Exhibit 10.1

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

          This Indemnification Agreement, dated as of ___, 200_, is made by and between Layne
Christensen Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”) and                      (the “Indemnitee”).

RECITALS

          A. The Corporation recognizes that competent and experienced persons are increasingly
reluctant to serve or to continue to serve as directors or officers of corporations unless they are
protected by comprehensive liability insurance or indemnification, or both, due to increased
exposure to litigation costs and risks resulting from their service to such corporations, and due
to the fact that the exposure frequently bears no reasonable relationship to the compensation of
such directors and officers;

          B. The statutes and judicial decisions regarding the duties of directors and officers are
often difficult to apply, ambiguous, or conflicting, and therefore fail to provide such directors
and officers with adequate, reliable knowledge of legal risks to which they are exposed or
information regarding the proper course of action to take;

          C. The Corporation and Indemnitee recognize that plaintiffs often seek damages in such large
amounts and the costs of litigation may be so enormous (whether or not the case is meritorious),
that the defense and/or settlement of such litigation is often beyond the personal resources of
directors and officers and the exposure from such litigation frequently bears no reasonable
relationship to the compensation of such directors and officers;

          D. The Corporation believes that it is unfair for its directors and officers to assume the
risk of huge judgments and other expenses which may occur in cases in which the director or officer
received no personal profit and in cases where the director or officer was not culpable;

          E. The Corporation, after reasonable investigation, has determined that the liability
insurance coverage presently available to the Corporation may be inadequate in certain
circumstances to cover all possible exposure for which Indemnitee should be protected. The
Corporation believes that the interests of the Corporation and its stockholders would best be
served by a combination of such insurance and the indemnification by the Corporation of the
directors and officers of the Corporation;

          F. The Corporation’s ByLaws require the Corporation to indemnify its directors and officers to
the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). The ByLaws
expressly provide that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are not exclusive, and
contemplate that contracts may be entered into between the Corporation and its directors and
officers with respect to indemnification;

          G. Section 145 of the DGCL (“Section 145”), under which the Corporation is organized, empowers
the Corporation to indemnify its officers, directors, employees and agents

 

 

by agreement and to indemnify persons who serve, at the request of the Corporation, as the
directors, officers, employees or agents of other corporations or enterprises, and expressly
provides that the indemnification provided by Section 145 is not exclusive;

          H. Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL allows a corporation to include in its certificate of
incorporation a provision limiting or eliminating the personal liability of a director for monetary
damages in respect of claims by shareholders and corporations for breach of certain fiduciary
duties, and the Corporation has so provided in its Certificate of Incorporation that each Director
shall be exculpated from such liability to the maximum extent permitted by law;

          I. The Corporation desires to provide the Indemnitee with specific contractual assurances of
the Indemnitee’s rights to full indemnification against litigation risks and reasonable expenses
(regardless, among other things, of any amendment to or revocation of the Certificate of
Incorporation and ByLaws or any change in the ownership of the Corporation or the composition of
its Board of Directors) and, to the extent insurance is available, the coverage of the Indemnitee
under the Corporation’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies;

          J. The Board of Directors has determined that contractual indemnification as set forth herein
is not only reasonable and prudent but also promotes the best interests of the Corporation and its
stockholders;

          K. The Corporation desires and has requested Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve as a
director or officer of the Corporation free from undue concern for unwarranted claims for damages
arising out of or related to such services to the Corporation; and

          L. Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve or to provide additional service for or
on behalf of the Corporation on the condition that he is furnished the indemnity provided for
herein.

AGREEMENT

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth below, and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged,
the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

     Section 1. Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following
definitions shall apply:

          (a) The term “Proceeding” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation,
the investigation, preparation, prosecution, defense, settlement, arbitration and appeal of, and
the giving of testimony in, any threatened, pending or completed claim, action, suit, proceeding,
or arbitration, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative, appellate or arbitral, and
whether formal or informal.

          (b) The term “by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or officer, of the
Corporation, or while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was

2

 

serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of any Other Enterprise” shall be broadly construed and shall include, without
limitation, any actual or alleged act or omission to act.

          (c) The term “Expenses” shall be broadly and reasonably construed and shall include, without
limitation, all direct and indirect expenses, costs or charges of any type or nature whatsoever
(including, without limitation, all attorneys’ fees and related disbursements, appeal bonds, other
out-of-pocket costs and reasonable compensation for time spent by Indemnitee for which Indemnitee
is not otherwise compensated by the Corporation or any third party, provided that the rate of
compensation and estimated time involved is approved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), actually and reasonably
incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, preparation, prosecution, defense,
settlement, arbitration or appeal of, or the giving of testimony in, a Proceeding or establishing
or enforcing a right to indemnification under this Agreement, the
Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or ByLaws, Section 145 of the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware or otherwise.

          (d) The term “judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement” shall be broadly construed and
shall include, without limitation, all direct and indirect payments of any type or nature
whatsoever (including, without limitation, all penalties and amounts required to be forfeited or
reimbursed to the Corporation), as well as any penalties or excise taxes assessed on a person with
respect to an employee benefit plan.

          (e) The term “Corporation” shall include, without limitation and in addition to the resulting
corporation, any constituent corporation or any Other Enterprise (including any constituent of a
constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued,
would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents,
so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent
corporation or Other Enterprise, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of any Other Enterprise, shall stand in the
same position under the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the resulting or surviving
corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation or Other
Enterprise as if its separate existence had continued.

          (f) The term “Other Enterprises” shall include, without limitation, any other corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or employee benefit plan.

          (g) The term “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include, without limitation,
any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on,
or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to any Other
Enterprise, including any employee benefit plan or its participants or beneficiaries.

          (h) A person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in
the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to
have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in
this Agreement.

3

 

          (i) The term “defense” shall include investigations of any Proceeding, appeals of any
Proceeding and defensive assertion of any cross -claim or counterclaim.

          (j) The term “Independent Counsel” means a law firm, or a member of a law firm, that is
experienced in matters of corporation law and neither presently is, nor in the past five years has
been, retained to represent: (i) the Corporation or Indemnitee in any matter material to either
such party (other than with respect to matters concerning Indemnitee under this Agreement, or of
other indemnitees under similar indemnification agreements), or (ii) any other party to the
Proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of
professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the
Corporation or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement. The
Corporation agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Counsel referred to above and to
fully indemnify such counsel against any and all Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising
out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.

          (k) The term “Change of Control” means (i) an acquisition by any person (within the meaning of
Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”)) of beneficial ownership of twenty percent (20%) or more of the combined voting power of the
Corporation’s then outstanding voting securities; (ii) during any period of two consecutive years,
individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of the
Corporation and any new director whose election by the Board of Directors or nomination for
election by the Corporation’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of
the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or
whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to
constitute a majority thereof; or (iii) the consummation of a merger or consolidation involving the
Corporation if the stockholders of the Corporation, immediately before such merger or
consolidation, do not own, immediately following such merger or consolidation, more than eighty
percent (80%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the resulting
entity in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of voting securities immediately
before such merger or consolidation, (iv) the consummation of the sale or other disposition of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, (v) approval by the stockholders of the
Corporation of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation or (vi) there occurs any
other event of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to either Item 5.01 of
Form 8-K or Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A (or a response to any similar item on any
similar schedule or form promulgated under the Exchange Act), whether or not the Corporation is
then subject to such reporting requirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change of Control
shall not be deemed to occur solely because twenty percent (20%) or more of the then outstanding
voting securities is acquired by (i) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under one or
more employee benefit plans maintained by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries or (ii) any
entity that, immediately prior to such acquisition, is owned directly or indirectly by the
stockholders of the Corporation in the same proportion as their ownership of shares in the
Corporation immediately prior to such acquisition.

     Section 2. Indemnification.

          (a) Subject to Sections 4, 6 and 8 of this Agreement, to the fullest extent not prohibited by
the laws of the State of Delaware, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended (but only to
the extent any such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights
than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), the Corporation shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless, Indemnitee if Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to, or a witness of, or is otherwise involved in, any Proceeding by reason of the
fact that Indemnitee is or was or has agreed to serve as a director or officer of the Corporation,
or is or was serving at the Corporation’s request as a director, officer, employee or agent of any
Other Enterprise, or by reason of any action taken or alleged to have been taken, or omitted to be
taken or alleged to be omitted to be taken, in such capacity.

          (b) The indemnification provided by this Section 2 shall be from and against Expenses,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or
on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with such Proceeding, but shall only be provided if Indemnitee
acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, in the case of any Proceeding
by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that
Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or while serving at the
Corporation’s request as a director, officer, employee or agent of any Other Enterprise, no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall
have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless, and only to the extent that, the
Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such Proceeding was brought shall determine upon
application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the
case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the
Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

          (d) The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a
plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that
Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any Proceeding, had
reasonable cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

     Section 3. Successful Defense; Partial Indemnification. To the extent that Indemnitee
has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding referred to in Section
2 hereof or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, Indemnitee shall be indemnified
against Expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. For purposes of this
Agreement and without limiting the foregoing, if any Proceeding is disposed of, on the merits or
otherwise (including a disposition without prejudice), without (i) the disposition being adverse to
Indemnitee, (ii) an adjudication that Indemnitee was liable to the Corporation, (iii) a plea of
guilty or nolo contendere by Indemnitee, (iv) an adjudication that Indemnitee did

5

 

not act in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the Corporation, and (v) with respect to any criminal Proceeding, an
adjudication that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful,
Indemnitee shall be considered for the purposes hereof to have been wholly successful with respect
thereto.

          If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the
Corporation for some or a portion of the Expenses, judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement
actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with any
Proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, and any appeal therefrom but not,
however, for the total amount thereof, the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for
the portion of such Expenses, judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement to which Indemnitee is
entitled. Any necessary determination regarding allocation or apportionment of Expenses between
successful and unsuccessful claims, issues or matters shall be made by the person, persons or
entity empowered or selected under Section 4(a) to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification.

     Section 4. Determination That Indemnification Is Proper.

          (a) Any indemnification hereunder shall (unless otherwise ordered by a court) be made by the
Corporation unless a determination is made that indemnification of such person is not proper in the
circumstances because he or she has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section
2(b) hereof. Any such determination shall be made (i) by a majority vote of the directors who are
not parties to the Proceeding in question (“disinterested directors”), even if less than a quorum,
(ii) by a majority vote of a committee of disinterested directors designated by majority vote of
disinterested directors, even if less than a quorum, (iii) by a majority vote of a quorum of the
outstanding shares of stock of all classes entitled to vote on the matter, voting as a single
class, which quorum shall consist of stockholders who are not at that time parties to the
Proceeding in question, (iv) by Independent Counsel, or (v) by a court of competent jurisdiction;
provided, however, that following a Change of Control of the Corporation, with respect to all
matters thereafter arising out of acts, omissions or events occurring prior to or after the Change
of Control of the Corporation concerning the rights of Indemnitee to seek indemnification under
this Section 4, such determination shall be made by Independent Counsel selected in the manner
described in Section 4(b). Such Independent Counsel shall determine as promptly as practicable
whether and to what extent Indemnitee would be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law and
shall render a written opinion to the Corporation and to Indemnitee to such effect.

          (b) If the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent
Counsel pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof, the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in
this Section 4(b). The Independent Counsel shall be selected by the Board of Directors.
Indemnitee may, within ten (10) days after such written notice of selection shall have been given,
deliver to the Corporation, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided,
however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so
selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 1 of this
Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such
assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as

6

 

Independent Counsel. If a written objection is made and substantiated, the Independent
Counsel selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn
or a court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within twenty (20) days after
submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof,
no Independent Counsel shall have been selected and not objected to, either the Corporation or
Indemnitee may petition the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or other court of competent
jurisdiction of resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Indemnitee to the
Corporation’s selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as Independent Counsel of
a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and the person
with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as
Independent Counsel under Section 4(a) hereof. The Corporation shall pay any and all reasonable
fees and expenses of Independent Counsel incurred by such Independent Counsel in connection with
acting pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof, and the Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and
expenses incident to the procedures of this Section 4(b) regardless of the manner in which such
Independent Counsel was selected or appointed.

     Section 5. Advance Payment of Expenses; Notification and Defense of Claim.

          (a) In the event that the Corporation does not assume the defense pursuant to Section 5(c) of
any Proceeding of which the Corporation receives notice under this Agreement, any Expenses incurred
by Indemnitee in defending a Proceeding, or in connection with an enforcement action pursuant to
Section 6(b), shall be paid by the Corporation to Indemnitee in advance of the final disposition of
such Proceeding as soon as practicable but in any event no later than twenty (20) days after
receipt by the Corporation of (i) a statement or statements from Indemnitee requesting such advance
or advances from time to time, and (ii) an undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay such
amount or amounts, only if, and to the extent that, there is a final judicial determination (as to
which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed) that Indemnitee is not entitled
to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized by this Agreement or otherwise. Such
undertaking shall be accepted without reference to the financial ability of Indemnitee to make such
repayment. Advances shall be unsecured and interest-free. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
obligation of the Corporation to advance Expenses pursuant to this Section 5 shall be subject to
the condition that, if, when and to the extent that the Corporation determines that Indemnitee
would not be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law, the Corporation shall be reimbursed
within sixty (60) days of such determination, by Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to reimburse the
Corporation) for such amounts previously paid by the Corporation pursuant to this Section 5;
provided, however, that if Indemnitee has commenced or thereafter commences legal proceedings in a
court of competent jurisdiction to secure a determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified
under applicable law, any determination made by the Corporation that Indemnitee would not be
permitted to be indemnified under applicable law shall not be binding and Indemnitee shall not be
required to reimburse the Corporation for any advance of Expenses until a final judicial
determination is made with respect thereto (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been
exhausted or lapsed).

          (b) Promptly after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding,
Indemnitee shall, if a claim thereof is to be made against the Corporation hereunder, notify the
Corporation of the commencement thereof. The failure to promptly notify

7

 

the Corporation of the commencement of the Proceeding, or Indemnitee’s request for
indemnification, will not relieve the Corporation from any liability that it may have to Indemnitee
hereunder, except to the extent the Corporation is prejudiced in its defense of such Proceeding as
a result of such failure.

          (c) In the event the Corporation shall be obligated to pay the Expenses of Indemnitee with
respect to a Proceeding, as provided in this Agreement, the Corporation, if appropriate, shall be
entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding, with counsel reasonably acceptable to
Indemnitee, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election to do so. After
delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel
by the Corporation, the Corporation will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any
fees of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same Proceeding, provided
that (i) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ Indemnitee’s own counsel in Proceeding at
Indemnitee’s expense and (ii) if (1) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously
authorized in writing by the Corporation, (2) counsel to the Corporation or Indemnitee shall have
reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest or position, or reasonably believes
that a conflict is likely to arise, on any significant issue between the Corporation and Indemnitee
in the conduct of any such defense, (3) after a Change of Control, the employment of counsel by
Indemnitee has been approved by the Independent Counsel or (4) the Corporation shall not, in fact,
have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding, then the fees and expenses of
Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the Expense of the Corporation, except as otherwise provided by
this Agreement. The Corporation shall not be entitled, without the consent of Indemnitee, to
assume the defense of any claim brought by or in the right of the Corporation or as to which
counsel for the Corporation or Indemnitee shall have reasonably made the conclusion provided for in
clause (2) of the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

          (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that
Indemnitee is, by reason of Indemnitee’s corporate status with respect to the Corporation or any
Other Enterprise which Indemnitee is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the
Corporation, a witness or otherwise participates in any Proceeding at a time when Indemnitee is not
a party in the Proceeding, the Corporation shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually
and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith.

     Section 6. Procedure for Indemnification.

          (a) To obtain indemnification (other than as provided otherwise herein) under this Agreement,
Indemnitee shall promptly submit to the Corporation a written request, including therein or
therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is
reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification. The Corporation shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for
indemnification, advise the Board of Directors in writing that Indemnitee has requested
indemnification.

          (b) The determination whether to grant Indemnitee’s indemnification request (whether made by
the Board of Directors or one of its committees, Independent Counsel, or the

8

 

Corporation’s stockholders) shall be made promptly, and in any event within sixty (60) days
following receipt of a request for indemnification pursuant to Section 6(a). The right to
indemnification as granted by Section 2 of this Agreement shall be enforceable by Indemnitee in any
court of competent jurisdiction if the Corporation denies such request, in whole or in part, or
fails to respond within such sixty-day (60) period. It shall be a defense to any such action
(other than an action brought to enforce a claim for the advance of Expenses under Section 5 hereof
where the required undertaking, if any, has been received by the Corporation) that Indemnitee has
not met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 2 hereof, but the burden of proving such
defense by clear and convincing evidence shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the
Corporation (including its Board of Directors or one of its committees, its Independent Counsel,
and its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that
indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 2 hereof, nor the fact that there has been an
actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or one of its committees,
its Independent Counsel, and its stockholders) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard
of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has or has not
met the applicable standard of conduct. The Indemnitee’s Expenses incurred in connection with
successfully establishing Indemnitee’s right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such
Proceeding or otherwise shall also be indemnified by the Corporation.

          (c) The Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement
upon submission of a request for indemnification pursuant to this Section 6, and the Corporation
shall have the burden of proof in overcoming that presumption in reaching a determination contrary
to that presumption. Such presumption shall be used as a basis for a determination of entitlement
to indemnification unless the Corporation overcomes such presumption by clear and convincing
evidence.

          (d) The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or
employee of the Corporation shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the
right to indemnification under this Agreement.

     Section 7. Insurance and Subrogation.

          (a) The Corporation represents that it currently has in effect the following policy or
policies of director and officer liability insurance (the “Insurance Policies”) which names or
covers Indemnitee as an insured:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	Insurer	 	Policy No.	 	Amount	 	Deductible
	 	 	 	 	 	 	 

          (b) So long as Indemnitee shall continue to serve as a director or officer of the Corporation,
or shall continue at the request of the Corporation to serve as a director or officer, employee or
agent of any Other Enterprise, and thereafter so long as Indemnitee shall be subject to any
possible claim or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding, by

9

 

reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is
or was serving in any of said other capacities at the request of the Corporation, the Corporation
shall be required to maintain the Insurance Policies in effect or to obtain policies of directors’
and officers’ liability insurance from established and reputable insurers with coverage in at least
the amount or amounts as prescribed by the Insurance Policies and which provides the Indemnitee
with substantially the same rights and benefits as the Insurance Policies, and which coverage,
rights and benefits shall, in any event, be as favorable to Indemnitee as are accorded to the most
favorably insured of the Corporation’s directors or officers, as the case may be (“Comparable D&O
Insurance”) unless, in the reasonable business judgment of the Board of Directors of the
Corporation as it may exist from time to time, either (i) the premium cost for such Insurance
Policies or Comparable D&O Insurance is disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided, or
(ii) the coverage provided by such Insurance Policies or Comparable D&O Insurance is so limited by
exclusions that there is insufficient benefit provided by such director and officer liability
insurance; provided, however, that in the event that the Board of Directors makes such a
determination, the Corporation shall provide notice to Indemnitee no less than ninety (90) days
prior to the lapse or termination of coverage under the Insurance Policies or Comparable D&O
Insurance.

          (c) If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the
Corporation has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Corporation shall give
prompt notice of the commencement of such claim, and any Proceeding in which such claim is
asserted, to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies.
The Corporation shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to
pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such claim or Proceeding in
accordance with the terms of such policies. The failure or refusal of any such insurer to pay any
such amount shall not affect or impair the obligations of the Corporation under this Agreement.

          (d) In the event of any payment by the Corporation under this Agreement, the Corporation shall
be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee with
respect to any insurance policy, who shall execute all papers required and take all action
necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable
the Corporation to bring suit to enforce such rights in accordance with the terms of such insurance
policy. The Corporation shall pay or reimburse all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by
Indemnitee in connection with such subrogation.

          (e) The Corporation shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts
otherwise indemnifiable hereunder (including, but not limited to, Expenses, judgments, fines, ERISA
excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) if and to the extent that Indemnitee has
otherwise actually received such payment under the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or
ByLaws, or any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

          (f) The Corporation’s obligation to indemnify or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who
is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
any Other Enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has actually received as
indemnification or advancement of Expenses from such Other Enterprise.

10

 

     Section 8. Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision herein
to the contrary, the Corporation shall not be obligated pursuant to this Agreement:

          (a) Claims Initiated by Indemnitee. To indemnify or advance expenses to Indemnitee
with respect to a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by Indemnitee, except with respect to a
Proceeding brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification (which shall be governed by
the provisions of Sections 6(b) and 8(b) of this Agreement), unless such Proceeding (or part
thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or the
Proceeding was commenced following a Change of Control.

          (b) Action for Indemnification. To indemnify Indemnitee for any expenses incurred by
Indemnitee with respect to any Proceeding instituted by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this
Agreement, unless Indemnitee is successful in establishing Indemnitee’s right to indemnification in
such Proceeding, in whole or in part, or unless and to the extent that the court in such Proceeding
shall determine that, despite Indemnitee’s failure to establish his or her right to
indemnification, Indemnitee is entitled to indemnity for such expenses; provided, however, that
nothing in this Section 8(b) is intended to limit the Corporation’s obligation with respect to the
advancement of expenses to Indemnitee in connection with any such Proceeding instituted by
Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, as provided in Section 5 hereof.

          (c) Certain Statutory Violations. To indemnify Indemnitee on account of any Proceeding
with respect to which final judgment is rendered against Indemnitee for (i) payment or an
accounting of profits arising from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or any similar successor statute, or (ii) any reimbursement of
the Corporation by the Indemnitee of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based
compensation or of any profits realized by the Indemnitee from the sale of securities of the
Corporation, as required in each case under the Exchange Act (including any such reimbursements
that arise from an accounting restatement of the Corporation pursuant to Section 304 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), or the payment to the Corporation of profits
arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 306 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act).

          (d) Non-compete and Non-disclosure. To indemnify Indemnitee in connection with
Proceedings or claims involving the enforcement of non-compete and/or non-disclosure agreements or
the non-compete and/or non-disclosure provisions of employment, consulting or similar agreements
the Indemnitee may be a party to with the Corporation, or any subsidiary of the Corporation or any
Other Enterprise.

     Section 9. Mutual Acknowledgement. Both the Corporation and the Indemnitee
acknowledge that in certain instances, federal law or applicable public policy may prohibit the
Corporation from indemnifying its directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries under this
Agreement or otherwise. The Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the Corporation has
undertaken or may be required in the future to undertake with the Securities and Exchange
Commission to submit the question of indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a
determination of the Corporation’s right under public policy to indemnify the Indemnitee.

11

 

     Section 10. Certain Settlement Provisions. The Corporation shall have no obligation
to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement for amounts paid in settlement of any Proceeding
without the Corporation’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that if a Change of Control has occurred, the
Corporation shall be liable for indemnification of Indemnitee for amounts paid in settlement if the
Independent Counsel has approved the settlement.. The Corporation shall not settle any Proceeding
in any manner that would impose any fine or other obligation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s
prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

     Section 11. Savings Clause. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be
invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall
nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee as to Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
with respect to any Proceeding, including an action by or in the right of the Corporation, to the
full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Agreement that shall not have been
invalidated and to the full extent permitted by applicable law.

     Section 12. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in
circumstances in which the indemnification provided for herein is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be unavailable to Indemnitee in whole or in part, it is agreed that, in such event,
the Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, contribute to the payment of
Indemnitee’s Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any
Proceeding, or any claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, in an amount that is just and
equitable in the circumstances, taking into account, among other things, contributions by other
directors and officers of the Corporation or others pursuant to indemnification agreements or
otherwise; provided, that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such contribution
shall not be required where such holding by the court is due to (i) the failure of Indemnitee to
meet the standard of conduct set forth in Section 2 hereof, or (ii) any limitation on
indemnification set forth in Section 7(c), 8, 9 or 10 hereof.

     Section 13. Form and Delivery of Communications. All notices and other communications
given or made pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given:
(i) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (ii) when sent by facsimile if sent during
normal business hours of the recipient, and if not so confirmed, then on the next business day,
(iii) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, or (iv) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized
overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All
communications shall be sent to the address or facsimile number set forth below, or to such other
address or facsimile number as may have been furnished hereafter to Indemnitee by the Corporation
or to the Corporation by Indemnitee, as the case may be.

          If to the Corporation:

Facsimile:

          If to Indemnitee:

     Section 14. Subsequent Legislation. If the General Corporation Law of Delaware is
amended after adoption of this Agreement to expand further the indemnification of, or advancement
of Expenses to, or making permitted contribution to, directors or officers, then the Corporation
shall indemnify and advance Expenses and make contributions to Indemnitee to the fullest extent
permitted by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, as so amended.

     Section 15. Nonexclusivity. The provisions for indemnification, advancement of
Expenses and contribution set forth in this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
rights which Indemnitee may have under any provision of law, the Corporation’s Certificate of
Incorporation or ByLaws, in any court in which a Proceeding is brought, the vote of the
Corporation’s stockholders or disinterested directors, other agreements or otherwise, and
Indemnitee’s rights hereunder shall continue after Indemnitee has ceased acting as a director or
officer of the Corporation, or ceased serving at the Corporation’s request as a director, officer,
employee or agent of any Other Enterprise, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors,
administrators and legal representatives of Indemnitee. However, no amendment or alteration of the
Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or ByLaws or any other agreement shall adversely affect
the rights provided to Indemnitee under this Agreement.

     Section 16. Enforcement. The Corporation shall be precluded from asserting in any
judicial Proceeding that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding
and enforceable. The Corporation agrees that its obligations set forth in this Agreement are
unique and special, and that failure of the Corporation to comply with the provisions of this
Agreement will cause irreparable and irremediable injury to Indemnitee, for which a remedy at law
will be inadequate. As a result, in addition to any other right or remedy Indemnitee may have at
law or in equity with respect to breach of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be entitled to
injunctive or mandatory relief directing specific performance by the Corporation of its obligations
under this Agreement.

     Section 17. Interpretation of Agreement. It is understood that the parties hereto
intend this Agreement to be interpreted and enforced so as to provide indemnification of, and
advancement of Expenses and contribution to, Indemnitee to the fullest extent now or hereafter
permitted by law.

     Section 18. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents expressly referred to
herein constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the matters
covered hereby, and any other prior or contemporaneous oral or written understandings or agreements
with respect to the matters covered hereby are expressly superseded by this Agreement.

     Section 19. Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment of this
Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto. No

13

 

waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver
of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a
continuing waiver.

     Section 20. Successor and Assigns. All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement
shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto
and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal
representatives. The Corporation shall require and cause any direct or indirect successor (whether
by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or
assets of the Corporation, by written agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the
same extent that the Corporation would be required to perform if no such succession had taken
place. This Agreement shall continue in effect regardless of whether Indemnitee continues to serve
as a director, officer, employee, agent of fiduciary (as applicable) of the Corporation or of any
Other Enterprise.

     Section 21. Service of Process and Venue. For purposes of any Proceedings to enforce
this Agreement, the Corporation and Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agree
that any Proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought only in
the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Court”), and not in any other state or
federal court in the United States of America or any court in any other country, (ii) consent to
submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court for purposes of any Proceeding arising
out of or in connection with this Agreement, (iii) irrevocably appoint, to the extent such party is
not otherwise subject to service of process in the State of Delaware, CT Corporation as its agent
in the State of Delaware as such party’s agent for acceptance of legal process in connection with
any such Proceeding against such party with the same legal force and validity as if served upon
such party personally within the State of Delaware, (iv) waive any objection to the laying of venue
of any such Proceeding in the Delaware Court, and (v) waive, and agree not to plead or to make, any
claim that any such Proceeding brought in the Delaware Court has been brought in an improper or
inconvenient forum.

     Section 22. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed exclusively by and
construed according to the laws of the State of Delaware, as applied to contracts between Delaware
residents entered into and to be performed entirely within Delaware. If a court of competent
jurisdiction shall make a final determination that the provisions of the law of any state other
than Delaware govern indemnification of, or advancement of Expenses or contribution to, its
officers and directors by the Corporation, then the indemnification, advancement of Expenses and
contribution provided under this Agreement shall in all instances be enforceable to the fullest
extent permitted under such law, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary.

     Section 23. Employment Rights. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to create in
Indemnitee any right to employment or continued employment.

     Section 24. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall be

14

 

deemed to be one and the same instrument, notwithstanding that both parties are not
signatories to the original or same counterpart.

     Section 25. Headings. The section and subsection headings contained in this Agreement
are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of
this Agreement.

     Section 26. Section 409A. It is intended that any indemnification payment or
advancement of Expenses made hereunder shall be exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, and the guidance issued thereunder (“Section 409A”) pursuant to Treasury
Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(10). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any indemnification payment
or advancement of Expenses made hereunder shall be determined to be “nonqualified deferred
compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A, then (i) the amount of the indemnification
payment or advancement of Expenses during one taxable year shall not affect the amount of the
indemnification payments or advancement of Expenses during any other taxable year, (ii) the
indemnification payments or advancement of Expenses must be made on or before the last day of the
Indemnitee’s taxable year following the year in which the expense was incurred, and (iii) the right
to indemnification payments or advancement of Expenses hereunder is not subject to liquidation or
exchange for another benefit.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the parties hereto
to be effective as of the date first above written.

ARTICLE II

THE SECURITIES

     2.01 Form and Dating.

     The Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the
form set forth in Exhibit A, which is incorporated in and forms a part of this Indenture.
The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or
usage. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

     Securities offered and sold under the Securities Act shall be issued initially in the form of
one or more Global Securities, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A (each, a
“Global Security”), deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, duly executed by
the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided and bearing the legends set
forth in Exhibit B. The aggregate principal amount of the Global Securities may from time
to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made by the Trustee, as custodian for the
Depositary, as hereinafter provided.

     Securities issued in exchange for interests in a Global Security pursuant to Section 2.15 may
be issued in the form of permanent certificated Securities in registered form in substantially the
form set

-4-

 

forth in Exhibit A (the “Physical Securities”) and, if applicable, bearing any legends
required by Section 2.17.

     2.02 Execution and Authentication.

     One Officer shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

     If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the
Security is authenticated, the Security shall nevertheless be valid.

     A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The
signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this
Indenture.

     Upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities for original issue
in the aggregate principal amount of $[     ],000,000.

     The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate
Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so.
Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such
agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company and its
Affiliates.

     If a Company Order pursuant to this Section 2.02 of the Indenture has been, or simultaneously
with the Company Order is, delivered, any instructions by the Company to the Trustee with respect
to authentication, delivery or redelivery of a Security issued in global form shall be in writing
but need not comply with Section 12.04 hereof and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

     The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form without interest coupons and only in
denominations of $100 principal amount and any positive integral multiple thereof subject to the
issuance of PIK Interest pursuant to Section 1 of the form of Securities set forth in Exhibit
A hereto, in which case PIK Notes may be issued in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
amount of PIK Interest paid by the Company for the applicable period, rounded up to the nearest
whole dollar.

     PIK Notes may be created and issued from time to time by the Company without notice to or
consent of the Holders and shall be consolidated with and form a single class with the Securities
and shall have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the PIK Notes of the same
series; provided that in connection with the payment of PIK Interest in respect of the Securities,
the Company is entitled to, without the consent of the Holders, increase the outstanding principal
amount of the Securities or issue PIK Notes. All Securities will be treated as a single class for
all purposes under this Indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to
purchase.

     On any date that PIK Notes are issued, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order to
such effect, authenticate and deliver the PIK Notes (or increase the principal amount of any
Securities) as a result of a PIK Payment for an aggregate principal amount specified in such
Company Order for such PIK Notes (or increase the principal amount of any Securities) issued or
increased hereunder. On any interest payment date on which the Company pays PIK Interest with
respect to a Global Note representing Securities, the Trustee shall increase the principal amount
of such Global Note by an amount equal to the interest payable, rounded up to the nearest $1.00,
for the relevant interest period on the principal amount of such Global Note on such interest
payment date, to the credit of the Holders on the relevant record date, pro rata in accordance with
their interests, and an adjustment shall be made on the books and records of the Trustee with
respect to such Global Note, by the Trustee, to reflect such increase. On any interest payment
date on which the Company pays PIK Interest by issuing definitive PIK Notes, the principal

-5-

 

amount of any such PIK Notes issued to any Holder, for the relevant interest period as of the
relevant record date for such interest payment date, shall be rounded up to the nearest $1.00.

     2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent.

     The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for
registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or agency where Securities may
be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities
and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint or change one or more co-registrars
and one or more additional paying agents without notice and may act in any such capacity on its own
behalf. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar; and the term “Paying Agent” includes any
additional paying agent.

     The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to
this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such
Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any Agent not a party to
this Indenture. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall
act as such.

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

     2.04 Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust.

     Each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Securityholders or the Trustee
all moneys held by the Paying Agent for the payment of the Securities, and shall notify the Trustee
of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the
Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any
time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to
the Trustee, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company acts
as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold as a separate trust fund all money held by it as
Paying Agent.

     2.05 Securityholder Lists.

     The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent
list available to it of the names and addresses of Securityholders. If the Trustee is not the
Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee on or before each interest payment date and at
such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list, in such form and as of such date as
the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of Securityholders.

     2.06 Transfer and Exchange.

-6-

 

     Subject to Sections 2.15 and 2.16 hereof, where Securities are presented to the Registrar with
a request to register their transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of
Securities of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the
exchange if its requirements for such transaction are met. To permit registrations of transfer and
exchanges, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request. The Company or
the Trustee, as the case may be, shall not be required (a) to issue, authenticate, register the
transfer of or exchange any Security during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days
before the mailing of a notice of redemption of the Securities selected for redemption under
Section 3.04 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing or (b) to register the
transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the
unredeemed portion of Securities being redeemed in part.

     No service charge shall be made for any transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to
Section 2.10, 3.01, 3.07 or 9.05 not involving any transfer.

     2.07 Replacement Securities.

     If the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been mutilated, lost, destroyed or
wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security
if the Trustee’s requirements are met and, in the case of a mutilated Security, such mutilated
Security is surrendered to the Trustee. In the case of lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken
Securities, if required by the Trustee, an indemnity bond must be provided by the Holder that is
sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee to protect the Company, the Trustee or any Agent from any
loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Trustee may charge for its
expenses in replacing a Security.

     In case any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Security has become or is
about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new
Security, pay such Security when due.

     Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company only as provided in
Section 2.08.

     2.08 Outstanding Securities.

     Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except
for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this
Section as not outstanding. Except to the extent provided in Section 2.09, a Security does not
cease to be outstanding because the Company or one of its subsidiaries or 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, or a court holds, that the replaced Security is held by
a protected purchaser.

     If the Paying Agent (other than the Company) 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
shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and interest on them shall cease to accrue, and such
Security shall be deemed paid whether or not the Security is delivered to the Paying Agent.
Thereafter, all other rights of the Holders of such Securities shall terminate with respect to such
Securities, other than the right to receive the Redemption Price or principal amount, as
applicable.

-7-

 

     2.09 Securities Held by the Company or an Affiliate.

     In determining whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of Securities
have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Securities owned by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or an Affiliate shall be considered as though 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 a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned
shall be so disregarded.

     2.10 Temporary Securities.

     Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and, upon receipt
of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities
shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the
Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company
shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate in accordance with Section 2.02 definitive
Securities in exchange for temporary Securities.

     2.11 Cancellation.

     The Company 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 transfer,
exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange,
payment or cancellation in accordance with its customary procedures. The Company may not issue new
Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

     2.12 Defaulted Interest.

     If and to the extent the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, the
Company shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent not prohibited by
applicable statute or case law, interest payable on the defaulted interest at the rate provided in
the Securities. The Company may pay the defaulted interest to the persons who are Securityholders
on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix such record date and payment date. At
least 15 days before the record date, the Company shall mail to Securityholders a notice that
states the record date, payment date and amount of interest to be paid.

     2.13 CUSIP Numbers.

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

     2.14 Deposit of Moneys.

     Prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Maturity Date and each Redemption Date, the
Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds money sufficient to make
Cash payments, if any, due on the Maturity Date and such Redemption Date, as the case may be, in a
timely manner which permits the Paying Agent to remit payment to the Holders on the Maturity Date
and such Redemption Date, as the case may be.

Cash all or any part of the Securities at the applicable Redemption Price, plus accrued and

Act that may then apply, and (ii) otherwise comply with any applicable federal and state securities
laws so as to permit the rights and obligations under Section 3.01 to be exercised in the time and
in the manner specified in Section 3.01.

ARTICLE IV

COVENANTS

     The Company shall pay all amounts due with respect to the Securities on the dates and in the
manner provided in the Securities. All such amounts shall be considered paid on the date due if,

if the Company has segregated and holds in trust in accordance with Section 2.04) on that date
money sufficient to pay the amount then due with respect to the Securities, and in the case of PIK
Payments, the Trustee is directed prior to such date to issue PIK Notes or increase the principal

applicable law, overdue interest) at the rate borne by the Securities.

     4.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency.

     The Company will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or

Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and
demands to or upon the

-12-

 

Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give
prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such

agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

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

     The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as an agency of the
Company in accordance with Section 2.03.

     4.03 Reports.

     (A) The Company will comply with the provisions of TIA § 314(a).

     (B) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational
purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any
information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the
Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to
rely exclusively on the Officers’ Certificate).

     4.04 Compliance Certificate.

     The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of
the Company an Officers’ Certificate stating whether or not the signers know of any Default or
Event of Default by the Company in performing any of its obligations under this Indenture or the
Securities. If they do know of any such Default or Event of Default, the certificate shall
describe the Default or Event of Default and its status.

     4.05 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

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

     4.06 Corporate Existence.

     Subject to Article V, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve
and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and the corporate existence of each of
its Significant Subsidiaries in accordance with the respective organizational documents of each
Significant Subsidiary and the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the
Company and its Significant Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required
to preserve any such right, license or

-13-

 

franchise, or the corporate existence of any Significant Subsidiary, if in
the judgment of the Board of Directors (i) such preservation or existence is not material to the
conduct of business of the Company and (ii) the loss of such right, license or franchise or the
dissolution of such Significant Subsidiary does not have a material adverse impact on the Holders.

     4.07 Notice of Default.

     In the event that any Default or Event of Default shall occur, the Company will give prompt
written notice of such Default or Event of Default to the Trustee.

     4.08 Tax Treatment of Securities.

     The Company and the Holders, by purchasing a beneficial ownership interest in the Securities,
agree that if the stated principal amount of the Securities exceeds their issue price by 1.50% of
their stated principal amount or more (i) the Securities will be contingent payment debt
instruments as described in Section 1.1275-4 of the Treasury regulations promulgated by the
Department of Treasury pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, amended (the “Contingent
Payment Regulations”), (ii) each Holder shall be bound by the Company’s application of the
Contingent Payment Regulations to the Securities, including the Company’s determination of the rate
at which interest will be deemed to accrue on the Securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes,
which is the rate comparable to the rate at which the Company would borrow on a noncontingent,
nonconvertible borrowing with no contingent payments, but with terms and conditions otherwise
comparable to the Securities (the “comparable yield”), (iii) each Holder shall use the projected
payment schedule with respect to the Securities that the holder may obtain from the Company to the
Holder, as provided in the Contingent Payment Regulations, to determine its interest accruals and
adjustments as provided in the Contingent Payment Regulations, and (iv) the Company and each Holder
will not take any position on a tax return inconsistent with clauses (i), (ii), or (iii) of this
Section 4.08, unless required by applicable law.

     The comparable yield and the schedule of projected payments are not determined for any purpose
other than for the determination of interest accruals and adjustment thereof in respect of the
Securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The comparable yield and the schedule of
projected payments do not constitute a projection or representation regarding the amount payable on
the Securities. A Holder may obtain the issue date and, if applicable, comparable yield and
projected payment schedule by telephoning [              ] at  [              ] or submitting a written request to: WebMD Health Corp.,  [              ].

ARTICLE V

SUCCESSORS

     5.01 When Company May Merge, etc.

     The Company shall not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all
or substantially all of its properties and assets to, another person unless such other person is a
corporation

-14-

 

organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia
or a corporation or comparable legal entity organized under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction
(provided, however, that in the case of a transaction where the surviving entity is organized under
the laws of a foreign jurisdiction, the Company may not consummate the transaction without first
amending the terms of the Securities to provide that, in the event the Company is required under
the laws of such foreign jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) to withhold or deduct
amounts in respect of taxes from payments made to Securityholders on the Securities, the Company
will pay, subject to certain standard exceptions, such additional amounts to the holders as may be
necessary so that each Securityholder will receive the same amounts it would have received had no
such withholding or deduction been required; such person assumes by supplemental indenture all the
obligations of the Company, under the Securities and this Indenture; and immediately after giving
effect to the transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall exist under the terms of this
Indenture.

     The Company shall deliver to the Trustee prior to the consummation of the proposed transaction
an Officers’ Certificate to the foregoing effect and an Opinion of Counsel, which may rely upon
such Officers’ Certificate as to the absence of Defaults and Events of Default, stating that the
proposed transaction and such supplemental indenture will, upon consummation of the proposed
transaction, comply with this Indenture.

     5.02 Successor Substituted.

     Upon any consolidation or merger or transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company in accordance with Section 5.01, the successor person formed by such
consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such transfer or lease is made shall
succeed to, and, except in the case of a lease, be substituted for, and may exercise every right
and power of, and shall assume every duty and obligation of, the Company under this Indenture with
the same effect as if such successor had been named as the Company herein. When the successor
assumes all obligations of the Company hereunder, except in the case of a lease, all obligations of
the predecessor shall terminate.

ARTICLE VI

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

     6.01 Events of Default.

     An “Event of Default” occurs if:

     (i) the Company defaults in the payment of the principal amount or Redemption Price
with respect to any Security when the same becomes due and payable and such default
continues for a period of 30 days, whether on the Maturity Date, Redemption Date or
otherwise, except to the extent such payment shall be prohibited by the provisions of
Article XI hereof;

     (ii) the Company defaults in the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on any Security
when the same becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days,
except to the extent such payment shall be prohibited by the provisions of Article XI
hereof;

     (iii) the Company fails to comply with any of its other agreements in the Securities or
this Indenture and the default continues for the period and after the notice specified
below;

     (iv) the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries pursuant to or within the
meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

-15-

 

     (A) commences a voluntary case,

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

     (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

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

     (A) is for relief against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries in
an involuntary case or proceeding, or adjudicates the Company or any Significant
Subsidiary insolvent or bankrupt,

     (B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries
for all or substantially all of the property of the Company or any such Significant
Subsidiary, as the case may be, or

     (C) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company or any of its
Significant Subsidiaries,

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

     The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, U.S. Code or any similar federal or State law for
the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or
similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

     A default under Section 6.01(iii) above is not an Event of Default until the Trustee or the
Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding notify the
Company and the Trustee of the default and the default is not cured 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 the Holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Securities request the Trustee to give such notice on their behalf, the Trustee shall
do so. When a default is cured, it ceases.

     6.02 Acceleration.

     If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(iv) or (v)
with respect to the Company) as to which the Trustee has received notice pursuant to the provisions
of this Indenture occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company or the Holders of
at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by notice to the
Company and the Trustee may declare the Securities to be due and payable. Upon such declaration
such principal and interest to but not including the date of payment or provision therefor shall be
due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(iv) or (v) with
respect to the Company occurs, the principal of and accrued interest on all the Securities shall
ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the
part of the Trustee or any Securityholder. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Securities then outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and
its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any order or decree and if all existing
Events of Default have been
cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or

-16-

 

interest that has become due solely because
of the acceleration and if all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.07 have been paid.

     6.03 Other Remedies.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, if an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to
collect the payment of amounts due with respect to the Securities or to enforce the performance of
any provision of the Securities or this Indenture.

     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
Securityholder 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. All
remedies are cumulative.

     6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.

     Subject to Sections 6.07 and 9.02, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Securities then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may waive any past Default or Event of
Default and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal amount, accrued and
unpaid interest, or any Redemption Price. When a Default or an Event of Default is waived, it is
cured and ceases for every purpose of this Indenture.

     6.05 Control by Majority.

     The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding 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 it. However, the Trustee may refuse to
follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, is unduly prejudicial to the rights
of other Securityholders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided that the
Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such
direction.

     6.06 Limitation on Suits.

     Except as provided in Section 6.07, a Securityholder may pursue a remedy with respect to this
Indenture or the Securities only if:

     (i) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

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

     (iii) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

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

     (v) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Securities then outstanding do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the
request.

-17-

 

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

     6.07 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive
payment of all amounts due with respect to the Securities (including, without limitation, PIK
Interest), on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Securities, or to bring suit for
the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or
affected without the consent of the Holder.

     6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.

     If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(i) or (ii) occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company
for the whole amount due with respect to the Securities, including any unpaid and accrued interest.

     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, any predecessor Trustee and the
Securityholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or its creditors or
properties.

     The Trustee may collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any
such claims and to distribute the same, and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator,
sequestrator or similar official in any judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to
make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Holders, to pay the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any
other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.

     Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to
or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the
Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

     6.10 Priorities.

     If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article VI, 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 Senior Indebtedness to the extent required by Article XI;

     Third: to Securityholders for all amounts due and unpaid on the Securities, without
preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the
Securities; and

     Fourth: to the Company.

     The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Company may fix a record date and payment date
for any payment by it to Securityholders pursuant to this Section 6.10.

-18-

 

     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 other than the Trustee 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 due regard to the merits
and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 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 aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities.

ARTICLE VII

TRUSTEE

     7.01 Duties of Trustee.

     (A) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of
the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in
their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
his or her own affairs.

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

     (i) the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this
Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against
the Trustee; and

     (ii) in the absence of bad faith, willful misconduct or negligence 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 (including, without limitation, Officer’s
Certificate and Opinion of Counsel); but in the case of any such certificates or opinions
which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the
Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine 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 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:

     (i) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a
Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts; and

     (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to
take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05.

     (D) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to the
provisions of this Section 7.01.

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

     7.02 Rights of Trustee.

     (A) Subject to Section 7.01, the Trustee may conclusively rely on any document 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; if, however, the Trustee shall determine to
make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled during normal business hours to
examine the relevant books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney
upon reasonable prior notice.

     (B) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require the Company to deliver an
Officers’ Certificate and/or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action
it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of
Counsel.

     (C) Any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced
by a Company Order and any resolution of the Board of Directors shall be sufficiently evidenced by
a Board Resolution.

     (D) The Trustee may consult with counsel (such counsel to be reasonably acceptable to the

authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in
good faith and in reliance thereon.

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

     (F) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith

Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an Event of Default except (1) any Default or
Event of Default occurring pursuant to Sections 6.01(i) and 6.01(ii) or (2) any Default or Event of
Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written notification or
obtained actual knowledge. Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under
Article IV (other than Sections 4.04 and 4.07) is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s
receipt of the foregoing 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).

     (H) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested by
this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture unless
such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance
with such request or direction.

-20-

 

     (I) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee,
including without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be
enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and
other person employed to act hereunder.

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

     (K) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk funds or
otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its rights or powers
hereunder, if the Trustee shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds
or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured or provided to it.

     (L) The Trustee shall incur no liability if, by reason of any provision of any present or
future law or regulation thereunder, or other action by a public authority, or by any force majeure
event, including but not limited to acts of God, war, riot, invasion, acts of foreign enemy,
foreign or domestic hostilities, strikes, terrorist attacks (actual or threatened), loss of power,
failure of electronic communication or data processing systems which failure is not within the
reasonable control of the Trustee, natural disaster, or other circumstances beyond its reasonable
control, the Trustee shall be prevented or forbidden from doing or performing any act or thing
which the terms of this Indenture provide shall or may be done or performed, or by reason of any
exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in this Indenture.

     (M) Whenever the Trustee is unable to decide between alternative courses of action permitted
or required by the terms of this Indenture, or is unsure as to the application, intent,
interpretation or meaning of any provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall promptly give
notice (in such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Company or Holders, as applicable,
requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted, and, to the extent the Trustee
acts in good faith in accordance with any such instruction received from the Company or a majority of the
Holders, as applicable, the Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to any person. If the Trustee
shall not have received appropriate instructions within ten calendar days of sending such notice
(or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be
necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from
taking such action which is consistent, in its view, with this Indenture, and the Trustee shall
have no liability to any person for any such action or inaction.

     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 Company or any of 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.

     7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer.

     The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the
Securities; it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities;

authentication.

     If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing as to which the Trustee has received
notice pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder
a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 30 days after the Trustee received notice of
such Default or Event of Default unless such Default or Event of Default has been cured or waived.
Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of any amounts due with respect to
any Security, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines
that withholding the notice is in the interests of Securityholders.

     7.06 Reports by Trustee to Holders.

     Within 60 days after each [May      ] beginning with [May      ], 2009, the
Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder if required by TIA § 313(a) a brief report dated as of
such [      ] that complies with TIA § 313(c). In such event, the Trustee also shall

     A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders shall be mailed to the
Company and filed by the Trustee with the SEC and each stock exchange, if any, on which the
Securities are listed. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Securities are
listed on any stock exchange.

     7.07 Compensation and Indemnity.

     The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its services as
shall be agreed upon in writing. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on
compensation of a trustee of an express trust. 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 out-of-pocket expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

     The Company shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or
expense (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and taxes other than those based
upon the income of the Trustee) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration
of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the reasonable costs and
expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any Holder or any
other person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers and
duties hereunder. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent. The
Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnification. The
Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the
Trustee through the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

     To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a
lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that
held in trust to pay amounts due on particular Securities.

     The indemnity obligations of the Company with respect to the Trustee provided for in this
Section 7.07 shall survive any resignation or removal of the Trustee.

     When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(iv) or (v) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to
constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

     7.08 Replacement of Trustee.

-22-

 

     A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become
effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section
7.08.

     The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company in writing 30 business days prior to such
resignation. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then
outstanding may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing and may
appoint a successor Trustee with the Company’s consent. The Company may remove the Trustee if:

     (i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

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

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

     (iv) 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 Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

     If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns
or is removed, the retiring Trustee (at the Company’s expense), the Company or the Holders of at
least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

     If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

     A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring
Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall
become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the
Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to
Securityholders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee
to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07.

     7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

     If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially
all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any
further act shall be the successor Trustee, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible
hereunder.

     7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification.

     There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized
under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination
by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100
million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall
comply with TIA § 310(b).

     7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

-23-

 

     The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA
§ 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the
extent indicated.

ARTICLE VIII

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

     8.01 Termination of the Obligations of the Company.

     The Company may terminate all of its obligations under this Indenture if all Securities
previously authenticated and delivered (other than mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities
which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.07) have been delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation or if:

     (i) the Securities mature within one year or all of them are to be called for
redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for giving the
notice of redemption;

     (ii) the Company irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee money or U.S.
Government Obligations sufficient to pay the principal or Redemption Price of and any unpaid
and accrued interest on the Securities to maturity or redemption, as the case may be.
Immediately after making the deposit, the Company shall give notice of such event to the
Securityholders;

     (iii) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all sums then payable by the Company to
the Trustee hereunder as of the date of such deposit; and

     (iv) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’
Certificate stating that all conditions precedent provided for herein relating to the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with. The Company may make
the deposit only during the one-year period and only if Article XI permits it.

     However, the Company’s obligations in Sections 2.02, 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.15,
2.16, 2.17, 4.01, 4.02, Article VII and Article VIII shall survive until the Securities are no
longer outstanding. Thereafter the obligations of the Company in Sections 7.07 and 8.03 shall
survive.

     After a deposit pursuant to this Section 8.01, the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in
writing the discharge of the obligations of the Company under the Securities and this Indenture,
except for those surviving obligations specified above.

     In order to have money available on a payment date to pay the principal or Redemption Price of
and any unpaid and accrued interest on the Securities, the U.S. Government Obligations shall be
payable as to principal and any unpaid and accrued interest on or before such payment date in such
amounts as will provide the necessary money.

     “U.S. Government Obligations” means direct non-callable obligations of, or non-callable
obligations guaranteed by, the United States of America for the payment of which the full faith and
credit of the United States of America is pledged.

     8.02 Application of Trust Money.

-24-

 

     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 through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of the
principal or Redemption Price of and any unpaid and accrued interest on the Securities. Money and
securities so held in trust are not subject to the subordination provisions of Article XI.

     8.03 Repayment to Company.

     The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of, and pay to the Company
upon the request of the Company, any excess money or securities held by them at any time. The
Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon the written request of the Company any
money held by them for the payment of the principal or Redemption Price of and any unpaid and
accrued 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 and request of
the Company, cause to be published once in a newspaper of general circulation in The City of New
York or cause to be mailed to each Holder, notice stating that such money remains 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 Company. After
repayment to the Company, Securityholders entitled to the money must look to the Company for
payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another person
and all liability of the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall cease.

     8.04 Reinstatement.

     If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in
accordance with Sections 8.01 and 8.02 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 obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Securities shall be
revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Sections 8.01 and 8.02 until
such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government
Obligations in accordance with Sections 8.01 and 8.02; provided, however, that if the Company has
made any payment of amounts due with respect to any Securities because of the reinstatement of its
obligations, the Company 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 or Paying
Agent.

ARTICLE IX

AMENDMENTS

     9.01 Without Consent of Holders.

     The Company, with the consent of the Trustee, may amend or supplement this Indenture or the
Securities without notice to or the consent of any Securityholder:

     (i) to evidence a successor to the Company pursuant to Article V hereof and the
assumption by that successor of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the
Securities;

     (ii) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of the appointment under this Indenture
of a successor Trustee;

-25-

 

     (iii) to add to the covenants of the Company described in this Indenture for the
benefit of Securityholders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company;

     (iv) to secure the obligations of the Company in respect of the Securities;

     (v) to make any changes or modifications to this Indenture necessary in connection with
the registration of the Securities under the Securities Act and the qualification of the
Indenture under the TIA;

     (vi)
to cure any ambiguity, inconsistency or other defect in this Indenture;

     (vii)
to comply with Section 5.01; or

     (viii) to add guarantors or co-obligors.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, no supplemental indenture pursuant to the foregoing clauses
(iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) may be entered into without the consent of the holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Securities if such supplemental indenture would materially and adversely
affect the interests of the Holders of the Securities.

     9.02 With Consent of Holders.

     The Company, with the consent of the Trustee, may amend or supplement this Indenture or the
Securities without notice to any Securityholder but with the written consent of the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities. Subject to Section 6.07, the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities may waive
compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities without notice to
any other Securityholder. However, without the consent of each Securityholder affected, an
amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04, may not:

     (i) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest (including the
accrual of pay-in-kind interest) on any Security;

     (ii) make any Security payable in money or securities other than as stated in such
Security;

     (iii) change the stated maturity of any Security;

     (iv) reduce the principal amount or Redemption Price of any Security;

     (v) make any change that adversely affects the right to receive payment with respect
to, any Security or the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment with
respect to any Security;

     (vi) modify the provisions of Article XI hereof in a manner adverse to the Holders; or

     (vii) reduce the amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment,
supplement or waiver.

-26-

 

     An amendment under this Section 9.02 may not make any change that adversely affects the rights
under Article XI of any holder of Senior Indebtedness unless the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness pursuant to its terms consent to the change.

     Promptly after an amendment under Section 9.01 and this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the
Company shall mail to Securityholders a notice briefly describing the amendment. Any failure of
the Company to mail such notice shall not in any way impair or affect the validity of such
amendment, supplement or waiver.

     It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve
the particular form of any proposed amendment or supplement, but it shall be sufficient if such
consent approves the substance thereof.

     9.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

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

     9.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents.

     Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a
continuing consent by 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. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent
as to its Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before
the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective.

     An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and
thereafter binds every Securityholder.

     After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective with respect to the Securities, it
shall bind every Securityholder unless it makes a change described in Section 9.02. In that case,
the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to it
and, provided that notice of such amendment, supplement or waiver is reflected on a Security that
evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, every subsequent Holder of a Security
or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security.

     9.05 Notation on or Exchange of Securities.

     If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security, the Company may require
the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate
notation on the Security as directed and prepared by the Company about the changed terms and return
it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company so determines, the Company in exchange for the
Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed
terms.

     9.06 Trustee Protected.

     The Trustee need not sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this
Article IX that adversely affects the Trustee’s rights, duties, liabilities or immunities. The
Trustee shall be entitled to receive and conclusively rely upon an Opinion of Counsel and an
Officers’ Certificate that any supplemental indenture, amendment or waiver is permitted or
authorized pursuant to the Indenture.

ARTICLE X

[RESERVED]

ARTICLE XI

SUBORDINATION

     11.01 Agreement to Subordinate.

     The Company agrees, and each Securityholder by accepting a Security agrees, that the payment
of all amounts due with respect to the Securities is subordinated in right of payment, to the
extent and in the manner provided in this Article XI, to the prior payment in full of all Senior
Indebtedness and that the subordination is for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness.

     Money and securities held in trust pursuant to Article VIII are not subject to the
subordination provisions of this Article XI.

     11.02 Certain Definitions.

     “Indebtedness” means, with respect to any person, the principal of, and premium, if any, and
interest on (a) all indebtedness of such person for borrowed money (including all indebtedness
evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or other securities sold by such person for money), (b) all
obligations incurred by such person in the acquisition (whether by way of purchase, merger,
consolidation or otherwise and whether by such person or another person) of any business, real
property or other assets (except trade payables), (c) guarantees by such person of indebtedness
described in clause (a) or (b) of another person, (d) all renewals, extensions, refundings,
deferrals, restructurings, amendments and modifications of any such indebtedness, obligation or
guarantee, (e) all reimbursement obligations of such person with respect to letters of credit,
bankers’ acceptances or similar facilities issued for the account of such person, (f) all capital
lease obligations of such person and (g) all net obligations of such person under interest rate
swap, currency exchange or similar agreements of such person.

     “Representative” means the Trustee or other trustee, agent or representative for an issue of
Senior Indebtedness.

     “Senior Indebtedness” means all Indebtedness of the Company outstanding at any time,
including, without limitation, the Company’s
31/8% Convertible Notes due 2025, except the Securities,
Indebtedness that by its terms provides that it shall not be “senior” in right of payment to the
Securities or Indebtedness that by its terms provides that it shall be “pari passu” or “junior” in
right of payment to the Securities. Senior Indebtedness does not include Indebtedness of the
Company to any of its subsidiaries or the Company’s 1.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2023.

     11.03 Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy.

     Upon any distribution of assets to creditors of the Company in a liquidation, winding up or
dissolution of the Company, or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar
proceeding relating to the Company or its property:

     (i) holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive payment in full of the
principal of and interest (including interest accruing after the commencement of any such
proceeding) to the date of payment on the Senior Indebtedness before Securityholders shall
be

-28-

 

entitled to receive any payment from the Company of amounts due with respect to the
Securities; and

     (ii) until the Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, any distribution to which
Securityholders would be entitled from the Company but for this Article XI shall be made to
holders of Senior Indebtedness, as their interests may appear, except the Securityholders
may receive securities that are subordinated to Senior Indebtedness to at least the same
extent as the Securities and payments made pursuant to Sections 8.01 and 8.02.

     11.04 Company Not To Make Payments with Respect to Securities in Certain
Circumstances.

     No payment of amounts due may be made by the Company, directly or indirectly, with respect to
the Securities (including in connection with a mandatory redemption) or to acquire any of the
Securities at any time if a default in payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest
on Senior Indebtedness exists beyond any applicable grace period, unless and until such default
shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist. During the continuance of any
default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness pursuant to which any Senior Indebtedness has been
issued (other than default in payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any
Senior Indebtedness), permitting the holders thereof to accelerate the maturity thereof, no payment
may be made by the Company, directly or indirectly, of any amount due with respect to the
Securities (a “Payment Blockage”) until the earlier of (i) the date on which such default has been
cured or waived, (ii) 180 days following receipt of written notice (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) to
the Company from any holder or holders thereof or its Representative or Representatives or the
trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instrument evidencing any such Senior
Indebtedness may have been issued, that such a default has occurred and is continuing, (iii) the
date on which such Senior Indebtedness is discharged or paid in full or (iv) the date of which the
imposition of such Payment Blockage shall have been terminated by written notice to such trustee or
the Company from such trustee or other representative initiating such Payment Blockage.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no new Payment Blockage Notice shall be given until a period of at
least 365 consecutive days shall have elapsed since the beginning of the prior Payment Blockage
period. No default (other than a default in payment) that existed or was continuing on the date of
delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice shall be the basis for any subsequent Payment Blockage
Notice, unless such default has been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive
days. However, if the maturity of such Senior Indebtedness is accelerated, no payment may be made
by the Company on the Securities until such Senior Indebtedness that has matured has been paid or
such acceleration has been cured or waived.

     Regardless of anything to the contrary herein, nothing shall prevent (a) any payment by the
Trustee to the Securityholders of amounts deposited with it pursuant to Article VIII or (b) any
payment by the Trustee or the Paying Agent as permitted by Section 11.12. Nothing contained in
this Article XI will limit the right of the Trustee or the Securityholders to take any action to
accelerate the maturity of the Securities pursuant to Section 6.02 or to pursue any rights or
remedies hereunder.

     11.05 Acceleration of Securities.

     If payment of the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall
promptly notify holders of Senior Indebtedness of the acceleration.

     11.06 When Distribution Must Be Paid Over.

     In the event that the Company shall make any payment to the Trustee with respect to the
Securities at a time when such payment is prohibited by Section 11.03 or 11.04, such payment shall
be held by the Trustee, in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid forthwith over and delivered
to, the holders of

-29-

 

Senior Indebtedness (pro rata as to each of such holders on the basis of the respective
amounts of Senior Indebtedness held by them) or their Representative or the trustee under the
indenture or other agreement (if any) pursuant to which Senior Indebtedness may have been issued,
as their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness
remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full in accordance with
its terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of
Senior Indebtedness.

     If a distribution is made to Securityholders, that because of this Article XI should not have
been made to them, the Securityholders who receive the distribution shall hold it in trust for
holders of Senior Indebtedness and pay it over to them as their interests may appear.

     11.07 Notice by Company.

     The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent in writing of any facts
known to the Company that would cause a payment of any amount due with respect to the Securities to
violate this Article XI, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the subordination of the
Securities to the Senior Indebtedness provided in this Article XI.

     11.08 Subrogation.

     After all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full and until the Securities are paid in full,
Securityholders shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Indebtedness of the Company
ranking pari passu with the Securities) to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive
distributions applicable to Senior Indebtedness to the extent that distributions otherwise payable
to the Securityholders have been applied to the payment of Senior Indebtedness. A distribution
made under this Article XI to holders of Senior Indebtedness which otherwise would have been made
to Securityholders is not, as between the Company and Securityholders, a payment by the Company on
Senior Indebtedness.

     11.09 Relative Rights.

     This Article XI defines the relative rights of Securityholders and holders of Senior
Indebtedness. Nothing in this Indenture shall:

     (i) impair, as between the Company, on the one hand, and Securityholders, on the other
hand, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay all amounts
due with respect to the Securities in accordance with their terms;

     (ii) affect the relative rights of Securityholders and creditors of the Company other
than holders of Senior Indebtedness; or

     (iii) prevent the Trustee or any Securityholder from exercising its available remedies
upon a Default or Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness
to receive distributions otherwise payable to Securityholders.

     Upon any distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article XI, the Trustee,
subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02, and the Holders of the Securities shall be
entitled to rely upon any order or decree by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such
dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate of
the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any distribution to the Trustee or the
Holders of the Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in
such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company,
the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid

-30-

 

or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article XI. Nothing
contained in this Article XI or elsewhere in this Indenture or in any Security is intended to or
shall affect the obligation of the Company to make, or prevent the Company from making, at any time
except during the pendency of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization
proceeding, and except during the continuance of any default specified in Section 11.04 (not cured
or waived), payments at any time of all amounts due with respect to the Securities.

     11.10 Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Company.

     No right of any holder of Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination of the indebtedness
evidenced by the Securities shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company or by the
failure of the Company to comply with this Indenture.

     11.11 Distribution or Notice to Representative.

     Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Indebtedness, the
distribution may be made and the notice given to their Representatives.

     11.12 Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent.

     The Trustee or Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Securities until it receives
written notice of facts that would cause a payment of amounts due with respect to the Securities to
violate this Article XI. Only the Company or a Representative or a holder of an issue of Senior
Indebtedness that has no Representative may give the notice.

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

     The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Indebtedness with the same
rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights.

     The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness and shall not be liable to any such holder if it shall mistakenly pay over or
distribute to Securityholders or the Company or any other person money or assets to which any
holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article XI or otherwise.

     11.13 Officers’ Certificate.

     If there occurs an event referred to in Section 11.03 or 11.04, the Company shall promptly
give to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate (on which the Trustee may conclusively rely)
identifying all holders of Senior Indebtedness or their Representatives and the principal amount of
Senior Indebtedness then

-31-

 

outstanding held by each such holder and stating the reasons why such Officers’ Certificate is
being delivered to the Trustee.

     11.14 Not to Prevent Events of Default.

     The failure to make any payment due with respect to the Securities by reason of any provision
of this Article XI shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event of Default under
Section 6.01.

ARTICLE XII

required to be open in the City of New York, in the State of New York or in the city in which the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee is located. If a payment date is a Legal Holiday at a place
of payment, payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal
Holiday, and no interest shall accrue on that payment for the intervening period.

     A “business day” is a day other than a Legal Holiday.

     12.08 No Recourse Against Others.

     No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the
Company, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities
or this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or
their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The
waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issuance of the Securities.

     12.09 Duplicate Originals.

     The parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an
original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. Delivery of an executed

Company or any of its subsidiaries. Any such indenture, loan or debt agreement may not be used to
interpret this Indenture.

     12.12 Successors.

     All agreements of the Company in this Indenture and the Securities shall bind their respective
successors. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors.

     12.13 Separability.

     In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities 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 and a Holder shall have no claim therefor against any party
hereto.

[REVERSE OF SECURITY]

WEBMD HEALTH CORP.

11% Subordinated Pay-In-Kind Note due [      ], 2014

     1. Interest. WebMD Health Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay
interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above. The Company
will pay interest annually on [            ] of each year, with the first payment to be made
on [            ], 2009, to the Holders of record on the immediately preceding [      ],
whether or not such day is a business day. Interest on the Securities will be paid as PIK
Interest. Interest on the Securities will accrue on the principal amount from the most recent date
to which interest has been paid or provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from [          ], 2008. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
The Company will not be required to make any interest payment on the Securities on any day that is
not a business day until the next succeeding business day. Such interest payment made on the next
succeeding business day will be treated as though it were paid on the original due date and no
interest will accrue on the payment for the additional period of time.

     2. Maturity. The Notes will mature on [           ], 2014.

     3. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted
interest) to the persons who are registered Holders of Securities at the close of business on the
record date set forth on the face of this Security immediately preceding the applicable interest
payment date. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect the principal or
Redemption Price of the Securities. The Company will pay all cash amounts due with respect to the
Securities in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of
public and private debts. Interest accruing on the Securities will be payable through the issuance
of PIK Notes (or by increasing the principal amount of the Securities). However, the Company may
pay the Redemption Price or the principal amount at maturity, as the case may be, by check or wire
payable in such money; provided, however, that a Holder holding Securities with an aggregate
principal amount in excess of $2,000,000 will be paid by wire transfer in immediately available
funds at the election of such Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as this Security is
registered in the name of a Depositary or its nominee, all cash payments hereon shall be made by
wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee.

     4. Paying Agent, Registrar. Initially, Wilmington Trust Company (the “Trustee”) will act as
Paying Agent or Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice.
The Company may act as Paying Agent.

     5. Indenture; Ranking. The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture, dated as of [           ], 2008 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. The terms of the
Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference
to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “Act”) as in effect on the
date of the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Securityholders are
referred to the Indenture and the Act for a statement of such terms. The Securities are general
unsecured subordinated obligations of the Company limited to $[       ],000,000 aggregate principal
amount, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.07 of the Indenture. The Securities rank equal
in right of payment to the Company’s 1.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2023 and subordinate
in right of payment to the Company’s 31/8% Convertible Notes due 2025. Terms used and not otherwise
defined herein that are defined in the Indenture have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture.

A-3

 

     6. Redemption by the Company. At any time and from time to time through the business day
immediately prior to the Maturity Date, the Company will have the right to redeem for Cash all or
any part of the Securities at the applicable Redemption Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest
thereon to, but not including, the Redemption Date, provided that, if such Redemption Date is on or
after an interest record date, but on or prior to the related interest payment date, such interest
will be payable in Cash to the Holders in whose names the Securities are registered at the close of
business on the relevant record date for payment of such interest. In addition, within 30 days of
receipt by the Company of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company shall redeem, pro rata
from all Holders of the Securities, Securities in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds.

     7. Notice of Redemption. At least 20 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date,
the Company shall mail by first-class mail a notice of redemption to each Holder at such Holder’s
registered address. Securities in denominations larger than $100 principal amount may be redeemed
in part but only in positive integral multiples of $100 principal amount (or, if PIK Notes are
issued or PIK Interest is paid, in positive integral multiples of $1.00). On and after the
Redemption Date interest ceases to accrue on Securities or portions of them called for redemption.

     8. [Reserved].

     9. [Reserved].

     10. [Reserved].

     11. Subordination. The Securities are subordinated in right of payment, in the manner and to
the extent set forth in Article XI of the Indenture, to the prior payment in full of all Senior
Indebtedness. Each Holder by accepting a Security agrees to such subordination and authorizes the
Trustee to give it effect.

     12. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Securities are in registered form without coupons
in denominations of $100 principal amount and positive integral multiples of $100 principal amount
subject to the issuance of PIK Interest pursuant to Section 1, in which case PIK Notes may be
issued in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of PIK Interest paid by the Company for
the applicable period, rounded up to the nearest whole dollar. The transfer of Securities may be
registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar may require
a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents. 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. The Registrar need not exchange or register the transfer of any Security
selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Securities to be
redeemed in part. Also, it need not exchange or register the transfer of any Securities for a
period of 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of the Securities selected to be
redeemed and in certain other circumstances provided in the Indenture.

     13. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Security may be treated as the owner of
such Security for all purposes.

     14. Merger or Consolidation. The Company shall not consolidate with or merge with or into, or
convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets to, another person
unless such other person is a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State
thereof or the District of Columbia or a corporation or comparable legal entity organized under the
laws of a foreign jurisdiction (provided, however, that in the case of a transaction where the
surviving entity is organized under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction, the Company may not
consummate the transaction without
first

(i) amending the terms of the Securities to provide that, in the event the Company is
required under the laws of such foreign jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) to
withhold or deduct amounts in respect of taxes from payments made to Securityholders on the
Securities, the Company will pay, subject to certain standard exceptions, such additional amounts
to the holders as may be necessary so that each Securityholder will receive the same amounts it
would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required, and (ii) obtaining an
opinion of tax counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that, under then existing United
States federal income tax laws, there would be no material adverse tax consequences to
Securityholders of the Securities resulting from such transaction); such person assumes by
supplemental indenture all the obligations of the Company, under the Securities and this Indenture;
and immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall exist.

     15. Amendments, Supplements and Waivers. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the
Securities may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, and any existing Default or Event of
Default may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Securities then outstanding. Without notice to or the consent of any Securityholder, the
Indenture or the Securities may be amended or supplemented, with the consent of the Trustee, to
cure any ambiguity, inconsistency or other defect in the Indenture; to comply with Section 5.01 of
the Indenture; to evidence a successor to the Company and the assumption by that successor of the
Company’s obligations under the Indenture and the Securities; to evidence and provide for the
acceptance of the appointment under the Indenture of a successor Trustee; to make any changes or
modifications to the Indenture necessary in connection with the registration of the Securities
under the Securities Act and the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA; to secure the
obligations of the Company in respect of the Securities; to add a guarantor or co-obligor; or to
add to covenants of the Company described in the Indenture for the benefit of Securityholders or to
surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company.

     16. Defaults and Remedies. An Event of Default includes the occurrence of those events set
forth in Section 6.01 of the Indenture. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then
outstanding may declare all the Securities to be due and payable immediately, except as provided in
the Indenture. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(iv) or (v) of the Indenture with
respect to the Company occurs, the principal of and accrued interest on all the Securities shall
ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the
part of the Trustee or any Securityholder. The Company must furnish an annual compliance
certificate to the Trustee.

     17. [Reserved].

     18. Trustee Dealings with the Company. The Trustee under the Indenture, or any banking
institution serving as successor Trustee thereunder, in its individual or any other capacity, may
make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and
may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.

     19. No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future director, officer, employee or
stockholder, as such, of the Company shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company
under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such
obligations or their creation. Each Securityholder by accepting a Security waives and releases all
such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the
Securities.

     20. Authentication. This Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual
signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.
