Section 1.05. Acts of Holders. (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be
embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such
Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise
expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are
delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company, as described
in  Section 13.02. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced
thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of Holders signing such instrument or
instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent
shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and
the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument or writing may be
proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or
other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual
signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to such officer the execution thereof. Where such
execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than such signer’s individual capacity, such
certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of such signer’s authority. The
fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the person
executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

(c) The principal amount and serial number of any Security and the ownership of Securities
shall be proved by the register for the Securities.

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the
Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every
Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu
thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company
in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

(e) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its option, by or pursuant to
a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give
such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the
Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such
record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be
deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of
outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand,
authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the outstanding Securities shall be
computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the
Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to
the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date.

 

13

 

Section 1.06. References to Interest. Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference

include Additional Interest, if, in such context, Additional Interest is, was or would be payable
pursuant to either of  Section 5.07 and  Section 7.02. Unless the context otherwise requires, any
express mention of Additional Interest in any provision hereof shall not be construed as excluding
Additional Interest in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

ARTICLE 2

The Securities

Section 2.01. Form and Dating. (a) The Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibits A and B, which are a part of this
Indenture. The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock
exchange rule or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement required by usage is
in a form acceptable to the Company). The Company shall provide any such notations, legends or
endorsements to the Trustee in writing. Each Security shall be dated the date of its
authentication. The Securities may, but need not, have the corporate seal of the Company or a
facsimile thereof affixed thereto or imprinted thereon.

(b) 144A Global Securities. Securities offered and sold within the United States to qualified
institutional buyers as defined in Rule 144A (“QIBs”) in reliance on Rule 144A shall be issued,
initially in the form of a 144A Global Security, which shall be deposited with the Trustee at its
Corporate Trust Office, as custodian for the Depositary (as defined below) and registered in the
name of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or the nominee thereof (DTC, or any successor thereto,
and any such nominee being hereinafter referred to as the “Depositary”), duly executed by the
Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided. The aggregate principal amount
of the 144A Global Securities may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made
on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary as hereinafter provided.

 

14

 

(c) Global Securities in General. Each Global Security shall represent such amount of the
outstanding Securities as shall be specified therein and each shall provide that it shall represent
the aggregate amount of outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed in the Schedule of
Increases and Decreases of Global Security attached thereto and that the aggregate amount of
outstanding Securities
represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect
exchanges, repurchases and conversions. Each Global Security shall bear the Global Securities
legend as set forth below:

UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST
COMPANY TO THE ISSUER OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT, AND ANY
CERTIFICATE ISSUED IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF CEDE & CO. OR IN SUCH OTHER NAME AS IS REQUESTED BY
AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (AND ANY PAYMENT HEREON IS MADE TO
CEDE & CO. OR TO SUCH OTHER ENTITY AS IS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE
DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO
ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL SINCE THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

TRANSFERS OF THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS TO NOMINEES OF THE DEPOSITORY
TRUST COMPANY, OR TO A SUCCESSOR THEREOF OR SUCH SUCCESSOR’S NOMINEE AND TRANSFERS OF PORTIONS OF
THIS GLOBAL SECURITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO TRANSFERS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RESTRICTIONS SET
FORTH IN ARTICLE TWO OF THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO ON THE REVERSE HEREOF.

Any adjustment of the aggregate principal amount of a Global Security to reflect the amount of
any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made
by the Trustee in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof as required by  Section
2.12 hereof, and shall be made on the records of the Trustee and the Depositary.

(d) Book-Entry Provisions. This  Section 2.01(d) shall apply only to Global Securities
deposited with or on behalf of the Depositary.

The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this  Section 2.01(d),
authenticate and deliver initially one or more Global Securities that (a) shall be registered in
the name of the Depositary or a nominee thereof, (b) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the
Depositary or held by the Trustee pursuant to the Depositary’s instructions and (c) shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto.

(e) Certificated Securities. Securities not issued as interests in the Global Securities
shall be issued in certificated form substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto.

 

15

 

Section 2.02. Execution and Authentication. The Securities shall be executed on behalf of
the Company by one Officer. The signature of such Officer on the Securities may be manual or
facsimile.

Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signature of an individual who was, at the time of
the execution of the Securities, an Officer shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such
individual has ceased to hold such office prior to the authentication and delivery of such
Securities or did not hold such office at the date of authentication of such Securities.

No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory
for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially
in the form provided for herein duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized
signatory, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Securities for original issue in an aggregate
principal amount of up to $130,000,000 upon one or more Company Orders without any further action
by the Company (other than the Officer’s Certificate to be provided in accordance with  Section
13.04 and  Section 13.05 hereof). Subject to the provisions of  Section 2.08, the aggregate
principal amount of the Securities due at the Stated Maturity thereof outstanding at any time may
not exceed the amount set forth in the foregoing sentence.

The Securities shall be issued only in registered form without coupons and only in
denominations of $1,000 of principal amount and any integral multiple of $1,000.

Section 2.03. Registrar, Paying Agent, Bid Solicitation Agent, and Conversion Agent. The
Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of
transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”), an office or agency where Securities may be presented for
purchase or payment (“Paying Agent”) and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for
conversion (“Conversion Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of
their transfer and exchange. The Company may have one or more co-registrars, one or more
additional paying agents, one or more additional bid solicitation agents and one or more additional
conversion agents. The term Paying Agent includes any additional paying agent, including any named
pursuant to  Section 5.05. The term “Conversion Agent” includes any additional conversion agent,
including any named pursuant to  Section 5.05.

The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar, Paying Agent,
Conversion Agent, Bid Solicitation Agent or co-registrar (in each case, if such Registrar, agent or
co-registrar is a Person other than the Trustee). The agreement shall implement the provisions of
this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of the
name
and address of any such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent,
Bid Solicitation Agent or Conversion Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to
appropriate compensation therefore pursuant to  Section 8.07. The Company or any Subsidiary or an
Affiliate of either of them may act as Paying Agent, Registrar, Conversion Agent or co-registrar.

 

16

 

The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Conversion Agent, Bid Solicitation
Agent and Paying Agent in connection with the Securities. In connection with its initial
appointment as Bid Solicitation Agent, the Trustee will determine the Trading Price of the
Securities in connection with any conversion on satisfaction of trading price condition as set
forth in  Section 11.01(a)(2).

Section 2.04. Paying Agent to Hold Money and Securities in Trust. Except as otherwise
provided herein, on or prior to each due date of payments in respect of any Security, the Company
shall deposit with the Paying Agent a sum of money (in immediately available funds if deposited on
the due date) or shares of Common Stock sufficient to make such payments when so becoming due. The
Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that the
Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Securityholders or the Trustee all money and
shares of Common Stock held by the Paying Agent for the making of payments in respect of the
Securities and shall promptly notify the Trustee of any Default by the Company in making any such
payment. At any time during the continuance of any such Default, the Paying Agent shall, upon the
written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all money and shares of Common Stock
so held in trust. If the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them acts as Paying
Agent, it shall segregate the money and shares of Common Stock held by it as Paying Agent and hold
it as a separate trust fund. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money
and shares of Common Stock held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds and Common Stock
disbursed by it. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money or
shares of Common Stock.

Section 2.05. Securityholder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve the most recent list
available to it of the names and addresses of Securityholders. If the Trustee is not the
Registrar, the Company shall cause to be furnished to the Trustee at least semiannually on March 15
and September 15 a listing of Securityholders dated within 15 days of the date on which the list is
furnished and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list in such form and as
of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Securityholders.

 

17

 

Section 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. (a) Subject to  Section 2.12 hereof, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Security, together with a written instrument of transfer
satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Securityholder or such Securityholder’s attorney
duly authorized in writing, at the office or agency of the Company designated as Registrar or
co-registrar pursuant to
 Section 2.03, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in
the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of any authorized
denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount. The Company shall not charge
a service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment
of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges that may be imposed
in connection with the transfer or exchange of the Securities from the Securityholder requesting
such transfer or exchange.

At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any
authorized denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount upon surrender of
the Securities to be exchanged, together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the
Registrar duly executed by the Securityholder or such Securityholder’s attorney duly authorized in
writing, at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the
Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

The Company shall not be required to make, and the Registrar need not register, transfers or
exchanges of any Securities in respect of which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been
given and not withdrawn by the Holder thereof in accordance with the terms of this Indenture
(except, in the case of Securities to be repurchased in part, the portion thereof not to be
repurchased).

(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Global Security remains
outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depositary, transfers of a Global Security, in whole
or in part, shall be made only in accordance with  Section 2.12 and this  Section 2.06(b).
Transfers of a Global Security shall, except as set forth in  Section 2.12, be limited to transfers
of such Global Security in whole or in part, to the Depositary, to nominees of the Depositary or to
a successor of the Depositary or such successor’s nominee.

(c) Successive registrations and registrations of transfers and exchanges as aforesaid may be
made from time to time as desired, and each such registration shall be noted on the register for
the Securities.

(d) Except as otherwise set forth in this Indenture, any such action taken by a Holder shall
be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Security
and of any Securities issued in exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether any
notation in regard thereto is made upon such Security or any Security issued in exchange or
substitution therefore.

(e) Any Registrar appointed pursuant to  Section 2.03 hereof shall provide to the Trustee such
information as the Trustee may reasonably require in connection with the delivery by such Registrar
of Securities upon transfer or exchange of Securities.

 

18

 

(f) No Registrar shall be required to make registrations of transfer or exchange of Securities
during any periods designated in the text of the Securities or in this Indenture as periods during
which such registration of transfers and exchanges need not be made.

(g) If Securities are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities subject
to restrictions on transfer and bearing the legends relating to such restrictions imposed by the
securities laws set forth on the form of Security attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Legend”), or
if a request is made to remove the Legend on a Security, the Securities so issued shall bear the
Legend, or the Legend shall not be removed, as the case may be, unless there is delivered to the
Company and the Registrar such satisfactory evidence, which shall include an opinion of counsel, as
may be reasonably required by the Company and the Registrar and the Trustee (if not the same Person
as the Registrar), that neither the Legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are
required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144 under the
Securities Act or that such Securities are not “restricted” within the meaning of Rule 144 under
the Securities Act. Upon (i) provision of such satisfactory evidence, or (ii) notification by the
Company to the Trustee and Registrar of the sale of such Security pursuant to a registration
statement that is effective at the time of such sale, the Trustee, at the written direction of the
Company, shall authenticate and deliver a Security that does not bear the Legend. If the Legend is
removed from the face of a Security and the Security is subsequently held by the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company, the Legend shall be reinstated.

Section 2.07. Replacement Securities. If (a) any mutilated Security is surrendered to the
Trustee, or (b) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee
such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its written request the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Security or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or
stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a certificate number
not contemporaneously outstanding.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to
become due and payable, or is about to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to  Article 3 hereof,
the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay or purchase such
Security, as the case may be.

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

 

19

 

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

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

Section 2.08. Outstanding Securities; Determinations of Holders’ Action. Securities
outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those
cancelled by it, those purchased pursuant to  Section 2.07, those delivered to it for cancellation
and those described in this  Section 2.08 as not outstanding. A Security does not cease to be
outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate thereof holds the Security; provided, however, that
in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Securities have given or
concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, or other Act
hereunder, Securities owned by the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or any
Affiliate of the Company or such other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be
outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any
such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act, only
Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be so
disregarded. Subject to the foregoing, only Securities outstanding at the time of such
determination shall be considered in any such determination (including, without limitation,
determinations pursuant to  Article 7 and  Article 10).

If a Security is replaced pursuant to  Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the
Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide
purchaser.

If the Paying Agent holds, in accordance with this Indenture, on the Business Day immediately
following a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, or on Stated Maturity, money or securities, if
permitted hereunder, sufficient to pay Securities payable on that date, then from and after such
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, such Securities shall
cease to be outstanding and Interest on such Securities shall cease to accrue.

If a Security is converted in accordance with  Article 11, then from and after the time of
conversion on the date of conversion, such Security shall cease to be outstanding and Interest
shall cease to accrue, and the rights of the Holders therein shall terminate (other than the right
to receive the Conversion Settlement Distribution).

Section 2.09. Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of Certificated Securities, the
Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary
Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any
authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the Certificated Securities in lieu of which
they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations
as the Officers executing such Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their
execution of such Securities.

If temporary Securities are issued, the Company shall cause Certificated Securities to be
prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Certificated Securities, the
temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for Certificated Securities upon surrender of the
temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose pursuant to
 Section 2.03, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more
temporary Securities the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefore a like principal amount of Certificated Securities of authorized denominations.
Until so exchanged the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits
under this Indenture as Certificated Securities.

Section 2.10. Cancellation. All Securities surrendered for payment, purchase by the Company
pursuant to   Article 3, conversion or registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered
to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled
by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities
previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner
whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. The
Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has paid or delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation other than in connection with registrations of transfer or exchange or that any
Holder has converted pursuant to  Article 11. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or
in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted
by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the
Trustee in accordance with the Trustee’s customary procedure.

Section 2.11. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration
of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of
receiving payment of the principal amount of the Security or any portion thereof, or the payment of
the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price in respect thereof, and Interest thereon, for the purpose
of conversion and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and
neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.

or the Securities, (A) transfers of a Global Security, in whole or in part, shall be made only in
accordance with  Section 2.06 and  Section 2.12(a)(i) below, (B) transfers of a beneficial interest
in a Global Security for a Certificated Security shall comply with  Section 2.06 and  Section
2.12(a)(ii) below and  Section 2.12(e) below, and (C) transfers of a Certificated Security shall
comply with  Section 2.06,  Section 2.12(a)(iii) and  Section 2.12(a)(iv) below.

(i) Transfer of Global Security. A Global Security may not be transferred, in whole
or in part, to any Person other than the Depositary or a nominee or any successor thereof,
and no such transfer to any such other Person may be registered; provided that this
 Section 2.12(a)(i) shall not prohibit any transfer of a Security that is issued in
exchange for a Global Security but is not itself a Global Security. No transfer of a
Security to any Person shall be effective under this Indenture or the Securities unless and
until such Security has been registered in the name of such Person. Nothing in this
 Section 2.12(a)(i) shall prohibit or render ineffective any transfer of a beneficial
interest in a Global Security effected in accordance with the other provisions of this
 Section 2.12.

(ii) Restrictions on Transfer of a Beneficial Interest in a Global Security for a
Certificated Security. A beneficial interest in a Global Security may not be exchanged for
a Certificated Security except upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this
clause  (ii) below and in  Section 2.12(e) below. Upon receipt by the Trustee of a request
to transfer a beneficial interest in a Global Security in accordance with Applicable
Procedures for a Certificated Security in the form satisfactory to the Trustee, together
with:

(A) so long as the Securities are Restricted Securities, certification in
the form set forth in Exhibit C;

(B) written instructions to the Trustee to make, or direct the Registrar to
make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Security
to reflect a decrease in the aggregate principal amount of the Securities
represented by the Global Security, such instructions to contain information
regarding the Depositary account to be decreased; and

(C) if the Company or the Trustee so requests, an opinion of counsel or
other evidence reasonably satisfactory to it as to the compliance with the
restrictions set forth in the Legend,

then the Trustee shall cause, or direct the Registrar to cause, in accordance with the
standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Registrar, the
aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented by the Global Security to be
decreased by the
aggregate principal amount of the Certificated Security to be issued, shall issue such
Certificated Security and shall debit or cause to be debited to the account of the Person
specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Global Security equal to the
principal amount of the Certificated Security so issued.

 

22

 

(iii) Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Securities. When Certificated Securities
are presented to the Registrar with a request:

(y) to register the transfer of such Certificated Securities; or

(z) to exchange such Certificated Securities for an equal principal amount of
Certificated Securities of other authorized denominations,

the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its
reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the
Certificated Securities surrendered for transfer or exchange:

(1) shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, duly executed by
the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing; and

(2) so long as such Securities are Restricted Securities, such Securities are
being transferred or exchanged pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act or pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C) below, and are
accompanied by the following additional information and documents, as applicable:

(A) if such Certificated Securities are being delivered to the Registrar
by a Holder for registration in the name of such Holder, without transfer, a
certification from such Holder to that effect; or

(B) if such Certificated Securities are being transferred to the
Company, a certification to that effect; or

(C) if such Certificated Securities are being transferred pursuant to an
exemption from registration, (i) a certification to that effect (in the form
set forth in Exhibit C, if applicable) and (ii) if the Company or the Trustee
so requests, an opinion of counsel or other evidence reasonably satisfactory
to it as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the Legend.

 

23

 

(iv) Restrictions on Transfer or Exchange of a Certificated Security for a Beneficial
Interest in a Global Security. A Certificated Security may not be transferred or exchanged
for a beneficial interest in a Global Security except upon satisfaction of the requirements
set forth below.

Upon receipt by the Trustee of a Certificated Security, duly endorsed or accompanied
by appropriate instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, together with:

(I) so long as the Securities are Restricted Securities, certification, in the form set
forth in Exhibit C, that such Certificated Security (A) is being transferred to a QIB in
accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act or (B) is being transferred pursuant to
and in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act or another exemption from the
securities laws (which is documented to the Company’s satisfaction); and

(II) written instructions directing the Trustee to make, or to direct the Registrar to
make, an adjustment on its books and records with respect to such Global Security to
reflect an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Securities represented by the
Global Security, such instructions to contain information regarding the Depositary account
to be credited with such increase, then the Trustee shall cancel such Certificated Security
and cause, or direct the Registrar to cause, in accordance with the standing instructions
and procedures existing between the Depositary and the Registrar, the aggregate principal
amount of Securities represented by the Global Security to be increased by the aggregate
principal amount of the Certificated Security to be exchanged, and shall credit or cause to
be credited to the account of the person specified in such instructions a beneficial
interest in the Global Security equal to the principal amount of the Certificated Security
so cancelled. If no Global Securities are then outstanding, the Company shall issue and
the Trustee shall authenticate, upon written order of the Company in the form of an
Officer’s Certificate, a new Global Security in the appropriate principal amount.

(b) Subject to the succeeding   Section 2.12(c), every Security shall be subject to the
restrictions on transfer provided in the Legend including the delivery of an opinion of counsel, if
so provided. Whenever any Restricted Security is presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or for exchange for a Security registered in a name other than that of the Holder, such
Security must be accompanied by a certificate in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit C,
dated the date of such surrender and signed by the Holder of such Security, as to compliance with
such restrictions on transfer. The Registrar shall not be required to accept for such registration
of transfer or exchange any Security not so accompanied by a properly completed certificate.

 

24

 

(c) The restrictions imposed by the Legend upon the transferability of any Security shall
cease and terminate when such Security is no longer a “restricted security” for purpose of the
Securities Act. Any Security as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in
accordance with their terms or shall have terminated may, upon a surrender of such Security for
exchange to the Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this  Section 2.12 (accompanied, in
the event that such restrictions on transfer have terminated by reason of a transfer in compliance
with Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any successor provision, by an opinion of counsel having
substantial experience in practice under the Securities Act and otherwise reasonably acceptable to
the Company and the Trustee, addressed to the Company and the Trustee and in form acceptable to the
Company and the Trustee, to the effect that the transfer of such Security has been made in
compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act or such successor provision), be exchanged for a
new Security, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not bear the Legend. The
Company shall inform the Trustee of the effective date of any registration statement registering
the Securities under the Securities Act. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the aforementioned opinion of counsel or
registration statement.

(d) As used in the preceding two paragraphs of this  Section 2.12, the term “transfer”
encompasses any sale, pledge, transfer, loan, hypothecation, or other disposition of any Security.

(e) The provisions of clauses  (i),  (ii),  (iii),  (iv) and  (v) below shall apply only to
Global Securities:

(i) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture or the Securities, a Global
Security shall not be exchanged in whole or in part for a Security registered in the name
of any Person other than the Depositary or one or more nominees thereof, provided that a
Global Security may be exchanged for Securities registered in the names of any Persons
designated by the Depositary in the event that (i) the Depositary has notified the Company
that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or such
Depositary has ceased to be a “clearing agency” registered under Exchange Act, and a
successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days (ii) the Company
determines at any time that the Securities shall no longer be represented by Global
Securities and shall inform such Depositary of such determination in writing or (iii) a
Default has occurred and is continuing. Any Global Security exchanged pursuant to clause
 (i) above shall be so exchanged in whole and not in part, and any Global Security
exchanged pursuant to clauses  (ii) or  (iii) above may be exchanged in whole or from time
to time in part as directed by the Depositary. Any Security issued in exchange for a
Global Security or any portion thereof shall be a Global Security; provided that any such
Security so issued that is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary
or a nominee thereof or any successor of either of the foregoing pursuant to this
paragraph shall not be a Global Security.

 

25

 

(ii) Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall
be issued in definitive, fully registered form, shall have an aggregate principal amount
equal to that of such Global Security or portion thereof to be so exchanged, shall be
registered in such names and be in such authorized denominations as the Depositary shall
designate and shall bear the applicable legends provided for herein. Any Global Security
to be exchanged in whole shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Registrar. With
regard to any Global Security to be exchanged in part, either such Global Security shall be
so surrendered for exchange or, if the Trustee is acting as custodian for the Depositary or
its nominee with respect to such Global Security, the principal amount thereof shall be
reduced by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of an
appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee. Upon any such surrender or
adjustment, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Security issuable on such
exchange to or upon the order of the Depositary or an authorized representative thereof.

(iii) Subject to the provisions of clause  (v) below, the registered Holder may grant
proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members (as defined below) and
persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is
entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities.

(iv) In the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in clause  (i)
above, the Company shall promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of
Certificated Securities in definitive, fully registered form.

(v) Neither any members of, or participants in, the Depositary (collectively, the
“Agent Members”) nor any other Persons on whose behalf Agent Members may act shall have any
rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security registered in the name of
the Depositary or any nominee thereof, or under any such Global Security, and the
Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee
and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global
Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall
prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving
effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the
Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the Depositary, its
Agent Members and any other Person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation
of customary
practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any
Security.

 

26

 

(vi) Except as expressly set forth in this Indenture, including Sections  2.12(a)(ii)
and  2.12(e), none of the Trustee, any Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, the Company or the
Registrar shall have any responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner in the Global
Securities, a member of, or a participant in the Depositary or other Person with respect to
the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any participant or
member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Global Securities or with
respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other
than the Depositary) of any notice or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to
such Global Securities. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all
payments to be made to Holders under the Securities shall be given or made only to or upon
the order of the registered Holders (which shall be, in the case of a Global Security, the
Depositary or its nominee). The rights of beneficial owners in the Global Securities shall
be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the applicable rules and procedures of
the Depositary. Other than as set forth in this Indenture, the Trustee, any Paying Agent,
the Conversion Agent, the Company and the Registrar may rely and shall be fully protected
in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members,
participants and any beneficial owners. Except as expressly set forth in this Indenture,
including Sections  2.12(a)(ii) and  2.12(e), the Trustee, each Paying Agent, the
Conversion Agent, the Company and the Registrar shall be entitled to deal with any
depositary (including the Depositary), and any nominee thereof, that is the Holder of any
Global Securities as a Holder for all purposes of this Indenture relating to such Global
Securities (including the payment of principal and Interest, and the giving of instructions
or directions by or to the owner or Holder of a beneficial ownership interest in such
Global Securities) as the sole Holder of such Global Securities and shall have no
obligations to the beneficial owners thereof. None of the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the
Conversion Agent, the Company or the Registrar shall have any responsibility or liability
for any acts or omissions of any such depositary with respect to such Global Securities,
for the records of any such depositary, including records in respect of beneficial
ownership interests in respect of any such Global Securities, for any transactions between
such depositary and any participant in such depositary or between or among any such
depositary, any such participant and/or any holder or owner of a beneficial interest in
such Global Securities or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any such Global
Securities.

 

27

 

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

The Trustee shall have no responsibility for the actions or omissions of the Depositary, or
the accuracy of the books and records of the Depositary.

Section 2.13. CUSIP Numbers. The Company may issue the Securities with one or more “CUSIP”,
“ISIN” or other similar numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use
“CUSIP”, “ISIN” or other similar numbers in all notices issued to Holders as a convenience to
Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the
correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice and
that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities.
The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar
numbers.

entry transfer of the Securities or delivering Certificated Securities, together with
necessary endorsements, as the case may be) to collect payment;

(ix) that the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for any Security as to which a
Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been duly given and not withdrawn shall be paid

such Company Notice shall be prepared by the Company.

(c) A Holder may exercise its rights specified in this  Section 3.01 upon delivery of a
written notice of repurchase (a “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) to the Paying Agent at any
time on or prior to the close of business on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, stating:

specified in Section 6 of the Securities and in this Indenture.

The delivery of such Security (together with all necessary endorsements) to the Paying Agent
with the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice at the offices of the Paying Agent shall be a
condition to the receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor;
provided, however, that such Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this

at the date of this Indenture or thereafter incurred; (ii) pari passu in right of payment to all
Senior Subordinated Debt and (iii) senior in right of payment to all Subordinated Debt.

No provision of this  Article 4 shall prevent the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default hereunder.

Section 4.02. Payments to Holders. No payment shall be made with respect to the principal
of, or Interest on the Securities (including, but not limited to the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Price with respect to the Securities subject to repurchase in accordance with  Article 3 and any
payment of cash upon conversion in accordance with  Article 11), except payments and distributions
made by the Trustee as permitted by the first or second paragraph of  Section 4.08, if:

(a) any principal, premium, if any, or interest with respect to Designated Senior
Indebtedness is not paid within any applicable grace period (including at maturity), or

 

33

 

(b) any other default on Designated Senior Indebtedness occurs and the maturity of
such Designated Senior Indebtedness is accelerated in accordance with its terms,

unless, in either case,

	 	(i)	 	the default has been cured or waived and such acceleration
has been rescinded,

	 	(ii)	 	such Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash, or

	 	(iii)	 	the Company and the Trustee receive written notice
approving such payment from the representatives of each issue of
Designated Senior Indebtedness.

During any default (other than a default described in clause (a) or (b) above of this  Section
4.02) on any Designated Senior Indebtedness under which the maturity of the Designated Senior
Indebtedness may be accelerated without further notice (except any notice required to effect the
acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace periods, the Company may not make payments
on the Securities for a period (the “Payment Blockage Period”) starting on the date of receipt by
the Company and the Trustee of written notice of the election to effect a Payment Blockage Period
and ending 179 days thereafter. The Payment Blockage Period may be terminated before its expiration
by written notice by a representative of the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness to the
Trustee and to the Company from the Person who gave the blockage notice, by repayment in full in
cash of the Designated Senior Indebtedness with respect to which the blockage notice was given, or
because the default giving rise to the Payment Blockage Period is no longer continuing or has been
waived. Unless the holders of the Designated Senior Indebtedness have accelerated the maturity of
the Designated Senior Indebtedness, the Company may resume payments on the Securities after the
expiration of the Payment Blockage Period. Not more than one blockage notice may be given in any
period of 360 consecutive days unless the first blockage notice within such 360-day period is given
by or on behalf of holders of Designated Senior Indebtedness other than the Bank Indebtedness, in
which case the representative of the Bank Indebtedness may give another blockage notice within such
period. In no event, however, may the total number of days during which any Payment Blockage Period
or Payment Blockage Periods are in effect exceed 179 days in the aggregate during any period of 360
consecutive days. No default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any payment
blockage notice to the Trustee will be, or can be made, the basis for the commencement of a
subsequent Payment Blockage Period whether or not within a period of 360 consecutive days.

 

34

 

Upon any payment by the Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or
character, whether in cash, property or securities, to
creditors upon any dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization of the Company
(whether voluntary or involuntary) or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar
proceedings, all amounts due or to become due upon all Senior Indebtedness shall first be paid in
full in cash, or other payments satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, before any
payment of cash, property or securities is made on account of the principal of or Interest on, or
with respect to the conversion of, the Securities (except as permitted by  Section 4.08); and upon
any such dissolution or winding-up or liquidation or reorganization of the Company or bankruptcy,
insolvency, receivership or other proceeding, any payment by the Company, or distribution of assets
of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the
Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled, except for the provisions of this
 Article 4, shall (except as aforesaid) be paid by the Company or by any receiver, trustee in
bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, or by
the Holders of the Securities or by the Trustee under this Indenture if received by them or it,
directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the
respective amounts of Senior Indebtedness held by such holders, or as otherwise required by law or
a court order) or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any
indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any Senior Indebtedness may have been
issued, as their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior
Indebtedness in full in cash, or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness,
after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior
Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution is made to the Holders of the Securities or to the
Trustee.

The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another corporation
or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance, transfer or lease of all
or substantially all its property to another corporation upon the terms and conditions provided for
in  Article 6 shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the
purposes of this  Section 4.02 if such other corporation shall, as a part of such consolidation,
merger, conveyance, transfer or lease, comply with the conditions stated in  Article 6.

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

In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any payment or distribution of
assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (including,
without limitation, by way of setoff or otherwise), prohibited by the foregoing, shall be received
by the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, in
cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, or provision is made for
such payment thereof in accordance with its terms in cash or other payment satisfactory
to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for
the benefit of and shall be paid over or delivered to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their
Representative or Representatives, as their respective interests may appear, as calculated by the
Company, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid to the extent
necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full, in cash or other payment satisfactory to the
holders of Senior Indebtedness or their Representative, after giving effect to any concurrent
payment or distribution to or for the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

 

35

 

Nothing in this  Section 4.02 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or
pursuant to  Section 7.10 and  Section 8.07. This  Section 4.02 shall be subject to the further
provisions of  Section 4.08.

Section 4.03. Subrogation of Securities. Subject to the payment in full, in cash or other
payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, of all Senior Indebtedness, the rights
of the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the extent of the payments or distributions
made to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of this  Article 4
(equally and ratably with the holders of all Senior Subordinated Indebtedness) to the rights of the
holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities
of the Company applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until the principal and Interest on the
Securities shall be paid in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of
Securities; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders
of the Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which the Holders of the
Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this  Article 4, and no
payment pursuant to the provisions of this  Article 4, to or for the benefit of the holders of
Senior Indebtedness by Holders of the Securities or the Trustee, shall, as between the Company, its
creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed
to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness; and no payments or
distributions of cash, property or securities to or for the benefit of the Holders of the
Securities pursuant to the subrogation provisions of this  Article 4, which would otherwise have
been paid to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company to
or for the account of the Securities. It is understood that the provisions of this  Article 4 are
and are intended solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the
Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand.

Nothing contained in this  Article 4 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is
intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior
Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute
and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of and Interest on the
Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is
intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities and
creditors of the Company other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything
herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies
otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if
any, under this  Article 4 of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or
securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

 

36

 

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this  Article 4, the
Trustee, subject to the provisions of  Section 8.01, and the Holders of the Securities shall be
entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such
bankruptcy, dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a
certificate of the receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person
making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Securities,
for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the
holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or
payable thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this  Article 4.

Section 4.04. Authorization to Effect Subordination. Each Holder of a Security by the
Holder’s acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on the Holder’s behalf to take such
action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this
 Article 4 and appoints the Trustee to act as the Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such
purposes. If the Trustee does not file a proper proof of claim or proof of debt in the form
required in any proceeding referred to in  Section 4.03 hereof at least 30 days before the
expiration of the time to file such claim, the holders of any Senior Indebtedness or their
representatives are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders
of the Securities.

Section 4.05. Notice to Trustee. The Company shall give prompt written notice in the form of
an Officer’s Certificate to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee and to any Paying Agent of any
fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the
Trustee or any Paying Agent in respect of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this
 Article 4. Notwithstanding the provisions of this  Article 4 or any other provision of this
Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which
would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee in respect of the
Securities pursuant to the provisions of this  Article 4, unless and until a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof at the Corporate Trust Office from the
Company (in the form of an Officer’s Certificate) or a Representative or a Holder or Holders of
Senior Indebtedness or from any trustee thereof; and before the receipt of any such written notice,
the Trustee, subject to the provisions of  Section 8.01, shall be entitled in all respects to
assume that no such facts exist; provided that, if on a date not less than two Business Days prior
to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such
monies may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the
principal of or Interest on any Security) the Trustee shall not have received, with respect to such
monies, the notice provided for in this  Section 4.05, then, anything herein contained to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such monies
and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any
notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or after such prior date.

 

37

 

The Trustee, subject to the provisions of  Section 8.01, shall be entitled to rely on the
delivery to it of a written notice by a Representative or a Person representing himself to be a
holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice
has been given by a Representative or a holder of Senior Indebtedness. In the event that the
Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any
Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to
this  Article 4, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent
to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts
pertinent to the rights of such Person under this  Article 4, and if such evidence is not furnished
the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of
such Person to receive such payment.

Section 4.06. Trustee’s Relation to Senior Indebtedness. The Trustee in its individual
capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this  Article 4 in respect of any Senior
Indebtedness at any time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness,
and nothing in  Section 8.11 or elsewhere in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its
rights as such holder.

With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to
observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this  Article
4, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall
be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any
fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness and, subject to the provisions of  Section
8.01, the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of Senior Indebtedness if it shall pay over or
deliver to Holders of Securities, the Company or any other Person money or assets to which any
holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this  Article 4 or otherwise.

Section 4.07. No Impairment of Subordination. No right of any present or future holder of
any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be
prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or
failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the
terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof which
any such holder may have or otherwise be charged with.

 

38

 

Section 4.08. Certain Payments Not Prohibited. (a) For the purposes of this  Article 4 only,
the issuance and delivery of junior securities upon dissolution, winding-up, liquidation,
insolvency or reorganization and the issuance of Common Stock, other securities into which the
Securities are then convertible or junior securities upon conversion of Securities in accordance
with  Article 11 shall not be deemed to constitute a payment or distribution on account of the
principal of such Security or interest subject to blockage pursuant to  Section 4.02. For the
purposes of this  Section 4.08, the term “junior securities” means (x) shares of any Capital Stock
of any class of the Company, or (y) securities of the Company which are subordinated in right of
payment to all Senior Indebtedness that may be outstanding at the time of issuance or delivery of
such securities to substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Securities
are so subordinated as provided in this Article. Nothing contained in this  Article 4 or elsewhere
in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its
creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders, the right, which is absolute
and unconditional, of the Holder of any Security to convert such Security in accordance with
 Article 11.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this  Article 4 to the contrary, nothing shall prevent any
payment by the Trustee to the Holders of monies deposited with it pursuant to  Article 9 prior to
commencement of a Payment Blockage Period or commencement of proceedings for dissolution,
winding-up, liquidation or reorganization, and any such payment shall not be subject to the
provisions of this  Article 4.

Section 4.09. Article Applicable to Paying Agents. If at any time any Paying Agent other
than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term
“Trustee” as used in this Article shall (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as
extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and
purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article in addition to or in place of the
Trustee; provided, however, that the first paragraph of  Section 4.05 shall not apply to the
Company or any Affiliate of the Company if it or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent.

Section 4.10. Senior Indebtedness Entitled to Rely. The holders of Senior Indebtedness
(including, without limitation, Designated Senior Indebtedness) shall have the right to rely upon
this  Article 4, and no amendment or modification of the provisions contained herein shall diminish
the rights of such holders unless such holders shall have agreed in writing thereto.

 

39

 

ARTICLE 5

Covenants

Section 5.01. Payment of Securities. The Company shall make all payments in respect of the
Securities on the dates and in the manner provided in the Securities or pursuant to this Indenture.
Any amounts of cash in immediately available funds or shares of Common Stock to be given to the
Trustee or Paying Agent shall be deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent by 11:00 a.m., New York
City time, by the Company. The principal amount of, and Interest on, the Securities, and the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be considered paid on the applicable date due if on such
date (which, in the case of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, shall be on the Business Day
immediately following the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date) the Trustee or the Paying Agent
holds, in accordance with this Indenture, cash or securities, if permitted hereunder, sufficient to
pay all such amounts then due.

Section 5.02. SEC and Other Reports. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 15
days after the same are required to be filed with the SEC (giving effect to any grace period
provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act), copies of its annual report and of the
information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the
SEC may by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company is required to file with the SEC
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company shall also comply with the other
provisions of TIA Section 314(a). Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the
Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute
constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained
therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the
Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on Officer’s Certificates). Documents filed by the Company
with the SEC via the EDGAR system will be deemed furnished to the Trustee as of the time such
documents are filed via EDGAR, provided that the Trustee shall have no responsibility for
determining whether such filing has taken place.

Section 5.03. Compliance Certificate. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120
days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company (beginning with the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2010) an Officer’s Certificate, stating whether or not to the knowledge of the signer
thereof, the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms,
provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement
of notice provided hereunder) and if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults
and the nature and status thereof of which such Officer may have knowledge and otherwise comply
with Section 314(a)(4) of the TIA.

 

40

 

The Company shall, so long as any of the Securities are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee,
promptly after any executive officer of the Company becomes aware
of any Default or Event of Default in respect of the performance or observance of any covenant
or agreement contained in this Indenture or the Securities, an Officers’ Certificate specifying
such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with
respect thereto.

Section 5.04. Further Instruments and Acts. The Company shall execute and deliver such
further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out
more effectively the purposes of this Indenture.

Section 5.05. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company shall maintain in the United
States of America, an office or agency of the Trustee, Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent
where Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities may be surrendered
for registration of transfer, exchange, purchase or conversion and where notices and demands to or
upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee, shall initially be such office or agency for all of the aforesaid
purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and of any
change in the location, of any such office or agency (other than a change in the location of the
office of the Trustee). If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office
or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the address of the Trustee set forth in
 Section 13.02.

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where
the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to
time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in
any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the United
States of America, for such purposes.

Section 5.06. Delivery of Certain Information. At any time when the Company is not subject
to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, so long as any of the Securities or any shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall at such time, constitute “restricted
securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, upon the request of a
Holder or any beneficial owner of Securities or Holder or beneficial owner of shares of Common
Stock issued upon conversion thereof, the Company shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished
Rule 144A Information (as defined below) to such Holder or any beneficial owner of Securities or
Holder or beneficial owner of shares of Common Stock, or to a prospective purchaser of any such
security designated by any such Holder, as the case may be, to the extent required to permit
compliance by such Holder or beneficial owner with Rule 144A under the Securities Act in connection
with the resale of any such security. “Rule 144A Information” shall be such information as is
specified pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act. Whether a person is a beneficial owner shall be determined by the Company to the Company’s
reasonable satisfaction.

 

41

 

Section 5.07. Additional Interest.

(a) If, at any time during the six-month period beginning on, and including, the date which is
six months after the last date of original issuance of the Securities and ending on the date that
is one year after the last date of original issuance of the Securities, (i) the Company fails to
timely file any periodic report that it is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section
13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable (other than reports on Form 8-K), and such failure
continues for 14 days in the aggregate, or (ii) the Securities are not otherwise freely tradable
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates, or
under this Indenture or the Securities (an “Additional Interest Event”), the Company shall pay
Additional Interest on the Securities. Such Additional Interest will accrue on the Securities at a
rate of 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Securities outstanding for each day during
the first 90-day period (or portion thereof) for which an Additional Interest Event has occurred
and is continuing, which rate shall increase by an additional 0.25% per annum of the principal
amount of the Securities for each subsequent 90-day period (or portion thereof), up to a maximum of
0.50% of the principal amount of the Securities.

(b) Unless (i) the Legend on the Securities has been removed, or (ii) the Securities are
freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act by Holders other than the Company’s
Affiliates (without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of this Indenture or
the Securities), on or after the 365th day after the last date of original issuance of the
Securities, an Additional Interest Event would be deemed to have occurred and the Company shall pay
Additional Interest on the Securities at an annual rate equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal
amount of the Securities for each day during the first 90-day period (or portion thereof) for which
such Additional Interest Event is continuing, which rate shall increase by an additional 0.25% per
annum of the principal amount of the Securities for each subsequent 90-day period (or portion
thereof), up to a maximum of 0.50% of the principal amount of the Securities; provided that the
Company shall not be required to pay Additional Interest on the Securities for failure to remove
the Legend on the Securities unless the Company has received a request to do so by a Holder, any
Initial Purchaser or the Trustee on or after the 365th day after the last Issue Date of the
original issuance of the Securities, except that if the Company receives such a request on or after
the 5th Business Day immediately preceding such 365th day and the restrictive legend on the
Securities has not been removed by the close of business on the 5th Business Day
thereafter, Additional Interest on the Securities will accrue from such 365th day.

 

42

 

(c) Any Additional Interest payable pursuant to  Section 5.07(a) or  Section 5.07(b) shall be
payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date in the
same manner as Interest on the Securities, and will be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any
Additional Interest that may have accrued or may in the future accrue at the Company’s election as
the sole remedy relating to the failure to comply with its reporting obligations pursuant to
 Section 5.02, except that at no time will the Additional Interest payable pursuant to  Section
5.07(a) or  Section 5.07(b), together with any Additional Interest that may be payable pursuant to
 Section 7.02, exceed a rate of 1.00% per annum. When the Securities become freely tradable as
described in  Section 5.07(a) or  Section 5.07(b), as the case may be, accrued and unpaid
Additional Interest payable pursuant to  Section 5.07(a) or  Section 5.07(b) to, but excluding, the
date on which the Securities become freely tradable shall be paid in cash on the next Interest
Payment Date. If Additional Interest is payable by the Company pursuant to  Section 5.07(a) or
 Section 5.07(b), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an “Additional Interest Notice” to that
effect stating (i) the amount of such Additional Interest that is payable and (ii) the date on
which such Additional Interest is payable. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
receives at the Corporate Trust Office such a certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry
that no such Additional Interest is payable. If the Company has paid Additional Interest directly
to the Persons entitled to it, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Additional Interest
Notice setting forth the particulars of such payment.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay Additional
Interest on any date if (i) the Company has filed a shelf registration statement for the resale of
the Securities and any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Securities, (ii) such
shelf registration statement is effective and usable by Holders of the Securities identified
therein as selling Securityholders for the resale of the Securities and any shares of Common Stock
issued upon conversion of the Securities, and (iii) the Holders may register the resale of their
Securities under such shelf registration statement on terms customary for the resale of convertible
securities offered in reliance on Rule 144A.

Section 5.08. Anti-Layering. The Company may not incur any Indebtedness that is subordinate
in right of payment to Senior Indebtedness of the Company unless such Indebtedness is pari passu
with, or subordinated in right of payment to, the Securities. This does not apply to distinctions
between categories of Indebtedness that exist by reason of any liens or guarantees securing or in
favor of some but not all of such Indebtedness.

 

43

 

ARTICLE 6

Successor Person

Section 6.01. When Company May Merge or Transfer Assets. The Company shall not consolidate
with or merge with or into any other Person or convey, transfer, or lease all or substantially all
of its properties and assets to any Person, unless:

(a) (i) the Company is the continuing Person in the case of a merger; or (ii) the
resulting, surviving or transferee person (the “successor Person”) will be a corporation
organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or
the District of Columbia and the successor Person (if not the Company) will expressly
assume, by indenture supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all of the obligations of the Company or such
successor Person under the Securities and this Indenture;

(b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any indebtedness
which becomes an obligation of the successor Person or any Subsidiary as a result of such
transaction as having been incurred by such successor Person or such Subsidiary as the time
of such transaction), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(c) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, or transfer or lease and,
if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such
supplemental indenture comply with this  Article 6 and that all conditions precedent herein
provided relating to such transaction have been satisfied.

The successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the
successor Person to which such conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition is made shall
succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under
this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor had been named as the Company herein; and
thereafter, except in the case of a lease and obligations the Company may have under a supplemental
indenture, the Company shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture
and the Securities. Subject to  Section 10.06, the Company, the Trustee and the successor Person
shall enter into a supplemental indenture to evidence the succession and substitution of such
successor Person and such discharge and release of the Company.

 

44

 

ARTICLE 7

Defaults and Remedies

Section 7.01. Events of Default. So long as any Securities are outstanding, each of the
following shall be an “Event of Default”:

(a) the Company defaults in the payment of the principal amount of any Security when due at
maturity, upon repurchase or otherwise, whether or not such payment is prohibited by reason of the
subordination provisions in  Article 4;

whether or not such payment is prohibited by reason of the subordination provisions in  Article 4,
and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days;

(c) the Company defaults in its obligation to provide timely notice of a Fundamental Change to
the Trustee and each Holder as required under  Section 3.01(b);

(d) following the exercise by the Holder of the right to convert a Security in accordance with

Distribution on the applicable Conversion Settlement Date and such failure continues for a period
of 5 days or more;

(e) the Company fails to comply with the obligation to repurchase Securities pursuant to

in  Article 4;

(f) the Company fails to perform or observe any covenant or warranty in the Securities or this
Indenture (other than those referred to in clause  (a) through clause  (e) above) and such failure
continues for 60 days after receipt by the Company of a Notice of Default;

(g) the failure by the Company or any Subsidiary to pay Indebtedness within any applicable
grace period after final maturity or the Indebtedness is accelerated by the holders of the
Indebtedness because of a default, the total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated
exceeds $25 million, and such default remains uncured or such acceleration is not rescinded for 10
days after the date on which Notice of Default has been provided;

(h) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premise of (i) a decree or order for
relief in respect of the Company or any Subsidiary, in an involuntary case or proceeding under any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law (any “Bankruptcy Law”)or
(ii) a decree or order adjudging the Company or any Subsidiary, a bankrupt or insolvent, or
approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition of or in respect of the Company or any Subsidiary, under any applicable Bankruptcy Law,
or appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar
official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or
liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such

of 60 consecutive days; and

 

45

 

(i) (i) the commencement by the Company or any Subsidiary, of a voluntary case or proceeding
under any applicable Bankruptcy Law or of any other
case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or (ii) the consent by the
Company, to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or any Subsidiary,
in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Bankruptcy Law or to the commencement of

Company, of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable

appointment of or the taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property,
or (v) the making by the Company or any Subsidiary, of a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors.

The foregoing shall constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of
Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant
to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any
administrative or governmental body.

For the avoidance of doubt, clauses  (f) and  (g) above shall not constitute an Event of
Default until the Trustee notifies the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding notify the Company and the Trustee, of
such default and the Company does not cure such default (and such default is not waived) within the
time specified in clauses  (f) and  (g) above after actual receipt of such notice. Any such notice
must specify the default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of
Default.”

Section 7.02. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified
in Section  7.01(h) or  Section 7.01(i) with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing (the
Event of Default not having been cured or waived), the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the
Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding by
notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal amount of the Securities and any
accrued and unpaid Interest on all the Securities to be immediately due and payable. Upon such a
declaration, such accelerated amount shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default
specified in Section  7.01(h) or  Section 7.01(i) with respect to the Company occurs and is
continuing, the principal amount of the Securities and any accrued and unpaid Interest on all the
Securities shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on
the part of the Trustee or any Securityholders. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities at the time outstanding, by notice to the Trustee (and without notice to
any other Securityholder) may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, and thereby waive the
Events of Default giving rise to such acceleration, if the rescission would not conflict with any
judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except (1) an
Event of Default described in clauses  (a),  (b), and  (e) of  Section 7.01 or (2) an Event of
Default in respect of a provision that under  Section 10.02 cannot be
amended without the consent of each Securityholder affected. No such rescission shall affect
any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

 

46

 

Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or in the Securities to the contrary, to the extent
elected by the Company, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the failure by the
Company to comply with its reporting obligations under  Section 5.02, shall (i) for the first 90
days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default, consist exclusively of the right to receive
Additional Interest on the Securities at an annual rate equal to 0.25% of the principal amount of
the Securities then outstanding, and (ii) for the next 90 days after the expiration of such 90 day
period, consist exclusively of the right to receive Additional Interest on the Securities at an
annual rate equal to 0.50% of the principal amount of the Securities then outstanding.

Any Additional Interest payable pursuant to  this Section 7.02 shall be payable semi-annually
in arrears, with the first semi-annual payment due on the first Interest Payment Date following the
date on which such Additional Interest began to accrue on any Securities. This Additional Interest
shall accrue on all outstanding Securities from and including the date on which an Event of Default
relating to a failure to comply with the reporting obligations under  Section 5.02 first occurs to
but not including the 180th day thereafter (or such earlier date on which the Event of Default
relating to such reporting obligations shall have been cured or waived). On such 180th day (or
earlier, if such Event of Default is cured or waived pursuant to  Section 7.04 prior to such 180th
day), such Additional Interest will cease to accrue and, if such Event of Default relating to such
reporting obligations has not been cured or waived prior to such 180th day, the Securities shall be
subject to acceleration as provided above in this  Section 7.02. The provisions described in this
paragraph shall not affect the rights of the Holders in the event of the occurrence of any other
Event of Default. In the event the Company does not elect to pay Additional Interest upon an Event
of Default in accordance with this paragraph, the Securities shall be subject to acceleration as
provided in this  Section 7.02. If the Company elects to pay Additional Interest as the sole
remedy for an Event of Default relating to the failure by the Company to comply with its
obligations under  Section 5.02, the Company shall notify in writing, in the manner provided for in
 Section 13.02, the Holders and the Trustee of such election at any time on or before the close of
business on the date on which such Event of Default first occurs.

Section 7.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee
may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of the principal amount of the Securities
and any accrued and unpaid Interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any
provision of the Securities or this Indenture.

 

47

 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if the Trustee does not possess any of the
Securities or does not produce any of the Securities in the proceeding. A
delay or omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy
accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of,
or acquiescence in, the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All
available remedies are cumulative.

Section 7.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities at the time outstanding, by notice to the Trustee (and without notice to
any other Securityholder), may waive any existing or past Default and its consequences except (1)
an Event of Default described in clauses  (a),  (b), and  (e) of  Section 7.01 or (2) an Event of
Default in respect of a provision that under  Section 10.02 cannot be amended without the consent
of each Securityholder affected. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver
shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right.

Section 7.05. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Securities at the time outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on
the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or
this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other
Securityholders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided that the Trustee may
take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction or
this Agreement. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to
indemnification or security satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses,
liabilities and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

Section 7.06. Limitation on Suits. A Securityholder may not pursue any remedy with respect
to this Indenture or the Securities, except in case of a Default due to the non-payment of the
principal amount of the Securities, or any accrued and unpaid Interest, unless:

	 	(1)	 	the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice stating that a Default is
continuing;

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

	 	(3)	 	such Holder or Holders offer reasonable indemnity, which may be secured,
to the Trustee against any costs, liability or expense;

	 	(4)	 	the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt
of such notice and offer of indemnity, which may be secured; and

 

48

 

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

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

Section 7.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of the principal amount of the
Securities and any accrued and unpaid Interest and accrued and unpaid Additional Interest, if any,
in respect of the Securities held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in
the Securities or the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, and to convert the Securities in
accordance with  Article 11, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment or the right
to convert on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected adversely without
the consent of such Holder.

Section 7.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default described in  Section 7.01
clauses  (a) through  (e) (other than  (c)) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover
judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole
amount owing with respect to the Securities and the amounts provided for in  Section 8.07.

Section 7.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership,
insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other
judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the
property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of
whether the principal amount of the Securities and any accrued and unpaid Interest in respect of
the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise
and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment
of any such amount) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or
otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole principal amount of the Securities and any
accrued and unpaid Interest and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary
or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel or any other amounts due the Trustee under  Section 8.07) and of the Holders
allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

(b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any
such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee,
liquidator, sequestrator or similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent
to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay the Trustee any amount due
it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under  Section 8.07.

 

49

 

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

The Company agrees not to object to the Trustee participating as a member of any official
committee of creditors of the Company as it deems necessary or advisable.

Section 7.10. Priorities. Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this  Article 7,
and, after an Event of Default, any money or other property distributable in respect of the
Company’s obligations under this Indenture, shall be paid out in the following order:

FIRST: to the Trustee (including any predecessor Trustee) for amounts due under
 Section 8.07;

SECOND: to Securityholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for the
principal amount of the Securities and any accrued and unpaid Interest, ratably, without
preference or priority of any kind, according to such amounts due and payable on the
Securities; and

THIRD: the balance, if any, to the Company.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Securityholders pursuant
to this  Section 7.10. At least 15 days before such record date, the Trustee shall mail to each
Securityholder and the Company a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the
amount to be paid.

Section 7.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy
under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as
Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant (other than the
Trustee) in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its
discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against
any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or
defenses made by the party litigant. This  Section 7.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a
suit by a Holder pursuant to  Section 7.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding.

 

50

 

Section 7.12. Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent
that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner
whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury or
other law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which would prohibit or forgive
the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal amount of the Securities and any
accrued and unpaid Interest on Securities, as contemplated herein, or which may affect the
covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully
do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it
shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but
shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

ARTICLE 8

Trustee

Section 8.01. Duties of Trustee.

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

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

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

	 	(2)	 	in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of
the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the
Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture, but in the case
of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are
specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be
under a duty to examine such certificates and opinions to determine whether or
not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture, but need not confirm
or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated
therein.

 

51

 

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

	 	(1)	 	this  Section 8.01(c) does not limit the effect of  Section
8.01(b) and  8.01(g);

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

takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received
by it pursuant to  Section 7.05.

(f) Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by law. The Trustee (acting in any capacity hereunder) shall be
under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder unless otherwise agreed in
writing with the Company (provided that any interest earned on money held by the Trustee in trust
hereunder shall be the property of the Company).

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

Section 8.02. Rights of Trustee. Subject to the provisions of  Section 8.01:

(a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining
from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of
indebtedness or other paper or document (whether in original or facsimile form) believed by
it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

(b) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it
desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any
action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed)
may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officer’s
Certificate;

 

52

 

(c) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any
duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall
not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney

advice or Opinion of Counsel;

(f) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers
vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders,
pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the
Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;

(g) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently
evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order and any resolution of the Board of
Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;

stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness
or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further
inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee
shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to,
during regular business hours, examine the books, records and premises of the Company,
personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no
liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation;

(i) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default
unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written
notice of any event which is in fact such a Default is received by the Trustee at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and this
Indenture;

 

53

 

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

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

(l) the permissive rights of the Trustee to take certain actions under this Indenture
shall not be construed as a duty unless so specified herein.

Section 8.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other
capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or
its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent,
Registrar, Conversion Agent or co-registrar may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee
must comply with  Section 8.10 and  Section 8.11.

Section 8.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee makes no representation as to, and shall
have no responsibility for, the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities, it shall
not be accountable for the Company’s use or application by the Company of the Securities or of the
proceeds from the Securities, it shall not be responsible for the correctness of any statement in
any registration statement for the Securities under the Securities Act or in any offering document
for the Securities, the Indenture or the Securities (other than its certificate of authentication),
or the determination as to which beneficial owners are entitled to receive any notices hereunder.

Section 8.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and if it is known
to the Trustee, the Trustee shall give to each Securityholder notice of the Default or Event of
Default within 90 days after receipt by the Trustee of written notice from the Company, unless such
Default or Event of Default shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, except in the case of a Default or Event of Default
described in clauses  (a) and  (b) of  Section 7.01, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so
long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the
notice is in the interest of the Securityholders. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of a Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received
written notice of such Default or
Event of Default, which notice specifically references this Indenture and the Securities.

 

54

 

Section 8.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 75 days after each December 31 beginning
with December 31, 2010, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder a brief report dated as of
such December 31 that complies with TIA Section 313(a), if required by such Section 313(a). The
Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b). Any reports required by this  Section 8.06
shall be transmitted by mail to Securityholders pursuant to TIA Section 313(c).

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders shall be filed with the
SEC and each securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed. The Company agrees to
notify the Trustee promptly whenever the Securities become listed on any securities exchange and of
any delisting thereof.

Section 8.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company agrees:

(a) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as the Company and the
Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing for all services rendered by it hereunder
(which compensation shall not be limited (to the extent permitted by law) by any provision
of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

(b) to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision
of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses, advances and
disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance
as may be attributable to its own negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith; and

(c) to indemnify the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and their agents for, and to
hold them harmless against, any loss, damage, claim, liability, cost or expense (including
reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, and taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured
by or determined by the income of the Trustee)) incurred without negligence, willful
misconduct or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against
any claim (whether asserted by the Company or any Holder or any other Person) or liability
in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this  Section 8.07, the Trustee shall have a
lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that
held in trust to pay the principal amount of, or the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, the
Conversion Obligation or Interest with respect to particular Securities.

 

55

 

The Company’s payment, reimbursement and indemnity obligations pursuant to this  Section 8.07
shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the resignation or removal of the
Trustee and the termination of this Indenture for any reason. In addition to and without prejudice
to its rights hereunder, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an
Event of Default specified in  Section 7.01(h) or  Section 7.01(i), the expenses, including the
reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel and the compensation for services payable pursuant
to  Section 8.07(a), are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable
federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws.

For the purposes of this  Section 8.07, the “Trustee” shall include any predecessor Trustee;
provided, however, that except as may be otherwise agreed among the parties, the negligence,
willful misconduct or bad faith of any Trustee hereunder shall not affect the rights of any other
Trustee hereunder.

Section 8.08. Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the
Company; provided, however, no such resignation shall be effective until a successor Trustee has
accepted its appointment pursuant to this  Section 8.08. The Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding may remove the Trustee by so notifying
the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company shall remove the Trustee if:

	 	(1)	 	the Trustee fails to comply with  Section 8.10;

	 	(2)	 	the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

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

	 	(4)	 	the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any
reason, the Company shall promptly appoint, by resolution of its Board of Directors, a successor
Trustee.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring
Trustee and to the Company satisfactory in form and substance to the retiring Trustee and the
Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and
the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this
Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Securityholders. The
retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor
Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in  Section 8.07.

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

 

56

 

If the Trustee fails to comply with  Section 8.10, any Securityholder may petition any court
of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor
Trustee.

So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee (i) a Board Resolution appointing a successor Trustee,

payable and the Company deposits with the Trustee cash sufficient to pay all amounts due and owing
on all outstanding Securities (other than Securities replaced pursuant to  Section 2.07), and if in
either case the Company pays all other sums payable hereunder by the

(n) to confirm, as necessary, this Indenture and the form or terms of the Securities,
to the “Description of the Notes” as set forth in the Offering Memorandum; and

(o) make any changes or modifications in this Indenture or the Securities; provided,
however, that any such change or modification does not adversely affect the interests of
the Holders of Securities in any material respect;

Section 10.02. With Consent of Holders. Except as provided below in this  Section 10.02 and
in  Section 10.01, this Indenture or the Securities may be amended, modified or supplemented, and
noncompliance in any particular instance with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities may
be waived, in each case with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the
principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding.

Without the written consent or the affirmative vote of each Holder of Securities affected
thereby, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this  Section 10.02 may not:

(a) reduce the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding
Securities the consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture
entered into in accordance with this  Section 10.02 or the consent of whose Holders is
required for any waiver provided for in this Indenture;

that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the
consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected thereby;

(h) adversely impair the right of the Holders of the Securities to convert any

(i) impair the right of any Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any
payment of past due amounts with respect to, or conversion of, any Security.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this  Section 10.02 to approve
the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves
the substance thereof. A consent to any amendment or waiver under this Indenture by any Holder of
the Securities given in connection with a tender of such Holder’s Securities will not be rendered
invalid by such tender.

After an amendment under this  Section 10.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to each
Holder a notice briefly describing the amendment. The failure to give such notice to all
Securityholders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment
under this  Section 10.02.

Section 10.03. [Reserved]

Section 10.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents, Waivers and Actions. Until an amendment,
waiver or other action by Holders becomes effective, a consent thereto by a Holder of a Security
hereunder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Security or
portion of the Security that evidences the same obligation as the consenting Holder’s Security,
even if notation of the consent, waiver or action is not made on the Security. However, any such
Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent, waiver or action as to such Holder’s Security
or portion of the Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the
amendment, waiver or action becomes effective. After an amendment, waiver or action becomes
effective, it shall bind every Securityholder.

For the purposes of this Indenture, the written consent of the Holder of a Global Security
shall be deemed to include any consent delivered by an Agent by electronic means in accordance with
the Automated Tender Offer Procedures system or other customary procedures of, and pursuant to
authorization by, DTC.

 

61

 

Section 10.05. Notice of Amendments, Notation on or Exchange of Securities. Securities
authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this
 Article 10 may, and shall if required by the Company, bear a notation in form approved by the
Company as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so
determine, new Securities so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of
Directors, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for outstanding Securities. Failure to make
the appropriate notation or to issue a new Security shall not affect the validity of such
amendment.

Section 10.06. Trustee to Sign Supplemental Indentures. The Trustee shall sign any
supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this  Article 10 if the amendment contained therein
does not affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the
Trustee may, but need not, sign such supplemental indenture. In signing such supplemental
indenture the Trustee shall receive, and (subject to the provisions of  Section 8.01) shall be
fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that
such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

Section 10.07. Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental
indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such
supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of
Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.

ARTICLE 11

Conversions

Section 11.01. Conversion Privilege. (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions
of this  Article 11, a Holder of a Security shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to
convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is $1,000 principal amount or an
integral multiple thereof) of such Security prior to the close of business on the Business Day
immediately preceding Stated Maturity into cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, at the
Conversion Rate (the “Conversion Obligation”) in effect on the date of conversion; provided that a
Holder may exercise such right prior to July 31, 2015 only as follows:

(1) during any fiscal quarter of the Company (a “Fiscal Quarter”) commencing
after December 31, 2010 (and only during such Fiscal Quarter), if the Last Reported
Sale Price of the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days during the period of 30
consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of the immediately
preceding Fiscal Quarter exceeds 135% of the Conversion Price in effect on such
last Trading Day;

 

62

 

(2) during the five Business Days immediately following any five consecutive
Trading Day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which the Trading Price per $1,000
principal amount of the Securities for each day of such Measurement Period was less
than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the
Conversion Rate on each such day. The Conversion Agent will, on the Company’s
behalf, determine if the Securities are convertible as a result of the Trading
Price of the Securities and notify the Company and the Trustee; provided, that the
Conversion Agent shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of the
Securities unless the Company has requested such determination and the Company
shall have no obligation to make such request unless requested to do so by a Holder
of the Securities in writing. Upon making any such written request, any such
requesting Holder shall provide reasonable evidence that (A) such requesting Holder
is a Holder of the Securities as of the date of such notice, and (B) the Trading
Price per $1,000 principal amount of Securities would be less than 98% of the
product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion
Rate. At such time, the Company shall instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to
determine the Trading Price of the Securities beginning on the next Trading Day and
on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount
of the Securities is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last
Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Conversion Rate and give notices to
the Holder and the Trustee of the Trading Price of the Securities; and

(3) as provided in clause  (b) of this  Section 11.01.

On or after July 31, 2015, a Holder may exercise its right to convert its Securities as
described in paragraph (a) above irrespective of the conditions listed in clauses (1), (2) and (3)
above.

The Company or, at its option, the Conversion Agent on behalf of the Company, shall determine
on a daily basis during the time periods specified in  Section 11.01(a)(1) or, following a request
by a Holder of Securities in accordance with the procedures specified in  Section 11.01(a)(2),
whether the Securities shall be convertible as a result of the occurrence of an event specified in
such Sections and, if the Securities shall be so convertible, the Company or the Conversion Agent,
as applicable, shall promptly deliver to the Trustee and Conversion Agent or the Company, as
applicable written notice thereof. Whenever the Securities shall become convertible pursuant to
this  Section 11.01 (as determined in accordance with this  Section 11.01), the Company or, at the
Company’s written request, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall
promptly notify the Holders of the event triggering such convertibility in the manner provided in
 Section 13.02, and the Company shall also promptly disseminate a press release
through Dow Jones & Company, Inc. or Bloomberg Business News and publish such information on
the Company’s Website or through another public medium the Company may use at that time. Any
notice so given shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder
receives such notice.

 

63

 

(b) In the event that:

(1) (A) the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of Common
Stock rights or warrants entitling them to purchase, for a period expiring within
60 days after the date of such distribution, Common Stock at less than the Last
Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding
the announcement date for such distribution; or (B) the Company distributes to all
or substantially all holders of Common Stock assets (including cash), debt
securities or rights or warrants to purchase the Company’s securities, which
distribution has a per share value as determined by the Board of Directors
exceeding 10% of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading
Day immediately preceding the announcement date of such distribution, then, in
either case, the Securities may be surrendered for conversion at any time on and
after the date that the Company gives notice to the Holders of such distribution,
which shall be not less than 20 Business Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for
such distribution, until the earlier of the close of business on the Business Day
immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date or the date on which the Company
announces that such distribution shall not take place, even if the Securities are
not otherwise convertible at such time; provided that no Holder of a Security shall
have the right to convert if the Holder may otherwise participate in such
distribution without conversion; or

(2) a Change of Control occurs pursuant to clause  (1) of the definition
thereof set forth above or pursuant to clause (3) of the definition thereof set
forth above under which the Common Stock is to be converted into cash, securities
or other property, in either case regardless of whether a Holder has the right to
require the Company to repurchase such Holder’s Securities pursuant to  Section
3.01, then the Securities may be surrendered for conversion at any time from and
after the date that is 15 days prior to the anticipated effective date of such
transaction until 15 days after the actual effective date of such transaction (or,
if such transaction also constitutes a Change of Control pursuant to which Holders
have a right to require the Company to repurchase the Securities pursuant to
 Section 3.01, to, but not including, the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase
Date). The Company shall notify Holders and the Trustee at the time the Company
publicly announces the Change of Control transaction giving rise to the above
conversion

 

64

 

right (but in no event less than 15 days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction). If the
Company engages in any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a
subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock, or a change in par
value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value) or is
party to a consolidation, merger, binding share exchange or transfer of all or
substantially all of its assets pursuant to which Holders of Common Stock would be
entitled to receive cash, securities or other property, then at the effective time
of such transaction, to the extent that it constitutes a Change of Control as
described in this paragraph above as giving rise to a conversion right, the
Conversion Obligation and the Conversion Settlement Distribution shall be based on
the applicable Conversion Rate and the kind and amount of cash, securities or other
property that a holder of one share of the Common Stock would have received in such
transaction (such property, collectively, the “Exchange Property”). In addition,
if a Holder converts Securities following the effective time of any such
transaction, any amounts of the Conversion Settlement Distribution to be settled in
 shares of Common Stock shall be paid in such Exchange Property rather than shares
of Common Stock. If the transaction also constitutes a Change of Control, (A) a
Holder can require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of its Securities
pursuant to  Section 3.01 or, (B) if such Holder elects, instead, to convert all or
a portion of its Securities, such Holder shall receive Additional Shares upon
conversion pursuant to  Section 11.01(c), in each case, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in each such Section.

(c) If and only to the extent a Holder timely elects to convert Securities during the period
specified in  Section 11.01(b)(2) above on or before October 1, 2015, and 10% or more of the
consideration for the Common Stock in such Change of Control transaction consists of consideration
other than common stock traded or scheduled to be traded immediately following such transaction on
a U.S. national securities exchange, the Conversion Rate shall be increased by an additional number
of shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) as described below; provided that if the Stock
Price paid in connection with such transaction is greater than $25.00 or less than $5.49 (subject
in each case to adjustment as described below), no Additional Shares shall be added to the
Conversion Rate. The Company shall notify Holders and the Trustee, at least 15 days prior to the
anticipated effective date of such transaction causing any increase of the Conversion Rate pursuant
to this  Section 11.01(c).

 

65

 

The number of Additional Shares to be added to the Conversion Rate as described in the
immediately preceding paragraph shall be determined by reference to the table attached as Schedule
I hereto, based on the effective date of such Change of Control transaction and the Stock Price
paid in connection with such transaction; provided that if the Stock Price is between two Stock
Price amounts in
the table or such effective date is between two effective dates in the table, the number of
Additional Shares shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of
Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Price amounts and the two dates, as
applicable, based on a 365-day year. The “effective date” with respect to a Change of Control
transaction means the date that a Change of Control becomes effective.

The Stock Prices set forth in the first row of the table in Schedule I hereto shall be
adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Securities is adjusted pursuant to
 Section 11.04. The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately
prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate
immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator
of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares shall be adjusted
in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in  Section 11.04.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the total additional number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities pursuant to this clause (c) exceed 182.1493
per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, subject to adjustments in the same manner as the
Conversion Rate as set forth in  Section 11.04.

 

66

 

Section 11.02. Conversion Procedure; Conversion Rate; Fractional Shares. (a) Subject to
 Section 11.01 and the Company’s rights under  Section 11.03, each Security shall be convertible at
the office of the Conversion Agent into a combination of cash and fully paid and nonassessable
shares (calculated to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share) of Common Stock, if any, at a rate (the
“Conversion Rate”) equal to, initially, 134.9255 shares of Common Stock for each $1,000 principal
amount of Securities. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in certain instances as provided in
 Section 11.04 hereof, but shall not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid Interest. Upon
conversion, no payment shall be made by the Company with respect to any accrued and unpaid Interest
unless the Conversion Date occurs between an Interest Record Date and the corresponding Interest
Payment Date. Instead, such amount shall be deemed paid by the applicable Conversion Settlement
Distribution delivered upon conversion of any Security. In addition, no payment or adjustment
shall be made in respect of dividends on the Common Stock with a record date prior to the
Conversion Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon conversion, a Holder shall receive any
accrued and unpaid Additional Interest to the Conversion Date. The Company shall not issue any
fraction of a share of Common Stock in connection with any conversion of Securities, but instead
shall, subject to  Section 11.03 hereof, make a cash payment (calculated to the nearest cent) equal
to such fraction multiplied by the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day
prior to the Conversion Date.

(b) Before any Holder of a Security shall be entitled to convert the same into a combination
of cash and Common Stock, if any, such Holder shall (1) in the case of Global Securities, comply
with the procedures of the Depositary in effect at that time for converting a beneficial interest
in a Global Security, and in the case of Certificated Securities, surrender such Securities, duly
endorsed to the Company or in blank, at the office of the Conversion Agent, and (2) give written
notice to the Company in the form on the reverse of such Certificated Security (the “Conversion
Notice”) at said office or place that such Holder elects to convert the same and shall state in
writing therein the principal amount of Securities to be converted and the name or names (with
addresses) in which such Holder wishes the certificate or certificates for Common Stock included in
the Conversion Settlement Distribution, if any, to be registered.

Before any such conversion, a Holder also shall pay all taxes or duties, if any, as provided
in  Section 11.06 and any amount payable pursuant to  Section 11.02(g).

If more than one Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder,
the number of full shares of Common Stock, if any, that shall be deliverable upon conversion as
part of the Conversion Settlement Distribution shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate
principal amount of the Securities (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted thereby)
so surrendered.

 

67

 

(c) A Security shall be deemed to have been converted as of the close of business on the date
(the “Conversion Date”) that the Holder has complied with  Section 11.02(b).

(d) The Company shall, on the Conversion Settlement Date, (i) pay the cash component
(including cash in lieu of any fraction of a share to which such Holder would otherwise be
entitled) of the Conversion Obligation determined pursuant to  Section 11.03 to the Holder of a
Security surrendered for conversion, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, and (ii) issue, or cause
to be issued, and deliver to the Conversion Agent or to such Holder, or such Holder’s nominee or
nominees, certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock, if any, to which such Holder
shall be entitled as part of such Conversion Obligation. The Company shall not be required to
deliver certificates for shares of Common Stock while the stock transfer books for such stock or
the security register are duly closed for any purpose, but certificates for shares of Common Stock
shall be issued and delivered as soon as practicable after the opening of such books or security
register, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Stock as part of the applicable
Conversion Settlement Distribution upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the
record holder or holders of such Common Stock, as of the close of business on the applicable
Conversion Settlement Date.

(e) In case any Security shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder
of the Security so surrendered, without charge to such Holder (subject to the provisions of
 Section 11.06 hereof), a new Security or Securities in authorized denominations in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Securities.

(f) By delivering the combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, together with a
cash payment in lieu of any fractional shares to the Conversion Agent or to the Holder or such
Holder’s nominee or nominees, the Company shall have satisfied in full its Conversion Obligation
with respect to such Security, and upon such delivery, accrued and unpaid Interest, if any, with
respect to such Security shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than canceled, extinguished or
forfeited, and such amounts shall no longer accrue.

(g) If a Securityholder delivers a Conversion Notice after the close of business on the
Interest Record Date for a payment of Interest but prior to the open of business on the
corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Securityholder at the close of business on such Interest
Record Date shall receive the Interest payable on the Securities on the corresponding Interest
Payment Date despite the conversion. Such Securityholder must pay to the Company, at the time such
Securityholder surrenders Securities for conversion, an amount equal to the Interest (excluding any
Additional Interest) that has accrued and shall be paid on the related Interest Payment Date. The
preceding sentence shall not apply if (1) the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase
Date that is after an Interest Record
Date but on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date, (2) to the extent of overdue
Interest, if any overdue Interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to the Securities
converted or (3) for conversion following the Interest Record Date immediately preceding the Stated
Maturity.

 

68

 

Section 11.03. Payment Upon Conversion. (a) Upon conversion of Securities, the Company shall
deliver to Holders surrendering Securities for conversion, for each $1,000 principal amount of
Securities, a settlement amount (the “Conversion Settlement Distribution”) on the Conversion
Settlement Date consisting of:

(i) cash amount (the “Cash Amount”) equal to the lesser of $1,000 and the Conversion
Value; and

(ii) to the extent the Conversion Value exceeds $1,000, (x) a number of shares (the
“net shares”) of Common Stock equal to the sum of, for each day of the Cash Settlement
Period described below, the greater of:

(A) zero and

(B) the quotient of

(1) 5% of the difference between (I) the product of the Conversion
Rate (plus any Additional Shares as described under  Section 11.01(c)
and the VWAP of the Common Stock on such day, and (II) $1,000, divided
by

(2) the VWAP of the Common Stock for such day, or

(y) if the Company so elects or if the rules of The New York Stock Exchange so
require, as described in  Section 11.03(c) below, cash equal to the difference (such
difference, the “net share amount”) between the Conversion Value and $1,000 or

(z) if the Company so elects or if the rules of The New York Stock Exchange so
require, as described in  Section 11.03(c) below, a combination of cash and shares of
Common Stock with a value equal to the difference between the Conversion Value and $1,000,
such amount to be determined as set out below.

The Company may elect to pay cash to Holders of Securities surrendered for conversion in lieu
of all or a portion of the net shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Securities
only if payment of such cash would not be prohibited by the terms of the Company’s other
Indebtedness. If the Company does so elect to pay cash, the Company will notify Holders though the
Trustee of the dollar amount to be satisfied in cash (either 100% or a fixed dollar amount will
be paid (the “specified cash amount”)) at any time on or before the date that is two Business
Days following the Conversion Date.

 

69

 

If the Company elects to satisfy some but not all of the net share amount for any conversion
in cash as set out in clause (ii)(z) above, (a) the Company will pay to converting Holders cash in
an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the net share amount for such conversion and (y) the specified
cash amount, and (b) the Company will deliver to converting holders a number of shares of Common
Stock equal to the greater of (i) zero and (ii) the number of shares to which such Holder would be
entitled under clause (ii)(x), but replacing “$1,000” in clause (ii)(x)(B)(l)(II) with “$1,000 plus
the specified cash amount”.

“Conversion Value’’ means the product of (1) the Conversion Rate in effect (plus any
Additional Shares as described under  Section 11.01(c)) and (2) the average of the VWAPs of the
Common Stock for the 20 consecutive Trading Days during the Cash Settlement Period.

“Cash Settlement Period’’ with respect to any Securities converted means the 20 consecutive
Trading Days beginning on the second Trading Day after the Conversion Date for those Securities
except in circumstances where conversion occurs within 20 days leading up to the Stated Maturity,
in which case the Cash Settlement Period will be the 20 consecutive Trading Days beginning on the
second Trading Day following the Stated Maturity. In addition, if the Company chooses to settle
all or any portion of the net shares in cash in conjunction with conversion within 20 days leading
up to the Stated Maturity, the Company will send, on or prior to the Stated Maturity, a single
notice to the Trustee of the net shares to be satisfied in cash.

(b) If a Holder tenders Securities for conversion and the Conversion Value is being determined
at a time when the Securities are convertible into Exchange Property, the Conversion Value of each
Security shall be determined based on the kind and amount of such Exchange Property and the value
thereof during the Cash Settlement Period. Settlement of Securities tendered for conversion after
the effective date of any transaction giving rise to Exchange Property shall be as set forth above.

For the purposes of this Section, the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock shall be
deemed to equal the sum of (i) 100% of the value of any Exchange Property consisting of cash
received per share of Common Stock, (2) the Last Reported Sale Price of any Exchange Property
received per share of Common Stock consisting of securities that are traded on a U.S. national
securities exchange and (3) the Fair Market Value of any other Exchange Property received per
share, as determined by three independent nationally recognized investment banks selected by the
Company for this purpose. Settlement (in cash and/or shares) will occur on the third Business Day
following the final day of such Cash Settlement Period.

 

70

 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, in the event the number of
shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of the Securities, in the aggregate, is equal to
or greater than 19.9% of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding on the date the Securities were
first issued, the Company shall, if so required by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, at its
option, either obtain stockholder approval of such issuances or deliver cash in lieu of any shares
of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon conversion of the Securities in excess of such
limitations in accordance with clause (ii)(y) or (ii)(z) above.

Section 11.04. Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from
time to time, without duplication, by the Company in accordance with this  Section 11.04:

(a) In case the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a distribution to all or
substantially all holders of the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, the Conversion
Rate shall be increased so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the
Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for
such dividend or other distribution by a fraction,

(i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after giving effect to such dividend or distribution; and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date for such
dividend or distribution,

such increase to become effective immediately after the opening of business on such Ex-Dividend
Date. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this  Section 11.04 is declared but
not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Rate that would
then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(b) In case the Company shall issue rights, warrants or options (other than pursuant to any
dividend reinvestment or share repurchase plans) to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common
Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 60 days after the date of such distribution) to
subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market
Price on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or
warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by
multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the
Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance by a fraction,

(i) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of
business on such Ex-Dividend Date plus (B) the total number of additional shares of
Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and

 

71

 

(ii) the denominator of which is the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date plus (B) the
total number of additional shares of Common Stock that the aggregate offering price of the
total number of shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase would purchase
at the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on such date.

Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrants are issued,
and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for
such issuance. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of
such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would
then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made
on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the
event that such rights or warrants are not so exercised, the Conversion Rate shall again be
adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Ex-Dividend Date for such
issuance had not occurred. In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the
holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price,
and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be
taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants and any
amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than
cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.

(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of
shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the opening of business
on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately
increased, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a
smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the
opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective
shall be proportionately reduced, such increase or reduction, as the case may be, to become
effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such
subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

72

 

(d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially
all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of Capital Stock of the Company or evidences of
its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights, options or warrants
referred to in  Section 11.04(b) and excluding any dividend or distribution (x) paid exclusively in
cash or (y) referred to in  Section 11.04(a)) (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this  Section
11.04(d) called the “Distributed Assets”), then, in each such case, the Conversion Rate shall be
increased so that the same shall be equal to the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate
in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date with respect to such
distribution by a fraction,

(i) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common
Stock on such Ex-Dividend Date; and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of the
Common Stock on such Ex-Dividend Date less the Fair Market Value (as determined by the
Board of Directors and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) on the
Ex-Dividend Date of the portion of the Distributed Assets so distributed applicable to one
share of Common Stock,

such adjustment to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Ex-Dividend
Date; provided, however, that in the event (1) the then Fair Market Value (as so determined) of the
portion of the Distributed Assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal
to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on such Ex-Dividend Date or (2)
the Current Market Price of Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date exceeds the then Fair Market
Value (as so determined) of the portion of the Distributed Assets so distributed applicable to one
share of Common Stock by less than $1.00, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision
shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of
Distributed Assets such Holder would have received had such Holder owned a number of shares of
Common Stock equal to the product of (a) the Conversion Ratio on the Ex-Dividend Date for such
distribution times (b) the quotient of the principal amount such Holder’s Securities divided by
$1,000. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion
Rate shall be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or
distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the Fair Market Value of
any distribution for purposes of this  Section 11.04(d) by reference to the actual or when issued
trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the
same period used in computing the Current Market Price of the Common Stock.

 

73

 

Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the
Holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock (either
initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a
specified event or events (a “Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of
Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of
Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this  Section 11.04 (and
no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this  Section 11.04
shall be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights
and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is
required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this  Section 11.04. If any such right or
warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this
Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become
exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the
date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution
and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or
expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In
addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any
Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto
that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the
Conversion Rate under this  Section 11.04 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants
that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the
Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such
distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to
the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with
respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants),
made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the
case of such rights or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any
holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not
been issued.

No adjustment of the Conversion Rate shall be made pursuant to this  Section 11.04(d) in
respect of rights or warrants distributed or deemed distributed on any Trigger Event to the extent
that such rights or warrants are actually distributed, or reserved by the Company for distribution
to Holders of Securities upon conversion by such Holders of Securities to Common Stock.

For purposes of this   Section 11.04(d) and  Section 11.04(a) and  (b), any dividend or
distribution to which this  Section 11.04(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common
Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or both), shall
be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or
shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants (and any
Conversion Rate adjustment required by this  Section 11.04(d) with respect to such dividend or
distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such
shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Rate adjustment
required by  Section 11.04(a) and  (b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be
made).

 

74

 

If any Distributed Assets requiring any adjustment pursuant to this  Section 11.04(d) consists
of the Capital Stock, or similar equity interests in, a Subsidiary or other business unit of the
Company which are or in connection with such distribution will be listed or quoted for trading on a
U.S. national securities exchange, the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the end of
the Valuation Period shall instead be increased by multiplying such Conversion Rate by a fraction,
(A) the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the average of the VWAPs of such distributed security
for the 10 Trading Days commencing on and including the fifth Trading Day after the Ex-Dividend
Date for such distribution (the “Valuation Period”) plus (2) the average of the VWAPs of the Common
Stock over the Valuation Period and (B) the denominator of which is such average of the VWAPs of
the Common Stock over the Valuation Period.

(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially
all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any dividend or distribution in connection with the
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary), then, in
such case, the Conversion Rate shall be increased so that the same shall equal the rate determined
by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the
Ex-Dividend Date for such cash dividend by a fraction,

(i) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on
such Ex-Dividend Date, and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price of the Common Stock
on such Ex-Dividend Date minus the amount per share of such dividend or the amount of cash
so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock,

such adjustment to be effective immediately at the opening of business on the Ex-Dividend Date;
provided, however, that in the event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share
of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on such
Ex-Dividend Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that
each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion the amount of cash such Holder would
have received had such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (a)
the Conversion Ratio on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution times (b) the quotient of the
principal amount such Holder’s Securities divided by $1,000. In the event that such dividend or
distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the
Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been
declared.

 

75

 

(f) In case a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any
portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender or exchange offer (as amended upon the
expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders of consideration per share of Common
Stock having a Fair
Market Value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive
and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) that as of the last time (the “Expiration
Time”) tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be
amended) exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next
succeeding the Expiration Time, the Conversion Rate shall be increased so that the same shall equal
the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the
Expiration Time by a fraction,

(i) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (x) the Fair Market Value (determined
as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the
acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of
all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the
 shares deemed so accepted up to any such maximum, being referred to as the “Purchased
Shares”) and (y) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any
Purchased Shares) at the Expiration Time and the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common
Stock on the first Trading Day after the Expiration Time, and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the product of the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding (including any Purchased Shares) at the Expiration Time multiplied by the
Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the first Trading Day after the Expiration
Time,

such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day
following the Expiration Time. In the event that the Company is obligated to purchase shares
pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by
applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the
Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if
such tender or exchange offer had not been made.

(g) The Company may make such increases in the Conversion Rate, in addition to those required
by this  Section 11.04, as the Board of Directors considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish
any U.S. federal income tax to holders of Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution
of Capital Stock (or rights to acquire Capital Stock) or any such event; provided, however, that
such increase in the Conversion Rate shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of
Securities (after taking into account U.S. federal income tax and other consequences of such
increase).

 

76

 

To the extent permitted by applicable law and the listing requirements of The New York Stock
Exchange or any national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed, the Company
from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for any period of time if the
period is at least twenty (20) Business Days, the increase is irrevocable during the period and the Board of
Directors shall have made a determination that such increase would be in the best interests of the
Company, which determination shall be conclusive. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased
pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall mail to Holders of record of the Securities
and the Trustee a notice of the increase at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date the increased
Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the
period during which it shall be in effect.

(h) All calculations under this  Article 11 shall be made by the Company and shall be made to
the nearest cent or to the nearest one-ten thousandth of a share, as the case may be, with one
half-cent and 0.005 of a share, respectively, being rounded upward.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment need be made for:

(i) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan
providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities
and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan,

(ii) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those
 shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or
program of or assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,

(iii) the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant,
right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security outstanding as of the date the
Securities were first issued,

(iv) a change in the par value of the Common Stock, or

(v) accrued and unpaid Interest.

(i) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly
file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) an Officer’s Certificate
setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the
facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have
received such Officer’s Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any
adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume that the last Conversion Rate of which it has
knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall
prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Conversion
Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such
adjustment of the Conversion Rate to the Holder of each Security at his last address appearing on
the Security register provided for in  Section 2.03 of this Indenture, within twenty
(20) days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the
legality or validity of any such adjustment.

 

77

 

(j) In any case in which this  Section 11.04 provides that an adjustment shall become
effective immediately after (1) the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution
pursuant to  Section 11.04(a),  (b), or  (d) or (2) the Expiration Time for any tender or exchange
offer pursuant to  Section 11.04(f) (each a “Determination Date”), the Company may elect to defer
until the occurrence of the relevant Adjustment Event (as hereinafter defined) (x) issuing to the
Holder of any Security converted after such Determination Date and before the occurrence of such
Adjustment Event, the additional shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon such
conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such Adjustment Event over and above the Common
Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (y) paying to such
Holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to  Section 11.04(a). For purposes of
this  Section 11.04(j), the term “Adjustment Event” shall mean:

(i) in any case referred to in  Section 11.04(a) or  (d), the date any such dividend
or distribution is paid or made,

(ii) in any case referred to in  Section 11.04(b) hereof, the date of expiration of
such rights or warrants, and

(iii) in any case referred to in  Section 11.04(f) hereof, the date a sale or exchange
of Common Stock pursuant to such tender or exchange offer is consummated and becomes
irrevocable.

(k) For purposes of this  Section 11.04, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time
outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares
issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.
The Company shall not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in
the treasury of the Company.

Section 11.05. Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. (a) If
any of the following events occur, namely (i) any reclassification or change of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination to which  Section 11.04(c) applies
or a change in par value) as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive
Exchange Property with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, (ii) any consolidation, merger,
binding share exchange or combination of the Company with another Person as a result of which
holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive Exchange Property with respect to or in
exchange for such Common Stock, or (iii) any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all the
properties and assets of the Company to any other Person, in each case as a result of which holders
of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive Exchange Property with respect to or in exchange for
such Common Stock, then the Company or the

 

78

 

successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture providing for the
conversion and settlement of the Securities as set forth in this Indenture. Such supplemental
indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable
to the adjustments provided for in this  Article 11. If, in the case of any such reclassification,
change, merger, consolidation, binding share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance, the
Exchange Property receivable thereupon by a holder of Common Stock includes shares of stock or
other securities and assets of a corporation other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as
the case may be, in such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange,
combination, sale or conveyance, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such
other corporation and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the
Holders of the Securities as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason
of the foregoing.

(b) The Conversion Obligation with respect to each $1,000 principal amount of Securities
converted following the effective date of any such transaction, shall be calculated (as provided in
clause  (c) below) based on the Exchange Property. In the event holders of the Common Stock have
the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in such transaction, the Company
shall make adequate provision whereby the Holders of the Securities shall have a reasonable
opportunity to determine the form of consideration, consistent with election rights and
restrictions applicable to holders of Common Stock, into which all of the Securities, treated as a
single class, shall be convertible from and after the effective date of such transaction (subject
to the Company’s ability to settle the conversion obligation, entirely in cash as set forth in
 Section 11.03). Such determination shall be subject to any limitations to which all of the
holders of the Common Stock are subject, such as pro-rata reductions applicable to any portion of
the considerable payable in such event and shall be conducted in such a manner as to be completed
by the date which is the latest of (a) the deadline for elections to be made by holders of the
Common Stock in connection with such transaction, and (b) two Trading Days prior to the anticipated
effective date of such event. The Company shall provide notice of the opportunity to determine the
form of such consideration, as well as notice of the determination made by Holders of the
Securities by issuing a press release and providing a copy of such notice to the Trustee. The
Company shall not become a party to any such transaction unless its terms are consistent with the
proceeding.

(c) The Conversion Obligation in respect of any Securities converted following the effective
date of any such transaction shall be computed in the same manner as set forth in  Section 11.03(a)
except that if the Securities become convertible into Exchange Property, the VWAP of the Common
Stock shall be deemed to equal the sum of (A) 100% of the value of any Exchange Property consisting
of cash received per share of Common Stock, (B) the VWAP of any Exchange Property received per
share of Common Stock consisting of securities that are traded on a U.S. national securities
exchange and (C) the Fair

 

79

 

Market Value of any other Exchange Property received per share, as determined by three independent
nationally recognized investment banks selected by the Company for this purpose. Settlement (in
cash and/or shares) shall occur on the third Business Day following the final day of such Cash
Settlement Period, provided that any amount of the Conversion Settlement Distribution to be
delivered in shares of Common Stock shall be paid in Exchange Property rather than shares of Common
Stock. If the Exchange Property includes more than one kind of property, the amount of Exchange
Property of each kind to be delivered shall be in the proportion that the value of the Exchange
Property (as calculated pursuant to  Section 11.03) of such kind bears to the value of all such
Exchange Property. If the foregoing calculations would require the Company to deliver a fractional
share or unit of Exchange Property to a Holder of Securities being converted, the Company shall
deliver cash in lieu of such fractional share or unit based on the value of the Exchange Property.

(d) The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be
mailed to each Holder of Securities, at its address appearing on the Security register provided for
in  Section 2.03 of this Indenture, within twenty (20) days after execution thereof. Failure to
deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.

(e) The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive
reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, statutory share exchanges, combinations, sales
and conveyances.

If this  Section 11.05 applies to any event or occurrence,  Section 11.04 shall not apply.

Section 11.06. Taxes on Shares Issued. The issue of stock certificates on
conversions of Securities shall be made without charge to the converting Holder for any
documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax in respect of the issue thereof, except for
applicable withholding, if any. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax or duty
which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of stock in any
name other than that of the Holder of any Securities converted, and the Company shall not be
required to issue or deliver any such stock certificate unless and until the Person or Persons
requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have
established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

 

80

 

Section 11.07. Reservation of Shares, Shares to Be Fully Paid; Compliance with
Governmental Requirements. (a) The Company shall provide, free from preemptive rights, out of its
authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of Common Stock for
the conversion of the Securities from time to time as such Securities are presented for conversion.

(b) Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment increasing the Conversion Rate to
an amount that would cause the Conversion Price to be reduced below the then par value, if any, of
the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities, the Company shall take all
corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company
may validly and legally issue shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Rate.

(c) (i) The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon
conversion of Securities shall upon issue be fully paid and non-assessable by the Company and free
from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

(ii) The Company covenants that, if any shares of Common Stock to be provided for the
purpose of conversion of Securities hereunder require registration with or approval of any
governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly
issued upon conversion, the Company shall in good faith and as expeditiously as possible,
to the extent then permitted by the rules and interpretations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (or any successor thereto), endeavor to secure such registration or
approval, as the case may be.

Section 11.08. Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any other Conversion
Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Securities to
determine the Conversion Rate or whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the
Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when
made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided
to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be
accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common
Stock, or of any securities or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the
conversion of any Security; and the Trustee and any other Conversion Agent make no representations
with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any
failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock
certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Security for the
purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the
Company contained in this  Article 11. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither
the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness
of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to  Section 11.05
relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash)
receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their Securities after any event referred to in such
 Section 11.05 or to any calculation or adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to
the provisions of  Section 8.01, may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such
provisions,
and shall be protected in relying upon the Officer’s Certificate (which the Company shall be
obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with
respect thereto.

 

81

 

Section 11.09. Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions. In case:

(a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common
Stock that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to  Section 11.04;

Section 11.10. Shareholder Rights Plan. To the extent that the Company has a rights plan in
effect upon conversion of the Securities into Common Stock, a Holder who converts Securities shall
receive, in addition to the Common Stock, if
any, the rights under the rights plan, unless, prior to any conversion, the rights have
separated from the Common Stock, in which case the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of
separation as if the Company distributed to all Holders of Common Stock, shares of the Company’s
Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness or assets as described in  Section 11.04(d) above, subject
to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights. In lieu
of any such adjustment, the Company may amend such applicable shareholder rights plan to provide
that upon conversion of the Securities the Holders shall receive, in addition to the Common Stock
issuable upon such conversion, the rights which would have attached to such Common Stock if the
rights had not become separated from the Common Stock under such applicable shareholder rights
agreement.

Section 11.11. Unconditional Right of Holders to Convert. Notwithstanding any other
provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and
unconditional, to convert its Security in accordance with this  Article 11 and to bring an action
for the enforcement of any such right to convert, and such rights shall not be impaired or affected
without the consent of such Holder.

or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are
erroneous. Any such certificate or Opinion of Counsel may be based, and may state that it is so

upon which the statements or opinions contained in such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of
Counsel are based;

(3) a statement that, in the opinion of each such person, he has made such examination
or investigation as is necessary to enable such person to express an informed opinion as to
whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and

 

85

 

(4) a statement that, in the opinion of such person, such covenant or condition has
been complied with.

Section 13.06. Separability Clause. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the
Securities shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 13.07. Rules by Trustee, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar. The Trustee
may make reasonable rules for action by or a meeting of Securityholders. The Registrar, the
Conversion Agent and the Paying Agent may make reasonable rules for their functions.

any specified date (including a date for giving notice) is a legal holiday, the action shall be
taken on the next succeeding day that is not a legal holiday, and, if the action to be taken on
such date is a payment in respect of the Securities, no interest shall accrue with respect to such
payment for the intervening period.

Company under the Securities or this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by
reason of such obligations or their creation. By accepting a Security, each Securityholder shall
waive and release all such liability. The waiver and release shall be part of the consideration
for the issue of the Securities.

Section 13.11. Successors. All agreements of the Company in this Indenture and the
Securities shall bind its successor. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind
its successor.

Section 13.12. Multiple Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this
Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same
agreement. One signed copy is enough to prove this Indenture.

Section 13.13. Execution in Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and
the same agreement. Delivery

Section 13.14. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities,
express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors
hereunder (and, pursuant to Article 4, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and Designated Senior

Company or its agents shall be required to deliver to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent a
schedule of its calculations and each of the Trustee and the Conversion Agent shall be entitled to
conclusively rely upon the accuracy of such calculations without independent verification. The
Trustee will forward such calculations to any Holder upon the request of such Holder.

Section 13.17. Table of Contents, Cross-Reference Sheet and Headings. The table of contents
and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of

[FORM OF REVERSE OF GLOBAL SECURITY]

4.875% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of 4.875% Convertible Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2015 (the “Securities”) of CBIZ, Inc., a Delaware corporation (including any successor
corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, the “Company”), issued under an Indenture,
dated as of September 27, 2010 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National
Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The terms of the Security include those stated in the
Indenture, and those set forth in this Security. This Security is subject to all such terms, and
Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of all such terms. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Security and the
terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall control. Capitalized terms used but not
defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture unless otherwise indicated.

1. Interest.

The Securities shall bear Interest on the principal amount thereof at a rate of 4.875% per
year. The Company shall also pay Additional Interest, if any, as set forth in  Section 5.07 and
 Section 7.02 of the Indenture.

Interest shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date to Holders at
the close of business on the preceding Interest Record Date. Interest shall be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30 day months.

The Company shall pay Interest to the Securityholder of record on the Interest Record Date
even if Securityholders elect to require the Company to repurchase the Securities on a date that is
after an Interest Record Date but on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date. In that
instance, the Company shall pay accrued and unpaid Interest on the Securities being repurchased to,
but not including, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, to the Securityholder of record on the
Interest Record Date.

If the principal amount of any Security, or any accrued and unpaid Interest are not paid when
due (whether upon acceleration pursuant to  Section 7.02 of the Indenture, upon the date set for
payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price pursuant to  Section 3.01 hereof, upon the
Stated Maturity of the Securities, or upon the Interest Payment Dates), then in each such case the
overdue amount shall, to the extent permitted by law, bear cash interest at the rate of 4.875% per
annum, compounded semiannually, which interest shall accrue from the date such overdue amount was
originally due to the date payment of such amount, including interest thereon, has been made or
duly provided for. All such interest shall be
payable in cash on demand but if not so demanded shall be paid quarterly to the Holders on the
last day of each quarter.

 

A-5

 

2. Method of Payment.

Except as provided below, the Company shall pay Interest on (i) Global Securities, to DTC in
immediately available funds, (ii) any Certificated Security having an aggregate principal amount of
$2,000,000 or less, by check mailed to the Holder of such Security and (iii) any Certificated
Security having an aggregate principal amount of more than $2,000,000, by wire transfer in
immediately available funds if requested in writing by the Holder of any such Security as least
five business days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date.

At Stated Maturity, the Company shall pay Interest on Certificated Securities at the Company’s
office or agency maintained for that purpose, which initially shall be the office or agency of the
Trustee located at 60 Livingston Avenue, St. Paul MN 55107.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall make payments in cash
in respect of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Prices and at Stated Maturity to Holders who
surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Securities. The
Company shall pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts. However, the Company may make such cash payments by
check payable in such money.

3. [Reserved]

4. Indenture.

The Securities are general unsecured obligations of the Company limited to $130,000,000
aggregate principal amount. The Indenture does not limit other indebtedness of the Company,
secured or unsecured.

5. No Redemption at the Option of the Company.

The Securities shall not be optionally redeemable by the Company, and no sinking fund shall be
provided for the Securities.

6. Purchase by the Company at the Option of the Holder.

At the option of any Holder and subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the
Company shall become obligated to repurchase for cash the Securities held by such Holder after the
occurrence of a Fundamental Change for a Fundamental Change Repurchase Price equal to 100% of the
principal amount of those Securities plus accrued and unpaid Interest on those Securities up to,
but not including, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. To exercise such right,
a Holder shall deliver to the Paying Agent a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice containing
the information set forth in the Indenture at any time on or prior to the close of business on the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and shall deliver the Securities to the Paying Agent as set
forth in the Indenture.

 

A-6

 

Holders have the right to withdraw any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice by delivering to
the Paying Agent a written notice of withdrawal in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

If cash sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of all Securities or
portions thereof to be purchased as of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date is deposited with the
Paying Agent, prior to or on the Business Day following the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date,
Interest shall cease to accrue on such Securities (or portions thereof) on and following such
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, and the Holder thereof shall have no other rights as such other
than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price upon surrender of such Security.

7. [Reserved]

8. Conversion.

Subject to the occurrence of certain events and in compliance with the provisions of the
Indenture (including, without limitation, the conditions to conversion of this Security set forth
in  Section 11.01 thereof), a Holder is entitled, at such Holder’s option, to convert the Holder’s
Security (or any portion of the principal amount thereof that is $1,000 or an integral multiple of
$1,000), into cash or a combination of cash and fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock
at the Conversion Rate in effect at the time of conversion.

The Company shall notify Holders of any event triggering the right to convert the Securities
prior to July 31, 2015 as specified in the Indenture.

A Security in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice,
exercising the option of such Holder to require the Company to purchase such Security may be
converted only if such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with the
terms of the Indenture.

The initial Conversion Rate is 134.9255 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount,
subject to adjustment in certain events described in the Indenture. The Conversion Rate shall not
be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid Interest. Upon conversion, no payment shall be made by the
Company with respect to accrued and unpaid Interest, except as provided in the Indenture. Instead,
such amount shall be deemed paid by the cash and shares of Common Stock, if any, delivered upon
conversion of any Security. In addition, no payment
or adjustment shall be made in respect of dividends on the Common Stock, except as set forth
in the Indenture.

 

A-7

 

In addition, following certain corporate transactions as set forth in  Section 11.01(b) of the
Indenture that occur prior to the Stated Maturity and that also constitute a Change of Control, a
Holder who elects to convert its Securities during the period beginning on the effective date of
such Change of Control and ending on the relevant Fundamental Change Repurchase Date for such
corporate transaction shall be entitled to receive Additional Shares of Common Stock upon
conversion (subject to the Company’s ability to settle the conversion entirely in cash as set forth
in the Indenture).

To surrender a Security for conversion, a Holder must (1) complete and manually sign the
Conversion Notice attached hereto (or complete and manually sign a facsimile of such notice) and
deliver such notice to the Conversion Agent, (2) surrender the Security to the Conversion Agent,
(3) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, (4) if required by
 Section 11.02(g) of the Indenture, pay Interest and (5) pay any transfer or similar tax, if
required.

No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of any Security. Instead
of any fractional share of Common Stock that would otherwise be issued upon conversion of such
Security, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment as provided in the Indenture.

If the Company engages in any reclassification of the Common Stock, (other than a subdivision
or combination of its outstanding Common Stock, or a change in par value, or from par value to no
par value, or from no par value to par value) or is party to a consolidation, merger, binding share
exchange or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, and as a result of any such event
the Holders of Common Stock would be entitled to receive Exchange Property for their Common Stock,
upon conversion of the Securities after the effective date of such event, the Conversion Obligation
and the Conversion Settlement Distribution shall be based on the applicable Conversion Rate and the
Exchange Property, in each case in accordance with the Indenture.

9. Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar.

Initially, the Trustee shall act as Paying Agent, Conversion Agent and Registrar. The Company
may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Registrar without notice, other than
notice to the Trustee. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates may act
as Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Registrar.

 

A-8

 

10. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

The Securities are in fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 of
principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000. A Holder may transfer or exchange Securities in
accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish
appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or
permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not transfer or exchange any Securities in respect
of which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been given and not withdrawn (except, in the
case of a Security to be purchased in part, the portion of the Security not to be purchased).

11. Persons Deemed Owners.

The registered Holder of this Security may be treated as the owner of this Security for all
purposes.

principal amount of its 4.875% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015 (the “Firm
Notes”). In addition, the Company has granted to the Initial Purchasers an option to purchase
up to an additional $15,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 4.875% Convertible Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2015 (the “Optional Notes” and, together with the Firm Notes, the
“Notes”). Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“Merrill Lynch”) has
agreed to act as representative of the several Initial Purchasers (in such capacity, the
“Representative”) in connection with the offering and sale of the Notes. To the extent
that there are no additional Initial Purchasers listed on Schedule A other than you, the terms
Representative and Initial Purchasers as used herein shall mean you, as Initial Purchasers. The
terms Representative and Initial Purchasers shall mean either the singular or plural as the context

The Notes will be convertible on the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth in the
Indenture (as defined below). As used herein, “Conversion Shares” means the shares of
common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) to be received

Notes will be issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”) to be dated September 27,
2010, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

The Notes will be offered and sold to the Initial Purchasers without being registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) thereunder (the “Securities Act”), in
reliance upon an exemption therefrom.

This Agreement, the Indenture, and the Notes are referred to herein collectively as the
“Operative Documents.”

The Company understands that the Initial Purchasers propose to make an offering of the Notes
on the terms and in the manner set forth herein and in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum (as
defined below) and the Final Offering Memorandum (as defined below) and agrees that the Initial
Purchasers may resell, subject to the conditions set forth herein, all or a
portion of the Notes to purchasers (the “Subsequent Purchasers”) at any time after the
date of this Agreement.

(q) Incorporation and Good Standing of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Each of the
Company and its subsidiaries has been duly incorporated or formed and is validly existing as a
corporation or limited liability company in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation or formation and has corporate or limited liability company power and authority
to own or lease, as the case may be, and operate its properties and to conduct its business as
described in the Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum and, in the case of the
Company, to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement. Each of the Company and
its subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or limited liability company, as
applicable, to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct
of business, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify or to be in good
standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a material adverse effect on the
condition, financial or otherwise, or on the earnings, business, properties or operations, whether
or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, of the Company and its
subsidiaries, considered as one entity (a “Material Adverse Effect”). All of the issued
limited liability company interests or shares of capital stock, as applicable, of each subsidiary
have been duly authorized and validly issued in accordance with the organizational documents of
such subsidiary, and are fully paid (to the extent required under such subsidiary’s organizational
documents) and non-assessable, except as such non-assessability may be affected by Section 18-607
of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “Delaware LLC Act”) or Section 101.206
of the Texas Business Organizations Code; all shares of capital stock or limited liability company
interests (except for directors’ qualifying shares or interests) of the subsidiaries are owned
directly or indirectly by the Company, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, equities or
claims other than as described in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum. The subsidiaries listed in
Exhibit 21 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009
are the only “subsidiaries” (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of the
Company (excluding those subsidiaries that may be omitted from such list pursuant to Form 10-K and
subsidiaries that may have been acquired since the date of Exhibit 21).

(r) Capitalization and Other Capital Stock Matters. The authorized, issued and
outstanding capital stock of the Company is as set forth in each of the Disclosure Package and the
Final Offering Memorandum under the caption “Capitalization” (other than for subsequent issuances,
if any, pursuant to employee benefit plans described in the Disclosure Package and the Final
Offering Memorandum or upon exercise of outstanding options or warrants or conversion of
outstanding convertible notes, as described in the Disclosure Package and the Final Offering
Memorandum, as the case may be). The Common Stock (including the Conversion Shares) conforms in
all material respects to the description thereof contained in the Disclosure Package and the Final
Offering Memorandum. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock have been duly
authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and have been issued in compliance
with federal and state securities laws. None of the outstanding shares of Common Stock were issued
in violation of any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights to subscribe
for or purchase securities of the Company. There are no authorized or outstanding options,
warrants, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other rights to purchase, or equity or debt
securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, any capital stock of the Company or
any of its subsidiaries other than those described in the Disclosure Package and the Final Offering
Memorandum. The description of the Company’s stock option, stock bonus and other stock plans or
arrangements, and the options or other rights granted thereunder, set forth in the Disclosure
Package and the Final Offering Memorandum accurately and fairly presents and summarizes in all
material respects such plans, arrangements, options and rights.

(s) Non-Contravention of Existing Instruments; No Further Authorizations or Approvals
Required. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries (i) is in violation of its charter
or by-laws, (ii) is (or, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, would be) in default
(“Default”) under any indenture, mortgage, loan or credit agreement, note, contract,
franchise, lease or other instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or
by which it or any of them may be bound, or to which any of the property or assets of the Company
or any of its subsidiaries is subject (each, an “Existing Instrument”), or (iii) is in
violation of any statute, law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree of any court, regulatory
body, administrative agency, governmental body, arbitrator or other authority having jurisdiction
over the Company or such subsidiary or any of its properties, as applicable, except with respect to
clauses (ii) and (iii), for such Defaults as would not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Company’s execution, delivery and performance of the Operative Documents and consummation
of the transactions contemplated thereby, by the Disclosure Package and by the Final Offering
Memorandum (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and will not result in
any violation of the charter or by-laws of the Company or any subsidiary, (ii) will not conflict
with or constitute a breach of, or Default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any
lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries
pursuant to, or require the consent of any other party to, any Existing Instrument and (iii) will
not result in any violation of any statute, law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree
applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any court, regulatory body, administrative
agency, governmental body, arbitrator or other authority having jurisdiction over the Company or
any of its subsidiaries or any of its or their properties, except in the case of clauses (ii) and
(iii), as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

No consent, approval, authorization or other order of, or registration or filing with, any
court or other governmental or regulatory authority or agency is required for the Company’s
execution, delivery and performance of the Operative Documents and consummation of the transactions
contemplated thereby, by the Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum, except for such
consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, filings, registrations or qualifications as may be
required under state securities or Blue Sky laws in connection with the purchase and distribution
of the Notes by the Initial Purchasers.

(t) No Stamp or Transfer Taxes. There are no stamp or other issuance or transfer
taxes or duties or other similar fees or charges required to be paid in connection with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement or the issuance or sale by the Company of the Notes or
upon the issuance of Common Stock upon the conversion thereof.

(u) No Material Actions or Proceedings. Except as otherwise disclosed in the
Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum, there are no legal or
governmental actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the best of the Company’s knowledge,
threatened (i) against or affecting the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) which has as the
subject thereof any officer or director of, or property owned or leased by, the Company or any of
its subsidiaries or (iii) relating to environmental or discrimination matters, where in any such
case (A) there is a reasonable possibility that such action, suit or proceeding might be determined
adversely to the Company or such subsidiary and (B) any such action, suit or proceeding, if so
determined adversely, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or
adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(v) Labor Matters. No material labor dispute with the employees of the Company or any
of its subsidiaries exists or to the knowledge of the Company is threatened or imminent.

(w) Intellectual Property Rights. The Company or its subsidiaries own or are licensed
or otherwise have the right to use all of the material patents, trademarks, service marks, trade
names, copyrights, contractual franchises, authorizations and other material rights that are
reasonably necessary for the operation of their respective businesses, without conflict with the
rights of any other person. To the best knowledge of the Company, no slogan or other advertising
device, product, process, method, substance, part or other material now employed, or now
contemplated to be employed, by the Company or any subsidiary infringes upon any rights held by any
other person, and no claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or threatened,
which, in any case, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(x) All Necessary Permits, etc. The Company and each subsidiary possess such valid
and current licenses, certificates, authorizations or permits issued by the appropriate state,
federal or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct their respective businesses,
except where the failure to possess such licenses, certificates, authorizations or permits would
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any
subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of, or
non-compliance with, any such certificate, authorization or permit which, singly or in the
aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(y) Title to Properties. The Company and each of its subsidiaries has good and
defensible title to all the properties and assets reflected as owned in the financial statements
included in the Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum, in each case free and clear
of any security interests, mortgages, liens, encumbrances, equities, claims and other defects,
except such as may be described in the Offering Memorandum or such as do not, in the aggregate,
materially and adversely affect the value of such property and do not, in the aggregate, materially
interfere with the use made or proposed to be made of such property by the Company or such
subsidiary. The real property, improvements, equipment and personal property held under lease by
the Company or any subsidiary are held under valid and enforceable leases, with such exceptions as
may be described in the Offering Memorandum or are not material and do not, in the aggregate,
materially interfere with the use made or proposed to be made of such real property, improvements,
equipment or personal property by the Company or such subsidiary.

(z) Tax Law Compliance. The Company and its subsidiaries have filed all necessary
federal, state, local and foreign income and franchise tax returns in a timely manner or have
properly requested extensions thereof and have paid all taxes required to be paid by any of them
and, if due and payable, any related or similar assessment, fine or penalty levied against any of
them, except for any taxes, assessments, fines or penalties as may be being contested in good faith
and by appropriate proceedings or which, if not paid, would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

and requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company
Act”). The Company is not, and, after receipt of payment for the Notes and application of the
proceeds as described under “Use of Proceeds” in the Disclosure Package and the Final Offering

compliance in all material respects with the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d)

similar businesses and owning similar properties in localities where the Company or such
subsidiary operates, except to the extent the Company maintains reasonable self-insurance with
respect to such risks (through an affiliate or otherwise).

(dd) No Restriction on Distributions. No subsidiary of the Company is currently
prohibited under any agreement or instrument, directly or indirectly, from paying any dividends to
the Company, from making any other distribution on such subsidiary’s capital stock, from repaying

of such subsidiary’s property or assets to the Company or any other subsidiary of the Company,
except as described in or contemplated by the Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum.

take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that might be reasonably expected to cause
or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to
facilitate the sale or resale of the Notes.

related party transactions involving the Company or any subsidiary or any other person that have

form of general solicitation or general advertising in connection with the offering of the Notes or
the Conversion Shares (as those terms are used in Regulation D) under the Securities Act or in any
manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act; the

disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-14 under the
Exchange Act); such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that material
information relating to the Company and its subsidiaries is made known to the chief executive
officer and chief financial officer of the Company by others within the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, and such disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably effective to perform the
functions for which they were established subject to the limitations of any such control system;
the Company’s auditors and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company have been
advised of: (i) any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of
internal controls which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize,
and report financial data; and (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
other employees who have a role in the Company’s internal controls; and since the date of the most
recent evaluation of such disclosure controls and procedures, there have been no significant
changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls,
including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

(ii) No Unlawful Contributions or Other Payments. Neither the Company nor any of its
subsidiaries nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, agent, employee or

interstate commerce corruptly in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay or authorization
of the payment of any money, or other property, gift, promise to give, or authorization of the
giving of anything of value to any “foreign official” (as such term is defined in the FCPA) or any
foreign political party or official thereof or any candidate for foreign political office, in
contravention of the FCPA and the Company, its subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of the Company,
its affiliates have conducted their businesses in compliance with the FCPA and have instituted and
maintain policies and procedures designed to ensure, and which are reasonably expected to continue
to ensure, continued compliance therewith. “FCPA” means Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as
amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder.

subsidiaries are and have been conducted at all times in compliance with applicable financial
recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of
1970, as amended, the money laundering statutes of all applicable jurisdictions, the rules and
regulations thereunder and any related or similar rules, regulations or guidelines issued,
administered or enforced by any governmental agency (collectively, the “Money Laundering
Laws”) and no action, suit or proceeding by or before any court or governmental agency,
authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries with respect
to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened.

to the knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, agent, employee or affiliate of the Company
or any of its subsidiaries is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of
Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department (“OFAC”); and the Company will not

employees or former employees of the Company related to their employment that could have a Material
Adverse Effect on the Company. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “Plan” means a plan
(within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA) subject to Title IV of ERISA with respect to which
any member of the Company may have any liability.

(nn) Brokers. There is no broker, finder or other party (other than you) that is
entitled to receive from the Company any brokerage or finder’s fee or other fee or commission as a
result of any transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(oo) Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance. The Company and, to the Company’s knowledge, each of
the Company’s directors or officers, in their capacities as such, are in compliance in all material
respects with the applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and
regulations promulgated in connection therewith (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”).

(pp) Internal Controls and Procedures. The Company maintains a system of accounting
controls that is in compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, is designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and
is sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance
with management’s general or specific authorization; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles and to maintain accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in
accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded
accountability for assets is compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate
action is taken with respect to any differences.

(qq) No Material Weakness in Internal Controls. Except as disclosed in the
Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum, since the end of the Company’s
most recent audited fiscal year, there has been (i) no material weakness in the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting (whether or not remediated) and (ii) no
change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting.

 

12

 

(rr) Lending Relationship. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Package and the
Final Offering Memorandum, the Company does not have any material lending or other relationship
with any bank or lending affiliate of any Initial Purchaser.

Any certificate signed by an officer of the Company and delivered to the Representative or to
counsel for the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the
Company to each Initial Purchaser as to the matters set forth therein.

	 	SECTION 2.	 	PURCHASE, SALE AND DELIVERY OF THE NOTES

(a) The Firm Notes. The Company agrees to issue and sell to the several Initial
Purchasers the Firm Notes upon the terms herein set forth. On the basis of the representations,
warranties and agreements herein contained, and upon the terms but subject to the conditions herein
set forth, the Initial Purchasers agree, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company
the respective aggregate principal amount of Firm Notes set forth opposite their names on Schedule
A at a purchase price of 97.25% of the aggregate principal amount thereof.

(b) The Closing Date. Delivery of the Firm Notes to be purchased by the Initial
Purchasers and payment therefor shall be made at the offices of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, 450
Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10017 (or such other place as may be agreed to by the Company
and the Representatives) at 9:00 a.m. New York City time, on September 27, 2010, or such other time
and date not later than October 11, 2010 as the Representative shall designate by notice to the
Company (the time and date of such closing are called the “Closing Date”).

(c) The Optional Notes; any Subsequent Closing Date. In addition, on the basis of the
representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, and upon the terms but subject to the
conditions herein set forth, the Company hereby grants an option to the several Initial Purchasers
to purchase, severally and not jointly, up to $15,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Optional
Notes from the Company at the same price as the purchase price to be paid by the Initial Purchasers
for the Firm Notes. The option granted hereunder may be exercised at any time and from time to
time upon notice by the Representative to the Company, which notice may be given at any time within
30 days from the date of this Agreement. Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount (which shall
be an integral multiple of $1,000 in aggregate principal amount) of Optional Notes as to which the
Initial Purchasers are exercising the option, (ii) the names and denominations in which the
Optional Notes are to be registered and (iii) the time, date and place at which such Notes will be
delivered (which time and date may be simultaneous with, but not earlier than, the Closing Date;
and in such case the term “Closing Date” shall refer to the time and date of delivery of
the Firm Notes and the Optional Notes). Such time and date of delivery, if subsequent to the
Closing Date, is called a “Subsequent Closing Date” and shall be determined by the
Representative. A Subsequent Closing Date shall be within the 30-day period beginning on the
Closing Date. If any Optional Notes are to be purchased, each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally
and not jointly, to purchase the principal amount of Optional Notes (subject to such adjustments to
eliminate fractional amount as the Representative may determine) that bears the same proportion to
the total principal amount of Optional Notes to be purchased as the principal
amount of Firm Notes set forth on Schedule A opposite the name of such Initial Purchaser bears
to the total principal amount of Firm Notes.

 

13

 

(d) Payment for the Notes. Payment for the Notes shall be made at the Closing Date
(and, if applicable, at any Subsequent Closing Date) by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the order of the Company.

It is understood that the Representative has been authorized, for its own account and the
accounts of the several Initial Purchasers, to accept delivery of and receipt for, and make payment
of the purchase price for, the Firm Notes and any Optional Notes the Initial Purchasers have agreed
to purchase. Merrill Lynch, individually and not as the Representative of the Initial Purchasers,
may (but shall not be obligated to) make payment for any Notes to be purchased by any Initial
Purchaser whose funds shall not have been received by the Representative by the Closing Date or any
Subsequent Closing Date, as the case may be, for the account of such Initial Purchaser, but any
such payment shall not relieve such Initial Purchaser from any of its obligations under this
Agreement.

(e) Delivery of the Notes. The Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to
the Representative for the accounts of the several Initial Purchasers the Firm Notes at the Closing
Date, against the irrevocable release of a wire transfer of immediately available funds for the
amount of the purchase price therefor. The Company shall also deliver, or cause to be delivered,
to the Representative for the accounts of the several Initial Purchasers, the Optional Notes the
Initial Purchasers have agreed to purchase at the Closing Date or any Subsequent Closing Date, as
the case may be, against the irrevocable release of a wire transfer of immediately available funds
for the amount of the purchase price therefor. Delivery of the Notes shall be made through the
facilities of The Depository Trust Company unless the Representative shall otherwise instruct.
Time shall be of the essence, and delivery at the time and place specified in this Agreement is a
further condition to the obligations of the Initial Purchasers.

	 	SECTION 3.	 	COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

The Company covenants and agrees with each Initial Purchaser as follows:

(a) Representative’s Review of Proposed Amendments and Supplements. During such
period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date of the completion of the resale of the
Notes by the Initial Purchasers (as notified by the Initial Purchasers to the Company), prior to
amending or supplementing the Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum, the Company
shall furnish to the Representative for review a copy of each such proposed amendment or
supplement, and the Company shall not print, use or distribute such proposed amendment or
supplement to which the Representative reasonably objects.

 

14

 

(b) Amendments and Supplements to the Disclosure Package, the Offering Memorandum and
Other Securities Act Matters. If, at any time prior to the completion of the resale of the
Notes by the Initial Purchasers (as notified by the Initial Purchasers to the Company), any event
or development shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or
supplement the Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum in order that the Disclosure
Package or the Final Offering Memorandum will not include an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made or then
prevailing, as the case may be, not misleading, or if in the opinion of the Representative or
counsel for the Initial Purchasers it is otherwise necessary to amend or supplement the Disclosure
Package or the Final Offering Memorandum to comply with law, the Company shall promptly notify the
Initial Purchasers and prepare, subject to SECTION 3(a) hereof, and furnish at its own expense to
the Initial Purchasers and to dealers, amendments or supplements to the Disclosure Package or the
Final Offering Memorandum so that the statements in the Disclosure Package or the Final Offering
Memorandum as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances then
prevailing or under which they were made, as the case may be, be misleading or so that the
Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum, as amended or supplemented, will comply with
law.

(c) Copies of Offering Memorandum. The Company agrees to furnish to the
Representative, without charge, until the earlier of nine months after the date hereof or the
completion of the resale of the Notes by the Initial Purchasers (as notified by the Initial
Purchasers to the Company) as many copies of the Disclosure Package and the Final Offering
Memorandum and any amendments and supplements thereto as the Representative may reasonably request.

(d) Blue Sky Compliance. The Company shall cooperate with the Representative and
counsel for the Initial Purchasers, as the Initial Purchasers may reasonably request from time to
time, to qualify or register the Notes for sale under (or obtain exemptions from the application
of) the state securities or blue sky laws or Canadian provincial Securities laws of those
jurisdictions designated by the Representative, shall comply with such laws and shall continue such
qualifications, registrations and exemptions in effect so long as required for the distribution of
the Notes. The Company shall not be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to take any
action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not
presently qualified or where it would be subject to taxation as a foreign corporation. The Company
will advise the Representative promptly of the suspension of the qualification or registration of
(or any such exemption relating to) the Notes for offering, sale or trading in any jurisdiction or
any initiation or threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, and in the event of the issuance
of any order suspending such qualification, registration or exemption, the Company shall use its
best efforts to obtain the withdrawal thereof at the earliest possible moment.

(e) Rule 144A Information. For so long as any of the Notes are “restricted
securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, the Company shall
provide to any holder of the Notes or to any prospective purchaser of the Notes designated by any
holder, upon request of such holder or prospective purchaser, information required to be provided
by Rule 144A(d)(4) of the Securities Act if, at the time of such request, the Company is not
subject to the reporting requirements under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

(f) Legends. Each of the Notes will bear, to the extent applicable, the legend
contained in “Notice to Investors” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering
Memorandum for the time period and upon the other terms stated therein.

 

15

 

(g) Written Information Concerning the Offering. Without the prior written consent of
the Representative, the Company will not give to any prospective purchaser of the Notes or any
other person not in its employ (and other than its professional advisors) any written information
concerning the offering of the Notes other than the Disclosure Package, the Final Offering
Memorandum or any other offering materials prepared by or with the prior consent of the
Representative.

(h) No General Solicitation. The Company will not, and will cause its subsidiaries
not to, solicit any offer to buy or offer to sell the Notes by means of any form of general
solicitation or general advertising (as those terms are used in Regulation D under the Securities
Act) or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act.

(i) No Integration. The Company will not, and will cause its subsidiaries not to,
sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any “security”
(as defined in the Securities Act) in a transaction that could be integrated with the sale of the
Notes in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the Notes.

(j) DTC. The Company will cooperate with the Representative and use its best efforts
to permit the Notes to be eligible for clearance and settlement through The Depository Trust
Company.

(k) Rule 144 Tolling. During the period of one year after the last Closing Date, the
Company will not, and will not permit any of its “affiliates” (as defined in Rule 144 under the
Securities Act) to, resell any of the Notes which constitute “restricted securities” under Rule 144
that have been reacquired by any of them.

(l) Use of Proceeds. The Company shall apply the net proceeds from the sale of the
Notes sold by it in the manner described under the caption “Use of Proceeds” in the Disclosure
Package and the Final Offering Memorandum.

(m) Available Conversion Shares. The Company will reserve and keep available at all
times, free of pre-emptive rights, the full number of Conversion Shares.

(n) Adjustment of Conversion Price. Between the date hereof and the Closing Date, the
Company will not do or authorize any act or thing that would result in an adjustment of the
conversion price of the Notes.

(o) Agreement Not to Offer or Sell Additional Notes. During the period commencing on
the date hereof and ending on the 90th day following the date of the Final Offering Memorandum, the
Company will not, without the prior written consent of Merrill Lynch (which consent may be withheld
at the sole discretion of Merrill Lynch), directly or indirectly, sell, offer, contract or grant
any option to sell, pledge, transfer or establish an open “put equivalent position” or liquidate or
decrease a “call equivalent position” within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(h) under the Exchange Act,
or otherwise dispose of or transfer (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might
reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition of), or announce the offering of, or file any
registration statement under the Securities Act in respect of, any shares of Common Stock, options
or

 

16

 

warrants to acquire shares of the Common Stock or securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock (other
than as contemplated by this Agreement with respect to the Notes, including any Conversion Shares);
provided, however, that the Company may (i) grant restricted stock and issue shares of its Common
Stock or options to purchase its Common Stock, or Common Stock upon exercise of options, or Common
Stock upon conversion of convertible notes, pursuant to any stock option, stock bonus or other
stock plan, warrant, note or arrangement outstanding or in effect on the date hereof and described
in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum, and (ii) issue shares of
its Common Stock in connection with any prior or future acquisition of businesses by the Company,
including in connection with related earn-out obligations, provided that (x) the aggregate value of
such stock, measured on the date of issuance, does not exceed $30,000,000 and (y) that any such
stock issued in connection with acquisitions consummated after the date hereof may not be
transferred, sold or otherwise disposed of prior to the date 90 days after the date hereof.

(p) Future Reports to the Representative. At any time when the Company is not subject
to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15 of the Exchange Act and any Notes remain
outstanding, the Company will furnish to the Representative and, upon request, to each of the other
Initial Purchasers: (i) as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year, copies of the
Annual Report of the Company containing the balance sheet of the Company as of the close of such
fiscal year and statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended
and the opinion thereon of the Company’s independent public or certified public accountants; (ii)
as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, copies of each proxy statement, Annual Report on

any securities exchange; and (iii) as soon as available, copies of any report or communication of
the Company mailed generally to holders of its capital stock or debt securities (including the
holders of the Notes); provided that, if the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements
of Section 13 or 15 of the Exchange Act and the Company elects to voluntarily file such documents
with the Commission, the requirements of this SECTION 3(p) shall not apply if such documents are
filed with the Commission within the time periods specified by the Commission’s rules and
regulations under Section 13 or 15 of the Exchange Act.

(q) Investment Limitation. The Company shall not invest or otherwise use the proceeds
received by the Company from its sale of the Notes in such a manner as would require the Company or
any of its subsidiaries to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

(r) No Manipulation of Price. The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any
action designed to cause or result in, or that has constituted or might reasonably be expected to
constitute, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of
any securities of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Notes.

(s) New Lock-Up Agreements. The Company will enforce all agreements between the
Company and any of its security holders to be entered into pursuant to this agreement that prohibit

restrictions upon any such securities of the Company that are bound by such “lock-up”
agreements for the duration of the periods contemplated in such agreements.

which such Initial Purchaser, affiliate, director, officer, employee, agent or such controlling

supplement thereto), or arises out of or is based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, and only to
the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission
was made in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Final Offering Memorandum or the Disclosure
Package (or any amendment or supplement thereto),

 

22

 

in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by the Representative expressly for use therein; and to reimburse the Company, or any such director,
officer, employee, agent or controlling person for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred
by the Company, or any such director, officer, employee, agent or controlling person in connection
with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage,
liability, expense or action. The Company hereby acknowledges that the only information that the
Initial Purchasers have furnished to the Company expressly for use in the Preliminary Offering
Memorandum, the Final Offering Memorandum or the Disclosure Package (or any amendment or supplement
thereto) are the statements set forth in Schedule B hereto. The indemnity agreement set forth in
this SECTION 8(b) shall be in addition to any liabilities that each Initial Purchaser may otherwise
have.

(c) Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an
indemnified party under this SECTION 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such
indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party
under this SECTION 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the
failure to so notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph
(a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such
failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and
(ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified
party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. In case
any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or
intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to
participate in, and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties
similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving
the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such
action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
shall have reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying
party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be
legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or
additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall
have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise
participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon
receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying
party’s election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of
counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8
for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in
accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the
indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (other
than local counsel), reasonably approved by the indemnifying party (or by Merrill Lynch in the case
of (b), representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the
indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to
represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the
action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the
indemnifying party.

 

23

 

(d) Settlements. The indemnifying party under this SECTION 8 shall not be liable for
any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which shall not be withheld
unreasonably, but if settled with such consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff,
the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage,
liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing
sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to
reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by (c) hereof, the
indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected
without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt
by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have
reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such
settlement; provided that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any such settlement if the
indemnifying party has reimbursed the indemnified party for such fees and expenses other than that
portion which the indemnifying party is contesting in good faith as being unreasonable. No
indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any
settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action,
suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and
indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such
settlement, compromise or consent (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party
from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (y)
does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or
on behalf of any indemnified party.

	 	SECTION 9.	 	CONTRIBUTION

If the indemnification provided for in SECTION 8 is for any reason unavailable to or otherwise
insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the
aggregate amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein (i) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the
Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, from the offering of the Notes pursuant to this Agreement or
(ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i)
above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on
the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or alleged
omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one
hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Notes
pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total
net proceeds from the offering of the Notes pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses)
received by the Company, and the total discount received by the Initial Purchasers bear to the
aggregate initial offering price of the Notes. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand,
and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the
one hand, or the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement
or omission.

 

24

 

The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in
SECTION 8(c), any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection
with investigating or defending any action or claim.

The Company and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this SECTION 9 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial
Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which
does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this SECTION 9.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this SECTION 9, no Initial Purchaser shall be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the purchase discount or commission received by such Initial
Purchaser in connection with the Notes purchased by it hereunder. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial
Purchasers’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this SECTION 9 are several, and not joint, in
proportion to their respective commitments as set forth opposite their names in Schedule A. For
purposes of this SECTION 9, each affiliate, director, officer, employee and agent of an Initial
Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial
Purchaser, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company, and each person, if any,
who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have
the same rights to contribution as the Company.

	 	SECTION 10.	 	DEFAULT OF ONE OR MORE OF THE SEVERAL INITIAL PURCHASERS

If, on the Closing Date or any Subsequent Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of
the several Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Notes that it or they have agreed
to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Notes which such
defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase does
not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be purchased on such date, the
other Initial Purchasers shall be obligated, severally, in the proportions that the principal
amount of Firm Notes set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule A bears to the aggregate
principal amount of Firm Notes set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Initial
Purchasers, or in such other proportions as may be specified by the Representative with the consent
of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, to purchase the Notes which such defaulting Initial
Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date. If, on the
Closing Date or any Subsequent Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of the Initial
Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Notes and the aggregate principal amount of Notes with
respect to which such default occurs exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be
purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to the Representative and the Company for the
purchase of such Notes are not made within 48 hours after such

 

25

 

default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability of any party (other than a defaulting Initial
Purchaser) to any other party except that the provisions of SECTION 4, SECTION 7, SECTION 8 and
SECTION 9 shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination. In any such case
either the Representative or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date or any
Subsequent Closing Date, as the case may be, but in no event for longer than seven full business
days in order that the required changes, if any, to the Final Offering Memorandum or any other
documents or arrangements may be effected; provided that any Subsequent Closing Date, as postponed,
shall be on a date within a 30-day period beginning on the Closing Date. Nothing contained herein
shall relieve a defaulting Initial Purchaser of any liability it may have to the Company for
damages caused by its default.

As used in this Agreement, the term “Initial Purchaser” shall be deemed to include any person
substituted for a defaulting Initial Purchaser under this SECTION 10. Any action taken under this
SECTION 10 shall not relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability in respect of any
default of such Initial Purchaser under this Agreement.

	 	SECTION 11.	 	TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT

On or prior to the Closing Date this Agreement may be terminated by the Representative by
notice given to the Company if at any time (i) trading or quotation in any of the Company’s
securities shall have been suspended or limited by the Commission or by the New York Stock
Exchange, or trading in securities generally on either The New York Stock Exchange or The Nasdaq
Stock Market shall have been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum prices shall have been
generally established on any of such stock exchanges by the Commission or FINRA; (ii) a general
banking moratorium shall have been declared by any federal or New York authority or a material
disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United
States has occurred; or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of national or
international hostilities or any crisis or calamity, or any change in the United States or
international financial markets, or any substantial change or development involving a prospective
substantial change in United States’ or international political, financial or economic conditions,
as in the judgment of the Representative is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or
inadvisable to market the Notes in the manner and on the terms described in the Final Offering
Memorandum or to enforce contracts for the sale of securities. Any termination pursuant to this
SECTION 11 shall be without liability on the part of (A) the Company to any Initial Purchaser,
except that the Company shall be obligated to reimburse the expenses of the Representative and the
Initial Purchasers pursuant to SECTION 4 and SECTION 7 hereof or (B) any Initial Purchaser to the
Company, and the provisions of SECTION 8 and SECTION 9 hereof shall at all times be effective and
shall survive such termination.

	 	SECTION 12.	 	NO ADVISORY OR FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY

The Company acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the purchase and sale of the Notes pursuant to
this Agreement, including the determination of the offering price of the Notes and any related
discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the
one hand, and the several Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and the Company is capable of
evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the
transactions

 

26

 

contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) in connection with each transaction contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction each Initial
Purchaser is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or
fiduciary of the Company or its affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other
party; (iii) no Initial Purchaser has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary
responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby
or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Initial Purchaser has advised or is
currently advising the Company on other matters) and no Initial Purchaser has any obligation to the
Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby except the obligations expressly set forth
in this Agreement; (iv) the several Initial Purchasers and their respective affiliates may be
engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the
Company and that the several Initial Purchasers have no obligation to disclose any of such
interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) the Initial
Purchasers have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to the
offering contemplated hereby and the Company has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory
and tax advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate.

This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral)
between the Company and the several Initial Purchasers, or any of them, with respect to the subject
matter hereof. The Company hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any
claims that the Company may have against the several Initial Purchasers with respect to any breach
or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.

	 	SECTION 13.	 	REPRESENTATIONS AND INDEMNITIES TO SURVIVE DELIVERY

The respective indemnities, contribution, agreements, representations, warranties and other
statements of the Company, of its officers and of the several Initial Purchasers set forth in or
made pursuant to this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of
(i) any investigation, or statement as to the result hereof, made by or on behalf of any Initial
Purchaser or the Company or any of its or their partners, officers, directors, employees, agents or
any controlling person, as the case may be, (ii) acceptance of the Notes and payment for them
hereunder or (iii) any termination of this Agreement.

Re: CBIZ, Inc. (the “Company”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned is an owner of record or beneficially of certain shares of common stock, $0.01
par value, of the Company (“Common Stock”) or securities convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for Common Stock. The Company proposes to carry out an offering of its Convertible
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2015, which will be convertible into cash and in certain
circumstances Common Stock (the “Offering”) for which you will act as the initial purchaser. The
undersigned recognizes that the Offering will be of benefit to the undersigned and will benefit the
Company by, among other things, raising additional capital for its operations. The undersigned
acknowledges that you are relying on the representations and agreements of the undersigned
contained in this letter in carrying out the Offering and in entering into purchase arrangements
with the Company with respect to the Offering.

In consideration of the foregoing, the undersigned hereby agrees that the undersigned will not
(and will cause any spouse or immediate family member of the spouse or the undersigned living in
the undersigned’s household not to), without the prior written consent of Merrill Lynch, Pierce,
Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“Merrill Lynch”) (which consent may be withheld in its sole
discretion), directly or indirectly, sell, offer, contract or grant any option to sell (including
without limitation any short sale), pledge, transfer, establish an open “put equivalent position”
or liquidate or decrease a “call equivalent position” within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(h) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise dispose of or transfer (or enter into any
transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition
of), including the filing (or participation in the filing of) of a registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission in respect of, any shares of Common Stock, options or warrants
to acquire shares of Common Stock, or securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible
into shares of Common Stock currently or hereafter owned either of record or beneficially (as
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) by the undersigned (or
such spouse or family member), or publicly announce an intention to do
any of the foregoing, for a period commencing on the date hereof and continuing through the
close of trading on the date 90 days after the date of the offering memorandum relating to the
Offering (the “Lock-Up Period”).

 

B-1

 

The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (i) bona fide gifts, provided that the transferee
agrees in writing with you to be bound by the terms of this letter agreement, (ii) dispositions to
any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned and/or immediate family members of
the undersigned, provided that such trust agrees in writing with you to be bound by the terms of
this letter agreement, and (iii) sales or other dispositions made upon exercise of options in an
amount not to exceed the aggregate exercise price of such options plus any tax liability associated
with the exercise of the options.

The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the
Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of shares of Common Stock or securities
convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock held by the undersigned except in
compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of Merrill Lynch,
it will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to,
the registration of any shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or
exchangeable for Common Stock. With respect to the Offering only, the undersigned waives any
registration rights relating to registration under the Securities Act of any Common Stock owned
either of record or beneficially by the undersigned, including any rights to receive notice of the
Offering.

determined by straight-line interpolation between the number of additional shares set forth
for the higher and lower stock price amounts and the two dates, as applicable, based on a
365-day year;
	 
	 	•	 	if the stock price is in excess of $25.00 per share (subject to adjustment), no
