Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Purchase Contract Agent, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Purchase Contract Agent shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

Section 1.11. Governing Law; Waiver of Trial by Jury. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE UNITS AND THE PURCHASE CONTRACTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF TO THE EXTENT THAT A DIFFERENT LAW WOULD GOVERN AS A RESULT.

EACH PARTY HERETO, AND EACH HOLDER OF A UNIT BY ACCEPTANCE THEREOF, HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 1.12. Legal Holidays. In any case where any Payment Date shall not be a Business Day (notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Units), Contract Adjustment Payments, deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon), and other distributions shall not be paid on such date, but Contract Adjustment Payments, deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) and such other distributions shall be paid on the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on such scheduled Payment Date; provided that if such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, the payment date for Contract Adjustment Payments or other distributions shall be brought forward to the immediately preceding Business Day; provided further that no interest or other amount shall accrue or be payable by the Company or to any Holder in respect of any such delay.

In any case where the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or any Early Settlement Date, Triggered Early Settlement Date or Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date shall not be a Business Day (notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Units), Purchase Contracts shall not be performed and Early Settlement, Triggered Early Settlement or Fundamental Change Early Settlement shall not be effected on such date, but Purchase Contracts shall be performed or Early Settlement, Triggered Early Settlement or Fundamental Change Early Settlement shall be effected, as applicable, on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Purchase Contract Settlement Date, Early Settlement Date, Triggered Early Settlement Date or Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date, as applicable.

Section 1.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts by the parties hereto, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

The exchange of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages by facsimile or PDF transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes.

No failure on the part of the Company, the Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent, the Securities Intermediary or any of their respective agents to exercise, and no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Company, the Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent, the Securities Intermediary or any of their respective agents of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

The Certificates shall be issuable only in registered form and only in denominations of a single Corporate Unit, Treasury Unit or Cash Settled Unit and any integral multiple thereof.

Section 3.02. Rights and Obligations Evidenced by the Certificates. Each Corporate Units Certificate shall evidence the number of Corporate Units specified therein, with each such Corporate Unit representing (1) the ownership by the Holder thereof of an Applicable Ownership Interest in Notes or an Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, subject to the Pledge of such Applicable Ownership Interest in Notes or Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio), as the case may be, by such Holder pursuant to this Agreement, and (2) the rights and obligations of the Holder thereof and the Company under one Purchase Contract. The Purchase Contract Agent is hereby authorized, as attorney-in-fact for, and on behalf of, the Holder of each Corporate Unit, to pledge, pursuant to Article 11 hereof, the Applicable Ownership Interest in Notes, or the Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio), forming a part of such Corporate Unit to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Company, and to grant to the Collateral Agent, as agent of and for the benefit of the Company, a security interest in the right, title and interest of such Holder in such Applicable Ownership Interest in Notes or such Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio to secure the obligation of the Holder under each Purchase Contract to purchase shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. To effect such Pledge and grant such security interest, the Purchase Contract Agent on behalf of the Holders of Corporate Units has, on the date hereof, delivered to the Collateral Agent the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes.

Upon the formation of a Treasury Unit pursuant to Section 3.13, each Treasury Units Certificate shall evidence the number of Treasury Units specified

therein, with each such Treasury Unit representing (1) the ownership by the Holder thereof of an undivided beneficial ownership interest in a Pro Rata Portion of the Treasury Unit Collateral, subject to the Pledge of such interest by such Holder pursuant to this Agreement, and (2) the rights and obligations of the Holder thereof and the Company under one Purchase Contract. The Purchase Contract Agent is hereby authorized, as attorney-in-fact for, and on behalf of, the Holder of each Treasury Unit, to pledge, pursuant to Article 11 hereof, such Holder’s interest in the Pro Rata Portion of the Treasury Unit Collateral forming a part of such Treasury Unit to the Collateral Agent, as agent of and for the benefit of the Company, and to grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Company, a security interest in the right, title and interest of such Holder in such Pro Rata Portion of the Treasury Unit Collateral to secure the obligation of the Holder under each Purchase Contract to purchase shares of Convertible Preferred Stock.

Upon the formation of a Cash Settled Unit pursuant to Section 3.14, each Cash Settled Units Certificate shall evidence the number of Cash Settled Units specified therein, with each such Cash Settled Unit representing (1) the ownership by the Holder thereof of $100 Cash, subject to the Pledge of such Cash by such Holder pursuant to this Agreement, and (2) the rights and obligations of the Holder thereof and the Company under one Purchase Contract. The Purchase Contract Agent is hereby authorized, as attorney-in-fact for, and on behalf of, the Holder of each Cash Settled Unit, to pledge, pursuant to Article 11 hereof, such Holder’s Cash forming a part of such Cash Settled Unit to the Collateral Agent, as agent of and for the benefit of the Company, and to grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Company, a security interest in the right, title and interest of such Holder in such Cash to secure the obligation of the Holder under each Purchase Contract to purchase shares of Convertible Preferred Stock.

Prior to the purchase of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock under each Purchase Contract, such Purchase Contracts shall not entitle the Holder of a Unit to any of the rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock or Convertible Preferred Stock, including, without limitation, the right to vote or receive any dividends or other payments or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder in respect of the meetings of shareholders or for the election of directors of the Company or for any other matter, or any other rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company.

Section 3.03. Execution, Authentication; Delivery and Dating. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.13, Section 3.14 and Section 3.15 hereof, upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and at any time and from time to time thereafter, the Company may deliver Certificates executed by the Company to the Purchase Contract Agent for authentication, execution on behalf of the Holders and delivery, together with its Issuer Order for authentication of such Certificates, and the Purchase Contract Agent in accordance with such Issuer Order shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holders and deliver such Certificates.

The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board of Directors, its Chief Executive Officer, its President, its Treasurer, one of its Vice Presidents or one of its Assistant Treasurers. The signature of any of these officers on the Certificates may be manual or facsimile.

Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates.

No Purchase Contract evidenced by a Certificate shall be valid until such Certificate has been executed on behalf of the Holder by the manual signature of an authorized officer of the Purchase Contract Agent, as such Holder’s attorney-in-fact. Such signature by an authorized officer of the Purchase Contract Agent shall be conclusive evidence that the Holder of such Certificate has entered into the Purchase Contracts evidenced by such Certificate.

Each Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication.

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

Section 3.04. Temporary Certificates. Pending the preparation of definitive Certificates, the Company may execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holders, and deliver, in lieu of such definitive Certificates, temporary Certificates which are in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A, Exhibit B or Exhibit C hereto, as the case may be, with such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements printed, lithographed or engraved thereon as may be required by the rules of any securities exchange on which the Corporate Units, Treasury Units or Cash Settled Units, as the case may be, are listed, or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers of the Company executing such Certificates, as evidenced by their execution of the Certificates.

If temporary Certificates are issued, the Company will cause definitive Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable for definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary Certificates at the Corporate Trust Office, at the expense of the Company and without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder, and deliver in exchange therefor, one or more definitive Certificates of like tenor and denominations and evidencing a like number of Units as the temporary Certificate or Certificates so surrendered. Until so exchanged, the temporary Certificates shall in all respects evidence the same benefits and the same obligations with respect to the Units evidenced thereby as definitive Certificates.

Section 3.05. Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Purchase Contract Agent shall keep at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Purchase Contract Agent shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers of Certificates (the Purchase Contract Agent, in such capacity, the “Security Registrar”). The Security Registrar shall record separately the registration and transfer of the Certificates evidencing Corporate Units, Treasury Units and Cash Settled Units.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the designated transferee or transferees, and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of any authorized denominations, like tenor, and evidencing a like number of Corporate Units, Treasury Units or Cash Settled Units, as the case may be.

At the option of the Holder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates, of any authorized denominations and evidencing a like number of Corporate Units, Treasury Units or Cash Settled Units, as the case may be, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder, and deliver the Certificates which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

All Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of a Certificate shall evidence the ownership of the same number of Corporate Units, Treasury Units or Cash Settled Units, as the case may be, and be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same obligations under this Agreement as the

Corporate Units, Treasury Units or Cash Settled Units, as the case may be, evidenced by the Certificate surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Purchase Contract Agent) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of a Certificate, but the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent may require payment from the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, other than any exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, Section 3.06 and Section 8.05 not involving any transfer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall not be obligated to authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder and deliver any Certificate in exchange for any other Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange on or after the Business Day immediately preceding the earliest to occur of any Early Settlement Date with respect to such Certificate, any Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date with respect to such Certificate, the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, any Triggered Early Settlement Date or the Termination Date. In lieu of delivery of a new Certificate, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions specified above in this Section and receipt of appropriate registration or transfer instructions from such Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent shall:

(a) if the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, an Early Settlement Date, a Triggered Early Settlement Date or a Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date with respect to such other Certificate (or portion thereof) has occurred, deliver the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock issuable in respect of the Purchase Contracts forming a part of the Units evidenced by such other Certificate (or portion thereof); and

(b) if a Termination Event, Triggered Early Settlement, Early Settlement, or Fundamental Change Early Settlement shall have occurred prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, Transfer the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Notes, the Cash, the Pro Rata Portion of the Treasury Unit Collateral or the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, underlying such Certificate, in each case subject to the applicable conditions and in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 3.16 and Article 5 hereof.

Section 3.06. Book-entry Interests. The Certificates will be issued in the form of one or more fully registered Global Certificates, to be delivered to the Depositary or its custodian by, or on behalf of, the Company. The Company hereby designates DTC as the initial Depositary. Such Global Certificates shall initially be registered on the Security Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the Depositary, and no Beneficial Owner will receive a definitive Certificate representing such Beneficial Owner’s interest in such Global Certificate, except as provided in Section 3.09. The Purchase Contract Agent shall enter into an agreement with the Depositary if so requested by the Company. Following the issuance of such Global Certificates and unless and until definitive, and fully registered Certificates have been issued to Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section 3.09:

(a) the provisions of this Section 3.06 shall be in full force and effect;

(b) the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary for all purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, making Contract Adjustment Payments and receiving approvals, votes or consents hereunder) as the Holder of the Units and the sole holder of the Global Certificates and shall have no obligation to the Beneficial Owners; provided that a Beneficial Owner may directly enforce against the Company, without any consent, proxy, waiver or involvement of the Depositary of any kind, such Beneficial Owner’s right to receive a definitive Certificate representing the Units beneficially owned by such Beneficial Owner, as set forth in Section 3.09;

(c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.06 conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 3.06 shall control; and

(d) except as set forth in the proviso of clause (b) of this Section 3.06, the rights of the Beneficial Owners shall be exercised only through the Depositary and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Beneficial Owners and the Depositary or the Depositary Participants. The Depositary will make book-entry transfers among Depositary Participants and receive and transmit payments of Contract Adjustment Payments to such Depositary Participants.

Transfers of securities evidenced by Global Certificates shall be made through the facilities of the Depositary, and any cancellation of, or increase or decrease in the number of, such securities (including the creation of Treasury Units, the creation of Cash Settled Units and the recreation of Corporate Units pursuant to Section 3.13, Section 3.14 and Section 3.15, respectively) shall be accomplished by making appropriate annotations on the Schedule of Increases and Decreases set forth in such Global Certificate.

Section 3.07. Notices to Holders. Whenever a notice or other communication to the Holders is required to be given under this Agreement, the Company or the Company’s agent shall give such notices and communications to the Holders and, with respect to any Units registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary, the Company or the Company’s agent shall, except as set forth herein, have no obligations to the Beneficial Owners.

Section 3.08. Appointment of Successor Depositary. If the Depositary elects to discontinue its services as securities depositary with respect to the Units, the Company may, in its sole discretion, appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the Units.

Section 3.09. Definitive Certificates.

If:

(a) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue its services as securities depositary with respect to the Units and no successor Depositary has been appointed pursuant to Section 3.08 within 90 days after such notice;

(b) the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under Section 17A of the Exchange Act when the Depositary is required to be so registered to act as the Depositary and so notifies the Company, and no successor Depositary has been appointed pursuant to Section 3.08 within 90 days after such notice;

(c) to the extent permitted by the Depositary, the Company determines in its discretion that the Global Certificates shall be exchangeable for definitive Certificates; or

(d) a Beneficial Owner seeking to exercise or enforce its rights under the Corporate Units, Treasury Units or Cash Settled Units requests to exchange such Beneficial Owner’s interest in the Global Certificates for definitive Certificates;

then (x) definitive Certificates shall be prepared by the Company with respect to such Units and delivered to the Purchase Contract Agent and (y) upon surrender of the Global Certificates representing the Units by the Depositary, accompanied by registration instructions, the Company shall cause definitive Certificates to be delivered to Beneficial Owners in accordance with instructions provided by the Depositary. The Company and the Purchase Contract Agent shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on and shall be authorized and protected in relying on, such instructions. Each definitive Certificate so delivered shall evidence Units of the same kind and tenor as the Global Certificate so surrendered in respect thereof.

Section 3.10. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Certificates. If any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Purchase Contract Agent, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder, and deliver in exchange therefor, a new Certificate, evidencing the same number of Corporate Units, Treasury Units or Cash Settled Units, as the case may be, and bearing a Certificate number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them and any agent of any of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent that such Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder, and deliver to the Holder, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate, evidencing the same number of Corporate Units, Treasury Units or Cash Settled Units, as the case may be, and bearing a Certificate number not contemporaneously outstanding.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall not be obligated to authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder, and deliver to the Holder, a Certificate on or after the Business Day immediately preceding the earliest of any Early Settlement Date with respect to such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Certificate, any Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date with respect to such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Certificate, any Triggered Early Settlement Date, the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or the Termination Date. In lieu of delivery of a new Certificate, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions specified above in this Section and receipt of appropriate registration or transfer instructions from such Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent shall:

(a) if the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, an Early Settlement Date, a Triggered Early Settlement Date or a Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date with respect to such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Certificate has occurred, deliver the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock issuable in respect of the Purchase Contracts forming a part of the Units evidenced by such Certificate; and

(b) if a Termination Event, Triggered Early Settlement, Fundamental Change Early Settlement or an Early Settlement with respect to such lost, stolen,

destroyed or mutilated Certificate shall have occurred prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, transfer the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Notes, the Pro Rata Portion of the Treasury Unit Collateral, the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or the Cash, as the case may be, underlying such Certificate, in each case subject to the applicable conditions and in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 3.16 and Article 5 hereof.

Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 3.10, the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent may require the payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other fees and expenses (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Purchase Contract Agent) connected therewith.

Every new Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 3.10 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company and of the Holder in respect of the Units evidenced thereby, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate (and the Units evidenced thereby) shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits and be subject to all the obligations of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Certificates delivered hereunder.

The provisions of this Section 3.10 are exclusive and shall preclude, to the extent lawful, all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificates.

Section 3.11. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent, and any agent of the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent, may treat the Person in whose name such Certificate is registered as the owner of the Units evidenced thereby for purposes of (subject to any applicable record date) any payment or distribution with respect to the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, on the Pro Rata Portions of the Treasury Unit Collateral, on the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (ii) of the definition of Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio) or payment of Contract Adjustment Payments and performance of the Purchase Contracts and for all other purposes whatsoever in connection with such Units, whether or not such payment, distribution, or performance shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, and neither the Company nor the Purchase Contract Agent, nor any agent of the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent, shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Neither the Purchase Contract Agent nor the Securities Registrar shall have any responsibility or obligation to any Beneficial Owner of Units

represented by a Global Certificate or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any agent member, with respect to any ownership interest in the Units or with respect to the delivery to any agent member, Beneficial Owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice or the payment of any amount, under or with respect to such Units. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders pursuant to the Units and this Agreement shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Certificate). The rights of Beneficial Owners of the Units underlying a Global Certificate shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to its applicable procedures. The Purchase Contract Agent and the Securities Registrar shall be entitled to rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members, participants and any Beneficial Owners. The Purchase Contract Agent and the Securities Registrar shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary, and any nominee thereof, that is the registered holder of any Global Certificate for all purposes of this Agreement relating to such Global Certificate (including the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest and the giving of instructions or directions by or to the Beneficial Owner in any Units underlying such Global Certificate) as the sole Holder of such Global Certificate and shall have no obligations to the Beneficial Owners thereof. Neither the Purchase Contract Agent nor the Securities Registrar shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of the Depositary with respect to any Units underlying such Global Certificate, for the records of the Depositary, including records in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of Units underlying such Global Certificate, for any transactions between the Depositary and any agent member or between or among the Depositary, any such agent member and/or any Holder or Beneficial Owner of any Units underlying such Global Certificate, or for any transfers of beneficial interests in any Units underlying such Global Certificate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Certificate, nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company, the Purchase Contract Agent or any agent of the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary (or its nominee), as a Holder, with respect to such Global Certificate, or impair, as between such Depositary and the related Beneficial Owner, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of rights of the Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such Global Certificate. None of the Company, the Purchase Contract Agent or any agent of the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Certificate or maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

Section 3.12. Cancellation. All Certificates surrendered for delivery of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock on or after the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Triggered Early Settlement Date or in connection with an Early Settlement or a Fundamental Change Early Settlement or for delivery of the Notes underlying the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, the Cash proceeds of a Pro Rata Portion of the Treasury Unit Collateral or Cash, as the case may be, after the occurrence of a Termination Event, an Early Settlement or a Fundamental Change Early Settlement, a Collateral Substitution, or upon the registration of transfer or exchange of a Unit, shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Purchase Contract Agent, be delivered to the Purchase Contract Agent along with appropriate written instructions regarding the cancellation thereof and, if not already cancelled, shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent for cancellation any Certificates previously authenticated, executed and delivered hereunder that the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Certificates so delivered shall, upon an Issuer Order, be promptly cancelled by the Purchase Contract Agent. No Certificates shall be authenticated, executed on behalf of the Holder and delivered in lieu of or in exchange for any Certificates cancelled as provided in this Section 3.12, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement. All cancelled Certificates held by the Purchase Contract Agent shall be disposed of in accordance with its customary practices.

If the Company or any Affiliate of the Company shall acquire any Certificate, such acquisition shall not operate as a cancellation of such Certificate unless and until such Certificate is delivered to the Purchase Contract Agent cancelled or for cancellation.

Section 3.13. Creation of Treasury Units by Substitution of Cash. (a) Subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and subject to the limitations on a Collateral Substitution in connection with an Optional Remarketing as set forth under Section 5.02(a) below, a Holder of Corporate Units may, at any time from and after the date of this Agreement, other than during a Blackout Period, effect a Collateral Substitution and separate the Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes in respect of such Holder’s Corporate Units by substituting for such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes for which Collateral Substitution is being made, Cash in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes; provided that Holders may make Collateral Substitutions only in integral multiples of 10 Corporate Units. To effect such substitution, the Holder must:

(i) Transfer to the Collateral Agent, for credit to the Collateral Account, Cash equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes for which such Collateral Substitution is made; and

(ii) Transfer the related Corporate Units to the Purchase Contract Agent accompanied by a notice to the Purchase Contract Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, whereupon the Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly provide a direction and instruction to the Collateral Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto.

Upon confirmation that the Cash described in clause (i) above has been credited to the Collateral Account and receipt of the instruction to the Collateral Agent described in clause (ii) above, the Collateral Agent shall release such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes from the Pledge and instruct the Securities Intermediary by a notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto, to Transfer the Notes underlying such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to such Holder, free and clear of the Pledge created hereby. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Agent shall take no action to release such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes from the Pledge unless and until the direction is provided by the Purchase Contract Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto.

Upon credit to the Collateral Account of Cash delivered by a Holder of Corporate Units and receipt of the related instruction from the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary shall promptly Transfer the Notes underlying the appropriate Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to such Holder, free and clear of the Pledge created hereby.

The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Certificate, by its acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, to be bound by the provisions of this paragraph.

Section 5.02. Remarketing; Notices; Separate Notes; Registration; Payment of Purchase Price.

(a) Optional Remarketing. (i) Unless a Termination Event or a Trigger Event has occurred, the Company may elect, at its option, to engage the Remarketing Agent(s), pursuant to the terms of the Remarketing Agreement, to remarket the aggregate Notes underlying the aggregate Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes that are components of Corporate Units, along with any Separate Notes, the holders of which have elected to participate in such remarketing pursuant to the Indenture and Section 5.02(f) below over a period of

five consecutive Business Days (each such period, an “Optional Remarketing Period”) selected by the Company that falls during the Optional Remarketing Window; provided that the Company may only elect to conduct an Optional Remarketing if the Company is not then deferring interest on the Notes.

(ii) The Company shall notify the Purchase Contract Agent and request that the Depositary notify the Depositary Participants holding Corporate Units, Treasury Units and Separate Notes of the Company’s election to conduct an Optional Remarketing no later than fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the first day of an Optional Remarketing Period.

(iii) If the Company elects to conduct an Optional Remarketing, by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the first day of an Optional Remarketing Period, the Purchase Contract Agent shall notify the Remarketing Agent(s) in writing of the aggregate principal amount of Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes that are a part of the Corporate Units to be remarketed, and the Custodial Agent shall notify in writing the Remarketing Agent(s) of the aggregate principal amount of Separate Notes (if any) to be remarketed pursuant to Section 5.02(f) below. Pursuant to, and subject to the terms of, the Remarketing Agreement, upon receipt of such notices from the Purchase Contract Agent and the Custodial Agent, the Remarketing Agent(s) will use its reasonable best efforts to remarket such Notes at the applicable Remarketing Price.

(iv) If the Remarketing Agent(s) is able to remarket such Notes for at least the applicable Remarketing Price in any Optional Remarketing in accordance with the Remarketing Agreement (a “Successful Optional Remarketing”), the Collateral Agent shall cause the Securities Intermediary, upon receipt of instructions from the Company, to transfer to the Remarketing Agent(s) the remarketed Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes upon confirmation of deposit to the Collateral Account of proceeds of such Successful Optional Remarketing attributable to such Notes, and the Custodial Agent shall transfer the remarketed Separate Notes to the Remarketing Agent(s) upon confirmation of receipt of proceeds of such Successful Optional Remarketing attributable to such Separate Notes. Settlement shall occur on the Optional Remarketing Settlement Date. Upon deposit in the Collateral Account of such proceeds attributable to the remarketed Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interest in Notes, the Collateral Agent shall, upon receipt of instructions from the Company, (A) instruct the Securities Intermediary to apply an amount equal to the Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price to purchase the Treasury Portfolio from the Quotation Agent (the amount and issue of the U.S. Treasury securities (or principal or interest strips thereof) constituting the Treasury Portfolio to be

determined by the Remarketing Agent(s)), (B) credit to the Collateral Account the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, and (C) promptly remit any remaining portion of such proceeds to the Purchase Contract Agent for payment to the Holders of Corporate Units, whereupon the Purchase Contract Agent shall make such payment on the Optional Remarketing Settlement Date to the Holders whose Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes were remarketed pro rata in accordance with their respective interests. With respect to any Separate Notes remarketed, the Custodial Agent shall remit such proceeds of the Successful Optional Remarketing received from the Remarketing Agent(s) to Holders of such Separate Notes on the Optional Remarketing Settlement Date.

(v) Following the occurrence of a Successful Optional Remarketing, the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of such term) will be substituted as Collateral for the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes and will be held by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms hereof to secure the Obligation of each Holder of Corporate Units, and the Holders of Corporate Units and the Collateral Agent shall have such security interests, rights and obligations with respect to the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as defined in clause (i) of such term) as the Holder of Corporate Units and the Collateral Agent had in respect of the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, subject to the Pledge thereof. Any reference in this Agreement or the Certificates to the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes shall thereupon be deemed to be a reference to such Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as defined in clause (i) of such term). The Company may cause to be made in any Corporate Units Certificates thereafter to be issued such change in phraseology and form (but not in substance) as may be appropriate to reflect the substitution of the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as defined in clause (i) of such term) for the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes as Collateral.

(vi) If, in spite of its reasonable best efforts, the Remarketing Agent(s) cannot remarket the Notes as set forth above during the Optional Remarketing Period at a price not less than the applicable Remarketing Price or a condition precedent set forth in the Remarketing Agreement is not fulfilled, the Optional Remarketing will be deemed to have failed (a “Failed Optional Remarketing”). Promptly after a Failed Optional Remarketing, the Custodial Agent will return Separate Notes to the appropriate Holders.

(vii) If the Company elects to remarket the Notes during the Optional Remarketing Period and a Successful Optional Remarketing has

not occurred on or prior to the last day of the Optional Remarketing Period, the Company shall cause a notice of the Failed Optional Remarketing to be published before 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the last date of the Optional Remarketing Period. This notice shall be validly published by making a timely release to any appropriate news agency, including, without limitation, Bloomberg Business News and the Dow Jones News Service.

(b) Triggered Early Remarketing. (i) If a Trigger Event occurs prior to the first day in the Optional Remarketing Window, all Purchase Contracts will mandatorily settle (the “Triggered Early Settlement”) on the date that is 25 calendar days after the occurrence of the Trigger Event or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately following Business Day (such day, the “Triggered Early Settlement Date”). In order to dispose of the Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes of any Holders of Corporate Units, the Company shall engage the Remarketing Agent(s), pursuant to the terms of the Remarketing Agreement, to use its reasonable best efforts to remarket such Notes, along with any Separate Notes, the holders of which have elected to participate in the Triggered Early Remarketing pursuant to Section 5.02(f) below, during the Triggered Early Remarketing Period.

(ii) The Company shall notify the Purchase Contract Agent and request that the Depositary notify the Depositary Participants holding Corporate Units, Treasury Units and Separate Notes of the Triggered Early Remarketing no later than the 15 calendar days prior to the first day of the Triggered Early Remarketing Period.

(iii) The Purchase Contract Agent shall notify the Remarketing Agent(s) in writing, promptly after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the first day of the Triggered Early Remarketing Period, of the aggregate principal amount of Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes that are to be remarketed, and the Custodial Agent shall notify in writing the Remarketing Agent(s) of the aggregate principal amount of Separate Notes (if any) to be remarketed pursuant to Section 5.02(f) below.

(iv) The Company may postpone the Triggered Early Remarketing in its absolute discretion on any day prior to the last three Business Days of the Triggered Early Remarketing Period. The Company will promptly furnish notice of any such postponement to the Purchase Contract Agent.

(v) If the Remarketing Agent(s) is able to remarket such Notes and the Separate Notes (if any) for at least the applicable Remarketing Price in any Triggered Early Remarketing in accordance with the

Remarketing Agreement (a “Successful Triggered Early Remarketing”), the Collateral Agent shall, upon receipt of instructions from the Company, cause the Securities Intermediary to transfer to the Remarketing Agent(s) the remarketed Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes upon confirmation of deposit to the Collateral Account of proceeds of such Successful Triggered Early Remarketing attributable to such Notes, and the Custodial Agent shall transfer the remarketed Separate Notes to the Remarketing Agent(s) upon confirmation of receipt of proceeds of such Successful Triggered Early Remarketing attributable to such Separate Notes. Settlement shall occur on the Remarketing Settlement Date. Upon deposit in the Collateral Account of such proceeds, the Collateral Agent shall, on the Triggered Early Settlement Date, in consultation with the Purchase Contract Agent and upon direction of the Company, instruct the Securities Intermediary to remit a portion of such proceeds equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Notes to satisfy in full the Obligations of Holders of Corporate Units whose Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes were remarketed to pay the Purchase Price for the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock under the related Purchase Contracts, and promptly remit the balance of such proceeds to the Purchase Contract Agent for payment to the Holders of Corporate Units, whereupon the Purchase Contract Agent shall make such payment on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date pro rata in accordance with their respective interests. With respect to any Separate Notes remarketed, the Custodial Agent shall remit such proceeds of the Successful Triggered Early Remarketing received from the Remarketing Agent(s) pro rata to Holders of such Separate Notes on the Triggered Early Settlement Date.

(vi) In connection with any Successful Triggered Early Remarketing, the Company shall cause all accrued and unpaid Deferred Interest (including compounded interest thereon) to be paid to the Holders of the Notes as of the close of business on the 15th calendar day prior to the Triggered Early Settlement Date (whether or not such Notes were remarketed in such Successful Triggered Early Remarketing) on the Triggered Early Settlement Date in Cash or by issuing Deferral Securities to the Holders of such Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of all such Deferred Interest (including compounded interest thereon).

(vii) If, in spite of its reasonable best efforts, the Remarketing Agent(s) cannot remarket the Notes during the Triggered Early Remarketing Period at a price equal to or greater than the applicable Remarketing Price or a condition precedent set forth in the Remarketing Agreement is not fulfilled, the remarketing will be deemed to have failed (a “Failed Triggered Early Remarketing”). The Company shall cause a

notice of the Failed Triggered Early Remarketing to be published before 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the last date of the Triggered Early Remarketing Period. This notice shall be validly published by making a timely release to any appropriate news agency, including, without limitation, Bloomberg Business News and the Dow Jones News Service.

Following a Failed Triggered Early Remarketing, as of the Triggered Early Settlement Date, each Holder of any Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes shall be deemed to have exercised such Holder’s Put Right with respect to the Notes underlying such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes and to have elected to apply a portion of the Proceeds equal to the principal amount of the Notes against such Holder’s obligation to pay the aggregate Purchase Price for the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be issued under the related Purchase Contracts in full satisfaction of such Holder’s Obligations under such Purchase Contracts. Following such application, each such Holder’s Obligations, including to pay the Purchase Price for the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, will be deemed to be satisfied in full, and the Collateral Agent shall, upon receipt of instructions from the Company, cause the Securities Intermediary to release the Notes underlying such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes from the Collateral Account and shall promptly transfer such Notes to the Company. Thereafter, the Collateral Agent shall promptly remit the remaining portion of the Proceeds of the Holder’s exercise of the Put Right in excess of the aggregate Purchase Price for the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be issued under such Purchase Contracts to the Purchase Contract Agent for payment to the Holder of the Corporate Units to which such Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes relate.

Following a Failed Triggered Early Remarketing, as of the Triggered Early Settlement Date, each Holder of Treasury Units shall be deemed to have elected to apply a portion of the Cash constituting such Holder’s Pro Rata Portions of the Treasury Unit Collateral equal to the aggregate Purchase Price for the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be issued under the related Purchase Contracts to satisfy such Holder’s obligation to pay such aggregate Purchase Price in full satisfaction of such Holder’s Obligations under such Purchase Contracts. Following such application, each such Holder’s Obligations, including to pay the Purchase Price for the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, will be deemed to be satisfied in full, and the Collateral Agent shall, upon receipt of instructions from the Company, cause the Securities Intermediary to release such Cash from the Collateral Account and shall promptly transfer such Cash to the Company. Thereafter, the Collateral Agent shall promptly remit the remaining Cash constituting the Holder’s Pro Rata Portions of the

Treasury Unit Collateral in excess of the aggregate Purchase Price for the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be issued under such Purchase Contracts to the Purchase Contract Agent for payment to the Holder of the Treasury Units to which such Pro Rata Portions of the Treasury Unit Collateral relate.

Following a Failed Triggered Early Remarketing, as of the Triggered Early Settlement Date, each Holder of Cash Settled Units shall be deemed to have elected to apply the Cash component of such Holder’s Cash Settled Units to satisfy such Holder’s obligation to pay the aggregate Purchase Price for the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be issued under the related Purchase Contracts in full satisfaction of such Holder’s Obligations under such Purchase Contracts. Following such application, each such Holder’s Obligations, including to pay the Purchase Price for the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, will be deemed to be satisfied in full, and the Collateral Agent shall cause the Securities Intermediary to release such Cash from the Collateral Account and shall promptly transfer such Cash to the Company.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5.02(b)(vi) shall prevent holders of Separate Notes from exercising their Put Right after a Failed Triggered Early Remarketing.

(viii) The Company shall pay all deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) accrued to, but excluding, the Triggered Early Settlement Date to the Person or Persons to whom shares of Convertible Preferred Stock are being delivered on such date.

(c) Final Remarketing. (i) Unless a Termination Event or a Successful Optional Remarketing has occurred, in order to dispose of the Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes of any Holders of Corporate Units, the Company shall engage the Remarketing Agent(s), pursuant to the terms of the Remarketing Agreement, to use its reasonable best efforts to remarket such Notes, along with any Separate Notes, the holders of which have elected to participate in a Final Remarketing pursuant to Section 5.02(f) below, during the Final Remarketing Period.

(ii) The Company shall notify the Purchase Contract Agent and request that the Depositary notify the Depositary Participants holding Corporate Units, Treasury Units and Separate Notes of the Final Remarketing no later than October 21, 2015 and the Business Day following the last day of any Optional Remarketing Period ending on or prior to October 23, 2015, provided that if an Optional Remarketing Period is scheduled to end after October 23, 2015, such notice of the Final

Remarketing will be included in the notice of that Optional Remarketing Period and will indicate that the Final Remarketing is contingent upon either (i) failure of such Optional Remarketing or (ii) the Company’s election not to remarket the Notes during such Optional Remarketing Period.

(iii) The Purchase Contract Agent shall notify the Remarketing Agent(s) in writing, promptly after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the first day of the Final Remarketing Period, of the aggregate principal amount of Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes that are to be remarketed, and the Custodial Agent shall notify in writing the Remarketing Agent(s) of the aggregate principal amount of Separate Notes (if any) to be remarketed pursuant to Section 5.02(f) below.

(iv) The Company may postpone the Final Remarketing in its absolute discretion on any day prior to the last three Business Days of the Final Remarketing Period. The Company will promptly furnish notice of any such postponement to the Purchase Contract Agent.

(v) If the Remarketing Agent(s) is able to remarket such Notes and the Separate Notes (if any) for at least the applicable Remarketing Price in any Final Remarketing in accordance with the Remarketing Agreement (a “Successful Final Remarketing”), the Collateral Agent shall, upon receipt of instructions from the Company, cause the Securities Intermediary to transfer to the Remarketing Agent(s) the remarketed Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes upon confirmation of deposit to the Collateral Account of proceeds of such Successful Final Remarketing attributable to such Notes, and the Custodial Agent shall transfer the remarketed Separate Notes to the Remarketing Agent(s) upon confirmation of receipt of proceeds of such Successful Final Remarketing attributable to such Separate Notes. Settlement shall occur on the Remarketing Settlement Date. Upon deposit in the Collateral Account of such proceeds, the Collateral Agent shall, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, in consultation with the Purchase Contract Agent and upon direction of the Company, instruct the Securities Intermediary to remit a portion of such proceeds equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Notes to satisfy in full the Obligations of Holders of Corporate Units to pay the Purchase Price for the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock under the related Purchase Contracts, and promptly remit the balance of such proceeds to the Purchase Contract Agent for payment to the Holders of Corporate Units whose Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes were remarketed, whereupon the Purchase Contract Agent shall make such payment on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date pro rata in accordance with their respective

interests. With respect to any Separate Notes remarketed, the Custodial Agent shall remit such proceeds of the Successful Final Remarketing received from the Remarketing Agent(s) pro rata to Holders of such Separate Notes on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date.

(vi) In connection with any Successful Final Remarketing, the Company shall cause all accrued and unpaid Deferred Interest (including compounded interest thereon) to be paid to the Holders of the Notes (whether or not such Notes were remarketed in such Successful Final Remarketing) on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date in Cash.

(vii) If, in spite of its reasonable best efforts, the Remarketing Agent(s) cannot remarket the Notes during the Final Remarketing Period at a price equal to or greater than the applicable Remarketing Price or a condition precedent set forth in the Remarketing Agreement is not fulfilled, the remarketing will be deemed to have failed (a “Failed Final Remarketing”). The Company shall cause a notice of the Failed Final Remarketing to be published before 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the last date of the Final Remarketing Period. This notice shall be validly published by making a timely release to any appropriate news agency, including, without limitation, Bloomberg Business News and the Dow Jones News Service.

Following a Failed Final Remarketing, as of the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, each Holder of any Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes shall be deemed to have exercised such Holder’s Put Right with respect to the Notes underlying such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes and to have elected to apply a portion of the Proceeds equal to the principal amount of the Notes against such Holder’s obligation to pay the aggregate Purchase Price for the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be issued under the related Purchase Contracts in full satisfaction of such Holder’s Obligations under such Purchase Contracts. Following such application, each such Holder’s Obligations, including to pay the Purchase Price for the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, will be deemed to be satisfied in full, and the Collateral Agent shall, upon receipt of instructions from the Company, cause the Securities Intermediary to release the Notes underlying such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes from the Collateral Account and shall promptly transfer such Notes to the Company. Thereafter, the Collateral Agent shall promptly remit the remaining portion of the Proceeds of the Holder’s exercise of the Put Right in excess of the aggregate Purchase Price for the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be issued under such Purchase Contracts to the Purchase Contract Agent for payment to the Holder of the Corporate Units to which such Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes relate.

Following a Failed Final Remarketing, as of the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, each Holder of Treasury Units shall be deemed to have elected to apply a portion of the Cash constituting such Holder’s Pro Rata Portions of the Treasury Unit Collateral equal to the aggregate Purchase Price for the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be issued under the related Purchase Contracts to satisfy such Holder’s obligation to pay such aggregate Purchase Price in full satisfaction of such Holder’s Obligations under such Purchase Contracts. Following such application, each such Holder’s Obligations, including to pay the Purchase Price for the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, will be deemed to be satisfied in full, and the Collateral Agent shall, upon receipt of instructions from the Company, cause the Securities Intermediary to release such Cash from the Collateral Account and shall promptly transfer such Cash to the Company. Thereafter, the Collateral Agent shall promptly remit the remaining Cash constituting the Holder’s Pro Rata Portions of the Treasury Unit Collateral in excess of the aggregate Purchase Price for the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be issued under such Purchase Contracts to the Purchase Contract Agent for payment to the Holder of the Treasury Units to which such Pro Rata Portions of the Treasury Unit Collateral relate.

Following a Failed Final Remarketing, as of the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, each Holder of Cash Settled Units shall be deemed to have elected to apply the Cash component of such Holder’s Cash Settled Units to satisfy such Holder’s obligation to pay the aggregate Purchase Price for the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be issued under the related Purchase Contracts in full satisfaction of such Holder’s Obligations under such Purchase Contracts. Following such application, each such Holder’s Obligations, including to pay the Purchase Price for the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, will be deemed to be satisfied in full, and the Collateral Agent shall, upon receipt of instructions from the Company, cause the Securities Intermediary to release such Cash from the Collateral Account and shall promptly transfer such Cash to the Company.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5.02(c)(vii) shall prevent holders of Separate Notes from exercising their Put Right after a Failed Final Remarketing.

(d) In connection with an Optional Remarketing, a Triggered Early Remarketing or a Final Remarketing (i) interest on the remarketed Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears, commencing on an interest payment date for the Notes selected by the Remarketing Agent(s) in consultation with the Company, (ii) the interest deferral provisions of the remarketed Notes shall not apply and (iii) the remarketed Notes shall rank senior to all of the Company’s existing and future junior subordinated indebtedness and junior to all of the Company’s existing and future Senior Indebtedness.

(e) In connection with any Remarketing, the Remarketing Agent(s), in consultation with the Company and in accordance with the Remarketing Agreement, may elect to reset the Interest Rate on the remarketed Notes. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, in connection with any Remarketing, (i) the notes will rank senior to all existing and future unsecured junior subordinated obligations of the Company and junior to all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company and (ii) interest will be payable semi-annually in arrears, commencing on the immediately following February 17, May 17, August 17 or November 17 as selected by the Company in consultation with the Remarketing Agent(s). These modifications shall become effective if the Remarketing is successful, without the consent of the Holders, upon the Remarketing Settlement Date. If a Successful Remarketing occurs, the Company will request the Depositary to notify the Depositary Participants holding Notes of the Reset Rate, interest payment dates and ranking for the remarketed Notes on the Business Day following the date of the Successful Remarketing.

(f) Prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day immediately preceding an Applicable Remarketing Period, other than during a Blackout Period, Holders of Separate Notes may elect to have their Separate Notes remarketed in such Remarketing in the same manner as the Notes by delivering their Separate Notes along with a notice of this election, substantially in the form of Exhibit M attached hereto, to the Custodial Agent. After such time, such election shall become an irrevocable election to have such Separate Notes remarketed in all Remarketings to occur in the Applicable Remarketing Period. The Custodial Agent shall hold the Separate Notes in an account separate from the collateral account in which the Notes shall be held. Holders electing to have their Notes remarketed shall also have the right to withdraw the election by written notice to the Collateral Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit N hereto, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately preceding the first day of the Applicable Remarketing Period. In the event of a Successful Remarketing during the Optional Remarketing Period, each holder of Separate Notes that elects to have its Notes remarketed shall receive for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, the Remarketing Price Per Note. In the event of a Successful Remarketing during the Final Remarketing Period, each holder of Separate Notes that elects to have its Notes remarketed shall receive an amount, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, equal to $1,000 in Cash. Any accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes, including any accrued and unpaid Deferred Interest (including compounded interest thereon), shall be paid in Cash by the Company on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. In the event of a Successful Remarketing during the Triggered Early Remarketing Period, each holder of Separate Notes that elects to have its Notes remarketed shall receive an amount, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, equal to $1,000 plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes (excluding Deferred Interest and compounded interest thereon) in Cash. Any

Deferred Interest and compounded interest on such Notes shall be paid by the Company in Cash or by issuing Deferral Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of all such Deferred Interest (including compounded interest thereon) to such holder on the Triggered Early Settlement Date.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, the right of each holder of the Notes underlying the aggregate Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes that are components of Corporate Units and the Separate Notes, the holders of which have elected to participate in any Remarketing, to have such Notes remarketed and sold on any Remarketing Date shall be subject to the conditions that (i)(1) the Remarketing Agent(s) conducts an Optional Remarketing, or (2) in the case of a Final Remarketing, that no Successful Optional Remarketing or Triggered Early Settlement Date has occurred, each pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (ii) a Termination Event has not occurred prior to such Remarketing Date, (iii) the Remarketing Agent(s) is able to find a purchaser or purchasers for such Notes at the applicable Remarketing Price based on the Reset Rate, and (iv) such purchaser or purchasers deliver the purchase price therefor to the Remarketing Agent(s) as and when required.

(h) The Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that, if required by applicable law, a registration statement, including a prospectus, under the Securities Act with regard to the full amount of the Notes to be remarketed in each Remarketing in each case shall be effective with the Securities and Exchange Commission in a form that may be used by the Remarketing Agent(s) in connection with such Remarketing (unless such registration statement is not required under the applicable laws and regulations that are in effect at that time or unless the Company conducts any Remarketing in accordance with an exemption under the securities laws).

(i) The Company will separately pay the Remarketing Fee to the Remarketing Agent(s) for its service in connection with any Successful Remarketing. Holders whose Notes are remarketed will not be responsible for the payment of any Remarketing Fee.

(j) In the case of a Corporate Unit (if Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio have replaced the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes as a component of such Corporate Unit), if the appropriate Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio held by the Securities Intermediary mature prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the principal amount of the Treasury Securities received by the Securities Intermediary shall be placed in the Collateral Account. On the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, an amount equal to the Purchase Price for all related Purchase Contracts shall be remitted to the Company as payment of such Holder’s Obligations under such Purchase Contracts without receiving any instructions from the Holder. In the event the sum of the Proceeds from the related Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in

the Treasury Portfolio is in excess of the aggregate Purchase Price, the Collateral Agent shall cause the Securities Intermediary to distribute such excess, when received by the Securities Intermediary, to the Purchase Contract Agent for the benefit of the Holder of the related Corporate Units, as applicable.

(k) The obligations of the Holders to pay the Purchase Price are non-recourse obligations and, except to the extent satisfied by Early Settlement, or Fundamental Change Early Settlement or terminated upon a Termination Event, are payable solely out of the proceeds of any Collateral pledged to secure the obligations of the Holders, and in no event will Holders be liable for any deficiency between the proceeds of the disposition of Collateral and the Purchase Price.

(l) The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock in respect of a Purchase Contract or deliver any certificates thereof to the Holder of the related Units unless the Company shall have received, subject to Section 5.02(k), payment for the Convertible Preferred Stock to be purchased thereunder in the manner herein set forth.

Section 5.03. Issuance of Shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. Unless a Termination Event, an Early Settlement or a Fundamental Change Early Settlement shall have occurred, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or the Triggered Early Settlement Date, as applicable, upon receipt of the aggregate Purchase Price payable on all Outstanding Units in accordance with Section 5.02, the Company shall issue and deposit with the Purchase Contract Agent, for the benefit of the Holders of the Outstanding Units, one or more certificates representing newly issued shares of Convertible Preferred Stock registered in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent (or its nominee) as custodian for the Holders to which the Holders are entitled hereunder; provided, that, in case such Convertible Preferred Stock is to be delivered through the facilities of DTC or another Depositary, the Company shall cause its stock transfer agent to deliver beneficial interests in such Convertible Preferred Stock on behalf of the Purchase Contract Agent through such facilities to the Holders entitled thereto.

Subject to the foregoing, upon presentation and surrender of a Certificate, if in certificated form, to the Purchase Contract Agent on or after the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, Triggered Early Settlement Date, Early Settlement Date or Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date, as the case may be, together with settlement instructions thereon duly completed and executed, the Holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive forthwith in exchange therefor a certificate representing that number of newly issued whole shares of Convertible Preferred Stock which such Holder is entitled to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article 5 (after taking into account all Units then held by such Holder), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Such shares shall be registered in the name of the Holder or the Holder’s designee as specified in the

settlement instructions set forth on the reverse of the Certificate provided by the Holder to the Purchase Contract Agent. If any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock issued in respect of a Purchase Contract are to be registered in the name of a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate evidencing such Purchase Contract is registered (but excluding any Depositary or nominee thereof), no such registration shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such registration has paid any transfer and other taxes (including any applicable stamp taxes) required by reason of such registration in a name other than that of the registered Holder of the Certificate evidencing such Purchase Contract or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax either has been paid or is not payable.

Section 5.04. Fundamental Change Early Settlement.

(a) Prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, then a Holder of a Unit may settle (a “Fundamental Change Early Settlement”) its Purchase Contract, upon the conditions and in the manner set forth below; provided that no Fundamental Change Early Settlement will be permitted pursuant to this Section 5.04(a) unless, at the time such Fundamental Change Early Settlement is effected, there is an effective Registration Statement with respect to any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be issued and delivered in connection with such Fundamental Change Early Settlement, if such a Registration Statement is required (in the view of counsel, which need not be in the form of a written opinion, for the Company) under the Securities Act. If such a Registration Statement is so required, the Company covenants and agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to (x) have in effect a Registration Statement covering the Convertible Preferred Stock to be delivered in respect of the Purchase Contracts being settled and (y) provide a Prospectus in connection therewith, in each case in a form that may be used in connection with such Fundamental Change Early Settlement (it being understood that if there is a material business transaction or development that has not yet been publicly disclosed, the Company will not be required to provide such a Prospectus, and the right to effect Fundamental Change Early Settlement will not be available, until the Company has publicly disclosed such transaction or development, provided that the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to make such disclosure as soon as it is commercially reasonable to do so). In the event that a Holder seeks to exercise its Fundamental Change Early Settlement right and a Registration Statement is required to be effective in connection with the exercise of such right but no such Registration Statement is then effective, the Holder’s exercise of such right shall be void unless and until such a Registration Statement shall be effective, but such Holder shall receive consideration calculated as described in this Section 5.04(a) when such Registration Statement becomes effective. If a Holder elects a Fundamental Change Early Settlement of some or all of its Purchase Contracts, such Holder shall be entitled to receive, on the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date, the aggregate amount of any accrued

and unpaid Contract Adjustment Payments (including deferred Contract Adjustment Payments and Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon), with respect to such Purchase Contracts (except when the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date falls after any Record Date and prior to the next succeeding Payment Date, in which case Contract Adjustment Payments shall be payable to the Person in whose name a Certificate is registered at the close of business on such Record Date relating to the next succeeding Payment Date). The Company shall pay such amount as a credit against the amount otherwise payable by such Holder to effect such Fundamental Change Early Settlement.

Not less than 20 Business Days prior to the anticipated effective date of a Fundamental Change, but in any event not later than the earlier of (i) two Business Days following the Company’s becoming aware of the occurrence of a Fundamental Change and (ii) the effective date of such Fundamental Change, the Company shall provide notice to Holders and the Purchase Contract Agent of the anticipated effective date of such Fundamental Change. In addition, the Company shall provide each Holder and the Purchase Contract Agent with notice of a Fundamental Change within five Business Days after the effective date of such Fundamental Change, which shall specify, in addition to all of the information contained in the Fundamental Change Company Notice (as if shares of Convertible Preferred Stock were outstanding on the date of such notice), the date on which such Fundamental Change Early Settlement shall occur (which date shall be at least ten Business Days after the effective date of such Fundamental Change but no later than the earliest of (x) 20 Business Days after the effective date of such Fundamental Change and (y) (i) one Business Day prior to the first day of the commencement of a Triggered Early Remarketing Period, (ii) one Business Day prior to the first day of the commencement of an Optional Remarketing Period, or, if the Company has not specified an Optional Remarketing Period or the Optional Remarketing is not successful, (iii) the commencement of the Final Remarketing Period or, if the Final Remarketing is not successful, (iv) the Purchase Contract Settlement Date (such date, the “Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date”), the consideration receivable by the Holder, including the amount of Contract Adjustment Payments receivable, upon settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Final Remarketing Period begins less than ten Business Days following the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the notice will specify the Purchase Contract Settlement Date as the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date.

Corporate Units Holders (unless Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio have replaced Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes as a component of the Corporate Units) and Treasury Units Holders may only effect Fundamental Change Early Settlement pursuant to this Section 5.04(a) in integral multiples of 10 Corporate Units or Treasury Units, as the case may be. If Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio have replaced Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes as a component of the Corporate Units,

Corporate Units Holders may only effect Fundamental Change Early Settlement pursuant to this Section 5.04(a) in multiples of 16,000 Corporate Units. Other than the provisions relating to timing of notice and settlement, which shall be as set forth above, the provisions of Section 5.01 shall apply with respect to a Fundamental Change Early Settlement pursuant to this Section 5.04(a).

In order to exercise the right to effect a Fundamental Change Early Settlement with respect to any Purchase Contracts, the Holder of the Certificate evidencing Units shall deliver, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date, such Certificate to the Purchase Contract Agent at the Corporate Trust Office duly endorsed for transfer to the Company or in blank with the form of Election to Settle Early on the reverse thereof duly completed and accompanied by either (X) in the case of Corporate Units, Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes (which delivery may occur through delivery by the Collateral Agent, upon receipt of instructions from the Company, of the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes underlying such Holder’s Corporate Units, which the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to deliver on such Holder’s behalf) or (Y) payment (payable to the Company in immediately available funds), in each case in an amount equal to (or having an aggregate principal amount equal to) the aggregate Purchase Price corresponding to the number of Purchase Contracts with respect to which the Holder has elected to effect Fundamental Change Early Settlement.

In the event that Units are held by or through DTC or another Depositary, the exercise of the right to effect Fundamental Change Early Settlement shall occur in conformity with the standing arrangements between DTC or such Depositary and the Purchase Contract Agent.

Upon receipt of such Certificate and receipt of such Notes or payment of such funds, as the case may be, the Purchase Contract Agent shall deliver such Notes to the Company or pay the Company from such funds the related Purchase Price pursuant to the terms of the related Purchase Contracts, and notify the Collateral Agent that all the conditions necessary for a Fundamental Change Early Settlement by a Holder have been satisfied pursuant to which the Purchase Contract Agent has received from such Holder, and paid to the Company as confirmed in writing by the Company, the related Purchase Price or Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to such Purchase Price.

Upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of the notice from the Purchase Contract Agent set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, the Collateral Agent shall release from the Pledge, (1) the Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes or the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, in the case of a Holder of Corporate Units who elected to effect a Fundamental Change Early Settlement by delivering Cash in

satisfaction of the payment obligation described above or (2) the Proceeds of the applicable Pro Rata Portions of the Treasury Unit Collateral corresponding to the number of Purchase Contracts as to which such Holder of Treasury Units has elected to effect a Fundamental Change Early Settlement, and shall instruct the Securities Intermediary to Transfer all such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes or applicable Proceeds of the Treasury Unit Collateral, as the case may be, to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to such Holder, in each case free and clear of the Pledge created hereby.

If a Holder properly effects an effective Fundamental Change Early Settlement in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.04(a), the Company will deliver (or will cause the Collateral Agent to deliver) to the Holder on the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date for each Purchase Contract with respect to which such Holder has elected Fundamental Change Early Settlement:

(i) one share of Convertible Preferred Stock per Purchase Contract;

(ii) if the Holder has elected to effect the Fundamental Change Early Settlement by delivering Cash in satisfaction of the payment obligation described above, the Notes, the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or applicable Proceeds of a Pro Rata Portion of the Treasury Unit Collateral, as the case may be, related to each Unit with respect to which the Holder is effecting a Fundamental Change Early Settlement, free and clear of the Pledge created hereby;

(iii) to the extent any accrued and unpaid Contract Adjustment Payments (including any deferred Contract Adjustment Payments and Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) with respect to such Purchase Contract to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date exceed the applicable Purchase Price, Cash in the amount of such excess; and

(iv) if so required under the Securities Act, a Prospectus as contemplated by this Section 5.04(a).

For the avoidance of doubt, any accrued and unpaid Contract Adjustment Payments (including any deferred Contract Adjustment Payments and Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) with respect to such Purchase Contract to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date shall be due and payable by the Company on the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date for such Purchase Contract.

The Corporate Units or the Treasury Units of the Holders who do not elect Fundamental Change Early Settlement in accordance with the foregoing will continue to remain outstanding and be subject to settlement on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or the Triggered Early Settlement Date, as applicable, in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b) All calculations and determinations pursuant to this Article 5 shall be made by the Company or its agent and the Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall have no responsibility with respect to this Agreement.

Section 5.05. Termination Event; Notice. The Purchase Contracts and all obligations and rights of the Company and the Holders thereunder, including, without limitation, the rights of the Holders to receive and the obligation of the Company to pay any Contract Adjustment Payments (including any deferred Contract Adjustment Payments and Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon), and the rights and obligations of Holders to purchase Convertible Preferred Stock, shall immediately and automatically terminate, without the necessity of any notice or action by any Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent or the Company, if, prior to or on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, a Termination Event shall have occurred.

Upon and after the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Units shall thereafter represent the right to receive Notes underlying the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, the Pro Rata Portions of the Treasury Unit Collateral, the Cash or the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, forming part of such Units, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.16 hereof. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, (i) the Company shall promptly but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter give notice to the Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Holders, at their addresses as they appear in the Security Register and (ii) the Collateral Agent shall, in accordance with Section 3.16 hereof, release the Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes or the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio) forming a part of each Corporate Unit, the Pro Rata Portion of the Treasury Unit Collateral forming a part of each Treasury Unit or the Cash forming a part of each Cash Settled Unit, as the case may be, from the Pledge.

Section 5.06. Early Settlement. (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.06, at the option of the Holder thereof, other than during a Blackout Period, Purchase Contracts underlying Units may be settled early (“Early Settlement”) at any time; provided that no Early Settlement will be permitted pursuant to this Section 5.06 unless, at the time such Early Settlement is effected, there is an effective Registration Statement with respect to the shares of

Convertible Preferred Stock to be issued and delivered in connection with such Early Settlement, if such a Registration Statement is required (in the view of counsel, which need not be in the form of a written opinion, for the Company) under the Securities Act. If such a Registration Statement is so required, the Company covenants and agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) have in effect a Registration Statement covering those shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be delivered in respect of the Purchase Contracts being settled and (ii) provide a Prospectus in connection therewith, in each case in a form that may be used in connection with such Early Settlement (it being understood that if there is a material business transaction or development that has not yet been publicly disclosed, the Company will not be required to provide such a Prospectus, and the right to effect Early Settlement will not be available, until the Company has publicly disclosed such transaction or development, provided that the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to make such disclosure as soon as it is commercially reasonable to do so).

(b) In order to exercise the right to effect Early Settlement with respect to any Purchase Contracts, the Holder of the Certificate evidencing Units (in the case of Certificates in definitive certificated form) shall deliver, at any time, other than during a Blackout Period, such Certificate to the Purchase Contract Agent at the Corporate Trust Office duly endorsed for transfer to the Company or in blank with the form of Election to Settle Early on the reverse thereof duly completed and accompanied by payment (payable to the Company in immediately available funds) in an amount (the “Early Settlement Amount”) equal to the sum of:

(i) the aggregate Purchase Price for the number of Purchase Contracts with respect to which the Holder has elected to effect Early Settlement, plus,

(ii) if such delivery is made with respect to any Purchase Contracts during the period from the close of business on any Record Date next preceding any Payment Date to the opening of business on such Payment Date, an amount equal to the Contract Adjustment Payments payable on such Payment Date with respect to such Purchase Contracts, unless the Company has elected to defer the Contract Adjustment Payments payable on such Payment Date.

In the case of Book-Entry Interests, each Beneficial Owner electing Early Settlement must deliver the Early Settlement Amount to the Purchase Contract Agent along with a facsimile of the Election to Settle Early form duly completed, make book-entry transfer of such Book-Entry Interests and comply with the applicable procedures of the Depositary by the applicable time set forth above in this Section 5.06. In addition, so long as the Units are evidenced by one or more Global Certificates deposited with the Depositary, procedures for Early Settlement will also be governed by standing arrangements between the Depositary and the Purchase Contract Agent.

Except as provided in Section 5.09(d), no payment shall be made upon Early Settlement of any Purchase Contract on account of any Contract Adjustment Payments (other than deferred Contract Adjustment Payments and any Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) accrued on such Purchase Contract or on account of any dividends on the Convertible Preferred Stock issued upon such Early Settlement. If the foregoing requirements are first satisfied with respect to Purchase Contracts underlying any Units at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, such day shall be the “Early Settlement Date” with respect to such Units and if such requirements are first satisfied after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day, the Early Settlement Date with respect to such Units shall be the next succeeding Business Day.

Upon the receipt of such Certificate, Election to Settle Early form duly completed and Early Settlement Amount from the Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent shall pay to the Company such Early Settlement Amount, the receipt of which payment the Company shall confirm in writing. The Purchase Contract Agent shall then notify the Collateral Agent that (A) such Holder has elected to effect an Early Settlement, which notice shall set forth the number of such Purchase Contracts as to which such Holder has elected to effect Early Settlement, (B) the Purchase Contract Agent has received from such Holder, and paid to the Company as confirmed in writing by the Company, the related Early Settlement Amount and (C) all conditions to such Early Settlement expressly set forth in this Agreement have been satisfied.

Upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of the notice from the Purchase Contract Agent set forth in the preceding paragraph, the Collateral Agent shall release from the Pledge, (1) in the case of a Holder of Corporate Units, the Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, or the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, relating to the Purchase Contracts to which Early Settlement is effected, or (2) in the case of a Holder of Treasury Units, the Proceeds of the applicable Pro Rata Portions of the Treasury Unit Collateral corresponding to the number of Purchase Contracts as to which such Holder has elected to effect Early Settlement, and shall instruct the Securities Intermediary to Transfer all such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or Notes underlying such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes or Proceeds of the Treasury Unit Collateral, as the case may be, to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to such Holder, in each case free and clear of the Pledge created hereby.

Holders of Corporate Units and Treasury Units may only effect Early Settlement pursuant to this Section 5.06 in integral multiples of 20 Corporate

Units or 20 Treasury Units, as the case may be. If Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio have replaced Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes as a component of the Corporate Units, Corporate Units Holders may only effect Early Settlement pursuant to this Section 5.06 in integral multiples of 16,000 Corporate Units.

Upon Early Settlement of the Purchase Contracts, the rights of the Holders to receive and the obligation of the Company to pay any Contract Adjustment Payments (including any deferred Contract Adjustment Payments and Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) with respect to such Purchase Contracts shall immediately and automatically terminate, except as provided in Section 5.09(d).

(c) Upon Early Settlement of Purchase Contracts by a Holder of the related Units, the Company shall issue, and the Holder shall be entitled to receive, a number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock equal to the product of 0.85 and the Settlement Rate calculated as set forth in Section 5.01(a) for each Purchase Contract as to which Early Settlement is effected.

(d) No later than the third Business Day after the Early Settlement Date, the Company shall cause the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock issuable upon Early Settlement of Purchase Contracts to be issued and delivered, accompanied with a payment of Cash equal to the aggregate deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon), if any, through the Payment Date immediately preceding such Early Settlement Date.

(e) Upon Early Settlement of any Purchase Contracts, and subject to receipt of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock from the Company and the Notes, the Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio or the applicable Proceeds of the Treasury Unit Collateral, as the case may be, from the Securities Intermediary, as applicable, the Purchase Contract Agent shall, in accordance with the instructions provided by the Holder thereof on the applicable form of Election to Settle Early on the reverse of the Certificate evidencing the related Units:

(i) transfer to the Holder the Notes, the Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio or the applicable Proceeds of the Treasury Unit Collateral related to such Units, as the case may be,

(ii) deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the full number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock issuable upon such Early Settlement, and

(iii) if so required under the Securities Act, deliver a Prospectus for the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock issuable upon such Early Settlement as contemplated by Section 5.06(a).

(f) In the event that Early Settlement is effected with respect to Purchase Contracts underlying less than all the Units evidenced by a Certificate, upon such Early Settlement the Company shall execute and the Purchase Contract Agent shall execute on behalf of the Holder, authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a Certificate evidencing the Units as to which Early Settlement was not effected.

Section 5.07. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be issued or delivered upon settlement on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or the Triggered Early Settlement Date, as applicable, or upon Early Settlement or Fundamental Change Early Settlement of any Purchase Contracts.

Section 5.08. Charges and Taxes. The Company will pay all stock transfer and similar taxes attributable to the initial issuance and delivery of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the Purchase Contracts; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any such tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any exchange of or substitution for a Certificate evidencing a Unit or any issuance of a share of Convertible Preferred Stock in a name other than that of the registered Holder of a Certificate surrendered in respect of the Units evidenced thereby, other than in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent, as custodian for such Holder, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such share certificates or Certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the transfer or issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

Section 5.09. Contract Adjustment Payments. (a) Subject to Section 5.09(d), the Company shall pay, on each Payment Date, the Contract Adjustment Payments payable in respect of each Purchase Contract for the period from and including the immediately preceding Payment Date on which Contract Adjustment Payments were paid (or if none, November 5, 2010) to but excluding such Payment Date to the Person in whose name a Certificate is registered at the close of business on the Record Date relating to such Payment Date. Contract Adjustment Payments on Global Certificates will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Depositary. If the book-entry system for the Units has been terminated, the Contract Adjustment Payments will be payable at the office of the Purchase Contract Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, New York maintained for that purpose or, at the option of the Company, by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto at such Person’s address as it appears on the Security Register as of the Record Date, or

by wire transfer to the account designated by such Person by a prior written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent, given at least ten calendar days prior to the Payment Date. If any Payment Date is not a Business Day, then payment of the Contract Adjustment Payments payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day; provided that if such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, the payment date for Contract Adjustment Payments or other distributions shall be brought forward to the immediately preceding Business Day; provided further that no interest or other amount shall accrue or be payable by the Company or to any Holder in respect of such delay. Contract Adjustment Payments payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Contract Adjustment Payments will accrue from November 5, 2010.

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Company’s obligation to pay future Contract Adjustment Payments and any deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) shall cease.

(c) Each Certificate delivered under this Agreement upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of (including as a result of a Collateral Substitution or the recreation of Corporate Units) any other Certificate shall carry the right to accrued and unpaid Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon), which right was carried by the Purchase Contracts underlying such other Certificates.

(d) In the case of any Unit with respect to which Early Settlement or Fundamental Change Early Settlement of the underlying Purchase Contract is effected on a date that is after any Record Date and prior to or on the next succeeding Payment Date, Contract Adjustment Payments and deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) otherwise payable on such Payment Date shall be payable on such Payment Date notwithstanding such Early Settlement or Fundamental Change Early Settlement, and such Contract Adjustment Payments and deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) shall be paid to the Person in whose name the Certificate evidencing such Unit is registered at the close of business on such Record Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the immediately preceding sentence, in the case of any Unit with respect to which Early Settlement of the underlying Purchase Contract is effected, Contract Adjustment Payments that would otherwise have accrued after the most recent Payment Date with respect to such Purchase Contract shall not be payable.

Section 5.10. Deferral of Contract Adjustment Payments.

(a) The Company has the right at any time, and from time to time, to defer payment of all or part of the Contract Adjustment Payments in respect of each Purchase Contract by extending the period for payment of Contract Adjustment Payments to any subsequent Payment Date (an “Extension Period”), but not beyond the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or the Triggered Early Settlement Date, as applicable (or, with respect to Purchase Contracts for which (i) an effective Fundamental Change Early Settlement has occurred, the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date or (ii) an effective Early Settlement has occurred, the quarterly Payment Date immediately preceding the Early Settlement Date). Prior to the expiration of any Extension Period, the Company may further extend such Extension Period to any subsequent Payment Date, but not beyond the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or the Triggered Early Settlement Date, as applicable (or any applicable Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date or Payment Date immediately preceding the Early Settlement Date, as the case may be).

If the Company so elects to defer Contract Adjustment Payments, the Company shall pay additional Contract Adjustment Payments on such deferred installments of Contract Adjustment Payments at a rate equal to 4.75% per annum, compounding on each succeeding Payment Date, until such deferred installments are paid in full (the accrued additional Contract Adjustment Payments thereon, being referred to herein as the “Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments”). The Company may pay any such Deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) on any scheduled Payment Date.

At the end of each Extension Period, including as the same may be extended as provided above, or, in the event of an effective Early Settlement or Fundamental Change Early Settlement, on the Early Settlement Date or Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date, as the case may be, the Company shall pay all deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) then due in the manner set forth in Section 5.09(a) (in the case of the end of an Extension Period), in the manner set forth in Section 5.06(b) (in the case of an Early Settlement) or in the manner set forth in Section 5.04 (in the case of a Fundamental Change Early Settlement) to the extent such amounts are not deducted from the amount otherwise payable by the Holder in the case of any Early Settlement or any Fundamental Change Early Settlement. In the event of an Early Settlement, the Company shall pay all deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) then payable, if any, on the Purchase Contracts being settled early through the Payment Date immediately preceding the applicable Early Settlement Date. In the event of a Fundamental Change Early Settlement, the Company shall pay all deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) due on the Purchase Contracts being settled on the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date to but excluding such Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date.

Upon termination of any Extension Period and the payment of all deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) and all accrued and unpaid Contract Adjustment Payments then due, the Company may commence a new Extension Period; provided that such Extension Period, together with all extensions thereof, may not extend beyond the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or the Triggered Early Settlement Date, as applicable (or any applicable Early Settlement Date or Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date). Except in the case of an Early Settlement or Fundamental Change Early Settlement, no Contract Adjustment Payments shall be due and payable during an Extension Period except at the end thereof.

(b) The Company shall give written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent (and the Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly thereafter give notice thereof to Holders of Purchase Contracts) of its election to extend any period for the payment of Contract Adjustment Payments, the expected length of any such Extension Period and any extension of any Extension Period, at least five Business Days before the earlier of (i) the Record Date for the Payment Date on which Contract Adjustment Payments would have been payable except for the election to begin or extend the Extension Period or (ii) the date the Purchase Contract Agent is required to give notice to any securities exchange or to Holders of Purchase Contracts of such Record Date or such Payment Date.

(c) The Company shall give written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent (and the Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly thereafter give notice thereof to Holders of Purchase Contracts) of the end of an Extension Period or its election to pay any portion of the deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) on a Payment Date prior to the end of an Extension Period, at least five Business Days before the earlier of (i) the Record Date for the Payment Date on which such Extension Period shall end or such payment of deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) shall be made or (ii) the date the Purchase Contract Agent is required to give notice to any securities exchange or to Holders of Purchase Contracts of such Record Date or such Payment Date.

(d) In the event the Company exercises its option to defer the payment of Contract Adjustment Payments, then, until all deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) have been paid, the Company shall not declare or pay any dividends on, or make any distributions on, or redeem, purchase or acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any shares of the Company’s capital stock; provided that the foregoing does not apply to:

(i) any exchange, redemption or conversion of any class or series of the Company’s capital stock, or the capital stock of one of the Company’s Subsidiaries, for any other class or series of the Company’s capital stock;

(ii) any purchase of, or payment of cash in lieu of, fractional interests in shares of the Company’s capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the securities being converted or exchanged; and

(iii) any dividend in the form of stock, warrants, options or other rights where the dividend stock or stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks equally with or junior to such stock.

Section 6.05. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Agreement agree, and each Holder of a Unit, by its acceptance of such Unit shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court of competent jurisdiction may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Agreement, or in any suit against the Purchase Contract Agent for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Purchase Contract Agent, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided that the provisions of this Section 6.05 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Purchase Contract Agent, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Units, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the obligation to pay interest on any Notes owed pursuant to such Holder’s Notes or Contract Adjustment Payments on or after the respective Payment Date therefor in respect of any Unit held by such Holder, or for enforcement of the right to purchase shares of Convertible Preferred Stock under the Purchase Contracts constituting part of any Unit held by such Holder.

Section 6.06. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Agreement; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Purchase Contract Agent or the Holders, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

ARTICLE 7

THE PURCHASE CONTRACT AGENT

Section 7.01. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

(a) The Purchase Contract Agent:

(i) undertakes to perform, with respect to the Units, such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and the Remarketing Agreement to be performed by the Purchase Contract Agent and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or the Remarketing Agreement against the Purchase Contract Agent; and

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, 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 Purchase Contract Agent and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement or the Remarketing Agreement, as applicable, but in the case of any certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Purchase Contract Agent, the Purchase Contract Agent shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Agreement or the Remarketing Agreement, as applicable (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of the mathematical calculations or other facts or matters stated therein).

(b) No provision of this Agreement or the Remarketing Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Purchase Contract Agent from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(i) this Section 7.01(b) shall not be construed to limit the effect of Section 7.01(a) or Section 7.01(c);

(ii) the Purchase Contract Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be conclusively determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Purchase Contract Agent was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

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

Indemnitees or any of them for following any instructions, acting upon any notices or other directions (which shall include an instruction, notice or direction not to act) upon which any of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary is entitled to conclusively rely pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, provided that the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary has not acted with gross negligence or engaged in willful misconduct with respect to the specific Loss against which indemnification is sought; and

(c) in addition to and not in limitation of paragraph (b) of this Section 15.08, indemnify and hold the Pledge Indemnitees and each of them harmless from and against any and all Losses that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against, the Pledge Indemnitees or any of them in connection with or arising out of the Collateral Agent’s, the Custodial Agent’s or the Securities Intermediary’s acceptance or performance of its rights, powers and duties under this Agreement, including but not limited to the rights and powers set forth in Section 15.09, provided the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary has not acted with gross negligence or engaged in willful misconduct with respect to the specific Loss against which indemnification is sought.

The provisions of this Section 15.08 and Section 15.14 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 15.09. Failure to Act. In the event that, in the good faith belief of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, an ambiguity in the provisions of this Agreement arises or any actual dispute between or conflicting claims by or among the parties hereto or any other Person with respect to any funds or property deposited hereunder has been asserted in writing, then at its sole option, each of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall be entitled, after prompt notice to the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent, to refuse to comply with any and all claims, demands or instructions with respect to such property or funds so long as such dispute or conflict shall continue, and the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, shall not be or become liable in any way to any of the parties hereto for its failure or refusal to comply with such conflicting claims, demands or instructions. The Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall be entitled to refuse to act until either:

(b) the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary shall have received security or an indemnity satisfactory to it sufficient to hold it harmless from and against any and all loss, liability or reasonable out-of-pocket expense which it may without gross negligence or willful misconduct incur by reason of its acting.

The Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary may in addition elect to commence an interpleader action or seek other judicial relief or orders as the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary may deem necessary. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, none of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary shall be required to take any action that is in its opinion contrary to law or to the terms of this Agreement, or which would in its opinion subject it or any of its officers, employees or directors to liability.

Section 15.10. Resignation of Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary. (a) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary as provided below:

(ii) the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary may be removed at any time by the Company upon written notice thereof; and

(iii) if the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary fails to perform any of its material obligations hereunder in any material respect for a period of not less than 20 calendar days after receiving written notice of such failure by the Purchase Contract Agent and such failure shall be continuing, the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary may be removed by the Purchase Contract Agent, acting at the direction of the Holders of a majority in number of the Outstanding Units.

The Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly notify the Company upon the transmission of notice as contemplated by clause (iii) of this Section 15.10(a) and any removal of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 15.10. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Company shall have the right to appoint a successor Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary, as the case may be. If no successor Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary shall

110

have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 45 calendar days after the retiring Collateral Agent’s, Custodial Agent’s or Securities Intermediary’s giving of notice of resignation or the Company’s or the Purchase Contract Agent’s giving notice of such removal, then the retiring or removed Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary may petition any court of competent jurisdiction, at the expense of the Company, for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary. The Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall each be a bank or a national banking association which has an office (or an agency office) in New York City with a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, such successor Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, and the retiring Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, shall take all appropriate action, subject to payment of any amounts then due and payable to it hereunder, to transfer any money and property held by it hereunder (including the Collateral) to such successor. The retiring Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary shall, upon such succession, be discharged from its duties and obligations as Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary hereunder. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s, Custodial Agent’s or Securities Intermediary’s resignation hereunder as Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary, the provisions of this Article 15 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary. Any resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary hereunder, at a time when such Person is also acting as the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement as the simultaneous resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary or the Custodial Agent, as the case may be.

Section 15.11. Right to Appoint Agent or Advisor. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to appoint agents or advisors in connection with any of its duties hereunder, and the Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by, or in conclusive reliance upon the advice of, such agents or advisors selected in good faith.

Corporate Units

This Corporate Units Certificate certifies that is the registered Holder of the number of Corporate Units set forth above [For inclusion in Global

A-1

Certificates only - or such other number of Corporate Units reflected in the Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Global Certificate attached hereto]. Each Corporate Unit consists of (i) an Applicable Ownership Interest in a Note or an Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio), subject to the Pledge thereof by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and (ii) the rights and obligations of the Holder under one Purchase Contract with the Company.

All capitalized terms used herein without definition herein and which are defined in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement (as defined on the reverse hereof) have the meaning set forth therein.

Pursuant to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, the Applicable Ownership Interest in Notes or the Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio), as the case may be, constituting part of each Corporate Unit evidenced hereby has been pledged to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Company, to secure the obligations of the Holder under the Purchase Contract comprising part of such Corporate Unit.

All payments of the principal amount with respect to the Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes or all payments with respect to the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio), as the case may be, or payments of interest on the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes or distributions with respect to the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (ii) of the definition of Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio), as the case may be, constituting part of the Corporate Units shall be paid on the dates and in the manner set forth in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. Interest on the Notes underlying the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes or distributions on the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (ii) of the definition of Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio), as the case may be, forming part of the Corporate Units evidenced hereby, which is payable on each Payment Date, shall, subject to receipt thereof by the Purchase Contract Agent, be paid to the Person in whose name this Corporate Units Certificate (or a Predecessor Corporate Units Certificate) is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Payment Date.

The Company shall pay, on each Payment Date, in respect of each Purchase Contract forming part of a Corporate Unit evidenced hereby, an amount (the “Contract Adjustment Payments”) equal to 0.50% per year of the Stated Amount for the period from and including the immediately preceding Payment

A-2

Date on which Contract Adjustment Payments were paid (or if none, November 5, 2010) to but excluding such Payment Date. Such Contract Adjustment Payments shall be payable to the Person in whose name this Corporate Units Certificate is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Payment Date. The Company may, at its option, defer such Contract Adjustment Payments as described in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. The Contract Adjustment Payments are unsecured and will rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future Indebtedness.

Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby obligates the Holder of this Corporate Units Certificate to purchase, and the Company to sell, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or the Triggered Early Settlement Date, as applicable, at a Purchase Price equal to the Stated Amount, a number of newly issued shares of Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, equal to the Settlement Rate, unless on or prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or the Triggered Early Settlement Date, as applicable there shall have occurred a Termination Event, an Early Settlement or a Fundamental Change Early Settlement with respect to such Purchase Contract, all as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. The Purchase Price for the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock purchased pursuant to each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby, if not paid earlier, shall be paid on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or the Triggered Early Settlement Date, as applicable by application of payment received in the Final Remarketing or the Triggered Early Remarketing, as applicable, of the Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes equal to the principal amount thereof or the proceeds of the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio), as the case may be, pledged to secure the obligations under such Purchase Contract of the Holder of the Corporate Units of which such Purchase Contract is a part.

Interest on the Notes or distributions on the Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, and the Contract Adjustment Payments will be payable at the office of the Purchase Contract Agent in New York City, except that all payments with respect to Global Certificates will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Depositary. If the book-entry system for the Corporate Units has been terminated, the Contract Adjustment Payments will be payable, at the option of the Company, by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto at such Person’s address as it appears on the Security Register, or by wire transfer to the account designated by such Person by prior written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent, given at least ten calendar days prior to the Payment Date.

Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby obligates the holder to agree, for United States federal income tax purposes, to (i) treat its acquisition of the Corporate Units as an acquisition of the Note and Purchase Contract constituting

A-3

each Corporate Unit, (ii) treat the Notes as indebtedness of the Company and (iii) treat itself as the owner of the applicable interests in the Collateral Account, including the Notes.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Purchase Contract Agent by manual signature, this Corporate Units Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

(REVERSE OF CORPORATE UNITS CERTIFICATE)

Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby is governed by a Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, dated as of November 5, 2010 (as may be supplemented from time to time, the “Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, National Association, as Purchase Contract Agent (including its successors thereunder, the “Purchase Contract Agent”), and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent and Securities Intermediary (including its successors thereunder, the “Collateral Agent”), to which Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and supplemental agreements thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Company, and the Holders and of the terms upon which the Corporate Units Certificates are, and are to be, executed and delivered.

No fractional shares of Convertible Preferred Stock will be issued upon settlement of Purchase Contracts, as provided in Section 5.07 of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement.

Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby that is settled through Early Settlement or Fundamental Change Early Settlement shall obligate the Holder of the related Corporate Units to purchase at the Purchase Price, and the Company to sell, a number of newly issued shares of Convertible Preferred Stock equal to Early Settlement Rate (in the case of an Early Settlement) or applicable Settlement Rate (in the case of a Fundamental Change Early Settlement).

In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, unless a Termination Event shall have occurred, the Holder of this Corporate Units Certificate shall pay the Purchase Price for the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock purchased pursuant to each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby by effecting an Early Settlement or, if applicable, a Fundamental Change Early Settlement or from the proceeds of the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio) or a Final Remarketing or a Triggered Early Remarketing, as applicable, of the Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes.

A-7

As provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Failed Final Remarketing or a Failed Triggered Early Remarketing, as applicable, as of the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or the Triggered Early Settlement Date, as applicable, each Holder of any Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes shall be deemed to have exercised such Holder’s Put Right with respect to the Notes and to have elected to apply the Proceeds of the Put Right equal to the aggregate Purchase Price against such Holder’s obligation to pay the aggregate Purchase Price for the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be issued under the related Purchase Contracts in full satisfaction of such Holder’s Obligations under such Purchase Contracts.

The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock in respect of a Purchase Contract or deliver any certificates therefor to the Holder unless it shall have received payment of the aggregate Purchase Price for the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be purchased thereunder in the manner set forth in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement.

Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby and all obligations and rights of the Company and the Holder thereunder, including, without limitation, the rights of the Holders to receive and the obligation of the Company to pay any Contract Adjustment Payments, shall terminate if a Termination Event shall occur. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Company shall give written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent and to the Holders, at their addresses as they appear in the Security Register. Upon and after the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Collateral Agent shall release the Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes or the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of such term) forming a part of each Corporate Unit from the Pledge. A Corporate Unit shall thereafter represent the right to receive the Notes underlying the Applicable Ownership Interest in the Notes or the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement.

Under the terms of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, the Purchase Contract Agent will be entitled to exercise the voting and any other consensual rights pertaining to the Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, but only to the extent instructed in writing by the Holders. Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which holders of Notes are entitled to vote or upon any solicitation of consents, waivers or proxies of holders of Notes, the Purchase Contract Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, mail, first class, postage pre-paid, to the Holders of Corporate Units the notice required by the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement.

A-8

The Corporate Units Certificates are issuable only in registered form and only in denominations of a single Corporate Unit and any integral multiple thereof. The transfer of any Corporate Units Certificate will be registered and Corporate Units Certificates may be exchanged as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. A Holder who elects to substitute Cash for the Note thereby creating Treasury Units or Cash Settled Units, shall be responsible for any fees or expenses payable in connection therewith. Except as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, such Corporate Unit shall not be separable into its constituent parts, and the rights and obligations of the Holder of such Corporate Unit in respect of the Note and Purchase Contract constituting such Corporate Unit may be transferred and exchanged only as a Corporate Unit.

Subject to, and in compliance with, the conditions and terms set forth in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, the Holder of Corporate Units may effect a Collateral Substitution. From and after such Collateral Substitution, each Unit for which a Pro Rata Portion of the Treasury Unit Collateral secures the Holder’s obligation under the Purchase Contract shall be referred to as a “Treasury Unit”, and each Unit for which Pledged Cash secures the Holder’s obligation under the Purchase Contract shall be referred to as a “Cash Settled Units”. Subject to certain exceptions in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, a Holder may make such Collateral Substitution only in integral multiples of 10 Corporate Units for 10 Treasury Units or 10 Cash Settled Units, as the case may be.

Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of, and certain exceptions described in, the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, at the option of the Holder thereof, Purchase Contracts underlying Units may be settled early by effecting an Early Settlement or Fundamental Change Early Settlement as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement.

Upon registration of transfer of this Corporate Units Certificate, the transferee shall be bound (without the necessity of any other action on the part of such transferee, except as may be required by the Purchase Contract Agent pursuant to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement), under the terms of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and the Purchase Contracts evidenced hereby and the transferor shall be released from the obligations under the Purchase Contracts evidenced by this Corporate Units Certificate. The Company covenants and agrees, and the Holder, by its acceptance hereof, likewise covenants and agrees, to be bound by the provisions of this paragraph.

The Holder of this Corporate Units Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, authorizes the Purchase Contract Agent to enter into and perform the related Purchase Contracts forming part of the Corporate Units evidenced hereby on its behalf as its attorney-in-fact, expressly withholds any consent to the assumption (i.e., affirmance) of the Purchase Contracts by the Company or its trustee in the

A-9

event that the Company becomes the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions thereof, covenants and agrees to perform its obligations under such Purchase Contracts, consents to the provisions of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, authorizes the Purchase Contract Agent to enter into and perform the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement on its behalf as its attorney-in-fact, and consents to the Pledge of the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes and the underlying Notes or the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio), as the case may be, underlying this Corporate Units Certificate pursuant to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. The Holder further covenants and agrees that, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, but subject to the terms thereof, any payments with respect the Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes (other than interest payments thereon) or the Proceeds of the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio), as the case may be, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or the Triggered Early Settlement Date, as applicable, equal to the aggregate Purchase Price for the related Purchase Contracts shall be paid by the Collateral Agent to the Company in satisfaction of such Holder’s obligations under the related Purchase Contracts and such Holder shall acquire no right, title or interest in such payments.

Subject to certain exceptions, the provisions of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement may be amended with the consent of the Holders of a majority of the Purchase Contracts.

The Purchase Contracts shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the conflicts of law provisions thereof to the extent a different law would govern as a result.

The Purchase Contracts shall not, prior to the settlement thereof, entitle the Holder to any of the rights of a holder of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock or Common Stock.

Prior to due presentment of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Company, the Purchase Contract Agent and its Affiliates and any agent of the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent may treat the Person in whose name this Corporate Units Certificate is registered as the owner of the Corporate Units evidenced hereby for the purpose of receiving payments of interest payable on the Notes underlying the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, receiving payments of Contract Adjustment Payments (subject to any applicable record date) and payments of Contract Adjustment Payments (subject to any applicable record date), performance of the Purchase Contracts and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payments in respect thereof be overdue and

A-10

notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, and neither the Company, the Purchase Contract Agent nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

A copy of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement is available for inspection at the offices of the Purchase Contract Agent during regular business hours.

Treasury Units

This Treasury Units Certificate certifies that is the registered Holder of the number of Treasury Units set forth above [For inclusion in Global Certificates only - or such other number of Treasury Units reflected in the Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Global Certificate attached hereto]. Each Treasury Unit consists of (i) an undivided beneficial ownership interest in a Pro Rata Portion of the Treasury Unit Collateral, subject to the Pledge of such Treasury Security by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, and (ii) the rights and obligations of the Holder under one Purchase Contract with the Company.

All capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement (as defined on the reverse hereof) have the meaning set forth therein.

Pursuant to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, the Pro Rata Portion of the Treasury Unit Collateral underlying each Treasury Unit evidenced hereby has been pledged to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Company, to secure the obligations of the Holder under the Purchase Contract comprising part of such Treasury Unit.

The Company shall pay, on each Payment Date, in respect of each Purchase Contract forming part of a Treasury Unit evidenced hereby, an amount (the “Contract Adjustment Payments”) equal to 0.50% per year of the Stated Amount. Such Contract Adjustment Payments shall be payable to the Person in whose name this Treasury Units Certificate is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Payment Date. The Company may, at its option, defer such Contract Adjustment Payments, as described in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. The Contract Adjustment Payments are unsecured and will rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future Indebtedness.

Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby obligates the Holder of this Treasury Units Certificate to purchase, and the Company to sell, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or the Triggered Early Settlement Date, as applicable, at a Purchase Price equal to the Stated Amount, a number of newly issued shares of Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company, equal to the Settlement Rate, unless prior to or on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or the Triggered Early Settlement Date, as applicable, there shall have occurred a Termination Event, an Early Settlement or a Fundamental Change Early Settlement with respect to such Purchase Contract, all as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. The Purchase Price for the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock purchased pursuant to each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby, if not paid

B-2

earlier, shall be paid on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or the Triggered Early Settlement Date, as applicable, by application of the proceeds from the Pro Rata Portion of the Treasury Unit Collateral pledged to secure the obligations under such Purchase Contract of the Holder of the Treasury Units of which such Purchase Contract is a part.

Contract Adjustment Payments will be payable at the office of the Purchase Contract Agent in New York City, except that Contract Adjustment Payments with respect to Global Certificates will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Depositary. If the book-entry system for the Corporate Units has been terminated, the Contract Adjustment Payments will be payable, at the option of the Company, by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto at such Person’s address as it appears on the Security Register, or by wire transfer to the account designated by such Person by prior written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent, given at least ten calendar days prior to the Payment Date.

Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby obligates the holder to agree, for United States federal income tax purposes, to (i) treat its acquisition of the Treasury Units as an acquisition of the Pro Rata Portion of the Treasury Unit Collateral and Purchase Contracts constituting the Treasury Units and (ii) treat itself as the owner of the applicable Pro Rata Portion of the Treasury Unit Collateral.

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Purchase Contract Agent by manual signature, this Treasury Units Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company and the Holder specified above have caused this instrument to be duly executed.

(REVERSE OF TREASURY UNITS CERTIFICATE)

Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby is governed by a Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, dated as of November 5, 2010 (as may be supplemented from time to time, the “Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement”) between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, National Association, as Purchase Contract Agent (including its successors thereunder, herein called the “Purchase Contract Agent”), and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent and Securities Intermediary (including its successors thereunder, the “Collateral Agent”), to which Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and supplemental agreements thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Company and the Holders and of the terms upon which the Treasury Units Certificates are, and are to be, executed and delivered.

No fractional shares of Convertible Preferred Stock will be issued upon settlement of Purchase Contracts, as provided in Section 5.07 of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement.

Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby that is settled through Early Settlement or Fundamental Change Early Settlement shall obligate the Holder of the related Treasury Units to purchase at the Purchase Price and the Company to sell, a number of newly issued shares of Convertible Preferred Stock equal to the Early Settlement Rate (in the case of an Early Settlement) or applicable Settlement Rate (in the case of a Fundamental Change Early Settlement).

In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, the Holder of this Treasury Units Certificate shall pay the Purchase Price for the shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock to be purchased pursuant to each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby either by effecting an Early Settlement or, if applicable, a Fundamental Change Early Settlement of each such Purchase Contract or by applying the proceeds of the Pro Rata Portion of the Treasury Unit Collateral underlying such Holder’s Treasury Unit equal to the Purchase Price for such Purchase Contract to the purchase of the Convertible Preferred Stock.

B-5

As provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Failed Final Remarketing or a Failed Triggered Early Remarketing, as applicable, as of the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or the Triggered Early Settlement Date, as applicable, each Holder of Treasury Units shall be deemed to have elected to apply a portion of the Cash constituting such Holder’s Pro Rata Portions of the Treasury Unit Collateral equal to the aggregate Purchase Price for the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be issued under the related Purchase Contracts to satisfy such Holder’s obligation to pay such aggregate Purchase Price in full satisfaction of such Holder’s Obligations under such Purchase Contracts.

Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby and all obligations and rights of the Company and the Holder thereunder, shall terminate if a Termination Event shall occur. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Company shall give written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent and the Holders, at their addresses as they appear in the Security Register. Upon and after the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Collateral Agent shall release the Pro Rata Portion of the Treasury Unit Collateral underlying each Treasury Unit from the Pledge. A Treasury Unit shall thereafter represent the right to receive the Pro Rata Portion of the Treasury Unit Collateral underlying such Treasury Unit, in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement.

The Treasury Units Certificates are issuable only in registered form and only in denominations of a single Treasury Unit and any integral multiple thereof. The transfer of any Treasury Units Certificate will be registered and Treasury Units Certificates may be exchanged as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. A Holder who elects to substitute Notes for the Pro Rata Portion of the Treasury Unit Collateral, thereby recreating Corporate Units, shall be responsible for any fees or expenses payable in connection therewith. Except as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, such Treasury Unit shall not be separable into its constituent parts, and the rights and obligations of the Holder of such Treasury Unit in respect of the Pro Rata Portion of the Treasury Unit Collateral and the Purchase Contract constituting such Treasury Unit may be transferred and exchanged only as a Treasury Unit.

Subject to, and in compliance with, the conditions and terms set forth in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, the Holder of Treasury Units may effect a Collateral Substitution. From and after such substitution, each Unit for which Pledged Notes secure the Holder’s obligation under the Purchase Contract

B-6

shall be referred to as a “Corporate Unit”. Subject to certain exceptions described in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, a Holder may make such Collateral Substitution only in integral multiples of 10 Treasury Units for 10 Corporate Units.

Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, at the option of the Holder thereof, Purchase Contracts underlying Units may be settled early by effecting an Early Settlement or a Fundamental Change Early Settlement as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement.

Upon registration of transfer of this Treasury Units Certificate, the transferee shall be bound (without the necessity of any other action on the part of such transferee, except as may be required by the Purchase Contract Agent pursuant to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement), under the terms of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and the Purchase Contracts evidenced hereby and the transferor shall be released from the obligations under the Purchase Contracts evidenced by this Treasury Units Certificate. The Company covenants and agrees, and the Holder, by its acceptance hereof, likewise covenants and agrees, to be bound by the provisions of this paragraph.

The Holder of this Treasury Units Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, authorizes the Purchase Contract Agent to enter into and perform the related Purchase Contracts forming part of the Treasury Units evidenced hereby on its behalf as its attorney-in-fact, expressly withholds any consent to the assumption (i.e., affirmance) of the Purchase Contracts by the Company or its trustee in the event that the Company becomes the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions thereof, covenants and agrees to perform its obligations under such Purchase Contracts, consents to the provisions of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, authorizes the Purchase Contract Agent to enter into and perform the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement on its behalf as its attorney-in-fact, and consents to the Pledge of the Pro Rata Portion of the Treasury Unit Collateral underlying this Treasury Units Certificate pursuant to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. The Holder further covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, but subject to the terms thereof, payments in respect of the Treasury Unit Collateral on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or the Triggered Early Settlement Date, as applicable, equal to the aggregate Purchase Price for the related Purchase Contracts shall be paid by the Collateral Agent to the Company in satisfaction of such Holder’s obligations under such Purchase Contracts and such Holder shall acquire no right, title or interest in such payments.

B-7

Subject to certain exceptions, the provisions of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement may be amended with the consent of the Holders of a majority of the Purchase Contracts.

The Purchase Contracts shall not, prior to the settlement thereof, entitle the Holder to any of the rights of a holder of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock or Common Stock.

Prior to due presentment of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Company, the Purchase Contract Agent and its Affiliates and any agent of the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent may treat the Person in whose name this Treasury Units Certificate is registered as the owner of the Treasury Units evidenced hereby for the purpose of receiving payments of Contract Adjustment Payments (subject to any applicable record date), performance of the Purchase Contracts and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payments in respect thereof be overdue and notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, and neither the Company, the Purchase Contract Agent nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
