2000 OMNIBUS STOCK PLAN

Terms and Conditions of Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement

          These are the terms and conditions applicable to the NONSTATUTORY STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
between Digi International Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the optionee (the
“Optionee”) listed on the cover page hereof (the “Cover Page”) effective as of the date of grant.
The Cover Page together with these terms and conditions of Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement
constitute the “Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement.”

          WHEREAS, the Company desires to carry out the purposes of its Digi International Inc. 2000
Omnibus Stock Plan as amended from time to time (the “Plan”), by affording the Optionee an
opportunity to purchase Common Stock of the Company, par value $.01 per share (the “Common
Shares”), according to the terms set forth herein and on the Cover Page;

          NOW THEREFORE, the Company hereby grants this Option to the Optionee under the terms and
conditions as follows.

          1. Grant of Option. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the
Optionee the right and option (the “Option”) to purchase the number of Common Shares specified on
the Cover Page, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. The Option is not intended by
the Company to be an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

          2. Purchase Price. The purchase price of each of the Common Shares subject to the Option
shall be the exercise price per share specified on the Cover Page, which price has been specified
in accordance with the Plan and shall not be less than 50% of the Fair Market Value (as defined in
paragraph 2.1(l) of the Plan) of a common share as of the date of grant.

          3. Option Period.

          (a) Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 5(a), 5(b) and 6(b) hereof, the Option shall
become exercisable as to the number of shares and on the dates specified in the exercise schedule
on the Cover Page. The exercise schedule shall be cumulative; thus, to the extent the Option has
not already been exercised and has not expired, terminated or been canceled, the Optionee may at
any time, and from time to time, purchase all or any portion of the Common Shares then purchasable
under the exercise schedule. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision herein to the
contrary, the Option shall become immediately exercisable:

     (i) upon the occurrence of the death or disability within the meaning

1

 

of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, of the Optionee (as more particularly described in
paragraphs 5(a)(ii) or 5(b) and 6(a) hereof); or

     (ii) in the event that the committee under the Plan (the “Committee”) shall
declare pursuant to paragraph 6(b) hereof that the Option shall be canceled at the
time of, or immediately prior to the occurrence of an Event, as defined in paragraph
6(b) hereof.

          (b) The Option and all rights to purchase shares thereunder shall cease on the
earliest of:

     (i) the expiration date specified on the Cover Page (which date shall not be
more than ten years after the date of this Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement);

     (ii) the expiration of the period after the termination of the Optionee’s
employment (as defined in paragraph 5 of the Plan) within which the Option is
exercisable as specified in paragraph 5(a) or 5(b), whichever is applicable; or

     (iii) the date, if any, fixed for cancellation pursuant to paragraph 6(b)
hereof.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement, in no event may
anyone exercise the Option, in whole or in part, after its original expiration date.

          4. Manner of Exercising Option.

          Subject to the terms and conditions of this Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement, the Option
may be exercised online with E*Trade at www.etrade.com/stockplans or by such other means as the
Committee shall approve. In accordance with present practice, when your stock option is granted, a
letter or email will be sent to you from E*Trade with instructions on how to activate your account
with E*Trade so that you can view and exercise your stock options online. If you are a director or
officer of the Company, then you must contact E*Trade Executive Support at 1-800-775-2793 in order
to exercise your options.

          5. Exercisability of Option After Termination of Employment.

          (a) During the lifetime of the Optionee, the Option may be exercised only while the Optionee
is employed (as defined in paragraph 5 of the Plan) by the Company or a parent or subsidiary
thereof, and only if the Optionee has been continuously so employed since the date of this
Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement, except that:

     (i) if the Optionee is not an Outside Director (as defined in paragraph 2.1(s)
of the Plan), the Option shall continue to be exercisable for three months after
termination of the Optionee’s employment but only to the extent that the

2

 

Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Optionee’s termination of employment, and if
the Optionee is an Outside Director, the Option shall continue to be exercisable
after the Optionee ceases to be a director of the Company but only to the extent
that the Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Optionee’s ceasing to be a
director;

     (ii) in the event the Optionee is disabled (within the meaning of Section
22(e)(3) of the Code) while employed, the Optionee or his or her legal
representative may exercise the Option within one year after the termination of the
Optionee’s employment; and

     (iii) if the Optionee’s employment terminates after a declaration pursuant to
paragraph 6(b) of this Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement, the Optionee may
exercise the Option at any time permitted by such declaration.

          (b) In the event of the Optionee’s death while employed by the Company or a parent or
subsidiary thereof, or within three months after his or her termination of employment, the legal
representative, heirs or legatees of the Optionee’s estate or the person who acquired the right to
exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance may exercise the Option within one year after the
death of the Optionee.

          (c) Neither the transfer of the Optionee between any combination of the Company, its parent
and any subsidiary of the Company, nor a leave of absence granted to the Optionee and approved by
the Committee, shall be deemed a termination of employment. The terms “parent” and “subsidiary” as
used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to “parent corporation” and “subsidiary corporation,”
respectively, in Sections 424(e) and (f) (or successor provisions) of the Code.

          6. Acceleration of Option.

          (a) Disability or Death. If paragraph 5(a)(ii) or 5(b) of this Nonstatutory Stock
Option Agreement is applicable, the Option, whether or not previously exercisable, shall become
immediately exercisable in full if the Optionee shall have been employed continuously by the
Company or a parent or subsidiary thereof between the date the Option was granted and the date of
such disability or, in the event of death, a date not more than three months, prior to such death.

          (b) Dissolution, Liquidation, Merger. In the event of (i) a proposed merger or
consolidation of the Company with or into any other corporation, regardless of whether the Company
is the surviving corporation, unless appropriate provision shall have been made for the protection
of the Option by the substitution, in lieu of the Option, of an option to purchase
appropriate voting common stock (the “Survivor’s Stock”) of the corporation surviving any such
merger or consolidation or, if appropriate, the parent corporation of the Company or such surviving
corporation, or, alternatively, by the delivery of a number of shares of the Survivor’s Stock which
has a Fair Market Value as of the effective date of such merger or consolidation

3

 

equal to the
product of (A) the excess of (x) the Event Proceeds per Common Share (as hereinafter defined)
covered by the Option as of such effective date, over (y) the Option exercise price per Common
Share, times (B) the number of Common Shares covered by the Option, or (ii) the proposed
dissolution or liquidation of the Company (such merger, consolidation, dissolution or liquidation
being herein called an “Event”), the Committee shall declare, at least ten days prior to the actual
effective date of an Event, and provide written notice to the Optionee of the declaration, that the
Option, whether or not then exercisable, shall be canceled at the time of, or immediately prior to
the occurrence of, the Event (unless it shall have been exercised prior to the occurrence of the
Event) in exchange for payment to the Optionee, within ten days after the Event, of cash equal to
the amount (if any), for each Common Share covered by the canceled Option, by which the Event
Proceeds per Common Share (as hereinafter defined) exceeds the exercise price per Common Share
covered by the Option. At the time of the declaration provided for in the immediately preceding
sentence, the Option shall immediately become exercisable in full and the Optionee shall have the
right, during the period preceding the time of cancellation of the Option, to exercise the Option
as to all or any part of the Common Shares covered thereby. The Option, to the extent it shall not
have been exercised prior to the Event, shall be canceled at the time of, or immediately prior to,
the Event, as provided in the declaration, and this Plan shall terminate at the time of such
cancellation, subject to the payment obligations of the Company provided in this paragraph 6(b).
For purposes of this paragraph, “Event Proceeds per Common Share” shall mean the cash plus the fair
market value, as determined in good faith by the Committee, of the non-cash consideration to be
received per Common Share by the stockholders of the Company upon the occurrence of the Event.

          7. Limitation on Transfer. During the lifetime of the Optionee, only the Optionee or his or
her guardian or legal representative may exercise the Option. The Optionee shall not assign or
transfer the Option otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and the Option
shall not be subject to pledge, hypothecation, execution, attachment or similar process. Any
attempt to assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Option contrary to the
provisions hereof, and the levy of any attachment or similar process upon the Option, shall be null
and void.

          8. Stockholder Rights Before Exercise. The Optionee shall have none of the rights of a
stockholder of the Company with respect to any share subject to the Option until the share is
actually issued to him or her upon exercise of the Option.

          9. Adjustment For Changes in Capitalization. The Option is subject to adjustment for changes
in capitalization as provided in paragraph 16 of the Plan.

          10. Tax Withholding. The parties hereto recognize that the Company or a
parent or subsidiary thereof may be obligated to withhold federal and state income taxes and social
security or other taxes upon the Optionee’s exercise of the Option. The Optionee agrees that, at
the time he or she exercises the Option, if the Company or a parent or subsidiary thereof is
required to withhold such taxes, he or she will promptly pay in cash upon demand to the Company, or
the parent or subsidiary having such obligation, such amounts as shall be necessary to satisfy such
obligation; provided, however, that in lieu of all or any part of such a cash

4

 

payment, the
Committee may, but shall not be required to, (or, in the case of an Optionee who is an Outside
Director (as defined in the Plan), the Committee shall) permit the Optionee to elect to cover all
or any part of the required withholdings through a reduction of the number of Common Shares
delivered to the Optionee or through a subsequent return to the Company of shares delivered to the
Optionee.

          11. Interpretation of this Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement. All decisions and
interpretations made by the Committee with regard to any question arising hereunder or under the
Plan shall be binding and conclusive upon the Company and the Optionee. In the event that there is
any inconsistency between the provisions of this Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement and the Plan,
the provisions of the Plan shall govern.

          12. Discontinuance of Employment. This Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement shall not give the
Optionee a right to continued employment with the Company or any parent or subsidiary thereof, and
the Company or any such parent or subsidiary thereof employing the Optionee may terminate his or
her employment and otherwise deal with the Optionee without regard to the effect it may have upon
him or her under this Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement.

          13. General. The Company shall at all times during the term of this Option reserve and keep
available such number of Common Shares as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this
Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement. This Nonstatutory Stock Option Agreement shall be binding in
all respects on the Optionee’s heirs, representatives, successors and assigns. This Nonstatutory
Stock Option Agreement is entered into under the laws of the State of Minnesota and shall be
construed and interpreted thereunder.

          5. Method of Exercise. (a) While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in

evidenced hereby. Such exercise shall be effected by:

     (i) the surrender of this Warrant by the Holder, together with a notice of
exercise in the form of Exhibit A, to the Secretary of the Company at its principal
offices;

     (ii) the simultaneous payment to the Company by the Holder of an amount equal
to the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Shares in respect of which this
Warrant is then being exercised in immediately available funds; provided,
however, that in lieu of such payment to the Company, the Holder may
exercise this Warrant by surrendering this Warrant for a number of Shares equal to
the product of (A) the number of Shares in respect of which this Warrant is then

denominator of which is the Fair Market Value per Share on the Exercise Date; and

“HSR Act”), as in effect from time to time. Each of Holder and the Company will
furnish to the other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may
request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission that is necessary
under the HSR Act.

          6. Exercise Under Certain Events. In the event that the Creditors’ Trust Equity
Participation Plan is expected to terminate in accordance with its terms without any payment
thereunder due to a forthcoming Exercise Event involving the sale by Investors of 100% of the
Common Stock held by Investors or a merger, consolidation, or similar transaction involving the
Company, this Warrant, without any further action on the part of the Holder or the Company, shall
automatically be fully exercised in whole immediately prior to the consummation of such Exercise
Event (the “Mandatory Exercise Date”) in exchange for a number of Shares equal to the
product of (A) the Warrant Shares and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the excess of the
Fair Market Value per Share on the Mandatory Exercise Date over the Exercise Price, and the
denominator of which is the Fair Market Value per Share on the Mandatory Exercise Date;
provided, however, that if the Fair Market Value per Share on the Mandatory
Exercise Date is less than the Exercise Price, this Warrant shall automatically be cancelled on
such Mandatory Exercise Date without any payment or future rights to the Holder.

          7. Certificates for Shares; New Warrant. Upon the exercise of the purchase rights
evidenced by this Warrant, one or more certificates for the number of Shares so purchased shall be
issued as soon as practicable thereafter, and in any event within thirty days of the receipt by the
Company of the notice of exercise. If this Warrant is exercised in part, then the Company shall
issue to the Holder a new warrant with identical terms to this Warrant, but with the amount of
Shares subject to such new warrant being reduced by the number of Shares theretofore issued
pursuant to all exercises of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant or any replacement
thereof.

          8. Issuance of Shares. The Company covenants that the Warrant Shares, when issued
pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and free from preemptive or similar rights.

          9. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares. The number of and kind of
securities purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time as follows:

     (a) Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances. If the Company shall at
any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant subdivide the Shares, by split-up or
otherwise, or combine the Shares, or issue additional Shares as a dividend, the number of
Warrant Shares shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of a subdivision or
stock dividend, or proportionately decreased in the case of a combination. Any adjustment
under this Section 90 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the
subdivision or combination becomes effective, or as of the record date of such dividend, or
in the

4

 

event that no record date is fixed, upon the making of such dividend. If the number
of Warrant Shares is adjusted as provided for in this Section 9(a), the Exercise Price
shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price immediately prior to such adjustment by
a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Warrant Shares immediately prior
to such adjustment, and the denominator of which shall be the number of Warrant Shares
immediately after such adjustment.

     (b) Reclassification, Reorganization and Consolidation. In case of any
reclassification, merger, consolidation, capital reorganization, or change in the capital
stock of the Company (other than as a result of a subdivision, combination or stock
dividend provided for in Section 90 above) that is not an Exercise Event, then the Company
shall make appropriate provision so that the Holder shall have the right at any time
thereafter and prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal
to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant in whole for all Warrant Shares, the kind
and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable in connection
with such reclassification, merger, consolidation, reorganization or change by a holder of
the same number of Shares as the number of Warrant Shares immediately prior to such
reclassification, reorganization, or change. In any such case the Board of Directors of
the Company shall determine in good faith other appropriate provisions with respect to the
rights and interests of the Holder so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be
applicable with respect to any securities and property deliverable upon exercise hereof.

     (c) Notice of Adjustment. When any adjustment is required to be made in the
number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant, or in the Exercise
Price, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of such event and of the number of
Shares or other securities or property thereafter purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant
and, if applicable, the adjusted Exercise Price.

     (d) Par Value of Shares. In no event shall the Exercise Price be adjusted
below the par value of the Shares.

          10. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional Shares or scrip representing
fractional Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional
Shares, or scrip representing fractional Shares, the Company shall make a cash payment therefor on
the basis of the Fair Market Value per Share then in effect.

          11. Transferability. Prior to the termination of the Stockholders’ Agreement in
accordance with the terms thereof, the Holder may not transfer this Warrant or any rights hereunder
except either:

     (a) with the prior written consent of Investors I in its sole discretion;

5

 

     (b) to an Affiliate of the Holder with the prior written consent of Investors I (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld); or

     (c) to an Original Stockholder without the consent of Investors I;

provided, however, that in the case of a transfer pursuant to Section 11(b) or (c),
(x) the Company has received prior written notice of the terms of such transfer and (y) the
transferor and transferee to such transfer have provided the Company with absolute written
assurance that the terms of such transfer would remain strictly confidential among such transferor,
transferee and the Company (subject only to disclosure required by applicable law).

          12. Successors and Assigns. This Warrant shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the Holder and its permitted assigns, and shall be binding upon any entity succeeding to
the Company by consolidation, merger or acquisition of all or substantially all of the Company’s
assets. This Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable by the Holder only pursuant to
Section 11.

          13. Rights of Stockholders. The Holder shall not be entitled, as a Warrant holder, to
vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of the Shares or any other securities of the
Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall
anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a
stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter
submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate
action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of
par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to
receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until this Warrant shall have been exercised
and the Shares purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided
herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder shall be entitled to the preemptive rights set
forth in Section 14 hereof.

          14. Preemptive Rights. If the Company makes an offer to issue shares of New Stock (as
defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement) to holders of its Shares pursuant to Section 6 of the
Stockholders’ Agreement, the Company shall offer to each Holder its pro rata share of the New Stock
to be issued (based on its pro rata ownership assuming that (a) the Shares into which the New
Convertible Debt (as defined in the Stockholders’ Agreement) could be converted, and (b) the Shares
into which the Warrants could be exercisable, were outstanding prior to the issuance of such New
Stock), which offer shall be made by written notice from the Company to the Holders. Within 10
Business Days after its receipt of such notice, each Holder shall notify the Company of the number
of shares of New Stock the Holder requests to purchase, subject to a maximum of such Holder’s pro
rata share of such New Stock as described in the immediately preceding sentence (it being
understood and agreed that the Company may make provision for Holders (on a pro rata basis) to
request to purchase more than their respective pro rata shares of such New Stock, to the extent
other Holders, holders of Shares or holders of New Convertible Debt decline to purchase such New Stock). Any

6

 

request by a Holder pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence shall be a final and binding commitment by such Holder to purchase the shares of
New Stock so requested.

          15. Expiration of Warrant. This Warrant shall expire and shall no longer be
exercisable on the earlier of (i) the first Measurement Date on which any amounts become payable by
the Company with respect to the stock appreciation rights outstanding under the Creditors’ Trust
Equity Participation Plan or (ii) subject to the provisions of Section 6, ninety (90) days after
the termination or expiration of the Creditors’ Trust Equity Participation Plan in accordance with
its terms.

          16. Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or sent by facsimile or electronic

SUMMARY OF TERMS OF THE

INTERSTATE BAKERIES CORPORATION

2008 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

The purpose of the Interstate Bakeries Corporation 2008 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the
“2008 Plan”) is to promote the interests of Interstate Bakeries Corporation (the “Company”) and its
stockholders by (i) attracting, incentivizing and retaining exceptional directors, officers,
employees and consultants (including prospective directors, officers, employees and consultants)
and (ii) enabling such individuals to participate in the Company’s long-term growth and financial
success.

Types of Awards. The 2008 Plan will provide for the grant of options intended to qualify as
incentive stock options (“ISOs”) under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “Code”), nonqualified stock options (“NSOs”), stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) that are
settled in cash, stock or a combination of both, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units
(“RSUs”), other equity-based and equity-related awards, and cash-based awards.

Shares Available For Awards. Subject to adjustment for changes in capitalization, the aggregate
number of shares of the Company’s common stock that will be delivered pursuant to awards granted
under the 2008 Plan will be 5,574,232, of which the maximum number of shares that may be delivered
pursuant to ISOs granted under the 2008 Plan will be 5,000,000. If, after the effective date of
the 2008 Plan, any award granted under the 2008 Plan is forfeited, or otherwise expires, terminates
or is canceled without the delivery of shares, then the shares covered by such forfeited, expired,
terminated or canceled award will again become available to be delivered pursuant to other awards
under the 2008 Plan. If shares issued upon exercise, vesting or settlement of an award, or shares
otherwise owned by a participant (which are not subject to any pledge or other security interest)
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
and conditions of the 2008 Plan and any applicable award agreement, such surrendered or tendered
shares will again become available to be delivered pursuant to awards granted under the 2008 Plan,
provided that in no event may such shares increase the number of shares that may be delivered
pursuant to ISOs granted under the 2008 Plan.

Plan Administration. The 2008 Plan will be administered by a committee designated by the Board or,
in the absence of such designation, the Board (such committee or the Board, as the case may be, the
“Committee”). Subject to the terms of the 2008 Plan, the applicable award agreement and applicable
law, the Committee will have sole authority to administer the 2008 Plan, including, but not limited
to, the authority to (1) designate plan participants, (2) determine the type or types of awards to
be granted to a participant, (3) determine the number of shares of common stock to be covered by
awards, (4) determine the terms and conditions of awards, (5) determine the vesting schedules of
awards and, if certain performance criteria were required to be attained in order for an award to
vest or be settled or paid, establish such performance criteria and certify

 

 

whether, and to what extent, such performance criteria have been attained, (6) interpret,
administer, reconcile any inconsistency in, correct any default in and/or supply any omission in,
the 2008 Plan, (7) establish, amend, suspend or waive such rules and regulations and appoint such
agents as it deems appropriate for the proper administration of the 2008 Plan, (8) accelerate the
vesting or exercisability of, payment for or lapse of restrictions on, awards, and (9) make any
other determination and take any other action that the Committee deems necessary or desirable for
the administration of the 2008 Plan.

Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization; Public Offering. If the Company subdivides the shares
of the Company’s common stock, by split-up or otherwise, combines the shares of the Company’s
common stock, or issues additional shares of the Company’s common stock as a dividend, the
Committee will make adjustments and other substitutions to awards granted under the 2008 Plan in
order to preserve the value of such awards and in the manner determined by the Committee. In the
event of any reclassification, reorganization, merger, consolidation, or change in the Company’s
common stock, the Committee will be permitted to make such adjustments and other substitutions to
the 2008 Plan and awards granted under the 2008 Plan as it deems appropriate. In the event of a
public offering of the Company’s common stock, the Company will register shares underlying the 2008
Plan with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Substitute Awards. The Committee will be permitted to grant awards in assumption of, or in
substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by the Company or any of the Company’s
affiliates or a company that the Company acquired or with which the Company combined. Any shares
issued by the Company through the assumption of or substitution for outstanding awards granted by a
company that the Company acquired will not reduce the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s
common stock available for awards under the 2008 Plan, except that awards issued in substitution
for ISOs will reduce the number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for ISOs under
the 2008 Plan.

Source of Shares. Any shares of common stock issued under the 2008 Plan will consist, in whole or
in part, of authorized and unissued shares or of treasury shares.

Eligible Participants. Any director, officer, employee or consultant (including any prospective
director, officer, employee or consultant) of the Company or the Company’s affiliates will be
eligible to participate in the 2008 Plan.

Stock Options. The Committee will be permitted to grant both ISOs and NSOs under the 2008 Plan.
Except as otherwise established by the Committee at the time an option is granted and set forth in
the applicable award agreement, the exercise price for options will not be less than the fair
market value (as defined in the 2008 Plan) of a share of the Company’s common stock on the grant
date. All options granted under the 2008 Plan will be NSOs unless the applicable award agreement
expressly states that the option is intended to be an ISO. No ISO may be granted under the 2008
Plan unless the 2008 Plan

2

 

is approved by the Company’s stockholders within 12 months before or after the 2008 Plan is adopted
by the Board.

Except as otherwise provided in an applicable award agreement, the exercise price will be permitted
to be paid with cash (or its equivalent) or, in the sole discretion of the Committee, with
previously acquired shares of the Company’s common stock or through delivery of irrevocable
instructions to a broker to sell the Company’s common stock otherwise deliverable upon the exercise
of the option (provided that there is a public market for the Company’s common stock at such time),
or, in the sole discretion of the Committee, a combination of any of the foregoing, 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 as of the date of such tender is at least equal to such aggregate exercise
price and any taxes relating to an option required to be withheld by the Company.

Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee will be permitted to grant SARs under the 2008 Plan.
SARs will be permitted to be granted in tandem with another award, in addition to another award or
freestanding and unrelated to another award. Except as otherwise established by the Committee and
set forth in the applicable award agreement, the exercise price for SARs will not be less than the
fair market value (as defined in the 2008 Plan) of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.
Upon exercise of a SAR, the holder will receive cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, other
securities, other awards, other property or a combination of any of the foregoing, as determined by
the Committee, equal in value to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of a share of the
Company’s common stock on the date of exercise of the SAR over the exercise price of the SAR.
Subject to the provisions of the 2008 Plan and the applicable award agreement, the Committee will
determine, at or after the grant of a SAR, the vesting criteria, term, methods of exercise, methods
and form of settlement and any other terms and conditions of any SAR.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the provisions of the 2008 Plan, the
Committee will be permitted to grant shares of restricted stock and RSUs. Restricted stock and
RSUs will not be permitted to be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered
except as provided in the 2008 Plan or the applicable award agreement, except that the Committee
may determine that restricted stock and RSUs will be permitted to be transferred by the
participant.

An RSU will be granted with respect to one share of common stock or have a value equal to the fair
market value of one such share. Upon the lapse of restrictions applicable to an RSU, the RSU will
be paid either in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, other securities, other awards or
other property, as determined by the Committee, or in accordance with the applicable award
agreement. In connection with each grant of restricted stock, except as provided in the applicable
award agreement, the holder will not be entitled to the rights of a stockholder (including the
right to vote and receive dividends) in respect of such restricted stock. The Committee will be
permitted to, on such terms and conditions as it may determine, provide a participant who holds
RSUs

3

 

with dividend equivalents, payable in either cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, other
securities, other awards or other property.

Other Stock-Based Awards. Subject to the provisions of the 2008 Plan, the Committee will be
permitted to grant to participants other equity-based or equity-related compensation awards,
including vested stock. The Committee will be permitted to determine the amounts and terms and
conditions of any such awards.

Cash-Based Awards. Subject to the provisions of the 2008 Plan, the Committee will be permitted to
grant to participants awards that are unrelated to the Company’s common stock. The Committee will
be permitted to determine the amounts and terms and conditions of any such awards.

Stockholders’ Agreement. As a condition to receiving shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant
to an award under the 2008 Plan, participants must agree to be bound by the terms of the
Stockholders’ Agreement (so long as the Stockholders’ Agreement is in effect).

Amendment and Termination of the 2008 Plan. Subject to any applicable law or government
regulation, the 2008 Plan will be permitted to be amended, modified or terminated by the Board
without the approval of stockholders, except that stockholder approval will be required for any
amendment that will (i) increase the maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock
available for awards under the 2008 Plan or increase the maximum number of shares of Company common
stock that could be delivered pursuant to ISOs granted under the 2008 Plan or (ii) change the class
of employees or other individuals eligible to participate in the 2008 Plan. No modification,
amendment or termination of the 2008 Plan may, without the consent of the affected participant,
materially and adversely affect his or her rights under any award, unless otherwise provided in the
applicable award agreement.

The Committee will be permitted to waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or
alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate any award previously granted, prospectively or
retroactively. However, unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the applicable award
agreement or in the 2008 Plan, any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance,
cancellation or termination that will materially and adversely impair the rights of any participant
to any award previously granted will not to that extent be effective without the consent of the
affected participant.

Except as otherwise provided in an applicable award agreement, the Committee will be authorized to
make adjustments to the terms and conditions of awards in the event of any unusual or nonrecurring
corporate event affecting either the Company, any of the Company’s affiliates, the Company’s
financial statements or the financial statements of any of the Company’s affiliates, or of changes
in applicable rules, rulings, regulations or other requirements of any governmental body or
securities exchange, accounting principles or law whenever the Committee, in its discretion,
determines that those adjustments are appropriate or desirable, including providing for the
substitution or

4

 

assumption of awards, accelerating the exercisability of, lapse of restrictions on, or termination
of, awards or providing for a period of time for exercise prior to the occurrence of such event
and, in its discretion, the Committee will be permitted to provide for a cash payment to the holder
of an award in consideration for the cancellation of such award.

Tax. The 2008 Plan will be administered and operated in full compliance of the Code, including but
not limited to Sections 83, 409A, and 422.

Creditors’ Trust.

     3. Documents Implementing Intercreditor Settlement. All documents implementing the
terms of the Intercreditor Settlement, including the TSARs, shall be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Equity Investors, the Creditors’ Committee and the Prepetition
Investors.

     4. Administration of Claims: The Reorganized Debtors will have sole and absolute
discretion in administering, disputing, objecting to, compromising or otherwise resolving all
Claims against the Debtors (the “Claims Administration”); provided,
however, that before the Reorganized Debtors agree to allow a General Unsecured Claim in an
amount greater than $1,000,000, the Reorganized Debtors shall give at least three (3) Business Days
notice (the “Settlement Notice”) to the Creditors’ Trust of their intended agreement and
the basis for the proposed resolution. If the Creditors’ Trust does not elect to assume
responsibility for the Claims Administration of such claim within three (3) Business Days after the
Reorganized Debtors deliver the Settlement Notice, the General Unsecured Claim shall be disposed of
in the manner

3

 

proposed by the Reorganized Debtors. In the event the Creditors’ Trust elects to assume
responsibility for the Claims Administration of a particular General Unsecured Claim within three
(3) Business Days of receiving the Settlement Notice, (a) the Creditors’ Trust shall assume and pay
from the Trust Assets any fees, costs, expenses or other liabilities incurred by the Creditors’
Trust in connection with its Claims Administration of such General Unsecured Claim and (b) the
Reorganized Debtors shall provide reasonable cooperation and assistance to the Trustee and its
representatives with respect to the Claims Administration process relating to such claim.

     5. Cooperation Agreement. The Reorganized Debtors shall have no responsibility to
cooperate hereunder unless the Trustee shall have negotiated in good faith the terms of and
executed by the Effective Date, an agreement (the “Cooperation Agreement”) for the
Creditors’ Trust to compensate the Reorganized Debtors for (i) their reasonable costs and expenses
(excluding attorneys’ fees) associated with the Reorganized Debtors’ resources used to assist the
Creditors’ Trust with respect to Claims Administration of any General Unsecured Claims that the
Creditors’ Trust elects to assume responsibility for, and (ii) the Reorganized Debtors’ reasonable
costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees) associated with the Reorganized Debtors’ resources
used to assist the Creditors’ Trust in the prosecution of the Trust Claims (defined below). In the
event that the Reorganized Debtors and the Trustee cannot agree upon the terms of the Cooperation
Agreement, the Court shall resolve such dispute.

     6. Allowance of Old Convertible Note Claim. The Allowed General Unsecured Claim
for the Old Convertible Notes Claim shall be $100,649,000 (i.e., principal and interest on the Old
Convertible Notes as of the Petition Date).

4

 

     7. Transfer to the Creditors’ Trust. On the Effective Date, the Creditors’ Trust
shall be established and the Trust Assets described below shall be transferred to the Creditors’
Trust for, and on behalf of, the Trust Beneficiaries:

     (a) a cash payment in the amount of $5,000,000;

        (b) documents evidencing cash-settled stock appreciation rights (“TSARs”) (i)
with respect to three percent (3%) of the fully diluted equity interests of the Reorganized
Company as of the Effective Date, (ii) which shall have a strike price equal to $15 per share,
and (iii) which shall otherwise have the same terms as the stock appreciation rights to be
received by the representatives of certain of the Debtors’ unionized work force; and

        (c) (i) those avoidance claims or causes of action described on Exhibit A-2 to the Plan
(collectively, the “Trust Avoidance Claims”) and (ii) claims or causes of action
arising out of, or related directly or indirectly to, a person’s relationship to the Debtors
as a director of certain of the Debtors (and/or their predecessors) and/or their employment as
an officer of the Debtors to the extent such claims or causes of action have not been
previously released or as to which applicable statutes of limitations have not yet expired
(collectively, “D&O Claims” and, together with the Trust Avoidance Claims, the
“Trust Claims”); provided, however, D&O Claims shall not include
claims as to which any present or former director, officer or managing member of any Debtor
would have a right of indemnification against the Reorganized Debtors unless (x) such D&O
Claims are 100% covered by directors and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O
Insurance”) or (y) the applicable indemnitees are otherwise prohibited from prosecuting
such indemnification rights against the Reorganized Debtors; provided,
further, that in connection with the transfer of D&O Claims as contemplated hereby,
the Creditors’ Trust must agree, in a notice to be delivered to the Reorganized Company on the
Effective Date, that the Creditors’ Trust will seek satisfaction of any judgment received by
it with respect to D&O Claims solely from available D&O Insurance and shall not seek
satisfaction of any such judgment from the assets of any defendant.

     8. Structure of the TSARs: The TSARs will contain such terms and/or otherwise be
structured in such a manner so as to assure that neither the Company nor the Creditors’ Trust will
be required to comply with SEC reporting requirements subsequent to the Effective Date.

     9. Payment of Old Convertible Notes Indenture Trustee Fee Claim: On the Effective
Date, the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors shall pay the Old Convertible

5

 

Note Indenture Trustee Fee Claim in cash; provided, however, that no later
than five (5) days prior to the Confirmation Hearing, the Old Convertible Note Indenture Trustee
shall have provided to the Debtors, Equity Investors and the Prepetition Investors copies of
invoices evidencing the fees and expenses incurred by the Old Convertible Note Indenture Trustee
during the Chapter 11 Cases through the Effective Date; provided, further, that the
Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction over any disputes regarding the reasonableness of the
Allowed Old Convertible Note Indenture Trustee Fee Claim. Upon payment of the Old Convertible Note
Indenture Trustee Fee Claim, the Old Convertible Note Indenture Trustee shall forever release,
waive and discharge its “charging” lien with respect to any distribution that may be made to any
holder of Old Convertible Notes pursuant to the Creditors’ Trust.

     10. Release of Claims: On the Effective Date, pursuant to this Agreement and the
Plan, and upon the transfer of the Trust Assets to the Creditors’ Trust, the Lien Avoidance Action
shall be dismissed with prejudice and any and all claims of the Debtors (and those claiming
derivatively through the Debtors) against the Pre-Petition Lenders including, but not limited to,
(a) claims against the Pre-Petition Lenders asserted or that could have been asserted by the
Debtors in the Lien Avoidance Action, (b) the Preserved Claims, (c) challenges with respect to the
extent, amount, validity and priority of the Pre-Petition Lenders’ liens and security interests and
(d) claims that the adequate protection payments made to the Pre-Petition Lenders during the
Bankruptcy Cases should be recharacterized as principal payments and applied to reduce the
Prepetition Lenders’ secured claims, shall be fully and forever released. The transfer of Trust
Assets to be made to the Creditors’ Trust and the payment of the Old Convertible Note Indenture

6

 

Trustee Fee Claim shall also be in full and complete release and satisfaction of any and all
claims that could be prosecuted by any party in interest in the Bankruptcy Cases including the
Debtors, the Creditors’ Committee, its members and the Prepetition Lenders with respect to
substantive consolidation of the Debtors’ estates. All distributions to the Old Convertible Notes
Indenture Trustee or to the holders of Old Convertible Notes Claims pursuant to this Agreement,
including distributions from the Creditors’ Trust, shall be free and clear of any contractual
rights of subordination set forth in the Old Convertible Notes Indenture.

     11. Other Matters.

        (a) Prior to the Effective Date, the Debtors will use their reasonable best efforts to
provide to the Creditors’ Committee the information necessary (including payment history,
correspondence, files, bank statements, proof of payment, invoices and delivery documents
relating to any new value defense, and related documents) for the Creditors’ Trust to
prosecute the Trust Avoidance Claims.

        (b) Prior to the Effective Date, the Creditors’ Committee may give notice to the
Pre-Petition Investors of those holders of General Unsecured Claims who may be interested in
participating in the New Term Loan (“Creditor Participants”), provided, however, the
Creditors Committee shall be under no obligation to actively solicit or recommend any Creditor
Participants. The Debtors, the Pre-Petition Investors and the Creditors’ Committee shall
agree to a process whereby qualified parties will be notified of the opportunity to
participate in the New Term Loan. The Pre-Petition Investors shall offer the Creditor
Participants the right to participate in the New Term Loan in an amount collectively not to
exceed ten (10%) percent of the aggregate principal amount thereof provided that such
participation by a Creditor Participant shall not require the Reorganized Debtors to register
any securities with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and subject in all
respects to Equity Investors’ right to approve lenders participating in the New Term Loan.

     12. Conditions Precedent to Compromise of Controversies. The Compromise of
Controversies as set forth in this Order shall be effective upon confirmation of the Plan and
occurrence of the Effective Date.

7

 

     13. No Admission. The Compromise of Controversies set forth in this Order is the
result of a compromise and accord and nothing contained herein shall be construed as an admission
of liability or wrongdoing on the part of any party or their respective affiliates, shareholders,
directors, trustees, officers, agents, representatives, employees, members, successors or assigns.

     14. Reporting Requirements: The Trustee shall provide, either by mail or through
access to a website, annual status reports to the Trust Beneficiaries. Each annual status report
shall contain a comprehensive summary of all activity by the reporting party during the previous
year, a summary of the professional fees sought and obtained in the prior year and a summary of
cash receipts and disbursements of the Trustee, a summary of cash receipts and disbursements of the
Creditors’ Trust, a summary of the distributions made to the Trust Beneficiaries and such other
information as the Trustee deems appropriate for inclusion or as reasonably requested by the
parties to whom such reports are to be submitted.

     15. The Debtors are hereby authorized to take such actions as are reasonably necessary to
fulfill the terms of the Compromise of Controversies as set forth in this Order.

     16. This Court shall retain jurisdiction over all matters arising from or related to the
implementation of this Order.

otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Commitment Letter”;
capitalized terms used but undefined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Commitment
Letter), to which this Annex I-A is attached. Each signatory below or to a counterpart hereof, on

Each Plan Supporter hereby agrees that, in its capacity as a lender party to the Prepetition

Plan and the Disclosure Statement, (b) shall not support any other plan of reorganization or
liquidation or any other proposal that is inconsistent with the Plan and (c) shall not sell,

amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time) is in full force and effect;

     (ii) the Plan, the Disclosure Statement and all material instruments and agreements
implementing the transactions contemplated by the Plan reflect the terms and conditions outlined in
the Plan Term Sheet, do not contain any terms that are inconsistent with those outlined in the Plan

Investors, and no provision of the Plan (as filed with the Bankruptcy Court) has been amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified in a manner that is not in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Prepetition Investors; and

     (iii) the Effective Date and closing of the Transaction occurs not later than February 9,
