Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.01.                              Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 25, 2007, SunPower Corporation (“SunPower” or the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Debenture Underwriting Agreement”) with Lehman Brothers Inc. and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters listed on Schedule A thereto (the “Debenture Underwriters”) providing for the offer and sale by the Company of $200.0 million principal amount of 0.75% Senior Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”), with an option in favor of the Debenture Underwriters for the purchase of up to an additional $25.0 million principal amount of Debentures in certain circumstances (the “Debenture Transaction”).  The Debentures will be issued under an indenture, dated February 7, 2007 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a second supplemental indenture, to be executed at the closing of the Debenture transaction, and substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”) between the Company and the Trustee.  The Indenture provides, among other things, that the Debentures will be senior unsecured obligations of the Company.

Interest is payable on the Debentures on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2008.  The Debentures are convertible at certain times and under certain circumstances and, if not earlier converted, mature on August 1, 2027.  In the event of certain Events of Default (as defined in the Indenture), such as the Company’s failure to make certain payments or perform or observe certain obligations thereunder, the Trustee or holders of a specified amount of then-outstanding Debentures will have the right to declare all amounts then outstanding due and payable.

The closing of the Debenture Transaction is expected to occur on July 31, 2007.

The foregoing description of the material terms of the Debentures and the Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Base Indenture, which has previously been filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Supplemental Indenture, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by this reference.

On July 25, 2007, the Company also entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Equity Underwriting Agreement”) with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Lehman Brothers Inc. as representatives of the several underwriters listed on Schedule A thereto (the “Equity Underwriters”) providing for the offer and sale by the Company of 2.45 million shares of its class A common stock at $64.50 per share (the “Common Stock”).  SunPower has also granted to the Equity Underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 245,000 shares of Common Stock in certain circumstances.  The closing of the Common Stock transaction is expected to occur on July 31, 2007.

Also on July 25, 2007, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Borrowed Shares Underwriting Agreement” and, together with the Debenture Underwriting Agreement and the Equity Underwriting Agreement, the “Underwriting Agreements”) with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (the “Borrowed Shares Underwriter” and, together with the Debenture Underwriters and the Equity Underwriters, the “Underwriters”) and Credit Suisse

International (“CSI”).  Under the terms of the Borrowed Shares Underwriting Agreement and the related Share Lending Agreement described below, the Company will issue and deliver to CSI 1,800,000 shares (the “Borrowed Shares”) of its class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, in exchange for a nominal lending fee.  The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Borrowed Shares, although it will receive a nominal lending fee from CSI of $0.001 per Borrowed Share.  The Borrowed Shares Underwriting Agreement and the Share Lending Agreement contemplate that CSI or one of its affiliates will use the Borrowed Shares to facilitate hedging transactions undertaken by purchasers of Debentures, as well as investors in certain of the Company’s other securities.  The closing of the Borrowed Shares transaction is expected to occur on July 31, 2007.

The Underwriting Agreements include representations, warranties and covenants by the Company customary for agreements of this nature.  They also provide for customary indemnification by each of the Company and the Underwriters against certain liabilities arising out of or in connection with the sale of the Debentures, the Common Stock, or the Borrowed Shares, as applicable, and customary contribution provisions in respect of those liabilities.

The foregoing description of the material terms of each of the Underwriting Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Debenture Underwriting Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated herein by this reference, the Equity Underwriting Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.2 and is incorporated herein by this reference, and the Borrowed Shares Underwriting Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.3 and is incorporated herein by this reference, respectively. 

Also on July 25, 2007, and in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Borrowed Shares Underwriting Agreement, the Company entered into a share lending agreement (the “CSI Share Lending Agreement”) with the Borrowed Shares Underwriter, as agent, and CSI, as principal.  Under this agreement, the Company agreed to loan to CSI 1,800,000 Borrowed Shares on the date of issuance of the Debentures.  As described above, the Company will receive a nominal lending fee of $0.001 per share from CSI for the use of these shares.

Share loans under the CSI Share Lending Agreement will terminate and the Borrowed Shares must be returned to the Company upon the termination of the loan availability period (as defined in the CSI Share Lending Agreement), as well as under the following circumstances:

·                  CSI may terminate all or any portion of a loan at any time;

·                  the Company may terminate any or all of the outstanding loans upon a default by CSI under the CSI Share Lending Agreement, including a breach by CSI of any of its representations and warranties, covenants or agreements thereunder, or the bankruptcy of CSI; or

3




·                  if the Company enters into a merger or similar business combination transaction with an unaffiliated third party (as defined in the CSI Share Lending Agreement).

In addition, CSI has agreed to return to the Company any Borrowed Shares in its possession on the date anticipated to be five business days before the closing of a merger or similar business combination transaction intended to qualify as a reorganization under section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code to which the Company or an affiliate is a party and upon consummation of which it is reasonably expected that at least 80% of the Company’s capital stock (or that of the surviving corporation if the Company is acquired) will be held by non-affiliates of the Company or of such surviving corporation.  Except in certain limited circumstances, any Borrowed Shares returned to the Company cannot be reborrowed.

Shares loaned to CSI are issued and outstanding for corporate law purposes and, accordingly, the holders of the Borrowed Shares have all of the rights of a holder of the Company’s outstanding class A common stock, including the right to vote the shares on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders and the right to receive any dividends or other distributions that the Company may pay or make on its outstanding shares of class A common stock.  However, under the CSI Share Lending Agreement, CSI has agreed:

·                  to pay to the Company an amount equal to any cash dividends that the Company pays on the Borrowed Shares, and

·                  to pay or deliver to the Company any other distribution, in liquidation or otherwise, that the Company makes on the Borrowed Shares.

In view of the contractual undertakings of CSI in the CSI Share Lending Agreement, which have the effect of substantially eliminating the economic dilution that otherwise would result from the issuance of the Borrowed Shares, the Company believes that under U.S. GAAP as presently in effect, the Borrowed Shares will not be considered outstanding for the purpose of computing and reporting its earnings per share.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowed Shares will nonetheless be issued and outstanding and will be eligible for trading on The Nasdaq Global Market.

CSI has agreed that it, or its affiliates, will use the Borrowed Shares initially to facilitate the establishment by investors in the Debentures, the Company’s presently outstanding 1.25% Debentures (defined below) and, with the Company’s consent, other securities that the Company may issue in the future, of hedged positions in such securities through purchases of class A common stock from such investors in short sale transactions or through the entry into privately negotiated derivative transactions with those investors.  In addition, CSI and its affiliates may engage in such transactions with respect to any such securities at any time and from time to time during the term of the Share Lending Agreement in share amounts to be determined by CSI and such affiliates.  Up to 400,000 of the Borrowed Shares may be offered on a delayed basis for this purpose.

The foregoing description of the material terms of the CSI Share Lending Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the CSI Share Lending Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by this reference.

The offering of Debentures was registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and is being made pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, Registration No. 333-140272 (the “Registration Statement”) and the prospectus dated January 29, 2007 included therein, the preliminary prospectus supplement relating thereto dated July 19, 2007 and the final prospectus supplement relating thereto dated July 25, 2007.  The offering of the Common Stock and the Borrowed Shares was registered under the Securities Act and is being made pursuant to the Registration Statement and the prospectus dated January 29, 2007 included therein, the preliminary prospectus supplement relating thereto dated July 19, 2007 and the final prospectus supplement relating thereto dated July 25, 2007.

In connection with the foregoing transactions, on July 25, 2007, the Company, Lehman Brothers Inc. and Lehman Brothers International (Europe) Limited (“LBIE”) entered into an agreement (the “Amended LBIE Agreement”) amending and restating that certain Share Lending Agreement dated February 2, 2007 (the “LBIE Share Lending Agreement”).  In connection with the Company’s issuance in February 2007 of an aggregate of $200 million principal amount of 1.25% senior convertible debentures due 2027, (the “1.25% Debentures”), the Company lent to LBIE, an affiliate of Lehman Brothers Inc., an aggregate of 2,947,132 shares of class A common stock in order to facilitate the establishment by investors in those debentures of hedged positions in the

4




Company’s class A common stock. Under the LBIE Share Lending Agreement, LBIE was entitled to offer up to 1,000,000 of those shares on a delayed basis only to facilitate hedging arrangements for subsequent purchasers of the 1.25% Debentures.  Pursuant to the Amended LBIE Agreement, any of the 1,000,000 shares that remain in LBIE’s possession (the “LBIE Borrowed Shares”) may be used to facilitate hedging arrangements for subsequent purchasers not only of the 1.25% Debentures, but also subsequent purchasers of the Debentures and, with the Company’s consent, purchasers of securities it may issue in the future.  Additionally, LBIE has agreed to return any unused LBIE Borrowed Shares prior to the expiration of the LBIE Share Lending Agreement in the event of specified transactions.

The foregoing description of the material terms of the LBIE Share Lending Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the LBIE Share Lending Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and is incorporated herein by this reference.

(ii)                                  The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement,” as defined in Rule 405, that initially became effective within three years of the Closing Date (as defined in Section 3)  If immediately prior to the Renewal Deadline (as hereinafter defined), any of the Offered Securities remain unsold by the Underwriters, the Company will prior to the Renewal Deadline file, if it has not already done so and is eligible to do so, a new automatic shelf registration statement relating to the Offered Securities, in a form satisfactory to Lehman Brothers Inc. (“Lehman Brothers”) and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“CS”).  If the Company is no longer eligible to file an automatic shelf registration statement, the Company will prior to the Renewal Deadline, if it has not already done so, file a new shelf registration statement relating to the Offered Securities, in a form satisfactory to Lehman Brothers and CS, and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within 180 days after the Renewal Deadline.  The Company will take all other action necessary or appropriate to permit the public offering and sale of the Offered Securities to continue as contemplated in the expired registration statement relating to the Offered Securities.  References herein to the Registration Statement shall include such new automatic shelf registration statement or such new shelf registration statement, as the case may be.  “Renewal Deadline” means the third anniversary of the initial effective time of the Registration Statement.

3

(e)                                  The Company has paid or shall pay the required Commission filing fees relating to the Offered Securities within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1) without regard to the proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r).

(f)                                    As of the Applicable Time and of the Closing Date (as defined below), neither (A) the General Use Issuer Free Writing Prospectus(es) issued at or prior to the Applicable Time, the last Statutory Prospectus filed before the Applicable Time and the information set forth in Schedule B to this Agreement, all considered together (collectively, the “General Disclosure Package”), nor (B) any individual Limited Use Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, when considered together with the General Disclosure Package, included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 8(b) hereof.

(g)                                 Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of its issue date and at all subsequent times through the completion of the public offer and sale of the Offered Securities or until any earlier date that the Company notified or notifies Lehman Brothers and CS as described in the next sentence, did not, does not and will not include any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information then contained in the Registration Statement.  If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information then contained in the Registration Statement or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, (i) the Company has promptly notified or will promptly notify Lehman Brothers and CS and (ii) the Company has promptly amended or supplemented or will promptly amend or supplement such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.  The foregoing two sentences do not apply to statements in or omissions from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 8(b) hereof.

(h)                                 The documents incorporated by reference in any Statutory Prospectus or the Final Prospectus did not, and any further documents filed and incorporated by reference therein

4

3.                                       Purchase, Sale and Delivery of Offered Securities.  On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to sell to the Underwriters, and the Underwriters agree, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company, at a purchase price of 98.0% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest from July 31, 2007 to the First Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), the respective principal amounts of Firm Securities set forth opposite the names of the Underwriters in Schedule A hereto.

The Company will deliver the Firm Securities to the Representatives for the accounts of the Underwriters against payment of the purchase price in Federal (same day) funds by official bank check or checks or wire transfer to an account at a bank acceptable to Lehman Brothers and CS drawn to the order of the Company, at the office of Jones Day, 1755 Embarcadero Road, Palo Alto, CA 94304, at 9:00 A.M., New York time, on July 31, 2007, or at such other time not later than seven full business days thereafter as Lehman Brothers and CS and the Company determine, such time being herein referred to as the “First Closing Date”.  For purposes of Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, the First Closing Date (if later than the otherwise applicable settlement date) shall be the settlement date for payment of funds and delivery of securities for all the Offered Securities sold pursuant to the offering.  The Firm Securities so to be delivered will be in the form of one or more permanent global Securities in definitive form, in such denominations and registered in such names as Lehman Brothers and CS request and will be made available for checking and packaging at the above office of Jones Day at least 24 hours prior to the First Closing Date.  The Company shall deliver the Firm Securities through the facilities of the Depositary Trust Company (“DTC”) unless Lehman Brothers or CS shall otherwise instruct.

In addition, upon written notice from Lehman Brothers and CS given to the Company from time to time not more than 30 days subsequent to the date of the Final Prospectus, the Underwriters may purchase all or less than all of the Optional Securities at the purchase price per principal amount of the Firm Securities (including any accrued interest thereon to the related Optional Closing Date).  The Company agrees to sell to the Underwriters the principal amount of Optional Securities specified in such notice and the Underwriters agree, severally and not jointly, to purchase such Optional Securities.  Such Optional Securities shall be purchased for the account of each Underwriter in the same proportion as the principal amount of Firm Securities set forth opposite such Underwriter’s name bears to the total principal amount of Firm Securities (subject to adjustment by Lehman Brothers and CS to eliminate fractions) and may be purchased by the Underwriters only for the purpose of covering over-allotments made in connection with the sale of the Firm Securities. No Optional Securities shall be sold or delivered unless the Firm Securities previously have been, or simultaneously are, sold and delivered.  The right to purchase the Optional Securities or any portion thereof may be exercised from time to time and to the extent not previously exercised may be surrendered and terminated at any time upon notice by Lehman Brothers and CS to the Company.

Each time for the delivery of and payment for the Optional Securities, being herein referred to as an “Optional Closing Date”, which may be the First Closing Date (the First Closing Date and each Optional Closing Date, if any, being sometimes referred to as a “Closing Date”), shall be determined by Lehman Brothers and CS but shall be not later than five full business days after written notice of election to purchase Optional Securities is given.  The Company will deliver the Optional Securities being purchased

11




on each Optional Closing Date to the Representatives for the accounts of the several Underwriters, against payment of the purchase price therefor in Federal (same day) funds by official bank check or checks or wire transfer to an account at a bank acceptable to Lehman Brothers and CS drawn to the order of the Company, at the above office of Jones Day.  The Optional Securities being purchased on each Optional Closing Date will be in the form of one or more permanent global Securities in definitive form, in such denominations and registered in such names as Lehman Brothers and CS request upon reasonable notice prior to such Optional Closing Date and will be made available for checking and packaging at the above office of Jones Day at a reasonable time in advance of such Optional Closing Date.  The Company shall deliver the Optional Securities through the facilities of DTC unless Lehman Brothers and CS shall otherwise instruct.

4.                                       Offering by Underwriters.  It is understood that the several Underwriters propose to offer the Offered Securities for sale to the public as set forth in the Final Prospectus.

5.                                       Certain Agreements of the Company.  The Company agrees, with the several Underwriters that:

(a)                                  The Company has filed or will file each Statutory Prospectus (including the Final Prospectus) pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 424(b)(2) (or, if applicable and consented to by Lehman Brothers and CS, subparagraph (5)) not later than the second business day following the earlier of the date it is first used or the date of this Agreement.  The Company has complied and will comply with Rule 433.

(b)                                 Prior to 90 days after the last Closing Date, the Company will promptly advise Lehman Brothers and CS of any proposal to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or any Statutory Prospectus (including any document incorporated by reference therein) at any time and will afford Lehman Brothers and CS a reasonable opportunity to comment on any such proposed amendment or supplement and will not effect such amendment or supplementation without the consent of Lehman Brothers and CS (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) and the Company will also advise Lehman Brothers and CS promptly of (1) the filing of any such amendment or supplement, (2) any request by the Commission or its staff for any amendment to any Registration Statement, for any supplement to any Statutory Prospectus (including any document incorporated by reference therein) or for any additional information, (3) the institution by the Commission of any stop order proceedings in respect of a Registration Statement or the threatening of any proceeding for that purpose, and (4) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Offered Securities in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceedings for such purpose.  The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or the suspension of any such qualification and obtain as soon as possible its lifting, if issued.

(c)                                  If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Offered Securities is (or for the exemption in Rule 172 under the Act would be) required to be delivered under the Act in connection with sales by any Underwriter or dealer, any event occurs as a result of which the Final Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would 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, or if it is necessary at any time to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Final Prospectus to comply with the Act, the Company will promptly notify Lehman Brothers and CS of such event and will promptly prepare and file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and dealers and any other dealers upon request of Lehman Brothers and CS an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or an amendment which will effect such compliance.  Neither Lehman Brothers and CS’ consent to, nor the Underwriters’ delivery of, any such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.

(d)                                 As soon as practicable, but not later than 16 months, after the date of this

12




Agreement, the Company will make generally available to its securityholders an earnings statement covering a period of at least 12 months beginning after the date of this Agreement and satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158.

The Company will pay the expenses of printing and distributing to the Underwriters all such documents.

(f)                                    The Company will arrange for the qualification of the Offered Securities for sale and the determination of their eligibility for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as Lehman Brothers and CS designates and will continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution.

(g)                                 During the period of five years after the date of this Agreement, the Company will furnish to the Representatives and, upon request, to each of the other Underwriters, if any, as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year, a copy of its annual report to stockholders for such year; and the Company will furnish to the Representatives (1) as soon as available, a copy of each report and any definitive proxy statement of the Company filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act or mailed to stockholders, and (2) from time to time, such other information concerning the Company as Lehman Brothers and CS may reasonably request.  However, so long as the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of either Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and is timely filing reports with the Commission on its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (“EDGAR”), it is not required to furnish such reports or statements to the Underwriters.

15




(A)                              the unaudited financial statements included in the Registration Statement or the General Disclosure Package do not comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act and the related published Rules and Regulations or any material modifications should be made to such unaudited financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. GAAP;

(B)                                the unaudited consolidated net sales, net operating income, net income and net income per share amounts for the three-month periods ended April 2, 2006 and April 1, 2007, included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement do not agree with the amounts set forth in the unaudited consolidated financial statements for those same periods or were not determined on a basis substantially consistent with that of the corresponding amounts in the audited statements of income;

8.                                       Indemnification and Contribution.  (a)  The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, its partners, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, other Federal or state statutory law or regulation or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any part of the Registration Statement, any Statutory Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or, in each case, arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission, of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable 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 in or omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives, if any, specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in subsection (b) below.

(b)                                 Each Underwriter will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and each of its officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each an “Underwriter Indemnified Party”), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Underwriter Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, other Federal or state statutory law or regulation or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any part of any Registration Statement, any Statutory Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission of 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 Underwriter through the Representatives, if any, specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information in the Final Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: the concession figures appearing in the fourth paragraph under the caption “Underwriting” and the information contained in the eleventh and twelfth paragraphs, the third sentence of the fifteenth paragraph, the sixteenth and seventeenth paragraphs and the first sentence of the nineteenth paragraph under the caption “Underwriting”.

(c)                                  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above.  In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party

19




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, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action 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 an indemnified party.

(d)                                 If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a), (b) or (c) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Offered Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, or the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission.  The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d).  Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Offered Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

(e)                                  The obligations of the Company under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each director of the Company, to each officer of the Company who has signed a Registration Statement and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act.

20




9.                                       Default of Underwriters.  If any Underwriter or Underwriters default in their obligations to purchase Offered Securities hereunder on either the First Closing Date or any Optional Closing Date and the aggregate principal amount of Offered Securities that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total principal amount of Offered Securities that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on such Closing Date, Lehman Brothers and CS may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the purchase of such Offered Securities by other persons, including any of the Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by such Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the Offered Securities that such defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such Closing Date.  If any Underwriter or Underwriters so default and the aggregate principal amount of Offered Securities with respect to which such default or defaults occur exceeds 10% of the total principal amount of Offered Securities that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on such Closing Date and arrangements satisfactory to Lehman Brothers and CS and the Company for the purchase of such Offered Securities by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except as provided in Section 10 (provided that if such default occurs with respect to Optional Securities after the First Closing Date, this Agreement will not terminate as to the Firm Securities or any Optional Securities purchased prior to such termination). As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

10.                                 Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations.  The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Company or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities.  If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9 or if for any reason the purchase of the Offered Securities by the Underwriters is not consummated, the Company shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by them pursuant to Section 5 and the respective obligations of the Company and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 8 shall remain in effect, and if any Offered Securities have been purchased hereunder the representations and warranties in Section 2 and all obligations under Section 5 shall also remain in effect. If the purchase of the Offered Securities by the Underwriters is not consummated for any reason other than solely because of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9 or the occurrence of any event specified in clause (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii) or (viii) of Section 7(d), the Company will reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by them in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities.

11.                                 Notices.  All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if sent to the Underwriters, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to the Representatives c/o Lehman Brothers Inc., 745 Seventh Avenue, New York, NY 10019-6801, Attention: Syndicate Registration (Fax: 646-497-4815) with a copy, in the case of any notice pursuant to Section 8, to the Director of Litigation, Office of the General Counsel, Lehman Brothers Inc., 399 Park Avenue, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10022 (Fax: 212-520-0421) and c/o Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Eleven Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10010-3629, Attention:  Transactions Advisory Group, or, if sent to the Company, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to it at 3939 North First Street, San Jose, California 95134 (Fax: 408-240-5400), Attention:  Chief Financial Officer; provided, however, that any notice to an Underwriter pursuant to Section 8 will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to such Underwriter.

12.                                 Successors.  This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 8, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

13.                                 Representation of Underwriters.  The Representatives will act for the several Underwriters

21




in connection with this financing, and any action under this Agreement taken by the Representatives will be binding upon all the Underwriters.

14.                                 Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement.

15.                                 Absence of Fiduciary Relationship.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that:

(a)                                  the Representatives have been retained solely to act as underwriters in connection with the sale of the Offered Securities and no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Company and the Representatives has been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Final Prospectus, irrespective of whether the Representatives have advised or are advising the Company on other matters;

(ii)                                  (1) (A)  At the time the Registration Statement initially became effective, (B) at the time of each amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Act (whether by post-effective amendment, incorporated report or form of prospectus), (C) at the Effective Time relating to the Offered Securities and (D) on the Closing Date, the Registration Statement conformed and will conform in all respects to the requirements of the Act and the Rules and Regulations and did not and will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (2) (A) on its date, (B) at the time of filing the Final Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) and (C) on the Closing Date, the Final Prospectus will conform in all respects to the requirements of the Act and the Rules and Regulations, and will not include any 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.  The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from any such document based upon written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives, if any, specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information is that described as such in Section 8(b) hereof.

(2)  The Registration Statement is an “automatic shelf registration statement,” as defined in Rule 405, that initially became effective within three years of the Closing Date (as defined in Section 3)  If immediately prior to the Renewal Deadline (as hereinafter defined), any of the Offered Securities remain unsold by the Underwriters, the Company will prior to the Renewal Deadline file, if it has not already done so and is eligible to do so, a new automatic shelf registration statement relating to the Offered Securities, in a form satisfactory to Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (“CS”) and Lehman Brothers Inc. (“Lehman Brothers”).  If the Company is no longer eligible to file an automatic shelf registration statement, the Company will prior to the Renewal Deadline, if it has not already done so, file a new shelf registration statement relating to the Offered Securities, in a form satisfactory to CS and Lehman Brothers, and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within 180 days after the Renewal Deadline.  The Company will take all other action necessary or appropriate to permit the public offering and sale of the Offered Securities to continue as contemplated in the expired registration statement relating to the Offered Securities.  References herein to the Registration Statement shall include such new automatic shelf registration statement or such new shelf registration statement, as the case may be.  “Renewal Deadline” means the third anniversary of the initial effective time of the Registration Statement.

3




such effectiveness.  The Company will take all other action necessary or appropriate to permit the public offering and sale of the Offered Securities to continue as contemplated in the registration statement that was the subject of the Rule 401(g)(2) notice or for which the Company has otherwise become ineligible.  References herein to the Registration Statement shall include such new registration statement or post-effective amendment, as the case may be.

(v)                                 The Company has paid or shall pay the required Commission filing fees relating to the Offered Securities within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1) without regard to the proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r).

(vi)                              As of the Applicable Time and of the Closing Date (as defined below), neither (i) the General Use Issuer Free Writing Prospectus(es) issued at or prior to the Applicable Time, the last Statutory Prospectus filed before the Applicable Time and the information set forth in Schedule B to this Agreement, all considered together (collectively, the “General Disclosure Package”), nor (ii) any individual Limited Use Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, when considered together with the General Disclosure Package, included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 8(b) hereof.

(vii)                           Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as of its issue date and at all subsequent times through the completion of the public offer and sale of the Offered Securities or until any earlier date that the Company notified or notifies CS and Lehman Brothers as described in the next sentence, did not, does not and will not include any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information then contained in the Registration Statement.  If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information then contained in the Registration Statement or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, (i) the Company has promptly notified or will promptly notify CS and Lehman Brothers and (ii) the Company has promptly amended or supplemented or will promptly amend or supplement such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.  The foregoing two sentences do not apply to statements in or omissions from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 8(b) hereof.

(xiii)                          Except as disclosed in the General Disclosure Package, there are no contracts, agreements or understandings between the Company and any person granting such person the right to require the Company to file a registration statement under the Act with respect to any securities of the Company owned or to be owned by such person or to require the Company to include such securities in the securities registered pursuant to a Registration Statement or in any securities being registered pursuant to any other registration statement filed by the Company under the Act.

(xiv)                         The Company is subject to and in compliance in all material respects with the reporting requirements of Section 13 of the Exchange Act.  The Securities are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed on The Nasdaq Global Market, and the Company has taken no action designed to, or reasonably likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Securities under the Exchange Act or delisting the Securities from The Nasdaq Global Market, nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. is contemplating terminating such registration or listing.  No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing, notification or registration with, The Nasdaq Global Market is required for the listing and trading of the Offered Securities on The Nasdaq Global Market.

(xv)                            No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required to be obtained or made by the Company for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in connection with the issuance and sale of the

5




Offered Securities by the Company, except such as have been obtained and made under the Act and such as may be required under state securities laws.

(xvi)                         The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and the issuance and sale of the Offered Securities will not result in a breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under (a) any statute, any rule, regulation or order of any governmental agency or body or any court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or any of their properties, (b) any agreement or instrument to which the Company or any such subsidiary is a party or by which the Company or any such subsidiary is bound or to which any of the properties of the Company or any such subsidiary is subject, or (c) the charter or by-laws of the Company or any such subsidiary, except, in the cases of clauses (a) and (b) above, as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and the Company has full power and authority to authorize, issue and sell the Offered Securities as contemplated by this Agreement.

(xx)                              No labor dispute with the employees of the Company or any subsidiary exists or, to the knowledge of the Company, is imminent that is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(xxii)                        Except as disclosed in the General Disclosure Package, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation of any statute, any rule, regulation, decision or order of any governmental agency or body or any court, domestic or foreign, relating to the use, disposal or release of hazardous or toxic substances or relating to the protection or restoration of the environment or human exposure to hazardous or toxic substances (collectively, “Environmental Laws”), owns or operates any real property contaminated with any substance that is subject to any environmental laws, is liable for any off-site disposal or contamination pursuant to any environmental laws, or is subject to any claim or threatened action relating to any environmental laws, which violation, contamination, liability or claim would individually or in the aggregate have

6




a Material Adverse Effect or otherwise require disclosure in the General Disclosure Package; and the Company is not aware of any pending or threatened investigation which might lead to such a claim.  In the ordinary course of business, the Company (i) conducts a periodic review of the effect of Environmental Laws on its business, operations and properties, and the Company has identified and evaluated associated costs and liabilities, and any capital or operating expenditures, required for cleanup or closure of properties under, or compliance with, Environmental Laws or any permit, license or approval, any related constraints on operating activities, and any potential liabilities to third parties; and (ii) has conducted environmental investigations of, and has reviewed information regarding, its business, properties and operations, and those of other properties within the vicinity of its businesses, properties and operations; on the basis of such review and investigations, the Company has reasonably concluded that, except as disclosed in the General Disclosure Package, any costs and liabilities associated with such matters would not have a Material Adverse Effect or otherwise require disclosure in the General Disclosure Package.

(xxiii)                     Except as disclosed in the General Disclosure Package, there are no pending actions, suits, charges (by any governmental entity), investigations, requests for information (by any governmental entity) or proceedings against or affecting the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties that, if determined adversely to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, would individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect or otherwise require disclosure in the General Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus, or would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement, or which are otherwise material in the context of the sale of the Offered Securities; and no such actions, suits or proceedings are threatened or, to the Company’s knowledge, contemplated.

(xxiv)                    The financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus present fairly the financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates shown and their results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown, and such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis and the assumptions used in preparing the pro forma and as adjusted financial information included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the transactions or events described therein, the related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions, and the pro forma columns therein reflect the proper application of those adjustments to the corresponding historical financial statement amounts.  The pro forma financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of Regulation S-X under the Act.

(xxv)                       Except as disclosed in the General Disclosure Package, since the date of the Company’s latest audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the General Disclosure Package there has been no material adverse change, nor any development or event involving a prospective material adverse change, in the condition (financial or other), business, properties or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, and, except as disclosed in or contemplated by the General Disclosure Package, there has been no dividend or distribution of any kind declared, paid or made by the Company on any class of its capital stock.

(xxvi)                    All material Tax returns required to be filed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries have been filed in all jurisdictions where such returns are required to be filed, which returns are true, complete, and correct in all material respects and all Taxes shown on such returns have been paid.  All material Taxes due or claimed to be due from the Company and each of its subsidiaries have been paid, other than those (A) currently payable without penalty or interest or (B) being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and for which, in the case of both clauses

7




(A) and (B), adequate reserves have been established on the books and records of the Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  No material deficiency or adjustment for any Taxes has been threatened, proposed, asserted or assessed against the Company or any of its subsidiaries.  To the knowledge of the Company, the reserves on the books and records of the Company and its subsidiaries in respect of any Tax liability for any taxable period not finally determined are adequate to meet any assessments of Tax for any such period.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Tax” and “Taxes” shall mean all Federal, state, local and foreign taxes, and other assessments of a similar nature (whether imposed directly or through withholding), including any interest, additions to tax, or penalties applicable thereto.

(xxvii)                 The Company is not and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Offered Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the General Disclosure Package, will not be an “investment company” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

(xxviii)              Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, agent, employee or affiliate of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is aware of or has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that would result in a violation by such persons of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “FCPA”), including, without limitation, making use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization of the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise to give, or authorization of the giving of anything of value to any “foreign official” (as such term is defined in the FCPA) or any foreign political party or official thereof or any candidate for foreign political office, in contravention of the FCPA and the Company, its subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of the Company, its affiliates have conducted their businesses in compliance with the FCPA and have instituted and maintain policies and procedures designed to ensure, and which are reasonably expected to continue to ensure, continued compliance therewith and neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, agent, employee or affiliate of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or has otherwise made any bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment.

(xxix)                      The operations of the Company and its subsidiaries are and have been conducted at all times in compliance with applicable financial record keeping and reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970, as amended, the money laundering statutes of all jurisdictions, the rules and regulations thereunder and any related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency (collectively, the “Money Laundering Laws”) and no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries with respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened.

(xxx)                         As of the date of this Agreement, there is and has been no failure on the part of the Company and any of the Company’s directors or officers, in their capacities as such, to comply with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated in connection therewith (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) applicable to the Company.

(xxxi)                      Subject to the facts and risks disclosed in the General Disclosure Package with respect to clauses (B) and (D) of this paragraph, the Company and its subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (A) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations; (B) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability; (C) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (D) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and

8




appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.  The general accounting records of the Company and of each of its subsidiaries provide the basis for the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements under U.S. GAAP and have been maintained in compliance with applicable laws.  The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-14 under the Exchange Act) that are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it will file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Commission, including, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it will file or submit under the Exchange Act are accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and its principal financial officer or officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(xxxii)                   The section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies” included or incorporated by reference in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus accurately and fully describes in all material respects (A) the accounting policies that the Company believes are the most important in the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments (“Critical Accounting Policies”); (B) the judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of Critical Accounting Policies; and (C) the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions and an explanation thereof.

(xxxiii)                Except as disclosed in the General Disclosure Package, no material indebtedness (actual or contingent) and no material contract or arrangement is outstanding between the Company or any of its subsidiaries and any director or executive officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any person connected with such director or executive officer (including his/her spouse, children, and any company or undertaking in which he/she holds a controlling interest). There are no relationships or transactions between the Company or any of its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and its affiliates, officers and directors or their stockholders, customers or suppliers, on the other, which, although required to be disclosed, are not disclosed in the General Disclosure Package.

(xxxiv)               There are no material contracts or documents that are required to be described in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits thereto that have not been so described and filed as required.

(xxxvi)               Ernst & Young LLP, whose report appears in the General Disclosure Package or is incorporated by reference therein and who have delivered the letter referred to in Section 7(k) hereof, were independent public accountants with respect to PowerLight Corporation and its subsidiaries, as required by the Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

(xxxvii)            The statements set forth or incorporated by reference in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus under the caption “Description of Class A Common Stock,” insofar as they purport to constitute a summary of the material terms of the Offered Securities, fairly summarize in all material respects the matters referred to therein.

(xxxviii)         All of the Company’s options, warrants and other rights to purchase or exchange any securities for shares of the Company’s capital stock have been duly authorized and validly issued, conform to the description thereof contained or incorporated by reference in the General

3.               Purchase, Sale and Delivery of Offered Securities.  On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees to sell to the Underwriters, and the Underwriters agree, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company, at a purchase price of $62.24 per share, the respective numbers of shares of Firm Securities set forth opposite the names of the Underwriters in Schedule A hereto.

The Company will deliver the Firm Securities to the Representatives for the accounts of the Underwriters against payment of the purchase price in Federal (same day) funds by official bank check or checks or wire transfer to an account at a bank acceptable to CS and Lehman Brothers drawn to the order of the Company, at the office of Jones Day, 1755 Embarcadero Road, Palo Alto, CA 94304, at 9:00 A.M., New York time, on July 31, 2007, or at such other time not later than seven full business days thereafter as CS and Lehman Brothers and the Company determine, such time being herein referred to as the “First Closing Date”.  For purposes of Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, the First Closing Date (if later than the otherwise applicable settlement date) shall be the settlement date for payment of funds and delivery of securities for all the Offered Securities sold pursuant to the offering.  The certificates for the Firm Securities so to be delivered will be in definitive form, in such denominations and registered in such names as CS and Lehman Brothers request and will be made available for checking and packaging at the above office of Jones Day at least 24 hours prior to the First Closing Date.

In addition, upon written notice from CS and Lehman Brothers given to the Company from time to time not more than 30 days subsequent to the date of the Final Prospectus, the Underwriters may purchase all or less than all of the Optional Securities at the purchase price per Security to be paid for the Firm Securities. The Company agrees to sell to the Underwriters 245,000 Optional Securities. Such Optional Securities shall be purchased for the account of each Underwriter in the same proportion as the number of Firm Securities set forth opposite such Underwriter’s name bears to the total number of shares of Firm

10




Securities (subject to adjustment by CS and Lehman Brothers to eliminate fractions) and may be purchased by the Underwriters only for the purpose of covering over-allotments made in connection with the sale of the Firm Securities. No Optional Securities shall be sold or delivered unless the Firm Securities previously have been, or simultaneously are, sold and delivered. The right to purchase the Optional Securities or any portion thereof may be exercised from time to time and to the extent not previously exercised may be surrendered and terminated at any time upon notice by CS and Lehman Brothers to the Company.

Each time for the delivery of and payment for the Optional Securities, being herein referred to as an “Optional Closing Date”, which may be the First Closing Date (the First Closing Date and each Optional Closing Date, if any, being sometimes referred to as a “Closing Date”), shall be determined by CS and Lehman Brothers but shall be not later than five full business days after written notice of election to purchase Optional Securities is given. The Company will deliver the Optional Securities being purchased on each Optional Closing Date to the Representatives for the accounts of the several Underwriters, against payment of the purchase price therefor in Federal (same day) funds by official bank check or checks or wire transfer to an account at a bank acceptable to CS and Lehman Brothers drawn to the order of the Company, at the above office of Jones Day.  The Optional Securities being purchased on each Optional Closing Date will be in definitive form, in such denominations and registered in such names as CS and Lehman Brothers request upon reasonable notice prior to such Optional Closing Date and will be made available for checking and packaging at the above office of Jones Day at a reasonable time in advance of such Optional Closing Date.

(c)                                  If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Offered Securities is (or for the exemption in Rule 172 under the Act would be) required to be delivered under the Act in connection with sales by any Underwriter or dealer, any event occurs as a result of which the Final Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would 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

11




under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary at any time to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Final Prospectus to comply with the Act, the Company will promptly notify CS and Lehman Brothers of such event and will promptly prepare and file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters and dealers and any other dealers upon the request of CS and Lehman Brothers an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or an amendment which will effect such compliance.  Neither CS and Lehman Brothers’ consent to, nor the Underwriters’ delivery of, any such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.

(d)                                 As soon as practicable, but not later than 16 months, after the date of this Agreement, the Company will make generally available to its securityholders an earnings statement covering a period of at least 12 months beginning after the date of this Agreement and satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Act and Rule 158.

Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Company, CS and Lehman Brothers is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.”  The Company represents that it has treated and agrees that it will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, and has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including timely Commission filing where required, legending and record keeping.

(A) the unaudited financial statements included in the Registration Statement or the General Disclosure Package do not comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Act and the related published Rules and Regulations or any material modifications should be made to such unaudited financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. GAAP;

(B) the unaudited consolidated net sales, net operating income, net income and net income per share amounts for the three-month periods ended April 2, 2006 and April 1, 2007, included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement do not agree with the amounts set forth in the unaudited consolidated financial statements for those same periods or were not determined on a basis substantially consistent with that of the corresponding amounts in the audited statements of income;

(b)                                 Each Underwriter will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and each of its officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each an “Underwriter Indemnified Party”), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Underwriter Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, other Federal or state statutory law or regulation or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any part of any Registration Statement, any Statutory Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission of 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 Underwriter through the Representatives, if any, specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information in the Final Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter:  the concession and reallowance figures appearing in the fourth paragraph under the caption “Underwriting – Underwritten Equity Offering” and the information contained in the first sentence of the twelfth paragraph, the last sentence of the thirteenth paragraph, the fifteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth paragraphs under the caption “Underwriting – Underwritten Equity Offering”.

18




(c)                                  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a)  or (b) above.  In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may 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, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action 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 an indemnified party.

(d)                                 If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a), (b) or (c) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Offered Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, or the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d).  Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Offered Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person

19




who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

(e)                                  The obligations of the Company under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each director of the Company, to each officer of the Company who has signed a Registration Statement and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act.

9.                                       Default of Underwriters.  If any Underwriter or Underwriters default in their obligations to purchase Offered Securities hereunder on either the First Closing Date or any Optional Closing Date and the aggregate number of shares of Offered Securities that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total number of shares of Offered Securities that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on such Closing Date, CS and Lehman Brothers may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the purchase of such Offered Securities by other persons, including any of the Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by such Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the Offered Securities that such defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such Closing Date. If any Underwriter or Underwriters so default and the aggregate number of shares of Offered Securities with respect to which such default or defaults occur exceeds 10% of the total number of shares of Offered Securities that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on such Closing Date and arrangements satisfactory to CS and Lehman Brothers and the Company for the purchase of such Offered Securities by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except as provided in Section 10 (provided that if such default occurs with respect to Optional Securities after the First Closing Date, this Agreement will not terminate as to the Firm Securities or any Optional Securities purchased prior to such termination). As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

10.                                 Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations.  The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Company or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9 or if for any reason the purchase of the Offered Securities by the Underwriters is not consummated, the Company shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by them pursuant to Section 5 and the respective obligations of the Company and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 8 shall remain in effect, and if any Offered Securities have been purchased hereunder the representations and warranties in Section 2 and all obligations under Section 5 shall also remain in effect. If the purchase of the Offered Securities by the Underwriters is not consummated for any reason other than solely because of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9 or the occurrence of any event specified in clause (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii) or (viii) of Section 7(d), the Company will reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by them in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities.

(i)                                     The Company is duly incorporated and is an existing corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with power and authority (corporate and other) to own its properties and conduct its business as described in the General Disclosure Package; and the Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing in all other jurisdictions in which its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such

4




qualification, except for any jurisdiction where the failure to be so qualified would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or other), business, properties or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole (“Material Adverse Effect”).

(j)                                     Each subsidiary of the Company has been duly incorporated and is an existing corporation in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, with power and authority (corporate and other) to own its properties and conduct its business as described in the General Disclosure Package; and each subsidiary of the Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing in all other jurisdictions in which its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification; except for any such jurisdiction where the failure to be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect; all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each subsidiary of the Company has been duly authorized and validly issued and is fully paid and non-assessable; and the capital stock of each subsidiary owned by the Company, directly or through subsidiaries, is owned free from liens, encumbrances and defects.

(b)                                 The Underwriter and the Agent will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and each of its officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange

16




Act (each an “Underwriter Indemnified Party”), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Underwriter Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, other Federal or state statutory law or regulation or otherwise, including without limitation any of the foregoing incurred pursuant to indemnification or other provisions of other agreements, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any part of any Registration Statement, any Statutory Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission of 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 Underwriter through the Representatives, if any, specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Underwriter consists of the following information in the Final Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter:  the ninth paragraph under the heading “Description of Share Lending Agreement and Concurrent Offering of Convertible Senior Debentures” and the information contained in the second paragraph, the first, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh sentences of the third paragraph, the fourth paragraph, the first, second, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh sentences of the fifth paragraph, the first sentence in the twelfth paragraph, the thirteenth paragraph and the fourteenth paragraph under the caption “Underwriting — Borrowed Shares.”

(c)                                  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above.  In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may 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, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action 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 an indemnified party.

(d)                                 If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a), (b) or (c) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other from the offering of the Offered Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the

17




one hand and the Underwriter on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriter. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, or the Underwriter and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission.  The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d).  Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Offered Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriter’s obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

(e)                                  The obligations of the Company under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the Underwriter under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the Underwriter, the Agent and CSI may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each director of the Company, to each officer of the Company who has signed a Registration Statement and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act.

9.                                       Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations.  The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the Underwriter set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of the Underwriter, the Company or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities.  If for any reason the purchase of the Offered Securities by the Underwriter is not consummated, the Company shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by them pursuant to Section 5 and the respective obligations of the Company and the Underwriter pursuant to Section 8 shall remain in effect, and if any Offered Securities have been purchased hereunder the representations and warranties in Section 2 and all obligations under Section 5 shall also remain in effect. If the purchase of the Offered Securities by the Underwriter is not consummated for any reason other than solely because of (x) the occurrence of any event specified in clause (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii) or (viii) of Section 7(d) or (y) the condition set forth in Section 7(k) above is not satisfied as a result of the Equity and Debenture Underwriters not fulfilling their obligations under the Underwriting Agreement for the Debentures, the Company will reimburse the Underwriter for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by them in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities.

18

THIS SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE (this “Second Supplemental Indenture”), dated as of      , is between SunPower Corporation, a corporation duly organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company”), and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company and the Trustee have duly executed and delivered an Indenture, dated as of February 7, 2007 (the “Base Indenture” and together with this Second Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), to provide for the issuance by the Company from time to time of debentures, notes or other debt instruments to be issued in one or more series by the Company;

WHEREAS, the issuance and sale of up to $225,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 0.75% Senior Convertible Debentures due 2027 has been authorized by resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors;

WHEREAS, Section 9.1(e) of the Base Indenture expressly permits the Company and the Trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures for the purposes of establishing the forms and terms of any Securities to be issued under the Indenture without the consent of the Holders of any Securities then outstanding;

WHEREAS, the Company desires to supplement the provisions of the Base Indenture to provide for the issuance of the Debentures under the terms of the Base Indenture as supplemented hereby; and

WHEREAS, for the purposes hereinabove recited, and pursuant to due corporate action, the Company has duly determined to execute and deliver to the Trustee this Second Supplemental Indenture;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Trustee covenant and agree as follows:

Article 1
Definitions and Incorporation by Reference

Section 1.01           Definitions.

All terms contained in this Second Supplemental Indenture shall, except as specifically provided for herein or except as the context may otherwise require, have the meanings given to such terms in the Base Indenture. In the event of any inconsistency between the Base Indenture and the Second Supplemental Indenture, this Second Supplemental Indenture shall govern.

Unless the context otherwise requires, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Additional Debentures” has the meaning specified in Section 2.06.

“Additional Shares” has the meaning specified in Section 8.04(b).

“Applicable Consideration” has the meaning specified in Section 8.06.

“Applicable Procedures” means, with respect to any conversion, transfer or exchange of beneficial ownership interests in a Global Debenture, the rules and procedures of the Depositary, to the extent applicable to such transfer or exchange.

“Board of Directors” means the Board of Directors of the Company or, other than in the case of the definitions of “Continuing Directors” and “Fundamental Change,” any committee thereof duly authorized to act on behalf of such Board.

Each such notice of redemption shall specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of Debentures to be redeemed, (ii) the CUSIP number or numbers of the Debentures being redeemed, (iii) the date fixed for redemption (which shall be a Business Day), (iv) the redemption price at which Debentures are to be redeemed, (v) the place or places of payment and that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Debentures, (vi) that interest accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, and that on and after said date interest thereon or on the portion thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue, (vii) that the Holder has a right to convert the Debentures called for redemption, (viii) the Conversion Rate on the date of such notice, (ix) the time and date on which the right to convert such Debentures or portions thereof will expire and (x) that the Company will pay cash for fractional interests in shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion, if any, as provided in this Second Supplemental Indenture.  If fewer than all the Debentures are to be redeemed, the notice of redemption shall identify the Debentures to be redeemed (including CUSIP numbers, if any).  In case any Debentures are to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that, on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of

10




such Debentures, a new Debenture or Debentures in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.

Whenever any Debentures are to be redeemed, the Company will give the Trustee written notice of the redemption date, together with an Officers’ Certificate as to the aggregate principal amount of Debentures to be redeemed not fewer than 35 calendar days (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the redemption date.

On or prior to the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section 3.02, the Company will deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.5 of the Base Indenture) an amount of money in immediately available funds sufficient to redeem on the redemption date all the Debentures (or portions thereof) so called for redemption (other than those theretofore surrendered for conversion into cash and, if applicable, Class A Common Stock) at the appropriate redemption price, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date; provided that if such payment is made on the redemption date, it must be received by the Paying Agent, by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date.  If any Debentures called for redemption are converted pursuant hereto prior to such redemption date, any money deposited with the Paying Agent or so segregated and held in trust for the redemption of such Debentures shall be paid to the Company or, if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from such trust.

If less than all of the outstanding Debentures are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Debentures or portions thereof of the Global Debentures or the Debentures in certificated form to be redeemed (in principal amounts of $1,000 or multiples thereof) by lot, on a pro rata basis or by another method the Trustee deems fair and appropriate.  If any Debentures selected for redemption are submitted for conversion in part after such selection, the portion of such Debentures submitted for conversion shall be deemed (so far as may be possible) to be the portion to be selected for redemption.  The Debentures (or portions thereof) so selected for redemption shall be deemed duly selected for redemption for all purposes hereof, notwithstanding that any such Debentures are submitted for conversion in part before the delivery of the notice of redemption.

Upon any redemption of less than all of the outstanding Debentures, the Company and the Trustee may (but need not), solely for purposes of determining the pro rata allocation among such Debentures that are unconverted and outstanding at the time of redemption, treat as outstanding any Debentures surrendered for conversion during the period of fifteen calendar days preceding the delivery of a notice of redemption and may (but need not) treat as outstanding any Debentures authenticated and delivered during such period in exchange for the unconverted portion of any Debentures converted in part during such period.

Section 3.03           Payment of Debentures Called for Redemption.  If notice of redemption has been given as provided in Section 3.02, the Debentures or portion of Debentures with respect to which such notice has been given shall, unless converted pursuant to the terms hereof, become due and payable on the date fixed for redemption and at the place or places stated in such notice at the redemption price, plus interest accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, the redemption date (unless the redemption date is after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, in which event the interest will be paid on the Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record on the Record Date), and, unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Debentures at the redemption price, plus interest, if any, accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, such date, interest on the Debentures or portion of Debentures so called for redemption, interest shall cease to accrue on and after such date and, after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the redemption date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Debentures at the redemption price, together with interest accrued to such date) and such Debentures shall cease to be convertible and, except as provided in Section 2.5 of the Base Indenture and Section 9.02 hereof, to be entitled to any benefit or security under this Indenture, and the holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Debentures except the right to receive the redemption price thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. On presentation and surrender of such Debentures at a place of payment in said notice specified, the said Debentures or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the redemption price, together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date; provided that if the applicable redemption date is after the applicable Record Date and on or before an Interest Payment Date, the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date shall be paid on

11




such Interest Payment Date to the holders of record of such Debentures on the applicable Record Date instead of the holders surrendering such Debentures for redemption on such date.

Upon presentation of any Debentures redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Debenture or Debentures, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Debentures so presented.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not redeem any Debentures or deliver any notice of redemption during the continuance of a Default in payment of interest on the Debentures. If any Debentures called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption on the redemption date as provided in this Section 3.03, to the extent legally permissible, the redemption price shall, until paid or duly provided for, bear interest from and including the redemption date at a rate equal to 1% per annum above the rate borne by the Debentures and such Debentures shall remain convertible into cash and, if applicable, Class A Common Stock until the redemption price and interest shall have been paid or duly provided for.

Section 3.04           Repurchase at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change

(a)        If there shall occur a Fundamental Change at any time prior to the Maturity Date of the Debentures, then each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase all of such Holder’s Debentures, or any portion thereof that is a multiple of $1,000 principal amount, on a date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) specified by the Company, that is not less than 20 calendar days nor more than 35 calendar days after the date of the Company Repurchase Notice related to such Fundamental Change at a cash repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Debentures being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, subject to the satisfaction by the Holder of the requirements set forth in Section 3.04(c); provided, that if such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, then the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date shall be paid on such Interest Payment Date to the holders of record of the Debentures on the applicable Record Date instead of the holders surrendering the Debentures for repurchase on such date.

(b)        On or before the fifth calendar day after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to all holders of record of the Debentures on the date of the Fundamental Change at their addresses shown in the Register a Company Repurchase Notice as set forth in Section 3.06 with respect to such Fundamental Change.  The Company shall also deliver a copy of the Company Repurchase Notice to the Trustee and the Paying Agent at such time as it is delivered to holders of Debentures.  Concurrently with the delivery of such Company Repurchase Notice, the Company shall issue a press release announcing such Fundamental Change referred to in the Company Repurchase Notice, the form and content of which press release shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and press release and no defect therein shall limit the repurchase rights of holders of Debentures or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Debentures pursuant to this Section 3.04.

(c)        For Debentures to be repurchased at the option of the Holder, the Holder must deliver to the Paying Agent, prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, (i) a written notice of repurchase (the “Repurchase Notice”) in the form set forth on the reverse of the Debentures duly completed (if the Debentures are certificated) or stating the following (if the Debentures are represented by a Global Debenture): (A) the certificate number of the Debentures which the Holder will deliver to be repurchased or compliance with the appropriate Depositary procedures, (B) the portion of the principal amount of the Debentures which the Holder will deliver to be repurchased, which portion must be in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 and (C) that such Debentures shall be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Debentures and in this Indenture, together with (ii) such Debentures duly endorsed for transfer (if the Debentures are certificated) or book-entry transfer of such Debentures (if such Debentures are represented by a Global Debenture).  The delivery of such Debentures to the Paying Agent with, or at any time after delivery of, the Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements) at the office of the Paying Agent shall be a condition to the receipt by the Holder of the repurchase price therefor; provided, however, that such repurchase

12




price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 3.04 only if the Debentures so delivered to the Paying Agent shall conform in all respects to the description thereof in the Repurchase Notice.   All questions as to the validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of any Debentures for repurchase shall be determined by the Company, whose determination shall be final and binding absent manifest error.

Section 5.02           Successor Substituted.  In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease in which the Company is not the continuing corporation and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Trustee, of the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on all of the Debentures, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of the Indenture to be performed or satisfied by the Company, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the party of this first part, and SunPower Corporation shall be discharged from its obligations under the Debentures and the Indenture.  Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of SunPower Corporation any or all of the Debentures, issuable hereunder that theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor Person instead of the Company and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in the Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver, or cause to be authenticated and delivered, any Debentures that previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Debentures that such successor Person thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose.  All the Debentures so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under the Indenture as the Debentures theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of the Indenture as though all of such Debentures had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.  In the event of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease, upon compliance with this Article 5 the Person named as the “Company” in the first paragraph of the Indenture or any successor that shall thereafter have become such in the manner prescribed in this Article 5 may be dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter and such Person shall be discharged from its liabilities as obligor and maker of the Debentures and from its obligations under the Indenture.

Section 5.03           Opinion of Counsel to be Given Trustee.  Prior to execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article 5, the Trustee shall receive an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease and any such assumption complies with the provisions of this Article 5.

(f)         the Company fails to pay when due (whether at stated maturity or otherwise) or a default that results in the acceleration of maturity, of any Debt for borrowed money in excess of $25,000,000 of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company, unless such Debt is discharged or such acceleration is rescinded, stayed or annulled, within a period of 30 calendar days after written notice of such failure or default to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Debentures; or

Section 6.02           Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.  Notwithstanding Section 6.2 of the Base Indenture, this Section 6.02 (and not Section 6.2 of the Base Indenture) shall apply for purposes of this Second Supplemental Indenture and the Debentures.

If an Event of Default with respect to outstanding Debentures (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or 6.01(h) hereof) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Debentures, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare due and payable 100% of the principal amount of all outstanding Debentures plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of payment. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal and accrued and unpaid interest to the date of payment shall be immediately due and payable.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or 6.01(h) hereof occurs, all unpaid principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding Debentures shall become and be immediately due and payable, without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debentures by written notice to the Trustee may rescind and annul an acceleration and its consequences if:

(1)        the Company has paid (or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay) (i) all overdue interest on all Debentures; (ii) the principal amount of any Debentures that has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration; (iii) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest; and (iv) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee under the Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and

(2)        all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of principal or interest on the Debentures which has become due solely because of the acceleration, have been remedied, cured or waived,

provided, however, that in the event such declaration of acceleration has been made based on the existence of an Event of Default under Section 6.01(f) hereof and such Event of Default has been remedied, cured or waived in accordance with Section 6.01(f) hereof, then, without any further action by the Holders, such declaration of acceleration shall be rescinded automatically and the consequences of such declaration shall be annulled. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.03           Waiver of Past Defaults.  Notwithstanding Section 6.13 of the Base Indenture, this Section 6.03 (and not 6.13 of the Base Indenture) shall apply for purposes of this Second Supplemental Indenture and the Debentures.  The Holders, either (a) through the written consent of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debentures or (b) by the adoption of a resolution, at a meeting of Holders of the outstanding Debentures at which a quorum is present, by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debentures, may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Debentures, waive an existing Default or Event of Default, except a Default or Event of Default:

(1)        in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Debenture;

(2)        in respect of the right to convert any Debenture in accordance with Article 8;

(3)        in the payment of the redemption price on the redemption date, or the Repurchase Price on the Repurchase Date or the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price on the

20




Fundamental Repurchase Date in connection with the repurchase rights under Sections 3.04 and 3.05 hereof; or

(4)        in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which, under Section 7.02 hereof, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Debenture 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 the Indenture; provided, however, that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.04           Limitation on Suits. Notwithstanding Section 6.7 of the Base Indenture, this Section 6.04 (and not Section 6.7 of the Base Indenture) shall apply for purposes of this Second Supplemental Indenture and the Debentures.

Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Debentures unless:

(a)        the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice stating that an Event of Default is continuing;

(b)        the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Debentures make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(c)        such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(d)        the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and

(e)        the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Debentures do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request during such 60-day period.

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.

Section 6.05           Unconditional Rights of Holders to Receive Payment and to Convert.  In addition to the other rights and remedies set forth in this Article 6 and in Article 6 of the Base Indenture (to the extent applicable to the Debentures), notwithstanding any other provision in this Second Supplemental Indenture, the Holder of any Debenture shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder, to receive payment of the principal amount, redemption price, Repurchase Price, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, interest or make-whole premium, if any, in respect of the Debentures held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Debentures and this Second Supplemental Indenture, and to convert such Debenture in accordance with Article 8 hereof, and to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective due dates or for the right to convert in accordance with Article 8 hereof.

Except as provided below in this Section 7.02, this Second Supplemental Indenture, the Base Indenture or the Debentures may be amended or supplemented, and noncompliance by the Company in any particular instance with any provision of the Indenture or the Debentures may be waived, in each case (i) with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debentures or (ii) by the adoption of a resolution, at a meeting of Holders of the Debentures outstanding at which a quorum is present, by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debentures.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 7.02 becomes effective, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to deliver such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Article 8
Conversion of Debentures

Section 8.01           Right to Convert.

(a)        Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Second Supplemental Indenture, on or prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding August 1, 2027, the Holder of any outstanding Debentures shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert the principal amount of the Debentures held by such Holder, or any portion of such principal amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000, into cash and, if applicable, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock (as such shares shall then be constituted) as described in Section 8.12 hereof, at the Conversion Rate in effect at such time, by surrender of the Debentures so to be converted, together with any required funds, under the circumstances described in this Section 8.01 and in the manner provided in Section 8.02 hereof.  The Debentures shall be convertible only at the following times:

(1)        prior to August 1, 2025 on any date during any Fiscal Quarter beginning after September 30, 2007 (and only during such Fiscal Quarter), if the Closing Sale Price of one

23




share of Class A Common Stock was more than 125% of the then current Conversion Price for at least 20 Trading Days in the 30 consecutive Trading-Day period ending on the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding Fiscal Quarter;

(2)        on or after August 1, 2025;

(3)        with respect to Debentures called for redemption pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof, until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day prior to the relevant redemption date;

(4)        during the period specified in Section 8.01(c) hereof, if the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of Class A Common Stock rights or warrants entitling them to purchase, for a period of 45 calendar days or less, shares of Class A Common Stock at less than the average Closing Sale Price per share of the Class A Common Stock for the 10 Trading Days preceding the declaration date for such distribution;

(5)        during the period specified in Section 8.01(c) hereof, if the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of Class A Common Stock, cash or other assets, debt securities or rights to purchase the Company’s securities, which distribution has a per share value exceeding 10% of the Closing Sale Price per share of the Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day preceding the declaration for such distribution;

(6)        if a Fundamental Change occurs, at any time beginning on the Business Day following the effective date of the Fundamental Change until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date relating to such Fundamental Change; or

(7)        during the five consecutive Business Days immediately following any five consecutive Trading-Day period in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Debentures is less than 98% of the average of the Closing Sale Price of a share of Class A Common Stock during such five Trading -Day period multiplied by the applicable Conversion Rate.

(b)           (1) The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing on or prior to the fifth Business Day following the first day of each Fiscal Quarter (commencing prior to August 1, 2025, beginning with the Fiscal Quarter ending September 30, 2007) of the condition to conversion set forth in Section 8.01(a)(1) above shall have been satisfied with respect to such Fiscal Quarter.

(2)           The Trustee shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of the Debentures and whether the Debentures are convertible pursuant to clause (7) of Section 8.01(a) hereof unless the Company has requested such determination; and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request unless a Holder makes a request for a determination and provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures is reasonably likely to be less than 98% of the average of the Closing Sale Price of the Class A Common Stock during such five Trading-Day period multiplied by the Conversion Rate then in effect per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures.  At such time, the Company shall instruct the Trustee to determine the Trading Price of the Debentures beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Prices for the Debentures for each Trading Day in any five consecutive Trading Day period exceeds 98% of the product of the Closing Sale Price of the Class A Common Stock and the then current Conversion Rate, and to notify the Company accordingly.

 

24




The Trustee shall be entitled at its sole discretion to consult with the Company and to request the assistance of the Company in connection with the Trustee’s duties and obligations pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(2) hereof  and the Company agrees, if requested by the Trustee, to cooperate with, and provide assistance to, the Trustee in carrying out its duties under this Section 8.01.  Upon determination of the Trading Price the Trustee shall notify the Company in writing of such determination and upon request the Company shall promptly confirm such determination in writing to the Trustee.

(c)        In the case of a distribution contemplated by clauses (4) or (5) of Section 8.01(a), the Company shall notify Holders of Debentures and the Trustee in writing at least 20 calendar days prior to the ex-dividend date (the first date on which the Class A Common Stock trades, regular way, on the relevant market from which the Closing Sale Price was obtained without the right to receive such right, warrant, dividend or distribution) for such distribution (the “Distribution Notice”).  Once the Company has given the Distribution Notice, Holders may surrender their Debentures for conversion at any time until the earlier of (i) 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date or (ii) the Company’s announcement that such distribution will not take place.  In the event of a distribution contemplated by clauses (4) or (5) of Section 8.01(a) hereof, holders may not convert the Debentures if the holders may otherwise participate in such distribution without converting their Debentures.

(d)        In addition, if the Company consolidates with or merges with or into another Person or is a party to a binding share exchange or conveys, transfers, sells, leases or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its properties and assets in each case in a transaction not constituting a Fundamental Change, pursuant to which the Class A Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities and/or other property, other than in a transaction covered by the exceptions in clause (d)(i) or clause (d)(ii) of the definition of “Fundamental Change,” then the holders shall have the right to convert their Debentures at any time beginning 15 calendar days prior to the date announced by the Company as the anticipated effective date of the transaction and until and including the date which is 15 calendar days after the date that is the actual effective date of such transaction.  The Board of Directors shall determine the anticipated effective date of the transaction, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the holders and shall be publicly announced by the Company and posted on its website not later than 20 calendar days prior to such date, to the extent the Company has the knowledge to make such public announcement and posting 20 days prior to the anticipated effective date, or as soon as possible after the Company obtains such knowledge.

(e)        Whenever the Debentures shall become convertible pursuant to this Section 8.01, the Company or, at the Company’s request, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall notify the holders of the event triggering such convertibility in the manner provided in Section 12.2 of the Base Indenture, and the Company shall also publicly announce such information and publish it on the Company’s website.  Any notice so given shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice.  Except as provided in Section 8.04 hereof, the Company shall notify Holders and the Trustee in writing at least 10 calendar days prior to the anticipated effective date of any Fundamental Change, to the extent the Company has the knowledge to do so, or as soon as possible after the Company obtains such knowledge.

(f)         Debentures in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Repurchase Notice exercising such Holder’s right to require the Company to repurchase such Debentures pursuant to Section 3.04 or 3.05 hereof may be converted only if such Repurchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.07 hereof prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Repurchase Date or the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as applicable.

(g)        A Holder of Debentures is not entitled to any rights of a holder of Class A Common Stock until such Holder has converted his Debentures to Class A Common Stock, and only to the extent such Debentures are deemed to have been converted to Class A Common Stock under this Article 8.

Section 8.02           Exercise of Conversion Right; Issuance of Class A Common Stock on Conversion; No Adjustment for Interest or Dividends.  In order to exercise the conversion right with respect to any Debentures in certificated form, the Company must receive at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose or,

25




at the option of such Holder, the Corporate Trust Office, such Debentures with the original or facsimile of the form entitled “Conversion Notice” on the reverse thereof, duly completed and manually signed, together with such Debentures duly endorsed for transfer, together with any other required transfer documents, accompanied by the funds, if any, required by this Section 8.02.  Such notice shall also state the name or names (with address or addresses) in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock which shall be issuable on such conversion, if any, shall be issued, and shall be accompanied by transfer or similar taxes, if required pursuant to Section 8.07 hereof. Once delivered, a Conversion Notice is irrevocable.

In order to exercise the conversion right with respect to any interest in a Global Debenture, the Holder must complete, or cause to be completed, the appropriate instruction form for conversion pursuant to the Depositary’s book-entry conversion program; deliver, or cause to be delivered, by book-entry delivery an interest in such Global Debenture; furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Company or the Trustee or conversion agent; and pay the funds, if any, required by this Section 8.02 and any transfer or similar taxes if required pursuant to Section 8.07 hereof.

The cash and, if applicable, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock into which the Debentures are converted will be delivered to such Holder after satisfaction of the requirements for conversion set forth above, in accordance with Section 8.12 hereof.  In case any Debentures of a denomination greater than $1,000 shall be surrendered for partial conversion, and subject to Section 2.03 hereof, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of the Debentures so surrendered, without charge to the Holder, a new Debenture or Debentures in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Debentures.

Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as to any such Debentures (or portion thereof) on the date on which the requirements set forth above in this Section 8.02 have been satisfied as to such Debentures (or portion thereof) (the “Conversion Date”) and such Debentures will be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Conversion Date.  The Person in whose name any certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion, if any, shall be deemed to have become, on said date, the holder of record of the shares represented thereby; provided that in the event of any such surrender on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, that Person shall constitute the Person in whose name the certificates are to be issued as the record holder thereof for all purposes on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date.

Any Debentures or portion thereof surrendered for conversion during the period from 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Record Date for any Interest Payment Date to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date shall be accompanied by payment, in immediately available funds or other funds acceptable to the Company, of an amount equal to the interest otherwise payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount being converted; provided that no such payment need be made (1) if a Holder converts its Debentures in connection with a redemption and the Company has specified a redemption date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, (2) if a Holder converts its Debentures in connection with a Fundamental Change and the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date or (3) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Debentures.  Except as provided above in this Section 8.02 and Section 8.05 hereof, no payment or other adjustment shall be made for interest accrued on any Debentures converted or for dividends on any shares issued upon the conversion of such Debentures as provided in this Article 8.

Upon the conversion of an interest in a Global Debenture, the Trustee (or other Conversion Agent appointed by the Company), or the custodian for the Global Debenture at the direction of the Trustee (or other Conversion Agent appointed by the Company), shall make a notation on such Global Debenture as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby.  The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversions of Debentures effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.

Upon the conversion of any Debentures, the accrued but unpaid interest attributable to the period from the Issue Date of the Debentures to the Conversion Date, with respect to the converted Debentures, shall not be

26




cancelled, extinguished or forfeited, but rather shall be deemed to be paid in full to the Holder thereof through delivery of the cash (including a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares, if any) and shares of Class A Common Stock, if any, in exchange for the Debentures being converted pursuant to the provisions hereof.

Section 8.03           Cash Payments in Lieu of Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock or scrip certificates representing fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of Debentures.  If more than one Debenture shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares that shall be issuable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered.  If any fractional share of stock would be issuable upon the conversion of any Debenture or Debentures, the Company shall make an adjustment and payment therefor in cash to the Holder of Debentures at a price equal to the applicable fraction of the Closing Sale Price on the final Trading Day of the Conversion Period.

Section 8.04           Conversion Rate.

(a)        Each $1,000 principal amount of the Debentures shall be convertible into cash and the number of shares of Class A Common Stock, if any, based upon the Conversion Rate which is specified in the form of Debenture attached as Exhibit A hereto, subject to adjustment as provided in this Section 8.04 and Section 8.05 hereof.

(b)        Prior to August 1, 2010, if and only to the extent a Holder elects to convert Debentures in connection with a Non-Stock Change of Control at any time beginning on the Business Day following the date on which such Non-Stock Change of Control becomes effective (the “Effective Date”) but before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Company shall increase the Conversion Rate applicable to such converted Debentures by a number of additional shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) as set forth below.  A conversion of Debentures shall be deemed to be “in connection with” a Non-Stock Change of Control if the Conversion Notice is received by the Conversion Agent during the period specified in the previous sentence.  The number of additional shares of Class A Common Stock shall be determined by reference to the table below, based on the Effective Date and the price (the “Stock Price”) paid per share for the Class A Common Stock in the Non-Stock Change of Control.  If holders of Class A Common Stock receive only cash in the Non-Stock Change of Control, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share. Otherwise, the Stock Price shall be the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Class A Common Stock on the five Trading Days prior to, but not including, the Effective Date of such Non-Stock Change of Control.

The numbers of Additional Shares of Class A Common Stock set forth in the table below shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate is adjusted in the same manner in which the Conversion Rate is adjusted.  The Stock Prices set forth in the table below shall be adjusted, as of any date on which the Conversion Rate is adjusted, to equal the Stock Price applicable immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction, of which

(1)        the numerator shall be the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the adjustment and

(2)        the denominator shall be the Conversion Rate as so adjusted.

The following table sets forth the Stock Price and number of Additional Shares by which the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted:

If the Stock Price and Effective Date are not set forth on the table above and the Stock Price is:

(i)         between two Stock Prices on the table or the Effective Date is between two days on the table, the number of additional shares of Class A Common Stock shall be determined by the Trustee by straight-line interpolation between the number of additional shares of Class A Common Stock set forth for the higher and lower Stock Price and the two Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 360-day year;

(ii)        in excess of $[  ] per share (subject to adjustment), no additional shares of Class A Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion; or

(iii)       less than $[  ] per share (subject to adjustment), no additional shares of Class A Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Conversion Rate as adjusted pursuant to this Section 8.04 exceed [  ] shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Debentures, subject to adjustments in the same manner as the number of Additional Shares of Class A Common Stock as set forth in this Section 8.04(b).

Additional Shares deliverable pursuant to this Section 8.04(b) or cash in lieu thereof, shall be delivered on the settlement date applicable to the relevant conversion.

The Company shall provide written notice to all Holders and to the Trustee as soon as practicable and if possible at least 20 calendar days prior to the anticipated Effective Date of a Non-Stock Change of Control.  The Company must also provide written notice to all Holders and to the Trustee upon the effectiveness of such Non-Stock Change of Control.

Section 8.05           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, at any time or from time to time while any of the Debentures are outstanding, pay a dividend in shares of Class A Common Stock or make a distribution in shares of Class A Common Stock to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, then the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the date following the record date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be increased by multiplying such Conversion Rate by a fraction:

(1)        the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution plus the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock constituting such dividend or other distribution; and

(2)        the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination,

such increase to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the record date fixed for such determination.  For the purpose of this paragraph (a), the number of shares of Class A Common Stock

28




at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company.  The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Class A Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.  If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 8.05(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(b)        In case outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Class A 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 Class A Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Class A Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such 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.

(c)        In case the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock entitling them to subscribe or purchase, for a period of up to 45 calendar days, shares of Class A Common Stock at a price per share less than the then Current Market Price, the Conversion Rate shall be increased so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants by a fraction,

(1)        the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants plus the total number of additional shares of Class A Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and

(2)        the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants plus the number of shares that the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered would purchase at the Current Market Price on such date.

Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants.  To the extent that shares of Class A Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Class A Common Stock actually delivered.  If such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed.  In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Class A Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.

(d)        In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock shares of any class of Capital Stock of the Company or evidences of its Debt or assets (including securities, but excluding (i) any rights or warrants referred to in Section 8.05(c) hereof, (ii) any dividends or distributions in connection with a reclassification, consolidation, merger, combination or sale or conveyance to which Section 8.06 hereof applies, (iii) any dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash or (iv) any dividends or distributions referred to in Section 8.05(a) hereof) (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 8.05(d)) called the “Distributed Assets”), then, in each such case, the Conversion Rate

29




shall be increased so that the same shall be equal to the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect on the record date with respect to such distribution by a fraction,

(1)        the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price on such record date; and

(2)        the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price on such record date less the Fair Market Value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive, and set forth  in a resolution of the Board of Directors) on the record date of the portion of the Distributed Assets so distributed applicable to one share of Class A Common Stock,

such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such record date; provided, that if the then Fair Market Value (as so determined) of the portion of the Distributed Assets so distributed applicable to one share of Class A Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the record date or the Current Market Price exceeds such Fair Market Value by less than $1.00, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of Distributed Assets such Holder would have received had such Holder converted each Debentures solely into Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the record date; and provided, further, that no adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made if the Holder will otherwise participate in such distribution without conversion as a result of holding the Debentures.  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 Directors determines the Fair Market Value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 8.05(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any Distributed Assets comprising all or part of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period (the “Reference Period”) used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to Section 8.05(g)(1) hereof to the extent possible, unless the Board of Directors determines in good faith that determining the Fair Market Value during the Reference Period would not be a reasonably accurate measure of value.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any such distribution consists of shares of Capital Stock of, or similar equity interests in, one or more of the Company’s Subsidiaries (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased so that the same shall be equal to the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date with respect to such distribution by a fraction:

(1)           the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price of the Class A Common Stock, plus the Fair Market Value of the portion of the distributed assets so distributed applicable to one share of Class A Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the record date), determined as set forth above, and

(2)           the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price on such record date,

such increase shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the last Trading Day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period (as defined below).  In the event that 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.  In the case of a Spin-Off of a subsidiary whose securities are publicly traded, the Fair Market Value of the securities to be distributed shall equal the average of the Closing Sale Prices of such securities on the principal securities market on which such securities are traded for the five consecutive Trading Days commencing on and including the sixth day of trading of those securities after the effectiveness of the Spin-Off (the “Spin-Off Valuation Period”), and the Current Market Price shall be measured for the same period.  In the event, however, that an underwritten initial public offering of the securities in the Spin-Off occurs simultaneously with the Spin-Off, Fair Market Value of the securities distributed in the Spin-Off shall mean the initial public offering price of such securities and the Current Market Price shall mean the Closing Sale Price for the Class A Common Stock on the same Trading Day.

30




Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Class A 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 Class A Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Class A Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 8.05 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 8.05 will be required) until the occurrence of the 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 8.05(d).  If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Second Supplemental Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of Debt 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 8.05 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 Class A Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Class A Common Stock 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.

No adjustment of the Conversion Rate shall be made pursuant to this Section 8.05(d) in respect of rights or warrants distributed or deemed distributed on any Trigger Event to the extent that such rights or warrants are actually distributed or reserved by the Company for distribution to Holders of Debentures upon conversion by such Holders of Debentures to Class A Common Stock.

For purposes of this Section 8.05(d) and Sections 8.05(a) and (b) hereof, any dividend or distribution to which this Section 8.05(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Class A Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Class A Common Stock (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of Debt, assets or shares of Capital Stock other than such shares of Class A Common Stock or rights or warrants (and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 8.05(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Class A Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Rate adjustment required by Sections 8.05(a) or 8.05(b) hereof 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 date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution”, “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants” and “the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Sections 8.05(a) and 8.05(b) hereof and (B) any shares of Class A Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Section 8.05(a) hereof.

(e)        In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Class A Common Stock cash (including any quarterly cash dividend, but excluding (x) any dividend or distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary and (y) any dividend or distribution in connection with a reclassification, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange or sale to which Section 8.06 hereof applies), then the Conversion Rate shall be increased so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect on the applicable record date by a fraction,

(1)        the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price on such record date; and

31




(2)        the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price on such record date less the amount of the cash distribution applicable to one share of Class A Common Stock,

such adjustment to be effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the record date; provided, that if the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Class A Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the record date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder converted each Debentures solely into Class A Common Stock immediately prior to 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.

(f)         In case a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Class A Common Stock shall expire and such tender or exchange offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders of consideration per share of Class A Common Stock having a Fair Market Value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a resolution of the Board of Directors) that as of the last time (the “Expiration Time”) tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended) exceeds the Closing Sale Price of a share of Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, the Conversion Rate shall be increased so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction,

(1)        the numerator of which shall be the sum of (x) the Fair Market Value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged 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”) and (y) the product of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) at the Expiration Time and the Closing Sale Price of a share of Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, and

(2)        the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding (including any Purchased Shares) at the Expiration Time multiplied by the Closing Sale Price of a share of Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time,

such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time.  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 any such purchases or all 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.

(g)        For purposes of this Section 8.05, the following terms shall have the meaning indicated:

(1)        “Current Market Price” on any date means the average of the daily Closing Sale Prices per share of Class A Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to such date (the “day in question”); provided that if:

(A)     the “ex” date (as hereinafter defined) for any event (other than the issuance or distribution requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 8.05 (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) occurs during such ten consecutive Trading Days, the Closing Sale Price for each Trading Day prior to the “ex” date for such other event shall be adjusted by

32




dividing such Closing Sale Price by the same fraction by which the Conversion Rate is so required to be multiplied as a result of such other event;

(B)      the “ex” date for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation is prior to the day in question, after taking into account any adjustment required pursuant to clause (A) of this proviso, the Closing Sale Price for each Trading Day on or after such “ex” date shall be adjusted by adding thereto the amount of any cash and the Fair Market Value (as determined by the Board of Directors in a manner consistent with any determination of such value for purposes of Section 8.05(d), (e) or (f)) of the evidences of Debt, shares of Capital Stock or assets being distributed applicable to one share of Class A Common Stock as of the close of business on the day before such “ex” date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever successive adjustments to the Conversion Rate are called for pursuant to this Section 8.05, such adjustments shall be made to the Current Market Price as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the intent of this Section 8.05 and to avoid unjust or inequitable results as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

“Ex” date, when used:

(i)            with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the shares of Class A Common Stock trade regular way on the relevant exchange or in the relevant market from which the Closing Sale Price was obtained without the right to receive such issuance or distribution;

(ii)           with respect to any subdivision or combination of shares of Class A Common Stock, means the first date on which the shares of Class A Common Stock trade regular way on such exchange or in such market after the time at which such subdivision or combination becomes effective; and

(iii)          with respect to any tender or exchange offer, means the first date on which the shares of Class A Common Stock trade regular way on such exchange or in such market after the Expiration Time of such offer.

(2)        “Fair Market Value” shall mean the amount which a willing buyer would pay a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction.

(3)        “record date” shall mean, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of Class A Common Stock have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the Class A Common Stock (or other applicable security) is exchanged for or converted into any combination of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such cash, securities or other property (whether such date is fixed by the Board of Directors or by statute, contract or otherwise).

(h)        The Company, in its sole discretion, may make such increases in the Conversion Rate, in addition to those required by Sections 8.05(a)-(f) hereof, as the Board of Directors considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Class A Common Stock or rights to purchase Class A Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.

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 20 Business Days, the increase is irrevocable during the 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.  Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall deliver to Holders of record of the Debentures and the Trustee a notice of the increase, which notice will be given at least 15 days prior to the effectiveness of any such increase, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.

33




(i)            No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) in such rate; provided that any adjustments that by reason of this Section 8.05(i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and the Company shall make such carry forward adjustments, regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than 1%, (x) annually on the anniversary of the Closing Date and otherwise (y)(1) five Business Days prior to the maturity of the Debentures (whether at stated maturity or otherwise) or (2) prior to the redemption date or Repurchase Date or Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, unless such adjustment has already been made.  All calculations under this Article 8 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 need be made for rights to purchase Class A Common Stock pursuant to a Company plan for reinvestment of dividends or interest or for any issuance of Class A Common Stock or convertible or exchangeable securities or rights to purchase Class A Common Stock or convertible or exchangeable securities.  Interest will not accrue on any cash into which the Debentures are convertible.

(j)         Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company will issue a press release through Business Wire or another widely accepted business wire service containing the relevant information and make this information available on the Company’s website or through another public medium as the Company may use at that time.  In addition, 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.  Unless and until a Trust 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 that the last Conversion Rate of which it has actual 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 deliver such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to the Holder of each Debentures at his last address appearing on the Register, within 20 calendar days after execution of such notice.  Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

(k)        In any case in which this Section 8.05 provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after (1) a record date for an event, (2) the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive a dividend or distribution pursuant to Section 8.05(a) hereof, (3) a date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive rights or warrants pursuant to Section 8.05(b) hereof, or (4) the Expiration Time for any tender or exchange offer pursuant to Section 8.05(f) hereof, (each a “Determination Date”), the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of the applicable Adjustment Event (as hereinafter defined) (x) issuing to the Holder of any Debentures converted after such Determination Date and before the occurrence of such Adjustment Event, the additional shares of Class A Common Stock, if any, or other securities, cash or other property issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such Adjustment Event over and above the Class A Common Stock, if any, issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (y) paying to such Holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fractional share pursuant to Section 8.03 hereof.  For purposes of this Section 8.05(k), the term “Adjustment Event” shall mean:

(i)            in any case referred to in clause (1) hereof, the occurrence of such event,
(ii)           in any case referred to in clause (2) hereof, the date any such dividend or distribution is paid or made,
(iii)          in any case referred to in clause (3) hereof, the date of expiration of such rights or warrants, and
(iv)          in any case referred to in clause (4) hereof, the date a sale or exchange of Class A Common Stock pursuant to such tender or exchange offer is consummated and becomes irrevocable.

(l)         For purposes of this Section 8.05, the number of shares of Class A 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 Class A Common Stock.  The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Class A Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.

34




(m)       No adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made pursuant to this Section 8.05 if the holders of the Debentures may participate in the transaction that would otherwise give rise to adjustment pursuant to this Section 8.05.

Section 8.06           Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.  If any of the following events occur, namely:

(a)        any reclassification or change of the outstanding Class A Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination),

(b)        any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person, or

(c)        any sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and those of its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any other Person or Persons, as a result of which holders of Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) with respect to or in exchange for such Class A Common Stock,

in each case, the Company or the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the 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 that such Debentures shall, without the consent of any holders of Debentures, be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (the “Applicable Consideration”) that such Holder would have been entitled to receive upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition had such Debentures been converted into Class A Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition; provided, that in the event that holders of Class A Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in such transaction, then from and after the effective date of such transaction, the Debentures shall be convertible into the consideration that a majority of the holders of Class A Common Stock who made such an election received in such transaction and the term “Applicable Consideration” shall be construed accordingly; and provided, further, that Section 8.12 hereof shall continue to apply following any such transaction.  Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 8.  If, in the case of any such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition, the stock or other securities and assets receivable thereupon by a holder of Class A Common Stock includes shares of stock or other securities and assets of a corporation other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition, 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 Debentures as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including to the extent practicable the provisions providing for the conversion rights set forth in this Article 8.

The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be delivered to each Holder, at the address of such Holder as it appears on the register of the Debentures maintained by the Registrar, within 20 days after execution thereof.  Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.

The above provisions of this Section 8.06 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, sales, leases, transfers, conveyances or other dispositions.

If this Section 8.06 applies to any event or occurrence, Section 8.05 hereof shall not apply.

Any additional shares of Class A Common Stock that a Holder is entitled to receive upon conversion pursuant to Section 8.04(b) hereof, if applicable, shall not be payable in shares of Class A Common Stock, but shall represent a right to receive the aggregate amount of cash, securities or other property into which the

35




additional shares of Class A Common Stock would convert as a result of such recapitalization, change, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition.

The Company may not become party to any such transaction described in clauses (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 8.06, unless the terms of such transactions are consistent with this Section 8.06.

Section 8.07           Taxes on Shares Issued.  The issue of stock certificates on conversions of Debentures shall be made without charge to the converting Holder of Debentures for any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax in respect of the issue thereof.  The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any such tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of stock in any name other than that of the Holder of any Debentures converted, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such stock certificate unless and until the Person or Persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

Section 8.08           Reservation of Shares, Shares to be Fully Paid; Compliance with Governmental Requirements; Listing of Class A Common Stock.  The Company shall provide, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of Class A Common Stock to provide for the conversion of the Debentures, including any Additional Shares, from time to time as such Debentures are presented for conversion.

Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment increasing the Conversion Rate to an amount that would cause the Conversion Price to be reduced below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures, the Company will take all corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue shares of such Class A Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Rate.

The Company covenants that all shares of Class A Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of Debentures will upon issue be fully paid and non-assessable by the Company and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

The Company covenants that, if any shares of Class A Common Stock to be provided for the purpose of conversion of Debentures hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued upon conversion, the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, to the extent then permitted by the rules and interpretations of the Commission (or any successor thereto), endeavor to secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.

The Company further covenants that, if at any time the Class A Common Stock shall be listed on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system, the Company will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system, list and keep listed, so long as the Class A Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, all Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures; provided that if the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system permit the Company to defer the listing of such Class A Common Stock until the first conversion of the Debentures into Class A Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Company covenants to list such Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures in accordance with the requirements of such exchange or automated quotation system at such time.

Section 8.09           Responsibility of Trustee.  The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine the Conversion Price or 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 shares of Class A Common Stock, or of any Capital Stock, other securities or other assets or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Debentures; 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 issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Class A Common Stock or stock certificates or

36




other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Debentures for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article 8.  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 hereof relating either to the kind or amount of shares of capital stock or other securities or other assets or property (including cash) receivable by holders of Debentures upon the conversion of their Debentures after any event referred to in such Section 8.06 hereof or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 7.1 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 (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto.

Section 8.10           Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions.  In case:

(a)        the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Class A Common Stock that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 8.05 hereof; or

(b)        the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of all or substantially all of its Class A Common Stock or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of any class or any other rights or warrants; or

(c)        of any reclassification or reorganization of the Class A Common Stock of the Company (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Class A Common Stock, 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 stockholders 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 delivered to each Holder at his address appearing on the Register provided for in Section 2.4 of the Base Indenture, as promptly as possible but in any event at least ten calendar days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified to the extent the Company has the knowledge to do so, 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 Class A Common Stock 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 Class A Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Class A Common Stock 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.

Section 8.11           Stockholder Rights Plans.  If the rights provided for in any future rights plan adopted by the Company have separated from the shares of Class A Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable stockholder rights agreement so that the holders of the Debentures would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted as provided in Section 8.05(d) hereof.  If such rights have not separated, any shares of Class A Common Stock delivered upon the conversion of Debentures shall be accompanied by such rights.

Section 8.12           Settlement Upon Conversion.  (a) Subject to Section 8.12 (b) hereof, upon any conversion of Debentures, the Company will deliver to converting Holders in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures being converted a “Settlement Amount” equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amount for each of the 20 Trading Days during the Conversion Period.

Daily Settlement Amount”, for each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures, for each of the 20 Trading Days during the Conversion Period, shall consist of:

37




(i)            cash equal to the lesser of $50 and the Daily Conversion Value; and

(ii)           to the extent the Daily Conversion Value exceeds $50, a number of shares of Class A Common Stock, which is referred to as the “remaining shares,” equal to the Daily Share Amount as defined below, subject to the Company’s right to deliver cash in lieu of all or a portion of such remaining shares as described below.

“Daily Share Amount” means (A) the difference between the Daily Conversion Value and $50, divided by (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Class A Common Stock for such day.

Daily Conversion Value” means, for each of the 20 consecutive Trading Days during the Conversion Period, one-twentieth (1/20) of the product of (1) the applicable Conversion Rate and (2) the Closing Sale Price of the Class A Common Stock (or the consideration into which the Class A Common Stock has been converted in connection with transactions to which Sections 8.01(a)(6) or 8.06 hereof are applicable) on such day.  For the purposes of determining the Daily Conversion Value the following provisions shall apply:  (i) if the Applicable Consideration includes securities for which the price can be determined in a manner contemplated by the definition of “Closing Sale Price,” then the value of such securities shall be determined in accordance with the principles set forth in such definition; (ii) if the Applicable Consideration includes other property (other than securities as to which clause (i) applies or cash), then the value of such property shall be the fair market value of such property as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in good faith; and (iii) if the Applicable Consideration includes cash, then the value of such cash shall be the amount thereof.

Subject to Section 8.12(b) hereof, the Company may elect to pay cash to any Holder that surrenders Debentures for conversion in lieu of all or a portion of the Common Stock otherwise issuable pursuant to this Section 8.12(a).  In such event, on any day prior to the first trading day of the applicable Conversion Period, the Company may specify a percentage of the Daily Share Amount that will be settled in cash (the “Cash Percentage”).  If the Company elects to specify a Cash Percentage, the amount of cash that will be delivered by the Company in respect of each Trading Day in the applicable Conversion Period will equal the product of: (1) the Cash Percentage, (2) the Daily Share Amount for such Trading Day and (3) the Closing Sale Price for such Trading Day (provided that after the consummation of a Fundamental Change in which the consideration is comprised entirely of cash, the amount used in this clause (3) will be the cash price per share received by Holders in such Fundamental Change).  The number of shares deliverable in respect of each Trading Day in the applicable Conversion Period will be a percentage of the Daily Share Amount equal to 100% minus the Cash Percentage. If the Company does not specify a Cash Percentage by the start of the applicable Conversion Period, the Company must settle 100% of the Daily Share Amount for each Trading Day in the applicable Conversion Period with shares of Class A Common Stock; provided, however, that the Company will pay cash in lieu of fractional shares otherwise issuable upon conversion of such Debentures.

(b)           If a Holder converts Debentures pursuant to Section 8.01(a)(6) hereof, the Holder shall receive per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures being converted: (1) cash equal to the lesser of (i) $1,000 and (ii) the Conversion Value and (2) if the Conversion Value exceeds $1,000, an amount of cash, securities and other assets or property equal to such excess based on the consideration a Holder would have received had the Holder held a number of shares of Class A Common Stock based on the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the Fundamental Change, with the Conversion Value based on the consideration received in such Fundamental Change, if applicable.

The Settlement Amount will be delivered to converting Holders on the third Trading Day following the final Trading Day of the Conversion Period.

In connection with the opinions expressed herein, we have examined such documents, records and matters of law as we have deemed relevant or necessary for purposes of such opinions.  Based on the foregoing, and subject to the further limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

1.             The Debt Securities, when executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the Indenture and issued and delivered to the Underwriters pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement against payment of the consideration therefor as provided therein, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company.

In rendering the foregoing opinions, we have assumed that the resolutions authorizing the Company to issue, offer and sell the Securities will be in full force and effect at all times at which any Securities are issued, offered or sold by the Company.

For purposes of the opinion expressed in paragraph 1 above, we also have assumed that (i) the Trustee will have authorized, executed and delivered the Indenture, and such Indenture is the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Trustee and (ii) the Second Supplemental Indenture will be executed and delivered by the Company.




The opinion expressed in paragraph 1 above is limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer and fraudulent conveyance, voidable preference, moratorium or other similar laws and related regulations and judicial doctrines from time to time in effect relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, and by general equitable principles, whether such principles are considered in a proceeding at law or at equity.

Our examination of matters of law in connection with the opinions expressed herein has been limited to, and accordingly our opinions herein are limited to, (i) the laws of the State of New York, and (ii) the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, including the applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and the reported judicial decisions interpreting such law, in each case as currently in effect, and we express no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K dated the date hereof filed by the Company relating to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Reg. No. 333-140272) (the “Registration Statement”), filed by the Company to effect the registration of the Debt Securities under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) and to the reference to Jones Day under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus constituting a part of such Registration Statement.  In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are included in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder.

(c)   Borrower shall, promptly at the request of the Collateral Agent and to the extent any Collateral is held in the United Kingdom, execute all documents and do all things reasonably required by the Collateral Agent to enable the Collateral Agent to register, within 21 days of the Pledge Date or 15 days of the Collateral Agent’s request, whichever is later, the security interest created by this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 1985 (United Kingdom).  The Borrower further agrees that if so requested by the Collateral Agent at any time, to promptly execute all documents (including any security agreements and transfers) and do all things (including the delivery, transfer, assignment or payment of all or part of the Collateral to the Collateral Agent or its nominee(s)) that the Collateral Agent may reasonably specify for the purpose of (a) exercising the rights to the Collateral or (b) securing and perfecting its security over or title to all or any part of the Collateral (including transferring the Collateral into the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee(s)).

(d)   Except as otherwise provided herein, upon the transfer to Lender of Loaned Shares pursuant to Section 6, Collateral Agent shall release to Borrower Collateral with a Market Value equal to the Collateral Percentage of the Market Value of the Loaned Shares so transferred but only to the extent that immediately following such transfer of Collateral, no Collateral Deficit would exist.  Such transfer of Collateral shall be made no later than the Cutoff Time on the day the Loaned Shares are transferred, or if such day is not a day on which a transfer of such Collateral may be effected under Section 13, or if the transfer of Loaned Shares by Lender to Borrower occurs after the Cutoff Time on such day, then in each case the next day on which such a transfer may be effected.

(f)    Borrower may, upon notice to Lender and Collateral Agent, substitute Collateral for Collateral securing any Loan or Loans; provided that such substituted Collateral shall have a Market Value such that the aggregate Market Value of such substituted Collateral, together with

7




all other Collateral, shall equal or exceed the Collateral Percentage of the Market Value of the Loaned Shares as of the date of such substitution.

Section 4.               Mark to Market.

(a)   During any Pledge Period, if at the close of trading on any Business Day during the Loan Availability Period the aggregate Market Value of all Collateral shall be less than the Collateral Percentage of the Market Value of all the outstanding Loaned Shares (a “Collateral Deficit”), Lender may, by notice to Borrower and Collateral Agent, demand that Borrower transfer to Collateral Agent, for deposit to the Collateral Account, no later than the following Business Day, additional Collateral so that the Market Value of such additional Collateral, when added to the Market Value of all other Collateral, shall equal or exceed the Collateral Percentage of the Market Value of the Loaned Shares on such Business Day of determination.

(b)   During any Pledge Period, if at the close of trading on any Business Day during the Loan Availability Period the aggregate Market Value of all Collateral shall be greater than the Collateral Percentage of the Market Value of all the outstanding Loaned Shares (a “Collateral Excess”), Borrower may, by notice to Lender and Collateral Agent, demand that Collateral Agent transfer to Borrower such amount of the Collateral selected by Borrower so that the Market Value of the Collateral, after deduction of such amounts, shall thereupon be at least equal to the Collateral Percentage of the Market Value of the Loaned Shares on such Business Day of determination; provided however that with respect to clauses (a) and (b), the Collateral Agent will promptly give Lender a statement setting forth the Market Value of all Collateral upon Lender’s request and Lender shall have the right to audit the Market Value of all Collateral.

(c)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any outstanding Loans secured by Collateral, the respective rights of Lender and Borrower under Section 4(a) and Section 4(b) may be exercised only where a Collateral Excess or Collateral Deficit exceeds 5% of the Market Value of the Loaned Shares.

(b)   All outstanding Loans, if any, on the last day of the Loan Availability Period shall terminate on the first Business Day following the last day of the Loan Availability Period (the “Facility Termination Date”) and all outstanding Loaned Shares shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof by Lender to Borrower, no later than the fifth Business Day following the Facility Termination Date.

8




(c)   If on any date, the number of Loaned Shares exceeds the Maximum Number of Shares, the number of Loaned Shares in excess of the Maximum Number of Shares shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof by Lender to Borrower, no later than the third Business Day following such date (the “Delivery Due Date”). If as a result of complying with this Section 6(c), Borrower would become a Beneficial Owner of more than 9.9% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time, then Borrower shall be permitted to extend the Delivery Due Date for all or a portion of the corresponding delivery obligation and in no event no longer than such time to allow Borrower to return, as promptly as reasonably practicable (but subject to applicable law, regulation or policy), such Loaned Shares, through one transaction or a series of transactions, without causing Borrower to become, directly or indirectly a Beneficial Owner of more than 9.9% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time. If a Loan is terminated upon the occurrence of a Default as set forth in Section 11, the Loaned Shares shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof by Lender to Borrower, no later than the third Business Day following the termination date of such Loan as provided in Section 11.

(d)   If the Lender notifies the Borrower in writing at least seven Business Days prior to the anticipated consummation of an Early Return Event (the “Anticipated Early Return Event Closing Date”), that it wishes to have the Loans terminated with respect to all Unused Shares, then no later than the Business Day prior to the Anticipated Early Return Event Closing Date, Borrower shall transfer to Lender all Unused Shares as of the fifth Business Day prior to the Anticipated Early Return Closing Date, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof by Lender to Borrower.

(b)   If at any time when there are Loaned Shares outstanding under this Agreement, Lender makes a distribution in respect of its outstanding Common Stock in property or securities, including any options, warrants, rights or privileges in respect of securities (other than a distribution of Common Stock, but including any options, warrants, rights or privileges exercisable for, convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) to the then holder or holders of such Loaned Shares (a “Non-Cash Distribution”), Borrower shall deliver to Lender (whether or not Borrower is a holder of any or all of the outstanding Loan Shares) in kind, within one Business Day after the date of such Non-Cash Distribution, the property or securities distributed in an amount equal to the product of (i) the amount per share of Common Stock of such Non-Cash Distribution and (ii) the number of Loaned Shares on which such Non-Cash Distribution was made.

9




(c)   Any interest, cash distribution or cash dividend made on or in respect of any Collateral for any Loan hereunder, shall, subject to (e) below, be delivered by the Collateral Agent to Borrower, on the date such interest, cash distribution or cash dividend is received by the Collateral Agent.

(e)   If the cash or other property received by the Collateral Agent under the provisions of paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section 7 qualifies as Collateral, to the extent that a transfer of such cash or other property to Borrower by the Collateral Agent would give rise to a Collateral Deficit, the Collateral Agent shall (only to the extent of any such Collateral Deficit) not make such transfer of cash or other property in accordance with this Section 7, but shall in lieu of such transfer immediately credit the amounts that would otherwise have been transferable under this Section 7 to the Collateral Account.

Section 8.               Rights in Respect of Loaned Shares.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, and except as otherwise agreed by Borrower and Lender, Borrower, insofar as it is the record owner of Loaned Shares, shall have all of the incidents of ownership in respect of any such Loaned Shares until such Loaned Shares are required to be delivered to Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the right to transfer the Loaned Shares to others.  Borrower agrees that it or any of its affiliates that are the record owner of any Loaned Shares will not vote such Loaned Shares on any matter submitted to a vote of Lender’s shareholders.

(b)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if, upon the termination of any Loan by Lender under Section 11 and, at the time of such termination, the purchase of Common Stock in an amount equal to the Loaned Shares to be delivered to Lender in accordance with Section 6 shall (i) be prohibited by any law, rules or regulation of any governmental authority to which it is or would be subject, (ii) violate, or would upon such purchase likely violate, any order or prohibition of any court, tribunal or other governmental authority or (iii) require the prior consent of any court, tribunal or governmental authority prior to any such repurchase (each of (i), (ii) and (iii), a (“Legal Obstacle”), then, in each case, Borrower shall immediately notify Lender of the Legal Obstacle and the basis therefor, whereupon Borrower’s obligations under Section 6 shall be suspended until such time as no Legal Obstacle with respect to such obligations shall exist (a “Repayment Suspension”).  Borrower and Borrowing Agent shall use their respective commercially reasonable best efforts to remove any such Legal Obstacle as promptly as practicable. Upon notification of a Repayment Suspension and for so long as the Repayment Suspension shall continue during any Pledge Period, Lender shall have the right, exercisable in it sole discretion, to direct the Collateral Agent to, and the Collateral Agent upon receipt of the written request of Lender (with a copy to Borrower) shall, release to Lender an amount of Collateral with a Market Value equal to the Market Value of all (or such fewer number as Lender may specify) of the Loaned Shares that are the subject of the Repayment Suspension, whereupon the Borrower’s obligation to return the specified number of Loaned Shares to the Lender shall be automatically extinguished.

(c)   If Borrower shall fail to deliver Loaned Shares to Lender pursuant to Section 6 when due or shall fail to pay the Replacement Cash to Lender when due in accordance with Section 12(a) or (b) above (to the extent Borrower is permitted and elects to pay Replacement Cash), then, in either case, in addition to any other remedies available to Lender under this Agreement or under applicable law, Lender shall have the right (without further notice to Borrower) to (i) purchase a like amount of Loaned Shares (“Replacement Shares”) in the principal market for such securities in a commercially reasonable manner, (ii) sell any Collateral in the principal market for such Collateral in a commercially reasonable manner and (iii) apply and set off the Collateral, if any, and any proceeds thereof (including any amounts drawn under a letter of credit supporting any Loan) against the payment of the purchase price for such Replacement Shares and any amounts due to Lender under this Agreement.  To the extent Lender shall exercise such right, Borrower’s obligation to return a like amount of Loaned Shares or to pay the Replacement Cash, as applicable, shall terminate and Borrower shall be liable to Lender for the purchase price of Replacement Shares (plus all other amounts, if any, due to Lender hereunder).  In the event that (i) the purchase price of Replacement Shares (plus all other amounts, if any, due to Lender hereunder) exceeds (ii) the amount of the Collateral, if any, Borrower shall be liable to Lender for the amount of such excess.  The purchase price of Replacement Shares purchased under this Section 12 shall include, and the proceeds of any sale of Collateral shall be determined after deduction of, broker’s fees and commissions and all other reasonable costs, fees and expenses related to such purchase and sale.  In the event Lender exercises its rights under this Section 12, Lender may elect in its sole discretion, in lieu of purchasing all or a portion of the Replacement Shares or selling all or a portion of the Collateral, if any, to be deemed to have made, respectively, such purchase of Replacement Shares or sale of Collateral for an amount equal to the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the date Lender

14




elects to exercise this remedy.  Upon the satisfaction of all Borrower’s obligations hereunder, any remaining Collateral shall be returned to Borrower.

Section 13.             Transfers.

(a)   All transfers of Loaned Shares to Borrower or to Lender hereunder shall be made by the crediting by a Clearing Organization of such financial assets to the transferee’s “securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC) maintained with such Clearing Organization.  All transfers of Collateral to Collateral Agent by Borrower shall be made by crediting the Collateral Account.  All transfers of Collateral to Lender by Collateral Agent shall be made in the manner directed by Lender.  In every transfer of “financial assets” (within the meaning of Section 8-102 of the UCC) hereunder, the transferor shall take all steps necessary (a) to effect a delivery to the transferee under Section 8-301 of the UCC, or to cause the creation of a security entitlement in favor of the transferee under Section 8-501 of the UCC, (b) to enable the transferee to obtain “control” (within the meaning of Section 8-106 of the UCC), and (c) to provide the transferee with comparable rights under any applicable foreign law or regulation.

(b)   All transfers of cash hereunder to Borrower or Lender shall be by wire transfer in immediately available, freely transferable funds.

(c)   A transfer of securities or cash may be effected under this Section 13 on any day except (i) a day on which the transferee is closed for business at its address set forth in Section 17 or (ii) a day on which a Clearing Organization or wire transfer system is closed, if the facilities of such Clearing Organization or wire transfer system are required to effect such transfer.

Section 14.             Indemnities.

(a)   Lender hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Borrower and its affiliates and its former, present and future directors, officers, employees and other agents and representatives from and against any and all liabilities, judgments, claims, settlements, losses, damages, fees, liens, taxes, penalties, obligations and expenses incurred or suffered by any such person or entity directly or indirectly arising from, by reason of, or in connection with, (i) any breach by Lender of any of its representations or warranties contained in Section 9 or (ii) any breach by Lender of any of its covenants or agreements in this Agreement.

(b)   Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lender and its affiliates and its former, present and future directors, officers, employees and other agents and representatives from and against any and all liabilities, judgments, claims, settlements, losses, damages, fees, liens, taxes, penalties, obligations and expenses , including without limitation any of the foregoing incurred pursuant to indemnification or other provisions of other agreements, incurred or suffered by any such person or entity directly or indirectly arising from, by reason of, or in connection with (i) any breach by Borrower of any of its representations or warranties contained in Section 9 or (ii) any breach by Borrower of any of its covenants or agreements in this Agreement.

15




(c)   In case any claim or litigation which might give rise to any obligation of a party under this Section 14 (each an “Indemnifying Party”) shall come to the attention of the party seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the existence and amount thereof; provided that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not adversely affect the right of the Indemnified Party to indemnification under this Agreement, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby.  The Indemnifying Party shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing if it accepts such claim or litigation as being within its indemnification obligations under this Section 14.  Such response shall be delivered no later than 30 days after the initial notification from the Indemnified Party; provided that, if the Indemnifying Party reasonably cannot respond to such notice within 30 days, the Indemnifying Party shall respond to the Indemnified Party as soon thereafter as reasonably possible.

(d)   An Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, if (i) in the judgment of the Indemnified Party such claim can properly be resolved by money damages alone and the Indemnifying Party has the financial resources to pay such damages and (ii) the Indemnifying Party admits that this indemnity fully covers the claim or litigation, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to direct the defense of any claim at its expense, but such defense shall be conducted by legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party.  An Indemnified Party shall not make any settlement of any claim or litigation under this Section 14 without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

Section 15.             Termination of Agreement.

(a)   This Agreement may be terminated (i) at any time by the written agreement of Lender and Borrower, (ii) by Lender upon the occurrence of a Default or (iii) upon the earlier of (A) August 1, 2027 and (B) the date on which the Lender has notified the Borrower in writing of its intention to terminate this Agreement at any time after the latest of (x) the date on which the entire principal amount of Convertible Notes ceases to be outstanding, (y) the date on which the entire principal amount of 1.25% Convertible Notes ceases to be outstanding and (z) the date on which the entire principal amount of any additional convertible securities of the Lender which the Lender has in writing consented to permit the Borrower to hedge under this Agreement ceases to be outstanding, in each case, whether as a result of conversion, redemption, repurchase, cancellation or otherwise.

(b)   Unless otherwise agreed by Borrower and Lender, the provisions of Section 14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

16




Section 16.             Registration Provisions.  If, following the initial Loan hereunder and registration of the initial Loaned Shares in respect of such Loan, any subsequent Loan and public sale of the Loaned Shares in respect of such subsequent Loan, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to Borrower, would require registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Lender shall register such sale in a form and manner reasonably satisfactory to Borrower, and shall enter into an underwriting agreement substantially in the form of the Underwriting Agreement dated as of July 25, 2007 relating to the issuance and sale of such initial Loaned Shares and shall afford Borrower and its representatives and agents an opportunity to conduct an appropriate “due diligence” investigation to Borrower’s reasonable satisfaction, all at the expense of Lender.  In no event shall this Section 16 require Lender to register shares of Common Stock in excess of the Maximum Number of Shares.

Section 17.             Notices.

(a)   All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when received.

of a designation of a successor Collateral Agent, each of the parties to this Agreement agrees to take all such actions as are reasonably necessary to effect the transfer of rights and obligations of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC as Collateral Agent hereunder to such successor Collateral Agent, including the execution and delivery of amendments to this Agreement as shall be necessary to effect such designation and transfer.

Maximum Number of Shares” means 2,947,132  shares of Common Stock, subject to the following adjustments:

(a)          If, as the result of a stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased or decreased, the Maximum Number of Shares shall, effective as of the payment or delivery date of any such event, be proportionally increased or decreased, as the case may be.

(b)         If, pursuant to a merger, consolidation, other business combination, reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization or other corporate action (including, without limitation, a reorganization in bankruptcy), in each case involving an Unaffiliated Third Party, the Common Stock is exchanged for or converted into cash, securities or other property, the Maximum Number of Shares shall be reduced to zero on the effective date of such event.

(a)          On or prior to the Cutoff Time on February 7, 2007, Borrower provided written notice to Lender (a “Borrowing Notice”), pursuant to which Borrower initiated a transaction in which Lender loaned Loaned Shares to Borrower through the issuance by Lender of such Loaned Shares to Borrower upon the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth in this Agreement (such issuance and loan, the “Loan”).  The Loan was confirmed by a schedule and receipt listing the Loaned Shares provided by Lender to Borrower (the “Confirmation”).  The Confirmation constitutes conclusive evidence with respect to the Loan, including the number of shares of Common Stock that are the subject of the Loan.  Borrower shall not deliver more than one Borrowing Notice pursuant to this Agreement.  Such Borrowing Notice was delivered by Borrower on February 2, 2007, and accordingly Borrower shall not be entitled to deliver any further Borrowing Notices.

(b)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Borrower shall not borrow shares of Common Stock to the extent that Borrower determines that any Loan of such shares of Common Stock shall cause Borrower to become, directly or indirectly, a “beneficial owner” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, a “Beneficial Owner”) of more than 9.9% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time.  Under no circumstances shall Lender be liable to Borrower for any Loan in contravention of this Section 2(b).

Section 3.                                            Collateral.

(b)         During any Pledge Period, any Collateral transferred by Borrower to Collateral Agent shall be security for Borrower’s obligations in respect of the Loaned Shares and for any other obligations of Borrower to Lender hereunder.  Borrower on the Pledge Date pledges with, assigns to, and grants Collateral Agent for the benefit of Lender a continuing first priority

security interest in, and a lien upon, the Collateral, which shall attach upon the transfer of the Loaned Shares by Lender to Borrower and which shall cease upon the transfer of the Loaned Shares by Borrower to Lender, a Credit Upgrade or upon the transfer of such Collateral to Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  In addition to the rights and remedies given to Lender hereunder, Lender shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC.  To provide for the effectiveness, validity, perfection and priority of Lender’s rights as a secured party, Borrower acknowledges that Collateral Agent has obtained control of any financial assets included in the Collateral (or shall have obtained control upon posting of such Collateral pursuant to the terms contained herein) within the meaning of Sections 8-106 and 9-106 of the UCC.  Collateral Agent acknowledges that it has control of the Collateral (or shall have control upon posting of such collateral pursuant to the terms contained herein) on behalf of Lender within the meaning of Section 8-106(d)(1) of the UCC.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Lender may not use or invest the Collateral and Collateral Agent shall take no instruction from Lender regarding the use or investment of Collateral.  Promptly upon the termination of any Pledge Period, the Collateral Agent shall release to the Borrower all of the Collateral.

(c)          Borrower shall, promptly at the request of the Collateral Agent, execute all documents and do all things reasonably required by the Collateral Agent to enable the Collateral Agent to register, within 21 days of the Pledge Date, the security interest created by this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 1985 (United Kingdom).  The Borrower further agrees that if so requested by the Collateral Agent at any time, to promptly execute all documents (including any security agreements and transfers) and do all things (including the delivery, transfer, assignment or payment of all or part of the Collateral to the Collateral Agent or its nominee(s)) that the Collateral Agent may reasonably specify for the purpose of (a) exercising the rights to the Collateral or (b) securing and perfecting its security over or title to all or any part of the Collateral (including transferring the Collateral into the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee(s)).

(d)         Except as otherwise provided herein, upon the transfer to Lender of Loaned Shares pursuant to Section 6, Collateral Agent shall release to Borrower Collateral with a Market Value equal to the Collateral Percentage of the Market Value of the Loaned Shares so transferred but only to the extent that immediately following such transfer of Collateral, no Collateral Deficit would exist.  Such transfer of Collateral shall be made no later than the Cutoff Time on the day the Loaned Shares are transferred, or if such day is not a day on which a transfer of such Collateral may be effected under Section 13, or if the transfer of Loaned Shares by Lender to Borrower occurs after the Cutoff Time on such day, then in each case the next day on which such a transfer may be effected.

(e)          If Borrower transfers Collateral to Collateral Agent, as provided in this Section 3, and Lender does not transfer (or has not transferred) the Loaned Shares to Borrower, Borrower shall have the absolute right to the return of the Collateral; and if Lender transfers Loaned Shares to Borrower and Borrower does not transfer Collateral to Collateral Agent as provided in this Section 3, Lender shall have the absolute right to the return of the Loaned Shares.

7




(f)            Borrower may, upon notice to Lender and Collateral Agent, substitute Collateral for Collateral securing any Loan or Loans; provided that such substituted Collateral shall have a Market Value such that the aggregate Market Value of such substituted Collateral, together with all other Collateral, shall equal or exceed the Collateral Percentage of the Market Value of the Loaned Shares as of the date of such substitution.

Section 4.                                            Mark to Market.

(a)          During any Pledge Period, if at the close of trading on any Business Day during the Loan Availability Period the aggregate Market Value of all Collateral shall be less than the Collateral Percentage of the Market Value of all the outstanding Loaned Shares (a “Collateral Deficit”), Lender may, by notice to Borrower and Collateral Agent, demand that Borrower transfer to Collateral Agent, for deposit to the Collateral Account, no later than the following Business Day, additional Collateral so that the Market Value of such additional Collateral, when added to the Market Value of all other Collateral, shall equal or exceed the Collateral Percentage of the Market Value of the Loaned Shares on such Business Day of determination.

(b)         During any Pledge Period, if at the close of trading on any Business Day during the Loan Availability Period the aggregate Market Value of all Collateral shall be greater than the Collateral Percentage of the Market Value of all the outstanding Loaned Shares (a “Collateral Excess”), Borrower may, by notice to Lender and Collateral Agent, demand that Collateral Agent transfer to Borrower such amount of the Collateral selected by Borrower so that the Market Value of the Collateral, after deduction of such amounts, shall thereupon be at least equal to the Collateral Percentage of the Market Value of the Loaned Shares on such Business Day of determination; provided however that with respect to clauses (a) and (b), the Collateral Agent will promptly give Lender a statement setting forth the Market Value of all Collateral upon Lender’s request and Lender shall have the right to audit the Market Value of all Collateral.

(c)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any outstanding Loans secured by Collateral, the respective rights of Lender and Borrower under Section 4(a) and Section 4(b) may be exercised only where a Collateral Excess or Collateral Deficit exceeds 5% of the Market Value of the Loaned Shares.

Section 5.                                            Loan Fee.  Borrower paid Lender a single loan fee for the Loan (the “Loan Fee”) equal to $0.001 per Loaned Share.  The Loan Fee was paid by Borrower on or before the time of transfer of the Loaned Shares on a delivery-versus-payment basis through the facilities of the Clearing Organization.

Section 6.                                            Loan Terminations.

(a)          Borrower may terminate all or any portion of a Loan on any Business Day by giving written notice thereof to Lender and transferring the corresponding number of Loaned Shares to Lender, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof by Lender to Borrower.

(b)         All outstanding Loans, if any, on the last day of the Loan Availability Period shall terminate on the first Business Day following the last day of the Loan Availability Period (the

8




Facility Termination Date”) and all outstanding Loaned Shares shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof by Lender to Borrower, no later than the fifth Business Day following the Facility Termination Date.

(c)          If on any date, the number of Loaned Shares exceeds the Maximum Number of Shares, the number of Loaned Shares in excess of the Maximum Number of Shares shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof by Lender to Borrower, no later than the third Business Day following such date (the “Delivery Due Date”). If as a result of complying with this Section 6(c), Borrower would become a Beneficial Owner of more than 9.9% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time, then Borrower shall be permitted to extend the Delivery Due Date for all or a portion of the corresponding delivery obligation and in no event no longer than such time to allow Borrower to return, as promptly as reasonably practicable (but subject to applicable law, regulation or policy), such Loaned Shares, through one transaction or a series of transactions, without causing Borrower to become, directly or indirectly a Beneficial Owner of more than 9.9% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time. If a Loan is terminated upon the occurrence of a Default as set forth in Section 11, the Loaned Shares shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof by Lender to Borrower, no later than the third Business Day following the termination date of such Loan as provided in Section 11.

(d)         If the Lender notifies the Borrower in writing at least seven Business Days prior to the anticipated consummation of an Early Return Event (the “Anticipated Early Return Event Closing Date”), that it wishes to have the Loans terminated with respect to all Unused Shares, then no later than the Business Day prior to the Anticipated Early Return Event Closing Date, Borrower shall transfer to Lender all Unused Shares as of the fifth Business Day prior to the Anticipated Early Return Closing Date, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof by Lender to Borrower.

Section 7.                                            Distributions.

(a)          If at any time when there are Loaned Shares outstanding under this Agreement, Lender pays a cash dividend or makes a cash distribution in respect of its outstanding Common Stock to the then holder or holders of such Loaned Shares, Borrower shall pay to Lender (whether or not Borrower is a holder of any or all of the outstanding Loan Shares), within one Business Day after the payment of such dividend or distribution, an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the amount per share of such dividend or distribution and (ii) the number of Loaned Shares on which the dividend or distribution was paid.

(b)         If at any time when there are Loaned Shares outstanding under this Agreement, Lender makes a distribution in respect of its outstanding Common Stock in property or securities, including any options, warrants, rights or privileges in respect of securities (other than a distribution of Common Stock, but including any options, warrants, rights or privileges exercisable for, convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) to the then holder or holders of such Loaned Shares (a “Non-Cash Distribution”), Borrower shall deliver to Lender (whether or not Borrower is a holder of any or all of the outstanding Loan Shares) in kind, within

9




one Business Day after the date of such Non-Cash Distribution, the property or securities distributed in an amount equal to the product of (i) the amount per share of Common Stock of such Non-Cash Distribution and (ii) the number of Loaned Shares on which such Non-Cash Distribution was made.

(c)          Any interest, cash distribution or cash dividend made on or in respect of any Collateral for any Loan hereunder, shall, subject to (e) below, be delivered by the Collateral Agent to Borrower, on the date such interest, cash distribution or cash dividend is received by the Collateral Agent.

(d)         Any non-cash distributions or dividend made on or in respect of any Collateral for any Loan hereunder shall, subject to (e) below, be delivered by the Collateral Agent to Borrower on the date such non-cash distribution or dividend is received by the Collateral Agent.

(e)          If the cash or other property received by the Collateral Agent under the provisions of paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section 7 qualifies as Collateral, to the extent that a transfer of such cash or other property to Borrower by the Collateral Agent would give rise to a Collateral Deficit, the Collateral Agent shall (only to the extent of any such Collateral Deficit) not make such transfer of cash or other property in accordance with this Section 7, but shall in lieu of such transfer immediately credit the amounts that would otherwise have been transferable under this Section 7 to the Collateral Account.

Section 8.                                            Rights in Respect of Loaned Shares.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, and except as otherwise agreed by Borrower and Lender, Borrower, insofar as it is the record owner of Loaned Shares, shall have all of the incidents of ownership in respect of any such Loaned Shares until such Loaned Shares are required to be delivered to Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including the right to transfer the Loaned Shares to others.  Borrower agrees that it or any of its affiliates that are the record owner of any Loaned Shares will not vote such Loaned Shares on any matter submitted to a vote of Lender’s shareholders.

Section 9.                                            Representations and Warranties.

(a)          Each of Borrower and Lender represent and warrant to the other that:

(i)                                     it has full power to execute and deliver this Agreement, to enter into the Loans contemplated hereby and to perform its obligations hereunder;

(ii)                                  it has taken all necessary action to authorize such execution, delivery and performance;

(iii)                               this Agreement constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable against it in accordance with its terms; and

(iv)                              the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does not and will not violate, contravene, or constitute a default under, (A) its

10




certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other governing documents, (B) any laws, rules or regulations of any governmental authority to which it is subject, (C) any contracts, agreements or instrument to which it is a party or (D) any judgment, injunction, order or decree by which it is bound.

(b)         Lender represents and warrants to Borrower, as of the date hereof, and as of the date any Loaned Shares are transferred to Borrower in respect of any Loan hereunder, that the Loaned Shares and all other outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Lender have been duly authorized and, upon the issuance and delivery of the Loaned Shares to Borrower in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, and subject to the contemporaneous or prior receipt of the applicable Loan Fee by Lender, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid nonassessible shares of Common Stock; and the stockholders of Lender have no preemptive rights with respect to the Loaned Shares.

(c)          Lender represents and warrants to Borrower, as of the date hereof, and as of the date any Loaned Shares are transferred to Borrower in respect of any Loan hereunder, that the outstanding shares of Common Stock are listed on NASDAQ Global Market (“NASDAQ”) and the Loaned Shares have been approved for listing on NASDAQ, subject to official notice of issuance.

(d)         Borrower represents to Lender that it shall have at the time of transfer to the Collateral Agent, the right to grant to Lender, and that Lender shall acquire, a continuing first priority security interest in the Collateral, if any.

(e)          The representations and warranties of Borrower and Lender under this Section 9 shall remain in full force and effect at all times during the term of this Agreement and shall survive the termination for any reason of this Agreement.

Section 10.                                      Covenants.

(a)          Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender that it will not transfer or dispose of any Loaned Shares initially transferred to Borrower by Lender as a Loan hereunder of which it is the record owner except pursuant to a registration statement that is effective under the Securities Act; provided that Borrower may transfer any such Loaned Shares to any of its affiliates without a registration statement so long as such affiliate transferee does not transfer or dispose of such Loaned Shares to any non-affiliated transferee except pursuant to a registration statement that is effective under the Securities Act.

(b)         The parties hereto acknowledge that Borrower has informed Lender that Borrower is a “financial institution” within the meaning of Section 101(22) of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”).  The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that (i) each Loan hereunder is intended to be a “securities contract,” as such term is defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code; (ii) each and every transfer of funds, securities and other property under this Agreement is intended to be a “settlement payment” or a “margin payment,” as such terms are used in Sections 362(b)(6) and 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (iii) the

11




rights given to Lender hereunder upon a Default by Borrower are intended to constitute the rights to cause the liquidation of a securities contract and to set off mutual debts and claims in connection with a securities contract, as such terms are used in Sections 555 and 362(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(c)          Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender that insofar as it is the record owner of any Loaned Shares, such Loaned Shares will be used, if at all, solely for the purpose of directly or indirectly (x) facilitating the sale and the hedging of the Convertible Notes by the holders thereof, (y) facilitating the sale and the hedging of the 0.75% Convertible Notes by the holders thereof or (z) with the written consent of the Lender, facilitating the sale and the hedging of any additional convertible securities which the Lender may issue from time to time by the holders thereof.

Section 11.                                      Events of Default.

(a)          All Loans, and any further obligation to make Loans under this Agreement, may, at the option of Lender by a written notice to Borrower (which option shall be deemed exercised, even if no notice is given, immediately on the occurrence of an event specified in Section 11(a)(iv) below), be terminated (i) immediately on the occurrence of any of the events set forth in Section 11(a)(iv) below and (ii) two Business Days following such notice on the occurrence of any of the other events set forth below, (each, a “Default”):

(i)                                     Borrower fails to deliver Loaned Shares to Lender as required by Section 6;

(ii)                                  Borrower fails to deliver or pay to Lender when due any cash, securities or other property as required by Section 7;

(iii)                               Borrower fails to transfer Collateral when due as required by Section 3 and Section 4;

(iv)                              the occurrence of any of the following:

(A)                              the Borrower is unable or admits its inability to pay its debts as they fall due, suspends making payments (whether principal or interest) on any of its debts or announces an intention to do so or, by reason of actual or anticipated financial difficulties, commences negotiations with one or more of its creditors with a view to rescheduling any of its indebtedness or is otherwise deemed unable to pay its debts within the meaning of section 123(a), (b), or (2) of the Insolvency Act 1986 (United Kingdom); and/or

(B)                                any corporate action, legal proceedings or other procedure or step is taken in relation to:

(a)                                  the suspension of its payments, a moratorium of any of its indebtedness, its winding-up, its dissolution,  its

12




administration or reorganization (by way of voluntary arrangement, scheme of arrangement or otherwise) other than a solvent liquidation or reorganization with another entity with which it forms a group or an order is made or a resolution passed for its winding up;

(b)                                 a composition, compromise, assignment or arrangement with any of its creditors;

(c)                                  the appointment of a liquidator, receiver, administrative receiver administrator, compulsory manager or other similar officer in respect of it or of its assets; or

(d)                                 enforcement of any security interests created over any of its assets;

or any analogous procedure or step is taken in respect of it in any jurisdiction;

(v)                                 Borrower fails to provide any indemnity as required by Section 14;

(vi)                              Borrower notifies Lender of its inability to or intention not to perform Borrower’s obligations hereunder or otherwise disaffirms, rejects or repudiates any of its obligations hereunder; or

(vii)                           Any representation made by Borrower under this Agreement in connection with any Loan or Loans hereunder shall be incorrect or untrue in any material respect during the term of any Loan hereunder or Borrower fails to comply in any material respect with any of its covenants under this Agreement.

Section 12.                                      Lender’s Remedies.

(a)          Upon the termination of any Loan by Lender under Section 11, Borrower may, with the prior written consent of Lender (which consent may be withheld at Lender’s sole discretion; provided however that, Lender shall not withhold such request if Borrower as a result would unavoidably become, directly or indirectly, a Beneficial Owner of more than 9.9% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time), in lieu of the delivery of Loaned Shares to Lender in accordance with Section 6, pay to Lender, no later than one Business Day following notice of such Default to Borrower, an amount in immediately available funds (the “Replacement Cash”) equal to the product of the Closing Price as of the date of such notice of Default and the number of Loaned Shares otherwise required to be delivered; provided that if Lender consents to the delivery of Replacement Cash, Borrower may direct the Collateral Agent to deliver to Lender any Collateral held by the Collateral Agent in respect of the Loan so terminated and, to the extent the Market Value of any such Collateral delivered to Lender is less than the required amount of Replacement Cash, pay to Lender such difference in immediately available funds.  Any Collateral in respect of the Loan so terminated that is not so delivered to Lender pursuant to this clause shall, upon payment in full of the Replacement Cash to Lender, be immediately delivered by Collateral Agent to Borrower.

13




(b)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if, upon the termination of any Loan by Lender under Section 11 and, at the time of such termination, the purchase of Common Stock in an amount equal to the Loaned Shares to be delivered to Lender in accordance with Section 6 shall (i) be prohibited by any law, rules or regulation of any governmental authority to which it is or would be subject, (ii) violate, or would upon such purchase likely violate, any order or prohibition of any court, tribunal or other governmental authority or (iii) require the prior consent of any court, tribunal or governmental authority prior to any such repurchase (each of (i), (ii) and (iii), a (“Legal Obstacle”), then, in each case, Borrower shall immediately notify Lender of the Legal Obstacle and the basis therefor, whereupon Borrower’s obligations under Section 6 shall be suspended until such time as no Legal Obstacle with respect to such obligations shall exist (a “Repayment Suspension”).  Borrower and Borrowing Agent shall use their respective commercially reasonable best efforts to remove any such Legal Obstacle as promptly as practicable. Upon notification of a Repayment Suspension and for so long as the Repayment Suspension shall continue during any Pledge Period, Lender shall have the right, exercisable in it sole discretion, to direct the Collateral Agent to, and the Collateral Agent upon receipt of the written request of Lender (with a copy to Borrower) shall, release to Lender an amount of Collateral with a Market Value equal to the Market Value of all (or such fewer number as Lender may specify) of the Loaned Shares that are the subject of the Repayment Suspension, whereupon the Borrower’s obligation to return the specified number of Loaned Shares to the Lender shall be automatically extinguished.

(c)          If Borrower shall fail to deliver Loaned Shares to Lender pursuant to Section 6 when due or shall fail to pay the Replacement Cash to Lender when due in accordance with Section 12(a) or (b) above (to the extent Borrower is permitted and elects to pay Replacement Cash), then, in either case, in addition to any other remedies available to Lender under this Agreement or under applicable law, Lender shall have the right (without further notice to Borrower) to (i) purchase a like amount of Loaned Shares (“Replacement Shares”) in the principal market for such securities in a commercially reasonable manner, (ii) sell any Collateral in the principal market for such Collateral in a commercially reasonable manner and (iii) apply and set off the Collateral, if any, and any proceeds thereof (including any amounts drawn under a letter of credit supporting any Loan) against the payment of the purchase price for such Replacement Shares and any amounts due to Lender under this Agreement.  To the extent Lender shall exercise such right, Borrower’s obligation to return a like amount of Loaned Shares or to pay the Replacement Cash, as applicable, shall terminate and Borrower shall be liable to Lender for the purchase price of Replacement Shares (plus all other amounts, if any, due to Lender hereunder).  In the event that (i) the purchase price of Replacement Shares (plus all other amounts, if any, due to Lender hereunder) exceeds (ii) the amount of the Collateral, if any, Borrower shall be liable to Lender for the amount of such excess.  The purchase price of Replacement Shares purchased under this Section 12 shall include, and the proceeds of any sale of Collateral shall be determined after deduction of, broker’s fees and commissions and all other reasonable costs, fees and expenses related to such purchase and sale.  In the event Lender exercises its rights under this Section 12, Lender may elect in its sole discretion, in lieu of purchasing all or a portion of the Replacement Shares or selling all or a portion of the Collateral, if any, to be deemed to have made, respectively, such purchase of Replacement Shares or sale of Collateral for an amount equal to the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the date Lender

14




elects to exercise this remedy.  Upon the satisfaction of all Borrower’s obligations hereunder, any remaining Collateral shall be returned to Borrower.

Section 13.                                      Transfers.

(a)          All transfers of Loaned Shares to Borrower or to Lender hereunder shall be made by the crediting by a Clearing Organization of such financial assets to the transferee’s “securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC) maintained with such Clearing Organization.  All transfers of Collateral to Collateral Agent by Borrower shall be made by crediting the Collateral Account.  All transfers of Collateral to Lender by Collateral Agent shall be made in the manner directed by Lender.  In every transfer of “financial assets” (within the meaning of Section 8-102 of the UCC) hereunder, the transferor shall take all steps necessary (a) to effect a delivery to the transferee under Section 8-301 of the UCC, or to cause the creation of a security entitlement in favor of the transferee under Section 8-501 of the UCC, (b) to enable the transferee to obtain “control” (within the meaning of Section 8-106 of the UCC), and (c) to provide the transferee with comparable rights under any applicable foreign law or regulation.

(b)         All transfers of cash hereunder to Borrower or Lender shall be by wire transfer in immediately available, freely transferable funds.

(c)          A transfer of securities or cash may be effected under this Section 13 on any day except (i) a day on which the transferee is closed for business at its address set forth in Section 17 or (ii) a day on which a Clearing Organization or wire transfer system is closed, if the facilities of such Clearing Organization or wire transfer system are required to effect such transfer.

Section 14.                                      Indemnities.

(a)          Lender hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Borrower and its affiliates and its former, present and future directors, officers, employees and other agents and representatives from and against any and all liabilities, judgments, claims, settlements, losses, damages, fees, liens, taxes, penalties, obligations and expenses incurred or suffered by any such person or entity directly or indirectly arising from, by reason of, or in connection with, (i) any breach by Lender of any of its representations or warranties contained in Section 9 or (ii) any breach by Lender of any of its covenants or agreements in this Agreement.

(b)         Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lender and its affiliates and its former, present and future directors, officers, employees and other agents and representatives from and against any and all liabilities, judgments, claims, settlements, losses, damages, fees, liens, taxes, penalties, obligations and expenses, including without limitation any of the foregoing incurred pursuant to indemnification or other provisions of other agreements, incurred or suffered by any such person or entity directly or indirectly arising from, by reason of, or in connection with (i) any breach by Borrower of any of its representations or warranties contained in Section 9 or (ii) any breach by Borrower of any of its covenants or agreements in this Agreement.

15




(c)          In case any claim or litigation which might give rise to any obligation of a party under this Section 14 (each an “Indemnifying Party”) shall come to the attention of the party seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the existence and amount thereof; provided that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not adversely affect the right of the Indemnified Party to indemnification under this Agreement, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby.  The Indemnifying Party shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing if it accepts such claim or litigation as being within its indemnification obligations under this Section 14.  Such response shall be delivered no later than 30 days after the initial notification from the Indemnified Party; provided that, if the Indemnifying Party reasonably cannot respond to such notice within 30 days, the Indemnifying Party shall respond to the Indemnified Party as soon thereafter as reasonably possible.

(d)         An Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, if (i) in the judgment of the Indemnified Party such claim can properly be resolved by money damages alone and the Indemnifying Party has the financial resources to pay such damages and (ii) the Indemnifying Party admits that this indemnity fully covers the claim or litigation, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to direct the defense of any claim at its expense, but such defense shall be conducted by legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party.  An Indemnified Party shall not make any settlement of any claim or litigation under this Section 14 without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

Section 15.                                      Termination of Agreement.

(a)          This Agreement may be terminated (i) at any time by the written agreement of Lender and Borrower, (ii) by Lender upon the occurrence of a Default or (iii) upon the earlier of (A) August 1, 2027 and (B) the date on which the Lender has notified the Borrower in writing of its intention to terminate this Agreement at any time after the latest of (x) the date on which the entire principal amount of Convertible Notes ceases to be outstanding, (y) the date on which the entire principal amount of 0.75% Convertible Notes ceases to be outstanding and (z) the date on which the entire principal amount of any additional convertible securities of the Lender which the Lender has in writing consented to permit the Borrower to hedge under this Agreement ceases to be outstanding, in each case, whether as a result of conversion, redemption, repurchase, cancellation or otherwise.

(b)         Unless otherwise agreed by Borrower and Lender, the provisions of Section 14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

16




Section 16.                                      Registration Provisions.  If, following the initial Loan hereunder and registration of the initial Loaned Shares in respect of such Loan, any subsequent Loan and public sale of the Loaned Shares in respect of such subsequent Loan, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to Borrower, would require registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Lender shall register such sale in a form and manner reasonably satisfactory to Borrower, and shall enter into an underwriting agreement substantially in the form of the Underwriting Agreement dated as of February 2, 2007 relating to the issuance and sale of such initial Loaned Shares and shall afford Borrower and its representatives and agents an opportunity to conduct an appropriate “due diligence” investigation to Borrower’s reasonable satisfaction, all at the expense of Lender.  In no event shall this Section 16 require Lender to register shares of Common Stock in excess of the Maximum Number of Shares.

(1)    These computations include SunPower Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. For purposes of computing this ratio of earnings to fixed charges, “fixed charges” consist of interest expense on all indebtedness and that portion of rental expense deemed to be representative of interest. Earnings consist of income (loss) before income taxes and minority interest share of our subsidiary losses, plus fixed charges.

(2)    Dollar amount of deficiency is the amount of earnings required to attain a ratio of 1:1.
