PURERAY CORPORATION

2008 STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN

ARTICLE 1

DEFINITIONS

     As used in this Plan, the following terms have the following meanings unless the context
clearly indicates to the contrary:

     “Award” means a grant of Restricted Stock.

     “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company.

     “Cause” means (i) the commission of an act of fraud, embezzlement, theft or proven
dishonesty, or any other illegal act or practice (whether or not resulting in criminal prosecution
or conviction), including theft or destruction of property of the Company, a Parent, or a
Subsidiary, or any other act or practice which the Committee shall, in good faith, deem to have
resulted in the recipient’s becoming unbondable under the Company’s, a Parent’s or any Subsidiary’s
fidelity bond; (ii) the willful engagement in misconduct which is deemed by the Committee, in good
faith, to be materially injurious to the Company, a Parent or any Subsidiary, monetarily or
otherwise, including, but not limited to, improperly disclosing trade secrets or other confidential
or sensitive business information and data about the Company, a Parent or any Subsidiary and
competing with the Company, a Parent or any Subsidiary, or soliciting employees, consultants or
customers of the Company, a Parent or any Subsidiary in violation of law or any employment or other
agreement to which the recipient is a party; (iii) the continued failure or habitual neglect by a
person who is an Employee to perform his or her duties with the Company, a Parent or any
Subsidiary; or (iv) other violation of rules or policies of the Company, a Parent or any
Subsidiary, or conduct evidencing willful disregard of the interests of the Company, a Parent or
any Subsidiary. For purposes of this Plan, no act or failure to act by the recipient shall be
deemed “willful” unless done or omitted to be done by the recipient not in good faith and without
reasonable belief that the recipient’s action or omission was in the best interest of the Company,
a Parent or any Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the recipient has entered into an
employment agreement that is binding as of the date of employment termination, and if such
employment agreement defines “Cause,” then the definition of “Cause” in such agreement shall apply
to such recipient under this Plan. “Cause” shall be determined by the Committee based upon
information presented by the Company and the Employee and shall be final and binding on all parties
hereto.

     “Code” means the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, including effective date
and transition rules (whether or not codified). Any reference herein to a specific section of the
Code shall be deemed to include a reference to any corresponding provision of future law.

     “Committee” means a committee of at least two Directors appointed from time to time by
the Board, having the duties and authority set forth herein in addition to any other authority
granted by the Board; provided, however, that with respect to any Options or Awards granted to an
individual who is also a Section 16 Insider, the Committee shall consist of either the entire Board
of

1

 

Directors or a committee of at least two Directors (who need not be members of the Committee with
respect to Options or Awards granted to any other individuals) who are Non-Employee Directors, and
all authority and discretion shall be exercised by such Non-Employee Directors, and references
herein to the “Committee” means such Non-Employee Directors insofar as any actions or
determinations of the Committee shall relate to or affect Options or Awards made to or held by any
Section 16 Insider. In selecting the Committee, the Board shall also consider the benefits under
Section 162(m) of the Code of having a Committee composed of “outside directors” (as that term is
defined in the Code) for certain grants of Options to highly compensated executives. At any time
that the Board shall not have appointed a committee as described above, any reference herein to the
Committee means a reference to the Board.

     “Company” means PureRay Corporation, a Washington corporation.

     “Corporate Transaction” means any of the following transactions to which the Company
is a party: (a) a merger, consolidation, share exchange, combination or other transaction or
series of transactions (other than a public offering by the Company for cash of the Company’s
capital stock, debt or other securities, and other than ordinary public trading of such securities)
in which the persons holding securities possessing more than 50% of the total combined voting power
of the Company’s outstanding securities immediately after such transaction are different from the
persons holding those securities immediately before such transaction; or (b) the sale, transfer or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

     “Director” means a member of the Board and any person who is an advisory or honorary
director of the Company if such person is considered a director for the purposes of Section 16 of
the Exchange Act, as determined by reference to such Section 16 and to the rules, regulations,
judicial decisions, and interpretative or “no-action” positions with respect thereto of the SEC, as
the same may be in effect or set forth from time to time.

     “Employee” means an employee (as defined in Section 3401(c) of the Code and the
regulations promulgated thereunder) of the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary.

     “Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Any reference herein to a
specific section of the Exchange Act shall be deemed to include a reference to any corresponding
provision of future law.

     “Exercise Price” means the price at which an Optionee may purchase a share of Stock
under a Stock Option Agreement.

     “Fair Market Value” on any date means (i) the closing sales price of the Stock on such
date on the national securities exchange on which the Stock is traded on that date; (ii) if the
Stock is not traded on any national securities exchange, (a) the closing sales price of the Stock
on the over-the-counter market on that date or (b) the average selling price during the 5 days
before such date (the “Valuation Period”), provided that the Committee must irrevocably specify the
commitment to grant the stock right with an exercise price set using such an average selling price
before the beginning of the Valuation Period; or (iii) if the Stock is not readily tradable on any
national securities exchange or on the over-the-counter market, the fair market value determined

2

 

by the Board or the Committee based on the reasonable application of a reasonable valuation method
that shall take into consideration all available information material to the value of the
Stock, including the opinions of independent experts, the value of the tangible and intangible
assets of the Company, the present value of anticipated future cash flows of the Company, the
market value of companies and other entities engaged in trades or businesses substantially similar
to those engaged in by the Company the value of which can be readily determined through objective,
nondiscretionary means, recent arm’s length transactions involving the sale or transfer of Stock,
and other relevant factors such as control premiums or discounts for lack of marketability.

     “Grantee” means a person who is an Optionee or a person who has received an Award of
Restricted Stock.

     “Incentive Stock Option” means an option to purchase any stock of the Company, which
complies with and is subject to the terms, limitations and conditions of Section 422 of the Code
and any regulations promulgated with respect thereto.

     “Immediate Family” means a Grantee’s spouse, the lineal descendant or antecedent,
brother or sister, of Grantee or Grantee’s spouse, or the spouse of any lineal descendant or
antecedent, brother or sister of Grantee, or Grantee’s spouse, whether or not any of the above are
adopted.

     “Non-Employee Director” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 16b-3 under the
Exchange Act, as the same may be in effect from time to time, or in any successor rule thereto, and
shall be determined for all purposes under the Plan according to interpretative or “no-action”
positions with respect thereto issued by the SEC.

     “Officer” means a person who constitutes an officer of the Company for the purposes of
Section 16 of the Exchange Act, as determined by reference to such Section 16 and to the rules,
regulations, judicial decisions, and interpretative or “no-action” positions with respect to such
rule of the SEC, as the same may be in effect or set forth from time to time.

     “Option” means an option, whether or not an Incentive Stock Option, to purchase Stock
granted pursuant to the provisions of Article 6 of this Plan.

     “Optionee” means a person to whom an Option has been granted under this Plan.

     “Parent” means any corporation (other than the Company) in an unbroken chain of
corporations ending with the Company if, at the time of the grant (or modification) of the Option,
each of the corporations other than the Company owns stock possessing 50 percent or more of the
total combined voting power of the classes of stock in one of the other corporations in such chain.

     “Permanent and Total Disability” has the same meaning as given to that term by Code
Section 22(e)(3) and any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder.

3

of the Exchange Act, as provided in Rule 16a-2 promulgated pursuant to the Exchange Act.

     “Stock” means the Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company or, in the
event that the outstanding shares of Stock are hereafter changed into or exchanged for shares of a
different stock or securities of the Company or some other entity, such other stock or securities.

     “Stock Option Agreement” means an agreement between the Company and an Optionee under
which the Optionee may purchase Stock under this Plan, a sample form of which is attached hereto as

     “Subsidiary” means any corporation (other than the Company) in an unbroken chain of

disposition of any kind, including but not limited to transfers to receivers, levying creditors,

whether voluntary or by operation of law, directly or indirectly, except for: (i) a
transfer of vested Stock acquired pursuant to an Option or Award by gift during a Grantee’s
lifetime or on a Grantee’s death by will or intestacy to such Grantee’s Immediate Family or to a
trust or other entity for the benefit of Grantee or Grantee’s Immediate Family or (ii) pursuant to

4

the Company.

ARTICLE 2

THE PLAN

     2.1 Name. This Plan shall be known as the Company’s “2008 Stock Option and Incentive
Plan.”

     2.2 Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of the Company, its
Subsidiaries and its shareholders by affording certain Employees and Directors of the Company and
its Subsidiaries, as well as key consultants and advisors to the Company or any Subsidiary, an
opportunity to acquire or increase their proprietary interests in the Company. The objective of
the issuance of the Options and Awards is to promote the growth and profitability of the Company
and its Subsidiaries because the Grantees will be provided with an additional incentive to achieve
the Company’s objectives through participation in its success and growth and by encouraging their
continued association with or service to the Company.

     2.3 Effective Date. The Plan shall become effective on the date it is adopted by the
Board; provided, however, that if the Company’s shareholders have not approved the Plan on or prior
to the first anniversary of such effective date, then all options granted under the Plan shall be
non-Incentive Stock Options.

ARTICLE 3

PARTICIPANTS

     The class of persons eligible to participate in the Plan shall consist of all persons whose
participation in the Plan the Committee determines to be in the best interests of the Company,
which shall include, but not be limited to, Employees or Directors of the Company or any
Subsidiary, as well as key consultants and advisors to the Company or any Subsidiary.

ARTICLE 4

ADMINISTRATION

     4.1 Duties and Powers of the Committee. The Plan shall be administered by the
Committee. The Committee shall select one of its members as its Chairman and shall hold its
meetings at such times and places as it may determine. The Committee shall keep minutes of its
meetings and shall make such rules and regulations for the conduct of its business as it may deem
necessary. The Committee shall have the power to act by unanimous written consent in lieu of a
meeting, and to meet telephonically. In administering the Plan, the Committee’s actions and
determinations shall be binding on all interested parties. The Committee shall have the power to
grant Options or Awards in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and may grant Options and
Awards singly, in combination, or in tandem; provided, however, that the Committee shall not grant
Incentive Stock Options in tandem
with Options which do not qualify as Incentive Stock Options in such a manner that the exercise of
one affects the right to exercise the other. Subject to the

5

 

provisions of the Plan, the Committee
shall have the discretion and authority to determine those individuals to whom Options or Awards
will be granted and whether such Options shall be accompanied by the right to receive Reload
Options, the number of shares of Stock subject to each Option or Award, such other matters as are
specified herein, and any other terms and conditions of a Stock Option Agreement or Restricted
Stock Agreement. To the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may
give a Grantee an election to surrender an Option or Award in exchange for the grant of a new
Option or Award, and shall have the authority to amend or modify an outstanding Stock Option
Agreement or Restricted Stock Agreement, or to waive any provision thereof, provided that the
Grantee consents to such action.

     4.2 Interpretation; Rules. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the
Committee also shall have complete authority to interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend, and
rescind rules and regulations relating to it, to determine the details and provisions of each Stock
Option Agreement, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the
administration of the Plan, including, without limitation, the amending or altering of the Plan and
any Options or Awards granted under the Plan as may be required to comply with or to conform to any
federal, state, or local laws or regulations.

     4.3 No Liability. Neither any member of the Board nor any member of the Committee
shall be liable to any person for any act or determination made in good faith with respect to the
Plan or any Option or Award granted hereunder.

     4.4 Majority Rule. A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a
quorum, and any action taken by a majority at a meeting at which a quorum is present, or any action
taken without a meeting evidenced by a writing executed by all the members of the Committee, shall
constitute the action of the Committee.

     4.5 Company Assistance. The Company shall supply full and timely information to the
Committee on all matters relating to eligible persons, their employment, death, retirement,
disability, or other termination of employment or service, and such other pertinent facts as the
Committee may require. The Company shall furnish the Committee with such clerical and other
assistance as is necessary in the performance of its duties.

ARTICLE 5

SHARES OF STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN

     5.1 Limitations. Subject to any antidilution adjustment pursuant to the provisions of
Section 5.2 of this Plan, the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be issued hereunder shall
be 5,500,000 shares of Stock. Any or all shares of Stock subject to the Plan may be issued in any
combination of Incentive Stock Options, non-Incentive Stock Options or Restricted Stock, and the
amount of Stock subject to the Plan may be increased from time to time in accordance with Article
10, provided that the total number of shares of Stock
issuable pursuant to Incentive Stock Options may not be increased to more than 5,500,000 (other
than pursuant to anti-dilution adjustments) without shareholder approval. Shares subject to an
Option or issued as an Award may be either authorized and unissued shares or shares issued and
later acquired by the Company. The shares covered by any unexercised portion of an Option that has
terminated for any reason (except as set

6

 

forth in the following paragraph), or any forfeited
portion of an Award, may again be optioned or awarded under the Plan, and such shares shall not be
considered as having been optioned or issued in computing the number of shares of Stock remaining
available for option or award hereunder.

     5.2 Adjustments Upon Occurrence of Certain Events.

          (a) In the event of a Corporate Transaction, the Committee, in its discretion, may, but need
not notwithstanding other provisions of this Plan:

     (i) declare that (1) all Options outstanding at the time of such Corporate
Transaction but not otherwise fully exercisable, shall become exercisable
immediately, notwithstanding the provisions of the respective Stock Option
Agreements regarding exercisability, so that such Options shall become exercisable
for all shares at the time subject to such Options; (2) all such Options shall
terminate on a stated date or within a stated number of days after the Committee
gives written notice of the immediate right to exercise all such Options and of the
decision to terminate all Options not exercised by such date or within such period;
and/or (3) all then-remaining restrictions pertaining to Awards under the Plan shall
immediately lapse; and/or

     (ii) issue or assume Awards or Options, or arrange that all Options or Awards
granted under the Plan shall be assumed by the surviving corporation in the
Corporate Transaction or substituted on an equitable basis with options or
restricted stock issued by such surviving corporation, and provide notice thereof to
all Grantees of such adjustment.

          (b) If, in a transaction that is not a Corporate Transaction, (x) the outstanding shares of
Stock are changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of
the Company by reason of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, exchange of shares,
or stock split or stock dividend, (y) there is any material spin-off or spin-out, or other material
distribution of assets, or (z) there is any assumption and conversion to the Plan by the Company of
an acquired company’s outstanding option grants, then:

	 	(i)	 	the aggregate number and kind of shares of Stock for
which Options or Awards may be granted hereunder shall be adjusted
appropriately by the Committee; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	the rights of Optionees (concerning the number of shares subject to Options and the Exercise Price) under outstanding Options
and the rights of the holders of Awards (concerning the terms and
conditions of the lapse of any
then-remaining restrictions), shall be adjusted appropriately by the
Committee.

          (c) Liquidation or Dissolution. In the event of a liquidation or dissolution of the
Company in a transaction not involving a Corporate Transaction, then notwithstanding other
provisions hereof: the adoption of a plan of dissolution or liquidation of the Company shall cause
all

7

 

then-remaining restrictions pertaining to Awards under the Plan to lapse, and shall cause every
Option outstanding under the Plan to terminate to the extent not exercised prior to the adoption of
the plan of dissolution or liquidation by the shareholders; and the Committee may declare all
Options granted under the Plan to be exercisable at a time prior to the liquidation or dissolution
to be determined by the Committee, notwithstanding the provisions of the respective Stock Option
Agreements regarding exercisability.

          (d) Committee Has Discretion. The adjustments and other actions described in
paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Section 5.2, if any, and the manner of their application, shall
be determined solely by the Committee, and any such adjustment may provide for the elimination of
fractional share interests; provided, however, that any adjustment made by the Committee shall be
made in a manner that will not cause an Incentive Stock Option to be other than an Incentive Stock
Option under applicable statutory and regulatory provisions; and provided further, that if an
adjustment is required because of a stock split or stock dividend as a result of which the number
of outstanding shares of Stock is increased, then without any further action by the Committee (A)
the aggregate number of shares of Stock for which Options or Awards may be granted hereunder, and
the aggregate number of shares of Stock Purchasable under each Stock Option Agreement, shall be
proportionately increased, and (B) the Exercise Price under each Stock Option Agreement shall be
proportionately decreased. The adjustments required under this Article 5 shall apply to any
successors of the Company and adjustments under 5.2(b) shall be made regardless of the number or
type of successive events requiring such adjustments.

ARTICLE 6

OPTIONS

     6.1 Types of Options Granted. The Committee may, under this Plan, grant either
Incentive Stock Options or Options which do not qualify as Incentive Stock Options. Within the
limitations provided in this Plan, both types of Options may be granted to the same person at the
same time, or at different times, under different terms and conditions, as long as the terms and
conditions of each Option are consistent with the provisions of the Plan. Without limitation of
the foregoing, Options may be granted subject to conditions based on the financial performance of
the Company or any other factor the Committee deems relevant. An attempted exercise of an Incentive
Stock Option outside of those time parameters will be permitted, but the Incentive Stock Option
thereupon will become a non-Incentive Stock Option subject to all the terms of the Plan governing
non-Incentive Stock Options.

     6.2 Option Grant and Agreement. Each Option granted hereunder shall be evidenced by
minutes of a meeting or the written consent of the Committee and by a written Stock Option
Agreement executed by the Company and the Optionee. The terms of the Option, including the
Option’s duration, time or times of exercise,
Exercise Price, whether the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option, and whether the
Option is to be accompanied by the right to receive a Reload Option, shall be stated in the Stock
Option Agreement. Unless a Stock Option Agreement specifically provides that that the Option
granted thereunder is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option, such Option shall not be an
Incentive Stock Option. No Incentive Stock Option may be granted more than ten years after the
earlier to occur of the effective date of the Plan or the date the Plan is approved by the
Company’s shareholders.

8

 

     Separate Stock Option Agreements may be used for Options intended to be Incentive Stock
Options and those not so intended, but any failure to use such separate agreements shall not
invalidate, or otherwise adversely affect the Optionee’s interest in, the Options evidenced
thereby.

     6.3 Optionee Limitations. The Committee shall not grant an Incentive Stock Option to
any person who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted:

          (a) is not an Employee; or

          (b) owns or is considered to own stock possessing at least 10% of the total combined voting
power of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its Parent or Subsidiary corporations;
provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply if at the time an Incentive Stock Option is
granted the Exercise Price is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock subject to such
Option and such Option by its terms would not be exercisable after five years from the date on
which the Option is granted. For the purpose of this subsection (b), a person shall be considered
to own: (i) the stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for his or her brothers and sisters
(whether by whole or half blood), spouse, ancestors and lineal descendants; (ii) the stock owned,
directly or indirectly, by or for a corporation, partnership, estate, or trust in proportion to
such person’s stock interest, partnership interest or beneficial interest therein; and (iii) the
stock which such person may purchase under any outstanding options of the Company or of any Parent
or Subsidiary of the Company.

     6.4 $100,000 and Section 162(m) Limitations. Except as provided below, the Committee
shall not grant an Incentive Stock Option to, or modify the exercise provisions of outstanding
Incentive Stock Options held by, any person who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted
(or modified), would thereby receive or hold any Incentive Stock Options of the Company and any
Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, such that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of
the respective dates of grant or modification of each option) of the stock with respect to which
such Incentive Stock Options (including Reload Options) are exercisable for the first time during
any calendar year is in excess of $100,000 (or such other limit as may be prescribed by the Code
from time to time); provided that the foregoing restriction on modification of outstanding
Incentive Stock Options shall not preclude the Committee from modifying an outstanding Incentive
Stock Option if, as a result of such modification and with the consent of the Optionee, such Option
no longer constitutes an Incentive Stock Option; and provided that, if the $100,000 limitation (or
such other limitation prescribed by the Code) described in this Section 6.4 is exceeded, the
Incentive Stock Option, the granting or modification of which resulted in the exceeding of such
limit, shall be treated as an Incentive Stock
Option up to the limitation and the excess shall be treated as an Option not qualifying as an
Incentive Stock Option.

     6.5 Exercise Price. The Exercise Price per share of Stock subject to each Option
shall not be less than the Fair Market Value per share of the Stock on the date of grant. The
Committee shall in good faith set the Fair Market Value of Options and Awards. In the event the
Fair Market Value should be determined to be otherwise, the Company shall have no liability for
adverse tax consequences that that Grantee may incur as a result of such determination.

9

 

     6.6 Exercise Period. The period for the exercise of each Option granted hereunder
shall be determined by the Committee, but the Stock Option Agreement with respect to each Option
intended to be an Incentive Stock Option shall provide that such Option shall not be exercisable
after the expiration of ten years from the date of grant (or modification) of the Option. In
addition, no Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable prior to
shareholder approval of the Plan.

     6.7 Option Exercise.

          (a) Unless otherwise provided in the Stock Option Agreement or Section 6.6 of this Plan, an
Option may be exercised at any time or from time to time during the term of the Option as to any or
all full shares which have become Purchasable under the provisions of the Option, but not at any
time as to fewer than 100 shares unless the remaining shares that have become so Purchasable are
fewer than 100 shares. The Committee shall have the authority to prescribe in any Stock Option
Agreement that the Option may be exercised only in accordance with a vesting schedule during the
term of the Option.

          (b) An Option shall be exercised by (i) delivery to the Company at its principal office of a
written notice of exercise with respect to a specified number of shares of Stock and (ii) payment
to the Company at that office of the full amount of the Exercise Price for such number of shares in
accordance with Section 6.7(c). If requested by an Optionee, an Option (other than an Incentive
Stock Option) may be exercised with the involvement of a stockbroker in accordance with the federal
margin rules set forth in Regulation T (in which case the certificates representing the underlying
shares will be delivered by the Company directly to the stockbroker).

          (c) The Exercise Price is to be paid in full in cash upon the exercise of the Option, and the
Company shall not be required to deliver certificates for the shares purchased until such payment
has been made; provided, however, that in lieu of cash, in the Company’s sole discretion, all or
any portion of the Exercise Price may be paid by tendering to the Company shares of Stock duly
endorsed for transfer and owned by the Optionee, or by authorization to the Company to withhold
shares of Stock otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option, in each case to be credited against
the Exercise Price at the Fair Market Value of such shares on the date of exercise (however, no
fractional shares may be so transferred, and the Company shall not be obligated to make any cash
payments in consideration of any excess of the aggregate Fair Market Value of shares transferred
over the aggregate Exercise Price).

          (d) In addition to and at the time of payment of the Exercise Price, the Optionee shall pay to
the Company in cash the full amount of any federal, state, and local income, employment, or other
withholding taxes applicable to the taxable income of such Optionee resulting from such exercise;
provided, however, that in the discretion of the Committee any Stock Option Agreement may provide
that all or any portion of such tax obligations may, upon the irrevocable election of the Optionee,
be paid by tendering to the Company whole shares of Stock duly endorsed for transfer and owned by
the Optionee, or by authorization to the Company to withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable
upon exercise of the Option, in either case in that number of shares having a Fair Market Value on
the date of exercise equal to the amount of such taxes thereby being paid,

10

 

and subject to such
restrictions as to the approval and timing of any such election as the Committee may from time to
time determine to be necessary or appropriate to satisfy the conditions of the exemption set forth
in Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, if such rule is applicable.

          (e) The holder of an Option shall not have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to
the shares of Stock subject to the Option until such shares have been issued and transferred to the
Optionee upon the exercise of the Option.

     6.8 Reload Options.

          (a) The Committee may specify in a Stock Option Agreement (or may otherwise determine in its
sole discretion) that a Reload Option shall be granted, without further action of the Committee,
(i) to an Optionee who exercises an Option (including a Reload Option) by surrendering shares of
Stock in payment of amounts specified in Sections 6.7(c) or 6.7(d) of this Plan, (ii) for the same
number of shares as are surrendered to pay such amounts, (iii) as of the date of such payment and
at an Exercise Price equal to the Fair Market Value of the Stock on such date (except Reload
Options granted with or upon exercise of Incentive Stock Options granted to a person described in
Section 6.3(b) hereof, in which case the Exercise Price shall be equal to 110% of the Fair Market
Value of the Stock on such date), and (iv) otherwise on the same terms and conditions as the Option
whose exercise has occasioned such payment, except as provided below and subject to such other
contingencies, conditions, or other terms as the Committee shall specify at the time such exercised
Option is granted; provided, however, that the Committee may require that the shares surrendered in
payment as provided above must have been held by the Optionee for at least six months prior to such
surrender.

          (b) Unless provided otherwise in the Stock Option Agreement, a Reload Option may not be
exercised by an Optionee (i) prior to the end of a one-year period from the date that the Reload
Option is granted, and (ii) unless the Optionee retains beneficial ownership of the shares of Stock
issued to such Optionee upon exercise of the Option referred to above in Section 6.8(a)(i) for a
period of one year from the date of such exercise.

     6.9 Nontransferability of Option. Other than as provided below, no Option shall be
Transferable by an Optionee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, in the
case of non-Incentive Stock Options, pursuant to a domestic relations order issued by a court of
competent jurisdiction, and, during the lifetime of an Optionee, Options shall be exercisable only
by such Optionee (or by such Optionee’s guardian or
legal representative, should one be appointed). However, in connection with the Optionee’s estate
plan, a Non-Incentive Stock Option, to the extent vested, may be assigned in whole or in part
during Optionee’s lifetime to one or more members of the Optionee’s Immediate Family or to a
partnership, trust, limited liability company, or other entity established for the exclusive
benefit of one or more such family members. The assigned portion shall be exercisable only by the
person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in the vested Option pursuant to such
assignment. The terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for
this Option immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set forth in such documents issued to
the assignee as the Committee may deem appropriate. No Optionee shall Transfer any Stock received
pursuant to the exercise of an Option issued pursuant to this Plan unless (i) Optionee has first
offered such Stock to the Company in accordance with

11

 

Section 10.1 and such assignee agrees in
writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Plan, including but not limited to Article
10 and (ii) such Transfer is made in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws,
to the Company’s satisfaction.

     6.10 Termination of Employment or Service. The Committee shall have the power to
specify, with respect to the Options granted to a particular Optionee, the effect upon such
Optionee’s right to exercise an Option of termination of such Optionee’s employment or service
under various circumstances, which effect may include immediate or deferred termination of such
Optionee’s rights under an Option, or acceleration of the date at which an Option may be exercised
in full; provided, that in no event may an Incentive Stock Option be exercised after the
expiration of ten years from the date of its grant. Further, in no event may an Incentive Stock
Option be exercised more than three months following termination of such Optionee’s employment,
unless termination is due to Optionee’s death or Permanent and Total Disability, in which case an
Incentive Stock Option may be exercised within one year following such termination.

     6.11 Employment Rights. Nothing in the Plan or in any Stock Option Agreement shall
confer on any person any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
or shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate
such person’s employment at any time.

     6.12 Certain Successor Options. To the extent not inconsistent with the terms,
limitations and conditions of Code section 422 and any regulations promulgated with respect
thereto, an Option issued in respect of an option held by an employee to acquire stock of any
entity acquired, by merger or otherwise, by the Company (or any Subsidiary of the Company) may
contain terms that differ from those stated in this Article 6, but solely to the extent necessary
to preserve for any such employee the rights and benefits contained in such predecessor option, or
to satisfy the requirements of Code section 424(a).

ARTICLE 7

RESTRICTED STOCK

     7.1 Awards of Restricted Stock. The Committee may grant Awards of Restricted Stock,
which shall be governed by a Restricted
Stock Agreement between the Company and the Grantee (a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit
C). Each Restricted Stock Agreement shall contain such restrictions, terms, and conditions as the
Committee may, in its discretion, determine, and may require that an appropriate legend be placed
on the certificates evidencing the subject Restricted Stock. Shares of Restricted Stock granted
pursuant to an Award hereunder shall be issued in the name of the Grantee as soon as reasonably
practicable after the Award is granted, provided that the Grantee has executed the Restricted Stock
Agreement governing the Award, the appropriate blank stock powers and, in the discretion of the
Committee, an escrow agreement and any other documents which the Committee may require as a
condition to the issuance of such Shares. If a Grantee shall fail to execute the foregoing
documents within any time period prescribed by the Committee, the Award shall be void. At the
discretion of the Committee, Shares issued in connection with an Award shall be deposited together
with the stock powers with an escrow agent designated by the Committee. Unless the Committee
determines otherwise and as set forth in the Restricted Stock Agreement, upon delivery of the
Shares to the escrow agent, the Grantee shall have

12

 

all of the rights of a shareholder with respect
to such Shares, including the right to vote the Shares and to receive all dividends or other
distributions paid or made with respect to the Shares.

     7.2 Non-Transferability. Until any restrictions upon vested Restricted Stock awarded
to a Grantee shall have lapsed in a manner set forth in Section 7.3, such shares of vested
Restricted Stock shall not be Transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution in accordance with this Agreement, or pursuant to domestic relations order issued by a
court of competent jurisdiction, nor shall they be delivered to the Grantee, and thereafter Grantee
shall not Transfer any shares of Stock unless (i) Grantee has first offered such Stock to the
Company in accordance with Section 10.1 and such transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the
terms and conditions of this Plan, including but not limited to Article 10 and (ii) such Transfer
is made in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws to the Company’s
satisfaction.

     7.3 Lapse of Restrictions. Restrictions upon Restricted Stock awarded hereunder shall
lapse at such time or times (but, with respect to any award to a Grantee who is also a Section 16
Insider, not less than six months after the date of the Award) and on such terms and conditions as
the Committee may, in its discretion, determine at the time the Award is granted or thereafter.

     7.4 Termination of Employment or Service. The Committee shall have the power to
specify, with respect to each Award granted to any particular Grantee, the effect upon such
Grantee’s rights with respect to such Restricted Stock of the termination of such Grantee’s
employment or service under various circumstances, which effect may include immediate or deferred
forfeiture of such Restricted Stock or acceleration of the date at which any then-remaining
restrictions shall lapse.

     7.5 Treatment of Dividends. At the time an Award of Restricted Stock is made, the
Committee may, in its discretion, determine that the payment to the Grantee of any dividends, or a
specified portion thereof, declared or paid on such Restricted Stock shall be (i) deferred until
the lapsing of the relevant restrictions and (ii) held by the Company for the account of the
Grantee until such lapsing. In the event of such deferral, there shall
be credited at the end of each year (or portion thereof) interest on the amount of the account at
the beginning of the year at a rate per annum determined by the Committee. Payment of deferred
dividends, together with interest thereon, shall be made upon the lapsing of restrictions imposed
on such Restricted Stock, and any dividends deferred (together with any interest thereon) in
respect of Restricted Stock shall be forfeited upon any forfeiture of such Restricted Stock.

     7.6 Delivery of Shares. Except as provided otherwise in Article 8 below, within a
reasonable period of time following the lapse of the restrictions on shares of Restricted Stock,
the Committee shall cause a stock certificate to be delivered to the Grantee with respect to such
shares and such shares shall be free of all restrictions hereunder.

ARTICLE 8

STOCK CERTIFICATES

     The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate for shares of Stock
purchased upon the attempted exercise of any Option granted hereunder or any portion thereof,

13

 

or
deliver any certificate for shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder, and no attempted exercise
of an Option shall be effective prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:

          (a) The admission of such shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which the Stock is then
listed;

          (b) The completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares which the
Committee shall deem necessary or advisable under any federal or state law or under the rulings or
regulations of the SEC or any other governmental regulatory body;

          (c) The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any federal or state governmental
agency or body which the Committee shall determine to be necessary or advisable; and

          (d) The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the Option as the
Board from time to time may establish for reasons of administrative convenience.

     Stock certificates issued and delivered to Grantees shall bear such restrictive legends as the
Company shall deem necessary or advisable pursuant to applicable federal and state securities laws
including the following:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT
OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNDER THE SECURITIES
LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTIONS. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON
TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED
UNDER THE ACT AND THE APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR
EXEMPTION THEREFROM. INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY MAY BE REQUIRED
TO BEAR THE FINANCIAL RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME.
THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, AT THE EXPENSE OF
THE TRANSFEROR OR TRANSFEREE, IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO
THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT AND
ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RIGHTS OF FIRST
REFUSAL AS SET FORTH IN THE COMPANY’S 2008 STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN ENTERED
INTO BY THE COMPANY AND APPROVED BY THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY. A COPY OF SUCH
AGREEMENT IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY. SUCH RIGHTS OF FIRST
REFUSAL AND RIGHTS IS BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.

The inability of the Company to obtain approval from any regulatory body having authority deemed by
the Company to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Stock pursuant to Options shall
relieve the Company of any liability with respect to the non-issuance or sale of the Stock as to
which such approval shall not have been obtained. The Company shall, however, use reasonable
efforts to obtain all such approvals.

14

 

ARTICLE 9

TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT

     9.1 Termination and Amendment. The Board may at any time terminate or amend the Plan;
provided, however, that the Board (unless its actions are approved or ratified by the shareholders
of the Company within twelve months of the date that the Board amends the Plan) may not amend the
Plan to:

          (a) Increase the total number of shares of Stock issuable pursuant to Incentive Stock Options
under the Plan, except as contemplated in Section 5.2; or

          (b) Change the class of employees eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options that may
participate in the Plan.

     9.2 Effect on Grantee’s Rights. No termination, amendment, or modification of the
Plan shall affect adversely a Grantee’s rights under a Stock Option Agreement or Restricted Stock
Agreement without the consent of the Grantee or his legal representative.

ARTICLE 10

RESTRICTIONS ON STOCK GRANTED UNDER THIS PLAN

     10.1 Right of First Refusal.

          (a) Selling Optionee’s Notice. Before any Grantee may effect any Transfer of any
Stock acquired pursuant to a Grant or Option, such Grantee (the “Selling Grantee”) must
give the Company a written notice signed by the Selling Grantee (the “Selling Grantee’s
Notice”) stating: (a) the Selling Grantee’s bona fide intention to transfer such Stock; (b) the
number of shares of Stock proposed to be transferred (the “Offered Stock”) to each proposed
purchaser or other transferee (“Proposed Transferee”); (c) the name, address and relationship, if
any, to the Selling Grantee of each Proposed Transferee; (d) the bona fide cash price or, in
reasonable detail, other consideration, per share for which the Selling Grantee proposes to
transfer such Offered Stock to each Proposed Transferee (the “Offered Price”); (e) the date
and time of closing the proposed transfer of Stock (the “Closing”); and (f) other relevant
terms of the proposed sale. Upon the request of the Company, the Selling Grantee will promptly
furnish to the Company such other information as may be reasonably requested to establish that the
offer and Proposed Transferee(s) are bona fide.

          (b) Company’s Right of First Refusal. The Company and its assignees shall have a
right of first refusal to purchase the Offered Stock (the “Company’s Right of First
Refusal”), if the Company gives written notice of the exercise of such right to the Selling
Grantee within thirty (30) days (the “Company’s Refusal Period”) after the date of the
Selling Grantee’s Notice to the Company. If the Company does not intend to exercise the Company’s
Right of First Refusal in full or if the Company is not lawfully able to repurchase the Offered
Stock, the

15

 

Company will send written notice thereof (the “Company’s Expiration Notice”) to
the Selling Grantee before the expiration of the Company’s Refusal Period.

          (c) Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Offered Stock to be purchased by the
Company pursuant to the Company’s Right of First Refusal under this Agreement will be the Offered
Price, and will be payable as set forth in Section 10.1(d) hereof. If the Offered Price includes
consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration will be
determined by the Committee in good faith, which determination will be binding upon the Company and
the Selling Grantee absent fraud or error.

          (d) Payment. Payment of the purchase price for Offered Stock purchased by the
Company exercising the Company’s Right of First Refusal will be made within fifteen (15) days after
the expiration of the Company’s Refusal Period. Payment of the purchase price will be made, at the
option of the Company, (a) in cash (by check), (b) by cancellation of all or a portion of any
outstanding indebtedness of the Selling Grantee to the Company, as the case may be, or (c) by any
combination of the foregoing.

          (e) Selling Grantee’s Right to Transfer. If the Company has not elected pursuant to
the Company’s Right of First Refusal to purchase all of the Offered Stock, then the Selling
Grantee may transfer that portion of the Offered Stock permitted to be sold by the Selling Grantee
to any person named as a Proposed Transferee in the Selling Grantee’s Notice, at the Offered Price
or at a higher price, provided that such transfer (a) is consummated within ninety (90) days after
the date of the Selling Grantee’s Notice and (b) is in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this Agreement. If the Offered Stock is transferred in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, then the transferee(s) of the Offered Stock will thereafter hold such Offered Stock
subject to the Company’s Right of First Refusal. If the Offered Stock is not so transferred during
such ninety (90) day period, then the Selling Grantee will not transfer any of such Offered Stock
without complying again in full with the provisions of this Agreement

          (f) Right of First Refusal Agreement. To the extent that, on the date of any grant of
any Award or Option, Grantee is or becomes a party to any Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale
Agreement by and between the Company and certain shareholders of the Company, and the terms of such
Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement conflict with the terms hereof, the terms of such
Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement shall govern such conflict.

ARTICLE 11

RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER COMPENSATION PLANS

     The adoption of the Plan shall not affect any other stock option, incentive, or other
compensation plans in effect for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; nor shall the adoption of
the Plan preclude the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from establishing any other form of
incentive or other compensation plan for Employees or Directors of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries.

ARTICLE 12

MISCELLANEOUS

     12.1 Replacement or Amended Grants. At the sole discretion of the Committee, and
subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee may modify outstanding Options or Awards or accept
the surrender of outstanding Options or Awards and grant new Options or Awards in substitution for
them, provided that no modification of an Option or Award shall adversely affect a Grantee’s rights
under a Stock Option Agreement or Restricted Stock Agreement without the consent of the Grantee or
his legal representative.

     12.2 Leave of Absence. Unless provided otherwise in a particular Stock Option
Agreement, the following provisions shall, at the discretion of the Committee, apply upon an
Optionee’s commencement of an authorized leave of absence:

authorized leave, and the Option shall not become exercisable for any additional installments of
shares of Stock during the period Optionee remains on such leave.

          (b) Should Optionee resume active Employee status within 60 days after the start date of the
authorized leave, Optionee shall, for purposes of the applicable exercise schedule, receive service
credit for the entire period of such leave. If Optionee does not resume active Employee status
within such 60-day period, then no credit shall be given for the entire period of such leave.

          (c) In no event shall the Option become exercisable for any additional shares or otherwise
remain outstanding if the Optionee does not resume Employee status prior to the Expiration Date of
the option term.

assigns of the Company.

     12.4 Singular, Plural; Gender. Whenever used in this Plan, nouns in the singular
shall include the plural, and the masculine pronoun shall include the feminine gender.

     12.5 Headings, etc., No Part of Plan. Headings of Articles and Sections of this Plan

     12.6 Section 16 Compliance. With respect to Section 16 Insiders and
“highly-compensated” persons under Section 162(m) of the Code, transactions under this Plan are
intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 or its successors under the
Exchange Act and with Section 162(m) of the Code. To the extent any provision of the Plan or
action by the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be deemed void to the extent permitted by law
and deemed advisable by the Committee. In addition, if necessary to comply with Rule 16b-3 with
respect to any grant of an Option hereunder, and in addition to any other vesting or holding period
specified hereunder or in an applicable Stock Option Agreement, any Section 16 Insider acquiring an
Option shall be required to hold either the Option or the underlying shares of Stock obtained upon
exercise of the Option for a minimum of six months.

EXHIBIT A

PureRay Corporation

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

THE TRANSFER OF THESE SECURITIES HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED, OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE BLUE SKY LAWS, AND CANNOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS
SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER IS REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACTS, OR EXEMPTIONS FROM SUCH REGISTRATION ARE
AVAILABLE.

     THIS STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of this                      day of
                                        ,                     , by and between PureRay Corporation, a Washington
corporation (the “Company”), and                                          (the “Optionee”).

     On October 15, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a Stock Option and
Incentive Plan known as the Company’s “2008 Stock Option and Incentive Plan” (the “Plan”), and
recommended that the Plan be approved by the Company’s shareholders. On [                    ] [     ],
200[     ], the shareholders of the Company adopted and approved the Plan. The Committee has granted
the Optionee a stock option to purchase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock as set
forth below, and in consideration of the granting of that stock option the Optionee intends to
remain in the employ of the Company. The Company and the Optionee desire to enter into a written
agreement with respect to such option in accordance with the Plan. Therefore, as an employment
incentive and to encourage stock ownership, and also in consideration of the mutual covenants
contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows.

     1. Incorporation of Plan. This option is granted pursuant to the provisions of the
Plan, and the terms and definitions of the Plan are incorporated into this Agreement by reference
and made a part of this Agreement. The Optionee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan.

     2. Grant of Option. Subject to the terms, restrictions, limitations and conditions
stated in this Agreement, the Company hereby evidences its grant to the Optionee, not in lieu of
salary or other compensation, of the right and option (the “Option”) to purchase all or any part of
the number of shares of the Company’s no par value Common Stock (the “Stock”), set forth on
Schedule A attached and incorporated into this Agreement by reference. The Option shall be
exercisable in the amounts and at the time(s) specified on Schedule A. The Option shall expire and
shall not be exercisable on the date specified on Schedule A or on such earlier date as determined
pursuant to Section 8, 9, or 10 of this Agreement. Schedule A states whether the Option is
intended to be an Incentive Stock Option.

     3. Purchase Price. The price per share to be paid by the Optionee for the shares
subject to this Option (the “Exercise Price”) shall be as specified on Schedule A, which price
shall be an amount not less than the Fair Market Value (or 110% of the Fair Market Value if
Optionee is a person described in Section 6.3(b) of the Plan) of a share of Stock as of the Date of
Grant (as defined in Section 11 below) if the Option is an Incentive Stock Option. The Committee
has in good faith set the fair market value of these Options. In the event the Fair Market Value
should
be determined to be otherwise, there shall be no adverse tax liabilities attributable to the
Company as a result of additional tax consequences to Optionee.

A-1

 

     4. Exercise Terms. The Optionee must exercise the Option for at least the lesser of
100 shares or the number of shares of Purchasable Stock as to which the Option remains unexercised.
If this Option is not exercised with respect to all or any part of the shares subject to this
Option prior to its expiration, the shares with respect to which this Option was not exercised
shall no longer be subject to this Option.

     5. Option Non-Transferable. No Option shall be transferable by an Optionee other
than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, in the case of non-Incentive Stock
Options, pursuant to a domestic relations order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or as
otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 6.9 of the Plan. During the lifetime of an Optionee,
Options shall be exercisable only by such Optionee (or by such Optionee’s guardian or legal
representative, should one be appointed). No Optionee shall Transfer any Stock received pursuant
to the exercise of an Option issued pursuant to the Plan unless Optionee has first offered such
Stock to the Company in accordance with Section 10.1 and such assignee agrees in writing to be
bound by the terms and conditions of this Plan, including but not limited to Article 10.

     6. Notice of Exercise of Option. This Option may be exercised by the Optionee, or by
the Optionee’s administrators, executors or personal representatives, by a written notice (in
substantially the form of the Notice of Exercise attached to this Agreement as Schedule B) signed
by the Optionee, or by such administrators, executors or personal representatives, and delivered or
mailed to the Company as specified in Section 15 below to the attention of the President, Chief
Executive Officer or such other officer as the President or Chief Executive Officer may designate.
Any such notice shall (a) specify the number of shares of Stock which the Optionee or the
Optionee’s administrators, executors or personal representatives, as the case may be, then elects
to purchase hereunder, (b) contain such information as may be reasonably required pursuant to
Section 12 below, and (c) be accompanied by (i) a certified or cashier’s check or, if acceptable to
the Committee, a recourse note payable to the Company in payment of the total Exercise Price
applicable to such shares as provided herein, (ii) shares of Stock owned by the Optionee and duly
endorsed or accompanied by stock transfer powers having a Fair Market Value equal to the total
Exercise Price applicable to such shares purchased under this Agreement, or (iii) a certified or
cashier’s check or, if acceptable to the Committee, a recourse note payable to the Company,
accompanied by the number of shares of Stock whose Fair Market Value when added to the amount of
the check or note equals the total Exercise Price applicable to the shares being purchased under
this Agreement. Upon receipt of any such notice and accompanying payment, and subject to the terms
hereof, the Company agrees to issue to the Optionee or the Optionee’s administrators, executors or
personal representatives, as the case may be, stock certificates for the number of shares specified
in such notice registered in the name of the person exercising this Option.

     7. Adjustment in Option. The number of Shares subject to this Option, the Exercise
Price and other matters are subject to adjustment during the term of this Option in accordance with
Section 5.2 of the Plan.

A-2

 

     8. Termination of Employment.

     (a) Except as otherwise specified in Schedule A to this Agreement, in the event of the
termination of the Optionee’s employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than a
termination that is either (i) for Cause, (ii) voluntary on the part of the Optionee and without
written consent of the Company, or (iii) for reasons of death or Permanent and Total Disability or
retirement, the Optionee may exercise this Option at any time within three (3) months after such
termination to the extent of the number of shares which were Purchasable hereunder at the date of
such termination.

     (b) Except as specified in Schedule A attached hereto, in the event of a termination of the
Optionee’s employment that is either (i) for Cause or (ii) voluntary on the part of the Optionee
and without the written consent of the Company, this Option, to the extent not previously
exercised, shall terminate immediately and shall not thereafter be or become exercisable.

     (c) Unless and to the extent otherwise provided in Schedule A hereto, in the event of the
retirement of the Optionee at or after the normal retirement date as prescribed from time to time
by the Company or any Subsidiary (age 65 unless so prescribed or unless the Committee determines
otherwise), the Optionee shall continue to have the right to exercise any Options for shares which
were Purchasable at the date of the Optionee’s retirement, such rights to be subject to the
provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Options will become void and
unexercisable on the date which is three months after the date of retirement unless, with respect
to a non-Incentive Stock Option, on (or effective as of) the date of retirement the Optionee enters
into a noncompete agreement with the Company, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Company, and continuously complies with such noncompete agreement for the period of time during
which the options may be exercised. (Incentive Stock Options will remain subject to the
requirement of Section 6.10 of the Plan that they must be exercised, if at all, not later than
three months following termination of such Optionee’s employment, unless termination is due to
Optionee’s death or Permanent and Total Disability, in which case an Incentive Stock Option may be
exercised within one year following such termination; provided that an attempted exercise of an
Incentive Stock Option outside of those time parameters will be permitted, but the Incentive Stock
Option thereupon will become a non-Incentive Stock Option subject to all the terms of this
Agreement and the Plan governing non-Incentive Stock Options.) This Option does not confer upon
the Optionee any right with respect to continuance of employment by the Company or by any of its
Subsidiaries. This Option shall not be affected by any change of employment so long as the
Optionee continues to be an employee of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries.

     9. Disabled Optionee. In the event of termination of employment because of the
Optionee’s Permanent and Total Disability, any unvested rights to acquire shares pursuant to this
Option shall immediately vest and the Optionee (or his or her personal representative) may exercise
this Option, within a period ending on the earlier of (a) the last day of the one year period
following the Optionee’s Permanent and Total Disability or (b) the expiration date of this Option.

A-3

 

     10. Death of Optionee. Except as otherwise set forth in Schedule A with respect to
the rights of the Optionee upon termination of employment under Section 8(a) above, in the event of
the Optionee’s death while employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or within three
months after a termination of such employment (if such termination was neither (i) for Cause nor
(ii) voluntary on the part of the Optionee and without the written consent of the Company), the
appropriate persons described in Section 6 of this Agreement or persons to whom all or a portion of
this Option is transferred in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement may exercise this Option
at any time within a period ending on the earlier of (a) the last day of the one year period
following the Optionee’s death or (b) the expiration date of this Option. If the Optionee was an
employee of the Company at the time of death, any unvested rights to acquire shares pursuant to
this Option shall immediately vest and this Option may be so exercised. If the Optionee’s
employment terminated prior to his or her death, this Option may be exercised only to the extent of
the number of shares covered by this Option which were Purchasable under this Agreement at the date
of such termination.

     11. Date of Grant. This Option was granted by the Committee on the date set forth in
Schedule A (the “Date of Grant”).

     12. Compliance with Regulatory Matters. The Optionee acknowledges that the issuance
of capital stock of the Company is subject to limitations imposed by federal and state law, and the
Optionee hereby agrees that the Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Stock upon an
attempted exercise of this Option that would cause the Company to violate law or any rule,
regulation, order or consent decree of any regulatory authority (including without limitation the
SEC) having jurisdiction over the affairs of the Company. The Optionee agrees that he or she will
provide the Company with such information as is reasonably requested by the Company or its counsel
to determine whether the issuance of Stock complies with the provisions described by this Section
12.

     13. Restriction on Disposition of Shares. Unless the Company otherwise agrees in
writing, the shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option shall not be
transferred by the Optionee except pursuant to the Optionee’s will, or the laws of descent and
distribution, until such date which is the later of two years after the grant of such Incentive
Stock Option or one year after the transfer of the shares to the Optionee pursuant to the exercise
of such Incentive Stock Option. An attempted transfer of such shares in violation of these
restrictions will be permitted if such a transfer would have been permitted under this Agreement
for shares purchased pursuant to the exercise a non-Incentive Stock Option, but the Incentive Stock
Option under which such shares were issued thereupon will become a non-Incentive Stock Option
subject to all the terms of this Agreement and the Plan governing non-Incentive Stock Options.

     14. Termination as a Subsidiary of the Company. In the event that Optionee is
employed by a Subsidiary of the Company and the Company or its Subsidiaries cease to own greater
than 50% of such Subsidiary, this Option shall terminate on the date the Company or its
Subsidiaries cease to own greater than 50% of such Subsidiary unless the Board or the Committee
determines otherwise.

A-4

 

     15. Miscellaneous.

     (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their representatives,
successors and assigns.

that the parties provide to each other in accordance with the foregoing notice requirements.

     (d) This Agreement may not be modified except in writing executed by each of the parties to
it.

the Plan, respectively.

PureRay Corporation

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

[Non-Employee Directors, Consultants and Advisors]

 THE TRANSFER OF THESE SECURITIES HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED, OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE BLUE SKY LAWS, AND CANNOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS
SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER IS REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACTS, OR EXEMPTIONS FROM SUCH REGISTRATION ARE
AVAILABLE.

     THIS STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of this       day of
                                        ,           , by and between PureRay Corporation, a Washington
corporation (the “Company”), and                                                              (the “Optionee”).

     On October 15, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a Stock Option and
Incentive Plan known as the Company’s “2008 Stock Option and Incentive Plan” (the “Plan”), and
recommended that the Plan be approved by the Company’s shareholders. On [                    ] [     ],
200[     ], the shareholders of the Company adopted and approved the Plan. The Committee has granted
the Optionee a stock option to purchase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock as set
forth below, and in consideration of the granting of that stock option the Optionee intends to
remain in the service of the Company as a non-employee director, consultant or advisor, as the case
may be. The Company and the Optionee desire to enter into a written agreement with respect to such
option in accordance with the Plan. Therefore, as an incentive and to encourage stock ownership,
and also in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as
follows.

     1. Incorporation of Plan. This option is granted pursuant to the provisions of the
Plan, and the terms and definitions of the Plan are incorporated into this Agreement by reference
and made a part of this Agreement. The Optionee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan.

     2. Grant of Option. Subject to the terms, restrictions, limitations and conditions
stated in this Agreement, the Company hereby evidences its grant to the Optionee, not in lieu of
salary or other compensation, of the right and option (the “Option”) to purchase all or any part of
the number of shares of the Company’s no par value Common Stock (the “Stock”), set forth on
Schedule A attached and incorporated into this Agreement by reference. The Option shall be
exercisable in the amounts and at the time(s) specified on Schedule A. The Option shall expire and
shall not be exercisable on the date specified on Schedule A or on such earlier date as determined
pursuant to Section 8, 9, or 10 of this Agreement. Schedule A states whether the Option is
intended to be an Incentive Stock Option.

     3. Purchase Price. The price per share to be paid by the Optionee for the shares
subject to this Option (the “Exercise Price”) shall be as specified on Schedule A, which price
shall be an amount not less than the Fair Market Value (or 110% of the Fair Market Value if
Optionee is a

B-1

 

person described in Section 6.3(b) of the Plan) of a share of Stock as of the Date of
Grant (as defined in Section 11 below) if the Option is an Incentive Stock Option. The Committee
has in good faith set the fair market value of these Options. In the event the Fair Market Value
should be determined to be otherwise, there shall be no adverse tax liabilities attributable to the
Company as a result of additional tax consequences to Optionee.

     4. Exercise Terms. The Optionee must exercise the Option for at least the lesser of
100 shares or the number of shares of Purchasable Stock as to which the Option remains unexercised.
If this Option is not exercised with respect to all or any part of the shares subject to this
Option prior to its expiration, the shares with respect to which this Option was not exercised
shall no longer be subject to this Option.

     5. Option Non-Transferable. No Option shall be transferable by an Optionee other
than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, in the case of non-Incentive Stock
Options, pursuant to a domestic relations order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or as
otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 6.9 of the Plan. During the lifetime of an Optionee,
Options shall be exercisable only by such Optionee (or by such Optionee’s guardian or legal
representative, should one be appointed). No Optionee shall Transfer any Stock received pursuant
to the exercise of an Option issued pursuant to this Plan unless Optionee has first offered such
Stock to the Company in accordance with Section 10.1 and such assignee agrees in writing to be
bound by the terms and conditions of the Plan, including but not limited to Article 10.

     6. Notice of Exercise of Option. This Option may be exercised by the Optionee, or by
the Optionee’s administrators, executors or personal representatives, by a written notice (in
substantially the form of the Notice of Exercise attached to this Agreement as Schedule B) signed
by the Optionee, or by such administrators, executors or personal representatives, and delivered or
mailed to the Company as specified in Section 15 below to the attention of the President, Chief
Executive Officer or such other officer as the President or Chief Executive Officer may designate.
Any such notice shall (a) specify the number of shares of Stock which the Optionee or the
Optionee’s administrators, executors or personal representatives, as the case may be, then elects
to purchase hereunder, (b) contain such information as may be reasonably required pursuant to
Section 12 below, and (c) be accompanied by (i) a certified or cashier’s check or, if acceptable to
the Committee, a recourse note payable to the Company in payment of the total Exercise Price
applicable to such shares as provided herein, (ii) shares of Stock owned by the Optionee and duly
endorsed or accompanied by stock transfer powers having a Fair Market Value equal to the total
Exercise Price applicable to such shares purchased under this Agreement, or (iii) a certified or
cashier’s check or, if acceptable to the Committee, a recourse note payable to the Company,
accompanied by the number of shares of Stock whose Fair Market Value when added to the amount of
the check or note equals the total Exercise Price applicable to the shares being purchased under
this Agreement. Upon receipt of any such notice and accompanying payment, and subject to the terms
hereof, the Company agrees to issue to the Optionee or the Optionee’s administrators, executors or
personal representatives, as the case may be, stock certificates for the number of shares specified
in such notice registered in the name of the person exercising this Option.

B-2

 

     7. Adjustment in Option. The number of Shares subject to this Option, the Exercise
Price and other matters are subject to adjustment during the term of this Option in accordance with
Section 5.2 of the Plan.

     8. Termination of Service.

     (a) Except as otherwise specified in Schedule A to this Agreement, in the event of the
termination of the Optionee’s service to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than a
termination that is either (i) for Cause, or (ii) voluntary on the part of the Optionee and without
written consent of the Company, the Optionee may exercise this Option at any time within three (3)
months after such termination to the extent of the number of shares which were Purchasable
hereunder at the date of such termination.

     (b) Except as specified in Schedule A attached hereto, in the event of a termination of the
Optionee’s service that is either (i) for Cause or (ii) voluntary on the part of the Optionee and
without the written consent of the Company, this Option, to the extent not previously exercised,
shall terminate immediately and shall not thereafter be or become exercisable.

     (c) Unless and to the extent otherwise provided in Schedule A hereto, in the event of the
retirement of the Optionee at or after the normal retirement date (age 65 unless the Committee
determines otherwise), the Optionee shall continue to have the right to exercise any Options for
shares which were Purchasable at the date of the Optionee’s retirement, such rights to be subject
to the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Options will become void
and unexercisable on the date which is three months after the date of retirement unless, with
respect to a non-Incentive Stock Option, on (or effective as of) the date of retirement the
Optionee enters into a noncompete agreement with the Company, which the Company must offer to the
Optionee, and continuously complies with such noncompete agreement for the period of time during
which the options may be exercised.

     9. Continuance of Service. This Option does not confer upon the Optionee any right
with respect to continuance of service to the Company or by any of its Subsidiaries. This Option
shall not be affected by any change of service so long as the Optionee continues to serve the
Company or one of its Subsidiaries.

     10. Death of Optionee. Except as otherwise set forth in Schedule A with respect to
the rights of the Optionee upon termination of service under Section 8(a) above, in the event of
the Optionee’s death while in the service of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or within three
months after a termination of such service (if such termination was neither (i) for Cause nor (ii)
voluntary on the part of the Optionee and without the written consent of the Company), the
appropriate persons described in Section 6 of this Agreement or persons to whom all or a portion of
this Option is transferred in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement may exercise this Option
at any time within a period ending on the earlier of (a) the last day of the one year period
following the Optionee’s death or (b) the expiration date of this Option. If the Optionee was in
the service of the Company at the time of death, any unvested rights to acquire shares pursuant to
this Option shall immediately vest and this Option may be so exercised to the extent of the number
of shares that were Purchasable under this Agreement at the date of death. If the

B-3

 

Optionee’s
service terminated prior to his or her death, this Option may be exercised only to the extent of
the number of shares covered by this Option which were Purchasable under this Agreement at the date
of such termination.

     11. Date of Grant. This Option was granted by the Committee on the date set forth in
Schedule A (the “Date of Grant”).

     12. Compliance with Regulatory Matters. The Optionee acknowledges that the issuance
of capital stock of the Company is subject to limitations imposed by federal and state law, and the
Optionee hereby agrees that the Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Stock upon an
attempted exercise of this Option that would cause the Company to violate law or any rule,
regulation, order or consent decree of any regulatory authority (including without limitation the
SEC) having jurisdiction over the affairs of the Company. The Optionee agrees that he or she will
provide the Company with such information as is reasonably requested by the Company or its counsel
to determine whether the issuance of Stock complies with the provisions described by this Section
12.

     13. Restriction on Disposition of Shares. Unless the Company otherwise agrees in
writing, the shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option shall not be
transferred by the Optionee except pursuant to the Optionee’s will, or the laws of descent and
distribution, until such date which is the later of two years after the grant of such Incentive
Stock Option or one year after the transfer of the shares to the Optionee pursuant to the exercise
of such Incentive Stock Option.

     14. Termination as a Subsidiary of the Company. In the event that Optionee is in the
service of a Subsidiary of the Company and the Company or its Subsidiaries cease to own greater
than 50% of such Subsidiary, this Option shall terminate on the date the Company or its
Subsidiaries cease to own greater than 50% of such Subsidiary unless the Board or the Committee
determines otherwise.

     15. Miscellaneous.

     (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their representatives,
successors and assigns.

     (b) This Agreement is executed and delivered in, and shall be governed by the laws of, the
State of Georgia.

     (c) Any requests or notices to be given hereunder shall be deemed given, and any elections or
exercises to be made or accomplished shall be deemed made or accomplished, upon actual delivery
thereof to the designated recipient, or three days after deposit thereof in the United States mail,
registered, return receipt requested and postage prepaid, addressed, if to the Optionee, at
Optionee’s address shown in the Company’s records and, if to the Company, to the executive offices

PURERAY CORPORATION

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

 THE TRANSFER OF THESE SECURITIES HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
AMENDED, OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE BLUE SKY LAWS, AND CANNOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS
SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER IS REGISTERED UNDER SUCH ACTS, OR EXEMPTIONS FROM SUCH REGISTRATION ARE
AVAILABLE.

     THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of this       day of
                    ,           , by and between PureRay Corporation, a Washington corporation (the
“Company”), and                      (the “Grantee”).

     On October 15, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a Stock Option and Incentive
Plan known as the Company’s “2008 Stock Option and Incentive Plan” (the “Plan”), and recommended
that the Plan be approved by the Company’s shareholders. On [                    ] [  ], 200[  ], the
shareholders of the Company adopted and approved the Plan. The Committee has determined that the
Grantee is to be granted a restricted stock award (the “Award”) under the Plan, and in
consideration of the granting of that Award to purchase the specified number of shares of common
stock , no par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) the Grantee intends to continue
providing services to Company. The Company and the Grantee desire to enter into a written
agreement with respect to such Award in accordance with the Plan.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Grantee hereby agree as follows:

     1. Grant of Restricted Stock Award. The Award grants the Grantee shares of Common
Stock (the “Restricted Stock”). The Restricted Stock is granted pursuant to the Plan and are
subject to the terms and conditions thereof, which are incorporated herein by this reference. To
the extent any provision in this Agreement is inconsistent with the Plan, the provisions of the
Plan shall govern. The Grantee hereby acknowledges receipt of, or access to, a copy of the Plan.

     2. Date of Grant. The Award is granted on the date set forth on Schedule A hereto
(the “Date of Grant”).

     3. Restrictions on Transfer. On and after the Date of Grant and until each portion of
the Restricted Stock vests as provided in Section 4 hereof, the Grantee shall not be permitted to
Transfer or otherwise dispose of that portion of the Restricted Stock except (i) a by gift during a
Grantee’s lifetime or on a Grantee’s death by will or intestacy to such Grantee’s Immediate Family
or to a trust or other entity for the benefit of Grantee or Grantee’s Immediate Family, (ii)
pursuant to a domestic relations order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction,
provided that, in each case of (i) or (ii) above, each transferee or other recipient
executes a written agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Plan, including without
limitation, Section 10 hereof; (ii) any transfer of Stock acquired pursuant to this Award by
Grantee made (A) pursuant to a statutory merger or statutory consolidation of the Company with or
into another corporation or corporations, or otherwise by operation of law or (B) pursuant to the
winding up and dissolution of the Company.

     4. Vesting of Restricted Stock. Restricted Stock will vest in installments, in the
amounts

C-1

 

and on the dates set forth on Schedule A. The Committee shall have the power, in its sole
discretion, to accelerate the vesting of all or a portion of the Restricted Stock, to waive any
restrictions, including any additional restrictions set forth on Schedule A, with respect to any
part or all of the Restricted Stock, or to waive the forfeiture of the Restricted Stock and to
retain restrictions on Restricted Stock that would have been forfeited pursuant to the terms of the
Plan and the terms of this Agreement.

     5. Forfeiture of Restricted Stock. Except as otherwise may specified on Schedule A,
the termination of Grantee’s engagement by the Company shall have the following effect: any
Restricted Stock which has not vested as of the effective date of such termination, for any reason,
shall immediately be forfeited and shall not vest.

     6. Withholding. Grantee must pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to
the Company regarding the payment of, any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind (including any
employment taxes) required by law to be withheld with respect to the income realized by Grantee in
connection with the ownership of the Restricted Stock. In connection therewith, and without
limiting any of the Company’s rights under the Plan:

          (a) the Company and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to
deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to Grantee, including but not limited to
salary payments; and

          (b) Grantee hereby authorizes the Company, at the Company’s election, to transfer to the
Company shares of Stock owned by Grantee (including but not limited to Restricted Stock) with an
aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the
required statutory minimum (but no more than such required minimum) with respect to the Company’s
withholding obligation. In connection with such authorization Grantee hereby constitutes and
appoints each of the Chief Executive Officer, President, and Secretary of the Company as the
undersigned’s attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to cause the transfer to the
Company of such Restricted Stock or other shares together with all dividends, income, cash,
options, warrants, rights, instruments and other property, interests or proceeds from time to time
in effect, received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange,
replacement, renewal or substitution for, any or all of the Restricted Stock or other shares; and
Grantee acknowledges that such appointment is being made in connection with a grant of Restricted
Stock under the Plan, is coupled with an interest and is therefore irrevocable.

     7. Legends and Restrictions. If a share certificate is issued evidencing the
Restricted Stock, such certificate shall be registered in the name of the Grantee but shall be held
in custody by the Company, and such share certificate may contain such legends as required by
Article 8 of the Plan or as imposed under applicable state corporation and securities laws, and
under the Plan and this Agreement. If a share certificate is not issued evidencing the Restricted
Stock but the Restricted Stock are otherwise registered in the Company’s stock transfer records,
the Restricted Stock shall be registered in the name of the Grantee but the Company shall be
authorized to put in place such procedures as will require the above restrictions to be honored by
the transfer agent for the Stock.

     8. Adjustment in Number of Shares. The number of Restricted Stock shall be subject to
adjustment for stock dividends, stock splits, or similar corporate changes involving the Common
Stock to the extent set forth in Section 5.2 of the Plan.

C-2

 

     9. Change in Control. In the event of a Corporate Transaction (as defined in Article
1 of the Plan), all Restricted Stock under this Agreement that have not otherwise fully vested
shall immediately vest.

     10. Investment Representations.

          (a) No Registration. The Grantee acknowledges that, unless and until the Company
notifies the Grantee otherwise, the issuance of the Restricted Stock has not been registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or under applicable state securities
laws.

          (b) Delay of Issuance. The Grantee acknowledges that, pursuant to Article 8 of the
Plan, the Company may delay the issuance of the Restricted Stock, the delivery of certificates for
the Restricted Stock, and the release of any restrictions on the transfer of the Restricted Stock
for such time as the Company deems necessary or desirable to enable the Company to comply with
(i) the requirements of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act or 1934, as amended, or
any rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any stock exchange
promulgated thereunder; or (ii) the requirements of applicable state laws relating to
authorization, issuance or sale of such securities. The Grantee shall provide such information as
the Company deems necessary or desirable to secure such compliance.

     11. Miscellaneous.

          (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their representatives,
successors and assigns.

          (b) This Agreement is executed and delivered in, and shall be governed by the laws of, the
State of Georgia.

          (c) Any requests or notices to be given hereunder shall be deemed given, and any elections or
exercises to be made or accomplished shall be deemed made or accomplished, upon actual delivery
thereof to the designated recipient, or three days after deposit thereof in the United States mail,
registered, return receipt requested and postage prepaid, addressed, if to the Grantee, at
Grantee’s address shown in the Company’s records and, if to the Company, to the executive offices
of the Company at 3490 Piedmont Road, Suite 1120, Atlanta, GA 30305, or at such other addresses
that the parties provide to each other in accordance with the foregoing notice requirements.

          (d) This Agreement may not be modified except in writing executed by each of the parties to
it.

          (e) In addition to all other provisions of the Plan, Grantee acknowledges that the vested
Stock granted pursuant to this Agreement is subject to the Company’s Right of First Refusal and the
Market Stand-Off Agreement under Section 10.1 and 10.2 of the Plan, respectively.

     12. Regulatory Approvals. The vesting of the Restricted Stock shall be subject to the
condition that if at any time the Committee or the Company shall determine in its discretion that
the satisfaction of withholding tax or other tax liabilities, or the listing, registration, or
qualification of any shares of Stock upon any securities exchange or quotation system or under any
federal or state law, or the consent or approval of any regulatory body, is necessary or desirable
as a condition of, or in connection with, such vesting, then in any such event such vesting shall
not be effective unless such

C-3

 

liabilities have been satisfied or such listing, registration,
qualification, consent, or approval shall have been effected or obtained.

     The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all funds held by it to the Trustee.
Upon doing so the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the funds.

Section 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 at least seven Business Days before each
semiannual 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.

Section 2.06. Transfer and Exchange.

          (a) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the office or
agency in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company will execute, and the Trustee will
authenticate and deliver in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new
Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal
amount and tenor.

          (b) At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other
Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal
amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency.
Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company will execute, and the Trustee
will authenticate and deliver the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to
receive.

          (c) Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange will (if
so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written
instrument or instruments of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the
Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment, fee or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange
of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.09, 3.06, or 9.05 not involving any
transfer. The Company will not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange
Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 calendar days
before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that series selected for redemption
and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing or (ii) to register the transfer of
or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any
Securities to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not being redeemed.

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

10

 

          (e) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to
compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law
with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or
among Depositary Participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other than
to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly
required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to
examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements
hereof.

          (f) Any Holder of a global Security, by acceptance of such global Security, shall agree that
transfers of beneficial interests in such global Security may be effected only through a book entry
system maintained by the Holder of such global Security (or its agent), and that ownership of a
beneficial interest in the Security shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.

Section 2.07. Replacement Securities.

          (a) If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company will execute and the
Trustee will authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and of
like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

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

          (c) In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen 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.

          (d) Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 2.07, the Company may require the
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment, fee or other governmental charge that may
be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the
Trustee) connected therewith.

          (e) Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section 2.07 in exchange for any
mutilated Security or in lieu of any destroyed, lost, or stolen Security will constitute an
original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed,
lost, or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and will be entitled to all
the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of
that series duly issued hereunder.

11

 

          (f) The provisions of this Section 2.07 are exclusive and will preclude (to the extent lawful)
all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed,
lost, or stolen Securities.

Section 2.08. Outstanding Securities.

     Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for
those canceled by it and those described in this Section 2.08. A Security does not cease to be
outstanding because the Company or one of its Affiliates holds the Security. If a Security is
replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof
satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser. If the Paying
Agent holds on a redemption date or maturity date funds sufficient to pay Securities payable on
that date, then on and after that date such Securities cease to be outstanding and interest on them
ceases to accrue.

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

Section 2.09. Temporary Securities.

     Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and 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, upon surrender for
cancellation of the temporary Security, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, the
temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as
definitive Securities authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.10. Cancellation.

     The 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 registration
of transfer, exchange, redemption or payment. The Trustee shall cancel and dispose of, or retain
in accordance with its standard retention policy, all Securities surrendered for registration or
transfer, exchange, redemption, paying or cancellation. Unless the Authorizing Resolution or
supplemental indenture so provides, the Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities
that it has previously paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.11. Defaulted Interest.

     If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, it shall pay the defaulted
interest plus any interest payable on the defaulted interest to the persons who are Securityholders
on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix such special record date and a payment
date which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee. At least 15 days before such special
record date, the Company shall mail to each Securityholder and the Trustee a

12

 

notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to
be paid. On or before the date such notice is mailed, the Company shall deposit with the Paying
Agent funds sufficient to pay the amount of defaulted interest to be so paid. The Company may pay
defaulted interest in any other lawful manner if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee
of the proposed payment, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Section 2.12. Treasury Securities.

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

Section 2.13. CUSIP Numbers.

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

Section 2.14. Deposit of Money.

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

Section 2.15. Book-Entry Provisions for Global Security.

          (a) Any global Security of a Series initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the
depository who shall be identified in the Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture relating
to such Securities (the “Depository”) or the nominee of such Depository, (ii) be delivered to the
Trustee as custodian for such Depository and (iii) bear any required legends. Members of, or
participants in, the Depository (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with
respect to any global Security held on their behalf by the Depository, or the Trustee as its
custodian, or under the global Security, and the Depository may be treated by the Company, the
Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the global Security
for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the
Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written
certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair,

13

 

as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices
governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Security.

          (b) Transfers of any global Security shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part,
to the Depository, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in
the global Security may be transferred or exchanged for definitive Securities in accordance with
the rules and procedures of the Depository. In addition, definitive Securities shall be transferred
to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a global Security if (i) the
Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for the
global Security and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such
notice, (ii) the Company, at its option, notifies the Trustee in writing that the Company elects to
cause the issuance of definitive Securities under this Indenture or (iii) an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request from the Depository to issue
definitive Securities.

          (c) In connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion of the beneficial interest in any
global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b), the Registrar shall (if one or more
definitive Securities are to be issued) reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in
the principal amount of the global Security in an amount equal to the principal amount of the
beneficial interest in the global Security to be transferred, and the Company shall execute, and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more definitive Securities of like tenor and
amount.

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

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

ARTICLE THREE

REDEMPTION

Section 3.01. Notices to Trustee.

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

     If the Company wants to redeem Securities pursuant to the provisions of the applicable
Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture, it shall provide the Trustee notice pursuant to
Section 3.03. Any such notice may be canceled at any time prior to notice of such redemption

14

 

being mailed to Holders. Any such canceled notice shall be void and of no effect. If the
Company wants to credit any Securities previously redeemed, retired or acquired against any
redemption pursuant to the provisions of the applicable Authorizing Resolution or supplemental
indenture, it shall notify the Trustee of the amount of the credit and it shall deliver any
Securities not previously delivered to the Trustee for cancellation with such notice.

     The Company shall give each notice provided for in this Section 3.01 at least 15 days before
the notice of any such redemption is to be mailed to Holders unless a shorter notice shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee.

Section 3.02. Selection of Securities to be Redeemed.

     If fewer than all of the Securities of a Series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select
the Securities to be redeemed by a method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate. The Trustee
shall make the selection from Securities outstanding not previously called for redemption and shall
promptly notify the Company of the Securities so selected. Securities and portions of them the
Trustee selects shall be in amounts equal to the minimum denomination for the Series or an integral
multiple thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also
apply to portions of Securities called for redemption.

Section 3.03. Notice of Redemption.

     At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail a
notice of redemption by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities to be
redeemed. The notice shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and shall state: (1) the CUSIP
number; (2) the redemption date; (3) the redemption price; (4) the name and address of the Paying
Agent; (5) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect
the redemption price; (6) that interest on Securities called for redemption ceases to accrue on and
after the redemption date; and (7) that the Securities are being redeemed pursuant to the mandatory
redemption or the optional redemption provisions, as applicable. At the Company’s request, the
Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense; provided,
however, that the Company shall deliver to the Trustee at least 15 days prior to the date on which
notice of redemption is to be mailed or such shorter period as may be satisfactory to the Trustee,
an Officers’ Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the
information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

Section 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption.

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

15

 

Section 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price.

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

Section 3.06. Securities Redeemed in Part.

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

ARTICLE FOUR

COVENANTS

Section 4.01. Payment of Securities.

     The Company shall pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on Securities of a
Series on the dates and in the manner provided in the Securities of that Series. An installment of
principal or interest shall be considered paid on the date it is due if the Paying Agent holds on
that date funds designated for and sufficient to pay the installment and such Paying Agent is not
prohibited from paying such money to the Holders of such series of Securities on that date pursuant
to the terms of this Indenture.

     The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Series; it shall
pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on
overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate.

Section 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

     The Company shall maintain the office or agency required under Section 2.03. The Company
shall give prior written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of
such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office
or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the address of the Trustee.

Section 4.03. Compliance Certificate.

     The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of
the Company an Officers’ Certificate stating whether or not the signers know of any Default by the
Company in performing any of its obligations under this Indenture. If they do know of such a
Default, the certificate shall describe the Default.

     The Company shall, so long as any of the Securities are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee,
forthwith (and in any event within five Business Days) upon any Officer of the Company becoming
aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event
of Default.

16

 

Section 4.04. Maintenance of Corporate Existence.

     The Company will cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and
effect the corporate existence of the Company; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.04
shall prevent a consolidation or merger of the Company not prohibited by the provisions of Article
Five or any other provision or the Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture pertaining to a
Series.

ARTICLE FIVE

SUCCESSOR CORPORATION

Section 5.01. When Company May Merge, etc.

     The Company shall not consolidate with or merge with or into any other corporation or transfer
all or substantially all of its assets to any entity unless (1) the resulting, surviving or
transferee entity (if other than the Company), which shall be a corporation organized and existing
under the laws of the United States or a State thereof, assumes by supplemental indenture, in a
form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all of the obligations of the Company under the
Securities and this Indenture and (2) immediately after giving effect to, and as a result of, such
transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Thereafter, in
the event that the Company is not the continuing corporation, such successor corporation or
corporations shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company with the same effect as if it had
been named herein as the “Company” and all such obligations of the predecessor corporation shall
terminate. 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 stating that
the proposed transaction and such supplemental indenture comply with this Indenture. To the extent
that an Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture pertaining to any Series provides for
different provisions relating to the subject matter of this Article Five, the provisions in such
Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture shall govern for purposes of such Series.

ARTICLE SIX

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 6.01. Events of Default.

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

     (1) the failure by the Company to pay interest on any Security of such Series when the same
becomes due and payable and the continuance of any such failure for a period of 30 days, whether or
not such payment is prohibited by Article Eleven hereof;

     (2) the failure by the Company to pay the principal of any Security of such Series when the
same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, whether or not such
payment is prohibited by Article Eleven hereof;

17

 

     (3) the failure by the Company to comply with any of its agreements or covenants in, or
provisions of, the Securities of such Series or this Indenture (other than a failure to comply with
any covenant or agreement contained in Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act or the failure
to comply with covenants and agreements to deliver SEC reports to the trustee) and the continuation
of such failure for the period and after the notice specified below (except in the case of a
default with respect to Article Five or any replacement provisions as contemplated by Article Five,
which will constitute Events of Default with notice but without passage of time);

     (4) the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

          (A) commences a voluntary case,

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

          (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

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

          (A) is for relief against the Company as debtor in an involuntary case,

          (B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or a Custodian for all or substantially all of
the property of the Company, or

          (C) orders the liquidation of the Company,

          and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days.

     A Default as described in clause (3) above will not be deemed an Event of Default until the
Trustee notifies the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the
then-outstanding Securities of the applicable Series notify the Company and the Trustee, of the
Default and (except in the case of a default with respect to Article Five, or any replacement
provisions as contemplated by Article Five) the Company does not cure the Default within 60 days
after receipt of the notice. The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and
state that the notice is a “Notice of Default.” If such a Default is cured within such time period,
it ceases. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or
similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

     Any failure to perform, or breach of, any covenant or agreement of the Company in respect of
the Securities of such series contained in Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act or Section
7.07 shall not be a default or an Event of Default. Remedies against the Company for any such
failure or breach will be limited to liquidated damages as described in the following sentence, and
Holders shall not have any right to accelerate the maturity of the Securities of such series as a
result of any such failure or breach. Instead, if there is such a failure or breach of the
Company’s obligation under Section 314(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act or Section 7.07 and

18

 

continuance of such failure or breach for a period of 90 days after the date on which there
has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company
and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then-outstanding
Securities of such series, a written notice specifying such failure or breach and requiring it to
be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Reporting Noncompliance” hereunder, the
Company will pay liquidated damages to all Holders of Securities of such series, at a rate per year
equal to 0.25% of the principal amount of such Securities from the 90th day following
such notice to and including the 150th day following such notice and at a rate per year
equal to 0.5% of the principal amount of such Securities from and including the 151st day following
such notice, until such failure or breach is cured. Any such liquidated damages shall be payable
in the same manner and on the same dates as the stated interest payable on the Securities of such
series. In the event that the Company is required to pay such liquidated damages, the Company
shall provide a written notice to the Trustee (and if the Trustee is not the paying agent, the
paying agent) no later then five Business Days prior to the payment date for the payment of such
liquidated damages setting forth the amount of such liquidated damages to be paid by the Company on
such payment date and directing the Trustee (or, if the Trustee is not the paying agent, the paying
agent) to make such payment to the extent it receives funds from the Company to do so. The Trustee
shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any holder of Securities to determine
whether such liquidated damages are payable, or with respect to the nature, extent or calculation
of the amount of liquidated damages owed.

Section 6.02. Acceleration.

          If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default with respect to the Company resulting
from sub-clauses (4) or (5) above) shall have occurred and be continuing under the Indenture, the
Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the
Securities of the applicable Series then outstanding by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may
declare all Securities of such Series to be due and payable immediately. Upon such declaration of
acceleration, the amounts due and payable on the Securities of such Series will be due and payable
immediately. If an Event of Default with respect to the Company specified in clause (4) or (5) of
Section 6.01 occurs, all amounts due and payable on the Securities of such Series will ipso facto
become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration, notice or other act on the part
of the Trustee and the Company or any Holder. Any declaration of acceleration with respect to the
Securities of any Series may be rescinded and annulled by the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Securities of such Series by written notice to the Trustee, except a
continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities
of such Series, if (i) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of
competent jurisdiction and (ii) all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except
nonpayment of principal of or interest on the Securities of such Series that has become due solely
by such declaration of acceleration.

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

19

 

Section 6.03. Other Remedies.

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

     The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or
does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any
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. No remedy
is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.

Section 6.04. Waiver of Existing Defaults.

     Subject to Section 9.02, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
Securities of a Series on behalf of all the Holders of the Series by notice to the Trustee may
waive an existing Default or Event of Default on such Series and its consequences hereunder other
than a payment of principal, interest or premium. Upon any such waiver, any such Default shall
cease to exist, and any such Event of Default shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose
of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of
Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05. Control by Majority.

     The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of a Series may
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it with respect to such Series. The Trustee,
however, may refuse to follow any direction (i) that conflicts with law or this Indenture, (ii)
that, subject to Section 7.01, the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other
Securityholders, (iii) that would involve the Trustee in personal liability or (iv) if the Trustee
shall not have been provided with indemnity satisfactory to it.

Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits.

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

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

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

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

20

 

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

          (5) no written request inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the
Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.06. A Securityholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice
the rights of another Securityholder or to obtain a preference or priority over another
Securityholder.

Section 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

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

Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee.

     If an Event of Default in payment of interest or principal specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2)
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an
express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal and interest remaining unpaid,
together with the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

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

Section 6.10. Priorities.

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

     First: to the Trustee for all amounts due under Section 7.08;

21

 

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

     Third: to the Company as its interests may appear.

     The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Securityholders pursuant
to this Section 6.10.

Section 6.11. Undertaking for Costs.

     In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit
against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may
require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the
suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having the due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 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 principal amount of the Series.

Section 6.12. Discontinued, Abandoned or Adverse Proceedings.

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

TRUSTEE

Section 7.01. Duties of Trustee.

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

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

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

               (2) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the
truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon

22

 

certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this
Indenture. The Trustee, however, shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether
or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture but need not confirm or investigate the
accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts or matters stated therein.

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

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

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

               (3) 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 or any other
direction of the Holders permitted hereunder.

          (d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to
paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 7.01.

          (e) The Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power unless it
receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

          (f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any funds received by it except as the
Trustee may agree with the Company. Funds held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law.

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

Section 7.02. Rights of Trustee.

     Subject to Section 7.01:

          (a) The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining
from acting on any resolution, opinion, notice, consent, certificate, instrument, report, direction
or other paper or 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,
resolution, certificate, instrument, report or direction.

          (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate
or an Opinion of Counsel or both, which shall conform to Sections 10.04 and 10.05 hereof and
containing such other statements as the Trustee reasonably deems necessary to

23

 

perform its duties hereunder. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or
omits to take in good faith in reliance on the Officers’ Certificate, Opinion of Counsel or any
other direction of the Company permitted hereunder.

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

          (d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good
faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred
upon it by this Indenture.

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

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

          (g) For all purposes under this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or
knowledge of any Event of Default unless a Trust Officer assigned to and working in the Trustee’s
Corporate Trust Office has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any Event of
Default is received by the Trustee at its address specified in Section 10.02 hereof and such notice
references the Securities generally, the Company or this Indenture.

          (h) 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.

          (i) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in
it 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 satisfactory to the
Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance
with such request or direction.

          (j) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or
consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit)
irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and
regardless of the form of action.

Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee.

     The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of
Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would
have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee, however,
must comply with Sections 7.11 and 7.12.

24

 

Section 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer.

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

Section 7.05. Notice of Defaults.

     If a Default on a Series occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the
Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder of the Series notice of the Default (which shall specify
any uncured Default known to it) within 90 days after such event becomes known to the Trustee.
Except in the case of a default in payment of principal of or interest on a Series, the Trustee may
withhold the notice if and so long as the board of directors of the Trustee, the executive or any
trust committee of such directors or responsible Trust Officers of the Trustee in good faith
determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders of the Series.

Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders.

     Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the date of this
Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder a brief report dated as of such May 15
that complies with TIA Section 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA Section 313(a)(2) has
occurred within the 12 months preceding the reporting date no report need be transmitted). The
Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b). A copy of each report at the time of its
mailing to Securityholders shall be delivered to the Company and filed by the Trustee with the SEC
and each national securities exchange on which the Securities are listed or delisted therefrom.
The Company shall notify the Trustee of each national securities exchange on which the Securities
are listed.

Section 7.07. Reports by the Company.

          (a) So long as any Securities are outstanding, the Company shall file with the Trustee, within
15 days after the Company files with the Commission, copies of its annual reports and of the
information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the
Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) that the Company may be
required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
The Company shall be deemed to have complied with the previous sentence to the extent that such
information, documents and reports are filed with the Commission via EDGAR (or any successor
electronic delivery procedure).

          (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,

25

 

including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the
Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

Section 7.08. Compensation and Indemnity.

     The Company shall pay to the Trustee or predecessor trustee from time to time reasonable
compensation for their respective services subject to any written agreement between the Trustee and
the Company. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by it. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses of
the Trustee’s agents and counsel. The Company shall indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor
trustee, its officers, directors, employees and agents and hold it harmless against any loss,
claim, damage, liability or expense incurred or made by or on behalf of it in connection with the
administration of this Indenture or the trust hereunder and its duties hereunder including the
costs and expenses of defending itself against or investigating any claim in the premises. The
Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity of which a
Trust Officer has received written notice. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify
against any loss or liability caused by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own negligence or willful
misconduct. To ensure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a
lien prior to the Securities on all funds or property held or collected by the Trustee, except
that held in trust to pay principal of or interest on particular Securities. When the Trustee
incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section
6.01(4) or (5), the expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel) and the
compensation for services in connection therewith are to constitute expenses of administration
under any bankruptcy law. The provisions of this Section 7.08 shall survive the termination of
this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

Section 7.09. Replacement of Trustee.

     The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the removed Trustee in
writing and may appoint a successor trustee with the Company’s consent. Such resignation or
removal shall not take effect until the appointment by the Securityholders or the Company as
hereinafter provided of a successor trustee and the acceptance of such appointment by such
successor trustee. The Company may remove the Trustee and any Securityholder may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor
trustee for any or no reason, including if:

          (1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.11 after written request by the Company or any
bona fide Securityholder who has been a Securityholder for at least six months;

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

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

          (4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

26

 

     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 45 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee,
the Company or any Holder may petition at the expense of the Company any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee. A successor trustee shall deliver a
written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately
after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor
trustee, 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.
A successor trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Securityholder.

Section 7.10. Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

     If the Trustee consolidates with, merges with or into 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.

Section 7.11. Eligibility; Disqualification.

     This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section
310(a)(1). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000 as set
forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA
Section 310(b).

Section 7.12. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

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

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

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

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

          (b) Upon the Company’s exercise under paragraph (a) of the option applicable to this paragraph
(b), the Company shall be deemed to have been released and discharged from its obligations with
respect to the outstanding Securities of a Series on the date the applicable conditions set forth
below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Legal Defeasance
means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness
represented by the outstanding Securities of a Series, which shall thereafter be deemed to be
“outstanding” only for the purposes of the Sections and matters under this

27

 

Indenture referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all its other
obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned,
except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:
(i) the rights of Holders of outstanding Securities of a Series to receive solely from the trust
fund described in paragraph (d) below and as more fully set forth in such paragraph, payments in
respect of the principal of and interest on such Securities when such payments are due and (ii)
obligations listed in Section 8.02, subject to compliance with this Section 8.01. The Company may
exercise its option under this paragraph (b) notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under
paragraph (c) below with respect to such Securities.

          (c) Upon the Company’s exercise under paragraph (a) of the option applicable to this paragraph
(c), the Company shall be released and discharged from the obligations under any covenant contained
in Article Four (other than Sections 4.01, 4.02 and 4.04), clause (2) of Section 5.01 and any other
covenant contained in the Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture relating to such Series
(except to the extent provided for therein), on and after the date the conditions set forth below
are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Securities of such Series shall
thereafter be deemed to be not “outstanding” for the purpose of any direction, waiver, consent or
declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such
covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For
this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Securities of a
Series, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term,
condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason
of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such
covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall
not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01(3), but, except as specified
above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby.

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

               (1) The Company shall have irrevocably deposited in trust with the Trustee, pursuant to an
irrevocable trust and security agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Trustee, funds in U.S. dollars or U.S. government obligations or a combination thereof in such
amounts and at such times as are sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants, to pay the principal of and interest on the outstanding Securities
of such Series to maturity or redemption; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have received
an irrevocable written order from the Company instructing the Trustee to apply such funds or the
proceeds of such U.S. government obligations to said payments with respect to the Securities of
such Series to maturity or redemption;

               (2) No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such
deposit;

               (3) Such deposit will not result in a Default under this Indenture or a breach or violation
of, or constitute a default under, any other material instrument or agreement for borrowed money to
which the Company is a party.

28

 

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

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

               (6) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, subject to
customary qualifications, to the effect that after the 91st day following the deposit, no trust
funds will be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or if the Company elects paragraph (c) hereof,
such trust funds will be subject to a first priority lien in favor of the Trustee for the benefit
of the Holders of Securities; and

               (7) The Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent specified herein relating to the defeasance
contemplated by this Section 8.01 have been complied with. In the event all or any portion of the
Securities of a Series are to be redeemed through such irrevocable trust, the Company must make
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, at the time of such deposit, for the giving of the notice
of such redemption or redemptions by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.

          (e) In addition to the Company’s rights above under this Section 8.01, the Company may
terminate all of its obligations under this Indenture with respect to a Series (subject to Section
8.02), when:

               (1) Either (a) all Securities of such Series that have been previously authenticated (except
lost, stolen or destroyed Securities that have been replaced or paid and Securities for whose
payment funds previously have been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the
Company and are thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from the trust) have been delivered
to the Trustee for cancellation; or (b) all Securities of such Series that have not been previously
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (A) have become due and payable, (B) will become due and
payable at their maturity within one year or (C) are to be called for redemption within one year
under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the

29

 

giving of a notice of redemption by the Trustee, and the Company has irrevocably deposited or
caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the
Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. government obligations, or a combination thereof,
in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay
and discharge the entire amount due on the Securities not previously delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation for principal and interest on the Securities to the date of deposit, in the case of
Securities that have become due and payable, or to the stated maturity or redemption date, as the
case may be;

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

               (3) The Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited
funds toward the payment of the Securities at maturity or redemption, as the case may be; and

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

Section 8.02. Survival of the Company’s Obligations.

     Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture under Section 8.01, the
Company’s and under Sections 2.03 through 2.07, 4.01, 7.08, 7.09, 8.04 and 8.05, however, shall
survive until the Securities of an applicable Series are no longer outstanding. Thereafter, the
Company’s obligations under Sections 7.08, 8.04 and 8.05 shall survive (as they relate to such
Series).

Section 8.03. Application of Trust Funds.

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

Section 8.04. Repayment to the Company.

     The Trustee and the Paying Agent promptly shall pay to the Company upon request any excess
funds or securities held by them at any time. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the
Company upon request any funds held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains
unclaimed for two years; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being
required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once
in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of New York or mail to each such Holder notice
that such funds remain unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less
than 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing, any unclaimed balance of such funds then
remaining will be repaid to the Company. After payment to the Company, Securityholders entitled to
the funds must look to the Company for payment as

30

 

general creditors unless applicable abandoned property law designates another person, and all
liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such funds shall cease.

Section 8.05. Reinstatement.

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

Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each such
Series affected by the amendment. Each such Series shall vote as a separate class. The Holders of
a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series may waive compliance by
the Company with any provision of the Securities of such Series or of this Indenture relating to
such Series without notice to any Securityholder. Without the consent of each Securityholder of a
Series affected, however, an amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to
Section 6.04, may not:

          (1) reduce the amount of Securities of such Series whose Holders must consent to an amendment,
supplement or waiver;

          (2) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including defaulted
interest, on any Security;

          (3) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Security or alter the
provisions (including related definitions) with respect to redemption of Securities pursuant to
Article Three or with respect to any obligations on the part of the Company to offer to purchase or
to redeem Securities of a Series pursuant to the Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture
pertaining to such Series;

          (4) modify the ranking or priority of the Securities of any Series;

          (5) make any change in Section 6.04, 6.07 or this 9.02;

          (6) waive a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or
interest on any Security; or

          (7) make any Security payable at a place or in funds other than that stated in the Security,
or impair the right of any Securityholder to bring suit as permitted by Section 6.07. An amendment
of a provision included solely for the benefit of one or more Series does not affect the interests
of Securityholders of any other Series.

32

 

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

Section 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.

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

Section 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents.

     A consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver by a Holder shall bind the Holder and every
subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the
consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. Subject
to the following paragraph, any such Holder or subsequent Holder, however, may revoke the consent
as to his Security or portion of a Security. Such revocation shall be effective only if the
Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver
becomes effective. The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the
purpose of determining the Holders of Securities of any Series entitled to consent to any
amendment, supplement or waiver, which record date shall be at least ten days prior to the first
solicitation of such consent. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the last sentence of
the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date or their
duly designated proxies, and only those Persons, shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously
given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent
shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date. After an amendment,
supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder, unless it makes a change
described in any of clauses (1) through (7) of Section 9.02, in which case, the amendment,
supplement or waiver shall bind only each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every
subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the
consenting Holder’s Security; provided that any such waiver shall not impair or affect the right of
any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on a Security, on or after the
respective due dates expressed in such Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such
payment on or after such respective dates without the consent of such Holder.

Section 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, at which time the Trustee shall place an
appropriate notation on the Security about the changed terms and return it to the Holder.
Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the
Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed
terms.

Section 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

     Subject to Section 7.02(b), the Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver
authorized pursuant to this Article if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely
affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may
but

33

 

need not sign it. In signing or refusing to sign such amendment or supplemental indenture, the
Trustee shall be provided with and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that such amendment or supplemental
indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, that it is not inconsistent herewith, and
that it will be valid and binding upon the Company in accordance with its terms.

ARTICLE ELEVEN

SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES

Section 11.01. Securities Subordinated to Senior Indebtedness.

     In the event a series of Securities is designated as subordinated pursuant to Section 2.01(24)
and except as otherwise provided in an Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture, the
Company covenants and agrees, and the Trustee and each Holder of such subordinated Securities by
his acceptance thereof likewise covenant and agree, that all such subordinated Securities shall be
issued subject to the provisions of this Article Eleven; and each person holding any such
subordinated Security, whether upon original issue or upon transfer, assignment or exchange
thereof, accepts and agrees that all payments of the principal of and interest on such Securities
by the Company shall, to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Article Eleven, be
subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all amounts
payable under Senior Indebtedness. In the event a series of Securities is not designated as
subordinated pursuant to Section 2.01(24), this Article Eleven shall have no effect upon such
Securities.

Section 11.02. No Payment on Securities in Certain Circumstances.

          (a) No direct or indirect payment (excluding any payment or distribution of Permitted Junior
Securities) by or on behalf of the Company of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the
Securities or to repurchase any of the Securities, except from those funds held in trust for the
benefit of Holders of any Securities pursuant to the procedures set forth in Article Eight hereof,
whether pursuant to the terms of the Securities, upon acceleration or otherwise, shall be made if,
at the time of such payment, there exists a default in the payment of all or any portion of the
obligations on any Senior Indebtedness, when the same becomes due and payable beyond any applicable period of grace whether at maturity, on account of mandatory redemption

37

 

or prepayment, acceleration or otherwise, and such default shall not have been cured or waived or
the benefits of this sentence waived by or on behalf of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.
In addition, during the continuance of any non-payment event of default with respect to any
Designated Senior Indebtedness pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be immediately
accelerated, and upon receipt by the Trustee of written notice (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) from
the Company or any holder or holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness or the trustee or agent
acting on behalf of such Designated Senior Indebtedness, then, unless and until such event of
default has been cured or waived or has ceased to exist or such Designated Senior Indebtedness has
been discharged or repaid in full in cash or the benefits of these provisions have been waived by
the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness, no direct or indirect payment (excluding any
payment or distribution of Permitted Junior Securities) shall be made by or on behalf of the
Company of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities or to repurchase any of the
Securities, except from those funds held in trust for the benefit of Holders of any Securities
pursuant to the procedures set forth in Article Eight hereof, to such Holders, during a period (a
“Payment Blockage Period”) commencing on the date of receipt of such notice by the Trustee and
ending 179 days thereafter.

     Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Securities to the contrary, (x) in no event shall a
Payment Blockage Period extend beyond 179 days from the date the Payment Blockage Notice in respect
thereof was given (provided that payment may thereafter be restricted if a payment event of default
has occurred), (y) there shall be a period of at least 181 consecutive days in each 360-day period
when no Payment Blockage Period is in effect and (z) not more than one Payment Blockage Period may
be commenced with respect to the Securities during any period of 360 consecutive days. No event of
default that existed or was continuing on the date of commencement of any Payment Blockage Period
with respect to the Designated Senior Indebtedness initiating such Payment Blockage Period may be,
or be made, the basis for the commencement of any other Payment Blockage Period by the holder or
holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness or the trustee or agent acting on behalf of such
Designated Senior Indebtedness, whether or not within a period of 360 consecutive days, unless such
event of default has been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days.

          (b) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment shall be received by the
Trustee or any Holder when such payment is prohibited by Section 11.02(a), such payment shall be
held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Senior
Indebtedness (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amounts of Senior
Indebtedness held by such holders) or their respective representatives, or to the trustee or
trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been
issued, as their respective interests may appear, or, to the extent such Senior Indebtedness is not
then due and payable, to the Company.

Section 11.03. Payment Over of Proceeds upon Dissolution, etc.

          (a) Upon any payment or distribution of assets or securities of the Company of any kind or
character, whether in cash, property or securities (excluding any payment or distribution of
Permitted Junior Securities), upon any dissolution or winding up or liquidation or reorganization
of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceedings, all Senior Indebtedness shall first be paid in full in cash
before

38

 

the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee on behalf of such Holders shall be entitled to
receive any payment by the Company of the principal of or interest on the Securities, or any
payment by the Company to acquire any of the Securities for cash, property or securities, or any
distribution with respect to the Securities of any cash, property or securities (excluding any
payment or distribution of Permitted Junior Securities or from funds held in trust for the benefit
of Holders of any Securities pursuant to the procedures set forth in Article Eight hereof). Before
any payment may be made by, or on behalf of, the Company of the principal of or interest on the
Securities upon any such dissolution or winding up or liquidation or reorganization, any payment or
distribution of assets or securities of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash,
property or securities (excluding any payment or distribution of Permitted Junior Securities or
from funds held in trust for the benefit of Holders of any Securities pursuant to the procedures
set forth in Article Eight hereof), to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee on their
behalf would be entitled, but for the subordination provisions of this Indenture, shall be made by
the Company or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidation trustee, agent or other Person
making such payment or distribution, directly to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness (pro rata
to such holders on the basis of the respective amounts of Senior Indebtedness held by such holders)
or their representatives or to the trustee or trustees or agent or agents under any agreement or
indenture pursuant to which any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their
respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior Indebtedness in
full in cash after giving effect to any prior or concurrent payment, distribution or provision
therefor to or for the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

          (b) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provision prohibiting such payment or
distribution, any payment or distribution of assets or securities of the Company of any kind or
character, whether in cash, property or securities (excluding any payment or distribution of
Permitted Junior Securities or from funds held in trust for the benefit of Holders of any
Securities pursuant to the procedures set forth in Article Eight hereof), shall be received by the
Trustee or any Holder of Securities at a time when such payment or distribution is prohibited by
Section 11.03(a) and before all obligations in respect of Senior Indebtedness are paid in full in
cash, such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of, and
shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness (pro rata to such holders on
the basis of the respective amounts of Senior Indebtedness held by such holders) or their
respective representatives, or to the trustee or trustees or agent or agents under any indenture
pursuant to which any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective
interests may appear, for application to the payment of Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until
all such Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash after giving effect to any prior or
concurrent payment, distribution or provision therefor to or for the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness.

     The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company with or into, another
corporation or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance or transfer
of its property as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to another corporation upon the
terms and conditions provided in Article Five (or any replacement provisions as contemplated by
Article Five) shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization for the
purposes of this Section 11.03 if such other corporation shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions stated in
Article Five (or any replacement provisions as contemplated by Article Five).

39

 

Section 11.04. Subrogation.

     Upon the payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness, or provision for payment in other
than cash is accepted by the holders of Senior Indebtedness in full satisfaction of amounts due in
respect of all Senior Indebtedness, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the rights
of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or
securities of the Company made on such Senior Indebtedness until the principal of and interest on
the Securities shall be paid in full in cash; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no
payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or
securities to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee on their behalf would be entitled
except for the provisions of this Article Eleven, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of
this Article Eleven to the holders of Senior Indebtedness by Holders of the Securities or the
Trustee on their behalf shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior
Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on
account of the Senior Indebtedness. It is understood that the provisions of this Article Eleven
are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the
Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand. If any
payment or distribution to which the Holders of the Securities would otherwise have been entitled
but for the provisions of this Article Eleven shall have been applied, pursuant to the provisions
of this Article Eleven, to the payment of all amounts payable under Senior Indebtedness, then and
in such case, the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to receive from the holders of such
Senior Indebtedness any payments or distributions received by such holders of Senior Indebtedness
in excess of the amount required to make payment in full in cash.

Section 11.05. Obligations of Company Unconditional.

     Nothing contained in this Article Eleven or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities
is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company and the Holders of the Securities, the
obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the
Securities the principal of and interest on the Securities as and when the same shall become due
and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights
of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than the holders of the Senior
Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Holder of any Security or the
Trustee on their behalf from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon
default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article Eleven of the
holders of the Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company
received upon the exercise of any such remedy. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
nothing contained in this Article Eleven shall restrict the right of the Trustee or the Holders of
Securities to take any action to declare the Securities to be due and payable prior to their stated
maturity pursuant to Section 6.01 or to pursue any rights or remedies hereunder; provided, however,
that all Senior Indebtedness then due and payable shall first be paid in full in cash (and no
Payment Blockage Period shall be in effect) before the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee are entitled to receive any direct or indirect payment from the Company of
principal of or interest on the Securities.

40

 

Section 11.06. Notice to Trustee.

     The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact known to the Company
which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities
pursuant to the provisions of this Article Eleven. The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge
of the existence of any event of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness or of any other
facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee unless and until the
Trustee shall have received notice in writing at its Corporate Trust Office to that effect signed
by an Officer of the Company, or by a holder of Senior Indebtedness or trustee or agent therefor;
and prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee shall, subject to Article Seven,
be entitled to assume that no such facts exist; provided that if the Trustee shall not have
received the notice provided for in this Section 11.06 at least two Business Days prior to the date
upon which by the terms of this Indenture any funds shall become payable for any purpose
(including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security), then,
regardless of anything herein to the contrary, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to
receive any funds from the Company and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were
received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or
after such prior date. Nothing contained in this Section 11.06 shall limit the right of the
holders of Senior Indebtedness to recover payments as contemplated by Section 11.03. The Trustee
shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing
himself or itself to be a holder of any Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee on behalf of, or other
representative of, such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of such
Senior Indebtedness or a trustee or representative on behalf of any such holder. In the event that
the Trustee determines in good faith that any evidence is required with respect to the right of any
Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to
this Article Eleven, 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 Eleven, and if such evidence is not
furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to
the right of such Person to receive such payment.

Section 11.07.
Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating
Agent.

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

41

 

Section 11.08. Trustee’s Relation to Senior Indebtedness.

     The Trustee and any Paying Agent shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article
Eleven with respect to any Senior Indebtedness which may at any time be held by it in its
individual or any other capacity to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, and
nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee or any Paying Agent of any of its rights as
such holder.

     With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to
observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article
Eleven, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness
shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any
fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness. The Trustee shall not be liable to any such
holders if the Trustee shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders of
Securities or to the Company or to any other person cash, property or securities to which any
holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article Eleven or otherwise.

Section 11.09. Subordination Rights Not Impaired by Acts or Omissions of the Company or
Holders of Senior Indebtedness.

     No right of any present or future holders of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination
as provided herein shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to
act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder,
or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms of this Indenture, regardless of any
knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with. The provisions of
this Article Eleven are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable directly by,
the holders of Senior Indebtedness.

Section 11.10. Securityholders Authorize Trustee To Effectuate Subordination of
Securities.

     Each Holder of Securities by his acceptance of such Securities authorizes and expressly
directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to
effectuate the subordination provided in this Article Eleven, and appoints the Trustee his
attorney-in-fact for such purposes, including, in the event of any dissolution, winding-up,
liquidation or reorganization of the Company (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership,
reorganization or similar proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or
otherwise) tending towards liquidation of the business and assets of the Company, the filing of a
claim for the unpaid balance of its or his Securities in the form required in those proceedings.

Section 11.11. This Article Not to Prevent Events of Default.

     The failure to make a payment on account of principal of or interest on the Securities by
reason of any provision of this Article Eleven shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence
of an Event of Default specified in clause (1) or (2) of Section 6.01.

42
