the Close of Business on such special record date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to
the following subsection (ii) of this Section 2.03(c).

not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation

payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

     Section 2.04.  Deferral of Interest Payments. (a) As long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, subject to the conditions below, the Company shall have the right, at
its option, to defer interest payments on the Notes at any time and from time to time (“Optional
Deferral”) for a period (an “Optional Deferral Period”) that does not exceed 10 consecutive

the date on which the Company began the deferral of interest or, if sooner, past the Maturity Date,

interest on the Notes shall not be currently payable (“Optionally Deferred Interest”), but shall

(“Compounded Interest”). Each Optional Deferral Period shall terminate on an Interest Payment
Date, on which date the Company shall pay all Optionally Deferred Interest, together with
Compounded Interest, if any, to the Person in whose name the Note (or its Predecessor Note) is
registered on the Note Register at the Close of Business on the Regular Record Date immediately
preceding such Interest Payment Date. Upon the termination of an Optional Deferral Period and the
payment of all amounts then due, the Company may commence a new Optional Deferral Period, subject
to the other conditions in this Section 2.04, there being no limit to the number of such new
Optional Deferral Periods that the Company may elect.

     (b) The Company shall give written notice to the Trustee and the Holders that it has elected
an Optional Deferral and the length of the related Optional Deferral Period at least five Business
Days prior to the earlier of (i) the date the Trustee is required to give notice to any securities
exchange or to Holders of the Notes of the Regular Record Date or the date the interest is payable;

Deferral Period will begin. Such written notice shall be irrevocable.

the name and on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature of its Chairman or
Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer, President, any of its Executive
or Senior Vice Presidents, or any of its Vice Presidents (whether or not designated by a number or
numbers or word or words added before or after the title “Vice President”).

     At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Company may deliver Notes executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with
a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, and the Trustee in accordance
with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Notes, without any further action by

     Only such Notes as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the
form set forth on the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto, executed manually or by

facsimile
by an authorized officer of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee as
provided by Section 16.10), shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee (or such an authenticating agent) upon
any Note executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Note so authenticated has
been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of
this Indenture.

     In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Notes shall cease to be
such officer before the Notes so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee,
or disposed of by the Company, such Notes nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or
disposed of as though the person who signed such Notes had not ceased to be such officer of the
Company; and any Note may be signed on behalf of the Company by such persons as, at the actual date
of the execution of such Note, shall be the proper officers of the Company, although at the date of
the execution of this Indenture any such person was not such an officer.

     Section 2.06.  Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Notes; Restrictions on Transfer;
Depositary. (a) The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the
register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company designated
pursuant to Section 3.02, the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as
it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and transfers of Notes.
Such register shall be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form
within a reasonable period of time. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Note Registrar” for the
purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. The Company may appoint
one or more co-Note Registrars in accordance with Section 3.02.

     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note to the Note Registrar or any co-Note
Registrar, and satisfaction of the requirements for such transfer set forth in this Section 2.06,
the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of
a like aggregate principal amount and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this
Indenture.

     Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate
principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at any such office or agency
maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 3.02. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for
exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes the
Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive, bearing registration numbers not
contemporaneously outstanding.

     All Notes presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, purchase or
conversion shall (if so required by the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar or any co-Note
Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Company and duly executed, by the Holder thereof or its

     No service charge shall be charged to the Holder for any exchange or registration of transfer
of Notes, but the Company or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
transfer tax or similar governmental charge required by law or that may be imposed in connection
therewith as a result of the name of the transferee of such Notes being different from the name of
the transferor of such Notes.

     None of the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar shall be
required to exchange or register a transfer of (a) any Notes surrendered for conversion or, if a
portion of any Note is surrendered for conversion, such portion thereof surrendered for conversion
or (b) any Notes, or a portion of any Note, surrendered for purchase (and not withdrawn) in
accordance with Article 14.

     All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with
this Indenture shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such registration
of transfer or exchange.

     The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance
with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect
to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Depositary
participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) 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.

     Neither the Trustee nor any agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not
taken by the Depositary.

     (b) So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, unless
otherwise required by law, subject to Section 2.06(d), all Notes shall be represented by one or
more Notes in global form without interest coupons (each, a “Global Note”) registered in the name
of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary. The transfer and exchange of beneficial
interests in a Global Note, which does not involve the issuance of a Physical Note,
shall be effected through the Depositary (but not the Trustee or the Custodian) in accordance
with this Indenture (including the restrictions on transfer set forth herein) and the procedures of
the Depositary therefor.

     (c) Any Global Note may be endorsed with or have incorporated in the text thereof such legends
or recitals or changes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture as may be required by
the Custodian, the Depositary or by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. to comply
with any applicable law or any regulation thereunder or with the rules and regulations of any
securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Notes may be listed or admitted
for trading or designated for issuance or to conform with any usage with

20

 

respect thereto, or to
indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Notes are subject.

     Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, a Global Note may not be transferred
as a whole or in part except by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of
the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any
such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

     (d) The Depositary shall be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act. The Company
initially appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as Depositary with respect to each Global
Note. Initially, each Global Note shall be issued to the Depositary, registered in the name of
Cede & Co., as the nominee of the Depositary, and deposited with the Trustee as Custodian for the
Depositary.

     If at any time (i) the Depositary for a Global Note (x) notifies the Company that the
Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Notes or (y) ceases to
be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor
Depositary is not appointed within 90 days after such notification or such ceasing to be so
registered, as the case may be, or (ii) an Event of Default with respect to the Notes has occurred
and is continuing and the Note Registrar has received a request from the owner of a beneficial
interest in any Global Note for the issuance of Physical Notes in exchange for all or a portion of
such interest, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate
and a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of Notes, shall authenticate and deliver,
in the case of clause (i), Physical Notes to each beneficial owner of the related Global Notes (or
a portion thereof) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such
Global Notes in exchange for such Global Notes, and upon delivery of the Global Notes to the
Trustee such Global Notes shall be cancelled, and, in the case of clause (ii), a Physical Note to
such beneficial owner in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of
such Note corresponding to such beneficial owner’s beneficial interest, in which case the
corresponding Global Note shall be reduced by the aggregate principal amount of such interest so
exchanged.

     Physical Notes issued in exchange for all or a part of the Global Note pursuant to this
Section 2.06(d) shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the
Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall
instruct the Trustee. Upon execution and authentication, the Trustee shall deliver such
Physical Notes to the Persons in whose names such Physical Notes are so registered.

     At such time as all interests in a Global Note have been converted, canceled, purchased or
transferred, such Global Note shall be, upon receipt thereof, canceled by the Trustee in accordance
with standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian. At
any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Physical
Notes, converted, canceled, purchased or transferred to a transferee who receives Physical Notes
therefor or any Physical Note is exchanged or transferred for part of such Global

21

 

Note, the
principal amount of such Global Note shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and
instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, be appropriately reduced or
increased, as the case may be, and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note, by the Trustee
or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction or increase.

     (e) Every Note that bears or is required under this Section 2.06(e) to bear the legend set
forth in this Section 2.06(e) (together with any Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes
and required to bear the legend set forth in Section 2.06(f), the “Restricted Securities”) shall be
subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 2.06(e) (including those set
forth in the legend below) unless such restrictions on transfer shall be waived by written consent
of the Company, and the Holder of each such Restricted Security, by such Holder’s acceptance
thereof, agrees to be bound by all such restrictions on transfer. As used in this Section 2.06(e),
the term “transfer” means any sale, pledge, loan, transfer or other disposition whatsoever of any
Restricted Security or any interest therein.

     Until the date (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) that is the later of (1) one year
after the last date of original issuance of the Notes, or such other period of time as permitted by
Rule 144 or any successor provision thereto, and (2) such later date, if any, as may be required by
applicable law, any certificate evidencing such Note (and all securities issued in exchange
therefor or substitution thereof, other than Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof which
shall bear the legend set forth in Section 2.06(f), if applicable) shall bear a legend in
substantially the following form (unless such Notes have been sold pursuant to a registration
statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to
be effective at the time of such transfer, or sold pursuant to the exemption from registration
provided by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, or unless
otherwise agreed by the Company in writing, with written notice thereof to the Trustee):

     THIS NOTE AND THE COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS NOTE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
NEITHER THIS NOTE NOR ANY INTEREST OR PARTICIPATION HEREIN OR THEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD,
ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH
REGISTRATION OR UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM, AND NOT SUBJECT TO, REGISTRATION.

     BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF OR OF A BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN, THE ACQUIRER:

     (1) REPRESENTS THAT IT AND ANY ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT IS ACTING IS A “QUALIFIED
INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) AND THAT IT
EXERCISES SOLE INVESTMENT DISCRETION WITH RESPECT TO EACH SUCH ACCOUNT, AND

22

 

     (2) AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF SUNRISE SENIOR LIVING, INC. (THE “COMPANY”) THAT IT WILL
NOT OFFER, SELL, ASSIGN, TRANSFER, PLEDGE, ENCUMBER OR OTHERWISE DISPOSE OF THIS SECURITY OR
ANY BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN PRIOR TO THE DATE THAT IS THE LATER OF (X) ONE YEAR AFTER THE
LAST DATE OF ORIGINAL ISSUANCE HEREOF OR SUCH OTHER PERIOD OF TIME AS PERMITTED BY RULE 144
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION THEREUNDER, AND (Y) SUCH LATER DATE, IF
ANY, AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXCEPT:

     (A) TO THE COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES, OR

     (B) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT THAT HAS BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT, OR

     (C) TO A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT, OR

     (D) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OR ANY OTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS
OF THE SECURITIES ACT.

     PRIOR TO THE REGISTRATION OF ANY TRANSFER IN ACCORDANCE WITH CLAUSE (2)(D) ABOVE, THE COMPANY
AND THE TRUSTEE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF SUCH LEGAL OPINIONS, CERTIFICATIONS OR
OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY REASONABLY BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSFER IS
BEING MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO
REPRESENTATION IS MADE AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF ANY EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS
OF THE SECURITIES ACT.

     No transfer of any Note prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date will be registered by
the Note Registrar unless the applicable box on the Form of Assignment and Transfer has been
checked.

     Any Note (or security issued in exchange or substitution therefor) as to which such
restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or as to conditions for
removal of the foregoing legend set forth therein have been satisfied may, upon surrender of such
Note for exchange to the Note Registrar in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.06, be
exchanged for a new Note or Notes, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, which shall not
bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 2.06(e) and shall be assigned an
unrestricted CUSIP number. If a Restricted Security surrendered for exchange pursuant to the
immediately preceding sentence is represented by a Global Note bearing the legend set forth in this
Section 2.06(e), the principal amount of the legended Global Note shall be reduced by the

23

 

appropriate principal amount and the principal amount of a Global Note without the legend set forth
in this Section 2.06(e) shall be increased by an equal principal amount. If a Global Note without
the legend set forth in this Section 2.06(e) is not then outstanding, the Company shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver an unlegended Global Note to the Depositary. The
Company shall promptly notify the Trustee upon the occurrence of the Resale Restriction Termination
Date and promptly after a registration statement, if any, with respect to the Notes or the Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes has been declared effective under the Securities Act.

     (f) Until the Resale Restriction Termination Date, any stock certificate representing Common
Stock issued upon conversion of a Note shall bear a legend in substantially the following form
(unless the Note or such Common Stock has been transferred pursuant to a registration statement
that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to be
effective at the time of such transfer, or pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by
Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, or such Common Stock has
been issued upon conversion of Notes that have been transferred pursuant to a registration
statement that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and that continues to
be effective at the time of such transfer, or pursuant to the exemption from registration provided
by Rule 144 or any similar provision then in force under the Securities Act, or unless otherwise
agreed by the Company with written notice thereof to the Trustee and the transfer agent for the
Common Stock):

     THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
“SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR ANY INTEREST OR
PARTICIPATION HEREIN OR THEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED
OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR UNLESS SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT
FROM, AND NOT SUBJECT TO, REGISTRATION.

     BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF OR OF A BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN, THE ACQUIRER:

     (1) REPRESENTS THAT IT AND ANY ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT IS ACTING IS A “QUALIFIED
INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) AND THAT IT
EXERCISES SOLE INVESTMENT DISCRETION WITH RESPECT TO EACH SUCH ACCOUNT, AND

     (2) AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF SUNRISE SENIOR LIVING, INC. (THE “COMPANY”) THAT IT WILL
NOT OFFER, SELL, ASSIGN, TRANSFER, PLEDGE, ENCUMBER OR OTHERWISE DISPOSE OF THIS SECURITY OR
ANY BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN PRIOR TO THE DATE THAT IS THE LATER OF (X) ONE YEAR AFTER THE
LAST DATE OF ORIGINAL ISSUANCE HEREOF OR SUCH OTHER PERIOD OF TIME AS PERMITTED BY RULE 144
UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION THEREUNDER, AND (Y)

24

 

SUCH LATER DATE, IF ANY,
AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXCEPT:

     (A) TO THE COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES, OR

     (B) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT THAT HAS BEEN DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT, OR

     (C) TO A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144A UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT, OR

     (D) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION PROVIDED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OR ANY OTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS
OF THE SECURITIES ACT.

     PRIOR TO THE REGISTRATION OF ANY TRANSFER IN ACCORDANCE WITH CLAUSE (2)(D) ABOVE, THE COMPANY
AND THE TRANSFER AGENT RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF SUCH LEGAL OPINIONS,
CERTIFICATIONS OR OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY REASONABLY BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THAT THE
PROPOSED TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES LAWS. NO REPRESENTATION IS MADE AS TO THE AVAILABILITY OF ANY EXEMPTION FROM THE
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.

     Any such Common Stock as to which such restrictions on transfer shall have expired in
accordance with their terms may, upon surrender of the certificates representing such shares of
Common Stock for exchange in accordance with the procedures of the transfer agent for the Common
Stock, be exchanged for a new certificate or certificates for a like aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock, which shall not bear the restrictive legend required by this Section 2.06(f).

     (g) The Company shall not, the Company shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, and the Company
shall use its best efforts to cause any of its Affiliates that are not its Subsidiaries not to,
resell any Notes that constitute “restricted securities” under Rule 144 that have been reacquired
by any of them.

     Section 2.07.  Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. In case any Note shall become
mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion may execute, and upon
delivery by the Company of a Company Order the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Note of like tenor (including the same date of
issuance) and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and
substitution for the mutilated Note, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Note so destroyed,
lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Note shall furnish to the Company,
to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or

25

 

indemnity as may
be required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss, liability,
cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of
destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if
applicable, to such authenticating agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.

     The Trustee or such authenticating agent may authenticate any such substituted Note and
deliver the same upon the receipt of such security or indemnity as the Trustee, the Company and, if
applicable, such authenticating agent may require. Upon the issuance of any substituted Note, the
Company or the Trustee may require the payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax,
assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses connected therewith.

     In case any Note which has matured or has been surrendered for purchase upon a Fundamental
Change or for conversion shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may,
in its sole discretion, instead of issuing a substitute Note in exchange and substitution for the
mutilated Note, or in lieu of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note, pay or deliver or authorize the
payment or delivery of the consideration otherwise due upon such purchase or conversion (without
surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Note), as the case may be, if the applicant for
such payment or delivery shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to any
Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save
each of them harmless for any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such
payment or delivery in lieu of substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft,
evidence satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and, if applicable, any Paying Agent or
Conversion Agent of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.

     Every substitute Note issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.07 by virtue of the
fact that any Note is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual
obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be found at any
time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations set
forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued
hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, all Notes shall be held and owned upon the express
condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment or
conversion or purchase of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and shall preclude any and all
other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the
contrary with respect to the replacement or payment or conversion of negotiable instruments or
other securities without their surrender.

     Section 2.08.  Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of Physical Notes, the Company may
execute and the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall, upon delivery by
the Company of a Company Order, authenticate and deliver temporary Notes (printed or lithographed).
Temporary Notes shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of
Physical Notes but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for
temporary Notes, all as may be determined by the Company. Every

26

 

such temporary Note shall be
executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee or such authenticating agent upon the same
conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as Physical Notes.
Without unreasonable delay the Company shall execute and
deliver to the Trustee or such authenticating agent Physical Notes (other than any Global
Note) and thereupon any or all temporary Notes (other than any Global Note) may be surrendered in
exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 3.02 and
the Trustee or such authenticating agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such
temporary Notes an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Notes. Such exchange shall be made
by the Company at its own expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the
temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same
limitations under this Indenture as Physical Notes that are authenticated and delivered hereunder.

     Section 2.09.  Cancellation of Notes Paid, Converted, Etc. The Company shall cause all Notes
surrendered for the purpose of payment, purchase, registration of transfer or exchange or
conversion, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee (including any of the Company’s
Agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates), to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. All Notes
delivered to the Trustee shall be canceled promptly by it, and no Notes shall be authenticated in
exchange thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The
Trustee shall dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures and, after such
disposition, shall deliver a certificate of such disposition to the Company, at the Company’s
written request in a Company Order. If the Company shall acquire any of the Notes, such
acquisition shall not operate as a redemption, purchase or satisfaction of the indebtedness
represented by such Notes unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

     Section 2.10. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if
then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers in notices to Holders as a
convenience to Holders of the Notes; provided that any such notice may state that no representation
is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or in such notice and
that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The
Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

     Section 2.11.  Additional Notes, Purchases. The Company may, without the consent of the
Holders and notwithstanding Section 2.01, reopen this Indenture and issue additional Notes
hereunder with the same terms as the Notes initially issued hereunder in an unlimited aggregate
principal amount; provided that if any such additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes
initially issued hereunder for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional Notes will have a
separate CUSIP number. Prior to the issuance of any such additional Notes, the Company shall
deliver to the Trustee a Company Order, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, and
such Opinion of Counsel shall make the following statements, in addition to those required by
Section 16.05: (1) that the form of such additional Notes are in accordance with the provisions of
this Indenture; (2) that the terms of such additional Notes are in accordance with the provisions
of this Indenture; and (3) that such additional Notes, when authenticated and delivered by the
Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such
Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company,

27

 

enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and
other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights
and to general equity principles. In addition, the Company may, to the extent permitted by law,
and directly or indirectly (regardless of whether such Notes are surrendered to the Company),
purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise, whether by the Company or its Subsidiaries or
through a private or public tender or exchange offer or through counterparties to private
agreements, including by cash-settled swaps or other derivatives. The Company shall cause any
Notes so purchased (other than Notes purchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other derivatives)
to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with Section 2.09.

ARTICLE 3

Particular Covenants of the Company

     Section 3.01.  Payment of Principal and Interest; Restrictions During Optional Deferral
Periods. (a) The Company covenants and agrees that it will cause to be paid the principal of and

conversion of the Notes, at the places, at the respective times and in the manner provided herein
and in the Notes.

     (b) On any date on which accrued interest through the most recent Interest Payment Date has
not been paid in full (including during any Optional Deferral Period) and until such time as all
accrued and unpaid interest through the most recent Interest Payment Date, together with any
Compounded Interest thereon, is paid in full, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of
the Company’s Subsidiaries to:

     (i) declare or pay any dividends on, make distributions regarding, or redeem, purchase,
acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any shares of the Company’s Capital
Stock, other than:

     (A) purchases of the Company’s Capital Stock in connection with employee or
agent benefit plans or under any dividend reinvestment plan;

     (B) in connection with the reclassification of any class or series of the
Company’s Capital Stock, or the exchange or conversion of one class or series of

Capital Stock, in each case where the resulting Capital Stock ranks equal to or
junior to the Capital Stock so reclassified, exchanged or converted;

     (C) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Company’s Capital
Stock in connection with the conversion or exchange provisions of that Capital
Stock or the security being converted or exchanged;

     (D) dividends or distributions in the form of the Company’s Capital Stock or

     (E) any declaration of a dividend in connection with the implementation of a
shareholders’ rights plan, or issuances of Capital Stock under any such plan in the
future, or redemptions or repurchases of any rights outstanding under a
shareholders’ rights plan;

     (ii) make any payment of interest, principal or premium, if any, on or pay, repurchase
or redeem any debt securities issued by the Company that rank equal to or junior to the
Notes, other than (A) any payment, repurchase or redemption in respect of debt securities

the respective amount of (1) accrued and unpaid amounts on such Parity Debt Securities, on
the one hand, and (2) accrued and unpaid amounts on the Notes, on the other hand, or (B) the

Guarantees”) made ratably and in proportion to the respective amounts of (1) accrued and
unpaid amounts on such Parity Guarantees, on the one hand, and (2) accrued and unpaid
amounts on the Notes, on the other hand.

     Section 3.02.  Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where the Notes may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment or purchase (“Paying Agent”)
or for conversion (“Conversion Agent”) and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in
respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Company may change the Paying Agent
without prior notice to the Holders but with notice to the initial Paying Agent and the Company may
act as Paying Agent; provided that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve
the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City
of New York, for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the
location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency not designated or appointed by
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 Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency of
the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.

     The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where
the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time
rescind such designations. The Company will give prompt written notice to the

29

 

Trustee of any such
designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.
The terms “Paying Agent” and “Conversion Agent” include any such additional or other offices or
agencies, as applicable.

     The Company hereby initially designates the Trustee as the Paying Agent, Note Registrar,
Custodian and Conversion Agent and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., 101 Barclay
St., Floor 8W, New York, New York 10286, Attention: Corporate Trust Department, and the office or
agency of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York shall be considered as the
initial office or agency of the Company for each of the aforesaid purposes.

     So long as the Trustee is the Note Registrar, the Trustee (and any successor trustee, upon
becoming Trustee) agrees to mail, or cause to be mailed, the notices set forth in Section 6.09, and
any successor trustee, upon becoming Trustee, agrees to mail or cause to be mailed, the notices set
forth in the third paragraph of Section 6.10.

     Section 3.03.  Appointments to Fill Vacancies in Trustee’s Office. The Company, whenever
necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided
in Section 6.09, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder.

     Section 3.04.  Provisions as to Paying Agent. (a) If the Company shall appoint a Paying
Agent other than the Trustee or if the Trustee shall appoint such a Paying Agent, the Company will
cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent
shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.04,

     (i) that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the
principal (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) of, and accrued
and unpaid interest on, the Notes (whether such sums have been paid to it by the Company or
by any other obligor on the Notes) in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes;

     (ii) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or by any
other obligor on the Notes) to make any payment of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid
interest on, the Notes when the same shall be due and payable; and

     (iii) that at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon request of
the Trustee, it will forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust.

     The Company shall, on or before each due date of the principal (including the Fundamental
Change Purchase Price, if applicable) of, or accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes, deposit
with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal (including the Fundamental Change
Purchase Price, if applicable) or accrued and unpaid interest and (unless such Paying Agent is the
Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any failure to take such
action; provided that if such deposit is made on the due date, such deposit must be received by the
Paying Agent by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date.

30

 

     (b) If the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of
the principal (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and
unpaid interest on, the Notes, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the
Holders of the Notes a sum sufficient to pay such principal (including the Fundamental Change
Purchase Price, if applicable) and accrued and unpaid interest so becoming due and will notify the
Trustee in writing of any failure to take such action and of any failure by the Company (or any
other obligor under the Notes) to make any such payment on the Notes, when the same shall become
due and payable.

     (c) Anything in this Section 3.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may, at any
time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, or for any other
reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or any
Paying Agent hereunder as required by this Section 3.04, such sums to be held by the Trustee
upon the trusts herein contained and upon such payment by the Company or any Paying Agent to the
Trustee, the Company or such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect
to such sums.

     (d) Anything in this Section 3.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreement to hold sums
in trust as provided in this Section 3.04 is subject to Section 11.03 and Section 11.04.

     Section 3.05.  Existence. Subject to Article 10, the Company will do or cause to be done all
things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence.

     Section 3.06.  Rule 144A Information Requirement. At any time the Company is not subject to
Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall, so long as any of the Notes shall, at
such time, constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the
Securities Act, promptly provide to the Trustee and shall, upon written request, provide to any
Holder, beneficial owner or prospective purchaser of such Notes the information required to be
delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act to facilitate the resale of such
Notes pursuant to Rule 144A. The Company shall take such further action as any Holder or
beneficial owner of such Notes may reasonably request to the extent from time to time required to
enable such Holder or beneficial owner to sell such Notes in accordance with Rule 144A.

     Section 3.07.  Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it
may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever
claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law that would
prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of, or interest on,
the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or that
may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent it
may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants
that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power
herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as
though no such law had been enacted.

31

 

     Section 3.08. Compliance Certificate; Statements as to Defaults. 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 on December 31, 2011) an Officers’ Certificate stating whether or not
each signer thereof has knowledge of any Event of Default or Default by the Company under this
Indenture during such fiscal year and, if so, specifying each such failure and the nature thereof.

     In addition, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible and in any event
within 30 days after the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of any Event of Default or
Default, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the details of such Event of Default or Default,
its status and the action that the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

     Section 3.09.
Further Instruments and Acts. The Company will 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.

ARTICLE 4

Lists of Holders and Reports by the Company and the Trustee

     Section 4.01. Lists of Holders. The Company covenants and agrees that it will furnish or
cause to be furnished to the Trustee, semi-annually, not more than 15 days after each Regular
Record Date in each year beginning with September 15, 2011, and at such other times as the Trustee
may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Company of any such request (or such
lesser time as the Trustee may reasonably request in order to enable it to timely provide any
notice to be provided by it hereunder), a list in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require
of the names and addresses of the Holders as of a date not more than 15 days (or such other date as
the Trustee may reasonably request in order to so provide any such notices) prior to the time such
information is furnished, except that no such list need be furnished so long as the Trustee is
acting as Note Registrar.

     Section 4.02. Preservation and Disclosure of Lists. The Trustee shall preserve, in as
current a form as is reasonably practicable, all information as to the names and addresses of the
Holders contained in the most recent list furnished to it as provided in Section 4.01 or maintained
by the Trustee in its capacity as Note Registrar, if so acting. The Trustee may destroy any list
furnished to it as provided in Section 4.01 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

     Section 4.03. Reports by Company. (a) The Company shall file with the Trustee, within 15
days after the same are required to be filed with the Commission, copies of any documents or
reports that the Company is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of
the Exchange Act (giving effect to any grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange
Act). Any such document or report that the Company files with the Commission via the Commission’s
Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval (“EDGAR”) system (or

32

 

any successor thereto) shall be deemed to be filed with the Trustee for purposes of this
Section 4.03 as of the time such documents are filed via the EDGAR system.

     (b) Delivery of such documents or reports 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 conclusively
rely exclusively on an Officers’ Certificate).

ARTICLE 5

Defaults and Remedies

     Section 5.01. Events of Default. The following events shall be events of default (each, an
“Event of Default”) with respect to the Notes:

     (a) default in any payment of interest (including Optionally Deferred Interest and any
Compounded Interest thereon) on any Note when due and payable and the default continues for a
period of 30 days, whether or not such payment is prevented by the provisions of Article 15 (except
that a default under this clause (a) shall not occur if the Company shall have deferred interest,
as permitted under and in accordance with Section 2.04, in connection with an Optional Deferral);

     (b) default in the payment of principal of any Note when due and payable on the Maturity Date,
upon required purchase or upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise, whether or not such
payment is prevented by the provisions of Article 15;

     (c) failure by the Company to comply with its obligation to convert the Notes in accordance
with Article 13 upon exercise of a Holder’s conversion right;

     (d) failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under Article 10;

     (e) failure by the Company to issue notice of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change pursuant to
Section 13.02(b) or a Fundamental Change Company Notice pursuant to Section 14.01(g), in each case
when due;

     (f) failure by the Company for 60 days after written notice from the Trustee or the Holders of
at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding has been received to comply with any
of the Company’s other agreements contained in the Notes or this Indenture;

     (g) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall commence a voluntary case or other proceeding
seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to the Company or any such
Subsidiary or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in
effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar
official of the Company or any such Subsidiary or any substantial part of the property of

33

 

the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or shall consent to any such relief or to the
appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other proceeding
commenced against it, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall
fail generally to pay its debts as they become due; or

     (h) an involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced against the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to the Company or
such Subsidiary or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter
in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar
official of the Company or such Subsidiary or any substantial part of the property of the Company
and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and such involuntary case or other proceeding shall remain
undismissed and unstayed for a period of 30 consecutive days.

     Section 5.02. Acceleration; Rescission and Annulment. In case one or more Events of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it
shall be voluntary or involuntary or be 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), then, and in each and every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in Section
5.01(g) or Section 5.01(h)), unless the principal of all of the Notes shall have already become due
and payable, the Trustee may, by notice in writing to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25%
in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding determined in accordance with Section
7.04 may, by notice in writing to the Company and to the Trustee, and the Trustee, upon the request
of such Holders, by notice in writing to the Company shall, declare 100% of the principal of, and
accrued and unpaid interest on, all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such
declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything in this
Indenture or in the Notes contained to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default
specified in Section 5.01(g) or Section 5.01(h) occurs and is continuing, the principal of all the
Notes and accrued and unpaid interest shall be immediately due and payable, notwithstanding
anything in the Notes or this Indenture to the contrary. This provision, however, is subject to
the conditions that if, at any time after the principal of the Notes shall have been so declared
due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have
been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the
Trustee a sum sufficient to pay installments of accrued and unpaid interest upon all Notes and the
principal of any and all Notes that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with
interest on overdue installments of accrued and unpaid interest, and on such principal, at the rate
borne by the Notes at such time) and amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.06, and if
(1) rescission and annulment of the declaration of acceleration would not conflict with any
judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) any and all Events of Defaults
under this Indenture, other than the nonpayment of principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on
Notes that shall have become due solely by such acceleration, shall have been cured or waived
pursuant to Section 5.09, then and in every such case (except as provided in the immediately
preceding sentence) the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all Defaults or Events
of Default with respect to the Notes and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences
and such Default shall cease

34

 

to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for
every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or
shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default, or shall impair any right consequent
thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no such waiver or rescission and
annulment shall extend to or shall affect any Default or Event of Default resulting from (i) the
nonpayment of the principal of (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable), or
accrued and unpaid interest on, any Notes or (ii) a failure to pay or deliver, as the case may be,
the consideration due upon conversion of the Notes.

     In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such
proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such waiver or rescission and
annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and
in every such case the Company, the Holders, and the Trustee shall, subject to any determination in
such proceeding, be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all
rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Holders, and the Trustee shall continue as though
no such proceeding had been instituted.

     Section 5.03. Additional Interest. (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or in the
Notes to the contrary, to the extent the Company elects, the sole remedy for an Event of Default
relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.03(a)
shall, for the first 60 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default, consist exclusively
of the right to receive Additional Interest on the Notes at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum of the
principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day during the 60-day period beginning on, and
including, the occurrence of such an Event of Default during which such Event of Default is
continuing. Additional Interest payable pursuant to this Section 5.03(a) shall be in addition to,
not in lieu of, any Additional Interest payable pursuant to Section 5.03(b) or Section 5.03(c) and
shall be subject to the Company’s right to defer interest payments on the Notes in accordance with
Section 2.04. If the Company so elects to pay Additional Interest pursuant to this Section
5.03(a), such Additional Interest shall be payable in the same manner and on the same dates as
regular interest on the Notes. On the 61st day after such Event of Default (if the Event of
Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section
4.03(a) is not cured or waived prior to such 61st day), the Notes shall be subject to acceleration
as provided in Section 5.02. Nothing contained in this Section 5.03(a) shall affect the rights of
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 following an Event of Default in accordance with this
Section 5.03(a), the Notes shall be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 5.02.

     In order to elect to pay Additional Interest as the sole remedy during the first 60 days after
the occurrence of any Event of Default relating to any failure on the Company’s part to comply with
its obligations as set forth in Section 4.03(a), the Company must notify all Holders, the Trustee
and the Paying Agent of such election prior to the beginning of such 60-day period. Upon the
failure to timely give such notice, the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as
provided in Section 5.02.

35

 

     (b) If, at any time during the six-month period beginning on, and including, the date that is
six months after the last date of original issuance of the Notes, the Company fails to timely file
any document or report that it is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable (after giving effect to all applicable grace periods
thereunder and other than reports on Form 8-K), or the Notes are not otherwise freely tradable by
Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates (as a result of restrictions pursuant to U.S.
securities law or the terms of the Notes or this Indenture), Additional Interest shall accrue on
the Notes at the rate of 0.50% per annum of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes during the
period for which such failure to file continues or the Notes fail to be so freely tradable, as the
case may be. As used in this Section 5.03(b), documents or reports that the Company is required to
“file” with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act does not include
documents or reports that the Company furnishes to the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Exchange Act.

     (c) If, and for so long as, the restrictive legend on the Notes specified in Section 2.06(e)
has not been removed, the Notes are assigned a restricted CUSIP number, or the Notes are not freely
tradable pursuant to Rule 144 without volume restrictions by Holders other than the Company’s
Affiliates and without restrictions pursuant to the terms of the Notes or this Indenture, as of the
366th day after the last date of original issuance of the Notes, Additional Interest shall accrue
on the Notes at the rate of 0.50% per annum of the aggregate principal amount of Notes until the
restrictive legend specified in Section 2.06(e) is removed, the Notes are assigned an unrestricted
CUSIP number and the Notes are freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 without volume restrictions by
Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates and without restrictions pursuant to the terms of the
Notes or this Indenture.

     (d) Any Additional Interest payable pursuant to Section 5.03(b) or Section 5.03(c) shall be
(i) payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date following accrual in the same manner as
regular interest on the Notes, (ii) in addition to any Additional Interest that may accrue at the
Company’s election as the sole remedy relating to the failure to comply with its reporting
obligations pursuant to Section 5.03(a) and (iii) subject to the Company’s right to defer interest
payments on the Notes in accordance with Section 2.04.

     (e) If Additional Interest is payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 5.03, the
Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate 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 Officers’ Certificate setting forth the particulars of
such payment.

     Section 5.04. Payments of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor. In the event that the Trustee
has, either upon its own initiative or upon the request of the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, declared the principal of, and accrued and unpaid
interest on, the Notes to be due and payable immediately in accordance with Section 5.02,

36

 

and the Company shall have failed forthwith to pay such amounts, the Trustee, in its own name
and as trustee of an express trust, after being furnished suitable indemnity pursuant to Section
6.02, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any actions or proceedings at law or in equity
for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid (including such further amounts as shall be
sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including compensation to the Trustee,
its agents, attorneys and counsel, and any expenses or liabilities incurred by the Trustee
hereunder other than through its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, and may prosecute
any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or
final decree against the Company or any other obligor on the Notes and collect in the manner
provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor on the Notes wherever
situated the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.

     In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as provided in Section 5.01(g) or Section 5.01(h), the Trustee,
irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes 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 pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.04, shall be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole
amount of principal and accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Notes, and, in case of any
judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents and to take such
other actions as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee
(including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative
to the Company or any other obligor on the Notes, its or their creditors, or its or their property,
and to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims,
and to distribute the same after the deduction of any amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.06;
and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, custodian or
similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Holders to make such payments to the Trustee,
as administrative expenses, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for reasonable
compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements, including agents and counsel fees, and
including any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 6.06 hereof, incurred by it up to the
date of such distribution. To the extent that such payment of reasonable compensation, expenses,
advances and disbursements out of the estate in any such proceedings shall be denied for any
reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all
distributions, dividends, monies, securities and other property that the Holders of the Notes may
be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of
reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

     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 Holder 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.

37

 

     All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes,
may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes, or the production
thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding
instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any
recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable
benefit of the Holders of the Notes.

     In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and in any proceedings involving the interpretation
of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held
to represent all the Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of the
Notes parties to any such proceedings.

     Section 5.05. Application of Monies Collected by Trustee. Any monies collected by the
Trustee pursuant to this Article 5 with respect to the Notes shall be applied in the order
following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such monies, upon
presentation of the several Notes, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and
upon surrender thereof, if fully paid:

     First, to the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.06;

     Second, in case the principal of the outstanding Notes shall not have become due and be
unpaid, to the payment of interest on, and any cash due upon conversion of, the Notes in default in
the order of the date due of the payments of such interest and cash due upon conversion, as the
case may be, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee)
upon such overdue payments at the rate borne by the Notes at such time, such payments to be made
ratably to the Persons entitled thereto;

     Third, in case the principal of the outstanding Notes shall have become due, by declaration or
otherwise, and be unpaid to the payment of the whole amount (including, if applicable, the payment
of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price and any cash due upon conversion) then owing and unpaid
upon the Notes for principal and interest, if any, with interest on the overdue principal and, to
the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee, upon overdue installments of
interest at the rate borne by the Notes at such time, and in case such monies shall be insufficient
to pay in full the whole amounts so due and unpaid upon the Notes, then to the payment of such
principal (including, if applicable, the Fundamental Change Purchase Price and the cash due upon
conversion) and interest without preference or priority of principal over interest, or of interest
over principal or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any
Note over any other Note, ratably to the aggregate of such principal (including, if applicable, the
Fundamental Change Purchase Price and any cash due upon conversion) and accrued and unpaid
interest; and

     Fourth, to the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or as a court of competent
jurisdiction shall direct in writing.

38

 

     Section 5.06. Proceedings by Holders. Except to enforce the right to receive payment
(including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) of principal or interest when due
or to receive payment or delivery, as the case may be, of the consideration due upon conversion, no
Holder of any Note shall have any right by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this
Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with
respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or
other similar official, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

     (a) such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of
Default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided;

     (b) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding shall
have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own
name as Trustee hereunder;

     (c) such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee such security or indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense to be incurred therein or thereby;

     (d) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of security or
indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; and

     (e) no direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such written
request shall have been given to the Trustee by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Notes outstanding within such 60-day period pursuant to Section 5.09,

it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every
Note with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders shall have any
right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to
affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder, or to obtain or seek to obtain
priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture,
except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders
(except as otherwise provided herein). For the protection and enforcement of this Section 5.06,
each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at
law or in equity.

     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture and any provision of any Note, the right
of any Holder to receive payment or delivery, as the case may be, of (x) the principal (including
the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) of, (y) accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
on, and (z) the consideration due upon conversion of, such Note, on or after the respective due
dates expressed or provided for in such Note or in this Indenture, or to institute and maintain any
proceeding suitable for the enforcement of any such payment or delivery, as the case may be, on or
after such respective dates against the Company shall not be impaired or affected without the
consent of such Holder.

39

 

     Anything in this Indenture or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, the Holder of any
Note, without the consent of either the Trustee or the Holder of any other Note, in its own behalf
and for its own benefit, may enforce, and may institute and maintain any proceeding suitable to
enforce, its right to payment or delivery, as the case may be, of (x) the principal (including the
Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) of, (y) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on,
and (z) the consideration due upon conversion of, such Note, on or after the respective due dates
expressed or provided for in such Note or in this Indenture.

     Section 5.07. Proceedings by Trustee. In case of an Event of Default the Trustee may in its
discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such
appropriate judicial proceedings as it may believe are necessary to protect and enforce any of such
rights, either by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise,
whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in
aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or
equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

     Section 5.08. Remedies Cumulative and Continuing. Except as provided in the last paragraph
of Section 2.07, all powers and remedies given by this Article 5 to the Trustee or to the Holders
shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other power or
remedy given hereunder or otherwise available to the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, by
judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and
agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of
any of the Notes to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall
impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or any
acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 5.06, every power and remedy given
by this Article 5 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time,
and as often as shall be deemed expedient by the Trustee or by the Holders.

     Section 5.09. Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Majority of Holders. The
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined
in accordance with Section 7.04 shall have the right to direct the time, method, and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power
conferred on the Trustee with respect to Notes; provided, however, that (a) such direction shall
not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and (b) the Trustee may take any
other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. The
Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that it determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights
of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. The Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in
accordance with Section 7.04 may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past
Default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except (i) a Default in the payment of
accrued and unpaid interest on, or the principal (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price,
if applicable) of, the Notes when due which has not been cured pursuant to the provisions of
Section 5.01, (ii) a failure by the Company to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the
consideration due upon conversion of the Notes, or (iii) a Default in respect of a covenant

40

 

or provisions hereof which under Article 9 cannot be modified or amended without the consent
of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected thereby. Upon any such waiver the Company, the
Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights
hereunder, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default
or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any Default or Event of Default hereunder shall
have been waived as permitted by this Section 5.09, said Default or Event of Default shall for all
purposes of the Notes and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing; but
no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any
right consequent thereon.

     Section 5.10. Notice of Defaults. The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence and
continuance of a Default of which a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge, mail to all Holders
as the names and addresses of such Holders appear upon the Note Register, notice of all Defaults
known to such Responsible Officer, unless such Defaults shall have been cured or waived before the
giving of such notice; provided that, except in the case of a Default in the payment or delivery,
as the case may be, of the principal (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if
applicable) of, accrued and unpaid interest on, or amounts due upon conversion of, any of the
Notes, in any such event the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long
as a committee of trust officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of
such notice is in the interests of the Holders.

     Section 5.11. Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder
of any Note by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may, in its
discretion, require, 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, the filing by
any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit and that such court
may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the
claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided that the provisions of this Section 5.11
(to the extent permitted by law) shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit
instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal
amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 7.04, or to any
suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, and accrued
and unpaid interest on, any Note on or after the due date expressed in such Note or in this
Indenture or to any suit for the enforcement of the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase
Price on or after the Fundamental Change Purchase Date or for payment or delivery, as the case may
be, of amounts due upon conversion in accordance with the provisions of Article 13.

ARTICLE 6

Concerning the Trustee

     Section 6.01. Certain Duties and Responsibilities. (a) Except during the continuance of an
Event of Default:

41

 

     (i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be
read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

     (ii) in the absence of negligence, bad faith and willful misconduct 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 the same 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).

     (b) In case 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 his or her own affairs.

     (c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability
for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own bad faith or willful
misconduct, except that:

     (i) this Section 6.01(c) shall not be construed to limit the effect of Section 6.01(a);

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

     (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it in good faith and either (A) believed by it to be authorized or within the

outstanding Notes pursuant to Section 5.02, Section 5.04 and Section 5.06, or (B) in
accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Notes, determined as provided in Section 7.04, relating to the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising
any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture; and

     (iv) 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.

42

 

     (d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating
to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be
subject to the provisions of this Section 6.01.

     Section 6.02. Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.01:

     (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,

negligence, bad faith and willful misconduct on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officers’
Certificate;

     (d) the Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or
any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

     (e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in
it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture,
unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory
to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in
compliance with such request or direction;

     (f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters 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 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;

     (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties

43

 

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

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

     (j) 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 Notes and this Indenture;

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

     (l) the Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of
individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to
this Indenture.

     Section 6.03. No Responsibility for Recitals, Etc. The recitals contained herein and in the
Notes (except in the Trustee’s certificate of authentication) shall be taken as the statements of
the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The
Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the
Notes. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any Notes
or the proceeds of any Notes authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in conformity with the
provisions of this Indenture. Except for information provided by the Trustee concerning the
Trustee, the Trustee shall have no responsibility for any information in any offering memorandum,
prospectus or other disclosure material distributed with respect to the Notes.

     Section 6.04. Trustee, Paying Agents, Conversion Agents or Registrar May Own Notes. The
Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Conversion Agent or Note Registrar, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same rights it would have if it were
not Trustee, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent or Note Registrar.

     Section 6.05. Monies and Common Stock to be Held in Trust. Subject to the provisions of
Section 11.04, all monies and shares of Common Stock received by the Trustee shall, until used or
applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received. Money
and Common Stock held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any
money or shares of Common Stock received by it hereunder except as may be agreed from time to time
by the Company and the Trustee.

44

 

     Section 6.06. Compensation and Expenses of Trustee. The Company covenants and agrees to pay
to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, compensation for all
services rendered by it hereunder in any capacity (which shall not be limited by any provision of
law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) as mutually agreed to in
writing between the Trustee and the Company, and the Company promptly will pay or reimburse the
Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances reasonably
incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture
(including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel
and of all Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as
shall be determined to have been caused by its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
The Company also covenants and agrees to indemnify the Trustee in any capacity under this Indenture
and any other document or transaction entered into in connection herewith and its agents and any
authenticating agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense
incurred without negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, its
officers, directors, agents or employees, or such agent or authenticating agent, as the case may
be, and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust or in
any other capacity hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves 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. The
obligations of the Company under this Section 6.06 to compensate or indemnify the Trustee and to
pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall be secured by a lien
prior to that of the Notes upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such,
except, subject to the effect of Section 5.05, funds held in trust herewith for the benefit of the
Holders of particular Notes prior to the date of the accrual of such unpaid compensation or
identifiable claim. The Trustee’s right to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section
6.06 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or indebtedness of the Company. The
obligation of the Company under this Section 6.06 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture and the earlier resignation or removal or the Trustee. The Company need not pay for
any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. The indemnification provided in this Section 6.06 shall extend to the officers,
directors, agents and employees of the Trustee.

     When the Trustee and its agents and any authenticating agent incur expenses or render services
after an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(g) or Section 5.01(h) occurs, the expenses and
the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws.

     Section 6.07. Conflicting Interests of Trustee. If the Trustee has or shall acquire a
conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either
eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the
provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture.

     Section 6.08. Eligibility of Trustee. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which
shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a
combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such Person publishes reports of

45

 

condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of
such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

     Section 6.09. Resignation or Removal of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may at any time resign by
giving written notice of such resignation to the Company and by mailing notice thereof to the
Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Note Register. Upon receiving such notice
of resignation, the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than 30 days after such
resignation or removal, appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed
by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the
resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been
so appointed and have accepted appointment 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is
removed, the resigning Trustee may, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Holder who has been a bona fide
Holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 5.11,
on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment
of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper
and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

     (b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur:

     (i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 6.07 within a reasonable time after
written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of
a Note or Notes for at least six months, or

     (ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of
Section 6.08 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by
any such Holder, or

     (iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or
insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the
purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in either case, the Company may by a Board Resolution remove the Trustee and appoint a
successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors,
one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the
successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of this Section 5.11, any Holder who has been a
bona fide Holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months may, on behalf of itself and all others
similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and
the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such

46

 

notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor
trustee.

     (c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time
outstanding, as determined in accordance with Section 7.04, may at any time remove the Trustee and
nominate a successor trustee which shall be deemed appointed as successor trustee unless within 10
days after notice to the Company of such nomination the Company objects thereto, in which case the
Trustee so removed or any Holder, upon the terms and conditions and otherwise as in Section 6.09(a)
provided, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor
trustee.

     (d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant
to any of the provisions of this Section 6.09 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment
by the successor trustee as provided in Section 6.10.

     Section 6.10.
 Acceptance by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided
in Section 6.09 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor
Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or
removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and
obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee
herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor trustee, the
Trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of
Section 6.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the
rights and powers of the Trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor trustee,
the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting
in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any Trustee ceasing to act
shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property and funds held or collected by such Trustee as
such, except for funds held in trust for the benefit of Holders of particular Notes, to secure any
amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.06.

     No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 6.10 unless at the
time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section
6.07 and eligible under the provisions of Section 6.08.

     Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 6.10, each
of the Company and the successor trustee, at the written direction and at the expense of the
Company shall mail or cause to be mailed notice of the succession of such Trustee hereunder to the
Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Note Register. If the Company fails to mail
such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor
trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Company.

     Section 6.11. Succession by Merger, etc. Any corporation or other entity into which the
Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or
other entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be

47

 

a party, or any corporation or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the
corporate trust business of the Trustee (including the administration of this Indenture), shall be
the successor to the Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided that in the case of any corporation or other
entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee such
corporation or other entity shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 6.07 and eligible
under the provisions of Section 6.08.

     In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this
Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to
the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or
authenticating agent appointed by such predecessor Trustee, and deliver such Notes so
authenticated, and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any
successor to the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by such successor trustee may
authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor Trustee hereunder or in the name of
the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it
is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall
have; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any
predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply
only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

     Section 6.12. Authorization of Trustee to Take Other Action. The Trustee is hereby
authorized and directed to enter into and take any actions or deliver such consents required by or
requested under this Indenture and to take such other actions and enter into such other documents
as directed by the Holders of a majority of outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes
(except as expressly stated herein, including as set forth in Section 5.02, Section 5.04, Section
5.06 and Section 9.02). Subject to Section 9.02, if at any time any action by or the consent of
the Trustee is required under this Indenture or any other document entered into by the Trustee at
the direction of a majority of the Holders of outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes,
such action or consent shall be taken or given by the Trustee upon the consent to such action by
the Holders of a majority of outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes.

ARTICLE 7

Concerning the Holders

     Section 7.01. Action by Holders. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders
of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Notes may take any action (including
the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of
any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action, the Holders of such
specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of
instruments of similar tenor executed by Holders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in
writing, or (b) by the record of the Holders voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Holders duly
called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article 8, or (c) by a combination of such
instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of

48

 

Holders and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective
when such instrument or instruments or such record are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is
hereby expressly required, to the Company. Proof of execution of any such instrument or record 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.
Whenever the Company or the Trustee solicits the taking of any action by the Holders, the Company
or the Trustee may fix, but shall not be required to, in advance of such solicitation, a date as
the record date for determining Holders entitled to take such action. The record date if one is
selected shall be not more than 15 days prior to the date of commencement of solicitation of such
action. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by
a Holder of any Note shall bind every future Holder of the same Note, and the Holder of every Note
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 Note.

     Section 7.02. Proof of Execution by Holders. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.01,
Section 6.02 and Section 8.05, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or its agent or
proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may
be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The
holding of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register or by a certificate of the Note Registrar.
The record of any Holders’ meeting shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 8.06.

     Section 7.03. Who Are Deemed Absolute Owners. The Company, the Trustee, any authenticating
agent, any Paying Agent, any Conversion Agent and any Note Registrar may deem the Person in whose
name such Note shall be registered upon the Note Register to be, and may treat such person as, the
absolute owner of such Note (whether or not such Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any
notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by any Person other than the Company or any
Note Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, and
(subject to Section 2.03(b)) accrued and unpaid interest on, such Note, upon conversion of such
Note and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor
any Conversion Agent nor any Note Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All
such payments or deliveries so made to any Holder for the time being, or upon its order, shall be
valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums or shares of Common Stock so paid or delivered,
effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for monies payable or shares of Common Stock
deliverable upon any such Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the
Notes, following an Event of Default, any Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note may
directly enforce against the Company, without the consent, solicitation, proxy, authorization or
any other action of the Depositary or any other Person, such Holder’s right to exchange such
beneficial interest for a Physical Note in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

     Section 7.04. Company-Owned Notes Disregarded. In determining whether the Holders of the
requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, consent, waiver or
other action under this Indenture, Notes that are owned by the Company or any other obligor of the
Notes or by any Affiliate of the Company shall be disregarded and deemed not to

49

 

be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination; provided that, for the purposes of
determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent,
waiver or other action, only Notes that a Responsible Officer knows are so owned shall be so
disregarded. Notes so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding
for the purposes of this Section 7.04 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the
Trustee the pledgee’s right to vote such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company, any other
obligor on the Notes or an Affiliate of the Company. In the case of a dispute as to such right,
any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the
Trustee. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an
Officers’ Certificate listing and identifying all Notes, if any, known by the Company to be owned
or held by or for the account of any of the above described Persons; and, subject to Section 6.01,
the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officers’ Certificate as conclusive evidence of the
facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Notes not listed therein are outstanding for the
purpose of any such determination.

     Section 7.05. Revocation of Consents; Future Holders Bound. At any time prior to (but not
after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 7.01, of the taking of any action by
the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Notes specified in this
Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Note that is shown by the evidence to be
included in the Notes the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written
notice with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in
Section 7.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Note. Except as aforesaid, any such
action taken by the Holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon
all future Holders and owners of such Note and of any Notes issued in exchange or substitution
therefor, irrespective of whether any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Note or any Note
issued in exchange or substitution therefor.

ARTICLE 8

Holders’ Meetings

     Section 8.01. Purpose of Meetings. A meeting of Holders may be called at any time and from
time to time pursuant to the provisions of this Article 8 for any of the following purposes:

     (a) to give any notice to the Company or to the Trustee or to give any directions to the
Trustee permitted under this Indenture, or to consent to the waiving of any Default or Event of
Default hereunder and its consequences, or to take any other action authorized to be taken by
Holders pursuant to any of the provisions of Article 5;

     (b) to remove the Trustee and nominate a successor trustee pursuant to the provisions of
Article 6;

     (c) to consent to the execution of an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto pursuant to
the provisions of Section 9.02; or

50

 

     (d) to take any other action authorized to be taken by or on behalf of the holders of any
specified aggregate principal amount of the Notes under any other provision of this Indenture or
under applicable law.

     Section 8.02. Call of Meetings by Trustee. The Trustee may at any time call a meeting of
Holders to take any action specified in Section 8.01, to be held at such time and at such place as
the Trustee shall determine. Notice of every meeting of the Holders, setting forth the time and
the place of such meeting and in general terms the action proposed to be taken at such meeting and
the establishment of any record date pursuant to Section 7.01, shall be mailed to Holders of such
Notes at their addresses as they shall appear on the Note Register. Such notice shall also be
mailed to the Company. Such notices shall be mailed not less than 20 nor more than 90 days prior
to the date fixed for the meeting.

     Any meeting of Holders shall be valid without notice if the Holders of all Notes then
outstanding are present in person or by proxy or if notice is waived before or after the meeting by
the Holders of all Notes outstanding, and if the Company and the Trustee are either present by duly
authorized representatives or have, before or after the meeting, waived notice.

     Section 8.03. Call of Meetings by Company or Holders. In case at any time the Company,
pursuant to a Board Resolution, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding, shall have requested the Trustee to call a meeting of Holders, by written
request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the
Trustee shall not have mailed the notice of such meeting within 20 days after receipt of such
request, then the Company or such Holders may determine the time and the place for such meeting and
may call such meeting to take any action authorized in Section 8.01, by mailing notice thereof as
provided in Section 8.02.

     Section 8.04. Qualifications for Voting. To be entitled to vote at any meeting of Holders a
Person shall (a) be a Holder of one or more Notes on the record date pertaining to such meeting or
(b) be a Person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy by a Holder of one or more Notes on
the record date pertaining to such meeting. The only Persons who shall be entitled to be present
or to speak at any meeting of Holders shall be the Persons entitled to vote at such meeting and
their counsel and any representatives of the Trustee and its counsel and any representatives of the
Company and its counsel.

     Section 8.05. Regulations. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the
Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of Holders,
in regard to proof of the holding of Notes and of the appointment of proxies, and in regard to the
appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of proxies,
certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct
of the meeting as it shall think fit.

     The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting,
unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Holders as provided in Section 8.03,
in which case the Company or the Holders calling the meeting, as the case may be,

51

 

shall in like
manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent
secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Notes represented at the meeting and entitled to vote at the meeting.

     Subject to the provisions of Section 7.04, at any meeting of Holders each Holder or
proxyholder shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held or
represented by it; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in
respect of any Note challenged as not outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be
not outstanding. The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote other than by virtue of
Notes held by it or instruments in writing as aforesaid duly designating it as the proxy to vote on
behalf of other Holders. Any meeting of Holders duly called pursuant to the provisions of Section
8.02 or Section 8.03 may be adjourned from time to time by the Holders of a majority of the
aggregate principal amount of Notes represented at the meeting, whether or not constituting a
quorum, and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

     Section 8.06. Voting. The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders
shall be by written ballot on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders or of their
representatives by proxy and the outstanding principal amount of the Notes held or represented by
them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count
all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the
secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the
meeting. A record in duplicate of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders shall be prepared by
the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the
inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more Persons
having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that
said notice was mailed as provided in Section 8.02 or 8.03, as applicable. The record shall show
the principal amount of the Notes voting in favor of or against any resolution. The record shall
be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and
one of the duplicates shall be delivered to the Company and the other to the Trustee to be
preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting.

     Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

     Section 8.07. No Delay of Rights by Meeting. Nothing contained in this Article 8 shall be
deemed or construed to authorize or permit, by reason of any call of a meeting of Holders or any
rights expressly or impliedly conferred hereunder to make such call, any hindrance or delay in the
exercise of any right or rights conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders under
any of the provisions of this Indenture or of the Notes.

authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, may from time to time
and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for one or more of the
following purposes:

     (a) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency that does not adversely affect
Holders of the Notes;

     (b) to provide for the assumption by a Successor Corporation of the obligations of the Company
under this Indenture pursuant to Article 10;

     (c) to add guarantees with respect to the Notes;

     (d) to secure the Notes;

     (e) to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders or surrender any
rights or powers of the Company;

     (f) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder;

     (g) to provide for a successor trustee with respect to the Notes; or

     (h) conform the provisions of this Indenture to the “Description of Notes” in the preliminary
offering memorandum for the Notes dated April 14, 2011, as supplemented by the related pricing term
sheet.

     Upon the written request of the Company, accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the
execution of such supplemental indenture, the Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company
in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and
stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to, but may in
its discretion, enter into any supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties
or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

     Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 9.01 may be executed
by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the Holders of any of the Notes at the time
outstanding.

     Section 9.02.  Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Holders. With the consent (evidenced
as provided in Article 7) of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Notes at the time outstanding (determined in accordance with Article 7 and including, without

for, Notes), the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may from time to
time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental

53

 

hereto for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this
Indenture or any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of
the Notes; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of
each affected Holder of an outstanding Note:

     (a) reduce the amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment;

     (b) reduce the rate, or extend the stated time for payment, of interest on any Note;

     (c) reduce the principal, or extend the Maturity Date, of any Note;

     (d) make any change that adversely affects the conversion rights of any Notes;

     (e) reduce the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of any Note or amend or modify in any manner
adverse to the Holders of the Notes the Company’s obligation to make such payments, whether through
an amendment or waiver of provisions in the covenants, definitions or otherwise;

     (f) change the place or currency of payment of principal or interest in respect of any Note;

     (g) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of (including the
Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable), and interest on, such Holder’s Notes on or after
the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect
to such Holder’s Notes;

     (h) modify Article 15 in a manner adverse to the Holders of the Notes; or

     (i) make any change in the provisions of this Article 9 that require each Holder’s consent or
in the waiver provisions in Section 5.02 and Section 5.09.

     Upon the written request of the Company, accompanied by a copy of the Board Resolution
authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee
of evidence of the consent of Holders as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the
execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s
own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee shall
not be obligated to enter into such supplemental indenture.

     It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve
the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture. It shall be sufficient if such consent
shall approve the substance thereof. After an amendment under this Indenture becomes effective,
the Company shall mail to the Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. However, the
failure to give such notice to all affected Holders, or any defect in the notice, shall not impair
or affect the validity of the amendment.

54

 

     Section 9.03.  Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental
indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article 9, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be
modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitation of rights,
obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company, any other
obligor hereunder and the Holders shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder
subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments and all the terms and conditions of
any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of
this Indenture for any and all purposes.

     Section 9.04.  Notation on Notes. Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of
any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article 9 may bear a notation in a
form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If
the Company or the Trustee shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the
opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors, to any modification of this Indenture contained
in any such supplemental indenture may, at the Company’s expense, be prepared and executed by the
Company, authenticated by the Trustee (or an authenticating agent duly appointed by the Trustee
pursuant to Section 16.10) and delivered in exchange for the Notes then outstanding, upon surrender
of such Notes then outstanding.

     Section 9.05.  Evidence of Compliance of Supplemental Indenture to be Furnished to Trustee.
The Trustee shall be provided with and will be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of
Counsel and Officers’ Certificate stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver
authorized pursuant to this Article is authorized or permitted by this Indenture.

ARTICLE 10

Consolidation, Merger, Sale, Conveyance and Lease

     Section 10.01.  Company May Consolidate, Etc. on Certain Terms. Subject to the provisions of
Section 10.02, the Company shall not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or
lease all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets to, another Person, unless:

     (a) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Corporation”), if not the
Company, shall 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 Corporation (if not the
Company) shall expressly assume by supplemental indenture all of the Company’s obligations under
the Notes and this Indenture; and

     (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing under this Indenture.

     For purposes of this Section 10.01, the conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially
all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company, which

55

 

properties and
assets, if held by the Company instead of such Subsidiary or Subsidiaries, would constitute all or
substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company on a consolidated basis, shall be
deemed to be the conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the Company’s
properties and assets to another Person.

     Section 10.02.  Successor Corporation to be Substituted. In case of any such consolidation,
merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and upon the assumption by the Successor Corporation, by
supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the
Trustee, of the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on,
all of the Notes, the due and punctual payment or delivery, as the case may be, of the
consideration due upon conversion of the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the
covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Company, such Successor
Corporation (if not the Company) shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company with the same
effect as if the Successor Corporation had been named herein as the Company and
thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the Company shall be relieved of all obligations
and covenants under this Indenture and the Notes. Such Successor Corporation thereupon may cause
to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company any or all of the
Notes issuable hereunder that theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered
to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such Successor Corporation instead of the Company and
subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee
shall authenticate and shall deliver, or cause to be authenticated and delivered, any Notes that
previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for
authentication, and any Notes that such Successor Corporation thereafter shall cause to be signed
and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the Notes so issued shall in all respects have
the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Notes theretofore or thereafter issued
in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Notes had been issued at the
date of the execution hereof. In the event of any such consolidation, merger, conveyance or
transfer, but not in the event of any such lease, the Person named as the “Company” in the first
paragraph of this Indenture or any successor which shall thereafter have become such in the manner
prescribed in this Article 10 may be dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter and
such Person shall be released from its liabilities as obligor and maker of the Notes and from its
obligations under this Indenture.

     In case of any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease, such changes in
phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Notes thereafter to be issued as may
be appropriate.

     Section 10.03.  Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to be Given to Trustee. No
consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease described in Section 10.01 shall be permitted
unless the Trustee shall receive an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive
evidence that any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and any such assumption
complies with the provisions of this Article 10.

56

 

ARTICLE 11

Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture

     Section 11.01.  Discharge of Indenture. When (a) the Company shall deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation all Notes theretofore authenticated (other than any Notes that have been destroyed,
lost or stolen and in lieu of or in substitution for which other Notes shall have been
authenticated and delivered or that have been paid as provided in Section 2.07) and not theretofore
canceled, or (b) all the Notes not theretofore canceled or delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation shall have become due and payable, whether on the Maturity Date, or on any earlier
Fundamental Change Purchase Date, or upon conversion or otherwise, and the Company shall deposit
with the Trustee, in trust, cash or cash and shares of Common Stock, if any (solely to satisfy the
Company’s Conversion Obligation, if applicable), sufficient to pay all of the outstanding Notes and
all other sums due and payable hereunder by the Company, then this Indenture shall cease to be of
further effect except as to (i) the right of holders to receive payments or deliveries, as the case
may be, of principal (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) of, and
accrued and unpaid interest and any unpaid Conversion
Obligation (including any Additional Shares, if applicable) on, the Notes and the other
rights, duties and obligations of Holders, as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the
consideration, if any, so deposited with the Trustee, (ii) the rights, obligations and immunities
of the Trustee hereunder and (iii) the obligations of the Company under Section 6.06, and the
Trustee, on written demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel as required by Section 16.05 and at the cost and expense of the Company, shall execute
proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture; the Company,
however, hereby agrees to reimburse the Trustee for any costs or expenses thereafter reasonably
incurred by the Trustee and to compensate the Trustee for any services thereafter reasonably
rendered by the Trustee in connection with this Indenture or the Notes.

     Section 11.02.  Deposited Monies and Common Stock to be Held in Trust by Trustee. Subject to
Section 11.04, all monies and shares of Common Stock deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section
11.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it to the payment or delivery, as the case may be,
either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company if acting as its own Paying
Agent), to the Holders of the particular Notes for the payment or delivery, as the case may be, of
which such monies and shares of Common Stock have been deposited with the Trustee, of all
consideration due thereon for principal, accrued and unpaid interest and the Conversion Obligation.

     Section 11.03.  Paying Agent to Repay Monies and Common Stock Held. Upon the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture, all monies and shares of Common Stock then held by any Paying Agent of
the Notes (other than the Trustee) shall, upon written request of the Company, be repaid or
delivered, as the case may be, to it or paid to the Trustee, and thereupon such Paying Agent shall
be released from all further liability with respect to such monies.

     Section 11.04.  Return of Unclaimed Monies and Common Stock. Subject to the requirements of
applicable law, any monies or shares of Common Stock deposited with or paid to the Trustee for
payment of the principal (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if

57

 

applicable) of,
accrued and unpaid interest on, or Conversion Obligation with respect to, Notes and not applied but
remaining unclaimed by the Holders for two years after the date upon which the principal (including
the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) of, such accrued and unpaid interest on, or
such Conversion Obligation with respect to, such Notes, as the case may be, shall have become due
and payable, shall be repaid to the Company by the Trustee on written request and all liability of
the Trustee shall thereupon cease with respect to such monies and shares of Common Stock; and the
Holder of any of the Notes shall thereafter look only to the Company for any payment which such
Holder may be entitled to collect unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another
Person. The Trustee shall, promptly after such payment of the principal (including the Fundamental
Change Purchase Price, if applicable) of, any accrued and unpaid interest on, or Conversion
Obligation with respect to, Notes, as described in this Section 11.04 and upon written request of
the Company, return to the Company any funds or shares of Common Stock in excess of the amount
required for such payment or delivery.

     Section 11.05.  Reinstatement. If (i) the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any
money or shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 11.02 by reason of any order or judgment
of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise
prohibiting such application and (ii) the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount
of the then outstanding Notes so request by written notice to the Trustee, the Company’s
obligations under this Indenture shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred
pursuant to Section 11.01 until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply
all such money in accordance with Section 11.02; provided, however, that if the Company makes any
payment of interest on, or principal (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if
applicable) of, or Conversion Obligation with respect to, any Note following the reinstatement of
its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders to receive such
payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE 12

Immunity of Incorporators, Stockholders, Officers and Directors

     Section 12.01.  Indenture and Notes Solely Corporate Obligations. No recourse for the payment
of the principal (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) of, or accrued
and unpaid interest on, any Note, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof,
and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in this
Indenture or in any supplemental indenture or in any Note, or because of the creation of any
indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any past, present or future incorporator,
stockholder, employee, agent, officer or director or Subsidiary of the Company as such or of any
Successor Corporation, either directly or through the Company or any Successor Corporation, whether
by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or
penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such liability is hereby expressly
waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Indenture
and the issue of the Notes.

58

 

ARTICLE 13

Conversion of Notes

     Section 13.01.  Conversion Privilege; Company’s Right to Terminate Such Privilege. (a) Upon
compliance with the provisions of this Article 13, but subject to the Company’s right to terminate
Holders’ conversion rights on or after April 6, 2016 in accordance with Section 13.01(b), each
Holder 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 a multiple thereof) of such Note into shares of
Common Stock at any time prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding
the Maturity Date at an initial conversion rate (subject to adjustment as provided in Section
13.04, the “Conversion Rate”) of 92.2084 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount Notes
(subject to the settlement provisions of Section 13.03, the “Conversion Obligation”).

     (b) (i) On or after April 6, 2016, the Company may elect, in its sole discretion, upon at
least 30 and not more than 60 days’ notice, to terminate the conversion right set forth in Section
13.01(a) for all Notes, if the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock exceeds 130% of the
Conversion Price for at least 20 Trading Days in any consecutive 30 Trading Day period,
including the last Trading Day of such period, ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding
the date on which the Company publishes the Termination Notice.

     (ii) To exercise its right to terminate the conversion right of the Notes described in
Section 13.01(a), the Company must publish a notice (the “Termination Notice”) in a
newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York or publish the information on the
Company’s website or through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time
prior to the Close of Business on the first Business Day following any date on which the
conditions described in Section 13.01(b)(i) are satisfied, announcing such election to
terminate the conversion right of the Notes. The Company shall also give notice by mail to
the Trustee and Holders of the Notes not later than five Business Days after such
publication at their addresses shown in the Note Register of the Note Registrar. The date
on which the Company terminates Holders’ rights to convert their Notes (the “Termination
Date”) shall be a date selected by the Company, and shall be no more than 60 days or less
than 30 days after the date on which the Company publishes the Termination Notice.

     (iii) In addition to any information required by applicable law or regulation, the
Termination Notice and subsequent notice to the Trustee and Holders required by Section
13.01(b)(ii) shall state the Termination Date.

     (iv) On and after the Close of Business on the Termination Date, Holders’ rights to
convert their Notes as set forth in Section 13.01(a) shall automatically terminate. If the
Termination Date falls between a Regular Record Date for the payment of interest and the
corresponding Interest Payment Date, the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date
shall be paid in full to the Persons in whose names any Notes (or their Predecessor Notes)
are registered on the Note Register at the Close of Business on such

59

 

Regular Record Date
regardless of whether the Holders thereof surrenders such Notes for conversion on or prior
to the Termination Date.

     (v) The Company may not publish a Termination Notice or give any other notice of any
termination of the conversion rights set forth in Section 13.01(a) unless, prior to giving
such notice, all accrued and unpaid interest (including any Optionally Deferred Interest and
Compounded Interest thereon) on the Notes for all interest periods ended prior to the date
of such Termination Notice has been paid in full.

     Section 13.02.  Adjustments to Shares Delivered Upon Conversion Upon a Make-Whole Fundamental
Change. (a) If the Effective Date of a Fundamental Change (as defined in clause (1), clause (2)
or clause (4) of the definition thereof and determined after giving effect to any exceptions to or
exclusions from such definition, but without regard to the proviso in clause (2) of the definition
thereof, a “Make-Whole Fundamental Change”) occurs prior to the Maturity Date and a Holder elects
to convert its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall (i)
under the circumstances described in this Section 13.02, increase the Conversion Rate for the Notes
so surrendered for conversion by a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “Additional
Shares”), in accordance with this Section 13.02, and (ii) pay such Holder cash in an amount equal
to the amount of any Optionally Deferred Interest on the Notes, plus Compounded Interest thereon,
to the Conversion Date of such converted
Notes, in accordance with Section 13.03(c). A conversion of Notes shall be deemed for these
purposes to be “in connection with” such Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the Notice of Conversion
of the Notes is received by the Conversion Agent during the period from, and including, the
Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change to, and including, the Business Day immediately
prior to the related Fundamental Change Purchase Date (or, in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental
Change that would have been a Fundamental Change but for the proviso in clause (2) of the
definition thereof, the 35th Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such
Make-Whole Fundamental Change).

     (b) Upon surrender of Notes for conversion in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change,
the Company shall deliver shares of Common Stock, including the Additional Shares, in accordance
with Section 13.03(c). However, if the consideration for the Common Stock in any Make-Whole
Fundamental Change described in clause (2) of the definition of Fundamental Change is composed
entirely of cash, for any conversion of Notes following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole
Fundamental Change, the Conversion Obligation shall be calculated based solely on the Stock Price
for the transaction and shall be deemed to be an amount of cash per $1,000 principal amount of
converted Notes equal to the Conversion Rate (including any adjustment in accordance with this
Section 13.02), multiplied by such Stock Price. The Company shall notify Holders of the Effective
Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change and issue a press release announcing such Effective Date
no later than five Business Days after such Effective Date.

     (c) The number of Additional Shares, if any, by which the Conversion Rate shall be increased
for conversions of Notes in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be determined by
reference to the table in subsection (e) below, based on the date on which the

60

 

Make-Whole
Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the “Effective Date”) and the price (the “Stock
Price”) paid (or deemed to be paid) per share of the Common Stock in the Make-Whole Fundamental
Change. If the holders of the Common Stock receive only cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change
described in clause (2) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Stock Price shall be the cash
amount paid per share. Otherwise, the Stock Price shall be the average of the Closing Sale Prices
of the Common Stock over the five Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day
immediately preceding the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

     (d) The Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table in subsection (e) below
shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate is otherwise adjusted pursuant to
Section 13.04. The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal the Stock Prices in effect immediately prior
to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate in
effect 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 set
forth in the table in subsection (e) below shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same
time as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 13.04.

     (e) The following table sets forth the number of Additional Shares to be received per $1,000
principal amount of Notes converted in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change for each
Stock Price and Effective Date set forth below.

     The exact Stock Prices and Effective Dates may not be set forth in the table above, in
which case:

     (i) If the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table or the 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 Prices and the earlier and later Effective Dates, as
applicable, based on a 365-day year.

61

 

     (ii) If the Stock Price is greater than $100.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the
same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no
Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate.

     (iii) If the Stock Price is less than $9.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the
same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no
Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Conversion Rate per $1,000 principal amount of
Notes exceed 111.1104, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate pursuant to
Section 13.04.

     (f) Nothing in this Section 13.02 shall prevent an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant
to Section 13.04 in respect of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

     Section 13.03 . Conversion Procedures; Settlement Upon Conversion. (a) Subject to Section
13.03(i), before any Holder of a Note shall be entitled to convert the same as set forth above,
such Holder shall (1) in the case of a Global Note, comply with the procedures of the Depositary in
effect at that time and, if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest
Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 13.03(h) and, if
required, pay all taxes or duties, if any, as set forth in Section 13.03(f) and Section 13.03(i)
and (2) in the case of a Physical Note, (A) complete, manually sign and deliver an irrevocable
written notice to the Conversion Agent in the form on the reverse of such certificated Note, or a
facsimile thereof (a “Notice of Conversion”) to the office of the Conversion Agent and state in
writing therein the principal amount of Notes to be converted and the name or names (with
addresses) in which such Holder wishes the certificate or certificates for the shares of
Common Stock to be delivered upon settlement of the Conversion Obligation to be registered, (B)
surrender such Notes, duly endorsed to the Company or in blank (and accompanied by appropriate
endorsement and transfer documents), at the office of the Conversion Agent, (C) if required,
furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, (D) if required, pay all transfer or
similar taxes as set forth in Section 13.03(f) and Section 13.03(i), and (E) if required, pay funds
equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as
set forth in Section 13.03(h). A Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to
the Close of Business on the date (the “Conversion Date”) that the Holder has complied with the
requirements set forth in this Section 13.03(a). The Trustee (and, if different, the Conversion
Agent) shall notify the Company of any conversion pursuant to this Article 13 on the Conversion
Date for such conversion.

     (b) If a Holder has already delivered a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice in accordance with
Section 14.01(b)(i) with respect to a Note, the Holder may not surrender that Note for conversion
until the Holder has withdrawn the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice in accordance with Section
14.01(j).

     (c) Subject to Section 13.06, the Company shall satisfy the Conversion Obligation with respect
to each $1,000 principal amount of Notes surrendered for conversion, by (i) delivering to

62

 

the
converting Holder a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate and (ii) paying
to such Holder cash in respect of any fractional share of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
based on the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the relevant Conversion Date. In addition,
if such Notes are converted in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change in accordance with
Section 13.02, the Company shall also pay to the converting Holder cash in the amount of any
Optionally Deferred Interest on the converted Notes, plus any Compounded Interest thereon, to the
Conversion Date of such converted Notes. The Company shall deliver the consideration due in
respect of conversion to the Holder of the Note or Notes surrendered for conversion, or such
Holder’s nominee or nominees, no later than the third Business Day immediately following the
relevant Conversion Date, by issuing or causing to be issued, and delivering to the Conversion
Agent or to such Holder, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, certificates or a book-entry
transfer through the Depositary for the full number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder
shall be entitled in satisfaction of the Company’s Conversion Obligation.

     (d) Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as to any Notes surrendered for
conversion on the Conversion Date, and the Person in whose name the shares of Common Stock shall be
issuable upon such conversion shall become the holder of record of such shares as of the Close of
Business on such Conversion Date. Upon a conversion of Notes, such Person shall no longer be a
Holder of such Notes surrendered for conversion.

     (e) If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder,
the Conversion Obligation with respect to such Notes that shall be deliverable upon conversion
shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified
portions thereof to the extent permitted thereby) so surrendered.

     (f) In case any Note 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
Note so surrendered a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Note, without payment of any
documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax by the converting Holder but, if required by
the Company or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar
issue or transfer tax required by law or that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result of
the name of the Holder of the new Notes issued upon such conversion being different from the name
of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for such conversion. The Conversion Agent may refuse to
deliver the certificates representing the new Notes being issued in a name other than the Holder’s
name until the Trustee receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax that is due by such Holder in
accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

     (g) Upon the conversion of an interest in a Global Note, the Trustee, or the Custodian at the
direction of the Trustee, shall make a notation on such Global Note as to the reduction in the
principal amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any
conversion of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.

63

 

     (h) Upon conversion of Notes, the Holder thereof shall not receive any separate cash
payment for accrued and unpaid interest, if any, except as described below in this Section 13.03(h)
and except for a cash payment in respect of any Optionally Deferred Interest on the Notes, plus any
Compounded Interest thereon, for conversions of Notes in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental
Change in accordance with Section 13.03(c). The Company’s payment or delivery, as the case may be,
of the consideration into which a Note is convertible shall be deemed to satisfy in full its
obligation to pay the principal amount of the Note and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but
not including, the Conversion Date that is not paid in cash. As a result, accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, up to, but not including, the Conversion Date that is not paid in cash shall be
deemed to be paid in full through delivery of the consideration into which a Note is convertible
and such unpaid interest shall not be deemed cancelled, extinguished or forfeited.

     Notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, if Notes are converted after the Close of
Business on a Regular Record Date and prior to the immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date,
Holders of such Notes at the Close of Business on such Regular Record Date shall receive the amount
of interest payable on such Notes on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion.
Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from the Close of Business on any Regular Record
Date to the Open of Business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date must be accompanied
by funds equal to the amount of interest payable on the Notes so converted; provided that no such
payment need be made:

          (i) for conversions following the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the
Maturity Date;

          (ii) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Purchase Date that is after a
Regular Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date;

          (iii) if the Company has specified a Termination Date that is after a Regular Record
Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date; or

          (iv) to the extent of any overdue interest or Optionally Deferred Interest, including
any Compounded Interest thereon, if any overdue interest or Optionally Deferred Interest
exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Note.

     (i) If a Holder submits a Note for conversion, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or
similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of the shares of Common Stock upon the conversion,
unless the tax is due because the Holder requests such shares to be issued in a name other than the
Holder’s name, in which case the Holder shall pay that tax. The Conversion Agent may refuse to
deliver the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock being issued in a name other than
the Holder’s name until the Trustee receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax that is due by such
Holder in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

64

 

     (j) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Holder of Notes shall be entitled to receive shares of
Common Stock upon conversion to the extent (but only to the extent) that such receipt would cause
such converting Holder to become an “acquiring person,” as defined in the
Stockholder Rights Agreement. Any purported delivery of shares of Common Stock upon
conversion of Notes shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that
such delivery would result in the converting Holder becoming an “acquiring person” (as defined in
the Stockholder Rights Agreement). If any delivery of shares of Common Stock owed to a Holder upon
conversion of Notes is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of the foregoing limitation, the
Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and the Company shall deliver
such shares of Common Stock as promptly as practicable after any such converting Holder gives
notice to the Company that such delivery would not result in it becoming an “acquiring person,” as
defined in the Stockholder Rights Agreement, irrespective of whether the Company shall have
terminated Holders’ rights to convert their Notes in accordance with Section 13.01(b) prior to
settlement of our conversion obligation in full.

     Section 13.04. Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted, without
duplication, upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

     (a) If the Company issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of
Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate
shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 

	CR1 = CR0

	 	x
	 	OS1
	 	 
	 

	 	OS0	 	 	 	 

     where,

	 	 	 	 	 

	    CR0

	 	=
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business
on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the Open
of Business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case
may be;
	    
	 	 	 	 
	     CR1

	 	=
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on
the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the Open of
Business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case
may be;
	    
	 	 	 	 
	     OS0

	 	=
	 	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately
prior to the Open of Business on the effective date of such share split or share
combination, as the case may be; and
	    
	 	 	 	 
	     OS1

	 	=
	 	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving
effect to such dividend or distribution, or such share split or combination, as the
case may be.

65

 

Any adjustment made under this Section 13.04(a) shall become effective immediately after the Close
of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the Open of
Business on the effective date of such share split or share combination. If any dividend or
distribution of the type described in this Section 13.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made,
the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of
Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would
then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

     (b) If the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any
rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period expiring not more than 60 days immediately
following the announcement date of such distribution, to purchase or subscribe for shares of the
Common Stock at a price per share less than the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common
Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day
immediately preceding the announcement date of such distribution, the Conversion Rate shall be
increased based on the following formula:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 

	CR1   =   CR0

	 	x
	 	OS0 + X
	 	 
	 

	 	OS0 + Y	 	 	 	 

     where,

	 	 	 	 	 

	     CR0

	 	=
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on
the Record Date for such distribution;
	    
	 	 	 	 
	     CR1

	 	=
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on
the Record Date for such distribution;
	    
	 	 	 	 
	     OS0

	 	=
	 	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution;
	    
	 	 	 	 
	     X

	 	=
	 	the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights,
options or warrants; and
	    
	 	 	 	 
	     Y

	 	=
	 	the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to
exercise or convert such rights, options or warrants divided by the average of the
Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period
ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement date
of such distribution.

Any increase made under this Section 13.04(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights,
option or warrants are distributed and shall become effective immediately after the Close of
Business on the Record Date for such distribution. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are
not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall
be readjusted, effective as of the date of such expiration, to the Conversion Rate that would then
be in effect had the increase with respect to the distribution of such rights, options or

66

 

 warrants
been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered.
If such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate shall be
decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make such
distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Record Date for such
distribution 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 average of the Closing Sale Prices for the 10
consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the
announcement date of such distribution, 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, options 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) If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness or
other assets, securities or property of the Company, to all or substantially all holders of the
Common Stock, excluding:

     (i) dividends or distributions as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to
Section 13.04(a) or Section 13.04(b);

     (ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which an adjustment was
effected pursuant to Section 13.04(d); and

     (iii) distributions as to which the provisions set forth in the second and third
immediately succeeding paragraphs of this Section 13.04(c) shall apply),

(any of such shares of Capital Stock, indebtedness, or other assets, securities or property, the
“Distributed Property”), then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following
formula:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 

	CR1  =  CR0

	 	x
	 	SP0
	 	 
	 

	 	SP0 - FMV	 	 	 	 

     where,

	 	 	 	 	 

	     CR0

	 	=
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on
the Record Date for such distribution;
	    
	 	 	 	 
	     CR1

	 	=
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on
the Record Date for such distribution;

67

 

	 	 	 	 	 

	     SP0

	 	=
	 	the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10
consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately
preceding the Ex-Date for such distribution; and
	    
	 	 	 	 
	     FMV

	 	=
	 	the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of the
Distributed Property distributable with respect to each outstanding share of Common
Stock on the Ex-Date for such distribution.

     Any increase made under the portion of this Section 13.04(c) above shall become effective
immediately after the Close of Business on the Record Date for such distribution. If such
distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of
the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay or make the distribution, to the
Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than
“SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of Notes shall
receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, at the same time and upon the same terms as
holders of the Common Stock, the amount and kind of Distributed Property that such Holder would
have received as if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion
Rate in effect on the Record Date for such distribution.

     With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 13.04(c) where there has been a payment
of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of Capital Stock of any class or series, or
similar equity interests, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit where such Capital
Stock or similar equity interest is, or will be when issued, listed or quoted on a U.S. national
securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following
formula:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 

	CR1   =   CR0

	 	x
	 	FMV + MP0
	 	 
	 

	 	MP0	 	 	 	 

     where,

	 	 	 	 	 

	     CR0

	 	=
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on
the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Ex-Date for the
Spin-Off;
	    
	 	 	 	 
	     CR’

	 	=
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the
10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Ex-Date for the Spin-Off;
	    
	 	 	 	 
	     FMV

	 	=
	 	the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity
interest distributed to holders of Common Stock (determined by reference to the
definition of Closing Sale Price in Section 1.01 as if references therein to Common
Stock were instead to such Capital Stock or similar equity interest) applicable to one
share of Common Stock over the

68

 

	 	 	 	 	 

	    

	 	 	 	first 10 consecutive Trading Day period immediately
following, and including, the Ex-Date for the Spin-Off; and
	    
	 	 	 	 
	     MP0

	 	=
	 	the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10
consecutive Trading Day period immediately following, and including, the Ex-Date for
the Spin-Off.

     The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall become effective at
the Close of Business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Ex-Date for
the Spin-Off; provided that, for purposes of determining the Conversion Rate in respect of any
conversion during the 10 Trading Days following, and including, the Ex-Date of any Spin-Off,
references within the portion of this Section 13.04(c) related to “Spin-Offs” to 10 consecutive
Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced with such
lesser number of consecutive Trading Days as have elapsed between the Ex-Date of such Spin-Off
and the relevant Conversion Date.

     For purposes of this Section 13.04(c) (and subject in all respects to Section 13.04(i)),
rights, options 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, including
Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants,
until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“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 13.04(c) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section
13.04(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such
rights, options 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 13.04(c). If any such
right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior
to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights,
options 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, options or warrants with such
rights (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and
expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of
any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or
other event (of the type described in the immediately 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 13.04(c) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options
or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders
thereof, upon such final redemption or repurchase (x) the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if
such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Conversion Rate shall then again
be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed 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, options or
warrants (assuming

69

 

such holder had retained such rights, options 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, options 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, options and warrants
had not been issued.

     For purposes of Section 13.04(a), Section 13.04(b) and this Section 13.04(c), any dividend or
distribution to which this Section 13.04(c) is applicable that also includes one or both of:

     (i) a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which Section 13.04(a) is
applicable (the “Clause A Distribution”); and

     (ii) a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section
13.04(b) is applicable (the “Clause B Distribution”),

then (A) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B
Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 13.04(c) is
applicable (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this
Section 13.04(c) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall then be made, and (B) the Clause
A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C
Distribution and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 13.04(a) and Section 13.04(b)
with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Company (1) the “Record
Date” of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the Record
Date of the Clause C Distribution and (2) any shares of Common Stock included in the Clause A
Distribution or Clause B Distribution shall be deemed not to be “outstanding immediately prior to
the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to
the Open of Business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case
may be” within the meaning of Section 13.04(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to the Close of
Business on the Record Date for such distribution” within the meaning of Section 13.04(b).

     (d) If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of the
Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 

	CR1   =   CR0

	 	x
	 	SP0
	 	 
	 

	 	SP0 - C	 	 	 	 

     where,

	 	 	 	 	 

	     CR0

	 	=
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on
the Record Date for such dividend or distribution;
	    
	 	 	 	 
	     CR1

	 	=
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on
the Record Date for such dividend or distribution;

70

 

	 	 	 	 	 

	     SP0

	 	=
	 	the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10
consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately
preceding Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution; and
	    
	 	 	 	 
	     C

	 	=
	 	the amount in cash per share of Common Stock the Company distributes to
holders of Common Stock.

     Such increase shall become effective immediately after the Close of Business on the Record
Date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the
Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not
to pay or make such dividend, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend
or distribution had not been declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is
equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing adjustment,
each Holder of Notes shall receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, at the same time and
upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have
received as if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on
the Record Date for such dividend or distribution.

     (e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or
exchange offer for the Common Stock and the cash and value of any other consideration included in
the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common
Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next
succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or
exchange offer, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 

	CR1   =   CR0

	 	x
	 	AC + (SP1 x OS1)
	 	 
	 

	 	OS0 x SP1	 	 	 	 

     where,

	 	 	 	 	 

	     CR0

	 	=
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on
the last Trading Day of the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and
including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer
expires;
	    
	 	 	 	 
	     CR1

	 	=
	 	the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on
the last Trading Day of the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and
including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer
expires;
	    
	 	 	 	 
	     AC

	 	=
	 	the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by
the Board of Directors) paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased in such
tender or exchange offer;

71

 

	 	 	 	 	 

	     OS0

	 	=
	 	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the
date such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to such tender offer
or exchange offer);
	    
	 	 	 	 
	     OS1

	 	=
	 	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the date
such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to such tender offer or
exchange offer); and
	    
	 	 	 	 
	     SP1

	 	=
	 	the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10
consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next
succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.

     The increase to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall occur at the Close of
Business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, but excluding, the date such tender or
exchange offer expires; provided that, for purposes of determining the Conversion Rate in respect
of any conversion during the 10 Trading Days immediately following, but excluding, the date that
any such tender or exchange offer expires, references within this Section 13.04(e) to 10
consecutive Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of
consecutive Trading Days as have elapsed between the date such tender offer or exchange offer
expires and the relevant Conversion Date.

     (f) The Company shall not be required to adjust the Conversion Rate for any of the
transactions described in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), and (e) of this Section 13.04 (other than for
share splits or share combinations) if the Company makes provision for each Holder of the Notes to
participate in the transaction, at the same time as holders of the Common Stock participate,
without conversion, as if such Holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the
Conversion Rate in effect on the Record Date or effective date, as the case may be, for such
transaction, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such
Holder.

     (g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not adjust the
Conversion Rate pursuant to clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (i) of this Section 13.04 unless
such adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% of the then effective Conversion Rate.
However, the Company shall carry forward any adjustment that the Company would otherwise have to
make and take that adjustment into account in any subsequent adjustment. However, on December 31
of each year, and with respect to any converted Notes, the Company shall give effect to all
adjustments that the Company has otherwise deferred pursuant to this Section 13.04(g), and those
adjustments shall no longer be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
All calculations and other determinations made under this Article 14, including adjustments to the
Conversion Rate, shall be calculated to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share.

     (h) To the extent permitted by law and the continued listing requirements of The New York
Stock Exchange, the Company may, from time to time, increase the Conversion Rate by

72

 

any amount for
a period of at least 20 Business Days or any longer period permitted or required by law, so long as
the increase is irrevocable during that period and the Board of Directors determines that the
increase is in the Company’s best interests. The Company shall mail a notice of the increase to
registered Holders at least 15 days in advance of the day on which the increase becomes effective.
In addition, the Company may, but is not obligated to, increase the Conversion Rate as the Company
determines to be advisable in order to avoid or diminish taxes to recipients of certain
distributions.

     (i) If the Stockholder Rights Agreement or any other future rights plan (i.e., a poison pill)
adopted by the Company is in effect upon conversion of the Notes, each Holder shall receive, in
addition to any shares of Common Stock that are otherwise due upon conversion, the rights under the
Stockholder Rights Agreement or such other future rights plan in respect of such shares of Common
Stock, unless the rights have separated from the Common Stock such that such Holder would not be
entitled to receive any rights in respect of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, in which
case the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company had
distributed to all holders of Common Stock Distributed Property as described in Section 13.04(c),
subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

     (j) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly
file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief
statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. The Trustee and Conversion Agent may
conclusively rely on the accuracy of the Conversion Rate adjustment provided by the Company.
Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officers’
Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion
Rate and may assume without inquiry 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 became effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the
Conversion Rate to the Holder of each Note at its last address appearing on the Note Register
provided for in Section 2.06, within 20 days after the effective date of such adjustment. Failure
to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

     (k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.04, the Conversion Rate shall
not be adjusted:

     (i) upon 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;

     (ii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock, restricted stock or restricted
stock units, non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options or any other options or
rights (including stock appreciation rights) to purchase shares of Common

73

 

Stock pursuant to
any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of, or
assumed by, the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries;

     (iii) upon the issuance of any shares of the Common Stock pursuant to any option,
warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause
(ii) of this Section 13.04(k) and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued;

     (iv) for accrued and unpaid interest, if any; or

     (v) solely for a change in the par value of the shares of Common Stock.

     (l) For purposes of this Section 13.04, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time
outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company so long as the Company
does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock 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.

     Section 13.05. Adjustments of Prices. Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the
Company to calculate the Closing Sale Prices or the Stock Price for purposes of a Make-Whole
Fundamental Change over a span of multiple days, the Board of Directors shall make appropriate
adjustments to each to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or
any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the
Record Date of the event occurs, at any time during the period when such Closing Sale Prices
or Stock Prices are to be calculated.

     Section 13.06. Effect of Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of the Common
Stock. (a) In the case of:

     (i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than
changes resulting from a subdivision or combination),

     (ii) a consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company,

     (iii) a sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of
the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety, or

     (iv) any statutory share exchange,

in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for,
stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof)
(any such event, a “Reorganization Event”), then, at and after the effective time of the
Reorganization Event, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes into shares of
Common Stock shall be changed into a right to convert into the kind and amount of shares of stock,
other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a
Holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate would have

74

 

owned or been
entitled to receive (the “Reference Property”) upon such Reorganization Event and, prior to or at
the effective time of such Reorganization Event, the Company or the successor or purchasing
corporation, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture permitted
under Section 9.01(b) providing for such change in the right to convert each $1,000 principal
amount of Notes. In the event holders of the Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form
of consideration to be received in such Reorganization Event, the Reference Property into which the
Notes will be convertible shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of
consideration received by the holders of the Common Stock who affirmatively make such an election.
The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee)
of the weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made. The supplemental
indenture described above shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may
be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 13 and the Trustee may conclusively
rely on the determination by the Company of the equivalency of such adjustments. If, in the case
of any Reorganization Event, the Reference Property includes shares of stock, other securities or
other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) of a Person other than the
successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such Reorganization Event, then such
supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such
additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Notes as the Board of
Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including, without
limitation, the adjustments provided for in this Article 13 and, to the extent required by the
Board of Directors and practicable, the provisions providing for the purchase rights set forth in
Article 14.

     (b) In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section
13.06, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating
the reasons therefor, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or
assets (including cash or any combination thereof) will constitute the Reference Property after any
such Reorganization Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions
precedent have been complied with. The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such
supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Holder, at its address appearing on the Note Register
provided for in this Indenture, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such
notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.

     (c) The Company shall not become a party to any Reorganization Event unless its terms are
consistent with this Section 13.06. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a
Holder of Notes to convert its Notes into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions
of this Article 13 prior to the effective date of such Reorganization Event.

     (d) The above provisions of this Section 13.06 shall similarly apply to successive
Reorganization Events.

     Section 13.07. Responsibility of Trustee. Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture to
the contrary, the Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or
responsibility to any Holder to determine the Conversion Rate or whether any

75

 

facts exist that 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 securities or of any property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon
the conversion of any Note; 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 stock certificates or other securities or
property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any
of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article 13. 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 13.06 after any Reorganization Event or to
any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 6.01, may
accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in
relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the
Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto.

     Section 13.08. Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions. In case:

     (a) the Company or one of its Subsidiaries shall take any action that would require an
adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 13.04; or

     (b) of a Reorganization Event; or

     (c) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries;

then, in each case (unless notice of such event is otherwise required pursuant to another provision
of this Indenture), the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and to be mailed to each
Holder at its address appearing on the Note Register, as promptly as possible but in any event at
least 20 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on
which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such action by the Company or one of its
Subsidiaries or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock
of record are to be determined for the purposes of such action by the Company or one of its
Subsidiaries, or (y) the date on which such Reorganization Event, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that
holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities
or other property deliverable upon such Reorganization Event, dissolution, liquidation or
winding-up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or
validity of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, Reorganization Event,
dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.

76

 

     Section 13.09. Calculations. Except as otherwise provided in this Indenture, the
Company shall be responsible for making all calculations called for under the Notes. These
calculations include, but are not limited to, determinations of the Closing Sale Prices of the
Common Stock, accrued interest payable on the Notes and the Conversion Rate of the Notes. The
Company shall make all these calculations in good faith and, absent manifest error, its
calculations will be final and binding on Holders of Notes. The Company shall provide a schedule
of the Company’s calculations to each of the Trustee and the Conversion Agent, and each of the
Trustee and Conversion Agent is entitled to rely conclusively upon the accuracy of its calculations
without independent verification. The Trustee shall forward the Company’s calculations to any
Holder of Notes upon the request of that Holder. In addition, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent
shall not be responsible for monitoring the Stock Price or any other term required to be
calculated under this Indenture by the Company.

     Section 13.10. Shares to Be Fully Paid. 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 to provide for conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented
for conversion (assuming that at the time of computation of such number of shares, all such Notes
would be converted by a single Holder).

     Section 13.11. Certain Covenants. (a) The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock
issued upon conversion of Notes will be fully paid and non-assessable by the Company and free from
all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

     (b) The Company covenants that, if any shares of Common Stock to be provided for the purpose
of conversion of Notes 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 will, to the extent then permitted by the rules and interpretations of the Commission,
secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.

     (c) The Company further covenants that if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on any
U.S. national securities exchange or automated quotation system the Company will list and keep
listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation
system, any Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes.

ARTICLE 14

Purchase of Notes at Option of Holders

     Section 14.01. Purchase at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change. (a) If a
Fundamental Change occurs at any time, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option,
to require the Company to purchase all of such Holder’s Notes or any portion of the principal
amount thereof that is equal to $1,000 or a multiple of $1,000, for cash on the date (the
“Fundamental Change Purchase Date”) specified by the Company that is not less than 20 or more than
35 days following the date of the Company’s Fundamental Change Company Notice at a purchase price
(the “Fundamental Change Purchase Price”) equal to
100% of the

77

 

principal amount of the Notes to be
purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Purchase Date
(unless the Fundamental Change Purchase
Date is after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date
to which such Regular Record Date relates, in which case the Company shall instead pay the full
amount of accrued and unpaid interest to the Holder of record at the Close of Business on such
Regular Record Date and the Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be equal to 100% of the
principal amount of the Notes to be purchased).

     (b) Purchases of Notes under this Section 14.01 shall be made, at the option of the Holder
thereof, upon:

     (i) delivery to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by a
Holder of a duly completed notice (the “Fundamental Change Purchase Notice”) in the form set
forth in Attachment 2 to the Form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit A, if the Notes are
Physical Notes, or in compliance with the Depositary’s procedures for surrendering interests
in Global Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in each case prior to the Close of Business
on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (the
“Fundamental Change Expiration Time”); and

     (ii) delivery of the Notes to be purchased, if the Notes are Physical Notes, to the
Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) at any time after delivery of the

Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company), or
book-entry transfer of the Notes to be purchased, if the Notes are Global Notes, in

     (i) if the Notes are Physical Notes, the certificate numbers of Notes to be delivered
for purchase;

     (ii) the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be purchased, which must be $1,000
or an integral multiple thereof, and

     (iii) that the Notes are to be purchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable

provided, however, that if the Notes are Global Notes, the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice must
comply with appropriate procedures of the Depositary.

     (d) Any purchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 14.01
shall be consummated by payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price to the Holder on the later

78

 

     (e) The Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall promptly notify the
Company of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Purchase Notice or written notice of
withdrawal thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.01(j).

     (f) Any Note that is to be purchased only in part shall be surrendered to the Trustee (with,
if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by the Holder thereof or its
attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Note without service charge, a
new Note or Notes, containing identical terms and conditions, each in an authorized denomination
such that the aggregate principal amount of such new Note or Notes is equal to the unpurchased
portion of the principal amount of the Note so surrendered,.

     (g) On or before the 20th day after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall
provide to all Holders of the Notes and the Trustee and Paying Agent a notice (the “Fundamental
Change Company Notice”) of the occurrence of the Fundamental Change and of the resulting purchase
right. Such mailing shall be by first class mail or, in the case of Global Notes, in accordance
with applicable procedures of the Depositary. Simultaneously with providing such Fundamental
Change Company Notice, the Company shall publish a notice containing the information included
therein in a newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York or publish the information on
the Company’s website or through such other public medium as the Company may use at such time.

     (h) Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:

     (i) the events causing the Fundamental Change;

     (ii) the date of the Fundamental Change;

     (iii) the last date on which a Holder may exercise the purchase right;

     (iv) the Fundamental Change Purchase Price;

     (v) the Fundamental Change Purchase Date;

     (vi) the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent;

     (vii) the Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the Conversion Rate;

     (viii) that the Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has

Change Purchase Notice in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;

     (ix) the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to purchase their
Notes;

79

 

     (x) that the Holder must exercise the purchase right before the Fundamental Change
Expiration Time; and

     (xi) that the Holder shall have the right to withdraw any Notes surrendered prior to
the Fundamental Change Expiration Time.

     No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the
Holders’ purchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the purchase of the Notes
pursuant to this Section 14.01.

     (i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be purchased by the Company on any date at the
option of the Holders upon a Fundamental Change if the principal amount of the Notes has been
accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such date (except in the
case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental
Change Purchase Price with respect to such Notes). The Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by
the Company) will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any certificated Notes held by
it during the acceleration of the Notes (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a
Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to such
Notes) and shall deem to be cancelled any instructions for book-entry transfer of the Notes in
compliance with the procedures of the Depositary, in which case, upon such return or cancellation,
as the case may be, the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to
have been withdrawn.

     (j) A Fundamental Change Purchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of
withdrawal delivered to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) in accordance
with the Fundamental Change Purchase Company Notice at any time prior to the Fundamental Change
Expiration Time, specifying:

     (i) the principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such notice of withdrawal
is being submitted;

     (ii) if Physical Notes have been issued, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn
Notes; and

     (iii) the principal amount, if any, of such Note that remains subject to the original
Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, which portion must be in principal amounts of $1,000 or
an integral multiple of $1,000;

provided, however, that if the Notes are Global Notes, the notice must comply with appropriate
procedures of the Depositary.

     (k) On or prior to 11:00 a.m. (local time in The City of New York) on the Fundamental Change
Purchase Date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the
Company or if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust
as provided in Section 6.05) an amount of money sufficient to pay the

80

 

Fundamental Change Purchase Price on all of the Notes to be purchased. Subject to receipt of
funds and/or Notes by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company), payment
for Notes surrendered for purchase (and not withdrawn) prior to the Fundamental Change Expiration
Time will be made on the later of (x) the Fundamental Change Purchase Date with respect to such
Note (provided the Holder has satisfied the conditions to the payment of the Fundamental Change
Purchase Price in Section 14.01) and (y) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of such
Note to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by the Holder thereof in the
manner required by Section 14.01 by mailing checks for the amount payable to the Holders of such
Notes entitled thereto as they shall appear in the Note Register; provided, however, that payments
to the Depositary shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of
the Depositary or its nominee. The Trustee shall, promptly after such payment and upon written
demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the Fundamental Change Purchase
Price.

     (l) If the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) holds money sufficient to
purchase on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date all the Notes or portions thereof that are to be
purchased as of such Fundamental Change Purchase Date, then on and after the Fundamental Change
Purchase Date (i) such Notes will cease to be outstanding and interest will cease to accrue on such
Notes (whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes has been made or the Notes have been
delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent) and (ii) all other rights of the Holders of such Notes
will terminate, other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Purchase Price upon delivery
of the Notes.

     Section 14.02. Covenant To Comply With Applicable Laws Upon Purchase Of Notes. In connection
with any purchase offer pursuant to a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, the Company shall, if
required:

     (a) comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer rules
under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable;

     (b) file a Schedule TO or any other required schedule under the Exchange Act; and

     (c) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws in connection with any offer
by the Company to purchase the Notes;

in each case, so as to permit the rights and obligations under this Article 14 to be exercised in
the time and in the manner specified in this Article 14.

ARTICLE 15

Subordination

     Section 15.01. Agreement of Subordination. The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder
of the Notes issued hereunder by its acceptance thereof likewise covenants and agrees, that all
Notes shall be issued subject to the provisions of this Article 15; and each Person

81

 

holding any Note, whether upon original issue or upon transfer, assignment or exchange
thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions.

     All payments on the Notes, including the payment of principal of and interest on all Notes and
the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to the Notes subject to purchase in accordance
with Article 14, issued hereunder shall, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, be
subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash or other payment
satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt of all Senior Debt, whether outstanding at the date of
this Indenture or thereafter incurred.

     No provision of this Article 15 shall prevent the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default hereunder.

     Section 15.02. Payments to Holders. No payment shall be made with respect to the Notes,
including the payment of principal of or interest on all Notes and the Fundamental Change Purchase
Price with respect to the Notes subject to purchase in accordance with Article 14, except payments
and distributions made by the Trustee as permitted by the first or second paragraph of Section
15.05, if either of the following occurs:

     (a) the Company defaults in its obligations to pay the principal, premium, interest or
other amounts due on any Senior Debt, including a default under any redemption or repurchase
obligation, and the default continues beyond any period of grace that the Company has to
make those payments (a “Payment Default”); or

     (b) any other default occurs and is continuing on any Designated Senior Debt and (i)
the default permits the holders of the Designated Senior Debt to accelerate its maturity and
a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has received at the Corporate Trust Office a written
notice (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) of the default from the Company, the holder of such
Designated Senior Debt or a Representative of the Designated Senior Debt (a “Non-Payment
Default”).

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the delivery of a Payment Blockage Notice, no new
Payment Blockage Notice may be delivered and no new period of payment blockage with respect to the
Notes may begin until both (i) 365 consecutive days have elapsed since the effectiveness of the
immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice and (ii) all scheduled payments of principal and interest
with respect to the Notes that have come due have been paid in full in cash. No Non-Payment
Default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice with
respect to Designated Senior Debt whose holders or Representative delivered the Payment Blockage
Notice may be made the basis of a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice by the holders or
Representative of such Designated Senior Debt, whether or not within a period of 365 consecutive
days.

     The Company may and shall resume payments on and distributions in respect of the Notes upon:

82

 

     (1) in the case of a Payment Default, the date upon which the default is cured or
waived or ceases to exist, or

     (2) in the case of a Non-Payment Default, the earlier of (x) the date on which such
Non-Payment Default is cured or waived or ceases to exist, in each case as and to the extent
permitted under the documentation for the Designated Senior Debt, and (y) the 179th day
after the date on which the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received, in either case,
unless the maturity of the Designated Senior Debt has been accelerated or this Article 15
otherwise prohibits the payment or distribution at the time of such payment or distribution.

     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 Debt shall first be paid in full in cash, or other payments satisfactory to the holders
of Senior Debt, before any payment of cash, property or securities is made on account of the
principal of or interest on the Notes or the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to the
Notes subject to purchase in accordance with Article 14 (except, to the extent required by
applicable law, payments made pursuant to Article 11 from monies deposited with the Trustee
pursuant thereto prior to commencement of proceedings for such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation
or reorganization); 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 Notes or the Trustee would be entitled, except
for the provision of this Article 15, 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 Notes or by the Trustee under this Indenture if received by
them or it, directly to the holders of Senior Debt (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the
respective amounts of Senior Debt 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 Debt may have been issued, as
their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Debt in full in
cash, or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, after giving effect to any
concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Debt, before any payment or
distribution is made to the Holders of the Notes 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 10 shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the
purposes of this Section 15.02 if such other corporation shall, as a part of such consolidation,
merger, conveyance, transfer or lease, comply with the conditions stated in Article 10.

83

 

     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 Notes before all Senior Debt is paid in full, in cash or other
payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, or provision is made for such payment thereof
in accordance with its terms in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt,
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 Debt or their Representative or Representatives, as their
respective interests may appear, as calculated by the Company, for application to the payment of
all Senior Debt remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Debt in full, in cash or
other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt or their Representative, after giving
effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of such Senior Debt.

     Nothing in this Section 15.02 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or
pursuant to Section 5.05 and Section 6.06. This Section 15.02 shall be subject to the further
provisions of Section 15.05.

     Section 15.03. Subrogation of Notes. Subject to the payment in full, in cash or other
payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, of all Senior Debt, the rights of the Holders
of the Notes shall be subrogated to the extent of the payments or distributions made to the holders
of such Senior Debt pursuant to the provisions of this Article 15 (equally and ratably with the
holders of all indebtedness of the Company which by its express terms is subordinated to other
indebtedness of the Company to substantially the same extent as the Notes are subordinated and is
entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of the holders of Senior Debt to receive
payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to the Senior
Debt until the principal of and interest on the Notes shall be paid in full in cash or other
payment satisfactory to the Holders of Notes; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no
payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Debt of any cash, property or securities to
which the Holders of the Notes or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this
Article 15, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Article 15, to or for the
benefit of the holders of Senior Debt by Holders of the Notes or the Trustee, shall, as between the
Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Debt, and the Holders of the Notes, be deemed
to be a payment by the Company to or on account of the Senior Debt; and no payment or distribution
of cash, property or securities to or for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes pursuant to the
subrogation provisions of this Article 15, which would otherwise have been paid to the holders of
Senior Debt shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company to or for the account of the Notes. It
is understood that the provisions of this Article 15 are and are intended solely for the purposes
of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Notes, on the one hand, and the holders of
the Senior Debt, on the other hand.

     Nothing contained in this Article 15 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Notes is
intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior
Debt, and the Holders of the Notes, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and
unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the Notes the principal (including the Fundamental

84

 

Change Purchase Price, if applicable), interest on, and the consideration due upon conversion
of, the Notes 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 Notes and creditors of the
Company other than the holders of the Senior Debt.

     Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article 15, the
Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.01, and the Holders of the Notes shall be entitled
to conclusively 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 Notes, for
the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders
of the Senior Debt and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon and
all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 15.

     Section 15.04. Authorization to Effect Subordination. Each Holder of a Note 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 15 and
appoints the Trustee to act as the Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

     Section 15.05. Notice to Trustee. The Company shall give prompt written notice in the form
of an Officers’ Certificate to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee and to any Paying Agent of any
fact known to the Company that would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the
Trustee or any Paying Agent in respect of the Notes pursuant to the provisions of this Article 15.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 15 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 Notes pursuant to the
provisions of this Article 15, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have
received written notice thereof at the applicable Corporate Trust Office from the Company (in the
form of an Officers’ Certificate) or a Representative or a holder or holders of Senior Debt or from
any trustee thereof; and before the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the
provisions of Section 6.01, 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 Note) the Trustee shall not have received, with
respect to such monies, the notice provided for in this Section 15.05, 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. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 15 to the contrary, nothing shall prevent any
payment by the Trustee to the Holders of monies deposited with it pursuant to Article 11, and any
such payment shall not be subject to the provisions of this Article 15.

85

 

     The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.01, shall be entitled to conclusively rely
on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Representative or a Person representing itself to be
a holder of Senior Debt (or a trustee on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has
been given by a Representative or a holder of Senior Debt. 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 Debt to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 15, the
Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee
as to the amount of Senior Debt 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 15, 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 15.06. Trustee’s Relation to Senior Debt. The Trustee in its individual capacity
shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 15 in respect of any Senior Debt at
any time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Debt, and nothing in this
Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.

     With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe
only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article 15, and no
implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Debt 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 Debt and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.01, the Trustee shall not be
liable to any holder of Senior Debt if it shall pay over or deliver to Holders of Notes, the
Company or any other Person money or assets to which any holder of Senior Debt shall be entitled by
virtue of this Article 15 or otherwise.

     Section 15.07. No Impairment of Subordination. No right of any present or future holder of
any Senior Debt 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.

     Section 15.08. No Impairment of Conversion Right. Nothing contained in this Article 15 or
elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Notes is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company,
its creditors other than holders of Senior Debt and the Holders, the right, which is absolute and
unconditional, of the Holder of any Note to convert such Note in accordance with Article 13.

     Section 15.09. 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 15 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 15 in addition to or in

86

 

place of the Trustee; provided, however, that the first paragraph of Section 15.05 shall not
apply to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company if it or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent.

     Section 15.10. Senior Debt Entitled to Rely. The holders of Senior Debt (including, without
limitation, Designated Senior Debt) shall have the right to rely upon this Article 15, 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.

be authentication and delivery of such Notes “by the Trustee” and a certificate of authentication
executed on behalf of the Trustee by an authenticating agent shall be deemed to satisfy any
requirement hereunder or in the Notes for the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. Such
authenticating agent shall at all times be a Person eligible to serve as trustee hereunder pursuant
to Section 6.08.

     Any corporation or other entity into which any authenticating agent may be merged or converted
or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or other entity resulting from any merger,
consolidation or conversion to which any authenticating agent shall be a party, or any corporation
or other entity succeeding to the corporate trust business of any authenticating agent, shall be
the successor of the authenticating agent hereunder, if such successor corporation or other entity
is otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of the parties hereto or the authenticating agent or such successor
corporation or other entity.

     Any authenticating agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the
Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any authenticating
agent by giving written notice of termination to such authenticating agent and to the Company.
Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any
authenticating agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section, the Trustee shall promptly
appoint a successor authenticating agent (which may be the Trustee), shall give

89

 

written notice of such appointment to the Company and shall mail notice of such appointment to
all Holders as the names and addresses of such Holders appear on the Note Register.

     The Company agrees to pay to the authenticating agent from time to time reasonable
compensation for its services although the Company may terminate the authenticating agent, if it
determines such agent’s fees to be unreasonable.

     The provisions of Section 6.02, Section 6.03, Section 6.04, Section 7.03 and this Section
16.10 shall be applicable to any authenticating agent.

     If an authenticating agent is appointed pursuant to this Section 16.10, the Notes may have
endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative
certificate of authentication in the following form:

     __________________________,

     as Authenticating Agent, certifies that this is one of the Notes described

     in the within-named Indenture.

     By: ____________________

     Authorized Officer

     Section 16.11. Execution in Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed manually or by
facsimile in any number of counterparts, but such counterparts shall together constitute but one
and the same instrument.

     Section 16.12. USA PATRIOT Act. The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with
Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001))
(as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “USA PATRIOT Act”), the Trustee, like
all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money
laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Person or
legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with The Bank of New York Mellon
Trust Company, N.A. The Company agrees that it will provide the Trustee with such information as
the Trustee may request in order for the Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the USA PATRIOT
Act.

     Section 16.13. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTION
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

     Section 16.14. Force Majeure. In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any
failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by,
directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work
stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural

90

 

catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications
or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use
reasonable efforts that are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume
performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

     Section 16.15. Severability. In the event any provision of this Indenture or in the Notes
shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then (to the extent permitted by law) the validity,
legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or
impaired.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]

SUNRISE SENIOR LIVING, INC.

5.00% Junior Subordinated Convertible Notes Due 2041

     This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company, designated as its 5.00%
Junior Subordinated Convertible Notes Due 2041 (the “Notes”), issued under and pursuant to an
Indenture dated as of April 20, 2011 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New
York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental
thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights,
obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the
Notes. Additional Notes may be issued in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, subject to
certain conditions specified in the Indenture.

     Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Notes shall be unsecured junior
obligations of the Company subordinated in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future
Senior Debt.

     In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be
continuing, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes, may be declared, and
upon said declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to
the conditions provided in the Indenture.

     Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make all payments and
deliveries in respect of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price and the principal amount on the
Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the Holder who surrenders a Note to a Paying Agent to collect
such payments in respect of the Note. The Company will pay all such cash amounts in money of the
United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

     The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee in certain
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, and in certain other circumstances,
with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes at the time outstanding, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental
indentures modifying the terms of the Indenture and the Notes as described therein. It is also
provided in the Indenture that, subject to certain exceptions, the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all
of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences.

     No reference herein to the Indenture and nothing contained in this Note or elsewhere in the
Indenture or in this Note is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other
than the holders of Senior Debt, and the Holders of the Notes, the obligation of the Company, which
is absolute and unconditional, to pay or deliver, as the case may be, to the Holders of the Notes
the principal (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if

A-6

 

applicable), interest on, and
the consideration due upon conversion of, this Note 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 Notes and creditors of the Company other than
the holders of the Senior Debt.

     The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 principal
amount and integral multiples thereof. At the office or agency of the Company referred to on the
face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, Notes may
be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations,
without payment of any service charge but, if required by the Company or Trustee, with payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any transfer or similar tax that may be imposed in connection therewith as
a result of the name of the Holder of the new Notes issued upon such exchange of Notes being
different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for such exchange.

     The Notes are not subject to redemption through the operation of any sinking fund or
otherwise.

     Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Holder has the right, at such Holder’s
option, to require the Company to purchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes or any portion
thereof (in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof) on the Fundamental Change
Purchase Date at a price equal to the Fundamental Change Purchase Price.

     Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, including, without limitation, the Company’s right
to terminate Holders’ conversion rights in accordance therewith, the Holder hereof has the right,
at its option, at any time prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding
the Maturity Date, to convert any Notes or portion thereof which is $1,000 or a multiple thereof,
into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Rate specified in the Indenture, as adjusted from
time to time as provided in the Indenture, upon surrender of this Note, together with a Notice of
Conversion, a form of which is attached to the Note, as provided in the Indenture and this Note, to
the office of the Conversion Agent, and duly endorsed by, or accompanied by instruments of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the Holder or by its duly authorized
attorney.

     Terms used in this Note and defined in the Indenture are used herein as therein defined.

Exhibit 10.1

INDEPENDENT BANK CORP.

AND ROCKLAND TRUST COMPANY

EXECUTIVE OFFICER PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE PLAN

Plan Approval, Plan Year, and Defined Terms

     This Independent Bank Corp. and Rockland Trust Company Executive Officer Performance Incentive
Plan (the “Plan”) has been approved by the Board on April 14, 2011, based upon the recommendation
of the Compensation Committee, for use in the 2011 calendar year.

     Capitalized terms used in this Plan are defined as set forth below in Section 5.

SECTION 1: PURPOSE

     This Plan has been created to provide salaried Executive Officers of the Holding Company
and the Bank who are not entitled to sales commissions with a cash incentive program designed to
motivate them to perform to their full potential and thereby assist the Holding Company and the
Bank in achieving financial success. The financial success of the Holding Company and the Bank
shall be determined by comparing the financial results of the Holding Company with specific
financial performance goals approved by the Board, based upon the recommendation of the
Compensation Committee.

     A diagram depicting the process and computation used to determine a Participant’s Award, which
is more fully described below, is attached hereto as
Schedule 1.

SECTION 2: AWARDS

     Awards to Participants will be determined, and paid, as follows:

	a.	 	Participants. The persons eligible to receive Awards will consist of the Executive Officers
as selected by the compensation committee. Any Executive Officers who are paid sales
commissions are not eligible to participate in this Plan. Executive Officers will be eligible
to participate in this Plan upon their first date of employment. Executive Officers with less
than one year of service will receive a prorated award based on length of service. Newly
elected Executive Officers will participate in this Plan upon election to Executive Officer
status.
	 
	b.	 	Award Determination. The Award for the CEO will be derived from the product of the CEO’s
Target Award multiplied by the combined Bank and Peer Performance Factor. The Award for all
Participants other than the CEO will be derived from the product of the Participant’s Target
Award multiplied by the combined Bank and Peer Performance Adjustment Factor and multiplied by
the Individual Performance Adjustment Factor. The Award payable to any Participant,
therefore, may be less than or more than the Participant’s Target Award, depending upon
whether, or the

Page 1 of 16

 

	 	 	extent to which, Bank and Peer Performance Goals and — if applicable — individual Performance
Goals and Objectives for the Plan Year have been achieved.

	c.	 	Target Awards. Target Awards will be established by the Board for each Participant. The
tiers of percentages used to determine Target Awards for Executive Officers for the Plan Year
is attached hereto as Schedule 2.
	 
	d.	 	Bank and Peer Performance Goals. Bank and Peer Performance Goals will be established by the
Board. The Bank and Peer Performance Goals for the Plan Year are attached hereto as Schedule
3 and Schedule 4. In general, Bank and Peer Performance Goals will measure the Holding
Company’s financial performance and also, when appropriate, the achievement of specified
strategic goals and/or operational objectives.
	 
	e.	 	Bank Performance Adjustment Factor. The Bank Performance Adjustment Factor may be
adjusted upward or downward within the parameters set forth on Schedule 3, 3A and 3B based
upon the performance of the Holding Company as to a given performance criteria set forth in
the Bank Performance Goals. The range of the Bank Performance Adjustment Factor for the CEO
with respect to the Earnings Per Share Measure is set forth on Schedule 3A. The range of the
Bank Performance Adjustment Factor for all Participants other than the CEO with respect to the
Earnings Per Share Measure is set forth on Schedule 3B.
	 
	f.	 	Individual Performance Adjustment Factor. The Individual Performance Adjustment Factor
will not be applicable to the CEO. For all Participants other than the CEO, the Individual
Performance Adjustment Factor may be adjusted upward or downward within the parameters set
forth on Schedule 6 based upon an evaluation of their achievement of individual Performance
Goals and Objectives for the Plan Year.
	 
	g.	 	Payment of Awards. Awards will be paid, in cash, as soon as practicable after the close of
the Plan Year. No Award will be payable to any Participant who is not an Employee on the last
day of the Plan Year except that if, during the last eight months of the year, the Participant
takes normal retirement (as defined in the Bank’s principal retirement program), dies, or is
involuntarily terminated other than for Cause, the Participant may be entitled to a prorated
Award as and to the extent determined by the Board. If a Participant is on disability for
more than four months of the Plan Year, the Participant will be entitled to a prorated Award.
If disability lasts four months or less, there will be no reduction in the amount of the
Award. Participants who resign voluntarily after the end of the year, but before Award
payments are made, will be eligible for an Award as and to the extent determined by the Board.
Participants who leave after the end of the Plan Year with an overall rating of “1” or “2” on
their Employee Performance Appraisal for the Plan Year will not be eligible for an Award. In
the event of a Change of Control, the funds accrued by the Bank to the date of the Change of
Control will, subject to the approval of the Board, be awarded to the Participants according
to the terms of this Plan.

Page 2 of 16

 

	h.	 	Peer Performance Factor. The factors, percentile bands and weightings in Schedule 4 will be
used to determine peer performance as measured by the Bank Holding Company Performance Report
(BHCPR) report for bank holding companies for the fiscal year 2011. In the event the fourth
quarter BHCPR is unavailable, the third quarter return will be used in conjunction with peer
bank financial actual data reported for the fourth quarter.

	i.	 	Claw Back Provision. To participate in this Plan Executives must agree to and execute a
clawback agreement in the form adopted by the Compensation Committee at any time during the
performance period, consistent with Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley and any other applicable
regulatory agency requirements.

SECTION 3: ADMINISTRATION

This Plan will be administered by the Board, based upon the recommendations of the
Compensation Committee. All determinations regarding the achievement of any Bank Performance
Goals, the achievement of a Participant’s individual Performance Goals and Objectives, and the
amount of any individual Award will be made by the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion,
based upon the recommendations of the Compensation Committee. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Plan to the contrary, the Board reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion,
to: make adjustments to the Bank Performance Adjustment Factor within the parameters set forth on
Schedule 3 based upon either one-time, non-recurring, or extraordinary events or any other reason
that the Board deems appropriate; increase the Award for the CEO up to a maximum of 1.20 times the
amount that would be called for by the product of the CEO’s Target Award multiplied by the Bank
Performance Adjustment Factor; and, to reduce, including a reduction to zero, any Award to a
Participant otherwise payable under this Plan.

	a.	 	Authority. The Board will have authority (i) to exercise all of the powers granted under
this Plan, (ii) to construe, interpret and implement this Plan and any related document, (iii)
to prescribe, amend and rescind rules relating to this Plan, (iv) to make all determinations
necessary or advisable in administering this Plan, and (v) to correct any defect, supply any
omission and reconcile any inconsistency in this Plan. The Board shall also have such other
and further specified duties, powers, authority, and discretion as are elsewhere expressly set
forth in this Plan or as may be conferred upon the Board by necessary implication.

	b.	 	Determinations Final. The actions and determinations of the Board on all matters relating to
the Plan and any Awards will be final and conclusive, except to the extent otherwise provided
by law.

	c.	 	Liability. The Board will not be liable for any action taken or determination made in good
faith with respect to this Plan or any Award hereunder, and the Holding Company and the Bank
will indemnify and hold the Board harmless with respect to any actions taken or decisions made
in good faith under this Plan.

Page 3 of 16

 

	d.	 	Awards. The Board will have authority to determine, among other things, the Executive
Officers to whom, and the time or times at which, Awards will be made and the requisite
conditions thereof.

SECTION 4: MISCELLANEOUS

	a.	 	Nonassignability. No Award will be assignable or transferable (including pursuant to a
pledge or security interest) other than by will or by laws of descent and distribution.

	b.	 	Withholding Taxes. Whenever payments under this Plan are to be made, the Bank may withhold
therefrom an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable governmental withholding tax
requirements related thereto.

	c.	 	Amendment or Termination of this Plan. The Board may from time to time suspend or discontinue
this Plan or revise, amend, or terminate this Plan.

	d.	 	Non-Uniform Determinations. The Board’s determinations under this Plan need not be uniform
and may be made selectively among persons who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards
under this Plan, whether or not such persons are similarly situated. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Board will be entitled, among other things, to make
non-uniform and selective determinations and to establish non-uniform and selective Target
Awards. Any non-uniform determinations known at the time this Plan was approved are set forth
on Schedule 7.

	e.	 	Other Payments or Awards. Nothing contained in this Plan will be deemed in any way to limit
or restrict the Holding Company, the Bank, or the Board, from making any award or payment to
any person under any other plan, arrangement or understanding, whether now existing or
hereafter in effect.

	f.	 	Payments to Other Persons. If payments are legally required to be made to any person other
than the person to whom any amount is available under this Plan, payments will be made
accordingly. Any such payment will be a complete discharge of the liability of the Holding
Company, the Bank, and/or the Board.

	g.	 	Unfunded Plan. This is an unfunded Plan. No provision of this Plan will require the Holding
Company or the Bank, for the purpose of satisfying any obligations under this Plan, to
purchase assets or place any assets in a trust or other entity to which contributions are made
or otherwise to segregate any assets, nor will the Holding Company or the Bank maintain
separate bank accounts, books, records or other evidence of the existence of a segregated or
separately maintained or administered fund for such purposes. Participants will have no
rights under this Plan other than as unsecured general creditors of the Holding Company and
the Bank, except that insofar as they may have become entitled to payment of additional
compensation by performance of services, they will have the same rights as other employees
under generally applicable law.

Page 4 of 16

 

	h.	 	Limits of Liability. Neither the Holding Company, the Bank, the Board, nor any other person
participating in any determination of any question under this Plan, or in the interpretation,
administration or application of this Plan, will have any liability to any party for any
action taken or not taken in good faith under this Plan.

	i.	 	Rights of Employees. Nothing contained in this Plan will confer upon any Employee or
Participant any right to continue in the employ or other service of the Holding Company or the
Bank or constitute any contract or limit in any way the right of the Holding Company or the
Bank to change such person’s compensation or other benefits or to terminate the employment or
other service of such person with or without Cause.

	j.	 	Section Headings. The section headings contained herein are for the purposes of convenience
only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of this Plan, rather than the section
headings, will control.

	k.	 	Invalidity. If any term or provision contained herein will to any extent be invalid or
unenforceable, such term or provision will be reformed so that it is valid, and such
invalidity or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or part hereof.

INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE ADJUSTMENT FACTORS

	 	 	 	 	 
	Individual Goals and Objectives	 	Individual Performance
	for Plan Year	 	Adjustment Factor
	Does Not Meet Most
	 	 	0.0	 
	Meets Most
	 	 	0.6 - 0.8	 
	Fully Meets All or all the most important
	 	 	0.8 - 1.05	 
	Exceeds Most or most meaningful
	 	 	1.05 - 1.20	 
	Exceeds All or performs beyond objectives
	 	 	1.20 - 1.40	 

An Executive Officer’s achievement of individual performance Goals and Objectives will be
measured at his/her broadest level of individual responsibility, based upon the “Goals for Next
Year” section of his/her performance appraisal for the Plan Year. The Board may adjust an
Executive Officer’s entire Award downward if non-goals aspects of performance (e.g., values)
assessed with the Bank’s Employee Performance Appraisal are considered less than acceptable.
Awards, however, may not be increased for performance at or better than acceptable levels on
non-goals aspects of performance.
