2. Registration Under the Securities Act.

     (a) Except as set forth in Section 2(b) below, the Issuer agrees to file under the
Securities Act, one or more registration statements relating to an offer to exchange (such
registration statements, together, the “Exchange Registration Statement,” and such offer, the
“Exchange Offer”) any and all of the Securities for a like aggregate principal amount of debt
securities issued by the Issuer, which debt securities are substantially identical to the
Securities (and are entitled to the benefits of a trust indenture which is substantially
identical to the Indenture or is the Indenture and which has been qualified under the Trust
Indenture Act), except that they have been registered pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act and do not contain provisions for Additional Interest
contemplated in Section 2(d) below (such new debt securities hereinafter called “Exchange
Securities”). The Issuer agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
Exchange Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act no later than 270
days after the Issue Date and consummate the Exchange Offer within 315 days after the Issue
Date. The Exchange Offer will be registered under the Securities Act on the appropriate form
and will comply with all applicable tender offer rules and regulations under the Exchange Act.
Unless the Exchange Offer would not be permitted by applicable law or Commission policy, the
Issuer further agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to (i) commence the Exchange
Offer promptly following the Effective Time of such Exchange Registration Statement, (ii) hold
the Exchange Offer open for at least 20 Business Days in accordance with Regulation 14E
promulgated by the Commission under the Exchange Act, or longer, if required by the federal
securities laws and (iii) exchange Exchange Securities for all Registrable Securities that have
been properly tendered and not withdrawn promptly following the expiration of the Exchange
Offer. The Exchange Offer will be deemed to have been “completed” only: (i) if the Exchange
Securities received by holders, other than Restricted Holders, in the Exchange Offer for
Registrable Securities are, upon receipt, transferable by each such holder without restriction
under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and without material restrictions under the blue
sky or securities laws of a substantial majority of the States of the United States of America
and (ii) upon the Issuer having exchanged, pursuant to the Exchange Offer, Exchange Securities
for all Registrable Securities that have been properly tendered and not withdrawn before the
expiration of the Exchange Offer, which shall be on a date that is at least 20 Business Days
following the commencement of the Exchange Offer. The Issuer agrees (x) to include in the
Exchange Registration Statement a prospectus for use in any resales by any holder of Exchange
Securities that is a broker-dealer and (y) to keep such Exchange Registration Statement
effective for a period (the “Resale Period”) beginning when Exchange Securities are first
issued in the Exchange Offer and ending upon the earlier of the expiration of the
90th day after the Exchange Offer has been completed or such time as such
broker-dealers no longer own any Registrable Securities. With respect to such Exchange
Registration Statement, such holders shall have the benefit of the rights of indemnification
and contribution set forth in Subsections 6(a), (e), (f) and (g). Interest on each Exchange
Security issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer will accrue from the last date on which interest
was paid on the Security surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no interest has been paid on
such Security, from the Issue Date.

     (b) If (i) on or prior to the time the Exchange Offer is completed, existing law or
Commission interpretations are changed such that the debt securities received by holders other
than Restricted Holders in the Exchange Offer for Registrable Securities are not or would not
be, upon receipt, transferable by each such holder without restriction under the Securities
Act, (ii) the Exchange Offer has not been completed by the 315th day following the Issue Date,
(iii) any holder of Registrable Securities notifies the Issuer prior to the 20th
Business Day following the completion of the Exchange Offer that: (A) it is prohibited by law
or Commission policy from participating in the Exchange Offer, (B) it may not resell the
Exchange Securities to the public without delivering a prospectus and the prospectus

5

 

supplement contained in the Exchange Registration Statement is not appropriate or
available for such resales or (C) it is a broker-dealer and owns Securities acquired directly
from the Issuer or an affiliate of the Issuer, or (iv) the Issuer so elects, then the Issuer
shall, in lieu of (or, in the case of clause (iii), in addition to) conducting the Exchange
Offer contemplated by Section 2(a), file under the Securities Act one or more “shelf”
registration statements providing for the registration of, and the sale on a continuous or
delayed basis by the holders of, all of the Registrable Securities, pursuant to Rule 415 or any
similar Rule that may be adopted by the Commission (such filing, the “Shelf Registration,” and
any such registration statements, a “Shelf Registration Statement”). The Issuer agrees to use
all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to become or be
declared effective within the later of 180 days after such Shelf Registration Statement filing
obligation arises or 270 days after the Issue Date; provided that if at any time the Issuer is
or becomes a “well-known seasoned issuer” (as defined in Rule 405) and is eligible to file an
“automatic shelf registration statement” (as defined in Rule 405), then the Issuer shall file
the Exchange Registration Statement in the form of an automatic shelf registration statement as
provided in Rule 405. The Issuer agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to keep
such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective for two years following the Issue Date
(subject to extension pursuant to Section 3(j)) or for such shorter period which will terminate
when all of the securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant
to the Shelf Registration Statement or cease to be Registrable Securities. No holder shall be
entitled to be named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement or to use
the prospectus forming a part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities unless such holder
is an Electing Holder. The Issuer agrees, after the Effective Time of the Shelf Registration
Statement and promptly upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities that is not
then an Electing Holder, to use all commercially reasonable efforts to enable such holder to
use the prospectus forming a part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities, including,
without limitation, any action necessary to identify such holder as a selling securityholder in
the Shelf Registration Statement (whether by post-effective amendment thereto or by filing a
prospectus pursuant to Rules 430B and 424(b) under the Securities Act identifying such holder);
provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall (A) relieve any such holder of the
obligation to return a completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire to the Issuer in
accordance with Section 3(d)(ii) or (B) require the Issuer to file more than one post-effective
amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement in any 45-day period.

     (c) For the sole benefit of each Market Maker or any of their affiliates (as defined under
the rules and regulations of the Commission), so long as (x) any of the Registrable Securities
are outstanding and (y) it would be necessary under applicable laws, rules and regulations, in
the reasonable opinion of any Market Maker, for such Market Maker or any of its affiliates to
deliver a prospectus in connection with market-making activities with respect to the
Registrable Securities or Exchange Securities and such Market Maker or such affiliate proposes
to make a market in the Registrable Securities or Exchange Securities as part of its business
in the ordinary course (the “Market-Making Conditions”), the following provisions shall apply
for the sole benefit of each Market Maker and its affiliates (it being understood that only a
person for whom the Market-Making Conditions apply at the applicable time shall be entitled to
the use of a Market Making Shelf Registration Statement and related provisions of this
Agreement), the Issuer shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to file under the
Securities Act, prior to the Effective Time of an Exchange Registration Statement or a Shelf
Registration Statement, whichever occurs first, a “shelf” registration statement (which may be
the Exchange Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement if permitted by the
rules and regulations of the Commission) pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any
similar rule that may be adopted by the Commission providing for the registration of, and the
sale on a continuous or delayed basis in secondary transactions by each Market Maker of,
Securities (in the event of a Shelf Registration) or Exchange Securities (in the event of an
Exchange Offer) (such filing, the “Market Making Shelf Registration,” and such registration

6

 

statement, the “Market Making Shelf Registration Statement”). The Issuer agrees to use
all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Market Making Shelf Registration Statement to
become or be declared effective on or prior to (i) the date the Exchange Offer is completed
pursuant to Section 2(a) above or (ii) the date the Shelf Registration becomes or is declared
effective pursuant to Section 2(b) above, and to keep such Market Making Shelf Registration
Statement continuously effective for so long as any Market Maker may be required to deliver a
prospectus in connection with transactions in the Securities or the Exchange Securities, as the
case may be. In the event that a Market Maker holds Securities at the time an Exchange Offer
is to be conducted under Section 2(a) above, the Issuer agrees that the Market Making Shelf
Registration shall provide for the resale by such Market Maker of such Securities and shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Market Making Shelf Registration Statement
continuously effective until such time as such Market Maker determines in its reasonable
judgment that it is no longer required to deliver a prospectus in connection with the sale of
such Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, upon 30 days prior written notice to the Market Makers, the Issuer shall not be
required to maintain the effectiveness of the Market Making Shelf Registration Statement at any
time after the tenth anniversary of the Issue Date.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2(c), upon at least 10 Business
Days prior written notice to each Market Maker, the Issuer may elect to cause the Market Making
Shelf Registration Statement to provide for the registration of, and the sale on a continuous
or delayed basis in secondary transactions by any Affiliate Investor of, Securities (in the
event of a Shelf Registration) or Exchange Securities (in the event of an Exchange Offer)
regardless of whether such Affiliate Investor otherwise would qualify as an Electing Holder
eligible to participate in a Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with Section 2(b)
hereof; provided however, if any Market Maker requests in writing at any time that the Issuer
exclude any or all Affiliate Investors from the Market Making Shelf Registration Statement,
then the Issuer shall either omit such Affiliate Investors from inclusion in the Market Making
Shelf Registration Statement or promptly amend the Market Making Shelf Registration Statement
to exclude them from the Market Making Shelf Registration Statement. The inclusion of any
Affiliate Investor in the Market Making Shelf Registration Statement shall not affect the
rights of any Market Maker to make any determinations otherwise provided exclusively to each
Market Maker in this Agreement.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer may suspend the offering and sale under the
Market Making Shelf Registration Statement for one or more periods if the Issuer determines
that such registration would require (i) disclosure of an event at such time as could
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business operations or
prospects of the Issuer (ii) disclosure of material information relating to a corporate
development or (iii) such Market Making Shelf Registration Statement or amendment or supplement
thereto contains an untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading; provided that the Issuer shall promptly notify each Market
Maker when the Market Making Shelf Registration Statement may once again be used.

     (d) In the event that (i) the Exchange Registration Statement (or, if a change in law or
in applicable interpretations of the staff of the Commission does not permit the Issuer to
effect an Exchange Offer, the Shelf Registration Statement) is not declared effective by the
Commission within 270 days after the Issue Date; or (ii) the Exchange Offer is not consummated
within 315 days after the Issue Date (unless the Issuer is not permitted to effect an Exchange
Offer as specified in clause (i) above); or (iii) the Shelf Registration Statement (except as
specified in clause (i)) is not declared effective by the Commission within the later of (x)
180 days after being required to file a Shelf Registration Statement and (y) 270 days after the
Issue Date; or (iv) (A) after the Exchange Registration Statement is

7

 

declared effective, such registration statement thereafter ceases to be effective at any
time during the period in which the Issuer is required to keep it effective hereunder, or (B)
after the Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective, such registration statement
ceases to be effective or usable in connection with resales of Securities at any time prior to
the expiration of two years from the Issue Date (other than as expressly permitted by this
Agreement or after such time as all Securities have been disposed of thereunder or otherwise
cease to be Registrable Securities) (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iv), a
“Registration Default” and each period during which a Registration Default has occurred and is
continuing, a “Registration Default Period”), then, as liquidated damages for such Registration
Default, subject to the provisions of Section 9(b), additional interest (“Additional
Interest”), in addition to the Base Interest, shall accrue on the outstanding principal amount
of the affected Registrable Securities at a per annum rate of 0.50% until the earlier of the
expiration of the Registration Default Period or the second anniversary of the Issue Date;
provided, however, that the Additional Interest rate may not exceed in the aggregate .50% per
annum. Additional Interest shall accrue and be payable only with respect to a single
Registration Default at any given time, notwithstanding the fact that multiple Registration
Defaults may exist at such time. The accrual of Additional Interest shall be the exclusive
monetary remedy available to the holders of Registrable Securities for any Registration
Default. Any amounts of Additional Interest due pursuant to this Section 2(d) will be payable
in cash on the relevant payment dates for the payment of interest on the Notes pursuant to the
Indenture.

     (e) The Issuer shall take all actions necessary or advisable to be taken by it to ensure
that the transactions contemplated herein are effected as so contemplated.

     (f) Any reference herein to a registration statement as of any time shall be deemed to
include any document incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, therein by reference as of
such time and any reference herein to any post-effective amendment to a registration statement
as of any time shall be deemed to include any document incorporated, or deemed to be
incorporated, therein by reference as of such time.

3. Registration Procedures.

               If the Issuer files a registration statement pursuant to Section 2(a), Section 2(b) or Section
2(c), the following provisions shall apply:

     (a) At or before the Effective Time of the Exchange Registration, the Shelf Registration
or the Market Making Shelf Registration, whichever may be first, the Issuer shall qualify the
Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

     (b) In the event that such qualification would require the appointment of a new trustee
under the Indenture, the Issuer shall appoint a new trustee thereunder pursuant to the
applicable provisions of the Indenture.

     (c) In connection with the Issuer’s obligations with respect to the registration of
Exchange Securities as contemplated by Section 2(a) (the “Exchange Registration”), if

any form which may be utilized by the Issuer and which shall permit the Exchange
Offer and resales of Exchange Securities by broker-dealers during the Resale Period

efforts to cause such Exchange Registration Statement to become effective no later
than 270 days after the Issue Date;

Commission and the instructions applicable to the form of such Exchange
Registration Statement, and promptly provide each broker-dealer holding Exchange
Securities with such number of copies of the prospectus included therein (as then

broker-dealer reasonably may request prior to the expiration of the Resale Period,
for use in connection with resales of Exchange Securities;

commissioner or regulator of any state with respect thereto or any request by the
Commission for amendments or supplements to such Exchange Registration Statement or
prospectus or for additional information relating to such Exchange Registration
Statement or prospectus, (C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of such Exchange Registration Statement or the
initiation or threatening of any proceedings for that purpose, (D) if at any time
the representations and warranties of the Issuer contemplated by Section 5 cease to

any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the
Exchange Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening
of any proceeding for such purpose, (F) of the occurrence of any event that causes
the Issuer to become an “ineligible issuer” as defined in Rule 405, (G) if at any
time during the Resale Period when a prospectus is required to be delivered under
the Securities Act, that such Exchange Registration Statement, prospectus,
prospectus amendment or supplement or post-effective amendment does not conform in
all material respects to the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the
Trust Indenture Act or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing or
(H) when the Issuer reasonably determines that a post-effective amendment to the
Exchange Registration Statement would be appropriate;

Securities Act (including, at the option of the Issuer, Rule 158 thereunder).

     (d) In connection with the Issuer’s obligations with respect to any Secondary Offer Shelf
Registration, if applicable, the Issuer shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause
the applicable Secondary Offer Registration Statement to permit the disposition of Registrable
Securities by the holders thereof, in the case of the Shelf Registration, and of Securities or
Exchange Securities by any Market Maker and Affiliate Investor in the case of a Market Making
Shelf Registration (in each case, subject to any applicable period in which dispositions under
the registration statement is suspended hereunder), in accordance with the intended method or
methods of disposition thereof provided for in the applicable Secondary Offer Registration
Statement. In connection therewith, the Issuer shall:

     (i) (A) prepare and file with the Commission, within the time periods
specified in Section 2(b) and Section 2(c) hereof, as applicable, a Secondary Offer
Registration Statement on any form which may be utilized by the Issuer, which shall
register all of the Registrable Securities, in the case of a Shelf Registration,
and the Securities and Exchange Securities, in the case of a Market Making Shelf
Registration, for resale by the holders thereof in accordance with such method or
methods of disposition as may be specified by the holders of the Registrable
Securities as, from time to time, may be Electing Holders, in the case of a Shelf
Registration, or any Market Maker and any Affiliate Investor, in the case of a
Market Making Shelf Registration, and (B) use all commercially

10

 

reasonable efforts to cause each such Secondary Offer Registration Statement
to become effective within the time periods specified in Section 2(b) and Section
2(c) hereof, as applicable;

     (ii) mail the Notice and Questionnaire to the holders of Registrable
Securities (A) not less than 30 days prior to the anticipated Effective Time of the
Shelf Registration Statement or (B) in the case of an “automatic shelf registration
statement” (as defined in Rule 405), mail the Notice and Questionnaire to the
holders of Registrable Securities not later than the Effective Time of such Shelf
Registration Statement, and in any such case no holder shall be entitled to be
named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement, and no
holder shall be entitled to use the prospectus forming a part thereof for resales
of Registrable Securities at any time, unless and until such holder has returned a
completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire to the Issuer; in the case of any
Affiliate Investor that desires to participate in any Market Making Shelf
Registration, such Affiliate Investor shall have returned a completed and signed
Notice and Questionnaire to the Issuer prior to the time that the Issuer notifies
each Market Maker of its intention to include such Affiliate Investor in the Market
Making Shelf Registration, and the responses by the Affiliate Investor in such
Notice and Questionnaire shall be reasonably satisfactory to each of the Issuer and
each Market Maker; provided, however, that holders of Registrable Securities (in
the case of a Shelf Registration Statement) or any Affiliate Investor (in the case
of a Market Making Shelf Registration) shall have at least 28 calendar days from
the date on which the Notice and Questionnaire is first mailed to such holder or
provided to such Affiliate Investor to return a completed and signed Notice and
Questionnaire to the Issuer. Each holder as to which any Shelf Registration
Statement is being filed and each Affiliate Investor agrees promptly to furnish to
the Company all information with respect to such Holder or Affiliate Investor, as
the case may be, necessary to make the information previously furnished to the
Company by such holder or Affiliate Investor not materially misleading;

     (iii) after the Effective Time of the Shelf Registration Statement, upon the
request of any holder that could not have participated in the Exchange Offer,
promptly send a Notice and Questionnaire to such holder; provided that (A) the
Issuer shall not be required to take any action to name such holder as a selling
securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement or to enable such holder to use
the prospectus forming a part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities unless
the Issuer is permitted by applicable law to take such action by means of a
prospectus supplement and such holder has returned a completed and signed Notice
and Questionnaire to the Issuer and (B) nothing in this clause (iii) shall require
the Issuer to file a prospectus supplement more than once in any 30-day period;

     (iv) as soon as practicable (A) prepare and file with the Commission such
amendments and supplements to the Secondary Offer Registration Statement and the
prospectus included therein as may be necessary to effect and maintain the
effectiveness of such Secondary Offer Registration Statement for the period
specified in Section 2(b) and Section 2(c) hereof, as applicable, and as may be
required by the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and the
instructions applicable to the form of such Secondary Offer Registration Statement
and, in the case of an amendment to or supplement of the Market Making Shelf
Registration Statement, and (B) furnish to the Electing Holders, in the case of a
Shelf Registration, and each Market Maker and any Affiliate Investor, in the case
of a Market Making Shelf Registration, copies of any such

11

 

supplement or amendment simultaneously with or prior to its being used or
filed with the Commission to the extent such documents are not publicly available
on the Commission’s EDGAR System;

     (v) comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the
disposition of all of the Registrable Securities, Securities or Exchange
Securities, as applicable, covered by such Secondary Offer Registration Statement
in accordance with the intended methods of disposition provided for therein by the
Electing Holders, in the case of a Shelf Registration, or any Market Maker and any
Affiliate Investor, in the case of a Market Making Shelf Registration;

     (vi) provide (A) with respect to a Shelf Registration, a representative of the
Electing Holders and not more than one counsel for all the Electing Holders, in
each case designated by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Registrable Securities held by the Electing Holders (which counsel
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer), and (B) with respect to a Market
Making Shelf Registration, each Market Maker and one counsel for all Market Makers
and any Affiliate Investor, the opportunity to reasonably participate in the
preparation of such Secondary Offer Registration Statement, each prospectus
included therein or filed with the Commission and each amendment thereto;

     (vii) for a reasonable period prior to the filing of such Secondary Offer
Registration Statement, and throughout the periods specified in Section 2(b) or
Section 2(c) hereof, as applicable, make available at reasonable times at the
Issuer’s principal place of business or such other reasonable place for inspection
by the persons referred to in Section 3(d)(vi) who shall certify to the Issuer that
they have a current intention to sell the Registrable Securities pursuant to the
Shelf Registration, or the Securities or Exchange Securities pursuant to the Market
Making Shelf Registration, as applicable, such financial and other information and
books and records of the Issuer, and cause the officers, employees, counsel and
independent certified public accountants of the Issuer to respond to such
inquiries, as shall be reasonably necessary (and in the case of counsel, not
violate an attorney-client privilege, in such counsel’s reasonable belief), in the
judgment of the respective counsel referred to in Section 3(d)(vi), to conduct a
reasonable investigation within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act;
provided, however, that the foregoing inspection and information gathering on
behalf of the Electing Holders shall be conducted by one counsel designated by the
holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable
Securities held by the Electing Holders at the time outstanding and any managing
underwriter participating in the distribution of the Registrable Securities being
sold; and provided further that each such party shall be required to maintain in
confidence and not to disclose to any other person any information or records
reasonably designated by the Issuer as being confidential, until such time as (A)
such information becomes a matter of public record (whether by virtue of its
inclusion in such Secondary Offer Registration Statement or otherwise), or (B) such
person shall be required so to disclose such information pursuant to a subpoena or
order of any court or other governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over
the matter (subject to the requirements of such order, and only after such person
shall have given the Issuer prompt prior written notice of such requirement), or
(C) such information is required to be set forth in such Secondary Offer
Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or in an amendment to
such Secondary Offer Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement to such
prospectus in order that such Secondary Offer Registration Statement, prospectus,
amendment or supplement, as the case may be, complies with applicable requirements
of the federal securities

12

 

laws and the rules and regulations of the Commission and does not contain an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading in light of the circumstances then existing;

     (viii) promptly notify each of the Electing Holders, any managing underwriter,
each Market Maker or each of the Affiliate Investors, as applicable, and confirm
such advice in writing, (A) when such Secondary Offer Registration Statement or the
prospectus included therein or any prospectus amendment or supplement or
post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to such Secondary Offer
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become
effective, (B) of any comments by the Commission and by the blue sky or securities
commissioner or regulator of any state with respect thereto which are relevant to
the Electing Holders, any managing underwriter, any Market Maker or an Affiliate
Investor, as applicable, or any request by the Commission for amendments or
supplements to such Secondary Offer Registration Statement or prospectus or for
additional information, (C) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of such Secondary Offer Registration Statement or the
initiation or threatening of any proceedings for that purpose, (D) if at any time
the representations and warranties of the Issuer set forth in Section 5 cease to be
true and correct in all material respects, (E) of the receipt by the Issuer of any
notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable
Securities or the Securities or Exchange Securities, as applicable, for sale in any
jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose,
(F) of the occurrence of any event that causes the Issuer to become an “ineligible
issuer” as defined in Rule 405, (G) if at any time when a prospectus is required to
be delivered under the Securities Act, that such Secondary Offer Registration
Statement, prospectus, prospectus amendment or supplement or post-effective
amendment does not conform in all material respects to the applicable requirements
of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act or contains an untrue statement
of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances then existing or (H) when the Issuer reasonably determines that a
post-effective amendment to the Secondary Offer Registration Statement would be
appropriate;

     (ix) use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any
order suspending the effectiveness of such Secondary Offer Registration Statement
or any post-effective amendment thereto at the earliest practicable date;

     (x) if requested by any managing underwriter, Electing Holder, any Market
Maker or any Affiliate Investor, promptly incorporate in a prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment such information as is required by the applicable rules
and regulations of the Commission and, if in connection with such prospectus
supplement or post-effective amendment, as such managing underwriter, Electing
Holder, such Market Maker or such Affiliate Investor specifies should be included
therein relating to the terms of the sale of such Registrable Securities or such
Securities or Exchange Securities, as applicable, including information with
respect to the principal amount of Registrable Securities or Securities or Exchange
Securities, as applicable, being sold by such Electing Holder, managing
underwriter, such Market Maker or any Affiliate Investor, the name and description

and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits thereto (in the case of
an Electing Holder of Registrable Securities, upon request) and documents
incorporated by reference therein) and such number of copies of such Secondary
Offer Registration Statement (excluding exhibits thereto and documents incorporated
by reference therein unless specifically so requested by such Market Maker,
managing underwriter, Electing Holder or Affiliate Investor) and of the prospectus
included in such Secondary Offer Registration Statement (including each preliminary
prospectus and any summary prospectus), in conformity in all material respects with
the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act to
the extent such documents are not available through the Commission’s EDGAR System,
and such other documents, as such Market Maker, such managing underwriter, Electing
Holder or Affiliate Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the
offering and disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Electing
Holder or underwritten by such managing underwriter, the Securities or Exchange
Securities owned by such Market Maker or such Affiliate Investor, as applicable,
and to permit such Electing Holder and managing underwriter, if any, and Affiliate
Investor to satisfy the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act; and
subject to Section 3(e), the Issuer hereby consents to the use of such prospectus
(including such preliminary and summary prospectus) and any amendment or supplement
thereto by each such Market Maker, Electing Holder, managing underwriter and
Affiliate Investor (in each case subject to any applicable Suspension Period), in
each case in the form most recently provided to such person by the Issuer, in
connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities, Securities or
Exchange Securities covered by the prospectus (including such preliminary and
summary prospectus) or any supplement or amendment thereto;

     (xii) use all commercially reasonable efforts to (A) register or qualify the

for so long as may be necessary to enable any such Market Maker, Electing Holder,
underwriter or Affiliate Investor to complete its distribution of Registrable

Securities; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required for any such
purpose to (1) qualify as a foreign limited liability company in any jurisdiction
wherein it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for the requirements of
this Section 3(d)(xii), (2) consent to general service of process in any such
jurisdiction or become subject to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (3) make any

cooperate with the Electing Holders, managing underwriters and each Market Maker to
facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing
Registrable Securities to be sold, which certificates, if so required by any
securities exchange upon which any Registrable Securities are listed, shall be
printed, penned, lithographed, engraved or otherwise produced by any combination of

     (xvii) for so long as any Market Maker may be required to deliver a prospectus
in connection with the offer and sale of Securities or Exchange Securities in
secondary transactions, to deliver to each Market Maker (A) as soon as they are
available, copies of any reports and financial statements furnished to or filed
with the Commission or any national securities exchange or interdealer automated
quotation system on which the Securities or Exchange Securities or any other
securities of the Issuer are listed or quoted and (B) to the extent the Issuer has
previously made a “public disclosure” within the meaning of Rule 101(e) of
Regulation FD (or any successor rule), such additional information concerning the
business and financial condition of the Issuer and its subsidiaries.

     (e) In the event that the Issuer would be required, pursuant to Section 3(d)(ix)(G), to
notify the Electing Holders, managing underwriters, the Market Makers or Affiliate Investors,
the Issuer shall promptly prepare and furnish to each Electing Holder, managing underwriter,
Market Maker and Affiliate Investor a reasonable number of copies of a prospectus

15

 

supplemented or amended so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of Registrable
Securities, Securities or Exchange Securities, as applicable, such prospectus shall conform in
all material respects to the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust
Indenture Act and shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading in light of the circumstances then existing.

     (f) In the event of a Shelf Registration, in addition to the information required to be
provided by each Electing Holder in its Notice and Questionnaire as to which any Shelf
Registration pursuant to Section 2(b) is being effected or to be provided by each Market Maker
and each Affiliate Investor in connection with the Market Making Shelf Registration pursuant to
Section 2(c), the Issuer may require such Electing Holder, Market Maker or an Affiliate
Investor, as applicable, to furnish to the Issuer such additional information regarding such
Electing Holder, Market Maker or Affiliate Investor, and such Electing Holder’s, Market Maker’s
or Affiliate Investor’s, intended method of distribution of Registrable Securities as may be
required in order to comply with the Securities Act. Each such Electing Holder, Market Maker
and Affiliate Investor agrees to notify the Issuer as promptly as practicable of any inaccuracy
or change in information previously furnished by such Electing Holder, Market Maker or
Affiliate Investor, to the Issuer or of the occurrence of any event in either case as a result
of which any prospectus relating to such Shelf Registration or Market Making Shelf
Registration, as applicable, contains or would contain an untrue statement of a material fact
regarding such Electing Holder, Market Maker or Affiliate Investor, or such Electing Holder’s,
Market Maker’s or Affiliate Investor’s intended method of disposition of such Registrable
Securities or omits to state any material fact regarding such Electing Holder, Market Maker or
an Affiliate Investor, or such Electing Holder’s, Market Maker’s or Affiliate Investor’s
intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities, Securities or Exchange
Securities, as applicable, required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, and promptly to furnish to
the Issuer any additional information required to correct and update any previously furnished
information or required so that such prospectus shall not contain, with respect to such
Electing Holder, Market Maker or Affiliate Investor, or the disposition of such Registrable
Securities, Securities or Exchange Securities, as applicable, an untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing.

     (g) Until the expiration of two years after the Exchange Date, the Issuer will not, and
will not permit any of its “affiliates” (as defined in Rule 144) to, resell any of the
Securities that have been reacquired by any of them except pursuant to an effective
registration statement, or a valid exemption from the registration requirements, under the
Securities Act.

     (h) As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer, each holder of Registrable
Securities shall furnish, upon the request of the Issuer, a written representation to the
Issuer (which may be contained in the letter of transmittal or “agent’s message” transmitted
via The Depository Trust Company’s Automated Tender Offer Procedures, in either case
contemplated by the Exchange Registration Statement) to the effect that (A) it is not an
“affiliate” of the Issuer, as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, or if it is such an
“affiliate,” it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act to the extent applicable, (B) it is not engaged in and does not intend to engage
in, and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution
of the Exchange Securities to be issued in the Exchange Offer, (C) it is acquiring the Exchange
Securities in its ordinary course of business, (D) if it is a broker-dealer that holds
Securities that were acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or
other trading activities (other than Securities acquired directly from the Issuer or any of its
affiliates), it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in
connection with any resales of the Exchange Securities received by it in the Exchange Offer,

16

 

(E) if it is a broker-dealer, that it did not purchase the Securities to be exchanged in
the Exchange Offer from the Issuer or any of its affiliates, and (F) it is not acting on behalf
of any person who could not truthfully and completely make the representations contained in the
foregoing subclauses (A) through (E).

     (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Issuer may for valid
business reasons, including without limitation, a potential acquisition, divestiture of assets
or other material corporate transaction, issue a notice that a Market Making Shelf Registration
Statement is no longer effective or the prospectus included therein is no longer usable for
offers and sales of Securities or Exchange Securities, as applicable, and may issue any notice
suspending use of such Market Making Shelf Registration Statement required under applicable
securities laws to be issued for so long as valid business reasons exist and the Issuer shall
not be obligated to amend or supplement such Market Making Shelf Registration Statement or the
prospectus included therein until it reasonably deems appropriate. Each Market Maker agrees
that upon receipt of any notice from the Issuer pursuant to this Section 3(i), it will
discontinue use of each Market Making Shelf Registration Statement until receipt of copies of
the supplemented or amended prospectus relating thereto or until advised in writing by the
Issuer that the use of a Market Making Shelf Registration Statement may be resumed.

     (j) In the case (1) of a Secondary Offer Registration Statement or (2) broker-dealers who
will be utilizing the prospectus contained in the Exchange Registration Statement are seeking
to sell Exchange Securities and are required to deliver such prospectuses, each holder,
managing underwriter, Market Maker and Affiliate Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any
notice from the Issuer of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section
3(c)(iii)(B) through (H) or Section 3(d)(ix)(B) through (H), such holder, managing underwriter,
Market Maker and Affiliate Investor will forthwith discontinue disposition of Securities
pursuant to a Secondary Offer Registration Statement or an Exchange Registration Statement
until such holder’s, managing underwriter’s, Market Maker’s and Affiliate Investor’s receipt of
the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus pursuant to the terms hereof or until it
is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Issuer that the use of the applicable prospectus
contained in the Secondary Offer Registration Statement or the Exchange Registration Statement
may be resumed, and, if so directed by the Issuer, such holder, managing underwriter, Market
Maker and Affiliate Investor will deliver to the Issuer (at the Issuer’s expense) all copies in
such holder’s, managing underwriter’s, Market Maker’s and Affiliate Investor’s possession,
other than permanent file copies then in such holder’s, managing underwriter’s, Market Maker’s
and Affiliate Investor’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Securities, as the case
may be, current at the time of receipt of such notice. Additionally, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in Section 2(b), upon notice to the Electing Holders, the Issuer may suspend
the disposition of Securities under a Shelf Registration Statement, or extend the time period
in which it is required to file the Shelf Registration Statement for one or more periods of up
to 90 days in the aggregate in any 12-month period if the Board of Directors of the Issuer
determines that there is a valid business purpose for suspension of the Shelf Registration
Statement; provided that the Issuer shall promptly notify the Electing Holders when the Shelf
Registration Statement may once again be used or is effective. If the Issuer shall give any
such notice to suspend the disposition of Securities, as the case may be, pursuant to a
Secondary Offer Registration Statement or an Exchange Registration Statement, the Issuer shall
file and use its reasonable best efforts to have declared effective (if an amendment) as soon
as practicable an amendment or supplement to the Secondary Offer Registration Statement or the
Exchange Registration Statement. The Issuer shall extend the period during which such Shelf
Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number
of days in the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including
the date when the Issuer shall have made available to the holders (x) copies of the
supplemented or

17

 

amended prospectus contained in the Shelf Registration Statement necessary to resume such
dispositions or (y) the Advice.

4. Registration Expenses.

               The Issuer agrees to bear and to pay or cause to be paid promptly all expenses incident to the
Issuer’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement, including (a) all Commission and any

disbursements of any other persons, including special experts, retained by the Issuer in connection

connection with compliance with state securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel for any underwriters or holders in connection with blue sky qualification
of any of the Registrable Securities, Securities and Exchange Securities) and compliance with the
rules of FINRA. To the extent that any Registration Expenses are incurred, assumed or paid by any
holder of Registrable Securities, any Market Maker or Affiliate Investor, the Issuer shall
reimburse such person for the full amount of the Registration Expenses so incurred, assumed or paid
promptly after receipt of a request therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holders of the

the market-making activities of the Market Makers to be set forth on the cover page and in the
“Plan of Distribution” section of the prospectus forming a part of the Market Making Shelf
Registration Statement and in the analogous section of the Canadian wrapper, if any, of such
prospectus.

     (b) Any documents incorporated by reference in any prospectus referred to in Section 5(a),
when they become or became effective or are or were filed with the Commission, as the case may

expressly for use therein, which information, with respect to information provided by the

     (c) The compliance by the Issuer with all of the provisions of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions herein contemplated will not (i) conflict with or result in a
breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which
the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which the Issuer or any of its

expected to result in a material adverse effect on the business, properties, condition
(financial or otherwise) or results of operations of the Issuer and its subsidiaries, taken as
a whole (a “Material Adverse Effect”); and no consent, approval, authorization, order,
registration or qualification of or with any such court or governmental agency or body is

obtained and are in full force and effect as of the date hereof and (z) such consents,
approvals, authorizations, registrations or qualifications that the failure to have would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

               This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Issuer.

6. Indemnification and Contribution.

     (a) Indemnification by the Issuer. The Issuer will indemnify and hold harmless each of
the holders of Registrable Securities included in an Exchange Registration Statement, each of
the Electing Holders of Registrable Securities included in a Shelf Registration Statement, each
of the Market Makers as holders of Registrable Securities or Exchange Securities included in a
Market Making Shelf Registration Statement and each of the Affiliate Investors as holders of
Registrable Securities or Exchange Securities included in a Market Making Shelf Registration
Statement against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such
holder, such Market Maker, such Electing Holder or Affiliate Investor may become subject under
the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Exchange Registration Statement or
Secondary Offer Registration Statement, as the case may be, under which such series of
Registrable Securities or Exchange Securities, as applicable, were registered under the
Securities Act, or any preliminary, final or summary prospectus (including, without limitation,
any “issuer free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 433) contained therein or furnished by
the Issuer to any such holder, such Market Maker, such Electing Holder or Affiliate Investor or
any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse any such holder, such Market Maker,
such Electing Holder and such Affiliate Investor for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such
expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be liable to any such
person in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out
of or is based upon an untrue

20

 

statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such
registration statement, or preliminary, final or summary prospectus (including, without
limitation, any “issuer free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 433) or amendment or
supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to
the Issuer by such person expressly for use therein, which information, with respect to
information provided by any Market Makers for inclusion in the prospectus forming a part of the
Market Making Shelf Registration Statement the parties hereto agree will be limited to the
statements concerning the market-making activities of the Market Makers to be set forth on the
cover page and in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the prospectus forming a part of the
Market Making Shelf Registration Statement and in the analogous section of the Canadian
wrapper, if any, of such prospectus.

     (b) Indemnification by the Holders. Each holder of Registrable Securities, severally and
not jointly, will (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer and all other holders of
Registrable Securities, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Issuer
or such other holders of Registrable Securities may become subject, under the Securities Act or
otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in such registration statement, or any preliminary, final or summary
prospectus (including, without limitation, any “issuer free writing prospectus” as defined in
Rule 433) contained therein or furnished by the Issuer to any such Electing Holder, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that
such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuer by such
Electing Holder expressly for use therein, and (ii) reimburse the Issuer for any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by the Issuer in connection with investigating or defending any
such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that no such Electing
Holder shall be required to undertake liability to any person under this Section 6(b) for any
amounts in excess of the dollar amount of the proceeds to be received by such Electing Holder
from the sale of such Electing Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration.

     (c) Indemnification by the Market Makers. The Issuer may require, as a condition to
including any Securities or Exchange Securities in the Market Making Shelf Registration
Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(c) hereof and to entering into any underwriting agreement
with respect thereto, that the Issuer shall have received an undertaking reasonably
satisfactory to it from each underwriter named in any such underwriting agreement, severally
and not jointly, to, and each Market Maker shall, and hereby agrees to, (i) indemnify and hold
harmless the Issuer against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Issuer may
become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Market Making Shelf
Registration Statement, or any preliminary, final or summary prospectus contained therein or
furnished by the Issuer to the Market Makers or to any such underwriter, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon
and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuer by such Market Maker or such
underwriter expressly for use therein, which information, with respect to information provided
by any Market Maker for inclusion in the prospectus forming a part of the Market Making Shelf
Registration Statement the parties hereto agree will be limited to the statements concerning
the market-making activities of the

21

 

Market Makers to be set forth on the cover page and in the “Plan of Distribution” section
of the prospectus forming a part of the Market Making Shelf Registration Statement and in the
analogous section of the Canadian wrapper, if any, of such prospectus and (ii) reimburse the
Issuer for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Issuer in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided,
however, that, in the case of Securities held by any Market Maker at the time of the Exchange
Offer, no Market Maker shall be required to undertake liability to any person under this
Section 6(c) for any amounts in excess of the dollar amount of the proceeds to be received by
such Market Maker from the sale of such Securities by such Market Maker pursuant to the Market
Making Shelf Registration.

     (d) Indemnification by Affiliate Investors in Connection with the Market Making Shelf
Registration. The Issuer may require, as a condition to including any Securities or Exchange
Securities in the Market Making Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(c)
hereof and to entering into any underwriting agreement with respect thereto, that the Issuer
shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from each underwriter named in
any such underwriting agreement, severally and not jointly, to, and each Affiliate Investor
shall, and hereby agrees to, (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities to which the Issuer may become subject, under the Securities Act
or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in the Market Making Shelf Registration Statement, or any preliminary,
final or summary prospectus contained therein or furnished by the Issuer to such Affiliate
Investor or to any such underwriter, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or
are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the
extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Issuer by such Affiliate Investor or such underwriter expressly
for use therein, and (ii) reimburse the Issuer for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by the Issuer in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim
as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that, in the case of Securities held by any
Market Maker at the time of the Exchange Offer, no Market Maker shall be required to undertake
liability to any person under this Section 6(d) for any amounts in excess of the dollar amount
of the proceeds to be received by such Market Maker from the sale of such Securities by such
Market Maker pursuant to the Market Making Shelf Registration.

     (e) Notices of Claims, Etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
subsection (a), (b), (c) or (d) above of written notice of the commencement of any action, such
indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying
party pursuant to the indemnification provisions of or contemplated by this Section 6, notify
such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of such action; but the omission so to
notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any
indemnified party otherwise than under the indemnification provisions of or contemplated by
Section 6(a), 6(b), 6(c) or 6(d). In case any such action shall be brought against any
indemnified party and it shall notify an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, such
indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall
wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense
thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except
with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after
notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the
defense thereof, such indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any
legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by
such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs

22

 

of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the
indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any
judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which
indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party
is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or
judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability
arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an
admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

     (f) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provisions contemplated by
Section 6(a), 6(b), 6(c) or 6(d) are unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an
indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the
statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The
relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied
by such indemnifying party or by such indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions
pursuant to this Section 6(f) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the holders were
treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not
take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 6(f). The amount paid
or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, or liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other
fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating
or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(f),
none of any holder, Affiliate Investor or, in the case of a Market Making Shelf Registration
relating to the sale by any Market Maker of Securities held by it at the time of the Exchange
Offer, such Market Maker, shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by
which the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such holder from the sale of any
Registrable Securities or such Market Maker or any Affiliate Investor from the sale of any such
Securities (after deducting any fees, discounts and commissions applicable thereto) exceeds the
amount of any damages which such holder or such Market Maker or such Affiliate Investor, as
applicable, have otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution
from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The holders’, Market
Maker’s and any Affiliate Investor’s obligations in this Section 6(f) to contribute shall be
several in proportion to the principal amount of Registrable Securities registered by them and
not joint.

     (g) The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 6 shall be in addition to any
liability which the Issuer may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and
conditions, to each officer, director and partner of each Market Maker, each holder, Electing
Holder, Affiliate Investor, and each person, if any, who controls any Market Maker, any holder,
Electing Holder and Affiliate Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act; and the
obligations of the Market Makers, the holders, the Electing Holders, the Affiliate Investors
contemplated by this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability which the Market Makers,
Electing Holders, the other respective holders or Affiliate Investors may otherwise have and
shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Issuer

23

 

(including any person who, with his consent, is named in any registration statement as
about to become a director of the Issuer) and to each person, if any, who controls the Issuer
within the meaning of the Securities Act.

7. Underwritten Offerings.

               Each holder of Registrable Securities hereby agrees with the Issuer and each other such holder
that no holder of Registrable Securities may participate in any underwritten offering hereunder
unless (a) the Issuer gives its prior written consent to such underwritten offering, (b) the
managing underwriter or underwriters thereof shall be designated by Electing Holders holding at
least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities to be included in such
offering, provided that such designated managing underwriter or underwriters is or are reasonably
acceptable to the Issuer, (c) each holder of Registrable Securities participating in such
underwritten offering agrees to sell such holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in
any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such
arrangements and (d) each holder of Registrable Securities participating in such underwritten
offering completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting
agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting
arrangements.

8. Rule 144.

               The Issuer covenants to the holders of Registrable Securities, the Market Makers or any
Affiliate Investor that to the extent it shall be required to do so under the Exchange Act, the
Issuer shall timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act or the
Securities Act (including the reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to
in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144), and shall take such further action as any holder of
Registrable Securities, any Market Maker or any Affiliate Investor may reasonably request, all to
the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell Registrable Securities or any
Market Maker or any Affiliate Investor to sell Securities or Exchange Securities without
registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144.
Upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities, any Market Maker or any Affiliate
Investor in connection with that holder’s, that Market Maker’s or that Affiliate Investor’s sale
pursuant to Rule 144, the Issuer shall deliver to such holder, such Market Maker or such Affiliate
Investor a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

9. Miscellaneous.

     (a) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Issuer represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that
it has not granted, and shall not grant, registration rights with respect to Registrable
Securities, Securities or Exchange Securities, as applicable, or any other securities which
would be inconsistent with the terms contained in this Agreement.

     (b) Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge that there would be no adequate
remedy at law if the Issuer fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder and that the
holders from time to time of the Registrable Securities may be irreparably harmed by any such
failure, and accordingly agree that the holders, in addition to any other remedy to which they
may be entitled at law or in equity, shall be entitled to compel specific performance of the
obligations of the Issuer under this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, in any court of the United States or any State thereof having jurisdiction.
Time shall be of the essence in this Agreement.

     (c) Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands, waivers and other communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered by
hand, if delivered personally, by facsimile or by courier, or three days after

24

 

being deposited in the mail (registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt
requested) as follows: If to the Issuer, to it at Energy Plaza, 1601 Byran Street, Dallas,
Texas 75201-3411, Attention: General Counsel, and if to a holder, to the address of such
holder set forth in the security register or other records of the Issuer, or to such other
address as the Issuer or any such holder may have furnished to the other in writing in
accordance herewith, except that notices of change of address shall be effective only upon
receipt.

     (d) Parties in Interest. All the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding
upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and the
holders from time to time of the Registrable Securities and the respective successors and
assigns of the parties hereto and such holders. In the event that any transferee of any holder
of Registrable Securities shall acquire Registrable Securities, in any manner, whether by gift,
bequest, purchase, operation of law or otherwise, such transferee shall, without any further
writing or action of any kind, be deemed a beneficiary hereof for all purposes and such
Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all of the terms of this Agreement, and by
taking and holding such Registrable Securities such transferee shall be entitled to receive the
benefits of, and be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by all of the applicable
terms and provisions of this Agreement. If the Issuer shall so request, any such successor,
assign or transferee shall agree in writing to acquire and hold the Registrable Securities
subject to all of the applicable terms hereof.

     (e) Survival. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and
each other provision set forth in this Agreement or made pursuant hereto shall remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation (or statement as to the results thereof) made
by or on behalf any Market Maker, any Affiliate Investor or any holder of Registrable
Securities, any director, officer or partner of such Market Maker, such Affiliate Investor or
such holder, or any controlling person of any of the foregoing, and shall survive delivery of
and payment for the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Indenture and the transfer and
registration of Registrable Securities by such holder or of Securities or Exchange Securities
by any Market Maker or any Affiliate Investor and the consummation of an Exchange Offer.

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

     (g) Headings. The descriptive headings of the several Sections and paragraphs of this
Agreement are inserted for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and
shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

     (h) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the other writings referred to
herein (including the Indenture and the form of Securities) or delivered pursuant hereto which
form a part hereof contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to its subject
matter. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties
with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may be amended and the observance of any
term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either
retroactively or prospectively) only by a written instrument duly executed by the Issuer, the
holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities at
the time outstanding and each of the Market Makers; provided, however, that any such amendment
or waiver affecting solely provisions of this Agreement relating to the Market Making Shelf
Registration may be effected by a written instrument duly executed solely by the Issuer and
each of the Market Makers. Each holder of any Registrable Securities at the time or thereafter
outstanding shall be bound by any amendment or waiver effected pursuant to this Section 9(h),
whether or not any notice, writing or marking indicating such amendment or waiver appears on
such Registrable Securities or is delivered to such holder.

25

 

     (i) Inspection. For so long as this Agreement shall be in effect, this Agreement and a
complete list of the names and addresses of all the holders of Registrable Securities and the
address of each Market Maker and each Affiliate Investor shall be made available for inspection
and copying on any Business Day by any Market Maker, any Affiliate Investor or any holder of
Registrable Securities for proper purposes only (which shall include any purpose related to the
rights of the holders of Registrable Securities under the Securities, the Indenture and this
Agreement) at the offices of the Issuer at the address thereof set forth in Section 9(c) and at
the office of the Trustee under the Indenture.

     (j) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties in counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such respective counterparts shall together
constitute one and the same instrument.

     (k) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof in any
circumstance, is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason,
the validity, legality and enforceability of such provision in every other respect and of the
remaining provisions contained in this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

26

 

               If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign and return to us
counterparts hereof, and upon the acceptance hereof by you, on behalf of each of the Purchasers,
this letter and such acceptance hereof shall constitute a binding agreement between each of the
Purchasers and the Issuer.

Reference is hereby made to the Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”)

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer has filed or will file with the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form [___]
(the “Shelf Registration Statement”) for the registration and resale under Rule 415 of the

order to have Registrable Securities included in the Shelf Registration Statement, this Notice of
Registration Statement and Selling Securityholder Questionnaire (“Notice and Questionnaire”) must

	 	(b)	 	Set forth below is Interpretation A.65 of the Commission’s July 1997 Manual of Publicly
Available Interpretations regarding short selling:
	 
	 	 	 	“An issuer filed a Form S-3 registration statement for a secondary offering of common
stock which is not yet effective. One of the selling shareholders wanted to do a short
sale of common stock “against the box” and cover the short sale with registered shares
after the effective date. The issuer was advised that the short sale could not be made
before the registration statement becomes effective, because the shares underlying the
short sale are deemed to be sold at the time such sale is made. There would, therefore,
be a violation of Section 5 if the shares were effectively sold prior to the effective
date.”

	 	 	 	By returning this Notice and Questionnaire, the undersigned Selling Securityholder will be
deemed to be aware of the foregoing interpretation.

Exhibit 10.26

2008 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

Columbia River Bank —                      

     This Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into this 16th day of April,
2008 by and between Columbia River Bank, an Oregon corporation (“Bank”) and                     
(“Employee”).

RECITALS

     (1) Bank is a state-chartered Oregon financial institution, and is the wholly owned subsidiary
of Columbia Bancorp (“Bancorp“). Bancorp’s principal office is at 401 East Third Street, Suite
200, The Dalles, Oregon 97058.

     (2) Bank desires to employ Employee as an officer of Bank on the terms and conditions set
forth herein.

     Now, therefore, it is agreed:

     1. Relationship and Duties.

     1.1 Employment and Title. Bank shall employ Employee as an officer of Bank with such title as
the Chief Executive Officer of the Bank shall designate. Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, employee shall perform such duties and exercise such authority as are customarily performed
and exercised by persons holding such office, subject to the general direction of the Chief
Executive Officer of the Bank and of the Boards of Directors of Bancorp and the Bank. Such
services and duties shall be exercised in good faith and in accordance with standards of reasonable
business judgment. As used herein, references to “Bank” shall be deemed to also refer to and
include Bancorp where the context requires.

     1.2 Duties; Conflicts. Employee shall devote his full time, attention and efforts to the
diligent performance of his duties as an officer of the Bank. Employee will not accept employment
with any other individual, corporation, partnership, governmental authority or any other entity, or
engage in any other venture for profit which Bancorp, or any subsidiary, parent, sister or
affiliated corporation of Bancorp, considers to be in conflict with their best interests or to be
in competition with their business, or which may interfere in any way with Employee’s performance
of his duties hereunder.

     1.3 Service on Other Company Boards. Nothing in the Agreement shall prohibit Employee from
serving on the board of directors of any profit or non-profit corporation not in direct competition
with Bancorp or with any subsidiary, parent, sister

Page 1 — 2008 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

 

or affiliated corporation of Bancorp. In addition, Employee may own stock in any other corporation
whether or not the stock is publicly traded; provided, that if such corporation operates a business
in competition with Bancorp Employee may not own more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding
shares of such corporation.

     2. Term of Employment.

     2.1 Two-Year Term. The term of employment under the Agreement shall begin on April 16, 2008
and end on April 15, 2010.

     3. Termination.

     3.1 Definition. As used in the Agreement, “termination” shall mean the termination of
Employee’s employment relation with Bank, whether initiated by Bank or by Employee, and whether for
cause or without cause.

     3.2 Termination Events. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Agreement, the employment
of Employee shall terminate immediately on the earlier to occur of any of the following:

          3.2.1 Employee’s death;

          3.2.2 Employee’s complete disability. “Complete disability” as used herein shall mean the
inability of Employee, due to illness, accident, or other physical or mental incapacity, to perform
the services required under the Agreement for an aggregate of ninety (90) days within any period of
180 consecutive days during the term hereof; provided, however, that disability shall not
constitute a basis for discharge for cause;

          3.2.3 The discharge of Employee by Bank for cause. “Cause” as used herein shall mean (i)
Employee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as shall constitute, as a matter of law, a breach
of the covenants and obligations of Employee hereunder; (ii) failure or refusal of Employee to
comply with the provisions of the Agreement; (iii) Employee’s conviction by any duly constituted
court with competent jurisdiction of a crime (other than traffic offenses); (iv) Employee’s
malfeasance or incompetence, provided that in applying this criteria Bank shall not be unreasonable
or arbitrary, and provided further that prior to effecting a dismissal under this Section (iv) Bank
shall afford Employee with fair and reasonable warning and with a fair and reasonable opportunity
to cure any defects in Employee’s performance.

     3.3 Termination by Employee. Employee may terminate his employment with Bank with or without
cause by giving thirty (30) days written notice of termination. “Cause” as used herein shall
include Bank’s failure or refusal to comply with the provisions of the Agreement.

     3.4 Effect of Termination. The termination of Employee’s employment shall constitute a tender
by Employee of his resignation as an officer of Bank, and as a member

Page 2 — 2008 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

 

of any board of directors or board committees of Bancorp or its affiliates if Employee is a member
thereof at the time of termination.

     3.5 Payment on Termination. If Employee’s employment is terminated by Employee with or
without cause, or by Bank with or without cause, Employee shall be paid all base salary and
benefits accrued under the Agreement as of the termination date.

          3.6 Severance Payment. If Employee’s employment is terminated by Employee with cause, or by
Bank without cause, Employee shall be paid all base salary and benefits accrued under the Agreement
as of the termination date, and in addition, shall be entitled to a severance payment equal to the
lesser of (i) four month’s base salary as of the date of termination multiplied by the number of
full calendar years Employee has been employed by Bank or any predecessor thereof, or (ii) one
month’s base salary as of the date of termination multiplied by twenty-four (24). For purposes of
Section 3.6(i) a period of continuous full-time employment for six months or more in a calendar
year shall count as a full calendar year. If for any period Employee has been employed
simultaneously by Bank and by one or more of its affiliates, such period shall count only once in
determining the severance payment under Section 3.6(i). The severance payment provided herein
shall be paid in full within thirty (30) days of the date of Employee’s termination. Employee
shall not be entitled to such severance payment if Employee’s employment is terminated by Bank with
cause, or by Employee without cause, and in either such case, Employee shall only be entitled to
receive on termination a payment equal to Employee’s base salary and benefits accrued under the
Agreement as of the termination date, and no other payments.

     3.7 Performance Bonus. If Employee’s employment is terminated by Employee with cause, or by
Bancorp without cause, Employee shall be paid, in addition to the amounts payable under Sections
3.5 and 3.6 of the Agreement: (i) all non-forfeitable deferred compensation, if any; and (ii)
unpaid performance bonus payments, if any, payable under Section 4.2 of the Agreement, which shall
be declared earned and payable based upon performance up to, and shall be pro-rated as of, the date
of termination. Employee shall not be entitled to such unpaid performance bonus payments if
Employee’s employment is terminated by Bancorp with cause, or by Employee without cause.

     4. Compensation.

     4.1 Base Salary. For the period beginning April 16, 2008 and ending April 15, 2010, Employee
shall be paid an annual base salary of                     , payable in equal bimonthly installments and
subject to any deductions required by law.

     4.2 Performance Bonus. Employee shall be entitled to consideration for annual performance
bonus compensation for each calendar year constituting a percentage of annual base salary earned
from his employment by Bank during such calendar year. Bonus compensation shall be subject to any
deductions required by law. The Bank or

Page 3 — 2008 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

 

Bancorp Board shall timely, and at least once yearly, determine the amount of and the formulas and
methods for establishing such bonus compensation. The amount of such bonus compensation shall at
all times be discretionary, and Bank may decline to award a performance bonus to Employee in any
year.

          4.2.1 Employee shall be entitled to a pro-rata performance bonus for less than a full year of
performance if Employee’s employment is terminated by Employee with cause, or by the Bank without
cause (including termination following a change of control as described in Section 7.4 of the
Agreement), prior to the date on which Employee would otherwise be entitled to consideration for
Employee’s annual performance bonus. In such circumstances, such pro-rata performance bonus shall
be declared earned and payable as of the date of termination.

which may be or become applicable to Bank’s executive employees of similar rank. In addition,
Employee shall be entitled to: (i) a reasonable expense account for use in connection with Bank
business; and (ii) any other benefits which in Bank’s judgment are commensurate with the
responsibilities and functions to be performed by Employee under the Agreement, including the
payment of reasonable expenses for attendance by Employee and Employee’s spouse at annual meetings
of the Oregon Bankers Association.

5.3 Car Allowance. Employee shall receive the use of Bank-owned vehicle in accordance with Bank
policies.

     5.4 Share Ownership. During the term of the Agreement, including extensions, Employee shall
purchase shares of Bancorp Stock, including purchases through the exercise of stock options, in
accordance with the share ownership policies and requirements established by Bancorp or Bank
management in effect from time to time for employees of comparable rank.

     6. Vacations and Leaves.

     6.1 Paid Vacation. During the term of the Agreement, Employee shall be entitled to annual
paid vacation benefits identical to those offered to employees of Bank holding executive vice
president or higher positions. The timing of vacations shall be scheduled in a reasonable manner

Page 4 — 2008 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

 

receive any additional compensation from Bank on account of his failure to take a vacation, and may
not accumulate unused vacation time from one calendar year to the next.

     6.2 Leaves With or Without Pay. The Bank Board may grant Employee a leave or leaves of
absence, with or without pay, at such time or times and upon such terms and conditions as the Board
may determine.

     6.3 Mandatory Absence. In each calendar year Employee shall be absent from Bank for one
period of two consecutive weeks. Such period may include vacation, leave, sick leave, attendance at seminars or conventions, or any combination thereof.

     7. Change of Control.

     7.1 Survival of Rights. Employee’s rights on termination of employment under Section 3 of the
Agreement, as well as all other rights of Employee under the Agreement or applicable law, shall
survive a change of control of Bancorp or Bank whether or not Employee opposed or favored the
change of control.

     7.2 Rights on Change of Control. If a change of control of Bancorp or Bank occurs while the
Agreement is in effect, Employee shall have ninety (90) days following the date such change of
control becomes effective to elect to terminate Employee’s employment with cause. If Employee so
elects to terminate, such termination shall constitute a termination by Employee with cause, and
Employee shall receive all payments and benefits due to Employee on termination by Employee with
cause under Section 3 of the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if following such change of
control Employee is offered a position of employment either substantially equivalent to Employee’s
compensation and position prior to the change of control, or an executive officer position with
significant responsibility and compensation commensurate (and substantially equivalent to his
previous compensation) with such responsibility, and Employee elects nevertheless to termination
Employee’s employment under this Section 7.2, Employee shall be entitled to a maximum severance
payment under Section 3.6 equal to one month’s base salary as of the date of termination multiplied
by nine (9).

     7.3 Base Compensation. Following a change of control, Bank shall not reduce Employee’s base
compensation in effect prior to the effective date of the change of control for a period of time
equal to the greater of (i) twenty four (24) months from the effective date of the change of
control; (ii) one (1) month for each full calendar year Employee has been employed by Bank; or
(iii) the remaining term of the Agreement, including any extensions thereof. For purposes of this
Subsection 7.3, a period of continuous full-time employment for six months or more in a calendar
year shall count as a full calendar year.

     7.4 Termination Without Cause. If following a change of control Bank terminates Employee’s
employment within two (2) years of the effective date of the

Page 5 — 2008 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

 

change of control because of a reduction in force or for any other reason, other than for cause
pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Agreement, such termination shall constitute a termination by Bank
without cause, and Employee shall receive all payments and benefits due to Employee on termination
under Sections 3.5 and 3.6 of the Agreement, plus: (i) all non-forfeitable deferred compensation,
if any; and (ii) unpaid performance bonus payments, if any, payable under Section 4.2 of the
Agreement, which shall be declared earned and payable based upon performance up to, and shall be
pro-rated as of, the date of termination.

     7.5 Options and Stock. If Employee is a participant in a restricted stock plan or share
option plan, and such plan is terminated involuntarily as a result of the change of control, all
stock and options shall be declared fully vested and shall be paid, awarded or otherwise
distributed. With respect to any unexercised options under any stock option plan, such options may
be exercised within the period provided in such plan. Effective as of the date of the change of
control, any holding period established for stock paid as bonus or other compensation shall be
deemed terminated, except as otherwise provided by law.

     7.6 Relocation. If relocation is required by the acquiring institution the relocation package
option will be at the choice of the employee. He/She may pick Columbia’s relocation package at the
time of the merger or the package offered by the acquiring company. This option is available for
one year from the merger date.

     7.7 Definition. As used in this Section, “control” shall mean the acquisition during
Employee’s employment of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the voting securities of Bancorp or
Bank by any person, or persons acting as a group within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or to such acquisition of a percentage between ten percent (10%)
and twenty-five percent (25%) if the Board or the Comptroller of the Currency, the FDIC, or the
Federal Reserve Bank have made a determination that such acquisition constitutes or will constitute
control of Bancorp or Bank. The term “person” refers to an individual, corporation, bank, bank
holding company, or other entity, but excludes any Employee Stock Ownership Plan established for
the benefit of employees of Bancorp or any of its subsidiaries or other affiliates.

     8. Post Termination Covenants.

     8.1 Non-Compete Covenants. If Employee terminates his employment without cause, or if
Employee’s employment is terminated by Bank for cause, then for one year from the date of such
termination Employee will not, without the prior written consent of Bank:

          8.1.1 Undertake full or part-time work, either as an employee or as a consultant, for another
financial institution if such work is to be done, in whole or in part, in or from an office or
other work site in Yamhill, Wasco, Hood River, Jefferson, Deschutes, Sherman or Gilliam Counties,
Oregon, in Klickitat County, Washington, or in

Page 6 — 2008 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

 

any other county in Oregon or Washington in which Bancorp or any of its affiliates has a place of
business at the time of termination; or

          8.1.2 Hire for any financial institution or other employer (including himself) any employee of
Bancorp or any of its affiliates, or directly or indirectly cause such an employee to leave his or
her employment to work for another employer, if such employee is to work in or from an office or
other work site in Yamhill, Wasco, Hood River, Jefferson, Deschutes, Sherman or Gilliam Counties,
Oregon, in Klickitat County, Washington, or in any other county in Oregon or Washington in which
Bancorp or any of its affiliates has a place of business at the time of termination.

     8.2 Liquidated Damages for Breach of Non-Compete Covenants; Other Remedies. If Employee
breaches the covenants of Section 8.1, Employee shall be liable to Bank for liquidated damages
equal to the lesser of (i) $18,000, or (ii) $1,500 multiplied by the number of months (including
fractions thereof) between the date of breach and one year from the date of Employee’s termination
of employment. For example, if the date of breach occurs six months after the date of Employee’s
termination, liquidated damages shall be $9,000 (6 x $1,500). The parties agree that Bank’s actual
money damages upon Employee’s breach will be difficult to compute, and further agree that the
liquidated damages formula provided herein reasonably represents Bank’s actual money damages.
Employee shall pay the liquidated damages required hereunder within ten (10) days of the date Bank
makes written demand for such payment. Nothing herein shall preclude Bank from enforcing any other
legal or equitable remedies it may have upon Employee’s breach, including injunctive relief. Such
other remedies may be enforced in addition to Bank’s right to liquidated damages under this
Section.

     8.3 Limitation. The covenants in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 do not apply if Employee terminates his
employment for cause, if Employee terminates his employment for any reason within ninety (90) days
after the effective date of a change of control within the meaning of Section 7 of the Agreement,
or if Employee’s employment is terminated by Bank without cause.

     8.4 Additional Covenants. The following provisions shall apply and be binding on Employee
following Employee’s termination of employment under all circumstances, whether termination
occurred with cause, without cause, following illness or disability, because of a change of
control, or for any other reason:

          8.4.1 Employee shall fully cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any litigation arising
from or relating to matters about which Employee has knowledge based on his employment or other
work, paid or unpaid, for Bank and its affiliates. To the extent allowed by law Employee shall
receive reasonable compensation in connection with his performance under this Section 8.4.1;

          8.4.2 Employee shall at all times keep all confidential and proprietary information gained
from his employment by Bank, or from other previous, present or subsequent paid or unpaid work for
Bank and its affiliates, in strictest confidence, and

Page 7 — 2008 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

 

will not disclose or otherwise disseminate such information to anyone, other than to employees of
Bank or its affiliates, except as may be required by law, regulation or subpoena; and

          8.4.3 Employee shall not take or use for any purpose confidential or proprietary information
of Bank or its affiliates, including without limitation customer or potential customer lists and
trade secrets.

     8.5 Advancement of Employee. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Agreement constitutes
a bona fide advancement of Employee with the Employer under ORS 653.295 in several respects,
including without limitation an increase in base salary and benefits.

entity which acquires a controlling interest in Bank and any person or entity which acquires all or
substantially all of Bank’s assets. Bank and any such successor or assign shall be and remain
jointly and severally liable to Employee under the Agreement. Employee may not assign or transfer
Employee’s rights or interests in or under the Agreement other than by a will or by the laws of
descent and distribution. The Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by
Employee’s estate or legal representative.

exceptions must be approved in writing.
