     2. Registration Under the Securities Act.

     (a) The Company agrees to file under the Securities Act within 180 days after the
Closing Date, a shelf registration statement providing for the registration of, and the sale
on a continuous or delayed basis by the Holders of, all of the Registrable Securities,
pursuant to Rule 415 or any similar rule that may be adopted by the Commission. The Company
agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to
become or be declared effective within 180 days after the Closing Date and to keep such
Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until the earlier of (i) the second
anniversary of the Closing Date or (ii) such time as there are no longer any Registrable
Securities outstanding (the “Effective Period”).

     (b) The Company further agrees that it shall cause the Shelf Registration Statement and
the related Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the effective date of
the Shelf Registration Statement or such amendment or supplement, (i)

4

 

to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities
Act; and (ii) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made) not misleading, and the Company agrees to furnish to the Holders of the
Registrable Securities copies of any supplement or amendment prior to its being used or
promptly following its filing with the Commission; provided, however, that the Company shall
have no obligation to deliver to Holders of Registrable Securities copies of any amendment
consisting exclusively of an Exchange Act report or other Exchange Act filing otherwise
publicly available on the Company’s website.

     (c) Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees that if such Holder wishes to sell
Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and related Prospectus,
it will do so only in accordance with this Section 2(c) and Section 3(b). From and after
the date the Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective, the Company shall, as
promptly as is practicable after the date a Notice and Questionnaire is delivered, and in
any event within fifteen Business Days after such date,

        (i) if required by applicable law, file with the Commission a post-effective
amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement or prepare and, if required by
applicable law, file a supplement to the related Prospectus or a supplement or
amendment to any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other
required document so that the Holder delivering such Notice and Questionnaire is
named as a selling security holder in the Shelf Registration Statement and the
related Prospectus in such a manner as to permit such Holder to deliver such
Prospectus to purchasers of the Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable
law and, if the Company shall file a post-effective amendment to the Shelf
Registration Statement, use its reasonable efforts to cause such post-effective
amendment to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably
practicable;

        (ii) provide such Holder copies of any documents filed pursuant to Section
2(c)(i); and

        (iii) notify such Holder as promptly as practicable after the effectiveness
under the Securities Act of any post-effective amendment filed pursuant to Section
2(c)(i);

provided that the Company shall not be required to make more than one such filing in any
calendar quarter in the form of a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration
Statement; provided, further, that if such Notice and Questionnaire is delivered during a
Deferral Period, the Company shall so inform the Holder delivering such Notice and
Questionnaire and shall take the actions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above upon
expiration of the Deferral Period in accordance with Section 3(b). Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to name any
Holder that is not a Notice Holder as a selling securityholder in any Shelf Registration
Statement or related Prospectus; provided, however, that any Holder that

5

 

becomes a Notice Holder pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2(c) (whether or not such
Holder was a Notice Holder at the time the Shelf Registration Statement was declared
effective) shall be named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement or
related Prospectus in accordance with the requirements of this Section 2(c).

     (d) If any of the following events (any such event a “Registration Default”) shall
occur, then additional interest (the “Additional Interest”) shall become payable by the
Company to Holders in respect of the Debentures as follows:

        (i) if the Shelf Registration Statement is not filed and declared effective by
the Commission within 180 days following the Closing Date, then commencing on the
181st day after the Closing Date, Additional Interest shall accrue on the
principal amount of the outstanding Debentures that are Registrable Securities at a
rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days following such 181st day
and at a rate of 0.5% per annum thereafter;

        (ii) if the Company has failed to perform its obligations set forth in Section
2(c) hereof within the time periods required therein, then commencing on the first
day after the date by which the Company was required to perform such obligations,
Additional Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the outstanding
Debentures that are Registrable Securities at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the
first 90 days and at a rate of 0.5% per annum thereafter;

        (iii) if the Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective but such
Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective at any time during the Effective
Period (other than pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof), then commencing on the day such
Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective, Additional Interest shall
accrue on the principal amount of the outstanding Debentures that are Registrable
Securities at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days following such date on
which the Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective and at a rate of 0.5%
per annum thereafter; and

        (iv) if the aggregate duration of Deferral Periods in any period exceeds the
number of days permitted in respect of such period pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof,
then commencing on the day the aggregate duration of Deferral Periods in any period
exceeds the number of days permitted in respect of such period (and again on the
first day of any subsequent Deferral Period during such period), Additional Interest
shall accrue on the principal amount of the outstanding Debentures that are
Registrable Securities at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days and at a
rate of 0.5% per annum thereafter;

provided, however, that the Additional Interest rate on the Debentures shall not exceed in
the aggregate 0.5% per annum and shall not be payable under more than one clause above for
any given period of time, except that if Additional Interest would be payable under more
than one clause above, but at a rate of 0.25% per annum under one clause and at a rate of
0.5% per annum under the other, then the Additional Interest rate shall be the higher rate
of 0.5% per annum; provided further, however, that (1) upon the filing and

6

 

effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement (in the case of clause (i) above), (2)
upon the performance by the Company of its obligations set forth in Section 2(c) hereof
within the time periods required therein (in the case of clause (ii) above), (3) upon the
effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement which had ceased to remain effective (in
the case of clause (iii) above), (4) upon the termination of the Deferral Period that caused
the limit on the aggregate duration of Deferral Periods in a period set forth in Section
3(b) to be exceeded (in the case of clause (iv) above), (5) upon the termination of transfer
restrictions on the Securities as a result of the application of Rule 144(k) or any
successor provision or (6) after the end of the Effective Period, Additional Interest on the
Debentures as a result of such clause, as the case may be, shall cease to accrue.

     Additional Interest on the Debentures, if any, will be payable in arrears and will be
payable in cash on June 15 and December 15 of each year to holders of record of outstanding
Debentures that are Registrable Securities at the close of business on June 1 or December 1,
as the case may be, immediately preceding the relevant interest payment date, provided that
in the case of an event of the type described in clause (ii) above, such Additional Interest
shall be paid only to the Holders that have delivered Notice and Questionnaires that caused
the Company to incur the obligations set forth in Section 2(c), the non-performance of which
is the basis of such Registration Default; provided further that Additional Interest shall
not accrue with respect to any Debentures or portion thereof called for redemption on a
redemption date or converted into Shares on a conversion date prior to the Registration
Default. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults requiring the payment of
Additional Interest to the Holders of Debentures that are Registrable Securities pursuant to
this Section, the accrual of Additional Interest will cease (without in any way limiting the
effect of any subsequent Registration Default requiring the payment of Additional Interest).
Additional Interest on the Debentures, if any, will accrue from and including the date on
which any Registration Default occurs to but excluding the date on which all Registration
Defaults have been cured. If a Holder exchanges some or all of the Securities into shares
of Common Stock, the Holder will not be entitled to receive
Additional Interest on such shares of Common Stock.

     The Company shall notify the Trustee immediately upon the occurrence of each and every
Registration Default. The Trustee shall be entitled, on behalf of Holders of Securities, to
enforce this Agreement and specifically, the requirement that the Company pay Additional
Interest if any becomes due. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that the sole
monetary damages payable for a violation of the terms of this Agreement with respect to
which additional monetary amounts are expressly provided shall be as set forth in this
Section 2(d). Nothing shall preclude a Notice Holder or Holder of Registrable Securities
from pursuing or obtaining specific performance or other equitable relief with respect to
this Agreement.

        3. Registration Procedures.

        The following provisions shall apply to the Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to
Section 2:

          (a) The Company shall:

7

registration statement to become effective in accordance with Section 2(a) above;

        (ii) before filing any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or any

        (iii) use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with the Commission

all Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement during the Effective
Period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof
set forth in such Shelf Registration Statement as so amended or such Prospectus as
so supplemented;

        (iv) as promptly as reasonably practicable, notify the Notice Holders of
Registrable Securities:

Shelf Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same
has become effective;

           (B) of any request, following the effectiveness of the Shelf

governmental authority for amendments or supplements to the Shelf
Registration Statement or related Prospectus or for additional information

material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, or any Prospectus shall contain 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,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading
provided, however, that no notice by the Company shall be required pursuant
to this clause (E) in the event that the Company either promptly files a
prospectus supplement to update the Prospectus or a Form 8-K or other
appropriate Exchange Act report that is incorporated by reference into the
Shelf Registration Statement, which, in either case, contains the requisite
information with respect to such Material Event that results in such Shelf
Registration Statement no longer containing any untrue statement of material
fact or omitting to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
contained therein not misleading;

           (F) of the determination by the Company that a post-effective amendment
to the Shelf Registration Statement will be filed with the Commission, which

the provisions of Section 3(b) shall apply; or

           (G) at any time when a Prospectus is required to be delivered under the
Securities Act, that the Shelf Registration Statement, Prospectus,

necessary or advisable to enable the offer and sale in such jurisdictions of
the Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement; provided that the

        (viii) upon reasonable written notice in connection with any disposition of
Securities, for a reasonable period prior to the filing of the Shelf Registration
Statement and throughout any portion of the Effective Period that is not a Deferral
Period, (i) make reasonably available for inspection by a representative of, and
Special Counsel acting for, the Majority Holders of the Securities being sold, all
relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties
of the Company and its Subsidiaries and (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts
to have its officers, employees, accountants and counsel make available all relevant
information reasonably requested by such representative, Special Counsel, in each
case as is customary for the Company in its past practice to provide to underwriters
or initial purchasers for similar “due diligence” examinations in connection with
the offering of securities by the Company; provided, however, that the Company may
require any such person to enter into a non-disclosure agreement in form and
substance acceptable to the Company with respect to any confidential information
that may be provided to any such person;

        (ix) if reasonably requested in writing by the Initial Purchaser or any Notice

nationally-recognized counsel experienced in such matters, determine to be
required to be included therein by applicable law and make any required filings of
such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as promptly as

to be incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits; provided, however, that
the Company shall have no obligation to deliver to Notice Holders or the Initial
Purchaser a copy of any amendment consisting exclusively of an Exchange Act report
or other Exchange Act filing otherwise publicly available on the Company’s website;

        (xi) during the Effective Period, deliver to each Notice Holder in connection
with any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration
Statement, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus relating to such
Registrable Securities (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendment or
supplement thereto as such Notice Holder may reasonably request; and the Company
hereby consents (except during such periods that a Deferral Notice is outstanding
and has not been revoked) to the use of such Prospectus or each amendment or
supplement thereto by each Notice Holder in connection with any offering and sale of
the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto in the manner set forth therein; and

        (xii) during the Effective Period, cooperate with the Notice Holders of
Securities to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates

Business Days prior to settlement of sales of Securities pursuant to such Shelf
Registration Statement; provided, that nothing herein shall require the Company to
deliver certificated Securities to any beneficial holder of Securities, except as
required by the Indenture.

     (b) Upon (A) the issuance by the Commission of a stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or the initiation of proceedings with
respect to the Shelf Registration Statement under Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the Securities
Act, (B) the occurrence of any event or the existence of any Material Event as a result of
which the Shelf Registration Statement shall contain 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, or any Prospectus shall contain any untrue

11

 

statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading, or (C) the occurrence or existence of any corporate
development or business reason that, in the sole discretion of the Company, makes it
appropriate to suspend the availability of the Shelf Registration Statement and the related
Prospectus, including, without limitation, the acquisition or divestiture of assets, pending
corporate developments, public filings with the Commission and similar events, the Company
will:

        (i) in the case of clause (B) above, subject to the paragraph below, as
promptly as practicable prepare and file a post-effective amendment to such Shelf
Registration Statement, Prospectus or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any
document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document that
would be incorporated by reference into such Shelf Registration Statement and
Prospectus so that such Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus does not contain
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 (in
the case of the Prospectus in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made); and

        (ii) give notice to the Notice Holders that the availability of the Shelf
Registration Statement is suspended (a “Deferral Notice”).

The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the use of the
Prospectus may be resumed (x) in the case of clause (A) above, as promptly as reasonably
practicable, (y) in the case of clause (B) above, as soon as, in the sole judgment of the
Company, public disclosure of such Material Event would not be prejudicial to or contrary to
the interests of the Company or, if necessary to avoid unreasonable burden or expense, as
soon as practicable thereafter and (z) in the case of clause (C) above, as soon as, in the
sole discretion of the Company, such suspension is no longer appropriate; provided that the
period during which the availability of the Shelf Registration Statement and any Prospectus
is suspended (the “Deferral Period”), without the Company incurring any obligation to pay
Additional Interest pursuant to Section 2(d), shall not exceed one 120 days in the aggregate
in any 12-month period.

     (c) Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees that upon receipt of any Deferral
Notice from the Company, such Holder shall forthwith discontinue (and cause any placement or
sales agent or underwriters acting on their behalf to discontinue) the disposition of
Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement applicable to such Registrable
Securities until such Holder (i) shall have received copies of such amended or supplemented
Prospectus and, if so directed by the Company, such Holder shall deliver to the Company (at
the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder’s
possession of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of receipt of
such notice or (ii) shall have received notice from the Company that the disposition of
Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration may continue.

12

 

     (d) The Company may require each Holder of Registrable Securities as to which any
registration pursuant to Section 2(a) is being effected to furnish to the Company such
information regarding such Holder and such Holder’s intended method of distribution of such
Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing.
Each such Holder agrees to notify the Company as promptly as practicable of any inaccuracy
or change in information previously furnished by such Holder to the Company or of the
occurrence of any event in either case as a result of which any Prospectus relating to such
registration contains or would contain an untrue statement of a material fact regarding such
Holder or such Holder’s intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities or
omits to state any material fact regarding such Holder or such Holder’s intended method of
disposition of such Registrable Securities required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, and promptly to furnish to the Company any
additional information required to correct and update any previously furnished information
or required so that such Prospectus shall not contain, with respect to such Holder or the
disposition of such Registrable Securities, an untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading.

     (e) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all
applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and make generally available to its
securityholders earning statements (which need not be audited) satisfying the provisions of
Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any similar rule promulgated
under the Securities Act) no later than 45 days after the end of any 12-month period (or 90
days after the end of any 12-month period if such period is a fiscal year of the Company)
commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter of the Company commencing after the
effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement, which statements shall cover said
12-month periods.

     (f) The Company shall provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities covered by
the Shelf Registration Statement not later than the effective date of such Shelf
Registration Statement and provide the Trustee for the Debentures and the transfer agent for
the Shares with printed certificates for the Registrable Securities that are in a form
eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company.

     (g) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide such
information as is required for any filings required to be made with the NASD.

     (h) During the period from the Closing Date until two years after the Closing Date,
without the prior written consent of the Initial Purchaser, the Company will not, and will
not permit any of its “affiliates” (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) to,
resell any of the Securities that constitute “restricted securities” under Rule 144 that
have been reacquired by any of them.

     (i) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Indenture to
be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act in a timely manner.

13

 

     (j) The Company shall take all necessary, reasonable and lawful actions (including
those reasonably requested by the Majority Holders of the Registrable Securities being sold)
in order to expedite or facilitate disposition of such Registrable Securities.

     4. Holders’ Obligations.

     Each Holder agrees, by acquisition of the Registrable Securities, that no Holder of
Registrable Securities shall be entitled to sell any of such Registrable Securities pursuant to the
Shelf Registration Statement or to receive a Prospectus relating thereto, unless such Holder has
furnished the Company with a Notice and Questionnaire as required pursuant to Section 2(c) hereof
(including the information required to be included in such Notice and Questionnaire) and the
information set forth in the next sentence. Each Notice Holder agrees promptly to furnish to the
Company all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously
furnished to the Company by such Notice Holder not misleading and any other information regarding
such Notice Holder and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as may be required to be
disclosed in the Shelf Registration Statement under applicable law or pursuant to Commission
comments. Each Holder further agrees not to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf
Registration Statement without delivering, or causing to be delivered, a Prospectus to the
purchaser thereof and, following termination of the Effective Period, to notify the Company, within
10 Business Days of a request by the Company, of the amount of Registrable Securities sold pursuant
to the Shelf Registration Statement and, in the absence of a response, the Company may assume that
all of the Holder’s Registrable Securities were so sold.

     5. Registration Expenses.

     The Company agrees to bear and to pay or cause to be paid promptly upon request being made
therefor all expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement,
including, but not limited to, (a) all Commission and any NASD registration and filing fees and
expenses, (b) all fees and expenses in connection with the qualification of the Securities for
offering and sale under the State securities and Blue Sky laws referred to in Section 3(a)(v)
hereof, (c) all expenses relating to the preparation, printing, distribution and reproduction of
the Shelf Registration Statement, the related Prospectus, each amendment or supplement to each of
the foregoing, the certificates representing the Securities and all other documents relating
hereto, (d) fees, disbursements and expenses of counsel and independent certified public
accountants of the Company (including the expenses of any opinions or “cold comfort” letters
required by or incident to such performance and compliance) and (e) reasonable fees, disbursements
and expenses of one counsel for the Holders of Registrable Securities retained in connection with
the Shelf Registration Statement (not to exceed $30,000), as selected by the Company (unless
reasonably objected to by the Majority Holders of the Registrable Securities being registered, in
which case the Company shall select another counsel reasonably acceptable to the Holders) (“Special
Counsel”), and fees, expenses and disbursements of any other Persons, including special experts,
retained by the Company in connection with such registration (collectively, the “Registration
Expenses”). To the extent that any Registration Expenses are properly incurred, assumed or paid by
any Holder of Registrable Securities or any underwriter or placement agent therefor, the Company
shall reimburse such Person for the full

14

 

amount of the Registration Expenses so incurred, assumed or paid promptly after receipt of a
documented request therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holders of the Registrable
Securities being registered shall pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and placement
agent fees and commissions attributable to the sale of such Registrable Securities and the fees and
disbursements of any counsel or other advisors or experts retained by such Holders (severally or
jointly), other than the counsel and experts specifically referred to above.

     6. Indemnification.

     (a) The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Holder (including, without
limitation, the Initial Purchaser), its Affiliates, their respective officers, directors,
employees, and each person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act (collectively referred to for purposes of this Section 6
and Section 7 as a Holder) from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or
several, or any action in respect thereof (including, without limitation, any loss, claim,
damage, liability or action relating to purchases and sales of Securities), to which that
Holder may become subject, whether commenced or threatened, under the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act, any other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or
otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is
based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any such Registration Statement or any Prospectus forming part thereof or in
any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, and shall reimburse each Holder promptly upon demand for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by that Holder in connection with investigating or defending or
preparing to defend against or appearing as a third party witness in connection with any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action 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 any information provided by a Holder in
writing to the Company, including in its Notice and Questionnaire. This indemnity agreement
shall be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have.

     (b) Each Holder shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its officers, directors,
employees, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act (collectively referred to for purposes of this Section
6(b) and Section 7 as the Company), from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability,
joint or several, or any action in respect thereof, to which the Company may become subject,
whether commenced or threatened, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other
federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such
loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any such Registration
Statement or any Prospectus forming part thereof or in any amendment or supplement thereto
or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state

15

 

therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made), not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that the untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance
upon and in conformity with any information provided by a Holder in writing to the Company,
including in its Notice and Questionnaire, and shall reimburse the Company for any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or
defending or preparing to defend against or appearing as a third party witness in connection
with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred;
provided, however, that no such Holder shall be liable for any indemnity claims hereunder in
excess of the amount of net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Securities
pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement. This indemnity agreement will be in addition
to any liability which any such Holder may otherwise have.

     (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of
any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding, the indemnified party shall, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party pursuant to Section
6(a) or 6(b), notify the indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of
that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not
relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 6 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 which it may have to an
indemnified party to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in
any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on
account of this indemnity agreement. If any such claim or action shall be brought against
an indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying
party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly
with any other similarly notified indemnifying party, to assume the defense thereof with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying
party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such claim or
action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party under this
Section 6 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in
connection with the defense thereof other than the reasonable costs of investigation;
provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to employ its own counsel
in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel for the
indemnified party will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the employment
of counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying
party, (ii) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based upon advice of counsel to
the indemnified party) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified
parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party,
(iii) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based upon advice of counsel to the
indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in which case
the indemnifying party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on
behalf of the indemnified party)

16

 

or (iv) the indemnifying party has not in fact employed counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the indemnified party to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after
receiving notice of the commencement of the action, in each of which cases the reasonable
fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will be at the expense of the indemnifying
party or parties. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, in
connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable
for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm of
attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any one time for all such indemnified party
or parties. Each indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity agreements contained in
Sections 6(a) and 6(b), shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the
indemnifying party in the defense of any such action or claim. No indemnifying party shall
be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its written consent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with its written consent or if
there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the indemnifying party
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or
liability by reason of such settlement or judgment or if the indemnifying party has not paid
the expenses and fees for which it is liable 20 days after notice by the indemnified party
of request for reimbursement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written
consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect
any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding 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 (1) includes an unconditional release of such
indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such
proceeding and (2) does not include a statement or admission of fault, culpability or a
failure to act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party.

     (d) The provisions of this Section 6 and Section 7 shall remain in full force and
effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder, the Company, or
any of the indemnified Persons referred to in this Section 6 and Section 7, and shall
survive the sale by a Holder of securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement.

     7. Contribution.

     If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless an indemnified party under Section 6(a) or 6(b), then each indemnifying party shall, in
lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect
thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received
by the Company from the offering and sale of the Debentures, on the one hand, and a Holder with
respect to the sale by such Holder of Securities, on the other, 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 such Holder on the other with respect to the statements or
omissions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the

17

 

Company on the one hand and a Holder on the other with respect to such offering and such sale
shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the
Debentures (before deducting expenses) received by or on behalf of the Company, on the one hand,
and the total discounts and commissions received by such Holder with respect to the Securities, on
the other, bear to the total gross proceeds from the sale of Securities. 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 the
Company or information supplied by the Company on the one hand or to any information contained in
the relevant Notice and Questionnaire supplied by such Holder on the other, the intent of the
parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such untrue statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 7 were to be determined by pro rata allocation
or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations
referred to herein. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss,
claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 7 shall
be deemed to include, for purposes of this Section 7, any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to
defend any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, an indemnifying
party that is a Holder of Securities shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of
the amount by which the total price at which the Securities sold by such indemnifying party to any
purchaser exceeds the amount of any damages which such indemnifying party has otherwise paid or
become liable to pay by reason of any 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 Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.

     8. Rule 144A and Rule 144.

     So long as any Registrable Securities remain outstanding, the Company shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts to file the reports required to be filed by it under Rule
144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at any time the
Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the written request of any Holder of
Registrable Securities, make publicly available other information so long as necessary to permit
sales of such Holder’s securities pursuant to Rules 144 and 144A. The Company covenants that, as
long as any Registrable Securities remain outstanding, it will take such further action as any
Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to
time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities
Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rules 144 and 144A (including, without
limitation, the requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4)). Upon the written request of any Holder of
Registrable Securities, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether
it has complied with such requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 8
shall be deemed to require the Company to register any of its securities pursuant to the Exchange
Act.

18

 

     9. Miscellaneous.

     (a) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be
amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions
hereof may not be given, unless the Company has obtained either (i) the written consent of
the Majority Holders or (ii) the consent of the Majority Holders through The Depository
Trust Company’s Automated Tender Offer Program. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or
consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates
exclusively to the rights of Holders whose Securities are being sold pursuant to the Shelf
Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other
Holders may be given by Holders of a majority in aggregate amount of the Securities being
sold by such Holders pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement.

     (b) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted
hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail, telecopier or air
courier guaranteeing next-day delivery:

        (1) If to the Company, initially at the address set forth for it in the
Purchase Agreement with a copy to Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, One Montgomery
Street, 31st floor, San Francisco, CA 94104, Attention Stewart McDowell, Esq.;

        (2) If to the Initial Purchaser, initially at the address set forth for it in
the Purchase Agreement; and

        (3) If to a Holder, to the address of such Holder set forth in the security
register, the Notice and Questionnaire or other records of the Company.

              All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given: when delivered by
hand, if personally delivered; one Business Day after being delivered to a next-day air courier;
five Business Days after being deposited in the mail; and when receipt is acknowledged by the
recipient’s telecopier machine, if sent by telecopier.

     (c) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company
and its respective successors and assigns, including, without the need for an express
assignment or any consent by the Company thereto, subsequent Holders. In the event that any
other person shall succeed to the Company under the Indenture, then such successor shall
enter into an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Initial
Purchasers, whereby such successor shall assume all of the Company’s obligations under this
Agreement.

     (d) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts
(which may be delivered in original form or by telecopier) and by the parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and
all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

19

 

     (e) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference
only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

     (f) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

     (g) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by any Holder of any
of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the
case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including
recovery of damages (other than the recovery of damages for a breach by the Company of its
obligations under Section 2 hereof for which Additional Interest has been paid pursuant to
Section 3 hereof), will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this
Agreement. The Company and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not be adequate
compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of
this Agreement and hereby further agree that, in the event of any action for specific
performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would
be adequate.

     (h) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company represents, warrants and agrees
that (i) it has not entered into, and shall not, on or after the date of this Agreement,
enter into any agreement with respect to securities that would impair the rights granted to
the Holders in this Agreement, and (ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
without the written consent of the Majority Holders, it shall not grant to any person the
right to request the Company to register any debt securities of the Company under the
Securities Act unless the rights so granted do not impair the rights of the Holders under
this Agreement.

     (i) No Underwritten Offerings. No underwritten offering shall be effected
pursuant to this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company, which may be
withheld in the Company’s sole discretion. Any underwritten offering agreed to by the
Company shall be on terms and conditions agreed to by the Company in connection with such
offering.

     (j) Severability. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not
exclusive of any remedies provided by law. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction
of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void
or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set
forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired
or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to
find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as
that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated
and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining
terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be
hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

20

 

     (k) Survival. This Agreement and the obligations of the parties hereunder
shall terminate upon the end of the Effective Period, except for any liabilities or
obligations under Section 2(d), 5, 6 or 7 to the extent arising prior to the end of the
Effective Period.

     (l) Securities Held by the Company, etc. Whenever the consent or approval of
Holders of a specified percentage of principal amount of Securities is required hereunder,
Securities held by the Company or its Affiliates (other than subsequent Holders of
Securities if such subsequent Holders are deemed to be Affiliates solely by reason of their
holdings of such Securities) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or
approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage.

21

between the Company and the Initial Purchaser in accordance with its terms.

proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or
other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual
signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution

thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company
in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

          (i) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose
hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its

Notice to Holders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for notice to
Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly
provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such
event, at such Holder’s address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest
date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such
notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such
notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the
sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice
in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice,
either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers
of notice by Holders shall

18

 

be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity
of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

     In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it
shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with
the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

     Whenever under this Indenture the Trustee is required to provide any notice by mail, in all
cases the Trustee may alternatively provide notice by overnight courier or by telefacsimile, with
confirmation of transmission.

     Section 1.07.

modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded,
the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded,
as the case may be.

     Section 1.08. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings
herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction

INTEL CORPORATION

2.95% Junior Subordinated Convertible Debentures due 2035

     This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company, designated as
its 2.95% Junior Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2035 (the “Securities”), all issued or to
be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of December 16, 2005 (the “Indenture”),
between the Company and Citibank, N.A. (the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures
supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of
rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders
of the Securities.

     Interest. The Securities will bear Regular Interest at a rate of 2.95% per year,
payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year beginning on June 15,
2006. In addition to Regular Interest, the Securities will also bear Contingent Interest (i)
commencing on December 15, 2010, during any semi-annual interest period in which the average
trading price of the Securities for the 10 Trading Day period immediately preceding the first day
of such semi-annual period is greater than or equal to $1,300 per $1,000 Principal Amount of the
Securities, at a rate of 0.40% of such trading price per annum, (ii) commencing on December 15,
2010, during any semi-annual interest period in which the average trading price of the Securities
for the 10 Trading Day period immediately preceding the first day of such semi-annual period is
less than or equal to a threshold that will initially be set at $800 per $1,000 Principal Amount of
the Securities and that will increase over time in accordance with the Indenture, at a rate of
0.25% of such trading price per annum and (iii) at any time that Securities are outstanding in the
event that the Company pays an extraordinary cash dividend or distribution to holders of the
Company’s Common Stock that the Company’s Board of Directors designates as payable to Holders of
the Securities.

     So long as the Company is not in Default in the payment of Interest on the Securities, the
Company may defer the payment of Interest on the Securities (other than Contingent Interest
relating to an Extraordinary Dividend) for a period not to exceed 10 consecutive semi-annual
interest payment periods, during which time Compounded Interest will accrue as provided in the
Indenture.

     Subordination. The Securities are unsecured junior obligations of the Company
subordinated in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future Senior Debt and effectively
subordinated in right of payment to all indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company’s
subsidiaries.

25

 

     Redemption at the Option of the Company. No sinking fund is provided for the
Securities. The Securities are redeemable as a whole, or from time to time in part, (i) at any
time commencing on December 15, 2012 at the option of the Company if the Last Reported Sale Price
of the Company’s Common Stock has been greater than or equal to 130% of Conversion Price then in
effect for at least 20 Trading Days during any 30 consecutive Trading Day period prior to the date
on which the Company provides notice of redemption and (ii) on or prior to June 12, 2006, if
certain U.S. federal tax legislation, regulations or rules are enacted or are issued. The
redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) for any such redemption is equal to (a) in the case of a
redemption described in clause (i) above, 100%, expressed as a percentage of the Principal Amount
of Securities to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid Interest to, but excluding, the
Redemption Date and (b) in the case of a redemption described in clause (ii) above, 101.5%,
expressed as a percentage of the Principal Amount of Securities to be redeemed, together with
accrued and unpaid Interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date and, if the Conversion Value of
the Securities being redeemed exceeds their Initial Conversion Value, 77% of the amount determined
by subtracting the Initial Conversion Value of the Securities being redeemed from their Conversion
Value.

     Repurchase by the Company at the Option of the Holder Upon a Fundamental Change.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall become obligated, at the
option of the Holder, to repurchase the Securities if a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior
to the Stated Maturity at 100% of the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid Interest to, but
excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”),
which Fundamental Change Repurchase Price will be paid in cash; provided that the Company may
elect, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions described in the Indenture, to pay all or
a portion of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in Common Stock, Acquiror Securities or a
combination thereof. The number of shares of Common Stock or Acquiror Securities that a Holder
will receive will equal the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the portion of the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price to be paid in shares of Common Stock or Acquiror Securities, as applicable, by
(ii) 95% of the average Closing Price of the shares of Common Stock or Acquiror Securities, as
applicable, for the five Trading Day period immediately preceding and including the third Trading
Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, subject to adjustment as
described in the Indenture.

     Withdrawal of Repurchase Notice and Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice. Holders
have the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, any Repurchase Notice or Fundamental Change
Repurchase Notice, as the case may be, by delivering to the Paying Agent a written notice of
withdrawal in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

26

 

     Payment of Redemption Price, Repurchase Price and Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.
If cash or, if permitted under the Indenture, Common Stock,
Acquiror Securities or any combination of the foregoing, sufficient to pay the Redemption
Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, as the case may be, of all Securities or portions
thereof to be redeemed or repurchased on a Redemption Date or on a Fundamental Change Repurchase
Date, as the case may be, is deposited with the Paying Agent on the Redemption Date or the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as the case may be, such Securities will cease to be
outstanding and Interest will cease to accrue on such Securities (or portions thereof) immediately
after such Redemption Date or Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as the case may be, and the
Holder thereof shall have no other rights as such (other than the right to receive the Redemption
Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, as the case may be, upon surrender of such Security).

     Conversion. A Holder may convert each of its Securities into shares of the Company’s
common stock at an initial conversion rate of 31.7162 shares per $1,000 Principal Amount of
Securities (the “Conversion Rate”), at any time prior to the close of business on December 14,
2035; provided, that the Company may elect to deliver cash equal to (i) the average of the Last
Reported Sale Price for the Company’s Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days
immediately following the date on which the Company gives notice of such election or, if the
Company has delivered a notice of redemption, the Conversion Date, multiplied by (ii) the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Securities on the Conversion Date. The
Conversion Rate in effect at any given time is subject to adjustment as provided in the Indenture.
A Holder may convert fewer than all of such Holder’s Securities so long as the Securities converted
are an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount. Except as otherwise provided in the
Indenture, Holders will not receive any cash payment representing accrued and unpaid Interest upon
conversion of a Security. Accrued and unpaid Interest will be deemed paid in full rather than
canceled, extinguished or forfeited.

     In the event of a deposit or withdrawal of an interest in this Security, including an
exchange, transfer, repurchase or conversion of this Security in part only, the Trustee, as
custodian of the Depositary, shall make an adjustment on its records to reflect such deposit or
withdrawal in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary.

     Subject to certain limitations in the Indenture, at any time when the Company is not subject
to Section 13 or 15(d) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, upon the
request of a Holder of a Restricted Security, the Company will promptly furnish or cause to be
furnished Rule 144A Information (as defined below) to such Holder of Restricted Securities, or to a
prospective purchaser of any such security designated by any such Holder, to the

27

 

extent required to permit compliance by any such Holder with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”). “Rule 144A Information” shall be such information as is specified pursuant
to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto).

     If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Principal Amount plus Interest
through such date on all the Securities may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the
effect provided in the Indenture.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and
the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the
Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities.
The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate
Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities, to
waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults
under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of any
provision of or applicable to this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and
upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent
or waiver is made upon this Security.

     As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security
shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall
have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to
the Securities, the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding
Securities shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of
such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity satisfactory to it,
the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in Principal Amount of
Outstanding Securities a direction inconsistent with such request, and the Trustee shall have
failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and
offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this
Security for the enforcement of any payment of the Principal Amount, Redemption Price or
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price hereof on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture
shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay
the Principal Amount, Redemption Price or

28

 

Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of, and Interest on,
this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the
transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security
for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in The City of New York, duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar
duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one
or more new Securities, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate Principal Amount,
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     The Securities are issuable only in registered form in denominations of $1,000 and any
integral multiple of $1,000 above that amount, as provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth. Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate Principal Amount
of Securities of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the
same.

     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Company and the Security Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the
Trustee and the Security Registrar and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person
in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this
Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

     This Security shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
New York.

     All terms used in this Security that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Indenture.

The Securities

     Section 3.01. Title and Terms; Payments. The aggregate Principal Amount of Securities that
may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is initially limited to $1,600,000,000,
except for Securities authenticated and delivered upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange
for, or in lieu of, other Securities pursuant to Section 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 7.06, 8.05 or 15.06.

     The Securities shall be known and designated as the “2.95% Junior Subordinated Convertible
Debentures due 2035” of the Company. The Principal Amount shall be payable at the Stated Maturity.

     The Securities shall not have the benefit of a sinking fund.

     The Securities shall be subordinated to all Senior Debt of the Company.

     The Principal Amount of and Interest on Global Securities registered in the name of The
Depository Trust Company or its nominee shall be paid by wire

35

 

transfer in immediately available funds to The Depository Trust Company or its nominee, as
applicable.

     The Principal Amount of Physical Securities shall be payable at the office or agency of the
Company in The City of New York maintained for such purpose and at any other office or agency
maintained by the Company for such purpose. Interest on Physical Securities will be payable (i) to
Holders having an aggregate Principal Amount of $2,000,000 or less of Securities, by check mailed
to such Holders and (ii) to Holders having an aggregate Principal Amount of more than $2,000,000 of
Securities, either by check mailed to such Holders or, upon application by a Holder to the Security
Registrar not later than the relevant Record Date for such Interest payment, by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to such Holder’s account within the United States, which application
shall remain in effect until the Holder notifies the Security Registrar to the contrary in writing.

     Section 3.02. Denominations. The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form
without coupons and in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 above that
amount.

     Section 3.03. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Securities shall be
executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board of Directors, its President or one
of its Vice Presidents.

     Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the
proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any
of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such
Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.

     At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Company may deliver Securities executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together
with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities. The Company Order
shall specify the amount of Securities to be authenticated, and shall further specify the amount of
such Securities to be issued as a Global Security or as Physical Securities. The Trustee in
accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities as in this
Indenture provided and not otherwise.

     Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

     No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory
for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially
in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate
upon any Security shall be

36

 

conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder.

     Section 3.04. Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the
Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary
Securities that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any
authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which
they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations
as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such
Securities; provided, that any such temporary Securities shall bear legends on the face of such
Securities as set forth in Section 2.02.

     If temporary Securities are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities to be
prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary
Securities shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary
Securities at any office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 6.02, without
charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like
Principal Amount of Physical Securities of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the
temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as
Physical Securities.

     Section 3.05. Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange; Restrictions on Transfer.
(a) The Company shall cause to be kept at the applicable Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a
register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency designated
pursuant to Section 6.02 being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security
Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall
provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby
appointed “Security Registrar” (the “Security Registrar”) for the purpose of registering Securities
and transfers of Securities as herein provided.

     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at an office or agency of the
Company designated pursuant to Section 6.02 for such purpose, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees,
one or more new Securities of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate Principal Amount
and tenor, each such Security bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture
(including Sections 2.02, 2.05 and 3.09).

37

 

     At the option of the Holder and subject to the other provisions of this Section 3.05 and to
Section 3.09, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any authorized denominations and
of a like aggregate Principal Amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at
such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the
exchange is entitled to receive.

     All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the
valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under
this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

     Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if
so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly
executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. As a condition to the
registration of transfer of any Restricted Securities, the Company or the Trustee may require
evidence satisfactory to them as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the legend on
such securities.

     Except as provided in the following sentence and in Section 3.09, all Securities originally
issued hereunder and all Securities issued upon registration of transfer or exchange or replacement
thereof shall be Restricted Securities and shall bear the legends required by Sections 2.02 and
2.05, unless the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee (and the Security Registrar, if other
than the Trustee) a Company Order stating that the Security is not a Restricted Security and may be
issued without such legend thereon. Securities that are issued upon registration of transfer of,
or in exchange for, Securities that are not Restricted Securities shall not be Restricted
Securities and shall not bear such legend.

     No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities,
but the Company and the Security Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04 not involving any transfer.

     Neither the Company nor the Security Registrar shall be required to exchange or register a
transfer of any Security (i) during the period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before
the earliest date on which a notice of redemption is deemed to have been given to all Holders of
Securities to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the date on which a notice of
redemption is deemed to have been given to all Holders of Securities to be

38

 

redeemed, (ii) after any notice of redemption has been given to Holders, except that where
such notice provides that such Security is to be redeemed only in part, the Company and the
Security Registrar shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of the portion thereof not
to be redeemed, (iii) that has been surrendered for conversion or (iv) as to which a Fundamental
Change Repurchase Notice has been delivered and not withdrawn, except that where such Fundamental
Change Repurchase Notice provides that such Security is to be purchased only in part, the Company
and the Security Registrar shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of the portion
thereof not to be purchased.

     (b) Beneficial ownership of every Restricted Security shall be subject to the restrictions on
transfer provided in the legends required to be set forth on the face of each Restricted Security
pursuant to Sections 2.02 and 2.05, unless such restrictions on transfer shall be terminated in
accordance with this Section 3.05(b) or Section 3.09. The Holder of each Restricted Security, by
such Holder’s acceptance thereof, agrees to be bound by such restrictions on transfer.

     The restrictions imposed by this Section 3.05 and by Sections 2.02, 2.05 and 3.09 upon the
transferability of any particular Restricted Security shall cease and terminate upon delivery by
the Company to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Restricted Security has
been sold pursuant to an effective Resale Registration Statement under the Securities Act or
transferred in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision
thereto). Any Restricted Security as to which the Company has delivered to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate stating that such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance
with their terms or shall have terminated may, upon surrender of such Restricted Security for
exchange to the Security Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.05, be
exchanged for a new Security, of like tenor and aggregate Principal Amount, which shall not bear
the restrictive legends required by Sections 2.02 and 2.05. The Company shall inform the Trustee
in writing of the effective date of any resale registration statement registering the Securities
under the Securities Act. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it in good faith in accordance with the aforementioned resale registration statement.

     As used in the preceding two paragraphs of this Section 3.05, the term “transfer” encompasses
any sale, pledge, transfer or other disposition of any Restricted Security.

     (c) Neither the Trustee, the Security Registrar nor any of their respective agents shall (i)
have any duty to monitor compliance with or with respect to any federal or state or other
securities or tax laws or (ii) have any duty to obtain documentation relating to any transfers or
exchanges other than as specifically required hereunder.

39

 

     Section 3.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. If any mutilated Security
is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of like tenor and Principal Amount and bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding.

     If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction
of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any
such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and Principal Amount and
bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

     In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to
become due and payable or has been called for redemption in full, the Company in its discretion
may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.

     Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 3.06, the Company may require payment
by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee)
connected therewith.

     Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section 3.06 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or
stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company,
whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone,
and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any
and all other Securities duly issued hereunder.

     The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all
other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen Securities.

     Section 3.07. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Security for
registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee, the Security Registrar and any agent of the
Company, the Trustee or the Security Registrar may treat the Person in whose name such Security is
registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of the principal of
such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and
neither the Company, the Trustee, the Security Registrar nor any

40

 

agent of the Company, the Trustee or the Security Registrar shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

     Section 3.08. Book-Entry Provisions for Global Securities. (a) The Global Securities
initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of such Depositary,
(ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary and (iii) bear legends as set
forth on the face of the form of Security in Section 2.02.

     Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under
this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the
Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Security, and the Depositary may be treated by the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the
Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall
prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to
any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as
between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the
exercise of the rights of any Holder.

     (b) Transfers of the Global Securities shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in
part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial
owners in a Global Security may be transferred or exchanged, in whole or in part, for Physical
Securities in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary and the provisions of
Section 3.09. In addition, Physical Securities shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in
exchange for their beneficial interests in the Global Securities if (A) such Depositary has
notified the Company that the Depositary (i) is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for
such Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act
when the Depositary is required to be so registered to act as such Depositary and, in either such
case, no successor Depositary shall have been appointed within 90 days of such notification, (B)
there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global
Security and the Outstanding Securities shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 10.02
and the Trustee requests that Physical Securities be issued or (C) the Company, at its option,
notifies the Trustee that it elects to cause the issuance of Physical Securities, subject to
applicable procedures of the Depositary; provided that Holders of Physical Securities offered and
sold in reliance on Rule 144A shall have the right, subject to applicable law, to request that such
Securities be exchanged for interests in the applicable Global Security.

     (c) In connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion of the beneficial interest in the
Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to

41

 

paragraph (b) above, the Security Registrar shall (if one or more Physical Securities are to
be issued) reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the Principal Amount of the
Global Security in an amount equal to the Principal Amount of the beneficial interest in the Global
Security to be transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, one or more Physical Securities of like tenor and amount.

     (d) In connection with the transfer of the entire Global Security to beneficial owners
pursuant to paragraph (b) above, the Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the
Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial
interest in the Global Security, an equal aggregate Principal Amount of Physical Securities of
authorized denominations and the same tenor.

     (e) Any Physical Security constituting a Restricted Security delivered in exchange for an
interest in the Global Security pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) above shall, except as otherwise
provided by paragraph (c) of Section 3.09, bear the legend regarding transfer restrictions
applicable to the Physical Securities set forth on the face of the form of Security in Section
2.02.

     (f) The Holder of the Global Securities may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person,
including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any
action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities.

     Section 3.09. Cancellation and Transfer Provisions. The Company at any time may deliver to
the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder that
the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and
sold. The Trustee shall cancel and dispose of all Securities surrendered for registration of
transfer, exchange, payment, purchase, repurchase, redemption, conversion (pursuant to Article 9
hereof) or cancellation in accordance with its customary practices. If the Company shall acquire
any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the
indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has paid in
full or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

     (a) Transfers to QIBs. The following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration
of any proposed transfer of a Security constituting a Restricted Security to a QIB:

42

 

     (i) the Security Registrar shall register the transfer if such transfer is being made
by a proposed transferor who has checked the box provided for on the form of Security
stating, or has otherwise advised the Company and the Security Registrar in writing, that
the sale has been made in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144A to a transferee who
has signed the certification provided for on the form of Security stating, or has
otherwise advised the Company and the Security Registrar in writing, that it is purchasing
the Security for its own account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole
investment discretion and that it and any such account is a QIB within the meaning of Rule
144A, and is aware that the sale to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and
acknowledges that it has received such information regarding the Company as it has
requested pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not to request such information and that
it is aware that the transferor is relying upon its foregoing representations in order to
claim the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A; and

     (ii) if the proposed transferee is an Agent Member, and the Securities to be
transferred consist of Physical Securities which after transfer are to be evidenced by an
interest in the Global Security, upon receipt by the Security Registrar of instructions
given in accordance with the Depositary’s and the Security Registrar’s procedures, the
Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the
Principal Amount of the Global Security in an amount equal to the Principal Amount of the
Physical Securities to be transferred, and the Trustee shall cancel the Physical
Securities so transferred.

     (b) Private Placement Legend. Upon the registration of transfer, exchange or replacement of
Securities not bearing the legends required by Sections 2.02 and 2.05, the Security Registrar shall
deliver Securities that do not bear such legends. Except in the case of a registration of
transfer, exchange or replacement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement, upon the
registration of transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities bearing the legends required by
Sections 2.02 and 2.05, the Security Registrar shall deliver only Securities that bear such legends
unless there is delivered to the Security Registrar an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the Company and the Trustee to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions
on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act.

     (c) General. By its acceptance of any Security bearing the legends required by Sections 2.02
and 2.05, each Holder of such a Security acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Security
set forth in this Indenture and in such legends and agrees that it will transfer such Security only
as provided in this Indenture.

43

 

     The Security Registrar shall retain, in accordance with its customary procedures, copies of
all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to this Section 3.09. The
Company shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other
written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the
Security Registrar.

     Section 3.10. CUSIP Numbers. In issuing the Securities, the Company may use “CUSIP” numbers
(if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of
redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no
representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or
as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by
any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any
change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

Interest

     Section 4.01. Generally.

     (a) Regular interest (“Regular Interest”) shall accrue on the Securities from December 16,
2005 at a rate of 2.95% per annum until the principal thereof is paid or made available for
payment. Regular Interest shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of
each year, commencing June 15, 2006.

     (b) Interest on the Securities shall be computed (i) for any full semi-annual period for which
a particular interest rate (inclusive of any Contingent Interest, Additional Interest or Compounded
Interest payable with respect to the Securities) is applicable, on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months and (ii) for any period for which a particular interest rate (inclusive of any
Contingent Interest, Additional Interest or Compounded Interest payable with respect to the
Securities) is applicable shorter than a full semi-annual period for which interest is calculated,
on the basis of a 30-day month and, for such periods of less than a month, the actual number of
days elapsed over a 30-day month.

     (c) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.01(c), a Holder of any Securities at the
close of business on a Record Date shall be entitled to receive Interest on such Securities on the
corresponding Interest Payment Date.

     (i) A Holder of any Securities as of a Record Date that are converted after the close
of business on such Record Date and prior to the

44

 

opening of business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to
receive Interest on the principal amount of such Securities, notwithstanding the
conversion of such Securities prior to such Interest Payment Date. However, a Holder that
surrenders any Securities for conversion between the close of business on a Record Date
and the opening of business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date shall be required
to pay the Company an amount equal to the Interest payable by the Company with respect to
such Securities on such Interest Payment Date at the time such Holder surrenders such
Securities for conversion, provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply to a
Holder that converts Securities:

     (A) in respect of which the Company has given notice of redemption pursuant
to Section 7.03 on a Redemption Date that is after the relevant Record Date and
on or prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date;

     (B) in respect of which the Company has specified a Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date that is after the relevant Record Date and on or prior to the
relevant Interest Payment Date; or

     (C) following the Record Date for the payment of Regular Interest on
December 15, 2035.

Accordingly, a Holder that converts Securities under any of the circumstances described in
clauses (A), (B) or (C) above will not be required to pay to the Company an amount equal
to the Interest payable by the Company with respect to such Securities on the relevant
Interest Payment Date.

     (ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.01(c), a Holder of any
Security that surrenders Securities for conversion shall not be required to pay to the
Company any Deferred Interest or overdue interest that exists on the Conversion Date for
such conversion, regardless of whether the Conversion Date for such conversion falls
between the close of business on a Record Date and the opening of business on the
corresponding Interest Payment Date.

     (iii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.01(c), any Interest
payable on a Redemption Date that falls between the close of business on a Record Date and
the opening of business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date shall be payable to the
Holder of the Securities being redeemed as provided in Section 7.01(b) and shall not be
payable to the Holder on the Record Date immediately preceding such

45

 

redemption. The payment of such Interest to the Holder of the Securities being
redeemed as provided in Section 7.01(b) shall be deemed to satisfy the Company’s
obligations in respect of such Interest.

     (iv) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.01(c), any Interest
payable on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that falls between the close of business
on a Record Date and the opening of business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date
shall be payable to the Holder of the Securities being repurchased as provided in Section
8.01(a) and shall not be payable to the Holder on the Record Date immediately preceding
such redemption. The payment of such Interest to the Holder of the Securities being
repurchased as provided in Section 8.01(a) shall be deemed to satisfy the Company’s
obligations in respect of such Interest..

     Section 4.02. Contingent Interest. (a) Contingent interest on the Securities (“Contingent
Interest”) shall accrue and the Company shall pay such Contingent Interest to the Holders as
follows:

     (i) beginning with the six-month interest payment period commencing December 15,
2010:

     (A) during any six-month interest payment period with respect to which the
average Trading Price for the 10 Trading Days immediately preceding the first
day of such six-month interest payment period is greater than or equal to the
Upside Trigger, in which case the Contingent Interest payable on each $1,000
Principal Amount for such six-month interest payment period shall be equal to
0.40% per annum of the average Trading Price for the 10 Trading Days immediately
preceding the first day of such six-month interest payment period;

     (B) during any six-month interest payment period with respect to which the
average Trading Price for the 10 Trading Days immediately preceding the first
day of such six-month interest payment period is less than or equal to the
Downside Trigger, in which case the Contingent Interest payable on each $1,000
Principal Amount for such six-month interest payment period shall be equal to
0.25% per annum of the average Trading Price for the 10 Trading Days immediately
preceding the first day of such six-month interest payment period; and

     (ii) at any time Securities are outstanding, upon the declaration by the Company’s
Board of Directors of an extraordinary cash dividend or distribution to all or
substantially all holders of the Company’s Common

46

 

Stock that the Company’s Board of Directors designates as payable with respect to the
Securities (an “Extraordinary Dividend”), in which case (A) Contingent Interest will be
payable on the same date as, and in an amount equal to, the dividend or distribution that
a Holder would have received had such Holder converted its Securities immediately prior to
the record date for the payment of the corresponding dividend or distribution to holders
of the Company’s Common Stock and (B) the record date for such Interest shall be the same
as the record date for the payment of the corresponding extraordinary dividend or
distribution to holders of the Company’s Common Stock.

     (b) The Company shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of the Securities or
to request the Trustee to determine the Trading Price of the Securities unless a Holder of
Securities provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price of the Securities
is greater than or equal to the Upside Trigger or is less than or equal to the Downside Trigger, at
which time the Company shall instruct the Trustee to determine the Trading Price of the Securities
beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price of the
Securities is less than the Upside Trigger or is greater than the Downside Trigger, as applicable.

     Section 4.03. Trustee’s Responsibilities in Respect of Contingent Interest. The Trustee’s
sole responsibility pursuant to Section 4.02 shall be to obtain the Trading Price of the Securities
for each of the 10 Trading Days immediately preceding the first day of the applicable six-month
interest payment period and to provide such information to the Company. The Company shall
determine whether Holders are entitled to receive Contingent Interest, and if so, provide notice to
the Trustee and issue a press release as required by Section 4.05. Notwithstanding any term
contained in this Indenture or any other document to the contrary, the Trustee shall have no
responsibilities, duties or obligations for or with respect to (i) determining whether the Company
must pay Contingent Interest or (ii) determining the amount of Contingent Interest, if any, payable
by the Company.

     Section 4.04. Payment of Contingent Interest. Subject to Section 4.01 hereof, Contingent
Interest for any six-month interest payment period shall be paid on the applicable Interest Payment
Date to the Holder in whose name any Security is registered on the Security Register at the
corresponding Record Date. Contingent Interest due under this Article 4 shall be treated for all
purposes of this Indenture like any other interest accruing on the Securities.

     Section 4.05. Contingent Interest Notification. By the third Business Day of a six-month
interest payment period for which Contingent Interest specified in Section 4.02(a)(i) will be paid,
the Company will disseminate a press release through Reuters Economic Services and Bloomberg
Business News stating that

47

 

Contingent Interest will be paid on the Securities and identifying such six-month interest
payment period as the six-month interest payment period for which such Contingent Interest will be
paid. By the third Business Day following the designation by the Company’s Board of Directors of
an extraordinary cash dividend or distribution as an Extraordinary Dividend pursuant to Section
4.02(a)(ii), the Company will disseminate a press release through Reuters Economic Services and
Bloomberg Business News stating that Contingent Interest will be paid on the Securities and
identifying the Record Date for the payment of such Contingent Interest and the amount of such
extraordinary cash dividend or distribution payable with respect to each share of the Company’s
Common Stock.

     Section 4.06. Option to Extend Interest Payment. (a) Subject to the provisions of this
Article 4, the Company may from time to time extend the time for payments of Interest on the
Securities other than Contingent Interest paid in connection with any Extraordinary Dividend (any
period during which payments are so extended, an “Extension Period”); provided, however, that no
Extension Period may commence if there exists an Event of Default under Section 10.01(a). The
Company may specify the length of any Extension Period so declared, may further extend any
Extension Period prior to the termination of such Extension Period and, subject to the provisions
of this Article 4, may declare successive Extension Periods, provided, however, that no Extension
Period or series of successive Extension Periods (i) may exceed 10 consecutive six-month interest
payment periods in length or (ii) may extend beyond the Stated Maturity of the Securities.

     (b) No Interest or Deferred Interest will be due and payable during any Extension Period, but
Deferred Interest will accrue and all such accrued and unpaid Deferred Interest will itself bear
interest at the Comparable Yield Rate, compounded semi-annually (such interest, “Compounded
Interest”). The Company may prepay Deferred Interest at any time by designating a Record Date and
Interest Payment Date for the payment thereof and providing not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’
notice of such dates, together with the amount of Deferred Interest to be prepaid.

     (c) Any Extension Period in effect shall automatically terminate upon the occurrence of a
Default or Event of Default.

     Section 4.07. Actions Prohibited During Extension Periods. During any Extension Period
(and, with respect to Section 4.07(c), at any time that there exists any accrued and unpaid
Deferred Interest with respect to any Securities), the Company shall not:

     (a) declare or pay any dividends on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a distribution or
liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Company’s

48

 

Common Stock or preferred stock, or make any guarantee payments with respect thereto;
provided, however, that the foregoing will not apply:

     (i) to repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of the Company’s
Capital Stock in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar
arrangement with or for the benefit of employees, officers, directors or consultants,
which contract, plan or arrangement is approved by the Company’s Board of Directors;

     (ii) as a result of an exchange or conversion of any class or series of the Company’s
Capital Stock for any other class or series of the Company’s Capital Stock;

     (iii) to the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Company’s Capital
Stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such Capital Stock or a
security being converted or exchanged into such Capital Stock; or

     (iv) to stock dividends or other stock distributions (including rights, warrants or
options to purchase Capital Stock) paid by the Company;

     (b) make any payment of principal, interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or
redeem any of the Company’s debt securities that rank in right of payment pari passu with, or
junior to, the Securities; or

     (c) redeem the Securities pursuant to Article 7 hereof or give notice of redemption of the
Securities pursuant to Section 7.03 hereof.

     Section 4.08. Notification of Extension Period. The Company shall give notice to the
Trustee of the commencement of an Extension Period (and shall direct the Trustee to deliver such
notice to each Holder of Securities) at least 16 days prior to the earlier of (i) any Interest
Payment Date in respect of which payment of Interest will be deferred and (ii) the date on which
the Company is required to give notice to The Nasdaq National Market (if the Securities are then
listed thereon) or other applicable self-regulatory organization or to Holders of the Securities of
the record or payment date of the related interest payment. Such notice shall specify the
commencement and end of such Extension Period and the Comparable Yield Rate applicable to any
Compounded Interest that may accrue during such Extension Period.

ARTICLE 5

Subordination

     Section 5.01. Agreement of Subordination. The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder
of Securities issued hereunder by its acceptance thereof likewise covenants and agrees, that all
Securities shall be issued subject to the provisions of this Article 5; and each Person holding any
Security, whether upon original issue or upon transfer, assignment or exchange thereof, accepts and
agrees to be bound by such provisions.

     The payment of the principal of and Interest on all Securities (including, but not limited to,
the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to the Securities
subject to redemption or repurchase in accordance with Articles 7 and 8, respectively, and the
payment of any cash upon conversion in accordance with Article 9) issued hereunder shall, to the
extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, be subordinated and subject in right of payment to
the prior payment in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt of
all Senior Debt, whether outstanding at the date of this Indenture or thereafter incurred.

     No provision of this Article 5 shall prevent the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default
hereunder.

     Section 5.02. Payments to Holders. No payment shall be made with respect to the principal
of or Interest on the Securities (including, but not limited to, the Redemption Price and the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to the Securities subject to redemption or
purchase in accordance with Articles 7 and 8, respectively, and any payment of cash upon conversion
in accordance with Article 9), except payments and distributions made by the Trustee as permitted
by the first or second paragraph of Section 5.05, if:

     (a) a default in the payment of principal, premium, interest or other amounts due on
any Senior Debt, or in respect of any redemption or repurchase obligation under any Senior
Debt, occurs and is continuing (or, in the case of Senior Debt for which there is a period
of grace, in the event of such a default that continues beyond the period of grace, if
any, specified in the instrument or lease evidencing such Senior Debt) (a “Payment
Default”); or

     (b) a default, other than a Payment Default, on any Designated Senior Debt occurs and
is continuing that then permits holders of such Designated Senior Debt (or any
Representative) to accelerate its maturity (a “Non-Payment Default”) and a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee receives at the Corporate Trust Office a written notice of the
default (a

50

 

“Payment Blockage Notice”) from the Company or a Representative of Designated Senior
Debt.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the delivery of a Payment Blockage Notice, no new
Payment Blockage Notice may be delivered and no new period of payment blockage with respect to the
Securities may begin until both (i) 365 consecutive days have elapsed since the effectiveness of
the first Payment Blockage Notice and (ii) all scheduled payments of principal and Interest with
respect to the Securities that are due have been paid in full in cash. No default that existed or
was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice with respect to the
Designated Senior Debt whose holders delivered the Payment Blockage Notice may be made the basis of
a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice by the holders of such Designated Senior Debt, whether or not
within a period of 365 consecutive days.

     The Company may and shall resume payments on and distributions in respect of the Securities
upon:

     (1) in the case of a Payment Default, the date upon which the default is cured or
waived or ceases to exist, or

     (2) in the case of a Non-Payment Default, the earlier of the date on which such
default is cured or waived or ceases to exist, in each case as and to the extent permitted
under the documentation for the Designated Senior Debt, or the 179th day after
the date on which the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received, in each case, unless
the maturity of the Designated Senior Debt has been accelerated or this Article 5
otherwise prohibits the payment or distribution at the time of such payment or
distribution.

     Upon any payment by the Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or
character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any dissolution or winding-up
or liquidation or reorganization of the Company (whether voluntary or involuntary) or in
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceedings, all amounts due or to become due upon
all Senior Debt shall first be paid in full in cash, or other payments satisfactory to the holders
of Senior Debt before any payment of cash, property or securities is made on account of the
principal of or Interest on, or with respect to the conversion of, the Securities (except, to the
extent required by applicable law, payments made pursuant to Article 14 from monies deposited with
the Trustee pursuant thereto prior to commencement of proceedings for such dissolution, winding-up,
liquidation or reorganization); and upon any such dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or
reorganization of the Company or bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceeding, any
payment by the Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether
in cash, property or

51

 

securities, to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled, except
for the provision of this Article 5, shall (except as aforesaid) be paid by the Company or by any
receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or
distribution, or by the Holders of the Securities or by the Trustee under this Indenture if
received by them or it, directly to the holders of Senior Debt (pro rata to such holders on the
basis of the respective amounts of Senior Debt held by such holders, or as otherwise required by
law or a court order) or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees
under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any Senior Debt may have been
issued, as their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Debt in
full in cash, or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, after giving effect to
any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Debt, before any payment or
distribution is made to the Holders of the Securities or to the Trustee.

     For purposes of this Article 5, the words, “cash, property or securities” shall not be deemed
to include shares of Capital Stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of
the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the
payment of which is subordinated at least to the extent provided in this Article 5 with respect to
the Securities to the payment of all Senior Debt which may at the time be outstanding; provided
that (i) the Senior Debt is assumed by the new corporation, if any, resulting from any
reorganization or readjustment, and (ii) the rights of the holders of Senior Debt (other than
leases which are not assumed by the Company or the new corporation, as the case may be) are not,
without the consent of such holders, altered by such reorganization or readjustment. The
consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another corporation or the
liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance, transfer or lease of all or
substantially all its property to another corporation upon the terms and conditions provided for in
Article 11 shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the
purposes of this Section 5.02 if such other corporation shall, as a part of such consolidation,
merger, conveyance, transfer or lease, comply with the conditions stated in Article 11.

     If payment of the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall
promptly notify holders of Senior Debt or their Representatives of such acceleration. The Company
shall not pay the Securities until five days after the holders or Representatives for the holders
of Senior Debt receive notice of the acceleration and after which the Company shall pay the
Securities only if this Article 5 otherwise permits payment at that time.

     In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any payment or distribution of
assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (including,
without limitation, by way of setoff or otherwise), prohibited by the foregoing, shall be received
by the Trustee or the

52

 

Holders of the Securities before all Senior Debt is paid in full, in cash or other payment
satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, or provision is made for such payment thereof in
accordance with its terms in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, such
payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over or
delivered to the holders of Senior Debt or their Representative or Representatives, as their
respective interests may appear, as calculated by the Company, for application to the payment of
all Senior Debt remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Debt in full, in cash or
other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt or their Representative, after giving
effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of such Senior Debt.

     Nothing in this Section 5.02 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or
pursuant to Section 10.05 and Section 12.07. This Section 5.02 shall be subject to the further
provisions of Section 5.05.

     Section 5.03. Subrogation of Securities. Subject to the payment in full, in cash or other
payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, of all Senior Debt, the rights of the Holders
of the Securities shall be subrogated to the extent of the payments or distributions made to the
holders of such Senior Debt pursuant to the provisions of this Article 5 (equally and ratably with
the holders of all indebtedness of the Company which by its express terms is subordinated to other
indebtedness of the Company to substantially the same extent as the Securities are subordinated and
is entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of the holders of Senior Debt to receive
payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to the Senior
Debt until the principal of and Interest on the Securities shall be paid in full in cash or other
payment satisfactory to the Holders of Securities; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no
payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Debt of any cash, property or securities to
which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of
this Article 5, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Article 5, to or for the
benefit of the holders of Senior Debt by Holders of the Securities or the Trustee, shall, as
between the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Debt, and the Holders of the
Securities, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Senior Debt; and no
payment or distribution of cash, property or securities to or for the benefit of the Holders of the
Securities pursuant to the subrogation provisions of this Article 5, which would otherwise have
been paid to the holders of Senior Debt shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or for
the account of the Securities. It is understood that the provisions of this Article 5 are and are
intended solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities,
on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Debt, on the other hand.

53

 

     Nothing contained in this Article 5 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is
intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior
Debt, and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and
unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of and Interest on the
Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is
intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of
the Company other than the holders of the Senior Debt.

     Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article 5, the
Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 12.01, and the Holders of the Securities shall be
entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such
bankruptcy, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a
certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person
making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Securities,
for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the
holders of the Senior Debt and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable
thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 5.

     Section 5.04. Authorization to Effect Subordination. Each Holder of a Security by the
Holder’s acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on the Holder’s behalf to take such
action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this
Article 5 and appoints the Trustee to act as the Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such
purposes. If the Trustee does not file a proper proof of claim or proof of debt in the form
required in any proceeding referred to in Section 5.03 hereof at least 30 days before the
expiration of the time to file such claim, the holders of any Senior Debt or their representatives
are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders of the
Securities.

     Section 5.05. Notice to Trustee. The Company shall give prompt written notice in the form
of an Officers’ Certificate to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee and to any Paying Agent of any
fact known to the Company that would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the
Trustee or any Paying Agent in respect of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Article
5. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 5 or any other provision of this Indenture, the
Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the
making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities pursuant to the
provisions of this Article 5, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have
received written notice thereof at the applicable Corporate Trust Office from the Company (in the
form of an Officers’ Certificate) or a Representative or a Holder or Holders of Senior Debt or from
any trustee thereof; and before the receipt of any such written

54

 

notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 12.01, shall be entitled in all
respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided that, if on a date not less than two Business
Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such monies may become payable for any
purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of or Interest on any
Security) the Trustee shall not have received, with respect to such monies, the notice provided for
in this Section 5.05, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee
shall have full power and authority to receive such monies and to apply the same to the purpose for
which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be
received by it on or after such prior date. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 5 to the
contrary, nothing shall prevent any payment by the Trustee to the Holders of monies deposited with
it pursuant to Article 14, and any such payment shall not be subject to the provisions of this
Article 5.

     The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 12.01, shall be entitled to rely on the
delivery to it of a written notice by a Representative or a person representing himself to be a
holder of Senior Debt (or a trustee on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has
been given by a Representative or a holder of Senior Debt. In the event that the Trustee determines
in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any person as a holder
of Senior Debt to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 5, the
Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee
as to the amount of Senior Debt held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to
participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such
Person under this Article 5, and if such evidence is not furnished the Trustee may defer any
payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive
such payment.

     Section 5.06. Trustee’s Relation to Senior Debt. The Trustee in its individual capacity
shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 5 in respect of any Senior Debt at
any time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Debt, and nothing in Section
12.13 or elsewhere in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.

     With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe
only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article 5, and no
implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Debt shall be read into this
Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the
holders of Senior Debt and, subject to the provisions of Section 12.01, the Trustee shall not be
liable to any holder of Senior Debt if it shall pay over or deliver to Holders of Securities, the
Company or any other Person money or assets to which any holder of Senior Debt shall be entitled by
virtue of this Article 5 or otherwise.

55

 

     Section 5.07. No Impairment of Subordination. No right of any present or future holder of
any Senior Debt to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be
prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or
failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the
terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any
such holder may have or otherwise be charged with.

     Section 5.08. Certain Conversions Not Deemed Payment. For the purposes of this Article 5
only, the issuance and delivery of Common Stock and the payment of cash in lieu of fractional
shares of such Common Stock upon conversion of a Security in accordance with Article 9 shall not be
deemed to constitute a payment or distribution on account of the principal of or Interest on such
Security. Nothing contained in this Article 5 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities
is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior
Debt and the Holders, the right, which is absolute and unconditional, of the Holder of any Security
to convert such Security in accordance with Article 9.

     Section 5.09. Article Applicable to Paying Agents. If at any time any Paying Agent other
than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term
“Trustee” as used in this Article shall (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as
extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and
purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article in addition to or in place of the
Trustee; provided, however, that the first paragraph of Section 5.05 shall not apply to the Company
or any Affiliate of the Company if it or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent.

     Section 5.10. Senior Debt Entitled to Rely. The holders of Senior Debt (including, without
limitation, Designated Senior Debt) shall have the right to rely upon this Article 5, and no
amendment or modification of the provisions contained herein shall diminish the rights of such
holders unless such holders shall have agreed in writing thereto.

ARTICLE 6

Covenants

     Section 6.01. Payments. The Company shall duly and punctually make all payments in respect
of the Securities in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this Indenture.

     Any payments made or due pursuant to this Indenture shall be considered paid on the applicable
date due if by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such

56

 

date the Paying Agent holds, in accordance with this Indenture, cash sufficient to pay all
such amounts then due. Payment of the principal of and Interest on the Securities shall be in such
coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for
payment of public and private debts.

     Section 6.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company shall maintain in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where Securities may be presented or
surrendered for payment, where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this
Indenture may be served, which shall initially be the applicable Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any
change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to
maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address
thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive
all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

     The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or
outside the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York) where the Securities may be presented or
surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations;
provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company
of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York, for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such
designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

     Section 6.03. Appointments to Fill Vacancies in Trustee’s Office. The Company, whenever
necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided
in Section 12.10, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder.

     Section 6.04. Money for Security Payments to be Held in Trust. If the Company shall at any
time act as its own Paying Agent, it shall, on or before each due date of any payment in respect of
any of the Securities, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto
a sum sufficient to make the payment so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons
or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or
failure so to act.

     Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents, it will, prior to each due date of
any payment in respect of any Securities, deposit with a

57

 

Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust
Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the
Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

     The Company shall cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the
Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the
provisions of this Section 6.04, that such Paying Agent will (i) comply with the provisions of the
Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (ii) during the continuance of any
default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities) in the making of any payment in
respect of the Securities, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee
all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent as such.

     The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay,
to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by
the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such
Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be
released from all further liability with respect to such money.

     Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in
trust for the making of payments in respect of any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years
after such payment has become due shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held
by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall
thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all
liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability
of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or
such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the
Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily
published on each Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New York, notice that such
money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30
days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining shall be
repaid to the Company. In the absence of a written request from the Company to return funds
remaining unclaimed for two years after such payment has become due to the Company, the Trustee
shall from time to time deliver all unclaimed payments to or as directed by applicable escheat
authorities, as determined by the Trustee in its sole discretion, in accordance with the customary
practices and procedures of the Trustee. Any such unclaimed funds held by the Trustee

58

 

pursuant to this Section 6.04 shall be held uninvested and without any liability for interest.

     Section 6.05. Statement by Officers as to Default. The Company will deliver to the Trustee,
within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an
Officers’ Certificate, stating whether or not to the knowledge of the signers thereof the Company
is in Default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of
this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder)
and, if the Company shall be in Default, specifying all such Defaults and the nature and status
thereof of which they may have knowledge.

     Section 6.06. Existence. Subject to Article 11, the Company shall do or cause to be done
all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights (charter
and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to
preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine that
the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and
that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.

     Section 6.07. Rule 144A Information Requirement. Within the period prior to the expiration
of the holding period applicable to sales of Securities or any Common Stock issuable on conversion
thereof under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision), the Company
covenants and agrees that it shall, during any period in which it is not subject to Section 13 or
15(d) under the Exchange Act, make available to any Holder or beneficial Securityholder or any such
Common Stock, in each case which continue to be Restricted Securities, in connection with any sale
thereof and any prospective Purchasers of Securities or such Common Stock from such Holder or
beneficial holder, the information required pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act
upon the request of any Holder or beneficial holder of the Securities or such Common Stock and it
will take such further action as any Holder or beneficial holder of such Securities or such Common
Stock may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder or
beneficial holder to sell its Securities or Common Stock without registration under the Securities
Act within the limitation of the exemption provided by Rule 144A, as such rule may be amended from
time to time. Upon the request of any Holder or any beneficial holder of the Securities or such
Common Stock, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has
complied with such requirements.

     Section 6.08. Resale of Certain Securities. During the period beginning on the Issue Date
and ending on the date that is two years from the Issue Date, the Company shall not, and shall not
permit any of its “affiliates” (as defined under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any successor
provision thereto) to, resell any Securities which constitute “restricted securities” under Rule
144 that have

59

 

been reacquired by any of them. The Trustee shall have no responsibility in respect of the
Company’s performance of its agreement in the preceding sentence.

     Section 6.09. Book-Entry System. If the Securities cease to trade in the Depositary’s
book-entry settlement system, the Company covenants and agrees that it shall use reasonable efforts
to make such other book entry arrangements that it determines are reasonable for the Securities.

     Section 6.10. Additional Interest under the Registration Rights Agreement. If at any time
Additional Interest become payable by the Company pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement,
the Company shall promptly deliver to the Trustee a certificate to that effect and stating (i) the
amount of such Additional Interest that is payable and (ii) the date on which such Additional
Interest is payable pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement. Unless and until a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives such a certificate, the Trustee may assume without
inquiry that no Additional Interest is payable. If the Company has paid Additional Interest
directly to the Persons entitled to such Additional Interest, the Company shall deliver to the
Trustee a certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment.

     Section 6.11. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it
may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever
claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which
would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or
interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in
force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to
the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law,
and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of
any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such
power as though no such law had been enacted.

     Section 6.12. Information for IRS Filings. The Company shall provide to the Trustee on a
timely basis such information as the Trustee requires to enable the Trustee to prepare and file any
form required to be submitted by the Company to the Internal Revenue Service and the Holders of the
Securities.

     Section 6.13. Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company will
execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably
necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Indenture.

     Section 6.14. Tax Treatment of the Securities. The Company agrees, and by acceptance of a
beneficial ownership interest in the Securities each Holder of

60

 

Securities will be deemed to have agreed, for United States federal income tax purposes, (a)
to treat the Securities as indebtedness of the Company subject to United States Treasury
regulations section 1.1275-4 (the “Contingent Debt Regulations”) and, for purposes of the
Contingent Debt Regulations, to treat the Fair Market Value of any Common Stock beneficially
received by a Holder upon any conversion of the Securities as a contingent payment, (b) to be bound
by the Company’s determination of the “comparable yield” and “projected payment schedule,” within
the meaning of the Contingent Debt Regulations, with respect to the Securities and (c) to use such
“comparable yield” and “projected payment schedule” in determining interest accruals with respect
to such Holder’s Securities and in determining adjustments thereto. A Holder of Securities may
obtain the issue date, yield to maturity, comparable yield and the projected payment schedule by
submitting a written request for such information to: Intel Corporation, 2200 Mission College
Blvd., M/S SC4-203, Santa Clara, CA 95052-8119, Attention: Corporate Secretary, with a copy to
Intel Corporation, 2200 Mission College Blvd., M/S RN6-46, Santa Clara, CA 95052-8119, Attention:
Treasurer.

ARTICLE 7

Redemption

     Section 7.01. Right to Redeem; Notices to Trustee. (a) The Securities may be redeemed in
whole or in part at the option of the Company:

     (i) on or prior to June 12, 2006, if any Tax Triggering Event has occurred; and

     (ii) on or after December 15, 2012, if the Last Reported Sale Price of the Company’s
Common Stock has been greater than or equal to 130% of Conversion Price then in effect for
at least 20 Trading Days during any 30 consecutive Trading Day period prior to the date on
which the Company provides notice of redemption.

     (b) The redemption price at which the Securities are redeemable (the “Redemption Price”) shall
be payable in cash and shall be equal to:

     (i) in the case of a redemption pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(i), 101.5% of the
Principal Amount of the Securities being redeemed plus (A) accrued and unpaid Interest to,
but excluding, the Redemption Date and (B) if the Conversion Value as of the Redemption
Date of the Securities being redeemed exceeds their Initial Conversion Value, 77% of the
amount determined by subtracting the Initial Conversion Value of such Securities from
their Conversion Value as of the Redemption Date; or

61

 

     (ii) in the case of a redemption pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(ii), 100% of the
Principal Amount of Securities to be redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid Interest
to, but excluding, the Redemption Date; provided, however, that if Securities are redeemed
on any Interest Payment Date, the Interest payable in respect of such Interest Payment
Date shall be payable to the Holders of record as of the corresponding Record Date.

     (c) The Company may not redeem any Securities unless all accrued and unpaid Interest thereon
has been or is simultaneously paid for all semi-annual periods or portions thereof terminating
prior to the Redemption Date. In addition, the Company may not redeem any Securities or deliver to
any Holder of Securities a notice of redemption pursuant to Section 7.03 during any Extension
Period or at any time when there exists any accrued and unpaid Deferred Interest.

     (d) Except as provided in this Section 7.01, the Securities shall not be redeemable by the
Company.

     Section 7.02. Selection of Securities to be Redeemed. If less than all the Securities are
to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed pro rata or by lot or by any
other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate (so long as such method is not prohibited
by the rules of The Nasdaq National Market or any stock exchange on which the Securities are then
listed, as applicable). The Trustee shall make the selection within 7 days from its receipt of the
notice from the Company delivered pursuant to Section 7.03 from Outstanding Securities not
previously called for redemption.

     Securities and portions of them the Trustee selects shall be in Principal Amounts of $1,000 or
integral multiples of $1,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for
redemption in whole also apply to Securities called for redemption in part. The Trustee shall
notify the Company promptly of the Securities or portions of Securities to be redeemed.

     If any Security selected for partial redemption is converted in part before termination of the
conversion right with respect to the portion of the Security so selected, the converted portion of
such Security shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption.
Securities which have been converted during a selection of Securities to be redeemed may be treated
by the Trustee as outstanding for the purpose of such selection.

     Section 7.03. Notice of Redemption. At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a
Redemption Date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail, postage
prepaid, to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and each Holder of Securities to be redeemed; provided,
however, that the Company may not deliver any such notice to any Holder of Securities during any

62

 

Extension Period or at any time when there exists any accrued and unpaid Deferred Interest.

     The notice shall specify the Securities to be redeemed and shall state:

     (i) the Redemption Date;

     (ii) the Redemption Price;

     (iii) the Conversion Price;

     (iv) the name and address of the Paying Agent and Conversion Agent;

     (v) that Securities called for redemption may be converted at any time before the
close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date;

     (vi) that Holders who want to convert Securities must satisfy the requirements set
forth therein and in this Indenture;

     (vii) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent
for cancellation to collect the Redemption Price;

     (viii) if fewer than all the outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the
certificate numbers (if such Securities are held other than in global form) and Principal
Amounts of the particular Securities to be redeemed;

     (ix) that, unless the Company defaults in making payment of such Redemption Price,
Interest will cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date; and

     (x) the CUSIP number of the Securities.

     At the Company’s written request delivered at least 30 days prior to the date such notice is
to be given (unless a shorter time period shall be acceptable to the Trustee), the Trustee shall
give the notice of redemption to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed in the Company’s name and
at the Company’s expense.

     Section 7.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is given,
Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the
Redemption Price stated in the notice except for Securities that are converted in accordance with
the terms of this Indenture. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at
the Redemption Price stated in the notice.

63

 

     Section 7.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a
Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or if the Company or a Subsidiary
or an Affiliate of either of them is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money
sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all Securities to be redeemed on that date other than
Securities or portions of Securities called for redemption which on or prior thereto have been
delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation or have been converted. The Paying Agent
shall as promptly as practicable return to the Company any money not required for that purpose
because of conversion of Securities pursuant to Article 9. If such money is then held by the
Company in trust and is not required for such purpose it shall be discharged from such trust.

     Section 7.06. Securities Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in
part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder a new
Security in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the
Security surrendered. The Company shall not be required to (i) issue, register the transfer of, or
exchange any Securities during a period of 15 days before the Redemption Date or (ii) register the
transfer of, or exchange any, Securities so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except
the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

ARTICLE 8

Fundamental Changes and Repurchases Thereupon

     Section 8.01. Repurchase at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change.

     (a) Generally. If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time, then each Securityholder shall
have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase all of such Holder’s
Securities or any portion thereof that is a multiple of $1,000 Principal Amount, on the date (the
“Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) specified by the Company that is not less than 20 Business
Days and not more than 35 Business Days after the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice (as
defined below) at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the Principal Amount thereof, together with
accrued and unpaid Interest thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the
“Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”); provided, however, that if Securities are repurchased
pursuant to this Section 8.01 on any Interest Payment Date, the Interest payable in respect of such
Interest Payment Date shall be payable to the Holders of record as of the corresponding Record
Date.

     Repurchases of Securities under this Section 8.01 shall be made, at the option of the Holder
thereof, upon:

64

 

     (i) delivery to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by a
Holder of a duly completed notice (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) in the form
set forth on the reverse of the Securities prior to the close of business on the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; and

     (ii) delivery or book-entry transfer of the Securities to the Trustee (or other
Paying Agent appointed by the Company) at any time after delivery of the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements) at the applicable
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) in
the Borough of Manhattan, such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor; provided that such Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 8.01 only if the Securities so
delivered to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall conform in
all respects to the description thereof in the related Fundamental Change Repurchase
Notice.

     The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice shall state:

     (A) if certificated, the certificate numbers of Securities to be delivered
for repurchase;

     (B) the portion of the Principal Amount of Securities to be repurchased,
which must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and

     (C) that the Securities are to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to
the applicable provisions of the Securities and the Indenture.

     Any purchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.01 shall
be consummated by the delivery of the consideration to be received by the Holder promptly following
the later of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and the time of the book-entry transfer or
delivery of the Securities.

     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Trustee (or
other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice contemplated
by this Section 8.01 shall have the right to withdraw such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice at
any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Trustee (or

65

 

other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) in accordance with Section 8.03 below.

     The Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall promptly notify the Company
of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal
thereof.

     (b) Fundamental Change Company Notice. On or before the 20th Business Day after
the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall provide to all Holders of record of the
Securities and the Trustee and Paying Agent a notice (the “Fundamental Change Company Notice”) of
the occurrence of such Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right at the option of the Holders
arising as a result thereof. Such mailing shall be by first class mail. Simultaneously with
providing such Fundamental Change Company Notice, the Company shall publish a notice containing the
information included therein once in a newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York or
publish such information on the Company’s website or through such other public medium as the
Company may use at such time.

     Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:

     (i) the events causing the Fundamental Change;

     (ii) the date of the Fundamental Change;

     (iii) the last date on which a Holder may exercise the repurchase right;

     (iv) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;

     (v) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;

     (vi) the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent, if
applicable;

     (vii) if applicable, the applicable Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the
applicable Conversion Rate;

     (viii) whether the Company will pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in cash,
shares of the Company’s Common Stock, Acquiror Securities or a combination thereof,
specifying the percentage of each;

     (ix) if applicable, that the Securities with respect to which a Fundamental Change
Repurchase Notice has been delivered by a Holder

66

 

may be converted only if the Holder withdraws the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Notice in accordance with Section 8.03; and

     (x) the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to repurchase
their Securities.

     No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the
Securityholders’ repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of
the Securities pursuant to this Section 8.01.

     (c) No Payment During Events of Default. There shall be no repurchase of any Securities
pursuant to this Section 8.01 if there has occurred (prior to, on or after, as the case may be, the
giving, by the Holders of such Securities, of the required Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice)
and is continuing an Event of Default (other than a default that is cured by the payment of the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Securities). The Paying Agent will
promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Securities (i) with respect to which a
Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been withdrawn in compliance with this Indenture, or (ii)
held by it during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than a default that is cured by the
payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Securities) in which case,
upon such return, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to
have been withdrawn.

     (d) Payment of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. The Securities to be repurchased pursuant
to this Section 8.01 shall be paid for in cash; provided that if a Fundamental Change occurs as a
result of a Change of Control Event and no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, the
Securities to be repurchased may be paid for, in whole or in part, at the election of the Company,
in (i) shares of the Company’s Common Stock that are Publicly Traded Securities, (ii) shares of
Capital Stock of an acquiror of the Company that are Publicly Traded Securities (“Acquiror
Securities”) or (iii) any combination of cash or the shares specified in clauses (i) or (ii), in
each case subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (e) below.

     (e) Conditions for Election to Pay Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in Common Stock or
Acquiror Securities. If the Company elects to pay all or any portion of the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price in shares of Common Stock or in Acquiror Securities, the number of shares of
Common Stock or Acquiror Securities to be paid will equal the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the
portion of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price to be paid in such shares of Common Stock or
Acquiror Securities by (ii) 95% of the average of the Last Reported Sale Price of such shares of
Common Stock or Acquiror Securities, as applicable, for the five Trading Day period immediately
preceding but ending on the third Trading Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change

67

 

Repurchase Date, appropriately adjusted to take into account the occurrence, during the period
commencing on the first of the Trading Days during the five Trading Day period and ending on the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, of any event described in Section 9.03. The Company shall
designate, in the Fundamental Change Company Notice delivered pursuant to Section 8.01(b) above,
whether it will repurchase the Securities for cash, shares of Common Stock or Acquiror Securities
or, if a combination thereof, the percentages of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in respect
of which it will pay cash, shares of Common Stock and Acquiror Securities; provided that the
Company will pay cash for fractional interests in shares of Common Stock and Acquiror Securities.
For purposes of determining the existence of potential fractional interests, all Securities subject
to repurchase by the Company held by a Holder shall be considered together (no matter how many
separate certificates are to be presented). Each Holder whose Securities are repurchased pursuant
to this Section 8.01 shall receive the same percentages of cash, shares of Common Stock and
Acquiror Securities in payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for such Securities,
except with regard to the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock or Acquiror
Securities. The Company may not change its election with respect to the consideration (or
components or percentages of components thereof) to be paid once the Company has given its
Fundamental Change Company Notice to Holders except in the event of a failure to satisfy, prior to
the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, any
condition to the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, in whole or in part, in shares
of Common Stock or Acquiror Securities.

        The Company shall, at least three Business Days prior to delivering the Fundamental Change
Company Notice, deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee specifying:

     (i) the manner of payment selected by the Company,

     (ii) the information required by the Fundamental Change Company Notice pursuant to
Section 8.01(b),

     (iii) if the Company elects to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, or a
specified percentage thereof, in shares of Common Stock or Acquiror Securities, that the
conditions to such manner of payment set forth in this Section 8.01(e) have been or will
be complied with, and

     (iv) whether the Company desires the Trustee to give the Fundamental Change Company
Notice required by Section 8.01(b).

68

 

     The Company’s right to exercise its election to repurchase Securities through the delivery of
shares of Common Stock or Acquiror Securities shall be conditioned upon:

     (i) the Company’s giving a timely Fundamental Change Company Notice containing an
election to purchase all or a specified percentage of the Securities with shares of Common
Stock or Acquiror Securities as provided herein;

     (ii) the registration of such shares of Common Stock or Acquiror Securities under the
Securities Act and, if required, the Exchange Act;

     (iii) the listing of such shares of Common Stock or Acquiror Securities on a United
States national securities exchange or the quotation of such shares of Common Stock or
Acquiror Securities in an inter-dealer quotation system of any registered United States
national securities association, in each case, if the Common Stock or Acquiror Securities,
as applicable, are then listed on a national securities exchange or quoted in an
inter-dealer quotation system;

     (iv) any necessary qualification or registration of such shares of Common Stock or
Acquiror Securities under applicable state securities laws or the availability of an
exemption from such qualification and registration; and

     (v) the receipt by the Trustee of (1) an Officers’ Certificate stating that the terms
of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock or Acquiror Securities are in conformity
with this Indenture, (2) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the shares of Common
Stock or Acquiror Securities to be delivered in payment of the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price in respect of the Securities have been duly authorized and, when issued
and delivered pursuant to the terms of this Indenture in payment of the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price in respect of the Securities, will be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable and (3) an Officer’s Certificate, stating that the conditions to the
issuance of the shares of Common Stock or Acquiror Securities have been satisfied.

     Such Officers’ Certificate shall also set forth the Last Reported Sale Price of a share of
Common Stock or Acquiror Securities, as applicable, on each Trading Day during the period
commencing on the fifth Trading Day immediately preceding but ending on the third Business Day
prior to the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. If the foregoing conditions are not
satisfied prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date and the Company has elected to

69

 

repurchase the Securities through the issuance of shares of Common Stock or the delivery of
Acquiror Securities, the Company shall pay the entire Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of the
Securities in cash.

     Promptly after determination of the actual number of shares of Common Stock or Acquiror
Securities to be issued upon repurchase of Securities, the Company shall be required to disseminate
a press release through Dow Jones & Company, Inc. or Bloomberg Business News containing the
information required by the Fundamental Change Company Notice or shall publish the information on
the Company’s website or through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time.

     All shares of Common Stock and Acquiror Securities delivered upon repurchase of the Securities
shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

     If a Holder of a repurchased Security is paid in shares of Common Stock or Acquiror
Securities, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on
such issue of Common Stock. However, the Holder shall pay any such tax that is due because the
Holder requests that the Common Stock or Acquiror Securities be issued in a name other than the
Holder’s name. The Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) may refuse to deliver
the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock or Acquiror Securities being issued in a
name other than the Holder’s name until the Trustee (or other paying agent appointed by the
Company) receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax that will be due because the shares of Common
Stock are to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name. Nothing herein shall preclude any
income tax withholding required by law or regulations.

     Section 8.02. Effect of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice. Upon receipt by the Paying
Agent of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice specified in Section 8.01(a), the Holder of the
Security in respect of which such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice was given shall (unless such
Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is withdrawn as specified in the following two paragraphs)
thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to
such Security. Such Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be paid to such Holder, subject to
receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, promptly following the later of (x) the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date with respect to such Security (provided the conditions in Section 8.01(a) have been
satisfied) and (y) the time of delivery of such Security to the Paying Agent by the Holder thereof
in the manner required by Section 8.01(b).

70

 

     Section 8.03. Withdrawal of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.

     (a) A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of
withdrawal delivered to the Paying Agent in accordance with the Fundamental Change Company Notice
at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, specifying:

     (i) the Principal Amount of the Securities with respect to which such notice of
withdrawal is being submitted;

     (ii) if Physical Securities have been issued, the certificate numbers of the
withdrawn Securities; and

     (iii) the principal amount, if any, of such Securities that remains subject to the
original Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, which portion must be in principal amounts
of $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000;

provided, however, that if the Securities are not in certificated form, the notice must comply with
appropriate procedures of the Depositary.

     Section 8.04. Deposit of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Prior to 10:00 a.m. (local
time in The City of New York) on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Company shall deposit
with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of
either of them is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided herein)
an amount of money (in immediately available funds if deposited on such Business Day) or Common
Stock or Acquiror Securities, if permitted hereunder, sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price, of all the Securities or portions thereof that are to be repurchased as of the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of
the amount of any deposits of cash, Common Stock or Acquiror Securities made pursuant to this
Section 8.04. If the Paying Agent holds cash, Common Stock or Acquiror Securities sufficient to
pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of any Security for which a Fundamental Change
Repurchase Notice has been tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with this Indenture as of the
close of business on the Business Day prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, then
immediately following the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, (a) such Security will cease to be
outstanding and Interest will cease to accrue thereon and (b) all other rights of the Holder in
respect thereof will terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Price and previously accrued and unpaid Interest upon delivery or transfer of such Security).

71

 

     Section 8.05. Securities Repurchased in Whole or in Part. Any Security that is to be
repurchased, whether in whole or in part, shall be surrendered at the office of the Paying Agent
(with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof
or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge, a new
Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate
Principal Amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the Principal Amount of the Security
so surrendered which is not repurchased.

     Section 8.06. Covenant to Comply With Securities Laws Upon Repurchase of Securities. In
connection with any offer to repurchase Securities under Section 8.01 (provided that such offer or
repurchase constitutes an “issuer tender offer” for purposes of Rule 13e-4 (which term, as used
herein, includes any successor provision thereto) under the Exchange Act at the time of such offer
or repurchase), the Company shall (i) comply with Rule 13e-4 and Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act,
(ii) file the related Schedule TO (or any successor schedule, form or report) under the Exchange
Act, and (iii) otherwise comply with all Federal and state securities laws so as to permit the
rights and obligations under Section 8.01 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified
in Section 8.01.

     Section 8.07. Repayment to the Company. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall return to
the Company any cash that remains unclaimed, together with interest or dividends, if any, thereon,
held by them for the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price; provided that to the
extent that the aggregate amount of cash, Common Stock and/or Acquiror Securities deposited by the
Company pursuant to Section 8.04 exceeds the aggregate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of the
Securities or portions thereof which the Company is obligated to repurchase as of the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date, then as soon as practicable following the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Date, the Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall return any such excess to the
Company.

ARTICLE 9

Conversion

     Section 9.01. Conversion Obligation.

     (a) Upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 9, a Holder shall have the right, at
such Holder’s option, to convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is in a
Principal Amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple

72

 

thereof) of such Security at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled Trading
Day immediately preceding the Stated Maturity at a rate (the “Conversion Rate”) of 31.7162 shares
of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in this Indenture) per $1,000 Principal Amount
(the “Conversion Obligation”).

(b) (i) If a Holder elects to convert Securities at any time from and after the date
that is 30 Business Days prior to the anticipated effective date of a Make-Whole
Fundamental Change until the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (or, if there is no
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date because the 105% Exception is applicable, then until 30
Business Days following the date of such Fundamental Change, determined without regard to
the 105% Exception), the Conversion Rate applicable to each $1,000 Principal Amount of
converted Securities shall be increased by an additional number of shares of Common Stock
(the “Additional Shares”) as described below. Settlement of Securities tendered for
conversion to which Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate as provided in
this subsection shall be settled pursuant to Section 9.02(d) below.

     (ii) The number of Additional Shares by which the Conversion Rate will be increased
shall be determined by reference to the table attached as Exhibit B hereto, based on the
date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the
“Effective Date”) and the Stock Price; provided that if the actual Stock Price is between
two Stock Price amounts in such table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates
in such table, the number of Additional Shares shall be determined by a straight-line
interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the next higher and
next lower Stock Price amounts and the two nearest Effective Dates, as applicable, based
on a 365-day year; provided further that if (1) the Stock Price is greater than $100.00
per share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment in the same manner as set forth in
Section 9.03), no Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion Rate, and (2) the
Stock Price is less than $26.72 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as set
forth in Section 9.03), no Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion Rate.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the total number of Additional Shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion exceed 5.7089 per $1,000 Principal Amount (subject
to adjustment in the same manner as set forth in Section 9.03).

     (iii) The Stock Prices set forth in the first row of the table in Exhibit B hereto
shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Securities is
adjusted. The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately
prior to such adjustment,

73

 

multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate in effect
immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the
denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional
Shares within the table shall be adjusted in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set
forth in Section 9.03 (other than by operation of an adjustment to the Conversion Rate by
adding Additional Shares).

     (iv) If at any time the Company obtains knowledge that a Make-Whole Fundamental
Change will occur, then, no later than 30 Business Days prior to the anticipated effective
date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change (or, in the event that the Company obtains
knowledge of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change less than 30 Business Days before such
anticipated effective date, no later than 3 Business Days after the date on which the
Company obtains such knowledge), the Company shall notify Holders of the Securities, the
Trustee and the Paying Agent of the occurrence and anticipated effective date of such
Make-Whole Fundamental Change and shall disseminate a press release through Reuters
Economic Services and Bloomberg Business News stating that it expects a Make-Whole
Fundamental Change to occur with respect to the Securities and identifying the anticipated
effective date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

      Section 9.02. Conversion Procedure.

     (a) Upon conversion of any Security, subject to this Section 9.02, Section 9.01 and Section
9.06, the Company will satisfy the Conversion Obligation with respect to each $1,000 Principal
Amount of Securities tendered for conversion by delivering either (i) on the fifth Business Day
following the related Conversion Date, shares of fully paid Common Stock equal to the Conversion
Rate or (ii) on the tenth Business Day following the related Conversion Date, cash or a combination
of cash and the Company’s Common Stock as provided in Section 9.02(b) or Section 9.02(c), as
applicable. In either case, the Company will deliver cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common
Stock as set forth pursuant to clause (l) below.

     (b) If any adjustment to the Conversion Rate or conversion of Securities pursuant to this
Article 9 would require the Company to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of the amount
permitted by applicable listing standards of The Nasdaq National Market to be issued without
approval by the Company’s stockholders, the Company shall either (i) obtain the approval of its
stockholders with respect to such issuance or (ii) in lieu of delivering shares of Common Stock in
excess of such limitations, pay cash on a pro rata basis to the Holders of Securities being
converted in an amount per share of Common Stock equal to the Last Reported Sale Price for the
Company’s Common Stock on the Trading Day

74

 

immediately prior to the Conversion Date, as determined by the Company or its agent.

     (c) If there is no Event of Default with respect to the Securities that is continuing, then
the Company may, at its option, in lieu of delivering shares of Common Stock, elect to pay the
Holder surrendering such a Security for conversion an amount of cash equal to the average, as
determined by the Company or its agent, of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Company’s Common
Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days immediately following (i) the date of delivery of
notice of the Company’s election to deliver cash if the Company has not given notice of redemption
with respect to such Security pursuant to Section 7.03, or (ii) the Conversion Date, in the case of
a conversion following the delivery by the Company of a notice of redemption with respect to such
Security pursuant to Section 7.03, specifying that the Company intends to deliver cash upon
conversion, in either case multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of such Security on that date. If the Company elects to deliver cash in lieu of Common
Stock, the Company shall inform Holders of such election by delivering an irrevocable written
notice to the Trustee and the Paying Agent prior to the close of business on the second Business
Day after the Conversion Date, unless the Company has already informed Holders of its election by
delivering an irrevocable notice in connection with redemption of the debentures pursuant to
Section 7.03.

     (d) Before any Holder of a Security shall be entitled to convert the same as set forth above,
such Holder shall (1) in the case of a Global Security, comply with the procedures of the
Depositary in effect at that time and, if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next
Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 9.02(j) and, if
required pursuant to Section 9.02(g), pay all stamp, transfer or similar taxes or duties, if any,
in connection with such conversion and (2) in the case of a Security issued in certificated form,
(A) complete and manually sign and deliver an irrevocable written notice to the Conversion Agent in
the form on the reverse of such certificated Security (or a facsimile thereof) (a “Notice of
Conversion”) at the office of the Conversion Agent and shall state in writing therein the principal
amount of Securities to be converted and the name or names (with addresses) in which such Holder
wishes the certificate or certificates for any shares of Common Stock, if any, to be delivered upon
settlement of the Conversion Obligation to be registered, (B) surrender such Securities, duly
endorsed to the Company or in blank (and accompanied by appropriate endorsement and transfer
documents), at the office of the Conversion Agent, (C) if required, pay funds equal to interest
payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in
Section 9.02(j), and (D) if required pursuant to Section 9.02(g), pay all stamp, transfer or
similar taxes or duties, if any, in connection with such conversion. No Notice of Conversion with
respect to any Securities may be tendered by a Holder thereof if such Holder has also tendered a
Fundamental

75

 

Change Repurchase Notice and not validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice
in accordance with Section 8.03.

     If more than one Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder,
the Conversion Obligation with respect to such Securities, if any, that shall be payable upon
conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities (or
specified portions thereof to the extent permitted thereby) so surrendered.

     (e) A Security shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of
business on the date (the “Conversion Date”) that the Holder has complied with the requirements set
forth in clause (d). Payment of the shares of Common Stock and cash, if any, pursuant to Section
9.02(a) in satisfaction of the Conversion Obligation shall be made by the Company in no event later
than the date specified in Section 9.02(a) by paying such shares of Common Stock and cash, if any
(in each case, together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares), to the Holder of a Security
surrendered for conversion, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, and issue, or cause to be issued,
and deliver to the Conversion Agent or to such Holder, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees,
certificates or a book-entry transfer through the Depositary for the number of full shares of
Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled as part of such Conversion Obligation.

     (f) In case any Security shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder
of the Security so surrendered, without charge to such Holder, a new Security or Securities in
authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the
surrendered Securities.

     (g) If a Holder submits a Security for conversion, the Company shall pay all stamp and other
duties, if any, which may be imposed by the United States or any political subdivision thereof or
taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock, if any,
upon the conversion. However, the Holder shall pay any such tax which is due because the Holder
requests any shares of Common Stock to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name. The
Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock
being issued in a name other than the Holder’s name until the Trustee receives a sum sufficient to
pay any tax which will be due because the shares are to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s
name. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulations.

76

 

     (h) Except as provided in Section 9.03, no adjustment shall be made for dividends on any
shares issued upon the conversion of any Security as provided in this Article.

     (i) Upon the conversion of an interest in a Global Security, the Trustee shall make a notation
on such Global Security as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The
Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversion of any Security effected through any
Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.

     (j) Upon conversion, a Securityholder will not receive any separate cash payment for accrued
and unpaid Interest except as set forth below. The Company’s settlement of the Conversion
Obligation as described above shall be deemed to satisfy its obligation to pay the Principal Amount
of the Security and accrued and unpaid Interest to, but not including, the Conversion Date. As a
result, accrued and unpaid Interest to, but not including, the Conversion Date shall be deemed to
be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, payments in respect of accrued and unpaid Interest on Securities converted after the
close of business on a Record Date and prior to the opening of business on the related Interest
Payment Date shall be governed by the provisions of Section 4.01 hereof. Except as described
above, no payment or adjustment will be made for accrued interest on converted Securities.

     (k) The Person in whose name the certificate for such shares of Common Stock is registered
shall be treated as a stockholder of record on and after the Conversion Date; provided, however,
that no surrender of Securities on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be
closed shall be effective to constitute the Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of
Common Stock upon such conversion as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on
such date, but such surrender shall be effective to constitute the Person or Persons entitled to
receive such shares of Common Stock as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes at the
close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open; such
conversion shall be at the Conversion Rate in effect on the date that such Securities shall have
been surrendered for conversion, as if the stock transfer books of the Company had not been closed.
Upon conversion of Securities, such Person shall no longer be a Securityholder.

     (l) No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of any Security or
Securities. If more than one Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same
Holder, the number of full shares that shall be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on
the basis of the aggregate Principal Amount of the Securities (or specified portions thereof) so
surrendered. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock that would

77

 

otherwise be issued upon conversion of any Security or Securities (or specified portions
thereof), the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction (calculated to the
nearest one-100th of a share) in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Last Reported Sale
Price of the Common Stock on the related Conversion Date.

     Section 9.03. Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time
to time by the Company as follows:

     (a) In case the Company shall issue shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution to
all holders of the outstanding Common Stock, or shall effect a subdivision into a greater number of
shares of Common Stock or combination into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, the
Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	CR0
	 	=
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such event;
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	CR'
	 	=
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such event;
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	OS0
	 	=
	 	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
such event; and
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	OS'
	 	=
	 	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such
event.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
Business Day following the record date fixed for such determination. The Company will not pay any
dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in treasury by the Company. If
any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 9.03(a) is declared but not so
paid or made, or the outstanding shares of Common Stock are not subdivided or combined, as the case
may be, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of
Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, or subdivide or combine the
outstanding shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, to the Conversion Rate that would then be
in effect if such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination had not been declared.

78

 

     (b) In case the Company shall issue to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding
shares of Common Stock rights, warrants or convertible securities entitling them (for a period
expiring within 45 calendar days after the record date fixed for such issuance) to subscribe for or
purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Last Reported Sale Price of the
Common Stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance,
the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

where

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	CR0
	 	=
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such event;
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	CR'
	 	=
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such event;
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	OS0
	 	=
	 	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to
such event;
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	X
	 	=
	 	the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such
rights, warrants or convertible securities; and
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	Y
	 	=
	 	the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable
to exercise or convert such rights, warrants or convertible securities divided by the
average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the ten consecutive
Trading Day period ending on the Business Day immediately preceding the record date
(or, if earlier, the Ex-Dividend Date relating to such distribution) for the issuance
of such rights, warrants or convertible securities.

Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights, warrants or convertible
securities are issued and shall become effective immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time,
on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance. The Company
shall not issue any such rights, warrants or convertible securities in respect of shares of Common
Stock held in treasury by the Company. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered
after the expiration of such rights, warrants or convertible securities, 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, warrants or convertible securities been made on the basis of delivery of
only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, warrants or

79

 

convertible securities are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the
Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such record date for such distribution had not been
fixed.

In determining whether any rights, warrants or convertible securities entitle the holders to
subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Last Reported Sale Price, and in
determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into
account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, warrants or convertible
securities and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such
consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.

     (c) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially
all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of Capital Stock of the Company (other than
Common Stock as covered by Section 9.03(a)), evidences of its indebtedness or other assets or
property of the Company (including securities, but excluding dividends and distributions covered by
Section 9.03(b), Section 9.03(d), Section 9.03(e) or Section 9.06) (any of such shares of Capital
Stock, indebtedness, or other asset or property hereinafter in this Section 9.03(c) called the
“Distributed Property”), then, in each such case the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the
following formula:

where

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	CR0
	 	=
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such distribution;
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	CR'
	 	=
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such distribution;
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	SP0
	 	=
	 	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the
ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Business Day immediately preceding
the record date for such distribution (or, if earlier, the Ex-Dividend Date relating
to such distribution); and
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	FMV
	 	=
	 	the fair market value (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors)
of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets or property
distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock on the record date
for such distribution (or, if earlier, the Ex-Dividend Date relating to such
distribution).

80

 

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
Business Day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive
such distribution. 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 9.03(c) by reference to the actual or when issued
trading market for any securities, it shall in doing so consider the prices in such market over the
same period used in computing the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices prior to the applicable
record date.

With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 9.03(c) where there has been a payment of a
dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock or shares of Capital Stock of any class or
series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit (a
“Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive the distribution will be
increased based on the following formula:

where

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	CR0
	 	=
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such distribution;
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	CR'
	 	=
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such distribution;
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	FMV0
	 	=
	 	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or
similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one
share of Common Stock over the first ten consecutive Trading Day period after the
effective date of the Spin-Off; and
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	MP0
	 	=
	 	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the
first ten consecutive Trading Day period after the effective date of the Spin-Off.

Such adjustment shall occur on the tenth Trading Day from, and including, the effective date of the
Spin-Off.

     Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the
holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the

81

 

Company’s Capital Stock (either
initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a
specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of
Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of
Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 9.03 (and
no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 9.03 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 9.03(c). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or
warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the
occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities,
evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such
event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or
warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants
without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or
deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type
described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of
calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section
9.03 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or
repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon
such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the
case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase
price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants
(assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as
of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants that
shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate
shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued.

     For purposes of this Section 9.03(c), Section 9.03(a), and Section 9.03(b), any dividend or
distribution to which this Section 9.03(c) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock,
or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock to which Section 9.03(b)
applies (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of
indebtedness, assets or shares of Capital Stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or
warrants to which Section 9.03(b) applies (and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this
Section 9.03(c) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately
followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or
warrants (and any further Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 9.03(a) and Section

82

 

9.03(b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the record
date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as “the record date”, “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 Section 9.03(a) and Section 9.03(b) and (B) any
shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding
at the close of business immediately prior to such event” within the meaning of Section 9.03(a).

     (d) In case the Company shall pay a dividend or make a distribution consisting exclusively of
cash to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock that is not designated as an
Extraordinary Dividend payable to Securityholders, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on
the following formula:

where

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	CR0
	 	=
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the record date for
such distribution;
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	CR'
	 	=
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the record date for such
distribution;
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	SP0
	 	=
	 	the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock on the Trading Day
immediately preceding the record date for such distribution (or, if earlier, the
Ex-Dividend Date relating to such distribution); and
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	C
	 	=
	 	the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to holders of Common
Stock in excess of $0.10 per fiscal quarter, appropriately adjusted from time to time
as necessary for any share dividends on, or subdivisions or combinations of, the
Company’s Common Stock.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
record date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or
made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in
effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

     For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 9.03(d), in the event of any
reclassification of the Common Stock, as a result of which the

83

 

Securities become convertible into
more than one class of Common Stock, if an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant
to this Section 9.03(d), references in this Section to one share of Common Stock or Last Reported
Sale Price of one share of Common Stock shall be deemed to refer to a unit or to the price of a
unit consisting of the number of shares of each class of Common Stock into which the Securities are
then convertible equal to the numbers of shares of such class issued in respect of one share of
Common Stock in such reclassification. The above provisions of this paragraph shall similarly
apply to successive reclassifications.

     (e) In case the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender
offer or exchange offer for all or any portion of the Common Stock, to the extent that the cash and
value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Last
Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which
tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended),
the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

where

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	CR0
	 	=
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect on the date such tender or exchange offer
expires;
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	CR'
	 	=
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect on the day next succeeding the date such
tender or exchange offer expires;
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	AC
	 	=
	 	the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as
determined by the Company’s Board of Directors) paid or payable for shares purchased
in such tender or exchange offer;
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	OS0
	 	=
	 	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
date such tender or exchange offer expires (including any purchased shares);
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	OS'
	 	=
	 	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the
date such tender or exchange offer expires (not including any purchased shares); and
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	SP'
	 	=
	 	the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the ten
consecutive Trading Day period

84

 

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	 	 	commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires,

such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day
following the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or
exchange offer. If the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender or
exchange offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting 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.

     (f) For purposes of this Section 9.03 the term “record date” shall mean, with respect to any
dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of Common Stock have the
right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the 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).

     (g) In addition to those required by clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) of this Section 9.03,
and to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of The Nasdaq
National Market, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a
period of at least 20 days if the Company’s Board of Directors determines that such increase would
be in the Company’s best interest. In addition, the Company may also (but is not required to)
increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or
rights to purchase Common Stock in connection with any dividend or distribution of shares (or
rights to acquire shares) or similar event. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to
the preceding sentence, the Company shall mail to the Holder of each Security at such Holder’s last
address appearing on the Security Register provided for in Section 3.05 a notice of the increase at
least fifteen days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice
shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.

     (h) All calculations and other determinations under this Article 9 shall be made by the
Company or its agents and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-ten thousandth
(1/10,000) of a share, as the case may be. No adjustment shall be made for the Company’s issuance
of Common Stock or convertible or exchangeable securities or rights to purchase Common Stock or
convertible or exchangeable securities, other than as provided in this Section 9.03. No adjustment
shall be made to the Conversion Rate unless such adjustment would require a change of at least 1%
in the Conversion Rate then in effect at

85

 

such time. Any adjustment that would otherwise be
required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment or
in connection with any conversion of Securities following a notice of redemption, upon a
Fundamental Change or at Maturity, as applicable.

     (i) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly
file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate
setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the
facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee and the
Conversion Agent shall have received such Officers’ Certificate, neither the Trustee nor the
Conversion Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may
assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
or the Conversion Agent, as applicable, 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 mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to each
Holder at his last address appearing on the Security Register provided for in Section 3.05 of this
Indenture, within 20 days of the effective date of such adjustment. Failure to deliver such notice
shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

     (j) In any case in which this Section 9.03 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 9.03(a), (3) a date
fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive rights or warrants pursuant to
Section 9.03(b), or (4) the expiration date for any tender or exchange offer pursuant to Section
9.03(e) (each an “Adjustment 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 Security converted after such Adjustment Determination Date and before the occurrence of such
Adjustment Event, the additional shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon such
conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such Adjustment Event over and above the Common
Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (y) paying to such
Holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to Section 9.03. For purposes of this
Section 9.03(j), 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,

86

 

     (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
Common Stock pursuant to such tender or exchange offer is consummated and becomes
irrevocable.

     (k) For purposes of this Section 9.03, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time
outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares
issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.
The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in
the treasury of the Company.

     Section 9.04. Shares to Be Fully Paid. The Company shall provide, free from preemptive
rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of
Common Stock to provide for conversion of the Securities from time to time as such Securities are
presented for conversion.

     Section 9.05. Conversion After a Public Acquiror Change of Control.

     (a) In the event of a Public Acquiror Change of Control, the Company may, in lieu of
increasing the Conversion Rate by Additional Shares pursuant to Section 9.01, elect (subject to the
satisfaction of the provisions of this Section 9.05) to adjust the Conversion Rate and the related
Conversion Obligation such that from and after the Effective Date of such Public Acquiror Change of
Control, Holders will be entitled to convert their Securities, in accordance with Section 9.01
hereof, into a number of shares of Public Acquiror Common Stock by adjusting the Conversion Rate in
effect immediately before the Public Acquiror Change of Control by multiplying it by a fraction:

     (i) the numerator of which will be (A) in the case of a share exchange,
consolidation, merger or binding share exchange, pursuant to which the Common Stock is
converted into cash, securities or other property, the average value of all cash and any
other consideration (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in the manner
contemplated by Section 9.03(c)) paid or payable per share of Common Stock or (B) in the
case of any other Public Acquiror Change of Control, the average of the Last Reported Sale
Prices of the Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days prior to but excluding
the Effective Date of such Public Acquiror Change of Control; and

     (ii) the denominator of which will be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of
the Public Acquiror Common Stock for the five

87

 

consecutive Trading Days commencing on the
Trading Day next succeeding the Effective Date of such Public Acquiror Change of Control.

     (b) In order to make the election pursuant to this Section 9.05, the Company and the issuer of
the Public Acquiror Common Stock 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) providing that each Security shall be exchangeable into Public Acquiror Common Stock and
execute an amendment to the Registration Rights Agreement (to the extent any Registrable Securities
(as defined therein) remain outstanding) to make the provisions thereof to apply to the Public
Acquiror Common Stock. Such supplemental indenture shall provide for provisions and adjustments
which shall be a nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the provisions and adjustments provided
for in this Article 9.

     (c) The Company will provide notice to Holders of its election to adjust the Conversion Rate
pursuant to this Section 9.05 in the notice delivered with respect to the Make-Whole Fundamental
Change that constitutes a Public Acquiror Change of Control pursuant to Section 9.01(b)(iv).

     Section 9.06. Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.

     If any of the following events occur, namely (i) any reclassification or change of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par
value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a split, subdivision or combination),
(ii) any consolidation, merger or combination of the Company with another Person as a result of
which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive cash, securities or other property or
assets with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, or (iii) any sale or conveyance of all
or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company to any other Person, in each case as
a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive cash, securities or other
property or assets with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock (any such event a “Merger
Event”), then:

     (a) 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) permitted under Section 15.01 providing for the conversion and
settlement of the Securities as set forth in this Indenture. Such supplemental indenture shall
provide for Conversion Rate adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable
to the adjustments provided for in this Article 9. If, in the case of any Merger Event, the
Reference Property includes shares of stock or other securities and assets of a corporation other
than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such reclassification, change,

88

 

consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, then such supplemental indenture shall also
be executed by such other corporation and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the
interests of the Holders as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of
the foregoing, including to the extent required by the Board of Directors and practicable the
provisions providing for the repurchase rights set forth in Article 8 herein.

     In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 9.06,
the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the
reasons therefore, the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or asset that will
constitute the Reference Property after any such Merger Event, any adjustment to be made with
respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and shall promptly mail
notice thereof to all Securityholders.

     (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.02(a), and subject to the provisions of
Section 9.01, at the effective time of such Merger Event, the right to convert each $1,000
principal amount of Securities will be changed to a right to convert such Security into the kind
and amount of shares of cash, securities or other property or assets that a holder of a number of
shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such transaction would
have owned or been entitled to receive (the “Reference Property”). In such a case, any increase in
the Conversion Rate by Additional Shares as set forth in Section 9.01 shall not be payable in
shares of Common Stock, but shall represent a right to receive the aggregate amount of Reference
Property into which the Additional Shares would convert in the transaction from the surviving
entity (or an indirect or direct parent thereof). For purposes of determining the constitution of
Reference Property, the type and amount of consideration that a holder of Common Stock would have
been entitled to in the case of reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales or conveyance of
assets or other transactions that cause the Common Stock to be converted into the right to receive
more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder
election) will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration
received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election. The Company
shall not become a party to any such transaction unless its terms are consistent with the
preceding. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a Holder of Securities to
convert its Securities into Common Stock or cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, as set forth
in Section 9.01 and Section 9.02 prior to the effective date.

     (c) The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be
mailed to each Securityholder, at his address appearing on the Security Register provided for in
this Indenture, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not
affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.

89

 

     (d) The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Merger Events.

     (e) In the event that the Company elects to adjust the Conversion Rate and Conversion
Obligation as set forth in Section 9.05, the provisions of that Section shall apply rather than the
provisions set forth in this Section 9.06.

     Section 9.07. Certain Covenants.

     (a) Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Rate
below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Securities, 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 Common Stock at
such adjusted Conversion Rate.

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

     (b) The Company covenants that, if any shares of Common Stock to be provided for the purpose
of conversion of Securities 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.

     (c) The Company further covenants that if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on any
other national securities exchange or automated quotation system the Company will, if permitted and
required by the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system, list and keep listed, so long
as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, all Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities.

     Section 9.08. Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall
not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Securityholder to determine the
Conversion Rate or whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Rate,
or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with
respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed,
in making the same. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with
respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any
securities or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any
Security; and

90

 

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 Common Stock or stock certificates or other
securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Security for the purpose of conversion or
to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this
Article. 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 9.06 relating either to the kind or
amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Securityholders
upon the conversion of their Securities after any event referred to in such Section 9.06 or to any
adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 12.01, 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 9.09. Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions. In case:

     (a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common
Stock that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 9.03; or

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

     (c) of any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company (other than a
subdivision or combination of its outstanding 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 mailed to each Securityholder at his
address appearing on the Security Register, provided for in Section 3.05 of this Indenture, as
promptly as possible but in any event at least twenty days prior to the applicable date hereinafter
specified, 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

91

 

which the holders of 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 Common Stock of record shall be entitled to
exchange their 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 9.10. Stockholder Rights Plans. Each share of Common Stock issued upon conversion of
Securities pursuant to this Article 9 shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of
rights, if any, and the certificates representing the Common Stock issued upon such conversion
shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any stockholder
rights plan adopted by the Company, as the same may be amended from time to time. If at the time
of conversion, however, the rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance
with the provisions of the applicable stockholder rights agreement so that the Holders of the
Securities would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Securities, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if
the Company has distributed to all holders of Common Stock, shares of Capital Stock of the Company,
evidence of indebtedness or assets as provided in Section 9.03(c), subject to readjustment in the
event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

     Section 9.11. Alternate Conversion Arrangement. In connection with any conversion of
Securities, the Company may arrange for such conversion by an agreement with one or more financial
institutions or other purchasers to exchange such Securities for shares of the Company’s Common
Stock, cash, or a combination of cash and Common Stock, as applicable, equal to which the Holder of
such Securities is entitled to receive upon conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Article 9, the obligation of the Company to convert such Securities shall be
deemed to be satisfied and discharged to the extent such amount is so paid by such purchasers, and
accrued and unpaid Interest to, but not including, the Conversion Date for such conversion shall be
deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited.

ARTICLE 10

Events of Default; Remedies

     Section 10.01. Events of Default. “Event of Default,” wherever used herein, means any one of
the following events (whatever the reason for such

92

 

Event of Default and whether it shall be
voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or
order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

     (a) default in the payment of Interest on any Securities when due and payable and such default
continues for a period of 30 days; provided, that a extension of the payment period for Interest in
accordance with Article 4 shall not constitute an Event of Default under this Section 10.01(a);

     (b) default in the payment of the Principal Amount, Redemption Price or Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price on any Security when it becomes due and payable;

     (c) default in the Company’s obligation to convert the Securities into shares of its Common
Stock or a cash, as applicable, upon exercise of a Holder’s conversion rights in accordance with
Article 9 hereof and such default continues for a period of 10 days;

     (d) failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under Article 11 hereof;

     (e) failure by the Company to issue a Fundamental Change Company Notice when due;

     (f) default in the performance of any covenant, agreement or condition of the Company in this
Indenture or the Securities (other than a default specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above), and
such default continues for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or
certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of
at least 25% in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities a written notice
specifying such default and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice
of Default” hereunder;

     (g) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (i) a decree or order for
relief in respect of the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or
state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (ii) a decree or order
adjudging the Company as bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company under any
applicable federal or state law or (iii) appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee,
trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its
property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such
decree or order for relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of
60 consecutive days; or

93

 

     (h) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable
federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case
or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry of a
decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any
applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the
commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it of
a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or
state law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking
possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar
official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay
its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Company in
furtherance of any such action.

     Section 10.02. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. (a) If an Event of
Default (other than those specified in Sections 10.01(g) and 10.01(h)) occurs and is continuing,
then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Principal
Amount of the Outstanding Securities may declare the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid
Interest on all the Outstanding Securities to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in
writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such
Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid Interest shall become immediately due and payable.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default specified in Section
10.01(g) or Section 10.01(h)), the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid Interest on all
Outstanding Securities will ipso facto become due and payable without any declaration or other act
on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

     (b) At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment
or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this
Article 10 provided, the Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding
Securities, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such
declaration and its consequences if:

     (i) such rescission and annulment will not conflict with any judgment or decree of a
court of competent jurisdiction; and

     (ii) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the Principal Amount plus
accrued and unpaid Interest on Securities that have

94

 

     become due solely by such declaration
of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 10.12.

     No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

     Section 10.03. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. The Company
covenants that if a Default is made in the payment of the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid
Interest at the Maturity thereof or in the payment of the Redemption Price or the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Price in respect of any Security, the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee,
pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable
on such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover
the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

     If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated
to, pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of the Principal Amount plus accrued but
unpaid Interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities
or this Indenture. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if the Trustee does not possess any
of the Securities or does not produce any of the Securities in the proceeding. A delay or omission
by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default
shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of, or acquiescence in, the Event of
Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.

     Section 10.04. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of any judicial proceeding relative
to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its property or its creditors, the
Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take
any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders
and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to
collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to
distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make
such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any
other amounts due the Trustee under Section 12.07.

     No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to
authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

     Section 10.05. Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant
to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee
and, in case of the distribution of such money to Holders, upon presentation of the Securities and
the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully
paid:

     FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 12.07; and

     SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid on the Securities for the
Principal Amount, Redemption Price, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Interest, as
the case may be, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been
collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts
due and payable on such Securities.

     Section 10.06. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Security shall have any right to
institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder (other than in the case of
an Event of Default specified in Section 10.01(a) or 10.01(b)), unless:

     (i) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing
Event of Default;

     (ii) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Principal Amount of the
Outstanding Securities shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute
proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

     (iii) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in
compliance with such request;

     (iv) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of
security or indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and

96

 

     (v) no direction, in the opinion of the Trustee, inconsistent with such written
request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a
majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities;

it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner
whatever by virtue of, or by availing itself of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb
or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or
preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the
manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders.

     Section 10.07. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of the Principal Amount,
Redemption Price, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Interest in respect of the Securities held
by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Securities or any Redemption
Date or Fundamental Change Purchase Date, as applicable, and to convert the Securities in
accordance with Article 9, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after
such respective dates or the right to convert, shall not be impaired or affected adversely without
the consent of such Holder.

     Section 10.08. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has
instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding
has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee
or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding,
the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their
former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders
shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

     Section 10.09. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to
the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph
of Section 3.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the
Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall,
to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given
hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or
employment of any right or remedy hereunder shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

97

 

     Section 10.10. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any
Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall
impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an
acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to
the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the
Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

     Section 10.11. Control by Holders. The Holders of a majority in Principal Amount of the
Outstanding Securities shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on
the Trustee, provided that:

     (i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this
Indenture; and

     (ii) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not
inconsistent with such direction.

     Section 10.12. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less than a majority in Principal
Amount of the Outstanding Securities may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities waive any
past Default hereunder and its consequences, except a Default:

     (i) Described in Section 10.01(a) or (b); or

     (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 15 cannot be
modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security
affected.

     Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

     Section 10.13. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy
under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as
Trustee, in either case in respect of the Securities, a court may require any party litigant in
such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court may assess reasonable
costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, against any party litigant in the suit having due
regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant; but the
provisions of this Section 10.13 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Company, to any suit
instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any

98

 

Holder, or group of Holders, holding in
the aggregate more than 10% in Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities, or to any suit
instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the Principal Amount on any Security
on or after Maturity of such Security, the Redemption Price or the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Price.

     Section 10.14. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that
it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner
whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, or extension law wherever enacted,
now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this
Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all
benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the
execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of
every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

ARTICLE 11

Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such
conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise
every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such
successor Person had been named as the Company herein, and thereafter, except in the case of a
lease of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets, the predecessor Person
shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities.

ARTICLE 12

The Trustee

     Section 12.01. Certain Duties and Responsibilities. The duties and responsibilities of the

incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise
of any of its rights or powers. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of

Change Repurchase Price), the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice
if and so long as a Responsible Officer of the Trustee in good faith determines that the
withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of Securities.

     Section 12.03. Certain Rights Of Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.01:

     (a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from
acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or
document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or

against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such
request or direction;

consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document,
but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts
or matters as it may see fit; and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or
investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and

101

 

premises of the Company,
personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or
additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation;

     (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties
hereunder either directly or by or through agents, attorneys or custodians and the Trustee shall
not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent, attorney or custodian
appointed with due care by it hereunder;

     (h) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge or required to take notice of any Default
or Event of Default with respect to the Securities unless either (i) a Responsible Officer shall

Event of Default shall have been given to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee by the Company or
any other obligor on such Securities or by any Holder of such Securities;

director, officer, employee and other Person employed to act hereunder;

     (k) the Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth
the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified
actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any person
authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any
such certificate previously delivered and not superseded;

     (l) the permissive rights of the Trustee to take certain actions under or perform any
discretionary act enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty unless so specified
herein, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct
in the performance of such action or act; and

     (m) the Trustee shall not be liable in its individual capacity with respect to any action
taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with this Indenture or at
the direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding
Securities relating to the time,

102

 

method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trustee, or exercising or omitting to exercise any trust or power conferred upon
the Trustee, under this Indenture.

     Section 12.04. Not Responsible for Recitals. The recitals contained herein and in the
Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements
of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes
no representations as to the validity, sufficiency or priority of this Indenture or of the
Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of
Securities or the proceeds thereof. Except with respect to the authentication of Securities
pursuant to Section 3.03, the Trustee shall not be responsible for the legality or the validity of
this Indenture or the Securities issued or intended to be issued hereunder.

     Section 12.05. May Hold Securities. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or
any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or
pledgee of Securities and, subject to Section 12.08 and 12.13, may otherwise deal with the Company
with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such
other agent.

     Section 12.06. Money Held in Trust. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no
liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing
with the Company.

     Section 12.07. Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company agrees:

     (i) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for all services
rendered by it hereunder as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree in
writing (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the
compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

     (ii) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its
request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the
Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable
compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any
such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or willful
misconduct; and

     (iii) to indemnify the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee for, and to hold it
harmless against, any loss, liability or expense including

103

 

taxes (other than taxes based
upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee) incurred without negligence
or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of this trust, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending
itself against any claim (whether assessed by the Company, by any Holder or any other
Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers
or duties hereunder.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, in no event shall the
Trustee be liable for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever
(including, but not limited to, lost profits) even if the Trustee has been advised of the
likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

     The obligations of the Company under this Section 12.07 shall survive the resignation or
removal of the Trustee and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. To secure the
Company’s payment obligations in this Section 12.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the
Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to
pay principal on the Securities. Such lien shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee
and the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders
services after a Default or an Event of Default specified in Sections 10.01(g) or 10.01(h) hereof
occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its
agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under U.S. Code, Title 11
or any other similar foreign, federal or state law for the relief of debtors.

     Section 12.08. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. If the Trustee has or shall acquire
a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either
eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the
provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture.

     Section 12.09. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be a
Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to
act as such and has, or whose parent banking company has, a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50,000,000. If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to
law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of
this Section 12.09, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If
at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 12.09, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified
in this Article.

104

 

     Section 12.10. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. (a) No resignation or
removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article 12 shall
become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 12.11.

     (b) The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If an
instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within
30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction at the expense of the Company for the appointment of a successor
Trustee.

     (c) The Trustee may be removed at any time by Act of the Holders of majority in Principal
Amount of the Outstanding Securities, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. If an
instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within
30 days after the notice of removal, the Trustee being removed may petition, at the expense of the
Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities.

     (d) If at any time:

     (i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 12.08 after written request
therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for
at least six months, or

     (ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 12.09 and shall fail to
resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or

     (iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or
insolvent, or

     (iv) a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the
purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in any such case, (A) the Company by a Company Order may remove the Trustee, or (B) subject
to Section 10.13, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months
may, on behalf of such Holder and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

     (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy
shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the

105

 

Company, by a Company Order, shall promptly
appoint a successor Trustee. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability,
or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of
a majority in Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities delivered to the Company and the
retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such
appointment, become the successor Trustee and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the
Company. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and
accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder
of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

     (f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each
appointment of a successor Trustee to all Holders in the manner provided in Section 1.06. Each
notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust
Office.

     Section 12.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor. Every successor Trustee appointed
hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring
Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
Trustee; but, on request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon
payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee
all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and
deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.
Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for
more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights,
powers and trusts.

     No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such
successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article 12.

     Section 12.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any Person into
which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any
corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a
party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of
the Trustee by sale or otherwise, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such
corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article 12, without the execution
or filing of any paper or any further act on the

106

 

part of any of the parties hereto. In case any
Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any
successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such
authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such
successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

     Section 12.13. Preferential Collection of Claims against the Company. If and when the
Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities),
the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection
of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor).

ARTICLE 13

     Section 13.01. Company to Furnish Trustee Names and Addresses of Holders. The Company will
furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee:

     (i) semi-annually, not more than 15 days after each Record Date, a list, in such form
as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders as of

     (ii) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after
the receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a

excluding from any such list names and addresses received by the Trustee in its capacity as
Security Registrar; provided, however, that no such list need be furnished so long as the Trustee
is acting as Security Registrar.

     Section 13.02. Preservation of Information; Communications to Holders. (a) The Trustee
shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of
Holders contained in the most recent list furnished to the Trustee as provided in Section 13.01 and
the names and addresses of Holders received by the Trustee in its capacity as Security Registrar.
The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 13.01 upon receipt of a new

     (c) Every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and
the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of either of them shall be held
accountable by reason of any disclosure of information as to names and addresses of Holders made
pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act.

     Section 13.03. Reports By Trustee. (a) The Trustee shall transmit to Holders such reports

to be transmitted at stated intervals of not more than 12 months shall be transmitted no later than
July 15 in each calendar year, commencing in July 15, 2006. Each such report shall be dated as of
a date not more than 60 days prior to the date of transmission.

     (b) A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such transmission to Holders, be filed by
the Trustee with each stock exchange, if any, upon which the Securities are listed, with the
Commission and with the Company. The Company will notify the Trustee when the Securities are
listed on any stock exchange or of any delisting thereof.

     Section 13.04. Reports by Company.

     (a) After this Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, the Company shall
file with the Trustee and the Commission, and transmit to Securityholders, such information,
documents and other reports and such summaries thereof, as may be required pursuant to the Trust
Indenture Act at the times and in the manner provided pursuant to such Act; provided that any such
information, documents or reports filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act shall be filed with the Trustee within 15 days after the same is filed with the
Commission.

     (b) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational
purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any
information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the
Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to
conclusively rely exclusively on an Officer’s Certificate). It is expressly understood that
materials transmitted electronically by the Company to the Trustee shall be deemed filed with the
Trustee for purposes of this Section 13.04.

108

further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities herein expressly provided for), and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the

with the Trustee in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter
repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust as provided in Section 6.04) have been
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

     (ii) all such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation

the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose an amount sufficient to pay and
discharge the entire indebtedness evidenced by such Securities not theretofore delivered
to the Trustee for cancellation;

     (b) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company;

     Section 14.02. Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph
of Section 6.04, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 14.01 shall be held in
trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to
the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own
Paying

109

 

Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and
Interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee.

ARTICLE 15

from time to time, may enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in form satisfactory
to the Trustee, for any of the following purposes:

     (i) to cure any ambiguity or correct any inconsistent or otherwise defective
provision contained herein, so long as such action does not adversely affect the interest
of the Holders; provided that any such action made solely to conform the provisions of
this Indenture to the description thereof contained in the final offering memorandum dated
December 13, 2005, shall be deemed not to adversely affect the interests of the Holders;

     (ii) to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company and the assumption
by any such successor of the covenants of the Company herein and in the Securities;

     (iii) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of
certificated Securities; provided that the Company receives an opinion of nationally
recognized tax counsel that such uncertificated Securities are issued in registered form
for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated
Securities are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code;

     (iv) to add guarantees with respect to the Securities;

     (v) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge to the Trustee as security for
the Securities any property or assets;

     (vi) to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders, or to
surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company; or

     (vii) to add or modify any other provision herein with respect to matters or
questions arising hereunder which the Company and the Trustee

110

 

may deem necessary or
desirable and which does not materially and adversely affect the rights of any Holder;

     (viii) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of this Indenture to such extent
as shall be necessary to effect the qualifications of this Indenture under the Trust
Indenture Act, or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted.

      Section 15.02. Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Holders. With the consent of the
Holders of not less than a majority in Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities, by Act of
said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company, when authorized by a Board
Resolution, and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the
purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions
of this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders under this Indenture;
provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of
each Outstanding Security affected thereby,

     (i) reduce the percentage in Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities, the
consent of whose Holders is required for any supplemental indenture, or the consent of
whose Holders is required for any waiver under this Indenture (including any waiver of
past defaults pursuant to Section 10.12);

     (ii) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of any Interest on any Security;

     (iii) reduce the Principal Amount of, or extend the Stated Maturity of, any Security;

     (iv) make any change that impairs or adversely affects the conversion rights or
Conversion Rate of any Securities;

     (v) reduce the Redemption Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of any
Security or amend or modify in any manner adverse to the Holders of Securities the

provisions in the covenants, definitions or otherwise;

     (vi) make any Security payable in money other than that stated in the Security or
other than in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture;

     (vii) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of the Principal Amount of,
or Interest on, a Holder’s Securities on or after the

111

 

due dates therefor or to institute
suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Securities;

     (viii) modify the provisions of Article 5 relating to the subordination of the
Securities in a manner adverse to the Holders of Securities; or

     (ix) modify any of the provisions of this Section 15.02 or Section 10.12, except to
increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture
cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding
Security affected thereby.

      It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section 15.02 to approve the
particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act
shall approve the substance thereof.

      Section 15.03. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or accepting the
additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article 15 or the
modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to

the documents required by Section 1.02, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such
supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. Subject to the preceding
sentence, the Trustee shall sign such supplemental indenture if the same does not adversely affect
the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. The Trustee may,
but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that adversely affects
the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

      Section 15.04. Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental
indenture under this Article 15, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such

bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental

112
