Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of Outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in such manner and upon instructions given by the Holder of such Notes in accordance with this Tenth Supplemental Indenture. Payment of principal and accrued and unpaid interest on a Global Note shall be made to the Holder of such Note on the date of payment, unless a Record Date or other means of determining Holders eligible to receive payment is provided for herein.
          The terms and provisions contained in the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto are incorporated herein and shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Tenth Supplemental Indenture and to the extent applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Tenth Supplemental Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.

Interest shall be payable at the office of the Company maintained by the Company for such purposes in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, which shall initially be an office or agency of the Trustee. The Company shall pay interest (i) on any Notes in certificated form by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it appears in the Security Register (or upon written application by such Person to the Security Registrar not later than the relevant record date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to such Person’s account within the United States, if such Person is entitled to interest on an aggregate principal in excess of $1,000,000) or (ii) on any Global Note by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee.

          Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at any such office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 4.02. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive, bearing registration numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.
          All Notes presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, repurchase or conversion shall (if so required by the Company, the Trustee, the Security Registrar or any co-registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and duly executed, by the Noteholder thereof or his attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing.
          No service charge shall be charged to the Noteholder for any exchange or registration of transfer of Notes, but the Company or the Trustee may require payment of a sum

          All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with this Tenth Supplemental Indenture shall be the valid, binding and legal obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Tenth Supplemental Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
               (b) Intentionally Omitted.
               (c) Intentionally Omitted.
               (d) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this instrument or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this instrument, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.
               (e) So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, unless otherwise required by law, all Notes shall be represented by one or more Notes in global form (each, a “Global Note”) registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in a Global Note, which does not involve the issuance of a definitive Note, shall be effected through the Depositary (but not the Trustee or the Custodian) in accordance with this Tenth Supplemental Indenture (including the restrictions on transfer set forth herein) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor.

The Company may, without the consent of the Noteholders and notwithstanding Section 2.01, issue additional Notes hereunder with the same terms and with the same CUSIP number as the Notes initially issued hereunder in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, which will form the same series with the Notes initially issued hereunder, provided that no such additional Notes may be issued unless fungible with the Notes initially issued hereunder for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company may also from time to time repurchase the Notes in open market purchases by tender at any price or by private agreement without prior notice to Noteholders.

               (b) the name and address of the Conversion Agent; and
               (c) that Holders who wish to convert Notes must surrender such Notes for conversion no later than the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date and must satisfy the other requirements set forth herein.

          Section 4.01 Payment of Principal and Interest.

10


 

               (a) Sections 307 and 1001 of the Base Indenture shall apply to the Notes; provided, however, that, with respect to any Noteholder with an aggregate principal amount in excess of $1,000,000, at the application of such Holder in writing to the Security Registrar not later than the relevant record date, accrued and unpaid interest on such Holder’s Notes shall be paid by wire transfer in immediately available funds to such Holder’s account in the United States supplied by such Holder from time to time to the Trustee and Paying Agent (if different from Trustee); provided further that payment of accrued and unpaid interest made to the Depositary shall be paid by wire transfer in immediately available funds in accordance with such wire transfer instructions and other procedures provided by the Depositary from time to time.
               (b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.01(b), a Holder of any Notes at the close of business on a Record Date shall be entitled to receive interest on such Notes on the corresponding Interest Payment Date. A Holder of any Notes as of a Record Date that are converted after the close of business on such Record Date and prior to the opening of business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive interest on the principal amount of such Notes, notwithstanding the conversion of such Notes prior to such Interest Payment Date. However, a Holder that surrenders any Notes for conversion between the close of business on a Record Date and the opening of business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date shall be required to pay the Company an amount equal to the interest payable by the Company with respect to such Notes on such Interest Payment Date at the time such Holder surrenders such Notes for conversion, provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply to a Holder that converts Notes:
               (i) in respect of which the Company has given notice of redemption pursuant to Section 3.03 on a Redemption Date that is after the relevant Record Date and on or prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date; or
               (ii) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Notes;
               (iii) in connection with a Fundamental Change in which the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the next Interest Payment Date; or
               (iv) after 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date.
Accordingly, a Holder that converts Notes under any of the circumstances described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above will not be required to pay to the Company an amount equal to the interest payable by the Company with respect to such Notes on the relevant Interest Payment Date.
          Section 4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency for Conversion Agent. If at any time the Conversion Agent is not the Trustee or an office or agency designated or appointed by the Trustee, the Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location of such Conversion Agent. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain an office or agency for the Conversion Agent, presentations, surrenders, notices and demands related to conversions of

11


 

Notes may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York.

               (b) failure by the Company to comply with its obligation to convert the Notes into Common Shares upon exercise of a Holder’s conversion right, and such failure continues for a period of 10 days; or
               (c) failure by the Company to issue a Fundamental Change Company Notice in accordance with Section 9.02 when due, and such failure continues for a period of two days.

               (b) reduce the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Redemption Price of any Note, or amend or modify in any manner adverse to Noteholders the Company’s obligation to make such payments or Article III or Article IX of this Tenth Supplemental Indenture, whether through an amendment or waiver of provisions in the covenants, definitions or otherwise.
          Section 6.03 Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, the Base Indenture and this Tenth Supplemental Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Tenth Supplemental Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Notes theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder and of any coupon appertaining thereto shall be bound thereby.

ARTICLE VIII
CONVERSION OF NOTES
          Section 8.01 Conversion Privilege.

13


 

               (a) Subject to the conditions described in Section 8.11 hereof, and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article VIII, a Holder of Notes shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) of such Note at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date at a rate (the “Conversion Rate”) of 57.8503 Common Shares (subject to adjustment by the Company as provided in Section 8.04) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (the “Conversion Obligation”) under the circumstances and during the periods set forth below.
               (b) Intentionally Omitted.
               (c) Intentionally Omitted.
               (d) In the event that the Company has delivered a notice of redemption in accordance with Section 1104 of the Base Indenture and Section 3.03 of this Tenth Supplemental Indenture to the Holders of Notes, a Holder of Notes may convert Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the corresponding Redemption Date; provided, however, that a Holder who has already delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect to a Note may not convert such Note until the Holder has withdrawn the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with the terms of the Note and this Tenth Supplemental Indenture.
               (e) Intentionally Omitted.
               (f) Intentionally Omitted.
               (g) (1) If a Noteholder elects to convert Notes in connection with a Fundamental Change, the Conversion Rate applicable to each $1,000 principal amount of Notes so converted shall be increased by an additional number of Common Shares (the “Additional Shares”) as described below. Settlement of Notes tendered for conversion to which Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate as provided in this subsection shall be settled pursuant to Section 8.02 below, as applicable. For purposes of this Section 8.01(g), a conversion shall be deemed to be “in connection with” a Fundamental Change to the extent that the related conversion notice is delivered during the time period beginning on the 30th Trading Day prior to the anticipated Effective Date of such Fundamental Change and ending on the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, inclusive. Such conversion notice shall indicate that the Holder of Notes has elected to convert Notes in connection with a Fundamental Change; provided, however, that the failure to so indicate shall not in any way affect the Conversion Obligation or the right of such Holder to receive Additional Shares in connection with such conversion. The Company shall give notice to all record Noteholders and the Trustee and issue a press release of the Fundamental Change no later than 30 scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of the Fundamental Change.
               (i) The number of Additional Shares by which the Conversion Rate will be increased shall be determined by reference to the table attached as Schedule A hereto, based on the date on which the Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the “Effective Date”), and the Stock Price; provided, that if the Stock Price is

14


 

between two Stock Price amounts in the table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the next higher and next lower Stock Price amounts and the two nearest Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year; provided further that if (1) the Stock Price is greater than $40.00 per Common Share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as set forth in Section 8.04), no Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion Rate, and (2) the Stock Price is less than $13.40 per Common Share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as set forth in Section 8.04), no Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the total number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion exceed 74.6268 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (subject to adjustment in the same manner as set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of Section 8.04).
               (ii) The Stock Prices set forth in the first row of the table in Schedule A hereto shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Notes is adjusted. The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares within the table shall be adjusted in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 8.04 (other than by operation of an adjustment to the Conversion Rate by adding Additional Shares).
          Section 8.02 Conversion Procedures.
               (a) (1) The Company shall settle its Conversion Obligations entirely in Common Shares. In satisfying its Conversion Obligations, the Company shall deliver a number of Common Shares equal to (i) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be converted divided by $1,000, multiplied by (ii) the applicable Conversion Rate (which shall include any increases to reflect any Additional Shares that such Holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 8.01(g) above). The Company shall deliver such Common Shares, together with any cash in lieu of fractional Common Shares as set forth pursuant to clause (k) below, on the third Business Day immediately following the applicable Conversion Date. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if any calculation required in order to determine the number of Common Shares to be delivered by the Company in respect of a particular conversion is based upon data that will not be available to the Company on the applicable Conversion Date, the Company shall be entitled to delay settlement of that conversion until the third Business Day after the relevant data become available.
               (b) Intentionally Omitted.
               (c) Before any Holder of a Note shall be entitled to convert the same as set forth above, such Holder shall (1) in the case of a Global Note, comply with the procedures of the Depositary in effect at that time and, if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 4.01(b) and Section 8.02(i) and, if required, pay all taxes or duties, if any, and (2) in the case of a Note

15


 

issued in certificated form, (A) complete and manually sign and deliver an irrevocable written notice to the Conversion Agent in the form on the reverse of such certificated Note (or a facsimile thereof) (a “Notice of Conversion”) at the office of the Conversion Agent and shall state in writing therein the principal amount of Notes to be converted and the name or names (with addresses) in which such Holder wishes the certificate or certificates for any Common Shares to be delivered upon settlement of the Conversion Obligation to be registered, (B) surrender such Notes, duly endorsed to the Company or in blank (and accompanied by appropriate endorsement and transfer documents), at the office of the Conversion Agent, (C) if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 4.01(b) and Section 8.02(i), and (D) if required, pay all taxes or duties, if any. A Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the “Conversion Date”) that the Holder has complied with the requirements set forth in this Section 8.02(c).
          No Notice of Conversion with respect to any Notes may be tendered by a Holder thereof if such Holder has also tendered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice and not validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 9.02.
          If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the Conversion Obligation with respect to such Notes, if any, that shall be payable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted thereby) so surrendered.
               (d) Delivery of the amounts owing in satisfaction of the Conversion Obligation shall be made by the Company in no event later than the date specified in Section 8.02(a). The Company shall make such delivery by issuing, or causing to be issued, and delivering to the Conversion Agent or to such Holder, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, certificates or a book-entry transfer through the Depositary for the number of full Common Shares to which such Holder shall be entitled as part of such Conversion Obligation (together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares).
               (e) In case any Note shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder of the Note so surrendered, without charge to such Holder, a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Notes.
               (f) If a Holder submits a Note for conversion, the Company shall pay all stamp and other duties, if any, which may be imposed by the United States or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to the issuance of Common Shares, if any, upon the conversion. However, the Holder shall pay any such tax that is due because the Holder requests any Common Shares to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name. The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver the certificates representing the Common Shares being issued in a name other than the Holder’s name until the Trustee receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax which will be due because the shares are to be issued in a name other

16


 

than the Holder’s name. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulations.
               (g) Except as provided in Section 8.04, no adjustment shall be made for dividends on any shares issued upon the conversion of any Note as provided in this Article.
               (h) Upon the conversion of an interest in a Global Note, the Trustee, or the Custodian at the direction of the Trustee, shall make a notation on such Global Note as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversion of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.
               (i) Upon conversion, a Noteholder will not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest, except as set forth below. The Company’s settlement of its Conversion Obligation as described above shall be deemed to satisfy its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Note and accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Conversion Date. As a result, accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Conversion Date shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if Notes are converted after the close of business on a Record Date, Holders of such Notes as of the close of business on the Record Date will receive the interest payable on such Notes on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any regular Record Date to the opening of business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the interest payable on the Notes so converted; provided, however, that no such payment need be made (1) if the Company has called the Notes for redemption or (2) to the extent of any overdue interest existing at the time of conversion with respect to such Note, (3) to Notes surrendered for conversion in connection with a Fundamental Change in which the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the next Interest Payment Date, or (4) to Notes surrendered for conversion after 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date. Except as described above, no payment or adjustment will be made for accrued interest on converted Notes.
               (j) The Person in whose name the certificate for any Common Shares issued upon conversion is registered shall be treated as a shareholder of record on and after the Conversion Date; provided, however, that no surrender of Notes on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall be effective to constitute the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Shares upon such conversion as the record holder or holders of such Common Shares on such date, but such surrender shall be effective to constitute the Person or Persons entitled to receive such Common Shares as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open; such conversion shall be at the Conversion Rate in effect on the date that such Notes shall have been surrendered for conversion, as if the stock transfer books of the Company had not been closed. Upon conversion of Notes, such Person shall no longer be a Noteholder.

17


 

               (k) No fractional Common Shares shall be issued upon conversion of any Note or Notes. If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares that shall be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof) so surrendered. Instead of any fractional Common Share that would otherwise be issued upon conversion of any Note or Notes (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction (calculated to the nearest one-100th of a share) in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Shares on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date.
               (l) Reserved.
          Section 8.03 Reserved.
          Section 8.04 Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
               (a) In case the Company shall issue Common Shares as a dividend or distribution to holders of the outstanding Common Stock, or shall effect a subdivision into a greater number of Common Shares or combination into a lesser number of Common Shares, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
                 
 
  CR¢ = CR0   x   OS¢    
 
           
 
      OS0    
          where
  CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be;
 
  CR¢ = the Conversion Rate in effect as of the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such share split or combination, as the case may be;
 
  OS0 = the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such event; and
 
  OS¢ = the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event.
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day following the record date fixed for such determination. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 8.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, or the outstanding Common Shares are not subdivided or combined, as the case may be, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Trustees determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, or subdivide or combine the outstanding

18


 

Common Shares, as the case may be, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination had not been declared.
               (b) In case the Company shall issue to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding Common Shares any rights, warrants or convertible securities entitling them (for a period expiring within sixty (60) calendar days after the issuance thereof) to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at a price per share less than the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Shares on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
                 
 
  CR¢ = CR0   x   OS0 + X    
 
           
 
      OS0 + Y    
          where
  CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such distribution;
 
  CR¢ = the Conversion Rate in effect as of the Ex-Date for such distribution;
 
  OS0 = the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such event;
 
  X = the total number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to such rights, warrants or convertible securities; and
 
  Y = the number of Common Shares equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, warrants or convertible securities divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per Common Share over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Business Day immediately preceding the record date (or, if later, the Ex-Date relating to such distribution) for the issuance of such rights, warrants or convertible securities.
Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights, warrants or convertible securities are issued and shall become effective immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day following the date fixed for such determination. If such rights, warrants or convertible securities are not so exercised prior to their expiration, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such record date for such distribution had not been fixed.
          In determining whether any rights, warrants or convertible securities entitle the holder thereof to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at a price per share less than the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Shares on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Common Shares, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, warrants or convertible securities and any amount payable on exercise or

19


 

conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Trustees.
               (c) In case the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Shares, shares of beneficial interest, evidences of its indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company (including securities, but excluding dividends and distributions covered by Section 8.04(a), Section 8.04(b) or Section 8.04(d) and distributions described below in this paragraph (c) with respect to Spin-Offs) (any of such shares of beneficial interest, indebtedness, or other asset or property hereinafter in this Section 8.04(c) called the “Distributed Property”), then, in each such case the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
                 
 
  CR¢ = CR0   x   SP0    
 
           
 
      SP0 FMV    
          where
  CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such distribution;
 
  CR¢ = the Conversion Rate in effect as of the Ex-Date for such distribution;
 
  SP0 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Shares over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Business Day immediately preceding the record date for such distribution (or, if earlier, the Ex-Date relating to such distribution); and
 
  FMV = the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Trustees) of the Distributed Property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Shares on the record date for such distribution (or, if earlier, the Ex-Date relating to such distribution).
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day following the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution; provided that if the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Distributed Property so distributed applicable to one Common Share is equal to or greater than SP0 as set forth above, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Noteholder shall have the right to receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes upon conversion, the amount of Distributed Property such Holder would have received had such Holder owned a number of Common Shares equal to the Conversion Rate on the record date. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Trustees determines the fair market value of any

20


 

distribution for purposes of this Section 8.04(c) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in determining SP0 above.
          With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 8.04(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Shares in shares of beneficial interest any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit (a “Spin-Off”), unless the Company distributes such shares of beneficial interest or equity interests to each Noteholder on the same basis as such Noteholder would have received had it converted its Notes solely into Common Shares immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Record Date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive the distribution will be increased based on the following formula:
                 
 
  CR¢ = CR0   x   FMV0 + MP0    
 
           
 
      MP0    
          where
  CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such distribution;
 
  CR¢ = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such distribution;
 
  FMV0 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the shares of beneficial interest or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Shares applicable to one Common Share over the first ten consecutive Trading Day period after the effective date of the Spin-Off; and
 
  MP0 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Shares over the first ten consecutive Trading Day period after the effective date of the Spin-Off.
Such adjustment shall occur on the tenth Trading Day from, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off; provided that in respect of any conversion within the ten Trading Days following any Spin-Off, references within this paragraph (c) to ten days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between such Spin-Off and the Conversion Date in determining the applicable Conversion Rate.
          Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Shares, entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares (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 Common Shares; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Shares, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 8.04 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 8.04 will be required) until the occurrence of the

21


 

earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 8.04(c). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Tenth Supplemental Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 8.04 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Shares with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Shares as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued.
          For purposes of this Section 8.04(c), Section 8.04(a) and Section 8.04(b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 8.04(c) is applicable that also includes Common Shares to which Section 8.04(a) applies or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares to which Section 8.04(a) or Section 8.04(b) applies (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of Capital Stock other than such Common Shares or rights or warrants to which Section 8.04(c) applies (and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 8.04(c) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such Common Shares or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 8.04(a) and Section 8.04(b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the record date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as “the record date” and “the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Section 8.04(a) and Section 8.04(b) and (B) any Common Shares included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding immediately prior to such event” within the meaning of Section 8.04(a).
               (d) In case the Company shall pay a dividend or make a distribution consisting exclusively of cash to all or substantially all holders of its Common Shares to the extent that the aggregate of all such cash dividends or distributions paid in any quarter exceeds the Dividend Threshold Amount for such quarter, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
                 
 
  CR¢ = CR0   x   SP0 – T    
 
           
 
      SP0 – C    

22


 

          where
  CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such distribution;
 
  CR¢ = the Conversion Rate in effect as of the Ex-Date for such distribution;
 
  SP0 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Shares over the period of ten consecutive Trading Days ending the Business Day immediately preceding the record date (as defined in clause (f) of this Section) for such distribution (or, if earlier, the Ex-Date relating to such distribution);
 
  T = the dividend threshold amount (“Dividend Threshold Amount”), which amount shall initially be $0.15 per quarter and which shall be appropriately adjusted from time to time for any share dividends on, or subdivisions or combinations of, Common Shares; provided, that if a Conversion Rate adjustment is required to be made as a result of a distribution that is not a quarterly dividend either in whole or in part, the Dividend Threshold Amount shall be deemed to be zero; and
 
  C = the amount in cash per share that the Company distributes to holders of Common Shares.
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the record date for such dividend or distribution; provided that if the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one Common Share is equal to or greater than SP0 above, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Noteholder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Note (or any portion thereof) the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder owned a number of shares equal to the Conversion Rate on the record date. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
          For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 8.04(d), in the event of any reclassification of the Common Shares, as a result of which the Notes become convertible into more than one class of Common Shares, if an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to this Section 8.04(d), references in this Section to one Common Share or Last Reported Sale Price of one Common Share shall be deemed to refer to a unit or to the price of a unit consisting of the number of shares of each class of Common Shares into which the Notes are then convertible equal to the number of shares of such class issued in respect of one Common Share in such reclassification. The above provisions of this paragraph shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications.

23


 

               (e) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for all or any portion of the Common Shares, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per Common Share exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Shares on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
                 
 
  CR¢ = CR0   x   AC + (SP¢ x OS¢)    
 
           
 
      SP¢ x OS0    
          where
  CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect on the date such tender or exchange offer expires;
 
  CR¢ = the Conversion Rate in effect on the day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;
 
  AC = the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Trustees) paid or payable for shares purchased in such tender or exchange offer;
 
  OS0 = the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires;
 
  OS¢ = the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires; and
 
  SP¢ = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Shares over the ten consecutive Trading Day period commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires,
such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer. If the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting all or any such purchases or all or any portion of such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made or had only been made in respect of the purchases that had been effected. No adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made if the application of the foregoing formulae would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate.
               (f) For purposes of this Section 8.04 the term “record date” shall mean, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the

24


 

holders of Common Shares have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the Common Shares (or other applicable security) is converted for or converted into any combination of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such cash, securities or other property (whether such date is fixed by the Board of Trustees or by statute, contract or otherwise).
               (g) In addition to those required by clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), and (e) of this Section 8.04, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 days if the Board of Trustees determines that such increase would be in the Company’s best interest. In addition, the Company may also (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Shares or rights to purchase Common Shares in connection with any dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) or similar event. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall mail to the Holder of each Note at his last address appearing on the Security Register a notice of the increase at least five 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.
               (h) All calculations and other determinations under this Article VIII shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000) of a share, as the case may be. No adjustment shall be made for the Company’s issuance of Common Shares or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares, or the right to purchase Common Shares or such convertible or exchangeable securities, other than as provided in this Section 8.04. No adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Rate unless such adjustment would require a change of at least 1% in the Conversion Rate then in effect at such time. The Company shall carry forward any adjustments that are less than 1% of the Conversion Rate and make such carried forward adjustments, regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than 1% within one year of the first such adjustment carried forward, upon a Fundamental Change, upon any call of the Notes for redemption or upon maturity.
               (i) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. The Trustee and Conversion Agent may conclusively rely on the accuracy of the Conversion Rate adjustment provided by the Company. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to the Holder of each Note at his last address appearing on the Security Register, within thirty (30) days of the effective date of such adjustment. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

25


 

               (j) For purposes of this Section 8.04, the number of Common Shares 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 Common Shares.
          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.04, in no event will the total number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion exceed 74.6268 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (subject to adjustment in the same manner or as set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 8.04).
          Section 8.05 Shares to be Fully Paid. Subject to Section 8.02(k), the Company shall provide, free from preemptive rights, sufficient Common Shares to provide for conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for conversion.
          Section 8.06 Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. If any of the following events occur, namely (i) any reclassification or change of the outstanding Common Shares (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a split, subdivision or combination), (ii) any consolidation, merger or combination of the Company with another Person, or (iii) any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company to any other Person, in each case as a result of which holders of Common Shares shall be entitled to receive stock, other securities or other property, assets or cash (or any combination thereof) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Shares (any such event a “Reorganization Event”), then:
               (a) the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which, as evidenced in an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee, shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture if such supplemental indenture is then required to so comply) providing for the conversion and settlement of the Notes as set forth in this Tenth Supplemental Indenture. Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article and the Trustee may conclusively rely on the determination by the Company of the equivalency of such adjustments. If, in the case of any Reorganization Event, the Reference Property includes shares of stock or other securities and assets of a corporation other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other corporation and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Notes as the Board of Trustees shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including to the extent required by the Board of Trustees and practicable the provisions providing for the repurchase rights set forth in Article 9 herein.
          In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 8.06, the Company shall, in addition to the Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel required by Section 102 of the Base Indenture, file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or asset that will constitute the

26


 

Reference Property after any such Reorganization Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, and the Trustee shall promptly mail notice thereof to all Noteholders.
               (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.02(a), and subject to the provisions of Section 8.01, at the effective time of such Reorganization Event, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes will be changed to a right to convert such Note by reference to the kind and amount of stock, other securities or other property, assets or cash (or any combination thereof) that such holder of Notes would have owned immediately after such Reorganization Event if such holder had converted their Notes immediately prior to such Reorganization Event (the “Reference Property”). For purposes of the foregoing, where a Reorganization Event involves consideration based upon any form of stockholder election, the consideration will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Shares that affirmatively make such an election. The Company shall not become a party to any such transaction unless its terms are consistent with the preceding. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder of Notes to convert its Notes in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII hereof prior to the effective date of a Reorganization Event. For the avoidance of doubt, adjustments to the Conversion Rate set forth under Section 8.04 do not apply to distributions to the extent that the right to convert Notes has been changed into the right to convert into Reference Property.
               (c) The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Noteholder, at his address appearing on the Security Register, within thirty (30) days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.
               (d) The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Reorganization Events.
          Section 8.07 Certain Covenants. The Company covenants that all Common Shares delivered upon conversion of Notes will be fully paid and non-assessable by the Company and free from all taxes, liens and changes with respect to the issue thereof.
          Section 8.08 Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Noteholder to determine the Conversion Rate or whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any Common Shares, or of any securities or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note; and the Trustee and any other Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to transfer or deliver any Common Shares or share certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article.

27


 

          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 8.06 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Noteholders upon the conversion of their Notes after any event referred to in such Section 8.06 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Article Six of the Base Indenture, may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto.
          Section 8.09 Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions.
          In case:
               (a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Shares that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 8.04; or
               (b) the Company shall authorize the granting to all of the holders of its Common Shares of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of any class or any other rights or warrants;
               (c) of any reclassification of the Common Shares of the Company (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Shares, or a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any shareholders of the Company is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
               (d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company,
the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and to be mailed to each Noteholder at his address appearing on the Security Register as promptly as possible but in any event at least thirty (30) days prior to the applicable date specified in clause (x) or (y) below, as the case may be, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Shares of record shall be entitled to convert their Common Shares for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such dividend, distribution, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.

28


 

          Section 8.10 Shareholder Rights Plans. Upon conversion of the Notes, the Holders shall receive, in addition to any Common Shares issuable upon such conversion, the associated rights issued under any future shareholder rights plan the Company adopts unless, prior to conversion, the rights have separated from the Common Shares, expired, terminated or been redeemed or converted in accordance with such rights plan. If, and only if, the Holders receive rights under such shareholder rights plans as described in the preceding sentence upon conversion of their Notes, then no other adjustment pursuant to this Article VIII shall be made in connection with such shareholder rights plans.
          Section 8.11 Ownership Limit. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Tenth Supplemental Indenture or the Notes (a) no Holder of Notes (or beneficial owner of Notes) shall be entitled to convert such Notes for Common Shares to the extent that receipt of such shares would cause such Holder (or beneficial owner of Notes) (together with such Holder’s (or beneficial owner’s) affiliates) to exceed the applicable ownership limit contained in the declaration of trust of the Company and (b) no Holder of Notes (or beneficial owner of Notes) shall have any right to receive cash or other consideration in lieu of Common Shares upon conversion of the Notes to the extent such conversion would otherwise cause (if fully converted into Common Shares) such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates) to exceed such ownership limit; provided that any such Holder shall be entitled to receive on the same basis as other Holders cash paid upon redemption or a repurchase upon a Fundamental Change.
ARTICLE IX
REPURCHASE OF NOTES AT OPTION OF HOLDERS
          Section 9.01 Intentionally Omitted.
          Section 9.02 Repurchase at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change.
               (a) If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time, then each Noteholder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase all of such Holder’s Notes or any portion thereof that is a multiple of $1,000 principal amount, for cash on the date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) specified by the Company that is not less than twenty (20) Business Days and not more than thirty-five (35) Business Days after the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice (as defined below) at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”).
          Repurchases of Notes under this Section 9.02 shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:
               (i) delivery to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by a Holder of a duly completed notice (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note prior to the close of business on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; and

29


 

               (ii) delivery or book-entry transfer of the Notes to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) at any time after delivery of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements) at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) in the Borough of Manhattan, such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor; provided that such Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 9.02 only if the Note so delivered to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall conform in all respects to the description thereof in the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.
The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice shall state:
               (A) if certificated, the certificate numbers of Notes to be delivered for repurchase;
               (B) the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased, which must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and
               (C) that the Notes are to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and this Tenth Supplemental Indenture.
          Any repurchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.02 shall be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be received by the Holder promptly following the later of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and the time of the book-entry transfer or delivery of the Note.
          The Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.02(c).
          Any Note that 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 Note without service charge, a new Note or Notes, 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 Note so surrendered.
               (b) On or before the twentieth day after the occurrence of any Fundamental Change, the Company shall provide to all Holders of record of the Notes and the Trustee and Paying Agent a notice (the “Fundamental Change Company Notice”) of the occurrence of such Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof. Such mailing shall be by first class mail. Simultaneously with providing such Fundamental Change Company Notice, the Company shall publish a notice

30


 

containing the information included therein once in a newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York or publish such information on the Company’s website or through such other public medium as the Company may use at such time.
          Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:
               (i) the events causing the Fundamental Change;
               (ii) the date of the Fundamental Change;
               (iii) that the Holder must exercise the repurchase right on or prior to the close of business on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;
               (iv) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;
               (v) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;
               (vi) the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent;
               (vii) the applicable Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the applicable Conversion Rate;
               (viii) that the Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been delivered by a Holder may be converted only if the Holder withdraws the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with the terms of this Tenth Supplemental Indenture; and
               (ix) the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to repurchase their Notes.
          No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Noteholders’ repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section 9.02.
               (c) A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Trustee and Paying Agent in accordance with the Fundamental Change Company Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, specifying:
               (i) the principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted;
               (ii) if certificated Notes have been issued, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn Notes; and

31


 

               (iii) the principal amount, if any, of such Notes that remains subject to the original Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, which portion must be in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000;
provided, however, that if the Notes are not in certificated form, the notice must comply with appropriate procedures of the Depositary.
          (d) On or prior to 11:00 a.m. (local time in The City of New York) on the second Business Day following the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company or if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust in accordance with the Base Indenture as modified by this Tenth Supplemental Indenture) an amount of money sufficient to repurchase on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date all of the Notes to be repurchased on such date at the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Subject to receipt of funds and/or Notes by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company), payment for Notes surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) prior to the close of business on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date will be made promptly after the later of (x) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date with respect to such Note (provided the Holder has satisfied the conditions to the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in Section 9.02), and (y) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of such Note to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 9.02 by mailing checks for the amount payable to the Holders of such Notes entitled thereto as they shall appear in the Security Register, provided, however, that payments to the Depositary shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. The Trustee shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.
          (e) If the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) holds money or securities sufficient to repurchase on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date all the Notes or portions thereof that are to be purchased as of the second Business Day following the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, then on and after the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (i) such Notes will cease to be Outstanding, (ii) interest will cease to accrue on such Notes, and (iii) all other rights of the Holders of such Notes will terminate, whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes has been made or the Notes have been delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent, other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price upon delivery of the Notes.
          (f) The provisions of Article Thirteen of the Base Indenture shall not be applicable to the Notes.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]
PROLOGIS
3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2015
          This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company, designated as its 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2015 (herein called the “Securities”), issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of March 1, 1995, as supplemented with respect to the Securities by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 2, 2005, the Ninth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 1, 2009 and the Tenth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 16, 2010 (as so supplemented, herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association (herein called the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Securities. Additional Securities may be issued in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture.
          In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of and interest on all Securities may be declared, and upon said declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
          Prior to March 15, 2015, the Company may not redeem the Securities except to preserve the Company’s status as a real estate investment trust as described in Section 3.01 of the Tenth Supplemental Indenture. Any such redemption shall be upon at least 30 days’ and no more than 60 days’ notice to Holders of the Securities.
          Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make all payments and deliveries in respect of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, the Redemption Price and the principal amount on the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the Holder who surrenders a Security to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Security. The Company will pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
          The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of the Securities, and in other circumstances, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall make any of the changes set forth in Section 6.02 of the Tenth Supplemental Indenture, without the consent of each Holder of an Outstanding Security affected thereby. It is

Exh. A-5


 

also provided in the Indenture that, prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of the Securities, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities waive any past default or Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences except as provided in the Indenture. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this Security and any Securities which may be issued in exchange or substitution hereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation thereof is made upon this Security or such other Securities.
          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 and accrued and unpaid interest on this Security at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the lawful money herein prescribed.
          The Securities are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples thereof. At the office or agency of the Company referred to on the face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without payment of any service charge but with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration or exchange of Securities, Securities may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of other authorized denominations.
          The Securities are not subject to redemption through the operation of any sinking fund. Section 1004, Section 1006, Section 1007 and Section 1011 of the Indenture shall not apply to the Securities.
          Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Holder has the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase all of such Holder’s Securities or any portion thereof (in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof) on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities such holder elects to require the Company to repurchase, together with accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The Company or, at the written request of the Company, the Trustee shall mail to all Holders of record of the Securities a notice of the occurrence of a Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right arising as a result thereof on or before the twentieth day after the occurrence of any Fundamental Change.
          Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder hereof has the right, at its option, at any time prior to the close of business on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, to convert any Securities or portion thereof which is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, into Common Shares at the Conversion Rate specified in the Indenture, as adjusted from time to time as provided in the Indenture, upon surrender of this Security, together with a Notice of Conversion, a form of which is attached to this Security, as provided in the Indenture and this Security, to the Company at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York or elsewhere as provided in the Indenture, and, unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as this Security, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the Holder or by his duly authorized attorney. The initial

Exh. A-6


 

Conversion Rate is 57.8503 shares for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities. No fractional Common Shares will be issued upon any conversion, but an adjustment in cash will be paid to the Holder, as provided in the Indenture, in respect of any fraction of a share which would otherwise be issuable upon the surrender of any Security or Securities for conversion. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or any shares issued upon conversion of such Security except as provided in the Indenture.
          Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Security at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations for an equal aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange thereof, subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without charge except for any tax, assessments or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.
          The Company, the Trustee, any authenticating agent, any Paying Agent, any Conversion Agent and any Security Registrar may deem and treat the registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner of this Security (whether or not this Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon), for the purpose of receiving payment hereof, or on account hereof, for the conversion hereof and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any other authenticating agent nor any Paying Agent nor any other Conversion Agent nor any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All payments made to or upon the order of such registered Holder shall, to the extent of the sum or sums paid, satisfy and discharge liability for monies payable on this Security.
          No recourse for the payment of the principal of, or accrued and unpaid interest on, this Security, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, 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, trustee, 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 the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.
          Terms used in this Security and defined in the Indenture are used herein as therein defined.
          Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TENANT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform gift to Minors Act).
