or violation of any agreement relating to its material Indebtedness or under any mortgage, deed of
trust, security agreement or lease to which it is a party or in any default or violation of any

creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any of the properties of the Investor or

and complete copy of the binding commitment from KKR 2006 Fund (Overseas) Limited Partnership (the

However, in the case of exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall not be required to pay any tax
or duty that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares
of Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder of the Warrants to be exercised, and no
such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to
the Company the amount of any such tax or duty, or has established to the satisfaction of the
Company that such tax or duty has been paid.
6.5 Information Rights/Management Rights. For as long as the KKR Holders hold at
least 10% of the Warrant Amount, the Company shall provide KKR with the following information (in
addition to the reports required to be provided under the Indenture):
(a) unaudited quarterly (as soon as available and in any event within 40 days of the end of
each quarter) and audited (by a nationally recognized accounting firm) annual (as soon as available
and in any event within 60 days of the end of each year) financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States as in effect from
time to time, which statements shall include:
(i) the consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the related
consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity (with respect to annual reports
only) and cash flows;
(ii) a comparison to the corresponding data for the corresponding periods of the
previous fiscal year;
(iii) a reasonably detailed narrative descriptive report of the operations of the
Company and its Subsidiaries in the form and to the extent prepared for presentation to the
senior management of the Company for the applicable period and for the period from the
beginning of the then current fiscal year to the end of such period;
16
(iv) to the extent the Company is required by law or pursuant to the terms of any
outstanding indebtedness of the Company to prepare such reports, any annual reports,
quarterly reports and other periodic reports pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act actually prepared by the Company as soon as available (provided, that any such
reports shall be deemed to have been provided when such reports are publicly available via
the Commission’s XXXXX system or any successor to the XXXXX system);
(b) unaudited monthly written reports, including a comparison to corresponding data from the
Company’s financial plan, that are prepared for and provided in the ordinary course to the Board as
soon as available in the form and in the manner so provided to the Board; and

Additionally, the Company shall permit any authorized representatives designated by KKR
reasonable access during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice to visit and inspect any
of the properties of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including its and their books of
account, and to discuss its and their affairs, finances and accounts with its and their officers,
all at such times as KKR may reasonably request, provided, however, that the
Company shall not be obligated pursuant to this paragraph to provide access to any information that
it reasonably and in good faith, after receiving the advice of Company counsel, determines that
such exclusion is necessary (A) in order to preserve the Company’s attorney-client privilege, (B)
to prevent the disclosure of third party confidential information where the Company is under a
contractual duty to preserve the confidentiality of such information in connection with any
transaction or arrangement between the Company and such third party, (C) because there exists, or
is reasonably expected to exist, a direct or potential conflict of interest between KKR and the
Company with respect to a transaction or arrangement or (D) to prevent the disclosure of a Company
trade secret or confidential information (unless covered by an enforceable confidentiality
agreement, in form acceptable to the Company).
Subject to Section 6.6 below, the Board Nominees will be permitted to share information
received from the Company with officers, directors, members, employees and representatives of KKR
and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (which, for the avoidance of doubt, excludes KKR portfolio
companies) and KKR and such Subsidiaries may use such information for internal purposes;
provided that KKR maintains reasonable procedures designed to prevent such information from
being used in connection with the purchase or sale of securities of the Company in violation of
applicable securities laws and that such information is not used to compete with the Company.
The provisions of this Section are intended in part to permit each KKR Holder’s investment in
the Company to qualify as a “venture capital investment” for purposes of Department of Labor
Regulation section 2510.3-101.
6.6 Confidentiality. KKR and each KKR Holder, on behalf of themselves and their
respective directors, officers, employees, general partners (but not limited partners), agents,
representatives and other advisors (including financial advisors, attorneys,
17
accountants and other
consultants) (collectively, “Representatives”) who receive confidential information concerning the
Company from the Company (such information “Confidential Information”), agrees that it will keep
confidential and will not disclose, divulge, or use for any purpose (other than to monitor its
investment in the Company) any Confidential Information pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
unless such Confidential Information (a) is known or becomes known to the public in general (other
than as a result of a breach of this Section 6.6 by KKR or such KKR Holder), (b) was within KKR or
such KKR Holder’s possession prior to it being furnished to KKR or such KKR Holder or their
respective Representatives by the Company or any of their respective Representatives, provided such
information was reasonably not known by KKR or the KKR Holder to be bound by a confidentiality,
non-disclosure or other similar agreement with the Company or other contractual, legal or fiduciary
obligation of confidentiality to the Company, (c) is or has been independently developed or
conceived by KKR or the KKR Holder without use of the Company’s confidential information, or (d) is
or has been made known or disclosed to KKR or the KKR Holder by a third party without, to KKR or
the KKR Holder’s reasonable knowledge, a breach of any obligation of confidentiality such third
party may have to the Company.
6.7 Withholding Tax. Prior to the first interest payment date on the Notes, the
Investor or any permitted assignee of the Investor which is not organized under the laws of the
United States or a state thereof shall deliver to the Company (x) a certificate in form reasonably
acceptable to the Company that such Person is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section
881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and is not, nor is any of such Person’s beneficial owners, a “10-percent
shareholder” within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, and (y) two accurate and
complete original signed copies of the appropriate series of United States Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8 (or successor form), or (z) the documentation required in clause (y) or such other
certification, forms or documents reasonably satisfactory to the Company, establishing the
entitlement of the Investor and its beneficial owners, as applicable to a complete exemption from
the above-referenced deduction or withholding. The Investor and any permitted assignee of the
Investor further agrees thereafter (i) promptly to notify the Company of any change of
circumstances which would prevent such Person and its beneficial owners, as applicable, from
receiving payments under the Notes without any deduction or withholding of United States federal
income taxes and (ii) if such Person has not so notified the Company of any change of circumstances
which would prevent such Person and its beneficial owners, as applicable, from receiving payments
hereunder without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income taxes, then on or
before the date that any certificate or other form previously delivered hereunder expires or
becomes obsolete, or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent such
certificate or form previously delivered, to deliver to the Company a new certificate or form,
certifying that such Person and its beneficial owners, as applicable, are entitled to receive
payments under this Agreement without deduction of United States federal income taxes. In the
absence of such valid certificates or forms, the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold
any amounts as may be required by applicable law.
7. Right of Purchase.
7.1 Certain Definitions Used in this Section.
18
(a) New Securities. “New Securities” means any equity securities of the Company;
provided, however, that the term “New Securities” does not include:
(i) Securities issued pursuant to this Agreement and securities issued upon conversion
of the Warrants;
(ii) securities issued to employees, consultants, officers and directors of the
Company, pursuant to equity compensation plans approved by the Board or grants of options
outside of such plans approved by the Board;
(iii) securities issued or issuable pursuant to any rights or agreements, including,
without limitation, convertible securities, options and warrants, provided that
either (x) the Company shall have complied with the purchase right established by this
Section with respect to the initial sale or grant by the Company of such rights or
agreements, or (y) such rights or agreements existed prior to the Company’s obligations
under this Section (it being understood that any modification or amendment to any such
pre-existing right or agreement subsequent to the date of this Agreement with the effect of
increasing the percentage of the Company’s fully-diluted securities underlying such rights
agreement shall not be included in this clause (iii)(y));
(iv) securities issued in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, subdivision,
combination, reclassification, exchange, recapitalization or similar transactions by the
Company;
(v) securities issued pursuant to the acquisition of another business entity by the
Company by merger, purchase of substantially all of the assets or shares, or other
reorganization;
(vi) securities issued in connection with sponsored research, collaboration, technology
license, development, original equipment manufacturer, marketing, joint venture investment
or other similar agreements, strategic alliances or strategic transactions;
(vii) capital stock issued in satisfaction of indebtedness or other liability or in
exchange for indebtedness; and
(viii) any right, option, or warrant to acquire any security convertible into the
securities excluded from the definition of New Securities pursuant to clauses (i) through
(vii) above.
(b) Pro Rata Portion. “Pro Rata Portion” means, for any KKR Holder, a ratio equal to
(x) the sum of the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock held by such KKR Holder
immediately prior to the issuance of New Securities, assuming full exercise of the Warrants and all
Company securities exercisable and/or convertible into the Company’s Common Stock then held by such
KKR Holder, over (y) the sum of the total number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock then
outstanding, assuming full exercise and/or conversion of all Company securities exercisable and/or
convertible into the Company’s Common Stock then outstanding.
19
7.2 Right of Purchase.
(a) Grant of Right of First Offer. For as long as the KKR Holders hold at least 10%
of the Warrant Amount, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Section, the Company
grants to each KKR Holder a purchase right to purchase such KKR Holder’s Pro Rata Portion
calculated as of the date of delivery of such notice pursuant to Section 7.2(b) of any New
Securities actually issued which the Company may, from time to time, propose to issue and sell.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that New Securities are being offered within 12 months
of the date of this Agreement pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act (the
“Registered Offering”), each KKR Holder will be entitled to purchase its portion of New Securities
in a simultaneous private placement with the Registered Offering, but otherwise on the same terms
as the Registered Offering, to the extent an exemption from registration is available at such time.
If no exemption from registration shall be available at such time, then the rights contemplated by
this Section 7 will not apply to the issuance of such New Securities in the Registered Offering.
(b) Notice of Right. In the event the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of
New Securities, it shall give each KKR Holder written notice of its intention, describing the type
of New Securities and the price and terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same. Each
KKR Holder shall have twenty (20) days from the date of delivery of any such notice to agree to
purchase up to such KKR Holder’s Pro Rata Portion of such New Securities, for the price and upon
the terms specified in the notice, by delivering written notice to the Company and stating therein
the quantity of New Securities to be purchased.
(c) Lapse and Reinstatement of Right. The Company shall have sixty (60) days
following the twenty- (20-) day period described in Section 7.2(b) to sell or enter into an
agreement (pursuant to which the sale of New Securities covered thereby shall be closed, if at all,
within thirty (30) days from the date of said agreement) to sell the New Securities with respect to
which the KKR Holders’ purchase right was not exercised, at a price and upon terms no more
favorable to the purchasers of such securities than specified in the Company’s notice. In the
event the Company has not sold the New Securities or entered into an agreement to sell the New
Securities within said sixty- (60-) day period (or sold and issued New Securities in accordance
with the foregoing within thirty (30) days from the date of said agreement), the Company shall not
thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first offering such securities to the KKR
Holders in the manner provided above.
(d) Post Closing Notice. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7 to the contrary,
if the Board determines in good faith that the Company’s ability to consummate the issuance of New
Securities would be adversely impacted by virtue of compliance with the advance notice provisions
contained in Section 7.2(b), the Company may issue such New Securities without providing such
notice and without regard to the provisions of this Section 7 prior to such issuance. After the
issuance of such New Securities without providing such advance notice in reliance on this paragraph
(d), the Company shall provide the KKR Holders written notice (the “Post Closing Notice”) of the
fact that the Company issued New Securities, that such transaction has been consummated, and that
the notice required by Section 7.2(b) was not provided in reliance on this Section 7(d). The Post
Closing Notice shall
20
set forth the number and type of New Securities issued, and the price and the
terms upon which such New Securities were issued. Each KKR Holder shall have twenty (20) days from
the delivery of such Post Closing Notice to elect to purchase up to such KKR Holder’s Pro Rata
Portion of such New Securities, for the price and upon the terms specified in such Post Closing
Notice, and the closing of such sale to the KKR Holders so electing shall be consummated as
promptly as practicable thereafter but in no event later than 10 business days after the date on
which the KKR Holders’ response was due.
8. Standstill. (a) Each of the KKR Holders and KKR agrees that, until the date that
is six months after the Nomination Expiration Time (as defined below), without the prior consent of
the Board (excluding any Board Nominees), it shall not, and none of KKR’s Affiliates that has the
right to receive or has received any material non-public information (each KKR Holder, KKR and each
such Affiliate of KKR, collectively, “KKR Restricted Persons”) shall, directly or indirectly
(including by directing or causing any Person that is not a KKR Person to):
(i) acquire or agree to acquire Beneficial Ownership of securities of any class or kind
ordinarily having the power to vote generally for the election of directors, managers or
other voting members of the governing body of the Company or any successor thereto (“Voting
Stock”) or authorize or make any offer to acquire Voting Stock, if the effect of such
acquisition, agreement or offer (if consummated) would be to increase the percentage of the
Voting Stock represented by all shares of Voting Stock Beneficially Owned by all KKR
Restricted Persons, in the aggregate, to 20% or more of the Voting Stock outstanding;
(ii) make, or in any way participate, directly or indirectly, in any “solicitation” of
“proxies” to vote (as such terms are used in the rules of the Commission), or seek to advise
or influence any Person with respect to the voting of any Voting Stock (other than in
accordance with and consistent with the recommendation of the Board related to a change of
control);
(iii) form, join or in any way participate in a “group” as defined in Section 13(d)(3)
of the Exchange Act, or otherwise act in concert with any Third Person for the purpose of
acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of any securities of the Company (excluding any
“group” that may be formed by or among the Holders in respect of acquiring, holding, voting
or disposing of any of the Notes, Warrants, Warrant Shares or any New Securities acquired
pursuant to Section 7); or
(iv) publicly announce or propose or submit to the Company a proposal or offer
concerning a change of control of the Company.
(b) The restrictions set forth in Section 8(a) will cease to apply if any of the following
occurs:
(i) a third party who is not a KKR Restricted Person (a “Third Party”) acquires
Beneficial Ownership of or initiates a tender offer for more than 50% of the outstanding
Voting Stock; or
21
(ii) the Company enters into an agreement pursuant to which a Third Party would acquire
all or substantially all of the stock or assets of the Company or the Company would be
merged or consolidated with another Person, unless immediately following the consummation of
such transaction the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to the consummation of
such transaction would continue to hold (in substantially the same proportion as their
ownership of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to the transaction) more than 50%
of all of the outstanding Common Stock or other securities entitled to vote for the election
of directors of the surviving or resulting entity in such transaction or any direct or
indirect parent thereof.
(c) Nothing in clause (iv) of Section 8(a) shall be construed to prohibit a Board Nominee, in
good faith and in the performance of his or her fiduciary duties as a member of the Board, from
confidentially discussing a proposal made by the Company or a Third Party concerning any
extraordinary transaction involving the Company or any successor thereto, any Subsidiary or
division thereof, or any of their securities or assets, with the Board and representatives of the
Company and its advisors who are involved in the evaluation or execution of any such proposal on
behalf of the Company.
(d) Notwithstanding Section 8(a)(i), upon an increase in the Beneficial Ownership percentage
of KKR Restricted Persons to an amount in excess of 20% of the Voting Stock outstanding resulting
solely from a repurchase or redemption of Voting Stock by the Company or any similar transaction
that reduces the number of outstanding shares of Voting Stock of the Company, neither KKR nor any
other KKR Restricted Person shall be required to dispose of any Securities Beneficially Owned by
them; provided, however, that in such event, neither KKR nor any other KKR
Restricted Person may acquire Beneficial Ownership of additional Voting Stock unless the Beneficial
Ownership percentage of all KKR Restricted Persons, in the aggregate, would, following such
acquisition, be an amount below 20% of the Voting Stock outstanding.
9. Board Matters.
(a) At or prior to the Closing, the Board shall expand its size by two members, if necessary,
to create a vacancy for two qualified nominees of KKR. KKR shall have the right to designate,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 9, the number of nominees to the Board as set
forth below in Section 9(e) (each a “Board Nominee”). The Board shall in good faith consider
whether any such nominee is (i) qualified and suitable to serve as a member of the Board under all
applicable corporate governance policies and guidelines of the Company and the Board and applicable
legal, regulatory and stock exchange requirements and (ii) meets the independence requirements of
the NYSE and any other stock exchange on which the Common Stock may be listed in the future. The
Board and the appropriate committees of the Board shall conduct the consideration of the
qualifications, suitability and independence of the Board Nominees, and make any determinations
with respect thereto in a manner consistent with considerations and determinations in respect of
other members of the Board. KKR shall cause each Board Nominee to make himself or herself
reasonably available for interviews, to consent to such reference and background checks or other
investigations and to provide such information (including information necessary to determine the
nominee’s independence status under various requirements and institutional investor guidelines as
well as information necessary
22
to determine any disclosure obligations of the Company) as the Board
or any committee thereof may reasonably request; provided that in each such case, all such
interviews, investigations and information is generally required to be delivered to the Company by
the other outside directors of the Company. If the Board determines that the Board Nominees are
qualified and suitable to serve as a member of the Board under all applicable corporate governance
policies and guidelines of the Company and the Board and applicable legal, regulatory and stock
exchange requirements, then the Board shall appoint such initial Board Nominees to the Board.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that such review with respect to the
initial two Board Nominees will be completed as of the Closing. Provided that the Board Nominees
then meet such requirements, and so long as KKR shall continue to be entitled to nominate directors
pursuant to Section 9(e), the Company shall nominate the Board Nominees for re-election as
directors at the end of each term of such Board Nominee as part of the slate proposed by the
Company that is included in the proxy statement (or consent solicitation or similar document) of
the Company relating to the election of the Board. In the event that a Board Nominee ceases to be
a member of the Board, so long as KKR shall be entitled to nominate directors pursuant to Section
9(e), KKR may select another person as a designee for Board Nominee to fill the vacancy created
thereby and, if the Board determines that such nominee meets the criteria set forth above, such
designee shall become a Board Nominee and shall be appointed by the Board to fill such vacancy.
Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time following
Closing, a Board Nominee is not a member of the Board for any reason and a new Board Nominee has
not been appointed, the Board Nominee shall instead be an observer at meetings of the Board and all
committees thereof on which another Board Nominee does not sit.
(b) One Board Nominee will have the right to be appointed by the Board to sit on each regular
committee of the Board, subject to such Board Nominee satisfying applicable legal, regulatory and
stock exchange requirements. If no Board Nominee satisfies the applicable legal, regulatory and
stock exchange requirements to sit on any particular committee of the Board, then the Board shall
permit such Board Nominee to attend (but not vote) at the meetings of such committee as an
observer, unless such attendance would result in a conflict or violate any of the applicable
corporate governance policies and guidelines or applicable legal, regulatory or stock exchange
requirements.
(c) It shall be a condition to the appointment or nomination for election or re-election of
any Board Nominee that such Board Nominee tender a conditional resignation letter prior to his or
her appointment or nomination for election or re-election to the Board providing such Board
Nominee’s irrevocable offer of resignation from the Board effective upon the earlier of (i) the
date on which KKR shall no longer be entitled to nominate two (2) directors to the Board, it being
agreed and understood that if KKR shall thereafter remain entitled to nominate one (1) director,
KKR shall inform the Company as to which Board Nominee’s resignation shall be tendered, (ii) such
director no longer being an Affiliate of KKR, and (iii) the failure by such Board Nominee to gain a
majority vote during an uncontested election at an annual meeting pursuant to and in accordance
with the Board’s Majority Vote Policy.
(d) The Board Nominees shall be subject to the policies and requirements of the Company and
the Board, including the Corporate Governance Guidelines of the Board and the Company’s Business
Conduct Guide, in a manner consistent with the
23
application of such policies and requirements to
other members of the Board. The Company shall compensate the Board Nominees, reimburse their
expenses, indemnify them, and provide them with director and officer insurance to the same extent
it compensates, reimburses, indemnifies and provides insurance for the other outside members of the
Board pursuant to its organizational documents, applicable law or otherwise. The Company agrees
that such indemnification arrangements will provide for a minimum insurance coverage of $50 million
and will provide that such indemnification will be the primary source of indemnification and
advancement of expenses in connection with the matters covered thereby and payment thereon will be
made before, offset and reduce any other indemnity or expense advancement to which a Board Nominee
may be entitled or which is actually paid in connection with such matters, including as an employee
of KKR or any of its Affiliates.
(e) So long as the KKR Holders Beneficially Own at least 50% of the Warrant Amount, KKR shall
have the right to designate two (2) Board Nominees. If the KKR Holders Beneficially Own less than
50% but at least 25% of the Warrant Amount, KKR shall thereafter have the right to designate only
one (1) Board Nominee. At such time as the KKR Holders Beneficially Own less than 25% of the
Warrant Amount (the “Nomination Expiration Time”), KKR shall no longer have the right to designate
any Board Nominees.
10. Termination.
10.1 Termination of Agreement Prior to Closing. This Agreement may be terminated at
any time prior to the Closing:
(a) by either the Investor or the Company if the Closing shall not have occurred by December
31, 2009; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this
Section 10.1(a) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under
this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of the Closing
to occur on or prior to such date;
(b) by either the Investor or the Company in the event that any Governmental Authority shall
have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or
otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such order, decree,
ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; or
(c) by the mutual written consent of the Investor and the Company.
10.2 Effect of Termination Prior to Closing. In the event of termination of this
Agreement as provided in Section 10.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall

Agreement shall relieve either party from liability for any breach of any covenant of this
Agreement, (ii) Section 6.6, Section 11 and Section 12 and this Section 10.2 shall survive any
termination of this Agreement, and (iii) in the event of a termination pursuant to Section 10.1(a)
or (b), the Company will promptly pay KKR the Placement Fee and will remain responsible for the
expense provisions of the Expense Letter in accordance with the terms thereof.
24

thereafter communicate in a manner consistent with the statements in such press release. No other
written public release or written public announcement concerning the purchase of Securities
contemplated hereby shall be issued by any party without the prior written consent of the other
party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), except as such release or announcement
may be required by law or the rules or regulations of any securities exchange, in which case the
party required to make the release or announcement shall, to the extent reasonably practicable,
allow the other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such
issuance. The provisions of this Section shall not restrict the ability of a party to summarize or
describe the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any required report, prospectus or
similar offering document so long as the other party is provided a reasonable opportunity to review
such disclosure in advance.

ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT
ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH
PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT
OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY
CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS

SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE
IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (iv) EACH PARTY

contained in this Agreement shall terminate upon the first to occur of (x) the Closing (it being

Section 4.2) or (y) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof.
12.4 Enforcement of Agreement. The parties to this Agreement agree that irreparable
damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in
accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached. The parties to this Agreement
further agree that irreparable damage to the Company would occur in the event that the commitment
of KKR 2006 Fund (Overseas) Limited Partnership in the Commitment Letter is not performed in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Commitment Letter or the Commitment Letter is
otherwise breached by KKR 2006 Fund (Overseas) Limited Partnership. It is accordingly agreed that
(i) the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this
Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement and (ii) the
Company shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the Commitment
Letter and to enforce specifically the rights of KKR Jet Stream (Cayman) Limited under the
Commitment Letter in accordance with its terms and conditions, in each case in any Federal court
sitting in the County of New York, in the State of New York (or, solely to the extent that no such
Federal court has jurisdiction over such suit, action or proceeding, in any New York State court
sitting in the County of New York, in the State of New York), this being in addition to any other
remedy to which any party is entitled at law or in equity. Additionally, each party to this
Agreement irrevocably waives any defenses based on adequacy of any other remedy, whether at law or
in equity, that might be asserted as a bar to the remedy of specific performance of any of the
terms or provisions of this Agreement or injunctive relief in any action brought therefore.

provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors,
assigns, heirs, executors, and administrators of the parties to this Agreement; provided,
however, the rights of the Investor to purchase the Securities at the Closing under this
Agreement shall not be assignable to any Person without the consent of the Company; provided
further, that the Investor shall be permitted, without the consent of the Company, to assign
all or a portion of its rights and obligations to purchase Securities at the Closing to one or more
KKR Funds or Accounts or one or more Persons which are wholly owned by KKR Funds or Accounts (each
a “Permitted Assignee”), in which case such Permitted Assignee shall become party to this Agreement
by execution of a joinder to this Agreement and each such Permitted Assignee shall thereafter
constitute an “Investor” for all purposes hereunder as if it were an Investor as of the date of
this Agreement; provided further, that any assignment to a Permitted Assignee pursuant to
the preceding proviso shall not relieve the assigning Investor of its obligation to purchase
Securities at the Closing until the Closing has occurred and such Permitted Assignee has funded its
obligation to purchase Securities hereunder.
12.6 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is
intended to confer on any Person other than the parties to this Agreement any rights, remedies,
obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, and no Person that is not a party
to this Agreement (including without limitation any partner, member, shareholder, director,
officer, employee or other beneficial owner of any party to this Agreement,
26
in its own capacity as
such or in bringing a derivative action on behalf of a party to this Agreement) shall have any
standing as third party beneficiary with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby; provided, however, that future Holders shall have the rights of the Holders
set forth in this Agreement.

construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any
similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or
default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any
waiver, permit, consent, or approval of any kind or character on the part of any Holder of any
breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any holder of any provisions
or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent

and Majority KKR Holders. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this paragraph shall
be binding upon each Holder of any Securities purchased under this Agreement at the time
outstanding (including securities into which such Securities are exercisable), each future Holder

12.12 Effect of Amendment or Waiver. Each Holder and its successors and assigns

SCHEDULE OF INTEREST RATE AND OID TERMS
I. Interest Rate:
(A) The cash interest rate will be determined by the following formula:
10.00% + ((Aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes - $300,000,000) / 100,000,000 ) * 0.50% )
For illustration purposes only the following is an example of the above calculation but does not
reflect the actual calculation of the cash interest rate to be applied to the Notes or the
Aggregate Principal Amount of Notes to be purchased:
Example: If the Aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes is $330,000,000, the cash interest on the
Notes will be 10.00% + (($330,000,000 - 300,000,000) / 100,000,000) * 0.50%) = 10.15%
(B) The pay-in-kind (PIK) interest rate will be determined by the following formula:
0.50% - ((aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes Offering - $400,000,000 ) / 200,000,000 )
* 1.00% ))
For illustration purposes only the following is an example of the above calculation but does not
reflect the actual calculation of the PIK interest rate to be applied to the Notes or the aggregate
principal amount of the Convertible Notes Offering:
Example: If the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes Offering is $300,000,000, the
PIK Interest rate on the Notes will be 0.50% - (($300,000,000 – 400,000,000) / 200,000,000) *
1.00%) = 0.50% - (-100,000,000 / 200,000,000 * 1.00%)) = 0.50% - (-0.50 * 1.00%) = 1.00%
