     COUNTRYWIDE FINANCIAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), for value
received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or registered assignees, the principal sum of Five
Hundred Million Dollars ($500,000,000) on the Stated Maturity Date specified above (except to the
extent redeemed prior to the Stated Maturity Date) at the office or agency of the Company in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, State of New York, and such other place or places as
may be provided for pursuant to the Indenture referred to below, and to pay interest in arrears at
a rate per annum equal to the Initial Interest Rate specified above from, and including the
Original Issue Date specified above to, but excluding, the first Interest Reset Date following the
Original Issue Date and thereafter, except as specified herein, at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR
(as determined in accordance with the provisions below under the heading “Determination of LIBOR”)
plus the Spread specified above (the “Interest Rate”) until the principal hereof becomes due and
payable. The Company will pay interest on the Interest Payment Dates specified above (each, an
Interest Payment Date”), commencing on January 1, 2006, and on the Stated Maturity Date or, if
applicable, any date of earlier redemption (the “Redemption Date”) (the earliest of the Stated
Maturity Date and the Redemption Date is hereinafter referred to as the “Maturity Date” with
respect to the principal repayable on such date); provided, however, that if an
Interest Payment Date other than the Maturity Date would fall on a day that is not a Business Day
(as defined below), such Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next Business Day, except
that if such next Business Day falls in the next calendar month, such Interest Payment Date shall
be the immediately preceding Business Day; provided, further, that if the Maturity
Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or
interest to be made on the Maturity Date shall be made on the next Business Day with the same force
and effect as if made on the Maturity Date, and no interest on such payment shall accrue to the
next Business Day. For purposes of this Note, “Business Day” means each Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday that is not a day on which banking institutions in the city in which
the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office is located or in New York, New York or Los Angeles, California
are authorized or obligated by law, executive order or regulation to remain closed;
provided, however, that the day must also be a London Banking Day. “London Banking
Day” means a day on which commercial banks are open for business (including dealings in the LIBOR
Currency specified above in London.

     The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment
Date will be paid, as provided in the Indenture, to the person (the “Holder”) in whose name this
Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on December 15,
March 15, June 15 or September 15, as applicable, (whether or not a Business Day) immediately
preceding such Interest Payment Date (each, a “Record Date”); provided, however,
that interest payable on the Maturity Date will be payable to the person to whom principal is
payable.

     Unless otherwise specified above, payment of interest on this Note due on any Interest Payment
Date other than the Maturity Date, at the option of the Company, may be made by mailing a check to
the address of the Holder hereof as such address shall appear in the Security Register (as defined
in the Indenture) on the applicable Record Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on any Interest
Payment Date other than the Maturity Date, each Holder of U.S. $10,000,000 or more in aggregate
principal amount of Notes (whether or not having identical terms and provisions) shall be entitled
to receive such payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by
the payee with a bank located in the United States, but only if appropriate wire transfer
instructions have been received in writing by the Trustee not later than the Record Date
immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. If this Note is a global Note registered in the
name of the Depositary or its nominee, then, anything in the Indenture or the Notes to the contrary
notwithstanding, payments of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note shall be
made by wire transfer. The Company shall pay any administrative costs imposed by banks in
connection with making payments by wire transfer; provided, however, that any tax,
assessment or other governmental charge imposed upon payments shall be borne by the Holder hereby
in respect of which payments are made.

3

 

     All payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest, in respect of this Note will be made
by the Company in U.S. dollars.

     Any interest not punctually paid or duly provided for with respect to this Note (“Defaulted
Interest”) will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder of this Note on the applicable Record
Date and may either be paid to the person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of
business on a special record date (the “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to the Holder of this Note not
less than ten days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other
lawful manner, all as more completely provided in the Indenture.

     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes, bonds or other evidences of
indebtedness of the Company (collectively, the “Debt Securities”), of the series hereinafter
specified, all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an indenture, dated as of September 30,
2005, as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time (the “Indenture”), among the Company
and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee
under the Indenture), to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a description of the
respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the
Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Notes. This Note is one of a series designated as
“Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due April 1, 2011” of the Company (collectively, the “Notes”),
limited in aggregate principal amount to U.S. $500,000,000.

     The indebtedness evidenced by, and the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and
interest on, and any other amount owing in respect of, the Notes is, to the extent and in the
manner provided in the Indenture, expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment to the
prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Indenture) of the Company
whether outstanding at the date of this Note or thereafter incurred. Each Holder of this Note, by
his acceptance hereof, agrees to and shall be bound by all the provisions of the Indenture relating
to such subordination and authorizes and directs the Trustee to take such action on his behalf as
may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination of the indebtedness
evidenced by this Note as provided in the Indenture and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact
for any and all such purposes.

     The interest payable hereon on each Interest Payment Date will include interest accrued from
and including the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly
provided for, or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the
Original Issue Date, as the case may be, to, but excluding, such applicable Interest Payment Date
or the Maturity Date, as the case may be (each, an “Interest Period”). Accrued interest will be
calculated by multiplying the principal amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. Such accrued
interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factors calculated for each day in the
Interest Period for which interest is being paid. The interest factor for each such day shall be
computed by dividing the Interest Rate applicable to such day by 360.

     This Note will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR determined in accordance with
the provisions set forth below plus the Spread specified above. Commencing with the first Interest
Reset Date specified above, the rate at which interest on this Note is payable shall be reset as of
each Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect for the period, if
any, from the Original Issue Date to the first Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest
Rate.

     Except as set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, the interest rate applicable to an
Interest Reset Period (as defined below) commencing on the related Interest Reset Date will be
determined by reference to LIBOR (as determined in accordance with the provisions set forth below)
as of the particular “Interest Determination Date”, which will be the second London Banking Day
preceding the related Interest Reset Date. The “Interest Reset Period” is the period
between Interest Reset Dates.

4

 

     If any Interest Reset Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest
Reset Date shall be postponed to the next Business Day, except that if such next Business Day falls
in the next calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business
Day.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the interest rate hereon shall in no event be higher than the
maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law of general
application.

     Subject to applicable provisions of law and except as specified herein, on each applicable
Interest Determination Date the rate of interest will be calculated by the Calculation Agent
specified below in accordance with the provisions below.

     All percentages used in or resulting from any calculation of the rate of interest on this Note
will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (with
        .000005% rounded up to .00001%), and all U.S. dollar amounts used in or resulting from such
calculations on this Note will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded
upward).

          Determination of LIBOR. “LIBOR” for each applicable Interest Reset Date will be:

	 	(1)	 	the rate for deposits in the LIBOR Currency having the Index Maturity specified
above, commencing on the related Interest Reset Date, immediately following such
Interest Determination Date, that appears on the LIBOR Page at approximately 11:00
A.M., London time, on the particular Interest Determination Date, or
	 
	 	(2)	 	if no rate appears on the particular Interest Determination Date on the LIBOR
Page as specified in clause (1), the arithmetic mean of the offered rates calculated by
the Calculation Agent, of at least two offered quotations obtained by the Calculation
Agent after requesting the principal London offices of each of four major reference
banks in the London interbank market selected by the Calculation Agent, after
consultation with the Company, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered
quotation for deposits in the LIBOR Currency having the particular Index Maturity
specified above, commencing on the related Interest Reset Date immediately following
such Interest Determination Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market at
approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on that Interest Determination Date and in a
principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in the LIBOR Currency
in that market at that time, or
	 
	 	(3)	 	if fewer than two offered quotations referred to in clause (2) are provided as
requested, the rate calculated by the Calculation Agent as the arithmetic mean of the
rates quoted at approximately 11:00 A.M., in New York City, on the particular Interest
Determination Date by three major banks (which may include affiliates of the Trustee)
in New York City selected by the Calculation Agent after consultation with the Company
for loans in the LIBOR Currency, commencing on the related Interest Reset Date
immediately following such Interest Determination Date, to leading European banks
having the particular Index Maturity specified above and in a principal amount that is
representative for a single transaction in the LIBOR Currency in that market at that
time, or
	 
	 	(4)	 	if less than three of the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are
quoting as mentioned in clause (3), LIBOR for the immediately preceding Interest Reset
Period, or, if there was no preceding Interest Reset Period, the Initial Interest Rate.

5

 

          “LIBOR Currency” means United States dollars.

          “LIBOR Page” means the display on Moneyline Telerate, Inc. (or any successor service) on page
3750 (or any other page as may replace such page on such service) for the purpose of displaying the
London interbank rates of major banks for the LIBOR Currency.

     The Bank of New York shall be the Calculation Agent. At the request of the Holder
hereof, the Calculation Agent will provide the interest rate then in effect and, if determined, the
interest rate which will become effective on the next Interest Reset Date.

     If an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, with respect to the Notes shall have
occurred and be continuing, the principal hereof and accrued but unpaid interest hereon, may be
declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and payable in the manner, with the effect
and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture. Payment of the principal of the Note may
be accelerated only in the case of certain events involving the bankruptcy or reorganization of the
Company under U.S federal bankruptcy laws. There is no right of acceleration of payment of the Note
in the case of a default in the performance of any covenant of the Company, including payment of
principal or interest.

     The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities at the time
outstanding of each series to be affected, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute
supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of
the provisions of the Indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Debt
Securities; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without
the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Debt Security affected thereby:

     (i) except as otherwise permitted in the Indenture in connection with Debt Securities
for which the Stated Maturity is extendible, change the Stated Maturity of the principal of,
or any installment of interest on, any such Debt Security;

     (ii) reduce the principal amount of any such Debt Security or, except as otherwise
permitted in the Indenture in connection with Debt Securities for which the interest rate
may be reset, the interest thereon or any premium payable upon the redemption or repayment
thereof;

     (iii) adversely affect any right of repayment at the option of the Holder of any such
Debt Security;

     (iv) reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, any payment under any
sinking fund or analogous provisions for any Debt Security;

     (v) change any Place of Payment, or the coin or currency or currency unit of the
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Debt Security;

     (vi) change or eliminate certain rights of Holders to receive payment in a designated
currency;

     (vii) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any required payment on
or with respect to any Debt Security;

     (viii) reduce the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt
Securities of any series, the consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental

6

 

indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver (of compliance
with certain provisions of the Indenture or certain defaults thereunder and their
consequences) provided for in the Indenture;

     (ix) make any change relating to the subordination of the Debt Securities in a manner
adverse to the Holders of such Debt Securities; or

     (x) modify certain other provisions of the Indenture. It is also provided in the
Indenture that, with respect to certain defaults or Events of Default regarding the Debt
Securities of any series, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Debt Securities of such series at the time outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all
of the Debt Securities of such series waive any past default or Event of Default and its
consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or
interest on, any Debt Security of such series or in respect of certain other covenants or
provisions of the Indenture.

Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such
Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not any notation of such
consent or waiver is made upon this Note or such other Notes.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and no reference to any provision of this Note shall

principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, this Note at the places, at the respective
times, at the rate and in the currency herein prescribed.

     The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in the minimum denomination of

charge except for any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed in connection therewith,
for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations in the manner and
subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

     The Company may at its option redeem this Note for cash in whole or in part in increments of
U.S. $1,000 (provided that any remaining principal amount hereof shall be not less than the minimum
denomination, as described above) on any Interest Payment Date on or after April 1, 2006 at a
redemption price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the unpaid principal amount hereof or the portion
thereof redeemed, plus (ii) accrued but unpaid interest to the Redemption Date.

     The Company may exercise such option to redeem the Notes by causing the Trustee to mail a

the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the
cancellation hereof. If less than all of the Notes with like tenor and terms to this Note are to
be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee by such method as the
Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate.

     Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee
and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Holder hereof as the owner of this Note,
for the purpose of receiving payment of the principal hereof and premium, if any, and interest

respect of the Indenture, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director or employee, as
such, past, present, or future, of the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of
any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or
otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for
the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

     The Notes are not subject to the defeasance or covenant defeasance provisions under the
Indenture.

Executive has satisfied his duty to make such determination in good faith. The standard described

action or inaction that occurs other than during the Protective Period.

annual base salary of $400,000. Executive’s annual base salary shall be reviewed annually by the
Board (or a committee thereof) and, in the sole discretion of the Board (or a committee thereof),
such annual base salary may be increased (but not decreased) effective as of any date determined by
the Board. Executive’s base salary shall be paid in equal installments in accordance with

     4.2 Bonuses. Executive shall receive annual bonuses based on performance criteria
determined in the discretion of the Board, after reasonable consultation with Executive (it being
understood that the parties agree that Executive will be entitled to an annual bonus of not less
than 100% of his annual base salary at the rate then in effect, assuming that Company satisfies the
target(s) under the performance criteria established by the Board for such bonus). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Executive shall be eligible for a bonus for the period beginning on the Effective
Date and ending on December 31, 2005 (the “2005 Bonus”) based on EBITDA achieved during the

within 30 days after the completion of Company’s year-end audit for the calendar year ending on
December 31, 2005. The 2005 Bonus, if any, shall be an amount equal to A multiplied by B, where:
A equals a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the period beginning on
the Effective Date and ending on December 31, 2005, and the denominator of which is 365; and B
equals an amount determined in accordance with the following schedule:

	Ending on December 31, 2005	 	 
	(in $ millions)	 	Amount

	 	$	200,000	 
	 
	 	 	 	 
	EBITDA greater than $127.8 but less than

	EBITDA greater than or equal to $156.2

	 	$	600,000

refrain from changing, amending, or discontinuing, any such benefit plan or program, so long as
such changes are similarly applicable to similar situated executives generally.

     5.1 Disclosure to and Property of Company. For purposes of this Article V, the term
“Company” shall include Complete, IPS and I.E. Miller, and any reference to “employment” or similar
terms shall include a director and/or consulting relationship. All information, trade secrets,
designs, ideas, concepts, improvements, product developments, discoveries and inventions, whether
patentable or not, that are conceived, made, developed or acquired by Executive, individually or in
conjunction with others, during the period of Executive’s employment by Company (whether during
business hours or otherwise and whether on Company’s premises or otherwise) that relate to
Company’s or any of its affiliates’ business, trade secrets, products or services (including,
without limitation, all such information relating to corporate opportunities, product
specification, compositions, manufacturing and distribution methods and processes, research,
financial and sales data, pricing terms, evaluations, opinions, interpretations, acquisition
prospects, the identity of customers or their requirements, the identity of key contacts within the
customer’s organizations or within the organization of acquisition prospects, or exploration,
production, marketing and merchandising techniques, prospective names and marks) and all writings
or materials of any type embodying any of such information, ideas, concepts, improvements,
discoveries, inventions and other similar forms of expression (collectively, “Confidential
Information”) shall be disclosed to Company, and are and shall be the sole and exclusive property
of Company or its affiliates. Moreover, all documents, videotapes, written presentations,
brochures, drawings, memoranda, notes, records, files, correspondence, manuals, models,
specifications, computer programs, E-mail, voice mail, electronic databases, maps, drawings,
architectural renditions, models and all other writings or materials of any type embodying any of
such information, ideas, concepts, improvements, discoveries, inventions and other similar forms of
expression (collectively, “Work Product”) are and shall be the sole and exclusive property of
Company (or its affiliates). Executive agrees to perform all actions reasonably requested by
Company or its affiliates to establish and confirm such exclusive ownership. Upon termination of
Executive’s employment by Company, for any reason, Executive promptly shall deliver such
Confidential Information and Work Product, and all copies thereof, to Company. Notwithstanding the
preceding provisions of this Section 5.1, the terms “Confidential Information” and “Work Product”
do not, however, include (a) any

8

 

information that, at the time of disclosure by Company, is available to the public other than
as a result of any act of Executive and (b) any information that Executive possessed prior to the
Effective Date.

     5.2 Disclosure to Executive. Company will disclose to Executive, or place Executive in
a position to have access to or develop, Confidential Information and Work Product of Company (or
its affiliates); and/or will entrust Executive with business opportunities of Company (or its
affiliates); and/or will place Executive in a position to develop business good will on behalf of
Company (or its affiliates).

     5.3 No Unauthorized Use or Disclosure. Executive agrees to preserve and protect the
confidentiality of all Confidential Information and Work Product of Company and its affiliates.
Executive agrees that he will not, at any time during or after the termination of Executive’s
employment with Company, make any unauthorized disclosure of, and shall prevent the removal from
Company premises of, Confidential Information or Work Product of Company or its affiliates, or make
any use thereof, except, in each case, in the carrying out of Executive’s responsibilities
hereunder. Executive shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all persons or entities to
whom any Confidential Information shall be disclosed by him hereunder to observe the terms and
conditions set forth herein as though each such person or entity was bound hereby. Executive shall
have no obligation hereunder to keep confidential any Confidential Information if and to the extent
disclosure thereof is specifically required by law; provided, however, that in the event disclosure
is required by applicable law, Executive shall provide Company with prompt notice of such
requirement prior to making any such disclosure, so that Company may seek an appropriate protective
order. At the request of Company at any time, Executive agrees to deliver to Company all
Confidential Information that he may possess or control. Executive agrees that all Confidential
Information of Company (whether now or hereafter existing) conceived, discovered or made by him
during the period of Executive’s employment by Company exclusively belongs to Company (and not to
Executive), and Executive will promptly disclose such Confidential Information to Company and
perform all actions reasonably requested by Company to establish and confirm such exclusive
ownership. Affiliates of Company shall be third party beneficiaries of Executive’s obligations
under this Article V. As a result of Executive’s employment by Company, Executive may also from
time to time have access to, or knowledge of, Confidential Information or Work Product of third
parties, such as customers, suppliers, partners, joint venturers, and the like, of Company and its
affiliates. Executive also agrees to preserve and protect the confidentiality of such third party
Confidential Information and Work Product to the same extent, and on the same basis, as Company’s
Confidential Information and Work Product.

     5.4 Ownership by Company. If, during Executive’s employment by Company, Executive
creates any work of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression that is the subject
matter of copyright (such as videotapes, written presentations, or acquisitions, computer programs,
E-mail, voice mail, electronic databases, drawings, maps, architectural renditions, models,
manuals, brochures, or the like) relating to Company’s business, products, or services, whether
such work is created solely by Executive or jointly with others (whether during business hours or
otherwise and whether on Company’s premises or otherwise), including any Work Product, Company
shall be deemed the author of such work if the work is prepared by Executive in the scope of
Executive’s employment; or, if the work is not prepared by Executive within the

9

 

scope of Executive’s employment but is specially ordered by Company as a contribution to a
collective work, as a part of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, as a translation, as a
supplementary work, as a compilation, or as an instructional text, then the work shall be
considered to be work made for hire and Company shall be the author of the work. If such work is
neither prepared by Executive within the scope of Executive’s employment nor a work specially
ordered that is deemed to be a work made for hire, then Executive hereby agrees to assign, and by
these presents does assign, to Company all of Executive’s worldwide right, title, and interest in
and to such work and all rights of copyright therein.

     5.5 Assistance by Executive. During the period of Executive’s employment by Company,
Executive shall assist Company and its nominee, at any time, in the protection of Company’s or its
affiliates’ worldwide right, title and interest in and to Confidential Information and Work Product
and the execution of all formal assignment documents requested by Company or its nominee and the
execution of all lawful oaths and applications for patents and registration of copyright in the
United States and foreign countries. After Executive’s employment with Company terminates, at the
request from time to time and expense of Company or its affiliates, Executive shall reasonably
assist Company and its nominee, at reasonable times and for reasonable periods and for reasonable
compensation, in the protection of Company’s or its affiliates’ worldwide right, title and interest
in and to Confidential Information and Work Product and the execution of all formal assignment
documents requested by Company or its nominee and the execution of all lawful oaths and
applications for patents and registration of copyright in the United States and foreign countries.

     5.6 Remedies. Executive acknowledges that money damages would not be sufficient remedy
for any breach of this Article V by Executive, and Company or its affiliates shall be entitled to
enforce the provisions of this Article V by terminating payments then owing to Executive under this
Agreement or otherwise and to specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for such
breach or any threatened breach. Such remedies shall not be deemed the exclusive remedies for a
breach of this Article V but shall be in addition to all remedies available at law or in equity,
including the recovery of damages from Executive and his agents. Executive specifically agrees
that (a) the provisions of this Article V are also for the benefit of IPS and I.E. Miller and (b)
IPS and I.E. Miller are third party beneficiaries of Executive’s obligations under this Article V.

period referred to above shall not commence for such option until the last day of a
30-trading day period following the Date of Termination during which the average closing

     (h) Company shall provide Executive with the additional benefits described in Section
7.4 hereof.

generally at any time during such Severance Payout Period or Change of Control Payout
Period, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive becomes re-employed and
is eligible to receive medical, dental and disability benefits under another employer’s
plans, Company’s obligations under this Section 7.4 shall be reduced to the extent
comparable benefits are actually received by Executive during the Severance Payout Period or
Change of Control Payout Period, as applicable, and any such benefits actually received by
Executive shall be promptly reported by Executive to Company. In the event Executive is
ineligible under the terms of Company’s benefit plans or programs to continue to be so
covered, Company shall provide Executive with substantially equivalent coverage through
other sources or will provide Executive with a lump sum payment in such amount that, after
all taxes on that amount, shall be equal to the cost to Executive of providing Executive
such benefit coverage. The lump sum shall be determined on a present value basis using the
interest rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”), on the Date of Termination. In addition, if such a lump sum payment
is payable, Company shall make an additional gross-up payment to Executive in an amount such
that the net amount of the lump sum payment and such additional gross-up payment retained by
Executive, after the calculation and deduction of all federal, state and local income tax
and employment tax (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes)
on such lump sum payment and additional gross-up payment, and taking into account any lost
or reduced tax deductions on account of such gross-up payment, shall be equal to such lump
sum payment.

     (b) Throughout the term of the Severance Payout Period or Change of Control Payout
Period, as applicable, Executive shall be entitled to receive outplacement services, payable
by Company, with an aggregate cost not to exceed 15% of Executive’s Termination Base Salary,
with an executive outplacement service firm reasonably acceptable to Company and Executive.

     (c) Throughout the Severance Payout Period or Change of Control Payout Period, as
applicable, Company shall continue to pay to Executive a monthly car allowance payable on a
regular payroll basis based on the amount of such allowance as in effect as of the Date of
Termination.

     7.5 No Duty to Mitigate Losses. Executive shall have no duty to find new employment
following the termination of his employment under circumstances which require Company to pay any
amount to Executive pursuant to this Article VII. Any salary or remuneration received by Executive
from a third party for the provision of personal services (whether by employment or by functioning
as an independent contractor) following the termination of his employment under circumstances
pursuant to which Sections 7.2 or 7.3 and

14

 

7.4 apply shall not reduce Company’s obligation to make a payment to Executive (or the amount
of such payment) pursuant to the terms of any such Section.

     7.6 Liquidated Damages. In light of the difficulties in estimating the damages for an
early termination of this Agreement, Company and Executive hereby agree that the payments, if any,
to be received by Executive pursuant to Sections 7.2 or 7.3 and 7.4 shall be received by Executive
as liquidated damages.

breaches its obligations under either Section 7.2 or 7.3 hereof (if and as applicable) (it being
understood and agreed, however, that Executive shall continue to be entitled to receive all
consideration required to be paid under Section 7.2 or 7.3 hereof (if and as applicable)).

15

 

     “Restricted Area” means the State of Texas and any other geographical area in which Company,
IPS, I.E. Miller or any of their respective subsidiaries engage in the Business during the period
during which Executive is employed hereunder.

     8.2 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation. Executive and Company agree to the
non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of this Article VIII (i) as part of the
consideration for the compensation and benefits to be paid to Executive hereunder, (ii) to protect
the trade secrets and confidential information of Company or its affiliates disclosed or entrusted
to Executive by Company or its affiliates or created or developed by Executive for Company or its
affiliates, the business goodwill of Company or its affiliates developed through the efforts of
Executive and/or the business opportunities disclosed or entrusted to Executive by Company or its
affiliates and (iii) as an additional incentive for Company to enter into this Agreement.

     (a) Subject to the exceptions set forth in section 8.2(b) below, Executive expressly
covenants and agrees that during the Prohibited Period, (i) he will refrain from carrying on
or engaging in, directly or indirectly, any Competing Business in the Restricted Area and
(ii) he will not, and he will cause his affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, own,
manage, operate, join, become an employee of, control or participate in or be connected with
or loan money to, sell or lease equipment to or sell or lease real property to any business,
individual, partnership, firm, corporation or other entity which engages in a Competing
Business in the Restricted Area.

     (b) Notwithstanding the restrictions contained in Section 8.2(a), Executive or any of
his affiliates may own an aggregate of not more than 2.5% of the outstanding stock of any
class of any corporation engaged in a Competing Business, if such stock is listed on a
national securities exchange or regularly traded in the over-the-counter market by a member
of a national securities exchange, without violating the provisions of Section 8.2(a),
provided that neither Executive nor any of his affiliates has the power, directly or
indirectly, to control or direct the management or affairs of any such corporation and is
not involved in the management of such corporation.

     (c) Executive further expressly covenants and agrees that during the Prohibited Period,
he will not, and he will cause his affiliates not to (i) engage or employ, or solicit or
contact with a view to the engagement or employment of, any person who is an officer or
employee of Company, IPS, I.E. Miller or any of their respective affiliates or (ii) canvass,
solicit, approach or entice away or cause to be canvassed, solicited, approached or enticed
away from Company, IPS, I.E. Miller or any of their respective subsidiaries any person who

employed by Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions of clause (i) of this
Section 8.2(c) shall not apply with respect to (A) an officer or employee whose employment
has been involuntarily terminated by his or her employer (other than for cause), (B) an
officer or employee who has voluntarily terminated employment with Company, IPS, I.E. Miller
and their respective affiliates and who has not been employed by any of such entities for at
least one year, (C) an employee who is paid on an hourly basis, or (D) an officer or
employee who responds to a general solicitation that is not specifically directed at
officers and employees of Company, IPS, I.E. Miller or any of their respective affiliates.

16

 

     8.3 Relief. Executive and Company agree and acknowledge that the limitations as to
time, geographical area and scope of activity to be restrained as set forth in Section 8.2 hereof
are reasonable and do not impose any greater restraint than is necessary to protect the legitimate
business interests of Company. Executive and Company also acknowledge that money damages would not
be sufficient remedy for any breach of this Article VIII by Executive, and Company or its
affiliates shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this Article VIII by terminating payments
then owing to Executive under this Agreement or otherwise and to specific performance and
injunctive relief as remedies for such breach or any threatened breach. Such remedies shall not be
deemed the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Article VIII but shall be in addition to all
remedies available at law or in equity, including the recovery of damages from Executive and his
agents.

     8.4 Reasonableness; Enforcement. Executive hereby represents to Company that he has
read and understands, and agrees to be bound by, the terms of this Article VIII. Executive
acknowledges that the geographic scope and duration of the covenants contained in this Article VIII
are the result of arm’s-length bargaining and are fair and reasonable in light of (a) the nature
and wide geographic scope of the operations of the Business, (b) Executive’s level of control over
and contact with the Business in all jurisdictions in which it is conducted, (c) the fact that the
Business is conducted throughout the Restricted Area and (d) the amount of compensation that
Executive is receiving in connection with the performance of his duties hereunder. It is the
desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Article VIII be enforced to the
fullest extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements, whether now or hereafter in effect
and therefore, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, Executive and Company
hereby waive any provision of applicable Legal Requirements that would render any provision of this
Article VIII invalid or unenforceable.

     8.5 References to IPS and I.E. Miller. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of
this Article VIII, (a) Executive’s obligations under this Article VIII with respect to IPS (and
references to IPS in the terms “Business,” “Competing Business” and “Restricted Area” in Section
8.1 hereof) for the period preceding the Combination shall apply only if, at the relevant time,
Executive is providing services to IPS as a director and/or consultant, (b) Executive’s obligations
under this Article VIII with respect to I.E. Miller (and references to I.E. Miller in the terms
“Business,” “Competing Business” and “Restricted Area” in Section 8.1 hereof) for the period
preceding the Combination shall apply only if, at the relevant time, Executive is providing
services to I.E. Miller as a director and/or consultant, (c) Executive’s obligations under this
Article VIII with respect to IPS (and references to IPS in the terms “Business,” “Competing
Business” and “Restricted Area” in Section 8.1 hereof) from and after the Combination shall apply
only if IPS was included in the Combination or if, at the relevant time, Executive is providing
services to IPS as a director and/or consultant, and (d) Executive’s obligations under this Article
VIII with respect to I.E. Miller (and references to I.E. Miller in the terms “Business,” “Competing
Business” and “Restricted Area” in Section 8.1 hereof) from and after the Combination shall apply
only if I.E. Miller was included in the Combination or if, at the relevant time, Executive is
providing services to I.E. Miller as a director and/or consultant. For purposes of the preceding
sentence, the phrase “at the relevant time” shall mean (i) with respect to the portion of the
Prohibited Period preceding the date of the termination of Executive’s employment with Company, the
period during which Executive is employed by Company, and (ii) with respect to the portion of the
Prohibited Period that begins on the date of termination of

17

 

Executive’s employment with Company, the date of such termination of employment. Subject to
the foregoing, Executive specifically agrees that (A) the provisions of this Article VIII are also
for the benefit of IPS and I.E. Miller and (B) IPS and I.E. Miller are third party beneficiaries of
Executive’s obligations under this Article VIII.

     8.6 Reformation. Company and Executive agree that the foregoing restrictions are
reasonable under the circumstances and that any breach of the covenants contained in this Article
VIII would cause irreparable injury to Company. Executive understands that the foregoing
restrictions may limit Executive’s ability to engage in certain businesses anywhere in the United
States during the Prohibited Period, but acknowledges that Executive will receive sufficiently high
remuneration and other benefits from Company to justify such restriction. Further, Executive
acknowledges that his skills are such that he can be gainfully employed in non-competitive
employment, and that the agreement not to compete will in no way prevent him from earning a living.
Nevertheless, if any of the aforesaid restrictions are found by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be unreasonable, or overly broad as to geographic area or time, or otherwise unenforceable, the
parties intend for the restrictions herein set forth to be modified by the court making such
determination so as to be reasonable and enforceable and, as so modified, to be fully enforced. By
agreeing to this contractual modification prospectively at this time, Company and Executive intend
to make this provision enforceable under the law or laws of all applicable States so that the
entire agreement not to compete and this Agreement as prospectively modified shall remain in full
force and effect and shall not be rendered void or illegal. Such modification shall not affect the
payments made to Executive under this Agreement.

ARTICLE
IX
EXCISE TAXES AND GROSS-UP PAYMENTS

     9.1 Excise Taxes and Gross-up Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, in the event that any payment, distribution or provision of a benefit by Company to
or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable, distributed or distributable or provided
or to be provided pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (a “Payment”), would be
subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or any interest or penalties with
respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest or penalties, are
hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), Company shall pay to Executive an
additional payment (a “Gross-up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by Executive of all
taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including any
Excise Tax imposed on any Gross-up Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Gross-up Payment
equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments. Company and Executive shall make an initial
determination as to whether a Gross-up Payment is required and the amount of any such Gross-up
Payment. Executive shall notify Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service
which, if successful, would require Company to make a Gross-up Payment (or a Gross-up Payment in
excess of that, if any, initially determined by Company and Executive) within five days of the
receipt of such claim. Company shall notify Executive in writing at least five days prior to the
due date of any response required with respect to such claim if it plans to contest the claim. If
Company decides to contest such claim, Executive shall cooperate fully with Company in such action;
provided, however, Company shall bear and pay directly or indirectly all costs and expenses
(including additional interest and

18

 

penalties) incurred in connection with such action and shall indemnify and hold Executive
harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax, including interest and penalties
with respect thereto, imposed as a result of Company’s action. If, as a result of Company’s action
with respect to a claim, Executive receives a refund of any amount paid by Company with respect to
such claim, Executive shall promptly pay such refund to Company. If Company fails to timely notify
Executive whether it will contest such claim or Company determines not to contest such claim, then
Company shall immediately pay to Executive the portion of such claim, if any, which it has not
previously paid to Executive.

ARTICLE
X
DISPUTE RESOLUTION

     10.1 Dispute Resolution. If any dispute arises out of this Agreement, the “complaining
party” shall give the “other party” written notice of such dispute. The other party shall have 10
business days to resolve the dispute to the complaining party’s satisfaction. If the dispute is
not resolved by the end of such period, the complaining party may by written notice (the “Notice”)
demand arbitration of the dispute as set out below, and each party hereto expressly agrees to
submit to, and be bound by, such arbitration.

     (a) Each party will, within 10 business days of the Notice, nominate an arbitrator.
Each nominated arbitrator must be someone experienced in dispute resolution and of good
character without moral turpitude and not within the employ or direct or indirect influence
of the nominating party. The two nominated arbitrators will, within 10 business days of
nomination, agree upon a third arbitrator. If the two appointed arbitrators cannot agree on
a third arbitrator within such period, the parties may seek such an appointment through any
permitted court proceeding or by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The three
arbitrators will set the rules and timing of the arbitration, but will generally follow the
rules of the AAA and this Agreement where same are applicable and shall provide for written
fact findings.

     (b) The arbitration hearing will in no event take place more than 90 days after the
appointment of the third arbitrator.

     (c) The arbitration will take place in Houston, Texas unless otherwise unanimously
agreed to by the parties.

     (d) The results of the arbitration and the decision of the arbitrators will be final
and binding on the parties and each party agrees and acknowledges that these results shall
be enforceable in a court of law.

ARTICLE
XI

at any prior or subsequent time.

     11.5 Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision
of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, then the invalidity or unenforceability of that
provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement,
and all other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

     11.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
