EXHIBIT 4.1

Exhibit 4.1

TOLL BROTHERS, INC. AMENDED AND RESTATED

STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS (2007)

AMENDED AND RESTATED AS OF SEPTEMBER 17, 2008

     1. Purpose. The Toll Brothers, Inc. Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan for
Non-Employee Directors (2007) (the “Plan”) is intended as an additional incentive to non-employee
members of the Board of Directors (“Non-employee Director”) to serve on the Board of Directors (the
“Board of Directors”) of Toll Brothers, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), or any
Affiliate (as defined below), and to devote themselves to the Company’s success by providing such
Non-employee Directors with an opportunity to acquire or increase their proprietary interest in the
Company (a) through receipt of rights (the “Options”) to acquire the Company’s Common Stock, par
value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), (b) through incentive stock awards involving the
transfer or issuance of Common Stock, which may be subject to conditions of forfeiture (the
“Awards”), (c) through “Stock Appreciation Rights” or “SARs” that represent the right of the
recipient to receive cash or stock of a value equal to the appreciation of the Company’s Common
Stock from the date of the grant of the SAR to the date the SAR is exercised and (d) through
Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) that represent the right of the recipient to receive the economic
equivalent to a grant of an Award, and may provide for cash payment to the recipient of an amount
equal to the value of an Award, or for the transfer to the recipient of a number of shares of
Common Stock either immediately following the date the RSU becomes vested or at such later date as
may be specified at the time the RSU is granted in the grant document. The terms Options, Awards,
SARs, RSUs, and Performance-Based Awards and RSUs are sometimes referred to herein as “Grants.” No
Option granted hereunder to a Non-Employee Director (an “Optionee”) shall be an incentive stock
option (“ISO”) within the meaning of Section 422(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”). All Options granted hereunder shall be non-qualified stock options
(“Non-Qualified Stock Options”).

     For purposes of the Plan, the term “Affiliate” shall mean a corporation which is a parent
corporation or a subsidiary corporation with respect to the Company within the meaning of Section
424(e) or (f) of the Code.

     2. Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors, without
participation by any member of the Board of Directors on any matter pertaining to him. However, the
Board of Directors may designate a committee or committees composed of two or more of its members
to operate and administer the Plan in its stead. Any such committee and the Board of Directors in
its administrative capacity with respect to the Plan is referred to herein as the “Committee.”

     The Committee shall hold meetings at such times and places as it may determine. Acts approved
at a meeting by a majority of the members of the Committee or acts approved in writing by the
unanimous consent of the members of the Committee shall be the valid acts of the Committee.

     The Committee shall, from time to time at its discretion, direct the Company to award Grants
pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. The Committee shall have plenary authority to determine the
recipients to whom and the times at which Grants shall be awarded, the number of Grants to be
awarded and the price and other terms and conditions thereof, subject, however, to the express
provisions of the Plan. In making such determinations, the Committee may take into account the
nature of the recipient’s services and responsibilities, the recipient’s present and potential
contribution to the Company’s success and such other factors as it may deem relevant. The
interpretation and construction by the Committee of any provision of the Plan or of any Grant
awarded under it shall be final, binding and conclusive.

     No member of the Board of Directors or the Committee shall be personally liable for any action
or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Grant awarded under it. No
member of the Committee shall be liable for any act or omission of any other member of the
Committee or for any act or omission on his own part, including but not limited to the exercise of
any power and discretion given to him under the Plan, except those resulting from (i) any breach of
such member’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in
good faith or involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) acts or
omissions that would result in liability under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the
State of Delaware, as amended, and (iv) any transaction from which the member derived an improper
personal benefit.

     In addition to such other rights of indemnification as he may have as a member of the Board of
Directors or the Committee, and with respect to administration of the Plan and Grants awarded under
it, each member of the Board of Directors and of the Committee shall be entitled without further
act on his part to indemnity from the Company

1

 

for all expenses (including the amount of any judgment and the amount of approved settlements
made with a view to the curtailment of costs of litigation, other than amounts paid to the Company
itself) reasonably incurred by him in connection with or arising out of any action, suit or
proceeding with respect to the administration of the Plan or Grants awarded under it in which he
may be involved by reason of his being or having been a member of the Board of Directors or the
Committee, whether or not he continues to be such member of the Board of Directors or the Committee
at the time of the incurring of such expenses; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not
include any expenses incurred by such member of the Board of Directors or the Committee: (i) in
respect of matters as to which he shall be finally adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding to
have been guilty of gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of his duties as a
member of the Board of Directors or the Committee; or (ii) in respect of any matter in which any
settlement is effected to an amount in excess of the amount approved by the Company on the advice
of its legal counsel; and provided further, that no right of indemnification under the provisions
set forth herein shall be available to or accessible by any such member of the Board of Directors
or the Committee unless within five days after institution of any such action, suit or proceeding
he shall have offered the Company in writing the opportunity to handle and defend such action, suit
or proceeding at its own expense. The foregoing right of indemnification shall inure to the benefit
of the heirs, executors or administrators of each such member of the Board of Directors or the
Committee and shall be in addition to all other rights to which such member of the Board of
Directors or the Committee would be entitled as a matter of law, contract or otherwise.

     3. Eligibility. All Non-employee Directors shall be eligible to receive Non-Qualified
Stock Options, Awards, SARs and RSUs hereunder. A Non-employee Director may receive more than one
Grant, but only on the terms and subject to the restrictions of the Plan.

     4. Shares Under the Plan. The total number of shares of Common Stock available for
issuance under the Plan shall be two million (2,000,000) shares, of which no more than one hundred
thousand (100,000) shares of Common Stock shall be available for granting Awards or RSUs under the
Plan. The foregoing amounts are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8. If any shares
subject to any Grant are forfeited or such Grant otherwise terminates without the issuance of such
shares, the shares subject to such Grant, to the extent of any such forfeiture or termination,
shall again be available for Grants under the Plan. Shares underlying Grants shall be issued from
authorized and unissued Common Stock or Common Stock held in or hereafter acquired for the treasury
of the Company. If any outstanding Option or SAR granted under the Plan expires, lapses or is
terminated for any reason, or if the shares of Common Stock that has been transferred pursuant to
an Award or RSU under the Plan are forfeited for any reason, the shares allocable to the
unexercised portion of such Option or SAR and the forfeited shares of Common Stock may again be the
subject of a Grant pursuant to the Plan.

     5. Term of Plan. The Plan was initially adopted by the Board of Directors on December
13, 2006 and was effective upon approval by the Company’s stockholders on March 14, 2007. No Grant
may be awarded under the Plan after December 13, 2016.

     6. Terms and Conditions of Options. Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be
evidenced by written documents (the “Option Documents”) in such form as the Committee shall from
time to time approve, which Option Documents shall comply with and be subject to the following
terms and conditions and such other terms and conditions which the Committee shall from time to
time require which are not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan. Each option granted pursuant to
the Plan shall be a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

     (a) Number of Option Shares. Each Option Document shall state the number of Option
Shares to which it pertains.

     (b) Option Price. Each Option Document shall state the price at which Option Shares
may be purchased (the “Option Price”), which shall be at least 100% of the fair market value of the
Common Stock on the date the Option is granted as determined by the Committee. If the Common Stock
is traded in a public market, listed on a national securities exchange or included in the NASDAQ
National Market System, then the fair market value per share shall be the last reported sale price
thereof on the relevant date, or, if the Common Stock is not so listed or included, the fair market
value shall be the mean between the last reported “bid” and “asked” prices thereof on the relevant
date, as reported on NASDAQ or, if not so reported, as reported by the National Daily Quotation
Bureau, Inc. or as reported in a customary financial reporting service, as applicable, and as the
Committee determines.

     (c) Medium of Payment. An Optionee shall pay for Option Shares:

          (i) in cash;

2

 

          (ii) by certified check payable to the order of the Company; or

          (iii) by such other mode of payment as the Committee may approve, including, but not limited
to, (x) payment through a broker in accordance with procedures permitted by Regulation T of the
Federal Reserve Board, or (y) a deemed payment by means of a net issuance of shares. If a net
issuance of shares is permitted under the terms of an Option Document, the exercise of the Option
shall be treated in the following manner: upon notice of exercise, the Optionee shall be deemed, as
of the date of exercise, to have received all of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option
(or such portion of such shares as corresponds to the portion of the Option being exercised), and
shall simultaneously be deemed to have delivered back to the Company that number of such shares as
have a fair market value (determined as of the date of exercise) equal to the Option Price required
to be paid on exercise of the Option (or portion being exercised) and any additional amounts
required to be paid by the Optionee in connection with the exercise of the Option. The intent of
this provision is to permit the Optionee to pay the Option Price and other required amounts by
relinquishing back to the Company shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable pursuant to the
exercise of the Option, so that the Optionee will be entitled to receive only a net issuance of
shares of Common Stock having a value equal to the economic benefit of exercising the Option (or
portion of the Option being exercised).

The Committee may provide in an Option Document that payment may be made in whole or in part in
shares of the Common Stock held by the Optionee for more than one year. If payment is made in
whole or in part in shares of the Common Stock, then the Optionee shall deliver to the Company
certificates registered in the name of such Optionee representing shares of Common Stock legally
and beneficially owned by such Optionee, free of all liens, claims and encumbrances of every kind
and having a fair market value on the date of delivery of such notice that is not greater than the
Option Price of the Option Shares with respect to which such Option is to be exercised, accompanied
by stock powers duly endorsed in blank by the record holder of the shares represented by such
certificates. In the event that certificates for shares of the Company’s common stock delivered to
the Company represent a number of shares less than the number of shares required to make payment
for the Option Price of the Option Shares (or relevant portion thereof) with respect to which such
Option is to be exercised by payment in shares of Common Stock, the Optionee shall deliver the
remainder of the Option Price to the Company by some other form of payment permitted herein. In
the event that certificates for shares of the Company’s Common Stock delivered to the Company
represent a number of shares in excess of the number of shares required to make payment for the
Option Price of the Option Shares (or relevant portion thereof) with respect to which such Option
is to be exercised by payment in shares of Common Stock, the stock certificate issued to the
Optionee shall represent the Option Shares in respect of which payment is made, and such excess
number of shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may refuse
to accept shares of Common Stock in payment of the Option Price. In that event, any certificates
representing shares of Common Stock which were delivered to the Company shall be returned to the
Optionee with notice of the refusal of the Committee to accept such shares in payment of the Option
Price. The Committee may impose such limitations and prohibitions on the use of shares of the
Common Stock to exercise an Option as it deems appropriate, subject to the provisions of the Plan.

     (d) Termination of Options. No Option shall be exercisable after the first to occur of
the following:

          (i) Expiration of the Option term specified in the Option Document. With respect to any
Option, the Option term shall not exceed ten years from the date of grant;

          (ii) Expiration of three months (or such shorter period as the Committee may select) from the
date the Optionee’s service on the Board of Directors of the Company or its Affiliates terminates
for any reason other than: (a) disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) or
death or (b) circumstances described by paragraph (d)(vi), below;

          (iii) Expiration of one year from the date the Optionee’s service on the Board of Directors of
the Company or its Affiliates terminates by reason of the Optionee’s disability (within the meaning
of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) or death;

          (iv) The date, if any, set by the Committee as an accelerated expiration date in the event of
a “Change of Control” (as defined in Subsection 6(e) below) provided an Optionee who holds an
Option is given written notice at least 30 days before the date so fixed; or

          (v) The date set by the Committee to be an accelerated expiration date after a finding by the
Committee that a change in the financial accounting treatment for Options from that in effect on
the date the Plan was adopted adversely affects or, in the determination of the Committee, may
adversely affect in the foreseeable future, the Company, provided the Committee may take whatever
other action, including acceleration of any exercise provisions, it deems necessary should it make
the determination referred to hereinabove.

3

 

          (vi) A finding by the Committee, after full consideration of the facts presented on behalf of
both the Company and the Optionee, that the Optionee has breached his fiduciary duty to the Company
or an Affiliate, or has been engaged in any sort of disloyalty to the Company or an Affiliate,
including, without limitation, fraud, embezzlement, theft, commission of a felony or proven
dishonesty in the course of his service on the Board of Directors of the Company or has disclosed
trade secrets of the Company or an Affiliate. In such event, in addition to immediate termination
of the Option, the Optionee, upon a determination by the Committee, shall automatically forfeit all
Option Shares for which the Company has not yet delivered the share certificates upon refund by the
Company of the Option Price.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, at its discretion, provide in an Option
Document, either at the time of grant or at a later date by amendment thereto, (a) for an Option to
be exercisable beyond the date it would otherwise terminate pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 6(d) (provided, however, that no such continued period of exercisability may extend beyond
the expiration date specified in the Option Document); (b) for the continued increase in
exercisability of an Option beyond the termination of the Optionee’s service with the Company or
any of its affiliates; and (c) such terms and conditions as its deems appropriate in order for any
such continued and/or increased exercisability to be effective. If the Committee does not, however,
include in an Option Document any such provisions concerning exercisability of an Option following
the termination of service of an Optionee, the Option shall be exercisable during any period
following the termination of service of an Optionee only to the extent such Option was exercisable
immediately prior to the date such Optionee’s service was terminated.

     (e) Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control (as defined below), the
Committee may take whatever action with respect to the Options outstanding that it deems necessary
or desirable, including, without limitation, accelerating the expiration or termination date in the
respective Option Documents to a date no earlier than thirty (30) days after notice of such
acceleration is given to the Optionees. In addition to the foregoing, Options granted pursuant to
the Plan shall become immediately exercisable in full immediately prior to a Change of Control. A
“Change of Control” shall be deemed to have occurred upon the earliest to occur of the following
events: (i) the consummation of a plan or other arrangement pursuant to which the Company will be
dissolved or liquidated, or (ii) the consummation of a sale or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (iii) the consummation of a merger or
consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, other than, in either case, a merger
or consolidation of the Company in which holders of shares of the Common Stock immediately prior to
the merger or consolidation will hold at least a majority of the ownership of common stock of the
surviving corporation (and, if one class of common stock is not the only class of voting securities
entitled to vote on the election of directors of the surviving corporation, a majority of the
voting power of the surviving corporation’s voting securities) immediately after the merger or
consolidation, which common stock (and, if applicable, voting securities) is to be held in the same
proportion as such holders’ ownership of Common Stock immediately before the merger or
consolidation, or (iv) the date any entity, person or group, (within the meaning of Section
13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), (other than (A)
the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or
maintained by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or (B) any person who, on the date the Plan is
effective, shall have been the beneficial owner of at least fifteen percent (15%) of the
outstanding Common Stock), shall have become the beneficial owner of, or shall have obtained voting
control over, more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock, or (v)
the first day after the date this Plan is effective when directors are elected such that a majority
of the Board of Directors shall have been members of the Board of Directors for less than
twenty-four (24) months, unless the nomination for election of each new director who was not a
director at the beginning of such twenty-four (24) month period was approved by a vote of at least
two-thirds of the directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of such
period.

     (f) Transfers. No Option granted under the Plan may be transferred, except by will or
by the laws of descent and distribution. During the lifetime of the person to whom an Option is
granted, such Option may be exercised only by him. Notwithstanding the foregoing a Non-Qualified
Stock Option may be transferred pursuant to the terms of a “qualified domestic relations order,”
within the meaning of Sections 401(a)(13) and 414(p) of the Code or within the meaning of Title I
of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may permit a Non-Qualified Stock Option to be
transferred by the Optionee in a transaction qualifying as a “Family Transfer” (as hereinafter
defined). For these purposes, a Family Transfer is a transfer of a Non-Qualified Stock Option to
any person qualifying as a “family member,” as that term is defined in the General Instructions to
Form S-8 as published by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Form S-8”); provided, however,
that no transfer shall be treated as a Family Transfer if the transfer would be treated as a
transfer for value for purposes of Form S-8. Form S-8 defines “family member” as including any
child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling,
niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or
sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, any person

4

 

sharing the Non-employee Director’s household (other than a tenant or employee), a trust in
which these persons have more than fifty percent of the beneficial interest, a foundation in which
these persons (or the Non-employee Director) control management of assets, and any other entity in
which these persons (or the Non-employee Director) own more than fifty percent of the voting
interests.

     (g) Other Provisions. The Option Documents shall contain such other provisions,
including, without limitation, additional restrictions upon the exercise of the Option or
additional limitations upon the term of the Option, as the Committee shall deem advisable.

     (h) Amendment. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have the
right to amend Option Documents issued to an Optionee, subject to the Optionee’s consent if such
amendment is not favorable to the Optionee, except that the consent of the Optionee shall not be
required for any amendment made under Subsection 6(e).

     (i) Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee may, pursuant to this Section 6, make
grants of SARs to any person who is eligible under the terms of the Plan to receive a
Non-Qualified Stock Option. Each SAR granted under the Plan shall convey to the recipient rights
that are in all respects the economic equivalent of a Non-Qualified Stock Option granted under the
terms of the Plan, and shall include in the grant document all of the material terms and conditions
that would be included in a corresponding Option Document, including the number of shares of Common
Stock deemed to be subject to the SAR, the Option Price (which cannot be less than the fair market
value per share of the underlying shares of Common Stock determined as of the date the SAR is
granted), the time or times at which the SAR may be exercised, and an expiration date. The
economic benefit to the recipient of an SAR shall be equal to the value of the shares of Common
Stock underlying the SAR as of the date the SAR is exercised, reduced by the deemed Option Price of
the SAR applicable to the portion of the SAR being exercised. On exercise, the holder of the SAR
shall be entitled to receive a payment of either cash or a distribution of shares of Common Stock,
having a value equal to the value of the SAR (or portion being exercised) as described in the
preceding sentence. Whether the recipient of an SAR is entitled to cash or to a distribution of
shares of Common Stock upon exercise may be specified in the grant document. For all purposes of
the Plan, SARs shall be treated as though each SAR constituted a grant of a Non-Qualified Stock
Option for a number of Option Shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock designated as
underlying the SAR. As a consequence, and by way of example, for purposes of the limitation set
forth in Section 6(a), above, on the number of Option Shares that may be subject to options granted
to any one employee during any calendar year, the shares of Common Stock subject to an SAR granted
to an employee during a calendar year shall reduce the number of Option Shares otherwise available
for grant pursuant to Options granted to such employee during the same year.

     7. Exercise. No Option shall be deemed to have been exercised prior to the receipt by
the Company of written notice of such exercise and of payment in full of the Option Price for the
Option Shares to be purchased. Each such notice shall specify the number of Option Shares to be
purchased and shall (unless the Option Shares are covered by a then current registration statement
or a Notification under Regulation A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”)), contain the
Optionee’s acknowledgment in form and substance satisfactory to the Company that (a) such Option
Shares are being purchased for investment and not for distribution or resale (other than a
distribution or resale which, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, may be made
without violating the registration provisions of the Act), (b) the Optionee has been advised and
understands that (i) the Option Shares may not have been registered under the Act and are
“restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Act and are subject to
restrictions on transfer and (ii) the Company is under no obligation to register the Option Shares
under the Act or to take any action which would make available to the Optionee any exemption from
such registration, (c) such Option Shares may not be transferred without compliance with all
applicable federal and state securities laws, and (d) an appropriate legend referring to the
foregoing restrictions on transfer and any other restrictions imposed under the Option Documents
may be endorsed on the certificates. Notwithstanding the above, should the Company be advised by
counsel that issuance of shares should be delayed pending (A) registration under federal or state
securities laws (B) the receipt of an opinion that an appropriate exemption therefrom is available,
(C) the listing or inclusion of the shares on any securities exchange or in an automated quotation
system or (D) the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body whose consent or approval
is necessary in connection with the issuance of such Option Shares, the Company may defer exercise
of any Option granted hereunder until event A, B, C, or D has occurred. No Option granted pursuant
to Section 6 may be exercised until one year has elapsed from the Grant Date.

     8. Adjustments on Changes in Common Stock. The aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock as to which Grants may be awarded hereunder, along with any other limitations on Grants or
other provisions set forth in the Plan as a stated number of shares of Common Stock, the number of
shares covered by each outstanding Option or SAR and the Option Price per share shall be
appropriately adjusted in the event of a stock dividend, stock split or

5

 

other increase or decrease in the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock
resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of the Common Stock or other capital adjustment (not
including the issuance of Common Stock on the conversion of other securities of the Company which
are convertible into Common Stock) effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. The
Committee shall have authority to determine the adjustments to be made under this Section and any
such determination by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive.

     9. Amendment of the Plan. The Board of Directors may amend the Plan from time to time
in such manner as it may deem advisable. Nevertheless, the Board of Directors may not, without
obtaining approval by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the Company, within
twelve months before or after such action, extend the expiration date of the Plan or increase the
maximum number of shares as to which Options or SARs may be granted.

     10. Continued Service. Any Grant pursuant to the Plan shall not be construed to imply
or to constitute evidence of any agreements express or implied, on the part of the Company or any
Affiliate to retain the recipient as a member of the Board of Directors.

     11. Withholding of Taxes. Whenever the Company proposes or is required to issue or
transfer shares or pay cash pursuant to the terms of a Grant, the Company shall have the right to
(i) require the recipient or transferor to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy any
federal, state and/or local withholding tax requirements prior to the delivery or transfer of cash
or any certificate or certificates for such shares or (ii) take whatever action it deems necessary
to protect its interests. The Company’s obligation to make any delivery or transfer of cash or
shares shall be conditioned on the recipient’s compliance, to the Company’s satisfaction, with any
withholding requirement. The Committee may establish requirements and procedures with respect to
the Company’s withholding of cash or shares to satisfy any federal, state and/or local withholding
tax requirements which arise in connection with the transfer of shares or cash under a Grant, as
the Committee deems appropriate.

     12. Terms and Conditions of Awards. Awards granted pursuant to the Plan shall be
evidenced by written Award agreements (the “Award Agreements”) in such form as the Committee shall
from time to time approve, which Award Agreements shall comply with and be subject to the
provisions contained in the Plan and subject to such conditions and restrictions (including
conditions which may result in a forfeiture) as the Committee may, from time to time, require;
provided such conditions and restrictions are not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan. The
Award may provide for the lapse of restrictions on transfer and forfeiture conditions in
installments. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, shorten or waive any condition or
restriction with respect to all or any portion of any Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all
restrictions and conditions shall lapse or terminate with respect to shares of Common Stock subject
to an Award upon the death or disability (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) of
the recipient of the Award (the “Awardee”).

     (a) Number of Shares. Each Award Agreement shall state the number of shares of Common
Stock to which it pertains.

     (b) Purchase Price. Each Award Agreement shall specify the purchase price, if any,
which applies to the Award. If the Committee specifies a purchase price, the Awardee shall be
required to make payment on or before the date specified in the Award Agreement. An Awardee shall
pay for such shares of Common Stock (i) in cash, (ii) by certified check payable to the order of
the Company, or (iii) by such other mode of payment as the Committee may approve.

     (c) Transfer of Shares. In the case of an Award which provides for a transfer of
shares of Common Stock without any payment by the Awardee, the transfer shall take place on the
date specified in the Award Agreement. In the case of an Award which provides for a payment, the
transfer shall take place on the date the initial payment is delivered to the Company, unless the
Committee or the Award Agreement otherwise specifies. Stock certificates evidencing shares of
Common Stock transferred pursuant to an Award shall be issued in the sole name of the Awardee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, as a precondition to a transfer, the Company may require an
acknowledgment by the Awardee as required with respect to Options under Section 7 and may further
require that the Awardee satisfy any of the Company’s withholding obligations attributable to any
federal, state or local law as a result of such transfer.

     (d) Forfeiture Conditions. The Committee may specify in an Award Agreement any
conditions under which the Awardee shall be required to convey to the Company the shares of Common
Stock covered by the Award. Upon the occurrence of any such specified condition, the Awardee shall
forthwith surrender and deliver to the Company the certificates evidencing such shares as well as
completely executed instruments of conveyance. The Committee, in its

6

 

discretion, may provide that certificates for shares of Common Stock transferred pursuant to
an Award be held in escrow by the Company’s Treasurer or an appropriate officer of the Company,
together with an undated stock power executed by the Awardee, until such time as each and every
condition that may result in a forfeiture has lapsed, and that the Awardee be required, as a
condition of the transfer, to deliver to such escrow agent stock powers covering the transferred
shares of Common Stock duly endorsed by the Awardee. Stock certificates evidencing shares of Common
Stock subject to forfeiture shall bear a legend to the effect that the Common Stock evidenced
thereby is subject to repurchase or conveyance to the Company in accordance with an Award made
under the Plan and that the shares of Common Stock may not be sold or otherwise transferred.

     (e) Lapse of Conditions. Upon termination or lapse of each and every forfeiture
condition, the Company shall cause certificates without the legend referring to the Company’s
repurchase right (but with any other legends that may be appropriate, including legends indicating
the restrictions that have been established by the terms of the Award) evidencing the shares of
Common Stock covered by the Award to be issued to the Awardee upon the Awardee’s surrender of the
legended certificates held by him to the Company.

     (f) Rights as Stockholder. Upon payment of the purchase price, if any, for shares of
Common Stock covered by an Award and compliance with the acknowledgment requirement of Subsection
12(c), the Awardee shall have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of
Common Stock covered thereby, including the right to vote such shares and receive all dividends and
other distributions paid or made with respect thereto, except to the extent otherwise provided by
the Committee or in the Award Agreement.

     (g) Lapse of Restrictions. Upon the expiration or termination of the restrictions
applicable under the terms of an Award, and the satisfaction of any other conditions set forth in
an Award Agreement by the Committee as permitted under the Plan, the restrictions applicable to the
shares of Common Stock granted pursuant to an Award shall lapse and a stock certificate for the
number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the restrictions have lapsed shall be
delivered, free of all such restrictions, except any that may be imposed by law or pursuant to any
shareholders agreement then in effect, to the Awardee or the beneficiary or estate of the Awardee,
as the case may be. The Company shall not, however, be required to deliver any fractional share of
Common Stock but will pay, in lieu thereof, the fair market value (determined as of the date the
restrictions lapse) of such fractional share to the Awardee or the Awardee’s beneficiary or estate,
as the case may be.

     (h) Section 83(b) Elections. An Awardee who files an election with the Internal
Revenue Service to include the fair market value of any shares of Common Stock granted pursuant to
an Award in gross income while they are still subject to restrictions shall promptly furnish the
Company with a copy of such election together with the amount of any federal, state, local or other
taxes required to be withheld to enable the Company to claim an income tax deduction with respect
to such election.

     (i) Forfeiture for Breach of Duty to Company. Upon a finding by the Committee, after
full consideration of the facts presented on behalf of both the Company and the Awardee, that the
Awardee has breached his or her fiduciary duty to the Company or an Affiliate, or has been engaged
in disloyalty to the Company or an Affiliate, including, without limitation, fraud, embezzlement,
theft, commission of a felony or proven dishonesty in the course of his or her service on the Board
of Directors of the Company, or has disclosed trade secrets or confidential information of the
Company or an Affiliate, Awardee shall automatically forfeit all shares of Common Stock granted
pursuant to an Award for which (i) the Company has not yet delivered the share certificates to the
Awardee or (ii) any restrictions applicable to such shares have not lapsed. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Company may withhold delivery of certificates for shares of
Common Stock granted pursuant to an Award pending the resolution of any inquiry that could lead to
a finding resulting in a forfeiture.

     (j) Amendment. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have the
right to amend Awards issued to an Awardee, subject to the Awardee’s consent if such amendment is
not favorable to the Awardee, except that the consent of the Awardee shall not be required for any
amendment made pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan.

     (k) Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in Section 6(e)
above), the Committee may take whatever action with respect to Awards that have been granted under
the Plan that it deems necessary or desirable. In addition to the foregoing, the restrictions
applicable to shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to Awards under the Plan shall lapse
immediately prior to a Change of Control.

     (l) Restricted Stock Units. In addition to grants of Awards under this Section 12,
the Committee may grant RSUs to any person eligible to receive an Award under this Section 12. To
the extent an applicable grant document provides that settlement of the recipient’s rights under an
RSU is to be by means of a payment of cash or delivery of

7

 

shares of the Common Stock at a time later than the date the recipient vests in such RSU, the
time and manner of payment or delivery shall be specified in the grant document either as a date
certain, or by reference to the recipient’s separation from service or a change in the ownership or
effective control of the Company (as these terms are used for purposes of Code Section 409A) and
shall include, to the extent required under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), a delay in payment or
delivery of six months where payment or delivery is by reason of the recipient’s separation from
service.

     13. Interpretation. The Plan is intended to enable transactions under the Plan with
respect to directors and officers (within the meaning of Section 16(a) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) to satisfy the conditions of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; any provision of the Plan which would cause a conflict
with such conditions shall be deemed null and void to the extent permitted by applicable law and in
the discretion of the Board of Directors.

     14. Special Provisions Related to Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, no Grants shall be made that will be treated as creating a “nonqualified deferred
compensation plan” as that term is defined for purposes of Section 409A of the Code unless such
Grant complies with all applicable rules under Section 409A of the Code, or to the extent the
Committee determines that such Grant will not cause the recipient to be subject to taxation by
reason of the inclusion of the value of such Grant in the recipient’s gross income pursuant to Code
Section 409A(a)(1). While it is not anticipated that any Grants made under the terms of the Plan
as set forth herein would create “nonqualified deferred compensation,” this Section 14 is intended
to prohibit modifications to outstanding Options or SARs that would cause the modified Option or
SAR to be deemed to be a new Option or SAR with an Option Price below the fair market value of the
Option Shares determined as of the date of such modification, unless arrangements are made so that
the deemed date of “payment” for purposes of Code Section 409A can only be on a permitted
distribution date pursuant to Code Section 409A. For purposes of applying this Section 14, the
Committee shall look to applicable guidance regarding the provisions of Code Section 409A as
released from time to time by the Internal Revenue Service or the Department of the Treasury,
including, but not limited to, IRS Notices Treasury Regulations, and such other temporary or final
regulations or guidance as may be issued regarding Code Section 409A from time to time.

     15. Effective Date. The Plan was effective upon approval by the Company’s
stockholders on March 14, 2007.

office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”) and an office or
agency where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Securities and this
Indenture may be served. Such office may be the same office as the Issuer’s office referred to in

exchange. The Issuer may have one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional paying agents.
The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent.

Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such
Agent. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any such
Agent and the Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Securities register at all reasonable
times to obtain copies thereof, and the Trustee shall have the right to rely upon such register as
to the names and addresses of the Holders and the principal amounts and certificate numbers
thereof. If the Issuer fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent or fails to give the
foregoing notice, the Trustee shall act as such.

     The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent.

Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

     Each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders and the Trustee all money
held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities, and shall

Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money and hold it as a separate trust fund.
The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee.
Upon doing so the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money.

Section 2.05 Holder Lists.

     The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent

selected for redemption, except the unredeemed part thereof if the Security is redeemed in
part, or transfer or exchange any Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of
Securities to be redeemed. Any transfer or exchange shall be without charge, except that the
Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that

connection therewith) except in the case of exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.09, 3.06, or 10.05 not
involving any transfer.

Section 2.07 Replacement Securities.

     If the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed, mutilated or
wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and, upon written request of any Officer of the Issuer,
the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security, provided that in the case of a lost,
destroyed or wrongfully taken Security, that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the New York
Uniform Commercial Code are met. If any such lost, destroyed, mutilated or wrongfully taken
Security shall have matured or shall be about to mature, the Issuer may, instead of issuing a
substitute Security therefor, pay such Security without requiring (except in the case of a
mutilated Security) the surrender thereof. An indemnity bond must be sufficient in the judgment of
the Issuer and the Trustee to protect the Issuer, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss which any
of them may suffer if a Security is replaced, including the acquisition of such Security by a
protected purchaser. The Issuer may charge for its expenses in replacing a Security. Every
replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Issuer and the Guarantors

Section 2.08 Outstanding Securities.

     Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for
those presented to it by the Issuer or its designee for cancellation and those described in this
Section as not outstanding. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer, the
Guarantors or one of their Affiliates holds the Security.

     If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the
Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a protected
purchaser.

     If the Paying Agent holds on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay
Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities cease to be
outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

     If a Security is called for redemption or if it matures in less than six months and if the
Issuer has satisfied its obligation to pay the Security, or if a Security has been converted in
accordance with the provisions of Article Eleven, the Issuer and the Trustee need not treat the
Security as outstanding in determining whether Holders of the required principal amount of
Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent.

     For each series of Original Issue Discount Securities, the principal amount of such Securities
that shall be deemed to be outstanding and used to determine whether the necessary Holders have
given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver shall be the
principal amount of such Securities that could be declared to be due and payable upon

- 12 -

 

acceleration upon an Event of Default as of the date of such determination. When requested by
the Trustee, the Issuer will advise the Trustee of such amount, showing its computations in
reasonable detail.

     Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this
Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security
shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such
other Security.

Section 2.09 Temporary Securities.

     Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and execute, the
Guarantors shall endorse the Guarantee thereon, and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary
Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but
may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without
unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and, upon surrender for cancellation of the temporary
Security, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive
Securities in exchange for temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities
shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive
Securities authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.10 Cancellation.

     The Issuer at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar
and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration
of transfer, exchange, conversion, redemption or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel
and destroy all Securities surrendered for registration or transfer, exchange, redemption, paying
or cancellation. Unless the Authorizing Resolution so provides, the Issuer may not issue new
Securities to replace Securities that it has previously paid or delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation.

Section 2.11 Defaulted Interest.

     If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, it shall pay the defaulted
interest plus any interest payable on the defaulted interest (to the extent lawful), if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special
Record Date. The Issuer shall fix such special Record Date and a payment date. At least 15 days
before such special Record Date, the Issuer shall mail to each Holder a notice that states the
Record Date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

Section 2.12 Treasury Securities.

     In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities of a Series
have concurred in any direction, waiver, consent or notice, Securities owned by the Issuer, the
Guarantors or any of their respective Affiliates shall be considered as though they are not
outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in
relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities which the Trustee actually knows
are so owned shall be so considered.

- 13 -

 

Section 2.13 CUSIP Numbers.

     The Issuer in issuing the Securities of any Series may use a “CUSIP” number, and if so, the
Trustee shall use the CUSIP number in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders
of such Securities; provided that no representation is hereby deemed to be made by the Trustee as
to the correctness or accuracy of any such CUSIP number printed in the notice or on such
Securities, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on
such Securities. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in any CUSIP number.

Section 2.14 Deposit of Moneys.

     Prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on each interest payment date and maturity date with
respect to each Series of Securities, the Issuer shall have deposited with the Paying Agent in
immediately available funds money sufficient to make cash payments due on such interest payment
date or maturity date, as applicable, in a timely manner which permits the Paying Agent to remit
payment to the Holders on such interest payment date or maturity date, as applicable.

Section 2.15 Book-Entry Provisions for Global Security.

     (a) Any Global Security of a Series initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the
depository who shall be identified in the Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture relating
to such Securities (the “Depository”) or the nominee of such Depository, (ii) be delivered to the
Trustee as custodian for such Depository and (iii) bear any required legends.

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

     (b) Transfers of any Global Security shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part,
to the Depository, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in
the Global Security may be transferred or exchanged for definitive Securities in accordance with
the rules and procedures of the Depository. In addition, definitive Securities shall be
transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global
Security if (i) the Depository notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depository for the Global Security or, if at any time, the Depository ceases to be a clearing
agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and a successor depository
is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of such notice or (ii) an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing or an event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both
would constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Securities and the Registrar has received
a request from the Depository to issue definitive Securities.

- 14 -

 

     (c) In connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion of the beneficial interest in any
Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b), the Registrar shall (if one or more
definitive 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 Issuer and the Guarantors
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more definitive Securities of
like tenor and amount.

     (d) In connection with the transfer of an entire Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant
to paragraph (b), the Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for
cancellation, and the Issuer and the Guarantors shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depository in exchange for its beneficial
interest in the Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of
authorized denominations.

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

     (f) Each Global Security shall also bear the following legend on the face thereof:

     Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for securities in definitive form,
this security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depository to a nominee of the
depository, or by any such nominee of the depository, or by the depository or nominee of
such successor depository or any such nominee to a successor depository or a nominee of such
successor depository. Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative
of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (“DTC”), to an issuer or its agent
for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered
in the name of Cede & Co. or such other name as is requested by an authorized
representative of DTC (and any payment hereon is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity
as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), any transfer, pledge or other use
hereof for value or otherwise by or to any person is wrongful inasmuch as the registered
owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.

     Transfers of this global security shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in
part, to nominees of Cede & Co. or to a successor thereof or such successor’s nominee and
transfers of portions of this global security shall be limited to transfers made in
accordance with the restrictions set forth in Section 2.17 of the Indenture referred to
herein.

Section 2.16 Restrictive Legends.

     Each Global Security and Physical Security that constitutes a Restricted Security or is sold
in compliance with Regulation S shall bear the following legend (the “Private Placement Legend”) on
the face thereof until after the second anniversary of the later of the Issue Date and

- 15 -

 

the last date on which the Company or any Affiliate was the owner of such Security (or any
predecessor note) (or such shorter period of time as permitted by Rule 144 under the Securities Act
or any successor provision thereunder), or such longer period of time as may be required under the
Securities Act or applicable state securities laws in the opinion of counsel for the Issuer, unless
otherwise agreed by the Company and the Holder thereof:

     This security has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), or any state or other securities laws. Neither this security nor any interest
or participation herein or therein may be reoffered, sold, assigned, transferred, pledged,
encumbered or otherwise disposed of in the absence of such registration or unless such transaction
is exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. By its
acquisition hereof, the holder (1) represents that it is a “qualified institutional buyer” (as
defined in Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act), (2) agrees not to offer, sell or
otherwise transfer this note prior to (x) the date which is two years (or such shorter period of
time as permitted by Rule 144 of the Securities Act) after the original issue date of the senior
notes or (y) such later date, if any, as may be required by applicable law (the “resale restriction
termination date”) except (a) to the Company or any of its subsidiaries (b) pursuant to a
registration statement which has been declared effective under the Securities Act, (c) for so long
as the senior notes are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, to a person it reasonably
believes is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A that purchases for its own
account or for the account of a qualified institutional buyer, in each case to whom notice is given
that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (d) to a non-”U.S. person” in an
“offshore transaction” (as such terms are defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) in
accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act (as indicated by the box checked by the
transferor on the certificate of transfer on the reverse of this security if this security is not
in book-entry form), (e) to an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501 (a)(1),
(2), (3) or (7) of the Securities Act (an “Institutional Accredited Investor”)) that, prior to such
transfer, furnishes the trustee for the securities a signed letter containing certain
representations and agreements (the form of which can be obtained from the trustee), or (f)
pursuant to another available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act,
subject in each of the foregoing cases to any requirement of law that the disposition of its
property or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all times within its or their
control, and (3) agrees that it will give to each person to whom this note is transferred a notice
substantially to the effect of this legend; provided that the Company, and the Trustee shall have
the right prior to any such offer, sale or transfer pursuant to clause (f) to require the delivery
of an opinion of counsel, certification and/or other information satisfactory to each of them.
This legend will be removed upon the request of the holder after the resale restriction termination
date.

     In addition, the Global Security and any certificated notes sold to Qualified Institutional
Buyers pursuant to Rule 144A will contain an additional legend substantially to the following
effect:

     Each purchaser of this security is hereby notified that the seller of this
security may be relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the
Securities Act provided by Rule 144A.

Section 2.17 Special Transfer Provisions.

- 16 -

 

     (a) Transfers to Non-QIB Institutional Accredited Investors and Non-U.S. Persons. The
following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration of any proposed transfer of a
Security constituting a Restricted Security to any Institutional Accredited Investor which is not a
QIB or to any Non-U.S. Person:

          (i) the Registrar shall register the transfer of any Security constituting a Restricted
Security whether or not such Security bears the Private Placement Legend, if (x) the
requested transfer is after the second anniversary of the Issue Date (provided, however,
that neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company has held any beneficial interest
in such Security, or portion thereof, at any time on or prior to the second anniversary of
the Issue Date) or (y) (1) in the case of a transfer to an Institutional Accredited Investor
which is not a QIB (excluding Non-U.S. Persons), the proposed transferee has delivered to
the Registrar a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto and any legal
opinions and certifications required thereby or (2) in the case of a transfer to a Non-U.S.
Person, the proposed transferor has delivered to the Registrar a certificate substantially
in the form of Exhibit D hereto; and

          (ii) if the proposed transferor is an Agent Member holding a beneficial interest in the
Global Security, upon receipt by the Registrar of (x) the certificate, if any, required by
paragraph (i) above and (y) written instructions given in accordance with the Depository’s
and the Registrar’s procedures, whereupon (a) the Registrar shall reflect on its books and
records the date and (if the transfer does not involve a transfer of outstanding Physical
Securities) a decrease in the principal amount of such Global Security in an amount equal to
the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Security to be transferred,
and (b) the Issuer shall execute, the Guarantors shall execute the Guarantee on, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Physical Securities of like tenor and
amount.

     (b) 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 (excluding
transfers to Non-U.S. Persons):

          (i) the 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 Issuer and the 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
Issuer and the 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 Issuer 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

- 17 -

 

          (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 a Global Security, upon receipt by the Registrar of written instructions given
in accordance with the Depository’s and the Registrar’s procedures, the Registrar shall
reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the principal amount of such
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

     (c) Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities not
bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver Securities that do not bear the
Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities bearing the
Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Securities that bear the Private
Placement Legend unless (i) the requested transfer is after the second anniversary of the Issue
Date (provided, however, that neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company has held any
beneficial interest in such Security, or portion thereof, at any time prior to or on the second
anniversary of the Issue Date), or (ii) there is delivered to the Registrar an Opinion of Counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer 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.

     (d) General. By its acceptance of any Security bearing the Private Placement Legend, each
Holder of such a Security acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Security set forth in
this Indenture and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Security
only as provided in this Indenture.

     The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications
received pursuant to Section 2.06 or this Section. The Issuer shall have the right to inspect and
make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time
during the Registrar’s normal business hours upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the
Registrar.

     (e) Transfers of Securities Held by Affiliates. Any certificate (i) evidencing a Security
that has been transferred to an Affiliate of the Company within two years after the Issue Date, as
evidenced by a notation on the Assignment Form for such transfer or in the representation letter
delivered in respect thereof or (ii) evidencing a Security that has been acquired from an Affiliate
(other than by an Affiliate) in a transaction or a chain of transactions not involving any public
offering, shall, until two years after the last date on which either the Company or any Affiliate
of the Company was an owner of such Security, in each case, bear a legend in substantially the form
set forth in Section 2.16, unless otherwise agreed by the Issuer (with written notice thereof to
the Trustee).

ARTICLE THREE

Redemption

Section 3.01 Notices to Trustee.

- 18 -

 

     Securities of a Series that are redeemable prior to maturity shall be redeemable in accordance
with their terms and, unless the Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture provides
otherwise, in accordance with this Article.

     If the Issuer wants to redeem Securities pursuant to Paragraph 5 of the Securities, it shall
notify the Trustee in writing of the Redemption Date and the principal amount of Securities to be
redeemed. Any such notice may be canceled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being
mailed to Holders. Any such canceled notice shall be void and of no effect. If the Issuer wants
to credit any Securities previously redeemed, retired or acquired against any redemption pursuant
to Paragraph 6 of the Securities, it shall notify the Trustee of the amount of the credit and it
shall deliver any Securities not previously delivered to the Trustee for cancellation with such
notice.

     The Issuer shall give each notice provided for in this Section at least 10 days before the
notice of any such redemption is to be mailed to Holders (unless a shorter notice shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee).

Section 3.02 Selection of Securities to be Redeemed.

     If less than all the Securities of a Series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the
Securities to be redeemed, if the Securities of such Series are listed on a national securities
exchange, in accordance with the rules of such exchange, or if the Securities of such Series are
not so listed, on either a pro rata basis or by lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem
fair and appropriate. The Trustee shall make the selection from Securities outstanding and not
previously called for redemption. Securities in denominations of $1,000 may only be redeemed in
whole. The Trustee may select for redemption portions (equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple
thereof) of the principal of Securities that have denominations larger than $1,000. Provisions of
this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities
called for redemption.

Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption.

     At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Issuer shall mail a
notice of redemption by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities to be
redeemed. The notice shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and shall state:

          (1) the redemption date;

          (2) the redemption price;

          (3) the name and address of the Paying Agent;

          (4) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect
the redemption price;

          (5) that interest on Securities called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the
redemption date;

- 19 -

 

          (6) that the Securities are being redeemed pursuant to the mandatory redemption or the
optional redemption provisions, as applicable;

          (7) in the event that any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the
principal amount thereof to be redeemed and that on and after the redemption date, upon surrender
of such Security, a new Security or Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion
thereof will be issued; and

          (8) if applicable, the current Conversion Price and the date on which the right to convert the
Securities into Common Stock will expire.

     At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name
and at its expense.

Section 3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption.

     Once notice of redemption is mailed, Securities called for redemption become due and payable
on the redemption date and at the redemption price as set forth in the notice of redemption. Upon
surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price, plus accrued
interest to the redemption date.

Section 3.05 Deposit of Redemption Price.

     On or before the redemption date, the Issuer or its designee shall deposit with the Paying
Agent immediately available funds sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on
all Securities to be redeemed on that date.

Section 3.06 Securities Redeemed in Part.

     Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for each Holder a new Security equal in principal amount
to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

ARTICLE FOUR

Covenants

Section 4.01 Payment of Securities.

     The Issuer shall pay the principal of and interest on Securities of a Series on the dates and
in the manner provided in the Securities of the Series. An installment of principal or interest
shall be considered paid on the date it is due if the Trustee or Paying Agent holds on that date
money designated for and sufficient to pay the installment.

     The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Series; it shall
pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.

Section 4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

     The Issuer shall maintain the office or agency required under Section 2.03. The Issuer shall
give prior written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such
office or agency. If at any time the Issuer 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 address of the Trustee.

Section 4.03 Compliance Certificate.

     The Issuer and the Company each shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of
their respective fiscal years an Officers’ Certificate satisfying the requirements of TIA
§3.14(a)(4) and stating whether or not the signers know of any Default by the Issuer in performing
any of its obligations under this Indenture. If they do know of such a Default, the certificate
shall describe the Default.

Section 4.04 Additional Guarantors.

     If in accordance with the provisions of the Bank Credit Facilities the Company adds or causes
to be added, any Subsidiary that was not a Guarantor at the time of execution of this Indenture as
a guarantor under the Bank Credit Facilities, such Subsidiary shall contemporaneously become a
Guarantor under this Indenture by (i) executing and delivering to the Trustee a supplemental
indenture or an Authorizing Resolution in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee pursuant to
which such Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee all of the Issuer’s obligations under the
Securities of any Series that has the benefit of Guarantees of other Subsidiaries of the Company
and this Indenture (as it relates to all such Series) on the terms set forth in this Indenture and
(ii) delivering to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that such supplemental indenture or
Authorizing Resolution has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Subsidiary and
constitutes a legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Subsidiary. Thereafter,
such Subsidiary shall be a Guarantor for all purposes of this Indenture (as it relates to all such
Series).

- 21 -

 

Section 4.05 Reports.

     (a) So long as the Securities are outstanding, whether or not the Company is then subject to
Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall electronically file with the SEC, the
annual reports, quarterly reports and other periodic reports that the Company would be required to
file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) if the Company were so subject, and such
documents shall be filed with the SEC on or prior to the respective dates (the “Required Filing
Dates”) by which the Company would be required so to file such documents if the Company were so
subject, unless, in any case, if such filings are not then permitted by the SEC.

     (b) If such filings with the SEC are not then permitted by the SEC, or such filings are not
generally available on the Internet free of charge, the Company shall, within 15 days of each
Required Filing Date, transmit by mail to Holders of the Securities, as their names and addresses
appear in the Register, without cost to such Holders, and file with the Trustee copies of the
annual reports, quarterly reports and other periodic reports that the Company would be required to
file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Company were
subject to such Section 13(a) or 15(d), and promptly upon written request, supply copies of such
documents to any prospective holder or beneficial owner at Company’s cost. 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 rely exclusively on
Officers’ Certificates).

     (c) So long as any Securities remain outstanding and constitute “restricted securities” under
Rule 144, the Company shall furnish to the Holders and to securities analysts and prospective
investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4)
under the Act.

ARTICLE FIVE

Successor Corporation

Section 5.01 When the Issuer or the Guarantors May Merge, etc.

     Neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor will consolidate with or merge with or into or sell,
assign, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets to another Person unless entitled
by law and unless:

          (1) the resulting, surviving, receiving, or leasing Person is, in the case of (i) the Issuer
or the Company, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America
or any state thereof or (ii) any Guarantor (other than the Company), a corporation or other legal
entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof;

          (2) such Person assumes by supplemental indenture in a form reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee all the obligations of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, under

- 22 -

 

the Securities or the Guarantee, as applicable, and the Indenture, and shall also expressly
assume by an amendment or supplement executed and delivered to the Trustee, in a form reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee, all of the Issuer’s and such Guarantors’, as applicable, covenants and
other obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement; and

          (3) immediately after giving effect to, and as a result of such consolidation, merger, sale,
assignment, transfer or lease, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing; provided that this clause (3) will not restrict or be applicable to such consolidation,
merger, sale, assignment, transfer or lease of a Guarantor with or into the Issuer, the Company or
a Subsidiary that is, or concurrently with the completion of such consolidation, merger, sale,
assignment, transfer or lease becomes, a Guarantor.

     Upon any such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment or transfer (including any
consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer described in the proviso at the end of the
immediately preceding sentence) the successor corporation or legal entity, as the case may be, will
be substituted for the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, under the Indenture. The successor
Person may, as applicable, then exercise every power and right of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as
applicable, under the Indenture, and the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, will be released
from all of its respective liabilities and obligations in respect of the Securities or the
Guarantee, as applicable, and the Indenture. If the Issuer or any Guarantor leases all or
substantially all of its assets, the lessee Person will be the successor to the Issuer or such
Guarantor, as applicable, and may exercise every power and right of the Issuer or such Guarantor,
as applicable, under the Indenture, but the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, will not be
released from its respective obligations to pay the principal and interest, if any, on the
Securities.

     The Issuer and the Company shall each deliver to the Trustee prior to the consummation of the
proposed transaction an Officers’ Certificate to the foregoing effect and an Opinion of Counsel
stating that the proposed transaction and such supplemental indenture or Authorizing Resolutions
comply with this Indenture.

     To the extent that an Authorizing Resolution or a supplemental indenture pertaining to any
Series provides for different provisions relating to the subject matter of this Article Five, the
provisions in such Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture shall govern for purposes of
such Series

ARTICLE SIX

Defaults and Remedies

Section 6.01 Events of Default.

     An “Event of Default” on a Series occurs if, voluntarily or involuntarily, whether by
operation of law or otherwise, any of the following occurs:

          (1) the failure by the Issuer or a Guarantor to pay interest on any Security of such Series
when the same becomes due and payable and the continuance of any such failure for a period of 30
days;

- 23 -

 

          (2) the failure by the Issuer or a Guarantor to pay the principal of any Security of such
Series when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise;

          (3) the failure by the Issuer, the Company or any Guarantor which is a Significant Subsidiary
to comply with any of its agreements or covenants in, or provisions of, the Securities of such
Series, the Guarantees (as they relate thereto) or this Indenture (as they relate thereto), other
than a failure specifically dealt with elsewhere within this Indenture, and such failure continues
for the period and after the notice specified below;

          (4) any default under an instrument evidencing or securing any of Issuer’s Indebtedness or the
Indebtedness of any Guarantor (other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness) aggregating $10,000,000 more
in aggregate principal amount, resulting in the acceleration of such Indebtedness, or due to the
failure to pay such Indebtedness at maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise;

          (5) the occurrence of an acceleration of, or a significant modification of the terms
(including without limitation the payment of more than an insignificant amount of fees to the
holders thereof) of any [ ] (each of these series of notes being
referred to below as an “Outstanding Series”), provided that on the date of such occurrence, the
outstanding principal amount of at least one Outstanding Series to which the occurrence relates
exceeds $5,000,000);

          (6) any Guarantee in respect of the Securities by the Company or a Guarantor that is a
Significant Subsidiary shall for any reason cease to be, or be asserted in writing by the Company,
such Guarantor or the Issuer, as applicable, not to be, in full force and effect and enforceable in
accordance with its terms (other than by reason of the termination of the Indenture or the release
or discharge of any such Guarantee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture); provided,
however, that if the Company, such Guarantor or the Issuer, as applicable, asserts in writing that
such Guarantee is not in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms, such
assertion shall not constitute an Event of Default for purposes of this paragraph if (i) such
written assertion is accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel of each of the Issuer, the Company and
such Guarantor to the effect that, as a matter of law, the defect or defects rendering such
Guarantee unenforceable can be remedied within 10 days of the date of such assertion, (ii) each of
the Issuer and the Company delivers an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that the Company, such
Guarantor or the Issuer, as applicable, represents that such defect or defects shall be so remedied
within such 10-day period, and (iii) such defect or defects are in fact so remedied within such
10-day period;

          (7) the Issuer, the Company or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of
any Bankruptcy Law:

          (A) commences a voluntary case,

          (B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary
case,

- 24 -

 

          (C) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or
substantially all of its property, or

          (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or

          (8) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

          (A) is for relief against the Issuer, the Company or any Significant
Subsidiary as debtor in an involuntary case,

          (B) appoints a Custodian of the Issuer, the Company or any Significant
Subsidiary or a Custodian for all or substantially all of the property of the
Issuer, the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, or

          (C) orders the liquidation of the Issuer, the Company or any Significant
Subsidiary,

     and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days.

     A Default as described in sub-clause (3) above will not be deemed an Event of Default until
the Trustee notifies the Issuer and the Company, or the Holders of at least 25 percent in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of the applicable Series notify the Issuer and
the Company and the Trustee, of the Default and the Issuer, the Company or any Guarantor which is a
Significant Subsidiary does not cure the Default within 60 days after receipt of the notice. The
notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice
of Default.” If such a Default is cured within such time period, it ceases.

     Any Event of Default that relates exclusively to a Guarantor other than the Company may be
cured to the extent such Guarantor is released from its Guarantee pursuant to Section 9.03.

     The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar
official under any Bankruptcy Law.

Section 6.02 Acceleration.

     If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default with respect to the Issuer, the Company
or any Significant Subsidiary resulting from sub-clauses (7) or (8) of Section 6.01), shall have
occurred and be continuing under the Indenture, the Trustee by notice to the Issuer and the Company
or the Holders or the Holders of at least 25 percent in principal amount of the Securities of the
applicable Series then outstanding by notice to the Issuer, the Company and the Trustee, may
declare all Securities of such Series and interest, if any, accrued thereon to be due and payable
immediately. Upon such declaration of acceleration, the amounts due and payable on the Securities
of such Series and interest, if any, accrued thereon will be due and payable immediately. If an
Event of Default with respect to the Issuer, the Company or any Significant Subsidiary specified in
sub-clauses (7) or (8) of Section 6.01 occurs, all amounts due and payable on the Securities of
such Series will ipso facto become and be immediately due and

- 25 -

 

payable without any declaration, notice or other act on the part of the Trustee, the Issuer,
the Company or any Holder. Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding
Securities of such Series may rescind an acceleration with respect to such Series and its
consequence (except an acceleration due to nonpayment of principal or interest on the Securities of
such Series) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all past
Events of Default have been cured or waived.

     No such rescission shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent Event of Default, or shall
impair any right or power consequent thereon.

Section 6.03 Other Remedies.

     If an Event of Default on a Series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any
available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or
interest on the Series or to enforce the performance of any provision in the Securities or this
Indenture applicable to the Series.

     The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or
does not produce any of them 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 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.

     Subject to Section 10.02, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
Securities of a Series on behalf of all the Holders of the Series by notice to the Trustee may
waive a past Default on such Series and its consequences. When a Default is waived, it is cured
and stops continuing, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been
cured; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right
consequent thereon.

Section 6.05 Control by Majority.

     The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of a Series may
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 with respect to such Series.
The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction (i) that conflicts with law or this
Indenture, (ii) that, subject to Section 7.01, the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the
rights of other Holders, or (iii) that would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.

     A Holder of a Series may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Series
unless:

          (1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default on the
Series;

- 26 -

 

          (2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of
the Series make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

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

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

          (5) no written request inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the
Trustee during such 60-day period by Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Securities of the Series.

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

Section 6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive
payment of principal of and interest on the Security, on or after the respective due dates
expressed in the Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after
such respective dates, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without
the consent of the Holder.

Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.

     If an Event of Default in payment of interest or principal specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2)
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an
express trust against the Issuer, any Guarantor or any other obligor on the Securities for the
whole amount of principal and interest remaining unpaid

Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

     The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the
Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, the Company (or any other
obligor upon the Securities, including the other Guarantors) its creditors or its property, and
unless prohibited by applicable law or regulation, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any
election of a Custodian, and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any moneys or
other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same and any
Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments
to the Trustee. Nothing herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to
or vote for 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 or to authorize the
Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder except as aforesaid for the election of the
Custodian.

Section 6.10 Priorities.

     If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article, it shall pay out the money in the
following order:

     First: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07;

     Second: to Holders of the Series for amounts due and unpaid on the Series for
principal and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
according to the amounts due and payable on the Series for principal and interest,
respectively; and

     Third: to the Issuer or the Guarantors as their interests may appear.

     The Trustee may fix a Record Date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this
Section.

Section 6.11 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, a court in its discretion may
require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the
suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having the due regard to the merits and good faith of
the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the
Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in
principal amount of the Series.

Trustee

Section 7.01 Duties of Trustee.

     (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall, subject to
Section 6.02, exercise its rights and powers and use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own
affairs.

     (b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

          (1) The Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this
Indenture and no others.

          (2) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the
truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or
opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. The
Trustee, however, shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine

- 28 -

 

whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture but need not confirm or
investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts or matters stated therein.

     (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

          (1) This paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section.

          (2) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust
Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05 or any other

Trustee may agree with the Issuer. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law.

     (g) None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or
risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties
or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable grounds for
believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such liability is not
reasonably assured to it.

Section 7.02 Rights of Trustee.

     Subject to Section 7.01:

     (a) The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting on any
document, resolution, certificate, instrument, report, or direction believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any
fact or matter stated in the document, resolution, certificate, instrument, report, or direction.

     (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require from each of the Issuer
and the Company an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both, which shall conform to
Sections 12.04 and 12.05 hereof and containing such other statements as the Trustee reasonably
deems necessary to perform its duties hereunder. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it
takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate, Opinion of Counsel
or any other direction of the Issuer permitted hereunder.

- 29 -

 

     (c) The Trustee may act through agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or
negligence of any agent appointed with due care.

upon it by this Indenture.

Opinion of Counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection in
respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance
with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

     (f) Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Indenture, any demand, request, direction or
notice from the Issuer shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer of the Issuer.

     (g) For all purposes under this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or
knowledge of any Event of Default (other than under Section 6.01(1) or 6.01(2)) unless a Trust
Officer assigned to and working in the Trustee’s corporate trust office has actual knowledge
thereof or unless written notice of any Event of Default is received by the Trustee at its address
specified in Section 12.02 hereof and such notice references the Securities and the Guarantees
generally, the Issuer, the Guarantors or this Indenture.

Section 7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee.

     The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of
Securities and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would
have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee, however,
must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer.

     The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the
Securities or of any prospectus or offering memorandum used to sell the Securities; it shall not be
accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the Securities; it shall not be accountable
for any money paid to the Issuer, or upon the Issuer’s direction, if made under and in accordance
with any provision of this Indenture; it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any
money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee; and it shall not be responsible for any
statement of the Issuer in this Indenture or in the Securities other than its certificate of
authentication.

Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults.

     If a Default on a Series occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the
Trustee shall mail to each Holder of the Series notice of the Default (which shall specify any
uncured Default known to it) within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default in
payment of principal of or interest on a Series, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long
as the executive or any trust committee of the Trustee and/or responsible officers of the Trustee
in good faith determine(s) that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders of the
Series.

Section 7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders.

     Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the date of this
Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a brief report dated as of such May 15 that
complies with TIA §313(a) (but if no event described in TIA §313(a)(2) has occurred within the
twelve months preceding the reporting date no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall
comply with TIA §313(b) and §313(c).

     A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders shall be delivered to the Issuer
and filed by the Trustee with the SEC and each national securities exchange on which the Securities
are listed. The Issuer and the Company agree to notify the Trustee of each national securities
exchange on which the Securities are listed.

Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity.

     The Issuer and the Company shall pay to the Trustee or predecessor trustee from time to time
reasonable compensation for their respective services subject to any written agreement between the
Trustee and the Issuer and the Company. The Issuer and the Company shall reimburse the Trustee
upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it. Such expenses shall include
the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel. The Issuer and the
Company shall indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor trustee, its officers, directors,
employees and agents and hold it harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred or made
by or on behalf of it in connection with the administration of this Indenture or the trust
hereunder and its duties hereunder including the costs and expenses of defending itself against or
investigating any claim in the premises. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Company
promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. The Issuer and the Company need not
reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee through
the Trustee’s, or its officers’, directors’, employees’ or agents’ negligence or bad faith.

     To ensure the payment of obligations by the Issuer and the Company pursuant to this Section,
the Trustee shall have a claim prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected
by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of or interest on particular Securities.
When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default
specified in Section 6.01 or in connection with Article Six hereof, the expenses (including the
reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for services in connection
therewith are to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy law.

     The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Issuer and the Company. The Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the
Trustee to be removed in writing and may appoint a successor trustee with the Issuer’s consent.
Such resignation or removal shall not take effect until the appointment by the Holders or the
Issuer as hereinafter provided of a successor trustee and the acceptance of such appointment by
such successor trustee. The Issuer may or the Company may cause the Issuer to

remove the Trustee and any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
removal of the Trustee if:

          (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 after written request by the Issuer or any
bona fide Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months;

          (2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent;

          (3) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

          (4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

     If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any
reason, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor trustee. If a successor trustee does not
take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee,
the Issuer or any Holder may or the Company may cause the Issuer to petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.

     A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring
Trustee, the Issuer and the Company. Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer
all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee (subject to the prior claim provided by
Section 9.07). Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and any appointment of a successor
Trustee shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee. The
successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture.

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

Section 8.01 Defeasance upon Deposit of Moneys or U.S. Government Obligations.

- 32 -

 

     (a) The Issuer may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either paragraph (b) or
paragraph (c) below be applied to the outstanding Securities of any Series upon compliance with the
applicable conditions set forth in paragraph (d).

     (b) Upon the Issuer’s exercise under paragraph (a) of the option applicable to this paragraph
(b), the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have been released and discharged from their
respective obligations with respect to the outstanding Securities of a Series on the date the
applicable conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this
purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and discharged
the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Securities of a Series, which shall
thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of the Sections and matters under
this Indenture referred to in (i) and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations
under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned, except for the
following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of
Holders of outstanding Securities of a Series to receive solely from the trust fund described in
paragraph (d) below and as more fully set forth in such paragraph, payments in respect of the
principal of and interest on such Securities when such payments are due and (ii) obligations listed
in Section 8.02, subject to compliance with this Section. The Issuer may exercise its option under
this paragraph (b) notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under paragraph (c) below with
respect to such Securities.

     (c) Upon the Issuer’s exercise under paragraph (a) of the option applicable to this paragraph
(c), the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be released and discharged from the obligations under any
covenant contained in Article Five, Section 4.04 and any other covenant contained in the
Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture relating to such Series to the extent provided for
therein, on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant
Defeasance”), and the Securities of such Series shall thereafter be deemed to be not “outstanding”
for the purpose of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the
consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed
“outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means
that, with respect to the outstanding Securities of a Series, the Issuer may omit to comply with
and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such
covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such
covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any
other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default
under Section 6.01(3), but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such
Securities shall be unaffected thereby.

     (d) The following shall be the conditions to application of either paragraph (b) or paragraph
(c) above to the outstanding Securities of the applicable Series:

          (1) The Issuer shall have irrevocably deposited in trust with the Trustee, pursuant to an
irrevocable trust and security agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee, money in U.S. dollars or U.S. government obligations or a combination thereof which
through the payment of interest and principal thereof in accordance with their terms will provide
money in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on, and any mandatory sinking
fund payments in respect of the outstanding Securities of such

- 33 -

 

Series on the stated maturity of the payments, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture
and such Securities; provided, however, that the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) shall have
received an irrevocable written order from the Issuer instructing the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee) to apply such money or the proceeds of such U.S. government obligations to said payments
with respect to the Securities of such Series to maturity;

          (2) No Default or Event of Default and no event which, with notice or lapse of time, would
become an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit;

          (3) Such deposit will not result in a Default under this Indenture or a breach or violation
of, or constitute a default under, any other material instrument or agreement to which the Issuer,
the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of their property is bound;

          (4) (i) In the event the Issuer elects paragraph (b) hereof, the Issuer shall deliver to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Trustee, to the effect that (A) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published
by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the Issue Date pertaining to such Series,
there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect
that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall state that, or (ii) in the event the Issuer
elects paragraph (c) hereof, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the
United States, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that, in
the case of clauses (i) and (ii), Holders of the Securities of such Series will not recognize
income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and the defeasance
contemplated hereby and will be subject to federal income tax in the same amounts and in the same
manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not
occurred;

          (5) The Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate, stating that the
deposit under clause (1) was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders of
the Securities of such Series over any other creditors of the Issuer or with the intent of
defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the Issuer or others;

          (6) The Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee, to the effect that, (A) the trust funds will not be subject to the
rights of Holders of Indebtedness of the Issuer other than the Securities of such Series and (B)
assuming no intervening bankruptcy of the Company between the date of deposit and the 91st day
following the deposit and that no Holder of Securities of such Series is an insider of the Issuer,
after the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar law affecting creditors’ rights generally; and

          (7) The Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent specified herein relating to the defeasance
contemplated by this Section have been complied with. In the event all or any portion of the
Securities of a Series are to be redeemed through such irrevocable trust, the Issuer

- 34 -

 

must make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, at the time of such deposit, for the
giving of the notice of such redemption or redemptions by the Trustee in the name and at the
expense of the Issuer.

     (e) In addition to the Issuer’s rights above under this Section, the Issuer may terminate all
of its obligations under this Indenture with respect to a Series, and the obligations of the
Guarantors shall terminate with respect to such Series (subject to Section 8.02), when:

          (1) All Securities of such Series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than
Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as
provided in Section 2.07 and Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in
trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or
discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or all such
Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable
and the Issuer has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds
in trust solely for that purpose an amount of money sufficient to pay and discharge the entire
Indebtedness on the Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for
principal of and interest;

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

          (3) The Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited
money toward the payment of the Securities at maturity or redemption, as applicable; and

          (4) The Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, stating that all conditions precedent specified herein relating to the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

Section 8.02 Survival of the Issuer’s Obligations.

     Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture under Section 8.01, the
Issuer’s obligations in paragraph 9 of the Securities and Sections 2.03 through 2.07, 4.01, 7.07,
7.08, 8.04 and 8.05, however, shall survive until the Securities of an applicable Series are no
longer outstanding. Thereafter, the Issuer’s obligations in paragraph 9 of the Securities of such
Series and Sections 7.07, 8.04 and 8.05 shall survive (as they relate to such Series).

Section 8.03 Application of Trust Money.

     The Trustee shall hold in trust money or U.S. government obligations deposited with it
pursuant to Section 8.01. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S. government
obligations in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of principal of and interest on the
Securities of the defeased Series.

- 35 -

 

Section 8.04 Repayment to the Issuer.

     The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuer upon request any excess
money or securities held by them at any time. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the
Issuer upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains
unclaimed for two years, provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being
required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published once in
a newspaper of general circulation in the City of New York or mail to each such Holder 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 or mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money then
remaining will be repaid to the Issuer. After payment to the Issuer, Holders entitled to the money
must look to the Issuer or any Guarantor for payment as general creditors unless applicable
abandoned property law designates another Person and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying
Agent with respect to such money shall cease.

Section 8.05 Reinstatement.

     If the Trustee is unable to apply any money or U.S. government obligations in accordance with
Section 8.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court
or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the
Issuer’s and each Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities relating to the
Series shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.01
until such time as the Trustee is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. government obligations
in accordance with Section 8.01; provided, however, that (a) if the Issuer has made any payment of
interest on or principal of any Securities of the Series because of the reinstatement of their
obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to
receive such payment from the money or U.S. government obligations held by the Trustee and (b)
unless otherwise required by any legal proceeding or any order or judgment of any court or
governmental authority, the Trustee shall return all such money or U.S. government obligations to
the Issuer promptly after receiving a written request therefor at any time, if such reinstatement
of the Issuer’s obligations has occurred and continues to be in effect.

     Subject to any other provisions set forth in the Authorizing Resolution or supplemental
indenture relating to a particular Series, each Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby

“Guarantee”) to each Holder of Securities of such Series authenticated and delivered by the Trustee
and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns irrespective of the validity and enforceability
of this Indenture, that: (i) the principal of and interest on the Securities of such Series will be
promptly paid in full when due, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise and interest on the overdue principal, if any, and interest on any
interest of the Securities of such Series and all other obligations of the Issuer to the

otherwise, subject, however, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, to the limitations set
forth in Section 9.04. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be
unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities of such

any Holder of the Securities of such Series with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the
recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other
circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a
guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of
claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a
proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that,
subject to Section 9.03, this Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of
the obligations contained in the Securities of the applicable Series, this Indenture and in this
Guarantee. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the
Issuer or any Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in
relation to the Issuer or such Guarantor, any amount paid by the Issuer or such Guarantor to the
Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated
in full force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between each Guarantor, on the
one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations
guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six for the purposes of this Guarantee,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect
of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations
as provided in Article Six, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith
become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of this Guarantee.

Section 9.02 Severability.

     In case any provision of this Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the
validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby.

Section 9.03 Release of a Guarantor.

     (a) Any Guarantor other than the Company may be released from its Guarantee so long as (1) no
Default or Event of Default exists or would result from release of such Guarantee, (2) the
Guarantor being released has Consolidated Net Worth of less than 5% of the Company’s Consolidated
Net Worth as of the end of the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter, (3) the Guarantors released
from their Guarantees in any year-end period comprise in the aggregate less than 10% (or 15% if and
to the extent necessary to permit the cure of a Default) of the Company’s Consolidated Net Worth as
of the end of the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter, (4) such release would not have a material
adverse effect on the homebuilding business of the

- 37 -

 

Company and its Subsidiaries and (5) the Guarantor is released from its guaranty(ees) under
the Bank Credit Facilities; provided, that if such Guarantor subsequently provides a guarantee of
the Bank Credit Facilities, it shall comply with Section 4.04. If there are no guarantors under
the Bank Credit Facilities, Guarantors under this Indenture, other than the Company, will be
released from their Guarantees.

     (b) Unless the Company elects otherwise, a Subsidiary that is a Guarantor shall be deemed
automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all obligations under this Article
Nine upon the delivery of an Officer’s Certificate from each of the Issuer and the Company to the
Trustee that the terms and conditions of Section 9.03 have been satisfied and an Opinion of Counsel
of the Issuer and the Company to the Trustee that such release under the Bank Credit Facility is
effective, without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The
Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing any such release upon receipt of a
request by the Issuer and the Company. The Company and any Guarantor not released in accordance
with this Section shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the
Securities as provided in this Article Nine.

Section 9.04 Limitation of a Guarantor’s Liability.

     Each Guarantor and each Holder hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties
that the guarantee by the Guarantors pursuant to their Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act,
the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar Federal or state law. To effectuate the
foregoing intention, the Guarantors (other than the Company) and the Holders hereby irrevocably
agree that the obligations of such Guarantors under the Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum
amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such
Guarantors and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any
other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or
pursuant to Section 9.06, result in the obligations of such Guarantors under the Guarantee not
constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 9.05 Contribution.

     In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Guarantors, the Guarantors
agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any Guarantor (a “Funding
Guarantor”) under the Guarantee, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from
all other Guarantors in a pro rata amount based on the Adjusted Net Assets of each Guarantor
(including the Funding Guarantor) for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding
Guarantor in discharging the Issuer’s obligations with respect to any Securities or any other
Guarantor’s obligations with respect to the Guarantee. “Adjusted Net Assets” of such Guarantor at
any date shall mean the lesser of the amount by which (x) the fair value of the property of such
Guarantor exceeds the total amount of liabilities, including, without limitation, contingent
liabilities (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent liabilities incurred or assumed
on such date and after giving effect to any collection from any other Guarantor in respect of the
obligations of its Guarantee), but excluding liabilities under the Guarantee, of such Guarantor at
such date and (y) the present fair salable value of the assets of such Guarantor at such date
exceeds the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability

- 38 -

 

of such Guarantor on its debts (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent
liabilities incurred or assumed on such date and after giving effect to any collection from any
other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee), excluding
debt in respect of the Guarantee of such Guarantor, as they become absolute and matured. This
Section 9.05 shall be for the benefit of the Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors and does not
inure to the benefit of and may not be relied upon by any third party beneficiaries.

Section 9.06 Waiver of Subrogation.

     Until all guaranteed obligations under this Indenture and with respect to all Securities of an
applicable Series are paid in full, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other
rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Issuer that arise from the existence,
payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under the Guarantee and this
Indenture, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration,
indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Holder of Securities of
the applicable Series against the Issuer, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in
equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take
or receive from the Issuer, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in
any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount
shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Securities of the
applicable Series shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been
paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders of the
Securities of the applicable Series, and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of
such Holders to be credited and applied upon the Securities of the applicable Series, whether
matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Each Guarantor acknowledges
that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by
this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section is knowingly made in contemplation of
such benefits.

Section 9.07 Execution of Guarantee.

     To evidence their guarantee to the Holders set forth in this Article Nine, the Guarantors
hereby agree to execute the Guarantee in substantially the form included in Exhibit A or in any
such other form set forth in the Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture pertaining to the
applicable Series, which shall be endorsed on each Security ordered to be authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in this
Article Nine shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each
Security a notation of such Guarantee. Each such Guarantee shall be signed on behalf of each
Guarantor by two Officers, or an Officer and an Assistant Secretary or one Officer shall sign and
one Officer or an Assistant Secretary (each of whom shall, in each case, have been duly authorized
by all requisite corporate actions) shall attest to such Guarantee prior to the authentication of
the Security on which it is endorsed, and the delivery of such Security by the Trustee, after the
authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of such Guarantee on behalf of such
Guarantor. Such signatures upon the Guarantee may be by manual or facsimile signature of such
Officers and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Guarantee, and in case any such
Officer who shall have signed the Guarantee shall cease to be such Officer before the Security on
which such Guarantee is endorsed shall have been

- 39 -

 

authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Issuer, such Security
nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the Person who signed the
Guarantee had not ceased to be such Officer of the Company or the other Guarantor.

Section 10.02 With Consent of Holders.

     The Issuer and the Trustee, with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority of
the principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each such Series affected by the amendment,
may execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to, or changing or eliminating any of the
provisions of this Indenture or modifying the rights of the Holders of such Securities, except that
no such supplemental indenture may, without the consent of the Holders of each outstanding Security
affected by the supplemental indenture, among other things:

          (1) change the final maturity of the Securities, or reduce the rate or extend the time of
payment of interest, on the Securities, or reduce the principal amount of the Securities, or impair

- 41 -

 

     Subject to the following sentence, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Securities of any Series may, on behalf of the Holders of all such Securities of such
Series, waive any past default under this Indenture relating to such Series without notice to any
Holder. Without the consent of the Holder of a Securities affected, however, an amendment,
supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04, shall not be able to effect any
of the actions contemplated by clauses (1) — (6) of this Section. Each such Series shall vote as a
separate class.

     An amendment of a provision included solely for the benefit of one or more Series does not
affect the interests of Holders of any other Series.

     It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section to approve the
particular form of any proposed supplement, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the
substance thereof.

Section 10.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

     Every amendment to or supplement of this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA
as then in effect.

Section 10.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents.

     A consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver by a Holder shall bind the Holder and every
subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the
consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. Subject
to the following paragraph, any such Holder or subsequent Holder, however, may revoke the consent
as to his Security or portion of a Security. Such revocation shall be effective only if the
Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver
becomes effective.

     The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a Record Date for the purpose of
determining the Holders of Securities of any Series entitled to consent to any amendment,
supplement or waiver, which Record Date shall be at least 10 days prior to the first solicitation
of such consent. If a Record Date is fixed, then notwithstanding the last sentence of the
immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such Record Date (or their duly
designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously
given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such Record Date. No such consent
shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such Record Date.

     After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder, unless
it makes a change described in any of clauses (1) through (6) of Section 10.02, in which case, the
amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind only each Holder of a Security who has consented to it
and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as
the consenting Holder’s Security; provided that any such waiver shall not impair or affect the
right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on a Security, on or after the
respective due dates expressed in such Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such
payment on or after such respective dates without the consent of such Holder.

Section 10.05 Notation on or Exchange of Securities.

     If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security or a Guarantee, the
Issuer may or the Company may cause the Issuer to require the Holder of the Security or the
Guarantor, as applicable, to deliver such Security or Guarantee to the Trustee, at which time the
Trustee shall place an appropriate notation on the Security or Guarantee, as applicable, about the
changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Trustee or the Issuer so
determines or the Company causes the Issuer to so determine, the Issuer in exchange for the
Security or Guarantee, as applicable, shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security
that reflects the changed terms.

Section 10.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

     Subject to Section 7.02(b), the Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver
authorized pursuant to this Article if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely
affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may
but need not sign it. In signing or refusing to sign such amendment or supplemental indenture, the
Trustee shall be entitled to receive and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that such amendment or supplemental
indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, that it is not inconsistent herewith, and
that it will be valid and binding upon the Issuer in accordance with its terms.

ARTICLE ELEVEN

Conversion of Securities

Section 11.01 Applicability of Article.

     Securities of any Series which are convertible into Common Stock at the option of the Holder
shall be convertible in accordance with their terms and unless the Authorizing Resolution provides
otherwise, in accordance with this Article. Each reference in this Article Eleven to “a Security”
or “the Securities” refers to the Securities of the particular Series that is convertible into
Common Stock. If more than one Series of Securities with conversion privileges are outstanding at
any time, the provisions of this Article Eleven shall be applied separately to each such Series.

Section 11.02 Conversion Privilege.

     Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article Eleven, the Holder of any
Security so designated shall have the right, at its, his or her option, at any time prior to the
close of business on the date specified in the Securities of such Series (or if such Security or
portion thereof is called for redemption prior to such date, then in respect of such Security or
portion thereof to and including but not after the close of business on the second day (or, if such
day is not a Business Day, then on the next following Business Day) preceding the date fixed for
such redemption) to convert the principal amount of any such Security, or any portion of such
principal amount which is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, into that number of fully paid
and non-assessable shares of the Company’s Common Stock (calculated as to each conversion to the
nearest 1/100th of a share) obtained by dividing the principal amount of the Security or

- 43 -

 

portion thereof to be converted by the Conversion Price and by surrender of the Security so to
be converted in whole or in part, such surrender to be made in the manner provided in
Section 11.03. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, if the Issuer shall fail to redeem a
Security which has been called for redemption, the Holder of such Security shall retain the right
to convert such Security as provided in this Article Eleven.

Section 11.03 Manner of Exercise of Conversion Privilege.

     In order to exercise a conversion privilege, the Holder of any Security to be converted in
whole or in part shall surrender such Security at any of the offices or agencies to be maintained
for such purpose by the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.01, and shall give notice to the Issuer and
the Company in the form provided in the Security, duly executed, at such office or agency that the
Holder elects to convert such Security or the portion thereof specified in said notice. Such
notice shall also state the name or names, together with the address or addresses, in which the
certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable on such conversion
shall be issued. Each Security surrendered for conversion shall, unless the shares issuable on
conversion are to be issued in the same name as the name in which such Security is registered, be
accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the
Holder or its, his or her duly authorized attorney. Securities so surrendered during the period
from the close of business on a Record Date, or the next preceding Business Day if such Record Date
is not a Business Day, preceding any Interest Payment Date to the opening of business on such
Interest Payment Date (excluding Securities or portions thereof called for redemption during such
period) shall also be accompanied by payment in next-day funds or other funds acceptable to the
Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal
amount of such Security then being converted; provided, however, that, if the Issuer shall default
on the payment of said interest, said funds shall be returnable to the payor thereof. As promptly
as practicable after the surrender of such Security, as aforesaid, the Company shall issue and
shall deliver at such office or agency to such Holder, or on its, his or her written order, a
certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion of such Security or portion thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Article
Eleven and any fractional interest in respect of a share of Common Stock arising upon such
conversion shall be settled as provided in Section 11.04. In case any Security of a denomination
greater than $1,000 shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Issuer and the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder of the
Security so surrendered, at the expense of the Issuer, a new Security or Securities and Guarantee
or Guarantees in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted
portion of the surrendered Security. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected
immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which such Security shall have been
surrendered and such notice received by the Issuer and the Company as aforesaid, and the Person or
Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be
issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the
shares represented thereby at such time and such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in
effect at such time, unless the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed on that date,
in which event such Person or Persons shall be deemed to have become such holder or holders of
record at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are
open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the date upon which such
Security shall have been surrendered and

- 44 -

 

such notice received by the Issuer and the Company. Subject to the aforesaid requirement for
a payment in the event of conversion after the close of business on a Record Date preceding an
Interest Payment Date, no payment or adjustment shall be made on conversion for interest accrued on
the Securities surrendered for conversion or for dividends on the Common Stock delivered on such
conversion.

Section 11.04 Payment in Lieu of Fractional Shares.

     No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Securities.
Instead of any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock which would otherwise be deliverable
upon the conversion of any Security or Securities, the Issuer and/or the Company shall make an
adjustment therefor to the nearest 1/100th of a share in cash at the Current Market Price thereof
at the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the day of conversion. If more than
one Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full
shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal
amount of the Securities, or specified portions thereof to be converted, so surrendered.

Section 11.05 Adjustment of Conversion Price.

     The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

     (a) In case the Company shall hereafter (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its
Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into
a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller
number of shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of Capital Stock
of the Company, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted
so that the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to
receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other Capital Stock of the Company which it, he or
she would have owned immediately following such action had such Security been converted immediately
prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective
immediately after the Record Date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become
effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or
reclassification. If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the
Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive
shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock or shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of
the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described
in a statement filed with the Trustee and with the Registrar) shall determine in an equitable
manner the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between or among shares of such classes of
Capital Stock or shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock.

     (b) In case the Company shall hereafter issue rights or warrants to holders of its outstanding
shares of Common Stock generally entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the
Record Date mentioned below) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per
share less than the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the Record Date mentioned
below, the Conversion Price of the shares of Common Stock shall be

- 45 -

 

adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price
in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights or warrants by a fraction of
which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of
issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of
the total number of shares so offered would purchase at such Current Market Price, and of which the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of
such rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for
subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Record Date
for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants.

     (c) In case the Company shall hereafter distribute to holders of its outstanding Common Stock
generally evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding any cash dividend paid from retained
earnings of the Company and dividends or distributions payable in stock for which adjustment is
made pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 11.05) or rights or warrants to subscribe to
securities of the Company (excluding those referred to in subsection (b) of this Section 11.05),
then in each such case the Conversion Price of the shares of Common Stock shall be adjusted so that
the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately
prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current
Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the Record Date mentioned below less the then fair
market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and
shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee and with the Registrar) of the portion of
the evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed to the holder of one share of Common Stock
or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which
the denominator shall be such Current Market Price per share of Common Stock. Such adjustment
shall become effective immediately after the Record Date for the determination of shareholders
entitled to receive such distribution.

     (d) In any case in which this Section 11.05 shall require that an adjustment be made
immediately following a Record Date, the Company may elect to defer (but only until five Business
Days following the filing by the Issuer with the Trustee and the Registrar of the certificate of
independent public accountants described in subsection (f) of this Section 11.05) issuing to the
Holder of any Security converted after such Record Date the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
such conversion over and above the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion on the
basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment.

     (e) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would
require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of such price; provided, however, that any
adjustments which by reason of this subsection (e) are not required to be made shall be carried
forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment, and provided further that adjustment
shall be required and made in accordance with the provisions of this Article Eleven (other than
this subsection (e)), not later than such time as may be required in order to preserve the tax-free
nature of a distribution to the holders of Securities or Common Stock. All calculations under this
Section 11.05 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case
may be. Anything in this Section 11.05 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be
entitled to make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by this
Section 11.05, as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock
dividend, subdivision of shares, distribution of rights to purchase stock or

- 46 -

 

securities, or distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock hereafter
made by the Company to its shareholders shall not be taxable.

     (f) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, (i) the Issuer and the
Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and the Registrar a certificate of a firm of
independent public accountants setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting
forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the manner of computing the
same, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment and (ii)
a notice stating that the Conversion Price has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted
Conversion Price shall forthwith be given by the Issuer and the Company to the Holders in the
manner provided in Section 12.02. Subject to TIA Section 315(a), (c) and (d), the Trustee and any
conversion agent shall be under no duty or responsibility with respect to any such certificate or
the certificate provided for in Section 11.10 except to exhibit the same from time to time to any
Holder of a Security desiring an inspection of such certificate.

     (g) In the event that at any time as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to subsection (a)
of this Section 11.05, the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall
become entitled to receive any shares of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter
the Conversion Price of such other shares so receivable upon conversion of any Security shall be
subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as
practicable to the provisions with respect to Common Stock contained in this Article Eleven.

Section 11.06 Notice of Certain Corporate Action.

     In the event:

     (a) the Company shall take any action which would require an adjustment in the Conversion
Price pursuant to Section 11.05(c); or

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

     (c) there shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock (other
than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding Common Stock and other than a change in the
par value of the Common Stock), or any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party or
any statutory exchange of securities with another corporation and for which approval of any
shareholders of the Company is required, or any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company; or

     (d) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the
Company; then the Issuer and the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and the
Registrar, and shall cause to be given to the Holders, in the manner provided in Section 12.02, at
least 14 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (i) the date on
which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such distribution or rights, or, if a record is
not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such
distribution or rights are to be determined, or (ii) the date on which such reorganization,

- 47 -

 

reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of
Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or
other property deliverable upon such reorganization, 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 the proceedings described in subsection (a),
(b), (c) or (d) of this Section 11.06.

Section 11.07 Company to Provide Stock.

     The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available, free from
preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or
its issued shares of Common Stock held in its treasury, or both, for the purpose of effecting
conversions of Securities, the full number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the
conversion of all outstanding Securities not theretofore converted. For purposes of this
Section 11.07, the number of shares of Common Stock which shall be deliverable upon the conversion
of all outstanding Securities shall be computed as if at the time of computation all outstanding
Securities were held by a single Holder.

     Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below
the then par value (if any) of the shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversions of the
Securities, the Company will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be
necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable
shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price.

     The Company will endeavor to list the shares of Common Stock required to be delivered upon
conversion of Securities prior to such delivery upon each national securities exchange, if any,
upon which the outstanding Common Stock is listed at the time of such delivery.

     Prior to the delivery of any securities which the Company shall be obligated to deliver upon
conversion of the Securities, the Company will endeavor to comply with all federal and state laws
and regulations thereunder requiring the registration of such securities with, or any approval of
or consent to the delivery thereof by, any governmental authority.

Section 11.08 Taxes on Conversions.

     The Issuer and/or the Company will pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or
transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversions
of Securities pursuant hereto; provided, however, that neither the Issuer nor the Company shall be
required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue or
delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder of the Securities to be
converted and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such
issue or delivery has paid to the Issuer and/or the Company the amount of any such tax or has
established, to the satisfaction of the Issuer and the Company, that such tax has been paid.

Section 11.09 Covenant as to Stock.

- 48 -

 

     The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which may be delivered upon conversions
of Securities will upon delivery be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable, free
of all liens and charges and not subject to any preemptive rights.

Section 11.10 Consolidation or Merger.

     Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, in case of any consolidation or
merger to which the Company is a party other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is
the continuing corporation, or in case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the
property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, or in the case of any
statutory exchange of securities with another corporation (including any exchange effected in
connection with a merger of a third corporation into the Company), there shall be no adjustments
under Section 11.05 but the Holder of each Security then outstanding shall have the right
thereafter to convert such Security into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property
which he would have owned or have been entitled to receive immediately after such consolidation,
merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance had such Security been converted immediately prior
to the effective date of such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance and in
any such case, if necessary, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the
provisions set forth in this Article Eleven with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of
the Holders of the Securities, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Article Eleven
shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, in relation to
any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the conversion of the
Securities. Any such adjustment shall be made by and set forth in a supplemental indenture
executed by the Issuer, the Company and the Trustee and approved by a firm of independent public
accountants, evidenced by a certificate to that effect; and any adjustment so approved shall for
all purposes hereof conclusively be deemed to be an appropriate adjustment.

     The above provisions of this Section 11.10 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations,
mergers, statutory exchanges, sales or conveyances.

     The Issuer shall give notice of the execution of such a supplemental indenture to the Holders
of Securities in the manner provided in Section 12.02 within 30 days after the execution thereof.

     The Trustee shall not be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any
provisions contained in such supplemental indenture relating either to the kind or amount of shares
of stock or securities or property receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their Securities
after any such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance, or to any adjustment
to be made with respect thereto.

Section 11.11 Disclaimer of Responsibility for Certain Matters.

     Neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall at any time be under any duty or responsibility to
any Holder of Securities to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of
the Conversion Price, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or
with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any

- 49 -

 

supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. Neither the Trustee nor
the Registrar shall be accountable with respect to the listing or registration referred to in
Section 11.07 or 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 neither the Trustee nor the Registrar makes any representation with respect thereto.
Neither the Trustee nor the Registrar 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 to make any cash payment upon the surrender of any Security for the purpose of
conversion or, subject to TIA Section 315(a), (c) and (d), to comply with any of the covenants
contained in this Article Eleven.

[                                          ]

[Title of Security], Series A

1. Interest.

     [                                                    ] (the “Issuer”), a [         
          ]
corporation, promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per
annum shown above. The Issuer will pay interest semiannually on __________and
__________of each year, commencing on __________, until the principal is paid or made
available for payment. Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which
interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from __________,
20 , provided that, if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest and if this
Security is authenticated between a Record Date referred to on the face hereof and the next
succeeding interest payment date, interest shall accrue from such interest payment date. Interest
will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

2. Method of Payment.

     The Issuer will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest, if any, which will
be paid on such special payment date to Holders of record on such special Record Date as may be
fixed by the Issuer) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Securities at the close of
business on the [Insert Record Dates] (capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings given
to those terms in the Indenture). Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect
principal payments. The Issuer will pay principal and interest in money of the United States that
at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

3. Paying Agent and Registrar.

     Initially, [                      ] (the “Trustee”) will act as Paying Agent and
Registrar. The Issuer may change or appoint any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without
notice. [                      ] (the “Company”) or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates may act as
Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar.

4. Indenture.

     The Issuer issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of [                      ]
(“Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Company, the other Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of
the Securities and the Guarantee include those stated in the Indenture (including those terms set
forth in the Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture pertaining to the Securities of the
Series of which this Security is a part) and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the
Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (“TIA”) as in effect on the date of the Indenture. The Securities and
the Guarantee are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA
for a statement of them.

     The Issuer will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the
Indenture and the applicable Authorizing Resolutions or supplemental indenture. Requests

 

 

may be made to: [                                                 ], c/o
[                                                 ],
[                                                 ], Attention: Chief Financial Officer.

     5. Optional Redemption.2

          The Issuer may redeem the Securities at any time on or after __________, __________, in whole or
in part, at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of their principal amount)
together with interest accrued and unpaid to the date fixed for redemption:

If redeemed during the twelve-month period commencing on __________
and ending on __________in each of the following years Percentage

[Insert provisions relating to redemption at option of Holders, if any]

          If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities to
be redeemed, if the Securities are listed on a national securities exchange, in accordance with the
rules of such exchange, or if the Securities are not so listed, on either a pro rata basis or by
lot or by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. The Trustee shall make the
selection from Securities outstanding and not previously called for redemption. Securities in
denominations of $1,000 may only be redeemed in whole. The Trustee may select for redemption
portions (equal to $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal of Securities that
have denominations larger than $1,000. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not
more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed at
the registered address of such Holder. On and after the redemption dates interest ceases to accrue
on the Securities or portions thereof called for redemption, provided that if the Issuer shall
default in the payment of such Securities at the redemption price together with accrued interest,
interest shall continue to accrue at the rate borne by the Securities.

6. Mandatory Redemption.3

          The Issuer shall redeem __________% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities originally issued
under the Indenture on each of __________, which redemptions are calculated to retire __________% of the
Securities originally issued prior to maturity. Such redemptions shall be made at a redemption
price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest to the
redemption date. The Issuer may reduce the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed pursuant
to this Paragraph 6 by the principal amount of any Securities previously redeemed, retired or
acquired, otherwise than pursuant to this Paragraph 6, that the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation and not previously credited to the Issuer’s obligations under this Paragraph 6.
Each such Security shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption
price and the amount of such mandatory redemption payment shall be reduced accordingly.

	3	 	If applicable.

 

 

     7. Registration Rights Agreement.

     The Holder of this Security is entitled to the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement, dated
as of [__________], among the Issuer, the Company and the Initial Purchasers named therein (as such
may be amended from time to time, the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Capitalized terms used in
this Section but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Registration Rights
Agreement. If (i) within [___] days after the Issue Date, the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement has not been filed with the Commission; (ii) within [___]days after the Issue Date, the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement has not been declared effective; (iii) within [___] days
after Exchange Offer Registration Statement has been declared effective, the Exchange Offer has not
been consummated; (iv) within the latter of [___] days after the Issue Date or the [___]the day
after obligation of the Issuer and the Company to file the Shelf Registration Statement arises, the
Shelf Registration Statement has not been filed; (v) within [___] days after the Issue Date(or [___]
days after request by any Initial Purchaser) the Shelf Registration Statement has not been declared
effective; (vi) after the Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective the Issuer and
the Company fail to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective for a period of
two years (subject to the exceptions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement) in connection
with resales of Securities, the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities in
accordance with and during the periods specified in Sections [2] and [3] of the Registration Rights
Agreement and (vii) the effective Exchange Securities Registration Statement ceases to be effective
or usable for the periods specified in the Registration Rights Agreement (each such event referred
to in clauses (i) through (vii), a “Registration Default”), additional interest (“Additional
Interest”) will accrue on the Securities, the Exchange Securities and the Private Exchange
Securities from and including the date on which any such Registration Default shall occur to but
excluding the date on which all Registration Defaults have been cured. Additional Interest will
accrue at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities
during the 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of any Registration Default and shall
increase by 0.25% per annum for each subsequent 90-day period during which such Registration
Default continues, but in no event shall such Additional Interest exceed 0.[___]% per annum.

8. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange.

     The Securities are in registered form only without coupons in denominations of
$1,0004 and integral multiples of $1,000. A Holder may transfer or exchange Securities
by presentation of such Securities to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register
the transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other
denominations. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by
the Indenture. The Registrar need not transfer or exchange any Security selected for redemption,
except the unredeemed part thereof if the Security is redeemed in part, or transfer or exchange any
Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of Securities to be redeemed.

 

			
	4	 	If applicable. Insert different or additional denominations and multiples.

 

 

9. Persons Deemed Owners.

     The registered Holder of this Security shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

10. Unclaimed Money.

     If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee
or Paying Agent will pay the money back to the Issuer at its request. After that, Holders entitled
to the money must look to the Issuer for payment unless an abandoned property law designates
another Person.

11. Amendment, Supplement, Waiver.

     Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Guarantee or the Securities may be amended
or supplemented by the Issuer with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Securities and any past default or compliance with any provision relating
to the Securities may be waived in a particular instance with the consent of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities. Without the consent of any Holder, the
Issuer may amend or supplement the Indenture, the Guarantee or the Securities to cure any
ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, (provided such action does not adversely affect the

[Title of Security]

1. Interest.

     [                                  ] (the “Issuer”), a [                 ] corporation,
promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown
above. The Issuer will pay interest semiannually on __________and __________of each
year, commencing on __________until the principal is paid or made available for payment.
Interest on the Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or
duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from __________, 20 , provided that, if
there is no existing Default in the payment of interest and if this Security is authenticated
between a Record Date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding interest payment date,
interest shall accrue from such interest payment date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

2. Method of Payment.

     The Issuer will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest, if any, which will
be paid on such special payment date to Holders of record on such special Record Date as may be
fixed by the Issuer) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Securities at the close of
business on the [Insert Record Dates] immediately preceding the interest payment date (capitalized
terms not defined herein have the meanings given to those terms in the Indenture). Holders must
surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuer will pay principal
and interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment
of public and private debts.

3. Paying Agent and Registrar.

     Initially, [                                  ] (the “Trustee”) will act as Paying Agent and
Registrar. The Issuer may change or appoint any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without
notice. [                                  ] (the “Company”) or any of its Subsidiaries or any of
their Affiliates may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar.

4. Indenture.

     The Issuer issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of
[                               ] (“Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Company , the other
Guarantors and the Trustee. This Security is either one of the duly authorized Exchange Securities
or one of the duly authorized Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, of the Issuer
designated as its [ ]% Senior Notes due [ ] (the “Exchange Securities” and the “Private Exchange
Securities”, respectively). The terms of the Securities and the Guarantee include those stated in
the B-2 Indenture (including those terms set forth in the Authorizing Resolution or supplemental
indenture pertaining to the Securities of the Series of which this Security is a part) and those
made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (“TIA”) as in effect on
the date of the Indenture. The Securities and the Guarantee are subject to all such terms, and
Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. The Issuer will furnish
to any Holder upon

 

 

written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture and the applicable Authorizing
Resolution or supplemental indenture. Requests may be made to:
[                                          ], c/o [                                  ],
[                                  ], Attention: Chief Financial Officer.

5. Optional Redemption.6

     The Issuer may redeem the Securities at any time on or after __________, __________, in whole or
in part, at the following redemption prices (expressed as a percentage of their principal amount)
together with interest accrued and unpaid to the date fixed for redemption: If redeemed during the
twelve-month period commencing on __________ and ending
on __________ in each of the following
years Percentage [Insert provisions relating to redemption at option of Holders, if any] If less
than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed,
if the Securities are listed on a national securities exchange, in accordance with the rules of
such exchange, or if the Securities are not so listed, on either a pro rata basis or by lot or by
such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. The Trustee shall make the selection
from Securities outstanding and not previously called for redemption. Securities in denominations
of $1,000 may only be redeemed in whole. The Trustee may select for redemption portions (equal to
$1,000 or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal of Securities that have denominations
larger than $1,000. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days
before the redemption date to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed at the registered
address of such Holder. On and after the redemption dates interest ceases to accrue on the
Securities or portions thereof called for redemption, provided that if the Issuer shall default in
the payment of such Securities at the redemption price together with accrued interest, interest
shall continue to accrue at the rate borne by the Securities.

6. Mandatory Redemption.7

     The
Issuer shall redeem ___ % of the aggregate principal amount of Securities originally issued
under the Indenture on each of __________, which redemptions are calculated to retire ___% of the
Securities originally issued prior to maturity. Such redemptions shall be made at a redemption
price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest to the
redemption date. The Issuer may reduce the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed pursuant
to this Paragraph 6 by the principal amount of any Securities previously redeemed, retired or
acquired, otherwise than pursuant to this Paragraph 6, that the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation and not previously credited to the Issuer’s obligations under this Paragraph 6.
Each such Security shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the redemption
price and the amount of such mandatory redemption payment shall be reduced accordingly.

7. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange.

 

			
	6	 	If applicable.
	 
	7	 	If applicable.

 

 

The Securities are in registered form only without coupons in denominations of $1,0008
and integral multiples of $1,000. A Holder may transfer or exchange Securities by presentation of
such Securities to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to
exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other denominations. The Registrar may
require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents
and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not
transfer or exchange any Security selected for redemption, except the unredeemed part thereof if
the Security is redeemed in part, or transfer or exchange any Securities for a period of 15 days
before a selection of Securities to be redeemed. 8. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of
this Security shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

9. Unclaimed Money.

     If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee
or Paying Agent will pay the money back to the Issuer at its request. After that, Holders entitled
to the money must look to the Issuer for payment unless an abandoned property law designates
another Person.

10. Amendment, Supplement, Waiver.

     Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Guarantee or the Securities may be amended
or supplemented by the Issuer with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Securities and any past default or compliance with any provision relating
to the Securities may be waived in a particular instance with the consent of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities. Without the consent of any Holder, the
Issuer may amend or supplement the Indenture, the Guarantee or the Securities to cure any
ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, (provided such action does not adversely affect the
rights of the Holders), to evidence the succession of another Person to the Issuer or any
Guarantor, to add covenants of the Issuer or of the Guarantors under Article Four of the Indenture
for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender rights or powers conferred upon the Issuer or the
Guarantors by the Indenture, to add Events of Default for the benefit of the Holders, to change or

acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee or facilitate the administration of the trusts
under the Indenture by more than one Trustee, to close the Indenture as to authentication and
delivery of additional Securities, to supplement Indenture provisions to permit or facilitate
defeasance and discharge of the Securities, (provided such action does not adversely affect the
rights of the Holders), to provide that specific Indenture provisions shall not apply to an
unissued Series of Securities, to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place
of certificated Securities, to create a Series and establish its terms, to remove a Guarantor,
other than the Company, which, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, ceases to be liable
in respect of the Guarantee, or to make any other change, (provided such action does not adversely
affect the rights of any Holder).
