form, bearing identical terms. Principal of and interest on the Senior Notes
will be payable, the transfer of such Senior Notes will be registrable, and such

amount bearing identical terms and provisions, at the office or agency of the
Company maintained for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New

provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the
Company by check mailed to the Holder at such address as shall appear in the
Security Register
6
or by wire transfer to an account appropriately designated by the Holder
entitled to payment.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of the Senior Notes, but the Company may require payment from the
Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection therewith.
The Security Registrar and Paying Agent for the Senior Notes shall

The Senior Notes shall be issuable in denominations of $50 and integral
multiples of $50 in excess thereof.

The amount of interest payable for any period shorter than a full quarterly
period for which interest is computed will be computed on the basis of a 30-day
month and, for any period less than a month, on the basis of the actual number
of days elapsed per 30-day month. In the event that any scheduled Interest
Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then payment of interest
payable on such Interest Payment Date will be made on the next succeeding day
which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of
any such delay), except that, if such Business Day is in the next calendar year,
then such payment will be made on the preceding Business Day.

applicable Remarketing Date, that the Depositary or its nominee notify the
Beneficial Owners or Depositary Participants holding Separate Senior Notes,
Corporate Units and Treasury Units of the procedures to be followed in the
applicable Remarketing.
(b) Each Holder of Separate Senior Notes may elect to have Separate
Senior Notes held by such Holder remarketed in any Remarketing. A Holder making
such an election must, pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, notify the Custodial
Agent and deliver such Separate Senior Notes to the Custodial Agent prior to
5:00 P.M. (New York City time) on or prior to the fifth Business Day immediately
preceding the applicable Remarketing Date (but no earlier than the Interest
Payment Date immediately preceding the applicable Remarketing Date). Any such
notice and delivery may not be conditioned upon the level at which the Reset

withdrawn prior to 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) on or prior to the fifth
Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Remarketing Date in accordance
with the provisions set forth in the Pledge Agreement. Any such notice and
delivery not withdrawn by such time will be irrevocable with respect to such

11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the
applicable Remarketing Date, the Custodial Agent, based on the notices and
deliveries received by it prior to such time, shall notify the Remarketing Agent
of the principal amount of Separate Senior Notes to be tendered for remarketing
and shall cause such Separate Senior Notes to be
11
presented to the Remarketing Agent. Under Section 5.02 of the Purchase Contract
Agreement, Senior Notes that are components of Corporate Units will be deemed
tendered for Remarketing and will be remarketed in accordance with the terms of
the Remarketing Agreement.
(c) The right of each Holder of Senior Notes that are included in
Corporate Units to have such Senior Notes, and each Holder of Separate Senior
Notes to have any Separate Senior Notes (together, the “Remarketed Senior
Notes”), remarketed and sold on any Remarketing Date shall be limited to the
extent that (i) the Remarketing Agent conducts a Remarketing pursuant to the
terms of the Remarketing Agreement, (ii) a Special Event Redemption has not
occurred prior to such Remarketing Date, (iii) the Remarketing Agent is able to
find a purchaser or purchasers for Remarketed Senior Notes at the Remarketing
Price or the Final Remarketing Price, as the case may be, and (iv) the purchaser
or purchasers deliver the purchase price therefor to the Remarketing Agent as
and when required.
(d) Neither the Trustee, the Company nor the Remarketing Agent shall
be obligated in any case to provide funds to make payment upon tender of Senior
Notes for remarketing.
Section 8.02. Remarketing. (a) Unless a Special Event Redemption has
occurred prior to the Initial Remarketing Date, on the Initial Remarketing Date,
the Remarketing Agent shall, pursuant and subject to the terms of the
Remarketing Agreement, use its reasonable efforts to remarket the Remarketed
Senior Notes at a price (the “Remarketing Price”) equal to approximately 100.25%
of the sum of the Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price and the Separate Senior Note
Purchase Price.
(b) In the case of a Failed Initial Remarketing and unless a Special
Event Redemption has occurred prior to the Final Remarketing Date, on the Final
Remarketing Date, the Remarketing Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to
remarket the Remarketed Senior Notes at a price (the “Final Remarketing Price”)
equal to approximately 100.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the
Remarketed Senior Notes. It is understood and agreed that Remarketing on any
Remarketing Date will be considered successful and no further attempts will be
made if the resulting proceeds are at least 100.25% of the sum of the Treasury
Portfolio Purchase Price and the Separate Senior Note Purchase Price, in the
case of the Initial Remarketing, or 100.25% of the aggregate principal amount of
the Remarketed Senior Notes in the case of the Final Remarketing.
Section 8.03. Reset Rate. (a) In connection with each Remarketing, the
Remarketing Agent shall determine the Reset Rate (rounded to the nearest
one-thousandth (0.001) of one percent per annum) that the Remarketed Senior
Notes
12
should bear in order to have an aggregate market value equal to the Remarketing
Price or the Final Remarketing Price, as the case may be, and that in the sole
discretion of the Remarketing Agent will enable it to remarket all of the
Remarketed Senior Notes at the Remarketing Price or Final Remarketing Price, as
the case may be, in such Remarketing.
(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Reset Rate
shall in no event exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law and the
Remarketing Agent shall have no obligation to determine whether there is any
limitation under applicable law on the Reset Rate or, if there is any such
limitation, the maximum permissible Reset Rate on the Senior Notes and they
shall rely solely upon written notice from the Company (which the Company agrees
to provide prior to the eighth Business Day before the Initial Remarketing Date)
as to whether or not there is any such limitation and, if so, the maximum
permissible Reset Rate.
(c) In the event of a Failed Remarketing or if no Senior Notes are
included in Corporate Units and none of the holders of the Separate Senior Notes
elect to have their Senior Notes remarketed in any Remarketing, the applicable
interest rate on the Senior Notes will not be reset and will continue to be the
Coupon Rate.
(d) In the event of a Successful Remarketing, the Coupon Rate shall
be reset at the Reset Rate as determined by the Remarketing Agent under the
Remarketing Agreement.
Section 8.04. Failed Remarketing. (a) If, by 4:00 p.m. (New York City
time) on any Remarketing Date, the Remarketing Agent is unable to remarket all
of the Remarketed Senior Notes at the Remarketing Price or the Final Remarketing
Price, as the case may be, pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof, a Failed
Remarketing shall be deemed to have occurred, and the Remarketing Agent shall so
advise, by telephone the Depositary, the Purchase Contract Agent and the
Company. Promptly following any Failed Remarketing, the Remarketing Agent shall
return Separate Senior Notes submitted for remarketing, if any, to the Custodial
Agent for distribution to the appropriate Holders.
(b) The Company shall cause a notice of such Failed Remarketing to be
published in a daily newspaper in the English language of general circulation in
the City of New York, which is expected to be The Wall Street Journal.
Section 8.05. Put Right. (a) If there has not been a Successful
Remarketing prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, Holders of Separate
Senior Notes and Holders of Senior Notes that are a component of Corporate
13
Units will, subject to this Section 8.05, have the right (the “Put Right”) to
require the Company to purchase their Senior Notes, on the Purchase Contract
Settlement Date, at a price per Senior Note equal to $50.00 plus accrued and
unpaid interest to but excluding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date (the “Put
Price”).
(b) The Put Right of Holders of Senior Notes that are part of
Corporate Units will be automatically exercised unless such Holders (1) prior to
11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately preceding
the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, provide written notice to the Purchase
Contract Agent of their intention to settle the related Purchase Contract with
separate cash, and (2) on or prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the
Purchase Contract Settlement Date, deliver to the Collateral Agent $50 in cash
per Purchase Contract, in each case pursuant to the Purchase Contract Agreement.
Unless a Corporate Unit holder has settled the related Purchase Contract with
separate cash on or prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Company,
on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, shall cause the Put Price to be
deposited in the Collateral Account and the Collateral Agent shall cause the
Securities Intermediary to remit the Purchase Price for the shares of Common
Stock to be issued under the related Purchase Contract from a portion of the
Proceeds of the Put Right to the Company in full satisfaction of such Holder’s
obligations under the related Purchase Contract. Any remaining amount of the Put
Price following satisfaction of the related Purchase Contract will be paid to
such Corporate Unit holder. If the Company shall fail to pay the Put Price on
the Purchase Contract Settlement Date in accordance with the foregoing, the
Company shall be deemed to have netted its obligation to pay the Put Price
against the obligation of a Holder of a Senior Note that is a component of a
Corporate Unit to pay the Purchase Price under the related Purchase Contract on
the Purchase Contract Settlement Date.
(c) The Put Right of a Holder of a Separate Senior Note shall only be
exercisable upon delivery of a notice to the Trustee by such Holder on or prior
to the second Business Day prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. On or
prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Company shall deposit with
the Trustee immediately available funds in an amount sufficient to pay, on the
Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the aggregate Put Price of all Separate
Senior Notes with respect to which a Holder has exercised a Put Right. In
exchange for any Separate Senior Notes surrendered pursuant to the Put Right,
the Trustee shall then distribute such amount to the Holders of such Separate
Senior Notes.
Section 8.06. Additional Event of Default. In addition to the events
listed as Events of Default in Section 501 of the Base Indenture, it shall be an
additional Event of Default with respect to the Senior Notes, if the Company
shall not have satisfied its obligation to pay the Put Price when due in
accordance with
14
Section 8.05 (either by payment of the Put Price to the Trustee when due, by
deposit of the Put Price in the Collateral Account when due or by netting the
Put Price against a Holder’s obligation under the related Purchase Contract if a
Senior Note is a component of a Corporate Unit).

Note and the Purchase Contract constituting the Corporate Unit and (2) to treat
the Senior Note as indebtedness for United States federal, state and local
