Section 1.06. Notice to Holders; Waiver. Where this Agreement provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at its address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Agreement provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. 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 Jury Trial. THIS AGREEMENT, THE UNITS AND THE PURCHASE CONTRACTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND PERFORMED WHOLLY WITHIN SUCH STATE. The Company, the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Holders from time to time of the Units, acting through the Purchase Contract Agent as their attorney-in-fact, hereby submit to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York state court sitting in New York City for the purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company, the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Holders from time to time of the Units, acting through the Purchase Contract Agent as their attorney-in-fact, irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the Company, the Purchase Contract Agent, the Holders from time to time of the Units, the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 1.12. Legal Holidays. In any case where any Contract Adjustment 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 other distributions shall be paid on the next succeeding Business Day; provided that no interest shall accrue or be payable by the Company or to any Holder in respect of such delay.

In any case where the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or any 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 and Fundamental Change Early Settlement shall not be effected on such date, but Purchase Contracts shall be performed or 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 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.

Any such appointment shall not relieve the Company in any way from its obligations hereunder.

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 UNITS

Section 3.01. Amount; Form and Denominations. The aggregate number of Units evidenced by Certificates authenticated, executed on behalf of the Holders and delivered hereunder will initially consist of 22,000,000 Units , except for Certificates authenticated, executed and delivered upon registration of transfer of, in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Certificates pursuant to Section 3.04, Section 3.05, Section 3.10, Section 3.13, Section 3.14 or Section 8.05.

The Certificates shall be issuable only in registered form and only in denominations of a single Corporate Unit or Treasury 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, 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, 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 Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of Applicable Ownership

Interest in the Treasury Portfolio) to secure the obligation of the Holder under each Purchase Contract to purchase shares of Common 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 Securities Intermediary the Notes underlying the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes by delivering such Notes indorsed in blank.

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 a 1/20, or 5%, undivided beneficial ownership interest in a Treasury Security with a principal amount at maturity equal to $1,000, 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, such Holder’s interest in the Treasury Security forming a part of such Treasury Unit to the Collateral Agent, 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 Treasury Security to secure the obligation of the Holder under each Purchase Contract to purchase shares of Common Stock.

Prior to the purchase of shares of Common Stock under each Purchase Contract, such Purchase Contract shall not entitle the Holder of a Unit to any of the rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock, including, without limitation, the right to vote or receive any dividends or other payments or distributions 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 and Section 3.14 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 an Authorized Officer of the Company. The signature of any such Authorized Officer 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 or facsimile signature of an authorized signatory of the Purchase Contract Agent, as such Holder’s attorney-in-fact. Such signature by an authorized signatory 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 signatory 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 or Exhibit B 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 or Treasury 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 in New York City, 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 in New York City, 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 and Treasury Units.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office in New York City, 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, of like tenor, and evidencing a like number of Corporate Units or Treasury 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 or Treasury Units, as the case may be, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office in New York City. 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 or Treasury 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 or Treasury 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 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 not involving any transfer to a person other than the Holder.

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 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:

(i) if the Purchase Contract Settlement Date (including upon any Cash Settlement) or an 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 Common Stock issuable in respect of the Purchase Contracts forming a part of the Units evidenced by such other Certificate (or portion thereof); or

(ii) if a Termination Event, Early Settlement, or Fundamental Change Early Settlement shall have occurred prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, or a Cash Settlement shall have occurred, transfer the Notes, the Treasury Securities, 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 3.15 and Article 5.

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 Depository or its custodian by, or on behalf of, the Company. The Company hereby designates DTC as the initial Depository. Such Global Certificates shall initially be registered on the Security Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the Depository, 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 Depository 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:

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

(ii) the Company shall be entitled to deal with the Depository 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 Depository 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;

(iii) 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

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

Transfers of securities evidenced by Global Certificates shall be made through the facilities of the Depository, and any cancellation of, or increase or decrease in the number of, such securities (including the creation of Treasury Units and the recreation of Corporate Units pursuant to Section 3.13 and Section 3.14 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 Depository or the nominee of the Depository, 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 Depository. If the Depository elects to discontinue its services as securities depository with respect to the Units, the Company may, in its sole discretion, appoint a successor Depository with respect to the Units.

Section 3.09. Definitive Certificates.

If:

(i) the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue its services as securities depository with respect to the Units and no successor Depository has been appointed pursuant to Section 3.08 within 90 days after the Company’s receipt of such notice;

(ii) the Depository ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under Section 17A of the Exchange Act when the Depository is required to be so registered to act as the Depository and the Company receives notice of such cessation, and no successor Depository has been appointed pursuant to Section 3.08 within 90 days after the Company’s receipt of such notice or the Company’s becoming aware of such cessation;

(iii) to the extent permitted by the Depository, the Company determines in its sole discretion at any time that the Units shall no longer be represented by Global Certificates and shall inform such Depository of such determination and participants in such Depository elect to withdraw their beneficial interests in the Units from such Depository, following notification by the Depository of their right to do so; or

(iv) upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any event that after notice or lapse of time would constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Notes;

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 Depository, accompanied by registration instructions, the Company shall cause definitive Certificates to be delivered to Beneficial Owners in accordance with instructions provided by the Depository. 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 or Treasury 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 or Treasury 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, with respect to such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate a new Certificate on or after the Business Day immediately preceding the earliest of any Early Settlement Date, any Fundamental Change 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:

(i) if the Purchase Contract Settlement Date (including upon any Cash Settlement), an 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 Common Stock issuable in respect of the Purchase Contracts forming a part of the Units evidenced by such Certificate; and

(ii) if a Termination Event, Fundamental Change Early Settlement or an Early Settlement with respect to such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall have occurred prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or a Cash Settlement shall have occurred, transfer the Notes, the Treasury Securities 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 3.15 and Article 5.

Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, 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 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 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 Notes underlying the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, 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.

None of the Purchase Contract Agent or the Securities Registrar shall have any responsibility or obligation to any Beneficial Owner in Units represented by a Global Certificate or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of the Depository 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 Depository) 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 Depository or its nominee in the case of a Global Certificate). The rights of Beneficial Owners in the Units underlying a Global Certificate shall be exercised only through the Depository 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 Depository 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 Depository, 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. None of the Purchase Contract Agent or the Securities Registrar shall have any responsibility or liability for any acts or omissions of the Depository with respect to any Units underlying such Global Certificate, for the

records of the Depository, including records in respect of beneficial ownership interests in respect of Units underlying such Global Certificate, for any transactions between the Depository and any agent member or between or among the Depository, any such agent member and/or any Holder or Beneficial Owner in 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 Depository (or its nominee), as a Holder, with respect to such Global Certificate, or impair, as between such Depository and the related Beneficial Owner, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of rights of the Depository (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 Common Stock on or after the Purchase Contract 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 or Treasury Securities, as the case may be, after the occurrence of a Termination Event or pursuant to a Cash Settlement, 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 and upon such cancellation the Notes underlying the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or Treasury Securities, as the case may be, shall be delivered to or upon the order of the Company. 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 Treasury Securities. (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), a Holder of Corporate Units may, at any time from and after the date of this Agreement, other than during the Blackout Period or after a Successful Remarketing, 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, Treasury Securities in an aggregate principal amount at maturity 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 20 Corporate Units. To effect such substitution, the Holder must:

(1) Transfer to the Collateral Agent, for credit to the Collateral Account, Treasury Securities or security entitlements with respect thereto having a Value equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes for which such Collateral Substitution is made, which must be purchased in the open market at such Holder’s expense unless otherwise owned by such Holder; and

(2) 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 C hereto, whereupon the Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly provide an instruction to such effect to the Collateral Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto.

Upon confirmation that the Treasury Securities described in clause (1) above or security entitlements with respect thereto have been credited to the Collateral Account and receipt of the instruction to the Collateral Agent described in clause (2) above, the Collateral Agent shall promptly release such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes from the Pledge by directing the Securities Intermediary by a notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit G 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.

Upon credit to the Collateral Account of Treasury Securities or security entitlements with respect thereto 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.

Upon receipt of the Notes underlying such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, the Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly:

(i) cancel the related Corporate Units;

(ii) Transfer the Notes to the Holder; and

Holders who elect to separate the Notes by substituting Treasury Securities for Applicable Ownership Interest in Notes shall be responsible for any taxes, governmental charges or other fees or expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses payable to the Collateral Agent) attributable to such Collateral Substitution, and neither the Company nor the Purchase Contract Agent shall be responsible for any such taxes, governmental charges or other fees or expenses.

(b) In the event a Holder making a Collateral Substitution pursuant to this Section 3.13 fails to effect a book-entry transfer of the Corporate Units or fails to deliver Corporate Units Certificates to the Purchase Contract Agent after depositing Treasury Securities with the Securities Intermediary, any distributions on the Notes underlying the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes constituting a part of such Corporate Units, shall be held in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent or its nominee in trust for the benefit of such Holder, until such Corporate Units are so transferred or the Corporate Units Certificate is so delivered, as the case may be, or such Holder provides evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent that such Corporate Units Certificate has been destroyed, lost or stolen, together with any indemnity that may be required by the Purchase Contract Agent and the Company.

(c) Except as provided for in this Section 3.13, or in connection with a Cash Settlement, an Early Settlement, a Fundamental Change Early Settlement or a Termination Event, for so long as the Purchase Contract underlying a Corporate Unit remains in effect, such Corporate Unit shall not be separable into its constituent parts, and the rights and obligations of the Holder in respect of the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes or Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, and the Purchase Contract comprising such Corporate Units may be acquired, and may be transferred and exchanged, only as a Corporate Unit.

Section 3.14. Recreation of Corporate Units. (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 in Section 5.02(a), a Holder of Treasury Units may effect a Collateral Substitution and recreate Corporate Units at any time from and after the date of this Agreement, other than during the Blackout Period or after a Successful Remarketing; provided that Holders of Treasury Units may only recreate Corporate Units in integral multiples of 20 Treasury Units. To recreate Corporate Units, the Holder must:

(1) Transfer to the Collateral Agent for credit to the Collateral Account Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the Value of the Pledged Treasury Securities to be released, which must be purchased in the open market at such Holder’s expense unless otherwise owned by such Holder; and

(2) Transfer the related Treasury Units to the Purchase Contract Agent accompanied by a notice to the Purchase Contract Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, whereupon the Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly provide an instruction to such effect to the Collateral Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto.

Upon confirmation that the Notes described in clause (1) above have been credited to the Collateral Account and receipt of the instruction from the Purchase Contract Agent described in clause (2) above, the Collateral Agent shall promptly release such Pledged Treasury Securities from the Pledge by directing the Securities Intermediary by a notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto, to Transfer such Pledged Treasury Securities to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to such Holder, free and clear of the Pledge created hereby.

The substituted Notes will be pledged to the Company through the Collateral Agent to secure such Holder’s obligation to purchase shares of Common Stock under the related Purchase Contract.

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

Upon receipt of such Treasury Securities, the Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly:

(i) cancel the related Treasury Units;

(ii) transfer the Treasury Securities to the Holder; and

(iii) deliver Corporate Units in book-entry form or, if applicable, authenticate, execute on behalf of such Holder and deliver Corporate Units in the form of a Corporate Units Certificate executed by the Company in accordance with Section 3.03 evidencing the same number of Purchase Contracts as were evidenced by the cancelled Treasury Units.

Holders who elect to recreate Corporate Units shall be responsible for any taxes, governmental charges or other fees or expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses payable to the Collateral Agent), attributable to such Collateral Substitution and neither the Company nor the Purchase Contract Agent shall be responsible for any such taxes, governmental charges or other fees or expenses.

(b) Except as provided in this Section 3.14 or in connection with a Cash Settlement, an Early Settlement, a Fundamental Change Early Settlement or a Termination Event, for so long as the Purchase Contract underlying a Treasury Unit remains in effect, 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 interest in the Treasury Security and the Purchase Contract comprising such Treasury Unit may be acquired, and may be transferred and exchanged, only as a Treasury Unit.

Section 3.15. Transfer of Collateral Upon Occurrence of Termination Event. (a) Upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of written notice pursuant to Section 5.07 from the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent that a Termination Event has occurred, the Collateral Agent shall promptly release all Collateral from the Pledge and shall promptly instruct the Securities Intermediary to Transfer:

(i) any Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes or security entitlements with respect thereto or Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio;

(ii) any Pledged Treasury Securities;

(iii) any payments made by Holders (or the Permitted Investments of such payments) pursuant to Section 5.03; and

(iv) any Proceeds and all other payments the Collateral Agent receives in respect of the foregoing,

to the Purchase Contract Agent for the benefit of the Holders for distribution to such Holders, in accordance with their respective interests, free and clear of the Pledge created hereby; provided, however, if any Holder or Beneficial Owner shall be entitled to receive Notes in an aggregate principal amount of less than $1,000, or greater than $1,000 but not in an integral multiple of $1,000, the Purchase Contract Agent shall request, on behalf of such Holder or Beneficial Owner that the Company issue Notes in denominations of $50, or integral multiples thereof, in exchange for Notes in denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof; and provided further, if any Holder shall be entitled to receive, with respect to its Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or its Pledged Treasury Securities, any securities having a principal amount at maturity of less than $1,000, the Purchase Contract Agent shall dispose of such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or Pledged Treasury Securities for cash and deliver to such Holder cash in lieu of delivering the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or Pledged Treasury Securities, as the case may be.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.15(a), if such Termination Event shall result from the Company becoming a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, and if the Collateral Agent shall for any reason fail promptly to effectuate the release and Transfer of all Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, Pledged Treasury Securities and payments by Holders (or the Permitted Investments purchased with such payments) pursuant to Section 5.03 and Proceeds and all other payments received by the Collateral Agent in respect of the foregoing, as the case may be, as provided by this Section 3.15, the Purchase Contract Agent shall use its best efforts to obtain an opinion of a nationally recognized law firm to the effect that, notwithstanding the Company’s being the debtor in such a bankruptcy case, the Collateral Agent will not be prohibited from releasing or Transferring the Collateral as provided in this Section 3.15, and shall deliver or cause to be delivered such opinion to the Collateral Agent within ten days after the occurrence of such Termination Event, and if (A) the Purchase Contract Agent shall be unable to obtain such opinion within ten days after the

occurrence of such Termination Event or (B) the Collateral Agent shall continue, after delivery of such opinion, to refuse to effectuate the release and Transfer of all Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, Pledged Treasury Securities and the payments by Holders (or the Permitted Investments of such payments) pursuant to Section 5.03 and Proceeds and all other payments received by the Collateral Agent in respect of the foregoing, as the case may be, as provided in this Section 3.15, then the Purchase Contract Agent shall within fifteen days after the occurrence of such Termination Event commence an action or proceeding in the court having jurisdiction of the Company’s case under the Bankruptcy Code seeking an order requiring the Collateral Agent to effectuate the release and transfer of all Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, Pledged Treasury Securities and the payments by Holders (or the Permitted Investments purchased with such payments) pursuant to Section 5.03 and Proceeds and all other payments received by the Collateral Agent in respect of the foregoing, or as the case may be, as provided by this Section 3.15.

(c) Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event and the Transfer to the Purchase Contract Agent of the Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, the appropriate Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or the Pledged Treasury Securities, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 3.15, the Purchase Contract Agent shall request transfer instructions with respect to such Notes, Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or Pledged Treasury Securities, as the case may be, from each Holder by written request, substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, mailed to such Holder at its address as it appears in the Security Register.

(d) Upon book-entry transfer of the Corporate Units or the Treasury Units or delivery of a Corporate Units Certificate or Treasury Units Certificate to the Purchase Contract Agent with such transfer instructions, the Purchase Contract Agent shall transfer the Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or Pledged Treasury Securities, as the case may be, underlying such Corporate Units or Treasury Units, as the case may be, to such Holder by book-entry transfer, or other appropriate procedures, in accordance with such instructions and, in the case of the Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. In the event a Holder of Corporate Units or Treasury Units fails to effect such transfer or delivery, the Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or Pledged Treasury Securities, as the case may be, underlying such Corporate Units of Treasury Units, as the case may be, and any distributions thereon, shall be held in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent or its nominee in trust for the benefit of such Holder, until the earlier to occur of:

(i) the transfer of such Corporate Units or Treasury Units or surrender of the Corporate Units Certificate or Treasury Units Certificate or the receipt by the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent from such Holder of satisfactory evidence that such Corporate Units Certificate or Treasury Units Certificate has been destroyed, lost or stolen, together with any indemnity that may be required by the Purchase Contract Agent and the Company; and

(ii) the expiration of the time period specified by the applicable law governing abandoned property in the state in which the Purchase Contract Agent holds such property.

Section 3.16. No Consent to Assumption. Each Holder of a Unit, by acceptance thereof, shall be deemed to have expressly withheld any consent to the assumption under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, of the Purchase Contract by the Company or its trustee, receiver, liquidator or a person or entity performing similar functions in the event that the Company becomes a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code or subject to other similar state or Federal law providing for reorganization or liquidation.

Section 3.17. Substitutions. Whenever a Holder has the right to substitute Treasury Securities or Notes underlying Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, as the case may be, or security entitlements for any of them for financial assets held in the Collateral Account, such substitution shall not constitute a novation of the security interest created hereby.

Upon receipt of any notices and other communications in respect of any Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, including either notice of any meeting at which holders of the Notes are entitled to vote or the solicitation of consents, waivers or proxies of holders of the Notes, the Collateral Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to send promptly to the Purchase Contract Agent such notice or communication, and as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of a written request therefor from the Purchase Contract Agent, to execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent such proxies and other instruments in respect of such Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes as are prepared by the Company and delivered to the Purchase Contract Agent with respect to the Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes.

(b) 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 a notice:

(i) containing such information as is contained in the notice or solicitation;

(ii) stating that each Holder on the record date set by the Purchase Contract Agent therefor (which, to the extent possible, shall be the same date as the record date set by the Company for determining the holders of Notes entitled to vote) shall be entitled to instruct the Purchase Contract Agent as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the Notes underlying the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes that are a component of their Corporate Units; and

(iii) stating the manner in which such instructions may be given.

ARTICLE 5

THE PURCHASE CONTRACTS

Section 5.01. Purchase of Shares of Common Stock. (a) Each Purchase Contract shall obligate the Holder of the related Unit to purchase, and the Company to sell, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date at a price equal to the Stated Amount (the “Purchase Price”), a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Settlement Rate, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with Section 5.09, unless an Early Settlement, a Fundamental Change Early Settlement or a Termination Event with respect to the Units of which such Purchase Contract is a part shall have occurred. The “Settlement Rate” is equal to:

(i) If the Applicable Market Value is equal to or greater than the Threshold Appreciation Price, the Settlement Rate will be 0.5075 shares of Common Stock (such Settlement Rate being referred to as the “Minimum Settlement Rate”);

(ii) if the Applicable Market Value is less than the Threshold Appreciation Price but greater than $74.35 (the “Reference Price”), the Settlement Rate will be a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Stated Amount, divided by the Applicable Market Value; and

(iii) if the Applicable Market Value is less than or equal to the Reference Price, the Settlement Rate will be 0.6725 shares of Common Stock, (such Settlement Rate being referred to as the “Maximum Settlement Rate”);

The Maximum Settlement Rate, Minimum Settlement Rate and the Applicable Market Value (as defined below) are subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.05 (and in each case rounded upward or downward to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share).

The “Applicable Market Value” means the average VWAP of the Common Stock on each Trading Day during the Observation Period; provided, however, that if the Company enters into a Reorganization Event, the Applicable Market Value will mean the value of an Exchange Property Unit. Following the occurrence of any such event, references herein to the purchase or issuance of shares of Common Stock shall be construed to be references to settlement into Exchange Property Units. For purposes of calculating the value of an Exchange Property Unit, (x) the value of any common stock included in the Exchange Property Unit shall be determined using the average of the volume-weighted average prices of such common stock on each Trading Day during the Observation Period (adjusted as set forth under Section 5.05) and (y) the value of any other property, including securities other than common stock included in the Exchange Property Unit, shall be the value of such property on each Trading Day of the Observation Period (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution).

The “VWAP” means, in respect of Common Stock, for the relevant Trading Day, the per share volume weighted average price on the principal exchange or quotation system on which our common stock is listed or admitted for trading as displayed under the heading Bloomberg VWAP on Bloomberg page UTX <Equity> AQR (or its equivalent successor if such page is not available) in respect of the period from the scheduled open of trading on the relevant Trading Day until the scheduled close of trading on the relevant Trading Day (or if such volume-weighted average price is unavailable, the market price of one share of Common Stock on such Trading Day determined, using a volume-weighted average method, by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained for this purpose by the Company).

The “Observation Period” means the 20 consecutive Trading Days ending on the third scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date; provided that if 20 Trading Days for the Common Stock have not occurred prior to the third scheduled Trading Day immediately prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, all remaining Trading Days shall be deemed to occur on that third scheduled Trading Day and the VWAP for each of the remaining Trading Days will be the VWAP on such third scheduled Trading Day or, if such day is not a Trading Day, the Closing Price as determined in its reasonable discretion by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained by the Company for this purpose.

The “Closing Price” per share of Common Stock means, on any date of determination, the closing sale price or, if no closing sale price is reported, the last reported sale price per share of Common Stock on the principal U.S. securities exchange on which the Common Stock in listed, or if the Common Stock is not so listed on a U.S. securities exchange, the last quoted bid price for the Common Stock in the over-the-counter market as reported by OTC Markets Group Inc. or similar organization, or, if that bid price is not available, the market value of the Common Stock on that date as determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained by the Company for this purpose.

A “Trading Day” means for purposes of determining a VWAP or Closing Price, a Business Day on which the principal exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted for trading is scheduled to be open for business and a day on which there has not occurred or does not exist a Market Disruption Event.

A “Market Disruption Event” means any of the following events:

(1) any suspension of, or limitation imposed on, trading by the principal exchange or quotation system on which our common stock is listed or admitted for trading during the one-hour period prior to the close of trading for the regular trading session on such exchange or quotation system (or for purposes of determining VWAP any period or periods aggregating one half hour or longer) and whether by reason of movements in price exceeding limits permitted by the relevant exchange or quotation system or otherwise relating to the Common Stock or in futures or option contracts relating to the Common Stock on the relevant exchange or quotation system; or

(2) any event (other than a failure to open or a closure as described below) that disrupts or impairs the ability of market participants during the one-hour period prior to the close of trading for the regular trading session on the principal exchange or quotation system on which our common stock is listed or admitted for trading (or for purposes of determining VWAP any period or periods aggregating one half hour or longer) in general to effect transactions in, or obtain market values for, the Common Stock on the relevant exchange or quotation system or futures or options contracts relating to the Common Stock on any relevant exchange or quotation system; or

(3) the failure to open of the principal exchange or quotation system on which our futures or options contracts relating to our common stock are traded or the closure of such, exchange or quotation system prior to its respective scheduled closing time for the regular trading session on such day (without regard to after hours or other trading outside the regular trading session hours) unless such earlier closing time is announced by such exchange or quotation system at least one hour prior to the earlier of the actual closing time for the regular trading session on such day and the submission deadline for orders to be entered into such, exchange or quotation system for execution at the actual closing time on such day.

(b) Each Holder of a Corporate Unit or a Treasury Unit, by its acceptance of such Unit shall be deemed to have:

(i) irrevocably appointed the Purchase Contract Agent as its attorney-in-fact to enter into and perform the related Purchase Contract and this Agreement on its behalf and in the name of and on behalf of such Holder (including, without limitation, the execution of Certificates on behalf of such Holder);

(ii) agreed to be bound by the terms and provisions of such Unit, including but not limited to the terms and provisions of the Purchase Contract and this Agreement;

(iii) irrevocably covenanted and agreed to perform its obligations under this Agreement and such Unit, including but not limited to the Purchase Contract, for so long as such Holder remains a Holder of a Corporate Unit or a Treasury Unit;

(iv) consented to the provisions hereof; and

(v) consented to, and agreed to be bound by, the Pledge of such Holder’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral, including the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes and the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of such term, including any cash in respect thereof described in the proviso of such definition) or the Treasury Securities pursuant to this Agreement, and the delivery of the Notes underlying such Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes by the Purchase Contract Agent to the Collateral Agent;

(c) Each Holder of a Corporate Unit or a Treasury Unit, by its acceptance thereof, shall be deemed to have further covenanted and agreed that to the extent and in the manner provided in Section 5.03, but subject to the terms thereof, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, Proceeds of the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or the Pledged Treasury Securities, as applicable, equal to the Purchase Price shall be paid by the Collateral Agent to the Company in satisfaction of such Holder’s obligations under such Purchase Contract and such Holder shall acquire no right, title or interest in such Proceeds.

(d) Upon registration of transfer of a Certificate, the transferee shall be bound (without the necessity of any other action on the part of such transferee) by the terms of this Agreement and the Purchase Contracts underlying such Certificate and the transferor shall be released from the obligations under this Agreement and the Purchase Contracts underlying the Certificate so transferred.

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

(e) Promptly after the calculation of the Settlement Rate and the Applicable Market Value, the Company shall give the Purchase Contract Agent notice thereof. All calculations and determinations of the Settlement Rate and the Applicable Market Value and any adjustments to the Reference Price or the Threshold Appreciation Price shall be made by the Company or its agent based on their good faith calculations, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall have no responsibility with respect thereto.

(f) If a Market Disruption Event occurs during a day that would otherwise constitute one of the 20 Trading Days for determining the Applicable Market Value, the Company shall give the Holders and the Purchase Contract Agent notice thereof on the calendar day on which such event occurs to the extent reasonably practicable.

(g) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Company, the Holder, nor the Purchase Contract Agent shall be permitted to settle any Purchase Contract at maturity, by Early Settlement, or otherwise through delivery by the Company of cash in lieu of shares of the Company that the Company would otherwise be obligated to deliver (other than the delivery of cash in lieu of fractional shares), whether delivery of cash by the Company is or is not netted or offset against cash consideration delivered by or on behalf of the Holder.

Section 5.02. Remarketing.

(a) Optional Remarketing. (i) Unless a Termination 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(d), over a period of one or more days selected by the Company that fall during the Optional Remarketing Period; provided that the Company may only elect to conduct an Optional Remarketing if it is not then deferring interest on the Notes.

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

(iii) If the Company elects to conduct an Optional Remarketing on an Optional Remarketing Date, by 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the first day of the related 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(d). Pursuant to the Remarketing Agreement, upon receipt of such notices from the Purchase Contract Agent and the Custodial Agent, the Remarketing Agent(s) will use its commercially reasonable efforts to remarket such Notes for each tranche at the applicable Remarketing Price.

(iv) The Optional Remarketing Date shall be the same for each tranche of Notes and the settlement of each tranche shall be conditioned on the others.

(v) If the Company shall have elected pursuant to Section 7.05 of the Supplemental Indenture to divide the Notes into separate tranches in connection with a Successful Optional Remarketing, the Company shall allocate the Notes of Holders of Separate Notes that have elected not to participate in the Optional Remarketing between or among such tranches such that no tranche of remarketed Notes immediately after the Optional Remarketing Settlement Date shall have an aggregate principal amount of less than $400 million.

(vi) 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 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 underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, and the Custodial Agent shall Transfer the remarketed Separate Notes to the Remarketing Agent(s) upon confirmation of deposit to the account established by the Custodial Agent for the purpose of receiving such proceeds (the “Separate Notes Account”) 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 (A) unless the Treasury Portfolio shall consist of Cash, (x) 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), who shall provide such information and the amount of the Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price to the Collateral Agent) and (y) credit to the Collateral Account the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, (B)

if the Treasury Portfolio shall consist of Cash, credit to the Collateral Account Cash in an amount equal to the Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price, (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 pro rata in accordance with their interests. With respect to any Separate Notes remarketed, upon receipt of proceeds of such Successful Optional Remarketing attributable to the remarketed Separate Notes, the Custodial Agent shall remit the proceeds of such Separate Notes sold in the Successful Optional Remarketing received from the Remarketing Agent(s) pro rata to the Holders of such Separate Notes on the Optional Remarketing Settlement Date in accordance with the instructions provided in the form of Exhibit K.

(vii) If there is a Successful Optional Remarketing, the Company shall cause a notice of the Successful Optional Remarketing to be published no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the Successful Optional Remarketing. This notice shall include the Reset Rate with respect to each tranche of Notes and, in the event any Holders of Separate Notes shall not have elected to have their Separate Notes included in the Remarketing, how the Company will allocate the Notes of such Holders between the tranches. This notice shall be validly published by making a timely release to any appropriate news agency, including Bloomberg Business News and the Dow Jones News Service.

(viii) 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 and the underlying 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.

(ix) Following a Successful Optional Remarketing, the Remarketing Agent(s) shall remit (1) the proceeds attributable to the remarketed Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interest in Notes to the Collateral Agent and (2) the proceeds attributable to the remarketed Separate Notes to the Custodial Agent for the benefit of the Holders of Separate Notes that had their Notes remarketed.

(x) If, in spite of its commercially reasonable 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 and receipt of notice thereof from the Company, the Custodial Agent will return Separate Notes to the appropriate Holders pursuant to the instructions provided in the form of Exhibit K.

(xi) 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 notice of the Failed Optional Remarketing to be provided to the Custodial Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Purchase Contract Agent and to be published no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the last date of the Optional Remarketing Period. If the Company elects to remarket the Notes during the Optional Remarketing Period and a Successful Optional Remarketing does occur at any time during the Optional Remarketing Period, the Company shall cause a notice of the Successful Optional Remarketing to be provided to the Custodial Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Purchase Contract Agent and to be published no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the date of the Successful Optional Remarketing. Any such notice shall be validly published by making a timely release to any appropriate news agency, including Bloomberg Business News and the Dow Jones News Service.

(xii) The Company will pay the Remarketing Fee in connection with any Successful Optional Remarketing. Holders whose Notes are part of a Successful Optional Remarketing will not be responsible for payment of the Remarketing Fee.

(xiii) During any Optional Remarketing Period, prior to the announcement of a Successful Optional Remarketing, the Company has the right to postpone any Remarketing in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion.

(b) Final Remarketing. (i) Unless a Termination Event or a Successful Optional Remarketing has occurred prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, in order to dispose of the Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes of any Holders of Corporate Units who have not notified the Purchase Contract Agent of their intention to effect a Cash Settlement as provided in Section 5.03(a)(i), or who have so notified the Purchase Contract Agent but failed to make such payment as required by Section 5.03(a)(ii), the Company shall engage the Remarketing Agent(s), pursuant to the terms of the Remarketing Agreement, 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(d), over a period of one or more days selected by the Company that fall during the Final Remarketing Period.

(ii) The Company shall request that the Depository notify the Depository Participants holding Corporate Units, Treasury Units and Separate Notes of the Final Remarketing no later than seven days prior to the first day of the Final Remarketing Period, and the Company shall provide a copy of such request to the Purchase Contract Agent, Collateral

Agent and Custodial Agent. In such notice, the Company shall set forth the dates of the Final Remarketing Period, the applicable procedures for holders of Separate Notes to participate in the Final Remarketing, the applicable procedures for Holders of Corporate Units to create Treasury Units, the applicable procedures for Holders of Treasury Units to recreate Corporate Units, the applicable procedures for Holders of Corporate Units to effect Early Settlement with respect to their Purchase Contracts and any other applicable procedures, including the procedures that must be followed by a holder of a Separate Note in the case of a Failed Remarketing if such holder of Separate Notes wishes to exercise its Put Right.

(iii) The Purchase Contract Agent, based on the notices specified pursuant to Section 5.03(a)(iv), shall notify the Remarketing Agent(s) in writing, promptly after 4:00 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(d). Upon receipt of notice from the Purchase Contract Agent and the Custodial Agent, in each case, as set forth in this Section 5.02(b)(iii), the Remarketing Agent shall, on the Remarketing Date in the Final Remarketing Period, use commercially reasonable efforts to remarket, as provided in the Remarketing Agreement, such Notes and such Separate Notes at the applicable Remarketing Price.

(iv) The Final Remarketing Date shall be the same for each tranche of Notes and the settlement of each tranche shall be conditioned on the others.

(v) (A) 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 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 deposit to the Separate Notes Account 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 attributable to the remarketed Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership in Notes, the Collateral Agent shall, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date instruct the Securities Intermediary to (1) remit to the Company a portion of such proceeds equal to the aggregate principal amount of Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes to satisfy in full the Obligations of Holders of Corporate Units to pay the Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock under the related Purchase Contracts, (2) 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 to such Holders pro rata in accordance with their interests, and (3) deliver to the Collateral Agent for distribution to the Holders of Corporate

Units who have elected Cash Settlement the Notes underlying the Applicable Ownership Interest in Notes underlying such Corporate Units. With respect to any Separate Notes remarketed, upon receipt of proceeds attributable to remarketed Separate Notes, the Custodial Agent shall remit such proceeds of the Successful Final Remarketing received from the Remarketing Agent(s) pro rata to the Holders of such Separate Notes on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date in accordance with the instructions provided in the form of Exhibit K.

(vi) Following a Successful Final Remarketing, the Remarketing Agent(s) shall remit (1) the proceeds attributable to the remarketed Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interest in Notes to the Collateral Agent and (2) the proceeds attributable to the remarketed Separate Notes to the Custodial Agent for the benefit of the Holders of Separate Notes that had their Notes remarketed.

(vii) If there is a Successful Final Remarketing, the Company shall cause a notice of the Successful Final Remarketing to be provided to the Purchase Contract Agent, Collateral Agent and Custodial Agent and to be published no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the Successful Final Remarketing. This notice shall include the Reset Rate with respect to each tranche of Notes and, in the event that any Holders of Corporate Units shall have elected Cash Settlement pursuant to Section 5.03(a) or any Holders of Separate Notes shall not have elected to have their Separate Notes included in the Remarketing, how the Company will allocate the Notes of such Holders between the tranches. This notice shall be validly published by making a timely release to any appropriate news agency, including Bloomberg Business News and the Dow Jones News Service.

(viii) 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.

(ix) If, in spite of its commercially reasonable 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”).

Following a Failed Final Remarketing, as of the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, each Holder of any Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, unless such Holder has (A) provided written notice in substantially the form of Exhibit M hereto prior to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date of its intention to settle the related Purchase Contract with separate cash, (B) surrendered the Certificate evidencing the Corporate Units (if they are in certificated form) or the related Book-Entry Interests, to the Purchase Contract Agent prior to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date and (C) on or prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date delivered the Purchase

Price to the Securities Intermediary for deposit in the Collateral Account in lawful money of the United States by certified or cashiers check or wire transfer in immediately available funds payable to or upon the order of the Securities Intermediary (which settlement may only be effected in integral multiples of 20 Corporate Units), 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 Common Stock to be issued under the related Purchase Contracts in full satisfaction of such Holders’ Obligations under such Purchase Contracts. Following such application, each such Holder’s Obligations, including to pay the Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock, will be deemed to be satisfied in full, and the Collateral Agent shall cause the Securities Intermediary to release the Notes underlying such Pledged Applicable 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 from the Holder’s exercise of the Put Right to the Purchase Contract Agent for payment to the Holder of the Corporate Units to which such Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes relate.

Upon (x) receipt by the Collateral Agent of a notice from the Purchase Contract Agent in substantially the form of Exhibit N hereto promptly after the receipt by the Purchase Contract Agent of a notice from a Holder of Corporate Units that such Holder has elected, in accordance with the first sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, to settle the related Purchase Contract with separate cash and (y) payment by such Holder to the Securities Intermediary of the Purchase Price in accordance with the first sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, in lieu of exercise of such Holder’s Put Right, the Securities Intermediary shall give the Purchase Contract Agent notice of the receipt of such payment in substantially the form of Exhibit O hereto and the Collateral Agent shall, and is hereby authorized to, or to cause the Securities Intermediary to (X) promptly invest the separate cash received in Permitted Investments consistent with the instructions of the Company with respect to Cash Settlement, (Y) promptly release from the Pledge the Notes underlying the Applicable Ownership Interest in Notes related to the Corporate Units as to which such Holder has paid such separate cash and (Z) promptly Transfer all such Notes to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to such Holder, in each case free and clear of the Pledge created hereby, whereupon the Purchase Contract Agent shall Transfer such Notes in accordance with written instructions provided by the Holder thereof or, if no such instructions are given to the Purchase Contract Agent by the Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent shall hold such Notes, and any interest payment thereon, in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent or its nominee in trust for the benefit of such Holder until the expiration of the time period specified in the relevant abandoned property laws of the state where such Notes and interest payments thereon, if any, are held. Upon maturity of the Permitted Investments on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Collateral Agent shall, and is hereby authorized to, (A) instruct the Securities Intermediary to remit to the Company on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date such portion of the proceeds of such Permitted Investments as is equal to the aggregate Purchase Price under all Purchase Contracts in respect of which separate cash has been paid as provided in this Section 5.02(b)(ix) to the Company on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, and (B) release any amounts in excess of such amount earned from such Permitted Investments

to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to the Holders who have paid such separate cash pro rata in proportion to the amount paid by such Holders under this Section 5.02(b)(ix). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5.02(b)(ix) shall prevent holders of Separate Notes from exercising their Put Right after a Failed Final Remarketing.

(x) The Company has the right to postpone the Final Remarketing in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion on any day prior to the last three Business Days of the Final Remarketing Period.

(xi) If a Successful Remarketing has not occurred on or prior to the last day of the Final Remarketing Period, the Company shall cause a notice of the Failed Remarketing to be provided to the Purchase Contract Agent, Collateral Agent and Custodial Agent and to be published before 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the last day of the Final Remarketing Period. This notice shall be validly published by making a timely release to any appropriate news agency, including Bloomberg Business News and the Dow Jones News Service.

(xii) The Company will pay the Remarketing Fee in connection with any Successful Final Remarketing. Holders whose Notes are part of a Successful Final Remarketing will not be responsible for payment of the Remarketing Fee.

(xiii) Following the occurrence of a Successful Final Remarketing, proceeds attributable to the remarketed Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership in Notes 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 Collateral Agent shall have such security interests, rights and obligations with respect to such proceeds as the Collateral Agent had in respect of the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes.

(c) If the Company shall have elected pursuant to Section 7.05 of the Supplemental Indenture to divide the Notes into separate tranches in connection with a Successful Final Remarketing, the Company shall allocate the Notes underlying the Applicable Ownership Interest in Notes of Holders that that have effected Cash Settlement of their Corporate Units pursuant to Section 5.03(a) and Holders of Separate Notes that have elected not to participate in the Final Remarketing between or among such tranches such that no tranche of remarketed Notes immediately after the Purchase Contract Settlement Date shall have an aggregate principal amount of less than $400 million.

(d) At any time prior to a Remarketing, 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 K attached hereto, to the Custodial Agent. 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 L hereto, at any time prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time,

on the Business Day immediately preceding the first day of the Applicable Remarketing Period, in each case, other than during a Blackout 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.

(e) 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 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 for each tranche of Notes, and (iv) such purchaser or purchasers deliver the purchase price therefor to the Remarketing Agent(s) as and when required.

(f) 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) (it being understood that for so long as there is a material business transaction or development that has not yet been publicly disclosed, other than in connection with an Optional Remarketing, the Company will not be required to file such a registration statement or provide such a prospectus until the Company has publicly disclosed such transaction or development).

Section 5.03. Cash Settlement; Payment of Purchase Price. (a) (i) Unless (1) a Termination Event has occurred, (2) a Holder effects an Early Settlement or a Fundamental Change Early Settlement of the underlying Purchase Contract or (3) a Successful Optional Remarketing has occurred, each Holder of Corporate Units shall have the right to satisfy such Holder’s Obligations on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date in cash (a “Cash Settlement”); provided, a Holder shall not have a right to elect Cash Settlement prior to the date that the Company gives notice of a Final Remarketing. Each Holder of Corporate Units who intends to pay in cash to satisfy such Holder’s Obligations under the Purchase Contract on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date must notify the Purchase Contract Agent by presenting and surrendering at the offices of the Purchase Contract Agent (1) the Certificate

evidencing the Corporate Units (if they are in certificated form) or the related Book-Entry Interests, and (2) the form of “Notice to Settle with Cash” substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto completed and executed as indicated prior to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day immediately preceding the first day of the Final Remarketing Period or, in case of a Failed Final Remarketing, the form of “Notice to Settle with Cash After Failed Final Remarketing” substantially in the form of Exhibit M on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. Corporate Units Holders may only effect such a Cash Settlement pursuant to this Section 5.03(a) in integral multiples of 20 Corporate Units.

(ii) A Holder of a Corporate Unit who has so notified the Purchase Contract Agent of his intention to effect a Cash Settlement in accordance with Section 5.03(a)(i) above shall pay the Purchase Price to the Securities Intermediary for deposit in the Collateral Account prior to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day immediately preceding the first day of the Final Remarketing Period or, in the case of a Failed Remarketing, on the first Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, in lawful money of the United States by certified or cashiers check or wire transfer in immediately available funds payable to or upon the order of the Securities Intermediary.

(iii) If a Holder of a Corporate Unit fails to notify the Purchase Contract Agent of its intention to make a Cash Settlement in accordance with Section 5.03(a)(i), or does notify the Purchase Contract Agent as provided in Section 5.03(a)(i) of its intention to pay the Purchase Price in cash but fails to make such payment as required by Section 5.03(a)(ii), such Holder shall be deemed to have consented to the disposition of the Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes pursuant to any Remarketing occurring in the Final Remarketing Period as described in Section 5.02(b).

(iv) Promptly after 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day immediately preceding the first day of the Final Remarketing Period, the Purchase Contract Agent, based on notices received by the Purchase Contract Agent pursuant to Section 5.03(a)(i) and notice from the Securities Intermediary regarding cash received by it prior to such time, shall notify the Collateral Agent of the aggregate number of Notes to be remarketed in any Remarketing occurring in the Final Remarketing Period in a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto.

(v) Upon (1) receipt by the Collateral Agent of a notice in the form of Exhibit J from the Purchase Contract Agent after the receipt by the Purchase Contract Agent of a notice in the form of Exhibit E from a Holder of Corporate Units that such Holder has elected, in accordance with Section 5.03(a)(i), to effect a Cash Settlement and (2) the payment by such Holder of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 5.03(a)(ii) above, then the Collateral Agent shall:

(A) instruct the Securities Intermediary promptly to invest any such Cash in Permitted Investments consistent with the instructions of the Company as provided for below in this Section 5.03(a)(v);

(B) release from the Pledge the Notes underlying the Applicable Ownership Interest in Notes related to the Corporate Units as to which such Holder has effected a Cash Settlement; and

(C) instruct the Securities Intermediary to Transfer all such Notes to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to such Holder on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, in each case free and clear of the Pledge created hereby, whereupon the Purchase Contract Agent shall Transfer such Notes in accordance with written instructions provided by the Holder thereof or, if no such instructions are given to the Purchase Contract Agent by the Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent shall hold such Notes, and any interest payment thereon, in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent or its nominee in trust for the benefit of such Holder until the expiration of the time period specified in the relevant abandoned property laws of the state where such Notes and interest payments thereon, if any, are held.

The Company shall instruct the Collateral Agent in writing as to the type of Permitted Investments in which any such Cash shall be invested; provided, however, that if the Company fails to deliver such written instructions by 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day such Cash is received by the Collateral Agent or to be reinvested by the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Agent shall instruct the Securities Intermediary to invest such Cash in the Permitted Investments which have been designated by the Company in writing from time to time in a standing instruction to the Collateral Agent which shall be effective until revoked or superseded. In no event shall the Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary be liable for the selection of Permitted Investments or for investment losses incurred thereon. The Collateral Agent and Securities Intermediary shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the failure of the Company to provide timely written investment direction.

Upon maturity of the Permitted Investments on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Collateral Agent shall, and is hereby authorized to, (A) instruct the Securities Intermediary to remit to the Company on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date such portion of the proceeds of such Permitted Investments as is equal to the aggregate Purchase Price under all Purchase Contracts in respect of which Cash Settlement has been affected as provided in this Section 5.03, and (B) release any amounts in excess of such amount earned from such Permitted Investments to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to the Holders who have effected Cash Settlement, pro rata in proportion to the amount paid by such Holders under Section 5.03(a)(ii), as adjusted to reflect the period of time that each such Holder’s cash was invested in such Permitted Investments.

(b) In the case of a Treasury Unit or 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 Pledged Treasury Securities or the appropriate Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio held by the Securities Intermediary mature during the period from, and including, the fifth Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date to, and including, the Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the principal amount of the Treasury Securities or the appropriate Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio received by the Securities Intermediary shall be invested promptly in Permitted Investments, which have been designated by the Company in writing from time to time in a

standing instruction to the Securities Intermediary which shall be effective until revoked or superseded. 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 either the related Pledged Treasury Securities or the related Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio and the Proceeds from such Permitted Investments 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 Holders of the related Treasury Units or Corporate Units, as applicable.

(c) The obligations of the Holders to pay the Purchase Price are non-recourse obligations and, except to the extent satisfied by Early Settlement, Fundamental Change Early Settlement or Cash 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.

(d) The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock in respect of a Purchase Contract or deliver any certificates therefor to the Holder of the related Units unless the Company shall have received payment of the aggregate Purchase Price for the Common Stock to be purchased thereunder in the manner set forth herein.

Section 5.04. Issuance of Shares of Common Stock. Unless a Termination Event, an Early Settlement or a Fundamental Change Early Settlement shall have occurred, subject to Section 5.05(b), on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, upon the Company’s receipt of the aggregate Purchase Price payable on all Outstanding Units in accordance with Section 5.03, 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 Common Stock registered in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent (or its nominee) as custodian for the Holders (such certificates for shares of Common Stock, together with any dividends or distributions for which a record date and payment date for such dividend or distribution has occurred after the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, being hereinafter referred to as the “Purchase Contract Settlement Fund”) to which the Holders are entitled hereunder.

Subject to the foregoing, upon surrender of a Certificate to the Purchase Contract Agent on or after the Purchase Contract 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 Common 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), together with cash in lieu of fractional shares as provided in Section 5.09 and any dividends or distributions with respect to such shares constituting part of the Purchase Contract Settlement Fund, but without any interest thereon, 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 provided by the Holder to the Purchase Contract Agent. If any shares of Common 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 Depository or nominee thereof), no such registration shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such registration shall have paid to the Company the amount of 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 5.05. Adjustment of each Fixed Settlement Rate. (a) Each Fixed Settlement Rate shall be adjusted (without duplication) if certain events occur:

(i) If the Company pays or makes a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock (other than pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security outstanding as of the date the Units were first issued), each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be increased by dividing each Fixed Settlement Rate by a fraction,

(A) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination; and

(B) the denominator of which shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution.

Any adjustment made under this clause (i) shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this clause (i) is declared but not so paid or made, each Fixed Settlement Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the earlier of (a) the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay or make such dividend or distribution and (b) the date the dividend or distribution was to be paid, to the Fixed Settlement Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(ii) If the Company issues to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock rights, options, warrants or other securities (other than pursuant to a dividend reinvestment, share purchase or similar plan), entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock for a period expiring within 45 days from the date of issuance of such rights, options, warrants or other securities at a price per share of Common Stock less than the Current Market Price on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options, warrants or other securities, each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination shall be increased by dividing each Fixed Settlement Rate by a fraction,

(A) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration expected to be received by the Company upon the exercise of such rights, options, warrants or other securities would purchase at such Current Market Price; and

(B) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase, either directly or indirectly.

Any increase in the Fixed Settlement Rates made pursuant to this clause (ii) shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants. To the extent such rights, options or warrants are not exercised or converted prior to their expiration of the exercisability or convertibility thereof (and as a result no additional shares of common stock are delivered or issued pursuant to such rights or warrants), each Fixed Settlement Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date of such expiration or termination, to the Fixed Settlement Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options, warrants or other securities been made on the basis of delivery or issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered or issued. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, each Fixed Settlement Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the earlier of (a) the date the Board of Directors determines not to issue such rights, options or warrants and (b) the date such rights, options or warrants were to have been issued, to the Fixed Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such date fixed for such determination had not occurred.

For purposes of this clause (ii), in determining whether any rights, options, warrants or other securities entitle the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at less than the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options, warrants or other securities, and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options, warrants or other securities, there shall be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, options, warrants or other securities and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

(iii) If outstanding shares of the Common Stock shall be subdivided, split or reclassified into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision, split or reclassification becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of the Common Stock shall each be combined or reclassified into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination or reclassification becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced.

(iv) If the Company, by dividend or otherwise, distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock evidences of the Company’s indebtedness, assets, or securities

(but excluding any rights, options, warrants or other securities referred to in clause (ii) of this Section 5.05(a), any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash referred to in clause (v) below of this Section 5.05(a) (in each case, whether or not an adjustment to the fixed settlement rates is required by such paragraph), any dividend paid in shares of capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to a subsidiary or other business unit in the case of a Spin-Off referred to below, or dividends or distributions referred to in clause (i) of this Section 5.05(a)), each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution shall be increased by dividing each Fixed Settlement Rate by a fraction,

(A) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price on the date fixed for such determination less the then fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose good faith determination will be conclusive) of the portion of the assets, securities or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of the Common Stock (the “Fair Market Value”); and

(B) the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price.

Any increase made under the portion of this clause (iv) shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, each Fixed Settlement Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the earlier of (a) the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay the dividend or other distribution and (b) the date such dividend or distribution was to have been paid, to the Fixed Settlement Rate that would then be in effect if the dividend or other distribution had not been declared.

In the case of the payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interests, of or relating to a subsidiary or other business unit of the Company (a “Spin-Off”), each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect immediately before the close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution will be increased by dividing each Fixed Settlement Rate by a fraction,

(A) the numerator of which is the Current Market Price; and

(B) the denominator of which is such Current Market Price plus the Fair Market Value (determined as described below) of those shares of capital stock or similar equity interests so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock.

The adjustment to each Fixed Settlement Rate under the preceding paragraph will occur on (A) the 10th Trading Day from and including the effective date of the Spin-Off; or (B) if the Spin-Off is effected simultaneously with an Initial Public Offering of the securities being distributed in the Spin-Off, the issue date of the securities being offered in such Initial Public Offering. For purposes of this section, “Initial Public Offering” means the first time securities of the same class or type as the securities being distributed in the Spin-Off are offered to the public for cash.

In the event of a Spin-Off that is not effected simultaneously with an Initial Public Offering of the securities being distributed in the Spin-Off, the Fair Market Value of the securities to be distributed to holders of Common Stock means the average of the Closing Prices of those securities on the principal U.S. securities exchange or quotation system on which such securities are listed or quoted at that time over the first 10 Trading Days following the effective date of the Spin-Off. For purposes of such a Spin-Off, the Current Market Price of the Common Stock means the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock on the principal U.S. securities exchange or quotation system on which such securities are listed or quoted at that time over the first 10 Trading Days following the effective date of the Spin-Off.

If, however, an Initial Public Offering of the securities being distributed in the Spin-Off is to be effected simultaneously with the Spin-Off, the Fair Market Value of the securities being distributed in the Spin-Off means the Initial Public Offering price, while the Current Market Price of the Common Stock means the Closing Prices of the Common Stock on the principal U.S. securities exchange or quotation system on which such securities are listed or quoted at that time on the Trading Day on which the Initial Public Offering price of the securities being distributed in the Spin-Off is determined.

The Company shall delay the settlement of any Unit if the Purchase Contract Settlement Date occurs after the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and prior to the end of such 10 consecutive Trading Day period. In such event, the Company shall deliver the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the settlement of each Purchase Contract (based on the adjusted Fixed Settlement Rates) on the first Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of such 10 consecutive Trading Day period.

If any dividend or distribution described in this paragraph (iv) is declared but not so paid or made, the new fixed settlement rate shall be readjusted to the fixed settlement rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(v) If the Company, by dividend or otherwise, makes distributions to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock exclusively in cash during any quarterly period (excluding any cash that is distributed in a Reorganization Event or as part of a distribution referred to in clause (iv) of this Section 5.05(a)) in an amount that exceeds $0.48 per share per quarter in the case of a regular quarterly dividend (such per share amount being referred to as the “Reference Dividend”), then immediately after the close of business on the date fixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such distribution, each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such date shall be increased by dividing each Fixed Settlement Rate by a fraction,

(A) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the date fixed for such determination less the amount, if any, by which the per share amount of the distribution exceeds the Reference Dividend; and

(B) the denominator of which shall be equal to such Current Market Price.

Such increase shall become effective after the close of business on the date fixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if

the amount of cash per share of the Common Stock that the Company distributes to holders of the Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the date fixed for such determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such distribution, in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of Units shall receive at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of the Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the Maximum Settlement Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid, each Fixed Settlement Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the earlier of (a) the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend and (b) the date such dividend was to have been paid, to the Fixed Settlement Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.

The reference dividend will be subject to an inversely proportional adjustment (determined in the same manner as the adjustment to the Reference Price and Threshold Appreciation Price set forth below in clause (vi) of this Section 5.05(a)) whenever each Fixed Settlement Rate is adjusted, other than pursuant to this clause (v). For the avoidance of doubt, the Reference Dividend shall be zero in the case of a cash dividend amount that is not a regular quarterly dividend.

(vi) In the case that a tender offer or exchange offer made by the Company or any subsidiary for all or any portion of shares of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender or exchange offer (as amended through the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer or exchange offer) of Purchased Shares) of an aggregate consideration having a Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock that exceeds the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer, then, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the last time (the “Expiration Time”) tenders or exchanges could have been made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer (as amended through the expiration thereof), each Fixed Settlement Rate shall be increased by dividing each Fixed Settlement Rate immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the Expiration Time by a fraction,

(A) the numerator of which shall be equal to (x) the product of (i) the Current Market Price on the date of the Expiration Time and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any Purchased Shares (defined below)) on the date of the Expiration Time less (y) the amount of cash plus the Fair Market Value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders pursuant to the tender offer or exchange offer (assuming the acceptance of Purchased Shares (as defined below)); and

(B) the denominator of which shall be equal to the product of (x) the Current Market Price on the date of the Expiration Time and (y) the result of (i) the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding (including any Purchased Shares) on the date of the Expiration Time less (ii) the number of all shares validly tendered, not withdrawn and accepted for payment on the date of the Expiration Time (such actually validly tendered or exchanged shares, up to any maximum acceptance amount specified by us in the terms of the tender offer or exchange offer, the “Purchased Shares”).

In the event the Company is, or one of the Company’s subsidiaries is, obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but the Company is, or such subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases, or all such purchases are rescinded, then each Fixed Settlement Rate shall be readjusted to the Fixed Settlement Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made. If an adjustment to each Fixed Settlement Rate is required pursuant to this clause (vi) during any settlement, delivery of the related settlement consideration will be delayed to the extent necessary in order to complete the calculations provided for in this clause (vi).

(vii) (1) If any adjustments are made to each Fixed Settlement Rate pursuant to this Section 5.05(a), an inversely proportional adjustment shall also be made to the Reference Price and the Threshold Appreciation Price solely to determine which of the clauses of the definition of Settlement Rate in Section 5.01(a) will be applicable to determine the Settlement Rate with respect to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or any Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date. Such adjustment shall be made by multiplying the Reference Price by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Maximum Settlement Rate immediately before such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Maximum Settlement Rate immediately after such adjustment and by multiplying the Threshold Appreciation Price by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Minimum Settlement Rate immediately before such adjustment and the denominator of which shall be the Minimum Settlement Rate immediately after such adjustment. In addition, if any adjustment to the Fixed Settlement Rates becomes effective, or any ex date or record date for any issuance, dividend or distribution (relating to a required Fixed Settlement Rate adjustment) occurs, during the period beginning on, and including, (i) the opening of business on a first Trading Day of the Observation Period or (ii) in the case of Early Settlement, the relevant Early Settlement Date and, in each case, ending on, and including, the date on which the Company delivers shares of Common Stock under the related Purchase Contract, the Company will make appropriate adjustments to the Fixed Settlement Rates, the Applicable Market Value and/or the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon settlement of the Purchase Contract, in each case, consistent with the anti-dilution adjustments set forth above in paragraphs (a)(i) to (a)(vi) of this Section 5.05.

(2) No adjustment to the Fixed Settlement Rates need be made if Holders may participate in the transaction that would otherwise give rise to an adjustment on a basis and with notice that the Board of Directors determines to be fair and appropriate in light of the basis and notice on which holders of Common Stock participate in the transaction.

(viii) All adjustments to the Fixed Settlement Rate shall be calculated to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share of Common Stock (or if there is not a nearest 1/10,000th of a share to the next lower 1/10,000th of a share). No adjustment to the Fixed Settlement Rate shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent in one or both Fixed Settlement Rates; provided, that if any adjustment is not required to be made because it would not change one or both of the Fixed Settlement Rates by at least one percent, the adjustment shall be carried forward and taken into account

in any subsequent adjustment; provided that notwithstanding whether or not such one percent threshold shall have been met, all such adjustments under this Section 5.05(a) shall be made no later than the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the first Trading Day of the Observation Period (or, if earlier, the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which the amount of Make-Whole Shares is determined).

(ix) The Company may increase the Fixed Settlement Rates, in addition to those required by this Section 5.05(a), if the Board of Directors deems it advisable in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to any holders of Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes or for any other reasons. The Company may only make such a discretionary adjustment if the Company makes the same proportionate adjustment to each Fixed Settlement Rate.

(x) To the extent the Company has a shareholder rights plan involving the issuance of preference share purchase rights or other similar rights (the “Rights”) to all holders of the Common Stock in effect upon settlement of a Purchase Contract, a Holder shall be entitled to receive upon settlement of any Purchase Contract, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon settlement of such Purchase Contract, the related Rights for the Common Stock under the shareholder rights plan, unless prior to such settlement, such Rights under the shareholder rights plan have separated from the Common Stock, in which case each Fixed Settlement Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company made a distribution to all holders of the Common Stock as provided in Section 5.05(a)(iv), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of the Rights.

(b) (i) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.05(b)(ii), upon a Reorganization Event, each Unit shall thereafter, in lieu of a variable number of shares of Common Stock, be settled in accordance with its terms by delivery of a variable number of Exchange Property Units. An “Exchange Property Unit” represents the right to receive the kind and amount of common stock, securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) receivable in such Reorganization Event (without any interest thereon, and without any right to dividends or distributions thereon that have a record date that is prior to the applicable Settlement Date) per share of Common Stock by a holder of Common Stock that is not a Person with which the Company consolidated or into which the Company merged or which merged into the Company or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be (any such Person, a “Constituent Person”), or an Affiliate of a Constituent Person to the extent such Reorganization Event provides for different treatment of Common Stock held by a Constituent Person and/or the Affiliates of a Constituent Person, on the one hand and non-Affiliates of a Constituent Person, on the other hand. In the event holders of Common Stock (other than any Constituent person or Affiliate thereof) have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in such transaction, the Exchange Property Unit that Holders of the Corporate Units or Treasury Units would have been entitled to receive will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make an election. The number of Exchange Property Units to be delivered upon settlement of a Purchase Contract following the effective date of a

Reorganization Event shall equal the Settlement Rate, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.05, determined as if the references to “shares of Common Stock” in Section 5.01(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) were to “Exchange Property Units.”

In the event of such a Reorganization Event, the Person formed by such consolidation, or merger or the Person which acquires the assets of the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent an agreement supplemental hereto providing that the Holder of each Unit that remains Outstanding after the Reorganization Event (if any) shall have the rights provided by this Section 5.05(b). Such supplemental agreement shall provide for adjustments to the amount of any securities constituting all or a portion of an Exchange Property Unit which, for events subsequent to the effective date of such Reorganization Event, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 5.05. The above provisions of this Section 5.05(b) shall similarly apply to successive Reorganization Events.

(ii) If a Fundamental Change occurs prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, then following such Fundamental Change a Holder of a Purchase Contract shall have the right (“Fundamental Change Early Settlement Right”) to accelerate and settle (“Fundamental Change Early Settlement”) such Purchase Contract, upon the conditions set forth below, on the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date at the Settlement Rate determined as if the Applicable Market Value equaled the Stock Price (as defined below), plus an additional make-whole amount of shares (the “Make-Whole Shares”); provided that no Fundamental Change Early Settlement will be permitted pursuant to this Section 5.05(b)(ii) unless, at the time such Fundamental Change Early Settlement is effected, there is an effective Registration Statement with respect to any securities 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 agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to (x) have in effect on the applicable Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date a Registration Statement covering the Common Stock and other securities, if any, 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 for so long as there is a material business transaction or development that has not yet been publicly disclosed (but in no event for a period longer than 90 days), the Company will not be required to file such Registration Statement or provide such a Prospectus, and a Fundamental Change Early Settlement Right will not be available, until the Company has publicly disclosed such transaction or development). 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 is effective and the Company shall have no further obligation with respect to any such Registration Statement if, notwithstanding using its commercially reasonable efforts, no Registration Statement is then effective.

The Company shall provide written notice to Holders of Units of the completion of a Fundamental Change within ten Business Days of the Effective Date (as hereinafter defined) of a Fundamental

Change, which shall specify, among other things (i) an early settlement date (the “Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date”), which shall be at least 10 days after the date of the notice but no later than the earlier of (A) 20 days after the date of such notice and (B) two Business Days prior to the first day of the commencement of the Optional Remarketing Period, if applicable, or, if the Company does not elect, if applicable, to conduct an Optional Remarketing or the Optional Remarketing is not successful, two Business Days prior to the commencement of the Final Remarketing Period or, if the Final Remarketing is not successful, the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, by which each Holder’s Fundamental Change Early Settlement Right must be exercised, (ii) the applicable Settlement Rate and (iii) the amount (per share of Common Stock) of cash, securities and other consideration receivable by the Holder, including the amount of Contract Adjustment Payments and deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) receivable, upon settlement.

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 5.05(b)(ii) in integral multiples of 20 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 5.05(b)(ii) in multiples of 160,000 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 5.05(b)(ii).

In order to exercise the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Right with respect to any Purchase Contracts, the Holder of the Certificate evidencing Units shall deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent at the Corporate Trust Office in New York City, no later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date, a notice of such election in the form of Exhibit R and such Certificate evidencing its Corporate Units or Treasury Units if they are held in certificated form, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company or in blank with the form of Election to Fundamental Change Early Settlement on the reverse thereof duly completed, and payment of the applicable Purchase Price in immediately available funds less the amount of accrued and unpaid Contract Adjustment Payments (including any Deferred Contract Adjustment Payments and Compounded Contact Adjustment Payments thereon) to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date.

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

Upon receipt of any such Certificate and payment of such funds, the Purchase Contract Agent shall 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 of Units 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.

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) 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, or (2) the Pledged Treasury Securities, in the case of a Holder of Treasury Units, in each case with a Value equal to the product of (x) the Stated Amount times (y) the number of Purchase Contracts as to which such Holder has elected to effect 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 Pledged Treasury Securities, 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 exercises the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Right in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.05(b)(ii), the Company will deliver (or will cause the Purchase Contract 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:

(A) the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Fundamental Change by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on account of each Purchase Contract if the Purchase Contract Settlement Date had occurred immediately prior to such Fundamental Change (based on the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Rate in effect at such time), assuming such Holder of Common Stock is not a Constituent Person or an Affiliate of a Constituent Person to the extent such Fundamental Change provides for different treatment of Common Stock held by Affiliates of the Company and non-Affiliates. If the Fundamental Change causes the outstanding shares of Common Stock to be converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of shareholder election) and the Holder exercises the right to effect a Fundamental Change Early Settlement, the Company will deliver to the Holder on the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date consideration in the types and amounts as is proportional to the types and amounts of consideration (that is generally offered to holders of Common Stock) received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election;

(B) the Notes, the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or Treasury Securities, 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; and

For the avoidance of doubt, if 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 have not been deducted from the applicable Purchase Price payable by such

Holder pursuant to the fourth paragraph of this Section 5.05(b)(ii), such accrued and unpaid Contract Adjustment Payments (including any deferred Contract Adjustment Payments and Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) 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 in accordance with the terms hereof.

(iii) The amount of Make-Whole Shares per Purchase Contract applicable to a Fundamental Change Early Settlement will be determined by reference to the table below, based on the date on which the Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the “Effective Date”) and the price (the “Stock Price”) in such Fundamental Change. If holders of Common Stock receive only cash in a Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Stock Price will be the cash amount paid per share of the Common Stock. Otherwise, the Stock Price paid per share will be the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock over the 20 Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date of such Fundamental Change.

The Stock Prices set forth in the second row of the table (i.e., the column headers) shall be adjusted upon the occurrence of those events set forth in Section 5.05(a) requiring anti-dilution adjustments to the Fixed Settlement Rates. Each of the Make-Whole Shares amounts in the table will be subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Fixed Settlement Rates as set forth under Section 5.05(a). The adjusted Stock Prices will equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the applicable Fixed Settlement Rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the same Fixed Settlement Rate as so adjusted. Each number of shares of Common Stock in the table below will be adjusted in the same manner as the Fixed Settlement Rates as set forth in Section 5.05(a).


Effective Date	$25.00		$50.00		$70.00		$74.35		$85.00		$98.51		$110.00		$130.00		$150.00		$200.00		$250.00		$300.00

The exact Stock Price and Effective Date applicable to a Fundamental Change may not be set forth on the table, in which case:

(1) if the Stock Price is between two Stock Price amounts on the table or the Effective Date is between two dates on the table, the amount of Make-Whole Shares will be determined by straight line interpolation between the Make-Whole Share amounts set forth for the higher and lower Stock Price amounts and the two dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;

(2) if the Stock Price is in excess of $300 per share (subject to adjustment as described above), then the Make-Whole Share amount will be zero; and

(3) if the Stock Price is less than $25 per share (subject to adjustment as described above) (the “Minimum Stock Price”), then the Make-Whole Share amount will be determined as if the Stock Price equaled the Minimum Stock Price, using straight line interpolation, as described above, if the Effective Date is between two dates on the table.

(1) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;

(2) upon the issuance of options or other awards in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of any one or more employees, officers, directors, consultants or independent contractors or the exercise of such options or other awards;

(3) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security;

(4) for a change in the par value or no par value of the Common Stock; or

(5) for accumulated and unpaid dividends.

(d) Each adjustment to each Fixed Settlement Rate will result in a corresponding adjustment to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon Early Settlement.

(e) All calculations and determinations pursuant to this Section 5.05 shall be made by the Company or its agent and the Purchase Contract Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to such calculations and determinations.

Section 5.06. Notice of Adjustments and Certain Other Events. (a) Whenever the Fixed Settlement Rates are adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall, as soon as practicable following the occurrence of an event that requires an adjustment pursuant to Section 5.05 (or if the Company is not aware of such occurrence, as soon as practicable after becoming so aware):

(i) compute each adjusted Fixed Settlement Rate in accordance with Section 5.05 and prepare and transmit to the Purchase Contract Agent an Officers’ Certificate setting forth each adjusted Fixed Settlement Rate, the method of calculation thereof in reasonable detail, and the facts requiring such adjustment and upon which such adjustment is based; and

(ii) provide a written notice to the Holders of the Units of the occurrence of such event and a statement in reasonable detail setting forth the method by which the adjustment to each Fixed Settlement Rate was determined and setting forth each adjusted Fixed Settlement Rate.

(b) The Purchase Contract Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of each Fixed Settlement Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed in making the same. The Purchase Contract Agent shall be fully authorized and protected in relying on any Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.06(a)(i) and any adjustment contained therein and the Purchase Contract Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment unless and until it has received such certificate. The Purchase Contract Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities or property, which may at the time be issued or delivered with respect to any Purchase Contract; and the Purchase Contract Agent makes no representation with respect thereto. The Purchase Contract Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Purchase Contract or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article 5.

Section 5.07. Termination Event; Notice.

(a) The Purchase Contracts and all obligations and rights of the Company and the Holders thereunder, including the Holders’ obligation and right to purchase and receive shares of Common Stock and to receive accrued and unpaid Contract Adjustment Payments (including any deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon)), 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. In the event of such a termination of the Purchase Contracts as a result of a Termination Event, Holders of such Purchase Contracts will not have a claim in bankruptcy under the Purchase Contract with respect to the Company’s issuance of shares of Common Stock or the right to receive Contract Adjustment Payments.

(b) Upon and after the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Units shall thereafter represent the right to receive the Notes underlying the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, the Treasury Securities 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 3.15. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, (i) the Company shall promptly thereafter give written 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 3.15, 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 or the Treasury Securities forming a part of each Treasury Unit, as the case may be, from the Pledge.

Section 5.08. Early Settlement. (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.08, at the option of the Holder thereof, Purchase Contracts underlying Units may be settled early (“Early Settlement”) at any time prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, other than during a Blackout Period in the case of Corporate Units; provided that no Early Settlement will be permitted unless, at the time such Early Settlement is effected, there is an effective Registration Statement with respect to any securities 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 agrees to (i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to have in effect on the applicable Early Settlement Date a Registration Statement covering those shares of Common Stock and other securities, if any, 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 file such Registration Statement or 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). In the event that a Holder seeks to exercise its right to effect Early Settlement 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 and the Company has provided a prospectus in connection therewith and the Company will have no further obligation with respect to any such Registration Statement if, notwithstanding using its commercially reasonable efforts, no Registration Statement is then effective.

(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 prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, other than during a Blackout Period in the case of Corporate Units, such Certificate to the Purchase Contract Agent at the Corporate Trust Office in New York City, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company or in blank with the form of Election to Settle Early in the form of Exhibit Q 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:

(i) (1) the Stated Amount, multiplied by (2) the number of Purchase Contracts with respect to which the Holder has elected to effect Early Settlement in accordance with this Section 5.08, plus

(ii) if the delivery for Early Settlement is made with respect to any Purchase Contract during the period from the close of business on any Record Date next preceding any

Contract Adjustment Payment Date to the opening of business on such Contract Adjustment Payment Date, an amount equal to the Contract Adjustment Payments payable on the Contract Adjustment Payment Date with respect to such Purchase Contracts being settled, unless the Company elected to defer Contract Adjustment Payments which would otherwise be payable on such Contract Adjustment 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 Depository. In addition, so long as the Units are evidenced by one or more Global Certificates deposited with the Depository, procedures for early settlement will also be governed by standing arrangements between the Depository and the Purchase Contract Agent.

If the foregoing requirements are first satisfied with respect to Purchase Contracts underlying any Units prior to 4:00 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 at or after 4:00 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 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 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, Pledged Treasury Securities, in each case with a Value equal to the product of (x) the Stated Amount times (y) 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 Pledged Treasury Securities, 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 5.08 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 5.08 in integral multiples of 160,000 Corporate Units.

(i) the Holder will receive a number of shares of Common Stock (or in the case of an Early Settlement following a Reorganization Event, a number of Exchange Property Units) equal to the applicable Minimum Settlement Rate for each Purchase Contract as to which Early Settlement is effected, subject to adjustment under Section 5.05;

(ii) the Notes, the Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio or the Treasury Securities, as the case may be, related to the Corporate Units or Treasury Units will be transferred to the Holder free and clear of the Company’s security interest;

(iii) the Holder will be entitled to receive any accrued and unpaid Contract Adjustment Payments (including any accrued and unpaid deferred Contract Adjustment Payments and Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) to, but excluding, the quarterly Contract Adjustment Payment Date immediately preceding the Early Settlement Date;

(iv) the Holder’s right to receive future Contract Adjustment Payments and any accrued and unpaid Contract Adjustment Payments for the period since the most recent quarterly Payment Date (including any accrued and unpaid deferred Contract Adjustment Payments and Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) will terminate; and

(v) no adjustment will be made to or for the Holder on account of any accrued and unpaid Contract Adjustment Payments (including any accrued and unpaid deferred Contract Adjustment Payments and Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) referred to in the immediately preceding clause (iv).

(d) No later than the third Business Day after the applicable Early Settlement Date, the Company shall cause the shares of Common Stock or Exchange Property Units issuable upon Early Settlement of Purchase Contracts to be issued and the Notes, the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or Treasury Securities, as the case may be, to be released from the Pledge and to be delivered, together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 5.09.

(e) Upon Early Settlement of any Purchase Contracts, and subject to receipt of shares of Common Stock or Exchange Property Units from the Company and the Notes, the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or Treasury Securities, 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 Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or Treasury Securities, as the case may be, related to such Units,

(ii) deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the full number of shares of Common Stock or Exchange Property Units issuable upon such Early Settlement, together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 5.09, and

(iii) if so required under the Securities Act, deliver a Prospectus for the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Early Settlement as contemplated by Section 5.08(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 5.09. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued or delivered upon settlement on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, or upon Early Settlement or Fundamental Change Early Settlement of any Purchase Contracts. If Certificates evidencing more than one Purchase Contract shall be surrendered for settlement at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock which shall be delivered upon settlement shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Purchase Contracts evidenced by the Certificates so surrendered. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock which would otherwise be deliverable upon settlement of any Purchase Contracts on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, or upon Early Settlement or Fundamental Change Early Settlement, the Company, through the Purchase Contract Agent, shall make a cash payment in respect of such fractional interest in an amount equal to the percentage of a whole share represented by such fractional share multiplied by the Closing Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date (or, in the case of any Early Settlement or Fundamental Change Early Settlement, the Closing Price the Trading Day immediately preceding the Early Settlement Date or Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date, as the case may be). The Company shall provide the Purchase Contract Agent from time to time with sufficient funds and instructions to permit the Purchase Contract Agent to make all cash payments required by this Section 5.09 in a timely manner.

Section 5.10. Charges and Taxes. The Company will pay all stock transfer and similar taxes attributable to the initial issuance and delivery of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Contracts; provided 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 Common 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 either has been paid or is not payable.

Section 5.11. Contract Adjustment Payments. (a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.11 and Section 5.12, the Company shall pay, on each Contract Adjustment Payment Date, the Contract Adjustment Payments payable in respect of each Purchase Contract to the Person in whose name a Certificate is registered at the close of business on the Record Date relating to such Contract Adjustment Payment Date. The Contract Adjustment Payments will be payable at the office of the Purchase Contract Agent or its agent in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City maintained for that purpose. If the book-entry system for the 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 a written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent given at least five Business Days prior to the Contract Adjustment Payment Date. If any date on which Contract Adjustment Payments are to be made 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 (and without any interest in respect of any 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 the date of this Agreement.

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Company’s obligation to pay future Contract Adjustment Payments (including any accrued and unpaid 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 and deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon), that 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 Contract Adjustment Payment Date, Contract Adjustment Payments and deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) otherwise payable on such Contract Adjustment Payment Date shall be payable on such Contract Adjustment 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 provided in the preceding sentence, in the case of any Unit with

respect to which Early Settlement or Fundamental Change Early Settlement of the underlying Purchase Contract is effected, accrued and unpaid Contract Adjustment Payments otherwise payable after (i) the quarterly Contract Adjustment Payment Date immediately preceding the Early Settlement Date in connection with an Early Settlement and (ii) the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date in connection with a Fundamental Change Early Settlement, with respect to such Purchase Contract shall not be payable.

(e) The Company’s obligations with respect to Contract Adjustment Payments and deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon), if any, will be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the Company’s obligations under any Senior Indebtedness.

(f) In the event (x) of any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceedings, or (y) that (i) a default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the payment of principal, interest or any other monetary amounts due and payable on any Senior Indebtedness and such default shall have continued beyond the period of grace, if any, specified in the instrument evidencing such Senior Indebtedness (and the Purchase Contract Agent shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or one or more holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued) , or (ii) the maturity of any Senior Indebtedness shall have been accelerated because of a default (other than a default in the payment of principal or interest on other monetary amounts due and payable) in respect of any Senior Indebtedness, as defined therein or in the instrument under which the same is outstanding and any such acceleration shall not have been rescinded, then:

(i) the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall first be entitled to receive payment of the full amount due thereon, or provision shall be made for such payment in money or money’s worth, before the Holders of any of the Units are entitled to receive any payment or distribution (other than Permitted Junior Securities) on account of the Contract Adjustment Payments or deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) on the Purchase Contracts underlying the Units;

(ii) any payment by, or distribution of assets of, the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holders of any of the Units would be entitled except for the provisions of Section 5.11(f) through (t) (other than Permitted Junior Securities) shall be paid or delivered by the Person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or otherwise, directly to the representative or representatives of the holders of Senior Indebtedness or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of such Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution (or provision therefor) to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution is made of such Contract Adjustment Payments or deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) to the Holders of such Units; and

(iii) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment by, or distribution of assets of, the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities shall be received by the Purchase Contract Agent or the Holders of any of the Units when such payment or distribution is prohibited pursuant to Section 5.11(f) through (t), such payment or distribution shall be paid over to the representative or representatives of the holders of Senior Indebtedness or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably as aforesaid, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution (or provision therefor) to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

(g) For purposes of Section 5.11(f) through (t), the words “cash, property or securities” shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other Person provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, which are subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness of the Company which may at the time be outstanding to the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, provided in Section 5.11(f) through (t) for Contract Adjustment Payments or deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) (collectively, the “Permitted Junior Securities”). The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another corporation or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance or transfer of its property as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to another corporation upon the terms and conditions provided for in Article Nine hereof shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section 5.11 if such other corporation shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions stated in Article Nine hereof.

(h) Reserved.

(i) Upon the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company or the provision for such payment in accordance with its terms, the Holders of the Units shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until all such Contract Adjustment Payments and deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) owing on the Units shall be paid in full, and as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of such Senior Indebtedness and the Holders, no such payment or distribution made to the holders of Senior Indebtedness by virtue of Section 5.11(f) through (t) that otherwise would have been made to the Holders shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company on account of such Senior Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of Section 5.11(f) through (t) are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders, on the one hand, and the holders of Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand.

(j) Nothing contained in Section 5.11(f) through (t) or elsewhere in this Agreement or in the Units is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders such Contract Adjustment Payments and deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon) on the Units as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders and creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Purchase Contract Agent or any Holder from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Agreement, subject to the rights, if any, under Section 5.11(f) through (t), of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

(k) Upon payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in Section 5.11(f) through (t), the Purchase Contract Agent and the Holders shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which any such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceeding is pending , for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to these Section 5.11(f) through (t).

(l) The Purchase Contract Agent shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee or representative on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior Indebtedness or a trustee or representative on behalf of any such holder or holders. In the event that the Purchase Contract Agent determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to Section 5.11(f) through (t), the Purchase Contract Agent may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Purchase Contract Agent as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under Section 5.11(f) through (t), and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Purchase Contract Agent may defer payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.

(m) Nothing contained in Section 5.11(f) through (t) shall affect the obligations of the Company to make, or prevent the Company from making, payment of the Contract Adjustment Payments and deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon), except as otherwise provided in these Section 5.11(f) through (t).

(n) Each Holder of Units, by its acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs the Purchase Contract Agent on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in Section 5.11(f) through (t) and appoints the Purchase Contract Agent its attorney-in-fact, as the case may be, for any and all such purposes.

(o) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.11(f) through (t) or any other provisions of this Agreement, the Purchase Contract Agent shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Purchase Contract Agent, or the taking of any other action by the Purchase Contract Agent, unless and until the Purchase Contract Agent shall have received written notice thereof mailed or delivered to the Purchase Contract Agent at its Corporate Trust Office from the Company, any Holder, or the holder or representative of any Senior Indebtedness; provided that if at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such moneys may become payable for any purpose, the Purchase Contract Agent shall not have received with respect to such moneys the notice provided for in this Section, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Purchase Contract Agent shall have full power and authority to receive such moneys and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary that may be received by it within two Business Days prior to or on or after such date.

(p) The holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company may, without affecting in any manner the subordination of the Contract Adjustment Payments and deferred Contract Adjustment Payments (including Compounded Contract Adjustment Payments thereon), at any time or from time to time and in their absolute discretion, agree with the Company to change the manner, place or terms of payment, change or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, any Senior Indebtedness of the Company, or amend or supplement any instrument pursuant to which any Senior Indebtedness of the Company is issued, or exercise or refrain from exercising any other of their rights under the Senior Indebtedness of the Company including, without limitation, the waiver of default thereunder, all without notice to or assent from the Holders or the Purchase Contract Agent.

(q) The Purchase Contract Agent in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Section with respect to any Senior Indebtedness, at the time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness and nothing in this Agreement shall deprive the Purchase Contract Agent of any of its rights as such holder.

(r) No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination herein shall at any time or in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.

(s) Nothing in this Section 5.11 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Purchase Contract Agent under or pursuant to Section 7.07.

(t) With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, (i) the duties and obligations of the Purchase Contract Agent shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement; (ii) the Purchase Contract Agent shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to the Holders or to the Company or any other Person cash,

property or securities to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Section 5.11 or otherwise; (iii) no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Purchase Contract Agent; and (iv) the Purchase Contract Agent shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary as to such holders.

Section 5.12. 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 Contract Adjustment Payment Date (an “Extension Period”), but not beyond the Purchase Contract Settlement Date (or, with respect to Purchase Contracts for (i) which an effective Fundamental Change Early Settlement has occurred, the Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date or (ii) which an effective Early Settlement has occurred, the quarterly Contract Adjustment 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 Contract Adjustment Payment Date, but not beyond the Purchase Contract Settlement Date (or any applicable Fundamental Change Early Settlement Date or Contract Adjustment 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 7.50% per annum, compounded on each Contract Adjustment Payment Date, to, but excluding the Contract Adjustment Payment Date on which such deferred installments are paid (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 Contract Adjustment 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 5.11(a) (in the case of the end of an Extension Period), in the manner set forth in Section 5.08(b) (in the case of an Early Settlement) or in the manner set forth in Section 5.05(b)(ii) (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 a Cash Settlement, 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 to but excluding the Contract Adjustment 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 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 one Business Day 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.

Section 9.01. Covenant Not to Consolidate, Merge, Convey, Transfer or Lease Property except under Certain Conditions. The Company covenants that, so long as any Units are outstanding, it will not consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, unless:

(a) the corporation formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance or transfer, or which leases, the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and shall expressly assumes all of the responsibilities and liabilities of the Company under the Purchase Contracts, this Agreement, the Remarketing Agreement (if the Company has executed a Remarketing Agreement on or prior to the time of the merger, consolidation, conversion, sale, conveyance, transfer, assignment or other disposition) and the Indenture (including any supplement thereto), by one or more supplemental agreements in form reasonably satisfactory to the Purchase Contract Agent and the Collateral Agent;

(b) such successor Person shall not, immediately after giving effect to the transaction, be in default of payment obligations under the Purchase Contracts, this Agreement, the Indenture (including any supplement thereto), the Notes or the Remarketing Agreement (if we have executed a remarketing agreement on or prior to the time of the merger, consolidation, conversion, sale, conveyance, transfer, assignment or other disposition) or in material default in the performance of any other covenants under these agreements.

This Section 9.01 shall only apply to a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation and to conveyances, leases and transfers by the Company as transferor or lessor.

In case of any such merger, consolidation, conveyance (other than by way of lease) or transfer, and upon any such assumption by the successor corporation or limited liability company in accordance with Section 9.01, such successor corporation or limited liability company shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the Company, and the Company shall be relieved of any obligations under this Agreement and under the Units. Such successor corporation thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company any or all of the Certificates evidencing Units issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Purchase Contract Agent; and, upon the order of such successor instead of the Company, and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Agreement prescribed, the Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate and execute on behalf of the Holders and deliver any Certificates which previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Purchase Contract Agent for authentication and execution, and any Certificate evidencing Units which such successor corporation or limited liability company thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Purchase Contract Agent for that purpose. All the Certificates issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Agreement as the Certificates theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as though all of such Certificates had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

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

Section 9.03. Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel Given to Purchase Contract Agent. The Purchase Contract Agent, subject to Section 7.01 and Section 7.03, shall be entitled to receive an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and rely thereon as conclusive evidence that any such merger, consolidation, conveyance, transfer or lease, and any such assumption, complies with the provisions of this Article 9 and that all conditions precedent to the consummation of any such merger, consolidation, conveyance, transfer or lease have been met.

None of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary shall have any duty or responsibility to provide the Company with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Purchase Contract Agent or any Holder (or any of their respective affiliates) that may come into the possession of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary or any of their respective affiliates.

108

Section 15.08. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company agrees to:

(a) pay the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary from time to time such reasonable compensation as shall be agreed in writing between the Company and the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, for all services rendered by them hereunder;

(b) indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent, the Securities Intermediary and each of their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (collectively, the “Pledge Indemnitees”), from and against any and all claims, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable fees and out of pocket expenses of outside counsel) (collectively, “Losses” and individually, a “Loss”) that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Pledge Indemnitees or any of them for following any instructions or other directions upon which any of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary is entitled to 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 or bad faith 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 powers and duties under this Agreement, provided the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary has not acted with gross negligence or engaged in willful misconduct or bad faith with respect to the specific Loss against which indemnification is sought, including the Pledge Indemnitee’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of the Collateral Agent’s, the Custodial Agent’s or Securities Intermediary’s powers or duties hereunder or thereunder or of enforcing the provisions of this Section 15.08 and Section 15.14.

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

109

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:

(a) such conflicting or adverse claims or demands shall have been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or settled by agreement between the conflicting parties as evidenced in a writing satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary; or

(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 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 personal liability.

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

(i) the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent as attorney-in-fact for the Holders;

(ii) the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary may be removed at any time by the Company; 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 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 Holders of a majority of the Units.

The Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly notify the Company upon the transmission of notice as contemplated by clause (iii) of Section 15.10 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 under this Section 15.10, the Company shall have the right to

110

appoint a successor Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, which shall not be an Affiliate of the Purchase Contract Agent. If no successor Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 45 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 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 reliance upon the advice of, such agents or advisors selected in good faith. The appointment of agents pursuant to this Section 15.11 shall be subject to prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 15.12. Survival. The provisions of this Article 15 shall survive termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary.

Section 15.13. Exculpation. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Company, Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary or their officers, directors, employees or agents be liable under this Agreement for indirect, special, punitive, or consequential

111

loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, including, but not limited to, lost profits, whether or not the likelihood of such loss or damage was known to the Company, Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, or any of them and regardless of the form of action.

Section 15.14. Expenses, Etc. The Company agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary for:

(a) all reasonable costs, fees and out-of-pocket expenses of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary), in connection with (i) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery or performance of this Agreement (excluding taxes that are based on or measured by income in whole or in part (including franchise taxes)) and (ii) any modification, supplement or waiver of any of the terms of this Agreement;

(b) all reasonable costs, fees and out-of-pocket expenses of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) in connection with (i) any enforcement or proceedings resulting or incurred in connection with causing any Holder to satisfy its obligations under the Purchase Contracts forming a part of the Units and (ii) the enforcement of this Section 15.14;

(c) all transfer, stamp, documentary or other similar taxes, assessments or charges levied by any governmental or revenue authority in respect of this Agreement and all costs, expenses, taxes, assessments and other charges incurred in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated hereby;

(d) all reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of any agent or advisor appointed by the Collateral Agent and consented to by the Company under Section 15.11; and

(e) any other out-of-pocket costs and expenses (excluding taxes) reasonably incurred by the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary in connection with the performance of their duties hereunder.

Section 15.15. Force Majeure. In no event shall any of the Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent and Securities Intermediary be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused by circumstances beyond its control, including, without limitation, acts of God; earthquake; fires; floods; wars; civil or military disturbances; terrorist acts; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities; or acts of civil or military authority or governmental actions, in each case, which delay, restrict or prohibit the providing of services contemplated by this Agreement; it being understood that the Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent and Securities Intermediary shall use commercially reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under such circumstances.

112

ARTICLE 16

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 16.01. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Collateral Agent and security interests hereunder, and all obligations of the Holders from time to time hereunder pursuant to the Pledge, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any provision of the Purchase Contracts or the Units or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or any other term of, or any increase in the amount of, all or any of the obligations of Holders of the Units under the related Purchase Contracts, or any other amendment or waiver of any term of, or any consent to any departure from any requirement of, the Purchase Contract Agreement or any Purchase Contract or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; or

(c) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or discharge of, a borrower, a guarantor or a pledgor.

This Corporate Units Certificate certifies that [Cede & Co.] is the registered Holder of the number of Corporate Units set forth above [For inclusion in Global Certificates only — or such other number of Corporate Units reflected in the Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Global Certificate attached hereto, which number, taken together with the number of all other outstanding Corporate Units and the number of all outstanding Treasury Units, shall not exceed 22,000,0000 Units]. Each Corporate Unit consists of (i) the rights and obligations of the Holder under one Purchase Contract with the Company pursuant to which (A) the Holder will agree to purchase from the Company, and the Company will agree to sell to the Holder, not later than the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, for the Stated Amount in cash, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Settlement Rate, subject to anti-dilution adjustments and (B) the Company will pay the Holder quarterly Contract Adjustment Payments, subject to the Company’s right to defer such Contract Adjustment Payments and (ii) either (A) an Applicable Ownership Interest in Notes or (B) upon the occurrence of a Successful Optional Remarketing during the Optional Remarketing Period, the Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio, subject to the pledge of the Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio) by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement.

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.

In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Corporate Units Certificate and the provisions of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement (as defined below), the provisions of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement shall govern and control.

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 have 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 are payable on each Payment Date (or, in the case of 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), which is payable on the Purchase Contract Settlement 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.

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, at a Purchase Price equal to the Stated Amount, a number of shares of Common Stock, equal to the Settlement Rate, unless on or prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date there shall have occurred a Termination Event, an Early Settlement or a Fundamental

A-2

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 Common Stock purchased pursuant to each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby, if not paid earlier, shall be paid on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date by application of payment received in the Final Remarketing 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 Holder’s obligations under such Purchase Contract.

Distributions on the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes and 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) will be payable at the Corporate Trust Office of the Purchase Contract Agent or its agent in New York City, which is located at 101 Barclay Street, 8W, New York, New York 10286, except that all payments with respect to Global Certificates will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Depositary.

Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby obligates each Holder and beneficial owner to agree, for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes (unless otherwise required by any taxing authority) (i) to treat each beneficial owner of a Corporate Unit as the owner, separately, of each of the applicable Purchase Contract and the applicable interests in the Collateral, including the Notes underlying the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes or the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, (ii) to treat the Notes as indebtedness, (iii) to allocate, as of the date hereof, 100% of a Holder’s purchase price for a Corporate Unit to the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes and 0% to each Purchase Contract, which will establish each Holder’s initial tax basis in each Purchase Contract as $0 and each Holder’s initial tax basis in each Applicable Ownership Interest in Notes as $50, and (iv) in all events, not to take any position for U.S. federal, state or local income tax purposes that is inconsistent with or contrary to the above covenants.

The Company shall pay, on each Contract Adjustment Payment Date, in respect of each Purchase Contract forming part of a Corporate Unit evidenced hereby, an amount (the “Contract Adjustment Payments”) equal to 5.95% per year of the Stated Amount, computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. 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 Contract Adjustment 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 Senior Indebtedness.

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 or its agent in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City. 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 a prior written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent.

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 the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, dated as of June 18, 2012 (as may be supplemented from time to time, the “Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement”), between the Company, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Collateral Agent, as Custodial Agent, and as Securities Intermediary, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Purchase Contract Agent and as attorney-in-fact for the Holders of Corporate Units and Treasury Units from time to time, 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 Company, and the Holders and of the terms upon which the Corporate Units Certificates are, and are to be, executed and delivered.

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 at a price equal to the Stated Amount, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Settlement Rate, unless an Early Settlement, a Fundamental Change Early Settlement or a Termination Event with respect to the Unit of which such Purchase Contract is a part shall have occurred. The Settlement Rate is subject to adjustment as described in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement.

No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon settlement of any Purchase Contracts, as provided in Section 5.09 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 shares of Common Stock equal to the Minimum Settlement Rate (in the case of an Early Settlement) or applicable Fundamental Change Early 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 Common Stock purchased pursuant to each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby by effecting a Cash Settlement, an Early Settlement or, if applicable, a Fundamental Change Early Settlement, 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), from the proceeds of a Final Remarketing of the Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes or from the exercise of a Holder’s Put Right. A Holder of Corporate Units who (1) does not make an effective Cash Settlement in the manner and at the times provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, (2) does not, in the manner and at the times provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, make an effective Early Settlement or (3) does not, in the manner and at the times provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, make an effective Fundamental Change Early Settlement, shall pay the Purchase Price, as described in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, for the shares of Common Stock to be delivered under the related Purchase Contract (1) in the case of a Successful Final Remarketing, from the proceeds of the sale of the Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes held by the Collateral Agent in the Final Remarketing, (2) in the case of a Successful Optional Remarketing, from the proceeds at maturity 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 (3) in the case of a Failed Remarketing, from the proceeds of the exercise of a Holder’s Put Right, as described below.

As provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Failed Final Remarketing, as of the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, each Holder of any Pledged Applicable Interests in Notes, unless such Holder has elected Cash Settlement and delivered cash in accordance with Section 5.03(a) of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, shall be deemed to have exercised such Holder’s Put Right with respect to the Notes underlying such 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 Common Stock to be issued under the related Purchase Contracts in full satisfaction of such Holders’ Obligations under such Purchase Contracts.

A-5

The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common 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, as described in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, for the shares of Common Stock to be purchased thereunder in the manner set forth in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement.

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, shall immediately and automatically terminate, without the necessity of any notice or action by any Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent or the Company, if, on or prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, a Termination Event shall have occurred. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Company shall give written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral 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 forming a part of such Corporate Units 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 shall exercise the voting and any other consensual rights pertaining to the Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes 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 Corporate Units Holders the notice required by the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement.

Subject to the provisions of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Successful Optional Remarketing and receipt in the Collateral Account of the proceeds thereof, the Collateral Agent shall instruct the Securities Intermediary to apply an amount equal to the Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price to purchase the Treasury Portfolio.

Following the occurrence of a Successful Optional Remarketing, 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 specified in clause (i) of the definition of such term) as the Holder of Corporate Units and the Collateral Agent had in respect of Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes and the underlying Notes, subject to the Pledge thereof as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and any reference herein to the Notes or Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes shall be deemed to be a reference to the Treasury Portfolio or the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be.

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 a Treasury Security for the Notes underlying the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, thereby creating Treasury 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 Applicable Ownership Interest in Notes, or Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, and the Purchase Contract constituting such Corporate Units may be acquired, and 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 Pledged Treasury Securities secure the Holder’s obligation under the Purchase Contract shall be referred to as a “Treasury Unit.” Subject to certain exceptions in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, a Holder may make such Collateral Substitution only in integral multiples of 20 Corporate Units for 20 Treasury Units.

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 as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement in integral multiples of 20 Corporate Units, or if Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio have replaced the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes as a component of the Corporate Units, in integral multiples of 160,000 Corporate Units.

Upon Early Settlement of Purchase Contracts by a Holder of the related Units, 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) underlying such Units shall be released from the Pledge as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Minimum Settlement Rate for each Purchase Contract as to which Early Settlement is effected.

Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, a Holder of Corporate Units may effect Fundamental Change Early Settlement of the Purchase Contracts underlying such Corporate Units pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement in integral multiples of 20 Corporate Units, or if the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio have replaced the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes as a component of the Corporate Units, in integral multiples of 160,000 Corporate Units. Upon Fundamental Change Early Settlement of Purchase Contracts by a Holder of the related Corporate Units, 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) underlying such Corporate Units shall be released from the Pledge as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of Common Stock or other consideration specified in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement on account of each Purchase Contract that forms a part of a Corporate Unit as to which Fundamental Change Early Settlement is effected equal to the applicable Fundamental Change Early Settlement Rate.

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 Purchase Contracts shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, applicable to agreements made and to be performed wholly within such state.

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

Prior to due presentment of this 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 this Corporate Units Certificate is registered as the owner of the Corporate Units evidenced hereby for the purpose of (subject to the applicable record date) any payment or distribution with respect to the Notes underlying the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (ii) of the definition thereof) or payment of Contract Adjustment Payments and performance of the Purchase Contracts and for all other purposes whatsoever in connection with the Corporate Units, whether or not such payment, distribution, or performance shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, and neither the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent, nor any agent of the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent, shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Treasury Units

This Treasury Units Certificate certifies that [Cede & Co.] 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, which number, taken together with the number of all other outstanding Treasury Units and the number of all outstanding Corporate Units, shall not exceed 22,000,000 Units]. Each Treasury Unit consists of (i) a 1/20, or 5%, undivided beneficial ownership interest in a Treasury Security having a principal amount at maturity equal to $1,000, 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 pursuant to which (A) the Holder will agree to purchase from the Company, and the Company will agree to sell to the Holder, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, for the Stated Amount in cash, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Settlement Rate, subject to anti-dilution adjustments and (B) the Company will pay the Holder quarterly Contract Adjustment Payments, subject to the Company’s right to defer such Contract Adjustment Payments.

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.

In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Treasury Units Certificate and the provisions of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement (as defined below), the provisions of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement shall govern and control.

Pursuant to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, the Treasury Securities underlying each Treasury Unit evidenced hereby have 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.

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, at a Purchase Price equal to the Stated Amount, a number of shares of Common Stock, equal to the Settlement Rate, unless on or prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date 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 Common Stock purchased pursuant to each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby, if not paid earlier, shall be paid on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date by application of the proceeds from the Treasury Securities at maturity pledged to secure the obligations under such Purchase Contract.

The Company shall pay, on each Contract Adjustment Payment Date, in respect of each Purchase Contract forming part of a Treasury Unit evidenced hereby, an amount (the “Contract Adjustment Payments”) equal to 5.95% per year of the Stated Amount, computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. 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 Contract Adjustment 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 Senior Indebtedness.

B-2

Contract Adjustment Payments will be payable at the office of the Purchase Contract Agent or its agent in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City. 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 a prior written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent.

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 the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

(REVERSE OF TREASURY UNITS CERTIFICATE)

Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby is governed by a Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, dated as of June 18, 2012 (as may be supplemented from time to time, the “Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement”) between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Collateral Agent, as Custodial Agent, and as Securities Intermediary and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Purchase Contract Agent and as attorney-in-fact for the Holders of Corporate Units and Treasury Units from time to time, 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 Company and the Holders and of the terms upon which the Treasury Units Certificates are, and are to be, executed and delivered.

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 at a price equal to the Stated Amount, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Settlement Rate, unless an Early Settlement, a Fundamental Change Early Settlement or a Termination Event with respect to the Unit of which such Purchase Contract is a part shall have occurred. The Settlement Rate is subject to adjustment as described in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement.

No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon settlement of any Purchase Contracts, as provided in Section 5.09 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 shares of Common Stock equal to the Minimum Settlement Rate (in the case of an Early Settlement) or applicable Fundamental Change Early 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 Unit Certificate shall pay the Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock 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 Pledged Treasury Securities underlying such Holder’s Treasury Unit equal to the Purchase Price for such Purchase Contract to the purchase of the Common Stock. A Holder of Treasury Units who does not, in the manner and at the times provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, make an effective Cash Settlement, Early Settlement or Fundamental Change Early Settlement, shall pay the Purchase Price, as described in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, for the shares of Common Stock to be issued under the related Purchase Contract from the proceeds of the Pledged Treasury Securities.

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, shall immediately and automatically terminate, without the necessity of any notice or action by any Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent or the Company, if, on or prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, a Termination Event shall have occurred. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Company shall give written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Holders, at their addresses as they appear in the Security Register. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Collateral Agent shall release the Treasury Securities underlying each Treasury Unit from the Pledge. A Treasury Unit shall thereafter represent the right to receive the Treasury Security underlying such Treasury Unit, in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement.

B-5

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 Treasury Securities, 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 interest in the Treasury Security and the Purchase Contract constituting such Treasury Unit may be acquired, and 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 Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes secure the Holder’s obligation under the Purchase Contract 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 20 Treasury Units for 20 Corporate Units.

Upon Early Settlement of Purchase Contracts by a Holder of the related Units, the Pledged Treasury Securities underlying such Units shall be released from the Pledge as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Minimum Settlement Rate for each Purchase Contract as to which Early Settlement is effected.

Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, a Holder of Treasury Units may effect Fundamental Change Early Settlement of the Purchase Contracts underlying such Treasury Units pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement in integral multiples of 20 Treasury Units (subject to certain exceptions described in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement). Upon Fundamental Change Early Settlement of Purchase Contracts by a Holder of the related Treasury Units, the Pledged Treasury Securities underlying such Treasury Units shall be released from the Pledge as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of Common Stock or other consideration specified in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement on account of each Purchase Contract that forms a part of a Treasury Unit as to which Fundamental Change Early Settlement is effected equal to the applicable Fundamental Change Early Settlement Rate.

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 Treasury Securities 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, payments

B-6

in respect to the aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Pledged Treasury Securities on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date equal to the aggregate Purchase Price, as described in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, 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.

Subject to certain exceptions, the provisions of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement may be amended with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Units.

The Purchase Contracts shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, applicable to agreements made and to be performed wholly within such state.

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

Prior to due presentment of this 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 this Corporate Units Certificate is registered as the owner of the Corporate Units evidenced hereby for the purpose of (subject to the applicable record date) any payment of Contract Adjustment Payments and performance of the Purchase Contracts and for all other purposes whatsoever in connection with the Treasury Units, whether or not such payment, distribution, or performance shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, and neither the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent, nor any agent of the Company or the Purchase Contract 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.

The Remarketing Agent shall also, if required by the Securities Act, deliver, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, to each purchaser a Prospectus in connection with the Remarketing.

(b) The Remarketing Agent will indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, any related preliminary prospectus supplement, or any Private Placement Marketing Materials, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Remarketing Agent, directly or indirectly, expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.

P-15

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of any claim or of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof. The omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party, provided that, in the case of any such omission relating to the commencement of an action, such omission shall relieve the indemnifying party of liability under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties, or both, which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties.

Section 8. Contribution.

If the indemnification provided for in Section 7 shall be unavailable to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) of Section 7 in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Remarketing Agent on the other from the Remarketing and also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Remarketing Agent on

P-16

the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Remarketing Agent on the other in connection with the Remarketing shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the Remarketing (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bears to the total Remarketing Fee and any other portion of the proceeds of the Remarketing realized by the Remarketing Agent, if any. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under Section 7(c), including the consequences of such failure, and whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Remarketing Agent on the other and the relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission, of the Company on the one hand and the Remarketing Agent, on the other hand. The Company and the Remarketing Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by per-capita allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 8. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 8 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, the Remarketing Agent shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Remarketed Notes were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which the Remarketing Agent has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

The obligations of the Company under this Section 8 and Section 7 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the Remarketing Agent within the meaning of the Act, and the obligations of the Remarketing Agent under this Section 8 and Section 7 shall be in addition to any liability which the Remarketing Agent may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each director of the Company, to each officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act.

Section 9. Resignation and Removal of the Remarketing Agent.

The Remarketing Agent may, upon 30 days’ prior written notice, resign and be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder, and the Company may remove the Remarketing Agent by written notice at any time, in the case of a resignation, delivered to the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent and, in the case of a removal, delivered

P-17

to the Remarketing Agent and the Purchase Contract Agent; provided, however, that no such resignation nor any such removal shall become effective until the Company shall have appointed at least one nationally recognized broker-dealer as a successor Remarketing Agent and such successor Remarketing Agent shall have entered into a remarketing agreement with the Company, in which it shall have agreed to conduct the Remarketing in accordance with the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement in all material respects.

In any such case, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to appoint a successor Remarketing Agent and enter into such a remarketing agreement with such person as soon as reasonably practicable.

Section 10. Dealing in Securities.

The Remarketing Agent, when acting as the Remarketing Agent or in its individual or any other capacity, may, to the extent permitted by law, buy, sell, hold and deal in any of the Remarketed Notes, Corporate Units, Treasury Units or any of the securities of the Company (collectively, the “Securities”), but shall not be obligated to purchase any of the Remarketed Notes for its own account. The Remarketing Agent may exercise any vote or join in any action which any beneficial owner of such Securities may be entitled to exercise or take pursuant to the Indenture with like effect as if it did not act in any capacity hereunder.

Section 11. Remarketing Agent’s Performance; Duty of Care.

The duties and obligations of the Remarketing Agent shall be determined solely by the express provisions of the Transaction Documents. No implied covenants or obligations of or against the Remarketing Agent shall be read into any of the Transaction Documents. In the absence of bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Remarketing Agent, the Remarketing Agent may conclusively rely upon any document furnished to it, as to the truth of the statements expressed in any of such documents. The Remarketing Agent shall be protected in acting upon any document or communication reasonably believed by it to have been signed, presented or made by the proper party or parties. The Remarketing Agent shall have no obligation to determine whether there is any limitation under applicable law on the Reset Rate on the Notes or, if there is any such limitation, the maximum permissible Reset Rate on the Notes, and it shall rely solely upon written notice from the Company (which the Company agrees to provide prior to the third Business Day before the applicable Remarketing Date) as to whether or not there is any such limitation and, if so, the maximum permissible Reset Rate. The Remarketing Agent, acting under this Agreement, shall incur no liability to the Company or to any holder of Remarketed Notes in its individual capacity or as Remarketing Agent for any action or failure to act, on its part in connection with a Remarketing or otherwise, except if such liability is (a) judicially determined to have resulted from its failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement or bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part or (b) determined pursuant to Section 7 or 8 of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Remarketing Agent pursuant to this Agreement.

P-18

Section 12. Termination.

This Agreement shall automatically terminate (a) as to the Remarketing Agent on the effective date of the resignation or removal of the Remarketing Agent pursuant to Section 9 of this Agreement and (b) on the earlier of (i) the occurrence of a Termination Event and (ii) the Business Day immediately following the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, in the event there has been a Successful Remarketing, the obligations set forth in Section 4 hereof shall survive and remain in full force and effect until all amounts payable under said Section 4 hereof shall have been paid in full.

Section 13. Reimbursement of Remarketing Agent’s Expenses.

If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 12 or if the settlement of the Remarketed Notes does not occur in connection with a Successful Remarketing because of any of the events referred to in Section 6(h), then the Company shall not then be under any liability to the Remarketing Agent except as provided in Sections 5(b), 7 and 8; but, if for any other reason the settlement of the Remarketed Notes does not occur in connection with a Successful Remarketing, the Company will reimburse the Remarketing Agent for all out-of-pocket expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Remarketing Agent in making preparations for the settlement of the Remarketed Notes, but the Company shall then be under no further liability to the Remarketing Agent with respect to such failed settlement of the Remarketed Notes except as provided in Sections 5(b), 7 and 8.

Section 14. USA Patriot Act.

In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Remarketing Agent is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the underwriters to properly identify their respective clients.

Section 14. No Fiduciary Duty.

The Company hereby acknowledges that (a) the transactions contemplated under this Agreement are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Company, on the one hand, and the Remarketing Agent and any affiliate through which it may be acting, on the other hand, (b) the Remarketing Agent is not acting as a fiduciary of the Company and (c) the Company’s engagement of the Remarketing Agent in connection with the Remarketing is as an independent contractor and not in any other capacity. Furthermore, the Company agrees that it is solely responsible for making its own judgments in connection with the Remarketing (irrespective of whether the Remarketing Agent has advised or is currently advising the Company on related or other matters, and the

P-19

Remarketing Agent shall have no responsibility or liability to the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement). The Company agrees that it will not claim that the Remarketing Agent has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

The provisions of Sections 7, 8, 11 and 13 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Remarketing Agent pursuant to this Agreement or the termination and cancellation of this Agreement.

Section 18. Governing Law.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED WHOLLY WITHIN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

The headings herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of, or to affect the meaning or interpretation of, this Agreement.

P-21

Section 22. Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or deemed to be or shall, in fact, be invalid, inoperative or unenforceable as applied in any particular case in any or all jurisdictions because it conflicts with any provisions of any constitution, statute, rule or public policy or for any other reason, then, to the extent permitted by law, such circumstances shall not have the effect of rendering the provision in question invalid, inoperative or unenforceable in any other case, circumstance or jurisdiction, or of rendering any other provision or provisions of this Agreement invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to any extent whatsoever.

Section 23. Amendments.

This Agreement may be amended by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto. Each of the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent agrees that it will not enter into, cause or permit any amendment or modification of the Transaction Documents or any other instruments or agreements relating to the Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, the Notes or the Corporate Units that would in any way materially adversely affect the rights, duties and obligations of the Remarketing Agent, without the prior written consent of the Remarketing Agent.
