delivered, the Issuer has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Supplemental
Indenture;

     WHEREAS, the Notes are a series of Securities (as that term is defined in the Indenture) and
are being issued under the Indenture, as supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture, and are
subject to the terms contained therein and herein;

     WHEREAS, the Notes are to be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in order to declare the terms and conditions upon which the Notes are
executed, registered, authenticated, issued and delivered, and in consideration of the foregoing
premises and the purchase of such Notes by the holders thereof, the Issuer and the Trustee mutually
covenant and agree, for the equal and proportionate benefit of the holders from time to time of the
Notes, as follows:

     Section 1. Definitions. Terms used in this Supplemental Indenture and not defined
herein shall have the respective meanings given such terms in the Indenture. As used in this
Supplemental Indenture, unless a different meaning clearly appears from the context, the following
terms shall have the meanings indicated below:

 

 

     “Book-Entry Notes” means those Notes for which a Securities Depository or its nominee
is the holder.

     “Letter of Representations” means (i) the Blanket Letter of Representations dated
December 6, 2002, executed by the Issuer and delivered to the Securities Depository and any
amendments thereto, (ii) any successor blanket agreements between the Issuer and any successor
Securities Depository, relating to a book-entry system to be maintained by the Securities
Depository with respect to any bonds, notes or other obligations issued by the Issuer, including
the Book-Entry Notes, or (iii) any successor agreements between the Issuer and the Trustee and any
successor Securities Depository, relating to a book-entry system to be maintained by the Securities
Depository with respect to the Notes.

     “Securities Depository” means a Person that is registered as a clearing agency under
Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or whose business is confined to the performance
of the functions of a clearing agency with respect to exempted securities, as defined in Section
3(a)(12) of such Act for the purposes of Section 17A thereof.

     Section 2. Creation and Authorization of Series. There is hereby created and
authorized the series of Notes entitled the “6.80% Notes Due 2036,” which shall be a series limited
initially to $254,589,000 in aggregate principal amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing initial
aggregate principal amount, the Issuer may, without the consent of the holders of the Notes, reopen
this series of Notes and issue an unlimited amount of additional notes having the same ranking,
interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes; provided, that, the Issuer may reopen
this series of Notes only if the additional notes issued will be fungible with the Notes for United
States federal income tax purposes. Any such additional notes, together with the Notes, will be
consolidated with and constitute a single series of Securities under the Indenture.

     Section 3. Certain Provisions Applicable to the Series.

     (a) Except as otherwise set forth herein and in the Notes, the terms of the Notes shall be as
set forth in the Indenture, including those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939. Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939
for a statement of such terms.

     (b) The Notes shall include all of the terms in the form of the Notes attached hereto as
Exhibit A.

     (c) The provisions of Section 10.5 of the Indenture entitled “Mandatory and Optional Sinking
Funds” shall not be applicable to the Notes.

     Section 4. Securities Depository Provisions. The Notes shall be issued initially as
Book-Entry Notes. All Book-Entry Notes shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee
of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). The Issuer has executed and delivered a Letter of
Representations to DTC. All payments of principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on
the Book-Entry Notes and all notices with respect thereto, including notices of full or partial
redemption, shall be made and given at the times and in the manner set out in the Letter of
Representations. The terms and provisions of the Letter of Representations shall govern in the
event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Indenture and the Letter

2

 

of Representations. The Letter of Representations may be amended without consent of the
holders of the Notes.

     The book-entry registration system for all of the Book-Entry Notes may be terminated and
certificates delivered to and registered in the name of the beneficial owners of the Book-Entry
Notes, under either of the following circumstances:

	 	(a)	 	DTC notifies the Issuer and the Trustee that it is no longer willing or able to
act as Securities Depository for the Book-Entry Notes and a successor Securities
Depository for the Book-Entry Notes is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days; or
	 
	 	(b)	 	The Issuer determines that the Book-Entry Notes are exchangeable.

     If a successor Securities Depository is appointed by the Issuer, the Book-Entry Notes will be
registered in the name of such successor Securities Depository or its nominee. If certificates are
required to be issued to beneficial owners of the Book-Entry Notes, the Trustee and the Issuer
shall be fully protected in relying upon a certificate of DTC or any DTC participant as to the
identity of and the principal amount of Book-Entry Notes held by such beneficial owners.

     The beneficial owners of the Book-Entry Notes will not receive physical delivery of
certificates except as provided in this Supplemental Indenture. For so long as there is a
Securities Depository for the Notes, all of such Notes shall be registered in the name of the
nominee of the Securities Depository, all transfers of beneficial ownership interests in such Notes
will be made in accordance with the rules of the Securities Depository, and no investor or other
party purchasing, selling or otherwise transferring beneficial ownership of such Notes is to
receive, hold or deliver any certificate. The Issuer and the Trustee shall have no responsibility
or liability for transfers of beneficial ownership interests in such Notes.

     The Issuer and the Trustee will recognize the Securities Depository or its nominee as the
holder of the Book-Entry Notes for all purposes, including receipt of payments, notices and voting;
provided the Trustee may recognize votes by or on behalf of beneficial owners as if such votes were
made by holders of a related portion of the Notes when such votes are received in compliance with
an omnibus proxy of the Securities Depository or otherwise pursuant to the rules of the Securities
Depository or the provisions of the Letter of Representations or other comparable evidence
delivered to the Trustee by the holders of the Notes.

     With respect to a Book-Entry Note, the Issuer and the Trustee shall be entitled to treat the
Person in whose name such Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for all purposes of
the Indenture, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility or obligation
to any beneficial owner of such Note. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, neither
the Issuer nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility or obligation with respect to (a) the
accuracy of the records of any Securities Depository or any other Person with respect to any
ownership interest in Book-Entry Notes, (b) the delivery to any Person, other than a holder of the
Notes, of any notice with respect to Book-Entry Notes, including any notice of redemption or
refunding, (c) the selection of the particular Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed or refunded
in the event of a partial redemption or refunding of part of the Notes

3

 

Outstanding or (d) the payment to any Person, other than a holder of the Notes, of any amount
with respect to the principal of, redemption premium, if any, or interest on the Book-Entry Notes.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.2 of the Indenture, in the event of a partial
redemption of the Notes in accordance with the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture, the
Securities Depository for Book-Entry Notes shall select Notes for redemption according to its
stated procedures. In selecting Book-Entry Notes for redemption, each Note shall be considered as
representing that number of Notes which is obtained by dividing the principal amount of such Note
by the minimum authorized denomination.

     Section 5. Effect of Supplemental Indenture. The provisions of this Supplemental
Indenture are intended to supplement those of the Indenture as in effect immediately prior to the
execution and delivery hereof. The Indenture shall remain in full force and effect except to the
extent that the provisions of the Indenture are expressly modified by the terms of this
Supplemental Indenture.

     Section 6. Governing Law. This Supplemental Indenture shall be deemed to be a
contract under the laws of the State of New York, and for all purposes shall be construed in
accordance with the laws of such State, except as may otherwise be required by mandatory provisions
of law.

     Section 7. Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Notes. The recitals
contained herein shall be taken as statements of the Issuer, and the Trustee assumes no
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture or of the Notes other than with respect to the Trustee’s
authentication and execution. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by
the Issuer of the Notes or the proceeds thereof.

     Section 8. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits,
qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 that is required under
such Act to be a part of and govern this Supplemental Indenture, the latter provisions shall
control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939 that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to
apply to this Supplemental Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

     Section 9. Counterparts. This Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original for all purposes; and all such
counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

REVERSE OF SECURITY

GOODRICH CORPORATION

6.80% NOTES DUE 2036

     This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called
the “Securities”) issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of May
1, 1991, between the Company and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as successor trustee
(herein called the “Trustee”) and the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 22, 2006,
between the Company and the Trustee (collectively, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and all
indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights,
limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee
and the holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be,
authenticated and delivered. This Security is one of a series designated on the face hereof
limited initially to $254,589,000 in aggregate principal amount. The separate series of Securities
may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear
interest, if any, at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any),
may be subject to different sinking or purchase funds (if any), may be subject to different
repayment provisions (if any), may be subject to different covenants and Events of Default and may
otherwise vary as provided in the Indenture. The Indenture further provides that the Securities of
a single series may be issued at various times, with different maturity dates, may bear interest,
if any, at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any), may be
subject to different sinking or purchase funds (if any) and may be subject to different repayment
provisions (if any).

     Any payment required to be made with respect to this Security on a day that is not a Business
Day need not be made on such day, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same
force and effect as if made on such day, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after
such date to the date of payment.

     This Security is redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time from time to time, at the option
of the Company, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of
the Security and (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal
and interest thereon (not including any portion of any payment of interest accrued to the
redemption date) discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points, plus, in each case,
accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.

     “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the
Reference Treasury Dealer as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Securities
of the series to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance
with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable
maturity to the remaining term of such Securities.

     “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date for the Securities of
this series, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date,
after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer

A-4

 

Quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations, the average of all Reference Treasury Deal Quotations.

     “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) Banc of America Securities LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities
Inc., Calyon Securities (USA) Inc., Harris Nesbitt Corp. and Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC (or
their respective affiliates which are Primary Treasury Dealers(as defined below)) and the
respective successors of each of the foregoing; provided, however, that if any of the foregoing
shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury
Dealer”), Goodrich will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (ii) any other Primary
Treasury Dealer selected by Goodrich.

     “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer
and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for
the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount)
quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.

     “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date for the Securities of this series,
the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury
Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its
principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date. The Treasury
Rate shall be calculated on the third Business Day preceding the redemption date.

     In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this
series for the unredeemed portion hereof having the same interest rate and maturity as this
Security will be issued in the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.

     Except as set forth above, the Securities of this series will not be redeemable by the Company
prior to maturity and will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund.

     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be
continuing, then the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount
(calculated as provided in the Indenture) of the Securities of this series then Outstanding may
declare the principal of the Securities of this series and accrued interest thereon, if any, to be
due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment or
supplementing thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the
rights of the holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any
time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in
aggregate principal amount (calculated as provided in the Indenture) of the Securities at the time
Outstanding of all series to be affected (all such series voting as a single class). The Indenture
also contains provisions permitting the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal
amount (calculated as provided in the Indenture) of the Securities of each series at the time
Outstanding, on behalf of the holders of all Securities of such series, to waive certain past
defaults or Events of Default under the Indenture and the consequences of any such defaults or

A-5

 

Events of Default. Any such consent or waiver by the holder of this Security (unless revoked
as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future
holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon
this Security.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture
shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay
the principal of and interest, if any, on this Security at the times, place, and rate, if any, and
in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

     The Securities of this series are being issued by means of a book-entry system with no
physical distribution of note certificates to be made except as provided in the Indenture. As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, the transfer of
this Security is registrable in the Security register, upon due presentment of this Security for
registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of
and interest, if any, on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security registrar duly executed
by, the holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new
Securities of this series, having the same interest rate and maturity and bearing interest from the
same date as this Security, of any authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal
amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the Indenture and
subject to certain limitations set forth therein, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a
like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series of a different authorized denomination
having the same interest rate and maturity and bearing interest from the same date as such
Securities, as requested by the holder surrendering the same.

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

     Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the
Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be
overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon, and neither the
Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. All payments
made to or upon the order of such registered holder, shall, to the extent of the sum or sums paid,
effectually satisfy and discharge liability for monies payable on this Security.

     No recourse for the payment of the principal of or interest, if any, on this Security, or for
any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, and no recourse under or upon any
obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in the Indenture or any indenture supplement
thereto or in any Security, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby,
shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, official or director, as such, past, present,
or

A-6

 

future, of the Company or of any successor entity, either directly or through the Company or
any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the
enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance
hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

     The Holders of the Securities are entitled to the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement,
dated June 22, 2006 between the Company and Banc of America Securities LLC, as the representative
for the several dealer managers, including the receipt of Special Interest upon a Registration
Default (as defined in such agreement). The Company shall make payments of Special Interest in
accordance with the provisions set forth herein for the payment of regular interest.

     All terms used in this Security and not otherwise defined herein which are defined in the
Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

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

issuance of the Securities, shall file with the Commission the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement with respect to the Registered Exchange Offer. The Company shall use its reasonable best
efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities
Act within 180 days after the date of the original issuance of the Securities.

          (b) Upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Company shall
(i) commence the Registered Exchange Offer, it being the objective of such Registered Exchange
Offer to enable each Holder electing to exchange Securities for Exchange Securities (assuming that
such Holder is not an affiliate of the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, acquires
the Exchange Securities in the ordinary course of such Holder’s business and has no arrangements
with any person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Securities) to trade such
Exchange Securities from and after their receipt without any limitations or restrictions under the
Securities Act and without material restrictions under the securities laws of a substantial
proportion of the several states of the United States and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to
issue, promptly after the expiration of such Registered Exchange Offer, the Exchange Securities in
exchange for all Securities validly tendered prior to the expiration of such Registered Exchange
Offer.

          (c) In connection with the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company shall:

     (i) mail to each Holder a copy of the Prospectus forming part of the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement, together with an appropriate letter of transmittal and related
documents;

     (ii) keep the Registered Exchange Offer open for not less than 30 days after the date
notice thereof is mailed to the Holders (or longer if required by applicable law);

     (iii) utilize the services of a depositary for the Registered Exchange Offer with an
address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York; and

     (iv) comply in all material respects with all applicable laws.

     (d) As soon as practicable after the close of the Registered Exchange Offer:

     (i) the Company shall accept for exchange all Securities tendered and not validly
withdrawn pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer;

     (ii) the Company shall deliver to the Trustee for cancelation all Securities so
accepted for exchange; and

 

5

     (iii) the Trustee shall promptly to authenticate and deliver to each Holder of
Securities, Exchange Securities equal in principal amount to the Securities of such Holder
so accepted for exchange.

          (e) The Trustee and the Company acknowledge that, pursuant to current interpretations by the
Commission’s staff of Section 5 of the Securities Act, and in the absence of an applicable
exemption therefrom, each Exchanging Dealer is required to deliver a Prospectus in connection with
a sale of any Exchange Securities received by such Exchanging Dealer pursuant to the Registered
Exchange Offer in exchange for Securities acquired for its own account as a result of market-making
activities or other trading activities. Accordingly, the Company shall:

     (i) include the information set forth in Annex A hereto on the cover of the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement, in Annex B hereto in the forepart of the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement in a section setting forth details of the Exchange Offer, in Annex C
hereto in the underwriting or plan of distribution section of the Prospectus forming a part
of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, and in Annex D hereto in the Letter of
Transmittal delivered pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer (it being understood that a
Holder’s participation in the Exchange Offer is conditioned on the Holder, by executing and
returning the Letter of Transmittal, representing in writing to the Company as set forth in
Rider B of Annex D hereto); and

     (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
continuously effective under the Securities Act during the Exchange Offer Registration
Period for delivery by Exchanging Dealers in connection with sales of Exchange Securities
received pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer, as contemplated by Section 4(h) below.

     3. Shelf Registration. If, (i) because of any change in law or applicable
interpretations thereof by the Commission’s staff, the Company determines upon advice of its
outside counsel that it is not permitted to effect the Registered Exchange Offer as contemplated by
Section 2 hereof, or (ii) for any other reason the Registered Exchange Offer is not completed
within 225 days after the date of the original issuance of the Securities or the Registered
Exchange Offer is not consummated within 30 business days after the Exchange Offer Registration
Statement is declared effective, or (iii) any Holder is not eligible to participate in the
Registered Exchange Offer or (iv) in the case of any such Holder that participates in the
Registered Exchange Offer, such Holder does not receive freely tradable Exchange Securities in
exchange for tendered securities, other than by reason of such Holder being an affiliate of the
Company within the meaning of the Securities Act (it being understood that, for purposes of this
Section 3, the requirement that an Exchanging Dealer deliver a Prospectus in connection with sales
of Exchange Securities acquired in the Registered Exchange Offer in exchange for Securities
acquired as a result of market making activities or other trading activities shall

 

6

not result in such Exchange Securities being not “freely tradeable”), the following provisions
shall apply:

          (a) The Company shall as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than 45 days after so
required or requested pursuant to this Section 3), file with the Commission and thereafter use its
reasonable best efforts to cause to become effective under the Act a Shelf Registration Statement,
or shall, if permitted by Rule 430B under the Act, otherwise designate an existing effective filing
with the Commission for use by the Holders as a Shelf Registration Statement, relating to the offer
and sale of the Securities or the Exchange Securities, as applicable, by the Holders from time to
time in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by such Holders and set forth in such
Shelf Registration Statement (such Securities or Exchange Securities, as applicable, to be sold by
such Holders under such Shelf Registration Statement being referred to herein as “Registration
Securities”), and any such Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as so amended, shall be referred
to herein as, and governed by the provisions herein applicable to, a Shelf Registration Statement.

          (b) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration
Statement continuously effective in order to permit the Prospectus forming part thereof to be
usable by Holders for a period of two years from the date the Shelf Registration Statement becomes
effective or is designated as such or such shorter period that will terminate when all the
Securities or Exchange Securities, as applicable, covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have
been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (in any such case, such period being called
the “Shelf Registration Period”). The Company shall be deemed not to have used its reasonable best
efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the Shelf Registration Period if
it voluntarily takes any action that would result in Holders of securities covered thereby not
being able to offer and sell such securities during that period, unless (i) such action is required
by applicable law or (ii) such action is taken by the Company in good faith and for valid business
reasons (not including avoidance of the Company’s obligation hereunder), including the acquisition
or divestiture of assets, so long as the Company promptly thereafter complies with the requirements
of Section 4(k) hereof, if applicable.

     4. Registration Procedures. In connection with any Shelf Registration Statement and,
to the extent applicable, any Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the following provisions shall
apply:

          (a) (i) The Company shall furnish to you, prior to the filing or designation thereof with
the Commission, a copy of any Exchange Offer Registration Statement, each amendment thereof and
each amendment or supplement, if any, to the Prospectus included therein and shall use its best
efforts to reflect in each such document, when so filed or designated with the Commission, such
comments as you reasonably may propose.

 

7

     (ii) The Company shall furnish to you, prior to the filing or designation thereof with
the Commission, a copy of any Shelf Registration Statement, each amendment thereof and each
amendment or supplement, if any, to the Prospectus included therein and shall use its best
efforts to reflect in each such document, when so filed or designated with the Commission,
such comments as any Holder whose securities are to be included in such Shelf Registration
Statement reasonably may propose.

          (b) The Company shall ensure that (i) any Registration Statement and any amendment thereto
and any Prospectus forming part thereof and any amendment or supplement thereto complies in all
material respects with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) any
Registration Statement and any amendment thereto does not, when it becomes effective (or, in the
case of a previously filed registration statement that is effective at the time it is designated as
a Shelf Registration Statement, when it is so designated), contain an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading and (iii) any Prospectus forming part of any Registration
Statement, and any amendment or supplement to such Prospectus, does not include an untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

          (c) (1) The Company shall advise you and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the
Holders of securities covered thereby, and, if requested by you or any such Holder, confirm such
advice in writing:

     (i) when a Registration Statement and any amendment thereto has been filed (or, in
the case of a previously filed registration statement that is effective at the time it is
designated as a Shelf Registration Statement, when it is so designated) with the
Commission and when the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has
become effective (or, in the case of a previously filed registration statement that is
effective at the time it is designated as a Shelf Registration Statement, when it is so
designated); and

     (ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus included therein or for additional information.

     (2) The Company shall advise you and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the
Holders of securities covered thereby, and, in the case of an Exchange Offer Registration
Statement, any Exchanging Dealer which has provided in writing to the Company a telephone or
facsimile number and address for notices, and, if requested by you or any such Holder or Exchanging
Dealer, confirm such advice in writing:

 

8

     (i) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;

     (ii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension
of the qualification of the securities included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the
initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

     (iii) of the happening of any event that requires the making of any changes in the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein
are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in the light of
the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading (which advice shall be
accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite
changes have been made).

     Each such Holder or Exchanging Dealer agrees by its acquisition of such securities to be sold
by such Holder or Exchanging Dealer, that, upon being so advised by the Company of any event
described in clause (iii) of this paragraph (c)(2), such Holder or Exchanging Dealer will forthwith
discontinue disposition of such securities under such Registration Statement or Prospectus, until
such Holder’s or Exchanging Dealer’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended
Prospectus contemplated by paragraph 4(k) hereof, or until it is advised in writing by the Company
that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed.

          (d) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order
suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement at the earliest possible time.

          (e) The Company shall furnish to each Holder of securities included within the coverage of
any Shelf Registration Statement, without charge, at least one copy of such Shelf Registration
Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules,
and, if the Holder so requests in writing, any documents incorporated by reference therein and all
exhibits thereto (including those incorporated by reference therein).

          (f) The Company shall, during the Shelf Registration Period, deliver to each Holder of
securities included within the coverage of any Shelf Registration Statement, without charge, as
many copies of the Prospectus (including each preliminary Prospectus) included in such Shelf
Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Holder may reasonably
request; and the Company consents to the use of the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto by each of the selling

 

9

Holders of securities in connection with the offering and sale of the securities covered by
the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto.

          (g) The Company shall furnish to each Exchanging Dealer which so requests, without charge, at
least one copy of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment
thereto, including financial statements and schedules and, if the Exchanging Dealer so requests in
writing, any documents incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits thereto (including those
incorporated by reference therein).

          (h) The Company shall, during the Exchange Offer Registration Period, promptly deliver to
each Exchanging Dealer, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus included in such Exchange
Offer Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Exchanging Dealer may
reasonably request for delivery by such Exchanging Dealer in connection with a sale of Exchange
Securities received by it pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer; and the Company consents to
the use of the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by any such Exchanging Dealer, as
aforesaid.

          (i) Prior to the Registered Exchange Offer or any other offering of securities pursuant to
any Registration Statement, the Company shall register or qualify or cooperate with the Holders of
securities included therein and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or
qualification of such securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such
jurisdictions as any such Holder reasonably requests in writing and do any and all other acts or
things necessary or advisable to enable the offer and sale in such jurisdictions of the securities
covered by such Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company will
not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so
qualified or to take any action which would subject it to general service of process or to taxation
in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.

          (j) The Company shall cooperate with the Holders of Securities to facilitate the timely
preparation and delivery of certificates representing Securities to be sold pursuant to any
Registration Statement free of any restrictive legends and in such denominations and registered in
such names as Holders may request prior to sales of securities pursuant to such Registration
Statement.

          (k) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraph (c)(2)(iii) above, the Company
shall promptly prepare a post-effective amendment to any Registration Statement or an amendment or
supplement to the related Prospectus or file any other required document so that, as thereafter
delivered to purchasers of the securities included therein, the Prospectus will not include an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the

 

10

statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

          (l) Not later than the effective date (or the designation date, in the case of a previously
filed registration statement that is effective at the time it is designated as a Shelf Registration
Statement) of any such Registration Statement hereunder, the Company shall provide a CUSIP number
for the Securities or Exchange Securities, as the case may be, registered under such Registration
Statement, and provide the Trustee with printed certificates for such Securities or Exchange
Securities, in a form, if requested by the applicable Holder or Holder’s Counsel, eligible for
deposit with The Depository Trust Company or any successor thereto under the Indenture.

          (m) The Company shall use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and
regulations of the Commission to the extent and so long as they are applicable to the Registered
Exchange Offer or the Shelf Registration and will make generally available to its security holders
a consolidated earnings statement (which need not be audited) covering a twelve-month period
commencing after the effective date (or the designation date, in the case of a previously filed
registration statement that is effective at the time it is designated as a Shelf Registration
Statement) of the Registration Statement and ending not later than 15 months thereafter, as soon as
practicable after the end of such period, which consolidated earnings statement shall satisfy the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

          (n) The Company shall cause the Indenture, if not already so qualified, to be qualified under
the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, on or prior to the effective date (or the designation
date, in the case of a previously filed registration statement that is effective at the time it is
designated as a Shelf Registration Statement) of any Shelf Registration Statement or Exchange Offer
Registration Statement.

          (o) The Company may require each Holder of securities to be sold pursuant to any Shelf
Registration Statement to furnish to the Company in writing such information regarding the Holder
and the distribution of such securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably require for
inclusion in such Registration Statement. The Company may exclude from any such Registration
Statement the securities of any such Holder who fails to furnish such information within a
reasonable time after receiving such request. Each Holder as to which any Shelf Registration is
being effected agrees to furnish promptly to the Company all information required to be disclosed
in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such Holder not materially
misleading. Each Holder further agrees that, neither such Holder nor any underwriter participating
in any disposition pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement on such Holder’s behalf, will make
any offer relating to the securities to be sold pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement that
would constitute an issuer free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities
Act) or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405 under
the Securities Act)

 

11

required to be filed by the Issuer and Parent with the Commission or retained
by the Issuer and Parent under Rule 433 of the Securities Act, unless it has obtained the prior
written consent of the Issuer and Parent (and except for as otherwise provided in any
underwriting agreement entered into by the Issuer and Parent and any such underwriter).

          (p) The Company shall, if requested, promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment to a Shelf Registration Statement, such information as the Managing
Underwriters, if any, and Majority Holders reasonably agree should be included therein and shall
make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as
notified of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment.

          (q) (i) In the case of any Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall enter into such
agreements (including underwriting agreements) and take all other appropriate actions in order to
expedite or facilitate the registration or the disposition of the Securities, and in connection
therewith, if an underwriting agreement is entered into, cause the same to contain indemnification
provisions and procedures no less favorable than those set forth in Section 6 hereof (or such other
provisions and procedures acceptable to the Majority Holders and the Managing Underwriters, if
any), with respect to all parties to be indemnified pursuant to Section 6 hereof from Holders of
Securities to the Company.

     (ii) Without limiting in any way paragraph (q)(i), no Holder may participate in any
underwritten registration hereunder unless such Holder (x) agrees to sell such Holder’s
securities to be covered by such registration on the basis provided in any underwriting
arrangements approved by the Majority Holders and the Managing Underwriters and (y)
completes and executes in a timely manner all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney,
underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required by the Company or the
Managing Underwriters in connection with such underwriting arrangements.

          (r) In the case of any Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall (i) make reasonably
available for inspection by the Holders of securities to be registered thereunder, any underwriter
participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement, and any attorney,
accountant or other agent retained by the Holders or any such underwriter all relevant financial
and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries
reasonably requested by such person; (ii) cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to
supply all relevant information reasonably requested by the Holders or any such underwriter,
attorney, accountant or agent in connection with any such Registration Statement as is customary
for due diligence examinations in connection with primary underwritten offerings; provided,
however, that any information that is nonpublic at the time of delivery of such information
shall be kept confidential by the Holders or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent,
unless such disclosure is made in connection with a court proceeding

 

12

or required by law, or such information becomes available to the public generally or through a third party without an
accompanying obligation of confidentiality; (iii) make such representations and warranties to the Holders
of securities registered thereunder and the underwriters, if any, in form, substance and scope
as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in primary underwritten offerings; (iv) obtain opinions
of counsel to the Company (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Managing Underwriters, if any) addressed to each selling Holder and the underwriters, if any,
covering such matters as are customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings
and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by such Holders and underwriters; (v) obtain
“cold comfort” letters (or, in the case of any person that does not satisfy the conditions for
receipt of a “cold comfort” letter specified in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 72, an
“agreed-upon procedures” letter under Statement on Auditing Standards No. 35) and updates thereof
from the independent certified public accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, any other
independent certified public accountants of any subsidiary of the Company or of any business
acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to
be, included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement), addressed to each selling
Holder of securities registered thereunder and the underwriters, if any, in customary form and
covering matters of the type customarily covered in “cold comfort” letters in connection with
primary underwritten offerings; and (vi) deliver such documents and certificates as may be
reasonably requested by the Majority Holders and the Managing Underwriters, if any, including those
to evidence compliance with Section 4(k) and with any customary conditions contained in the
underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the Company. The foregoing actions set
forth in clauses (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) of this Section 4(r) shall be performed (A) on the
effective date of such Registration Statement and each post-effective amendment thereto and (B) at
each closing under any underwriting or similar agreement as and to the extent required thereunder.

     5. Registration Expenses. The Company shall bear all expenses incurred in connection
with the performance of its obligations under Sections 2, 3 and 4 hereof and, in the event of any
Shelf Registration Statement, will reimburse the Holders for the reasonable fees and disbursements
of one firm or counsel (in addition to one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) designated
by the Majority Holders to act as counsel for the Holders in connection therewith (“Holders’
Counsel”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holders of the securities being registered shall pay
all agency or brokerage fees and commissions and underwriting discounts and commissions
attributable to the sale of such securities and the fees and disbursements of any counsel or other
advisors or experts retained by such holders (severally or jointly), other than the counsel and
experts specifically referred to above in this Section 5, transfer taxes on resale of any of the
securities by such Holders and any advertising expenses incurred by or on behalf of such Holders in
connection with any offers they may make.

 

     13

     6. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) In connection with any Registration
Statement, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of securities covered
thereby (including with respect to any Prospectus delivery as contemplated in Section 4(h) hereof,
each Exchanging Dealer), the directors, officers, employees and agents of each such Holder and each
other person, if any, who controls any such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities
Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any
preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise
out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to
reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the
Company may otherwise have.

     The Company also agrees to indemnify or contribute to Losses (as defined below) of, as
provided in Section 6(d), any underwriters of Securities registered under a Shelf Registration
Statement, their officers, directors, employees and agents and each person who controls such
underwriters on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of the selling Holders
provided in this Section 6(a) and shall, if requested by any Holder, enter into an underwriting
agreement reflecting such agreement, as provided in Section 4(q) hereof.

          (b) Each Holder of securities covered by a Registration Statement (including with respect to
any Prospectus delivery as contemplated in Section 4(h) hereof, each Exchanging Dealer) severally
and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and
officers and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15
of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing
indemnity from the Company to each such Holder, but only with reference to written information
relating to such Holder furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for
inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will
be in addition to any liability which any such Holder may otherwise have.

          (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of the
commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be
made against the indemnifying party under this Section 6, notify the indemnifying party in writing
of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not
relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or

 

14

(b) above unless and to the extent it did not
otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party
of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party
from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided
in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of
the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified
party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall
not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the
indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that
such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the
indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action,
the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel),
and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate
counsel (and local counsel) if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent
the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or
potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be
legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or
additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not
have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified
party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the
indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense
of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of
the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect
to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification
or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or
potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes
an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim,
action, suit or proceeding. It is understood, however, that the Company shall, in connection with
any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same
jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the
reasonable fees and expenses of only one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local
counsel) at any time for all such Holders and controlling persons. An indemnifying party shall not
be liable under this Section 6 to any indemnified party regarding any settlement or compromise or
consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit
or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether
or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such
settlement, compromise or consent is consented to by such indemnifying party, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld.

 

15

          (d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 6 is
unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, then each
applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall have a joint
and several obligation to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities
(including legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively “Losses”) to which
such indemnified party may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by such indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the
other hand, from the Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses. If the allocation
provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the indemnifying
party and the indemnified party shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of such indemnifying party, on the one
hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions
which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits
received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the sum of (x) the aggregate principal
amount of Securities issued in the Exchange Offers (before deducting expenses) and (y) the total
amount of Special Interest which the Company was not required to pay as a result of registering the
securities covered by the Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses, and benefits
received by any Holders shall be deemed to be equal to the value of receiving Securities or
Exchange Securities, as applicable, registered under the Securities Act. Relative fault shall be
determined by reference to whether any alleged untrue statement or omission relates to information
provided by the indemnifying party, on the one hand, or by the indemnified party, on the other
hand. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by
pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 6, each person who controls a Holder within the
meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and
agent of such Holder shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, and each person who
controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, each
officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the
Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the
applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

          (e) The provisions of this Section 6 will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder, the Company or any underwriter or any of the
officers, directors or controlling persons referred to in this Section 6, and will survive the sale
by a Holder of securities covered by a Registration Statement.

 

16

     7. Registration Defaults and Special Interest. (a) If any of the following events
(each a “Registration Default”) shall occur, then the Company shall pay certain additional interest
(“Special Interest”) to the Holders of the Series of Securities affected thereby in accordance with
Section 7(b):

     (i) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has not been filed with the Commission
on or prior to the 90th day following the date of the original issuance of such Securities;

     (ii) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has not been declared effective on or
prior to the 180th day following the date of the original issuance of such Securities;

     (iii) neither the Registered Exchange Offer with respect to such series of Securities
has been completed nor the Shelf Registration Statement with respect to such series of
Securities has become effective on or prior to the 225th day following the date of the
original issuance of such Securities;

     (iv) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement with respect to such series of
Securities has become effective but ceases to be effective or usable prior to the
consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer with respect to such series of Securities; or

     (v) after the Shelf Registration Statement has become effective, such Registration
Statement thereafter ceases to be effective or usable in connection with resales of the
Securities at any time that the Company is obligated to maintain the effectiveness thereof
pursuant to the Registration Agreement.

          (b) Special Interest shall accrue (in addition to stated interest on the Securities) on the
aggregate principal amount of the series of Securities affected by the Registration Default from
and including the date on which the first such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding
the date on which all Registration Defaults have been cured, at a rate per annum equal to 0.25% of
the principal amount of the Securities; provided, however, that such rate per annum
shall increase by 0.25% per annum from and including the 91st day after the first such Registration
Default unless and until all Registration Defaults have been cured. Accrued Special Interest, if
any, shall be paid in cash in arrears semiannually on January 1 and July 1 in each year; and the
amount of accrued Special Interest shall be determined on the basis of the number of days actually
elapsed. Any accrued and unpaid interest (including Special Interest) on any of the Securities
shall, upon the issuance of an Exchange Security in exchange therefore cease to be payable to the
Holder thereof but such accrued and unpaid interest (including Special Interest) shall be payable
on the next interest payment date for such Exchange Security to the Holder thereof on the related
record date.

 

17

     8. Miscellaneous.

          (a) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company has not, as of the date hereof, entered
into, nor shall it, on or after the date hereof, enter into, any agreement
with respect to its securities that limits the rights granted to the Holders herein or
otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.

          (b) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the
provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, qualified, modified or supplemented, and waivers
or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company has
obtained the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding
aggregate principal amount of Securities (or, after the consummation of any Exchange Offer in
accordance with Section 2 hereof, of Exchange Securities). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver
or consent to departure from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates
exclusively to the rights of Holders whose securities are being sold pursuant to a Registration
Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given
by the Majority Holders, determined on the basis of securities being sold rather than registered
under such Registration Statement.

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

     (i) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder to the Company in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 8(c), which address initially is, with
respect to each Holder, the address of such Holder maintained by the registrar under the
Indenture;

     (ii) if to you, initially at the address set forth in the Dealer Manager Agreement
dated May 22, 2006; and

     (iii) if to the Company, initially at its address set forth in the Dealer Manager
Agreement dated May 22, 2006.

     All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when actually
received.

     The Trustee or the Company by notice to the other may designate additional or different
addresses for subsequent notices or communications.

          (d) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties, including, without the need for an
express assignment or any consent by the Company or subsequent Holders of Securities and/or
Exchange Securities. The Company hereby agrees to extend

 

18

the benefits of this Agreement to any Holder of Securities and/or Exchange Securities and any such Holder may specifically enforce the
provisions of this Agreement as if an original party hereto.

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

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

          (g) Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS
THEREOF).

          (h) Severability. In the event that any one of more of the provisions contained
herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in
every other respect and of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired or
affected thereby, it being intended that all the rights and privileges of the parties shall be
enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

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

ANNEX A

     Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account pursuant to the
Registered Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any
resale of such Exchange Securities. The Letter of Transmittal states that by so acknowledging and
by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter”
within the meaning of the Securities Act. This Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented
from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Securities
received in exchange for Securities where such Exchange Securities were acquired by such
broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. The Company has
agreed that, starting on the date hereof (the “Expiration Date”) and ending on the close of
business on the day that is 180 days following the Expiration Date, it will make this Prospectus
available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See “Plan of
Distribution.”

 

 

ANNEX B

     Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for
Securities, where such Securities were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making
activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in
connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. See “Plan of Distribution.”

 

 

ANNEX C

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account pursuant to the
Registered Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any
resale of such Exchange Securities. The Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time
to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Securities received
in exchange for Securities where such Securities were acquired as a result of market-making
activities or other trading activities. The Company has agreed that, starting on the Expiration
Date and ending on the close of business on the day that is 180 days following the Expiration Date,
it will make this Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in
connection with any such resale. In addition, until                      , 200 , all dealers effecting
transactions in the Exchange Securities may be required to deliver a prospectus. */

     The Company will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Exchange Securities by
broker-dealers. Exchange Securities received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to
the Exchange Offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the
over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the Exchange
Securities or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of
resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale
may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation
in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of any
such Exchange Securities. Any broker-dealer that resells Exchange Securities that were received by
it for its own account pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and any broker or dealer that
participates in a distribution of such Exchange Securities may be deemed to be an “underwriter”
within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit of any such resale of Exchange Securities
and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting
compensation under the Securities Act. The Letter of Transmittal states that by acknowledging that
it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it
is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

     For a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date, the Company will promptly send additional
copies of this Prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this Prospectus to any broker-dealer
that requests such documents in the Letter of Transmittal. The Company has agreed to pay certain
expenses incident to the Exchange Offer (other than the expenses of counsel for the holders of the
Securities) and commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers) and will indemnify the
holders of the Securities (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act.
