ARTICLE IV.

SUBSTITUTION, RELEASE, REPLEDGE AND SETTLEMENT OF DEBENTURES

SECTION 4.1

Substitution for Debentures and the Creation of Treasury Units

A Holder of a Corporate Unit may create or recreate a Treasury Unit and separate the Applicable Ownership Interest in Debentures or the Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio, as applicable, from the related Purchase Contract in respect of such Corporate Unit by substituting Treasury Securities for all, but not less than all, of the Applicable Ownership Interest in Debentures or Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio that form a part of such Corporate Unit in accordance with this Section 4.1 and Section 3.13 of the Purchase Contract Agreement; provided, however, that if the Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio has not replaced the Applicable Ownership Interest in Debentures as a component of Corporate Units as a result of a Successful Remarketing or a Special Event Redemption or a Mandatory Redemption, such Collateral Substitutions may only be made on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the seventh Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date; and if the Treasury Portfolio has replaced the Debentures underlying the Applicable Ownership Interest in Debentures as a component of Corporate Units as a result of a Successful Remarketing or a Special Event Redemption or a Mandatory Redemption, such Collateral Substitutions may only be made on or prior to the second Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. In accordance with Section 3.13 of the Purchase Contract Agreement, unless a Successful Remarketing or a Special Event Redemption or a Mandatory Redemption has previously occurred, Holders of Corporate Units shall not be permitted to effect Collateral Substitutions during the period commencing on and including the Business Day prior to the first of the three sequential Remarketing Dates comprising a Three-Day Remarketing Period and ending on and including the Reset Date relating to a Successful Remarketing during such Three-Day Remarketing Period or, if none of the Remarketings during such Three-Day Remarketing Period is successful, the Business Day following the last of the three sequential Remarketing Dates occurring during such Three-Day Remarketing Period. Holders of Corporate Units may make Collateral Substitutions and establish Treasury Units (i) only in integral multiples of 20 Corporate Units if Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures are being substituted for Treasury Securities, or (ii) only in integral multiples of 20,000 Corporate Units (or such other number of Corporate Units as may be determined by the Remarketing Agent following a Successful Remarketing if the Reset Date is not a Payment Date) if the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio are being substituted for Treasury Securities. For example, to create 20 Treasury Units (if a Special Event Redemption or a Mandatory Redemption has not occurred and the Applicable Ownership

Interests in Debentures remain components of Corporate Units), or 20,000 Treasury Units (if a Special Event Redemption or a Mandatory Redemption has occurred or the Treasury Portfolio has replaced the Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures as components of Corporate Units as a result of a Successful Remarketing) (or such other number of Treasury Units as may be determined by the Remarketing Agent following a Successful Remarketing if the Reset Date is not a Payment Date), the Corporate Unit Holder shall,

(a) if the Treasury Portfolio has not replaced the Applicable Ownership Interest in Debentures as a component of Corporate Units as a result of a Successful Remarketing or a Special Event Redemption or a Mandatory Redemption, on or prior to the seventh Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, deposit with the Collateral Agent a Treasury Security having a principal amount at maturity of $1,000; or

(b) if the Treasury Portfolio has replaced the Applicable Ownership Interest in Debentures as a component of Corporate Units as a result of a Successful Remarketing or a Special Event Redemption or a Mandatory Redemption, on or prior to the second Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, deposit with the Collateral Agent Treasury Securities having an aggregate principal amount at maturity of $1,000,000; and

(c) in each case, transfer and surrender the related 20 Corporate Units, or in the event the Treasury Portfolio is a component of Corporate Units, 20,000 Corporate Units (or such other number of Corporate Units as may be determined by the Remarketing Agent following a Successful Remarketing if the Reset Date is not a Payment Date), to the Purchase Contract Agent accompanied by an instruction to the Purchase Contract Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, stating that the Holder has transferred the relevant amount of Treasury Securities to the Collateral Agent and requesting that the Purchase Contract Agent instruct the Collateral Agent to release the Applicable Ownership Interest in Debentures or the Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, underlying such Corporate Units, whereupon the Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly give such instruction to the Collateral Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto.

Upon receipt of the Treasury Securities described in clause (a) or (b) above and the instructions described in clause (c) above from the Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent shall release the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures or the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, and shall promptly Transfer such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures or the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, free and clear of the lien, pledge or security interest created hereby, to the Purchase Contract Agent for the benefit of the Holders.

SECTION 4.2

Substitution for Treasury Securities and the Creation of Corporate Units

A Holder of a Treasury Unit may create or recreate a Corporate Unit by depositing with the Collateral Agent the Applicable Ownership Interest in Debentures or the Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, in substitution for all, but not less than all, of the Treasury Securities comprising part of the Treasury Unit in accordance with

this Section 4.2 and 3.14 of the Purchase Contract Agreement; provided, however, that if the Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio has not replaced the Applicable Ownership Interest in Debentures as a component of Corporate Units as a result of a Successful Remarketing or a Special Event Redemption or a Mandatory Redemption, such Collateral Substitutions may only be made on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately preceding the first day of the Final Three-Day Remarketing Period; and if the Treasury Portfolio has replaced the Debentures underlying the Applicable Ownership Interest in Debentures as a component of Corporate Units as a result of a Successful Remarketing or a Special Event Redemption or a Mandatory Redemption, such Collateral Substitutions may only be made on or prior to the second Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. In accordance with Section 3.14 of the Purchase Contract Agreement, unless a Successful Remarketing or a Special Event Redemption or a Mandatory Redemption has previously occurred, Holders of Treasury Units shall not be permitted to effect Collateral Substitutions during the period commencing on and including the Business Day prior to the first of the three sequential Remarketing Dates comprising a Three-Day Remarketing Period and ending on and including the Reset Date relating to a Successful Remarketing during such Three-Day Remarketing Period or, if none of the Remarketings during such Three-Day Remarketing Period is successful, the Business Day following the last of the three sequential Remarketing Dates occurring during such Three-Day Remarketing Period. Holders of Treasury Units may make such Collateral Substitutions and establish Corporate Units (i) only in integral multiples of 20 Treasury Units if Treasury Securities are being replaced by Applicable Ownership Interest in Debentures, or (ii) only in integral multiples of 20,000 Treasury Units (or such other number of Treasury Units as may be determined by the Remarketing Agent following a Successful Remarketing if the Reset Date is not a Payment Date) if any Treasury Security is being replaced by the Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio.

For example, to create 20 Corporate Units (if a Special Event Redemption or a Mandatory Redemption has not occurred and the Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures remain components of Corporate Units), or 20,000 Corporate Units (if a Special Event Redemption or a Mandatory Redemption has occurred or the Treasury Portfolio has replaced the Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures as components of Corporate Units as a result of a Successful Remarketing) (or such other number of Corporate Units as may be determined by the Remarketing Agent following a Successful Remarketing if the Reset Date is not a Payment Date), the Treasury Unit Holder shall

(a) if the Treasury Portfolio has not replaced the Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures as a component of Corporate Units as a result of a Successful Remarketing or a Special Event Redemption or a Mandatory Redemption, on or prior to the seventh Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, deposit with the Collateral Agent a $1,000 principal amount Debenture; or

(b) if the Treasury Portfolio has replaced the Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures as a component of Corporate Units as a result of a Successful Remarketing or a Special Event Redemption or a Mandatory Redemption, on or prior to the second Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, deposit with the Collateral Agent

the Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio having an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000; and

(c) in each case, transfer and surrender the related 20 Treasury Units, or in the event the Treasury Portfolio is a component of Corporate Units, 20,000 Treasury Units (or such other number of Treasury Units as may be determined by the Remarketing Agent following a Successful Remarketing if the Reset Date is not a Payment Date), to the Purchase Contract Agent accompanied by an instruction to the Purchase Contract Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, stating that the Holder has transferred the relevant amount of Applicable Ownership Interest in Debentures or the Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, to the Collateral Agent and requesting that the Purchase Contract Agent instruct the Collateral Agent to release the Pledged Treasury Securities underlying such Treasury Units, whereupon the Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly give such instruction to the Collateral Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto.

Upon receipt of the Debenture or the Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, described in clause (a) or (b) above and the instructions described in clause (c) above from the Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent shall release the Pledged Treasury Securities and shall promptly Transfer such Pledged Treasury Securities, free and clear of the lien, pledge or security interest created hereby, to the Purchase Contract Agent for the benefit of the Holders.

SECTION 4.3

Termination Event

Upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of written notice from the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent that there has occurred a Termination Event, the Collateral Agent shall release all Collateral from the Pledge and shall promptly Transfer any Debentures underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures (or, if (i) a Special Event Redemption, (ii) a Mandatory Redemption if the proceeds thereof were used to acquire the Treasury Portfolio in accordance with the Purchase Contract Agreement or (iii) a Successful Remarketing, as the case may be, has occurred, the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio) and Pledged Treasury Securities to the Purchase Contract Agent for the benefit of the Holders of the Corporate Units and the Treasury Units, respectively, free and clear of any lien, pledge or security interest or other interest created hereby.

If such Termination Event shall result from the Company’s 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 Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures, the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or the Pledged Treasury Securities, as the case may be, as provided by this Section 4.3, any Holder may, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall, upon receipt from the Holders of security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by the Purchase Contract Agent in compliance with this paragraph, (i) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain an opinion of a nationally recognized law firm reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent to the effect that, as a result of the Company 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 4.3, and shall deliver such opinion to the Collateral Agent within ten days after the occurrence of such

Termination Event, and if (A) any such Holder or 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 Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures, the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or the Pledged Treasury Securities, as the case may be, as provided in this Section 4.3, then any Holder may, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall within 15 days after the occurrence of such Termination Event, commence an action or proceeding in the court with 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 Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures, the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or of the Pledged Treasury Securities, as the case may be, as provided by this Section 4.3 or (ii) commence an action or proceeding in the court with jurisdiction of the Company’s case under the Bankruptcy Code like that described in clause (i)(B) of this Section 4.3 within ten days after the occurrence of such Termination Event.

SECTION 4.4

Cash Settlement

(a) Upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of (i) a notice from the Purchase Contract Agent that a Holder of a Corporate Unit or Treasury Unit has elected, in accordance with the procedures specified in Section 5.4(a)(i) or (c)(i) of the Purchase Contract Agreement, respectively, to settle its Purchase Contract with cash and (ii) payment by such Holder of the amount required to settle the Purchase Contract prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the sixth 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 Company, then the Collateral Agent shall, upon written direction of the Company, promptly invest any cash received from a Holder in connection with a Cash Settlement in Permitted Investments. Upon receipt of the proceeds upon the maturity of the Permitted Investments on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Collateral Agent shall pay the portion of such proceeds and deliver any certified or cashiers’ checks received, in an aggregate amount equal to the Purchase Price, to the Company on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, and shall distribute any funds in respect of the interest earned from the Permitted Investments to the Purchase Contract Agent for payment to the relevant Holder.

(b) If a Holder of Corporate Units (if Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures are components thereof) fails to notify the Purchase Contract Agent of its intention to effect a Cash Settlement in accordance with Section 5.4(a)(i) of the Purchase Contract Agreement, such failure shall constitute a default under the related Purchase Contracts, and the Holder shall be deemed to have consented to the disposition of the Debentures underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures pursuant to the Remarketing as described in Section 5.4(a) of the Purchase Contract Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference, and Section 4.6 hereof, and the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Company, will exercise its rights as a secured party with respect to the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures at the direction of the Company to cause the Remarketing of the Debentures underlying such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures. If a Holder of Corporate Units does notify the Purchase Contract Agent as provided in Section 5.4(a)(i) of the Purchase Contract Agreement of its intention to effect a Cash Settlement, but fails to make such

payment as required by Section 5.4(a)(ii) of the Purchase Contract Agreement, such failure shall constitute a default under the related Purchase Contracts, and the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures of such a Holder will not be remarketed but instead the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Company, will exercise its rights as a secured party with respect to such Applicable Ownership Interest in Debentures at the direction of the Company to retain or dispose of the Collateral in accordance with applicable law. If all the Remarketings during the Final Three-Day Remarketing Period result in Failed Remarketings as described in Section 5.4(a) of the Purchase Contract Agreement, such Failed Remarketings shall constitute a default under the related Purchase Contracts by such Holder, and the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Company, will exercise its rights as a secured party with respect to such Debentures underlying the Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures at the direction of the Company to retain or dispose of the Collateral in accordance with applicable law.

(c) If a Holder of Treasury Units or Corporate Units (if the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio has replaced the Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures as a component of the Corporate Units) fails to notify the Purchase Contract Agent of its intention to effect a Cash Settlement in accordance with Section 5.4(c)(i) of the Purchase Contract Agreement, or if a Holder of Treasury Units or Corporate Units (if the Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio has replaced the Applicable Ownership Interest in Debentures as a component of the Corporate Units) notifies the Purchase Contract Agent as provided in Section 5.4(c)(i) of the Purchase Contract Agreement of its intention to effect a Cash Settlement, but fails to make such payment as required by Section 5.4(c)(ii) of the Purchase Contract Agreement, such failure shall constitute a default under the related Purchase Contracts by such Holder and upon the maturity of the related Pledged Treasury Securities or the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, if any, held by the Collateral Agent on the Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the principal amount of such Pledged Treasury Securities, or the portion of the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, corresponding to such Purchase Contracts received by the Collateral Agent shall, upon written direction of the Company, be invested promptly in Permitted Investments. On the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, an aggregate amount equal to the Purchase Price will be remitted to the Company as payment of the Purchase Price of such Purchase Contracts. In the event the sum of the Proceeds from the Pledged Treasury Securities or the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, and the investment earnings earned from the Permitted Investments is in excess of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchase Contracts being settled thereby, the Collateral Agent will distribute such excess to the Purchase Contract Agent for the benefit of the Holder of the related Treasury Units or Corporate Units.

SECTION 4.5

Early Settlement; Fundamental Change Early Settlement

Upon written notice to the Collateral Agent by the Purchase Contract Agent that a Holder of an Equity Unit has elected to effect Early Settlement or Fundamental Change Early Settlement of its entire obligation under the Purchase Contract forming a part of such Equity Unit in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Contract and the Purchase Contract Agreement, and that 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 or Fundamental Change Early Settlement Amount, as the case may be, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase

Contract and the Purchase Contract Agreement and that all conditions to such Early Settlement or Fundamental Change Early Settlement, as the case may be, have been satisfied, then the Collateral Agent shall release from the Pledge, (a) the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures or the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio in the case of a Holder of Corporate Units or (b) Pledged Treasury Securities in the case of a Holder of Treasury Units, in each case that had been components of such Equity Unit, and shall transfer such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures or the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or Pledged Treasury Securities, as the case may be, free and clear of the Pledge created hereby, to the Purchase Contract Agent for the benefit of such Holder.

SECTION 4.6

Application of Proceeds Settlement

(a) In the event a Holder of Corporate Units, unless the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio has replaced the Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures, has not elected to make an effective Cash Settlement by notifying the Purchase Contract Agent in the manner provided for in Section 5.4(a)(i) of the Purchase Contract Agreement or has not made an Early Settlement or a Fundamental Change Early Settlement of the Purchase Contracts underlying its Corporate Units, such Holder shall be deemed to have consented to the disposition of the Debentures underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures pursuant to the Remarketing as described in Section 5.4(a) of the Purchase Contract Agreement in order to pay for the shares of Common Stock to be issued under such Purchase Contract. The Collateral Agent shall by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the sixth Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, without any instruction from such Holder of Corporate Units, present the related Debentures underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures to the Remarketing Agent for remarketing. Upon receiving such Debentures, the Remarketing Agent, pursuant to the terms of the Remarketing Agreement, will use its commercially reasonable efforts to remarket such Debentures underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures on such date at a price equal to or greater than 100% of the aggregate Value of such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures plus the applicable Remarketing Fee. The Remarketing Agent may deduct the Remarketing Fee from any portion of the proceeds from the Remarketing of the Debentures that is in excess of the sum of 100% of the aggregate Value of such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures and the aggregate Separate Debentures Purchase Price. Upon a Successful Remarketing and after deducting the Remarketing Fee from such Proceeds, the Remarketing Agent will remit the remaining portion of the Proceeds of a Successful Remarketing related to such Applicable Ownership Interest in Debentures to the Collateral Agent. On the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Collateral Agent shall apply that portion of the Proceeds from such Remarketing equal to the aggregate Value of the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures to satisfy in full the obligations of such Holders of Corporate Units to pay the Purchase Price for the Common Stock under the related Purchase Contracts. The remaining portion of such Proceeds, if any, shall be distributed by the Collateral Agent to the Purchase Contract Agent for payment to the Holders. If the Remarketing Agent advises the Collateral Agent in writing that it cannot remarket the related Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures of such Holders of Corporate Units at a price not less than 100% of the aggregate Value of such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures, or if the Remarketing does not occur because a condition precedent to such Remarketing has not

been fulfilled, thus resulting in a Failed Remarketing, the Collateral Agent will, for the benefit of the Company, at the written direction of the Company, retain or dispose of the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures in accordance with applicable law and satisfy in full, from any such disposition or retention, such Holder’s obligation to pay the Purchase Price for the Common Stock under the related Purchase Contracts.

(b) In the event a Holder of Treasury Units or, if the Treasury Portfolio has replaced the Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures as a component of Corporate Units, Corporate Units, has not made an Early Settlement or a Fundamental Change Early Settlement of the Purchase Contracts underlying its Treasury Units or Corporate Units, as the case may be, such Holder shall be deemed to have elected to pay for the shares of Common Stock to be issued under such Purchase Contracts from the Proceeds of the related Pledged Treasury Securities or the related Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be. On the Business Day immediately prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Collateral Agent shall, at the written direction of the Purchase Contract Agent, invest the cash Proceeds of the maturing Pledged Treasury Securities or the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, in Permitted Investments. Without receiving any instruction from any such Holder of Treasury Units or Corporate Units, the Collateral Agent shall apply the Proceeds of the related Pledged Treasury Securities or Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio to the settlement of the related Purchase Contracts on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. In the event the sum of the Proceeds from the related Pledged Treasury Securities or related Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio and the investment earnings from the investment in Permitted Investments is in excess of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchase Contracts being settled thereby on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Collateral Agent shall distribute such excess, when received, to the Purchase Contract Agent for the benefit of the Holders.

The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock in respect of the Purchase Contract(s) or deliver any certificate therefor to the Holder unless it shall have received payment in full of the Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock to be purchased thereunder.

(c) Pursuant to the Remarketing Agreement, on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately preceding the first Remarketing Date of the applicable Three-Day Remarketing Period, but no earlier than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth Business Day immediately preceding such first Remarketing Date of the applicable Three-Day Remarketing Period, holders of Separate Debentures may elect to have their Separate Debentures remarketed by delivering the Separate Debentures, together with a notice of such election, substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, to the Custodial Agent. The Custodial Agent will hold the Separate Debentures in an account separate from the Collateral Account. A holder of Separate Debentures electing to have its Separate Debentures remarketed will also have the right to withdraw such election by written notice to the Custodial Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately preceding the first Remarketing Date of the relevant Three-Day Remarketing Period, upon which notice the Custodial Agent shall return such Separate Debentures to such holder. After such time, such election to remarket shall become an irrevocable election to have such Separate Debentures remarketed in such

Remarketing. Promptly after 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the first Remarketing Date of the relevant Three-Day Remarketing Period, the Custodial Agent shall notify the Remarketing Agent of the aggregate principal amount of the Separate Debentures to be remarketed and shall deliver to the Remarketing Agent for Remarketing all Separate Debentures delivered to the Custodial Agent, and not withdrawn, pursuant to this Section 4.6(c) prior to such date. The portion of the proceeds from such remarketing equal to the aggregate Value of the Separate Debentures will automatically be remitted by the Remarketing Agent to the Custodial Agent for the benefit of the holders of the Separate Debentures.

(d) In addition, after deducting the Remarketing Fee from the Value of the remarketed Separate Debentures, from any amount of such proceeds in excess of the aggregate Value of the remarketed Separate Debentures, the Remarketing Agent will remit to the Custodial Agent the remaining portion of the proceeds, if any, for the benefit of such holders. If, despite using its commercially reasonable efforts, a remarketing attempt is unsuccessful on the first Remarketing Date of a Three-Day Remarketing Period, subsequent remarketings will be attempted on each of the two following Remarketing Dates in that Three-Day Remarketing Period until a Successful Remarketing occurs. If the Remarketing Agent advises the Custodial Agent in writing that none of the three remarketings occurring during a Three-Day Remarketing Period resulted in a Successful Remarketing or, if a condition to the Remarketing shall not have been fulfilled, thus in either case resulting in a Failed Remarketing, the Remarketing Agent will promptly return the Separate Debentures to the Custodial Agent for redelivery to such holders.

ARTICLE V.

VOTING RIGHTS — DEBENTURES

The Purchase Contract Agent may exercise, or refrain from exercising, any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Debentures underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Contract Agreement; provided, that the Purchase Contract Agent shall not exercise or, as the case may be, shall not refrain from exercising such right if, in the judgment of the Company evidenced in writing and delivered to the Purchase Contract Agent, such action would impair or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the value of all or any of the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures; and provided, further, that the Purchase Contract Agent shall give the Company and the Collateral Agent at least five days’ prior written notice of the manner in which it intends to exercise, or its reasons for refraining from exercising, any such right. Upon receipt of any notices and other communications in respect of any Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures, including notice of any meeting at which holders of Debentures are entitled to vote or solicitation of consents, waivers or proxies of holders of Debentures, the Collateral Agent shall use 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, execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent such proxies and other instruments in respect of such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures (in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent) as are prepared by the

Purchase Contract Agent with respect to the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures.

Rights and Remedies of the Collateral Agent

(a) In addition to the rights and remedies specified in Section 4.4 hereof or otherwise available at law or in equity, after a default hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect to the collateral of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (or any successor thereto) as in effect in the State of New York from time to time (the “UCC”) (whether or not the UCC is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted) and the TRADES Regulations and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted. Wherever reference is made in this Agreement to any Section of the UCC, such reference shall be deemed to include a reference to any provision of the UCC which is a successor to, or amendment of, such Section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such remedies may include, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) retention of the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures or other Collateral in full satisfaction of the Holders’ obligations under the Purchase Contracts or (ii) sale of the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures or other Collateral in one or more public or private sales and application of the Proceeds in full satisfaction of the Holders’ obligations under the Purchase Contracts.

(b) Without limiting any rights or powers otherwise granted by this Agreement to the Collateral Agent, in the event the Collateral Agent is unable to make payments to the Company on account of the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of the definition of the term “Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio”) or on account of principal payments of any Pledged Treasury Securities as provided in Article III hereof in satisfaction of the obligations of the Holder of the Equity Units of which such Pledged Treasury Securities, or the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of the term “Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio”), as applicable, is a part under the related Purchase Contracts, the inability to make such payments shall constitute a default under the related Purchase Contracts and the Collateral Agent shall have and may exercise, with reference to such Pledged Treasury Securities, or such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of the definition of the term “Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio”), as applicable, and such obligations of such Holder, any and all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC and the TRADES Regulations after default by a debtor, and as otherwise granted herein or under any other law.

(c) Without limiting any rights or powers otherwise granted by this Agreement to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to receive and collect all payments of (i) principal of, or interest on, the Debentures underlying the Pledged Applicable

Ownership Interests in Debentures, (ii) the principal amount of the Pledged Treasury Securities, or (iii) the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, subject, in each case, to the provisions of Article III, and as otherwise provided herein.

(d) The Purchase Contract Agent individually and as attorney-in-fact for each Holder of Equity Units agrees that, from time to time, upon the written request of the Collateral Agent, the Purchase Contract Agent or such Holder it shall execute and deliver such further documents and do such other acts and things as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to maintain the Pledge, and the perfection and priority thereof, and to confirm the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder. The Purchase Contract Agent shall have no liability to any Holder for executing any documents or taking any such acts requested by the Collateral Agent hereunder, except for liability for its own negligent act, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct.

SECTION 6.2

Special Event Redemption; Mandatory Redemption; Remarketing

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Special Event Redemption or a Mandatory Redemption prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Collateral Agent will, upon the written instruction of the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent, deliver the Debentures underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures to the Indenture Trustee for payment of the Redemption Price. The Collateral Agent shall, or in the event the Debentures underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures are registered in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent, the Purchase Contract Agent shall, direct the Indenture Trustee to pay the Redemption Price therefor payable on the Special Event Redemption Date or the Mandatory Redemption Date, as the case may be, on or prior to 12:30 p.m., New York City time, by check or wire transfer in immediately available funds at such place and to such account as may be designated by the Collateral Agent. In the event the Collateral Agent receives such Redemption Price, subject to the provisions of Section 4.3, the Collateral Agent will, at the written direction of the Company, apply an amount equal to the Redemption Amount of such Redemption Price to purchase from the Quotation Agent, the Treasury Portfolio and promptly remit the remaining portion of such Redemption Price to the Purchase Contract Agent for payment to the Holders of Corporate Units. The Collateral Agent shall Transfer the Treasury Portfolio to the Collateral Account to secure the obligation of all Holders of Corporate Units to purchase Common Stock of the Company under the Purchase Contracts constituting a part of such Corporate Units, in substitution for the Debentures underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures. Thereafter the Collateral Agent shall have such security interests, rights and obligations with respect to the Treasury Portfolio as it had in respect of the Debentures underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures, as provided in Articles II, III, IV, V and VI, and any reference herein to the Debentures underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures shall be deemed to be a reference to the Treasury Portfolio.

(b) Upon a Successful Remarketing during the Period for Early Remarketing, the proceeds of such Remarketing with respect to the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures (after deducting the applicable Remarketing Fee, if any) shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent in exchange for the Debentures underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures. Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent will apply an amount equal to the Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price to purchase on behalf of the Holders of

Corporate Units the Treasury Portfolio and promptly remit the remaining portion, if any, of such proceeds to the Purchase Contract Agent for payment to the Holders of such Corporate Units. The Treasury Portfolio will be substituted for the Debentures underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures, and will be held by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to secure the obligation of each Holder of a Corporate Unit to purchase the Common Stock on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date under the Purchase Contract constituting a part of such Corporate Unit. Following a Successful Remarketing during the Period for Early Remarketing, the Holders of Corporate Units and the Collateral Agent shall have such security interests, rights and obligations with respect to the Treasury Portfolio as the Holders of Corporate Units and the Collateral Agent had in respect of the Debentures underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures subject to the Pledge thereof as provided in Articles II, III, IV, V and VI of this Agreement, and any reference herein to the Debentures underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures shall be deemed to be reference to the Treasury Portfolio.

SECTION 6.3

Remarketing During the Period for Early Remarketing

The Collateral Agent shall, by 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the first Remarketing Date of the applicable Three-Day Remarketing Period selected by FPL Group Capital pursuant to the Officer’s Certificate, without any instruction from any Holder of Corporate Units, present the Debentures underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures to the Remarketing Agent for remarketing. Upon receiving such Debentures, the Remarketing Agent, pursuant to the terms of the Remarketing Agreement and the Supplemental Remarketing Agreement, will use its commercially reasonable efforts to remarket such Debentures, during the Three-Day Remarketing Period, at a price not less than 100% of the Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price plus the applicable Remarketing Fee. If a Remarketing on the first Remarketing Date during the applicable Three-Day Remarketing Period is not successful, the Remarketing Agent shall, in accordance with the Remarketing Agreement, remarket the Debentures on each of the next two succeeding Remarketing Dates during such Three-Day Remarketing Period until a Successful Remarketing occurs. The Remarketing Agent may deduct the Remarketing Fee from any amount of Proceeds from such Remarketing in excess of sum of the Remarketing Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price, plus the Separate Debentures Purchase Price. After deducting the Remarketing Fee, if any, the Remarketing Agent will remit the entire amount of the Proceeds of such remarketing to the Collateral Agent on or prior to 12:00 p.m., New York City time on the Reset Effective Date. In the event the Collateral Agent receives such Proceeds with respect to the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures, the Collateral Agent will, at the written direction of the Company, apply an amount equal to the Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price to purchase from the Quotation Agent the Treasury Portfolio and remit the remaining portion of such Proceeds, if any, to the Purchase Contract Agent for payment to the Holders of Corporate Units. The Collateral Agent shall Transfer the Treasury Portfolio to the Collateral Account to secure the obligation of all Holders of Corporate Units to purchase Common Stock of the Company under the Purchase Contracts constituting a part of such Corporate Units, in substitution for the Debentures underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures. Thereafter the Collateral Agent shall have such security interests, rights and obligations with respect to the Treasury Portfolio as it had in respect of the Debentures underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures as provided in Articles II, III, IV, V and VI, and any reference herein to

the Debentures underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures shall be deemed to be a reference to such Treasury Portfolio, and any reference herein to interest on the Debentures underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures shall be deemed to be a reference to distributions on such Treasury Portfolio.

ARTICLE VII.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; COVENANTS

SECTION 7.1

Representations and Warranties

The Holders from time to time, acting through the Purchase Contract Agent as their attorney-in-fact (it being understood that the Purchase Contract Agent shall not be liable for any representation or warranty made by or on behalf of a Holder), hereby represent and warrant to the Collateral Agent, which representations and warranties shall be deemed repeated on each day a Holder Transfers Collateral that:

(a) such Holder has the power to grant a security interest in and lien on the Collateral;

(b) such Holder is the sole beneficial owner of the Collateral and, in the case of Collateral delivered in physical form, is the sole holder of such Collateral and is the sole beneficial owner of, or has the right to Transfer, the Collateral it Transfers to the Collateral Agent, free and clear of any security interest, lien, encumbrance, call, liability to pay money or other restriction other than the security interest and lien granted under Article II hereof;

(c) upon the Transfer of the Collateral to the Collateral Account or physical delivery of the Debentures to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Company, will have a valid and perfected first priority security interest therein (assuming that any central clearing operation or any Intermediary or other entity not within the control of the Holder involved in the Transfer of the Collateral, including the Collateral Agent, gives the notices and takes the action required of it hereunder and under applicable law for perfection of that interest and assuming the establishment and exercise of control pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof); and

(d) the execution and performance by the Holder of its obligations under this Agreement will not result in the creation of any security interest, lien or other encumbrance on the Collateral other than the security interest and lien granted under Article II hereof or violate any provision of any existing law or regulation applicable to it or of any mortgage, charge, pledge, indenture, contract or undertaking to which it is a party or which is binding on it or any of its assets.

SECTION 7.2

Covenants

The Holders from time to time, acting through the Purchase Contract Agent as their attorney-in-fact (it being understood that the Purchase Contract Agent shall not be liable for any covenant made by or on behalf of a Holder), hereby covenant to the Collateral Agent that for so long as the Collateral remains subject to the Pledge:

(a) neither the Purchase Contract Agent nor such Holders will create or purport to create or allow to subsist any mortgage, charge, lien, pledge or any other security interest whatsoever over the Collateral or any part of it other than pursuant to this Agreement; and

(b) neither the Purchase Contract Agent nor such Holders will sell or otherwise dispose (or attempt to dispose) of the Collateral or any part of it except for the beneficial interest therein, subject to the pledge hereunder, transferred in connection with the Transfer of the Equity Units.

ARTICLE VIII.

THE COLLATERAL AGENT

It is hereby agreed as follows:

SECTION 8.1

Appointment, Powers and Immunities

The Collateral Agent shall act as agent for the Company hereunder with such powers as are specifically vested in the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary: (a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth or incorporated in this Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations shall be inferred from this Agreement against any of them, nor shall any of them be bound by the provisions of any agreement by any party hereto beyond the specific or incorporated terms hereof; (b) shall not be responsible for any recitals contained in this Agreement, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by it under, this Agreement, the Equity Units or the Purchase Contract Agreement (except as specifically incorporated by reference herein), or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement (other than as against the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary), the Equity Units or the Purchase Contract Agreement or any other document referred to or provided for herein (except as specifically incorporated by reference herein) or therein or for any failure by the Company or any other Person (except the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be) to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or for the perfection, priority or, except as expressly required hereby, maintenance of any security interest created hereunder; (c) shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder (except in the case of the Collateral Agent, pursuant to directions furnished under Section 8.2 hereof, subject to Section 8.6 hereof); (d) shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own negligence or

willful misconduct; and (e) shall not be required to advise any party as to selling or retaining, or taking or refraining from taking any action with respect to, the Equity Units or other property deposited hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof. Subject to the foregoing, during the term of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall take all reasonable action in connection with the safekeeping and preservation of the Collateral hereunder.

No provision of this Agreement shall require the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder. In no event shall the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary be liable for any amount in excess of the Value of the Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and Securities Intermediary, each in its individual capacity, hereby waive any right of setoff, banker’s lien, liens or perfection rights as Securities Intermediary or any counterclaim with respect to any of the Collateral.

SECTION 8.2

Instructions of the Company

The Company shall have the right, by one or more instruments in writing executed and delivered to the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for the realization of any right or remedy available to the Collateral Agent, or of exercising any power conferred on the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, or to direct the taking or refraining from taking of any action authorized by this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) such direction shall not conflict with the provisions of any law or of this Agreement and (ii) the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall be adequately indemnified as provided herein. Nothing in this Section 8.2 shall impair the right of the Collateral Agent in its discretion to take any action or omit to take any action which it deems proper and which is not inconsistent with such direction. The Company shall promptly confirm in writing any oral instructions furnished to the Collateral Agent by the Company.

SECTION 8.3

Reliance

Each of the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled conclusively to rely upon any certification, order, judgment, opinion, notice or other communication (including, without limitation, any thereof by telephone, telecopy or facsimile) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons (without being required to determine the correctness of any fact stated therein), and upon advice and statements of legal counsel and other experts selected by the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Company in accordance with this Agreement.

SECTION 8.4

Rights in Other Capacities

The Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary and their affiliates may (without having to account therefor to the Company) accept deposits from, lend money to, make their investments in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Purchase Contract Agent and any Holder of Equity Units (and any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates) as if it were not acting as the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, and the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary and their affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from the Purchase Contract Agent and any Holder of Equity Units without having to account for the same to the Company; provided that each of the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent and the Collateral Agent covenants and agrees with the Company that it shall not accept, receive or permit there to be created in favor of itself and shall take no affirmative action to permit there to be created in favor of any other Person, any security interest, lien or other encumbrance of any kind in or upon the Collateral.

SECTION 8.5

Non-Reliance

None of the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Purchase Contract Agent or any Holder of Equity Units of this Agreement, the Purchase Contract Agreement, the Equity Units or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of the Purchase Contract Agent or any Holder of Equity Units. The Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall not 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 of Equity Units (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.

SECTION 8.6

Compensation and Indemnity

The Company agrees:

(a) to pay each of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary from time to time such 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 each of them hereunder; and

(b) to indemnify the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary and each of their respective directors, officers, agents and employees for, and to hold each of them harmless from and against, any loss, all claims (whether asserted by the Company, a Holder or any other Person) and liabilities and reasonable out-of-pocket expense incurred without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its powers and duties under this Agreement, including the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of such powers and duties.

The Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall each promptly notify the Company of any third party claim which may give rise to indemnity hereunder and give the Company the opportunity to participate in the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and no such claim shall be settled without the written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Without prejudice to its rights hereunder, when any of the Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary incurs expenses after a Termination Event occurs, or renders services after a Termination Event occurs, such expenses and compensation are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.

SECTION 8.7

Failure to Act

In the event of any ambiguity in the provisions of this Agreement or any dispute between or conflicting claims by or among the parties hereto or any other Person with respect to any funds or property deposited hereunder, the Collateral Agent and the Custodial Agent shall be entitled, after prompt notice to the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent, at its sole option, 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 neither the Collateral Agent nor the Custodial Agent shall 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 and the Custodial Agent shall be entitled to refuse to act until either (i) 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 or the Custodial Agent, as the case may be, or (ii) the Collateral Agent or the Custodial Agent, as the case may be, shall have received security or an indemnity satisfactory to the Collateral Agent or the Custodial Agent, as the case may be, sufficient to save the Collateral Agent or the Custodial Agent, as the case may be, harmless from and against any and all loss, liability or reasonable out-of-pocket expense which the Collateral Agent or the Custodial Agent, as the case may be, may without negligence, willful misconduct, or bad faith on its part incur by reason of its acting. The Collateral Agent or the Custodial Agent may in addition elect to commence an interpleader action or seek other judicial relief or orders as the Collateral Agent or the Custodial Agent, as the case may be, may deem necessary. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Collateral Agent nor the Custodial Agent shall be required to take any action that is in its opinion contrary to law or to the terms of this Agreement, or which would in its opinion subject it or any of its officers, employees or directors to liability.

SECTION 8.8

Resignation of Collateral Agent

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Collateral Agent or Custodial Agent as provided below, (a) the Collateral Agent and the Custodial Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent as attorney-in-fact for the Holders of Equity Units, (b) the Collateral Agent and the Custodial Agent may be removed at any time by the Company and (c) if the Collateral Agent or the Custodial Agent 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 or the Custodial Agent may be removed by the Purchase Contract Agent. The Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly notify the Company of any removal of the Collateral Agent pursuant to clause (c) of the immediately preceding sentence. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Company shall have the right to appoint a successor Collateral Agent or Custodial Agent, as the case may be. If no successor Collateral Agent or Custodial Agent, as the case may be, shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Collateral Agent’s or Custodial Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or such removal, then the retiring Collateral Agent or Custodial Agent, as the case may be, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent or Custodial Agent, as the case may be. Each of the Collateral Agent and the Custodial Agent shall be a bank which has an office in New York, New York with a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent or Custodial Agent, as the case may be, hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent or Custodial Agent, as the case may be, such successor shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent or Custodial Agent, as the case may be, and the retiring Collateral Agent or Custodial Agent, as the case may be, shall take all appropriate action to transfer any money and property held by it hereunder (including the Collateral) to such successor. The retiring Collateral Agent or Custodial Agent shall, upon such succession, be discharged from its duties and obligations as Collateral Agent or Custodial Agent hereunder. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s or Custodial Agent’s resignation hereunder as Collateral Agent or Custodial Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII 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 or Custodial Agent. Any resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement as the simultaneous resignation or removal of the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary.

SECTION 8.9

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 8.9 shall be subject to prior consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

SECTION 8.10

Survival

The provisions of this Article VIII and Section 10.7 shall survive termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary.

SECTION 8.11

Exculpation

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall any of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary or their officers, employees or agents be liable under this Agreement to any third party for indirect, special, punitive, or

consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, including lost profits, whether or not the likelihood of such loss or damage was known to the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, or any of them, incurred without any act or deed that is found to be attributable to negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary.

ARTICLE IX.

AMENDMENT

SECTION 9.1

Amendment Without Consent of Holders

Without the consent of any Holders, the Company, the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Purchase Contract Agent, at any time and from time to time, may amend this Agreement, in form satisfactory to the Company, the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Purchase Contract Agent, for any of the following purposes:

(a) to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company, and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company;

(c) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent, Securities Intermediary or Purchase Contract Agent; or

(d) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions herein, or to make any other provisions with respect to such matters or questions arising under this Agreement, provided such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders in any material respect, provided further that any amendment made solely to conform the provisions of this Agreement to the description of the Equity Units, the Purchase Contracts and the other components of the Equity Units contained in the prospectus supplement, dated May 20, 2009, relating to the Equity Units will not be deemed to adversely affect the interests of the Holders.

SECTION 9.2

Amendment with Consent of Holders

With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the outstanding Purchase Contracts voting together as one class, by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company, the Purchase Contract Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, the Company, the Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary may amend this Agreement for the purpose of modifying in any manner the provisions of this Agreement or the rights of the Holders in respect of the Equity Units; provided, however, that no

such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Equity Unit adversely affected thereby,

(a) change the amount or the type of Collateral required to be Pledged to secure a Holder’s Obligations under the Purchase Contracts (except for the rights of Holders of Corporate Units to substitute the Treasury Securities for the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Debentures or the Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio or the rights of Holders of Treasury Units to substitute Debentures or the Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio for the Pledged Treasury Securities);

(b) unless such change is not adverse to the Holders, impair the right of the Holder of any Equity Unit to receive distributions on the related Collateral or otherwise adversely affect the Holder’s rights in or to such Collateral;

(c) otherwise effect any action that would require the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Equity Unit affected thereby pursuant to the Purchase Contract Agreement if such action were effected by an agreement supplemental thereto; or

(d) reduce the percentage of the outstanding Purchase Contracts the consent of whose Holders is required for any such amendment;

provided, that if any such supplemental amendment referred to above would adversely affect only the Corporate Units or the Treasury Units, then only Holders of the affected class of Equity Units as of the record date for the Holders entitled to vote thereon will be entitled to vote on or consent to such amendment or proposal, and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with the consent of Holders of not less than a majority of such class.

It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

SECTION 9.3

Execution of Amendments

In executing any amendment permitted by this Article IX, the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Purchase Contract Agent shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 6.1 hereof, with respect to the Collateral Agent, and Section 7.1 of the Purchase Contract Agreement, with respect to the Purchase Contract Agent) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that all conditions precedent, if any, to the execution and delivery of such amendment have been satisfied.

SECTION 9.4

Effect of Amendments

Upon the execution of any amendment under this Article IX, this Agreement shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such amendment shall form a part of this Agreement for all purposes; and every Holder of Equity Units theretofore or thereafter authenticated, executed on behalf of the Holders and delivered under the Purchase Contract Agreement shall be bound thereby.

Certificates authenticated, executed on behalf of the Holders and delivered after the execution of any amendment pursuant to this Article IX may, and shall if required by the Collateral Agent or the Purchase Contract Agent, bear a notation in form approved by the Purchase Contract Agent and the Collateral Agent as to any matter provided for in such amendment. If the Company shall so determine, Certificates so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, the Purchase Contract Agent and the Company, to any such amendment may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated, executed on behalf of the Holders and delivered by the Purchase Contract Agent in accordance with the Purchase Contract Agreement in exchange for outstanding Certificates.

No Waiver

No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent or any of its 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 Collateral Agent or any of its 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.
