     Section 3.3 Committee Decisions. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, all
designations, determinations, interpretations and other decisions under or with respect to the Plan
or any Award shall be within the discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time and shall be
final, conclusive and binding upon all Persons, including the Company, any Affiliate, any
Participant, any holder or beneficiary of any Award and any shareholder of the Company. Each
designation, determination, interpretation or other decision by the Committee shall require the
affirmative vote or consent of a majority of the members of the Committee.

     Section 3.4 Indemnification. Each Board and Committee member shall be indemnified and
held harmless by the Company from and against (a) any loss, cost, liability or

5

 

expense (including attorneys’ fees) that may be imposed upon or incurred by such Person in
connection with or resulting from any action, suit or proceeding to which such Person may be a
party or in which such Person may be involved by reason of any action taken or omitted to be taken
under the Plan or any Award Agreement and (b) any and all amounts paid by such Person, with the

Company shall have the right, at its own expense, to assume and defend any such action, suit or
proceeding, and, once the Company gives notice of its intent to assume the defense, the Company
shall have sole control over such defense with counsel of the Company’s choice. The foregoing
right of indemnification shall not be available to a Board or Committee member to the extent that a

Committee may revoke any such delegation of authority at any time.

to the contrary contained in the Plan, the Board may, in its discretion, at any time and from time
to time, grant Awards to directors who are not employees of the Company or any of its Affiliates or

ARTICLE IV

SHARES AND CASH SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

     Section 4.1 Shares and Cash Available for Awards.

          (a) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2, the maximum aggregate number of Shares
that may be delivered pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan shall be equal to one million five
hundred thousand (1,500,000) (the “Plan Share Limit”), of which one million five hundred
thousand (1,500,000) Shares may be delivered pursuant to Incentive Stock Options granted under the
Plan (the “Plan ISO Limit”). Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2, each Share
with respect to which an Award that can be settled in Shares is granted under the Plan shall reduce
the Plan Share Limit by one Share. Awards that are required to be settled in cash shall not reduce
the Plan Share Limit. If any Award granted under the Plan is forfeited (or otherwise expires,
terminates or is canceled without the delivery of all Shares subject to the Award) or is settled
other than wholly by delivery of Shares (including cash settlement), then, in any such case, any
number of Shares subject to such Award that were not issued with respect to such Award shall not be
treated as issued for purposes of this Section 4.1 and the Plan Share Limit shall be increased by
such number of Shares. If Shares issued upon exercise, vesting or settlement of an Award, or
Shares owned by a Participant, are surrendered or tendered to the Company in payment of the
Exercise Price of an Award or any taxes required to be withheld in respect of an Award, in each
case in accordance with the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, the Plan Share
Limit shall be increased by such number of surrendered or tendered Shares; provided that the Plan
ISO Limit shall not increase as a result of such surrender or tendering.

          (b) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2, (1) in the case of Awards that are
settled in Shares, the maximum aggregate number of Shares with respect to which Awards may be
granted to any Participant in any fiscal year of the Company under the Plan shall be one hundred
fifty thousand (150,000) (the “Annual Individual Plan Share Limit”), and (2) in the case of
Awards that are settled in cash based on the Fair Market Value of a Share, the maximum aggregate
amount of cash that may be paid pursuant to Awards granted to any Participant in any fiscal year of
the Company under the Plan shall be equal to the per-Share Fair Market Value as of the relevant
vesting, payment or settlement date multiplied by the Annual Individual Plan Share Limit. In the
case of all Awards other than those described in the preceding sentence, the maximum aggregate
amount of cash and other property (valued at its Fair Market Value) other than Shares that may be
paid or delivered pursuant to Awards under the Plan to any Participant in any fiscal year of the
Company shall be equal to four million dollars ($4,000,000).

     Section 4.2 Adjustments for Changes in Capitalization and Similar Events.

          (a) In the event of any extraordinary dividend or other extraordinary distribution (whether in
the form of cash, Shares, other securities or other property), recapitalization, rights offering,
stock split, reverse stock split, split-up or spin-off, the Committee shall, in the manner
determined by the Committee to be appropriate or desirable, adjust any or all of (1) the number of
Shares or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or property) with
respect to which Awards may be granted, including the

7

 

Plan Share Limit, the Plan ISO Limit and the Annual Individual Plan Share Limit, and (2) the
terms of any outstanding Award, including the number of Shares or other securities of the Company
(or number and kind of other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards or to which
outstanding Awards relate and the Exercise Price, if applicable, with respect to any Award. The
Company’s annual or quarterly cash dividend on Shares shall not be considered an “extraordinary
dividend” or other distribution that requires an adjustment described in the preceding sentence.

          (b) In the event that the Committee determines that any reorganization, merger, consolidation,
combination, repurchase or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of
warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company, or other similar
corporate transaction or event (including any Change of Control) affects the Shares such that an
adjustment is determined by the Committee in its discretion to be appropriate or desirable, then
the Committee may (1) in such manner as it may deem appropriate or desirable, adjust any or all of
(x) the number of Shares or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities
or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted, including the Plan Share Limit, the Plan
ISO Limit and the Annual Individual Plan Share Limit, and (y) the terms of any outstanding Award,
including the number of Shares or other securities of the Company (or number and kind of other
securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards or to which outstanding Awards relate and the
Exercise Price, if applicable, with respect to any Award, (2) if deemed appropriate or desirable by
the Committee, make provision for a cash payment to the holder of an outstanding Award in
consideration for the cancellation of such Award, including, in the case of an outstanding Option
or SAR, a cash payment to the holder of such Option or SAR in consideration for the cancellation of
such Option or SAR in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value (as of a date
specified by the Committee) of the Shares subject to such Option or SAR over the aggregate Exercise
Price of such Option or SAR, and (3) if deemed appropriate or desirable by the Committee, cancel
and terminate any Option or SAR having a per-Share Exercise Price equal to, or in excess of, the
Fair Market Value of a Share subject to such Option or SAR without any payment or consideration
therefor.

          (c) Awards may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted under the Plan in assumption
of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by the Company or any of its
Affiliates or an entity acquired by the Company or any of its Affiliates or with which the Company
or any of its Affiliates combines (“Substitute Awards”). However, in no event may any
Substitute Award be granted in a manner that would violate the prohibitions on repricing of Options
and SARs, as set forth in Section 12.2. The number of Shares underlying any Substitute Awards
shall be counted against the Plan Share Limit.

ARTICLE V

ELIGIBILITY AND TYPES OF AWARDS

     Section 5.1 Eligibility. Any director, officer, employee or consultant (including any
prospective director, officer, employee or consultant) of the Company or any of its Affiliates
shall be eligible to be designated as a Participant.

     Section 5.2 Types of Awards. Awards may be made under the Plan in the form of (a)
Options, (b) SARs, (c) Restricted Shares, (d) Restricted Stock Units, (e) other equity-based or

8

 

equity-related Awards that the Committee determines are consistent with the purpose of the
Plan and the interests of the Company, (f) Cash Incentive Awards, and (g) Performance Awards.
Awards may be granted in tandem with other Awards. No Incentive Stock Option (other than an
Incentive Stock Option that may be assumed or issued by the Company in connection with a
transaction to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies) may be granted to a person who is
ineligible to receive an Incentive Stock Option under the Code.

ARTICLE VI

OPTIONS

     Section 6.1 Grant. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have
discretion to determine (a) the Participants to whom Options shall be granted, (b) subject to
Section 4.1, the number of Shares subject to each Option to be granted to each Participant, (c)
whether each Option shall be an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option, and (d) the
terms of each Option, including the vesting criteria, term, methods of exercise and methods and
form of settlement. In the case of Incentive Stock Options, the terms of such grants shall be
subject to and comply with such rules as may be prescribed by Section 422 of the Code, including
applicable Treasury Regulations and including the requirement that the recipient of an Incentive
Stock Option must be an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary. Each Option granted under the
Plan shall be a Nonqualified Stock Option unless the applicable Award Agreement expressly states
that the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option. If an Option is intended to be an
Incentive Stock Option, and if, for any reason, such Option (or any portion of such Option) shall
not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, then, to the extent of such nonqualification, such Option
(or portion of such Option) shall be regarded as a Nonqualified Stock Option appropriately granted
under the Plan, provided that such Option (or portion of such Option) otherwise complies with the
Plan’s requirements relating to Nonqualified Stock Options.

     Section 6.2 Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of each Share covered by each Option
shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such Share (determined as of the date the
Option is granted). However, in the case of each Incentive Stock Option granted to an employee
who, at the time of the grant of such Option, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting
power of all classes of stock of the Company, the per-Share Exercise Price shall be no less than
110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of the grant. Each Option is, unless otherwise
specified by the Committee, intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section
162(m) of the Code.

     Section 6.3 Vesting and Exercise. Each Option shall be vested and exercisable at such
times, in such manner and subject to such terms as the Committee may, in its discretion, specify in
the applicable Award Agreement. Except as otherwise specified by the Committee in the applicable
Award Agreement, each Option may only be exercised to the extent that it has already vested at the
time of exercise. Except as otherwise specified by the Committee in the applicable Award
Agreement, each Option shall become vested and exercisable with respect to twenty percent of the
Shares subject to such Option on each of the first five anniversaries of the date of grant. Each
Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written or electronic notice of such exercise has been
given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Award by the person entitled to exercise
the Award and full payment pursuant to Section 6.4 for the Shares with respect to which the Award
is exercised has been received by the Company. Exercise of

9

 

each Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in the number of Shares that thereafter
may be available for sale under the Option. The Committee may impose such conditions with respect
to the exercise of each Option, including any conditions relating to the application of federal or
state securities laws, rules and regulations, as it may deem necessary or advisable.

     Section 6.4 Payment.

          (a) No Shares shall be delivered pursuant to any exercise of an Option until payment in full
of the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares is received by the Company and the Participant has
paid to the Company (or the Company has withheld in accordance with Section 14.12) an amount equal
to any federal, state, local and foreign income and employment taxes required to be withheld. Such
payments may be made in cash or by check payable to the order of the Company or, in the Committee’s
discretion, (1) by exchanging Shares owned by the Participant (which are not the subject of any
pledge or other security interest), (2) if there shall be a public market for the Shares at such
time, subject to such rules as may be established by the Committee, through delivery of irrevocable
instructions to a broker to sell the Shares otherwise deliverable upon the exercise of the Option
and to deliver cash promptly to the Company (commonly referred to as a broker-assisted cashless
Option exercise), (3) by having the Company withhold Shares from the Shares otherwise issuable
pursuant to the exercise of the Option, or (4) through any other method (or combination of methods)
as approved by the Committee; provided that the combined value of all cash and cash equivalents and
the Fair Market Value of any such Shares so tendered to the Company, together with any Shares
withheld by the Company in accordance with this Section 6.4 or Section 14.12, as of the date of
such tender, is at least equal to such aggregate Exercise Price and the amount of any federal,
state, local or foreign income or employment taxes required to be withheld, if applicable.

          (b) Wherever in the Plan or any Award Agreement a Participant is permitted to pay the Exercise
Price of an Option or taxes relating to the exercise of an Option by delivering Shares, the
Participant may, subject to procedures satisfactory to the Committee, satisfy such delivery
requirement by presenting proof of beneficial ownership of such Shares, in which case the Company
shall treat the Option as exercised without further payment and shall withhold such number of
Shares from the Shares acquired by the exercise of the Option.

     Section 6.5 Termination. Except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Award
Agreement, each Option shall automatically terminate, and shall cease to be exercisable, upon the
earlier of (a) the tenth anniversary of the date the Option is granted and (b) ninety days after
the date the Participant who is holding the Option ceases for any reason to be a director, officer,
employee or consultant of the Company or one of its Affiliates, and vesting of the Option shall
automatically terminate as of the date that the Participant’s service as a director, officer,
employee or consultant terminates. In no event may an Option be exercisable after the tenth
anniversary of the date the Option is granted.

     Section 6.6 Requirement of Notification Upon Disqualifying Disposition Under Section
421(b) of the Code. If any Participant shall make any disposition of Shares delivered pursuant
to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option under the circumstances described in Section 421(b) of
the Code (relating to certain disqualifying dispositions), such Participant shall notify the
Company of such disposition within ten days after the disposition.

ARTICLE VII

STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

     Section 7.1 Grant. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have
discretion to determine (a) the Participants to whom SARs shall be granted, (b) subject to Section
4.1, the number of SARs to be granted to each Participant, (c) the Exercise Price of the SARs, (d)
whether the SARs will be granted in tandem with other Awards, and (e) the terms of each SAR,
including the vesting criteria, term, methods of exercise and methods and form of settlement.

     Section 7.2 Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of each Share covered by an SAR shall
be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such Share (determined as of the date the SAR is
granted). Each SAR is, unless otherwise specified by the Committee, intended to qualify as
“performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code.

     Section 7.3 Vesting and Exercise. Each SAR shall entitle the Participant to receive
an amount upon exercise equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the
date of exercise of the SAR over the Exercise Price of the SAR. The Committee shall determine, in
its discretion, whether an SAR shall be settled in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards,
other property or a combination of any of the foregoing. Each SAR shall be vested and exercisable
at such times, in such manner and subject to such terms as the Committee may, in its discretion,
specify in the applicable Award Agreement or thereafter. Except as otherwise specified by the
Committee in the applicable Award Agreement, each SAR shall become vested with respect to twenty
percent of the Shares subject to such SAR on each of the first five anniversaries of the date of
grant.

     Section 7.4 Termination. Except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Award
Agreement, each SAR shall automatically terminate, without any payment, upon the earlier of (a) the
tenth anniversary of the date the SAR is granted and (b) ninety days after the date the Participant
who is holding the SAR ceases for any reason to be a director, officer, employee or consultant of
the Company or one of its Affiliates. In no event may an SAR be exercisable after the tenth
anniversary of the date the SAR is granted.

a specified formula). Restricted Stock Units shall be paid in cash, Shares, other securities,
other Awards or other property, as determined in the discretion of the Committee, upon the lapse of
applicable restrictions, or otherwise in accordance with the applicable Award Agreement. Except as
otherwise specified by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement, Restricted Shares and
Restricted Stock Units shall become vested with respect to twenty percent of the Shares subject to
such Awards on each of the first five anniversaries of the date of grant. If a Restricted Share or
a Restricted Stock Unit is intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section
162(m) of the Code, all requirements set forth in Article XI must be satisfied in order for the
applicable restrictions to lapse.

          (b) Except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, (1) each Restricted Share
and Restricted Stock Unit shall cease to vest on the date that the Participant who holds the
Restricted Share or Restricted Stock Unit ceases for any reason to be a director, officer, employee
or consultant of the Company or one of its Affiliates, and (2) the Participant’s rights with
respect to the unvested portion of each Restricted Share or Restricted Stock Unit shall terminate

Code. No election under Section 83(b) of the Code (to include in gross income in the year of
transfer the amounts specified in Section 83(b) of the Code) or under a similar provision of law
may be made unless expressly permitted by the terms of the applicable Award Agreement or by action
of the Committee in writing prior to the making of such election. If an Award recipient, in
connection with the acquisition of Shares under the Plan or otherwise, is expressly permitted under
the terms of the applicable Award Agreement or by such Committee action to make such an election
and the Participant makes the election, the Participant shall notify the Committee of such election
within ten days after filing notice of the election with the Internal Revenue Service (or any
successor) or other governmental authority, in addition to any filing and notification required
pursuant to rules and regulations issued under Section 83(b) of the Code or any other applicable
provision.

Committee shall have discretion to grant to Participants other equity-based or equity-related
Awards (including both fully vested Shares and unfunded and unsecured covenants by the Company
to deliver Shares in accordance with the terms of the applicable Award Agreements, and whether
payable in cash, equity or otherwise) in such amounts and subject to such terms as the Committee
shall determine. If such other equity-based or equity-related Awards are intended to qualify as
“performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, all requirements set forth in
Article XI must be satisfied with respect to such Awards.

     Section 9.2 Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. In the discretion of the Committee,

to each Participant, (c) the duration of the period during which, and the conditions, if any, under
which, the Cash Incentive Awards may vest or may be forfeited to the Company, and (d) the other
terms of the Cash Incentive Awards. The Committee may, in its discretion, set performance goals or
other payment conditions that, depending on the extent to which they are met during a specified
performance period, shall determine the amount of cash that shall be paid to each Participant under
his or her Cash Incentive Award.

     Section 10.2 Earning of Cash Incentive Awards. Subject to the provisions of the Plan,
after any applicable vesting or performance period has ended, the holder of a Cash Incentive Award
shall be entitled to receive a payment of the amount of cash earned by the Participant over the

function of the extent to which the corresponding performance goals or other conditions to payment
have been achieved.

     Section 10.3 Treatment of Cash Incentive Awards as Performance Awards. Each Cash
Incentive Award that is intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section
162(m) of the Code must satisfy the Performance Award requirements set forth in Article XI in order
for a Participant to be entitled to payment with respect to the Cash Incentive Award.

ARTICLE XI

PERFORMANCE AWARDS

     Section 11.1 General.

          (a) Unless otherwise specified by the Committee, each Cash Incentive Award shall be intended
by the Committee to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code
and all requirements set forth in this Article XI for a Performance Award must be satisfied in
order for a Participant to be entitled to payment with respect to a Cash Incentive Award. The
Committee has discretion to specify at the time of the grant of a Cash Incentive Award that it is
not intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, in
which event the requirements of Article XI shall not apply to the Cash Incentive Award.

          (b) The Committee shall have the authority, at the time of grant of any Award other than a
Cash Incentive Award, to designate such Award as a Performance Award in order for such Award to
qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, in which event the
requirements set forth in this Article XI must be satisfied with respect to such Award.
Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code, including
applicable Treasury Regulations, Options and SARs granted under the Plan shall not be required to
satisfy the requirements of this Article XI that are applicable to Performance Awards.

     Section 11.2 Eligibility. The Committee shall, in its discretion, designate within
the first ninety days of a Performance Period (or, if shorter, within the maximum period allowed
under Section 162(m) of the Code) which Participants shall be eligible to receive Performance
Awards in respect of such Performance Period. Designation of a Participant as being eligible to
receive a Performance Award for a particular Performance Period shall not require designation of
such Participant as being eligible to receive a Performance Award in any subsequent Performance
Period, and designation of one Person as a Participant eligible to receive a Performance Award
shall not require designation of any other Person as a Participant eligible to receive a
Performance Award in such period or in any other period.

     Section 11.3 Discretion of the Committee with Respect to Performance Awards. With
regard to a particular Performance Period, the Committee shall have discretion to select (a) the
length of such Performance Period, (b) the type(s) of Performance Awards to be issued, (c) the
Performance Criteria that shall be used to establish the Performance Goal(s), (d) the kind(s)
and/or level(s) of the Performance Goal(s) that is (are) to apply to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, Affiliates, divisions or operational units, or any combination of the foregoing, and
(e) the Performance Formula. Within the first ninety days of a Performance Period (or, if shorter,
within the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code), the Committee shall, with
regard to the Performance Awards to be issued for such Performance Period, exercise its discretion
with respect to each of the matters enumerated in the immediately preceding sentence and record the
same in writing.

     Section 11.4 Performance Criteria. The Performance Criteria that shall be used to
establish the Performance Goal(s) with respect to Performance Awards shall be based on the

14

 

attainment of specific levels of performance of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, Affiliates,
divisions or operational units, or any combination of the foregoing, calculated over a period of
one fiscal year or any other shorter or longer period specified by the Committee, and shall be
limited to the following: (a) net income; (b) income before income taxes; (c) net income per
Share; (d) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and/or amortization; (e) increases in
Share price; (f) sales (including specified types or categories of sales); (g) gross or net
margin; (h) operating income; (i) reductions in costs and expenses (including specified types or
categories of costs and expenses); (j) cash flow (including specified types or categories of cash
flow); (k) return on shareholders’ equity or invested capital; (l) return on assets or sales; (m)
working capital; (n) objective measures of productivity or operating efficiency; (o) market share
(in the aggregate or by segment); (p) amount or performance of business acquisitions; (q) market
capitalization; and (r) book value. Such Performance Criteria may be applied on an absolute basis,
be relative to one or more peer companies of the Company or indices or any combination thereof or,
if applicable, be computed on an accrual or cash accounting basis. To the extent required under
Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee shall, within the first ninety days of the applicable
Performance Period (or, if shorter, within the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the
Code), define in an objective manner the method of calculating the Performance Criteria it selects
to use for such Performance Period.

     Section 11.5 Modification of Performance Goals. The Committee is authorized at any
time during the first ninety days of a Performance Period (or, if shorter, within the maximum
period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code), or any time thereafter (but only to the extent
the exercise of such authority after such ninety-day period, or such shorter period, if applicable,
would not cause the Performance Awards granted to any Participant for the Performance Period to
fail to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code), in its
discretion, to adjust or modify the calculation of a Performance Goal for such Performance Period
to the extent permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code (a) in the event of, or in anticipation
of, any unusual or extraordinary corporate item, transaction, event or development affecting the
Company, or any of its Affiliates, Subsidiaries, divisions or operating units (to the extent
applicable to such Performance Goal) or (b) in recognition of, or in anticipation of, any other
unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company or any of its Affiliates, Subsidiaries,
divisions or operating units (to the extent applicable to such Performance Goal), or the financial
statements of the Company or any of its Affiliates, Subsidiaries, divisions or operating units (to
the extent applicable to such Performance Goal), or of changes in applicable rules, rulings,
regulations or other requirements of any governmental body or securities exchange, accounting
principles, law or business conditions.

     Section 11.6 Payment of Performance Awards.

          (a) Condition to Receipt of Payment. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable
Award Agreement, a Participant must be employed by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries on the
last day of a Performance Period to be eligible for any payment in respect of a Performance Award
for such Performance Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing and to the extent permitted by Section
162(m) of the Code, in the discretion of the Committee, a full or partial Performance Award may be
paid to a Participant who has retired, or has terminated his or her employment due to a long-term
disability, in accordance with Company policies prior to the

15

 

last day of the Performance Period for
which a Performance Award is made or to the designee or estate of a Participant who has died prior
to the last day of a Performance Period.

          (b) Limitation. Except as otherwise permitted by Section 162(m) of the Code, a
Participant shall be eligible to receive payments in respect of a Performance Award only to the
extent that (1) the Performance Goal(s) for the relevant
Performance Period is achieved and certified by the Committee in accordance with Section 11.6(c) and (2) the Performance Formula
as applied against such Performance Goal(s) determines that all or some portion of such
Participant’s Performance Award has been earned for such Performance Period.

          (c) Certification. Following the completion of a Performance Period and prior to the
payment of any Performance Awards, the Committee shall certify in writing whether, and to what
extent, the Performance Goals for the Performance Period have been achieved and, if so, certify in
writing that amount of the Performance Awards earned for the period based upon the Performance
Formula. The Committee shall then determine the actual amount of each Participant’s Performance
Award for the Performance Period and, in so doing, may apply negative discretion as authorized by
Section 11.6(d).

          (d) Negative Committee Discretion. In determining the actual amount of an individual
Performance Award for a Performance Period, the Committee may, in its discretion, reduce or
eliminate the amount of the Award earned in the Performance Period, even if applicable Performance
Goals have been attained, so long as the exercise of such discretion by the Committee would not
cause the Performance Award to fail to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section
162(m) of the Code.

          (e) Other Committee Discretion. Except as otherwise permitted by Section 162(m) of
the Code, in no event shall any discretionary authority granted to the Committee by the Plan be
used to (1) grant or provide payment in respect of Performance Awards for a Performance Period if
the Performance Goals for such Performance Period have not been attained, (2) increase a
Performance Award for any Participant at any time after the first ninety days of the Performance
Period (or, if shorter, the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code, or (3)
increase the amount of a Performance Award above the maximum amount payable under Section 4.1(b) of
the Plan.

          (f) Timing of Performance Award Payments; Shareholder Approval Required.

               (i) The Performance Awards earned for a Performance Period shall be paid to Participants as
soon as administratively possible following completion of the certification required by Section
11.6(c). However, in no event shall any Performance Award granted for a Performance Period be paid
later than the fifteenth day of the third month following the end of the Performance Period.

               (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article XI, no Performance Award shall
be paid to any Participant unless and until the approval by the Company’s shareholders regarding
the Plan that is required by Section 162(m) of the Code has been obtained.

16

 

ARTICLE XII

AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION

     Section 12.1 Amendment or Termination of the Plan. The Plan (or any portion of it)
may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Board without the approval of the shareholders of
the Company, except that shareholder approval shall be required for any
amendment that would (a) increase the Plan Share Limit or increase the maximum number of
Shares that may be delivered pursuant to Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan, provided,
however, that any adjustment under Section 4.2 shall not constitute an increase for purposes of
this Section 12.1, (b) change the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 5.1 for
participation in the Plan, (c) result in an amendment, cancellation or other action described in
clause (a), (b) or (c) of the second sentence of Section 12.2, or (d) amend the Plan in any other
manner that requires shareholder approval under Section 162(m) of the Code, under the rules of
NASDAQ (or any successor exchange or quotation system on which the Shares may be listed or quoted)
or under any other applicable laws, rules or regulations. No amendment or termination of the Plan
may, without the consent of the Participant to whom any Award shall have been granted, materially
and adversely affect the rights of such Participant under such Award, unless otherwise provided by
the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement.

     Section 12.2 Amendments to Awards; No Repricing of Awards. The Committee may waive
any conditions or rights under, amend any terms or conditions of, or alter, suspend, discontinue,
cancel or terminate any Award that has been granted under the Plan, prospectively or retroactively;
provided, however, that, except as set forth in the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement, any
such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that
would materially and adversely impair the rights of the Participant who holds the Award shall not
to that extent be effective without the consent of the Participant. Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, in no event may any Option or SAR (a) be amended to decrease the Exercise Price of the
Option or SAR, (b) be cancelled at a time when its Exercise Price exceeds the Fair Market Value of
the underlying Shares in exchange for another Option or SAR or any Restricted Share, Restricted
Stock Unit, other equity-based Award, award under any other equity-compensation plan or any cash
payment, or (c) be subject to any action that would be treated, for accounting purposes, as a
“repricing” of such Option or SAR, unless such amendment, cancellation or action is approved by the
Company’s shareholders. For the avoidance of doubt, an adjustment to the Exercise Price of an
Option or SAR that is made in accordance with Section 4.2 or Section 13.2 shall not be considered a
reduction in the Exercise Price or a “repricing” of such Option or SAR.

ARTICLE XIII

CHANGE OF CONTROL OF THE COMPANY

     Section 13.1 Definition. “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of
the following events, unless a different definition of “Change of Control” is set forth in the
applicable Award Agreement:

          (a) The completion of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation or
entity, excluding a merger or consolidation which results in the voting securities of the Company
outstanding immediately prior to the completion of such merger or 

17

 

consolidation continuing to
represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the
surviving corporation or other entity or its parent) more than fifty percent of the total voting
power represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving corporation or other
entity or its parent outstanding immediately after the completion of the merger or consolidation;

          (b) The completion of the sale or other disposition of all, or substantially all, of the
Company’s assets (in one or a series of related transactions) to any corporation or other entity or
Person or “group” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act),
excluding any sale or other disposition of the Company’s assets in a merger or consolidation
described in paragraph (a) above that does not constitute a Change of Control; or

          (c) Any Person or “group” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the
Exchange Act), other than the Company, becomes the Beneficial Owner of outstanding securities of
the Company representing more than fifty percent of the total voting power of the then-outstanding
voting securities of the Company if, within two years after such fifty percent ownership threshold
has been exceeded, a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into such Person or group (or
with or into an Affiliate of such Person or group) is completed, with the date of the Change of
Control for purposes of this paragraph (c) to be the date of the completion of such merger or
consolidation.

     Section 13.2 Effect of a Change of Control. Unless otherwise provided in the
applicable Award Agreements or unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if a Change of Control
occurs and if the agreements entered into by the Company with respect to the Change of Control do
not provide for, on a basis determined by the Committee to be appropriate, (x) the continuation in
full force and effect of the applicable Awards that are outstanding as of the Change of Control,
(y) the assumption in full by the Company’s successor in the Change of Control of such Awards that
are outstanding as of the Change of Control, or (z) the substitution by the Company’s successor in
the Change of Control for such Awards of new awards with substantially similar terms, including
securities of the successor corporation or its “parent corporation” (as defined in Section 424(e)
of the Code) with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kinds of securities and exercise
prices with respect to Options, SARs, Restricted Shares and Restricted Stock Units, then:

          (a) Any outstanding Options or SARs then held by Participants that are unexercisable or
otherwise unvested shall automatically be deemed exercisable or otherwise vested, as the case may
be, as of five days prior to the Change of Control and shall terminate on the date of the Change of
Control;

          (b) All Awards designated as Performance Awards shall be paid out as if the date of the Change
of Control were the last day of the applicable Performance Period and “target” performance levels
had been attained; provided, however, that the Committee shall have discretion to cancel, without
payment and effective as of the Change of Control, any or all outstanding Incentive Cash Awards
that constitute Performance Awards if the Change of Control occurs prior to the completion of at
least fifty percent of the Performance Period governing such Incentive Cash Awards; and

18

 

          (c) All other outstanding Awards (i.e., other than Options, SARs and Awards designated as
Performance Awards) then held by Participants that are unexercisable, unvested or still subject to
restrictions or forfeiture, shall automatically be deemed exercisable and vested and all
restrictions and forfeiture provisions related to such Awards shall lapse immediately prior to the
Change of Control.

     Section 13.3 Dissolution of the Company. If the Company’s shareholders approve the
dissolution of the Company, all then-outstanding Awards under the Plan shall terminate on the date
that the Company files a certificate of dissolution with the California Secretary of State pursuant
to Section 1905 of the California General Corporation Law. At any time after the Company’s
shareholders approve the dissolution of the Company but prior to the filing of the certificate of
dissolution, the Committee shall have discretion to make such adjustments to the terms of any or
all outstanding Awards as it determines are appropriate, including providing that (a) any or all
outstanding but unvested Options and SARs shall become vested and exercisable in full for a period
specified by the Committee and (b) any or all outstanding but unvested Restricted Shares and
Restricted Stock Units shall become vested in full.

ARTICLE XIV

GENERAL PROVISIONS

     Section 14.1 Award Agreements. Each Award under the Plan shall be evidenced by an
Award Agreement, in a form approved by the Committee and which shall be delivered to the
Participant and shall specify the terms of the Award including, if so desired by the Committee, the
effect on such Award of the death, disability or termination of employment or service of a
Participant and the effect, if any, of such other events as may be determined by the Committee.
Each Award Agreement shall be subject to, and governed by, all of the terms of the Plan.

     Section 14.2 Share Certificates. All certificates for Shares or other securities of
the Company or any Affiliate delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award or the exercise of any
Award shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may
deem advisable under the Plan, the applicable Award Agreement or the rules, regulations and other
requirements of the SEC, NASDAQ or any other stock exchange or quotation system upon which such
Shares or other securities are then listed or quoted and any applicable federal or state laws,
rules and regulations, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be placed on any such
certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

     Section 14.3 Nontransferability. Except as otherwise specified in the applicable
Award Agreement, during a Participant’s lifetime each Award (and any rights and obligations under
the Award) shall be exercisable only by the Participant or, if permissible under applicable laws,
rules and regulations, by the Participant’s legal guardian or representative, and no Award (or any
rights and obligations under the Award) may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or
otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution, and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale,
transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate;
provided that (a) the designation of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation,
pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance, and (b) the Board or the Committee may adopt
rules permitting the transfer, solely as gifts during the Participant’s

19

 

lifetime, of Awards to (x)
members of a Participant’s immediate family or to trusts, family partnerships or similar entities
for the benefit of such immediate family members (such term meaning the Participant’s spouse,
parent, child, stepchild, grandchild and the spouses of such family members) and (y) charitable
institutions. However, Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan shall not be transferable in
any way that would violate applicable Treasury Regulations and in no event may any Award (or any
rights and obligations under the Award) be transferred in
any way in exchange for value. All terms of the Plan and all Award Agreements shall be
binding upon any permitted successors and assigns.

     Section 14.4 Other Laws; Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. The Committee may refuse
to issue or transfer any Shares or other consideration under an Award if, acting in its discretion,
it determines that the issuance or transfer of such Shares or such other consideration might
violate any applicable law, rule or regulation or entitle the Company to recover a Participant’s
profits under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, and any payment tendered to the Company by a
Participant, other holder or beneficiary in connection with the exercise of such Award shall be
promptly refunded to the relevant Participant, holder or beneficiary. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, no Award granted under the Plan shall be construed as an offer to sell
securities of the Company, and no such offer shall be outstanding, unless and until the Committee
in its discretion has determined that any such offer, if made, would be in compliance with all
applicable requirements of federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations.

     Section 14.5 No Rights to Awards. No Participant or other Person shall have any claim
to be granted any Award, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants or
holders or beneficiaries of Awards. The terms of Awards and the Committee’s determinations and
interpretations with respect to Awards need not be the same with respect to each Participant and
may be made selectively among Participants, whether or not such Participants are similarly
situated.

     Section 14.6 No Right to Employment. The grant of an Award shall not be construed as
giving a Participant the right to be retained as a director, officer, employee or consultant of or
to the Company or any Affiliate. Furthermore, the Company or an Affiliate may at any time dismiss
a Participant from employment or discontinue any directorship or consulting relationship, free from
any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the applicable
Award Agreement.

     Section 14.7 Rights as a Shareholder. No Participant or holder or beneficiary of any
Award shall have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares to be distributed under the
Plan until he or she has become the holder of such Shares. In connection with each grant of
Restricted Shares, except as provided in the applicable Award Agreement, the Participant shall be
entitled to the rights of a shareholder (including the right to vote) in respect of such Restricted
Shares. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.2 or the applicable Award Agreement, no
adjustments shall be made for dividends or distributions on (whether ordinary or extraordinary, and
whether in cash, Shares, other securities or other property), or other events relating to, Shares
subject to an Award for which the record date is prior to the date such Shares are delivered.

20

 

     Section 14.8 No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or
be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the
Company or any Affiliate, on the one hand, and a Participant or any other Person, on the other. To
the extent that any Person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company or any Affiliate
pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general
creditor of the Company or such Affiliate.

     Section 14.9 No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered
pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash, other securities
or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Shares or whether such
fractional Shares or any rights to fractional Shares shall be canceled, terminated or otherwise
eliminated.

     Section 14.10 No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements. Except as provided in
Section 1.4, nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any Affiliate from adopting
or continuing in effect other compensation arrangements, which may, but need not, provide for the
grant of options, restricted stock, shares, other types of equity-based awards and cash incentive
awards (subject to shareholder approval if such approval is required), and such arrangements may be
either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

     Section 14.11 Recoupment of Awards.

          (a) If, due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting
requirement of the United States securities laws, rules and regulations, the Company is required to
prepare an accounting restatement of its financial statements, the Company shall take the following
actions with respect to each Award that was granted under the Plan during the three-year period
preceding the date on which the Company becomes required to prepare such restatement, regardless as
to whether such restatement is attributable to any Participant’s or other Person’s negligence,
fraud or other misconduct:

               (i) If an Award is unpaid, unvested or unexercised, the Company shall cancel all or a portion
of the Award, if and to the extent that the Committee determines that the Award to the Participant
was based upon erroneous data contained in the Company’s financial statements and was in excess of
the Award that the Participant would have received based upon the Company’s restated financial
statements;

               (ii) If any Shares have been issued by the Company to the Participant under the Award and have
vested, the Participant shall be required to transfer to the Company, for no consideration, all or
a portion of such Shares or a cash amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the
date of the restated financial statements, if and to the extent that the Committee determines that
the Award of such Shares received by the Participant was based upon erroneous data contained in the
Company’s financial statements and was in excess of the Shares that the Participant would have
received based upon the Company’s restated financial statements; and

               (iii) If an Award has been paid in cash by the Company to the Participant under the Award, the
Participant shall be required to return to the Company, for no

21

 

consideration, all or a portion of
such cash, if and to the extent that the Committee determines that the Award of such cash payment
received by the Participant was based upon erroneous data contained in the Company’s financial
statements and was in excess of the cash payment that the Participant would have received based
upon the Company’s restated financial statements.

          (b) After taking into account any proposed or final rules and regulations that may be issued
by the SEC under Section 10D of the Exchange Act regarding the recovery of
erroneously awarded compensation, the Board shall have the discretion to adopt a written
policy that implements, interprets and enforces the Awards recoupment requirements set forth in
Section 14.11(a), and all Awards made under the Plan shall be subject to any such written policy
that is adopted by the Board. The Board is also authorized to amend any or all of the terms of
Section 14.11(a) following its review of such proposed or final SEC rules and regulations under
Section 10D of the Exchange Act.

          (c) An Award Agreement may include restrictive covenants, including non-competition,
non-disparagement and confidentiality conditions or restrictions, that the Participant must comply
with during employment by the Company or an Affiliate or for a specified period thereafter as a
condition to the Participant’s receipt or retention of all or any portion of an Award.

     Section 14.12 Withholding.

          (a) Authority to Withhold. A Participant may be required to pay to the Company or any
Affiliate, and the Company or any Affiliate shall have the right and is authorized to withhold from
any Award, from any payment due or transfer made under any Award or under the Plan or from any
compensation or other amount owing to a Participant, the amount (in cash, Shares, other securities,
other Awards or other property) of any applicable withholding taxes in respect of an Award, its
exercise or any payment or transfer under an Award or under the Plan and to take such other action
as may be necessary in the opinion of the Committee or the Company to satisfy all obligations for
the payment of such taxes.

          (b) Alternative Ways to Satisfy Withholding Liability. Without limiting the
generality of Section 14.12(a), subject to the Committee’s discretion, a Participant may satisfy,
in whole or in part, the foregoing withholding liability by delivery of Shares owned by the
Participant (which are not subject to any pledge or other security interest) having a Fair Market
Value equal to such withholding liability or by having the Company withhold from the number of
Shares otherwise issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Option or SAR, or the lapse of the
restrictions on any other Award (in the case of SARs and other Awards, if such SARs and other
Awards are settled in Shares), a number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to such
withholding liability.

     Section 14.13 Compliance with Section 409A of the Code.

          (a) It is intended that the provisions of the Plan shall comply with Section 409A of the Code,
and all provisions of the Plan shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with the
requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code.

22

 

          (b) No Participant or the creditors or beneficiaries of a Participant shall have the right to
subject any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) payable under
the Plan to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance,
attachment or garnishment. Except as permitted under Section 409A of the Code, any deferred
compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) payable to any Participant or for the
benefit of any Participant under the Plan may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount
owing by any such Participant to the Company or any of its Affiliates.

          (c) If, at the time of a Participant’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section
409A of the Code), (1) such Participant shall be a specified employee (within the meaning of
Section 409A of the Code and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time
to time) and (2) the Company shall make a good faith determination that an amount payable pursuant
to an Award constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) the
payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in
Section 409A of the Code in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code, then
the Company shall not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but shall instead pay
it on the first business day after such six-month period. Such amount shall be paid without
interest, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in its discretion, or as otherwise provided
in any applicable employment agreement between the Company and the relevant Participant.

          (d) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in light of the uncertainty
with respect to the proper application of Section 409A of the Code, the Committee reserves the
right to make amendments to any Award as the Committee deems necessary or desirable to avoid the
imposition of taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code. In any case, a Participant shall
be solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be
imposed on such Participant or for such Participant’s account in connection with an Award
(including any taxes and penalties under Section 409A of the Code), and neither the Company nor any
of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold such Participant
harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties.

     Section 14.14 Severability; Successor Statutes.

          (a) If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the
Plan or any Award under any law, rule or regulation deemed applicable by the Committee, such
provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable law, rule or
regulation, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the
Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be
construed or deemed stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person or Award and the remainder of the Plan
and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

          (b) References in the Plan to specific sections of, or rules or regulations under, the Code,
the Exchange Act or any other statute include such sections, rules and regulations as they may be
amended after the Effective Date and include any successor provisions to such cited sections, rules
and regulations.

23

 

     Section 14.15 Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan and
any rules and regulations relating to the Plan and any Award Agreement shall be determined in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of California, without giving effect to the conflict
of laws provisions of the State of California.

ARTICLE II

The Securities

          SECTION 2.01. Form and Dating. The Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, which is incorporated in
and forms a part of this Indenture. The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements
required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Security shall be dated the date of its
authentication.

          Securities offered and sold in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act shall be issued
initially in the form of one or more Global Securities, substantially in the form set forth in
Exhibit A (each, a “Global Security”), deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the
Depositary, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided
and bearing the legends set forth in Exhibits B-1 and B-2. The aggregate principal amount of the
Global Securities may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the
records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, as hereinafter provided; provided that,
subject to the Company’s right to issue additional Securities pursuant to Section 2.18, in no event
shall the aggregate principal amount of the Global Security or Securities exceed $400,000,000.

          Securities issued in exchange for interests in a Global Security pursuant to Section 2.15 may
be issued in the form of permanent certificated Securities in registered form in substantially the
form set forth in Exhibit A (the “Physical Securities”) and, if applicable, bearing any
legends required by Section 2.17.

          SECTION 2.02. Execution and Authentication. One Officer shall sign the Securities for
the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

          If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the
Security is authenticated, the Security shall nevertheless be valid.

7

 

          A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The
signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this
Indenture.

          Upon a written order of the Company signed by one Officer of the Company, the Trustee shall
authenticate Securities for original issue in the aggregate principal amount of
$400,000,000 and such additional principal amount, if any, as shall be determined pursuant to
the next sentence of this Section 2.02. Upon receipt by the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate
stating that the Company has elected to issue additional Securities pursuant to Section 2.18, the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the principal amount of additional Securities specified in
such Officer’s Certificate to or upon the written order of the Company signed as provided in the
immediately preceding sentence. Such Officers’ Certificate must be received by the Trustee not
later than the proposed date for delivery of such additional Securities. The aggregate principal
amount of Securities outstanding at any time and which may be authenticated under this Indenture is
unlimited.

          The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate
Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so.
Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such
agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company and its
Affiliates.

          If a written order of the Company pursuant to this Section 2.02 of the Indenture has been, or
simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Company to the Trustee with respect to
endorsement, delivery or redelivery of a Security previously issued in global form shall be in
writing but need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

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

          SECTION 2.03. Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent. The Company shall
maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for
exchange (“Registrar”), an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment
(“Paying Agent”) and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for conversion
(“Conversion Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their
transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint or change one or more co-registrars, one or more
additional paying agents and one or more additional conversion agents without notice and may act in
any such capacity on its own behalf. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar; the term
“Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent; and the term “Conversion Agent” includes any
additional conversion agent.

          The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to
this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such
Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and address of any Agent not a party to
this Indenture. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent,
the Trustee shall act as such.

8

 

          The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Paying Agent, Registrar and Conversion Agent.

          SECTION 2.04. Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust. Each Paying Agent shall hold in
trust for the benefit of the Securityholders or the Trustee all moneys held by the Paying Agent for
the payment of the Securities, and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making
any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay
all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all
money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent shall have no
further liability for the money. If the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold
as a separate trust fund all money held by it as Paying Agent.

          SECTION 2.05. Securityholder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form
as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of
Securityholders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee on
or before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing
a list, in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and
addresses of Securityholders.

          SECTION 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. Subject to Sections 2.15 and 2.16 hereof, where
Securities are presented to the Registrar with a request to register their transfer or to exchange
them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other authorized denominations, the Registrar
shall register the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements for such transaction are met.
To permit registrations of transfer and exchanges, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the
Registrar’s request.

          No service charge shall be made for any transfer, exchange or conversion of Securities, but
the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
that may be imposed in connection with any transfer, exchange or conversion of Securities, other
than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.10, 3.01, 9.05 or 10.02 not involving any transfer.

          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 Security other than to require delivery of such certificates
and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when
expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine
substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

          SECTION 2.07. Replacement Securities. If the Holder of a Security claims that the
Security has been mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the
Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security if the Trustee’s requirements are met and, in the
case of a mutilated Security, such mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee. In the case
of lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Securities, if required by the Trustee, an
indemnity bond must be provided by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the
Trustee

9

 

to protect the Company, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer
if a Security is replaced. The Trustee may charge for its expenses in replacing a Security.

          In case any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Security has become or is
about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new
Security, pay such Security when due.

          Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company only as provided in
Section 2.08.

          SECTION 2.08. Outstanding Securities. Securities outstanding at any time are all the
Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those converted, those cancelled by it, those
delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding.
Except to the extent provided in Section 2.09, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because
the Company or one of its subsidiaries or Affiliates holds the Security.

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

          If the Paying Agent (other than the Company) holds on a Change in Control Repurchase Date or
the Maturity Date money sufficient to pay Securities payable on that date, then on and after that
date, such Securities shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and interest on them shall cease
to accrue, and such Security shall be deemed paid whether or not the Security is delivered to the
Paying Agent. Thereafter, all other rights of the Holders of such Securities shall terminate with
respect to such Securities, other than the right to receive the Repurchase Price or principal
amount, as applicable, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

          SECTION 2.09. Securities Held by the Company or an Affiliate. In determining whether
the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of Securities have concurred in any
direction, waiver or consent, Securities owned by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or an
Affiliate shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of
determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or
consent, only Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so
disregarded.

          SECTION 2.10. Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities are ready for
delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities.
Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have
variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without
unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive
Securities in exchange for temporary Securities.

          SECTION 2.11. Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the
Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent shall forward to the
Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for transfer, exchange, payment or conversion. The
Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment, conversion or
cancellation in accordance with its customary procedures. Subject to Section 2.18, the

10

 

Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to
the Trustee for cancellation or that any Securityholder has converted pursuant to Article X.

          SECTION 2.12. Defaulted Interest. If and to the extent the Company defaults in a
payment of interest on the Securities, the Company shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful
manner plus, to the extent not prohibited by applicable statute or case law, interest payable on
the defaulted interest at the rate provided in the Securities. The Company may pay the defaulted
interest to the persons who are Securityholders on a subsequent special record date. The Company
shall fix such record date and payment date. At least 15 days before the record date, the Company
shall mail to Securityholders a notice that states the record date, payment date and amount of
interest to be paid.

          SECTION 2.13. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use one or
more “CUSIP” numbers, and if so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP numbers in notices of exchange as
a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that no representation is hereby deemed to be made by
the Trustee as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP numbers printed in the notice or on the
Securities, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the
Securities. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

          SECTION 2.14. Deposit of Moneys. Prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on each
interest payment date, Maturity Date and Change in Control Repurchase Date, the Company shall
deposit with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds money sufficient to make Cash
payments, if any, due on such interest payment date, Maturity Date and Change in Control Repurchase
Date, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits the Paying Agent to remit payment to the
Holders on such interest payment date, Maturity Date and Change in Control Repurchase Date, as the
case may be.

          SECTION 2.15. Book-Entry Provisions for Global Securities. The Global Securities
initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of such Depositary,
(ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depositary and (iii) bear legends as set
forth in Section 2.17.

          (a) Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Participants”) shall have no
rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security, and the Depositary may be treated
by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of
the Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein
shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving
effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or
impair, as between the Depositary and Participants, the operation of customary practices governing
the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Security.

          (b) Transfers of Global Securities shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to
the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Physical Securities shall be issued to
all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in Global Securities only if (i)
the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for
any Global Security and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90

11

 

days of such notice or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the
Registrar has received a written request from the Depositary to issue Physical Securities.

          (c) In connection with the transfer of a Global Security in its entirety to beneficial owners
pursuant to Section 2.15(b), such Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee
for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall upon written instructions
from the Company authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in
exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount
of Physical Securities of authorized denominations.

          (d) Any Physical Security constituting a Restricted Security delivered in exchange for an
interest in a Global Security pursuant to Section 2.15(b) shall, except as otherwise provided by
Section 2.16, bear the Private Placement Legend.

          (e) The Holder of any Global Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any person,
including Participants and persons that may hold interests through Participants, to take any action
which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities.

          SECTION 2.16. Special Transfer Provisions; Transfers to QIBs. The Registrar shall
register the transfer of any Restricted Security, whether or not such Security bears the Private
Placement Legend, if (x) the requested transfer is after the later of the first anniversary after
(i) the issue date for the Securities and (ii) the last date on which the Company or any Affiliate
of the Company was the owner of such Security (or any predecessor security) (or such shorter period
of time as permitted by Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any successor provision thereunder)
(or such longer period of time as may be required under the Securities Act or applicable state
securities laws in the opinion of counsel for the Company, unless otherwise agreed between the
Company and the Holder thereof) (such later date being the “Resale Restriction Termination
Date”), or (y) such transfer is being made by a proposed transferor who has checked the box
provided for on the form of Security stating, or has otherwise advised the Company and the
Registrar in writing, that the sale has been made in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144A to
a transferee who has signed the certification provided for on the form of Security stating, or has
otherwise advised the Company and the Registrar in writing, that it is purchasing the Security for
its own account or an account with respect to which it exercises sole investment discretion and
that it and any such account is a QIB within the meaning of Rule 144A, and is aware that the sale
to it is being made in reliance on Rule 144A and acknowledges that it has received such information
regarding the Company as it has requested pursuant to Rule 144A or has determined not to request
such information and that it is aware that the transferor is relying upon its foregoing
representations in order to claim the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A.

          (a) Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities. Notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Indenture, a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole 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.

12

 

          (b) Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of
Securities not bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver Securities that do
not bear the Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities
bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Securities that bear the
Private Placement Legend until (A) after the first anniversary of the later of (i) the issue date
for the Securities, (ii) the last date on which the Company or any Affiliate of the Company was the
owner of such Security (or any predecessor security) (or such shorter period of time as permitted
by Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any successor provision thereunder) (or such longer period
of time as may be required under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws in the
opinion of counsel for the Company, unless otherwise agreed between the Company and the Holder
thereof), or (B) there is delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the Company to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are
required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act.

          (c) General. By its acceptance of any Security bearing the Private Placement Legend,
each Holder of such Security acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Security set forth
in this Indenture and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it will transfer such
Security only as provided in this Indenture.

          The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications
received pursuant to Section 2.15 or this Section 2.16. The Company shall have the right to
inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any
reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Registrar.

          (d) Transfers of Securities Held by Affiliates. Any certificate (i) evidencing a
Security that has been transferred to an Affiliate of the Company within one year after the issue
date for the Securities, as evidenced by a notation on the Assignment Form for such transfer or in
the representation letter delivered in respect thereof or (ii) evidencing a Security that has been
acquired from an Affiliate (other than by an Affiliate) in a transaction or a chain of transactions
not involving any public offering, shall, until one year after the last date on which the Company
or any Affiliate of the Company was an owner of such Security, in each case, bear the Private
Placement Legend, unless otherwise agreed by the Company (with written notice thereof to the
Trustee).

          SECTION 2.17. Restrictive Legends. Each Global Security and Physical Security that
constitutes a Restricted Security shall bear the legend (the “Private Placement Legend”) as
set forth in Exhibit B-1 on the face thereof until after the first anniversary of the later of (i)
the issue date for the Securities, (ii) the last date on which the Company or any Affiliate of the
Company was the owner of such Security (or any predecessor security) (or such shorter period of
time as permitted by Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any successor provision thereunder) (or
such longer period of time as may be required under the Securities Act or applicable state
securities laws in the opinion of counsel for the Company, unless otherwise agreed between the
Company and the Holder thereof).

          Each Global Security shall also bear the “Global Security Legend” as set forth in
Exhibit B-2.

13

 

          SECTION 2.18. Additional Securities. The Company may, without the consent of the
Holders, and not withstanding Section 2.01 or 2.02, issue additional Securities in unlimited
principal amount having the same ranking, interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Securities
issued previously and then outstanding under this Indenture, except for any difference in the issue
price, legend removal provisions, additional interest provisions and interest accrued prior to the
issue date of the additional Securities. These additional Securities will, together with the
Securities offered under this Indenture, constitute a single series of Securities under this
Indenture. Holders of any such additional Securities will have the right to vote together with
Holders of Securities issued previously and then outstanding under this Indenture as one class.

ARTICLE III

Repurchase Upon Change of Control

          SECTION 3.01. Repurchase Upon a Change in Control. Upon any Change in Control (as
defined below) with respect to the Company, each Holder shall have the right (the “Change in
Control Repurchase Right”), at the Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase all of
such Holder’s Securities, or a portion thereof which is $1,000 in principal amount or any positive
integral multiple thereof, on the date (the “Change in Control Repurchase Date”) that is 30
business days after the date of the Change in Control Notice (as defined below) at the Repurchase
Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the Change in Control
Repurchase Date. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to the repurchase of Securities pursuant
to this Section 3.01 of all of a Security also apply to the repurchase of such portion of such
Security.

          At the option of the Company, all or a specified percentage of the Repurchase Price of
Securities in respect of which a Change in Control Notice pursuant to this Section 3.01 has been
given may be paid by the Company by the issuance of a number of shares of Common Stock or, in the
case of a merger in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, common stock, depositary
receipts or other certificates representing common equity interests of the surviving corporation or
its direct or indirect parent (which shall be considered Common Stock for purposes of this Section
3.01), equal to, per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, the quotient obtained by dividing (i)
$1,000 minus the amount of the Repurchase Price the Company has elected to pay in Cash by (ii) the
product of (A) the Market Price (as defined below) of the Common Stock, subject to the next
succeeding paragraph, and (B) 0.95.

          The Company will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock in payment of the Repurchase
Price in connection with the exercise of any Change in Control Repurchase Right. Instead the
Company will pay Cash based on the Market Price for all fractional shares. The Market Price of a
fractional share shall be determined to the nearest 1/1,000th of a share, by multiplying the
applicable Market Price of a full share by the fractional amount and rounding to the nearest whole
cent. It is understood that if a Holder elects to have more than one Security repurchased, the
number of shares of Common Stock shall be based on the aggregate principal amount of Securities to
be repurchased.

          In the event that the Company is unable to purchase the Securities of a Holder or Holders for
Common Stock because any necessary qualifications or registrations of the Common

14

 

Stock under
applicable state securities laws cannot be obtained, the Company may purchase the Securities of
such Holder or Holders for Cash. The Company may not change its election with respect to the
consideration to be paid once the Company has given its Change in Control Notice to Securityholders
except pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence in the event of a failure to satisfy, prior
to the close of business on the Change in Control Repurchase Date, any condition to the payment of
the Repurchase Price in shares of Common Stock.

          At least three business days before the date of the Change in Control Notice (as defined
below), the Company shall deliver an Officers’ Certificate to the Trustee specifying:

     (a) the manner of payment selected by the Company;

     (b) the information required to be included in the Change in Control Notice;

     (c) if the Company elects to pay all or a specified percentage of the Repurchase Price
in shares of Common Stock, that the conditions to such manner of payment set forth in this
Section 3.01 have been or will be complied with; and

     (d) whether the Company desires the Trustee to give the Change in Control Notice
required by this Section 3.01.

          The Company’s right to exercise its election to purchase Securities through the issuance of
Common Stock shall be conditioned upon:

     (a) the Company’s giving of timely Change in Control Notice to purchase Securities with
Common Stock as provided herein;

     (b) the registration of such Common Stock under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act,
in each case, if required;

     (c) such Common Stock having been quoted or listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market
or other principal U.S. exchange or quotation system on which the shares of Common Stock are
then listed, or if the Common Stock is not so quoted or listed then on the principal other
market on which the Common Stock are then traded;

     (d) any necessary qualification or registration under applicable state securities laws
or the availability of an exemption from such qualification and registration; and

     (e) the receipt by the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel
each stating that (A) the terms of the issuance of the Common Stock are in conformity with
this Indenture and (B) the shares of Common Stock to be issued by the Company in payment of
all or a specified percentage of the Repurchase Price in respect of Securities have been
duly authorized and, when issued and delivered pursuant to the terms of this Indenture in
payment of all or a specified percentage of the Repurchase Price in respect of the
Securities, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and,
to the best of such counsel’s knowledge, free from preemptive rights, and, (a) in the
case of such Officers’ Certificate, stating that the conditions above and the condition set
forth

15

 

in the second succeeding sentence have been satisfied and, (b) in the case of such
Opinion of Counsel, stating that the conditions above have been satisfied.

          Such Officers’ Certificate shall also set forth (i) the number of shares of Common Stock to be
issued for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities, (ii) the Closing Sale Price on each Trading
Day during the period during which the Market Price is calculated and (iii) the Market Price of the
Common Stock. The Company may pay the Repurchase Price in Common Stock only if the information
necessary to calculate the Market Price is published in a daily newspaper of national circulation
or is otherwise publicly available or obtainable (e.g., by dissemination on the World Wide Web or
by other public means). If the foregoing conditions are not satisfied with respect to a Holder or
Holders prior to the close of business on the Change in Control Repurchase Date and the Company has
elected to purchase the Securities pursuant to this Section 3.01 through the issuance of Common
Stock, the Company shall pay the entire Repurchase Price of the Securities of such Holder or
Holders in Cash.

          All shares of Common Stock delivered upon purchase of the Securities shall be newly issued
shares or treasury shares, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable,
and shall be free from preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim.

          Within 30 days after the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company, the Company shall
mail to all Holders of record of the Securities a notice (the “Change in Control Notice”)
of the occurrence of such Change in Control and the Change in Control Repurchase Right arising as a
result thereof. The Company shall deliver a copy of the Change in Control Notice to the Trustee
and shall disseminate a copy via a press release through Dow Jones & Company, Inc. or Bloomberg
Business News or other similarly broad public medium that is customary for such press releases.

          Each Change in Control Notice shall state:

     (a) the events causing the Change in Control;

     (b) the date of such Change in Control;

     (c) the Change in Control Repurchase Date;

     (d) the date by which the Change in Control Repurchase Right must be exercised;

     (e) the Repurchase Price, plus the amount of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to be
paid on the Securities to be repurchased;

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

     (g) a description of the procedure which a Holder must follow to exercise a Change in
Control Repurchase Right and a brief description of those rights;

     (h) that, in order to exercise the Change in Control Repurchase Right, the Securities
are to be surrendered for payment of the Repurchase Price;

16

 

     (i) that Securities as to which a Change in Control Notice has been given may be
converted only in accordance with Article X hereof and Paragraph 7 of the Securities if the
applicable Option of Holder to Elect Repurchase Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with
the terms of this Indenture;

     (j) that the Repurchase Price for and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on any
Security as to which an Option of Holder to Elect Repurchase Notice has been given and not
withdrawn, shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 3.01 only if the Security so delivered
to the Paying Agent shall conform in all respects to the description thereof in the related
Change in Control Notice, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion;

     (k) the procedures for withdrawing an Option of Holder to Elect Repurchase Notice (as
specified in Section 3.02);

     (l) the then existing conversion rate, and any adjustment to the conversion rate that
will result from the Change in Control;

     (m) the place or places where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion;

     (n) that, unless the Company defaults in making payment on Securities for which a
Change in Control Notice has been submitted, interest, if any, on such Securities will cease
to accrue on the Change in Control Repurchase Date;

     (o) that all rights of the Holders of such Securities shall terminate with respect to
such Securities on the Change in Control Repurchase Date, other than the right to receive
the Repurchase Price upon delivery of the Securities to be purchased;

     (p) the CUSIP number of the Securities; and

     (q) whether the Repurchase Price will be paid in Cash, Common Stock or a combination of
both and, if both, the percentage thereof; provided, however, if the Company elects to pay
all or a portion of the Repurchase Price in Common Stock, such Change in Control Notice
shall also:

	 	(X)	 	state that each Holder will receive shares of Common Stock with
a Market Price determined as of a specified date prior to the Change in Control
Repurchase Date equal to such specified percentage of the Repurchase Price of
the Securities held by such Holder (except any cash amount to be paid in lieu
of fractional shares);
	 
	 	(Y)	 	describe the method of calculating the Market Price of the
Common Stock; and
	 
	 	(Z)	 	state that because the Market Price of Common Stock will be
determined prior to the Change in Control Repurchase Date, Holders of the
Securities will bear the market risk with respect to the value of the Common
Stock to

17

 

be received from the date such Market Price is determined to the
Change in Control Repurchase Date.

          The “Market Price” means the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock
for the five consecutive Trading Days ending on the third Trading Day prior to the applicable
Change in Control Repurchase Date, appropriately adjusted to take into account the occurrence,
during the period commencing on the first of the Trading Days during the five Trading Day period
and ending on the Change in Control Repurchase Date, of any event described in Section 10.06.

          No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notice shall limit any Holder’s right to
exercise a Change in Control Repurchase Right.

          To exercise a Change in Control Repurchase Right, a Holder shall deliver to the Trustee, or to
a Paying Agent designated by the Company for such purpose in the Change in Control Notice, on or
before the close of business on the 30th day after the date of the Change in Control
Notice, (i) irrevocable written notice in the form of the Option of Holder to Elect Repurchase
Notice on the back of the Securities with respect to which the Change in Control Repurchase Right
is being exercised, or any other form of written notice substantially similar to the Option of
Holder to Elect Repurchase Notice, in each case, duly completed and signed, with appropriate
signature guarantee, and (ii) such Securities with respect to which the Change in Control
Repurchase Right is being exercised, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company, and the Holder of
such Securities shall be entitled to receive from the Company (if it is acting as its own Paying
Agent), or such Paying Agent a nontransferable receipt of deposit evidencing such deposit.

          In the event a Change in Control Repurchase Right shall be exercised in accordance with the
terms hereof, the Company shall, on or prior to a Change in Control Repurchase Date, deposit Cash
in respect of the Cash portion of a repurchase under this Section 3.01 or for fractional shares of
Common Stock, as applicable, plus Cash sufficient to pay accrued and unpaid interest, if any, with
respect to all Securities to be purchased pursuant to this Section 3.01. On the Trading Day
following the Change in Control Repurchase Date, the Company shall deliver to each Holder entitled
to receive Common Stock the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of the
Repurchase Price. The person in whose name the certificate for shares of Common Stock is
registered shall be treated as a holder of record of Common Stock on the business day following the
Change in Control Repurchase Date. No payment or adjustment will be made for dividends on the
shares of Common Stock the record date for which occurred on or prior to the Change in Control
Repurchase Date.

          If a Holder of a repurchased Security is paid in Common Stock pursuant to this Section 3.01,
the Company shall pay all stamp and other duties, if any, which may be imposed by the United States
or any political subdivision thereof or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to the
issuance of shares of Common Stock. However, the Holder shall pay any
such tax which is due because the Holder requests the shares of Common Stock to be issued in a
name other than the Holder’s name. The Trustee or any Paying Agent may refuse to deliver the
certificates representing the Common Stock issued in a name other than the Holder’s name until the
Trustee or any such Paying Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax which shall be due

18

 

because the shares are to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name. Nothing herein shall
preclude any withholding tax required by law.

          As used in this Section 3.01 and in the Securities:

          A “Change in Control” of the Company shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as:

     (a) any person acquires beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, through a
purchase, merger or other acquisition transaction or series of transactions, of shares of
the Company’s capital stock entitling the person to exercise 50% or more of the total voting
power of all shares of the Company’s capital stock that are entitled to vote generally in
elections of directors, other than an acquisition by the Company, any of its subsidiaries or
any of its employee benefit plans; or

     (b) the conveyance, sale, transfer or lease by the Company of all or substantially all
of its assets to another person.

          However, a Change in Control will not be deemed to have occurred for the purposes of this
Section 3.01 if:

	 	(X)	 	the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock for any five Trading
Days within the period of ten consecutive Trading Days ending immediately after
the later of the Change in Control or the public announcement of the Change in
Control, in the case of a Change in Control relating to an acquisition of
capital stock, or the period of ten consecutive Trading Days ending immediately
before the Change in Control, in the case of a Change in Control relating to a
merger, consolidation or asset sale, equals or exceeds 105% of the Conversion
Price of the Securities in effect on each of those five Trading Days; or
	 
	 	(Y)	 	either all or substantially all (but in no event less than 90%)
of the consideration, excluding Cash payments for fractional shares of Common
Stock and Cash payments made pursuant to dissenters’ appraisal rights, in a
merger or consolidation otherwise constituting a Change in Control in the
preceding paragraph (X) consists of shares of common stock, depositary receipts
or other certificates representing common equity interests that are traded on
the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market or the New York Stock
Exchange or will be so traded immediately following such merger or
consolidation, and as a result of such merger or consolidation the Securities
become convertible solely into such consideration or the Company has elected to
cause the Securities to
be convertible solely into Acquirer Common Stock in accordance with Section
10.05(d) or the Securities will otherwise become convertible into Reference
Property at least 90% of which shall consist of shares of common stock,
depositary receipts or other certificates representing common equity
interests that are traded on the Nasdaq Global Market, the

19

 

	 	 	 	Nasdaq Global
Select Market or the New York Stock Exchange as described in this
subparagraph (Y) in accordance with Section 10.13(b).

          For purposes of this “Change in Control” definition:

     (1) whether a person is a “beneficial owner” will be determined in accordance
with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act; and

     (2) a “person” includes any syndicate or group that would be deemed to be a
person under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.

          SECTION 3.02. Effect of Change in Control Repurchase Notice. Upon receipt by the
Paying Agent, or the Trustee, as applicable, of a Holder’s Option of Holder to Elect Repurchase
Notice in accordance with Section 3.01, the Holder of the Security in respect of which such notice
was given shall (unless such notice is withdrawn as specified in the following two paragraphs)
thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Repurchase Price, together with all accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, thereon, to but not including the Change in Control Repurchase Date, with respect
to such Security. Securities in respect of which a repurchase notice has been given by the Holder
thereof may not be converted pursuant to Article X hereof on or after the date of the delivery of
such notice unless such notice has first been validly withdrawn as specified in the following
paragraph.

          With respect to any Security which is to be submitted for repurchase only in part pursuant to
Section 3.01 (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), the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Security without
charge, a new Security or Securities of the same tenor and in aggregate principal amount equal to
the portion of such Security not submitted for repurchase thereunder.

          A Holder’s Option of Holder to Elect Repurchase Notice specified in Section 3.01 may be
withdrawn by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the office of the Paying Agent at
any time prior to the close of business on the second business day prior to the Change in Control
Repurchase Date, specifying:

     (a) the certificate or CUSIP number, as applicable, of the Security in respect of which
such notice of withdrawal is being submitted;

     (b) the aggregate principal amount of the Security with respect to which such notice of
withdrawal is being submitted; and

     (c) the aggregate principal amount, if any, of such Security which remains subject to
the original Option of Holder to Elect Repurchase Notice and which has been or will be
delivered for purchase by the Company.

          The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt of any repurchase notice
specified in Section 3.01 or written notice of withdrawal thereof.

20

 

          SECTION 3.03. Covenant to Comply With Securities Laws Upon Purchase of Securities.
When complying with the provisions of Section 3.01 hereof (provided that such offer or purchase
constitutes an “issuer tender offer” for purposes of Rule 13e-4 (which term, as used herein,
includes any successor provision thereto) under the Exchange Act at the time of such offer or
purchase), the Company shall (i) comply with the applicable provisions of Rule 13e-4 and Rule 14e-1
(or any successor provisions) under the Exchange Act, and any other tender offer rules under the
Exchange Act that may then apply, (ii) file the related Schedule TO (or any successor schedule,
form or report) under the Exchange Act, and (iii) otherwise comply with any applicable federal and
state securities laws so as to permit the rights and obligations under Section 3.01 to be exercised
in the time and in the manner specified in Section 3.01.

ARTICLE IV

Covenants

          SECTION 4.01. Payment of Securities. The Company shall pay all amounts due with
respect to the Securities on the dates and in the manner provided in the Securities. All such
amounts shall be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent holds (or, if the Company is
acting as Paying Agent, if the Company has segregated and holds in trust in accordance with Section
2.04) on that date money sufficient to pay the amount then due with respect to the Securities.

          The Company shall pay interest on any overdue amount (including, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, overdue interest) at the rate borne by the Securities.

          SECTION 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain in the
Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, an office or agency (which may be an office of the
Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee or Registrar) where Securities may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange or conversion and where notices and demands to or upon the
Company in respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give
prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such
office or agency. 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 of the Trustee.

          The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where
the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to
time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or
rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or
agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York for such purposes. The Company will give
prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the
location of any such other office or agency.

          The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as an agency of the
Company in accordance with Section 2.03.

21

 

          SECTION 4.03. Reports. At any time the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Exchange Act, the Company will, so long as any of the Securities are restricted securities
within the meaning of the Securities Act, upon request, provide to any Holder or beneficial owner
of Securities or prospective purchaser of Securities that so requests, the information required to
be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) of the Securities Act.

          (a) The Company will comply with the provisions of TIA § 314(a).

          (b) For so long as the Securities are outstanding, the Company shall file with the Trustee
within 15 days after the same are required to be filed with the SEC (giving effect to any grace
period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act) any documents or reports that the Company is
required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Documents filed
by the Company with the SEC via the EDGAR system will be deemed to be filed with the Trustee as of
the time such documents are filed via EDGAR.

          (c) Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational
purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any
information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the
Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to
rely exclusively on the Officers’ Certificate).

          SECTION 4.04. Compliance Certificate. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within
90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company an Officers’ Certificate stating whether
or not the signers know of any Default or Event of Default by the Company in performing any of its
obligations under this Indenture or the Securities. If they do know of any such Default or Event
of Default, the certificate shall describe the Default or Event of Default and its status.

          SECTION 4.05. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent
that it may lawfully do so) that it will 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 wherever
enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance
of this Indenture; and the Company (in each case, to the extent that 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 has
been enacted.

          SECTION 4.06. Corporate Existence. Subject to Article V, the Company will do or cause
to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate
existence and the corporate existence of each of its Significant Subsidiaries in accordance with
the respective organizational documents of each Significant Subsidiary and the rights (charter and
statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Significant Subsidiaries; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise,
or the
corporate existence of any Significant Subsidiary, if in the judgment of the Board of
Directors (i) such preservation or existence is not material to the conduct of business of the
Company and (ii) the loss of such right, license or franchise or the

22

 

dissolution of such
Significant Subsidiary does not have a material adverse impact on the Holders.

          SECTION 4.07. Notice of Default. In the event that any Default or Event of Default
shall occur, the Company will give prompt written notice of such Default or Event of Default to the
Trustee.

ARTICLE V

Successors

          SECTION 5.01. When Company May Merge, etc. The Company shall not consolidate with or
merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and
assets to, another person unless (x) the resulting, surviving or transferee person is a
corporation, limited liability company, partnership or trust organized under the laws of the United
States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or a corporation, limited liability company,
partnership or trust or comparable legal entity organized under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction
and whose equity securities (or whose direct parent company’s equity securities) are listed on a
national securities exchange in the United States prior to or upon giving effect to the transaction
(provided, however, that in the case of a transaction where the surviving entity is organized under
the laws of a foreign jurisdiction, the Company may not consummate the transaction without first
(i) making provision for the satisfaction of its obligations to repurchase the Securities following
a change in control, if any, (ii) amending the terms of the Securities to provide that, in the
event the Company is required under the laws of such foreign jurisdiction (or any political
subdivision thereof) to withhold or deduct amounts in respect of taxes from payments made to
Securityholders on the Securities, the Company will pay such additional amounts to the holders as
may be necessary so that each Securityholder will receive the same amounts it would have received
had no such withholding or deduction been required, provided that no additional amounts will be
payable with respect to any Security for (1) any taxes imposed by reason of any present or former
connection between a Securityholder and any political organization or governmental authority
thereof or therein having power to tax other than the mere purchase, holding or disposition of any
Security, including, without limitation, such Securityholder being or having been a citizen or
resident thereof or being or having been present or engaged in a trade or business therein or
having had a permanent establishment therein, (2) any taxes imposed by reason of a Securityholder’s
failure to comply with any certification, identification, documentation or other reporting
requirement if compliance is required by law, regulation, administrative practice or an applicable
treaty as a precondition to exemption from, or
a reduction in the rate of withholding of, such taxes (provided that the Company advise the
Trustee and the Securityholders of any change in such requirements), (3) any tax, assessment or
other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding from payment of (or in
respect of) principal of, premium, if any, or any interest on, the Securities, (4) estate,
inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property, value added or similar taxes or other
governmental charges, and (5) any taxes that the Board of Directors determines in good faith are
typically carved out of an issuer’s obligation to pay additional amounts with respect to payments
made on debt securities issued by corporations organized in such foreign jurisdiction as of the
time of the applicable transaction, (iii) obtaining an opinion of tax counsel experienced in such
matters to the effect that, under then existing United States federal income tax laws, there would

ARTICLE VI

Defaults and Remedies

          SECTION 6.01. Events of Default. An “Event of Default” occurs if:

     (a) the Company defaults in the payment of the principal amount or Repurchase Price
with respect to any Security when the same becomes due and payable, whether on the Maturity
Date, Change in Control Repurchase Date or otherwise;

     (b) the Company defaults in the payment of accrued and unpaid interest (including
Additional Interest), if any, on any Security when the same becomes due and payable and such
default continues for a period of 30 days;

     (c) the Company fails to comply with any of its other covenants in the Securities or
this Indenture and the default continues for the period and after the notice specified
below;

     (d) the Company fails to provide a Change in Control Notice in accordance with Section
3.01;

     (e) the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries defaults in the payment at the
final maturity thereof, after the expiration of any applicable grace period, of principal
of, or premium, if any, on indebtedness for money borrowed, other than Non-Recourse

24

 

Indebtedness, in the aggregate principal amount then outstanding of $30,000,000 or more, or
the acceleration of indebtedness for money borrowed in such aggregate principal amount,
other than Non-Recourse Indebtedness, so that it becomes due and payable prior to the date
on which it would otherwise become due and payable and such acceleration is not rescinded or
such default is not cured within 30 business days after notice to the Company in accordance
with this Indenture;

     (f) the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries pursuant to or within the
meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

          (i) commences a voluntary case,

          (ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,

          (iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all
of its property, or

          (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or

     (g) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy
Law that:

          (i) is for relief against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries in an
involuntary case or proceeding, or adjudicates the Company or any Significant Subsidiary
insolvent or bankrupt,

          (ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries for all
or substantially all of the property of the Company or any such Significant Subsidiary, as
the case may be, or

          (iii) orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company or any of its Significant
Subsidiaries, and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 consecutive
days.

          The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, U.S. Code or any similar federal or State
law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee,
liquidator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

          A default under Section 6.01(c) above is not an Event of Default until the Trustee or the
Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding notify the
Company and the Trustee of the default and the default is not cured within 60 days after receipt of
the notice. The notice must specify the default, demand that it be remedied and state that the
notice is a “Notice of Default.” If the Holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of
the outstanding Securities request the Trustee to give such notice on their behalf, the Trustee
shall do so. When a default is cured, it ceases.

25

 

          SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of
Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) with respect to the Company) as to which the Trustee
has received notice pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee by notice to the Company or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of
the Securities then outstanding by notice to the Company and the Trustee may declare the Securities
to be due and payable. Upon such declaration such principal and interest shall be due and payable
immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) with respect to the
Company occurs, the principal of and accrued interest on all the Securities shall ipso facto become
and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee
or any Securityholder. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities
then outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences
if the rescission would not conflict with any order or decree and if all existing Events of Default
have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely
because of the acceleration and if all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.07 have been
paid.

          SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies. (a) Notwithstanding Section 6.01 and Section 6.02, if
the Company so elects, the sole remedy during the first 360 days following an Event of Default
relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth under Section 4.03
will, after the occurrence of such an Event of Default, consist exclusively of the right to receive
Additional Interest on the Securities, as long as such default is continuing, at a rate equal to
(w) 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Securities outstanding during the first 90-day
period beginning on, and including, the occurrence of such an Event of Default, (x) 0.50% per annum
of the principal amount of the Securities outstanding during the 90-day period beginning on the
91st day after the occurrence of such Event of Default, (y) 0.75% per annum of the principal amount
of the Securities outstanding during the 90-day period beginning on the 181st day after the
occurrence of such Event of Default, and (z) 1.00% per annum of the principal amount of the
Securities outstanding during the 90-day period beginning on the 270th day after the occurrence of
such Event of Default. In no event will the rate of any such Additional Interest payable as
described in this Section 6.03 when taken together with Additional Interest payable as described
under Section 10.15, exceed a total rate of 1.00% per annum.

          (b) If the Company so elects, such Additional Interest will be payable in the same manner and
on the same dates as the stated interest payable on the Securities. On the 361st day after such
Event of Default (if the Event of Default relating to the obligations set forth under Section 4.03
is not cured or waived prior to such 361st day), the Securities will be subject to acceleration as
provided in Section 6.02. This Section 6.03 will not 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 the
Additional Interest following an Event of Default in accordance with Section 6.03(a), the
Securities will be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02.

          (c) In order to elect to pay the Additional Interest as the sole remedy during the first 360
days after the occurrence of an Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with Section
4.03, the Company must notify all Holders, the Trustee and the Paying Agent of such election prior
to the beginning of such 360-day period. Upon the Company’s failure to timely

26

 

give such notice, the Securities will be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in
Section 6.02.

          (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, if an Event of Default occurs and
is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to
collect the payment of amounts due with respect to the Securities or to enforce the performance of
any provision of the Securities or this Indenture provided that, if the Company makes the election
contemplated by clause (c), the sole remedy during the first 360 days following an Event of Default
relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth under Section 4.03
are set forth in Section 6.03(a), (b) and (c) of this Indenture.

          The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or
does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any
Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair
the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All
remedies are cumulative.

          SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Sections 6.07 and 9.02, the Holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by notice to the
Trustee may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences, except a default in
the payment of the principal amount, accrued and unpaid interest (including Additional Interest),
if any, any Repurchase Price or obligation to deliver Conversion Shares. When a Default or an
Event of Default is waived, it is cured and ceases for every purpose of this Indenture.

          SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities then outstanding may 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
it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this
Indenture, is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Securityholders or would involve the
Trustee in personal liability; provided that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by
the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

          SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits. Except as provided in Section 6.07, a
Securityholder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities only if:

     (a) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

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

     (c) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

     (d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the
request and the offer of indemnity; and

27

 

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

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

          SECTION 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of all amounts due with
respect to the Securities, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Securities, or to
bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be
impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to bring suit
for the enforcement of the right to convert the Security shall not be impaired or affected without
the consent of the Holder.

          SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section
6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount due with respect to the
Securities, including any unpaid and accrued interest (including Additional Interest), if any.

          SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of
claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of
the Trustee, any predecessor Trustee and the Securityholders allowed in any judicial proceedings
relative to the Company or its creditors or properties.

          The Trustee may collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any
such claims and to distribute the same, and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator,
sequestrator or similar official in any judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to
make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Holders, to pay the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any
other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.

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

          SECTION 6.10. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article
VI, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

          First: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07;

28

 

          Second: to Securityholders for all amounts due and unpaid on the Securities, without
preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities; and

          Third: to the Company.

          The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Company, may fix a record date and payment date
for any payment by it to Securityholders pursuant to this Section 6.10.

          SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or
remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by
it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit
other than the Trustee of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its
discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against
any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or
defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a
suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Securities.

ARTICLE VII

Trustee

          SECTION 7.01. Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

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

     (i) the Trustee need perform only those duties that 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 bad faith, willful misconduct or negligence 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 examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not
they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the
accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

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

29

 

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

     (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to
take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 6.05.

          (d) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to the
provisions of this Section 7.01.

          (e) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the
Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

          SECTION 7.02. Rights of Trustee. (a) Subject to Section 7.01, the Trustee may
conclusively rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented
by the proper person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document;
if, however, the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be
entitled during normal business hours to examine the relevant books, records and premises of the
Company, personally or by agent or attorney upon reasonable prior notice at the expense of the
Company and shall incur no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

          (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’ Certificate
and/or an Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to
take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

          (c) Any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced
by a Company Order and any resolution of the Board of Directors shall be sufficiently evidenced by
a Board Resolution.

          (d) The Trustee may consult with counsel 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 may act through agents or attorneys and shall not be responsible for the
misconduct or negligence of any agent or attorney appointed with due care.

          (f) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith
which it believes to be authorized or within its discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by
this Indenture.

          (g) Except with respect to Section 6.01, the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the
performance of the Company with respect to the covenants contained in Article IV. In addition, the
Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of an Event of Default except (1) any Default or
Event of Default occurring pursuant to Sections 6.01(a) and 6.01(b) or (2) any Default or Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee shall have received
written notification or obtained actual knowledge. Delivery of reports, information and

30

 

documents
to the Trustee under Article IV (other than Sections 4.04 and 4.07) is for informational purposes
only and the Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive notice of any
information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the
Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to
rely exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

          (h) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested 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.

          (i) 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.

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

          (k) 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.

          SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any
other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the
Company or any of its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any
Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee, however, must comply with Sections 7.10 and
7.11.

          SECTION 7.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee makes no representation as to the
validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities; it shall not be accountable for the
Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities; and it shall not be responsible for any
statement in the Securities other than its certificate of authentication.

          SECTION 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is
continuing as to which the Trustee has received notice pursuant to the provisions of this
Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder a notice of the Default or Event of
Default within 30 days after it occurs unless such Default or Event of Default has been cured or
waived. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of any amounts due with
respect to any Security, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good
faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Securityholders.

31

 

          SECTION 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after each May 15
beginning with May 15, 2011, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder if required by TIA §
313(a) a brief report dated as of such May 15 that complies with TIA § 313(c). In such event, the
Trustee also shall comply with TIA § 313(b).

          A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders shall be mailed to the
Company and filed by the Trustee with the SEC and each stock exchange, if any, on which the
Securities are listed. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Securities are
listed on any stock exchange.

          SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee from
time to time such compensation for its services as shall be agreed upon in writing. The Trustee’s
compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The
Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it.
Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and out-of-pocket expenses of the Trustee’s
agents and counsel.

          The Company shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or
expense (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and taxes other than those based
upon the income of the Trustee) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance or administration
of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the reasonable costs and
expenses of defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any Holder or any
other person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers and
duties hereunder. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any
claim for which it may seek indemnification. The Company need not reimburse any expense or
indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

          To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a
lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that
held in trust to pay amounts due on particular Securities.

          The indemnity obligations of the Company with respect to the Trustee provided for in this
Section 7.07 shall survive the termination of this Indenture and any resignation or removal of the
Trustee.

          When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in
Section 6.01(f) or (g) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to
constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

          SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and
appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s
acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.

          The Trustee may resign by so notifying the Company in writing 30 business days prior to such
resignation. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then
outstanding may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the

32

 

Company in writing and may
appoint a successor Trustee with the Company’s consent. The Company may remove the Trustee if:

     (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

     (b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent;

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

     (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

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

          If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns
or is removed, the retiring Trustee (at the Company’s expense), the Company or the Holders of at
least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

          If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

          A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring
Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall
become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the
Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to
Securityholders. The retiring Trustee shall upon payment of its charges promptly transfer all
property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in
Section 7.07.

          SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. If the Trustee consolidates with,
merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to,
another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor
Trustee, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible hereunder.

          SECTION 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. There shall at all times be a Trustee
hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise
corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100 million as set forth in
its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b).

          SECTION 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. The Trustee shall
comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA § 311(b). A Trustee
who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated.

ARTICLE VIII

Discharge of Indenture

          SECTION 8.01. Termination of the Obligations of the Company. The Company may
terminate all of its obligations under this Indenture if all Securities previously authenticated
and delivered (other than mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities which have been replaced
or paid as provided in Section 2.07) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or if:

     (a) the Securities mature within one year;

     (b) the Company irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee money or U.S. Government
Obligations sufficient to pay the principal of and any unpaid and accrued interest on the
Securities to maturity. Immediately after making the deposit, the Company shall give notice
of such event to the Securityholders;

     (c) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all sums then payable by the Company to
the Trustee hereunder as of the date of such deposit; and

     (d) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel and an Officers’
Certificate stating that all conditions precedent provided for herein relating to the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with. The Company may make
the deposit only during the one-year period.

However, the Company’s obligations in Sections 2.02, 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.15,
2.16, 2.17, 4.01, 4.02, 7.07, 7.08 and Article VIII and Article X shall survive until the
Securities are no longer outstanding. Thereafter the obligations of the Company in Sections 7.07
and 8.03 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.

          After a deposit pursuant to this Section 8.01, the Trustee upon request shall acknowledge in
writing the discharge of the obligations of the Company under the Securities and this Indenture,
except for those surviving obligations specified above.

          In order to have money available on a payment date to pay the principal of and any unpaid and
accrued interest on the Securities, the U.S. Government Obligations shall be payable as to
principal and any unpaid and accrued interest on or before such payment date in such amounts as
will provide the necessary money.

          “U.S. Government Obligations” means direct non-callable obligations of, or
non-callable obligations guaranteed by, the United States of America for the payment of which the
full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged.

          SECTION 8.02. Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold in trust money or
U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to Section 8.01. It shall apply the
deposited money and the money from U.S. Government Obligations through the Paying Agent and in
accordance with this Indenture to the payment of the principal of and any unpaid and accrued
interest on the Securities.

34

 

          SECTION 8.03. Repayment to Company. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly
notify the Company of, and pay to the Company upon the request of the Company, any excess money or
securities held by them at any time. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company
upon the written request of the Company any money held by them for the payment of the principal,
premium or Repurchase Price and any unpaid and accrued interest, if any, that remains unclaimed for
two years; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make
any such repayment, may, at the expense and request of the Company, cause to be published once in a
newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York or cause to be mailed to each Holder,
notice stating that such money remains and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be
less than 30 days from the date of such publication or mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money
then remaining will be repaid to the Company. After repayment to the Company, Securityholders
entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an
applicable abandoned property law designates another person and all liability of the Trustee and
the Paying Agent shall cease.

          SECTION 8.04. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any
money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Sections 8.01 and 8.02 by reason of any
legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority
enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the obligations of the Company
under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had
occurred pursuant to Sections 8.01 and 8.02 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is
permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Sections 8.01
and 8.02; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of amounts due with respect
to any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated
to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money or U.S.
Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

ARTICLE IX

Amendments

          SECTION 9.01. Without Consent of Holders. The Company, with the consent of the
Trustee, may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities without notice to or the consent
of any Securityholder:

     (a) to evidence a successor to the Company and the assumption by that successor of the
Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities;

     (b) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of the appointment under this Indenture
of a successor Trustee;

     (c) to add to the covenants of the Company described in this Indenture for the benefit
of Securityholders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company;

     (d) to secure the obligations of the Company in respect of the Securities;

35

 

     (e) to cure any ambiguity, inconsistency or other defect in this Indenture;

     (f) subject to Section 10.10, to increase the conversion rate;

     (g) to comply with Sections 5.01, 10.05 and 10.13;

     (h) to issue additional Securities pursuant to Section 2.18; or

     (i) to conform, as necessary, this Indenture and the form or terms of the Securities to
the description of the Securities set forth in the offering documents.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, no supplemental indenture pursuant to the foregoing clauses
(c), (d) or (e) may be entered into without the consent of the holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Securities if such supplemental indenture would materially and adversely affect the
interests of the Holders of the Securities.

          SECTION 9.02. With Consent of Holders. The Company, with the consent of the Trustee,
may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities without notice to any Securityholder but
with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Securities. Subject to Section 6.07, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding Securities may waive compliance by the Company with any provision of this
Indenture or the Securities without notice to any other Securityholder. However, without the
consent of each Securityholder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver
pursuant to Section 6.04, may not:

     (a) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest (including Additional
Interest), if any, on any Security;

     (b) make any Security payable in money or securities other than as stated in such
Security;

     (c) change the stated maturity of any Security;

     (d) reduce the principal amount or Repurchase Price of any Security;

     (e) make any change that adversely affects the right of a Holder to require the Company
to repurchase a Security in accordance with Article III;

     (f) make any change that adversely affects the right to convert or receive payment with
respect to, any Security or the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment
with respect to, or conversion of, any Security; or

     (g) reduce the amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment,
supplement or waiver.

          Promptly after an amendment under Section 9.01 and this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the
Company shall mail to Securityholders a notice briefly describing the amendment.

36

 

Any failure of
the Company to mail such notice shall not in any way impair or affect the validity of such
amendment, supplement or waiver.

          It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve
the particular form of any proposed amendment or supplement, but it shall be sufficient if such
consent approves the substance thereof.

          SECTION 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment, waiver or
supplement to this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

          SECTION 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment, supplement or
waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and
every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the
consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security.
However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Security or portion
of a Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment,
supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in
accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Securityholder.

          After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective with respect to the Securities, it
shall bind every Securityholder unless it makes a change described in Section 9.02(a) — (g). In
that case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has
consented to it and, provided that notice of such amendment, supplement or waiver is reflected on a
Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, every subsequent Holder
of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s
Security.

          SECTION 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Securities. If an amendment, supplement or
waiver changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Security to
deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security as
directed and prepared by the Company about the changed terms and return it to the Holder.
Alternatively, if the Company so determines, the Company in exchange for the Security shall issue
and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms.

          SECTION 9.06. Trustee Protected. The Trustee need not sign any amendment, supplement
or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article IX that adversely affects the Trustee’s rights,
duties, liabilities or immunities. The Trustee shall be provided with and may conclusively rely
upon an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate that any supplemental indenture, amendment
or waiver is permitted or authorized pursuant to the Indenture.

ARTICLE X

Conversion

          SECTION 10.01. Right to Convert; Restrictive Legend. Subject to the provisions of
this Article X, a Holder of a Security shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert
such Security into Common Stock at the conversion rate in effect at such time at any time prior

37

 

to
the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the Maturity Date by surrender of
the Security so to be converted in whole or in part, together with any required funds, in the
manner provided in Section 10.02. Initially, a Holder may convert such Security at a conversion
rate of 15.1220 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Security (such conversion
rate, as such may be adjusted as provided in this Indenture, the “conversion rate”)
(equivalent to a Conversion Price of approximately $66.13 per share).

          All Conversion Shares shall bear the Private Placement Legend until after the first
anniversary of the later of (i) the issue date for the Securities, (ii) the last date on which the
Company or any Affiliate of the Company was the owner of such shares or the Security (or any
predecessor security) from which such shares were converted (or such shorter period of time as
permitted by Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any successor provision thereunder) (or such
longer period of time as may be required under the Securities Act or applicable state securities
laws in the opinion of counsel for the Company, unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the
Holder thereof).

          SECTION 10.02. Conversion Procedure. To convert a Security, a Holder must satisfy the
requirements in Paragraph 7 of the Securities. The date on which the Holder satisfies all those
requirements is the “conversion date.” In accordance with Section 10.03, the Company shall
deliver to the Holder through the Trustee (who shall deliver to the Conversion Agent) a certificate
for, or a book-entry notation of, the Conversion Shares and Cash in lieu of any fractional share.
The person in whose name the certificate is registered shall be treated as a stockholder of record
on and after the conversion date.

          Except as described below, no payment or adjustment will be made for accrued interest on a
converted Security or for dividends or distributions on any shares of Common Stock issued on or
prior to conversion. Delivery by the Company to the Holder of the Security converted of the
Conversion Shares, at the conversion rate in effect at such time shall satisfy the obligations of
the Company to pay the principal amount of such Security being converted and the accrued but unpaid
interest on such Security through the conversion date; any such accrued but unpaid interest shall
be deemed to be paid in full rather than canceled, extinguished or forfeited. The conversion rate
in effect at any time will be adjusted only in accordance with Section 10.06 through 10.13; the
conversion rate will not be adjusted to account for accrued interest.

          If any Holder surrenders a Security for conversion after the close of business on the record
date for the payment of an installment of interest and prior to the opening of business on the next
succeeding interest payment date, then, notwithstanding such conversion, the interest, if any,
payable on such interest payment date shall be paid to the Holder of such Security on such record
date; provided, however, that such Security, when surrendered for conversion, must be accompanied
by payment to the Conversion Agent on behalf of the Company of an amount equal to the interest
payable on such interest payment date on the principal amount of notes being surrendered for
conversion; provided further however, that such payment to the Conversion Agent described in the
immediately preceding proviso shall not be required for conversions following the record date
immediately preceding the Maturity Date; if the Company has specified a Change in Control
Repurchase Date that is after a record date and on or prior to the corresponding interest payment
date; or to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of
conversion with respect to such Securities.

38

 

          If a Holder has delivered an Option of Holder to Elect Repurchase Notice pursuant to Section
3.01, the Holder may not surrender that Security for conversion until the Holder has withdrawn the
Option of Holder to Elect Repurchase Notice in accordance with Section 3.02. A Holder may convert
fewer than all of such holder’s Securities so long as the Securities converted are an integral
multiple of $1,000 principal amount.

          If a Holder converts more than one Security at the same time, the number of full shares
issuable upon the conversion shall be based on the total principal amount of the Securities
converted.

          Upon surrender of a Security that is converted in part the Trustee shall authenticate for the
Holder a new Security equal in principal amount to the unconverted portion of the Security
surrendered.

          If the last day on which a Security may be converted is a Legal Holiday in a place where a
Conversion Agent is located, the Security may be surrendered to that Conversion Agent on the next
succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday.

          SECTION 10.03. Settlement Upon Conversion . Upon conversion, the Company will satisfy
its entire conversion obligation by delivering to the Holders surrendering Securities for
conversion a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) the aggregate principal amount of
Securities to be converted divided by $1,000, multiplied by (ii) the applicable conversion rate
(the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the “Conversion
Shares”). The Company will deliver the Conversion Shares on the third business day immediately
following the relevant conversion date (provided that the Company will deliver Cash in lieu of
fractional shares in accordance with Section 10.07).

          SECTION 10.04. [Intentionally Omitted].

          SECTION 10.05. Make Whole Amount and Public Acquirer Change of Control. (a) If the
effective date (the “Effective Date”) or anticipated effective date (the “Anticipated
Effective Date”) of a transaction (a “Make Whole Change of Control”) that (1)
constitutes a
Change in Control (with the exclusions set forth in the sentence immediately following such
definition not taken into account for these purposes) and (2) pursuant to which (i) the outstanding
Common Stock is converted into, exchanged for or constitutes solely the right to receive Cash,
securities or other property and (ii) more than 10% of the consideration received in connection
with such transaction consists of Cash (excluding cash payments for fractional shares of the Common
Stock and cash payments made pursuant to dissenters’ appraisal rights), or of securities or other
property that are not, or upon issuance will not be, traded on the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq
Global Select Market or the New York Stock Exchange occurs on and a Holder surrenders its
Securities for conversion during the period commencing 20 days prior to the Anticipated Effective
Date of the Make Whole Change of Control and ending 20 days after the Effective Date of the Make
Whole Change of Control, the Company will increase the conversion rate for the Securities
surrendered for conversion during this period by a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the
“Additional Shares”) as set forth below. Delivery of such Additional Shares in respect of
any conversion prior to the applicable Effective Date shall be conditioned upon the occurrence of
such Make Whole Change of Control. The number of 

39

 

Additional Shares will be determined by reference
to the table in Section 10.05(b) (based on the Effective Date and the Applicable Price).

          (b) The Applicable Prices set forth in the first row of the table below shall be adjusted as
of any date on which the conversion rate of the Securities is adjusted pursuant to Section 10.06.
The adjusted Applicable Prices will equal the Applicable Prices applicable immediately prior to
such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction,

     (i) the numerator of which is the conversion rate immediately prior to the adjustment
giving rise to the Applicable Price adjustment; and

     (ii) the denominator of which is the conversion rate as so adjusted.

The number of Additional Shares will be adjusted in the same manner and for the same events as the
conversion rate is adjusted pursuant to Section 10.06.

          The following table shows the number of Additional Shares per $1,000 principal amount of
Securities that would be payable for each hypothetical Applicable Price and Effective Date set
forth below:

          The exact Applicable Price and Effective Date may not be set forth in the table above, in
which case:

     (i) if the actual Applicable Price is between two Applicable Price amounts in the table
or the Effective Date is between two dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares
will be determined by straight-line interpolation between the numbers of Additional Shares
set forth for the higher and lower Applicable Price amounts, and/or the two dates, based on
a 365-day year, as applicable;

     (ii) if the actual Applicable Price is equal to or in excess of $200.00 per share
(subject to adjustment), the Company will not increase the conversion rate applicable to the
converted Security by any Additional Shares; and

40

 

     (iii) if the actual Applicable Price is equal to or less than $52.07 per share (subject
to adjustment), the Company will not increase the conversion rate applicable to the
converted Security by any Additional Shares.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Company increase the conversion rate as
described in this Section 10.05 to the extent the increase will cause the conversion rate to exceed
19.2049 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, subject to adjustment in
the same manner as the conversion rate as set forth in Section 10.06.

          (c) The Company will mail a notice to Holders and issue a press release no later than 25 days
prior to a Make Whole Change of Control’s Anticipated Effective Date. If a Make Whole Change of
Control also constitutes a Public Acquirer Change of Control, the notice will also state whether
the Company elects to have the Securities convert into Acquirer Common Stock as described in
Section 10.06(d) below.

          (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, and in lieu of increasing the conversion rate as set forth
in paragraphs (a) and (b) above by a number of Additional Shares, in the case of a Public Acquirer
Change of Control, the Company may elect that, from and after the Effective Date of such Public
Acquirer Change of Control, the right to convert a Security into Conversion Shares will be changed
into the right to convert it into shares of Acquirer Common Stock as
specified below. The conversion rate on and following the Effective Date of such Public
Acquirer Change of Control shall initially be a number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock equal to
the product of:

     (i) the conversion rate in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date of such
Public Acquirer Change of Control; and

     (ii) the average of the quotients obtained, for each Trading Day in the 10 consecutive
Trading Day period commencing on the Trading Day immediately after the Effective Date of
such Public Acquirer Change of Control (the “Valuation Period”), by dividing

     (a) the Acquisition Value per share of Common Stock on such Trading Day, by

     (b) the Volume Weighted Average Price per share of the Acquirer Common Stock on
such Trading Day.

          The “Acquisition Value” per share of the Common Stock on each Trading Day in the
Valuation Period means the sum of:

	 	(i)	 	if any of such consideration consists of Cash, 100% of the face amount of such
Cash consideration per share of the Common Stock;

	 
	 	(ii)	 	if any of such consideration consists of shares of Acquirer Common Stock, the
product of 100% of the Volume Weighted Average Price of such Acquirer

41

 

	 	 	 	Common Stock on
such Trading Day and the number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock paid per share of
the Common Stock; and

	 
	 	(iii)	 	if any of such consideration consists of any other securities, assets or
property, 100% of the fair market value, on such Trading Day, of the amount of such
security, asset or property paid per share of the Common Stock, as determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors.

          (e) If the Company elects to change the conversion rate in accordance with paragraph (d) above
in connection with a Public Acquirer Change of Control, then:

     (i) such change will apply to all Holders from and after the Effective Date of the
Public Acquirer Change of Control;

     (ii) the Company’s conversion obligation as set forth under Section 10.03 will consist
of Acquirer Common Stock;

     (iii) the conversion rate will be subject to further adjustments in the manner
described in Section 10.06; and

     (iv) no change will be made to the conversion right pursuant to Section 10.13 in
connection with such Public Acquirer Change of Control.

          SECTION 10.06. Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The conversion rate shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time as follows:

          (a) In case the Company shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a distribution to all holders
of the outstanding Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, or shall effect a subdivision into a
greater number of shares of Common Stock or combination into a lesser number of shares of Common
Stock, the conversion rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by
multiplying the conversion rate in effect at the close of business on the Record Date for such
dividend or other distribution or subdivision or combination, as applicable, by a fraction,

     (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after the close of business on such Record Date as if such dividend payment,
distribution, subdivision or combination had occurred at such time; and

     (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
at the close of business on such Record Date,

such adjustment to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following
the Record Date for such determination.

          (b) In case the Company shall issue or distribute rights or warrants to all holders of its
outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring 60 days or less from the
date of issuance of such rights or warrants) to purchase shares of Common Stock (or

42

 

securities
convertible into Common Stock) at less than (or having a conversion price per share less than) the
Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Record Date for such issuance or distribution, the
conversion rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying
the conversion rate in effect at the close of business on the Record Date for such distribution by
a fraction,

     (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at
the close of business on the Record Date for such issuance or distribution plus the total
number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase or issuable
pursuant to such rights or warrants, and

     (ii) the denominator of which shall be (1) the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date for such issuance or distribution
plus (2) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate price payable to exercise such
rights by (y) the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10
consecutive Trading Days prior to the business day immediately preceding the announcement
date for such distribution.

Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrants are issued, and
shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record
Date for such issuance or distribution. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not
delivered after the expiration of such rights or warrants, the conversion rate shall be readjusted
to the conversion rate that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance or
distribution of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of
shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights or warrants are not so issued, the
conversion rate shall again be adjusted to be the conversion rate that would then be in effect if
such Record Date for such issuance or distribution had not been fixed.

          (c) (i) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its
Common Stock shares of any class of Capital Stock of the Company (other than Common Stock as
covered by Section 10.06(a)) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash or other assets (including
securities other than Common Stock, but excluding dividends and distributions covered by Section
10.06(b), Section 10.06(d) or Section 10.06(e)) (any of such shares of Capital Stock, indebtedness,
cash or other assets hereinafter in this Section 10.06(c)) called the “Distributed
Property”)), then, in each such case the conversion rate shall be increased so that the same
shall be equal to the rate determined by multiplying the conversion rate in effect at the close of
business on the Record Date with respect to such issuance or distribution by a fraction,

          (1) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price on such Record Date; and

          (2) the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price on such Record Date
less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination
shall be conclusive, and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) on the Record
Date of the portion of the Distributed Property so distributed applicable to one share of
Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on
the Record Date),

43

 

such adjustment to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following
such Record Date; provided that if the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of
the Distributed Property so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or
greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment,
adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive, for each
$1,000 principal amount of Securities upon conversion, the amount of Distributed Property such
Holder would have received had such Holder owned an amount of shares of Common Stock equal to the
conversion rate on the Record Date. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the
conversion rate shall again be adjusted to be the conversion rate that would then be in effect if
such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair
market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 10.06(c) by reference to the actual
or when issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such
market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price on the applicable Record
Date.

          (ii) Notwithstanding Section 10.06(c)(i), if the Distributed Property distributed by the
Company to all holders of its Common Stock consists of shares of Capital Stock of, or similar
equity interests in, a subsidiary or other business unit of the Company that are, or, when issued,
will be, traded on a U.S. securities exchange, the conversion rate shall be increased, in lieu of
the adjustment provided for by Section 10.06(c)(i), so that the same shall be equal to the rate
determined by multiplying the conversion rate in effect on the Record Date with respect to such
distribution by a fraction,

     (1) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the average of the Closing Sale
Prices of the Capital Stock or equity interests applicable to one share of Common Stock for
the 10 consecutive Trading Days commencing on and including the third Trading Day after the
Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution plus (B) the average of the Closing Sale Prices of
the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Days commencing on and including the third
Trading Day after the Ex-Dividend Date; and

     (2) the denominator of which shall be the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the
Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Days commencing on and including the third
Trading Day after the Ex-Dividend Date,

such adjustment to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following
such Record Date.

     If Distributed Property distributed by the Company to all Holders of its Common Stock consists
of shares of Capital Stock of, or similar equity interests in a subsidiary or other business unit
of the Company that are not, or, when issued, will be, traded on a U.S. securities exchange, then
the conversion rate then in effect will be adjusted as provided in paragraph (i) of this Section
10.06(c).

          (iii) Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling
the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Capital Stock (either initially or under
certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or
events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of

44

 

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 10.06 (and no
adjustment to the conversion rate under this Section 10.06 will be required) until the occurrence
of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been
distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the conversion rate shall be made
under this Section 10.06(c). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or
warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the
occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities,
evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such
event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or
warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants
without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or
deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type
described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for
purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the conversion rate under
this Section 10.06 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants that shall all have
been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the conversion rate shall be
readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger
Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption
or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or
warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common
Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or
warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the
conversion rate shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued.

          (iv) For purposes of this Section 10.06(c), Section 10.06(a) and Section 10.06(b), any
dividend or distribution to which this Section 10.06(c) is applicable that also includes shares of
Common Stock to which Section 10.06(a) applies, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock to which Section 10.06(b) applies (or both), shall be deemed instead to be
(1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock
other than such shares of Common Stock to which Section 10.06(a) applies, or rights or warrants to
which Section 10.06(b) applies (and any conversion rate adjustment required by this Section
10.06(c) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by
(2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants (and any
further conversion rate adjustment required by Section 10.06(a) and Section 10.06(b) with respect
to such dividend or distribution shall then be made).

          (d) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute exclusively Cash to all
holders of its Common Stock then the conversion rate shall be adjusted by multiplying the
conversion rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for such
dividend or distribution by a fraction,

     (i) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price on such Record Date; and

45

 

     (ii) the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price on such Record Date
minus the amount of Cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined
on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date),

such adjustment to be effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the
Record Date; provided that if the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of
Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in lieu of
the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right
to receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities upon conversion, the amount of cash such
Holder would have received had such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the
conversion rate on the Record Date. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the
conversion rate shall again be adjusted to be the conversion rate that would then be in effect if
such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

          (e) In case a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any subsidiary for all or any
portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender or exchange offer (as amended upon the
expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders of Cash and any other consideration
per share of Common Stock having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, and
described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) that as of the last date (the “Expiration
Date”) tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be
amended) exceeds the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next preceding the
Expiration Date, the conversion rate shall be increased so that the same shall equal the rate
determined by multiplying the conversion rate in effect at the close of business on the Expiration
Date by a fraction,

     (i) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (x) the fair market value (determined as
aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance
(up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of all shares of
Common Stock validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Date (the
shares deemed so accepted up to any such maximum, being referred to as the “Purchased
Shares”) and (y) the product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as
of the last time tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer
(the “Expiration Time”), less any Purchased Shares, and (B) the average of the
Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Days commencing on
the Trading Day immediately following the Expiration Date, and

     (ii) the denominator of which shall be (A) the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at the Expiration Time (including any Purchased Shares) multiplied by (B) the
average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Days
commencing on the Trading Day immediately following the Expiration Date,

such adjustment to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following
the Expiration Time. If the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender or
exchange offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law

46

 

from effecting any such
purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the conversion rate shall again be adjusted to be
the conversion rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been
made.

          (f) For purposes of this Section 10.06 the term “Record Date” shall mean, with respect
to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of Common Stock
have the right to receive any Cash, securities or other property or in which the Common Stock (or
other applicable security) is exchanged for or converted into any combination of cash, securities
or other property, the date fixed for determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive
such cash, securities or other property (whether such date is fixed by the Board of Directors or by
statute, contract or otherwise).

          (g) Notwithstanding the above, in no case will the Company adjust the conversion rate pursuant
to clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) of this Section 10.06 to the extent
that the adjustment would reduce the Conversion Price below the par value per share of Common
Stock. To the extent that the Company has a shareholder rights plan in effect, upon conversion of
the Securities into Common Stock, a holder will receive, with respect to the Common Stock, if any,
received upon conversion, the rights under the rights plan, whether or not the rights have
separated from the Common Stock, prior to any conversion. So long as the Company complies with the
preceding sentence, a distribution of rights pursuant to such a rights plan will not trigger a
conversion rate adjustment.

          (h) For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 10.06, in the event of any
reclassification of the Common Stock, as a result of which the Securities become convertible into
more than one class of Common Stock, if an adjustment to the conversion rate is required pursuant
to this Section 10.06, references in this Section 10.06 to one share of Common Stock or to the
Current Market Price or Closing Sale Price of one share of Common Stock shall be deemed to refer to
a unit or to the price of a unit consisting of the number of shares of each class of Common Stock
into which the Securities are then convertible equal to the numbers of shares of such class issued
in respect of one share of Common Stock in such reclassification. The above provisions of this
paragraph shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications.

          SECTION 10.07. Fractional Shares. The Company will not issue fractional shares of
Common Stock upon conversion of Securities. Instead, the Company will pay Cash for all fractional
shares based on the Closing Sale Price of Common Stock on the last Trading Day prior to the
conversion date. The Closing Sale Price of a fractional share shall be determined by multiplying
the applicable Closing Sale Price of a full share by the fractional amount and rounding to the
nearest whole cent. If a Holder elects to have more than one Security converted, the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion and the cash payment in lieu of fractional shares
shall be based on the aggregate principal amount of Securities converted.

          SECTION 10.08. No Adjustment. No adjustment in the conversion rate shall be required
until cumulative adjustments amount to 1% or more of the conversion rate as last adjusted;
provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 10.08 are not required to
be made shall be carried forward and taken into account upon the earlier of (x) any conversion of
Securities and (y) any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article X shall be made
to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case

47

 

may be. No adjustment
need be made for rights to purchase Common Stock pursuant to a Company plan for reinvestment of
dividends or interest. No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value of the Common
Stock.

          If any rights, options or warrants issued by the Company as described in Section 10.06 are
only exercisable upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, then the conversion rate will
not be adjusted as provided in Section 10.06 until the earliest date such triggering event occurs.

          No adjustment need be made for a transaction referred to in this Article X if the Company
makes provision for the Holders to participate in the transaction without conversion on a basis and
with notice that the Board of Directors determines to be fair and appropriate in light of the basis
and notice on which holders of Common Stock participate in the transaction.

          SECTION 10.09. Other Adjustments. In the event that, as a result of an adjustment
made pursuant to Section 10.06, the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion
shall become entitled to receive any shares of Capital Stock other than shares of Common Stock,
thereafter the conversion rate of such other shares so receivable upon conversion of any Security
shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as
practicable to the provisions with respect to Common Stock contained in this Article X.

          SECTION 10.10. Adjustments for Tax Purposes. In addition to those required by Section
10.06 hereof, and to the extent permitted by applicable law or applicable rules of the Nasdaq
Global Select Market, the Company from time to time may increase the conversion rate by any amount,
for any period of at least 20 days, the Board of Directors deems advisable including such increases
that would avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common
Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any
event treated as such for income tax purposes or would otherwise be in the best interests of the
Company, which determination shall be conclusive. Whenever the conversion rate is increased
pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall mail to the holder of each Security at his
last address appearing on the Security register on the Registrar’s books a notice of the increase
at least 15 days prior to the date the increased conversion rate takes effect, and such notice
shall state the increased conversion rate and the period during which it will be in effect.

          SECTION 10.11. Notice of Adjustment. 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. 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 becomes effective and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the conversion rate
to the holder of each Security at its last address appearing on

48

 

the Security register on the
Registrar’s books, within 20 days of the effective date of such adjustment. Failure to deliver
such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

          SECTION 10.12. Notice of Certain Transactions. In the event that:

     (a) the Company takes any action which would require an adjustment in the conversion
rate;

     (b) the Company takes any action that would require a supplemental indenture pursuant
to Section 10.13; or

     (c) there is a dissolution or liquidation of the Company;

a Holder of a Security may wish to convert such Security into shares of Common Stock prior to the
record date for or the effective date of the transaction so that he may receive the rights,
warrants, securities or assets which a holder of shares of Common Stock on that date may receive.
Therefore, the Company shall mail to Holders at the addresses appearing on the Registrar’s books
and the Trustee a notice stating the proposed record or effective date, as the case may be, of any
transaction referred to in clause (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 10.12. The Company shall mail
such notice at least 15 days before such date; however, failure to mail such notice or any defect
therein shall not affect the validity of any transaction referred to in clause (a), (b) or (c) of
this Section 10.12.

          SECTION 10.13. Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale on Conversion
Privilege. Upon (i) any (a) reclassification or (b) change, in each case, with respect to the
outstanding shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities (other than a change
in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result
of a split, subdivision or combination), (ii) any consolidation, merger or combination of the
Company with another Person as a result of which holders of shares of Common Stock shall be
entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to
or in exchange for such shares of Common Stock (other than a merger in which the Company is the
continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification of, or change (other than
a change in name, or par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par
value or as a result of a subdivision or combination) in, the Common Stock), or (iii) any sale,
lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company and
its subsidiaries substantially as an entirety to any other Person, or any statutory share exchange,
in each case as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock,
securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) with respect to
or in exchange for such Common Stock (any such event a “Merger Event”), then:

          (a) the Company or the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute
with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the TIA as in force at the date
of execution of such supplemental indenture if such supplemental indenture is then required to so
comply) permitted under Section 9.01 providing for the conversion and settlement of the Securities
as set forth in this Indenture. Such supplemental indenture shall

49

 

provide for adjustments which
shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article
or pursuant to Section 10.05 in the case of a Public Acquirer Change of Control, as the case may
be. If, in the case of any Merger Event, the Reference Property includes shares of stock or other
securities and assets of a corporation other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the
case may be, in such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or
conveyance, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other corporation and
shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Securities
as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including
to the extent required by the Board of Directors and practicable the provisions providing for the
repurchase rights set forth in Article III herein.

          In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section
10.13, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating
the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of shares of stock or other securities or property
(including Cash) that will constitute the Reference Property after any such Merger Event any
adjustment to be made with respect thereto and shall promptly mail notice thereof to all Holders.

          (b) Except as set forth in Section 10.05 in the case of a Public Acquirer Change of Control,
at the effective time of such Merger Event, (i) the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount
of Securities will be changed to a right to convert such Security into the kind and amount of
shares of stock, 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 immediately prior
to such transaction would have owned or been entitled to receive (the “Reference Property”)
and (ii) the related conversion obligation shall be settled at the times and otherwise as set forth
under clause (c) below. In the event holders of shares of Common Stock have the opportunity to
elect the form of consideration to be received in such Merger Event, the type and amount of
consideration that Securityholders would have been entitled to receive shall be deemed to be the
weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by holders of shares of Common
Stock that affirmatively make an election. The Company shall not become a party to any such
transaction unless its terms are consistent with the preceding. None of the foregoing provisions
shall affect the right of a holder of Securities to convert its Securities into shares of Common
Stock, as set forth in Section 10.01 and Section 10.02 prior to the effective date of such Merger
Event.

          (c) If the Securities shall be convertible into Reference Property as set forth above, the
related conversion obligation, with respect to each $1,000 principal amount of Securities tendered
for conversion after the effective time of any such Merger Event, shall be settled in units of
Reference Property; provided that for purposes of determining the conversion consideration, amounts
shall be based on the per unit average value of the Reference Property during the applicable
period, such per unit value shall be (A) for any shares of common stock that are included in the
Reference Property, using the procedures set forth in the definition of “Closing Sale Price”; (B)
for any other property (other than Cash) included in the Reference Property, as determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors or by a New York Stock Exchange member firm selected by the Board
of Directors and (C) for any Cash, the face amount of such Cash.

50

 

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

          (e) The above provisions of this Section 10.13 shall similarly apply to successive Merger
Events.

          SECTION 10.14. Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee has no duty to determine when an
adjustment under this Article X should be made, how it should be made or what such
adjustment should be, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such
adjustment, and shall be protected in relying upon the Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto
which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.11 hereof. The
Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon
conversion of Securities, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the failure by the Company
to comply with any provisions of this Article X.

          The Trustee shall not be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any
provisions contained in any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to Section 10.13, but may
accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness thereof, and shall be protected in relying upon,
the Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the
Trustee pursuant to Section 10.11 hereof.

          SECTION 10.15. No Registration Rights; Additional Interest. (a) If, at any time
during the six-month period beginning on, and including, the date which is six months after the
last date of original issuance of the Securities and ending on, and including, the 365th day after
the last date of the original issuance of the Securities, the Company either (i) fails to timely
file any document or report that the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section
13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable (after giving effect to all applicable grace periods
pursuant to Rule 12b-25 thereunder and other than current reports on Form 8-K), and such failure
continues for 14 days in the aggregate, or (ii) the Securities are not otherwise freely tradable by
holders other than Affiliates or the Company (as a result of restrictions pursuant to U.S.
securities law or the terms of this Indenture or the Securities) (each an “Additional Interest
Event”), the Company will pay Additional Interest on the Securities. Additional Interest will
accrue on the Securities at the rate of 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of Securities
outstanding for each day during the first 90-day period for which an Additional Interest Event has
occurred and is continuing, such Additional Interest rate will be increased by an additional 0.25%
per annum for each subsequent 90-day period for which an Additional Interest Event is not cured or
waived prior to such 90th day of the relevant period, provided that the rate at which such
Additional Interest accrues pursuant to this Section 10.15 may in no event exceed 0.50% per annum
of the principal amount of the Securities outstanding.

          (b) If, and for so long as, the Private Placement Legend on the Securities has not been
removed or the Securities are not otherwise freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 by Holders other
than Affiliates (without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of this
Indenture or the Securities) as of the 365th day after the last date of original issuance of the

51

 

Securities, the Company will pay Additional Interest on the Securities at a rate equal to 0.50% per
annum of the principal amount of Securities outstanding until the Securities are freely tradable as
described above.

          (c) Until such time as the Company notifies the Trustee to remove the Private Placement Legend
from the Securities, the applicable restricted CUSIP number will be the CUSIP number for the
Securities. Any additional Securities issued in accordance with Section 2.18 may have different
restricted CUSIP numbers. At such time as the Company notifies the Trustee to remove the
restrictive legend from the Securities, such legend will be deemed
removed from any Global Security and the unrestricted CUSIP number for the Securities will be
deemed to be the CUSIP number for the Securities.

          (d) Additional Interest payable pursuant to this Section 10.15 will be payable in arrears on
each interest payment date following accrual in the same manner as regular interest on the
Securities.

conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action
have been complied with; and

     (b) an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such
conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with.

          Each signer of an Officers’ Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel may (if so stated) rely,
effectively, upon an Opinion of Counsel as to legal matters and an Officers’ Certificate as to
factual matters if such signer reasonably and in good faith believes in the accuracy of the
document relied upon.

          SECTION 11.05. Statements Required in Certificate or Opinion. Each Officers’
Certificate or Opinion of Counsel with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided
for in this Indenture shall include:

     (a) a statement that the person making such certificate or opinion has read such

examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him or her to express an informed

covenant has been complied with.

          SECTION 11.06. Rules by Trustee and Agents. The Trustee may make reasonable rules for
action by or at a meeting of Securityholders. The Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent may
make reasonable rules and set reasonable requirements for their respective functions.

          SECTION 11.07. Legal Holidays. A “Legal Holiday” is a Saturday, a Sunday or a
day on which banking institutions are not required to be open in the City of New York, in the State
of New York or in the city in which the Trustee or the applicable agent administers its corporate
trust business. If a payment date is a Legal Holiday at a place of payment, payment may be made at
that place on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday, and no interest shall accrue on
that payment for the intervening period.

          A “business day” is a day other than a Legal Holiday.

          SECTION 11.08. No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future director,
officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company, as such, shall have any liability
for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or this Indenture or for any claim based
on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a
Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for the issuance of the Securities.

          SECTION 11.09. Duplicate Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this
Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same
agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart thereof.

          SECTION 11.10. Governing Law. The laws of the State of New York shall govern this
Indenture and the Securities.

          SECTION 11.11. No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements. This Indenture may not
be used to interpret another indenture, loan or debt agreement of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries. Any such indenture, loan or debt agreement may not be used to interpret this
Indenture.

          SECTION 11.12. Successors. All agreements of the Company in this Indenture and the
Securities shall bind their respective successors. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture
shall bind its successors.

          SECTION 11.13. Separability. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the
Securities shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and a Holder shall
have no claim therefor against any party hereto.

          SECTION 11.14. Table of Contents, Headings, etc. The Table of Contents,
Cross-Reference Table and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been
inserted for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof and shall in no
way modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.

BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTION
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

          SECTION 11.16. 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
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 which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume
performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

[REVERSE OF SECURITY]

WEBMD HEALTH CORP.

2.50% Convertible Note due 2018

     1. Interest. WebMD Health Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to
pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate per annum shown above. The
Company will pay interest semiannually on January 31 and July 31 of each year, with the first
payment to be made on July 31, 2011, to the Holders of record on the immediately preceding January
15 and July 15, respectively, whether or not such day is a business day. Interest on the
Securities will accrue on the principal amount from the most recent date to which interest has been
paid or provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from January 11, 2011. Interest will be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Company will not be required
to make any interest payment on the Securities on any day that is not a business day until the next
succeeding business day. Such interest payment made on the next succeeding business day will be
treated as though it were paid on the original due date and no interest will accrue on the payment
for the additional period of time. All references to “interest” in this Security shall be deemed
to include Additional Interest (as defined in the Indenture).

     2. Maturity. The Securities will mature on January 31, 2018.

     3. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted
interest) to the persons who are registered Holders of Securities at the close of business on the
record date set forth on the face of this Security immediately preceding the applicable interest
payment date. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect the principal or
Repurchase Price of the Securities. The Company will pay all amounts due with respect to the
Securities in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of
public and private debts. However, the Company may pay interest, the Repurchase Price, the
premium, if any, and the principal amount, as the case may be, by check or wire payable in such
money; provided, however, that a Holder holding Securities with an aggregate principal amount in
excess of $2,000,000 will be paid by wire transfer in immediately available funds at the election
of such Holder. The Company may mail an interest check to the Holder’s last address appearing on
the Security register on the Registrar’s books. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as this
Security is registered in the name of a Depositary or its nominee, all payments hereon shall be
made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its
nominee.

     4. Paying Agent, Registrar, Conversion Agent. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust
Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”) will act as Paying Agent, Registrar and Conversion Agent.
The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or Conversion Agent without notice. The Company
may act as Paying Agent.

     5. Indenture; Ranking. The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture, dated as of
January 11, 2011 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. The

 

 

terms of the
Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference
to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “Act”) as in effect
on the date of the Indenture. The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Securityholders
are referred to the Indenture and the Act for a statement of such terms. The Securities are
general unsecured obligations of the Company that are initially limited to $400,000,000 in
aggregate principal amount. Additional Securities may be issued in an unlimited aggregate
principal amount, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture. Terms used and not
otherwise defined herein that are defined in the Indenture have the meanings assigned to them in
the Indenture.

     6. Repurchase Upon a Change in Control. Upon any Change in Control (as defined below) with
respect to the Company, each Holder shall have the right (the “Change in Control Repurchase
Right”), at the Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase all of such Holder’s
Securities, or a portion thereof which is $1,000 in principal amount or any positive integral
multiple thereof, on the date (the “Change in Control Repurchase Date”) that is 30 business
days after the date of the Change in Control Notice (as defined below) at the Repurchase Price,
plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Change in Control Repurchase Date. At
the option of the Company, the Repurchase Price for Securities the Company is required to
repurchase pursuant to a Change in Control may be paid in Cash, Common Stock or a combination of
both, subject to certain conditions as set forth in the Indenture.

     Within 30 days after the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company, the Company shall
mail to all Holders of record of the Securities a notice (the “Change in Control Notice”)
of the occurrence of such Change in Control and the Change in Control Repurchase Right arising as a
result thereof. The Company shall deliver a copy of the Change in Control Notice to the Trustee
and shall disseminate a copy via a press release through Dow Jones & Company, Inc. or Bloomberg
Business News or other similarly broad public medium that is customary for such press releases. To
exercise the Change in Control Repurchase Right, a Holder of Securities must deliver on or before
the close of business on the 30th day after the date of the Change in Control Notice
irrevocable written notice to the Trustee, or to a Paying Agent designated by the Company for such
purpose in the Change in Control Notice, in the form of the Option of Holder to Elect Repurchase
Notice on the back of the Security, of the Holder’s exercise of such right together with the
Securities with respect to which the right is being exercised, duly endorsed for transfer.

               A “Change in Control” of the Company shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as:

               (i) any person acquires beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, through a
purchase, merger or other acquisition transaction or series of transactions, of shares of
the Company’s capital stock entitling the person to exercise 50% or more of the total voting
power of all shares of the Company’s capital stock that are entitled to vote generally in
elections of directors, other than an acquisition by the Company, any of its
subsidiaries or any of its employee benefit plans; or

 

 

                    (ii) the conveyance, sale transfer or lease by the Company of all or substantially all
of its assets to another person.

               However, a Change in Control will not be deemed to have occurred if:

	 	(X)	 	the Closing Sale Price for any five Trading Days within the
period of ten consecutive Trading Days ending immediately after the later of
the Change in Control or the public announcement of the Change in Control, in
the case of a Change in Control relating to an acquisition of capital stock, or
the period of ten consecutive Trading Days ending immediately before the Change
in Control, in the case of a Change in Control relating to a merger,
consolidation or asset sale, equals or exceeds 105% of the Conversion Price of
the Securities in effect on each of those five Trading Days; or
	 
	 	(Y)	 	either all or substantially all (but in no event less than 90%)
of the consideration, excluding Cash payments for fractional shares of Common
Stock and Cash payments made pursuant to dissenters’ appraisal rights, in a
merger or consolidation otherwise constituting a Change in Control in the
preceding paragraph (X) consists of shares of common stock, depositary receipts
or other certificates representing common equity interests traded on a national
securities exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global
Select Market or the New York Stock Exchange, or will be so traded or quoted
immediately following such merger or consolidation, and as a result of such
merger or consolidation the Securities become convertible solely into such
consideration or the Company has elected to cause the Securities to be
convertible solely into Acquirer Common Stock in accordance with Section
10.05(d) of the Indenture or the Securities will otherwise become convertible
into Reference Property at least 90% of which shall consist of shares of common
stock, depositary receipts or other certificates representing common equity
interests that are traded on the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select
Market or the New York Stock Exchange as described in this paragraph in this
paragraph (Y) in accordance with Section 10.13(b) of the Indenture.

          For purposes of this “Change in Control” definition:

     (1) whether a person is a “beneficial owner” will be determined in accordance
with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act; and

     (3) a “person” includes any syndicate or group that would be deemed to be a
person under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.

     7. Conversion. Subject to the provisions of Article X of the Indenture, a Holder of a
Security may convert such Security into shares of Common Stock of the Company. The initial
conversion rate is 15.1220 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Securities,

 

 

or an
effective initial Conversion Price of approximately $66.13 per share, subject to adjustment
in the
event of certain circumstances as specified in the Indenture. The Company will deliver Cash in
lieu of any fractional share.

     If the Effective Date or Anticipated Effective Date of a Make Whole Change of Control occurs
and a Holder surrenders its Securities for conversion during the period commencing 20 days prior to
the Anticipated Effective Date of the Make Whole Change of Control until 20 days after the
Effective Date of the Make Whole Change of Control, the Company will increase the conversion rate
for the Securities surrendered for conversion by a number of Additional Shares as set forth in
Section 10.05 of the Indenture.

     To convert a Security, a Holder must (1) complete and sign the Conversion Notice, with
appropriate signature guarantee, on the back of the Security, (2) surrender the Security to a
Conversion Agent, (3) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the
Registrar or Conversion Agent, (4) if required by Article X of the Indenture, pay the amount of
interest the Holder may be paid and (5) pay any transfer or similar tax if required. A Holder may
convert a portion of a Security if the portion is $1,000 principal amount or a positive integral
multiple of $1,000 principal amount.

     All Conversion Shares shall bear the Private Placement Legend until after the first
anniversary of the later of (i) the issue date for the Securities, (ii) the last date on which the
Company or any Affiliate of the Company was the owner of such shares or the Security (or any
predecessor security) from which such shares were converted (or such shorter period of time as
permitted by Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any successor provision thereunder) (or such
longer period of time as may be required under the Securities Act or applicable state securities
laws in the Opinion of Counsel for the Company, unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the
Holder thereof).

     8. Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The Securities are in registered form without coupons
in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and positive integral multiples of $1,000 principal
amount. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided
in the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     9. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Security may be treated as the owner of
such Security for all purposes.

     10. Merger or Consolidation. The Company shall not consolidate with or merge with or into, or
convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets to, another person
unless (x) the resulting, surviving or transferee person is a corporation, limited liability
company, partnership or trust organized under the laws of the United States, any State
thereof or the District of Columbia or a corporation, limited liability company, partnership
or trust or comparable legal entity organized under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction and whose
equity securities (or whose direct parent company’s equity securities) are listed on a national
securities exchange in the United States prior to or upon giving effect to the transaction

 

 

(provided, however, that in the case of a transaction where the surviving entity is organized under
the laws of a foreign jurisdiction, the Company may not consummate the transaction without first
(i) making provision for the satisfaction of its obligations to repurchase the Securities following
a Change in Control, if any, (ii) amending the terms of the Securities to provide that, in the
event the Company is required under the laws of such foreign jurisdiction (or any political
subdivision thereof) to withhold or deduct amounts in respect of taxes from payments made to
Securityholders on the Securities, the Company will pay such additional amounts to the holders as
may be necessary so that each Securityholder will receive the same amounts it would have received
had no such withholding or deduction been required, provided that no additional amounts will be
payable with respect to any Security for (1) any taxes imposed by reason of any present or former
connection between a Securityholder and any political organization or governmental authority
thereof or therein having power to tax other than the mere purchase, holding or disposition of any
Security, including, without limitation, such Securityholder being or having been a citizen or
resident thereof or being or having been present or engaged in a trade or business therein or
having had a permanent establishment therein, (2) any taxes imposed by reason of a Securityholder’s
failure to comply with any certification, identification, documentation or other reporting
requirement if compliance is required by law, regulation, administrative practice or an applicable
treaty as a precondition to exemption from, or a reduction in the rate of withholding of, such
taxes (provided that the Company advise the Trustee and the Securityholders of any change in such
requirements), (3) any tax, assessment or other governmental charge which is payable otherwise than
by withholding from payment of (or in respect of) principal of, premium, if any, or any interest
on, the Securities, (4) estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property, value added
or similar taxes or other governmental charges, and (5) any taxes that the Board of Directors
determines in good faith are typically carved out of an issuer’s obligation to pay additional
amounts with respect to payments made on debt securities issued by corporations organized in such
foreign jurisdiction as of the time of the applicable transaction, (iii) obtaining an opinion of
tax counsel experienced in such matters to the effect that, under then existing United States
federal income tax laws, there would be no material adverse tax consequences to Securityholders of
the Securities resulting from such transaction) and (iv) if such surviving entity qualifies for
Section 5.01 of the Indenture as a result of the listing of its direct parent’s equity securities,
such parent will provide a full and unconditional guarantee of the Company’s obligations under the
Securities and the Indenture; (y) such person assumes by supplemental indenture all the obligations
of the Company, under the Securities and this Indenture; and (z) immediately after giving effect to
the transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall exist.

     11. Amendments, Supplements and Waivers. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the
Securities may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, and any existing Default or Event of
Default may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Securities then outstanding. Without notice to or the consent of any
Securityholder, the Indenture or the Securities may be amended or supplemented, with the consent of
the Trustee, to cure any ambiguity, inconsistency or other defect in the Indenture; to comply with
Sections 5.01, 10.05 and 10.12 of the Indenture; to evidence a successor to the Company and the
assumption by that successor of the Company’s obligations under the Indenture and the Securities;
to evidence and provide for the acceptance of the appointment under the Indenture of a successor
Trustee; to secure the obligations of the Company in respect

 

 

of the Securities; to add to covenants of the Company described in the Indenture for the
benefit of Securityholders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company; or to
increase the conversion rate; to issue additional Securities pursuant to Section 2.18 of the
Indenture; or to conform, as necessary, the Indenture and the form or terms of the Securities to
the description of the Securities set forth in the offering documents.

     12. Defaults and Remedies. An Event of Default includes the occurrence of those events set
forth in Section 6.01 of the Indenture. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then
outstanding may declare all the Securities to be due and payable immediately, except as provided in
the Indenture. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) of the Indenture with
respect to the Company occurs, the principal of and accrued interest on all the Securities shall
ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the
part of the Trustee or any Securityholder. The Company must furnish an annual compliance
certificate to the Trustee.

     13. Trustee Dealings with the Company. The Trustee under the Indenture, or any banking
institution serving as successor Trustee thereunder, in its individual or any other capacity, may
make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and
may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.

     14. No Recourse Against Others. No past, present or future director, officer, employee,
incorporator or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall have any liability for any obligations
of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by
reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Securityholder by accepting a Security waives
and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the
issue of the Securities.

     15. Authentication. This Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual
signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

     16. Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Securityholder or an
assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entirety), JT TEN (=
joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and
U/G/M/A (Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).
