RISK FACTORS You should carefully consider the following risks before making an investment decision. You should also refer to the other information set forth in this prospectus and incorporated by reference in this prospectus. This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could vary significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Some risks that could cause our results to vary are disclosed below. We may experience material fluctuations in future operating results. Our future operating results are difficult to predict and may be affected by a number of factors including the timing of new product announcements or introductions by us and our competitors, competitive pricing pressures, fluctuations in manufacturing yields, adequate availability of wafers and manufacturing capacity, our ability to continue hiring engineers and other qualified employees needed to meet the expected demands of our largest customers and changes in product mix and economic conditions in the United States and international markets. In addition, the semiconductor market has historically been cyclical and subject to significant economic downturns at various times. Our business is subject to rapid technological changes and there can be no assurance, depending on the mix of future business, that products stocked in inventory will not be rendered obsolete before we ship them. As a result of these and other factors, there can be no assurance that we will not experience material fluctuations in future operating results on a quarterly or annual basis. Our future success depends upon our ability to develop and market new products and enter new markets. Our success depends in part on our continued ability to develop and market new products. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop and introduce new products in a timely manner or that new products, if developed, will achieve market acceptance. In addition, our growth is dependent on our continued ability to penetrate new markets where we have limited experience and competition is intense. There can be no assurance that the markets we serve will grow in the future; that our existing and new products will meet the requirements of these markets; that our products will achieve customer acceptance in these markets; that competitors will not force prices to an unacceptably low level or take market share from us; or that we can achieve or maintain profits in these markets. Also, some of our customers in these markets are less well established, which could subject us to increased credit risk. We may not be able to compete successfully in the semiconductor industry in the future. The semiconductor industry is intensely competitive. Some of our competitors have greater technical, marketing, manufacturing and financial resources than we do. Our competitors also include emerging companies attempting to sell products to specialized markets such as those that we serve. Our competitors have, in some cases, developed and marketed products having similar design and functionality as our products. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in the future against existing or new competitors or that our operating results will not be adversely affected by increased price competition. We may not be able to satisfy increasing demand for our products, and increased production may lead to overcapacity and lower prices. The cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry has resulted in sustained or short-term periods when demand for our products has increased or decreased rapidly. We and the semiconductor industry have experienced a period of rapid increases in demand during fiscal 1999 and during the current fiscal year. We have increased our manufacturing capacity over the past three years through both expansion of our production facilities and increased access to third-party foundries. However, 4
we cannot be sure that we will not encounter unanticipated production problems at either our own facilities or at third-party foundries, or that the increased capacity will be sufficient to satisfy demand for our products. We believe that other semiconductor manufacturers have expanded their production capacity over the past several years. This expansion by us and our competitors could lead to overcapacity in our target markets, which could lead to price erosion that would adversely affect our operating results. We rely on third-party subcontractors and manufacturers for some industry- standard wafers and therefore cannot control their availability or conditions of supply. We rely, and plan to continue to rely, on assembly and test subcontractors and on third-party wafer fabricators to supply most of our wafers that can be manufactured using industry-standard digital processes. This reliance involves several risks, including reduced control over delivery schedules, manufacturing yields and costs. Also, noncompliance with "take or pay" covenants in supply agreements could adversely impact our operating results. Our revenues may not increase enough to offset the expense of additional capacity. Our capacity additions resulted in a significant increase in operating expenses. If revenue levels do not increase enough to offset these additional expense levels, our future operating results could be adversely affected. In addition, asset values could be impaired if the additional capacity is underutilized for an extended period of time. We rely on manufacturing capacity located in geologically unstable areas, which could affect the availability of supplies and services. We and many companies in the semiconductor industry rely on internal manufacturing capacity located in California and Taiwan as well as wafer fabrication foundries in Taiwan and other sub-contractors in geologically unstable locations around the world. This reliance involves risks associated with the impact of earthquakes on us and the semiconductor industry, including temporary loss of capacity, availability and cost of key raw materials and equipment, and availability of key services including transport. We are exposed to economic and political risks through our significant international operations. In the first nine months of fiscal 2000, 56% of our revenues were derived from customers in international markets. We have manufacturing facilities outside the U.S. in Ireland, the Philippines and Taiwan. In addition to being exposed to the ongoing economic cycles in the semiconductor industry, we are also subject to the economic and political risks inherent in international operations, including the risks associated with the ongoing uncertainties in many developing economies around the world. These risks include air transportation disruptions, expropriation, currency controls and changes in currency exchange rates, tax and tariff rates and freight rates. Although we engage in hedging transactions to reduce our exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations, there can be no assurance that our competitive position will not be adversely affected by changes in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against other currencies. We are involved in frequent litigation regarding intellectual property rights, which could be costly to undertake and could require us to redesign products or pay significant royalties. The semiconductor industry is characterized by frequent claims and litigation involving patent and other intellectual property rights. We have from time to time received, and may in the future receive, claims from third parties asserting that our products or processes infringe their patents or 5
other intellectual property rights. In the event a third party makes a valid intellectual property claim and a license is not available on commercially reasonable terms, we could be forced either to redesign or to stop production of products incorporating that intellectual property, and our operating results could be materially and adversely affected. Litigation may be necessary to enforce patents or other of our intellectual property rights or to defend us against claims of infringement, and this litigation can be costly and divert the attention of key personnel. See Note 11 of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 30, 1999 incorporated by reference in this prospectus for information concerning pending litigation involving us. An adverse outcome in this litigation could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or on our consolidated results of operations or cash flows in the period in which the litigation is resolved. The price of our common stock and therefore the price of our notes may fluctuate significantly, which may result in losses for investors. The market price for our common stock has been and may continue to be volatile. For example, during the 52-week period ended October 25, 2000, the closing prices of our common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange ranged from a high of $103.00 to a low of $23.31. We expect our stock price to be subject to fluctuations as a result of a variety of factors, including factors beyond our control. These factors include: . actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results; . announcements of technological innovations or new products or services by us or our competitors; . announcements relating to strategic relationships or acquisitions; . changes in financial estimates or other statements by securities analysts; . changes in general economic conditions; . conditions or trends affecting the semiconductor industry; and . changes in the economic performance and/or market valuations of other semiconductor and high-technology companies. Because of this volatility, we may fail to meet the expectations of our stockholders or of securities analysts at some time in the future, and our stock price and therefore the price of our notes could decline as a result. In addition, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the trading prices of equity securities of many high technology companies. These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to changes in the operating performance of these companies. Any negative change in the public's perception of semiconductor companies could depress our stock price regardless of our operating results. Leverage and debt service obligations may adversely affect our cash flow. We have a substantial amount of outstanding indebtedness as a result of the issuance of the notes. There is the possibility that we may be unable to generate cash sufficient to pay the principal of, interest on and other amounts due in respect of the notes when due. Our substantial leverage could have significant negative consequences, including: . increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; 6
. requiring the dedication of a substantial portion of our expected cash flow from operations to service our indebtedness, thereby reducing the amount of our expected cash flow available for other purposes, including capital expenditures; and . limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we compete. The notes rank below our senior debt, and we may be unable to repay our obligations under the notes. The notes are unsecured and subordinated in right of payment to all of our senior debt. Because the notes are subordinate to our senior debt, if we experience: . a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization; . an acceleration of the notes due to an event of default under the indenture; or . other specified events; we will be permitted to make payments on the notes only after we have satisfied all of our senior debt obligations. Therefore, we may not have sufficient assets remaining to pay amounts due on any or all of the notes. In addition, the notes effectively are subordinate to all liabilities, including trade payables, of our subsidiaries and any subsidiaries that we may in the future acquire or establish. Consequently, our right to receive assets of any subsidiaries upon their liquidation or reorganization, and the rights of the holders of the notes to share in those assets, would be subordinate to the claims of the subsidiaries' creditors. The notes are our obligations exclusively. The indenture for the notes does not limit our ability, or that of any of our presently existing or future subsidiaries, to incur senior debt, other indebtedness and other liabilities. We may have difficulty paying what we owe under the notes if we, or any of our subsidiaries, incur additional indebtedness or other liabilities. As of July 29, 2000, we had senior debt outstanding of approximately $5 million, and our subsidiaries had approximately $385 million of outstanding liabilities, excluding intercompany liabilities. From time to time we and our subsidiaries may incur additional indebtedness, including senior debt, which could adversely affect our ability to pay our obligations under the notes. We may be unable to repay or repurchase the notes. At maturity, the entire outstanding principal amount of the notes will become due and payable. In addition, if we experience a change in control, as described in "Description of the Notes--Repurchase at Option of Holders Upon a Change in Control", each holder of the notes may require us to repurchase all or a portion of that holder's notes. At maturity or if a change in control occurs, we may not have sufficient funds or may be unable to arrange for additional financing to pay the principal amount or repurchase price due. Under the terms of the indenture for the notes, we may elect, if we meet some conditions, to pay the repurchase price with shares of common stock. Any future borrowing arrangements or agreements relating to senior debt to which we become a party may contain restrictions on, or prohibitions against, our repayments or repurchases of the notes. If the maturity date or change in control occurs at a time when our other arrangements prohibit us from repaying or repurchasing the notes, we could try to obtain the consent of the lenders under those arrangements, or we could attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain the restrictions. If we do not obtain the necessary consents or refinance these borrowings, we will be unable to repay or repurchase the notes. In that case, our failure to repurchase any tendered notes or repay the notes due upon maturity would constitute an event of default under the indenture. Any such default, in turn, may cause a default under the terms of our senior debt. As a result, in those circumstances, the subordination provisions of the indenture would, absent a waiver, prohibit any repayment or repurchase of the notes until we pay the senior debt in full. 7
USE OF PROCEEDS All of the notes and the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes are being sold by the selling securityholders or by their pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the notes or the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes.

DESCRIPTION OF NOTES We issued the notes under a document called the "Indenture". The Indenture is a contract between us and State Street Bank and Trust Company, as Trustee. The Indenture and the notes are governed by New York law. Because this section is a summary, it does not describe every aspect of the notes and the Indenture that may be important to you. In this section, we use capitalized words to signify defined terms that have been given special meaning in the Indenture. We describe the meaning of only the more important terms. You should read the Indenture itself for a full description of the terms of the notes. Wherever we refer to particular defined terms, those defined terms are incorporated by reference here. In this section, references to "Analog", "we", "our" or "us" refer solely to Analog Devices, Inc. and not its subsidiaries. General The notes are general, unsecured obligations of Analog. The notes are subordinated, which means that they rank behind some of our indebtedness as described below. The notes are limited to $1,200,000,000 aggregate principal amount. We are required to repay the principal amount of the notes in full on October 1, 2005. The notes bear interest at the rate of 4.75% per annum. Interest is computed on the basis of a 360 day year of twelve thirty day months. We will pay interest on the notes on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on April 1, 2001. A holder of notes may convert the notes into shares of our common stock initially at the conversion rate of 7.7056 shares per $1,000 in principal amount of the notes at any time before the close of business on the business day preceding October 1, 2005, unless the notes have been previously redeemed or repurchased. The conversion rate may be adjusted as described below. We may redeem the notes at our option at any time on or after October 1, 2003, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices set forth below under "-- Optional Redemption by Analog", plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. If there is a Change in Control of Analog, a holder of notes may have the right to require us to repurchase its notes as described below under "--Repurchase at Option of Holders Upon a Change in Control". Form, Denomination, Transfer, Exchange and Book-Entry Procedures The notes are issued: . only in fully registered form; . without interest coupons; and . in denominations of $1,000 and greater multiples. The notes are evidenced by one or more global notes which were deposited with the Trustee as custodian for DTC and registered in the name of Cede & Co., which we refer to as Cede, as nominee of DTC. The global note and any notes issued in exchange for the global note are subject to restrictions on transfer and will bear legends regarding those restrictions. Except as set forth below, record ownership of the global note may be transferred, in whole or in part, only to another nominee of DTC or to a successor of DTC or its nominee. The global note will not be registered in the name of any person, or exchanged for notes that are registered in the name of any person, other than DTC or its nominee unless either of the following occurs: . DTC notifies us that it is unwilling, unable or no longer qualified to continue acting as the depositary for the global note; or 10
. an Event of Default with respect to the notes represented by the global note has occurred and is continuing. In those circumstances, DTC will determine in whose names any securities issued in exchange for the global note will be registered. DTC or its nominee will be considered the sole owner and holder of the global note for all purposes, and as a result: . a holder of notes cannot get notes registered in its name if they are represented by the global note; . a holder of notes cannot receive certificated (physical) notes in exchange for its beneficial interest in the global notes; . a holder of notes will not be considered to be the owner or holder of the global note or any note it represents for any purpose; and . all payments on the global note will be made to DTC or its nominee. The laws of some jurisdictions require that some kinds of purchasers (for example, some insurance companies) can only own securities in definitive (certificated) form. These laws may limit the ability of a holder of notes to transfer its beneficial interests in the global note to these types of purchasers. Only institutions (such as a securities broker or dealer) that have accounts with DTC or its nominee, which are referred to as participants, and persons that may hold beneficial interests through participants can own a beneficial interest in the global note. The only place where the ownership of beneficial interests in the global note will appear and the only way the transfer of those interests can be made will be on the records kept by DTC (for their participants' interests) and the records kept by those participants (for interests of persons held by participants on their behalf). Secondary trading in bonds and notes of corporate issuers is generally settled in clearinghouse (that is, next-day) funds. In contrast, beneficial interests in a global note usually trade in DTC's same-day funds settlement system and settle in immediately available funds. We make no representations as to the effect that settlement in immediately available funds will have on trading activity in those beneficial interests. We will make cash payments of interest on and principal of and the redemption or repurchase price of the global note, as well as any payment of Liquidated Damages, to Cede, the nominee for DTC, as the registered owner of the global note. We will make these payments by wire transfer of immediately available funds on each payment date. We have been informed that DTC's practice is to credit participants' accounts on the payment date with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the notes represented by the global note as shown on DTC's records, unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on that payment date. Payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in notes represented by the global note held through participants will be the responsibility of those participants. We will send any redemption notices to Cede. We understand that if less than all the notes are being redeemed, DTC's practice is to determine by lot the amount of the holdings of each participant to be redeemed. 11
We also understand that neither DTC nor Cede will consent or vote with respect to the notes. We have been advised that under its usual procedures, DTC will mail an "omnibus proxy" to us as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns Cede's consenting or voting rights to those participants to whose accounts the notes are credited on the record date identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy. Because DTC can only act on behalf of participants, who in turn act on behalf of indirect participants, the ability of a person having a beneficial interest in the principal amount represented by the global note to pledge the interest to persons or entities that do not participate in the DTC book-entry system, or otherwise take actions in respect of that interest, may be affected by the lack of a physical certificate evidencing its interest. DTC has advised us that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of notes (including the presentation of notes for exchange) only at the direction of one or more participants to whose account DTC interests in the global note are credited and only in respect of the portion of the principal amount of the notes represented by the global note as to which the participant or participants has or have given the direction. DTC has also advised us as follows: DTC is a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code, as amended, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities for its participants and facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its participants. Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations and may include other organizations. Some of these participants (or their representatives), together with other entities, own DTC. Indirect access to the DTC system is available to other entities such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly. The policies and procedures of DTC, which may change periodically, will apply to payments, transfers, exchanges and other matters relating to beneficial interests in the global note. We and the Trustee have no responsibility or liability for any aspect of DTC's or any participants' records relating to beneficial interests in the global note, including for payments made on the global note, and we and the Trustee are not responsible for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of those records. Conversion Rights A holder of notes may, at its option, convert any portion of the principal amount of any note that is an integral multiple of $1,000 into shares of our common stock at any time on or prior to the close of business on the business day prior to the maturity date, unless the notes have been previously redeemed or repurchased, at a conversion rate of 7.7056 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes. The conversion rate is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $129.78. The right of a holder of notes to convert a note called for redemption or delivered for repurchase will terminate at the close of business on the business day prior to the redemption date or repurchase date for that note, unless we default in making the payment due upon redemption or repurchase. A holder of notes may convert all or part of any note by delivering the note at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, accompanied by a duly signed and completed notice of conversion, a copy of which may be obtained by the Trustee. The conversion date will be the date on which the note and the duly signed and completed notice of conversion are so delivered. 12
As promptly as practicable on or after the conversion date, we will issue and deliver to the Trustee a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion, together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share. The certificate will then be sent by the Trustee to the conversion agent for delivery to the holder. The shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes will be fully paid and nonassessable and will rank equally with the other shares of our common stock. If a holder of notes surrenders a note for conversion on a date that is not an Interest Payment Date, the holder will not be entitled to receive any interest for the period from the next preceding Interest Payment Date to the conversion date, except as described below in this paragraph. Any note surrendered for conversion 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 (except notes (or portions thereof) called for redemption on a redemption date for which the right to convert would terminate during that period) must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the interest payable on the Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of notes being surrendered for conversion. In the case of any note which has been converted after any Regular Record Date (as described below under "--Payment and Conversion") but before the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest payable on the Interest Payment Date shall be payable on the Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion, and the interest shall be paid to the holder of the note on the Regular Record Date. No other payment or adjustment for interest, or for any dividends in respect of our common stock, will be made upon conversion. Holders of our common stock issued upon conversion will not be entitled to receive any dividends payable to holders of our common stock as of any record time or date before the close of business on the conversion date. We will not issue fractional shares upon conversion. Instead, we will pay cash based on the market price of our common stock at the close of business on the conversion date. A holder of notes will not be required to pay any taxes or duties relating to the issue or delivery of our common stock on conversion but will be required to pay any tax or duty relating to any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of our common stock in a name other than that of the holder. Certificates representing shares of our common stock will not be issued or delivered unless all taxes and duties, if any, payable by the holder have been paid. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment for, among other things: . dividends (and other distributions) payable in our common stock on shares of our capital stock, . the issuance to all holders of our common stock of rights, options or warrants entitling them to subscribe for or purchase our common stock at less than the then Current Market Price of the common stock (determined as provided in the Indenture) as of the record date for shareholders entitled to receive those rights, options or warrants, . subdivisions, combinations and reclassifications of our common stock, . distributions to all holders of our common stock of evidences of indebtedness of Analog, shares of capital stock, cash or assets (including securities, but excluding those dividends, rights, options, warrants and distributions referred to above, dividends and distributions paid exclusively in cash and distributions upon mergers or consolidations), . distributions consisting exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions referred to in the immediately preceding clause, or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation as 13
discussed below) to all holders of our common stock in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (1) other all-cash distributions made within the preceding 365-day period in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (2) any cash and the fair market value of other consideration payable in connection with any tender offer by us or any of our subsidiaries for our common stock concluded within the preceding 365-day period in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 12.5% of our market capitalization (being the product of the Current Market Price per share of the common stock on the record date for the distribution and the number of shares of common stock then outstanding), and . the successful completion of a tender offer made by us or any of our subsidiaries for our common stock which involves an aggregate consideration that, together with any cash and other consideration payable in a tender offer by us or any of our subsidiaries for our common stock expiring within the 365-day period preceding the expiration of the tender offer in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 15% of our market capitalization on the expiration of the tender offer. We reserve the right to effect increases in the conversion rate in addition to those required by the foregoing provisions as we consider to be advisable in order that any event treated for United States federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the recipients. We will not be required to make any adjustment to the conversion rate until the cumulative adjustments amount to 1.0% or more of the conversion rate. We will compute all adjustments to the conversion rate and will give notice by mail to holders of the registered notes of any adjustments. In case of any consolidation or merger of Analog with or into another entity or any merger of another entity into Analog (other than a merger which does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of our common stock), or in case of any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of our assets, each note then outstanding will become convertible only into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon the consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by a holder of the number of shares of common stock into which the notes were convertible immediately prior to the consolidation or merger or sale or transfer. We may increase the conversion rate for any period of at least 20 days, upon at least 15 days' notice, if our Board of Directors determines that the increase would be in our best interest. The Board of Directors' determination in this regard will be conclusive. We will give holders of notes at least 15 days' notice of such an increase in the conversion rate. Any increase, however, will not be taken into account for purposes of determining whether the closing price of our common stock exceeds the conversion price by 105% in connection with an event which otherwise would be a Change in Control as defined below. We may also increase the conversion rate for the remaining term of the notes or any shorter period in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to any holders of shares of common stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock or issuance of rights or warrants to purchase or subscribe for stock or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes. If at any time we make a distribution of property to our stockholders that would be taxable to stockholders as a dividend for United States federal income tax purposes, such as distributions of evidences of indebtedness or assets of Analog, but generally not stock dividends on common stock or rights to subscribe for common stock, and, pursuant to the adjustment provisions of the Indenture, the number of shares into which notes are convertible is increased, that increase may be deemed for United States federal income tax purposes to be the payment of a taxable dividend to holders of notes. See "Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences--U.S. Holders". Subordination The notes are subordinated and, as a result, the payment of the principal, any premium and interest (including Liquidated Damages) on the notes, including amounts payable on any redemption 14
or repurchase, will be subordinated to the prior payment in full, in cash or other payment satisfactory to holders of Senior Debt, of all of our Senior Debt. The notes are also effectively subordinated to any debt or other liabilities of our subsidiaries. On July 29, 2000 we had approximately $5 million outstanding Senior Debt and the aggregate amount of liabilities of our subsidiaries was approximately $385 million, excluding intercompany liabilities. "Senior Debt" is defined in the Indenture to mean: the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (including all interest accruing subsequent to the commencement of any bankruptcy or similar proceeding, whether or not a claim for post-petition interest is allowable as a claim in any such proceeding) on, and all fees and other amounts payable in connection with, the following, whether absolute or contingent, secured or unsecured, due or to become due, outstanding on the date of the Indenture or thereafter created, incurred or assumed: . our indebtedness evidenced by a credit or loan agreement, note, bond, debenture or other written obligation, . all of our obligations for money borrowed, . all of our obligations evidenced by a note or similar instrument given in connection with the acquisition of any businesses, properties or assets of any kind, . our obligations (1) as lessee under leases required to be capitalized on the balance sheet of the lessee under generally accepted accounting principles or (2) as lessee under other leases for facilities, capital equipment or related assets, whether or not capitalized, entered into or leased for financing purposes, . all of our obligations under interest rate and currency swaps, caps, floors, collars, hedge agreements, forward contracts or similar agreements or arrangements, . all of our obligations with respect to letters of credit, bankers' acceptances and similar facilities (including reimbursement obligations with respect to the foregoing), . all of our obligations issued or assumed as the deferred purchase price of property or services (but excluding trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business), . all obligations of the type referred to in the above clauses of another person and all dividends of another person, the payment of which, in either case, we have assumed or guaranteed, or for which we are responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, jointly or severally, as obligor, guarantor or otherwise, or which are secured by a lien on our property, and . renewals, extensions, modifications, replacements, restatements and refundings of, or any indebtedness or obligation issued in exchange for, any indebtedness or obligation described in the above clauses of this definition. Senior Debt will not include the notes or any other indebtedness or obligation if its terms or the terms of the instrument under which or pursuant to which it is issued expressly provide that it is not superior in right of payment to the notes. We may not make any payment on account of principal, premium or interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any) on the notes, or redemption or repurchase of the notes, if either of the following occurs: . we default on our obligations to pay principal, premium, interest or other amounts on our Senior Debt, including a default under any redemption or repurchase obligation, and the default continues beyond any grace period that we may have to make those payments; or 15
. any other default occurs and is continuing on any Designated Senior Debt (as described below) and (1) the default permits the holders of the Designated Senior Debt to accelerate its maturity and (2) the Trustee has received a notice, which is referred to as a Payment Blockage Notice, of the default from Analog, the holder of the debt or any other person permitted to give this notice under the Indenture. If payments on the notes have been blocked by a payment default on Senior Debt, payments on the notes may resume when the payment default has been cured or waived or ceases to exist. If payments on the notes have been blocked by a nonpayment default, payments on the notes may resume on the earlier of (1) the date the nonpayment default is cured or waived or ceases to exist or (2) 179 days after the Payment Blockage Notice is received. No nonpayment default that existed on the day a Payment Blockage Notice was delivered to the Trustee can be used as the basis for any subsequent Payment Blockage Notice. In addition, once a holder of Designated Senior Debt has blocked payment on the notes by giving a Payment Blockage Notice, no new period of payment blockage can be commenced pursuant to a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice until both of the following are satisfied: . 365 days have elapsed since the effectiveness of the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice; and . all scheduled payments of principal, any premium and interest with respect to the notes that have come due have been paid in full in cash. "Designated Senior Debt" means our obligations under any particular Senior Debt in which the instrument creating or evidencing the same or the assumption or guarantee thereof (or related agreements or documents to which we are a party), whether or not executed contemporaneously with the incurrence of that Senior Debt, expressly provides that the indebtedness shall be "Designated Senior Debt" for purposes of the Indenture. The instrument, agreement or other document evidencing any Designated Senior Debt may place limitations and conditions on the right of that Senior Debt to exercise the rights of Designated Senior Debt. In addition, upon any acceleration of the principal due on the notes as a result of an Event of Default or upon any payment or distribution of our assets to creditors upon any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization, whether voluntary or involuntary, marshaling of assets, assignment for the benefit of creditors, or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceedings, all principal, premium, if any, interest and other amounts due on all Senior Debt must be paid in full before a holder of notes is entitled to receive any payment. By reason of this subordination, in the event of insolvency, our creditors who are holders of Senior Debt are likely to recover more, ratably, than a holder of notes is, and a holder of notes will likely experience a reduction or elimination of payments on the notes. In addition, the notes are "structurally subordinated" to all indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables and lease obligations, of our subsidiaries. This occurs because any right of Analog to receive any assets of any of our subsidiaries upon the subsidiary's liquidation or reorganization, and the right of the holders of the notes to participate in those assets, will be effectively subordinated to the claims of that subsidiary's creditors, including trade creditors, except to the extent that Analog itself is recognized as a creditor of that subsidiary, in which case the claims of Analog would still be subordinate to any security interest in the assets of the subsidiary and any indebtedness of the subsidiary senior to that held by Analog. The Indenture does not limit our ability to incur Senior Debt or our ability or the ability of our subsidiaries to incur any other indebtedness. 16
Optional Redemption by Analog On or after October 1, 2003 we may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at the prices set forth below. If we elect to redeem all or part of the notes, we will give at least 30 but no more than 60 days notice to the holders of notes. The redemption price, expressed as a percentage of principal amount, is as follows for the 12-month periods beginning on October 1 of the following years: Redemption Year Price ---- ---------- 2003.............................................................. 101.90% 2004.............................................................. 100.95% and thereafter is equal to 100% of the principal amount, in each case together with accrued interest to the date of redemption. No sinking fund is provided for the notes, which means that the Indenture does not require us to redeem or retire the notes periodically. We may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, at any time purchase notes in the open market, by tender at any price or by private agreement. Any note that we purchase may, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to restrictions contained in the purchase agreement with the initial purchasers, be re-issued or resold or may, at our option, be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. Any notes surrendered for cancellation may not be re- issued or resold and will be canceled promptly. Payment and Conversion We will make all payments of principal and interest on registered notes by U.S. dollar check drawn on an account maintained at a bank in The City of New York. If a holder of notes holds registered notes with a face value greater than $2,000,000, at the request of the holder we will make payments of principal or interest to the holder by wire transfer to an account maintained by the holder at a bank in The City of New York. Payment of any interest on the notes will be made to the person in whose name the note, or any predecessor note, is registered at the close of business on the March 15 or the September 15 (whether or not a business day) immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date, referred to as a Regular Record Date. If a holder of notes holds registered notes with a face value in excess of $2,000,000 and the holder would like to receive payments by wire transfer, the holder will be required to provide the Trustee with wire transfer instructions at least 15 days prior to the relevant payment date. Payments on any global note registered in the name of DTC or its nominee will be payable by the Trustee to DTC or its nominee in its capacity as the registered holder under the Indenture. Under the terms of the Indenture, we and the Trustee will treat the persons in whose names the notes, including any global note, are registered as the owners for the purpose of receiving payments and for all other purposes. Consequently, neither we, the Trustee nor any of our agents or the Trustee's agents has or will have any responsibility or liability for (1) any aspect of DTC's records or any participant's or indirect participant's records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the global note, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any of DTC's records or any participant's or indirect participant's records relating to the beneficial ownership interests in the global note, or (2) any other matter relating to the actions and practices of DTC or any of its participants or indirect participants. 17
We will not be required to make any payment on the notes due on any day which is not a business day until the next succeeding business day. The payment made on the next succeeding business day will be treated as though it were paid on the original due date and no interest will accrue on the payment for the additional period of time. Notes may be surrendered for conversion at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York. Notes surrendered for conversion must be accompanied by appropriate notices and any payments in respect of interest or taxes, as applicable, as described above under "-- Conversion Rights". We have initially appointed the Trustee as paying agent and conversion agent. We may terminate the appointment of any paying agent or conversion agent and appoint additional or other paying agents and conversion agents. However, until the notes have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or moneys sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the notes have been made available for payment and either paid or returned to us as provided in the Indenture, the Trustee will maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York for surrender of notes for conversion. Notice of any termination or appointment and of any change in the office through which any paying agent or conversion agent will act will be given in accordance with "--Notices" below. All moneys deposited with the Trustee or any paying agent, or then held by us, in trust for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any notes which remain unclaimed at the end of two years after the payment has become due and payable will be repaid to us, and a holder of notes will then look only to us for payment. Repurchase at Option of Holders Upon a Change in Control If a Change in Control as defined below occurs, a holder of notes will have the right, at its option, to require us to repurchase all of its notes not previously called for redemption, or any portion of the principal amount thereof, that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. The price we are required to pay is 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, together with interest accrued to, but excluding, the repurchase date. At our option, instead of paying the repurchase price in cash, we may pay the repurchase price in our common stock valued at 95% of the average of the closing prices of our common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding and including the fifth trading day prior to the repurchase date. We may only pay the repurchase price in our common stock if we satisfy conditions provided in the Indenture. Within 30 days after the occurrence of a Change in Control, we are obligated to give to the holders of notes notice of the Change in Control and of the repurchase right arising as a result of the Change in Control. We must also deliver a copy of this notice to the Trustee. To exercise the repurchase right, a holder of notes must deliver on or before the 30th day after the date of our notice irrevocable written notice to the Trustee of the holder's exercise of its repurchase right, together with the notes with respect to which the right is being exercised. We are required to repurchase the notes on the date that is 45 days after the date of our notice. A Change in Control will be deemed to have occurred at the time after the notes are originally issued that any of the following occurs: (1) any person, including any syndicate or group deemed to be a "person" under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, acquires beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, through a purchase, merger or other acquisition transaction or series of transactions, of shares 18
of our capital stock entitling the person to exercise 50% or more of the total voting power of all shares of our capital stock that is entitled to vote generally in elections of directors, other than an acquisition by us, any of our subsidiaries or any of our employee benefit plans; or (2) we merge or consolidate with or into any other person, any merger of another person into us, or we convey, sell, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our assets to another person, other than any transaction: . that does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of our capital stock, or . pursuant to which the holders of our common stock immediately prior to the transaction have the entitlement to exercise, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total voting power of all shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the continuing or surviving corporation immediately after the transaction, or . which is effected solely to change our jurisdiction of incorporation and results in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding shares of our common stock solely into shares of common stock of the surviving entity. However, a Change in Control will not be deemed to have occurred if either (A) the closing price per share of our common stock for any five trading days within the period of 10 consecutive trading days ending immediately after the later of the Change in Control or the public announcement of the Change in Control, in the case of a Change in Control relating to an acquisition of capital stock, or the period of 10 consecutive trading days ending immediately before the Change in Control, in the case of Change in Control relating to a merger, consolidation or asset sale, equals or exceeds 105% of the conversion price of the notes in effect on each of those trading days or (B) all of the consideration (excluding cash payments for fractional shares and cash payments made pursuant to dissenters' appraisal rights) in a merger or consolidation otherwise constituting a Change in Control under clause (1) and/or clause (2) above consists of shares of common stock traded on a national securities exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq National Market (or will be so traded or quoted immediately following the merger or consolidation) and as a result of the merger or consolidation the notes become convertible into such common stock. For purposes of these provisions: . the conversion price is equal to $1,000 divided by the conversion rate; . whether a person is a "beneficial owner" will be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act; and . "person" includes any syndicate or group that would be deemed to be a "person" under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. Rule 13e-4 under the Exchange Act requires the dissemination of prescribed information to security holders in the event of an issuer tender offer and may apply in the event that the repurchase option becomes available to the holders of notes. We will comply with this rule to the extent it applies at that time. The definition of Change in Control includes a phrase relating to the conveyance, transfer, sale, lease or disposition of "all or substantially all" of our assets. There is no precise, established definition of the phrase "substantially all" under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of notes to require us to repurchase its notes as a result of the conveyance, transfer, sale, lease or other disposition of less than all of our assets may be uncertain. The foregoing provisions would not necessarily provide the holders of notes with protection if we are involved in a highly leveraged or other transaction that may adversely affect the holders. 19
Our ability to repurchase notes upon the occurrence of a Change in Control is subject to important limitations. Some of the events constituting a Change in Control could result in an event of default under our Senior Debt. Moreover, a Change in Control could cause an event of default under, or be prohibited or limited by, the terms of our Senior Debt. As a result, unless we were to obtain a waiver, a repurchase of the notes in cash could be prohibited under the subordination provisions of the Indenture until the Senior Debt is paid in full. Although we have the right to repurchase the notes with our common stock, subject to certain conditions, we cannot assure the holders of notes that we would have the financial resources, or would be able to arrange financing, to pay the repurchase price in cash for all the notes that might be delivered by holders of notes seeking to exercise the repurchase right. If we were to fail to repurchase the notes when required following a Change in Control, an Event of Default under the Indenture would occur, whether or not the repurchase is permitted by the subordination provisions of the Indenture. Any such default may, in turn, cause a default under our Senior Debt. See "--Subordination". Mergers and Sales of Assets We may not (1) consolidate with or merge into any other person or convey, transfer, sell or lease our properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any person, (2) permit any person to consolidate with or merge into us or (3) permit any person to convey, transfer, sell or lease that person's properties and assets substantially as an entirety to us unless: . in the case of (1) and (2) above, the person formed by the consolidation or into which we are merged or the person to which our properties and assets are so conveyed, transferred, sold or leased, shall be a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or trust organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any State within the United States or the District of Columbia and, if we are not the surviving person, the surviving person assumes the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the notes and the performance of our other covenants under the Indenture, and . in all cases, immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Event of Default, and no event that, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, will have occurred and be continuing. Events of Default The following will be Events of Default under the Indenture: . we fail to pay principal of or premium, if any, on any note when due, whether or not prohibited by the subordination provisions of the Indenture; . we fail to pay any interest, including any Liquidated Damages, on any note when due, which failure continues for 30 days, whether or not prohibited by the subordination provisions of the Indenture; . we fail to provide notice of a Change in Control, whether or not the notice is prohibited by the subordination provisions of the Indenture; . we fail to perform any other covenant in the Indenture, which failure continues for 60 days after written notice as provided in the Indenture; . any indebtedness under any bonds, debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness for money borrowed (or any guarantee thereof) by us or any of our significant subsidiaries in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $45,000,000 is not paid when due either at its stated maturity or upon acceleration thereof, and the indebtedness is not discharged, or the acceleration is not rescinded or annulled, within a period of 30 days after notice as provided in the Indenture; and 20
. certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization involving us or any of our significant subsidiaries. Subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any holder, unless the holder shall have offered reasonable indemnity to the Trustee. Subject to providing indemnification of the Trustee, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes will 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. If an Event of Default other than an Event of Default arising from events of insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization with respect to Analog occurs and is continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding notes may, subject to the subordination provisions of the Indenture, accelerate the maturity of all notes. However, after an acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes may, under certain circumstances, rescind and annul the acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of principal of the notes which have become due solely by the declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in the Indenture. If an Event of Default arising from events of insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization with respect to Analog occurs, then the principal of, and accrued interest on, all the notes will automatically become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the holders of the notes or the Trustee. For information as to waiver of defaults, see "--Meetings, Modification and Waiver". A holder of notes will not have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture, or for any remedy under the Indenture, unless the holder gives the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default and the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes have made written request, and offered reasonable indemnity, to the Trustee to institute proceedings, and the Trustee has not received from the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes direction inconsistent with the written request and shall have failed to institute the proceeding within 60 days. However, these limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a holder of notes for the enforcement of payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, including Liquidated Damages, on the holder's note on or after the respective due dates expressed in its note or the holder's right to convert its note in accordance with the Indenture. We will be required to furnish to the Trustee annually a statement as to our performance of some of our obligations under the Indenture and as to any default in such performance. Meetings, Modification and Waiver The Indenture contains provisions for convening meetings of the holders of notes to consider matters affecting their interests. Certain limited modifications of the Indenture may be made without the necessity of obtaining the consent of the holders of the notes. Other modifications and amendments of the Indenture may be made, and certain past defaults by us may be waived, either (i) with the written consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes at the time outstanding or (ii) by the adoption of a resolution, at a meeting of holders of the notes at which a quorum is present, by the holders of at least 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the notes represented at the meeting or, if less, holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes at the time outstanding. The quorum at any meeting called to adopt a resolution will be persons holding or representing a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes at the time 21
outstanding and, at any reconvened meeting adjourned for lack of a quorum, 25% of the aggregate principal amount. However, a modification or amendment requires the consent of the holder of each outstanding note affected if it would: . change the stated maturity of the principal or interest of a note; . reduce the principal amount of, or any premium or interest on, any note; . reduce the amount payable upon a redemption or mandatory repurchase; . modify the provisions with respect to the repurchase rights of holders of notes in a manner adverse to the holders; . change the place or currency of payment on a note; . impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on any note; . modify our obligation to maintain an office or agency in New York City; . modify the subordination provisions in a manner that is adverse to the holders of the notes; . adversely affect the right to convert the notes; . modify our obligation to deliver information required under Rule 144A to permit resales of the notes and common stock issued upon conversion of the notes if we cease to be subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act; . reduce the above-stated percentage of the principal amount of the holders whose consent is needed to modify or amend the Indenture; . reduce the percentage of the principal amount of the holders whose consent is needed to waive compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or to waive certain defaults; or . reduce the percentage required for the adoption of a resolution or the quorum required at any meeting of holders of notes at which a resolution is adopted. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes may waive compliance by us with certain restrictive provisions of the Indenture by written consent. Holders of at least 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of notes represented at a meeting or, if less, holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes at the time outstanding may also waive compliance by us with certain restrictive provisions of the Indenture by the adoption of a resolution at the meeting if a quorum of holders is present and certain other conditions are met. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes also may waive by written consent any past default under the Indenture, except a default in the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest which has not been cured. Registration Rights The registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part has been filed under the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement, which we entered into with the initial purchasers of the notes. In the Registration Rights Agreement we agreed, for the benefit of the holders of the notes and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes, which we refer to together as the Registrable Securities, that we would, at our expense: . file with the SEC, within 90 days after the date the notes were originally issued, a shelf registration statement covering resales of the Registrable Securities, subject to our right to postpone the filing of the shelf registration statement for an additional 90 days in limited circumstances; 22
. use our reasonable efforts to cause the shelf registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act within 180 days after the date the notes are originally issued, subject to our right to postpone having the shelf registration statement declared effective for an additional 90 days in limited circumstances; and . use our reasonable efforts to keep effective the shelf registration statement until two years after the date the notes are issued or, if earlier, until there are no outstanding Registrable Securities, which is referred to as the Effectiveness Period. We will be permitted to suspend the use of this prospectus, which is part of the shelf registration statement, in connection with the sales of Registrable Securities during prescribed periods of time for reasons relating to pending corporate developments, public filings with the SEC and other events. Following the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, we will provide to each holder of Registrable Securities copies of this prospectus, notify each holder that the shelf registration statement has become effective and take certain other actions required to permit public resales of the Registrable Securities. We may, upon written notice to all the holders of Registrable Securities, postpone having the shelf registration statement declared effective for a reasonable period not to exceed 90 days if we possess material non-public information the disclosure of which would have a material adverse effect on us and our subsidiaries taken as a whole. Notwithstanding any such postponement, additional interest, which is referred to as Liquidated Damages, will accrue on the notes (or on the common stock into which any notes have been converted) if either of the following events, which are referred to as Registration Defaults, occurs: . on or prior to 90 days following the date the notes were originally issued, a shelf registration statement has not been filed with the SEC; or . on or prior to 180 days following the date the notes were originally issued, the shelf registration statement is not declared effective. In that case, Liquidated Damages will accrue on the Registrable Securities from and including the day following the Registration Default to but excluding the day on which the Registration Default has been cured. Liquidated Damages will be paid semi-annually in arrears, with the first semi-annual payment due on the first Interest Payment Date following the date on which the Liquidated Damages began to accrue. Liquidated Damages accrue either on the principal amount of the notes or based on the conversion price of common stock issued upon conversion of the notes. The rates at which Liquidated Damages will accrue will be as follows: . 0.25% of the principal amount (or the conversion price) per annum to and including the 90th day after the Registration Default; and . 0.50% of the principal amount (or the conversion price) per annum from and after the 91st day after the Registration Default. In addition, Liquidated Damages will accrue if: . the shelf registration statement ceases to be effective, or we otherwise prevent or restrict holders of Registrable Securities from making sales under the shelf registration statement, for more than 45 days, whether or not consecutive, during any 90-day period; or . the shelf registration statement ceases to be effective, or we otherwise prevent or restrict holders of Registrable Securities from making sales under the shelf registration statement, for more than 90 days, whether or not consecutive, during any 12-month period. 23
In either event, the interest rate on the notes will increase by an additional 0.50% per annum from the 46th day of the 90-day period or the 91st day of the 12-month period. The Liquidated Damages will continue to accrue until the earlier of the following: . the time the shelf registration statement again becomes effective or the holders of Registrable Securities are again able to make sales under the shelf registration statement, depending on which event triggered the increase in interest rate; or . the date the Effectiveness Period expires. A holder who elects to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to the shelf registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is required to be named as a selling securityholder in this prospectus, may be required to deliver a prospectus to purchasers, may be subject to certain civil liability provisions under the Securities Act in connection with those sales and is bound by the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement that apply to a holder making this election, including indemnification provisions. No holder of Registrable Securities is entitled to be named as a selling securityholder in this prospectus and no holder of Registrable Securities is entitled to use this prospectus for offers and resales of Registrable Securities at any time, unless the holder has returned a completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire to us. Beneficial owners of Registrable Securities who have not returned a Notice and Questionnaire to us may receive another Notice and Questionnaire from us upon request. Following our receipt of a completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire, we will include the Registrable Securities covered thereby in the shelf registration statement, subject to restrictions on the timing and number of supplements to the shelf registration statement provided in the Registration Rights Agreement. We agreed in the Registration Rights Agreement to use our reasonable efforts to cause the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. However, if the common stock is not then listed on the New York Stock Exchange, we will use our reasonable efforts to cause the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes to be quoted or listed on whichever market or exchange the common stock is then quoted or listed, upon effectiveness of the shelf registration statement. This summary of certain provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement may not contain all the information important to the holders of notes. Holders of notes may request from us a copy of the Registration Rights Agreement. Notices Notice to holders of the registered notes will be given by mail to the addresses as they appear in the security register. Notices will be deemed to have been given on the date of mailing. Notice of a redemption of notes will be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date and will specify the redemption date. A notice of redemption of the notes will be irrevocable. Replacement of Notes We will replace any note that becomes mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost at the expense of the holder upon delivery to the Trustee of the mutilated notes or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction satisfactory to us and the Trustee. In the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed note, indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee and us may be required at the expense of the holder of the note before a replacement note will be issued. 24
Payment of Stamp and Other Taxes We have paid all stamp and other duties, if any, which may have been imposed by the United States or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to the issuance of the notes. We were not required to make any payment with respect to any other tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed by any government or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority thereof or therein. Governing Law The Indenture and the notes are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, United States of America. The Trustee If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be required to use the degree of care of a prudent person in the conduct of his own affairs in the exercise of its powers. Subject to these provisions, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request of any of the holders of notes, unless they shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity. 25
MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS The following is a summary of material United States federal income tax considerations relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes and the common stock into which the notes may be converted. This summary is not a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations relating thereto. We have based this summary on the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, the applicable U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated or proposed thereunder, judicial authority and current administrative rulings and practice, all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis, or to different interpretations. This summary applies to you only if you hold the notes and common stock as capital assets. A capital asset is generally an asset held for investment rather than as inventory or as property used in a trade or business. This summary also does not discuss the particular tax consequences that might be relevant to you if you are subject to special rules under the federal income tax laws. Special rules apply, for example, if you are: . a bank, thrift, insurance company, regulated investment company, or other financial institution or financial service company, . a broker or dealer in securities or foreign currency, . a person that has a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, . a partnership or other flow-through entity, . a subchapter S corporation, . a person subject to alternative minimum tax, . a person who owns the notes or common stock as part of a straddle, hedging transaction, conversion transaction, constructive sale transaction or other risk-reduction transaction, . a tax-exempt entity, . a person who has ceased to be a United States citizen or to be taxed as a resident alien, or . a person who acquires the notes or common stock in connection with your employment or other performance of services. In addition, the following summary does not address all possible tax consequences. In particular, except as specifically provided, it does not discuss any estate, gift, generation-skipping, transfer, state, local or foreign tax consequences. We have not sought any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in the following summary, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with these statements and conclusions. For all these reasons, we urge you to consult with your tax advisor about the federal income tax and other tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the notes and common stock. INVESTORS CONSIDERING THE PURCHASE OF THE NOTES SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE TAX TREATY. In General We have treated the notes as indebtedness for federal income tax purposes. This summary assumes that the IRS will respect this classification. 26
U.S. Holders As explained below, the federal income tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of the notes and common stock depend on whether or not you are a U.S. holder. For purposes of this summary, you are a U.S. holder if you are a beneficial owner of the notes or common stock and for federal income tax purposes are: . a citizen or resident of the United States, including an alien individual who is a lawful permanent resident of the United States or who meets the substantial presence residency test under the federal income tax laws, . a corporation, partnership or other entity treated as a corporation or partnership for federal income tax purposes, that is created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any of the fifty states or the District of Columbia, unless otherwise provided by Treasury regulations, . an estate the income of which is subject to federal income taxation regardless of its source, or . a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, and if your status as a U.S. holder is not overridden under the provisions of an applicable tax treaty. Conversely, you are a non-U.S. holder if you are a beneficial owner of the notes or common stock and are not a U.S. holder. If a partnership holds notes or common stock, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner in that partnership, you should consult your tax advisor. Payment of Interest All of the notes bear interest at a stated fixed rate. You generally must include this stated interest in your gross income as ordinary interest income: . when you receive it, if you use the cash method of accounting for federal income tax purposes, or . when it accrues, if you use the accrual method of accounting for federal income tax purposes. In some circumstances, we may be obligated to pay you amounts in excess of stated interest or principal on the notes. For example, we would have to pay liquidated damages in some circumstances described in "Description of Notes-- Registration Rights". In addition, in some cases we will be able to call the notes for redemption at a price that will include an additional amount in excess of the principal of the notes. According to Treasury regulations, the possibility of liquidated damages being paid to you will not affect the amount of interest income you recognize, in advance of the payment of any liquidated damages, if there is only a remote chance as of the date the notes were issued that you will receive liquidated damages. We believe that the likelihood that we will pay liquidated damages is remote. Therefore, we do not intend to treat the potential payment of liquidated damages as part of the yield to maturity of any notes. Similarly, we intend to take the position that the likelihood of a redemption or repurchase of the notes is remote and likewise do not intend to treat the possibility of any premium payable on a redemption or repurchase as affecting the yield to maturity of any notes. Our determination that these contingencies are remote is binding on you unless you disclose your contrary position in the manner required by applicable Treasury regulations. Our determination is not, however, binding on the IRS. In the event a contingency occurs, it would 27
affect the amount and timing of the income that you must recognize. If we pay liquidated damages on the notes, you will be required to recognize additional income. If we pay a redemption premium, the premium could be treated as capital gain under the rules described under "--Sale, Exchange or Redemption of Notes or Shares of Common Stock". Amortizable Bond Premium on Notes If you acquire a note and your adjusted tax basis in the note upon acquisition is greater than its principal amount, then you will be treated as having acquired that note with bond premium equal to the excess. Amortizable bond premium, however, will not include any premium attributable to the value of the note's conversion feature. You generally may elect to amortize the bond premium over the remaining term of the note on a constant yield method. The amount amortized in any year will be treated as a reduction of your interest income from the note for that year. If you do not make the election, your bond premium on a note will decrease the gain or increase the loss that you otherwise recognize on the note's disposition. Any election to amortize bond premium applies to all debt obligations, other than debt obligations the interest on which is excludable from gross income, that you hold at the beginning of the first taxable year to which the election applies or that you thereafter acquire. You may not revoke an election to amortize bond premium without the consent of the IRS. We urge you to consult with your tax advisor regarding this election. Market Discount on Notes If you acquire a note and your adjusted tax basis upon acquisition is less than its principal amount, then you will be treated as having acquired that note at a market discount equal to the difference. The foregoing does not apply if the amount of the market discount is less than the de minimis amount specified under the Code. Under the market discount rules, you will be required to treat any gain on the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of a note, or any appreciation in a note in the case of a nontaxable disposition, such as a gift, as ordinary income to the extent of the market discount that has not previously been included in income and that is treated as having accrued on the note at the time of the payment or disposition. In addition, you may be required to defer, until the maturity of the note or earlier taxable disposition, the deduction of all or a portion of interest expense on any indebtedness incurred or continued to purchase or carry the note. Any market discount will be considered to accrue evenly during the period from the day after your acquisition to the maturity date of the note, unless you elect to accrue the market discount on a constant yield method. You may also elect to include market discount in income currently as it accrues, on either an even or constant yield method. In that event, your basis in the note will increase by the amounts you so include in your income. If you make this election, the rules described above regarding ordinary income on dispositions and deferral of interest deductions will not apply. This election to include market discount in income currently, once made, applies to all market discount obligations acquired on or after the first taxable year to which the election applies. You may not revoke a market discount election without the consent of the IRS. We urge you to consult with your tax advisor regarding these market discount elections. You should consult your own tax advisors concerning the existence of, and tax consequences of, market discount and amortizable bond premium. Conversion of Notes You generally will not recognize gain or loss on the conversion of the notes solely into common stock, except with respect to cash received in lieu of fractional shares. Your tax basis in the shares of common stock received upon conversion of the notes will be equal to your adjusted tax basis in the notes exchanged for those shares, less any portion thereof allocable to cash received in lieu of a fractional share of common stock. The holding period of the common stock will generally include the period during which you held the notes prior to conversion. 28
Under the current ruling policy of the IRS, cash received in lieu of a fractional share of common stock generally should be treated as a payment in exchange for the fractional share rather than as a dividend. Accordingly, the receipt of cash in lieu of a fractional share of common stock generally will result in gain or loss (measured by the difference between the cash you receive for the fractional share and your adjusted tax basis in the fractional share). Any gain would be ordinary income to the extent of any accrued market discount on your notes that you have not previously included in your income, and otherwise would be capital gain. Any accrued market discount not previously included in income as of the date of the conversion of the notes will carry over to the common stock received on conversion and will give rise to ordinary income upon the subsequent disposition of that stock. Sale, Exchange or Redemption of Notes or Shares of Common Stock You generally will recognize gain or loss upon the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other disposition of notes (other than a conversion) measured by the difference between: . the amount of cash proceeds and the fair market value of any property you receive (except to the extent attributable to accrued interest income and market discount not previously included in income, which will generally be taxable as ordinary income, or attributable to accrued interest previously included in income, which amount may be received without generating further income), and . your adjusted tax basis in the notes. Your adjusted tax basis in the notes generally will equal your acquisition cost of the notes after reduction for amounts allocated to prior accrued stated interest, increased by any market discount included in your income, and reduced by any bond premium you amortized and principal payments you received. Subject to the market discount rules described above, the capital gain or loss will be long-term if your holding period is more than 12 months and will be short-term if your holding period is equal to or less than 12 months. In general, for individuals, long-term capital gains are taxed at a maximum rate of 20% and short-term capital gains are taxed at a maximum rate of 39.6%. Constructive Dividends on Notes Under Treasury regulations, an adjustment in the conversion price, or the failure to make an adjustment, may, under particular circumstances, be treated as a constructive taxable dividend to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits. Adjustments to the conversion price made pursuant to a bona fide reasonable adjustment formula which has the effect of preventing the dilution of your interest as a holder of the notes generally will not be considered to result in a constructive distribution of stock where the adjustment does not compensate you for taxable distributions to other stockholders. However, if at any time . we make a distribution of cash or property to our stockholders or a purchase of common stock and the distribution or purchase would be taxable to our stockholders as a dividend for United States federal income tax purposes (e.g., distributions of evidences of our indebtedness or assets, but generally not stock dividends or rights to subscribe for common stock) and, pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the Indenture, the conversion price (as defined in the Indenture) of the notes is reduced, . the conversion price is reduced pursuant to a formula that is not a bona fide reasonable adjustment formula, or . the conversion price of the notes is reduced at our discretion, this reduction in conversion price may be deemed to be the payment of a taxable dividend to you as a holder of the notes (pursuant to Section 305 of the Code). You could therefore have taxable income as a result of an event pursuant to which you received no cash or property. Your tax basis in a note, however, generally will be increased by the amount of any constructive dividend included in your income. 29
Distributions on Common Stock The amount of any distribution by us on the common stock will be equal to the amount of cash and the fair market value, on the date of distribution, of any property distributed. Generally, distributions will be treated as follows: . first as ordinary dividend income to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, . next as a nontaxable return of capital that reduces your basis in the stock dollar-for-dollar until the basis has been reduced to zero, and . finally as capital gain from the sale or exchange of the stock. In general, if you are a corporate U.S. holder, you will qualify for the 70% dividends-received deduction if you own less than 20% of the voting power and value of our stock (other than any non-voting, non-convertible, non- participating preferred stock). If you are a corporate U.S. holder that owns 20% or more of the voting power and value of our stock (other than any non- voting, non-convertible, non-participating preferred stock), generally you will qualify for an 80% dividends-received deduction. The dividends-received deduction is subject, however, to holding period requirements and taxable income and other limitations. A failure to adjust fully the conversion price of the notes to reflect a stock dividend or other event increasing the proportionate interest of holders of common stock in our earnings and profits or assets could, in some circumstances, be deemed to result in the payment of a taxable dividend to holders of common stock. Sale of Common Stock Subject to the market discount rules discussed above, your sale or other taxable disposition of common stock will generally result in capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash or property you receive and your adjusted tax basis in the stock. Such capital gain or loss will be long-term if your holding period is more than 12 months and will be short-term is your holding period is equal to or less than 12 months. In general, for individuals, long-term capital gains are taxed at a maximum rate of 20% and short-term capital gains are taxed at a maximum rate of 39.6%. Your basis and holding period in common stock received upon conversion of a convertible note are determined as discussed above under "-Conversion of Notes." Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Tax In general, information reporting requirements will apply to "reportable payments" to certain noncorporate U.S. holders of principal and interest on a note, dividends on common stock, the proceeds of the sale of a note and the proceeds of the sale of common stock. If you are a noncorporate U.S. holder you may be subject to backup withholding at a 31% rate when you receive interest and dividends with respect to the notes or common stock, or when you receive proceeds upon the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other disposition of the notes or common stock. In general, you can avoid this backup withholding by properly executing under penalties of perjury an IRS Form W-9 or substantially similar form that provides: . your correct taxpayer identification number, and . a certification that (a) you are exempt from backup withholding because you are a corporation or come within another enumerated exempt category, (b) you have not been notified by the IRS that you are subject to backup withholding, or (c) you have been notified by the IRS that you are no longer subject to backup withholding. 30
If you do not provide your correct taxpayer identification number on the IRS Form W-9 or substantially similar form, you may be subject to penalties imposed by the IRS. Backup withholding will not apply, however, with respect to payments made to certain holders, including corporations, tax exempt organizations and certain foreign persons, provided their exemptions from backup withholding are properly established. Amounts withheld are generally not an additional tax and may be refunded or credited against your federal income tax liability, provided you furnish the required information to the IRS. We will report to the U.S. holders of notes and common stock and to the IRS the amount of any "reportable payments" for each calendar year and the amount of tax withheld, if any, with respect to these payments. Non-U.S. Holders As used herein, the term "non-U.S. holder" means any beneficial owner of a note or common stock that is not a U.S. holder. Payment of Interest Generally, if you are a non-U.S. holder, interest income that is not effectively connected with a United States trade or business will not be subject to a U.S. withholding tax under the "portfolio interest exemption" provided that: . you do not actually or constructively own (pursuant to the conversion feature of the notes or otherwise) 10% or more of the combined voting power of all of our classes of stock entitled to vote, . you are not a controlled foreign corporation related to us actually or constructively through stock ownership, . you are not a bank which acquired the notes in consideration for an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of business, and . either (a) you provide a Form W-8BEN (or a suitable substitution form) signed under penalties of perjury that includes your name and address and certifies as to your non-United States status, or (b) a securities clearing organization, bank or other financial institution that holds customers' securities in the ordinary course of its trade or business, provides a statement to us or our agent under penalties of perjury in which it certifies that a Form W-8BEN or W-8IMY (or a suitable substitute) has been received by it from you or a qualifying intermediary and furnishes us or our agent with a copy of such form. Interest on notes not exempted from U.S. withholding tax as described above and not effectively connected with a United States trade or business generally will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a 30% rate, except where an applicable tax treaty provides for the reduction or elimination of that withholding tax. We may be required to report annually to the IRS and to each non-U.S. holder the amount of interest paid to, and the tax withheld, if any, with respect to, each non-U.S. holder. Except to the extent that an applicable treaty otherwise provides, generally you will be taxed in the same manner as a U.S. holder with respect to interest if the interest income is effectively connected with your conduct of a United States trade or business. If you are a corporate non-U.S. holder, you may also, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional "branch profits tax" at a 30% rate (or, if applicable, a lower treaty rate). Even though the effectively connected interest is subject to income tax, and may be subject to the branch profits tax, it may not be subject to withholding tax if you deliver a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI to the payor. 31
To claim the benefit of a tax treaty or to claim exemption from withholding because the income is U.S. trade or business income, the non-U.S. holder must provide a properly executed IRS Form 1001 or IRS Form 4224 (or any successor forms that the IRS designates), as applicable, prior to the payment of interest. Under recently issued Treasury regulations that generally will be effective on and after January 1, 2001, the non-U.S. holder must provide a properly executed Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI in order to continue to claim such benefit or exemption for payments made after December 31, 2000. Under the new regulations, a non-U.S. holder may in some circumstances be required to obtain a U.S. taxpayer identification number and make some certifications to us. Special procedures are provided in the new regulations for payments through qualified intermediaries. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of the new regulations. Sale, Exchange or Redemption of Notes If you are a non-U.S. holder of a note, generally you will not be subject to United States federal income tax or withholding tax on any gain realized on the sale, exchange or redemption of the note, including the receipt of cash in lieu of fractional shares upon conversion of a note into common stock, unless . the gain is effectively connected with your conduct of a United States trade or business, . you are an individual and are present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year of the disposition and certain other conditions are met, . you are subject to tax pursuant to the provisions of the Code applicable to certain United States expatriates, or . we are, or have been at any time, within the shorter of the five year period preceding the sale or other disposition and the period you held the note, a United States real property holding corporation within the meaning of Section 897 of the Code. We do not believe that we are currently a "United States real property holding corporation" within the meaning of Section 897 of the Code and do not expect that we will become one in the future. See "--United States Real Property Holding Corporations" below. Conversion of Notes In general, if you are a non-U.S. holder, no United States federal income tax or withholding tax will be imposed upon the conversion of a note into common stock. However, cash (if any) received in lieu of a fractional share will be subject to U.S. federal income tax if it is U.S. trade or business income. Cash received in lieu of a fractional share may give rise to gain that would be subject to the rules described above for the sale of notes. Sale or Exchange of Common Stock As a non-U.S. holder, generally you will not be subject to United States federal income tax or withholding tax on the sale or exchange of common stock unless any of the conditions described above under "--Sale, Exchange or Redemption of Notes" are satisfied. Dividends If you are a non-U.S. holder, you will be subject to United States federal withholding tax at a 30% rate (or lower rate provided under any applicable income tax treaty) on distributions by us with respect to the common stock that are treated as dividends paid (or dividends deemed paid on the notes or common stock, as described above under "U.S. Holders--Constructive Dividends on Notes" 32
and "U.S. Holders--Distributions on Common Stock") (excluding dividends that are effectively connected with the conduct by you of a trade or business in the United States and that are taxable as described below). Except to the extent that an applicable tax treaty otherwise provides, generally you will be taxed in the manner as a U.S. holder on dividends paid (or deemed paid) that are effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States. If you are a foreign corporation, you may also be subject to a United States branch profits tax on such effectively connected income at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified in an applicable income tax treaty. Even though such effectively connected dividends are subject to income tax, and may be subject to the branch profits tax, they will not be subject to U.S. withholding tax if you deliver the appropriate IRS Form W-8ECI to the payor, as discussed above. Under Treasury regulations applicable for payments made after December 31, 2000, if you are a non-U.S. holder of common stock and wish to claim the benefit of an applicable treaty rate, you will be required to satisfy certain certification requirements. Death of a Non-U.S. Holder If you are an individual who is not a citizen or resident of the United States and you hold a note at the time of your death, it will not be includable in your gross estate for United States estate tax purposes, provided that you do not at the time of death actually or constructively own 10% or more of the combined voting power of all of our classes of stock entitled to vote, and provided that, at the time of death, payments with respect to that note would not have been effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business within the United States. Common stock actually or beneficially held by you at the time of your death (or previously transferred subject to certain retained rights or powers) will be subject to United States federal estate tax unless otherwise provided by an applicable estate tax treaty. Information Reporting and Backup Withholding Tax If you are a non-U.S. holder, United States information reporting requirements and backup withholding tax will not apply to payments of interest on a note if you provide the statement described under "--Payment of Interest", provided that the payor does not have actual knowledge that you are a United States person. Information reporting will not apply to any payment of the proceeds of the sale of a note, or any payment of the proceeds of the sale of common stock effected outside the United States by a foreign office of a "broker" (as defined in applicable Treasury regulations), unless the broker (1) is a United States person, (2) is a foreign person that derives 50% or more of its gross income for certain periods from the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, (3) is a controlled foreign corporation for United States federal income tax purposes, or (4) with respect to payments made after December 31, 2000, is a foreign partnership, if at any time during its tax year, one or more of its partners are U.S. persons (as defined in Treasury regulations) who in the aggregate hold more than 50% of the income or capital interests in the partnership or if, at any time during its tax year, the foreign partnership is engaged in a United States trade or business. Payment of the proceeds of any such sale effected outside the United States by a foreign office of any broker that is described in (1), (2), (3) or (4) of the preceding sentence will be subject to information reporting requirements unless the broker has documentary evidence in its records that 33
you are a non-U.S. holder and certain other conditions are met, or you otherwise establish an exemption. Temporary Treasury regulations indicate that these payments are not currently subject to backup withholding. Payment of the proceeds of any such sale to or through the United States office of a broker is subject to information reporting and backup withholding requirements, unless you provide the statement described in "--Payment of Interest" or otherwise establish an exemption. If paid to an address outside the United States, dividends on common stock held by you as a non-U.S. holder will generally not be subject to the information reporting and backup withholding requirements described in this section. However, under recently issued Treasury regulations, dividend payments made after December 31, 2000 will be subject to information reporting and backup withholding unless applicable certification requirements are satisfied. Treasury regulations that apply to payments made after December 31, 2000 will modify current information reporting and backup withholding procedures and requirements. These regulations provide presumptions regarding the status of holders when payments to the holders cannot be reliably associated with appropriate documentation provided to the payor. For payments made after December 31, 2000, a holder must provide certification, if applicable, that conforms to the requirements of the regulations. Holders of a note or common stock should consult with their tax advisors regarding the application of the backup withholding rules to their particular situation, the availability of an exemption, the procedure for obtaining any available exemption and the impact of these new regulations on payments made with respect to notes or common stock after December 31, 2000. United States Real Property Holding Corporations The discussion of the United States taxation of non-U.S. holders of notes and common stock assumes that we are at no time a United States real property holding corporation within the meaning of Section 897(c) of the Code. Under present law, we would not be a United States real property holding corporation so long as the fair market value of our United States real property interests is less than 50% of the sum of . the fair market value of our United States real property interests, . our interests in real property located outside the United States, and . our other assets which are used or held for use in a trade or business. We believe that we are not a United States real property holding corporation and do not expect to become one. If we become a United States real property holding corporation, gain recognized by you as a non-U.S. holder on a disposition of notes or common stock would be subject to United States federal income tax unless . our common stock is "regularly traded on an established securities market" within the meaning of the Code and . either (A) you do not own, actually or constructively, at any time during the five-year period preceding the disposition, more than 5% of the common stock, or (B) in the case of a disposition of notes, you do not own, actually or constructively, notes which, as of any date on which you acquired notes, had a fair market value greater than that of 5% of the common stock. 34
Our Deductions for Interest on the Notes Under Section 279 of the Code, deductions otherwise allowable to a corporation for interest may be reduced or eliminated in the case of corporate acquisition indebtedness. This is defined generally to include subordinated convertible debt issued to provide consideration for the acquisition of stock or a substantial portion of the assets of another corporation, if either . the acquiring corporation has a debt to equity ratio that exceeds 2 to 1 or . the projected earnings of the corporation (the average annual earnings for the three-year period ending on the test date) do not exceed three times the annual interest costs of the corporation. Our deductions for interest on the notes could be reduced or eliminated if the notes meet the definition of corporate acquisition indebtedness in the year of issue. We believe that, based upon a preliminary analysis, we did not fail either the debt/equity or the earnings coverage test for the year ended October 28, 2000 and accordingly that interest deductions on the notes will not be disallowed. However, there can be no assurance that, based upon all of the facts, including events that took place between the date of issuance of the notes and the end of the taxable year of issuance, that interest deductions on the notes may not be disallowed in whole or in part in the year of issuance or in the future. In addition, the notes could become corporate acquisition indebtedness in a subsequent year if we initially meet the debt/equity ratio and earnings coverage tests, but later fail one or both tests in a year during which we issue additional indebtedness for corporate acquisitions. Our ability to deduct all of the interest payable on the notes will depend on the application of the foregoing tests to us. The availability of an interest deduction with respect to the notes was not determinative on our issuance of the notes. Under Section 163(l) of the Code, no deduction is permitted for interest paid or accrued or any indebtedness of a corporation that is "payable in equity" of the issuer or a related party. Debt is treated as debt payable in equity of the issuer if the debt is part of an arrangement designed to result in payment of the instrument with or by reference to the equity. Such arrangements could include debt instruments that are convertible at the holder's option if it is substantially certain that the option will be exercised. The legislative history indicates that it is not expected the provision will affect debt with a conversion feature where the conversion price is significantly higher than the market price of the stock on the date of the debt issuance. Accordingly, we do not believe that our interest deduction with respect to interest payments on the notes will be adversely affected by the application of these rules to the holder's option to convert the notes. Similarly, we do not believe that our interest deduction with respect to interest payments on the notes will be adversely affected by the application of these rules to our option to satisfy our obligation under the repurchase right triggered by a Change in Control with common stock. The preceding discussion of material United States federal income tax consequences is for general information only and is not tax advice. Accordingly, each investor should consult its own tax advisor as to particular tax consequences to it of purchasing, holding and disposing of the notes and the common stock, including the applicability and effect of any state, local or foreign tax laws, and of any proposed changes in applicable laws. 35
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK We are authorized to issue up to 600,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.16 2/3 per share, and 471,934 shares of preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share. Common Stock As of October 25, 2000, there were 357,905,514 shares of our common stock outstanding that were held of record by approximately 4,359 stockholders. Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and do not have cumulative voting rights. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all of the directors standing for election. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably any dividends that may be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor, subject to any preferential dividend rights of outstanding preferred stock. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in our net assets available after the payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any outstanding preferred stock. Holders of the common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and nonassessable. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock which we may designate and issue in the future. There are no shares of preferred stock outstanding. Preferred Stock Our Board of Directors is authorized, subject to some limitations prescribed by law, without further stockholder approval to issue from time to time up to an aggregate of 471,934 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix or alter the designations, preferences, rights and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of each series, including the dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption price or prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series or designation of that series. The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of Analog. We have no present plans to issue any shares of preferred stock. Massachusetts Law and Certain Provisions of Our Restated Articles of Organization and By-Laws Because we have more than 200 stockholders of record, we are subject to Chapter 110F of the Massachusetts General Laws, an anti-takeover law. In general, this statute prohibits a publicly held Massachusetts corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person becomes an interested stockholder, unless . the interested stockholder obtains the approval of the Board of Directors prior to becoming an interested stockholder, . the interested stockholder acquires 90% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation (excluding shares held by some affiliates of the corporation) at the time it becomes an interested stockholder, or . the business combination is approved by both the Board of Directors and the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation (excluding shares held by the interested stockholder). 36
An "interested stockholder" is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or at any time within the prior three years did own) 5% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation. A "business combination" includes a merger, a stock or asset sale, and some other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholders. Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 156B, Section 50A generally requires that a publicly-held Massachusetts corporation have a classified board of directors consisting of three classes as nearly equal in size as possible, unless the corporation elects to opt out of the statute's coverage. Our By-Laws contain provisions which give effect to Section 50A. Our By-Laws include a provision excluding us from the applicability of Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 110D, entitled "Regulation of Control Share Acquisitions". In general, this statute provides that any stockholder of a corporation subject to this statute who acquires 20% or more of the outstanding voting stock of a corporation may not vote that stock unless the stockholders of the corporation so authorize. The Board of Directors may amend our By-Laws at any time to subject us to this statute prospectively. Our Restated Articles of Organization, as amended, provide that we shall indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by Massachusetts law, as it now exists or may in the future be amended, against all liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with service for us or on our behalf. In addition, the Articles of Organization provide that our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages to us for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors, unless they violated their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized illegal dividends or redemptions or derived an improper personal benefit from their action as directors. This provision does not eliminate director liability under federal securities laws or preclude non-monetary relief under state law. Stockholder Rights Plan In March 1998, the Board of Directors adopted a Stockholder Rights Plan that replaced a plan adopted by the Board in 1988. Pursuant to the Stockholder Rights Plan, each share of common stock has an associated right. Under certain circumstances, each right would entitle the registered holder to purchase from us one one-thousandth share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $90 in cash, subject to adjustment. The rights are not exercisable and cannot be transferred separately from the common stock until ten business days (or such later date as may be determined by the Board of Directors) after . the public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons has acquired (or obtained rights to acquire) beneficial ownership of 15% or more of our common stock or . the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer that would result in a person or group beneficially owning 20% or more of the outstanding common stock. If and when the rights become exercisable, each holder of a right shall have the right to receive, upon exercise, that number of common stock (or in certain circumstances, cash, property or other of our securities) that equals the price of the right divided by 50% of the current market price (as defined in the Stockholder Rights Plan) per share of common stock at the date of the occurrence of the event. In the event at any time after any person becomes an acquiring person, . we are consolidated with, or merged with and into, another entity and we are not the surviving entity of the consolidation or merger or if we are the surviving entity, shares of our outstanding common stock are changed or exchanged for stock or securities or cash or any other property, or . 50% or more of our assets or earning power is sold or transferred, 37
each holder of a right shall thereafter have the right to receive upon exercise that number of shares of common stock of the acquiring company that equals the exercise price of the right divided by 50% of the current market price of the common stock at the date of the occurrence of the event. The rights have anti-takeover effects, in that they would cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire a significant interest in our stock on terms not approved by the Board of Directors. The rights expire on March 17, 2008 but may be redeemed by us for $.0005 per right at any time prior to the tenth day following a person's acquisition of 15% or more of our then outstanding common stock. So long as the rights are not separately transferable, each new share of common stock issued will have a right associated with it. 38
SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS We originally sold the notes on October 2, 2000 to Goldman, Sachs & Co., SG Cowen Securities Corporation and Salomon Smith Barney Inc. The initial purchasers of the notes have advised us that the notes were resold in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act to "qualified institutional buyers", as defined in Rule 144A of the Securities Act. These subsequent purchasers, or their transferees, pledgees, donees or successors, may from time to time offer and sell any or all of the notes and/or shares of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes pursuant to this prospectus. The notes and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes have been registered in accordance with the registration rights agreement. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, we are required to file a registration statement with regard to the notes and the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes and to keep the registration statement effective until the earlier of: (1) the sale of all the securities registered under the registration rights agreement; (2) the expiration of the holding period applicable to these securities under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act with respect to persons who are not our affiliates; and (3) two years from the date the registration statement is declared effective. The selling securityholders may choose to sell notes and/or the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes from time to time. See "Plan of Distribution". The following table sets forth: (1) the name of each selling securityholder who has provided us with notice as of the date of this prospectus pursuant to the registration rights agreement of their intent to sell or otherwise dispose of notes and/or shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes pursuant to the registration statement, (2) the principal amount of notes and the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes which they may sell from time to time pursuant to the registration statement, and (3) the amount of outstanding notes and our common stock beneficially owned by the selling securityholder prior to the offering, assuming no conversion of the notes. To our knowledge, no selling securityholder nor any of its affiliates has held any position or office with, been employed by or otherwise has had any material relationship with us or our affiliates during the three years prior to the date of this prospectus. A selling securityholder may offer all or some portion of the notes and shares of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes. Accordingly, no estimate can be given as to the amount or percentage of notes or our common stock that will be held by the selling securityholders upon termination of sales pursuant to this prospectus. In addition, the selling securityholders identified below may have sold, transferred or disposed of all or a portion of their notes since the date on which they provided the information regarding their holdings in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The information contained under the column heading "Shares That May be Sold" assumes conversion of the full amount of the notes held by the holder at the initial rate of 7.7056 shares of common stock per each $1,000 principal amount of notes. 39
Shares Of Amount Of Common Notes Owned Amount Of Stock Owned Before Notes That Before Shares That Name Offering May Be Sold Offering May Be Sold ---- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- [Details on selling securityholders to be inserted] Unknown (1)..................... - -------- (1) The name "Unknown" represents the remaining selling securityholders. We are unable to provide the names of these securityholders because certain of these notes are currently evidenced by a global note which has been deposited with DTC and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as DTC's nominee. If, after the date of this prospectus, a securityholder notifies us pursuant to the registration rights agreement of its intent to dispose of notes pursuant to the registration statement, we may supplement this prospectus to include that information. 40
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION We are registering the notes and the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes to permit public secondary trading of these securities by the holders from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We have agreed, among other things, to bear all expenses, other than underwriting discounts and selling commissions, in connection with the registration and sale of the notes and the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes covered by this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the offering of the notes or the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes by the selling securityholders. The notes and shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes may be sold from time to time directly by any selling securityholder or, alternatively, through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If notes or shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling securityholder will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agents' commissions. The notes or shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes may be sold: . in one or more transactions at fixed prices, . at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, . at varying prices determined at the time of sale or . at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve block trades or transactions in which the broker acts as agent for the seller and the buyer: . on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the notes or shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, . in the over-the-counter market, . in transactions otherwise than on a national securities exchange or quotation service or in the over-the-counter market or . through the writing of options. In connection with sales of the notes or shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes or otherwise, any selling securityholder may: . enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the notes or shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes in the course of hedging the positions they assume, . sell short and deliver notes or shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes to close out the short positions or . loan or pledge notes or shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes to broker-dealers that in turn may sell the securities. The outstanding common stock is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The initial purchasers of the notes have advised us that certain of the initial purchasers are making and 41
currently intend to continue making a market in the notes; however, they are not obligated to do so and any market-making of this type may be discontinued at any time without notice, in the sole discretion of the initial purchasers. We do not intend to apply for listing of the notes on the New York Stock Exchange or any securities exchange. Accordingly, we cannot assure that any trading market will develop or have any liquidity. The selling securityholders and any broker-dealers, agents or underwriters that participate with the selling securityholders in the distribution of the notes or the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, in which event any commissions received by these broker-dealers, agents or underwriters and any profits realized by the selling securityholders on the resales of the notes or the shares may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144, Rule 144A or any other available exemption from registration under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144, Rule 144A or any of the other available exemptions rather than pursuant to this prospectus. There is no assurance that any selling securityholder will sell any or all of the notes or shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes described in this prospectus, and any selling securityholder may transfer, devise or gift the securities by other means not described in this prospectus. We originally sold the notes to the initial purchasers in October 2000 in a private placement. We agreed to indemnify and hold the initial purchasers of the notes harmless against certain liabilities under the Securities Act that could arise in connection with the sale of the notes by the initial purchasers. The registration rights agreement provides for us and the selling securityholders to indemnify each other against certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act. We agreed pursuant to the registration rights agreement to use reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to which this prospectus relates to become effective within 180 days after the date the notes were originally issued and to keep the registration statement effective until the earlier of: . the sale of all the securities registered under the registration rights agreement, . the expiration of the holding period applicable to the securities under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act with respect to persons who are not our affiliates, and . two years from the date the registration statement is declared effective. The registration rights agreement provides that we may suspend the use of this prospectus in connection with sales of notes and shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes by holders for a period not to exceed an aggregate of 45 days in any 90-day period or 90 days in any 12-month period if any event occurs or any fact exists that would render the registration statement materially misleading. We will bear the expenses of preparing and filing the registration statement and all post-effective amendments. 42

PART II INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS ITEM 14. OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION. The following table sets forth the various expenses to be incurred in connection with the sale and distribution of the securities being registered hereby, all of which will be borne by the Registrant (except expenses incurred by the Selling Securityholders for brokerage fees, selling commissions and expenses incurred by the Selling Securityholders for legal services). All amounts shown are estimates except the Securities and Exchange Commission registration fee. Securities and Exchange Commission filing fee...................... $316,800 Legal fees and expenses............................................ 25,000 Printing expenses.................................................. 8,000 -------- Total Expenses................................................... $349,800 ======== ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Article 6A of the Registrant's Articles of Organization, as amended (the "Articles of Organization") provides for indemnification of directors and officers to the full extent permitted under Massachusetts law. Section 67 of Chapter 156B of the Massachusetts General Laws provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities against amounts paid and expenses incurred in connection with an action or proceeding to which he is or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person shall have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation, provided that, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged not to be entitled to indemnification under Section 67. Article 6A also provides for indemnification of directors and officers of the Registrant against liabilities and expenses in connection with any legal proceedings to which they may be made a party or with which they may become involved or threatened by reason of having been an officer or director of the Registrant or of any other organization at the request of the Registrant. Article 6A generally provides that a director or officer of the Registrant (i) shall be indemnified by the Registrant for all expenses of such legal proceedings unless he has been adjudicated not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interests of the Registrant, and (ii) shall be indemnified by the Registrant for the expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and compromise of such proceedings. No indemnification will be made to cover costs of settlements and compromises if the Board determines by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of disinterested directors (or, if such quorum is not obtainable, by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Registrant), that such settlement or compromise is not in the best interests of the Registrant. Article 6A permits the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action in advance of its final disposition, subject to receipt of an undertaking by the indemnified person to repay such payment if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification under the Articles of Organization. No advance may be made if the Board of Directors determines, by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of disinterested directors (or, if such quorum is not obtainable, by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Registrant), that such person did not act in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interest of the Registrant. II-1
Article 6D of the Registrant's Articles of Organization provides that no director shall be liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of his fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 61 or 62 of Chapter 156B, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Registrant has directors and officers liability insurance for the benefit of its directors and officers. ITEM 16. LIST OF EXHIBITS. 4.1 Indenture dated as of October 2, 2000 by and between Registrant, as Issuer, and State Street Bank and Trust Company, as Trustee, relating to the Registrant's 4.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2005. 4.2 Specimen Note for Registrant's 4.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2005 (included in pages 16 to 29 of the Indenture filed as Exhibit 4.1). 4.3 Registration Rights Agreement dated October 2, 2000 by and between Registrant, Goldman, Sachs & Co., SG Cowen Securities Corporation and Salomon Smith Barney Inc. relating to the Registrant's 4.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2005. 5.1 Opinion of Hale and Dorr LLP. 12.1 Statement of Computation of Ratios of Earnings to Fixed Charges. 23.1 Consent of Hale and Dorr LLP (included in Exhibit 5.1). 23.2 Consent of Ernst & Young LLP. 24.1 Power of Attorney (see page II-4 of this Registration Statement). 25.1 Statement of Eligibility of Trustee on Form T-1. ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post- effective amendment to this Registration Statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"); (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any derivation from the low or high and of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the Registration Statement; and (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement; II-2
provided, however, that paragraphs (i) and (ii) do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions described herein, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. II-3
SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Norwood, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, on this 30th day of October, 2000.

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification to Holders of Securities as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, shall constitute a sufficient notification to such Holders for every purpose hereunder.

Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security is entitled, at his option, at any time on or before the close of business on the business day prior to the date of Maturity, or in case this Security or a portion hereof is called for redemption or the Holder hereof has exercised his right to require the Company to repurchase this Security or such portion hereof, then in respect of this Security until and including, but (unless the Company defaults in making the payment due upon redemption or repurchase, as the case may be) not after, the close of business on the business day prior to the Redemption Date or the Repurchase Date, as the case may be, to convert this Security (or any portion of the principal amount hereof that is an integral multiple of U.S.$1,000, provided that the unconverted portion of such principal amount is U.S.$1,000 or any integral multiple of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof) into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Company at an initial Conversion Rate of 7.7056 shares of Common Stock for each U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Securities (or at the current adjusted Conversion Rate if an adjustment has been made as provided in the Indenture) by surrender of this Security, duly endorsed or assigned to the Company or in blank and, in case such surrender shall be made during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date to the opening of business on such Interest Payment Date (except if this Security or portion thereof has been called for redemption on a Redemption Date occurring during such period and, as a result, the right to convert would terminate in such period), also accompanied by payment in New York Clearing House or other funds acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of this Security then being converted, and also the conversion notice hereon duly executed, to the Company at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, or at such other office or agency of the Company, subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto and subject to the right of the Company to terminate the appointment of any Conversion Agent (as defined below) as may be designated by it for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or at such other offices or agencies as the Company may designate (each a "Conversion Agent"), provided, further, that if this Security or portion hereof has been called for redemption on a Redemption Date occurring during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date to the opening of business on such succeeding Interest Payment Date, and is surrendered for conversion during such period, then the Holder of this Security on such Regular Record Date will be entitled to receive the interest accruing hereon from the Interest Payment Date next preceding the date of such conversion to such succeeding Interest Payment Date and the Holder of this Security who converts this Security or a portion hereof during such period shall not be required to pay such interest upon surrender of this Security for conversion. Subject to the provisions -22-
of the preceding sentence, no cash payment or adjustment is to be made on conversion for interest accrued hereon from the Interest Payment Date next preceding the day of conversion, or for dividends on the Common Stock issued on conversion hereof. The Company shall thereafter deliver to the Holder the fixed number of shares of Common Stock (together with any cash adjustment, as provided in the Indenture) into which this Security is convertible and such delivery will be deemed to satisfy the Company's obligation to pay the principal amount of this Security. No fractions of shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued on conversion, but instead of any fractional interest (calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a share) the Company shall pay a cash adjustment as provided in the Indenture. The Conversion Rate is subject to adjustment as provided in the Indenture. In addition, the Indenture provides that in case of certain consolidations or mergers to which the Company is a party (other than a consolidation or merger that does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of the Common Stock) or the conveyance, transfer, sale or lease of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company, the Indenture shall be amended, without the consent of any Holders of Securities, so that this Security, if then Outstanding, will be convertible thereafter, during the period this Security shall be convertible as specified above, only into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale or lease by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which this Security could have been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale or lease (assuming such holder of Common Stock is not a Constituent Person or an Affiliate of a Constituent Person, failed to exercise any rights of election and received per share the kind and amount received per share by a plurality of Non-electing Shares). No adjustment in the Conversion Rate will be made until such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent of such rate, provided that any adjustment that would otherwise be made will be carried forward and taken into account in the computation of any subsequent adjustment. If this Security is a Registrable Security (as defined in this Indenture), then the Holder of this Security [if this security is a global security, then insert -- (including any Person that has a beneficial interest in this Security)] and the Common Stock of the Company issuable upon conversion hereof is entitled to the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of October 2, 2000, executed by the Company (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed for the benefit of the Holders from time to time of the Registrable Securities that it will, at its expense, (a) within 90 days after the Issue Date file a shelf registration statement (the "Shelf Registration Statement") with the Commission with respect to resales of the Registrable Securities, (b) use all reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission within 180 days after the Issue Date of the Securities, provided, however, that the Company may, upon written notice to all the Holders, postpone having the Shelf Registration Statement declared effective for a reasonable period not to exceed 90 days if the Company possesses material non-public information, the disclosure of which would have a material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, and (c) use all reasonable efforts to maintain such Shelf Registration Statement effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, until the second annual anniversary of the date it is declared effective or such earlier date as is provided in the Registration Rights Agreement (the "Effectiveness Period"). The Company will be permitted to suspend the use of the prospectus which is part of the -23-
Shelf Registration Statement during certain periods of time as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement. If (i) on or prior to 90 days following the Issue Date, a Shelf Registration Statement has not been filed with the Commission, or (ii) on or prior to the 180th day following the Issue Date, such Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective (each, a "Registration Default"), additional interest ("Liquidated Damages") will accrue on this Restricted Security from and including the day following such Registration Default to but excluding the day on which such Registration Default has been cured. Liquidated Damages will be paid semi-annually in arrears, with the first semi-annual payment due on the first Interest Payment Date, as applicable, in respect of the Restricted Securities following the date on which such Liquidated Damages begin to accrue, and will accrue at a rate per annum equal to an additional one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the principal amount of the Restricted Securities to and including the 90th day following such Registration Default and at a rate per annum equal to one-half of one percent (0.50%) thereof from and after the 91st day following such Registration Default. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, in the event that the Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective (or the Holders of Registrable Securities are otherwise prevented or restricted by the Company from effecting sales pursuant thereto) (an "Effective Failure") during the Effectiveness Period for more than 45 days, whether or not consecutive, during any 90-day period or for more than 90 days, whether or not consecutive, during any 12-month period, then the interest rate borne by the Restricted Securities shall increase by an additional one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum from the 46th day of the applicable 90-day period or the 91st day of the applicable 12-month period until the earlier of (A) such time as the Effective Failure is cured or (B) the Effectiveness Period expires. Whenever in this Security there is a reference, in any context, to the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, or in respect of, any Security, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Liquidated Damages payable as described in the preceding paragraph to the extent that, in such context, Liquidated Damages are, were or would be payable in respect of such Security and express mention of the payment of Liquidated Damages (if applicable) in any provisions of this Security shall not be construed as excluding Liquidated Damages in those provisions of this Security where such express mention is not made. [If this Security is a Registrable Security and the Holder of this Security [if this security is a global security, then insert -- (including any Person that has a beneficial interest in this Security)] elects to sell this Security pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement then, by its acceptance hereof, such Holder of this Security agrees to be bound by the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement relating to the Registrable Securities which are the subject of such election.] If a Change in Control occurs, the Holder of this Security, at the Holder's option, shall have the right, in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, to require the Company to repurchase this Security (or any portion of the principal amount hereof that is at least $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, provided that the portion of the principal amount of this Security to be Outstanding after such repurchase is at least equal to U.S.$1,000) for cash at a Repurchase Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus interest accrued to the -24-
Repurchase Date. At the option of the Company, the Repurchase Price may be paid in cash or, subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture, by delivery of shares of Common Stock having a fair market value equal to the Repurchase Price. For purposes of this paragraph, the fair market value of shares of Common Stock shall be determined by the Company and shall be equal to 95% of the average of the Closing Prices Per Share for the five consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding and including the third Trading Day prior to the Repurchase Date. Whenever in this Security there is a reference, in any context, to the principal of any Security as of any time, such reference shall be deemed to include reference to the Repurchase Price payable in respect of such Security to the extent that such Repurchase Price is, was or would be so payable at such time, and express mention of the Repurchase Price in any provision of this Security shall not be construed as excluding the Repurchase Price so payable in those provisions of this Security when such express mention is not made; provided, however, that, for the purposes of the second succeeding paragraph, such reference shall be deemed to include reference to the Repurchase Price only to the extent the Repurchase Price is payable in cash. [The following paragraph shall appear in each Global Security: In the event of a deposit or withdrawal of an interest in this Security, including an exchange, transfer, redemption, repurchase or conversion of this Security in part only, the Trustee, as custodian of the Depositary, shall make an adjustment on its records to reflect such deposit or withdrawal in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.] [The following paragraph shall appear in each Security that is not a Global Security: In the event of redemption, repurchase or conversion of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities for the unredeemed, unrepurchased or unconverted portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof.] The indebtedness evidenced by this Security is, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture, subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt of the Company, and this Security is issued subject to such provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto. Each Holder of this Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Securities, together with accrued interest to the date of declaration, may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Upon payment (i) of the amount of principal so declared due and payable, together with accrued interest to the date of declaration, and (ii) of interest on any overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest, all of the Company's obligations in respect of the payment of the principal of and interest on the Securities shall terminate. -25-
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with either (a) the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, or (b) by the adoption of a resolution, at a meeting of Holders of the Outstanding Securities at which a quorum is present, by the Holders of at least 66-2/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities represented and entitled to vote at such meeting or, if less, by Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of all Outstanding Securities. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued in exchange therefore or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security or such other Security. As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof, premiums if any, or interest (including Liquidated Damages) hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein or for the enforcement of the right to convert this Security as provided in the Indenture. No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including Liquidated Damages) on this Security at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed or to convert this Security as provided in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable on the Security Register upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at such other office or agency of the Company as may be designated by it for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York (which shall initially be an office or agency of the Trustee), or at such other offices or agencies as the Company may designate, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, -26-
of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees by the Registrar. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to recover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. Prior to due presentation of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered, as the owner thereof for all purposes, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. No recourse for the payment of the principal (and premium, if any) or interest on this Security and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in the Indenture or any indenture supplemental thereto or in any Security, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, employee, agent, officer or director or subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released. THE INDENTURE AND THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS. All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. -27-

ARTICLE III THE SECURITIES SECTION 3.1 Title and Terms. --------------- The aggregate principal amount of Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is limited to U.S. $1,200,000,000, except for Securities authenticated and delivered pursuant to Section 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 8.5, 12.2 or 14.3(5) in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities previously authenticated and delivered under this Indenture. The Securities shall be known and designated as the "4.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes due October 1, 2005" of the Company. Their Stated Maturity shall be October 1, 2005 and they shall bear interest on their principal amount from October 2, 2000, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 in each year, commencing April 1, 2001, at the rate of 4.75% per annum until the principal thereof is due and at the rate of 4.75% per annum on any overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on any overdue interest; provided, however, that payments shall only be made on a Business Day as provided in Section 1.12. The principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities shall be payable as provided in the form of Securities set forth in Section 2.2, and the Repurchase Price, whether payable in cash or in shares of Common Stock, shall be payable at such places as are identified in the Company Notice given pursuant to Section 14.3 (any city in which any Paying Agent is located being herein called a "Place of Payment"). The Registrable Securities are entitled to the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement as provided by Section 10.11 and in the form of Security set forth in Section 2.2. The Securities are entitled to the payment of Liquidated Damages as provided by Section 10.11. The Securities shall be redeemable at the option of the Company at any time on or after October 1, 2003, in whole or in part, subject to the conditions and as otherwise provided in Article XI and in the form of Security set forth in Section 2.2. The Securities shall be convertible as provided in Article XII (any city in which any Conversion Agent is located being herein called a "Place of Conversion"). The Securities shall be subordinated in right of payment to Senior Debt of the Company as provided in Article XIII. The Securities shall be subject to repurchase by the Company at the option of the Holders as provided in Article XIV. SECTION 3.2 Denominations -32-
The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of U.S.$1,000 and integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof. SECTION 3.3 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating The Securities shall ---------------------------------------------- be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, its President, its Chief Operating Officer or one of its Vice Presidents, with or without a corporate seal reproduced thereon, and attested by its Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. Any such signature may be manual or facsimile. Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities executed by the Company to the Trustee or to its order for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and make available for delivery such Securities as in this Indenture provided. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized signatory, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. SECTION 3.4 Global Securities; Non-global Securities; Book-entry Provisions. --------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Global Securities (i) Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated by the Company for such Global Security 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) Except for exchanges of Global Securities for definitive, Non-global Securities at the sole discretion of the Company, 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 for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depositary (i) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered as such under the Exchange Act or announces an intention permanently to cease business or does in fact do so or (B) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with -33-
respect to such Global Security. In case of an event under clause (A) of the preceding sentence, if a successor Depositary for such Global Security is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers' Certificate directing the authentication and delivery of Securities, will authenticate and deliver, Securities, in any authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security in exchange for such Global Security. (iii) If any Global Security is to be exchanged for other Securities or canceled in whole, it shall be surrendered by or on behalf of the Depositary or its nominee to the Trustee, as Security Registrar, for exchange or cancellation, as provided in this Article III. If any Global Security is to be exchanged for other Securities or canceled in part, or if another Security is to be exchanged in whole or in part for a beneficial interest in any Global Security, in each case, as provided in Section 3.5, then either (A) such Global Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation, as provided in this Article III, or (B) the principal amount thereof shall be reduced or increased by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged or canceled, or equal to the principal amount of such other Security to be so exchanged for a beneficial interest therein, as the case may be, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee, as Security Registrar, whereupon the Trustee, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, shall instruct the Depositary or its authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon any such surrender or adjustment of a Global Security, the Trustee shall, subject to Section 3.5(3) and as otherwise provided in this Article III, authenticate and deliver any Securities issuable in exchange for such Global Security (or any portion thereof) to or upon the order of, and registered in such names as may be directed by, the Depositary or its authorized representative. Upon the request of the Trustee in connection with the occurrence of any of the events specified in the preceding paragraph, the Company shall promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Securities that are not in the form of Global Securities. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon any order, direction or request of the Depositary or its authorized representative which is given or made pursuant to this Article III if such order, direction or request is given or made in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. (iv) Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Article III or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a registered Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof, in which case such Security shall be authenticated and delivered in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons. (v) The Depositary or its nominee, as registered owner of a Global Security, shall be the Holder of such Global Security for all purposes under the Indenture and the Securities, and owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. Accordingly, any such owner's beneficial interest in a Global Security will be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be effected only through, records maintained -34-
by the Depositary or its nominee or its Agent Members and such owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security will not be considered the owners or holders thereof. (2) Non-global Securities. Securities issued upon the events described in Section 3.4(l)(ii) shall be in definitive, fully registered form, without interest coupons, and shall bear the Restricted Securities Legend if and as required by this Indenture. SECTION 3.5 Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange; Restrictions on -------------------------------------------------------------------- Transfer. - -------- (1) The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office referred to as the "Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed "Security Registrar" for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers and exchanges of Securities as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at an office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 10.2 for such purpose, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture. At the option of the Holder, and subject to the other provisions of this Section 3.5, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, and subject to the other provisions of this Section 3.5, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Security Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities except as provided in Section 3.6, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.4, 8.5, 12.2 or 14.3 (other than where the shares of Common Stock are to be issued or delivered in a name other than that of the Holder of the Security) not involving any transfer and other than any stamp and other duties, if any, which may be imposed in connection with any such transfer or exchange by the United States or any political subdivision thereof or therein, which shall be paid by the Company. -35-
In the event of a redemption of the Securities, neither the Company nor the Securities Registrar will be required (a) to register the transfer of or exchange Securities for a period of 15 days immediately preceding the date notice is given identifying the serial numbers of the Securities called for such redemption or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security, or portion thereof, called for redemption. (2) Certain Transfers and Exchanges. Notwithstanding any other provision of ------------------------------- this Indenture or the Securities, transfers and exchanges of Securities and beneficial interests in a Global Security of the kinds specified in this Section 3.5(2) shall be made only in accordance with this Section 3.5(2). (i) Restricted Global Security to Restricted Non-global Security. In ------------------------------------------------------------ the event that Non-global Securities are to be issued pursuant to Section 3.4(1)(ii) in connection with any transfer of Securities, such transfer may be effected only in accordance with the provisions of this Clause (2)(i) and subject to the Applicable Procedures. Upon receipt by the Trustee, as Security Registrar, of (A) a Company Order from the Company directing the Trustee, as Security Registrar, to (x) authenticate and deliver one or more Securities of the same aggregate principal amount as the beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security to be transferred, such instructions to contain the name or names of the designated transferee or transferees, the authorized denomination or denominations of the Securities to be so issued and appropriate delivery instructions and (y) decrease the beneficial interest of a specified Agent Member's account in a Restricted Global Security by a specified principal amount not greater than the principal amount of such Restricted Global Security, and (B) such other certifications, legal opinions or other information as the Company or the Trustee may reasonably require to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, then the Trustee, as Security Registrar, shall decrease the principal amount of the Restricted Global Security by the specified amount and authenticate and deliver Securities in accordance with such instructions from the Company as provided in Section 3.4(1)(iii). (ii) Restricted Non-global Security to Restricted Global Security. If ------------------------------------------------------------ the Holder of a Restricted Security (other than a Global Security) wishes at any time to transfer all or any portion of such Restricted Security to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security, such transfer may be effected only in accordance with the provisions of this Clause (2)(ii) and subject to the Applicable Procedures. Upon receipt by the Trustee, as Security Registrar, of (A) such Restricted Security as provided in Section 3.5(1) and instructions from the Company directing that a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security in a specified principal amount not greater than the principal amount of such Security be credited to a specified Agent Member's account and (B) a Restricted Securities Certificate, satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by such Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing, then the Trustee, as Security Registrar, shall cancel such Restricted Security (and issue a new Restricted Security in respect of any untransferred portion thereof) as provided in Section 3.5(1) and increase the principal amount of the Restricted Global Security by the specified principal amount as provided in Section 3.4(1)(iii). -36-
(iii) Exchanges Between Global Security and Non-global Security. A --------------------------------------------------------- beneficial interest in a Global Security may be exchanged for a Security that is not a Global Security only as provided in Section 3.4 or only if such exchange occurs in connection with a transfer effected in accordance with Clause 2(i) above, provided that, if such interest is a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security, then such interest shall be exchanged for a Restricted Security (subject in each case to Section 3.5(3)). A Security that is not a Global Security may be exchanged for a beneficial interest in a Global Security only if such exchange occurs in connection with a transfer effected in accordance with Clause (2)(ii) above. (3) Securities Act Legends. All Securities issued pursuant to this ---------------------- Indenture, and all Successor Securities, shall bear the Restricted Securities Legend, subject to the following: (i) subject to the following Clauses of this Section 3.5(3), a Security or any portion thereof which is exchanged, upon transfer or otherwise, for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall bear the Restricted Securities Legend borne by such Global Security for which the Security was exchanged; (ii) subject to the following Clauses of this Section 3.5(3), a new Security which is not a Global Security and is issued in exchange for another Security (including a Global Security) or any portion thereof, upon transfer or otherwise, shall bear the Restricted Securities Legend borne by the Security for which the new Security was exchanged; (iii) any Securities which are sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act (including the Shelf Registration Statement), together with their Successor Securities shall not bear a Restricted Securities Legend; the Company shall inform the Trustee in writing of the effective date of any such registration statement registering the Securities under the Securities Act and shall notify the Trustee at any time when prospectuses must be delivered with respect to Securities to be sold pursuant to such registration statement. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the aforementioned registration statement; (iv) at any time after the Securities may be freely transferred without registration under the Securities Act or without being subject to transfer restrictions pursuant to the Securities Act, a new Security which does not bear a Restricted Securities Legend may be issued in exchange for or in lieu of a Security (other than a Global Security) or any portion thereof which bears such a legend if the Trustee has received an Unrestricted Securities Certificate, satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by the Holder of such Security bearing a Restricted Securities Legend or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and after such date and receipt of such certificate, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such new Security in exchange for or in lieu of such other Security as provided in this Article III; (v) a new Security which does not bear a Restricted Securities Legend may be issued in exchange for or in lieu of a Security or any portion thereof which bears such a legend if, in the Company's judgment, placing such a legend upon such new Security is not necessary to ensure compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and the Trustee, at the direction -37-
of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver such a new Security as provided in this Article III; and (vi) notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.5(3), a Successor Security of a Security that does not bear a Restricted Securities Legend shall not bear such legend unless the Company has reasonable cause to believe that such Successor Security is a "restricted security" within the meaning of Rule 144, in which case the Trustee, at the direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver a new Security bearing a Restricted Securities Legend in exchange for such Successor Security as provided in this Article III. (4) Any stock certificate representing shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Securities shall bear the Restricted Securities Legend borne by such Securities, to the extent required by this Indenture, unless such shares of Common Stock have been sold pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act (and which continues to be effective at the time of such transfer) or sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act, or unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing with written notice thereof to the transfer agent for the Common Stock. With respect to the transfer of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Securities that are restricted hereunder, any deliveries of certificates, legal opinions or other instruments that would be required to be made to the Security Registrar in the case of a transfer of Securities, as described above, shall instead be made to the transfer agent for the Common Stock. (5) Neither the Trustee, the Paying Agent nor any of their agents shall (i) have any duty to monitor compliance with or with respect to any federal or state or other securities or tax laws or (ii) have any duty to obtain documentation on any transfers or exchanges other than as specifically required hereunder. SECTION 3.6 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities. ----------------------------------------------- If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. If there shall be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee: (1) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and (2) such security or indemnity as may be satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of actual notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. -38-
In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion, but subject to any conversion rights, may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the preceding paragraph. Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 3.6, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto (other than any stamp and other duties, if any, which may be imposed in connection therewith by the United States or any political subdivision thereof or therein, which shall be paid by the Company) and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section 3.6 in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and such new Security shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder. The provisions of this Section 3.6 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies of any Holder with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. SECTION 3.7 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. ---------------------------------------------- Interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. Any interest on any Security which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below: (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security, the date of the proposed payment and the Special Record Date, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. The Special Record Date for the payment of such -39-
Defaulted Interest shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee, 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 such Holder's address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their 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). (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 3.5, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. Interest on any Security which is converted in accordance with Section 12.2 during a Record Date Period shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.2. SECTION 3.8 Persons Deemed Owners. --------------------- Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent and any agent of the Company, the Trustee or any Paying Agent may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 3.7) interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent nor any agent of the Company, the Trustee or any Paying Agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. SECTION 3.9 Cancellation. ------------ All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, repurchase, registration of transfer or exchange or conversion, shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee. All Securities so delivered to the Trustee shall be canceled promptly by the Trustee (or its agent). No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section 3.9. The Trustee shall dispose of all canceled Securities in accordance with applicable law and its customary practices in effect from time to time. SECTION 3.10 Computation of Interest. ----------------------- -40-
Interest on the Securities (including any Liquidated Damages) shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. SECTION 3.11 CUSIP Numbers. ------------- The Company in issuing Securities may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then generally in use) in addition to serial numbers; if so, the Trustee shall use such CUSIP numbers in addition to serial numbers in notices of redemption and repurchase as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such CUSIP numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption or repurchase and that reliance may be placed only on the serial or 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 CUSIP numbers. ARTICLE IV SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE SECTION 4.1 Satisfaction And Discharge of Indenture. --------------------------------------- This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of conversion, or registration of transfer or exchange, or replacement of Securities herein expressly provided for and any right to receive Liquidated Damages as provided in Section 10.11 and in the form of Securities set forth in Section 2.2 and the Company's obligations to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.7), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when (1) either (i) all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (A) Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.6 and (B) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 10.3) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or (ii) all such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee or its agent for cancellation (other than Securities referred to in clauses (A) and (B) of clause (1)(i) above) (a) have become due and payable, or (b) will have become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or -41-

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 6.7, the obligations of the Company to any Authenticating Agent under Section 6.12, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 4.2 and the last paragraph of Section 10.3 and the obligations of the Company and the Trustee under Section 3.5 and Article XII shall survive. Funds held in trust pursuant to this Section are not subject to the provisions of Article XIII. SECTION 4.2 Application of Trust Money. -------------------------- Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1 and in accordance with the provisions of Article XIII shall be held in trust for the sole benefit of the Holders and not be subject to the subordination provisions of Article XIII, and such monies shall be applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, if any, and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee. All moneys deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1 (and held by it or any Paying Agent) for the payment of Securities subsequently converted shall be returned to the Company upon Company Request. The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed or assessed against all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1 (other than income taxes and franchise taxes incurred or payable by the Trustee and such other taxes, fees or charges incurred or payable by the Trustee that are not directly the result of the deposit of such money with the Trustee). -42-

SECTION 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. -------------------------------------------------- If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(6) or 5.1(7) with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may, subject to the provisions of Article XIII, declare the principal of all the Securities to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount and all accrued interest thereon shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(6) or 5.1(7) with respect to the Company occurs, the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, all the Securities shall, subject to the provisions of Article XIII, ipso facto become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other Act of the Holders or any act on the part of the Trustee.

No rescission or annulment referred to above shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. SECTION 5.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. --------------------------------------------------------------- If the Company fails to pay all amounts declared due and payable under Section 5.2 forthwith upon demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities, wherever situated. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. SECTION 5.4 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. -------------------------------- -45-

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a Security any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of a Security in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of such Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors' or other similar committee.

The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. SECTION 5.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. ---------------------------- No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or any acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or (subject to the limitations contained in this Indenture) by the Holders of Securities as the case may be.

SECTION 5.13 Waiver of Past Defaults. ----------------------- The Holders, either (i) through the written consent of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities or (ii) by the adoption of a resolution, at a meeting of Holders of the Outstanding Securities at which a quorum is present, by the Holders of at least 66-2/3% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities represented at such meeting, may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except a default (A) in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest (including Liquidated Damages) on any Security which has not been cured, or (B) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article VIII 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; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. SECTION 5.14 Undertaking for Costs. --------------------- All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.14 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, or to any suit instituted by any Holder of any Security for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security on or after the respective Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption or repurchase, on or after the Redemption Date or Repurchase Date, as -49-
the case may be) or for the enforcement of the right to convert any Security in accordance with Article XII. SECTION 5.15 Waiver of Stay, Usury or Extension Laws. --------------------------------------- The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, usury or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede by reason of such law 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. ARTICLE VI THE TRUSTEE SECTION 6.1 Certain Duties and Responsibilities. ----------------------------------- (1) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture, but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture, but not to verify the contents thereof. (2) In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. (3) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that (i) this paragraph (3) shall not be construed to limit the effect of paragraph (1) of this Section; -50-
(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture; and (iv) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. (4) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

For the purpose of this Section, the term "default" means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default. SECTION 6.3 Certain Rights of Trustee. ------------------------- Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1: (1) the Trustee may rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting, upon any resolution, Officers' Certificate, other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document (collectively, the "Documents") believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, and the Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in such Documents; -51-

(5) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee and shall comply with the applicable requirements of this Section and Section 6.10.

Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities. SECTION 6.12 Authenticating Agents. --------------------- The Trustee may, with the consent of the Company, appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents acceptable to the Company with respect to the Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities issued upon original issue and upon registration of transfer or redemption, exchange or substitution pursuant to this Indenture. Securities authenticated by an Authenticating Agent shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder, and every reference in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent.

If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.12, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 6.12. Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section 6.12, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent. An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.12, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be subject to acceptance by the Company. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 6.12. -56-

The Company will deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon becoming aware of any default or any Event of Default under the Indenture, an Officers' Certificate specifying with particularity such default or Event of Default and further stating what action the Company has taken, is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

SECTION 10.9 Delivery of Certain Information. ------------------------------- At any time when the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, upon the request of a Holder of a Restricted Security or the holder of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof, the Company will promptly furnish or cause to be furnished Rule 144A Information (as defined below) to such Holder of Restricted Securities or such holder of shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Restricted Securities, or to a prospective purchaser of any such security designated by any such Holder or holder, as the case may be, to the extent required to permit compliance by such Holder or holder with Rule 144A under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto) in connection with the resale of any such security; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to furnish such information in connection with any request made on or after the date which is two years from the later of (i) the date such a security (or any such predecessor security) was last acquired from the Company or (ii) the date such a security (or any such predecessor security) was last acquired from an "affiliate" of the Company within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto). "Rule 144A Information" shall be such information as is specified pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto). SECTION 10.10 Resale of Certain Securities. ---------------------------- During the period beginning on the last date of original issuance of the Securities and ending on the date that is two years from such date (or such shortened period under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or any successor rule), the Company will not, and will not permit any of its subsidiaries or other "affiliates" (as defined under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any successor provision thereto) to, resell (i) any Securities which constitute "restricted securities" under Rule 144 or (ii) any securities into which the Securities have been converted under this Indenture which constitute "restricted securities" under Rule 144, that in either case have been reacquired by any of them. The Trustee shall have no responsibility in respect of the Company's performance of its agreement in the preceding sentence. SECTION 10.11 Registration Rights. ------------------- The Company agrees that the Holders from time to time of Registrable Securities (as defined below) are entitled to the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of October 2, 2000 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), executed by the Company. The provisions of Section 7 of the Registration Rights Agreement are incorporated herein by reference. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, or in respect of, any Security, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of "Liquidated Damages" (which is defined herein as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) provided for in this Section to the extent that, in such context, Liquidated Damages are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section and express mention of the payment of Liquidated Damages (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding Liquidated Damages in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. -68-
If a Security, or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Security, is a Registrable Security (which is defined herein as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), and the Holder thereof elects to sell such Registrable Security pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement then, by its acceptance thereof, the Holder of such Registrable Security will have agreed to be bound by the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement relating to the Registrable Securities which are the subject of such election. For the purposes of the Registration Rights Agreement, the term "Holder" includes any Person that has a beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Security or any beneficial interest in a global security representing shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Security. If Liquidated Damages are payable under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate to that effect stating (i) the amount of Liquidated Damages that is payable and (ii) the date on which Liquidated Damages 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 Liquidated Damages are payable. If Liquidated Damages have 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 provisions of this Section 10.11 shall survive any conversion of Securities into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 12 hereof, and may be enforced by the holder of Common Stock issued upon conversion of this Note. SECTION 10.12 Waiver of Certain Covenants. --------------------------- The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant or condition set forth in Sections 10.4 (other than with respect to the existence of the Company (subject to Article VII)), 10.5 and 10. 6, inclusive (other than a covenant or condition which under Article VIII cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected), if before the time for such compliance the Holders shall, through the written consent of, or the adoption of a resolution at a meeting of Holders of the Outstanding Securities at which a quorum is present by, not less than the lesser of (x) a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities and (y) 66% of the principal amount of Securities represented at the meeting, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee or any Paying or Conversion Agent in respect of any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of any of the Securities, the Company shall, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee in writing of such Redemption Date. SECTION 11.4 Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed. ------------------------------------------------- If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee within five Business Days after it receives the notice described in 11.3, from the Outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee may deem fair and appropriate. If any Security selected for partial redemption is converted in part before termination of the conversion right with respect to the portion of the Security so selected, the converted portion of such Security shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption. Securities which have been converted during a selection of Securities to be redeemed may be treated by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of such selection. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and each Security Registrar in writing of the securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed. SECTION 11.5 Notice of Redemption. -------------------- Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 1.6 to the Holders of Securities to be redeemed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, and such notice shall be irrevocable. All notices of redemption shall state: -70-
(1) the Redemption Date, (2) the Redemption Price, and accrued interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any), if any, to the Redemption Date, (3) if less than all Outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Securities which will be outstanding after such partial redemption, (4) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price, and accrued interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any), if any, to the Redemption Date, will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed, and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date, (5) the Conversion Rate, the date on which the right to convert the Securities to be redeemed will terminate and the places where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion, and (6) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any), if any, to the Redemption Date. In case of a partial redemption, the notice shall specify the serial and CUSIP numbers (if any) and the portions thereof called for redemption and that transfers and exchanges may occur on or prior to the Redemption Date. Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company's written request, by the Trustee in the name of and at the expense of the Company. Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company received by the Trustee shall be given by the Trustee to each Paying Agent in the name of and at the expense of the Company. SECTION 11.6 Deposit of Redemption Price. --------------------------- On or prior to the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.3) an amount of money (which shall be in immediately available funds on such Redemption Date) sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any) to the Redemption Date on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date other than any Securities called for redemption on that date which have been converted prior to the date of such deposit. If any Security called for redemption is converted, any money deposited with the Trustee or so segregated and held in trust for the redemption of such Security shall (subject to any right of the Holder of such Security or any Predecessor Security to receive interest as provided in the last -71-
paragraph of Section 3.7) be paid to the Company on Company Request or, if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from such trust. SECTION 11.7 Securities Payable on Redemption Date. ------------------------------------- Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price, including accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any Security for redemption in accordance with said notice such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price together with accrued and unpaid interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any) to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest on Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such on the relevant Record Date according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.7. If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal amount of, premium, if any, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, accrued interest on such Security shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at a rate of 4.75% per annum and such Security shall remain convertible until the Redemption Price of such Security (or portion thereof, as the case may be) shall have been paid or duly provided for. Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the Corporate Trust Office or an office or agency of the Company designated for that purpose pursuant to Section 10.2 (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. SECTION 11.8 Conversion Arrangement on Call for Redemption. --------------------------------------------- In connection with any redemption of Securities, the Company may arrange for the purchase and conversion of any Securities by an agreement with one or more investment bankers or other purchasers (the "Purchasers") to purchase such securities by paying to the Trustee in trust for the Holders, on or before the Redemption Date, an amount not less than the applicable Redemption Price, together with interest accrued to the Redemption Date, of such Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article XI, the obligation of the Company to pay the Redemption Price, together with interest accrued to the Redemption Date, shall be deemed to be satisfied and discharged to the extent such amount is so paid by such Purchasers. If such an agreement is entered into (a copy of which shall be filed with the Trustee prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the Redemption Date), any Securities called for redemption that are not duly surrendered for conversion by the Holders thereof may, at the option of -72-
the Company, be deemed, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and consistent with any agreement or agreements with such Purchasers, to be acquired by such Purchasers from such Holders and (notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article XII) surrendered by such Purchasers for conversion, all as of immediately prior to the close of business on the Redemption Date (and the right to convert any such Securities shall be extended through such time), subject to payment of the above amount as aforesaid. At the direction of the Company, the Trustee shall hold and dispose of any such amount paid to it by the Purchasers to the Holders in the same manner as it would monies deposited with it by the Company for the redemption of Securities. Without the Trustee's prior written consent, no arrangement between the Company and such Purchasers for the purchase and conversion of any Securities shall increase or otherwise affect any of the powers, duties, responsibilities or obligations of the Trustee as set forth in this Indenture, and the Company agrees to indemnify the Trustee from, and hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense arising out of or in connection with any such arrangement for the purchase and conversion of any Securities between the Company and such Purchasers, including the costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, incurred by the Trustee in the defense of any claim or liability arising out of or in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers, duties, responsibilities or obligations under this Indenture. ARTICLE XII CONVERSION OF SECURITIES SECTION 12.1 Conversion Privilege and Conversion Rate. ----------------------------------------- Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article, at the option of the Holder thereof, any Security may be converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share) of Common Stock of the Company at the Conversion Rate, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of conversion. Such conversion right shall commence on the initial issuance date of the Securities and expire at the close of business on the Business Day prior to the date of Maturity of the Securities, subject, in the case of conversion of any Global Security, to any Applicable Procedures. In case a Security or portion thereof is called for redemption at the election of the Company or the Holder thereof exercises his right to require the Company to repurchase the Security, such conversion right in respect of the Security, or portion thereof so called, shall expire at the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Redemption Date or the Repurchase Date, as the case may be, unless the Company defaults in making the payment due upon redemption or repurchase, as the case may be (in each case subject as aforesaid to any Applicable Procedures with respect to any Global Security). The rate at which shares of Common Stock shall be delivered upon conversion (herein called the "Conversion Rate") shall be initially 7.7056 shares of Common Stock for each U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Securities. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in certain instances as provided in this Article XII. SECTION 12.2 Exercise of Conversion Privilege. -------------------------------- -73-
In order to exercise the conversion privilege, the Holder of any Security to be converted shall surrender such Security, duly endorsed in blank, at any office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose pursuant to Section 10.2, accompanied by a duly signed conversion notice substantially in the form set forth in Section 2.4 stating that the Holder elects to convert such Security or, if less than the entire principal amount thereof is to be converted, the portion thereof to be converted. Each Security surrendered for conversion (in whole or in part) during the Record Date Period shall (except in the case of any Security or portion thereof which has been called for redemption on a Redemption Date, occurring, within such Record Date Period and, as a result, the right to convert would terminate in such period) be accompanied by payment in New York Clearing House funds or other funds acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of such Security (or part thereof, as the case may be) being surrendered for conversion. The interest so payable on such Interest Payment Date with respect to any Security (or portion thereof, if applicable) which is surrendered for conversion during the Record Date Period shall be paid to the Holder of such Security as of such Regular Record Date in an amount equal to the interest that would have been payable on such Security if such Security had been converted as of the close of business on such Interest Payment Date. Except as provided in this paragraph and subject to the last paragraph of Section 3.7, no cash payment or adjustment shall be made upon any conversion on account of any interest accrued from the Interest Payment Date next preceding the conversion date, in respect of any Security (or part thereof, as the case may be) surrendered for conversion, or on account of any dividends on the Common Stock issued upon conversion. The Company's delivery to the Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock (and cash in lieu of fractions thereof, as provided in this Indenture) into which a Security is convertible will be deemed to satisfy the Company's obligation to pay the principal amount of the Security. Securities shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the day of surrender of such Securities for conversion in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and at such time the rights of the Holders of such Securities as Holders shall cease, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock at such time. As promptly as practicable on or after the conversion date, the Company shall issue and deliver to the Trustee, for delivery to the Holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion, together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 12.3. All shares of Common Stock delivered upon such conversion of Restricted Securities shall bear restrictive legends substantially in the form of the legends required to be set forth on the Restricted Securities pursuant to Section 3.5 and shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer provided in such legends. Neither the Trustee nor any agent maintained for the purpose of such conversion shall have any responsibility for the inclusion or content of any such restrictive legends on such Common Stock; provided, however, that the Trustee or any agent maintained for the purpose of such conversion shall have provided, to the Company or to the Company's transfer agent for such Common Stock, prior to or concurrently with a request to the Company to deliver such Common Stock, written notice that the Securities delivered for conversion are Restricted Securities. -74-
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, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to 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 Security to be converted is any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 and the principal amount of such security to remain Outstanding after such conversion is equal to U.S. $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. If shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of a Restricted Security, or Securities to be issued upon conversion of a Restricted Security in part only, are to be registered in a name other than that of the beneficial owner of such Restricted Security, then such Holder must deliver to the Conversion Agent a Surrender Certificate, dated the date of surrender of such Restricted Security and signed by such beneficial owner, as to compliance with the restrictions on transfer applicable to such Restricted Security. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent, Registrar or Transfer Agent shall be required to register in a name other than that of the beneficial owner, shares of Common Stock or Securities issued upon conversion of any such Restricted Security not so accompanied by a properly completed Surrender Certificate. SECTION 12.3 Fractions of 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 issuable 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 issuable upon conversion of any Security or Securities (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall calculate and pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction (calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a share) in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Closing Price Per Share at the close of business on the day of conversion. SECTION 12.4 Adjustment of Conversion Rate. ------------------------------ The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustments from time to time as follows: (1) In case the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on shares of any class of capital stock payable in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be increased by dividing such Conversion Rate by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such increase to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. If, after any such date fixed for determination, any dividend or distribution is not in fact paid, the Conversion Rate shall be -75-
immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would have been in effect if such determination date had not been fixed. For the purposes of this paragraph (1), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company. (2) In case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section 12.4) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants (other than any rights, options or warrants that by their terms will also be issued to any Holder upon conversion of a Security into shares of Common Stock without any action required by the Company or any other Person), the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination shall be increased by dividing such Conversion Rate by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase, such increase to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. If, after any such date fixed for determination, any such rights, options or warrants are not in fact issued, or are not exercised prior to the expiration thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date such rights, options or warrants expire, or the date the Board of Directors determines not to issue such rights, options or warrants, to the Conversion Rate that would have been in effect if the unexercised rights, options or warrants had never been granted or such determination date had not been fixed, as the case may be. For the purposes of this paragraph (2), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not issue any rights, options or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company. (3) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, such increase or reduction, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective. -76-
(4) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness, shares of any class of capital stock or other property (including cash or assets or securities, but excluding (i) any rights, options or warrants referred to in paragraph (2) of this Section and any other rights, options or warrants that by their terms will also be issued to any Holder upon conversion of a Security into shares of Common Stock without any action required by the Company or any other Person, (ii) any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash, (iii) any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (1) of this Section and (iv) mergers or consolidations to which Section 12.11 applies), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by dividing the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section 12.4) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) of the portion of the assets, shares or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. If after any such date fixed for determination, any such distribution is not in fact made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date of the Board of Directors determines not to make such distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would have been in effect if such determination date had not been fixed. (5) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution referred to in paragraph (4) of this Section or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 12.11 applies) in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (I) the aggregate amount of any other all-cash distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 365-day period preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (5) has been made and (II) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the 365-day period preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (6) of this Section 12.4 has been made (the "combined cash and tender amount") exceeds 12.5% of the product of the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section 12.4) of the Common Stock on the date for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date (the "aggregate current market price"), then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date for determination, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by dividing the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph -77-
(8) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined cash and tender amount over such aggregate current market price divided by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date for determination and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section 12.4) of the Common Stock on such date fixed for determination. (6) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) that combined together with (I) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), as of the expiration of such tender offer, of consideration payable in respect of any other tender offer by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the 365-day period preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (6) has been made and (II) the aggregate amount of any cash distributions to all holders of the Common Stock within 365-day period preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (5) of this Section has been made (the "combined tender and cash amount") exceeds 15% of the product of the current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section 12.4) as of the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be amended) times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) as of the Expiration Time, then, and in each such case immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the Expiration Time, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by dividing the Conversion Rate immediately prior to close of business on the date of the Expiration Time by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to (A) the product of (I) the current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section 12.4) on the date of the Expiration Time multiplied by (II) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time less (B) the combined tender and cash amount, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the product of (A) the current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section 12.4) as of the Expiration Time multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) as of the Expiration Time less the number of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares"). (7) The reclassification of Common Stock into securities other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon a consolidation or merger to which Section 12.11 applies) shall be deemed to involve (a) a distribution of such securities other than Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution" and "the date fixed for -78-
such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (4) of this Section), and (b) a subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective" or "the day upon which such combination becomes effective", as the case may be, and "the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective" within the meaning of paragraph (3) of this Section 12.4). (8) For the purpose of any computation under paragraphs (2), (4), (5) or (6) of this Section 12.4, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be calculated by the Company and be the average of the daily Closing Prices Per Share for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 10 Trading Days before, and ending not later than the earlier of the day in question and the day before the "ex" date with respect to the issuance or distribution requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "'ex' date", when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades the regular way in the applicable securities market or on the applicable securities exchange without the right to receive such issuance or distribution. (9) No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required unless such adjustment (plus any adjustments not previously made by reason of this paragraph (9)) would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent in such rate; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph (9) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be. (10) The Company may make such increases in the Conversion Rate, for the remaining term of the Securities or any shorter term, in addition to those required by paragraphs (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6) of this Section 12.4, as it considers to be advisable in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to any holders of shares of Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock or issuance of rights or warrants to purchase or subscribe for stock or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes. The Company shall have the power to resolve any ambiguity or correct any error in this paragraph (10) and its actions in so doing shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive. (11) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, no adjustment of the Conversion Rate shall be required to be made (a) upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan for the reinvestment of dividends or (b) because of a tender or exchange offer of the character described in Rule 13e-4(h)(5) under the Exchange Act or any successor rule thereto. (12) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least twenty (20) days, the increase is irrevocable during such period, and the Board of Directors shall have made a determination that such increase would be in the best interests of the Company, which determination shall be conclusive; provided, however, that no such increase shall be taken into -79-
account for purposes of determining whether the Closing Price Per Share of the Common Stock equals or exceeds 105% of the Conversion Price in connection with an event which would otherwise be a Change of Control pursuant to Section 14.4. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall give notice of the increase to the Holders in the manner provided in Section 1.6 at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect. SECTION 12.5 Notice of Adjustments of Conversion Rate. ----------------------------------------- Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided: (1) the Company shall compute the adjusted Conversion Rate in accordance with Section 12.4 and shall prepare a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, and such certificate shall promptly be filed with the Trustee and with each Conversion Agent; and (2) upon each such adjustment, a notice stating that the Conversion Rate has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate shall be required, and as soon as practicable after it is required, such notice shall be provided by the Company to all Holders in accordance with Section 1.6. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any duty or responsibility with respect to any such certificate or the information and calculations contained therein, except to exhibit the same to any Holder of Securities desiring inspection thereof at its office during normal business hours, and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment in the Conversion Rate unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such a certificate. Until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives such a certificate, the Trustee and each Conversion Agent may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of which the Trustee has knowledge of remains in effect. SECTION 12.6 Notice of Certain Corporate Action. ----------------------------------- In case: (1) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock payable (i) otherwise than exclusively in cash or (ii) exclusively in cash in an amount that would require any adjustment pursuant to Section 12.4; or (2) the Company shall authorize the granting to all or substantially all of the holders of its Common Stock of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any other rights; or -80-
(3) of any reclassification of the Common Stock, or of any consolidation, merger or share exchange to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or of the conveyance, sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (4) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; then the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of Securities pursuant to Section 10.2, and shall cause to be provided to all Holders in accordance with Section 1.6, at least 20 days (or 10 days in any case specified in clause (1) or (2) above) prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights, options or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, rights, options or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale, lease, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale, lease, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Neither the failure to give such notice or the notice referred to in the following paragraph nor any defect therein shall affect the legality or validity of the proceedings described in clauses (1) through (4) of this Section 12.6. If at the time the Trustee shall not be the conversion agent, a copy of such notice shall also forthwith be filed by the Company with the Trustee. The Company shall cause to be filed at the Corporate Trust Office and each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of Securities pursuant to Section 10.2, and shall cause to be provided to all Holders in accordance with Section 1.6, notice of any tender offer by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock at or about the time that such notice of tender offer is provided to the public generally. SECTION 12.7 Company to Reserve Common Stock. -------------------------------- The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of Securities, the full number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon the conversion of all Outstanding Securities. SECTION 12.8 Taxes on Conversions. --------------------- Except as provided in the next sentence, the Company will pay any and all taxes and duties that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of Securities pursuant hereto. The Company shall not, however, 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 and until the Person requesting such issue has -81-
paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or duty, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax or duty has been paid. SECTION 12.9 Covenant as to Common Stock. ---------------------------- The Company agrees that all shares of Common Stock which may be delivered upon conversion of Securities, upon such delivery, will have been duly authorized and validly issued and will be fully paid and nonassessable and, except as provided in Section 12.8, the Company will pay all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof. SECTION 12.10 Cancellation of Converted Securities. ------------------------------------- All Securities delivered for conversion shall be delivered to the Trustee or its agent to be canceled by or at the direction of the Trustee, which shall dispose of the same as provided in Section 3.9. SECTION 12.11 Provision in Case of Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets. ------------------------------------------------------------ In case of any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person, any merger of another Person with or into the Company (other than a merger which does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company) or any conveyance, sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or which acquires such assets, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture providing that the Holder of each Security then Outstanding shall have the right thereafter, during the period such Security shall be convertible as specified in Section 12.1, to convert such Security only into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which such Security might have been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease, assuming such holder of Common Stock of the Company (i) is not (A) a Person with which the Company consolidated or merged with or into or which merged into or with the Company or to which such conveyance, sale, transfer or lease was made, as the case may be (a "Constituent Person"), or (B) an Affiliate of a Constituent Person and (ii) failed to exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease (provided that if the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer, or lease is not the same for each share of Common Stock of the Company held immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease by others than a Constituent Person or an Affiliate thereof and in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised ("Non-electing Share"), then for the purpose of this Section 12.11 the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease by the holders of each Non-electing Share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the Non-electing Shares). Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which, for events subsequent to the effective date of such supplemental indenture, shall be as nearly -82-
equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article. The above provisions of this Section 12.11 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, conveyances, sales, transfers or leases. Notice of the execution of such a supplemental indenture shall be given by the Company to the Holder of each Security as provided in Section 1.6 promptly upon such execution. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any such supplemental indenture relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or other securities or property or cash receivable by Holders of Securities upon the conversion of their Securities after any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale or lease or to any such adjustment, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel with respect thereto, which the Company shall cause to be furnished to the Trustee upon request. SECTION 12.12 Rights Issued in Respect of Common Stock. ---------------------------------------- Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company's capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events ("Trigger Event"): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock, (ii) are not exercisable, and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock shall not be deemed distributed for purposes of Sections 12.4(2) and 12.4(4) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. In addition, in the event of any distribution of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event with respect thereto, that shall have resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under Section 12.4(2), (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of any such rights or warrants all of which shall have expired without exercise by any holder thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted as if such issuance had not occurred. SECTION 12.13 Responsibility of Trustee for Conversion Provisions. ---------------------------------------------------- The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, and any Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Securities to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or -83-
extent of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same, or whether a supplemental indenture need be entered into. Neither the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, nor any Conversion Agent shall be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any Common Stock, or of any other securities or property or cash, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Security; and it or they do not make any representation with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to make or calculate any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or share certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Security for the purpose of conversion; and the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, and any Conversion Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to comply with any of the covenants of the Company contained in this Article. ARTICLE XIII SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES SECTION 13.1 Securities Subordinate to Senior Debt. ------------------------------------- The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Security, by its acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Article (subject to the provisions of Article IV), the indebtedness represented by the Securities and the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any) on, each and all of the Securities (including, but not limited to, the Redemption Price with respect to the Securities to be called for redemption in accordance with Article XI or the Repurchase Price with respect to Securities submitted for repurchase in accordance with Article XIV), are hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt. SECTION 13.2 No Payment in Certain Circumstances, Payment over of Proceeds upon ------------------------------------------------------------------ Dissolution, Etc. ----------------- No payment shall be made with respect to the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any) on the Securities (including, but not limited to, the Redemption Price with respect to the Securities to be called for redemption in accordance with Article XI or the Repurchase Price with respect to Securities submitted for repurchase in accordance with Article XIV), except payments and distributions made by the Trustee as permitted by Section 13.9, if: (i) a default in the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest (including a default under any repurchase or redemption obligation) or other amounts with respect to any Senior Debt occurs and is continuing (or, in the case of Senior Debt for which there is a period of grace, in the event of such a default that continues beyond the period of grace, if any, specified in the instrument or lease evidencing such Senior Debt) unless and until such default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist; or -84-
(ii) any other event of default occurs and is continuing with respect to Designated Senior Debt that then permits holders of such Designated Senior Debt to accelerate its maturity and the Trustee receives a notice of the default (a "Payment Blockage Notice") from a Representative or holder of Designated Senior Debt. If the Trustee receives any Payment Blockage Notice pursuant to clause (ii) above, no subsequent Payment Blockage Notice shall be effective for purposes of this Section unless and until (A) at least 365 days shall have elapsed since the initial effectiveness of the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice, and (B) all scheduled payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities that have come due have been paid in full in cash. No nonpayment default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the Trustee shall be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice. The Company may and shall resume payments on and distributions in respect of the Securities upon the earlier of: (1) in the case of a default referred to in clause (i) above, the date upon which the default is cured or waived or ceases to exist, or (2) in the case of a default referred to in clause (ii) above, the date upon which the default is cured or waived or ceases to exist or 179 days after the Trustee's receipt of the Payment Blockage Notice if the maturity of such Designated Senior Debt has not been accelerated, unless this Article XIII otherwise prohibits the payment or distribution at the time of such payment or distribution. In the event of (a) any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar case or proceeding in connection therewith, relative to the Company or to its creditors, as such, or to its assets, or (b) any liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, or (c) any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshaling of assets and liabilities of the Company, then and in any such event the holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of all Senior Debt in cash before the Holders of the Securities are entitled to receive any payment on account of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest (including any Liquidated Damages) on the Securities or on account of the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of Securities, and to that end the holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive, for application to the payment thereof, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, which may be payable or deliverable in respect of the Securities in any such case, proceeding, dissolution, liquidation or other winding up or event. In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Trustee or the Holder of any Security shall have received any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property, before all Senior Debt is paid in full, then and in such event such payment or distribution shall be paid over or delivered forthwith to the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee, agent or other Person making payment or distribution of assets of the Company for application to the payment of all Senior -85-
Debt remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Debt in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Debt. For purposes of this Article only, the words "cash, securities or other property" shall not be deemed to include shares of capital stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, which shares of stock or securities are subordinated in right of payment to all then outstanding Senior Debt to substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Securities are so subordinated as provided in this Article. In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall make any payment to the Trustee or the Holder of any Security prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section, then and in such event such payment shall be paid over and delivered forthwith to the Company, in the case of the Trustee, or the Trustee, in the case of such Holder. SECTION 13.3 Prior Payment to Senior Debt upon Acceleration of Securities. ------------------------------------------------------------ In the event of the acceleration of the Securities because of an Event of Default, no payment or distribution shall be made to the Trustee or any Holder of Securities in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any) on the Securities (including, but not limited to, the Redemption Price with respect to the Securities called for redemption in accordance with Article XI or the Repurchase Price with respect to the Securities submitted for repurchase in accordance with Article XIV), except payments and distributions made by the Trustee as permitted by the second paragraph of Section 13.9, until all Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt or such acceleration is rescinded in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. If payment of the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall promptly notify holders of Senior Debt of the acceleration. SECTION 13.4 Payment Permitted If No Default. -------------------------------- Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in any of the Securities shall prevent (a) the Company, at any time except during the pendency of any case, proceeding, dissolution, liquidation or other winding up, assignment for the benefit of creditors or other marshaling of assets and liabilities of the Company referred to in Section 13.2, or during the circumstances referred to in the first paragraph of Section 13.2, or under the conditions described in Section 13.3, from making payments at any time of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities, or (b) the application by the Trustee of any money deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities or the retention of such payment by the Holders, if, at the time of such application by the Trustee, it did not have knowledge that such payment would have been prohibited by the provisions of this Article. SECTION 13.5 Subrogation to Rights of Holders of Senior Debt. ------------------------------------------------ Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Debt, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the extent of the payments or distributions made to the holders of such Senior Debt -86-
pursuant to the provisions of this Article to the rights of the holders of such Senior Debt to receive payments and distributions of cash, property and securities applicable to the Senior Debt until the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities shall be paid in full. For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Debt of any cash, property or securities to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article, and no payments over pursuant to the provisions of this Article to the holders of Senior Debt by Holders of the Securities or the Trustee, shall, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Debt and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Company to or on account of the Senior Debt. SECTION 13.6 Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. ------------------------------------------- The provisions of this Article are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities on the one hand and the holders of Senior Debt on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall (i) impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Debt and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any) on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms; or (ii) affect the relative rights against the Company of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior Debt; or (iii) prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article of the holders of Senior Debt to receive cash, property and securities otherwise payable or deliverable to the Trustee or such Holder. SECTION 13.7 Trustee to Effectuate Subordination. ----------------------------------- Each Holder of a Security by its acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article and appoints the Trustee its attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. SECTION 13.8 No Waiver of Subordination Provisions. ------------------------------------- No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Debt to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company, or by any non-compliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the holders of Senior Debt may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities, without incurring responsibility to the Holders of the Securities and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article or the obligations hereunder of the Holders of the Securities to the holders of Senior Debt, do any one or more of the following: -87-
(i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Debt, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior Debt or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Debt is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Debt; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of Senior Debt; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company and any other Person. SECTION 13.9 Notice to Trustee. ----------------- The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or a Representative or a holder of Senior Debt (including, without limitation, a holder of Designated Senior Debt) and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice provided for in this Section 13.9 at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any money may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any) on any Security), then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the purpose for which such money was received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it within one Business Day prior to such date. Notwithstanding anything in this Article XIII to the contrary, nothing shall prevent any payment by the Trustee to the Holders of monies deposited with it pursuant to Section 4.1 and in compliance with Section 4.3, and any such payment shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 13.2 or 13.3. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a Representative or a holder of Senior Debt (including, without limitation, a holder of Designated Senior Debt) to establish that such notice has been given by a Representative or a holder of Senior Debt (including, without limitation, a holder of Designated Senior Debt). In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Debt to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Debt held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. -88-
SECTION 13.10 Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent. -------------------------------------------------------------- Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding up or similar case or proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article. SECTION 13.11 Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Debt. ------------------------------------------------ The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders of Securities or to the Company or to any other Person cash, property or securities to which any holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Article or otherwise. SECTION 13.12 Reliance by Holders of Senior Debt on Subordination Provisions. -------------------------------------------------------------- Each Holder by accepting a Security acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Debt, whether such Senior Debt was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Securities, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Debt and such holder of Senior Debt shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Debt, and no amendment or modification of the provisions contained herein shall diminish the rights of such holders of Senior Debt unless such holders shall have agreed in writing thereto. SECTION 13.13 Rights of Trustee as Holder of Senior Debt; Preservation of ----------------------------------------------------------- Trustee's Rights. ----------------- The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article with respect to any Senior Debt which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Debt, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. Nothing in this Article shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 6.7. SECTION 13.14 Article Applicable to Paying Agents. ----------------------------------- In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term "Trustee" as used in this Article shall in such case -89-
(unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided, however, that Section 13.13 shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company if it or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent. SECTION 13.15 Certain Conversions and Repurchases Deemed Payment. ------------------------------------------------- For the purposes of this Article only, (i) the issuance and delivery of junior securities upon conversion of Securities in accordance with Article XII or upon the repurchase of Securities in accordance with Article XIV shall not be deemed to constitute a payment or distribution on account of the principal of or premium or interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any) on Securities or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of Securities, and (ii) the payment, issuance or delivery of cash (except in satisfaction of fractional shares pursuant to Section 12.3 or 14.3(7)), property or securities (other than junior securities) upon conversion of a Security shall be deemed to constitute payment on account of the principal of such Security. For the purposes of this Section, the term "junior securities" means shares of any stock of any class of the Company and securities into which the Securities are convertible pursuant to Article XII. Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Debt and the Holders of the Securities, the right, which is absolute and unconditional, of the Holder of any Security to convert such Security in accordance with Article XII or to exchange such Security for Common Stock in accordance with Article XIV if the Company elects to satisfy the obligations under Article XIV by the delivery of Common Stock. ARTICLE XIV REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES AT THE OPTION OF THE HOLDER UPON A CHANGE IN CONTROL SECTION 14.1 Right to Require Repurchase. --------------------------- In the event that a Change in Control (as hereinafter defined) shall occur, then each Holder shall have the right, at the Holder's option, but subject to the provisions of Section 14.2, to require the Company to repurchase, and upon the exercise of such right the Company shall repurchase, all of such Holder's Securities not theretofore called for redemption, or any portion of the principal amount thereof that is equal to U.S. $1,000 or any integral multiple of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof (provided that no single Security may be repurchased in part unless the portion of the principal amount of such Security to be Outstanding after such repurchase is equal to U.S. $1,000 or integral multiples of U.S. $1,000 in excess thereof), on the date (the "Repurchase Date") that is 45 days after the date of the Company Notice (as defined in Section 14.3) at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased plus interest accrued to the Repurchase Date (the "Repurchase Price"); provided, however, that installments of interest on Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Repurchase Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such on the relevant Record Date according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.7. Such right to require the repurchase of the Securities shall not continue after a discharge of the Company from its obligations with respect to the Securities in accordance with Article IV, unless a Change in Control shall have occurred prior to such discharge. -90-
At the option of the Company, the Repurchase Price may be paid in cash or, subject to the fulfillment by the Company of the conditions set forth Section 14.2, by delivery of shares of Common Stock having a fair market value equal to the Repurchase Price. Whenever in this Indenture (including Sections 2.2, 3.1, 5.1(1) and 5.8) there is a reference, in any context, to the principal of any Security as of any time, such reference shall be deemed to include reference to the Repurchase Price payable in respect of such Security to the extent that such Repurchase Price is, was or would be so payable at such time, and express mention of the Repurchase Price in any provision of this Indenture shall not be construed as excluding the Repurchase Price in those provisions of this Indenture when such express mention is not made; provided, however, that for the purposes of Article XIII such reference shall be deemed to include reference to the Repurchase Price only to the extent the Repurchase Price is payable in cash. SECTION 14.2 Conditions to the Company's Election to Pay the Repurchase Price ---------------------------------------------------------------- in Common Stock. ---------------- The Company may elect to pay the Repurchase Price by delivery of shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 14.1 if and only if the following conditions shall have been satisfied: (1) The shares of Common Stock deliverable in payment of the Repurchase Price shall have a fair market value as of the Repurchase Date of not less than the Repurchase Price. For purposes of Section 14.1 and this Section 14.2, the fair market value of shares of Common Stock shall be determined by the Company and shall be equal to 95% of the average of the Closing Prices Per Share of the Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding and including the third Trading Day prior to the Repurchase Date; (2) The Repurchase Price shall be paid only in cash in the event any shares of Common Stock to be issued upon repurchase of Securities hereunder (i) require registration under any federal securities law before such shares may be freely transferable without being subject to any transfer restrictions under the Securities Act upon repurchase and if such registration is not completed or does not become effective prior to the Repurchase Date, and/or (ii) require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any state law or any other federal law before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon repurchase and if such registration is not completed or does not become effective or such approval is not obtained prior to the Repurchase Date; (3) Payment of the Repurchase Price may not be made in Common Stock unless such stock is, or shall have been, approved for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market or listed on a national securities exchange, in either case, prior to the Repurchase Date; and (4) All shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon repurchase of Securities will be issued out of the Company's authorized but unissued Common Stock and, will upon issue, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable and free of any preemptive or similar rights. If all of the conditions set forth in this Section 14.2 are not satisfied in accordance with the terms thereof, the Repurchase Price shall be paid by the Company only in cash. -91-
SECTION 14.3 Notices; Method of Exercising Repurchase Right, Etc. ---------------------------------------------------- (1) Unless the Company shall have theretofore called for redemption all of the Outstanding Securities, on or before the 30th day after the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company or, at the request and expense of the Company on or before the 15th day after such occurrence, the Trustee, shall give to all Holders of Securities, in the manner provided in Section 1.6, notice (the "Company Notice") of the occurrence of the Change of Control and of the repurchase right set forth herein arising as a result thereof. The Company shall also deliver a copy of such notice of a repurchase right to the Trustee. Each notice of a repurchase right shall state: (i) the Repurchase Date, (ii) the date by which the repurchase right must be exercised, (iii) the Repurchase Price, and whether the Repurchase Price shall be paid by the Company in cash or by delivery of shares of Common Stock, (iv) a description of the procedure which a Holder must follow to exercise a repurchase right, and the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Repurchase Price and accrued interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any), if any to the Repurchase Date, (v) that on the Repurchase Date the Repurchase Price, and accrued interest (including Liquidated Damages, if any), if any to the Repurchase Date, will become due and payable upon each such Security designated by the Holder to be repurchased, and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date, (vi) the Conversion Rate then in effect, the date on which the right to convert the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased will terminate and the place or places where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion, and (vii) the place or places that the Security Certificate with the Election of Holder to Require Repurchase as specified in Section 2.2 shall be delivered, and if the Security is a Restricted Securities Certificate the place or places that the Surrender Certificate required by Section 14.3(9) shall be delivered. No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices or defect therein shall limit any Holder' s right to exercise a repurchase right or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of Securities. If any of the foregoing provisions or other provisions of this Article XIV are inconsistent with applicable law, such law shall govern. -92-
(2) To exercise a repurchase right, a Holder shall deliver to the Trustee on or before the 30th day after the date of the Company Notice (i) irrevocable written notice of the Holder's exercise of such right, which notice shall set forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased (and, if any Security is to repurchased in part, the serial number thereof, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be repurchased and the name of the Person in which the portion thereof to remain Outstanding after such repurchase is to be registered) and a statement that an election to exercise the repurchase right is being made thereby, and, in the event that the Repurchase Price shall be paid in shares of Common Stock, the name or names (with addresses) in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issued, and (ii) the Securities with respect to which the repurchase right is being exercised. Such written notice shall be irrevocable, except that the right of the Holder to convert the Securities with respect to which the repurchase right is being exercised shall continue until the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Repurchase Date. (3) In the event a repurchase right shall be exercised in accordance with the terms hereof, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee the Repurchase Price in cash or shares of Common Stock, as provided above, for payment to the Holder on the Repurchase Date or, if shares of Common Stock are to be paid, as promptly after the Repurchase Date as practicable, provided, however, that installments of interest that mature on or prior to the Repurchase Date shall be payable in cash to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date. (4) If any Security (or portion thereof) surrendered for repurchase shall not be so paid on the Repurchase Date, the principal amount of such Security (or portion thereof, as the case may be) shall, until paid, bear interest to the extent permitted by applicable law from the Repurchase Date at the rate of 4.75% per annum, and each Security shall remain convertible into Common Stock until the principal of such Security (or portion thereof, as the case may be) shall have been paid or duly provided for. (5) Any Security which is to be repurchased only in part shall be surrendered to the Trustee (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities, containing identical terms and conditions, each in an authorized denomination in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unrepurchased portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. (6) Any issuance of shares of Common Stock in respect of the Repurchase Price shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the Repurchase Date and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such repurchase shall be deemed to have become on the Repurchase Date the holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby; provided, however, that any surrender for repurchase on a date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed -93-
shall constitute the Person or Persons in whose name or names the certificate or certificates for such shares are to be issued as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes at the opening of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open. No payment or adjustment shall be made for dividends or distributions on any Common Stock issued upon repurchase of any Security declared prior to the Repurchase Date. (7) No fractions of shares shall be issued upon repurchase of Securities. If more than one Security shall be repurchased from the same Holder and the Repurchase Price shall be payable in shares of Common Stock, the number of full shares which shall be issuable upon such repurchase shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities so repurchased. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable on the repurchase of any Security or Securities, the Company will deliver to the applicable Holder its check for the current market value of such fractional share. The current market value of a fraction of a share is determined by multiplying the current market price of a full share by the fraction, and rounding the result to the nearest cent. For purposes of this Section, the current market price of a share of Common Stock is the Closing Price Per Share of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Repurchase Date. (8) Any issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock on repurchase of Securities shall be made without charge to the Holder of Securities being repurchased for such certificates or for any tax or duty in respect of the issuance or delivery of such certificates or the securities represented thereby; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or duty which may be payable in respect of (i) income of the Holder or (ii) any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder of the Securities being repurchased, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issuance or delivery 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. (9) If shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon repurchase of a Security are to be registered in a name other than that of the beneficial owner of such Security, then such Holder must deliver to the Trustee a Surrender Certificate, dated the date of surrender of such Restricted Security and signed by such beneficial owner, as to compliance with the restrictions on transfer applicable to such Restricted Security. Neither the Trustee nor any Registrar or Transfer Agent or other agents shall be required to register in a name other than that of the beneficial owner shares of Common Stock issued upon repurchase of any such Restricted Security not so accompanied by a properly completed Surrender Certificate.

and except that if Goldman, Sachs & Co. advises the Company that this limitation would materially impair the liquidity of the Registrable Securities for any Electing Holder or group of Electing Holders, then the Company and Goldman, Sachs & Co. shall jointly agree in good faith on a more frequent schedule for these filings taking into account the then relevant circumstances.

(d) The Company shall promptly advise each Electing Holder, and shall confirm such advice in writing if so requested by any Holder: (i) when a Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when a Shelf Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective, in each case making a public announcement thereof by release made to Reuters Economic Services, Bloomberg Business News or such other newswire service acceptable to the Company; 6
(ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus included therein or for additional information. (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the securities included in the Shelf Registration Statement for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; and (v) of the happening of any event or the existence of any state of facts that requires the making of any changes in the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus included therein so that, as of such date, such Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus do not contain an untrue statement of a material fact and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading (which advice shall be accompanied by an instruction to such Electing Holders to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made; provided that the Company shall not be permitted to suspend the use of the Prospectus for more than an aggregate of 45 days in any 90-day period or 90 days in any 12-month period unless the Company complies with its obligations to pay Liquidated Damages as set forth in Section 7 hereof). (e) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance, and if issued to obtain the withdrawal, of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement at the earliest possible time. (f) The Company shall furnish to each Electing Holder, without charge, at least one copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and all post-effective amendments thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and, if such Electing Holder so requests in writing, all reports, other documents and exhibits that are filed with or incorporated by reference in the Shelf Registration Statement. (g) The Company shall, during the Effectiveness Period, deliver to each Electing Holder, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary Prospectus) included in the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Electing Holder may reasonably request; and the Company consents (except during the continuance of any event described in Section 3(d)(v) above) to the use of the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the Electing Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto during the Effectiveness Period. (h) Prior to any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall (i) register or qualify or cooperate with the Electing Holders and 7
their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Electing Holder may reasonably request, (ii) keep such registrations or qualifications in effect and comply with such laws so as to permit the continuance of offers and sales in such jurisdictions for so long as may be necessary to enable any Electing Holder or underwriter, if any, to complete its distribution of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, and (iii) take any and all other actions necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of such Registrable Securities; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be obligated to (A) qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to so qualify but for this Section 3(h), (B) file any general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not as of the date so subject or (C) subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not as of the date hereof so subject. (i) Unless any Registrable Securities shall be in book-entry only form, the Company shall cooperate with the Electing Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, which certificates, if so required by any securities exchange upon which any Registrable Securities are listed, shall be penned, lithographed or engraved, or produced by any combination of such methods, on steel engraved borders, and which certificates shall be free of any restrictive legends and in such permitted denominations and registered in such names as Electing Holders may request in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. (j) Upon the occurrence of any fact or event contemplated by paragraph 3(d)(v) above, the Company shall promptly prepare a post-effective amendment to any Shelf Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement to the related Prospectus or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, the Prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, if the Company determines based upon the advice of counsel that it is advisable to disclose in the Shelf Registration Statement a financing, acquisition or other corporate transaction or other material event affecting the Company or its securities, and the Board of Directors of the Company shall have determined in good faith that such disclosure would not be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, the Company shall not be required to prepare and file such amendment, supplement or document for such period as the Board of Directors of the Company shall have determined in good faith is in the best interests of the Company. If the Company notifies the Electing Holders of the occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraph 3(d)(v) above, the Electing Holder shall suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes to the Prospectus have been made. (k) Not later than the Effective Time of the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall provide a CUSIP number for the Registrable Securities that are debt securities. 8
(l) The Company shall use its best efforts to comply with all applicable Rules and Regulations, and to make generally available to its securityholders as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than eighteen months after (i) the effective date (as defined in Rule 158(c) under the Securities Act) of the Shelf Registration Statement, (ii) the effective date of each post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement, and (iii) the date of each filing by the Company with the Commission of an Annual Report on Form 10-K that is incorporated by reference in the Shelf Registration Statement, an earning statement of the Company and its subsidiaries complying with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (including, at the option of the Company, Rule 158). (m) Not later than the Effective Time of the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall cause the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act; in connection with such qualification, the Company shall cooperate with the Trustee under the Indenture and the Holders (as defined in the Indenture) to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required for such Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the Trust Indenture Act; and the Company shall execute, and shall use all reasonable efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents that may be required to effect such changes and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the Commission to enable such Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner. In the event that any such amendment or modification referred to in this Section 3(m) involves the appointment of a new trustee under the Indenture, the Company shall appoint a new trustee thereunder pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Indenture. (n) In the event of an underwritten offering conducted pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the Company shall, if requested, promptly include or incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement such information as the Managing Underwriters reasonably agree should be included therein and to which the Company does not reasonably object and shall make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after it is notified of the matters to be included or incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post- effective amendment. (o) The Company shall enter into such customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form in the event of an underwritten offering conducted pursuant to Section 6 hereof) and take all other appropriate action in order to expedite and facilitate the registration and disposition of the Registrable Securities, and in connection therewith, if an underwriting agreement is entered into, cause the same to contain indemnification provisions and procedures substantially identical to those set forth in Section 5 hereof with respect to all parties to be indemnified pursuant to Section 5 hereof. (p) The Company shall: (i) upon request by any Electing Holder (A) make reasonably available for inspection by Electing Holders, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by such Electing Holders or any such underwriter all relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and its 9
subsidiaries, and (B) cause the Company's officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by such Electing Holders or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, in each case, as is customary for similar due diligence examinations; provided, however, that all records, information and documents that are designated in writing by the Company, in good faith, as confidential shall be kept confidential by such Electing Holders and any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent, unless such disclosure is made in connection with a court proceeding or required by law, or such records, information or documents become available to the public generally or through a third party without an accompanying obligation of confidentiality; and provided further that, if the foregoing inspection and information gathering would otherwise disrupt the Company's conduct of its business, such inspection and information gathering shall, to the greatest extent possible, be coordinated on behalf of the Electing Holders and the other parties entitled thereto by one counsel designated by and on behalf of Electing Holders and other parties reasonably acceptable to the Company; (ii) in connection with any underwritten offering conducted pursuant to Section 6 hereof, make such representations and warranties to the Holders participating in such underwritten offering and to the Managing Underwriters, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by the Company to underwriters in primary underwritten offerings of equity and convertible debt securities and covering matters including, but not limited to, those set forth in the Purchase Agreement; (iii) in connection with any underwritten offering conducted pursuant to Section 6 hereof, obtain opinions of counsel to the Company (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Underwriters) addressed to the underwriters, covering such matters as are customarily covered in opinions requested in primary underwritten offerings of equity and convertible debt securities and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by such underwriters (it being agreed that the matters to be covered by such opinions shall include, without limitation, as of the date of the opinion and as of the Effective Time of the Shelf Registration Statement or most recent post-effective amendment thereto, as the case may be, such counsel's belief as to the absence from the Shelf Registration Statement and the Prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference therein, of an untrue statement of a material fact or the omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (iv) in connection with any underwritten offering conducted pursuant to Section 6 hereof, obtain "cold comfort" letters and updates thereof from the independent public accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, from the independent public accountants of any subsidiary of the Company or of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included in the Shelf Registration Statement), addressed to each Holder participating in such underwritten offering (if such Holder has provided such letter, representations or documentation, if any, required for such "cold comfort" letter to be so addressed) and the 10
underwriters, in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in "cold comfort" letters in connection with primary underwritten offerings; (v) in connection with any underwritten offering conducted pursuant to Section 6 hereof, deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by any Holders participating in such underwritten offering and the Managing Underwriters, if any, including, without limitation, certificates to evidence compliance with Section 3(j) hereof and with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreements entered into by the Company. (q) The Company will use its reasonable efforts to cause the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange or other stock exchange or trading system on which the Common Stock primarily trades on or prior to the Effective Time of the Shelf Registration Statement hereunder. (r) In the event that any broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act shall be an "affiliate" (as defined in Rule 2720(b)(1) of the NASD Rules (or any successor provision thereto)) of the Company or has a "conflict of interest" (as defined in Rule 2720(b)(7) of the NASD Rules (or any successor provision thereto)) and such broker-dealer shall underwrite, participate as a member of an underwriting syndicate or selling group or assist in the distribution of any Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement, whether as a Holder of such Registrable Securities or as an underwriter, a placement or sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect thereof, or otherwise, the Company shall assist such broker-dealer in complying with the requirements of the NASD Rules, including, without limitation, by (A) engaging a "qualified independent underwriter" (as defined in Rule 2720(b)(15) of the NASD Rules (or any successor provision thereto)) to participate in the preparation of the registration statement relating to such Registrable Securities, to exercise usual standards of due diligence in respect thereto and to recommend the public offering price of such Registrable Securities, (B) indemnifying such qualified independent underwriter to the extent of the indemnification of underwriters provided in Section 5 hereof, and (C) providing such information to such broker-dealer as may be required in order for such broker-dealer to comply with the requirements of the NASD Rules. (s) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration, offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement contemplated hereby. 4. Registration Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3, the Company shall bear all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its obligations under Sections 2 and 3 hereof and shall bear or reimburse the Electing Holders for the reasonable fees and disbursements of Ropes & Gray, Boston, Massachusetts, or such other counsel as may be selected by a majority in interest of Electing Holders (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company), to act as counsel therefore in connection therewith. Each Electing Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Electing Holder's Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. 11
5. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) Indemnification by the Company. Upon the registration of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2 hereof, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Electing Holder and each underwriter, selling agent or other securities professional that may be deemed an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, if any, that facilitates the disposition of Registrable Securities, and each of their respective officers and directors and each person who controls such Electing Holder, underwriter, selling agent or other securities professional within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each such person being sometimes referred to as an "Indemnified Person") against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Shelf Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities are to be registered under the Securities Act, or any Prospectus contained therein or furnished by the Company to any Indemnified Person, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Company hereby agrees to reimburse such Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any such Indemnified Person in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus, or amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use therein; provided, further, in a disposition of Registrable Securities that does not involve (in whole or in part) an underwritten offering conducted pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the Company shall not be liable to any Electing Holder or any officer and director and each person who controls such Electing Holder (an "Indemnified Electing Holder") pursuant to the foregoing to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such Indemnified Electing Holder results from the fact that such Indemnified Electing Holder sold Registrable Securities to a person as to whom it shall be established by conclusive evidence that there was not sent or given, at or prior to the written confirmation of such a sale, a copy of the Prospectus (excluding documents incorporated by reference) or the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented (excluding documents incorporated by reference) in any case where such delivery is required by the Act, if the Company has previously furnished copies thereof upon request therefor in sufficient quantity to such Indemnified Electing Holder and the loss, claim, damage or liability of such Indemnified Electing Holder results from an untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus which was identified in writing at such time to such Indemnified Electing Holder and corrected in the Prospectus (excluding any document incorporated by reference) or in the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented (excluding documents incorporated by reference) and such correction would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or liability. 12
(b) Indemnification by the Holders and any Agents and Underwriters. Each Electing Holder agrees, as a consequence of the inclusion of any of such Electing Holder's Registrable Securities in such Shelf Registration Statement, and each underwriter, selling agent or other securities professional, if any, that facilitates the disposition of Registrable Securities shall agree, as a consequence of facilitating such disposition of Registrable Securities, severally and not jointly, to (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers who sign any Shelf Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or such other persons may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Electing Holder, underwriter, selling agent or other securities professional expressly for use therein, and (ii) reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred. (c) Notices of Claims, Etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 5, notify such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 5. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, such indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 5 for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party. No indemnifying party shall be required to indemnify an indemnified party for any amount paid or payable in the 13
settlement of any action, proceeding or investigation without the prior written consent of such indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. (d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or by such indemnified party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Electing Holders or any underwriters, selling agents or other securities professionals or all of them were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 5(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The obligations of the Electing Holders and any underwriters, selling agents or other securities professionals in this Section 5(d) to contribute shall be several in proportion to the percentage of principal amount of Registrable Securities registered or underwritten, as the case may be, by them and not joint. (e) Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5, in no event will any (i) Electing Holder be required to undertake liability to any person under this Section 5 for any amounts in excess of the dollar amount of the proceeds to be received by such Electing Holder from the sale of such Holder's Registrable Securities (after deducting any fees, discounts and commissions applicable thereto) pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities are to be registered under the Securities Act and (ii) underwriter, selling agent or other securities professional be required to undertake liability to any person hereunder for any amounts in excess of the discount, commission or other compensation payable to such underwriter, selling agent or other securities professional with respect to the Registrable Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public. (f) Remedy not Exclusive. The obligations of the Company under this Section 5 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to any Indemnified Person and the obligations of any Indemnified Person under this Section 5 shall be in addition to 14
any liability which such Indemnified Person may otherwise have to the Company. The remedies provided in this Section 5 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to an indemnified party at law or in equity. 6. Underwritten Offering. Any Holder of Registrable Securities who desires to do so may sell Registrable Securities (in whole or in part) in an underwritten offering; provided that (i) the Electing Holders of at least 33- 1/3% in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities then covered by the Shelf Registration Statement shall request such an offering and (ii) at least such aggregate principal amount of such Registrable Securities shall be included in such offering; and provided further that the Company shall not be obligated to cooperate with more than one underwritten offering during the Effectiveness Period. Upon receipt of such a request, the Company shall provide all Holders of Registrable Securities written notice of the request, which notice shall inform such Holders that they have the opportunity to participate in the offering. In any such underwritten offering, the investment banker or bankers and manager or managers that will administer the offering will be selected by, and the underwriting arrangements with respect thereto (including the size of the offering) will be approved by, the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included in such offering; provided, however, that such investment bankers and managers and underwriting arrangements must be reasonably satisfactory to the Company. No Holder may participate in any underwritten offering contemplated hereby unless (a) such Holder agrees to sell such Holder's Registrable Securities to be included in the underwritten offering in accordance with any approved underwriting arrangements, (b) such Holder completes and executes all reasonable questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, lock-up letters and other documents required under the terms of such approved underwriting arrangements, and (c) if such Holder is not then an Electing Holder, such Holder returns a completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire to the Company in accordance with Section 3(a)(ii) hereof within a reasonable amount of time before such underwritten offering. The Holders participating in any underwritten offering shall be responsible for any underwriting discounts and commissions and fees and, subject to Section 4 hereof, expenses of their own counsel. The Company shall pay all expenses customarily borne by issuers, including but not limited to filing fees, the fees and disbursements of its counsel and independent public accountants and any printing expenses incurred in connection with such underwritten offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the provisions of Section 3(n) hereof, upon receipt of a request from the Managing Underwriter or a representative of holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included in an underwritten offering to prepare and file an amendment or supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus in connection with an underwritten offering, the Company may delay the filing of any such amendment or supplement for up to 90 days if the Board of Directors of the Company or if the chief executive officer and chief financial officer jointly shall have determined in good faith that the Company has a bona fide business reason for such delay. 7. Liquidated Damages. (a) Notwithstanding any postponement permitted by Section 2(a) hereof, if (i) on or prior to the 90th day following the Closing Date, a Shelf Registration Statement has not been filed with the Commission or (ii) on or prior to the 180th day following the Closing Date, such Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission (each, a "Registration 15
Default"), the Company shall be required to pay liquidated damages ("Liquidated Damages"), from and including the day following such Registration Default until such Shelf Registration Statement is either so filed or so filed and subsequently declared effective, as applicable, at a rate per annum equal to an additional one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the principal amount of Registrable Securities, to and including the 90th day following such Registration Default and one-half of one percent (0.5%) thereof from and after the 91st day following such Registration Default. (b) In the event that the Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective (or the Holders of Registrable Securities are otherwise prevented or restricted by the Company from effecting sales pursuant thereto, including, without limitation, for the reasons set forth in Section 2(b) or Section 3(j), notwithstanding the fact that such reasons are not deemed a failure by the Company to keep the Registration Statement effective under Section 2(b)) (an "Effective Failure") for more than 45 days, whether or not consecutive, in any 90-day period, or more than 90 days, whether or not consecutive, during any 12- month period, then the Company shall pay Liquidated Damages at a rate per annum equal to an additional one-half of one percent (0.5%) from the 46th day of the applicable 90-day period or the 91st day of the applicable 12-month period, as the case may be, that such Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective (or the Holders of Registrable Securities are otherwise prevented or restricted by the Company from effecting sales pursuant thereto) until the earlier of (i) the time the Shelf Registration Statement again becomes effective or the Holders of Registrable Securities are again able to make sales under the Shelf Registration Statement or (ii) the time the Effectiveness Period expires. For the purpose of determining an Effective Failure, days on which the Company has been obligated to pay Liquidated Damages in accordance with the foregoing in respect of a prior Effective Failure within the applicable 90-day or 12-month period, as the case may be, shall not be included. (c) In the event the Company fails to file a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement, or the post-effective amendment is not declared effective, within the periods required by Section 3, the Company shall pay Liquidated Damages at a rate per annum equal to an additional one-half of one percent (0.5%) from and including the date of such Registration Default until such time as such Registration Default is cured. (d) Any amounts to be paid as Liquidated Damages pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 7 shall be paid semi-annually in arrears, with the first semi-annual payment due on the first Interest Payment Date (as defined in the Indenture), as applicable, following the date of such Registration Default. Such Liquidated Damages will accrue in respect of the Securities at the rates set forth in paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 7, as applicable, on the principal amount of the Securities. If any of the Registrable Securities shall have been converted into Common Stock, then the amount of Liquidated Damages payable under this Section 7 per share of Common Stock so converted shall be determined by dividing (x) the amount that would have been payable hereunder on the aggregate principal amount so converted by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion. (e) The Liquidated Damages as set forth in this Section 7 shall be the exclusive monetary remedy available to the Holders of Registrable Securities for such Registration Default 16
or Effective Failure. In no event shall the Company be required to pay Liquidated Damages in excess of the applicable maximum amount of one-half of one percent (0.5%) set forth above, regardless of whether one or multiple Registration Defaults exist. 8. Miscellaneous. (a) Other Registration Rights. The Company may grant registration rights that would permit any Person that is a third party the right to piggy- back on any Shelf Registration Statement, provided that if the Managing Underwriter of any underwritten offering conducted pursuant to Section 6 hereof notifies the Company and the Electing Holders that the total amount of securities which the Electing Holders and the holders of such piggy-back rights intend to include in any Shelf Registration Statement is so large as to materially threaten the success of such offering (including the price at which such securities can be sold), then the amount, number or kind of securities to be offered for the account of holders of such piggy-back rights will be reduced to the extent necessary to reduce the total amount of securities to be included in such offering to the amount, number and kind recommended by the Managing Underwriter prior to any reduction in the amount of Registrable Securities to be included in such Shelf Registration Statement. (b) Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge that there would be no adequate remedy at law if the Company fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder and that the Purchasers and the Holders from time to time may be irreparably harmed by any such failure, and accordingly agree that the Purchasers and such Holders, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law or in equity and without limiting the remedies available to the Electing Holders under Section 7 hereof, shall be entitled to compel specific performance of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Registration Rights Agreement, in any court of the United States or any State thereof having jurisdiction. (c) Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement, including this Section 8(c), may be amended, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may be given, only by a written instrument duly executed by the Company and the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Registrable Securities then outstanding. Each Holder of Registrable Securities outstanding at the time of any such amendment, waiver or consent or thereafter shall be bound by any amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to this Section 8(c), whether or not any notice, writing or marking indicating such amendment, waiver or consent appears on the Registrable Securities or is delivered to such Holder. (d) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be given as provided in the Indenture. (e) Parties in Interest. The parties to this Agreement intend that all Holders of Registrable Securities shall be entitled to receive the benefits of this Agreement and that any Electing Holder shall be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement by reason of such election with respect to the Registrable Securities which are included in a Shelf Registration Statement. All the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties 17
hereto and any Holder from time to time of the Registrable Securities to the aforesaid extent. In the event that any transferee of any Holder of Registrable Securities shall acquire Registrable Securities, in any manner, whether by gift, bequest, purchase, operation of law or otherwise, such transferee shall, without any further writing or action of any kind, be entitled to receive the benefits of and, if an Electing Holder, be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement to the aforesaid extent. (f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
