2002 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE

AND

STOCK OPTION PLAN

	1.	 	Purpose of Plan.

This Plan shall be known as the “XATA 2002 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AND STOCK OPTION PLAN” and is
hereinafter referred to as the “Plan”. The purpose of the Plan is to aid in maintaining and
developing personnel capable of assuring the future success of XATA Corporation, a Minnesota
corporation (the “Company”), to offer such personnel additional incentives to put forth maximum
efforts for the success of the business, and to afford them an opportunity to acquire a proprietary
interest in the Company through stock options and other long-term incentive awards as provided
herein. Options granted under this Plan may be either incentive stock options (“Incentive Stock
Options”) within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), or
options which do not qualify as Incentive Stock Options. Awards granted under this Plan shall be
stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock or performance awards as hereinafter
described.

	2.	 	Stock Subject to Plan.

Subject to the provisions of Section 14 hereof, the stock to be subject to options or other awards
under the Plan shall be the Company’s authorized Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the
“Common Shares”). Such shares may be either authorized but unissued shares, or issued shares which
have been reacquired by the Company. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 14 hereof, the
maximum number of shares on which options may be exercised or other award issued under this Plan
shall be 1,250,000 shares. If an option or award under the Plan expires, or for any reason is
terminated or unexercised with respect to any shares, such shares shall again be available for
options or awards thereafter granted during the term of the Plan.

	3.	 	Administration of Plan.

     (a) Except as provided in Section 3(d) hereof, the Plan shall be administered by the Board of
Directors of the Company or a committee thereof. The members of any such committee shall be
appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. If no committee is appointed by
the Board, the committee shall be comprised of all of the members of the Board of Directors. (The
group administering the Plan shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Committee”.)

     (b) The Committee shall have plenary authority in its discretion, but subject to the express
provisions of the Plan: (i) to determine the purchase price of the Common Stock covered by each
option or award, (ii) to determine the employees to whom and the time or times at which such
options and awards shall be granted and the number of shares to be subject to each, (iii) to
determine the form of payment to be made upon the exercise of an SAR or in connection with
performance awards, either cash, Common Shares of the Company or a combination thereof, (iv) to
determine the terms of exercise of each option and award, (v) to accelerate the time at which all
or any part of an option or award may be exercised, (vi) to amend or modify the terms of any option
or award with the consent of the optionee, (vii) to interpret the Plan, (viii) to prescribe, amend
and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, (ix) to determine the terms and provisions
of each option and award agreement under the Plan (which agreements need not be identical),
including the designation of those options intended to be Incentive Stock Options, and (x) to make
all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of

 

 

the Plan, subject to the exclusive
authority of the Board of Directors under Section 15 herein to amend or terminate the Plan. The
Committee’s determinations on the foregoing matters, unless otherwise disapproved by the Board of
Directors of the Company, shall be final and conclusive.

     (c) The Committee may select one of its members as its Chairman and shall holds its meetings
at such times and places as it may determine. A majority of its members shall constitute a quorum.
All determinations of the Committee shall be made by not less than a majority of its members. Any
decision or determination reduces to writing and signed by all of the members of the Committee
shall be fully effective as if it had been made by a majority vote at a meeting duly called and
held. The grant of an option or award shall be effective only if a written agreement shall have
been duly executed and delivered by and on behalf of the Company following such grant. The
Committee may appoint a Secretary and may make such rules and regulations for the conduct of its
business as it shall deem advisable.

     (d) Section 19 of the Plan shall be administered by the President and the Chief Financial
Officer, whose construction and interpretation of the terms and provisions of such Sections shall
be final and conclusive; provided that the numbers of Common Shares subject to options granted to
Non-Employee Directors (defined below) under Section 19, the timing of the grants of such options
(except as provided in Section 19), the eligibility for such options, and the terms and conditions
of such options, shall be automatic and non-discretionary in accordance with the terms of such
Section.

	4.	 	Eligibility.

     Incentive Stock options may only be granted under this Plan to any full or part-time employee
(which term as used herein includes, but is not limited to, officers and directors who are also
employees) of the Company and of its present and future subsidiary corporations (herein called
“subsidiaries”). Full or part-time employees, non-employee members of the Board of Directors, and
non-employee consultants, agents or independent contractors to the Company or one of its
subsidiaries shall be eligible to receive options which do not qualify as Incentive Stock Options
and awards. For purposes of Section 19 hereof, “Non-Employee Director,” means any member of the
Board of Directors who is not at the time of option grant an employee of the Company. Non-Employee
Directors shall be eligible for discretionary grants and awards under the Plan in addition to
automatic option grants under Section 19. In determining the persons to whom options and awards
shall be granted and the number of shares subject to each, the Committee may take into account the
nature of services rendered by the respective employees or consultants, their present and potential
contributions to the success of the Company and such other factors as the Committee in its
discretion shall deem relevant. A person who has been granted an option or award under this Plan
may be granted additional options or awards under the Plan if the Committee shall so determine;
provided, however, that for Incentive Stock Options, to the extent the aggregate fair market value
(determined at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted) of the Common Shares with respect to
which all Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by an employee during any
calendar year (under all plans described in subsection (d) of Section 422 of the Code of his
employer corporation and its parent and subsidiary corporations) exceeds $100,000, such options
shall be treated as options which do not qualify as Incentive Stock Options. Nothing in the Plan
or in any agreement thereunder shall confer on any employee any right to continue in the employ of
the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affect, in any way, the right of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries to terminate his or her employment at the time.

2

 

	5.	 	Price.

     The option price for all Incentive Stock Options, for options which do not qualify as
Incentive Stock Options, and if applicable, the price for all awards granted under the Plan shall
be determined by the Committee, but shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the
Common Shares at the date of grant of such option or award. For purposes of the preceding sentence
and for all other valuation purposes under the Plan, the fair market value of the Common Shares
shall be as reasonably determined by the Committee. If on the date of grant of any option or award
hereunder the Common Shares are not traded on an established securities market, the Committee shall
make a good faith attempt to satisfy the requirements of this Section 5 and in connection therewith
shall take such action as it deems necessary or advisable.

	6.	 	Term.

     Each option and award and all rights and obligations thereunder shall expire on the date
determined by the Committee and specified in the option or award agreement. The Committee shall be
under no duty to provide terms of like duration for options or awards granted under the Plan, but
the term of an Incentive Stock Option may not extend more than ten (10) years from the date of
grant of such option and the term of options granted under the Plan which do not qualify as
Incentive Stock Options may not extend more than fifteen (15) years from the date of granting of
such option.

	7.	 	Exercise of Option or Award.

     (a) The Committee shall have full and complete authority to determine whether an option or
award will be exercisable in full at any time or from time to time during the term thereof, or to
provide for the exercise thereof in such installments, upon the occurrence of such events (such as
termination of employment for any reason) and at such times during the term of the option as the
Committee may determine and specify in the option or award agreement.

     (b) The exercise of any option or award granted hereunder shall only be effective at such time
that the sale of Common Shares pursuant to such exercise will not violate any state or federal
securities or other laws.

     (c) An optionee or grantee electing to exercise an option or award shall give written notice
to the Company of such election and of the number of shares subject to such exercise. The full
purchase price of such shares shall be tendered with such notice of exercise. Payment shall be
made to the Company in cash (including bank check, certified check, personal check, or money
order), or, at the discretion of the Committee and as specified by the Committee, (i) by delivering
certificates for the Company’s Common Shares already owned by the optionee or grantee having a fair
market value as of the date of grant equal to the full purchase price of the shares, (ii) by
delivering a combination of cash and such shares, or (iii) by delivering (including by fax) to the
Company or its designated agent an executed irrevocable option exercise form together with
irrevocable instructions to a broker-dealer to sell or margin the Common Shares and deliver the
sale or margin loan proceeds directly to the Company to the extent required to pay the option
exercise price.

     (d) The fair market value of the Common Shares which are tendered in payment of the exercise
price shall be determined as provided in Section 5 herein.

     (e) Until such person has been issued the shares subject to such exercise, he or she shall
possess no rights as a shareholder with respect to such shares.

3

 

	8.	 	Additional Restrictions.

     The Committee shall have full and complete authority to determine whether all or any part of
the Common Shares of the Company acquired upon exercise of any of the options or awards granted
under the Plan shall be subject to restrictions on the transferability thereof or any other
restrictions affecting in any manner the optionee’s or grantee’s rights with respect thereto, but
any such restriction shall be contained in the agreement relating to such options or awards.

	9.	 	Alternative Stock Appreciation Rights.

     (a) Grant. At the time of grant of an option or award under the Plan (or at any other
time), the Committee, in its discretion, may grant a Stock Appreciation Right (“SAR”) evidenced by
an agreement in such form as the Committee shall from time to time approve. Any such SAR may be
subject to restrictions on the exercise thereof as may be set forth in the agreement representing
such SAR which agreement shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions and
any additional terms and conditions established by the Committee that are consistent with the terms
of the Plan.

     (b) Exercise. An SAR shall be exercised by the delivery to the Company of a written
notice which shall state that the holder thereof elects to exercise his or her SAR as to the number
of shares specified in the notice and which shall further state what portion, if any, of the SAR
exercise amount (hereinafter defined) the holder thereof requests be paid to in cash and what
portion, if any, is to be paid in Common Shares of the Company. The Committee promptly shall cause
to be paid to such holder the SAR exercise amount either in cash, in Common Shares of the Company,
or any combination of cash and shares as the Committee may determine. Such determination may be
either in accordance with the request made by the holder of the SAR or in the sole and absolute
discretion of the Committee. The SAR exercise amount is the excess of the fair market value of one
share of the Company’s Common Shares on the date of exercise over the per share exercise price in
respect of which the SAR was granted, multiplied by the number of shares as to which the SAR is
exercised. For the purposes hereof, the fair market value of the Company’s shares shall be
determined as provided in Section 5 herein.

	10.	 	Ten Percent Shareholder Rule.

     Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, if at the time an option is granted pursuant
to the Plan the optionee owns directly or indirectly (within the meaning of Section 425(d) of the
Code) Common Shares of the Company possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined
voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or its parent or subsidiary corporations, if
any (within the meaning of Section 422(b)(6) of the Code), then any Incentive Stock Option to be
granted to such optionee pursuant to the Plan shall satisfy the requirements of Section 422(c)(6)
of the Code, and the option price shall be not less than 110% of the fair market value of the
Common Shares of the Company determined as described herein, and such option by its terms shall not
be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date such option is granted.

	11.	 	Non-Transferability.

     No Incentive Option granted under the Plan shall be transferable by an optionee, otherwise
than by will or the laws of descent or distribution. Except as otherwise provided in an option or
award agreement, during the lifetime of an optionee or grantee, the option shall be exercisable
only by such optionee or grantee.

4

 

	12.	 	Restricted Stock Awards.

Awards of Common Shares subject to forfeiture and transfer restrictions may be granted by the
Committee. Any restricted stock award shall be evidenced by an agreement in such form as the
Committee shall from time to time approve, which agreement shall comply with and be subject to the
following terms and conditions and any additional terms and conditions established by the Committee
that are consistent with the terms of the Plan:

     (a) Grant of Restricted Stock Awards. Each restricted stock award made under the Plan
shall be for such number of Common Share as shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in
the agreement containing the terms of such restricted stock award. Such agreement shall set forth
a period of time during which the grantee must remain in the continuous employment of the Company
in order for the forfeiture and transfer restrictions to lapse. If the Committee so determines,
the restrictions may lapse during such restricted period in installments with respect to specified
portions of the shares covered by the restricted stock award. The agreement may also, in the
discretion of the Committee, set forth performance or other conditions that will subject the Common
Shares to forfeiture and transfer restrictions. The Committee may, at its discretion, waive all or
any part of the restrictions applicable to any or all outstanding restricted stock awards.

     (b) Delivery of Common Shares and Restrictions. At the time of a restricted stock
award, a certificate representing the number of Common Shares awarded thereunder shall be
registered in the name of the grantee. Such certificate shall be held by the Company or any
custodian appointed by the Company for the account of the grantee subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan, and shall bear such a legend setting forth the restrictions imposed thereon
as the Committee, in its discretion, may determine. The grantee shall have all rights of a
shareholder with respect to the Common Shares, including the right to receive dividends and the
right to vote such shares, subject to the following restrictions: (i) the grantee shall not be
entitled to delivery of the stock certificate until the expiration of the restricted period and the
fulfillment of any other restrictive conditions set forth in the restricted stock agreement with
respect to such Common Shares; (ii) none of the Common Shares may be sold, assigned, transferred,
pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered or disposed of during such restricted period or until
after the fulfillment of any such other restrictive conditions; and (iii) except as otherwise
determined by the Committee, all of the Common Shares shall be forfeited and all rights of the
grantee to such Common Shares shall terminate, without further obligation on the part of the
Company, unless the grantee remains in the continuous employment of the Company for the entire
restricted period in relation to which such Common Shares were granted and unless any other
restrictive conditions relating to the restricted stock award are met. Any Common Shares, any
other securities of the Company and any other property (except for cash dividends) distributed with
respect to the Common Shares subject to restricted stock awards shall be subject to the same
restrictions, terms and conditions as such restricted Common Shares.

     (c) Termination of Restrictions. At the end of the restricted period and provided
that any other restrictive conditions of the restricted stock award are met, or at such earlier
time as otherwise determined by the Committee, all restrictions set forth in the agreement relating
to the restricted stock award or in the Plan shall lapse as to the restricted Common Shares subject thereto, and a stock
certificate for the appropriate number of Common Shares, free of the restrictions and the
restricted stock legend, shall be delivered to the grantee or his beneficiary or estate, as the
case may be.

	13.	 	Performance Awards.

     The Committee is further authorized to grant Performance awards. Subject to the terms of this
Plan and any applicable award agreement, a Performance award granted under the Plan (i) may be
denominated or payable in cash, Common Shares (including, without limitation, restricted stock),
other securities, other awards, or other property and (ii) shall confer on the holder thereof
rights valued as determined by the Committee, in its discretion, and payable to, or exercisable by,
the holder of the Performance awards, in whole or in part, upon the achievement of such performance
goals during such performance periods as the Committee, in its discretion, shall establish.
Subject to the terms of this Plan and any applicable award agreement, the performance goals to be
achieved during any performance period, the length of any performance period, the amount of any
Performance award granted, and the amount of any payment or transfer to be made by the granter and
by the Company under any Performance award shall be determined by the Committee.

	14.	 	Dilution or Other Adjustments.

     If there shall be any change in the Common Shares through merger, consolidation,
reorganization, recapitalization, dividend in the form of stock (of whatever amount), stock split
or other change in the corporate structure, appropriate adjustments in the Plan and outstanding
options and awards shall be made by the Committee. In the event of any such changes, adjustments
shall include, where appropriate, changes in the aggregate number of shares subject to the Plan,
the number of shares and the price per share subject to outstanding options and awards and the
amount payable upon exercise of outstanding awards, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of
option or award rights.

	15.	 	Amendment or Discontinuance of Plan.

     The Board of Directors may amend or discontinue at any time. Subject to the provisions of
Section 14 no amendment of the Plan, however, shall without shareholder approval: (i) increase the
maximum number of shares under the Plan as provided in Section 2 herein, (ii) decrease the minimum
price provided in Section 5 herein, (iii) extend the maximum term under Section 6, or (iv) modify
the eligibility requirements for participation in the Plan. The Board of Directors shall not alter
or impair any option or award theretofore granted under the Plan without the consent of the holder
of the option or award.

	16.	 	Time of Granting.

     Nothing contained in the Plan or in any resolution adopted or to be adopted by the Board of
Directors or by the shareholders of the Company, and no action taken by the Committee or the Board
of Directors (other than the execution and delivery of an option or award agreement), shall
constitute the granting of an option or award hereunder.

	17.	 	Income Tax Withholding and Tax Bonuses.

     (a) In order to comply with all applicable federal or state income tax laws or regulations,
the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to ensure that all applicable federal or
state payroll, withholding, income or other taxes, which are the sole and absolute responsibility
of an optionee or grantee under the Plan, are withheld or collected from such optionee or grantee.
In order to assist an optionee or grantee in paying all federal and state taxes to be withheld or
collected upon exercise of an option or award which does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option
hereunder, the Committee, in its absolute discretion and subject to such additional terms and
conditions as it may adopt, shall permit the optionee or grantee to satisfy such tax obligation by
(i) electing to have the Company withhold a portion of the shares otherwise to be delivered upon
exercise of such option or award with a fair market value,

6

 

determined in accordance with Section 5
herein, equal to such taxes or (ii) delivering to the Company Common Shares other than the shares
issuable upon exercise of such option or award with a fair market value, determined in accordance
with Section 5, equal to such taxes.

     (b) The Committee shall have the authority, at the time of grant of an option under the Plan
or at any time thereafter, to approve tax bonuses to designated optionee or grantees to be paid
upon their exercise of options or awards granted hereunder. The amount of any such payment shall
be determined by the Committee. The Committee shall have full authority in its absolute discretion
to determine the amount of any such tax bonus and the terms and conditions affecting the vesting
and payment thereafter.

	18.	 	Effective Date and Termination of Plan.

     (a) The Plan was approved by the Board of Directors effective December 7, 2001 and by the
shareholders of the Company on February 26, 2002.

     (b) Unless the Plan shall have been discontinued as provided in Section 15 hereof, the Plan
shall terminate February 26, 2012. No option or award may be granted after such termination, but
termination of the Plan shall not, without the consent of the optionee or grantee, alter or impair
any rights or obligations under any option or award theretofore granted.

	19.	 	Automatic Grant of Non-Employee Director Options.

     Pursuant to this Section 19, each Non-Employee Director elected or re-elected to the Board on
or after the date of the annual meeting of shareholders held in 2002 shall be granted automatically
an option to purchase 5,000 Common Shares on the next business day following the annual shareholder
meeting (as to each, a “Director Grant Date”) at which such director is elected or re-elected.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the scheduled Director Grant Date, the President determines,
in his discretion, that the Company is in possession of material, undisclosed information, then the
grant of options will be suspended until the third day after public dissemination of such
information. The President may only suspend the grant; the amount and other terms of the grant
will remain as set forth in the Plan, with the exercise price of the option to be determined in
accordance with the Plan on the date the option is finally granted.

     Each option granted under this Section to a Non-Employee Director shall be evidenced by an
agreement, in a form approved by the President. Such agreement shall contain the following terms
and conditions:

	 	a.	 	Term. Each option granted under Section 19 to a Non-Employee Director
shall have a term of ten years and shall be immediately exercisable as to all Common
Shares; provided, however that no shares of Common stock issued upon the
exercise of an option may be sold or otherwise disposed of until six months after the
Director Grant Date of the option.
	 
	 	b.	 	Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of options granted under
Section 19 shall be 100% of the fair market value of one Common Share on the Director
Grant Date. For these purposes, “fair market value” shall mean the average of the
reported high and low sale prices of the Common Shares, as reported on the Nasdaq
National Market or Nasdaq SmallCap Market on the Director Grant Date.

7

 

	 	c.	 	Compliance with SEC Regulations. It is the Company’s intent that the
provisions of Sections 19 and 19A comply in all respects with Section 16 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”) and any regulations promulgated
thereunder, including Rule 16b-3. If any provision of Section 19 is found not to be in
compliance with the Rule, the provision shall be deemed null and void. All grants and
exercises of options granted under Section 19 shall be executed in accordance with the
requirements of Section 16 of the 1934 Act, as amended, and any regulations promulgated
thereunder.
	 
	 	d.	 	Tax Status. All options granted pursuant to Section 19 shall be
nonqualified options which are not intended to be, and do not qualify as, incentive
stock options described in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.

that effective upon an Issuer’s discharge from all of its obligations under the Indenture and the

Securities shall automatically discharge such Issuer from its obligations under this Agreement.

          As an inducement to the Initial Purchasers to enter into the Purchase Agreement, the Issuers
have agreed to provide to the Initial Purchasers and their direct and indirect transferees the

          2.     Registration Under the Securities Act. (a) To the extent not prohibited by any
applicable law or applicable interpretations of the Staff, each Issuer agrees to (i) file with the
SEC within 90 calendar days after the Closing Date an Exchange Offer Registration Statement
covering an offer to the Holders to exchange all the Registrable Securities for Exchange Securities
and (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
to be declared effective under the Securities Act within 180 calendar days after the Closing Date.
Promptly after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has been declared effective, the Issuers
shall commence the Exchange Offer and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
Exchange Offer to be consummated within 210 calendar days of the Closing Date.

          The Issuers shall commence the Exchange Offer by mailing the related Prospectus, appropriate
letters of transmittal and other accompanying documents to each Holder stating, in addition to such
other disclosures as are required by applicable law, substantially the following:

	(i)	 	that the Exchange Offer is being made pursuant to this Agreement and that all Registrable
Securities validly tendered and not properly withdrawn will be accepted for exchange;

	(ii)	 	the dates of acceptance for exchange (which shall be a period of at least 30 Business Days
from the date such notice is mailed) (the “Exchange Dates”);

	(iii)	 	that any Registrable Security not tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue
interest but will not retain any rights under this Agreement;

	(iv)	 	that any Holder electing to have a Registrable Security exchanged pursuant to the Exchange
Offer will be required to surrender such Registrable Security, together with the appropriate
letters of transmittal, to the institution and at the address

5

 

	 	 	 (located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York) and in the manner specified in
the notice, prior to the close of business on the last Exchange Date; and

	(v)	 	that any Holder will be entitled to withdraw its election, not later than the close of
business on the last Exchange Date, by sending to the institution and at the address (located
in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York) specified in the notice, a telegram, telex,
facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder, the principal amount
of Registrable Securities delivered for exchange and a statement that such Holder is
withdrawing its election to have such Securities exchanged.

          As a condition to participating in the Exchange Offer, a Holder will be required to represent
to the Issuers that (i) it is not an affiliate of the Issuers or if it is such an affiliate, such
Holder will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act
to the extent applicable, (ii) the Securities to be exchanged for Exchange Securities in the
Exchange Offer were acquired in the ordinary course of its business, and (iii) at the time of the
Exchange Offer, it has no arrangement with any person to participate in the distribution (within
the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Securities or the Exchange Securities. In addition, in
connection with any resale of Exchange Securities, any broker-dealer who acquired the Exchange
Securities for its own account as a result of market-making or other trading activities (a
“Participating Broker-Dealer”) must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities
Act. The SEC has taken the position that Participating Broker-Dealers may fulfill their prospectus
delivery requirements with respect to the Exchange Securities, other than a resale of an unsold
allotment, from the original sale thereof, with the prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement. The Issuers shall allow Participating Broker-Dealers and other persons, if
any, subject to similar prospectus delivery requirements to use the prospectus contained in the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement in connection with the resale of such Exchange Securities for
a period of 180 calendar days from the date the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared
effective and it will make such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto available to any
broker-dealer for use in connection with any resale of any Exchange Securities for a period of not
less than 90 calendar days after the consummation of the Exchange Offer.

          As soon as practicable after the last Exchange Date, the Issuers shall:

	(i)	 	accept for exchange Registrable Securities or portions thereof validly tendered and not
properly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer; and

	(ii)	 	deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation all Registrable Securities
or portions thereof so accepted for exchange by the Issuers and issue, and cause the Trustee
to promptly authenticate and deliver to each Holder, Exchange Securities equal in principal
amount to the principal amount of the Registrable Securities surrendered by such Holder.

6

 

          The Issuers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Exchange Offer as
provided above and shall comply with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act and other applicable laws and regulations in connection with the Exchange Offer. The
Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than that the Exchange Offer does not
violate any applicable law or applicable interpretations of the Staff.

          (b)     If: (i) because of any change in law or in currently prevailing interpretations of the
Staff, the Issuers are not permitted to effect the Exchange Offer, (ii) the Exchange Offer is not
consummated within 210 calendar days of the Closing Date, (iii) in the case of any Holder that
participates in the Exchange Offer, such Holder does not receive Exchange Securities on the date of
the exchange that may be sold without restriction under state and federal securities laws (other
than due solely to the status of such Holder as an affiliate of the Issuers within the meaning of
the Securities Act or as a broker-dealer), (iv) requested by any of the Initial Purchasers within
90 days after the consummation of the Exchange Offer with respect to Securities acquired by them
directly from the Issuers or Securities with transfer restrictions issued in exchange for
Securities and not eligible to be exchanged for Exchange Securities and held by them following the
consummation of the Exchange Offer or (v) the Issuers so elect, then in each case the Issuers will
(1) promptly deliver to the Holders written notice thereof and (2) at their sole expense, (a) use
their commercially reasonable efforts to file, as promptly as practicable (but in no event more
than 45 days after so required or requested pursuant to the Agreement), a Shelf Registration
Statement, (b) use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement
to be declared effective under the Securities Act and (c) use their commercially reasonable efforts
to keep effective the Shelf Registration Statement until the earlier of two years (or, if Rule
144(k) is amended to provide a shorter restrictive period, such shorter period) after the Closing
Date or such time as all of the applicable Securities have been sold thereunder (the “Shelf
Effectiveness Period”). The Issuers will, if a Shelf Registration Statement is filed, provide to
each Holder copies of the prospectus that is a part of the Shelf Registration Statement, notify
each such Holder when the Shelf Registration Statement for the Securities has become effective and
take certain other actions as are required to permit unrestricted resales of the Securities. A
Holder that sells Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement will be required to be
named as a selling security holder in the related prospectus, to provide information related
thereto and to deliver such prospectus to purchasers, will be subject to certain of the civil
liability provisions under the Securities Act in connection with such sales and will be bound by
the provisions of the Agreement that are applicable to such a Holder (including certain
indemnification rights and obligations). The Issuers will not have any obligation to include in the
Shelf Registration Statement Holders who do not deliver such information to it.

          (c)     The Issuers shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration
pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) hereof. Each Holder shall pay all brokerage commissions
and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder’s Registrable
Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement.

7

 

          (d)     An Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or a Shelf
Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof will not be deemed to have become effective
unless it has been declared effective by the SEC.

          If: (i) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not filed with the SEC on or prior to
the 90th calendar day following the Closing Date, (ii) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is
not declared effective on or prior to the 180th calendar day following the Closing Date, or (iii)
the Exchange Offer is not consummated or the Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective
on or prior to the 210th calendar day following the Closing Date, the Special Interest Premium will
accrue in respect of the 2009 Notes, 2011 Notes or 2016 Notes, as the case may be, from and
including the next calendar day following each of (a) such 90-day period in the case of clause (i)
above, (b) such 180-day period in the case of clause (ii) above, and (c) such 210-day period in the
case of clause (iii) above, in each case at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum. If the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to the 210th calendar day following
the Closing Date and the Issuers request Holders of the 2009 Notes, 2011 Notes or 2016 Notes, as
the case may be, to provide the information called for herein for inclusion in the Shelf
Registration Statement, the Securities owned by Holders who do not deliver such information to the
Issuers when required pursuant to the Agreement will not be entitled to any such increase in the
interest rate for any day after the 210th day following the Closing Date. Upon (1) the filing of an
Exchange Offer Registration Statement after the 90-day period described in clause (i) above, (2)
the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement after the 180-day period described
in clause (ii) above, or (3) the consummation of the Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of a Shelf
Registration Statement, as the case may be, after the 210-day period described in clause (iii)
above, the interest rate on the Securities from the day of such filing, effectiveness or
consummation, as the case may be, will be reduced to the original interest rate for the relevant
series of Securities.

          If a Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective pursuant to the foregoing paragraphs,
and if the Issuers fail to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously (x) effective or (y)
useable for resales for the period required by the Agreement due to certain circumstances relating
to pending corporate developments, public filings with the SEC and similar events, or because the
prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading,
and such failure continues for more than 60 days (whether or not consecutive) in any twelve-month
period (the 61st day being referred to as the “Default Day”), then from the Default Day until the
earlier of (i) the date that the Shelf Registration Statement is again deemed effective or is
usable, (ii) the date that is the second anniversary of the Closing Date (or, if Rule 144(k) is
amended to provide a shorter restrictive period, such shorter period), or (iii) the date as of
which all of the Securities are sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, a special
interest premium (the “Special Interest Premium”) in respect of the Securities will accrue at a
rate equal to 0.25% per annum.

          If the Issuers fail to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective or useable
for resales pursuant to the preceding paragraph, they will give the Holders

8

 

notice to suspend the sale of the Securities and will extend the relevant period referred to
above during which it is required to keep effective the Shelf Registration Statement (or the period
during which Participating Broker-Dealers are entitled to use the prospectus included in an
Exchange Offer Registration Statement in connection with the resale of Exchange Securities) by the
number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and
including the date when Holders will have received copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus
necessary to permit resales of the Securities or to and including the date on which the Issuers
have given notice that the sale of the Securities may be resumed, as the case may be.

          (e)     Without limiting the remedies available to the Initial Purchasers and the Holders, the
Issuers acknowledge that any failure by the Issuers to comply with its obligations under Section
2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Initial Purchasers or
the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure
damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Initial
Purchasers or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the
Issuers’ obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof.

          3.     Registration Procedures. (a) In connection with their obligations pursuant to
Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof, the Issuers shall as expeditiously as possible:

          (i)     within 90 days after the Closing Date, prepare and file with the SEC a Registration
Statement on the appropriate form under the Securities Act, which form (x) shall be selected by the
Issuers, (y) shall, in the case of a Shelf Registration, be available for the sale of the
Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof and (z) shall comply as to form in all material
respects with the requirements of the applicable form and include all financial statements required
by the SEC to be filed therewith; and use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective for the applicable period in
accordance with Section 2 hereof;

          (ii)     prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to each
Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the
applicable period in accordance with Section 2 hereof and cause each Prospectus to be supplemented
by any required prospectus supplement and, as so supplemented, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424
under the Securities Act; and keep each Prospectus current during the period described in Section
4(3) of and Rule 174 under the Securities Act that is applicable to transactions by brokers or
dealers with respect to the Registrable Securities or Exchange Securities;

          (iii)     in the case of a Shelf Registration, furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities,
to counsel for the Initial Purchasers, to counsel for such Holders without charge, as many copies
of each Prospectus, including each preliminary Prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto,
in order to facilitate the sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities thereunder; and
the Issuers consent to the use of such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto in
accordance with applicable law

9

 

by each of the Holders of Registrable Securities in connection with the offering and sale of
the Registrable Securities covered by and in the manner described in such Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto in accordance with applicable law;

          (iv)     use their commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable
Securities under all applicable state securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any
Holder of Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement shall reasonably request in
writing by the time the applicable Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC;
cooperate with such Holders in connection with any filings required to be made with the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.; and do any and all other acts and things that may be
reasonably necessary or advisable to enable each Holder to complete the disposition in each such
jurisdiction of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder; provided that neither
Issuer shall be required to (1) qualify as a foreign corporation or other entity or as a dealer in
securities in any such jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to so qualify, (2)
file any general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction or (3) subject itself to
taxation in any such jurisdiction if it is not so subject;

          (v)     notify counsel for the Initial Purchasers and, in the case of a Shelf Registration and
also notify each Holder of Registrable Securities and counsel for such Holders promptly and, if
requested by any such Holder or counsel, confirm such advice in writing (1) when a Registration
Statement has become effective and when any post-effective amendment thereto has been filed and
becomes effective, (2) of any request by the SEC or any state securities authority for amendments
and supplements to a Registration Statement and Prospectus or for additional information after the
Registration Statement has become effective, (3) of the issuance by the SEC or any state securities
authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the
initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (4) if, between the effective date of a
Registration Statement and the closing of any sale of Registrable Securities covered thereby, or if
the Issuers receive any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the
Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such
purpose, (5) of the happening of any event during the period a Shelf Registration Statement is
effective that makes any statement made in such Registration Statement or the related Prospectus
untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes in such Registration
Statement or Prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading and (6) of any
determination by the Issuers that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be
appropriate;

          (vi)     use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order
suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement at the earliest possible moment and
provide immediate notice to each Holder of the withdrawal of any such order;

          (vii)     in the case of a Shelf Registration, furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities,
without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement

10

 

and any post-effective amendment thereto (without any documents incorporated therein by
reference or exhibits thereto, unless requested);

          (viii)     in the case of a Shelf Registration, cooperate with the Holders of Registrable
Securities to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing
Registrable Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends and enable such
Registrable Securities to be issued in such denominations and registered in such names (consistent
with the provisions of the Indenture) as such Holders may reasonably request at least one Business
Day prior to the closing of any sale of Registrable Securities;

          (ix)     in the case of a Shelf Registration, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by
Section 3(a)(v)(5) hereof, use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC
a supplement or post-effective amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement or the related
Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so
that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities, such Prospectus will not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading; and the Issuers shall notify the Holders of Registrable Securities to suspend use of
the Prospectus as promptly as practicable after the occurrence of such an event, and such Holders
hereby agree to suspend use of the Prospectus until the Issuers have amended or supplemented the
Prospectus to correct such misstatement or omission;

          (x)     obtain a CUSIP number for all Exchange Securities or Registrable Securities, as the case
may be, not later than the effective date of a Registration Statement;

          (xi)     cause the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act in connection with the
registration of the Exchange Securities or Registrable Securities, as the case may be; cooperate
with the Trustee and the Holders to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required for the
Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the Trust Indenture Act; and execute,
and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents as may
be required to effect such changes and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the
SEC to enable the Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner;

          (xii)     in the case of a Shelf Registration, make available for inspection by a representative
of the Holders of the Registrable Securities (an “Inspector”) and attorneys and accountants
designated by the Holders of Registrable Securities, at reasonable times and in a reasonable
manner, all pertinent financial and other records, documents and properties of the Issuers, and
cause the respective officers, directors and employees of the Issuers to supply all information
reasonably requested by any such Inspector, attorney or accountant in connection with a Shelf
Registration Statement; provided that if any such information is identified by the Issuers
as being confidential or proprietary, each Person receiving such information shall take such
actions as are reasonably necessary to protect

11

 

the confidentiality of such information to the extent such action is otherwise not
inconsistent with, an impairment of or in derogation of the rights and interests of any Inspector
or Holder);

          (xiii)     if reasonably requested by any Holder of Registrable Securities covered by a Shelf
Registration Statement, promptly include in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment
such information with respect to such Holder as such Holder reasonably requests to be included
therein and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective
amendment as soon as the Issuers have received notification of the matters to be so included in
such filing; and

          (b)     In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Issuers may require each Holder of
Registrable Securities to furnish to the Issuers such information regarding such Holder and the
proposed disposition by such Holder of such Registrable Securities as the Issuers may from time to
time reasonably request in writing.

          (c)     In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder of Registrable Securities
agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Issuers of the happening of any event of the kind
described in Section 3(a)(v)(3) or 3(a)(v)(5) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue
disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement until such
Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section
3(a)(ix) hereof and, if so directed by the Issuers, such Holder will deliver to the Issuers all
copies in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the
Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that is current at the time of receipt of such
notice.

          (d)     If the Issuers shall give any notice pursuant to Section 3(c) hereof to suspend the
disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement, the Issuers shall
extend the period during which such Shelf Registration Statement shall be maintained effective
pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from and including the date of
the giving of such notice to and including the date when the Holders of such Registrable Securities
shall have received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to resume such
dispositions.

          4.     Participation of Broker-Dealers in Exchange Offer. (a) The Staff has taken the
position that any broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account in the
Exchange Offer in exchange for Securities that were acquired by such Participating Broker-Dealer
may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and must deliver a
prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such
Exchange Securities.

          The Issuers understand that it is the Staff’s position that if the Prospectus contained in the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement includes a plan of distribution containing a statement to the
above effect and the means by which Participating Broker-Dealers may resell the Exchange
Securities, without naming the Participating Broker-

12

 

Dealers or specifying the amount of Exchange Securities owned by them, such Prospectus may be
delivered by Participating Broker-Dealers to satisfy their prospectus delivery obligation under the
Securities Act in connection with resales of Exchange Securities for their own accounts, so long as
the Prospectus otherwise meets the requirements of the Securities Act.

          (b)     In light of the above, and notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the
Issuers agree to amend or supplement the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement for a period of up to 180 days after the last Exchange Date (as such period may be
extended pursuant to Section 3(d) of this Agreement), if requested by the Initial Purchasers or by
one or more Participating Broker-Dealers, in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of any
Exchange Securities by Participating Broker-Dealers consistent with the positions of the Staff
recited in Section 4(a) above. The Issuers further agree that Participating Broker-Dealers shall
be authorized to deliver such Prospectus during such period in connection with the resales
contemplated by this Section 4.

          (c)     The Initial Purchasers shall have no liability to the Issuers or any Holder with respect
to any request that they may make pursuant to Section 4(b) above.

          5.     Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Issuers agree to indemnify and hold
harmless each Initial Purchaser and each Holder, their respective affiliates, directors and
officers and each Person, if any, who controls any Initial Purchaser or any Holder within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any
and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable legal
fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim
asserted, as such fees and expenses are incurred), that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or
any Prospectus or any 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, except insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged
untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating
to any Initial Purchaser or information relating to any Holder furnished to the Issuers in writing
through the Representatives or any selling Holder expressly for use therein.

          (b)     Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuers,
the Initial Purchasers and the other selling Holders, the directors of each Issuer, each officer of
an Issuer who signed the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls an Issuer,
any Initial Purchaser and any other selling Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in
paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise
out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission
made in reliance

13

 

upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Holder furnished to the Issuers in
writing by such Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement and any Prospectus.

          (c)     If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation),
claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any Person in respect of which indemnification
may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or (b) above, such Person (the “Indemnified Person”)
shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying
Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not
relieve it from any liability that it may have under this Section 5 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 Person
shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than
under this Section 5. If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified
Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall
retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified
Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 that the Indemnifying
Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related
to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the
right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense
of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have
mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time
to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person
shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different
from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any
such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the
Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate
due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the
Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same
jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to
any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be
reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm (x) for any Initial Purchaser, its
affiliates, directors and officers and any control Persons of such Initial Purchaser shall be
designated in writing by the Representatives, (y) for any Holder, its directors and officers and
any control Persons of such Holder shall be designated in writing by the Majority Holders and (z)
in all other cases shall be designated in writing by the Issuers. The Indemnifying Person shall
not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if
settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying
Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason
of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the
Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of
which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been

14

 

sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (A) includes an unconditional
release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such
Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding
and (B) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to
act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

          (d)     If the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) above is unavailable to an
Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities
referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying
such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuers from the
offering of the Securities and the Exchange Securities, on the one hand, and by the Holders from
receiving Securities or Exchange Securities registered under the Securities Act, on the other hand,
or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i)
but also the relative fault of the Issuers on the one hand and the Holders on the other in
connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the
Issuers on the one hand and the Holders on the other shall be determined by reference to, among
other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuers or by the
Holders and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission.

          (e)     The Issuers and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 5 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the
Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does
not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount
paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities
referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth
above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such
action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5, in no event shall a Holder be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the
Securities or Exchange Securities sold by such Holder exceeds the amount of any damages that such
Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was
not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

          (f)     The remedies provided for in this Section 5 are not exclusive and shall not limit any
rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

15

 

          (g)     The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 5 shall remain
operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii)
any investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers or any Holder or any Person
controlling any Initial Purchaser or any Holder, or by or on behalf of the Issuers or the officers
or directors of or any Person controlling any Issuer, (iii) acceptance of any of the Exchange
Securities and (iv) any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement.

          6.     General.

          (a)     No Inconsistent Agreements. The Issuers represent, warrant and agree that (i) the rights
granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the
rights granted to the holders of any other outstanding securities issued or guaranteed by the
Issuers under any other agreement and (ii) the Issuers have not entered into, or on or after the
date of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement that is inconsistent with the rights
granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the
provisions hereof.

          (b)     Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of
this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures
from the provisions hereof may not be given unless the Issuers have obtained the written consent of
Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Registrable
Securities affected by such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent;
provided that no amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent to any departure
from the provisions of Section 5 hereof shall be effective as against any Holder of Registrable
Securities unless consented to in writing by such Holder. Any amendments, modifications,
supplements, waivers or consents pursuant to this Section 6(b) shall be by a writing executed by
each of the parties hereto.

          (c)     Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall
be made in writing by hand-delivery, registered first-class mail, facsimile, telecopier, or any
courier guaranteeing overnight delivery (i) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by
such Holder to the Issuers by means of a notice given in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 6(c), which address initially is, with respect to the Initial Purchasers, the address set
forth in the Purchase Agreement; (ii) if to the Issuers, initially at each Issuer’s address set
forth in the Purchase Agreement and thereafter at such other address, notice of which is given in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c); and (iii) to such other persons at their
respective addresses as provided in the Purchase Agreement and thereafter at such other address,
notice of which is given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c). All such notices
and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if
personally delivered; five Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if
mailed; when confirmation is received, if faxed; and on the next Business Day if timely delivered
to an air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery.

16

 

Copies of all such notices, demands or other communications shall be concurrently delivered by
the Person giving the same to the Trustee, at the address specified in the Indenture.

          (d)     Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon
the successors, assigns and transferees of each of the parties, including, without limitation and
without the need for an express assignment, subsequent Holders; provided that nothing
herein shall be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of Registrable
Securities in violation of the terms of the Purchase Agreement or the Indenture. If any transferee
of any Holder shall acquire Registrable Securities in any manner, whether by operation of law or
otherwise, such Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all the terms of this Agreement,
and by taking and holding such Registrable Securities such Person shall be conclusively deemed to
have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and
such Person shall be entitled to receive the benefits hereof. The Initial Purchasers (in their
capacity as Initial Purchasers) shall have no liability or obligation to the Issuers with respect
to any failure by a Holder to comply with, or any breach by any Holder of, any of the obligations
of such Holder under this Agreement.

          (e)     Third Party Beneficiaries. Each Holder shall be a third party beneficiary to the
agreements made hereunder between the Issuers, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the
other hand, and shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent it deems
such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights or the rights of other Holders
hereunder.

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

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

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

          (j)     Miscellaneous. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties relating
to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all oral statements and prior writings with respect
thereto. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction contained in this Agreement is held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable or against public policy, the
remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions contained herein shall remain in
full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. The Issuers and
the Initial Purchasers shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, void or
unenforceable

17

 

provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to
that of the invalid, void or unenforceable provisions.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date first written
above.
