     INVESTMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of December 17, 2008 (this “Agreement”), between
Flagstar Bancorp, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Michigan (the
“Company”) and MP Thrift Investments L.P. a Delaware limited partnership
(“Purchaser”).

RECITALS:

A. Purchaser. Purchaser is formed as an “alternative investment vehicle” for the purpose
of making the investment described herein with capital intended to be contributed (subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement) by investors in MatlinPatterson Global Opportunities
Partners III L.P. and MatlinPatterson Global Opportunities Partners Cayman III L.P. The parties
acknowledge and agree that the investment is being made by Purchaser in accordance with the “silo”
structure set forth in Schedule 2.2(f) of the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule and neither
MatlinPatterson Global Advisers LLC or its Affiliates (“MatlinPatterson”), MatlinPatterson
Global Opportunities Partners III L.P., MatlinPatterson Global Opportunities Partners Cayman III
L.P., nor any other fund or entity sponsored or advised by MatlinPatterson shall have any
obligations hereunder;

B. The Investment. The Company intends to issue and sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser
intends to purchase from the Company, as an investment in the Company 250,000 shares of a series of
mandatory convertible participating voting preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the
Company, having the terms set forth in Exhibit A (the “Convertible Preferred
Stock”), in each case on the terms and conditions described herein. Each share of Convertible
Preferred Stock will be sold to Purchaser at a purchase price of $1,000 per share and shall be
convertible into common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common
Stock”) at the liquidation preference divided by $0.80;

C. TARP Transaction. The Company submitted an application for participation in the TARP
Capital Purchase Program. If such application is approved by the United States Department of the
Treasury (“Treasury”), the Company intends to issue and sell to Treasury in transactions
exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), (i) shares of fixed rate cumulative perpetual preferred stock (the “TARP Preferred
Stock”) and (ii) a warrant (the “TARP Warrant”) to purchase a specified number of
shares of Common Stock (the “TARP Warrant Shares” and together with the TARP Preferred
Stock and the TARP Warrant, collectively, the “TARP Securities”; the issuance and sale of
the TARP Securities are the “TARP Transaction”; the approval of the TARP Transaction
granted by Treasury is the “TARP Approval” and the definitive documents entered into in
connection therewith are the “TARP Documents”);

D. Management Agreement. In connection with the TARP Transaction, members of management of
the Company listed on Schedule A hereto have agreed, if and to the extent required, to amend their
respective employment agreements and executive compensation arrangements to comply with the
requirements of participation in the TARP Capital Purchase Program;

E. Certificate of Incorporation Amendment. The Company intends to amend its Amended and
Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and its bylaws, in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, to give effect to the transactions,

 

 

including the Stockholder Proposals and the governance matters described in Article IV hereof,
contemplated by this Agreement;

F. Investor Amendments. Certain of the several investors who purchased securities pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement, dated May 14, 2008, between the Company and the purchasers named therein
(the “May Purchase Agreement”) have, in connection with the TARP Transaction, agreed to
accept in full satisfaction of any and all obligations under Section 8 of the May Purchase
Agreement, warrants (the “Investor Warrants”) to purchase Common Stock (the “Investor
Amendments”);

G. Management Purchase. In connection with the investment by Purchaser, the Company shall
issue and sell to the persons listed in Schedule D hereto (the “Management Purchasers”)
shares of Common Stock (the “Management Purchased Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price
of not less than $4 million and not more than $5 million at a price per Management Purchased Share
of $0.80 per share, provided, however, that if the Company does not have sufficient shares of
Common Stock available for issuance prior to the Certificate of Incorporation amendment, then the
Management Purchasers shall instead purchase an equivalent number shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock on an as converted basis as would have been purchased if sufficient shares of Common stock
were available for issuance; and

H. The Securities. The term “Purchased Shares” refers to the Convertible Preferred
Stock to be purchased pursuant to the terms of Section 1.2(b)(1) of this Agreement. The term
“Securities” refers collectively to (1)  the Convertible Preferred Stock and the shares of
Common Stock into which the Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible in accordance with the terms
thereof and of this Agreement (the “Converted Common Shares”), (2) the Management Equity
(including the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of options, the “Option
Shares”), (3) the Investor Warrants (including shares of Common Stock to be issued upon
exercise thereof), (4) the TARP Securities and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of the TARP Warrant and (5) the Management Purchased Shares. When issued and purchased in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Convertible Preferred Stock will be evidenced by a
share certificate incorporating the terms set forth in a certificate of designations for the
Convertible Preferred Stock substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A (the
“Preferred Stock Certificate of Designations”) made a part of the Certificate of
Incorporation by the filing of the Preferred Stock Certificate of Designations with the Michigan
Department of Labor and Economic Growth (the “Michigan Secretary”).

covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

injunction, order or decree shall prohibit the Closing or shall prohibit or
restrict Purchaser or its Affiliates from owning or voting, or, subject to
the receipt of approval of the Stockholder Proposals, converting any

foregoing;

     (B) the Company shall have received proceeds of the sale of the TARP
Securities of not less than $250,000,000 prior to the Closing Date;

     (C) the Company shall have received the approval of the NYSE to issue

also subject to the fulfillment or written waiver by Purchaser prior to the Closing
of each of the following conditions:

need only be true and correct as of such specified earlier date);

     (C) Purchaser shall have received a certificate signed on behalf of the
Company by a senior executive officer certifying to the effect that the
conditions set forth in Sections 1.2(c)(2)(A) and (B) have been satisfied;

     (D) Since the date of this Agreement, (i) no fact, event, change,
condition, development or circumstance shall have occurred that,
individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect (as defined herein) with respect to the Company,
(ii) there shall have been no decrease greater than or equal to 7.5% in core
deposits (i.e., money market, demand, checking, savings and transactional
accounts for retail customers) of the Company as of September 30, 2008 and
(iii) there shall have been no material legislative change or change in
regulatory interpretation affecting the tax consequences of the Purchase to
Flagstar Bank, FSB (the “Bank”) under existing Notice 2008-83, or

     (F) Any Required Approvals (as defined herein) required to consummate
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall have been made or been
obtained and shall be in full force and effect as of the Closing Date;
provided, however, that (1) no such Required Approval shall impose any
restraint or condition that would reasonably be expected to impair in any
material respect the benefits to Purchaser of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and (2) no such Required Approval shall contemplate the
registration of MatlinPatterson or any fund sponsored or advised by it, or
any of its Affiliates (other than Purchaser or those companies identified as
possible Applicants in Schedule F) as a savings and loan company or
subsidiary thereof, or impose any activities or other restrictions, require
a modification of governance, fee arrangements and carried interests with
respect to, or impose any capital or other requirements on MatlinPatterson
or any person (other than Purchaser or those companies identified as
possible Applicants in Schedule F), including with respect to any person any
agreement or requirement to maintain or contribute to capital of the Company
or the Bank) (each, a “Burdensome Condition”) and, provided, further
that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the imposition
of a Burdensome Condition in connection with any Required Approval shall
constitute a denial of such Required Approval and such Required Approval
shall be deemed not received for all purposes in this Agreement, including
Section 5.1(d);

     (G) The board of directors of the Company (the “Board of
Directors”) shall have adopted a board resolution nominating the Board

Purchaser and Purchaser delivered to the Company a schedule (a “Disclosure Schedule”)
setting forth, among other things, items the disclosure of which is necessary or appropriate either
in response to an express disclosure requirement contained in a provision hereof or as an exception
to one or more representations or warranties contained in Section 2.2 with respect to the Company,
or in Section 2.3 with respect to Purchaser, or to one or more covenants contained in Article III.

     (b) As used in this Agreement, any reference to any fact, change, circumstance or
effect being “material” with respect to the Company means such fact, change, circumstance or

circumstance, event, change, development or effect (including changes in applicable laws,

or financial conditions) that, individually or in the aggregate, (1) is material and adverse
to the business, assets, properties, prospects, results of operations or condition
(financial or otherwise) of the Company and Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or (2) would
materially impair the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement
or to consummate the Closing.

     (c) “Previously Disclosed” with regard to (1) a party means information set
forth on its Disclosure Schedule, provided, however, that disclosure in any section of such
Disclosure Schedule shall apply only to the indicated section of this Agreement except to
the extent that it is reasonably apparent from the face of such disclosure that

6

 

such disclosure is relevant to another section of this Agreement, and (2) the Company
means information publicly disclosed by the Company in (A) its Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, as filed by it with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) on March 13, 2008 (the “Company 10-K”), (B) its
Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, as filed by it with the SEC on April 29, 2008,
(C) its Quarterly Reports filed on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2008, June 30,
2008 and September 30, 2008 or (D) any Current Report on Form 8-K filed or furnished by it
with the SEC since January 1, 2008 and publicly available prior to the date of this
Agreement (excluding any risk factor disclosures contained in such documents under the
heading “Risk Factors” and any disclosure of risks included in any “forward-looking

     (d) Authorization. (1) The Company has the full legal right, corporate power
and authority to enter into this Agreement and the Preferred Stock Certificate of
Designations and to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by the Board of Directors. This Agreement has
been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due authorization,
execution and delivery by Purchaser, is a valid and binding obligation of the Company
enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms (except as enforcement may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent
transfer and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’
rights or by general equity principles). No other corporate proceedings are necessary for
the execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement, the performance by it of its
obligations hereunder or the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby,
subject, in the case of the authorization of the Converted Common Shares, to receipt of the
approval by the Company’s stockholders of the Stockholder Proposals. Assuming the receipt
of the NYSE Approval, no vote of stockholders will be needed for the issuance of the
Convertible Preferred Stock or the ability of Purchaser to exercise the voting rights
contained therein, except for the

9

 

approval described in Section 3.1(b)(A) to issue the Converted Common Shares. The only
vote of the stockholders of the Company required in connection with (i) the conversion of
the Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock and the amendments to the Company’s equity
compensation plan to effect the Management Equity issuance for purposes of Section 312.03 of
the NYSE Listed Company Manual is a majority of the votes cast on such proposal, provided
that the total vote cast on the proposal represents over 50% in interest of all securities
entitled to vote on the proposal (after taking into account any securities not entitled to
vote pursuant to the rules of the NYSE), (ii) the amendment of the Certificate of
Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to at least such
number as shall be sufficient to permit the full issuance of the Securities and the
amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws to implement the governance matters
contemplated in Section 4.1 hereof, is the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than
a majority of the outstanding Common Stock. To the Company’s knowledge, all shares of
Common Stock outstanding on the record date for a meeting at which a vote is taken with
respect to the Stockholder Proposals shall be eligible to vote on such proposals.

     (2) Neither the execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement, nor
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor compliance by the
Company with any of the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, the
conversion provisions of the Convertible Preferred Stock), will (A) violate,
conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default
(or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a
default) under, or result in the termination of, or result in the loss of any
benefit or creation of any right on the part of any third party under, or accelerate
the performance required by, or result in a right of termination or acceleration of,
or result in the creation of any liens, charges, adverse rights or claims, pledges,
covenants, title defects, security interests and other encumbrances of any kind
(“Liens”) upon any of the material properties or assets of the Company or
any Subsidiary under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of (i) subject in
the case of the authorization and issuance of the Converted Common Shares to receipt
of the approval by the Company’s stockholders of the Stockholder Proposals, its
Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws (or similar governing documents) or the
certificate of incorporation, charter, bylaws or other governing instrument of any
Subsidiary or (ii) any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, license,
lease, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which the Company or any
Subsidiary is a party or by which it may be bound, or to which the Company or any
Subsidiary or any of the properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary may
be subject, or (B) subject to compliance with the statutes and regulations referred
to in Section 2.2(f), violate any law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, permit,
concession, grant, franchise or any judgment, ruling, order, writ, injunction or
decree applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary or any of their respective
properties or assets.

relating to the Company, including the consolidated Subsidiaries, is made known to
the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of the Company by others
within those entities, and (B) has

12

Exchange Act) that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability
to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (y) any fraud,
whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a
significant role in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Since
December 31, 2007 and until the date of this Agreement, (A) neither the Company nor
any Subsidiary nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any director, officer,
employee, auditor, accountant or representative of the Company or any Subsidiary has
received or otherwise had or obtained knowledge of any material complaint,
allegation, assertion or claim, whether written or oral, regarding the accounting or

engaged in questionable accounting or auditing practices, and (B) no attorney
representing the Company or any Subsidiary, whether or not employed by the Company
or any Subsidiary, has reported evidence of a material violation of securities laws,

     (i) Properties and Leases. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and
marketable title to all real properties and all other properties and assets owned by them
(other than any assets the Company has repossessed), in each case free from Liens that would
affect the value thereof or interfere with the use made or to be made thereof by them in any
material respect. The Company and its Subsidiaries own or lease all properties as are
necessary to their operations as now conducted. The Company and the Subsidiaries hold all
leased real or personal property under valid and enforceable leases with no exceptions that

the assets of either the Company or the Subsidiaries

13

 

except for statutory Liens for current Taxes not yet due. None of the Company or any

any distribution occurring during the last two years in which the parties to such
distribution treated the distribution as one to which Section 355 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) is applicable. None of the Company or any
Subsidiary has engaged in any transaction that is the same as or substantially similar to a
“reportable transaction” for federal income tax purposes within the meaning of Treasury
Regulations section 1.6011-4. Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has engaged
in a transaction of which it made disclosure to any taxing authority to avoid penalties
under Section 6662(d) or any comparable provision of state, foreign or local law. Neither
the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has participated in any “tax amnesty” or similar
program offered by any taxing authority to avoid the assessment of penalties or other
additions to Tax. The Company and each of the Subsidiaries have complied in all material
respects with all requirements to report information for Tax purposes to any individual or
Taxing Authority, and have collected and maintained all requisite certifications and
documentation in valid and complete form with respect to any such reporting obligation,
including, without limitation, valid Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8 and W-9. No claim
has been made by a Tax Authority in a jurisdiction where the Company or any of the
Subsidiaries, as the case may be, does not file Tax Returns that the Company or any of such
Subsidiaries, as the case may be, is or may be subject to Tax by that jurisdiction. For
purposes of this Agreement, “Taxes” shall mean all taxes, charges, levies, penalties
or other assessments imposed by any United States federal, state, local or foreign taxing
authority, including any income, excise, property, sales, transfer, franchise, payroll,
withholding, social security, abandoned or unclaimed property or other taxes, together with
any interest or penalties attributable thereto, and any payments made or owing to any other
person measured by such taxes, charges, levies, penalties or other assessment, whether
pursuant to a tax indemnity agreement, tax sharing payment or otherwise (other than pursuant
to commercial agreements or Benefit Plans). For purposes of this Agreement, “Tax
Return” shall mean any return, report, information return or other document (including
any related or supporting information) required to be filed with any taxing authority with
respect to Taxes, including, without limitation, all information returns relating to Taxes
of third parties, any claims for refunds of Taxes and any amendments or supplements to any
of the foregoing.

     (k) Absence of Certain Changes. Since December 31, 2007 until the date hereof
and except as Previously Disclosed, (1) the Company and the Subsidiaries have conducted
their respective businesses in all material respects in the ordinary and usual course of
business and consistent with prior practice, (2) neither the Company nor the Bank has

interests, (4) the Company has not had and no fact, event, change, condition, development or
circumstance has occurred that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect with respect to the Company, and (5) no material default (or event which, with notice
or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a material default)

14

 

exists on the part of either the Company or the Bank or, to their knowledge, on the
part of any other party, in the due performance and observance of any term, covenant or
condition of any agreement to which the Company or the Bank is a party and which is,
individually or in the aggregate, material to the condition (financial or otherwise) of the
Company and the Bank, taken as a whole. Such agreements are in full force and effect, and
no other party to any such agreement has instituted or, to the knowledge of the Company or
the Bank, threatened any action or proceeding wherein the Company or the Bank is or would be
alleged to be in default thereunder, under circumstances where such action or proceeding, if
determined adversely to the Company or the Bank, would have or be reasonably likely to have
a Material Adverse Effect.

     (l) No Undisclosed Liabilities. Neither the Company nor any of the
Subsidiaries has any material liabilities or obligations of any nature and is not an obligor
under any guarantee, keepwell or other similar agreement (absolute, accrued, contingent or
otherwise) except for (i) liabilities or obligations reflected in or reserved against in the
Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2008 and
current liabilities that have arisen since the respective dates thereof in the ordinary and
usual course of business and consistent with past practice and (ii) contractual liabilities
under (other than liabilities arising from any breach or violation of) agreements made in

provided (by hard copy, electronic data room or otherwise) to Purchaser or its
representatives true, correct and complete copies of, each of the following to which the

indemnity obligations, of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries.

knowledge, neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has received notice of any

Significant Agreement.

     (n) Offering of Purchased Shares. Neither the Company nor any person acting on
its behalf has taken any action (including any offering of any securities of the Company)
under circumstances which would require the integration of such offering with the offering
of any of the Purchased Shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement under the Securities
Act, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, which might subject
the offering, issuance or sale of any of the Purchased Shares to Purchaser pursuant to this
Agreement to the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

     (o) Status of Purchased Shares. The Purchased Shares (upon filing of the
Preferred Stock Certificate of Designations with the Michigan Secretary) to be issued
pursuant to this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action,
subject to the approval of the Stockholder Proposals. When issued, delivered and sold
against receipt of the consideration therefore as provided in this Agreement, the Purchased
Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, will not be issued in violation
of or subject to preemptive rights of any other stockholder of the Company and, provided

any price-based antidilution adjustments under any agreement to which the Company is a
party. The voting rights of the Holders of the Purchased Shares will be enforceable in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and with the terms of the Certificate of
Designations. No stockholder of the Company has any right (which will not have been waived

the Closing Date will have complied in all material respects with all laws, regulations,
ordinances and orders relating to public health, safety or the environment (including
without limitation all laws, regulations, ordinances and orders relating to releases,
discharges, emissions or disposals to air, water, land or groundwater, to the withdrawal or
use of groundwater, to the use, handling or disposal of polychlorinated biphenyls, asbestos
or urea formaldehyde, to the treatment, storage, disposal or management of hazardous
substances, pollutants or contaminants, or to exposure to toxic, hazardous or other
controlled, prohibited or regulated substances), the violation of which would or might have
a material impact on the Company on the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement. In addition, and irrespective of such compliance, neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any liability for environmental remediation or
clean-up, including any liability or class of liability of the lessee under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended

representation or certification proceedings or petitions seeking a representation proceeding
presently pending or threatened to be brought or filed with the National Labor Relations
Board or any other labor relations tribunal or authority. There are no organizing
activities, strikes, work stoppages, slowdowns, lockouts, material arbitrations or material
grievances, or other material labor disputes pending or to the Company’s knowledge
threatened against or involving the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company and each
Subsidiary believe that their relations with their employees are

17

 

good. No executive officer of the Company (as defined in Rule 501(f) promulgated under
the Securities Act) has notified the Company that such officer intends to leave the Company
or otherwise terminate such officer’s employment with the Company. No executive officer of
the Company is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any
employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement,
non-competition agreement, or any other agreement or any restrictive covenant, and the
continued employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any
Subsidiary to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters.

     (s) Company Benefit Plans.

     (1) (A) With respect to each Benefit Plan, the Company and the Subsidiaries
have complied, and are now in compliance, in all material respects, with all

Plan; and (B) each Benefit Plan has been administered in all material respects in

defined contribution pension plan.

     (3) No Benefit Plans are subject to Title IV or described in Section 3(37) of
ERISA, and neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries has at any time within the past
six (6) years sponsored or contributed to, or has or had within the past six
(6) years any liability or obligation in respect of, any plan subject to Title IV or
described in Section 3(37) of ERISA. The Company has not incurred any current or
projected liability in respect of post-retirement health, medical or life insurance
benefits for Company Employees, except as required to avoid an excise tax under
Section 4980B of the Code or comparable State benefit continuation laws.

     (4) (A) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (i) result in any payment
(including severance, unemployment compensation, “excess parachute payment” (within
the meaning of Section 280G of the Code), forgiveness of indebtedness or otherwise)
becoming due to any current or former employee,

18

 

officer or director of the Company or any Subsidiary from the Company or any

Subsidiary has taken, or permitted to be taken, any action that required, and no
circumstances exist that will require the funding, or increase in the funding, of
any benefits, or will result, in any limitation on the right of the Company or any
Subsidiary to amend, merge, terminate any Benefit Plan or receive a reversion of
assets from any Benefit Plan or related trust.

     (5) The Company and the Subsidiaries will be in compliance as of the Closing
Date, with Sections 111 and 302 of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008,
including all guidance issued thereunder by a Governmental Entity.

     (t) Risk Management Instruments. All material derivative instruments,
including, swaps, caps, floors and option agreements, whether entered into for the Company’s
own account, or for the account of one or more of the Subsidiaries, were entered into (1)
only in the ordinary and usual course of business and consistent with past practice, (2) in
accordance with prudent practices and in all material respects with all applicable laws,
rules, regulations and regulatory policies and (3) with counterparties believed to be
financially responsible at the time; and each of them constitutes the valid and legally
binding obligation of the Company or one of the Subsidiaries, enforceable in accordance with
its terms. Neither the Company or the Subsidiaries, nor, to the knowledge of the Company,
any other party thereto, is in breach of any of its material obligations under any such
agreement or arrangement.

policies, its internal controls, its management or its operations or business (each item in
this sentence, a “Regulatory Agreement”), nor has the Company or any Subsidiary been
advised since December 31, 2006 and until the date hereof by any Governmental Entity that it
is considering issuing, initiating, ordering, or requesting any such Regulatory Agreement.
Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is a party or subject to any Regulatory Agreement.

19

 

     (v) Environmental Liability. There is no legal, administrative, arbitral or
other proceeding, claim, action or notice of any nature seeking to impose, or that could

of the Company or any Subsidiary with respect to any environmental health or safety matter
or any private or governmental, environmental health or safety investigation or remediation
activity of any nature arising under common law or under any local, state or federal
environmental, health or safety statute, regulation or ordinance, including CERCLA, pending
or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary or any
property in which the Company or any Subsidiary has taken a security interest the result of
which has had or would reasonably be expected to have a material impact on the Company; to
the Company’s knowledge, there is no reasonable basis for, or circumstances that could
reasonably be expected to give rise to, any such proceeding, claim, action, investigation or

hereof and (C) to amend the Company’s equity compensation plans as necessary to implement an
equity incentive program (the “Management Equity”) as described at Schedule E
hereto. The Board of Directors shall unanimously recommend to the Company’s stockholders
that such stockholders vote in favor of the Stockholder Proposals (subject to any legally
required abstentions) (such recommendation, the “Company Recommendation”) and the
Purchaser shall vote (to the extent it is entitled to vote) in favor of the Stockholder
Proposals, provided that, Purchaser’s obligation to vote in favor of the Stockholder
Proposal described in clause (C) above shall be conditioned upon the prior approval by the
stockholders of the Stockholder Proposals described in clauses (A) and (B) above. In
connection with such meeting, the Company shall promptly prepare (and Purchaser will
reasonably cooperate with the Company to prepare) and file with the SEC a preliminary proxy
statement, shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond to any comments of the SEC or
its staff and to cause a definitive proxy statement related to such stockholders’ meeting to
be mailed to the Company’s stockholders not more than five business days after clearance
thereof by the SEC, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies for such
stockholder approval. The Company shall notify Purchaser promptly of the receipt of any
comments from the SEC or its staff with respect to the proxy statement and of any request by
the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to such proxy statement or for additional
information and will supply Purchaser with copies of all correspondence between the Company
or any of its representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff, on the other hand,
with respect to such proxy statement. If at any time prior to such stockholders’ meeting
there shall occur any event that is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement
to the proxy statement, the Company shall as promptly as practicable prepare and mail to its
stockholders such an amendment or supplement. Each of Purchaser and the Company agrees
promptly to correct any information provided by it or on its behalf for use in the proxy
statement if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading
in any material respect, and the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, prepare and mail
to its stockholders an amendment or supplement to correct such information to the extent
required by applicable laws and regulations. The Company shall consult with Purchaser prior
to filing any proxy statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, and provide Purchaser
with a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon. In the event that the approval of any of
the

28

 

Stockholder Proposals is not obtained at such special stockholders meeting, the Company
shall include a proposal to approve (and the Board of Directors shall unanimously recommend
approval of and the Purchaser shall vote in favor of) each such proposal at a meeting of its
stockholders no less than once in each subsequent six-month period beginning on March 1,
2009 until all such approvals are obtained or made.

     (c) Purchaser, on the one hand, agrees to furnish the Company, and the Company, on the
other hand, agrees, upon request, to furnish to Purchaser, all information concerning
itself, its Affiliates, directors, officers, partners and stockholders and such other
matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the proxy statement
in connection with any such stockholders meeting and any other statement, filing, notice or
application made by or on behalf of such other party or any of its Subsidiaries to any
Governmental Entity in connection with the Closing and the other transactions contemplated
by this Agreement.

     (d) Unless this Agreement has been terminated pursuant to Section 5.1, Purchaser hereby
agrees that at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company held to vote on any
Stockholder Proposals contemplated herein and not previously approved by the Company’s
stockholders, however called, Purchaser shall vote, or cause to be voted, all of the
Purchased Shares owned by Purchaser and its Affiliates in favor of such Stockholder
Proposals; provided, further that, Purchaser’s obligation to vote in favor of the
Stockholder Proposal described in clause (C) of Section 3.1(b) above shall be conditioned
upon the prior approval by the stockholders of the Stockholder Proposals described in
clauses (A) and (B) of Section 3.1(b) above.

     3.2 Access, Information and Confidentiality.

     (a) From the date hereof until the date when the Securities purchased pursuant to this
Agreement and held by Purchaser represent less than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock
(counting as shares owned by Purchaser all Converted Common Shares and assuming that to the
extent Purchaser shall purchase any additional shares of Common Stock, any later sales of
Common Stock by Purchaser shall be deemed to be shares other than Securities to the extent
of such additional purchases) (the “Qualifying Ownership Interest”), the Company
will permit Purchaser to visit and inspect, at Purchaser’s expense, the properties of the
Company and the Subsidiaries, to examine the corporate books and to discuss the affairs,
finances and accounts of the Company and the Subsidiaries with the principal officers of the
Company, all upon reasonable notice and at such reasonable times and as often as Purchaser
may reasonably request. Any investigation pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be conducted
during normal business hours and in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the
conduct of the business of the Company, and nothing herein shall require the Company or any
Subsidiary to disclose any information to the extent (i) prohibited by applicable law or
regulation, (ii) that the Company reasonably believes such information to be competitively
sensitive proprietary information (except to the extent Purchaser provides assurances
reasonably acceptable to the Company that such information shall not be used by Purchaser or
its Affiliates to compete with the Company and Subsidiaries), or (iii) that such disclosure
would reasonably be expected to cause a violation of any agreement to

29

 

which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or would cause a risk of a loss of
privilege to the Company or any Subsidiary (provided that the Company shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under
circumstances where the restrictions in this clause (iii) apply). In the event, and to the
extent, that, as a result of any change in applicable law or regulation or a judicial or
administrative interpretation of applicable law or regulation, it is reasonably determined
that the rights afforded pursuant to this Section 3.2 are not sufficient for purposes of the
Department of Labor’s “plan assets” regulations, to the extent such plan assets regulation
applies to the investment in the Securities, Purchaser and the Company shall cooperate in
good faith to agree upon mutually satisfactory management access and information rights
which satisfy such regulations.

     (b) Each party to this Agreement will hold, and will cause its respective Affiliates
and their directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors to hold, in
strict confidence, unless disclosure to a regulatory authority is necessary or appropriate
in connection with any necessary regulatory approval or unless disclosure is required by
judicial or administrative process or, in the written opinion of its counsel, by other
requirement of law or the applicable requirements of any regulatory agency or relevant stock
exchange, all non-public records, books, contracts, instruments, computer data and other
data and information (collectively, “Information”) concerning the other party hereto
furnished to it by such other party, its representatives or any Board Observer pursuant to
this Agreement (except to the extent that such information can be shown to have been (1)
previously known by such party on a non-confidential basis, (2) in the public domain through
no fault of such party or (3) later lawfully acquired from other sources by the party to
which it was furnished), and neither party hereto shall release or disclose such Information
to any other person, except its auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, other consultants
and advisors and as permitted by Section 4.1(f).

     3.3 Conduct of the Business.

termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.1 (the “Pre-Closing Period”),

interest rate swaps, caps, floors and option agreements and other interest rate risk

     (17) Communication. Make any written or oral communications to the
officers or employees of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries pertaining to
compensation or benefit matters that are affected by the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement without providing Purchaser with a copy or written description of
the intended communication and a reasonable period of time to review and comment on
such communication; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent human
resources personnel of the Company from orally answering questions of individual
employees pertaining to compensation or benefit matters with respect to such
individual employee that are affected by the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement on an individual basis with such employee.

     (18) Adverse Actions. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof,
knowingly take, or knowingly omit to take, any action that is reasonably likely to
result in any of the conditions set forth in Section 1.2(c) not being satisfied, or

obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby, except as required by applicable law or this Agreement.

     (19) Commitments. Enter into any contract with respect to, or
otherwise agree or commit to do, any of the foregoing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 3.3(a) shall limit or require any

their duties or the Company’s obligations under applicable law or imposed by any
Governmental Entity.

33

 

     (b) If applicable, in the event the Company takes any action that would require any
antidilution adjustment to be made under the Preferred Stock Certificate of Designations as
if issued on the date of this Agreement, the Company shall make appropriate adjustments such
that Purchaser will receive the benefit of such transaction as if the Securities to be
purchased by Purchaser at the Closing had been outstanding as of the date of such action.

     (c) As soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall develop
an operating plan (the “Operating Plan”) and use its best efforts to cause such
plan, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser (such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld), to be approved by the Board of Directors as soon as reasonably
practicable thereafter; provided that, such approval by the Board of Directors shall occur
no later than the Closing. The Board of Directors may make such changes or modifications to
the Operating Plan that, in the exercise of its fiduciary duties upon advice of counsel, it
determines are necessary or in the best interests of the Company, provided that, no change
or modification shall be made without providing Purchaser with a reasonable opportunity for
consultation prior to any such change or modification.

     (d) The Company shall cooperate with the Purchaser and use its reasonable best efforts
to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action to implement the securities trading
platform contemplated in Schedule 3.1(a) of the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule and from the
date hereof and through the closing of any such transactions contemplated thereby, shall
comply with the terms and obligations set forth in such Section 3.1(a) (provided that no
such transaction shall be required to be implemented prior to Closing).

     3.4 Acquisition Proposals.

     (a) No Solicitation or Negotiation. The Company agrees that, except for the
TARP Transaction or as expressly permitted by this Section 3.4, neither it nor any of the
Subsidiaries nor any of the officers and directors of it or the Subsidiaries shall, and that
it shall use its best efforts to instruct and cause its and the Subsidiaries’ employees,
investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other advisors or representatives (such
directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other
advisors or representatives, collectively, “Representatives”) not to, directly or
indirectly:

     (1) initiate, solicit or encourage any inquiries or the making of any proposal
or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, any
Acquisition Proposal;

     (2) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or
negotiations regarding, or provide any non-public information or data to any person
relating to, any Acquisition Proposal; or

     (3) otherwise facilitate knowingly any effort or attempt to make an Acquisition
Proposal.

34

 

Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the Company may (A) provide
information in response to a request therefor by a person who has made an unsolicited bona
fide written Acquisition Proposal providing for the acquisition of more than 50% of the
assets (on a consolidated basis) or total voting power of the equity securities of the
Company if the Company receives from the person so requesting such information an executed
confidentiality agreement on terms not less restrictive to the other party than those
contained in the confidentiality agreement entered into by the Company and Purchaser on
November 18, 2008 and promptly discloses (and, if applicable, provides copies of) any such
information to Purchaser to the extent not previously provided to Purchaser; (B) engage or
participate in any discussions or negotiations with any person who has made such an
unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal; or (C) after having complied with
Section 3.4(c), approve, recommend, or otherwise declare advisable or propose to approve,
recommend or declare advisable (publicly or otherwise) such an Acquisition Proposal, if and
only to the extent that, (x) prior to taking any action described in clause (A), (B) or (C)
above, the Board of Directors determines in good faith after consultation with outside legal
counsel that such action is necessary in order for such directors to comply with the
directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable law, (y) in each such case referred to in
clause (A) or (B) above, the Board of Directors has determined in good faith based on the
information then available and after consultation with its financial advisor that such
Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or is reasonably likely to
result in a Superior Proposal, and (z) in the case referred to in clause (C) above, the
Board of Directors determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor
and outside legal counsel) that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal.

     (b) Definitions: For purposes of this Agreement:

     “Acquisition Proposal” means (i) any proposal or offer with respect to a
merger, joint venture, partnership, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, tender offer,
recapitalization, reorganization, rights offering, share exchange, business combination or
similar transaction involving the Company or any of the Subsidiaries and (ii) any
acquisition by any person resulting in, or proposal or offer, which, if consummated, would
result in any person becoming the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, in one or a
series of related transactions, of 15% or more of the total voting power of any class of
equity securities of the Company or those of any of the Subsidiaries, or 15% or more of the
consolidated total assets (including, without limitation, equity securities of its
Subsidiaries) of the Company, in each case other than the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, including, but not limited to, the TARP Transaction.

     “Superior Proposal” means an unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal that
would result in any person becoming the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, more than
50% of the assets (on a consolidated basis) or more than 50% of the total voting power of
the equity securities of the Company that the Board of Directors has determined in its good
faith judgment is reasonably likely to be consummated in accordance with its terms, taking
into account all legal, financial and regulatory aspects of the proposal and the person
making the proposal, and, if consummated, would result in a transaction more favorable to
the Company’s stockholders from a financial point of view than the

35

 

transaction contemplated by this Agreement (after taking into account any revisions to
the terms of the transaction contemplated by Section 3.4(c) of this Agreement pursuant to
Section 3.4(c) and the time likely to be required to consummate such Acquisition Proposal).

     (c) No Change in Recommendation or Alternative Acquisition Agreement. The
Board of Directors and each committee of the Board of Directors shall not:

     (1) withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify (or publicly propose or resolve to withhold,
withdraw, qualify or modify) the Company Recommendation in a manner adverse to Purchaser; or

     (2) except as expressly permitted by, and after compliance with, Section 5.1(g) hereof,
cause or permit the Company to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding,
agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement or other agreement (other
than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 3.4(a) entered into in compliance
with Section 3.4(a)) (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”) relating to any
Acquisition Proposal.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, prior to the earlier
of the time, but not after, the Closing or the date the Stockholder Proposals are approved,
the Board of Directors may withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify the Company Recommendation
or approve, recommend or otherwise declare advisable any Superior Proposal made after the
date of this Agreement that was not solicited, initiated, encouraged or knowingly
facilitated in breach of this Agreement, if the Board of Directors determines in good faith,
after consultation with outside counsel, that such action is necessary in order for such
directors to comply with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable law (a “Change
of Recommendation”); provided, however, that no Change of Recommendation may be made
until after at least three business days following Purchaser’s receipt of notice from the
Company advising that management of the Company currently intends to recommend to the Board
of Directors that it take such action and the basis therefor, including all necessary
information under Section 3.4(f). In determining whether to make a Change of Recommendation
in response to a Superior Proposal or otherwise, the Board of Directors shall take into
account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Purchaser and any other
information provided by Purchaser in response to such notice. Any material amendment to any
Acquisition Proposal will be deemed to be a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of this
Section 3.4(c), including with respect to the notice period referred to in this
Section 3.4(c).

     (d) Certain Permitted Disclosure. Nothing contained in this Section 3.4 shall
be deemed to prohibit the Company from complying with its disclosure obligations under U.S.
federal or state law with regard to an Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that if such
disclosure does not reaffirm the Company Recommendation or has the substantive effect of
withdrawing or adversely modifying the Company Recommendation, such disclosure shall be
deemed to be a Change in Recommendation and Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement as set forth in Section 5.1(h).

36

 

     (e) Existing Discussions. The Company agrees that it will immediately cease
and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any
parties conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. The Company agrees
that it will take the necessary steps to promptly inform the individuals or entities
referred to in the first sentence hereof of the obligations undertaken in this Section 3.4.
The Company also agrees that it will promptly request each person that has heretofore
executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with its consideration of acquiring it or
any of the Subsidiaries to return or destroy all confidential information heretofore
furnished to such person by or on behalf of it or any of the Subsidiaries.

     (f) Notice. The Company agrees that it will promptly (and, in any event,
within 24 hours) notify Purchaser if any inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to an
Acquisition Proposal are received by, any such information is requested from, or any such
discussions or negotiation are sought to be initiated or continued with, it or any of its
Representatives indicating, in connection with such notice, the name of such person and the
material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers (including, if applicable, copies
of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements) and thereafter
shall keep Purchaser informed, on a current basis, of the status and terms of any such
proposals or offers (including any amendments thereto) and the status of any such
discussions or negotiations, including any change in the Company’s intentions as previously
notified.

ARTICLE IV

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

     4.1 Governance Matters. (a) At and following the Closing, the Company will
cause such number of persons nominated by Purchaser as will represent the Purchaser’s pro
rata share of the total number of members of the Board of Directors (each a “Board
Representative” and collectively, the “Board Representatives”) to be elected and
appointed to the Board of Directors, subject to satisfaction of all legal and governance
requirements regarding service as a director of the Company and to the reasonable approval
of the Company’s Nominating and Board of Directors Governance Committee (“Governance
Committee”) (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). For purposes of
this Section 4.1, “pro rata share” shall mean that fraction where the numerator is all
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Purchaser, assuming full conversion of the
Convertible Preferred Stock and assuming sufficient Common Stock is authorized under the
Certificate of Incorporation to allow such conversion and the denominator is the total
number of issued shares of Common Stock (other than treasury shares) plus the number of
shares of Common Stock into which the Convertible Preferred Stock may be converted. After
such appointment, so long as Purchaser holds at least 10% of the voting power in the Company
(including for this purpose votes in respect of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock acquired pursuant to this Agreement) acquired
by Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (as adjusted
from time to time for any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock
dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or other like changes in the Company’s
capitalization), the Company will be

37

 

required to recommend to its stockholders the election of the Board Representatives at
the Company’s annual meeting, subject to satisfaction of all legal and governance
requirements regarding service as a director of the Company and to the reasonable approval
of the Governance Committee (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to
the Board of Directors. Purchaser shall also be entitled to appoint two observers to the
Board of Directors (the “Board Observers”), which Board Observers are reasonably
acceptable to the Board of Directors. The Board Observers shall be entitled to participate
fully in all meetings of the Board of Directors, but shall not have the authority to vote
thereat. If Purchaser no longer holds the minimum percentage of voting power specified in
the prior sentence, Purchaser will have no further rights under Sections 4.1(a) through
4.1(c) and, at the written request of the Board of Directors, shall use all reasonable best
efforts to cause its Board Representatives to resign from the Board of Directors and the
Board Observers to resign as promptly as possible thereafter. At the option of the Board
Representatives, the Board of Directors shall cause the Board Representatives to be
appointed to the Governance Committee of the Board of Directors (or any successor committee
thereto), so long as the Board Representatives qualify to serve on such Governance Committee
under the applicable rules of the NYSE or any other nationally recognized securities
exchange on which the Common Stock may be listed and the Company’s corporate governance
guidelines and the charter of such Governance Committee.

     (b) The Board Representatives (including any successor nominee) duly selected in
accordance with Section 4.1(a) shall, subject to applicable law, be the Company’s and the
Governance Committee’s nominees to serve on the Board of Directors. The Company shall use
its reasonable best efforts to have the Board Representatives elected as a director of the
Company and the Company shall solicit proxies for each such person to the same extent as it
does for any of its other nominees to the Board of Directors. If applicable law or the NYSE
rules and regulations prevent any Board Representative from serving on a committee, the
Purchaser shall be entitled to appoint a Board Observer to such committee, so long as any
such Board Observer meets any applicable independence rules of the NYSE.

     (c) Subject to Section 4.1(a), Purchaser shall have the power to designate each Board
Representative’s replacement upon the death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or
removal from office of such director, subject to satisfaction of all legal and governance
requirements regarding service as a director of the Company and to the reasonable approval
of the Governance Committee (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The
Board of Directors will promptly take all action reasonably required to fill the vacancy
resulting therefrom with such person (including such person, subject to applicable law,
being the Company’s and the Governance Committee’s nominee to serve on the Board of
Directors, using all reasonable best efforts to have such person elected as director of the
Company and the Company soliciting proxies for such person to the same extent as it does for
any of its other nominees to the Board of Directors).

     (d) The Board Representatives shall be entitled to the same compensation and same
indemnification and insurance coverage in connection with his or her role as a

38

 

director as the other members of the Board of Directors, and each Board Representative
shall be entitled to reimbursement for documented, reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in attending meetings of the Board of Directors or any committees thereof, to the
same extent as the other members of the Board of Directors. The Company shall notify the
Board Representatives of all regular and special meetings of the Board of Directors and
shall notify the Board Representatives of all regular and special meetings of any committee
of the Board of Directors of which each Board Representative is a member. The Company shall
provide the Board Representatives with copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other
materials provided to all other members of the Board of Directors concurrently as such
materials are provided to the other members.

     (e)    Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, the Company will take all
steps necessary to amend (including recommending and submitting for stockholder approval in
accordance with Section 3.1(a)) its organizational documents (including, without limitation,
the Certificate of Incorporation, its bylaws, its corporate governance guidelines and the
charters of relevant committees of the Board of Directors) in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Purchaser, to effectuate, to the extent required, the purpose and intent of,
and the matters contemplated by, this Section 4.1 (including, without limitation, removal of
classified Board of Directors provisions).

     (f) For so long as Purchaser holds the Securities purchased pursuant to this Agreement,
the Company shall provide or permit the Board Observer to provide to Purchaser any
Information provided to the Board of Directors, including any materials presented at any
ordinary or special meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof, and
Purchaser agrees to hold, and will cause its respective Affiliates and its and their
directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors and any prospective
participant in a sale or disposition of the Purchased Shares to hold, such Information in
strict confidence for three years from the receipt of such Information, unless disclosure to
a regulatory authority is necessary or appropriate in connection with any necessary
regulatory approval or unless disclosure is required by judicial or administrative process
or, in the written opinion of its counsel, by other requirement of law or the applicable
requirements of any regulatory agency or relevant stock exchange and except to the extent
that such Information can be shown to have been (1) previously known by such party on a
non-confidential basis, (2) in the public domain through no fault of such party or (3) later
lawfully acquired from other sources by the party to which it was furnished). In addition,
Purchaser agrees not to release or disclose such Information to any other person, except its
auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, other consultants and advisors and any prospective
participant in a sale or disposition of the Purchased Shares.

     4.2 Legend. (a) Purchaser agrees that all certificates or other instruments
representing the Securities subject to this Agreement will bear a legend substantially to the
following effect:

     (1) THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND
MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT

39

 

WHILE A REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING THERETO IS IN EFFECT UNDER SUCH ACT AND
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER
SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS.

     (2) THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO TRANSFER AND
OTHER RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN AN INVESTMENT AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF DECEMBER 17,
2008, COPIES OF WHICH ARE ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE ISSUER.

     (b) Upon request of Purchaser, upon receipt by the Company of an opinion of counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such legend is no longer required
under the Securities Act and applicable state laws, the Company shall promptly cause clause
(1) of the legend to be removed from any certificate for any Securities to be Transferred in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and clause (2) of the legend shall be removed
upon the expiration of such transfer and other restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

     4.3 Reservation for Issuance. The Company will reserve that number of shares of
Common Stock sufficient for issuance upon exercise or conversion of the Securities without regard
to any limitation on such conversion; provided that in the case of the Convertible Preferred Stock,
solely to the extent the Company is unable to reserve such number of shares under its charter the
Company will reserve such sufficient number of shares of Common Stock following the approval of the
Stockholder Proposals pursuant to Section 3.1(b).

     4.4 Certain Transactions. The Company will not merge or consolidate into, or sell,
transfer or lease all or substantially all of its property or assets to, any other party unless the
issuer constituent corporation, successor, transferee or lessee party, as the case may be (if not
the Company), expressly assumes the due and punctual performance and observance of each and every
covenant and condition of this Agreement to be performed and observed by the Company.

     4.5 Indemnity. (a) Following the Closing, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, partners,
members and employees, and each person who controls Purchaser within the meaning of the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, to the fullest extent lawful, from and
against any and all actions, suits, claims, proceedings, costs, losses, liabilities, damages,
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), amounts paid in settlement and
other costs (in each case calculated to take into account Purchaser’s ownership interest in the
Company as of the relevant payment date – i.e., increased to take into account Purchaser’s
ownership interest in the capital of the Company as of such date) (collectively, “Losses”)
arising out of or resulting from (1) any inaccuracy in or breach of the Company’s representations
or warranties in this Agreement or (2) the Company’s breach of agreements or covenants made by the
Company in this Agreement or (3) any action, suit, claim, proceeding or investigation by any
Governmental Entity, stockholder of the Company or any other person (other than the Company)
relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (other than any Losses
attributable to the acts, errors or omissions on the part of Purchaser, but

40

 

not including the transactions contemplated hereby); and the Company agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless the Purchaser from and against any Losses with respect to Taxes of the Company for
taxable periods or portions thereof ending on or prior to the Closing Date.

     (b) Following the Closing, Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the
Company and its Affiliates and each of their officers, directors, partners, members and
employees, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Exchange Act
and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, to the fullest extent lawful, from and
against any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from (1) any inaccuracy in or breach
of Purchaser’s representations or warranties in this Agreement or (2) Purchaser’s breach of
agreements or covenants made by Purchaser in this Agreement.

     (c) A party entitled to indemnification hereunder (each, an “Indemnified
Party”) shall give written notice to the party indemnifying it (the “Indemnifying
Party”) of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification promptly after the
discovery by such Indemnified Party of any matters giving rise to a claim for
indemnification; provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as
provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this
Section 4.5 unless and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually
prejudiced by the failure of such Indemnified Party to so notify such party. Such notice
shall describe in reasonable detail such claim. In case any such action, suit, claim or
proceeding is brought against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled
to hire, at its own expense, separate counsel and participate in the defense thereof;
provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and conduct the
defense thereof, unless the counsel to the Indemnified Party advises such Indemnifying Party
in writing that such claim involves a conflict of interest (other than one of a monetary
nature) that would reasonably be expected to make it inappropriate for the same counsel to
represent both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, in which case the
Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the cost and expense of the
Indemnifying Party (except that the Indemnifying Party shall only be liable for the legal
fees and expenses of one law firm for all Indemnified Parties, taken together with respect
to any single action or group of related actions). If the Indemnifying Party assumes the
defense of any claim, all Indemnified Parties shall thereafter deliver to the Indemnifying
Party copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the
Indemnified Party relating to the claim, and each Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the
defense or prosecution of such claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and
(upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records
and information that are reasonably relevant to such claim, and making employees available
on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any
material provided hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement
of any action, suit, claim or proceeding effected without its written consent; provided,
however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent.
The Indemnifying Party further agrees that it will not, without the Indemnified Party’s
prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), settle or
compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof in any pending
or threatened action, suit, claim or proceeding in respect of which indemnification has been
sought hereunder unless such settlement or

41

 

compromise includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all
liability arising out of such action, suit, claim or proceeding.

     (d) For purposes of the indemnity contained in Section 4.5(a)(1) and Section 4.5(b)(1),
all qualifications and limitations set forth in the parties’ representations and warranties
(other than Section 2.2(j)(3)) as to “materiality” and words of similar import, shall be
disregarded in determining whether there shall have been any inaccuracy in or breach of any
representations and warranties in this Agreement; provided that no inaccuracy in or breach
of the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.2(v) shall be deemed to occur
if such representations and warranties are true and correct in all material respects.

     (e) The Company shall not be required to indemnify the Indemnified Parties affiliated
with (or whose claims are permitted by virtue of their relationship with) Purchaser pursuant
to Section 4.5(a)(1) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred with
respect to all claims pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(1) exceed $1,500,000 (the “Threshold
Amount”), in which event the Company shall indemnify the Indemnified Parties pursuant to
Section 4.5(a)(1) the full amount of such Losses (not merely the portion of such Losses
exceeding the Threshold Amount). Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify the
Indemnified Parties affiliated with (or whose claims are permitted by virtue of their
relationship with) the Company pursuant to Section 4.5(b)(1) unless and until the aggregate
amount of all Losses incurred with respect to all claims pursuant to Section 4.5(b)(1)
exceed the Threshold Amount, in which event Purchaser shall indemnify the Company pursuant
to Section 4.5(b)(1) the full amount of such Losses (not merely the portion of such Losses
exceeding the Threshold Amount). The cumulative indemnification obligation of (1) the
Company to Purchaser and all of the Indemnified Parties affiliated with (or whose claims are
permitted by virtue of their relationship with) Purchaser or (2) Purchaser to the Company
and the Indemnified Parties affiliated with (or whose claims are permitted by virtue of
their relationship with) the Company, in each case for inaccuracies in or breaches of
representations and warranties, shall in no event exceed the Purchase Price.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnification by the Company of the Purchaser for
Losses with respect to Taxes shall not be subject to the limitations of this Section 4.5(e).

     (f) Any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 4.5 for breach of any
representation or warranty can only be brought on or prior to the second anniversary of the
Closing Date; provided that if notice of a claim for indemnification pursuant to this
Section 4.5 for breach of any representation or warranty is brought prior to the end of such
period, then the obligation to indemnify in respect of such breach shall survive as to such
claim, until such claim has been finally resolved. Any claim for indemnification pursuant to
this Section 4.5 for Losses with respect to Taxes can only be brought on or before the
thirtieth (30) day following the expiration of the applicable statute of
limitations.

     (g) The indemnity provided for in this Section 4.5 shall be the sole and exclusive
monetary remedy of Indemnified Parties after the Closing for any inaccuracy of any
representation or warranty or any other breach of any covenant or agreement

42

 

contained in this Agreement; provided that nothing herein shall limit in any way any
such party’s remedies in respect of fraud by any other party in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby. No party to this Agreement (or any of its Affiliates)
shall, in any event, be liable or otherwise responsible to any other party (or any of its
Affiliates) for any consequential or punitive damages of such other party (or any of its
Affiliates) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the performance or breach
hereof.

     (h) No investigation of the Company by Purchaser, or by the Company of Purchaser,
whether prior to or after the date hereof, shall limit any Indemnified Party’s exercise of
any right hereunder or be deemed to be a waiver of any such right.

     (i) Any indemnification payments pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall be treated as an
adjustment to the Purchase Price for the Securities for U.S. federal income and applicable
state and local Tax purposes, unless a different treatment is required by applicable law.

     4.6 Exchange Listing. The Company shall promptly use its reasonable best efforts to
cause the shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the conversion of the Convertible
Preferred Stock to be approved for listing on the NYSE or such other nationally recognized
securities exchange on which the Common Stock may be listed, subject to official notice of issuance
and upon receipt of the approval by the Company’s stockholders of the Stockholder Proposals, as
promptly as practicable, and in any event before the Closing if permitted by the rules of the NYSE.

     4.7 Registration Rights.

          (a) Registration.

     (1) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company
covenants and agrees that no later than the date that is six months after the
Closing Date, the Company shall have prepared and filed with the SEC a Shelf
Registration Statement covering all Registrable Securities (or otherwise designate
an existing Shelf Registration Statement filed with the SEC to cover the Registrable
Securities), and, to the extent the Shelf Registration Statement has not theretofore
been declared effective or is not automatically effective upon such filing, the
Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement
to be declared or become effective and to keep such Shelf Registration Statement
continuously effective and in compliance with the Securities Act and usable for
resale of such Registrable Securities for a period from the date of its initial
effectiveness until such time as there are no Registrable Securities remaining
(including by refiling such Shelf Registration Statement (or a new Shelf
Registration Statement) if the initial Shelf Registration Statement expires). So
long as the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under
the Securities Act) at the time of filing of the Shelf Registration Statement with
the SEC, such Shelf Registration Statement shall be designated by the Company as an
automatic Shelf Registration Statement.

43

 

     (2) Any registration pursuant to this Section 4.7(a) shall be effected by means
of a shelf registration under the Securities Act (a “Shelf Registration
Statement”) in accordance with the methods and distribution set forth in the
Shelf Registration Statement and Rule 415. If Purchaser or any other holder of
Registrable Securities to whom the registration rights conferred by this Agreement
have been transferred in compliance with this Agreement intends to distribute any
Registrable Securities by means of an underwritten offering (a “Registration
Demand”) it shall promptly so advise the Company and the Company shall take all
reasonable steps to facilitate such distribution, including the actions required
pursuant to Section 4.7(c), provided that Purchaser and any other Holder will be
entitled to initiate no more than three such Registration Demands, and the Company
will not be obligated to facilitate an underwritten offering of Registrable
Securities unless the expected gross proceeds from such offering exceed $50,000,000.
The lead underwriters in any such distribution shall be selected by the holders of
a majority of the Registrable Securities to be distributed.

     (3) The Company shall not be required to effect a registration (including a
resale of Registrable Securities from an effective Shelf Registration Statement)
pursuant to this Section 4.7(a): (i) with respect to securities that are not
Registrable Securities; (ii) during any Scheduled Black-out Period or (iii) if the
Company has notified Purchaser that in the good faith judgment of the Board of
Directors, it would be materially detrimental to the Company or its securityholders
for such registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall
have the right to defer such registration for a period of not more than 90 days
after receipt of the request of Purchaser; provided that such right to delay a
registration shall be exercised by the Company (A) only if the Company has generally
exercised (or is concurrently exercising) similar black-out rights against holders
of similar securities that have registration rights and (B) not more than twice in
any 12-month period and not more than 90 days in the aggregate in any 12-month
period.

     (4) Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its securities, other than
a registration pursuant to Section 4.7(a)(1) or a Special Registration, and the
registration form to be filed may be used for the registration or qualification for
distribution of Registrable Securities, the Company will give prompt written notice
to Purchaser and all other Holders of its intention to effect such a registration
(but in no event less than ten days prior to the anticipated filing date) and will
include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the
Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within ten business days
after the date of the Company’s notice (a “Piggyback Registration”). Any
such person that has made such a written request may withdraw its Registrable
Securities from such Piggyback Registration by giving written notice to the Company
and the managing underwriter, if any, on or before the fifth business day prior to
the planned effective date of such Piggyback Registration. The Company may terminate
or withdraw any registration under this Section 4.7(a)(4) prior to the effectiveness
of such registration, whether or not

44

 

Purchaser or any other Holders have elected to include Registrable Securities
in such registration.

     (5) If the registration referred to in Section 4.7(a)(4) is proposed to be
underwritten, the Company will so advise Purchaser and all other Holders as a part
of the written notice given pursuant to Section 4.7(a)(4). In such event, the right
of Purchaser and all other Holders to registration pursuant to this Section 4.7(a)
will be conditioned upon such persons’ participation in such underwriting and the
inclusion of such person’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting, and each such
person will (together with the Company and the other persons distributing their
securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in
customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting
by the Company. If any participating person disapproves of the terms of the
underwriting, such person may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the
Company, the managing underwriter and Purchaser.

     (6) If a Piggyback Registration relates to an underwritten primary offering on
behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company that in
their reasonable opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such
registration exceeds the number which can be sold without adversely affecting the
marketability of such offering (including an adverse effect on the per share
offering price), the Company will include in such registration or prospectus only
such number of securities that in the reasonable opinion of such underwriters can be
sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering (including an
adverse effect on the per share offering price), which securities will be so
included in the following order of priority subject to any conflicting terms of the
TARP Documents: (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second,
Registrable Securities of Purchaser and all other Holders who have requested
registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 4.7(a)(4), pro rata on
the basis of the aggregate number of such securities or shares owned by each such
person and (iii) third, any other securities of the Company that have been requested
to be so included, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

     (b) Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection
with any registration, qualification or compliance hereunder shall be borne by the Company.
All Selling Expenses incurred in connection with any registrations hereunder, shall be borne
by the holders of the securities so registered pro rata on the basis of the aggregate
offering or sale price of the securities so registered.

     (c) Obligations of the Company. The Company shall use its reasonable best
efforts for so long as there are Registrable Securities outstanding, to take such actions as
are under its control to not become an ineligible issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the
Securities Act). In addition, whenever required to effect the registration of any
Registrable Securities or facilitate the distribution of Registrable Securities pursuant to
an effective Registration Statement, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably
practicable:

45

 

     (1) Prepare and file with the SEC a prospectus supplement with respect to a
proposed offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to an effective registration
statement, subject to Section 4.7(c), keep such registration statement effective or
such prospectus supplement current.

     (2) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the
applicable registration statement and the prospectus or prospectus supplement used
in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with
the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
securities covered by such registration statement.

     (3) Furnish to the Holders and any underwriters such number of copies of the
applicable registration statement and each such amendment and supplement thereto
(including in each case all exhibits) and of a prospectus, including a preliminary
prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such
other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the
disposition of Registrable Securities owned or to be distributed by them.

     (4) Use its reasonable best efforts to register and qualify the securities
covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws
of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders or any
managing underwriter(s), to keep such registration or qualification in effect for so
long as such registration statement remains in effect, and to take any other action
which may be reasonably necessary to enable such seller to consummate the
disposition in such jurisdictions of the securities owned by such Holder; provided
that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition
thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process
in any such states or jurisdictions.

     (5) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities at any time when a prospectus
relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the
happening of any event as a result of which the applicable prospectus, as then in
effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits 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.

     (6) Give written notice to the Holders:

     (A) when any registration statement filed pursuant to Section 4.7(a) or
any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when such registration
statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

     (B) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any
registration statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional
information;

46

 

     (C) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of any registration statement or the initiation of any
proceedings for that purpose;

     (D) of the receipt by the Company or its legal counsel of any
notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the
Common Stock for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening
of any proceeding for such purpose;

     (E) of the happening of any event that requires the Company to make
changes in any effective registration statement or the prospectus related to
the registration statement in order to make the statements therein not
misleading (which notice shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend
the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes have been made); and

     (F) if at any time the representations and warranties of the Company
contained in any underwriting agreement contemplated by Section 4.7(c)(10)
cease to be true and correct.

     (7) Use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance or obtain the
withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement
referred to in Section 4.7(c)(6)(C) at the earliest practicable time.

     (8) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 4.7(c)(5) or
4.7(c)(6)(E), promptly prepare a post-effective amendment to such registration
statement or a supplement to the related prospectus or file any other required
document so that, as thereafter delivered to the Holders and any underwriters, the
prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies
the Holders in accordance with Section 4.7(c)(6)(E) to suspend the use of the
prospectus until the requisite changes to the prospectus have been made, then the
Holders and any underwriters shall suspend use of such prospectus and use their
reasonable best efforts to return to the Company all copies of such prospectus (at
the Company’s expense) other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s or
underwriter’s possession. The total number of days that any such suspension may be
in effect in any 12-month period shall not exceed 90 days.

     (9) Use reasonable best efforts to procure the cooperation of the Company’s
transfer agent in settling any offering or sale of Registrable Securities, including
with respect to the transfer of physical stock certificates into book-entry form in
accordance with any procedures reasonably requested by the Holders or any managing
underwriter(s).

47

 

     (10) Enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form, scope and
substance and take all such other actions reasonably requested by the Holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities being sold in connection therewith or by the
managing underwriter(s), if any, to expedite or facilitate the underwritten
disposition of such Registrable Securities, and in connection therewith in any
underwritten offering (including making members of management and executives of the
Company available to participate in “road show”, similar sales events and other
marketing activities), (i) make such representations and warranties to the Holders
that are selling stockholders and the managing underwriter(s), if any, with respect
to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the Shelf Registration
Statement, prospectus and documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated by reference therein, in each case, in customary form, substance and
scope, and, if true, confirm the same if and when requested, (ii) use its reasonable
best efforts to furnish underwriters opinions of counsel to the Company, addressed
to the managing underwriter(s), if any, covering the matters customarily covered in
such opinions requested in underwritten offerings, (iii) use its reasonable best
efforts to obtain “cold comfort” letters from the independent certified public
accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, any other independent certified
public accountants of any business acquired by the Company for which financial
statements and financial data are included in the Registration Statement) who have
certified the financial statements included in such Registration Statement,
addressed to each of the managing underwriter(s), if any, such letters to be in
customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “cold
comfort” letters, (iv) if an underwriting agreement is entered into, the same shall
contain indemnification provisions and procedures customary in underwritten
offerings, and (v) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably
requested by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold in
connection therewith, their counsel and the managing underwriter(s), if any, to
evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties made pursuant
to clause (i) above and to evidence compliance with any customary conditions
contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the
Company. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company
shall not be required to enter into any underwriting agreement or permit any
underwritten offering absent an agreement by the applicable underwriter(s) to
indemnify the Company in form, scope and substance as is customary in underwritten
offerings by the Company in which an affiliate of the Company acts as an
underwriter.

     (11) Make available for inspection by a representative of Holders that are
selling stockholders, the managing underwriter(s), if any, and any attorneys or
accountants retained by such Holders or managing underwriter(s), at the offices
where normally kept, during reasonable business hours, financial and other records,
pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the officers,
directors and employees of the Company to supply all information in each case
reasonably requested by any such representative, managing underwriter(s), attorney
or accountant in connection with such Registration Statement.

48

 

     (12) Cause all such Registrable Securities (other than Convertible Preferred
Stock) to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued
by the Company are then listed or, if no similar securities issued by the Company
are then listed on any securities exchange, use its reasonable best efforts to cause
all such Registrable Securities (other than Convertible Preferred Stock) to be
listed on the NYSE or the NASDAQ Stock Market, as determined by the Company.

     (13) If requested by Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being
registered and/or sold in connection therewith, or the managing underwriter(s), if
any, promptly include in a prospectus supplement or amendment such information as
the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being registered and/or sold
in connection therewith or managing underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request
in order to permit the intended method of distribution of such securities and make
all required filings of such prospectus supplement or such amendment as soon as
practicable after the Company has received such request.

     (14) Timely provide to its security holders earning statements satisfying the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder.

     (d) Suspension of Sales. During any Scheduled Black-out Period and upon
receipt of written notice from the Company that a registration statement, prospectus or
prospectus supplement contains or may contain an untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading or that circumstances exist that make inadvisable use of
such registration statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement, Purchaser and each Holder
of Registrable Securities shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities
until termination of such Scheduled Black-Out Period or until Purchaser and/or Holder has
received copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus or prospectus supplement, or until
such Holder is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus and, if
applicable, prospectus supplement may be resumed, and, if so directed by the Company, such
Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than
permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the prospectus and, if
applicable, prospectus supplement covering such Registrable Securities current at the time
of receipt of such notice. The total number of days that any such suspension may be in
effect in any 12-month period shall not exceed 90 days.

     (e) Termination of Registration Rights. A Holder’s registration rights as to
any securities held by such Holder (and its Affiliates, partners, members and former
members) shall not be available unless such securities are Registrable Securities.

     (f) Furnishing Information.

     (1) Neither Purchaser nor any Holder shall use any free writing prospectus (as
defined in Rule 405) in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities without
the prior written consent of the Company.

49

 

     (2) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take
any action pursuant to Section 4.7(c) that Purchaser and/or the selling Holders and
the underwriters, if any, shall furnish to the Company such information regarding
themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them and the intended method of
disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registered
offering of their Registrable Securities.

     (g) Indemnification.

     (1) The Company agrees to indemnify each Holder and, if a Holder is a person
other than an individual, such Holder’s officers, directors, employees, agents,
representatives and Affiliates, and each person, if any, that controls a Holder
within the meaning of the Securities Act (each, an “Indemnitee”), against
any and all losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of
attorneys and other professionals incurred in connection with investigating,
defending, settling, compromising or paying any such losses, claims, damages,
actions, liabilities, costs and expenses), joint or several, arising out of or based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in
any registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus
contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto or any documents
incorporated therein by reference or contained in any free writing prospectus (as
such term is defined in Rule 405) prepared by the Company or authorized by it in
writing for use by such Holder (or any amendment or supplement thereto); or any
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading; provided, that the Company shall not be liable to such
Indemnitee in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage,
liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or
is based upon (i) an untrue statement or omission made in such registration
statement, including any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein or any such amendments or supplements thereto or contained in any free
writing prospectus (as such term is defined in Rule 405) prepared by the Company or
authorized by it in writing for use by such Holder (or any amendment or supplement
thereto), in reliance upon and in conformity with information regarding such
Indemnitee or its plan of distribution or ownership interests which was furnished in
writing to the Company by such Indemnitee for use in connection with such
registration statement, including any such preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus contained therein or any such amendments or supplements thereto, or (ii)
offers or sales effected by or on behalf, such Indemnitee “by means of” (as defined
in Rule 159A) a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405) that was not
authorized in writing by the Company.

     (2) If the indemnification provided for in Section 4.7(g)(1) is unavailable to
an Indemnitee with respect to any losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities,
costs or expenses referred to therein or is insufficient to hold the Indemnitee
harmless as contemplated therein, then the Company, in lieu of

50

 

indemnifying such Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such Indemnitee as a result of such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities,
costs or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault
of the Indemnitee, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, in
connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims,
damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and
of the Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among
other factors, whether the untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state
a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Indemnitee
and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity
to correct or prevent such statement or omission; the Company and each Holder agree
that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section
4.7(g)(2) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of
allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in
this Section 4.7(g)(2). No Indemnitee guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from the Company if the Company was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.

     (h) Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights of Purchaser to registration
of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 4.7(a) may be assigned by Purchaser to a
transferee or assignee of Registrable Securities to which (i) there is transferred to such
transferee no less than $50,000,000 in Registrable Securities and (ii) such Transfer is
permitted under the terms hereof; provided, however, the transferor shall, within ten days
after such transfer, furnish to the Company written notice of the name and address of such
transferee or assignee and the number and type of Registrable Securities that are being
assigned.

     (i) “Market Stand-Off” Agreement; Agreement to Furnish Information. Purchaser
and each Holder hereby agrees:

     (1) that Purchaser shall not sell, transfer, make any short sale of, grant any
option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with
the same economic effect as a sale with respect to any common equity securities of
the Company or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for
any common equity securities of the Company held by Purchaser (other than those
included in the registration) for a period specified by the representatives of the
underwriters of the common equity or equity-related securities not to exceed ten
days prior and 90 days following the effective date of any firm commitment
underwritten registered sale of common equity securities of the Company or any
securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any common equity
securities of the Company by the Company for the Company’s own account in which the
Company gave Purchaser an opportunity to participate in accordance with Sections
4.7(a)(4) through 4.7(a)(6); provided that all executive officers and directors of
the Company enter into similar agreements and only if such persons remain subject
thereto (and are not released from such

51

 

agreement) for such period; provided that nothing herein will prevent Purchaser
from making any distribution of Registrable Securities to the partners or
stockholders thereof or a transfer to an Affiliate that is otherwise in compliance
with applicable securities laws, so long as such distributees or transferees agree
to be bound by the restrictions set forth in this Section 4.7(i);

     (2) to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested
by the Company or the representatives of the underwriters which are consistent with
the foregoing obligation in Section 4.7(i)(1) or which are necessary to give further
effect thereto; and

     (3) if requested by the Company or the representative of the underwriters of
Common Stock (or other securities of the Company), Purchaser shall provide, within
ten days of such request, such information as may be required by the Company or such
representative in connection with the completion of any public offering of the
Company’s securities pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities
Act in which Purchaser participates;

provided, that clauses (1) and (2) of this Section 4.7(i) shall not apply to Purchaser or
any Holder that, together with its affiliates, is the beneficial owner of less than 5% of
the outstanding Common Stock.

     (j) With respect to any underwritten offering of Registrable Securities by Purchaser or
other Holders pursuant to this Section 4.7, the Company agrees not to effect (other than
pursuant to such registration or pursuant to a Special Registration) any public sale or
distribution, or to file any Registration Statement (other than such registration or a
Special Registration) covering any of its equity securities, or any securities convertible
into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the period not to exceed ten
days prior and 90 days following the effective date of such offering, if requested by the
managing underwriter. “Special Registration” means the registration of (i) equity
securities and/or options or other rights in respect thereof solely registered on Form S-4
or Form S-8 (or successor form) or (ii) shares of equity securities and/or options or other
rights in respect thereof to be offered to directors, members of management, employees,
consultants, customers, lenders or vendors of the Company or its direct or indirect
Subsidiaries or in connection with dividend reinvestment plans.

     (k) Rule 144; Rule 144A. With a view to making available to Purchaser and
Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale
of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use
its reasonable best efforts to:

     (1) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood
and defined in Rule 144(c)(1) or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the
Securities Act, at all times after the effective date of this Agreement;

52

 

     (2) (A) file with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents
required of the Company under the Exchange Act and (B) if at any time the Company is
not required to file such reports, make available, upon request of any Holder, such
information necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144A (including the
information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act);

     (3) so long as Purchaser or a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish
to Purchaser or such Holder forthwith upon request: a written statement by the
Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act; a copy of the most recent annual or
quarterly report of the Company; and such other reports and documents as Purchaser
or Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of
the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities without registration; and

     (4) take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the
extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable
Securities without registration under the Securities Act.

Securities will not be Registrable Securities when (i) they are sold pursuant to an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (ii) they may be sold
pursuant to Rule 144 without limitation thereunder on volume or manner of sale,
(iii) they shall have ceased to be outstanding or (iv) they have

53

 

been sold in a private transaction in which the transferor’s rights under this
Agreement are not assigned to the transferee of the securities. No Registrable
Securities may be registered under more than one registration statement at any one
time.

     (5) “Registration Expenses” means all expenses incurred by the Company
in effecting any registration pursuant to this Agreement (whether or not any
registration or prospectus becomes effective or final) or otherwise complying with
its obligations under this Section 4.7, including, without limitation, all
registration, filing and listing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of
counsel for the Company, blue sky fees and expenses, expenses incurred in connection
with any “road show”, the reasonable fees and disbursements of Holders’ Counsel, and

special reviews or audits incident to or required by any such registration, but

during such period.

     (8) “Selling Expenses” mean all discounts, selling commissions and
stock transfer taxes applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities and fees and

its rights set forth in this Section 4.7 from that date forward; provided, that a Holder
forfeiting such rights shall nonetheless (i) be obligated under Section 4.7(i)(1) with
respect to any Pending Underwritten Offering to the same extent that such Holder would have
been obligated if the holder had not withdrawn and (ii) be entitled to participate under
Sections 4.7(a)(4)–(6) in any Pending Underwritten Offering to the same extent that such

Incorporation shall be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years after the
Closing Date in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any individuals
covered thereby (the “Covered Persons”). From and after the Closing Date, any
determination to be made pursuant to Article XI of the Certificate of Incorporation by the Board of
Directors with respect to the advancement of expenses shall be made without the participation of
any Board Representative. If the Board of Directors makes a determination that the facts then
known to the Board of Directors would not preclude indemnification under the Michigan Business
Corporation Act, and the Covered Person has complied with the requirements of clauses (a) and (b)
of the second sentence of Article XI of the Certificate of Incorporation, then the Company shall be
required to advance such expenses to such Covered Person to the fullest extent permitted by the

(iii) Purchaser does not make, within three business days of receipt of the Company’s
written notification of its intention to enter into a binding agreement for a Superior

Schedule E

     The following is a summary Term Sheet of the material terms of the equity awards that will be
applicable to certain senior executives of the Company, subject to (i) all requisite approvals of
the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, and (ii) the occurrence of the
Closing. Following the date hereof, the parties shall promptly and in good faith negotiate the
definitive terms and documents on customary terms, including with respect to antidilution, and
consistent with the terms below and reasonably acceptable to the parties.

	 	 	 
	PLAN

	 	Equity for 14.5% of the total shares of
Company common stock will be granted
under the Company’s
stockholder-approved Flagstar Bancorp,
Inc. 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (as
amended, the “Plan”). The executives
to receive grants below have agreed to
waive their current outstanding equity
grants, with the exception of
restricted stock grants that have been
issued but not yet vested.
	 
	 	 
	TYPE OF AWARDS

	 	Stock options and restricted shares
will be granted in three tranches.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	The first tranch of awards will be
time-vested stock options, which will
be granted to the following executives
at the Closing, as further described
herein. The executives receiving the
first tranch will be determined prior
to Closing.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	The second tranch of awards will be a
performance-vested stock option pool,
which will be granted subject to
performance criteria and allocation, as
further described herein.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	The third tranch of awards will be
restricted shares, which will be
granted to the first tranch executives
at the time the Purchaser disposes of a
majority of the aggregate amount of
Company shares that it acquired at the
Closing (an “MP Sale”).

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	TIME VESTED STOCK OPTIONS TERMS	 	 	Time and Amount of Grants:
	 

	 	 	 	•
	 	The first tranch will be
options to acquire shares of Company
common stock equal to up to 3% of the
total shares of Company common stock on
the date of

Schedule E-1 

 

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	 	 	grant (the “Time Vested
Stock Options”). The Time Vested Stock
Options will have a term that expires
10 years after the date of grant.
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	•	 	The allocation among the
executives of the Time Vested Stock
Options will be determined before
Closing.
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	•
	 	In the event that there is not
a sufficient number of shares available
for issuance under the Plan to allow
for the award of the full 3% of the
Time Vested Stock Options on the
Closing, the proposed amendments to the
Plan as part of the Stockholder
Proposals will provide adequate
availability to increase the amount of
shares available for issuance under the
Plan to accommodate the equity grants
contemplated under this Term Sheet so
that, promptly following the approval,
the executives will receive an
additional grant of Time Vested Stock
Options equal to the remainder of the
Time Vested Stock Option 3% grant that
was not granted at the Closing.
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Vesting:
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	•
	 	The Time Vested Stock Options
will vest and become exercisable as
follows: (1) ratably over three years
from the date of grant on each
anniversary of grant, or (2)
immediately on the date of an MP Sale.
The vesting of the Time Vested Stock
Options will be subject to and
conditioned upon the continuous
employment of the grantee through the
relevant vesting date. If the
grantee’s employment is terminated for
any reason (other than as described
below), all unvested Time Vested Stock
Options will be forfeited upon such
termination of employment.
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	•
	 	In the event that a grantee is
terminated by the Company without Cause or

Schedule E-2 

 

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	resigns for Good Reason (each, as defined) prior to the vesting date, he or she will be automatically vested in
any unvested Time Vested Stock Options on the date of such termination. The Time Vested Stock Options will have a
post-termination exercise period equal to the shorter of (i) 1 year following the date of such termination or (ii)
the remainder of the term of the option.
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Exercise Price:
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	•
	 	The exercise price of the Time
Vested Stock Options will be the
greater of (i) the per share Purchase
Price, or (ii) the fair market value of
the Company’s common stock on the date
of grant (“FMV”).
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	PERFORMANCE-VESTED STOCK OPTION POOL	 	Time and Amount of Grant:
	 

	 	 	 	•
	 	After the approval of the
Stockholder Proposals concerning the
amended Plan, the Company will allocate
for options to acquire shares of
Company common stock equal to 4.5% of
the total shares of Company common
stock on the date of grant (the
“Performance Vested Stock Option
Pool”). The Performance Vested Stock
Option Pool will have a term that
expires 10 years from the date of
grant.
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	•
	 	The allocation among the
executives, other members of management
and employees of the Performance Vested
Stock Option Pool will be established
as of the relevant performance vesting
dates as set forth in the grant
documentation approved by the
Compensation Committee of the Board.
The allocation mechanics and the
structure as options and/or restricted
stock and/or SARs will be subject to
further tax review and optimization.

Schedule E-3 

 

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Allocation/Vesting:
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	•
	 	The Performance Vested Stock
Option Pool will be allocated and will
initially vest based upon the
attainment of performance criteria to
be established by the Compensation
Committee. The subsequent vesting of
allocated portions of the Performance
Vested Stock Option Pool will also be
subject to and conditioned upon the
continuous employment of the applicable
grantee(s), with ratable vesting of the
allocated grants over the three years
following the date(s) of allocation on
each anniversary date. If an
applicable grantee terminates
employment for any reason (other than
as set forth in his or her specific
grant or employment contract), all
unvested grants from the Performance
Vested Stock Option Pool will be
forfeited upon such termination of
employment.
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	•
	 	In the event of a Change of
Control (as defined) of the Company,
all performance criteria will be
measured by the Compensation Committee
as of the Change of Control date and
vesting/allocations will be effected
accordingly or, if determined by the
Board, the Performance Vested Stock
Option Pool will continue following
such event with such modifications to
performance criteria as the
Compensation Committee deems
appropriate to give effect to the
transaction.
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Exercise Price:
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	•
	 	The “exercise price” of the
Performance Vested Stock Option Pool
grants will be the FMV at the initial
allocation date for the pool.

Schedule E-4 

 

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	RESTRICTED SHARE TERMS	 	 	TIME AND AMOUNT OF GRANT:
	 

	 	 	 	•	 	At the time of an MP Sale, all executives
who received the Time Vested Stock Options and who
remain employed with the Company at the time of an
MP Sale will receive a one-time grant of
restricted shares under the Plan (the “Restricted
Shares”).
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	•	 	Only one grant of Restricted Shares will
be granted to the executives under this program in
the amount described below.
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	•
	 	The initial allocation of the Restricted
Shares for issuance to the executives in
connection with a MP Sale shall be as set forth
below will be determined before Closing.
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	•	 	The aggregate number of Restricted Shares
subject to grant to the executives on the MP Sale
will be such number of shares of Common Stock that
equal the dollar value determined as follows:

(FMV per share of Company common stock determined
in MP Sale – the per-share Purchase Price) x
“n” shares of Company common stock.

“n” is determined as follows:

If and to the extent that the Purchaser’s return
on the MP Sale (as measured by the sale price of
Company common shares in the MP Sale compared to
the per-share Purchase Price) is equal to the
following multiples,1 then “n” shall be
set as follows:

 

			
	1	 	As a hypothetical example, if at the time of the MP
Sale, the FMV per share of Company stock is $2, and the return to Purchaser on
this MP Sale is a 2.0X return, the Executives as a group would receive a grant
of restricted shares in aggregate value equal to $1 [$2 — $1] multiplied
by 1.5% of the total shares
	 
	 	 	
 

Schedule E-5 

 

2.0X  = 1.5% of the total shares of Company common
stock at the Closing
 

3.0X  = + 1.5% of the total shares of Company
common stock at the Closing
 

4.0X = + 2.0% of the total shares of Company
common stock at the Closing
 

5.0X = + 2.0% of the total shares of Company
common stock at the Closing

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Vesting:
	 
	 
	 	 	 	•
	 	The Restricted Shares will vest and the
restrictions thereon will lapse based upon the
percentage of interest in the Company that is sold
by Purchaser in the MP Sale.
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	•
	 	If the MP Sale results in Purchaser
disposing of 100% of its interests in the Company,
the Restricted Shares that are issued in
connection with the MP Sale will fully vest in the
executives on such date.
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	•
	 	If the MP Sale results in Purchaser
retaining any portion of its interest in the
Company, the Restricted Shares

 

of Company common stock at the Closing (i.e., the
value as if such 1.5% of the Company common stock had a value of $1 per share).

As another hypothetical example, if at the time of the MP Sale, the FMV per
share of Company is $5 per share, and the return to Purchaser on this MP Sale
is a 5.0X return, the Executives as a group would receive a grant of restricted
shares in aggregate value equal to $4 [$5 - $1] multiplied by 7.0% of the total
shares of Company common stock at the Closing (i.e., the value as if such 7.0%
of the Company common stock had a value of $4 per share).

Schedule E-6 

 

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	 	 	that are issued
will vest in the executives as follows: (i) the
proportion of Restricted Shares equal to the
actual percentage disposed of by Purchaser in the
MP Sale will vest fully in the executives on such
date, and (ii) the remaining Restricted Shares
that are issued in connection with the MP Sale
will vest ratably over the two years following the
date of grant on each anniversary date,
conditioned on the continued employment of the
executive with the Company during such period,
provided, however, that if a Change of Control
occurs after the MP Sale, all unvested Restricted
Shares that were issued in connection with the MP
Sale shall vest on such date of the Change of
Control.
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	•
	 	In the event that an executive is
terminated by the Company without Cause or leaves
for Good Reason either prior to an MP Sale or
after such an MP Sale but prior to the relevant
vesting date, he or she will retain the rights to
receive the Restricted Shares for up to one year
from the date of such termination, and any
Restricted Shares that were or are issued to an
executive in connection with an MP Sale that would
remain subject to two-year vesting will be fully
vested.

Participant who is entitled to a distribution on account of Participant’s Disability or Separation
From Service, Retirement means the later of attainment of Early Retirement Age or Participant’s
actual severance date.

     2.19 Separation From Service means Participant’s severance of employment with Company either

provided Participant is employed by Company on the Allocation Date.

     4.02 Earnings Allocation. Subject to Section 10, amounts credited to Participant’s Deferred
Compensation Account shall be adjusted on each Allocation Date for earnings as
described in this Section 4.02. Such adjustments shall continue quarterly until the date when all
benefits payable under the Plan have been distributed to Participant. The income allocated to

3

 

Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account shall be the mid-term applicable federal rate (as
defined in Code Section 1274(d)) for January 1 of the calendar year in which the income is
credited, such interest to be compounded annually.

     Company does not guarantee the preservation of the principal amount credited to Participant’s
Account or a minimum rate of return on any such investments.

Section 5. Vesting.

     Subject to satisfying the distribution events set forth in Section 6 below, Participant’s
interest in his Deferred Compensation Account shall be 100% vested and nonforfeitable upon the
first to occur of a Participant’s Retirement, Separation From Service or experiencing a Disability.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.01, in the event of Participant’s Separation From
Service or Disability, Participant’s interest in his Deferred Compensation Account balance shall be
the amount he would have received at Early Retirement Age had he continued to participate in the
Plan and retired upon reaching Early Retirement Age; provided, however, if the Participant elects a
delayed distribution date (not to exceed the Participant’s attainment of Normal Retirement Age), in
accordance with Section 6.02, Participant’s vested interest in his Deferred Compensation Account
shall be the amount he would have received on the delayed distribution date had he continued to
participate in the Plan and retired on the delayed distribution date.

Section 6. Commencement of Distribution.

     6.01 Distribution Dates. The form and manner in which distributions will be made from the
Plan shall be determined in accordance with Section 7 below. No amount standing from time to time
to the credit of Participant in his Deferred Compensation Account shall be assignable or alienable
by Participant, nor may any such payment be used as collateral or in any other fashion by
Participant prior to payment by Company. Subject to Section 6.03 below, no amount standing from
time to time to the credit of Participant in his Deferred Compensation Account shall be payable to
Participant until the earliest of the following distribution dates:

          (a) Participant’s Retirement date;

          (b) The date of Participant’s Separation From Service; or

          (c) The date of Participant’s termination of employment on account of his Disability.

     6.02 Time of Distribution. When the amounts credited to Participant’s Deferred Compensation
Account become payable pursuant to Section 6.01 (a) or (b) above, distribution of such benefit
shall begin on the first day of the seventh month after the first Allocation Date that immediately
follows the earliest distribution date, or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter.
Distribution of a benefit payable pursuant to Section 6.01(c) above shall begin on the
first day of the first month after the Allocation Date that immediately follows the event, or as
soon as administratively possible thereafter.

4

 

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, Participant may elect a delayed distribution date. The delayed
distribution date may be a specific future date or the attainment of a specified age by the
Participant (not to exceed the Participant’s attainment of age 65), so long as the delayed
distribution date is:

          (a) requested at least twelve (12) months prior to the earliest distribution date;

          (b) the election does not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on
which the election is made; and

          (c) the payment is postponed for a period of not less than five (5) years from the date the
payment would otherwise have been made.

     6.03 Accelerating the Time of Payment. Notwithstanding the distribution dates set forth in
Section 6.01 above, an early distribution may be made as soon as administratively possible in
accordance with IRS Reg. 1.409A-3(j)(4) and subsequent guidance following the occurrence of any of
the following events :

          (a) to fulfill the requirements of a domestic relations order;

          (b) as necessary to comply with a certificate of divestiture as defined in Code Section
1043(b)(2);

          (c) to make payment of certain employment and/or income taxes;

          (d) de minimis cashout amounts not exceeding $10,000; or

          (e) certain arrangement terminations of the Plan as described in Section 11 below.

     In the case of an accelerated payment due to Section 6.03(a) above, a payment under the Plan
may be made to an individual other than the Participant to the extent necessary to fulfill the
terms of a domestic relations order that is issued by a court of competent jurisdiction. The
Plan’s rules regarding changes in the time and form of payment do not apply to changes in the time
and form of payment that are required by such a domestic relations order, so long as the payment
that is made pursuant to the domestic relations order will be made to the alternate payee who is
named in the domestic relations order and not to the Participant. The Plan will make such a
payment at the time and in the form specified in the domestic relations order. If the domestic
relations order requires that the alternate payee be given an election as to the time and form of
payment, the Plan will follow such an alternate payee’s election of a time and form of payment so
long as the alternate payee makes said election in accordance with the Plan’s rules and procedures
relating to time and form of payment elections. The Plan may make such a payment to someone other
than a Participant pursuant to a domestic relations order only with regard to deferrals resulting
from Compensation paid for services that were rendered after December 31,
2004, and investment gains and losses thereon. The Participant to whom the domestic relations
order relates must pay to the Company whatever amount is charged by the Company for processing the
domestic relations order and making the payment to someone other than the

5

 

Participant. This
payment to the Company cannot be deducted from the amount credited to the Participant’s Plan
Account.

     6.04 Delaying Payments Under Certain Circumstances. A payment may be delayed in accordance
with IRS Reg. 1.409A-2(b)(5) (and such other guidance published after the Effective Date) under the
following circumstances as described in the Regulation:

          (a) Payments subject to Code Section 162(m) where the Company reasonably anticipates that its
deduction with respect to such payment would be limited or eliminated by the application of Code
Section 162(m).

          (b) Payments that would violate a loan covenant or similar contractual requirement of the
Company, where such violation would cause material harm to the Company and the Company entered into
the agreement or covenant for legitimate business reasons and not to avoid restrictions under Code
Section 409A;

          (c) Payments that would violate Federal securities laws or other applicable laws; or

          (d) Such other events and conditions as permitted by applicable law.

          Any missed or delayed payments (and the related earnings) shall be made to Participant’s
Deferred Compensation Account at the earliest date on which Company reasonably anticipates that the
payment will not cause the harm to be avoided by the application of this Section 6.04.

Section 7. Manner and Form of Distribution.

     7.01 Manner of Payment. Upon the occurrence of a distribution event set forth in Section 6,
Participant shall receive payment in cash of the balance in his Deferred Compensation Account
maintained with Company, if any, remaining after the last Allocation Date occurring in the calendar
year of the distribution event, but after the date of the distribution event.

     7.02 Form of Payment. Subject to Section 11, the Participant’s benefit payable from his
Deferred Compensation Account shall be distributed in a single cash lump sum, unless, with respect
to benefits payable under Sections 6.01(a) and (c), (1) the Participant elects, on his initial
election form, to receive his benefit in installments, or (2) the Participant changes his election
of the form of payment from a lump sum to installments by submitting an amended election form to
the Committee in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.02 above.

          Installment payments made under this Section 7.02 shall be equal monthly installments payable
over a period of ten (10), fifteen (15) or twenty (20) years, said installment payments to be
treated as a single payment pursuant to IRS Reg. 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii) and future
guidance; provided, however, pursuant to IRS Reg. 1.409A-2(j)(1) and any other applicable law, if
Participant dies after the installment payments have commenced, but before all installment payments
have been made, all remaining payments shall be aggregated and distributed to Participant’s
beneficiary in a single cash payment.

6

 

     The lump sum, or if applicable, monthly installment payment(s) to which the Participant would
have been entitled during the first six months following the date of his severance on account of
Retirement or Separation From Service shall be aggregated (if applicable) and paid on the first day
of the seventh month following the date of Participant’s severance on account of Retirement or
Separation From Service. The six month postponement that is imposed by this Section 7.02 shall not
apply to (1) a payment due pursuant to a domestic relations order; (2) a payment that is necessary
to comply with a certificate of divestiture as defined in Code Section 1043(b)(2); or (3) a payment
of employment taxes that is described in IRS Reg. 1.409A-3(h)(2)(v).

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall interpret all provisions relating to
changing the form of benefit payment under this Section 7.02 in a manner that is consistent with
Code Section 409A and other applicable tax law, including but not limited to Treasury guidance or
Regulations issued after the Effective Date.

Section 8. Conditions.

     (a) Normal Employment. The payment of benefits under this Plan to Participant is conditioned
upon Participant’s continuous employment (periods of temporary disability and authorized leaves of
absence shall be considered as periods of employment) with Company from the date of execution of
this Plan until the date Participant reaches Retirement. Payment is further conditioned upon
Participant’s compliance with the terms of this Plan so long as Participant lives and payments are
due under the terms of this Plan. However, in the event of a Change of Control, continuous
employment of Participant shall be required only until the date of Participant’s voluntary
termination or discharge without Just Cause.

     (b) Service. Payment of benefits is also conditioned upon Participant rendering such
reasonable business consulting and advisory services as Company’s Board of Directors may call upon
Participant to provide, for a period from Participant’s Early or Normal Retirement Age (whichever
is applicable) until Participant’s death, or until prior Disability.

          (1) It is understood that such services shall not require Participant to be active in
Company’s day-to-day activities, and that Participant shall perform services as requested by
management.

          (2) It is further understood that Participant shall be compensated for such services in an
amount to the then agreed upon, and shall be reimbursed for all expenses incurred in performing
such services.

     (c) Noncompetition. Payment of benefits is further conditioned upon Participant not acting in
any similar employment capacity for any business enterprise which competes to a substantial degree
with Company, or any affiliate of Company (as defined in Rule
144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended), nor engaging in any activity involving
substantial competition with Company or any affiliate, during employment with Company or any
affiliate, after retirement from Company or any affiliate, or after prior Disability while
receiving

7

 

benefits under this Plan. In the event of violation of this provision, all future
payments (if any) shall be cancelled and discontinued. The Board of Directors may waive these
conditions.

Section 9. Death Benefit.

     No death benefit shall be payable under the Plan; however, if Participant has elected an
installment form of payment and the installments have commenced, then a benefit shall be payable to
the Participant’s beneficiary as provided in Section 7.02 above.

Section 10. Unsecured Unfunded Plan.

     Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account shall be a bookkeeping account only, and Company
shall not be required in any way to fund the Account. Company shall have no obligation to set
aside, earmark, or entrust any fund, policy or money with which to pay its obligation under this
Plan. Participant, or any successor in interest, shall be and remain a general creditor of Company
with respect to amounts deferred under this Plan in the same manner as any other unsecured creditor
who has a general claim for an unpaid liability. Company shall be the sole owner and beneficiary
of any assets acquired for its general account under this Plan. Company shall not make any loans
or extend credit to Participant, or any successor in interest, which shall be offset by benefits
payable under this Plan.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company may enter into a trust agreement (“Trust Agreement”),
whereby Company may agree to contribute to a trust (“Trust”) sums for the purpose of accumulating
assets to fund benefit payments to Participants under the Plan. Company may contribute amounts to
the Trust from time to time as determined by the Board of Directors of Company. Such Trust
Agreement shall be substantially in the form of the model trust agreement set forth in Revenue
Procedure 92-64, or any subsequent Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure, and shall include
provisions required in such model trust agreement that all assets of the Trust shall be subject to
the creditors of Company in the event of insolvency.

Section 11. Plan Amendment and Termination.

     Isabella may amend or terminate the Plan by action of its Board of Directors at any time in
its sole discretion without the consent of Participant. No amendment or termination shall
adversely affect the benefit to which Participant is entitled under the Plan prior to the date of
such amendment or termination.

     In the event of Plan termination, all amounts credited to Plan Accounts shall be retained by
the Company and paid pursuant to Participant elections that have been made in accordance with the
Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Plan Accounts shall be paid to Plan Participants on Plan
termination if, and only if, at least one of the three circumstances described in (a), (b) and (c)
below is true as to the Plan.

	 	(a)	 	General Rule. Payment of all benefits shall occur on Plan termination
if the Company meets all of the requirements listed in (1), (2), (3) and (4) below.

8

 

	 	(1)	 	The Company and all participating Companies terminate and
liquidate all Similar Arrangements with regard to which the Participant made
deferrals if said Arrangements would be combined with the Plan under the plan
aggregation rules of IRS Reg. 1.409A-1(c)(2). All such terminations shall be
effective as of the effective date of the termination of this Plan.
	 
	 	(2)	 	No payments in liquidation of the Plan (other than those
otherwise payable under the terms of the Plan and all Similar Arrangements
maintained by the Company and all participating Companies absent termination of
the Plan and the Arrangements) are made within 12 months following the
termination of the Plan and the Similar Arrangements, and all payments on
liquidation of the Plan are completed within 24 months after the termination of
the Plan and those Similar Arrangements.
	 
	 	(3)	 	The Company and all participating Companies do not adopt any
new plan or arrangement that would be combined with the Plan under the plan
aggregation rules of IRS Reg.1.409A-1(c)(2) for a period of three years
following the date of Plan termination, if the same individual participated in
both the Plan and the new arrangement at any time during said three-year
period.
	 
	 	(4)	 	The termination and liquidation does not occur proximate to a
downturn in the financial health of the Company or any of the participating
Companies.

	 	(b)	 	Change of Control Rule. If the Plan is terminated during the 30-day
period preceding or the 12-month period following a Change of Control event, then (1)
all amounts credited to the Participant’s Plan Account shall be paid to Participant
within this period in one lump sum, and (2) the Company shall, within the period, also
terminate all Similar Arrangements and pay in one lump sum all amounts credited to all
accounts under all such Arrangements within said period. A Change of Control event
shall have occurred for purposes of this Section 11(b), only if it has occurred as
defined in Code Section 409A(a)(2)(v) and the related regulations.
	 
	 	(c)	 	Dissolution or Bankruptcy. The Plan may be terminated upon a
dissolution of the Company that is taxed under Code Section 331, or with the approval
of a bankruptcy court pursuant to 11 USC Section 503(b)(1)(A), provided that in either
case the amounts deferred under the Plan are included in each of the respective
Participant’s gross income by the latest of (1) the calendar year in which the Plan
termination occurs, (2) the calendar year in which the amount is no longer subject to a
substantial risk of forfeiture, or (3) the first calendar year in which the payment is
administratively practicable.

9

 

Section 12. Expenses and Taxes.

     Company shall pay all costs, charges and expenses relating to the establishment and operation
of the Plan. However, all taxes, with the exception of Company’s portion of social security and
medicare taxes, shall be the responsibility of Participant.

Section 13. Nonassignability.

     The benefits payable under the Plan and the right to receive future benefits under the Plan
may not be anticipated, alienated, pledged, encumbered or subject to any charge or legal process,
and if any attempt is made to do so, or if a person eligible for any benefits becomes bankrupt, the
interests under the Plan of the person affected may be terminated by the Administrator which, in
its sole discretion, may cause the same to be held or applied for the benefit of one or more
dependents of such person or make any other disposition of such benefits that it deems appropriate.

Section 14. Employment Status.

     The Plan does not, and will not, give any Participant the right to continue as an Employee of
Company, nor will the Plan confer any right to any benefit under the Plan unless such right has
specifically accrued under the terms of the Plan.

Section 15. Administration.

     The Board of Directors shall appoint an impartial Administrative Committee consisting of
individuals who are not participants in the Plan. The Administrative Committee shall have the sole
and exclusive discretionary authority to construe and interpret the terms and provisions of this
Plan, make factual determinations and decide all questions of eligibility and the amount and time
of any benefit payment. Benefits under the Plan shall be paid only if the Committee decides in its
discretion that the Participant is entitled to them and all interpretations of the Committee shall
be final and binding on all persons. No member of the Administrative Committee shall, in any
event, be liable to any person for any action taken or omitted in connection with the
interpretation, construction or administration of this Plan, so long as such action or omission to
act be made in good faith. In no event, however, shall the provisions of Section 10 or any other
provisions in this Plan prevent Participant from seeking legal recourse for any claim he may have
under this Plan.

     The Committee shall have the authority to adopt, alter and repeal such administrative rules,
guidelines and practices governing this Plan as it shall, from time to time, deem advisable. It
may delegate such ministerial functions as necessary for the operation of the Plan to its agents,
including, but not limited to:

          (a) maintenance of rules determining eligibility for participation and benefits;

          (b) maintenance of records and bookkeeping, including but not limited to the amount payable by
Company to Participants;

10

 

          (c) calculation and payment of benefits;

          (d) making recommendations to the Administrator with respect to Plan administration; and

          (e) establishing and carrying out a funding policy and method consistent with the objectives
of the Plan.

     The Committee’s interpretations and determinations shall be final and binding on all persons
and parties concerned. The Committee may make such provision to withhold any taxes which it is
required to withhold from any applicable benefit payment. Participant, however, shall be
responsible for the payment of all individual tax liabilities relating to any such payment.

Section 16. Claims Procedure.

     16.01 Presentation of Claim. Any Participant (such Participant being referred to below as a
“Claimant”) may deliver to the Committee a written claim for a determination with respect to the
amounts distributable to such Claimant from the Plan. If such a claim relates to the contents of a
notice received by the Claimant, the claim must be made within sixty (60) days after such notice
was received by the Claimant. All other claims must be made within 180 days of the date on which
the event that caused the claim to arise occurred. The claim must state with particularity the
determination desired by the Claimant.

     16.02 Notification of Decision. The Committee shall consider a Claimant’s claim within a
reasonable time, but no later than ninety (90) days after receiving the claim. If the Committee
determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim,
written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the Claimant prior to the termination of the
initial ninety (90) day period. In no event shall such extension exceed a period of ninety (90)
days from the end of the initial period. The extension notice shall indicate the special
circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by which the Committee expects to render
the benefit determination. The Committee shall notify the Claimant in writing:

          (a) that the Claimant’s requested determination has been made, and that the claim has been
allowed in full; or

          (b) that the Committee has reached a conclusion contrary, in whole or in part, to the
Claimant’s requested determination, and such notice must set forth in a manner calculated to be
understood by the Claimant:

               (i) the specific reason(s) for the denial of the claim, or any part of it;

               (ii) specific reference(s) to pertinent provisions of the Plan upon which such denial was
based;

               (iii) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to
perfect the claim, and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary;

11

 

               (iv) an explanation of the claim review procedure set forth in Section 16.03 below; and

               (v) a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil action following an adverse benefit
determination on review.

     16.03 Review of a Denied Claim. On or before sixty (60) days after receiving a notice from
the Committee that a claim has been denied, in whole or in part, a Claimant (or the Claimant’s duly
authorized representative) may file with the Committee a written request for a review of the denial
of the claim. The Claimant (or the Claimant’s duly authorized representative):

          (a) may, upon request and free of charge, have reasonable access to, and copies of, all
documents, records and other information relevant to the claim for benefits;

          (b) may submit written comments or other documents; and/or

          (c) may request a hearing, which the Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant.

     16.04 Decision on Review. The Committee shall render its decision on review promptly, and no
later than sixty (60) days after the Committee receives the Claimant’s written request for a review
of the denial of the claim. If the Committee determines that special circumstances require an
extension of time for processing the claim, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to
the Claimant prior to the termination of the initial sixty (60) day period. In no event shall such
extension exceed a period of sixty (60) days from the end of the initial period. The extension
notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring an extension of time and the date by
which the Committee expects to render the benefit determination. In rendering its decision, the
Committee shall take into account all comments, documents, records and other information submitted
by the Claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or
considered in the initial benefit determination. The decision must be written in a manner
calculated to be understood by the Claimant, and it must contain:

          (a) specific reasons for the decision;

          (b) specific reference(s) to the pertinent Plan provisions upon which the decision was based;

          (c) a statement that the Claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge,
reasonable access to and copies of, all documents, records and other information relevant to the
Claimant’s claim for benefits; and

          (d) a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil action following a final adverse
decision.

12

 

     16.05 Legal Action. A Claimant’s compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 16
is a mandatory prerequisite to a Claimant’s right to commence any legal action with respect to any
claim for benefits under this Plan.

Section 17. Binding Effect.

     This Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties to the Plan and upon
the successors and assigns of Company, and upon the heirs and legal representatives of Participant.

Section 18. Incompetency.

     If Company shall find that any person to whom any payment is payable under this Plan is unable
to care for his affairs because of illness or accident, any payment due (unless a prior claim
therefore shall have been made by a duly appointed guardian, a committee or other legal
representative) may be paid to the spouse, a child, a parent, a brother or sister, or a custodian,
or to any person deemed by Company to have incurred expense for such person otherwise entitled to
payment, in such manner and proportions as Company may determine. Any such payment shall be a
complete discharge of the liabilities of Company under this Plan.

Section 19. Severability.

     In the event that any of the provisions of this Plan are held to be inoperative or invalid by
any court of competent jurisdiction, then: (1) insofar as is reasonable, effect will be given to
the intent manifested in the provision held invalid or inoperative, and (2) the validity and
enforceability of the remaining provisions will not be affected thereby.

Section 20. Construction.

     This Plan shall be construed under the laws of the State of Michigan and Code Section 409A and
the Treasury guidance and Regulations promulgated thereunder. The invalidity or unenforceability
of any one or more provision of the Plan shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the
Plan, which shall remain in full force and effect to the extent permitted by law.

     If any provisions of this Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, said legality
or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of this Plan, and this Plan shall be construed
and enforced as if said illegal and invalid provision had not been included in the Plan.
