ARTICLE IV
CERTAIN COVENANTS OF PLEDGOR
Section 4.1 Certain Covenants of Pledgor. Pledgor agrees that, so long as any of its
obligations under the Contract remain outstanding:
(a) Title to Collateral. Pledgor shall at all times hereafter have and
maintain good and marketable title to the Collateral pledged by it, free of all Liens (other
than the Lien created by this Agreement) and Transfer Restrictions, and, subject to the
terms of this Agreement, will at all times hereafter have and maintain good, right and
lawful authority to assign, transfer and pledge such Collateral and all such additions to
such Collateral and substitutions for such Collateral under this Agreement.
(b) Pledge Value Requirement. Pledgor shall cause the aggregate Pledge Value
of the Collateral to be equal to or greater than the Pledge Value Requirement at all times,
and shall pledge additional Collateral in the manner described in Section 5.4 as necessary
to cause such requirement to be met.
(c) Pledge Upon Reorganization Event. Upon the occurrence of a Reorganization
Event, Pledgor shall immediately cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, in the
manner provided in Section 5.4: (i) cash or the Merger Consideration other than Marketable
Securities delivered in the related Reorganization Event in an amount equal to 100% of
Pledgor’s Cash Delivery Obligations (or U.S. Government Securities having an aggregate
Market Value when pledged and at daily xxxx-to-market valuations thereafter at least equal
to 105% of the Cash Delivery Obligations); and (ii) Marketable Securities in an amount at
least equal to the Maximum Deliverable Number of such securities, or, at Pledgor’s election,
U.S. Government Securities having an aggregate Market Value when pledged and at daily
market-to-market valuations thereafter at least equal to 150% of such Maximum Deliverable
Number of Marketable Securities, in each case to be held as substitute Collateral hereunder.
If a Spin-Off Distribution occurs and thereafter any transaction with respect to the issuer
of the spun-off Marketable Securities that would have been a Reorganization Event if it had
occurred with respect to the Company occurs, then this subsection applies as if that issuer
of Marketable Securities were the Company and such spun-off Marketable Securities were the
Common Stock.
8
(d) Pledge Upon Spin-Off Distribution. Upon the occurrence of a Spin-Off
Distribution, Pledgor shall immediately cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, in
the manner provided in Section 5.4, Marketable Securities in an amount at least equal to the
Maximum Deliverable Number of such securities, or, at Pledgor’s election, U.S. Government
Securities having an aggregate Market Value at least equal to 150% of such Maximum
Deliverable Number of Marketable Securities, in each case to be held as additional
Collateral hereunder.
(e) Pledge of Contract Consideration. Notwithstanding Pledgor’s right to
substitute Collateral pursuant to Section 5.2, Pledgor shall cause the Collateral to
include, on the Exchange Date, (i) unless a Reorganization Event shall have occurred, a
number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to the number of shares of Common Stock
(and, if a Spin-Off Distribution has occurred, the number of Marketable Securities
distributed in such Spin-Off Distribution) required to be delivered under the Contract on
the Exchange Date, and (ii) if a Reorganization Event has occurred, any Marketable
Securities or other property required to be delivered under the Contract on the Exchange
Date.
(f) Pledge Upon Collateral Event of Default After Dilution Adjustment. If a
Dilution Adjustment is effected pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Contract and a Collateral
Event of Default occurs, to the extent not already in the possession of the Collateral
Agent, the Pledgor shall immediately cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, in the
manner provided in Section 5.4, any and all property distributed by the Company that
resulted in such Dilution Adjustment, in each case to be held as additional Collateral
hereunder.
(g) Further Assurances. Pledgor shall, at its expense and in such manner and
form as Purchaser or the Collateral Agent may reasonably require, give, execute, deliver,
file and record any financing statement, notice, instrument, document, agreement or other
papers that may be necessary or desirable in order to create, preserve, perfect,
substantiate or validate any security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement or to
enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and the rights of Purchaser
hereunder with respect to such security interest. To the extent permitted by applicable
law, Pledgor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to execute and file, in the name of
Pledgor or otherwise, UCC financing or continuation statements (which may be carbon,
photographic, photostatic or other reproductions of this Agreement or of a financing
statement relating to this Agreement) which the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem
necessary or appropriate to further perfect, or maintain the perfection of, the security
interests granted hereby.
(h) Certain Notices. Pledgor agrees, reasonably promptly in advance of the
consummation of a Reorganization Event, Spin-Off Distribution or event or occurrence giving
rise to a Dilution Adjustment of which Pledgor is aware, to provide to the Collateral Agent
notice thereof in reasonable detail.

ARTICLE V
ADMINISTRATION OF THE COLLATERAL AND
VALUATION OF THE SECURITIES
Section 5.1
Valuation of Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall determine as of 4:00
p.m.,
New York City time, on each Business Day whether the Pledge Value is at least equal to the
Pledge Value Requirement and whether an Insufficiency Determination or Collateral Event of Default
shall have occurred and, from and after any Reorganization Event, Spin-Off Distribution, event or
occurrence giving rise to a Dilution Adjustment of substitution of U.S. Government Securities for
pledged shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities pursuant to Section 5.2, shall determine
the Pledge Value and the Pledge Value Requirement on each Business Day and shall provide written
notice of the Pledge Value and the Pledge Value Requirement, in the form of
Exhibit A, to
Pledgor.
Section 5.2 Substitution of Collateral. Pledgor may substitute Collateral in
accordance with the following provisions:
(a) Unless an Event of Default or a failure by Pledgor to meet any of its obligations
under Article IV or V has occurred and is continuing, Pledgor shall have the right at any
time and from time to time to deposit Eligible Collateral with the Collateral Agent in
substitution for Pledged Items previously deposited hereunder (“Prior Collateral”)
and to obtain the release of such Prior Collateral from the Lien created by this Agreement.
(b) If Pledgor wishes to deposit Eligible Collateral with the Collateral Agent in
substitution for Prior Collateral, it shall (i) give written notice from an Authorized
Representative to the Collateral Agent identifying the Prior Collateral to be released from
the Lien created by this Agreement, (ii) deliver to the Collateral Agent concurrently with
such Eligible Collateral a certificate of Pledgor substantially in the form of Exhibit
B and dated the date of such delivery, (A) identifying the items of Eligible Collateral
being substituted for the Prior Collateral and the Prior Collateral that is to be
transferred to Pledgor and (B) certifying that with respect to such items of additional
Pledged Collateral the representations and warranties contained in Exhibit B are
true and correct on and as of the date of such certificate, and (iii) deliver to the
Collateral Agent concurrently with such Eligible Collateral an opinion, dated the date of
such delivery, of counsel addressed to the Collateral Agent confirming the representations
contained in the first sentence of paragraph 3(a) of Exhibit B insofar as it relates
to securities laws and in the second sentence of paragraph 3(b) of Exhibit B.
Pledgor hereby covenants and agrees to pay all fees, taxes and expenses related to the
substitution of the Collateral and take all actions required under Section 5.4 and any other
actions necessary to create for the benefit of the Collateral Agent a valid, first priority
perfected security interest in, and a first lien upon, such Eligible Collateral deposited
with the Collateral Agent in substitution for Prior Collateral.
(c) No such substitution shall be made unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have
determined that the aggregate Pledge Value of all of the Collateral at the time
of such proposed substitution, after giving effect to the proposed substitution, shall
at least equal the Pledge Value Requirement.
10
Section 5.3 Additional Collateral. Pledgor may pledge additional Collateral hereunder
at any time and shall pledge additional collateral when required under this Agreement.
Concurrently with the delivery of any additional Eligible Collateral, Pledgor shall deliver (i) a
certificate of Pledgor substantially in the form of Exhibit C, signed by an Authorized
Representative, and dated the date of such delivery, (A) identifying the items of additional
Eligible Collateral being pledged and (B) certifying that with respect to such items of additional
Pledged Collateral the representations and warranties contained in Exhibit C are true and
correct on and as of the date of such certificate, and (ii) an opinion, dated the date of such
delivery, of counsel addressed to the Collateral Agent confirming the representations contained in
the first sentence of paragraph 2(a) of Exhibit C insofar as it relates to securities laws
and in the second sentence of paragraph 2(b) of Exhibit C. Pledgor hereby covenants and
agrees to take all actions required under Section 5.4 and any other actions necessary to create for
the benefit of the Collateral Agent a valid, first priority perfected security interest in, and a
first lien upon, such additional Eligible Collateral.
Section 5.4 Delivery of Collateral. Pledgor shall deliver the Collateral to the
Collateral Agent in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) Pledged U.S. Government Securities. In the case of Collateral consisting
of U.S. Government Securities, by transfer of such U.S. Government Securities through the
Book Entry System of the Federal Reserve System to the account of the Collateral Agent or to
an account (other than an account of Pledgor) designated by the Collateral Agent; and
(b) Pledged Marketable Securities or Class B Common Stock. In the case of
Collateral consisting of Marketable Securities or Class B Common Stock, by either (1)
delivery of certificates evidencing such securities, registered in the name of the
Collateral Agent or its nominee or duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by stock powers
duly executed in blank, or (2) if such securities are not held in certificated form but are
held in book-entry form by The Depository Trust Company or any other comparable depositary,
by transfer to an account of the Collateral Agent or to an account (other than an account of
Pledgor) designated by the Collateral Agent or to an account (other than an account of
Pledgor) designated by the Collateral Agent with The Depository Trust Company or such other
depositary, as applicable. Each such delivery of Marketable Securities or Class B Common
Stock shall be accompanied by an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Collateral Agent
that the Collateral Agent has obtained a valid, first priority perfected security interest
in, and a first lien upon, such securities.
(c) Delivery of Other Property. In the case of Collateral consisting of
property other than Common Stock, U.S. Government Securities or Marketable Securities, by
any and all action necessary for the Collateral Agent to obtain a valid, first priority
perfected security interest in, and a first lien upon, such property. Each such delivery of
such property shall be accompanied by an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent that the Collateral Agent has obtained a valid, first priority perfected
security interest in, and a first lien upon, such property. For the avoidance of
doubt, no such other property shall constitute Eligible Collateral.
11
Upon delivery of any Pledged Item under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall examine
such Pledged Item and any opinions and certificates and other instruments delivered pursuant to
Sections 5.2 or 5.3, this Section 5.4 or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in
connection therewith to determine that they comply as to from with the requirements for Eligible
Collateral. Pledgor hereby designates the Collateral Agent as the Person in whose name any
Collateral held in book-entry form in the Federal Reserve System shall be registered.
Section 5.5 Insufficiency Determination.
(a) If as of 4:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on any Business Day the Collateral Agent
determines that the aggregate Pledge Value of the Collateral is less than the Pledge Value
Requirement (any such determination, an “
Insufficiency Determination”), the
Collateral Agent shall promptly notify Pledgor of such determination by telephone call to an
Authorized Representative of Pledgor followed by a written confirmation of such call.
(b) If, by 4:00 p.m.,
New York City time on the fifth Business Day following the day on
which written notice shall have been given pursuant to the preceding paragraph 5.5(a),
Pledgor shall have failed to deliver, in the manner set forth in Sections 5.3 and 5.4,
sufficient additional Eligible Collateral so that, after giving effect to such delivery, the
aggregate Pledge Value of the Collateral, as of 4:00 p.m.,
New York City time on the fifth
Business Day, is at least equal to the Pledge Value Requirement, then (x) the Collateral
Requirement with respect to any U.S. Government Securities pledged hereunder (other than in
respect of Cash Delivery Obligations) shall be increased from 150% to 200%, and (y) unless a
Collateral Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent
shall:
(i) commence sales, in the matter described in Section 5.5(c), of such portion
of the Collateral consisting of U.S. Government Securities as may be required to be
sold in order to generate proceeds sufficient to purchase shares of Common Stock or,
after a Reorganization Event or Spin-Off Distribution, Marketable Securities of the
applicable type as described in the following clause (ii); and
(ii) commence purchases, in the matter described in Section 5.5(c), of shares
of Common Stock or, after a Reorganization Event or Spin-Off Distribution,
Marketable Securities of the applicable type, in an amount sufficient to cause the
aggregate Pledge Value of the Collateral to be at least equal to the Pledge Value
Requirement.
12
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall discontinue sales and purchases
pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), respectively, if at any time a Collateral Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The Collateral Agent shall determine
the Market Value and the Pledge Value of the Collateral after each purchase of shares of
Common Stock or Marketable Securities pursuant to the preceding clause (ii) in order to determine
whether the Pledge Value Requirement is met and whether a Collateral Event of Default has occurred.
Solely for purposes of such calculation, the Market Value of the shares of Common Stock or
Marketable Securities shall be: (A) the most recent sales price as reported in the composite
transactions for the principal securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock or
Marketable Securities, as the case may be, are then listed or, if such securities are not so
listed, the last quoted ask price for such securities as reported by Pink OTC Markets Inc. or a
similar organization; or (B) if higher, in the case of Common Stock, the most recent available
Closing Price.
(c) Collateral sold and shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities purchased by
the Collateral Agent pursuant to the preceding Sections 5.5(a) and (b) may be sold and
purchased on any securities exchange or in any over-the-counter market or in any private
purchase transaction, and at such price or prices, in each case as the Collateral Agent may
deem satisfactory. Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will execute and deliver such
documents, pay all fees and transfer taxes and take such other action as the Collateral
Agent deems necessary or advisable in order that any such sales and purchases may be made in
compliance with law.
Section 5.6 Release of Excess Collateral. (a) If on any Business Day the Collateral
Agent determines that the aggregate Pledge Value of Pledgor’s Eligible Collateral exceeds the
Pledge Value Requirement and no Event of Default or failure by Pledgor to meet any of its
obligations under Articles IV or V has occurred and is continuing, Pledgor may obtain the release
from the Lien created by this Agreement of any Collateral having an aggregate Pledge Value on such
Business Day less than or equal to such excess, upon delivery to the Collateral Agent of a written
notice from an Authorized Representative of Pledgor indicating the items of Collateral to be
released. Such Collateral shall be released only after the Collateral Agent shall have determined
that the aggregate Pledge Value of all of the Collateral remaining after such release as determined
on such Business Day is at least equal to the Pledge Value Requirement.
(b) If directed by the Trust upon Pledgor’s transfer of Securities to the Trust, free
and clear of any Liens and Transfer Restrictions, for cancellation pursuant to Section
2.3(e) of the Contract, the Collateral Agent shall release to the Pledgor the Collateral
associated with the cancelled Securities and thereafter the Maximum Deliverable Number
hereunder shall be adjusted accordingly.
Section 5.7 Delivery of Contract Consideration. On the Exchange Date, unless (i) a
Reorganization Event shall have occurred prior to the Exchange Date or (ii) if permitted under the
Contract, Pledgor shall have elected the Cash Settlement Alternative pursuant to Section 2.3(d) of
the Contract and made the cash payment required by that Section, the Collateral Agent shall deliver
to Purchaser from the shares of Common Stock and, if a Spin-Off Distribution has occurred,
Marketable Securities then held by it hereunder representing the number of shares of Common Stock
and Marketable Securities that were distributed in such Spin-Off Distribution then required to be
delivered by Pledgor under the Contract. If a Reorganization Event shall have occurred prior to
the Exchange Date, then (A) if so instructed by Pledgor by the close of business on the Business
Day preceding the Exchange Date, the
13
Collateral Agent shall deliver to Purchaser, to the extent Marketable Securities are to be
delivered on such date under Section 6.2 of the Contract, the Marketable Securities then held by
the Collateral Agent hereunder; and (B) if such Reorganization Event is a Cash Merger, the
Collateral Agent shall deliver to Purchaser all cash or other assets then held by the Collateral
Agent and required to be delivered under the Contract at the time when such delivery is required to
be made under the Contract. Upon such delivery, Purchaser shall hold such shares of Common Stock
or Marketable Securities, cash or other property, as the case may be, absolutely and free from any
claim or right whatsoever.
Section 5.8 Investment of Cash Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall invest any cash
received by it pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Contract (other than cash that is delivered to the
Purchaser as part of the Accelerated Portion in the event of a Cash Merger) in U.S. Government
Securities maturing before December 31, 2013 as directed by the Managing Trustee.
Section 5.9 Limitations on Further Pledge of Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall
not rehypothecate, pledge or otherwise transfer any of the Collateral except as expressly provided
in this Agreement.
ARTICLE VI
INCOME AND VOTING RIGHTS ON COLLATERAL
Section 6.1 Income on Collateral. Unless an Event of Default or failure by Pledgor to
meet any of its obligations under Article IV or V has occurred and is continuing, Pledgor shall be
entitled to receive for its own account all dividends, interest and, if any, principal and premium
relating to all of the Collateral if permitted and in accordance with the requirements of Section
5.6. The Collateral Agent agrees to remit to Pledgor on the Business Day received or the first
Business Day thereafter all such payments received by it. If an Event of Default or failure by
Pledgor to meet any of its obligations under Article IV or V has occurred and is continuing, all
such payments made or accrued after and during the continuance of such default or failure shall be
retained by the Collateral Agent, and any such payments which are received by Pledgor shall be
received in trust for the benefit of Purchaser, shall be segregated from other funds of Pledgor and
shall forthwith be paid over to the Collateral Agent. Any such payments so retained by, or paid
over to, the Collateral Agent shall be held by the Collateral Agent as Collateral hereunder.
Section 6.2 Voting of Collateral. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Pledgor shall have the right, from time to time, to vote and to give consents,
ratifications and waivers with respect to the Collateral, and the Collateral Agent shall deliver to
Pledgor or as specified in such request such proxies, powers of attorney, consents, ratifications
and waivers in respect of any of the Collateral which is registered in the name of the Collateral
Agent or its nominee as shall be specified in such request and be in form and substance
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to the extent permitted by law, and Pledgor
shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to give effect to such right, to vote
and to give consents, ratifications and waivers, and take any other action with respect to any or
all of the Collateral with the same force and effect as if the Collateral Agent were the
absolute and sole owner of the Collateral and, in such event, shall take any such actions in
accordance with written instructions of the Managing Trustee.
14
ARTICLE VII
REMEDIES UPON EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Section 7.1 Rights of Secured Party. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise on behalf of Purchaser all the rights of a secured
party under the UCC (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights are exercised)
and, in addition, without being required to give any notice, except as provided in this Agreement
or as may be required by mandatory provisions of law, shall: (i) deliver all Collateral consisting
of shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities (but not, in either case, in excess of the
number of shares deliverable under the Contract at such time) or other property to Purchaser on the
date of such Event of Default (in either case, the “Delivery Date”), whereupon Purchaser
shall hold such shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities or other property absolutely free
from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of Pledgor
which may be waived, and Pledgor, to the extent permitted by law, hereby specifically waives all
rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any law now existing or
hereafter adopted; and (ii) if such delivery shall be insufficient to satisfy in full all of the
obligations of Pledgor under the Contract, sell all of the remaining Collateral, or such lesser
portion of the remaining Collateral as may be necessary to generate proceeds sufficient to satisfy
in full all of the obligations of Pledgor under the Contract, at public or private sale or at any
broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and at
such price or prices as the Collateral Agent may deem satisfactory. Pledgor covenants and agrees
that it will execute and deliver such documents and take such other action as the Collateral Agent
deems necessary or advisable in order that any such sales may be made with the least amount of
costs and taxes and in compliance with law. Upon any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the
right to deliver, assign and transfer the Collateral so sold to the purchaser of such Collateral.
Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold absolutely and free from any
claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of Pledgor which may
be waived, and Pledgor, to the extent permitted by law, hereby specifically waives all rights of
redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any law now existing or hereafter
adopted. The notice (if any) of such sale required by Article 9 of the UCC shall (1) in case of a
public sale, state the time and place fixed for such sale, (2) in case of sale at a broker’s board
or on a securities exchange, state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the
day on which the Collateral, or the portion of such Collateral so being sold, will first be offered
for sale at such board or exchange, and (3) in the case of a private sale, state the day after
which such sale may be consummated. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within
ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix in the notice
of such sale. At any such sale the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate
parcels, as the Collateral Agent may determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to
make any such sale pursuant to any such notice. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or
publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time
by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or
place to which the same
15
may be so adjourned. In case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or
for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the
selling price is paid by the purchaser of such Collateral, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur
any liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so
sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice. The
Collateral Agent, instead of exercising the power of sale conferred upon it in this Agreement, may
proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose the security interests and sell the
Collateral, or any portion of such Collateral, under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of
competent jurisdiction.
Section 7.2 Power of Attorney. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, upon any delivery or sale of all or any part of any Collateral made either under the
power of delivery or sale given hereunder or under judgment or decree in any judicial proceedings
for foreclosure or otherwise for the enforcement of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent is hereby
irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney of Pledgor, in the name and stead of Pledgor, to
make all necessary deeds, bills of sale and instruments of assignment, transfer or conveyance of
the property thus delivered or sold. For that purpose the Collateral Agent may execute all such
documents and instruments. This power of attorney shall be deemed coupled with an interest, and
Pledgor hereby ratifies and confirms all that its attorneys acting under such power, or such
attorneys’ successors or agents, shall lawfully do by virtue of this Agreement. If so requested by
the Collateral Agent, by the Trustees or by any purchaser of the Collateral or a portion of the
Collateral, Pledgor shall further ratify and confirm any such delivery or sale by executing and
delivering to the Collateral Agent, to the Trustees or to such purchaser or purchasers at the
expense of Pledgor all proper deeds, bills of sale, instruments of assignment, conveyance of
transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request.
Section 7.3 Application of Collateral and Proceeds. In the case of an Event of
Default, the Collateral Agent may proceed to realize upon the security interest in the Collateral
against anyone or more of the types of Collateral, at anyone time, as the Collateral Agent shall
determine in its sole discretion subject to the foregoing provisions of this Article VII. The
proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, or other receipt from, any such Collateral
shall be applied by the Collateral Agent in the following order of priorities: first, to the
payment to the Collateral Agent of the expenses of such sale or other realization, including
reasonable compensation to the Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel, and all expenses,
liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith,
including brokerage fees in connection with the sale by the Collateral Agent of any Pledged Item;
second, to the payment to Purchaser of an amount equal to: (A) the aggregate Market Value of a
number of shares of Common Stock and, if a Spin-Off Distribution has occurred, Marketable
Securities distributed in such Spin-Off Distribution equal to (1) the number of shares of Common
Stock or Marketable Securities, as the case may be, required to be delivered under the Contract on
the Delivery Date minus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities, as the
case may be, delivered by the Collateral Agent to Purchaser on the Delivery Date as described
above; or (B) from and after a Reorganization Event, the sum of (1) the Cash Delivery Obligations
on the Delivery Date and (2) the aggregate Market Value on the Delivery Date of a number of
Marketable Securities distributed in such Reorganization Event equal to (x) the number of such
Marketable Securities permitted to be delivered on the Delivery Date under Section 6.2 of the
Contract minus (y) the number of such Marketable Securities delivered by the
16
Collateral Agent to Purchaser on the Delivery Date as described above; together with, in
either of cases (A) and (B), any amounts due to Purchaser from Pledgor pursuant to Section
2.4(i)(ii) of the Trust Agreement; and finally, if all of the obligations of Pledgor hereunder and
under the Contract have been fully discharged or sufficient funds have been set aside by the
Collateral Agent at the request of Pledgor for the discharge of such obligations, any remaining
proceeds shall be released to Pledgor.
ARTICLE VIII

Section 8.1 Conditions to Duties of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent
accepts its duties and responsibilities hereunder as agent for Purchaser, on and subject to the
following terms and conditions:
(a) Performance of Duties. The Collateral Agent undertakes to perform such
duties and only such duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and, beyond the
exercise of reasonable care in the performance of such duties, no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Collateral Agent. No provision of
this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Collateral Agent from liability for a
breach of its obligations under this Agreement or its own grossly negligent action, grossly
negligent failure to act, bad faith, wilful misconduct or reckless disregard of its duties.
In performing its duties, the following shall apply:
(i) The Collateral Agent may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of
such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of
an action taken or suffered hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such
advice or opinion of counsel.
(ii) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it in good faith (i) reasonably believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred on it by this
Agreement or (ii) in accordance with any direction or request of the Trustees.
(iii) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment made
in good faith by any of its officers, unless the Collateral Agent was grossly
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
(iv) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Collateral Agent may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
opinions expressed therein, upon any note, notice, resolution, consent, certificate,
affidavit, letter, telegram, teletype message, statement, order or other document
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the
proper Person or Persons.
(v) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Collateral Agent to expend
or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance
of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights
or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of
such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it.
17
(vi) The Collateral Agent may perform any duties hereunder either directly or
by or through agents or attorneys, and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible
for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with
due care by it hereunder. In furtherance of the preceding sentence, any subsidiary
owned or controlled by the Collateral Agent, or its successors, as agent for the
Collateral Agent, may perform any or all of the duties of the Collateral Agent
relating to the valuation of securities and other instruments constituting
Collateral hereunder.
(vii) In no event shall the Collateral Agent be personally liable for any taxes
or other governmental charges imposed upon or in respect of (i) the Collateral or
(ii) the income or other distributions thereon.
(viii) Unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received notice from
Pledgor, Purchaser or any other Person, or unless and until a Responsible Officer of
the Collateral Agent shall have actual knowledge to the contrary, the Collateral
Agent shall be entitled to deem and treat all Collateral delivered to it hereunder
as Eligible Collateral hereunder, provided that the Collateral Agent has carried out
the duties specified in Article V with respect to such Collateral at the time of
delivery of such Collateral.
The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the correctness of the recitals and
statements in this Agreement that are made by Pledgor or for any statement or certificate delivered
by Pledgor pursuant to this Agreement, provided that the Collateral Agent has carried out the
duties specified in Article V with respect to such Collateral at the time of delivery of such
Collateral. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not be
responsible for the validity, sufficiency, collectibility or marketability of any Collateral given
to or held by it hereunder or for the validity or sufficiency of the Contract or the Lien on the
Collateral purported to be created hereby.
(b) Knowledge. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of
any Event of Default (except a Collateral Event of Default), unless and until a Responsible
Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have actual knowledge of such Event of Default or the
Collateral Agent shall have received written notice, delivered in accordance with Section
9.3, of such Event of Default. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge
of any Spin-Off Distribution, Reorganization Event or Dilution Adjustment unless and until a
Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have actual knowledge of such event or the
Collateral Agent shall have received written notice.
(c) Following an Event of Default by Pledgor, the Collateral Agent shall exercise such
remedies as provided in Article VII, Section 6.2 and as permitted at law in accordance with
the written instructions of the Managing Trustee.

may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or
transfer its agency business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation
or association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which
it is a party, shall be and become the successor Collateral Agent hereunder and vested with all of
the title to the Collateral and all of the powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and other
matters as was its predecessor without, except as provided above, the execution or filing of any
instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of the parties to this
Agreement, anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 8.3 Resignation. Subject to Section 8.5, the Collateral Agent and any
successor Collateral Agent may at any time resign by giving 30 days’ written notice by registered

Trust Agreement), or the resignation or removal of the Administrator, the Paying Agent or
the Custodian (in each case as defined in the Trust Agreement).
Section 8.5 Effectiveness of Resignation or Removal. No resignation or removal of the
Collateral Agent shall be effective until a successor Collateral Agent shall have been appointed
and shall have accepted the duties of the Collateral Agent. If, within 30 days after notice by the
Collateral Agent to the Trust or by the Trust to the Collateral Agent of any such resignation or
removal, no successor Collateral Agent shall have been selected and accepted the duties of the
Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Collateral Agent.
Section 8.6 Appointment of Successor.
(a) If the Collateral Agent hereunder shall resign or be removed, or be dissolved or
shall be in the course of dissolution or liquidation or otherwise become incapable of action
hereunder, or if it shall be taken under the control of any public officer or officers or of
a receiver appointed by a court, a successor may be appointed by Purchaser by an instrument
or concurrent instruments in writing signed by Purchaser or by its attorneys in fact duly
authorized. A copy of such instrument or concurrent instruments shall be sent by registered
mail to Pledgor.
19
(b) Every such temporary or permanent successor Collateral Agent appointed pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement shall be a trust company or bank in good standing, having a
reported capital, surplus and retained earnings of not less than $100,000,000 and capable of
holding the Collateral in the State of New York, if there be such an institution willing,
qualified and able to accept the duties of the Collateral Agent hereunder upon customary
terms.
Section 8.7 Acceptance by Successor. Every temporary or permanent successor
Collateral Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and
also to Pledgor and Purchaser an instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder,
whereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested
with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessors. Such
predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of its successor or Pledgor, execute and
deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all the estates, properties, rights and powers
of such predecessor hereunder. Every predecessor Collateral Agent shall deliver all Collateral
held by it as the Collateral Agent hereunder to its successor. Should any instrument in writing
from Pledgor be required by a successor Collateral Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in
such successor the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby vested or
intended to be vested in the predecessor, any and all such instruments in writing shall, at the
request of the temporary or permanent successor Collateral Agent, be forthwith executed,
acknowledged and delivered by Pledgor.
Section 8.8 Compensation. For services to be rendered by the Collateral Agent
pursuant to this Agreement, the Administrator shall receive only such fees and expenses as shall be
paid to it pursuant to the terms of the Indemnity Agreement and shall have no recourse to the
assets of Purchaser for the payment of any such amounts.
Section 8.9 Indemnification. The Trust shall indemnify and hold the Collateral Agent,
its agents, servants, officers, employees and directors, harmless from and against any loss,
damages, cost or expense (including the costs of investigation, preparation for and defense of
legal and/or administrative proceedings related to a claim against it and reasonable attorneys’
fees and disbursements), liability or claim incurred by reason of any inaccuracy in information
furnished to the Collateral Agent by the Trust or the Pledgor, or any act or omission in the course
of, connected with or arising out of any services to be rendered hereunder; provided that
the Collateral Agent shall not be indemnified and held harmless from and against any such loss,
damages, cost, expense, liability or claim incurred by reason of its breach of its obligations
under this Agreement, willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its
duties, or its reckless disregard of its duties and obligations hereunder. Such indemnity shall
survive the resignation, removal or discharge of the Collateral Agent and the termination of this
Agreement.

such other jurisdiction.
21
Section 9.5 Severability. To the extent permitted by law, the unenforceability or
invalidity of any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not render any other provision or
provisions contained in this Agreement unenforceable or invalid.
Section 9.6 Entire Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, this
Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter of
this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, both written
and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.
Section 9.7 Amendments; Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or
waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retrospectively or prospectively)
if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by
the parties hereto or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be
effective. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power or privilege under
this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of
such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights
and remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or
remedies provided by law.
Section 9.8 Non-Assignability. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the
parties under this Agreement may not be assigned or delegated by any party without the prior

Collateral Agent appointed pursuant to Section 8.6), and any purported assignment without such
consent shall be void.
Section 9.9 No Third Party Rights; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is not
intended and shall not be construed to create any rights in any person other than the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns and no person shall assert any rights as third
party beneficiary under this Agreement. Whenever any of the parties to this Agreement is referred
to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party. All the
covenants and agreements in this Agreement contained by or on behalf of the parties hereto shall
bind, and inure to the benefit of, their respective successors and assigns whether so expressed or
not and shall be enforceable by and inure to the benefit of Purchaser and its successors and
assigns.
Section 9.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed, acknowledged and delivered
in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall
constitute a single agreement, with the same effect as if the signatures on each such counterpart
were upon the same instrument.
22
Section 9.11 Grantor. Grantor hereby makes all representations and warranties and
agrees to perform all the covenants and other obligations of Pledgor under this Agreement as if he
were “Pledgor” hereunder, and every reference to “Pledgor” shall be deemed to include
Grantor. All the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of
Grantor shall bind and be enforceable by, and inure to the benefit of, its successors and assigns
whether so expressed or not, including without limitation, the estate of Grantor, and the executor,
administrator or personal representative of such Grantor, as well as such Grantor’s heirs, assigns,
beneficiaries, transferees and distributees, or any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or
representative of such Grantor’s creditors, and shall be enforceable by and inure to the benefit of
Grantor and its successors and assigns. In addition, within three months of the appointment of a
personal representative of the estate of any deceased Grantor, such personal representative shall
enter into an agreement assuming all of the obligations of this Agreement and agreeing not to
challenge this Agreement, and failure to do so shall be an Event of Default hereunder. Grantor
agrees that if the Collateral passes to his estate, death will not terminate the pledge of
Collateral hereunder, and the personal representative of the estate will not make any distributions
of the Collateral required hereunder from the Grantor’s estate until such time as the provisions of
this Agreement have been satisfied and the Collateral Agent provides a release to that effect to
such personal representative.

whether the Pledge Value Requirement is met and whether a Collateral Event of Default has occurred.
Solely for purposes of such calculation, the Market Value of the shares of Common Stock or
Marketable Securities shall be: (A) the most recent sales price as reported in the composite
transactions for the principal securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock or
Marketable Securities, as the case may be, are then listed or, if such securities are not so
listed, the last quoted ask price for such securities as reported by Pink OTC Markets Inc. or a
similar organization; or (B) if higher, in the case of Common Stock, the most recent available
Closing Price.
(c) Collateral sold and shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities purchased by
the Collateral Agent pursuant to the preceding Sections 5.5(a) and (b) may be sold and
purchased on any securities exchange or in any over-the-counter market or in any private
purchase transaction, and at such price or prices, in each case as the Collateral Agent may
deem satisfactory. Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will execute and deliver such
documents, pay all fees and transfer taxes and take such other action as the Collateral
Agent deems necessary or advisable in order that any such sales and purchases may be made in
compliance with law.
Section 5.6 Release of Excess Collateral. (a) If on any Business Day the Collateral
Agent determines that the aggregate Pledge Value of Pledgor’s Eligible Collateral exceeds the
Pledge Value Requirement and no Event of Default or failure by Pledgor to meet any of its
obligations under Articles IV or V has occurred and is continuing, Pledgor may obtain the release
from the Lien created by this Agreement of any Collateral having an aggregate Pledge Value on such
Business Day less than or equal to such excess, upon delivery to the Collateral Agent of a written
notice from an Authorized Representative of Pledgor indicating the items of Collateral to be
released. Such Collateral shall be released only after the Collateral Agent shall have determined
that the aggregate Pledge Value of all of the Collateral remaining after such release as determined
on such Business Day is at least equal to the Pledge Value Requirement.
(b) If directed by the Trust upon Pledgor’s transfer of Securities to the Trust, free
and clear of any Liens and Transfer Restrictions, for cancellation pursuant to Section
2.3(e) of the Contract, the Collateral Agent shall release to the Pledgor the Collateral
associated with the cancelled Securities and thereafter the Maximum Deliverable Number
hereunder shall be adjusted accordingly.
Section 5.7 Delivery of Contract Consideration. On the Exchange Date, unless (i) a
Reorganization Event shall have occurred prior to the Exchange Date or (ii) if permitted under the
Contract, Pledgor shall have elected the Cash Settlement Alternative pursuant to Section 2.3(d) of
the Contract and made the cash payment required by that Section, the Collateral Agent shall deliver
to Purchaser from the shares of Common Stock and, if a Spin-Off Distribution has occurred,
Marketable Securities then held by it hereunder representing the number of shares of Common Stock
and Marketable Securities that were distributed in such Spin-Off Distribution then required to be
delivered by Pledgor under the Contract. If a Reorganization Event shall have occurred prior to
the Exchange Date, then (A) if so instructed by Pledgor by the close of business on the Business
Day preceding the Exchange Date, the
13
Collateral Agent shall deliver to Purchaser, to the extent Marketable Securities are to be
delivered on such date under Section 6.2 of the Contract, the Marketable Securities then held by
the Collateral Agent hereunder; and (B) if such Reorganization Event is a Cash Merger, the
Collateral Agent shall deliver to Purchaser all cash or other assets then held by the Collateral
Agent and required to be delivered under the Contract at the time when such delivery is required to
be made under the Contract. Upon such delivery, Purchaser shall hold such shares of Common Stock
or Marketable Securities, cash or other property, as the case may be, absolutely and free from any
claim or right whatsoever.
Section 5.8 Investment of Cash Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall invest any cash
received by it pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Contract (other than cash that is delivered to the
Purchaser as part of the Accelerated Portion in the event of a Cash Merger) in U.S. Government
Securities maturing before December 31, 2013 as directed by the Managing Trustee.
Section 5.9 Limitations on Further Pledge of Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall
not rehypothecate, pledge or otherwise transfer any of the Collateral except as expressly provided
in this Agreement.
ARTICLE VI
INCOME AND VOTING RIGHTS ON COLLATERAL
Section 6.1 Income on Collateral. Unless an Event of Default or failure by Pledgor to
meet any of its obligations under Article IV or V has occurred and is continuing, Pledgor shall be
entitled to receive for its own account all dividends, interest and, if any, principal and premium
relating to all of the Collateral if permitted and in accordance with the requirements of Section
5.6. The Collateral Agent agrees to remit to Pledgor on the Business Day received or the first
Business Day thereafter all such payments received by it. If an Event of Default or failure by
Pledgor to meet any of its obligations under Article IV or V has occurred and is continuing, all
such payments made or accrued after and during the continuance of such default or failure shall be
retained by the Collateral Agent, and any such payments which are received by Pledgor shall be
received in trust for the benefit of Purchaser, shall be segregated from other funds of Pledgor and
shall forthwith be paid over to the Collateral Agent. Any such payments so retained by, or paid
over to, the Collateral Agent shall be held by the Collateral Agent as Collateral hereunder.
Section 6.2 Voting of Collateral. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Pledgor shall have the right, from time to time, to vote and to give consents,
ratifications and waivers with respect to the Collateral, and the Collateral Agent shall deliver to
Pledgor or as specified in such request such proxies, powers of attorney, consents, ratifications
and waivers in respect of any of the Collateral which is registered in the name of the Collateral
Agent or its nominee as shall be specified in such request and be in form and substance
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to the extent permitted by law, and Pledgor
shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to give effect to such right, to vote
and to give consents, ratifications and waivers, and take any other action with respect to any or
all of the Collateral with the same force and effect as if the Collateral Agent were the
absolute and sole owner of the Collateral and, in such event, shall take any such actions in
accordance with written instructions of the Managing Trustee.
14
ARTICLE VII
REMEDIES UPON EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Section 7.1 Rights of Secured Party. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise on behalf of Purchaser all the rights of a secured
party under the UCC (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights are exercised)
and, in addition, without being required to give any notice, except as provided in this Agreement
or as may be required by mandatory provisions of law, shall: (i) deliver all Collateral consisting
of shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities (but not, in either case, in excess of the
number of shares deliverable under the Contract at such time) or other property to Purchaser on the
date of such Event of Default (in either case, the “Delivery Date”), whereupon Purchaser
shall hold such shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities or other property absolutely free
from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of Pledgor
which may be waived, and Pledgor, to the extent permitted by law, hereby specifically waives all
rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any law now existing or
hereafter adopted; and (ii) if such delivery shall be insufficient to satisfy in full all of the
obligations of Pledgor under the Contract, sell all of the remaining Collateral, or such lesser
portion of the remaining Collateral as may be necessary to generate proceeds sufficient to satisfy
in full all of the obligations of Pledgor under the Contract, at public or private sale or at any
broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and at
such price or prices as the Collateral Agent may deem satisfactory. Pledgor covenants and agrees
that it will execute and deliver such documents and take such other action as the Collateral Agent
deems necessary or advisable in order that any such sales may be made with the least amount of
costs and taxes and in compliance with law. Upon any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the
right to deliver, assign and transfer the Collateral so sold to the purchaser of such Collateral.
Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold absolutely and free from any
claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of Pledgor which may
be waived, and Pledgor, to the extent permitted by law, hereby specifically waives all rights of
redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any law now existing or hereafter
adopted. The notice (if any) of such sale required by Article 9 of the UCC shall (1) in case of a
public sale, state the time and place fixed for such sale, (2) in case of sale at a broker’s board
or on a securities exchange, state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the
day on which the Collateral, or the portion of such Collateral so being sold, will first be offered
for sale at such board or exchange, and (3) in the case of a private sale, state the day after
which such sale may be consummated. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within
ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix in the notice
of such sale. At any such sale the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate
parcels, as the Collateral Agent may determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to
make any such sale pursuant to any such notice. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or
publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time
by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or
place to which the same
15
may be so adjourned. In case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or
for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the
selling price is paid by the purchaser of such Collateral, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur
any liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so
sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice. The
Collateral Agent, instead of exercising the power of sale conferred upon it in this Agreement, may
proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose the security interests and sell the
Collateral, or any portion of such Collateral, under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of
competent jurisdiction.
Section 7.2 Power of Attorney. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, upon any delivery or sale of all or any part of any Collateral made either under the
power of delivery or sale given hereunder or under judgment or decree in any judicial proceedings
for foreclosure or otherwise for the enforcement of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent is hereby
irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney of Pledgor, in the name and stead of Pledgor, to
make all necessary deeds, bills of sale and instruments of assignment, transfer or conveyance of
the property thus delivered or sold. For that purpose the Collateral Agent may execute all such
documents and instruments. This power of attorney shall be deemed coupled with an interest, and
Pledgor hereby ratifies and confirms all that its attorneys acting under such power, or such
attorneys’ successors or agents, shall lawfully do by virtue of this Agreement. If so requested by
the Collateral Agent, by the Trustees or by any purchaser of the Collateral or a portion of the
Collateral, Pledgor shall further ratify and confirm any such delivery or sale by executing and
delivering to the Collateral Agent, to the Trustees or to such purchaser or purchasers at the
expense of Pledgor all proper deeds, bills of sale, instruments of assignment, conveyance of
transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request.
Section 7.3 Application of Collateral and Proceeds. In the case of an Event of
Default, the Collateral Agent may proceed to realize upon the security interest in the Collateral
against anyone or more of the types of Collateral, at anyone time, as the Collateral Agent shall
determine in its sole discretion subject to the foregoing provisions of this Article VII. The
proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, or other receipt from, any such Collateral
shall be applied by the Collateral Agent in the following order of priorities: first, to the
payment to the Collateral Agent of the expenses of such sale or other realization, including
reasonable compensation to the Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel, and all expenses,
liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith,
including brokerage fees in connection with the sale by the Collateral Agent of any Pledged Item;
second, to the payment to Purchaser of an amount equal to: (A) the aggregate Market Value of a
number of shares of Common Stock and, if a Spin-Off Distribution has occurred, Marketable
Securities distributed in such Spin-Off Distribution equal to (1) the number of shares of Common
Stock or Marketable Securities, as the case may be, required to be delivered under the Contract on
the Delivery Date minus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities, as the
case may be, delivered by the Collateral Agent to Purchaser on the Delivery Date as described
above; or (B) from and after a Reorganization Event, the sum of (1) the Cash Delivery Obligations
on the Delivery Date and (2) the aggregate Market Value on the Delivery Date of a number of
Marketable Securities distributed in such Reorganization Event equal to (x) the number of such
Marketable Securities permitted to be delivered on the Delivery Date under Section 6.2 of the
Contract minus (y) the number of such Marketable Securities delivered by the
16
Collateral Agent to Purchaser on the Delivery Date as described above; together with, in
either of cases (A) and (B), any amounts due to Purchaser from Pledgor pursuant to Section
2.4(i)(ii) of the Trust Agreement; and finally, if all of the obligations of Pledgor hereunder and
under the Contract have been fully discharged or sufficient funds have been set aside by the
Collateral Agent at the request of Pledgor for the discharge of such obligations, any remaining
proceeds shall be released to Pledgor.
ARTICLE VIII
THE COLLATERAL AGENT
Section 8.1 Conditions to Duties of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent
accepts its duties and responsibilities hereunder as agent for Purchaser, on and subject to the
following terms and conditions:
(a) Performance of Duties. The Collateral Agent undertakes to perform such
duties and only such duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and, beyond the
exercise of reasonable care in the performance of such duties, no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Collateral Agent. No provision of
this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Collateral Agent from liability for a
breach of its obligations under this Agreement or its own grossly negligent action, grossly
negligent failure to act, bad faith, wilful misconduct or reckless disregard of its duties.
In performing its duties, the following shall apply:
(i) The Collateral Agent may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of
such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of
an action taken or suffered hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such
advice or opinion of counsel.
(ii) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it in good faith (i) reasonably believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred on it by this
Agreement or (ii) in accordance with any direction or request of the Trustees.
(iii) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment made
in good faith by any of its officers, unless the Collateral Agent was grossly
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
(iv) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Collateral Agent may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
opinions expressed therein, upon any note, notice, resolution, consent, certificate,
affidavit, letter, telegram, teletype message, statement, order or other document
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the
proper Person or Persons.
(v) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Collateral Agent to expend
or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance
of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights
or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of
such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it.
17
(vi) The Collateral Agent may perform any duties hereunder either directly or
by or through agents or attorneys, and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible
for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with
due care by it hereunder. In furtherance of the preceding sentence, any subsidiary
owned or controlled by the Collateral Agent, or its successors, as agent for the
Collateral Agent, may perform any or all of the duties of the Collateral Agent
relating to the valuation of securities and other instruments constituting
Collateral hereunder.
(vii) In no event shall the Collateral Agent be personally liable for any taxes
or other governmental charges imposed upon or in respect of (i) the Collateral or
(ii) the income or other distributions thereon.
(viii) Unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received notice from
Pledgor, Purchaser or any other Person, or unless and until a Responsible Officer of
the Collateral Agent shall have actual knowledge to the contrary, the Collateral
Agent shall be entitled to deem and treat all Collateral delivered to it hereunder
as Eligible Collateral hereunder, provided that the Collateral Agent has carried out
the duties specified in Article V with respect to such Collateral at the time of
delivery of such Collateral.
The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the correctness of the recitals and
statements in this Agreement that are made by Pledgor or for any statement or certificate delivered
by Pledgor pursuant to this Agreement, provided that the Collateral Agent has carried out the
duties specified in Article V with respect to such Collateral at the time of delivery of such
Collateral. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not be
responsible for the validity, sufficiency, collectibility or marketability of any Collateral given
to or held by it hereunder or for the validity or sufficiency of the Contract or the Lien on the
Collateral purported to be created hereby.
(b) Knowledge. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of
any Event of Default (except a Collateral Event of Default), unless and until a Responsible
Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have actual knowledge of such Event of Default or the
Collateral Agent shall have received written notice, delivered in accordance with Section
9.3, of such Event of Default. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge
of any Spin-Off Distribution, Reorganization Event or Dilution Adjustment unless and until a
Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have actual knowledge of such event or the
Collateral Agent shall have received written notice.
(c) Following an Event of Default by Pledgor, the Collateral Agent shall exercise such
remedies as provided in Article VII, Section 6.2 and as permitted at law in accordance with
the written instructions of the Managing Trustee.
18
Section 8.2 Merger. Any corporation or association into which the Collateral Agent
may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or
transfer its agency business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation
or association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which
it is a party, shall be and become the successor Collateral Agent hereunder and vested with all of
the title to the Collateral and all of the powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and other
matters as was its predecessor without, except as provided above, the execution or filing of any
instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of the parties to this
Agreement, anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 8.3 Resignation. Subject to Section 8.5, the Collateral Agent and any
successor Collateral Agent may at any time resign by giving 30 days’ written notice by registered
or certified mail to Pledgor and notice to Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of Section
9.3.
Section 8.4 Removal.
(a) Subject to Section 8.5, the Collateral Agent may be removed at any time by an
instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Collateral Agent and to
Pledgor and signed by Purchaser.
(b) Subject to Section 8.5, the Collateral Agent shall be removed immediately upon (i)
termination of the Trust Agreement, (ii) termination of the Administration Agreement (as
defined in the Trust Agreement), (iii) termination of the Paying Agent Agreement (as defined
in the Trust Agreement), (iv) termination of the Custodian Agreement (as defined in the
Trust Agreement), or the resignation or removal of the Administrator, the Paying Agent or
the Custodian (in each case as defined in the Trust Agreement).
Section 8.5 Effectiveness of Resignation or Removal. No resignation or removal of the
Collateral Agent shall be effective until a successor Collateral Agent shall have been appointed
and shall have accepted the duties of the Collateral Agent. If, within 30 days after notice by the
Collateral Agent to the Trust or by the Trust to the Collateral Agent of any such resignation or
removal, no successor Collateral Agent shall have been selected and accepted the duties of the
Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Collateral Agent.
Section 8.6 Appointment of Successor.
(a) If the Collateral Agent hereunder shall resign or be removed, or be dissolved or
shall be in the course of dissolution or liquidation or otherwise become incapable of action
hereunder, or if it shall be taken under the control of any public officer or officers or of
a receiver appointed by a court, a successor may be appointed by Purchaser by an instrument
or concurrent instruments in writing signed by Purchaser or by its attorneys in fact duly
authorized. A copy of such instrument or concurrent instruments shall be sent by registered
mail to Pledgor.
19
(b) Every such temporary or permanent successor Collateral Agent appointed pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement shall be a trust company or bank in good standing, having a
reported capital, surplus and retained earnings of not less than $100,000,000 and capable of
holding the Collateral in the State of New York, if there be such an institution willing,
qualified and able to accept the duties of the Collateral Agent hereunder upon customary
terms.
Section 8.7 Acceptance by Successor. Every temporary or permanent successor
Collateral Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and
also to Pledgor and Purchaser an instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder,
whereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested
with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessors. Such
predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of its successor or Pledgor, execute and
deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all the estates, properties, rights and powers
of such predecessor hereunder. Every predecessor Collateral Agent shall deliver all Collateral
held by it as the Collateral Agent hereunder to its successor. Should any instrument in writing
from Pledgor be required by a successor Collateral Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in
such successor the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby vested or
intended to be vested in the predecessor, any and all such instruments in writing shall, at the
request of the temporary or permanent successor Collateral Agent, be forthwith executed,
acknowledged and delivered by Pledgor.
Section 8.8 Compensation. For services to be rendered by the Collateral Agent
pursuant to this Agreement, the Administrator shall receive only such fees and expenses as shall be
paid to it pursuant to the terms of the Indemnity Agreement and shall have no recourse to the
assets of Purchaser for the payment of any such amounts.
Section 8.9 Indemnification. The Trust shall indemnify and hold the Collateral Agent,
its agents, servants, officers, employees and directors, harmless from and against any loss,
damages, cost or expense (including the costs of investigation, preparation for and defense of
legal and/or administrative proceedings related to a claim against it and reasonable attorneys’
fees and disbursements), liability or claim incurred by reason of any inaccuracy in information
furnished to the Collateral Agent by the Trust or the Pledgor, or any act or omission in the course
of, connected with or arising out of any services to be rendered hereunder; provided that
the Collateral Agent shall not be indemnified and held harmless from and against any such loss,
damages, cost, expense, liability or claim incurred by reason of its breach of its obligations
under this Agreement, willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its
duties, or its reckless disregard of its duties and obligations hereunder. Such indemnity shall
survive the resignation, removal or discharge of the Collateral Agent and the termination of this
Agreement.
20
ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 9.1 Termination. This Agreement and the rights hereby granted by Pledgor in
the Collateral shall cease, terminate and be void upon fulfillment of all of the
obligations of Pledgor under the Contract, and Pledgor shall have no further liability
hereunder upon such termination. Any Collateral remaining at the time of such termination
(including any shares of Common Stock held following Pledgor’s election of the Cash Settlement
Alternative and payment in respect of the Cash Settlement Alternative pursuant to the Contract),
shall be fully released and discharged from the Lien created by this Agreement and delivered to
Pledgor by the Collateral Agent, all at the expense of Pledgor.
Section 9.2 No Assumption of Liability. By executing this Agreement, none of the
Trustees assumes any personal liability under this Agreement. The Trust Agreement was executed or

address specified in this Section 9.3.
Section 9.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York; provided that as to Collateral located
in any jurisdiction other than the State of New York, the Collateral Agent on behalf of
Purchaser shall have all of the rights to which a secured party is entitled under the laws of
such other jurisdiction.
21
Section 9.5 Severability. To the extent permitted by law, the unenforceability or
invalidity of any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not render any other provision or
provisions contained in this Agreement unenforceable or invalid.
Section 9.6 Entire Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, this
Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter of
this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, both written
and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.
Section 9.7 Amendments; Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or
waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retrospectively or prospectively)
if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by
the parties hereto or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be
effective. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power or privilege under
this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of
such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights
and remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or
remedies provided by law.
Section 9.8 Non-Assignability. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the
parties under this Agreement may not be assigned or delegated by any party without the prior
written consent of the other parties (except, with respect to the Collateral Agent, to a successor
Collateral Agent appointed pursuant to Section 8.6), and any purported assignment without such
consent shall be void.
Section 9.9 No Third Party Rights; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is not
intended and shall not be construed to create any rights in any person other than the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns and no person shall assert any rights as third
party beneficiary under this Agreement. Whenever any of the parties to this Agreement is referred
to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party. All the
covenants and agreements in this Agreement contained by or on behalf of the parties hereto shall
bind, and inure to the benefit of, their respective successors and assigns whether so expressed or
not and shall be enforceable by and inure to the benefit of Purchaser and its successors and
assigns.
Section 9.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed, acknowledged and delivered
in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall
constitute a single agreement, with the same effect as if the signatures on each such counterpart
were upon the same instrument.
22
Section 9.11 Grantor. Grantor hereby makes all representations and warranties and
agrees to perform all the covenants and other obligations of Pledgor under this Agreement as if she
were “Pledgor” hereunder, and every reference to “Pledgor” shall be deemed to include
Grantor. All the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of
Grantor shall bind and be enforceable by, and inure to the benefit of, its successors and assigns
whether so expressed or not, including without limitation, the estate of Grantor, and the executor,
administrator or personal representative of such Grantor, as well as such Grantor’s heirs, assigns,
beneficiaries, transferees and distributees, or any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or
representative of such Grantor’s creditors, and shall be enforceable by and inure to the benefit of
Grantor and its successors and assigns. In addition, within three months of the appointment of a
personal representative of the estate of any deceased Grantor, such personal representative shall
enter into an agreement assuming all of the obligations of this Agreement and agreeing not to
challenge this Agreement, and failure to do so shall be an Event of Default hereunder. Grantor
agrees that if the Collateral passes to her estate, death will not terminate the pledge of
Collateral hereunder, and the personal representative of the estate will not make any distributions
of the Collateral required hereunder from the Grantor’s estate until such time as the provisions of
this Agreement have been satisfied and the Collateral Agent provides a release to that effect to
such personal representative.

maintain good and marketable title to the Collateral pledged by it, free of all Liens (other
than the Lien created by this Agreement) and Transfer Restrictions, and, subject to the

Event, Pledgor shall immediately cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, in the
manner provided in Section 5.4: (i) cash or the Merger Consideration other than Marketable

Number of Marketable Securities, in each case to be held as substitute Collateral hereunder.
If a Spin-Off Distribution occurs and thereafter any transaction with respect to the issuer
of the spun-off Marketable Securities that would have been a Reorganization Event if it had
occurred with respect to the Company occurs, then this subsection applies as if that issuer
of Marketable Securities were the Company and such spun-off Marketable Securities were the
Common Stock.
8
(d) Pledge Upon Spin-Off Distribution. Upon the occurrence of a Spin-Off
Distribution, Pledgor shall immediately cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, in
the manner provided in Section 5.4, Marketable Securities in an amount at least equal to the

Securities having an aggregate Market Value at least equal to 150% of such Maximum
Deliverable Number of Marketable Securities, in each case to be held as additional
Collateral hereunder.
(e) Pledge of Contract Consideration. Notwithstanding Pledgor’s right to
substitute Collateral pursuant to Section 5.2, Pledgor shall cause the Collateral to
include, on the Exchange Date, (i) unless a Reorganization Event shall have occurred, a

Securities or other property required to be delivered under the Contract on the Exchange
Date.
(f) Pledge Upon Collateral Event of Default After Dilution Adjustment. If a
Dilution Adjustment is effected pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Contract and a Collateral
Event of Default occurs, to the extent not already in the possession of the Collateral
Agent, the Pledgor shall immediately cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, in the
manner provided in Section 5.4, any and all property distributed by the Company that
resulted in such Dilution Adjustment, in each case to be held as additional Collateral
hereunder.
(g) Further Assurances. Pledgor shall, at its expense and in such manner and
form as Purchaser or the Collateral Agent may reasonably require, give, execute, deliver,
file and record any financing statement, notice, instrument, document, agreement or other
papers that may be necessary or desirable in order to create, preserve, perfect,
substantiate or validate any security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement or to
enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and the rights of Purchaser
hereunder with respect to such security interest. To the extent permitted by applicable
law, Pledgor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to execute and file, in the name of
Pledgor or otherwise, UCC financing or continuation statements (which may be carbon,

ARTICLE V
ADMINISTRATION OF THE COLLATERAL AND
VALUATION OF THE SECURITIES
Section 5.1 Valuation of Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall determine as of 4:00
p.m., New York City time, on each Business Day whether the Pledge Value is at least equal to the
Pledge Value Requirement and whether an Insufficiency Determination or Collateral Event of Default
shall have occurred and, from and after any Reorganization Event, Spin-Off Distribution, event or
occurrence giving rise to a Dilution Adjustment of substitution of U.S. Government Securities for
pledged shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities pursuant to Section 5.2, shall determine
the Pledge Value and the Pledge Value Requirement on each Business Day and shall provide written
notice of the Pledge Value and the Pledge Value Requirement, in the form of Exhibit A, to
Pledgor.
Section 5.2 Substitution of Collateral. Pledgor may substitute Collateral in
accordance with the following provisions:
(a) Unless an Event of Default or a failure by Pledgor to meet any of its obligations
under Article IV or V has occurred and is continuing, Pledgor shall have the right at any
time and from time to time to deposit Eligible Collateral with the Collateral Agent in
substitution for Pledged Items previously deposited hereunder (“Prior Collateral”)
and to obtain the release of such Prior Collateral from the Lien created by this Agreement.
(b) If Pledgor wishes to deposit Eligible Collateral with the Collateral Agent in
substitution for Prior Collateral, it shall (i) give written notice from an Authorized
Representative to the Collateral Agent identifying the Prior Collateral to be released from
the Lien created by this Agreement, (ii) deliver to the Collateral Agent concurrently with
such Eligible Collateral a certificate of Pledgor substantially in the form of Exhibit
B and dated the date of such delivery, (A) identifying the items of Eligible Collateral
being substituted for the Prior Collateral and the Prior Collateral that is to be
transferred to Pledgor and (B) certifying that with respect to such items of additional
Pledged Collateral the representations and warranties contained in Exhibit B are
true and correct on and as of the date of such certificate, and (iii) deliver to the
Collateral Agent concurrently with such Eligible Collateral an opinion, dated the date of
such delivery, of counsel addressed to the Collateral Agent confirming the representations
contained in the first sentence of paragraph 3(a) of Exhibit B insofar as it relates
to securities laws and in the second sentence of paragraph 3(b) of Exhibit B.
Pledgor hereby covenants and agrees to pay all fees, taxes and expenses related to the
substitution of the Collateral and take all actions required under Section 5.4 and any other
actions necessary to create for the benefit of the Collateral Agent a valid, first priority
perfected security interest in, and a first lien upon, such Eligible Collateral deposited
with the Collateral Agent in substitution for Prior Collateral.
(c) No such substitution shall be made unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have determined that the aggregate Pledge Value of all of the Collateral at the time of such proposed substitution, after giving effect to the proposed substitution, shall
at least equal the Pledge Value Requirement.
10
Section 5.3 Additional Collateral. Pledgor may pledge additional Collateral hereunder
at any time and shall pledge additional collateral when required under this Agreement.
Concurrently with the delivery of any additional Eligible Collateral, Pledgor shall deliver (i) a
certificate of Pledgor substantially in the form of Exhibit C, signed by an Authorized
Representative, and dated the date of such delivery, (A) identifying the items of additional
Eligible Collateral being pledged and (B) certifying that with respect to such items of additional
Pledged Collateral the representations and warranties contained in Exhibit C are true and
correct on and as of the date of such certificate, and (ii) an opinion, dated the date of such
delivery, of counsel addressed to the Collateral Agent confirming the representations contained in
the first sentence of paragraph 2(a) of Exhibit C insofar as it relates to securities laws
and in the second sentence of paragraph 2(b) of Exhibit C. Pledgor hereby covenants and
agrees to take all actions required under Section 5.4 and any other actions necessary to create for
the benefit of the Collateral Agent a valid, first priority perfected security interest in, and a
first lien upon, such additional Eligible Collateral.
Section 5.4 Delivery of Collateral. Pledgor shall deliver the Collateral to the
Collateral Agent in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) Pledged U.S. Government Securities. In the case of Collateral consisting
of U.S. Government Securities, by transfer of such U.S. Government Securities through the
Book Entry System of the Federal Reserve System to the account of the Collateral Agent or to
an account (other than an account of Pledgor) designated by the Collateral Agent; and
(b) Pledged Marketable Securities or Class B Common Stock. In the case of
Collateral consisting of Marketable Securities or Class B Common Stock, by either (1)
delivery of certificates evidencing such securities, registered in the name of the
Collateral Agent or its nominee or duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by stock powers
duly executed in blank, or (2) if such securities are not held in certificated form but are
held in book-entry form by The Depository Trust Company or any other comparable depositary,
by transfer to an account of the Collateral Agent or to an account (other than an account of
Pledgor) designated by the Collateral Agent or to an account (other than an account of
Pledgor) designated by the Collateral Agent with The Depository Trust Company or such other
depositary, as applicable. Each such delivery of Marketable Securities or Class B Common
Stock shall be accompanied by an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Collateral Agent
that the Collateral Agent has obtained a valid, first priority perfected security interest
in, and a first lien upon, such securities.
(c) Delivery of Other Property. In the case of Collateral consisting of
property other than Common Stock, U.S. Government Securities or Marketable Securities, by
any and all action necessary for the Collateral Agent to obtain a valid, first priority
perfected security interest in, and a first lien upon, such property. Each such delivery of
such property shall be accompanied by an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent that the Collateral Agent has obtained a valid, first priority perfected security interest in, and a first lien upon, such property. For the avoidance of
doubt, no such other property shall constitute Eligible Collateral.
11
Upon delivery of any Pledged Item under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall examine
such Pledged Item and any opinions and certificates and other instruments delivered pursuant to
Sections 5.2 or 5.3, this Section 5.4 or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in
connection therewith to determine that they comply as to from with the requirements for Eligible
Collateral. Pledgor hereby designates the Collateral Agent as the Person in whose name any
Collateral held in book-entry form in the Federal Reserve System shall be registered.
Section 5.5 Insufficiency Determination.
(a) If as of 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day the Collateral Agent
determines that the aggregate Pledge Value of the Collateral is less than the Pledge Value
Requirement (any such determination, an “Insufficiency Determination”), the
Collateral Agent shall promptly notify Pledgor of such determination by telephone call to an
Authorized Representative of Pledgor followed by a written confirmation of such call.
(b) If, by 4:00 p.m., New York City time on the fifth Business Day following the day on
which written notice shall have been given pursuant to the preceding paragraph 5.5(a),
Pledgor shall have failed to deliver, in the manner set forth in Sections 5.3 and 5.4,
sufficient additional Eligible Collateral so that, after giving effect to such delivery, the
aggregate Pledge Value of the Collateral, as of 4:00 p.m., New York City time on the fifth
Business Day, is at least equal to the Pledge Value Requirement, then (x) the Collateral
Requirement with respect to any U.S. Government Securities pledged hereunder (other than in
respect of Cash Delivery Obligations) shall be increased from 150% to 200%, and (y) unless a
Collateral Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent
shall:
(i) commence sales, in the matter described in Section 5.5(c), of such portion
of the Collateral consisting of U.S. Government Securities as may be required to be
sold in order to generate proceeds sufficient to purchase shares of Common Stock or,
after a Reorganization Event or Spin-Off Distribution, Marketable Securities of the
applicable type as described in the following clause (ii); and
(ii) commence purchases, in the matter described in Section 5.5(c), of shares
of Common Stock or, after a Reorganization Event or Spin-Off Distribution,
Marketable Securities of the applicable type, in an amount sufficient to cause the
aggregate Pledge Value of the Collateral to be at least equal to the Pledge Value
Requirement.
12
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall discontinue sales and purchases
pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), respectively, if at any time a Collateral Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The Collateral Agent shall determine the Market Value and the Pledge Value of the Collateral after each purchase of shares of
Common Stock or Marketable Securities pursuant to the preceding clause (ii) in order to determine
whether the Pledge Value Requirement is met and whether a Collateral Event of Default has occurred.
Solely for purposes of such calculation, the Market Value of the shares of Common Stock or
Marketable Securities shall be: (A) the most recent sales price as reported in the composite
transactions for the principal securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock or
Marketable Securities, as the case may be, are then listed or, if such securities are not so
listed, the last quoted ask price for such securities as reported by Pink OTC Markets Inc. or a
similar organization; or (B) if higher, in the case of Common Stock, the most recent available
Closing Price.
(c) Collateral sold and shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities purchased by
the Collateral Agent pursuant to the preceding Sections 5.5(a) and (b) may be sold and
purchased on any securities exchange or in any over-the-counter market or in any private
purchase transaction, and at such price or prices, in each case as the Collateral Agent may
deem satisfactory. Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will execute and deliver such
documents, pay all fees and transfer taxes and take such other action as the Collateral
Agent deems necessary or advisable in order that any such sales and purchases may be made in
compliance with law.
Section 5.6 Release of Excess Collateral. (a) If on any Business Day the Collateral
Agent determines that the aggregate Pledge Value of Pledgor’s Eligible Collateral exceeds the
Pledge Value Requirement and no Event of Default or failure by Pledgor to meet any of its
obligations under Articles IV or V has occurred and is continuing, Pledgor may obtain the release
from the Lien created by this Agreement of any Collateral having an aggregate Pledge Value on such
Business Day less than or equal to such excess, upon delivery to the Collateral Agent of a written
notice from an Authorized Representative of Pledgor indicating the items of Collateral to be
released. Such Collateral shall be released only after the Collateral Agent shall have determined
that the aggregate Pledge Value of all of the Collateral remaining after such release as determined
on such Business Day is at least equal to the Pledge Value Requirement.
(b) If directed by the Trust upon Pledgor’s transfer of Securities to the Trust, free
and clear of any Liens and Transfer Restrictions, for cancellation pursuant to Section
2.3(e) of the Contract, the Collateral Agent shall release to the Pledgor the Collateral
associated with the cancelled Securities and thereafter the Maximum Deliverable Number
hereunder shall be adjusted accordingly.
Section 5.7 Delivery of Contract Consideration. On the Exchange Date, unless (i) a
Reorganization Event shall have occurred prior to the Exchange Date or (ii) if permitted under the
Contract, Pledgor shall have elected the Cash Settlement Alternative pursuant to Section 2.3(d) of
the Contract and made the cash payment required by that Section, the Collateral Agent shall deliver
to Purchaser from the shares of Common Stock and, if a Spin-Off Distribution has occurred,
Marketable Securities then held by it hereunder representing the number of shares of Common Stock
and Marketable Securities that were distributed in such Spin-Off Distribution then required to be
delivered by Pledgor under the Contract. If a Reorganization Event shall have occurred prior to
the Exchange Date, then (A) if so instructed by Pledgor by the close of business on the Business
Day preceding the Exchange Date, the
13
Collateral Agent shall deliver to Purchaser, to the extent Marketable Securities are to be
delivered on such date under Section 6.2 of the Contract, the Marketable Securities then held by
the Collateral Agent hereunder; and (B) if such Reorganization Event is a Cash Merger, the
Collateral Agent shall deliver to Purchaser all cash or other assets then held by the Collateral
Agent and required to be delivered under the Contract at the time when such delivery is required to
be made under the Contract. Upon such delivery, Purchaser shall hold such shares of Common Stock
or Marketable Securities, cash or other property, as the case may be, absolutely and free from any
claim or right whatsoever.
Section 5.8 Investment of Cash Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall invest any cash
received by it pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Contract (other than cash that is delivered to the
Purchaser as part of the Accelerated Portion in the event of a Cash Merger) in U.S. Government
Securities maturing before December 31, 2013 as directed by the Managing Trustee.
Section 5.9 Limitations on Further Pledge of Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall
not rehypothecate, pledge or otherwise transfer any of the Collateral except as expressly provided
in this Agreement.
ARTICLE VI
INCOME AND VOTING RIGHTS ON COLLATERAL
Section 6.1 Income on Collateral. Unless an Event of Default or failure by Pledgor to
meet any of its obligations under Article IV or V has occurred and is continuing, Pledgor shall be
entitled to receive for its own account all dividends, interest and, if any, principal and premium
relating to all of the Collateral if permitted and in accordance with the requirements of Section
5.6. The Collateral Agent agrees to remit to Pledgor on the Business Day received or the first
Business Day thereafter all such payments received by it. If an Event of Default or failure by
Pledgor to meet any of its obligations under Article IV or V has occurred and is continuing, all
such payments made or accrued after and during the continuance of such default or failure shall be
retained by the Collateral Agent, and any such payments which are received by Pledgor shall be
received in trust for the benefit of Purchaser, shall be segregated from other funds of Pledgor and
shall forthwith be paid over to the Collateral Agent. Any such payments so retained by, or paid
over to, the Collateral Agent shall be held by the Collateral Agent as Collateral hereunder.
Section 6.2 Voting of Collateral. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Pledgor shall have the right, from time to time, to vote and to give consents,
ratifications and waivers with respect to the Collateral, and the Collateral Agent shall deliver to
Pledgor or as specified in such request such proxies, powers of attorney, consents, ratifications
and waivers in respect of any of the Collateral which is registered in the name of the Collateral
Agent or its nominee as shall be specified in such request and be in form and substance
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to the extent permitted by law, and Pledgor
shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to give effect to such right, to vote
and to give consents, ratifications and waivers, and take any other action with respect to any or all of the Collateral with the same force and effect as if the Collateral Agent were the
absolute and sole owner of the Collateral and, in such event, shall take any such actions in
accordance with written instructions of the Managing Trustee.
14
ARTICLE VII
REMEDIES UPON EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Section 7.1 Rights of Secured Party. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise on behalf of Purchaser all the rights of a secured
party under the UCC (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights are exercised)
and, in addition, without being required to give any notice, except as provided in this Agreement
or as may be required by mandatory provisions of law, shall: (i) deliver all Collateral consisting
of shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities (but not, in either case, in excess of the
number of shares deliverable under the Contract at such time) or other property to Purchaser on the
date of such Event of Default (in either case, the “Delivery Date”), whereupon Purchaser
shall hold such shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities or other property absolutely free
from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of Pledgor
which may be waived, and Pledgor, to the extent permitted by law, hereby specifically waives all
rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any law now existing or
hereafter adopted; and (ii) if such delivery shall be insufficient to satisfy in full all of the
obligations of Pledgor under the Contract, sell all of the remaining Collateral, or such lesser
portion of the remaining Collateral as may be necessary to generate proceeds sufficient to satisfy
in full all of the obligations of Pledgor under the Contract, at public or private sale or at any
broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and at
such price or prices as the Collateral Agent may deem satisfactory. Pledgor covenants and agrees
that it will execute and deliver such documents and take such other action as the Collateral Agent
deems necessary or advisable in order that any such sales may be made with the least amount of
costs and taxes and in compliance with law. Upon any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the
right to deliver, assign and transfer the Collateral so sold to the purchaser of such Collateral.
Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold absolutely and free from any
claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of Pledgor which may
be waived, and Pledgor, to the extent permitted by law, hereby specifically waives all rights of
redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any law now existing or hereafter
adopted. The notice (if any) of such sale required by Article 9 of the UCC shall (1) in case of a
public sale, state the time and place fixed for such sale, (2) in case of sale at a broker’s board
or on a securities exchange, state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the
day on which the Collateral, or the portion of such Collateral so being sold, will first be offered
for sale at such board or exchange, and (3) in the case of a private sale, state the day after
which such sale may be consummated. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within
ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix in the notice
of such sale. At any such sale the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate
parcels, as the Collateral Agent may determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to
make any such sale pursuant to any such notice. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or
publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time
by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or
place to which the same
15
may be so adjourned. In case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or
for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the
selling price is paid by the purchaser of such Collateral, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur
any liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so
sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice. The
Collateral Agent, instead of exercising the power of sale conferred upon it in this Agreement, may
proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose the security interests and sell the
Collateral, or any portion of such Collateral, under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of
competent jurisdiction.
Section 7.2 Power of Attorney. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, upon any delivery or sale of all or any part of any Collateral made either under the
power of delivery or sale given hereunder or under judgment or decree in any judicial proceedings
for foreclosure or otherwise for the enforcement of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent is hereby
irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney of Pledgor, in the name and stead of Pledgor, to
make all necessary deeds, bills of sale and instruments of assignment, transfer or conveyance of
the property thus delivered or sold. For that purpose the Collateral Agent may execute all such
documents and instruments. This power of attorney shall be deemed coupled with an interest, and
Pledgor hereby ratifies and confirms all that its attorneys acting under such power, or such
attorneys’ successors or agents, shall lawfully do by virtue of this Agreement. If so requested by
the Collateral Agent, by the Trustees or by any purchaser of the Collateral or a portion of the
Collateral, Pledgor shall further ratify and confirm any such delivery or sale by executing and
delivering to the Collateral Agent, to the Trustees or to such purchaser or purchasers at the
expense of Pledgor all proper deeds, bills of sale, instruments of assignment, conveyance of
transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request.
Section 7.3 Application of Collateral and Proceeds. In the case of an Event of
Default, the Collateral Agent may proceed to realize upon the security interest in the Collateral
against anyone or more of the types of Collateral, at anyone time, as the Collateral Agent shall
determine in its sole discretion subject to the foregoing provisions of this Article VII. The
proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, or other receipt from, any such Collateral
shall be applied by the Collateral Agent in the following order of priorities: first, to the
payment to the Collateral Agent of the expenses of such sale or other realization, including
reasonable compensation to the Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel, and all expenses,
liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith,
including brokerage fees in connection with the sale by the Collateral Agent of any Pledged Item;
second, to the payment to Purchaser of an amount equal to: (A) the aggregate Market Value of a
number of shares of Common Stock and, if a Spin-Off Distribution has occurred, Marketable
Securities distributed in such Spin-Off Distribution equal to (1) the number of shares of Common
Stock or Marketable Securities, as the case may be, required to be delivered under the Contract on
the Delivery Date minus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities, as the
case may be, delivered by the Collateral Agent to Purchaser on the Delivery Date as described
above; or (B) from and after a Reorganization Event, the sum of (1) the Cash Delivery Obligations
on the Delivery Date and (2) the aggregate Market Value on the Delivery Date of a number of
Marketable Securities distributed in such Reorganization Event equal to (x) the number of such
Marketable Securities permitted to be delivered on the Delivery Date under Section 6.2 of the
Contract minus (y) the number of such Marketable Securities delivered by the
Collateral Agent to Purchaser on the Delivery Date as described above; together with, in
either of cases (A) and (B), any amounts due to Purchaser from Pledgor pursuant to Section
2.4(i)(ii) of the Trust Agreement; and finally, if all of the obligations of Pledgor hereunder and

ARTICLE VIII
THE COLLATERAL AGENT
Section 8.1 Conditions to Duties of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent
accepts its duties and responsibilities hereunder as agent for Purchaser, on and subject to the
following terms and conditions:
(a) Performance of Duties. The Collateral Agent undertakes to perform such
duties and only such duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and, beyond the
exercise of reasonable care in the performance of such duties, no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Collateral Agent. No provision of
this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Collateral Agent from liability for a
breach of its obligations under this Agreement or its own grossly negligent action, grossly
negligent failure to act, bad faith, wilful misconduct or reckless disregard of its duties.
In performing its duties, the following shall apply:
(i) The Collateral Agent may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of
such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of
an action taken or suffered hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such
advice or opinion of counsel.
(ii) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it in good faith (i) reasonably believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred on it by this
Agreement or (ii) in accordance with any direction or request of the Trustees.
(iii) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment made
in good faith by any of its officers, unless the Collateral Agent was grossly
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
(iv) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Collateral Agent may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
opinions expressed therein, upon any note, notice, resolution, consent, certificate,
affidavit, letter, telegram, teletype message, statement, order or other document
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the
proper Person or Persons.
(v) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Collateral Agent to expend
or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance
of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of
such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it.
17
(vi) The Collateral Agent may perform any duties hereunder either directly or
by or through agents or attorneys, and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible
for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with
due care by it hereunder. In furtherance of the preceding sentence, any subsidiary
owned or controlled by the Collateral Agent, or its successors, as agent for the
Collateral Agent, may perform any or all of the duties of the Collateral Agent
relating to the valuation of securities and other instruments constituting
Collateral hereunder.
(vii) In no event shall the Collateral Agent be personally liable for any taxes
or other governmental charges imposed upon or in respect of (i) the Collateral or
(ii) the income or other distributions thereon.
(viii) Unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received notice from
Pledgor, Purchaser or any other Person, or unless and until a Responsible Officer of
the Collateral Agent shall have actual knowledge to the contrary, the Collateral
Agent shall be entitled to deem and treat all Collateral delivered to it hereunder
as Eligible Collateral hereunder, provided that the Collateral Agent has carried out
the duties specified in Article V with respect to such Collateral at the time of
delivery of such Collateral.
The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the correctness of the recitals and
statements in this Agreement that are made by Pledgor or for any statement or certificate delivered
by Pledgor pursuant to this Agreement, provided that the Collateral Agent has carried out the
duties specified in Article V with respect to such Collateral at the time of delivery of such
Collateral. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not be
responsible for the validity, sufficiency, collectibility or marketability of any Collateral given
to or held by it hereunder or for the validity or sufficiency of the Contract or the Lien on the
Collateral purported to be created hereby.
(b) Knowledge. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of
any Event of Default (except a Collateral Event of Default), unless and until a Responsible
Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have actual knowledge of such Event of Default or the
Collateral Agent shall have received written notice, delivered in accordance with Section
9.3, of such Event of Default. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge
of any Spin-Off Distribution, Reorganization Event or Dilution Adjustment unless and until a
Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have actual knowledge of such event or the
Collateral Agent shall have received written notice.
(c) Following an Event of Default by Pledgor, the Collateral Agent shall exercise such
remedies as provided in Article VII, Section 6.2 and as permitted at law in accordance with
the written instructions of the Managing Trustee.
18
Section 8.2 Merger. Any corporation or association into which the Collateral Agent
may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or
transfer its agency business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation
or association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which
it is a party, shall be and become the successor Collateral Agent hereunder and vested with all of
the title to the Collateral and all of the powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and other
matters as was its predecessor without, except as provided above, the execution or filing of any
instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of the parties to this
Agreement, anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 8.3 Resignation. Subject to Section 8.5, the Collateral Agent and any
successor Collateral Agent may at any time resign by giving 30 days’ written notice by registered
or certified mail to Pledgor and notice to Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of Section
9.3.
Section 8.4 Removal.
(a) Subject to Section 8.5, the Collateral Agent may be removed at any time by an
instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Collateral Agent and to
Pledgor and signed by Purchaser.
(b) Subject to Section 8.5, the Collateral Agent shall be removed immediately upon (i)
termination of the Trust Agreement, (ii) termination of the Administration Agreement (as
defined in the Trust Agreement), (iii) termination of the Paying Agent Agreement (as defined
in the Trust Agreement), (iv) termination of the Custodian Agreement (as defined in the
Trust Agreement), or the resignation or removal of the Administrator, the Paying Agent or
the Custodian (in each case as defined in the Trust Agreement).
Section 8.5 Effectiveness of Resignation or Removal. No resignation or removal of the
Collateral Agent shall be effective until a successor Collateral Agent shall have been appointed
and shall have accepted the duties of the Collateral Agent. If, within 30 days after notice by the
Collateral Agent to the Trust or by the Trust to the Collateral Agent of any such resignation or
removal, no successor Collateral Agent shall have been selected and accepted the duties of the
Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Collateral Agent.
Section 8.6 Appointment of Successor.
(a) If the Collateral Agent hereunder shall resign or be removed, or be dissolved or
shall be in the course of dissolution or liquidation or otherwise become incapable of action
hereunder, or if it shall be taken under the control of any public officer or officers or of
a receiver appointed by a court, a successor may be appointed by Purchaser by an instrument
or concurrent instruments in writing signed by Purchaser or by its attorneys in fact duly
authorized. A copy of such instrument or concurrent instruments shall be sent by registered
mail to Pledgor.
19
(b) Every such temporary or permanent successor Collateral Agent appointed pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement shall be a trust company or bank in good standing, having a
reported capital, surplus and retained earnings of not less than $100,000,000 and capable of
holding the Collateral in the State of New York, if there be such an institution willing,
qualified and able to accept the duties of the Collateral Agent hereunder upon customary
terms.
Section 8.7 Acceptance by Successor. Every temporary or permanent successor
Collateral Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and
also to Pledgor and Purchaser an instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder,
whereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested
with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessors. Such
predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of its successor or Pledgor, execute and
deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all the estates, properties, rights and powers
of such predecessor hereunder. Every predecessor Collateral Agent shall deliver all Collateral
held by it as the Collateral Agent hereunder to its successor. Should any instrument in writing
from Pledgor be required by a successor Collateral Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in
such successor the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby vested or
intended to be vested in the predecessor, any and all such instruments in writing shall, at the
request of the temporary or permanent successor Collateral Agent, be forthwith executed,
acknowledged and delivered by Pledgor.
Section 8.8 Compensation. For services to be rendered by the Collateral Agent
pursuant to this Agreement, the Administrator shall receive only such fees and expenses as shall be
paid to it pursuant to the terms of the Indemnity Agreement and shall have no recourse to the
assets of Purchaser for the payment of any such amounts.
Section 8.9 Indemnification. The Trust shall indemnify and hold the Collateral Agent,
its agents, servants, officers, employees and directors, harmless from and against any loss,
damages, cost or expense (including the costs of investigation, preparation for and defense of
legal and/or administrative proceedings related to a claim against it and reasonable attorneys’
fees and disbursements), liability or claim incurred by reason of any inaccuracy in information
furnished to the Collateral Agent by the Trust or the Pledgor, or any act or omission in the course
of, connected with or arising out of any services to be rendered hereunder; provided that
the Collateral Agent shall not be indemnified and held harmless from and against any such loss,
damages, cost, expense, liability or claim incurred by reason of its breach of its obligations
under this Agreement, willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its
duties, or its reckless disregard of its duties and obligations hereunder. Such indemnity shall
survive the resignation, removal or discharge of the Collateral Agent and the termination of this
Agreement.
20
ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 9.1 Termination. This Agreement and the rights hereby granted by Pledgor in
the Collateral shall cease, terminate and be void upon fulfillment of all of the obligations of Pledgor under the Contract, and Pledgor shall have no further liability
hereunder upon such termination. Any Collateral remaining at the time of such termination
(including any shares of Common Stock held following Pledgor’s election of the Cash Settlement
Alternative and payment in respect of the Cash Settlement Alternative pursuant to the Contract),
shall be fully released and discharged from the Lien created by this Agreement and delivered to
Pledgor by the Collateral Agent, all at the expense of Pledgor.
Section 9.2 No Assumption of Liability. By executing this Agreement, none of the
Trustees assumes any personal liability under this Agreement. The Trust Agreement was executed or

address specified in this Section 9.3.
Section 9.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York; provided that as to Collateral located
in any jurisdiction other than the State of New York, the Collateral Agent on behalf of Purchaser shall have all of the rights to which a secured party is entitled under the laws of
such other jurisdiction.
21
Section 9.5 Severability. To the extent permitted by law, the unenforceability or
invalidity of any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not render any other provision or
provisions contained in this Agreement unenforceable or invalid.
Section 9.6 Entire Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, this
Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter of
this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, both written
and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.
Section 9.7 Amendments; Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or
waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retrospectively or prospectively)
if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by
the parties hereto or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be
effective. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power or privilege under
this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of
such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights
and remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or
remedies provided by law.
Section 9.8 Non-Assignability. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the
parties under this Agreement may not be assigned or delegated by any party without the prior
written consent of the other parties (except, with respect to the Collateral Agent, to a successor
Collateral Agent appointed pursuant to Section 8.6), and any purported assignment without such
consent shall be void.
Section 9.9 No Third Party Rights; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is not
intended and shall not be construed to create any rights in any person other than the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns and no person shall assert any rights as third
party beneficiary under this Agreement. Whenever any of the parties to this Agreement is referred
to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party. All the
covenants and agreements in this Agreement contained by or on behalf of the parties hereto shall
bind, and inure to the benefit of, their respective successors and assigns whether so expressed or
not and shall be enforceable by and inure to the benefit of Purchaser and its successors and
assigns.
Section 9.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed, acknowledged and delivered
in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall
constitute a single agreement, with the same effect as if the signatures on each such counterpart
were upon the same instrument.
22
Section 9.11 Grantor. Grantor hereby makes all representations and warranties and
agrees to perform all the covenants and other obligations of Pledgor under this Agreement as if she
were “Pledgor” hereunder, and every reference to “Pledgor” shall be deemed to include Grantor. All the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of
Grantor shall bind and be enforceable by, and inure to the benefit of, its successors and assigns
whether so expressed or not, including without limitation, the estate of Grantor, and the executor,
administrator or personal representative of such Grantor, as well as such Grantor’s heirs, assigns,
beneficiaries, transferees and distributees, or any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or
representative of such Grantor’s creditors, and shall be enforceable by and inure to the benefit of
Grantor and its successors and assigns. In addition, within three months of the appointment of a
personal representative of the estate of any deceased Grantor, such personal representative shall
enter into an agreement assuming all of the obligations of this Agreement and agreeing not to
challenge this Agreement, and failure to do so shall be an Event of Default hereunder. Grantor
agrees that if the Collateral passes to her estate, death will not terminate the pledge of
Collateral hereunder, and the personal representative of the estate will not make any distributions
of the Collateral required hereunder from the Grantor’s estate until such time as the provisions of
this Agreement have been satisfied and the Collateral Agent provides a release to that effect to
such personal representative.

ARTICLE IV
CERTAIN COVENANTS OF PLEDGOR
Section 4.1 Certain Covenants of Pledgor. Pledgor agrees that, so long as any of its
obligations under the Contract remain outstanding:
(a) Title to Collateral. Pledgor shall at all times hereafter have and
maintain good and marketable title to the Collateral pledged by it, free of all Liens (other
than the Lien created by this Agreement) and Transfer Restrictions, and, subject to the
terms of this Agreement, will at all times hereafter have and maintain good, right and
lawful authority to assign, transfer and pledge such Collateral and all such additions to

(b) Pledge Value Requirement. Pledgor shall cause the aggregate Pledge Value
of the Collateral to be equal to or greater than the Pledge Value Requirement at all times,
and shall pledge additional Collateral in the manner described in Section 5.4 as necessary
to cause such requirement to be met.
(c) Pledge Upon Reorganization Event. Upon the occurrence of a Reorganization
Event, Pledgor shall immediately cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, in the
manner provided in Section 5.4: (i) cash or the Merger Consideration other than Marketable
Securities delivered in the related Reorganization Event in an amount equal to 100% of
Pledgor’s Cash Delivery Obligations (or U.S. Government Securities having an aggregate
Market Value when pledged and at daily xxxx-to-market valuations thereafter at least equal
to 105% of the Cash Delivery Obligations); and (ii) Marketable Securities in an amount at
least equal to the Maximum Deliverable Number of such securities, or, at Pledgor’s election,
U.S. Government Securities having an aggregate Market Value when pledged and at daily
market-to-market valuations thereafter at least equal to 150% of such Maximum Deliverable
Number of Marketable Securities, in each case to be held as substitute Collateral hereunder.
If a Spin-Off Distribution occurs and thereafter any transaction with respect to the issuer
of the spun-off Marketable Securities that would have been a Reorganization Event if it had
occurred with respect to the Company occurs, then this subsection applies as if that issuer
of Marketable Securities were the Company and such spun-off Marketable Securities were the
Common Stock.
8
(d) Pledge Upon Spin-Off Distribution. Upon the occurrence of a Spin-Off
Distribution, Pledgor shall immediately cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, in
the manner provided in Section 5.4, Marketable Securities in an amount at least equal to the
Maximum Deliverable Number of such securities, or, at Pledgor’s election, U.S. Government
Securities having an aggregate Market Value at least equal to 150% of such Maximum
Deliverable Number of Marketable Securities, in each case to be held as additional
Collateral hereunder.
(e) Pledge of Contract Consideration. Notwithstanding Pledgor’s right to
substitute Collateral pursuant to Section 5.2, Pledgor shall cause the Collateral to
include, on the Exchange Date, (i) unless a Reorganization Event shall have occurred, a
number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to the number of shares of Common Stock
(and, if a Spin-Off Distribution has occurred, the number of Marketable Securities
distributed in such Spin-Off Distribution) required to be delivered under the Contract on
the Exchange Date, and (ii) if a Reorganization Event has occurred, any Marketable
Securities or other property required to be delivered under the Contract on the Exchange
Date.
(f) Pledge Upon Collateral Event of Default After Dilution Adjustment. If a
Dilution Adjustment is effected pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Contract and a Collateral
Event of Default occurs, to the extent not already in the possession of the Collateral
Agent, the Pledgor shall immediately cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, in the
manner provided in Section 5.4, any and all property distributed by the Company that
resulted in such Dilution Adjustment, in each case to be held as additional Collateral
hereunder.
(g) Further Assurances. Pledgor shall, at its expense and in such manner and
form as Purchaser or the Collateral Agent may reasonably require, give, execute, deliver,
file and record any financing statement, notice, instrument, document, agreement or other
papers that may be necessary or desirable in order to create, preserve, perfect,
substantiate or validate any security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement or to
enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and the rights of Purchaser
hereunder with respect to such security interest. To the extent permitted by applicable
law, Pledgor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to execute and file, in the name of
Pledgor or otherwise, UCC financing or continuation statements (which may be carbon,
photographic, photostatic or other reproductions of this Agreement or of a financing
statement relating to this Agreement) which the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem
necessary or appropriate to further perfect, or maintain the perfection of, the security
interests granted hereby.
(h) Certain Notices. Pledgor agrees, reasonably promptly in advance of the
consummation of a Reorganization Event, Spin-Off Distribution or event or occurrence giving

substitution for Prior Collateral, it shall (i) give written notice from an Authorized
Representative to the Collateral Agent identifying the Prior Collateral to be released from
the Lien created by this Agreement, (ii) deliver to the Collateral Agent concurrently with

Pledgor hereby covenants and agrees to pay all fees, taxes and expenses related to the

actions necessary to create for the benefit of the Collateral Agent a valid, first priority
perfected security interest in, and a first lien upon, such Eligible Collateral deposited
with the Collateral Agent in substitution for Prior Collateral.
(c) No such substitution shall be made unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have
determined that the aggregate Pledge Value of all of the Collateral at the time
of such proposed substitution, after giving effect to the proposed substitution, shall
at least equal the Pledge Value Requirement.

Representative, and dated the date of such delivery, (A) identifying the items of additional
Eligible Collateral being pledged and (B) certifying that with respect to such items of additional
Pledged Collateral the representations and warranties contained in Exhibit C are true and
correct on and as of the date of such certificate, and (ii) an opinion, dated the date of such
delivery, of counsel addressed to the Collateral Agent confirming the representations contained in
the first sentence of paragraph 2(a) of Exhibit C insofar as it relates to securities laws

agrees to take all actions required under Section 5.4 and any other actions necessary to create for
the benefit of the Collateral Agent a valid, first priority perfected security interest in, and a
first lien upon, such additional Eligible Collateral.
Section 5.4 Delivery of Collateral. Pledgor shall deliver the Collateral to the
Collateral Agent in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) Pledged U.S. Government Securities. In the case of Collateral consisting
of U.S. Government Securities, by transfer of such U.S. Government Securities through the
Book Entry System of the Federal Reserve System to the account of the Collateral Agent or to
an account (other than an account of Pledgor) designated by the Collateral Agent; and
(b) Pledged Marketable Securities or Class B Common Stock. In the case of
Collateral consisting of Marketable Securities or Class B Common Stock, by either (1)
delivery of certificates evidencing such securities, registered in the name of the
Collateral Agent or its nominee or duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by stock powers
duly executed in blank, or (2) if such securities are not held in certificated form but are
held in book-entry form by The Depository Trust Company or any other comparable depositary,
by transfer to an account of the Collateral Agent or to an account (other than an account of
Pledgor) designated by the Collateral Agent or to an account (other than an account of
Pledgor) designated by the Collateral Agent with The Depository Trust Company or such other
depositary, as applicable. Each such delivery of Marketable Securities or Class B Common
Stock shall be accompanied by an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Collateral Agent
that the Collateral Agent has obtained a valid, first priority perfected security interest
in, and a first lien upon, such securities.
(c) Delivery of Other Property. In the case of Collateral consisting of
property other than Common Stock, U.S. Government Securities or Marketable Securities, by
any and all action necessary for the Collateral Agent to obtain a valid, first priority
perfected security interest in, and a first lien upon, such property. Each such delivery of
such property shall be accompanied by an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent that the Collateral Agent has obtained a valid, first priority perfected
security interest in, and a first lien upon, such property. For the avoidance of
doubt, no such other property shall constitute Eligible Collateral.
11
Upon delivery of any Pledged Item under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall examine
such Pledged Item and any opinions and certificates and other instruments delivered pursuant to
Sections 5.2 or 5.3, this Section 5.4 or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in
connection therewith to determine that they comply as to from with the requirements for Eligible
Collateral. Pledgor hereby designates the Collateral Agent as the Person in whose name any
Collateral held in book-entry form in the Federal Reserve System shall be registered.
Section 5.5 Insufficiency Determination.
(a) If as of 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day the Collateral Agent
determines that the aggregate Pledge Value of the Collateral is less than the Pledge Value
Requirement (any such determination, an “Insufficiency Determination”), the
Collateral Agent shall promptly notify Pledgor of such determination by telephone call to an
Authorized Representative of Pledgor followed by a written confirmation of such call.
(b) If, by 4:00 p.m., New York City time on the fifth Business Day following the day on
which written notice shall have been given pursuant to the preceding paragraph 5.5(a),
Pledgor shall have failed to deliver, in the manner set forth in Sections 5.3 and 5.4,
sufficient additional Eligible Collateral so that, after giving effect to such delivery, the
aggregate Pledge Value of the Collateral, as of 4:00 p.m., New York City time on the fifth
Business Day, is at least equal to the Pledge Value Requirement, then (x) the Collateral
Requirement with respect to any U.S. Government Securities pledged hereunder (other than in
respect of Cash Delivery Obligations) shall be increased from 150% to 200%, and (y) unless a
Collateral Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent
shall:
(i) commence sales, in the matter described in Section 5.5(c), of such portion
of the Collateral consisting of U.S. Government Securities as may be required to be
sold in order to generate proceeds sufficient to purchase shares of Common Stock or,
after a Reorganization Event or Spin-Off Distribution, Marketable Securities of the
applicable type as described in the following clause (ii); and
(ii) commence purchases, in the matter described in Section 5.5(c), of shares
of Common Stock or, after a Reorganization Event or Spin-Off Distribution,
Marketable Securities of the applicable type, in an amount sufficient to cause the
aggregate Pledge Value of the Collateral to be at least equal to the Pledge Value
Requirement.
12
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall discontinue sales and purchases
pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), respectively, if at any time a Collateral Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The Collateral Agent shall determine
the Market Value and the Pledge Value of the Collateral after each purchase of shares of
Common Stock or Marketable Securities pursuant to the preceding clause (ii) in order to determine
whether the Pledge Value Requirement is met and whether a Collateral Event of Default has occurred.
Solely for purposes of such calculation, the Market Value of the shares of Common Stock or
Marketable Securities shall be: (A) the most recent sales price as reported in the composite
transactions for the principal securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock or
Marketable Securities, as the case may be, are then listed or, if such securities are not so
listed, the last quoted ask price for such securities as reported by Pink OTC Markets Inc. or a
similar organization; or (B) if higher, in the case of Common Stock, the most recent available
Closing Price.
(c) Collateral sold and shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities purchased by
the Collateral Agent pursuant to the preceding Sections 5.5(a) and (b) may be sold and
purchased on any securities exchange or in any over-the-counter market or in any private
purchase transaction, and at such price or prices, in each case as the Collateral Agent may
deem satisfactory. Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will execute and deliver such
documents, pay all fees and transfer taxes and take such other action as the Collateral
Agent deems necessary or advisable in order that any such sales and purchases may be made in
compliance with law.
Section 5.6 Release of Excess Collateral. (a) If on any Business Day the Collateral
Agent determines that the aggregate Pledge Value of Pledgor’s Eligible Collateral exceeds the
Pledge Value Requirement and no Event of Default or failure by Pledgor to meet any of its
obligations under Articles IV or V has occurred and is continuing, Pledgor may obtain the release
from the Lien created by this Agreement of any Collateral having an aggregate Pledge Value on such
Business Day less than or equal to such excess, upon delivery to the Collateral Agent of a written
notice from an Authorized Representative of Pledgor indicating the items of Collateral to be
released. Such Collateral shall be released only after the Collateral Agent shall have determined
that the aggregate Pledge Value of all of the Collateral remaining after such release as determined
on such Business Day is at least equal to the Pledge Value Requirement.
(b) If directed by the Trust upon Pledgor’s transfer of Securities to the Trust, free
and clear of any Liens and Transfer Restrictions, for cancellation pursuant to Section
2.3(e) of the Contract, the Collateral Agent shall release to the Pledgor the Collateral
associated with the cancelled Securities and thereafter the Maximum Deliverable Number
hereunder shall be adjusted accordingly.
Section 5.7 Delivery of Contract Consideration. On the Exchange Date, unless (i) a
Reorganization Event shall have occurred prior to the Exchange Date or (ii) if permitted under the
Contract, Pledgor shall have elected the Cash Settlement Alternative pursuant to Section 2.3(d) of
the Contract and made the cash payment required by that Section, the Collateral Agent shall deliver
to Purchaser from the shares of Common Stock and, if a Spin-Off Distribution has occurred,
Marketable Securities then held by it hereunder representing the number of shares of Common Stock
and Marketable Securities that were distributed in such Spin-Off Distribution then required to be
delivered by Pledgor under the Contract. If a Reorganization Event shall have occurred prior to
the Exchange Date, then (A) if so instructed by Pledgor by the close of business on the Business
Day preceding the Exchange Date, the
13
Collateral Agent shall deliver to Purchaser, to the extent Marketable Securities are to be
delivered on such date under Section 6.2 of the Contract, the Marketable Securities then held by
the Collateral Agent hereunder; and (B) if such Reorganization Event is a Cash Merger, the
Collateral Agent shall deliver to Purchaser all cash or other assets then held by the Collateral
Agent and required to be delivered under the Contract at the time when such delivery is required to
be made under the Contract. Upon such delivery, Purchaser shall hold such shares of Common Stock
or Marketable Securities, cash or other property, as the case may be, absolutely and free from any
claim or right whatsoever.
Section 5.8 Investment of Cash Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall invest any cash
received by it pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Contract (other than cash that is delivered to the
Purchaser as part of the Accelerated Portion in the event of a Cash Merger) in U.S. Government
Securities maturing before December 31, 2013 as directed by the Managing Trustee.
Section 5.9 Limitations on Further Pledge of Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall
not rehypothecate, pledge or otherwise transfer any of the Collateral except as expressly provided
in this Agreement.
ARTICLE VI
INCOME AND VOTING RIGHTS ON COLLATERAL
Section 6.1 Income on Collateral. Unless an Event of Default or failure by Pledgor to
meet any of its obligations under Article IV or V has occurred and is continuing, Pledgor shall be
entitled to receive for its own account all dividends, interest and, if any, principal and premium
relating to all of the Collateral if permitted and in accordance with the requirements of Section
5.6. The Collateral Agent agrees to remit to Pledgor on the Business Day received or the first
Business Day thereafter all such payments received by it. If an Event of Default or failure by
Pledgor to meet any of its obligations under Article IV or V has occurred and is continuing, all
such payments made or accrued after and during the continuance of such default or failure shall be
retained by the Collateral Agent, and any such payments which are received by Pledgor shall be
received in trust for the benefit of Purchaser, shall be segregated from other funds of Pledgor and
shall forthwith be paid over to the Collateral Agent. Any such payments so retained by, or paid
over to, the Collateral Agent shall be held by the Collateral Agent as Collateral hereunder.
Section 6.2 Voting of Collateral. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Pledgor shall have the right, from time to time, to vote and to give consents,
ratifications and waivers with respect to the Collateral, and the Collateral Agent shall deliver to
Pledgor or as specified in such request such proxies, powers of attorney, consents, ratifications
and waivers in respect of any of the Collateral which is registered in the name of the Collateral
Agent or its nominee as shall be specified in such request and be in form and substance
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to the extent permitted by law, and Pledgor
shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to give effect to such right, to vote
and to give consents, ratifications and waivers, and take any other action with respect to any or
all of the Collateral with the same force and effect as if the Collateral Agent were the
absolute and sole owner of the Collateral and, in such event, shall take any such actions in
accordance with written instructions of the Managing Trustee.
14
ARTICLE VII
REMEDIES UPON EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Section 7.1 Rights of Secured Party. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise on behalf of Purchaser all the rights of a secured
party under the UCC (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights are exercised)
and, in addition, without being required to give any notice, except as provided in this Agreement
or as may be required by mandatory provisions of law, shall: (i) deliver all Collateral consisting
of shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities (but not, in either case, in excess of the
number of shares deliverable under the Contract at such time) or other property to Purchaser on the
date of such Event of Default (in either case, the “Delivery Date”), whereupon Purchaser
shall hold such shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities or other property absolutely free
from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of Pledgor
which may be waived, and Pledgor, to the extent permitted by law, hereby specifically waives all
rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any law now existing or
hereafter adopted; and (ii) if such delivery shall be insufficient to satisfy in full all of the
obligations of Pledgor under the Contract, sell all of the remaining Collateral, or such lesser
portion of the remaining Collateral as may be necessary to generate proceeds sufficient to satisfy
in full all of the obligations of Pledgor under the Contract, at public or private sale or at any
broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and at
such price or prices as the Collateral Agent may deem satisfactory. Pledgor covenants and agrees
that it will execute and deliver such documents and take such other action as the Collateral Agent
deems necessary or advisable in order that any such sales may be made with the least amount of
costs and taxes and in compliance with law. Upon any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the
right to deliver, assign and transfer the Collateral so sold to the purchaser of such Collateral.
Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold absolutely and free from any
claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of Pledgor which may
be waived, and Pledgor, to the extent permitted by law, hereby specifically waives all rights of
redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any law now existing or hereafter
adopted. The notice (if any) of such sale required by Article 9 of the UCC shall (1) in case of a
public sale, state the time and place fixed for such sale, (2) in case of sale at a broker’s board
or on a securities exchange, state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the
day on which the Collateral, or the portion of such Collateral so being sold, will first be offered
for sale at such board or exchange, and (3) in the case of a private sale, state the day after
which such sale may be consummated. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within
ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix in the notice
of such sale. At any such sale the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate
parcels, as the Collateral Agent may determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to
make any such sale pursuant to any such notice. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or
publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time
by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or
place to which the same
15
may be so adjourned. In case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or
for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the
selling price is paid by the purchaser of such Collateral, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur
any liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so
sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice. The
Collateral Agent, instead of exercising the power of sale conferred upon it in this Agreement, may
proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose the security interests and sell the
Collateral, or any portion of such Collateral, under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of
competent jurisdiction.
Section 7.2 Power of Attorney. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, upon any delivery or sale of all or any part of any Collateral made either under the
power of delivery or sale given hereunder or under judgment or decree in any judicial proceedings
for foreclosure or otherwise for the enforcement of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent is hereby
irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney of Pledgor, in the name and stead of Pledgor, to
make all necessary deeds, bills of sale and instruments of assignment, transfer or conveyance of
the property thus delivered or sold. For that purpose the Collateral Agent may execute all such
documents and instruments. This power of attorney shall be deemed coupled with an interest, and
Pledgor hereby ratifies and confirms all that its attorneys acting under such power, or such
attorneys’ successors or agents, shall lawfully do by virtue of this Agreement. If so requested by
the Collateral Agent, by the Trustees or by any purchaser of the Collateral or a portion of the
Collateral, Pledgor shall further ratify and confirm any such delivery or sale by executing and
delivering to the Collateral Agent, to the Trustees or to such purchaser or purchasers at the
expense of Pledgor all proper deeds, bills of sale, instruments of assignment, conveyance of
transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request.
Section 7.3 Application of Collateral and Proceeds. In the case of an Event of
Default, the Collateral Agent may proceed to realize upon the security interest in the Collateral
against anyone or more of the types of Collateral, at anyone time, as the Collateral Agent shall
determine in its sole discretion subject to the foregoing provisions of this Article VII. The
proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, or other receipt from, any such Collateral
shall be applied by the Collateral Agent in the following order of priorities: first, to the
payment to the Collateral Agent of the expenses of such sale or other realization, including
reasonable compensation to the Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel, and all expenses,
liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith,
including brokerage fees in connection with the sale by the Collateral Agent of any Pledged Item;
second, to the payment to Purchaser of an amount equal to: (A) the aggregate Market Value of a
number of shares of Common Stock and, if a Spin-Off Distribution has occurred, Marketable
Securities distributed in such Spin-Off Distribution equal to (1) the number of shares of Common
Stock or Marketable Securities, as the case may be, required to be delivered under the Contract on
the Delivery Date minus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities, as the
case may be, delivered by the Collateral Agent to Purchaser on the Delivery Date as described
above; or (B) from and after a Reorganization Event, the sum of (1) the Cash Delivery Obligations
on the Delivery Date and (2) the aggregate Market Value on the Delivery Date of a number of
Marketable Securities distributed in such Reorganization Event equal to (x) the number of such
Marketable Securities permitted to be delivered on the Delivery Date under Section 6.2 of the
Contract minus (y) the number of such Marketable Securities delivered by the
16
Collateral Agent to Purchaser on the Delivery Date as described above; together with, in
either of cases (A) and (B), any amounts due to Purchaser from Pledgor pursuant to Section
2.4(i)(ii) of the Trust Agreement; and finally, if all of the obligations of Pledgor hereunder and
under the Contract have been fully discharged or sufficient funds have been set aside by the
Collateral Agent at the request of Pledgor for the discharge of such obligations, any remaining
proceeds shall be released to Pledgor.
ARTICLE VIII
THE COLLATERAL AGENT
Section 8.1 Conditions to Duties of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent
accepts its duties and responsibilities hereunder as agent for Purchaser, on and subject to the
following terms and conditions:
(a) Performance of Duties. The Collateral Agent undertakes to perform such
duties and only such duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and, beyond the
exercise of reasonable care in the performance of such duties, no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Collateral Agent. No provision of
this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Collateral Agent from liability for a
breach of its obligations under this Agreement or its own grossly negligent action, grossly
negligent failure to act, bad faith, wilful misconduct or reckless disregard of its duties.
In performing its duties, the following shall apply:
(i) The Collateral Agent may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of
such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of
an action taken or suffered hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such
advice or opinion of counsel.
(ii) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it in good faith (i) reasonably believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred on it by this
Agreement or (ii) in accordance with any direction or request of the Trustees.
(iii) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment made
in good faith by any of its officers, unless the Collateral Agent was grossly
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
(iv) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Collateral Agent may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
opinions expressed therein, upon any note, notice, resolution, consent, certificate,
affidavit, letter, telegram, teletype message, statement, order or other document
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the
proper Person or Persons.
(v) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Collateral Agent to expend
or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance
of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights
or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of
such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it.
17
(vi) The Collateral Agent may perform any duties hereunder either directly or
by or through agents or attorneys, and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible
for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with
due care by it hereunder. In furtherance of the preceding sentence, any subsidiary
owned or controlled by the Collateral Agent, or its successors, as agent for the
Collateral Agent, may perform any or all of the duties of the Collateral Agent
relating to the valuation of securities and other instruments constituting
Collateral hereunder.
(vii) In no event shall the Collateral Agent be personally liable for any taxes
or other governmental charges imposed upon or in respect of (i) the Collateral or
(ii) the income or other distributions thereon.
(viii) Unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received notice from
Pledgor, Purchaser or any other Person, or unless and until a Responsible Officer of
the Collateral Agent shall have actual knowledge to the contrary, the Collateral
Agent shall be entitled to deem and treat all Collateral delivered to it hereunder
as Eligible Collateral hereunder, provided that the Collateral Agent has carried out
the duties specified in Article V with respect to such Collateral at the time of
delivery of such Collateral.
The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the correctness of the recitals and
statements in this Agreement that are made by Pledgor or for any statement or certificate delivered
by Pledgor pursuant to this Agreement, provided that the Collateral Agent has carried out the
duties specified in Article V with respect to such Collateral at the time of delivery of such
Collateral. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not be
responsible for the validity, sufficiency, collectibility or marketability of any Collateral given
to or held by it hereunder or for the validity or sufficiency of the Contract or the Lien on the
Collateral purported to be created hereby.
(b) Knowledge. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of
any Event of Default (except a Collateral Event of Default), unless and until a Responsible
Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have actual knowledge of such Event of Default or the
Collateral Agent shall have received written notice, delivered in accordance with Section
9.3, of such Event of Default. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge
of any Spin-Off Distribution, Reorganization Event or Dilution Adjustment unless and until a
Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have actual knowledge of such event or the
Collateral Agent shall have received written notice.
(c) Following an Event of Default by Pledgor, the Collateral Agent shall exercise such
remedies as provided in Article VII, Section 6.2 and as permitted at law in accordance with
the written instructions of the Managing Trustee.
18
Section 8.2 Merger. Any corporation or association into which the Collateral Agent
may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or
transfer its agency business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation
or association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which
it is a party, shall be and become the successor Collateral Agent hereunder and vested with all of
the title to the Collateral and all of the powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and other
matters as was its predecessor without, except as provided above, the execution or filing of any
instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of the parties to this
Agreement, anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 8.3 Resignation. Subject to Section 8.5, the Collateral Agent and any
successor Collateral Agent may at any time resign by giving 30 days’ written notice by registered
or certified mail to Pledgor and notice to Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of Section
9.3.
Section 8.4 Removal.
(a) Subject to Section 8.5, the Collateral Agent may be removed at any time by an
instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Collateral Agent and to
Pledgor and signed by Purchaser.
(b) Subject to Section 8.5, the Collateral Agent shall be removed immediately upon (i)
termination of the Trust Agreement, (ii) termination of the Administration Agreement (as
defined in the Trust Agreement), (iii) termination of the Paying Agent Agreement (as defined
in the Trust Agreement), (iv) termination of the Custodian Agreement (as defined in the
Trust Agreement), or the resignation or removal of the Administrator, the Paying Agent or
the Custodian (in each case as defined in the Trust Agreement).
Section 8.5 Effectiveness of Resignation or Removal. No resignation or removal of the
Collateral Agent shall be effective until a successor Collateral Agent shall have been appointed
and shall have accepted the duties of the Collateral Agent. If, within 30 days after notice by the
Collateral Agent to the Trust or by the Trust to the Collateral Agent of any such resignation or
removal, no successor Collateral Agent shall have been selected and accepted the duties of the
Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Collateral Agent.
Section 8.6 Appointment of Successor.
(a) If the Collateral Agent hereunder shall resign or be removed, or be dissolved or
shall be in the course of dissolution or liquidation or otherwise become incapable of action
hereunder, or if it shall be taken under the control of any public officer or officers or of
a receiver appointed by a court, a successor may be appointed by Purchaser by an instrument
or concurrent instruments in writing signed by Purchaser or by its attorneys in fact duly
authorized. A copy of such instrument or concurrent instruments shall be sent by registered
mail to Pledgor.
19
(b) Every such temporary or permanent successor Collateral Agent appointed pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement shall be a trust company or bank in good standing, having a
reported capital, surplus and retained earnings of not less than $100,000,000 and capable of
holding the Collateral in the State of New York, if there be such an institution willing,
qualified and able to accept the duties of the Collateral Agent hereunder upon customary
terms.
Section 8.7 Acceptance by Successor. Every temporary or permanent successor
Collateral Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and
also to Pledgor and Purchaser an instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder,
whereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested
with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessors. Such
predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of its successor or Pledgor, execute and
deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all the estates, properties, rights and powers
of such predecessor hereunder. Every predecessor Collateral Agent shall deliver all Collateral
held by it as the Collateral Agent hereunder to its successor. Should any instrument in writing
from Pledgor be required by a successor Collateral Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in
such successor the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby vested or
intended to be vested in the predecessor, any and all such instruments in writing shall, at the
request of the temporary or permanent successor Collateral Agent, be forthwith executed,
acknowledged and delivered by Pledgor.
Section 8.8 Compensation. For services to be rendered by the Collateral Agent
pursuant to this Agreement, the Administrator shall receive only such fees and expenses as shall be
paid to it pursuant to the terms of the Indemnity Agreement and shall have no recourse to the
assets of Purchaser for the payment of any such amounts.
Section 8.9 Indemnification. The Trust shall indemnify and hold the Collateral Agent,
its agents, servants, officers, employees and directors, harmless from and against any loss,
damages, cost or expense (including the costs of investigation, preparation for and defense of
legal and/or administrative proceedings related to a claim against it and reasonable attorneys’
fees and disbursements), liability or claim incurred by reason of any inaccuracy in information
furnished to the Collateral Agent by the Trust or the Pledgor, or any act or omission in the course
of, connected with or arising out of any services to be rendered hereunder; provided that
the Collateral Agent shall not be indemnified and held harmless from and against any such loss,
damages, cost, expense, liability or claim incurred by reason of its breach of its obligations
under this Agreement, willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its
duties, or its reckless disregard of its duties and obligations hereunder. Such indemnity shall
survive the resignation, removal or discharge of the Collateral Agent and the termination of this
Agreement.
20
ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 9.1 Termination. This Agreement and the rights hereby granted by Pledgor in
the Collateral shall cease, terminate and be void upon fulfillment of all of the
obligations of Pledgor under the Contract, and Pledgor shall have no further liability
hereunder upon such termination. Any Collateral remaining at the time of such termination
(including any shares of Common Stock held following Pledgor’s election of the Cash Settlement
Alternative and payment in respect of the Cash Settlement Alternative pursuant to the Contract),
shall be fully released and discharged from the Lien created by this Agreement and delivered to
Pledgor by the Collateral Agent, all at the expense of Pledgor.
Section 9.2 No Assumption of Liability. By executing this Agreement, none of the
Trustees assumes any personal liability under this Agreement. The Trust Agreement was executed or

personal representative of the estate of any deceased Grantor, such personal representative shall
enter into an agreement assuming all of the obligations of this Agreement and agreeing not to

If a Spin-Off Distribution occurs and thereafter any transaction with respect to the issuer

papers that may be necessary or desirable in order to create, preserve, perfect,
substantiate or validate any security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement or to

actions necessary to create for the benefit of the Collateral Agent a valid, first priority
perfected security interest in, and a first lien upon, such Eligible Collateral deposited
with the Collateral Agent in substitution for Prior Collateral.

Section 5.3 Additional Collateral. Pledgor may pledge additional Collateral hereunder
at any time and shall pledge additional collateral when required under this Agreement.

an account (other than an account of Pledgor) designated by the Collateral Agent; and
(b) Pledged Marketable Securities or Class B Common Stock. In the case of

Pledgor) designated by the Collateral Agent or to an account (other than an account of
Pledgor) designated by the Collateral Agent with The Depository Trust Company or such other
depositary, as applicable. Each such delivery of Marketable Securities or Class B Common
Stock shall be accompanied by an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Collateral Agent
that the Collateral Agent has obtained a valid, first priority perfected security interest
in, and a first lien upon, such securities.
(c) Delivery of Other Property. In the case of Collateral consisting of
property other than Common Stock, U.S. Government Securities or Marketable Securities, by
any and all action necessary for the Collateral Agent to obtain a valid, first priority
perfected security interest in, and a first lien upon, such property. Each such delivery of
such property shall be accompanied by an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent that the Collateral Agent has obtained a valid, first priority perfected
security interest in, and a first lien upon, such property. For the avoidance of
doubt, no such other property shall constitute Eligible Collateral.
11
Upon delivery of any Pledged Item under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall examine

Collateral held in book-entry form in the Federal Reserve System shall be registered.
Section 5.5 Insufficiency Determination.
(a) If as of 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day the Collateral Agent
determines that the aggregate Pledge Value of the Collateral is less than the Pledge Value
Requirement (any such determination, an “Insufficiency Determination”), the
Collateral Agent shall promptly notify Pledgor of such determination by telephone call to an
Authorized Representative of Pledgor followed by a written confirmation of such call.
(b) If, by 4:00 p.m., New York City time on the fifth Business Day following the day on
which written notice shall have been given pursuant to the preceding paragraph 5.5(a),
Pledgor shall have failed to deliver, in the manner set forth in Sections 5.3 and 5.4,
sufficient additional Eligible Collateral so that, after giving effect to such delivery, the
aggregate Pledge Value of the Collateral, as of 4:00 p.m., New York City time on the fifth
Business Day, is at least equal to the Pledge Value Requirement, then (x) the Collateral
Requirement with respect to any U.S. Government Securities pledged hereunder (other than in
respect of Cash Delivery Obligations) shall be increased from 150% to 200%, and (y) unless a
Collateral Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent
shall:
(i) commence sales, in the matter described in Section 5.5(c), of such portion
of the Collateral consisting of U.S. Government Securities as may be required to be
sold in order to generate proceeds sufficient to purchase shares of Common Stock or,
after a Reorganization Event or Spin-Off Distribution, Marketable Securities of the
applicable type as described in the following clause (ii); and
(ii) commence purchases, in the matter described in Section 5.5(c), of shares
of Common Stock or, after a Reorganization Event or Spin-Off Distribution,
Marketable Securities of the applicable type, in an amount sufficient to cause the
aggregate Pledge Value of the Collateral to be at least equal to the Pledge Value
Requirement.
12
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall discontinue sales and purchases
pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), respectively, if at any time a Collateral Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The Collateral Agent shall determine
the Market Value and the Pledge Value of the Collateral after each purchase of shares of
Common Stock or Marketable Securities pursuant to the preceding clause (ii) in order to determine
whether the Pledge Value Requirement is met and whether a Collateral Event of Default has occurred.
Solely for purposes of such calculation, the Market Value of the shares of Common Stock or
Marketable Securities shall be: (A) the most recent sales price as reported in the composite
transactions for the principal securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock or
Marketable Securities, as the case may be, are then listed or, if such securities are not so
listed, the last quoted ask price for such securities as reported by Pink OTC Markets Inc. or a
similar organization; or (B) if higher, in the case of Common Stock, the most recent available
Closing Price.
(c) Collateral sold and shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities purchased by
the Collateral Agent pursuant to the preceding Sections 5.5(a) and (b) may be sold and
purchased on any securities exchange or in any over-the-counter market or in any private
purchase transaction, and at such price or prices, in each case as the Collateral Agent may
deem satisfactory. Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will execute and deliver such
documents, pay all fees and transfer taxes and take such other action as the Collateral
Agent deems necessary or advisable in order that any such sales and purchases may be made in
compliance with law.
Section 5.6 Release of Excess Collateral. (a) If on any Business Day the Collateral
Agent determines that the aggregate Pledge Value of Pledgor’s Eligible Collateral exceeds the
Pledge Value Requirement and no Event of Default or failure by Pledgor to meet any of its
obligations under Articles IV or V has occurred and is continuing, Pledgor may obtain the release
from the Lien created by this Agreement of any Collateral having an aggregate Pledge Value on such
Business Day less than or equal to such excess, upon delivery to the Collateral Agent of a written
notice from an Authorized Representative of Pledgor indicating the items of Collateral to be
released. Such Collateral shall be released only after the Collateral Agent shall have determined
that the aggregate Pledge Value of all of the Collateral remaining after such release as determined
on such Business Day is at least equal to the Pledge Value Requirement.
(b) If directed by the Trust upon Pledgor’s transfer of Securities to the Trust, free
and clear of any Liens and Transfer Restrictions, for cancellation pursuant to Section
2.3(e) of the Contract, the Collateral Agent shall release to the Pledgor the Collateral
associated with the cancelled Securities and thereafter the Maximum Deliverable Number
hereunder shall be adjusted accordingly.
Section 5.7 Delivery of Contract Consideration. On the Exchange Date, unless (i) a
Reorganization Event shall have occurred prior to the Exchange Date or (ii) if permitted under the
Contract, Pledgor shall have elected the Cash Settlement Alternative pursuant to Section 2.3(d) of
the Contract and made the cash payment required by that Section, the Collateral Agent shall deliver
to Purchaser from the shares of Common Stock and, if a Spin-Off Distribution has occurred,
Marketable Securities then held by it hereunder representing the number of shares of Common Stock
and Marketable Securities that were distributed in such Spin-Off Distribution then required to be
delivered by Pledgor under the Contract. If a Reorganization Event shall have occurred prior to
the Exchange Date, then (A) if so instructed by Pledgor by the close of business on the Business
Day preceding the Exchange Date, the
Collateral Agent shall deliver to Purchaser, to the extent Marketable Securities are to be
delivered on such date under Section 6.2 of the Contract, the Marketable Securities then held by
the Collateral Agent hereunder; and (B) if such Reorganization Event is a Cash Merger, the
Collateral Agent shall deliver to Purchaser all cash or other assets then held by the Collateral
Agent and required to be delivered under the Contract at the time when such delivery is required to
be made under the Contract. Upon such delivery, Purchaser shall hold such shares of Common Stock
or Marketable Securities, cash or other property, as the case may be, absolutely and free from any
claim or right whatsoever.
13
Section 5.8 Investment of Cash Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall invest any cash
received by it pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Contract (other than cash that is delivered to the
Purchaser as part of the Accelerated Portion in the event of a Cash Merger) in U.S. Government
Securities maturing before December 31, 2013 as directed by the Managing Trustee.
Section 5.9 Limitations on Further Pledge of Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall
not rehypothecate, pledge or otherwise transfer any of the Collateral except as expressly provided
in this Agreement.
ARTICLE VI
INCOME AND VOTING RIGHTS ON COLLATERAL
Section 6.1 Income on Collateral. Unless an Event of Default or failure by Pledgor to
meet any of its obligations under Article IV or V has occurred and is continuing, Pledgor shall be
entitled to receive for its own account all dividends, interest and, if any, principal and premium
relating to all of the Collateral if permitted and in accordance with the requirements of Section
5.6. The Collateral Agent agrees to remit to Pledgor on the Business Day received or the first
Business Day thereafter all such payments received by it. If an Event of Default or failure by
Pledgor to meet any of its obligations under Article IV or V has occurred and is continuing, all
such payments made or accrued after and during the continuance of such default or failure shall be
retained by the Collateral Agent, and any such payments which are received by Pledgor shall be
received in trust for the benefit of Purchaser, shall be segregated from other funds of Pledgor and
shall forthwith be paid over to the Collateral Agent. Any such payments so retained by, or paid
over to, the Collateral Agent shall be held by the Collateral Agent as Collateral hereunder.
Section 6.2 Voting of Collateral. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Pledgor shall have the right, from time to time, to vote and to give consents,
ratifications and waivers with respect to the Collateral, and the Collateral Agent shall deliver to
Pledgor or as specified in such request such proxies, powers of attorney, consents, ratifications
and waivers in respect of any of the Collateral which is registered in the name of the Collateral
Agent or its nominee as shall be specified in such request and be in form and substance
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to the extent permitted by law, and Pledgor
shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to give effect to such right, to vote
and to give consents, ratifications and waivers, and take any other action with respect to any or
all of the Collateral with the same force and effect as if the Collateral Agent were the
absolute and sole owner of the Collateral and, in such event, shall take any such actions in
accordance with written instructions of the Managing Trustee.
14
ARTICLE VII
REMEDIES UPON EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Section 7.1 Rights of Secured Party. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise on behalf of Purchaser all the rights of a secured
party under the UCC (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights are exercised)
and, in addition, without being required to give any notice, except as provided in this Agreement
or as may be required by mandatory provisions of law, shall: (i) deliver all Collateral consisting
of shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities (but not, in either case, in excess of the
number of shares deliverable under the Contract at such time) or other property to Purchaser on the
date of such Event of Default (in either case, the “Delivery Date”), whereupon Purchaser
shall hold such shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities or other property absolutely free
from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of Pledgor
which may be waived, and Pledgor, to the extent permitted by law, hereby specifically waives all
rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any law now existing or
hereafter adopted; and (ii) if such delivery shall be insufficient to satisfy in full all of the
obligations of Pledgor under the Contract, sell all of the remaining Collateral, or such lesser
portion of the remaining Collateral as may be necessary to generate proceeds sufficient to satisfy
in full all of the obligations of Pledgor under the Contract, at public or private sale or at any
broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and at
such price or prices as the Collateral Agent may deem satisfactory. Pledgor covenants and agrees
that it will execute and deliver such documents and take such other action as the Collateral Agent
deems necessary or advisable in order that any such sales may be made with the least amount of
costs and taxes and in compliance with law. Upon any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the
right to deliver, assign and transfer the Collateral so sold to the purchaser of such Collateral.
Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold absolutely and free from any
claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of Pledgor which may
be waived, and Pledgor, to the extent permitted by law, hereby specifically waives all rights of
redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any law now existing or hereafter
adopted. The notice (if any) of such sale required by Article 9 of the UCC shall (1) in case of a
public sale, state the time and place fixed for such sale, (2) in case of sale at a broker’s board
or on a securities exchange, state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the
day on which the Collateral, or the portion of such Collateral so being sold, will first be offered
for sale at such board or exchange, and (3) in the case of a private sale, state the day after
which such sale may be consummated. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within
ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix in the notice
of such sale. At any such sale the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate
parcels, as the Collateral Agent may determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to
make any such sale pursuant to any such notice. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or
publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time
by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or
place to which the same
may be so adjourned. In case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or
for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the
selling price is paid by the purchaser of such Collateral, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur
any liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so
sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice. The
Collateral Agent, instead of exercising the power of sale conferred upon it in this Agreement, may
proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose the security interests and sell the
Collateral, or any portion of such Collateral, under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of
competent jurisdiction.
15
Section 7.2 Power of Attorney. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, upon any delivery or sale of all or any part of any Collateral made either under the
power of delivery or sale given hereunder or under judgment or decree in any judicial proceedings
for foreclosure or otherwise for the enforcement of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent is hereby
irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney of Pledgor, in the name and stead of Pledgor, to
make all necessary deeds, bills of sale and instruments of assignment, transfer or conveyance of
the property thus delivered or sold. For that purpose the Collateral Agent may execute all such
documents and instruments. This power of attorney shall be deemed coupled with an interest, and
Pledgor hereby ratifies and confirms all that its attorneys acting under such power, or such
attorneys’ successors or agents, shall lawfully do by virtue of this Agreement. If so requested by
the Collateral Agent, by the Trustees or by any purchaser of the Collateral or a portion of the
Collateral, Pledgor shall further ratify and confirm any such delivery or sale by executing and
delivering to the Collateral Agent, to the Trustees or to such purchaser or purchasers at the
expense of Pledgor all proper deeds, bills of sale, instruments of assignment, conveyance of
transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request.
Section 7.3 Application of Collateral and Proceeds. In the case of an Event of
Default, the Collateral Agent may proceed to realize upon the security interest in the Collateral
against anyone or more of the types of Collateral, at anyone time, as the Collateral Agent shall
determine in its sole discretion subject to the foregoing provisions of this Article VII. The
proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, or other receipt from, any such Collateral
shall be applied by the Collateral Agent in the following order of priorities: first, to the
payment to the Collateral Agent of the expenses of such sale or other realization, including
reasonable compensation to the Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel, and all expenses,
liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith,
including brokerage fees in connection with the sale by the Collateral Agent of any Pledged Item;
second, to the payment to Purchaser of an amount equal to: (A) the aggregate Market Value of a
number of shares of Common Stock and, if a Spin-Off Distribution has occurred, Marketable
Securities distributed in such Spin-Off Distribution equal to (1) the number of shares of Common
Stock or Marketable Securities, as the case may be, required to be delivered under the Contract on
the Delivery Date minus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities, as the
case may be, delivered by the Collateral Agent to Purchaser on the Delivery Date as described
above; or (B) from and after a Reorganization Event, the sum of (1) the Cash Delivery Obligations
on the Delivery Date and (2) the aggregate Market Value on the Delivery Date of a number of
Marketable Securities distributed in such Reorganization Event equal to (x) the number of such
Marketable Securities permitted to be delivered on the Delivery Date under Section 6.2 of the
Contract minus (y) the number of such Marketable Securities delivered by the
Collateral Agent to Purchaser on the Delivery Date as described above; together with, in
either of cases (A) and (B), any amounts due to Purchaser from Pledgor pursuant to Section
2.4(i)(ii) of the Trust Agreement; and finally, if all of the obligations of Pledgor hereunder and
under the Contract have been fully discharged or sufficient funds have been set aside by the
Collateral Agent at the request of Pledgor for the discharge of such obligations, any remaining
proceeds shall be released to Pledgor.
16
ARTICLE VIII
THE COLLATERAL AGENT
Section 8.1 Conditions to Duties of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent
accepts its duties and responsibilities hereunder as agent for Purchaser, on and subject to the
following terms and conditions:
(a) Performance of Duties. The Collateral Agent undertakes to perform such
duties and only such duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and, beyond the
exercise of reasonable care in the performance of such duties, no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Collateral Agent. No provision of
this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Collateral Agent from liability for a
breach of its obligations under this Agreement or its own grossly negligent action, grossly
negligent failure to act, bad faith, wilful misconduct or reckless disregard of its duties.
In performing its duties, the following shall apply:
(i) The Collateral Agent may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of
such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of
an action taken or suffered hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such
advice or opinion of counsel.
(ii) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it in good faith (i) reasonably believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred on it by this
Agreement or (ii) in accordance with any direction or request of the Trustees.
(iii) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment made
in good faith by any of its officers, unless the Collateral Agent was grossly
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
(iv) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Collateral Agent may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
opinions expressed therein, upon any note, notice, resolution, consent, certificate,
affidavit, letter, telegram, teletype message, statement, order or other document
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the
proper Person or Persons.
(v) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Collateral Agent to expend
or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance
of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights
or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of
such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it.
17
(vi) The Collateral Agent may perform any duties hereunder either directly or
by or through agents or attorneys, and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible
for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with
due care by it hereunder. In furtherance of the preceding sentence, any subsidiary
owned or controlled by the Collateral Agent, or its successors, as agent for the
Collateral Agent, may perform any or all of the duties of the Collateral Agent
relating to the valuation of securities and other instruments constituting
Collateral hereunder.
(vii) In no event shall the Collateral Agent be personally liable for any taxes
or other governmental charges imposed upon or in respect of (i) the Collateral or
(ii) the income or other distributions thereon.
(viii) Unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received notice from
Pledgor, Purchaser or any other Person, or unless and until a Responsible Officer of
the Collateral Agent shall have actual knowledge to the contrary, the Collateral
Agent shall be entitled to deem and treat all Collateral delivered to it hereunder
as Eligible Collateral hereunder, provided that the Collateral Agent has carried out
the duties specified in Article V with respect to such Collateral at the time of
delivery of such Collateral.
The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the correctness of the recitals and
statements in this Agreement that are made by Pledgor or for any statement or certificate delivered
by Pledgor pursuant to this Agreement, provided that the Collateral Agent has carried out the
duties specified in Article V with respect to such Collateral at the time of delivery of such
Collateral. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not be
responsible for the validity, sufficiency, collectibility or marketability of any Collateral given
to or held by it hereunder or for the validity or sufficiency of the Contract or the Lien on the
Collateral purported to be created hereby.
(b) Knowledge. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of
any Event of Default (except a Collateral Event of Default), unless and until a Responsible
Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have actual knowledge of such Event of Default or the
Collateral Agent shall have received written notice, delivered in accordance with Section
9.3, of such Event of Default. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge
of any Spin-Off Distribution, Reorganization Event or Dilution Adjustment unless and until a
Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have actual knowledge of such event or the
Collateral Agent shall have received written notice.
(c) Following an Event of Default by Pledgor, the Collateral Agent shall exercise such
remedies as provided in Article VII, Section 6.2 and as permitted at law in accordance with
the written instructions of the Managing Trustee.
18
Section 8.2 Merger. Any corporation or association into which the Collateral Agent
may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or
transfer its agency business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation
or association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which
it is a party, shall be and become the successor Collateral Agent hereunder and vested with all of
the title to the Collateral and all of the powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and other
matters as was its predecessor without, except as provided above, the execution or filing of any
instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of the parties to this
Agreement, anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 8.3 Resignation. Subject to Section 8.5, the Collateral Agent and any
successor Collateral Agent may at any time resign by giving 30 days’ written notice by registered
or certified mail to Pledgor and notice to Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of Section
9.3.
Section 8.4 Removal.
(a) Subject to Section 8.5, the Collateral Agent may be removed at any time by an
instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Collateral Agent and to
Pledgor and signed by Purchaser.
(b) Subject to Section 8.5, the Collateral Agent shall be removed immediately upon (i)
termination of the Trust Agreement, (ii) termination of the Administration Agreement (as
defined in the Trust Agreement), (iii) termination of the Paying Agent Agreement (as defined
in the Trust Agreement), (iv) termination of the Custodian Agreement (as defined in the
Trust Agreement), or the resignation or removal of the Administrator, the Paying Agent or
the Custodian (in each case as defined in the Trust Agreement).
Section 8.5 Effectiveness of Resignation or Removal. No resignation or removal of the
Collateral Agent shall be effective until a successor Collateral Agent shall have been appointed
and shall have accepted the duties of the Collateral Agent. If, within 30 days after notice by the
Collateral Agent to the Trust or by the Trust to the Collateral Agent of any such resignation or
removal, no successor Collateral Agent shall have been selected and accepted the duties of the
Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Collateral Agent.
Section 8.6 Appointment of Successor.
(a) If the Collateral Agent hereunder shall resign or be removed, or be dissolved or
shall be in the course of dissolution or liquidation or otherwise become incapable of action
hereunder, or if it shall be taken under the control of any public officer or officers or of
a receiver appointed by a court, a successor may be appointed by Purchaser by an instrument
or concurrent instruments in writing signed by Purchaser or by its attorneys in fact duly
authorized. A copy of such instrument or concurrent instruments shall be sent by registered
mail to Pledgor.
19
(b) Every such temporary or permanent successor Collateral Agent appointed pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement shall be a trust company or bank in good standing, having a
reported capital, surplus and retained earnings of not less than $100,000,000 and capable of
holding the Collateral in the State of New York, if there be such an institution willing,
qualified and able to accept the duties of the Collateral Agent hereunder upon customary
terms.
Section 8.7 Acceptance by Successor. Every temporary or permanent successor
Collateral Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and
also to Pledgor and Purchaser an instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder,
whereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested
with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessors. Such
predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of its successor or Pledgor, execute and
deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all the estates, properties, rights and powers
of such predecessor hereunder. Every predecessor Collateral Agent shall deliver all Collateral
held by it as the Collateral Agent hereunder to its successor. Should any instrument in writing
from Pledgor be required by a successor Collateral Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in
such successor the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby vested or
intended to be vested in the predecessor, any and all such instruments in writing shall, at the
request of the temporary or permanent successor Collateral Agent, be forthwith executed,
acknowledged and delivered by Pledgor.
Section 8.8 Compensation. For services to be rendered by the Collateral Agent
pursuant to this Agreement, the Administrator shall receive only such fees and expenses as shall be
paid to it pursuant to the terms of the Indemnity Agreement and shall have no recourse to the
assets of Purchaser for the payment of any such amounts.
Section 8.9 Indemnification. The Trust shall indemnify and hold the Collateral Agent,
its agents, servants, officers, employees and directors, harmless from and against any loss,
damages, cost or expense (including the costs of investigation, preparation for and defense of
legal and/or administrative proceedings related to a claim against it and reasonable attorneys’
fees and disbursements), liability or claim incurred by reason of any inaccuracy in information
furnished to the Collateral Agent by the Trust or the Pledgor, or any act or omission in the course
of, connected with or arising out of any services to be rendered hereunder; provided that
the Collateral Agent shall not be indemnified and held harmless from and against any such loss,
damages, cost, expense, liability or claim incurred by reason of its breach of its obligations
under this Agreement, willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its
duties, or its reckless disregard of its duties and obligations hereunder. Such indemnity shall
survive the resignation, removal or discharge of the Collateral Agent and the termination of this
Agreement.
20
ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 9.1 Termination. This Agreement and the rights hereby granted by Pledgor in
the Collateral shall cease, terminate and be void upon fulfillment of all of the
obligations of Pledgor under the Contract, and Pledgor shall have no further liability
hereunder upon such termination. Any Collateral remaining at the time of such termination
(including any shares of Common Stock held following Pledgor’s election of the Cash Settlement
Alternative and payment in respect of the Cash Settlement Alternative pursuant to the Contract),
shall be fully released and discharged from the Lien created by this Agreement and delivered to
Pledgor by the Collateral Agent, all at the expense of Pledgor.
Section 9.2 No Assumption of Liability. By executing this Agreement, none of the
Trustees assumes any personal liability under this Agreement. The Trust Agreement was executed or

address specified in this Section 9.3.
Section 9.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York; provided that as to Collateral located
in any jurisdiction other than the State of New York, the Collateral Agent on behalf of
Purchaser shall have all of the rights to which a secured party is entitled under the laws of
such other jurisdiction.
21
Section 9.5 Severability. To the extent permitted by law, the unenforceability or
invalidity of any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not render any other provision or
provisions contained in this Agreement unenforceable or invalid.
Section 9.6 Entire Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, this
Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter of
this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, both written
and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.
Section 9.7 Amendments; Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or
waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retrospectively or prospectively)
if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by
the parties hereto or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be
effective. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power or privilege under
this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of
such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights
and remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or
remedies provided by law.
Section 9.8 Non-Assignability. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the
parties under this Agreement may not be assigned or delegated by any party without the prior
written consent of the other parties (except, with respect to the Collateral Agent, to a successor
Collateral Agent appointed pursuant to Section 8.6), and any purported assignment without such
consent shall be void.
Section 9.9 No Third Party Rights; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is not
intended and shall not be construed to create any rights in any person other than the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns and no person shall assert any rights as third
party beneficiary under this Agreement. Whenever any of the parties to this Agreement is referred
to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party. All the
covenants and agreements in this Agreement contained by or on behalf of the parties hereto shall
bind, and inure to the benefit of, their respective successors and assigns whether so expressed or
not and shall be enforceable by and inure to the benefit of Purchaser and its successors and
assigns.
Section 9.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed, acknowledged and delivered
in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall
constitute a single agreement, with the same effect as if the signatures on each such counterpart
were upon the same instrument.
22
Section 9.11 Grantor. Grantor hereby makes all representations and warranties and
agrees to perform all the covenants and other obligations of Pledgor under this Agreement as if she
were “Pledgor” hereunder, and every reference to “Pledgor” shall be deemed to include
Grantor. All the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of
Grantor shall bind and be enforceable by, and inure to the benefit of, its successors and assigns
whether so expressed or not, including without limitation, the estate of Grantor, and the executor,
administrator or personal representative of such Grantor, as well as such Grantor’s heirs, assigns,
beneficiaries, transferees and distributees, or any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or
representative of such Grantor’s creditors, and shall be enforceable by and inure to the benefit of
Grantor and its successors and assigns. In addition, within three months of the appointment of a
personal representative of the estate of any deceased Grantor, such personal representative shall
enter into an agreement assuming all of the obligations of this Agreement and agreeing not to
challenge this Agreement, and failure to do so shall be an Event of Default hereunder. Grantor
agrees that if the Collateral passes to her estate, death will not terminate the pledge of
Collateral hereunder, and the personal representative of the estate will not make any distributions
of the Collateral required hereunder from the Grantor’s estate until such time as the provisions of
this Agreement have been satisfied and the Collateral Agent provides a release to that effect to
such personal representative.

ARTICLE IV
CERTAIN COVENANTS OF PLEDGOR
Section 4.1 Certain Covenants of Pledgor. Pledgor agrees that, so long as any of its
obligations under the Contract remain outstanding:
(a) Title to Collateral. Pledgor shall at all times hereafter have and
maintain good and marketable title to the Collateral pledged by it, free of all Liens (other
than the Lien created by this Agreement) and Transfer Restrictions, and, subject to the
terms of this Agreement, will at all times hereafter have and maintain good, right and
lawful authority to assign, transfer and pledge such Collateral and all such additions to
such Collateral and substitutions for such Collateral under this Agreement.
(b) Pledge Value Requirement. Pledgor shall cause the aggregate Pledge Value
of the Collateral to be equal to or greater than the Pledge Value Requirement at all times,
and shall pledge additional Collateral in the manner described in Section 5.4 as necessary
to cause such requirement to be met.
(c) Pledge Upon Reorganization Event. Upon the occurrence of a Reorganization
Event, Pledgor shall immediately cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, in the
manner provided in Section 5.4: (i) cash or the Merger Consideration other than Marketable
Securities delivered in the related Reorganization Event in an amount equal to 100% of
Pledgor’s Cash Delivery Obligations (or U.S. Government Securities having an aggregate
Market Value when pledged and at daily xxxx-to-market valuations thereafter at least equal
to 105% of the Cash Delivery Obligations); and (ii) Marketable Securities in an amount at
least equal to the Maximum Deliverable Number of such securities, or, at Pledgor’s election,
U.S. Government Securities having an aggregate Market Value when pledged and at daily
market-to-market valuations thereafter at least equal to 150% of such Maximum Deliverable
Number of Marketable Securities, in each case to be held as substitute Collateral hereunder.
If a Spin-Off Distribution occurs and thereafter any transaction with respect to the issuer
of the spun-off Marketable Securities that would have been a Reorganization Event if it had
occurred with respect to the Company occurs, then this subsection applies as if that issuer
of Marketable Securities were the Company and such spun-off Marketable Securities were the
Common Stock.
8
(d) Pledge Upon Spin-Off Distribution. Upon the occurrence of a Spin-Off
Distribution, Pledgor shall immediately cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, in
the manner provided in Section 5.4, Marketable Securities in an amount at least equal to the
Maximum Deliverable Number of such securities, or, at Pledgor’s election, U.S. Government
Securities having an aggregate Market Value at least equal to 150% of such Maximum
Deliverable Number of Marketable Securities, in each case to be held as additional
Collateral hereunder.
(e) Pledge of Contract Consideration. Notwithstanding Pledgor’s right to
substitute Collateral pursuant to Section 5.2, Pledgor shall cause the Collateral to
include, on the Exchange Date, (i) unless a Reorganization Event shall have occurred, a
number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to the number of shares of Common Stock
(and, if a Spin-Off Distribution has occurred, the number of Marketable Securities
distributed in such Spin-Off Distribution) required to be delivered under the Contract on
the Exchange Date, and (ii) if a Reorganization Event has occurred, any Marketable
Securities or other property required to be delivered under the Contract on the Exchange
Date.
(f) Pledge Upon Collateral Event of Default After Dilution Adjustment. If a
Dilution Adjustment is effected pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Contract and a Collateral
Event of Default occurs, to the extent not already in the possession of the Collateral
Agent, the Pledgor shall immediately cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, in the
manner provided in Section 5.4, any and all property distributed by the Company that
resulted in such Dilution Adjustment, in each case to be held as additional Collateral
hereunder.
(g) Further Assurances. Pledgor shall, at its expense and in such manner and
form as Purchaser or the Collateral Agent may reasonably require, give, execute, deliver,
file and record any financing statement, notice, instrument, document, agreement or other
papers that may be necessary or desirable in order to create, preserve, perfect,
substantiate or validate any security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement or to
enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and the rights of Purchaser
hereunder with respect to such security interest. To the extent permitted by applicable
law, Pledgor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to execute and file, in the name of
Pledgor or otherwise, UCC financing or continuation statements (which may be carbon,
photographic, photostatic or other reproductions of this Agreement or of a financing
statement relating to this Agreement) which the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem
necessary or appropriate to further perfect, or maintain the perfection of, the security
interests granted hereby.
(h) Certain Notices. Pledgor agrees, reasonably promptly in advance of the
consummation of a Reorganization Event, Spin-Off Distribution or event or occurrence giving
rise to a Dilution Adjustment of which Pledgor is aware, to provide to the Collateral Agent
notice thereof in reasonable detail.

ARTICLE V
ADMINISTRATION OF THE COLLATERAL AND
VALUATION OF THE SECURITIES
Section 5.1 Valuation of Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall determine as of 4:00
p.m., New York City time, on each Business Day whether the Pledge Value is at least equal to the
Pledge Value Requirement and whether an Insufficiency Determination or Collateral Event of Default
shall have occurred and, from and after any Reorganization Event, Spin-Off Distribution, event or
occurrence giving rise to a Dilution Adjustment of substitution of U.S. Government Securities for
pledged shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities pursuant to Section 5.2, shall determine
the Pledge Value and the Pledge Value Requirement on each Business Day and shall provide written
notice of the Pledge Value and the Pledge Value Requirement, in the form of Exhibit A, to
Pledgor.
Section 5.2 Substitution of Collateral. Pledgor may substitute Collateral in
accordance with the following provisions:
(a) Unless an Event of Default or a failure by Pledgor to meet any of its obligations
under Article IV or V has occurred and is continuing, Pledgor shall have the right at any
time and from time to time to deposit Eligible Collateral with the Collateral Agent in
substitution for Pledged Items previously deposited hereunder (“Prior Collateral”)
and to obtain the release of such Prior Collateral from the Lien created by this Agreement.
(b) If Pledgor wishes to deposit Eligible Collateral with the Collateral Agent in
substitution for Prior Collateral, it shall (i) give written notice from an Authorized
Representative to the Collateral Agent identifying the Prior Collateral to be released from
the Lien created by this Agreement, (ii) deliver to the Collateral Agent concurrently with
such Eligible Collateral a certificate of Pledgor substantially in the form of Exhibit
B and dated the date of such delivery, (A) identifying the items of Eligible Collateral
being substituted for the Prior Collateral and the Prior Collateral that is to be
transferred to Pledgor and (B) certifying that with respect to such items of additional
Pledged Collateral the representations and warranties contained in Exhibit B are
true and correct on and as of the date of such certificate, and (iii) deliver to the
Collateral Agent concurrently with such Eligible Collateral an opinion, dated the date of
such delivery, of counsel addressed to the Collateral Agent confirming the representations
contained in the first sentence of paragraph 3(a) of Exhibit B insofar as it relates
to securities laws and in the second sentence of paragraph 3(b) of Exhibit B.
Pledgor hereby covenants and agrees to pay all fees, taxes and expenses related to the
substitution of the Collateral and take all actions required under Section 5.4 and any other
actions necessary to create for the benefit of the Collateral Agent a valid, first priority
perfected security interest in, and a first lien upon, such Eligible Collateral deposited
with the Collateral Agent in substitution for Prior Collateral.
(c) No such substitution shall be made unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have
determined that the aggregate Pledge Value of all of the Collateral at the time
of such proposed substitution, after giving effect to the proposed substitution, shall
at least equal the Pledge Value Requirement.
10
Section 5.3 Additional Collateral. Pledgor may pledge additional Collateral hereunder
at any time and shall pledge additional collateral when required under this Agreement.
Concurrently with the delivery of any additional Eligible Collateral, Pledgor shall deliver (i) a
certificate of Pledgor substantially in the form of Exhibit C, signed by an Authorized
Representative, and dated the date of such delivery, (A) identifying the items of additional
Eligible Collateral being pledged and (B) certifying that with respect to such items of additional
Pledged Collateral the representations and warranties contained in Exhibit C are true and
correct on and as of the date of such certificate, and (ii) an opinion, dated the date of such
delivery, of counsel addressed to the Collateral Agent confirming the representations contained in
the first sentence of paragraph 2(a) of Exhibit C insofar as it relates to securities laws
and in the second sentence of paragraph 2(b) of Exhibit C. Pledgor hereby covenants and
agrees to take all actions required under Section 5.4 and any other actions necessary to create for
the benefit of the Collateral Agent a valid, first priority perfected security interest in, and a
first lien upon, such additional Eligible Collateral.
Section 5.4 Delivery of Collateral. Pledgor shall deliver the Collateral to the
Collateral Agent in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) Pledged U.S. Government Securities. In the case of Collateral consisting
of U.S. Government Securities, by transfer of such U.S. Government Securities through the
Book Entry System of the Federal Reserve System to the account of the Collateral Agent or to
an account (other than an account of Pledgor) designated by the Collateral Agent; and
(b) Pledged Marketable Securities or Class B Common Stock. In the case of
Collateral consisting of Marketable Securities or Class B Common Stock, by either (1)
delivery of certificates evidencing such securities, registered in the name of the
Collateral Agent or its nominee or duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by stock powers
duly executed in blank, or (2) if such securities are not held in certificated form but are
held in book-entry form by The Depository Trust Company or any other comparable depositary,
by transfer to an account of the Collateral Agent or to an account (other than an account of
Pledgor) designated by the Collateral Agent or to an account (other than an account of
Pledgor) designated by the Collateral Agent with The Depository Trust Company or such other
depositary, as applicable. Each such delivery of Marketable Securities or Class B Common
Stock shall be accompanied by an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Collateral Agent
that the Collateral Agent has obtained a valid, first priority perfected security interest
in, and a first lien upon, such securities.
(c) Delivery of Other Property. In the case of Collateral consisting of
property other than Common Stock, U.S. Government Securities or Marketable Securities, by
any and all action necessary for the Collateral Agent to obtain a valid, first priority
perfected security interest in, and a first lien upon, such property. Each such delivery of
such property shall be accompanied by an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent that the Collateral Agent has obtained a valid, first priority perfected
security interest in, and a first lien upon, such property. For the avoidance of
doubt, no such other property shall constitute Eligible Collateral.
11
Upon delivery of any Pledged Item under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall examine
such Pledged Item and any opinions and certificates and other instruments delivered pursuant to
Sections 5.2 or 5.3, this Section 5.4 or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in
connection therewith to determine that they comply as to from with the requirements for Eligible
Collateral. Pledgor hereby designates the Collateral Agent as the Person in whose name any
Collateral held in book-entry form in the Federal Reserve System shall be registered.
Section 5.5 Insufficiency Determination.
(a) If as of 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day the Collateral Agent
determines that the aggregate Pledge Value of the Collateral is less than the Pledge Value
Requirement (any such determination, an “Insufficiency Determination”), the
Collateral Agent shall promptly notify Pledgor of such determination by telephone call to an
Authorized Representative of Pledgor followed by a written confirmation of such call.
(b) If, by 4:00 p.m., New York City time on the fifth Business Day following the day on
which written notice shall have been given pursuant to the preceding paragraph 5.5(a),
Pledgor shall have failed to deliver, in the manner set forth in Sections 5.3 and 5.4,
sufficient additional Eligible Collateral so that, after giving effect to such delivery, the
aggregate Pledge Value of the Collateral, as of 4:00 p.m., New York City time on the fifth
Business Day, is at least equal to the Pledge Value Requirement, then (x) the Collateral
Requirement with respect to any U.S. Government Securities pledged hereunder (other than in
respect of Cash Delivery Obligations) shall be increased from 150% to 200%, and (y) unless a
Collateral Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent
shall:
(i) commence sales, in the matter described in Section 5.5(c), of such portion
of the Collateral consisting of U.S. Government Securities as may be required to be
sold in order to generate proceeds sufficient to purchase shares of Common Stock or,
after a Reorganization Event or Spin-Off Distribution, Marketable Securities of the
applicable type as described in the following clause (ii); and
(ii) commence purchases, in the matter described in Section 5.5(c), of shares
of Common Stock or, after a Reorganization Event or Spin-Off Distribution,
Marketable Securities of the applicable type, in an amount sufficient to cause the
aggregate Pledge Value of the Collateral to be at least equal to the Pledge Value
Requirement.
12
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall discontinue sales and purchases
pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), respectively, if at any time a Collateral Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The Collateral Agent shall determine
the Market Value and the Pledge Value of the Collateral after each purchase of shares of
Common Stock or Marketable Securities pursuant to the preceding clause (ii) in order to determine
whether the Pledge Value Requirement is met and whether a Collateral Event of Default has occurred.
Solely for purposes of such calculation, the Market Value of the shares of Common Stock or
Marketable Securities shall be: (A) the most recent sales price as reported in the composite
transactions for the principal securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock or
Marketable Securities, as the case may be, are then listed or, if such securities are not so
listed, the last quoted ask price for such securities as reported by Pink OTC Markets Inc. or a
similar organization; or (B) if higher, in the case of Common Stock, the most recent available
Closing Price.
(c) Collateral sold and shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities purchased by
the Collateral Agent pursuant to the preceding Sections 5.5(a) and (b) may be sold and
purchased on any securities exchange or in any over-the-counter market or in any private
purchase transaction, and at such price or prices, in each case as the Collateral Agent may
deem satisfactory. Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will execute and deliver such
documents, pay all fees and transfer taxes and take such other action as the Collateral
Agent deems necessary or advisable in order that any such sales and purchases may be made in
compliance with law.
Section 5.6 Release of Excess Collateral. (a) If on any Business Day the Collateral
Agent determines that the aggregate Pledge Value of Pledgor’s Eligible Collateral exceeds the
Pledge Value Requirement and no Event of Default or failure by Pledgor to meet any of its
obligations under Articles IV or V has occurred and is continuing, Pledgor may obtain the release
from the Lien created by this Agreement of any Collateral having an aggregate Pledge Value on such
Business Day less than or equal to such excess, upon delivery to the Collateral Agent of a written
notice from an Authorized Representative of Pledgor indicating the items of Collateral to be
released. Such Collateral shall be released only after the Collateral Agent shall have determined
that the aggregate Pledge Value of all of the Collateral remaining after such release as determined
on such Business Day is at least equal to the Pledge Value Requirement.
(b) If directed by the Trust upon Pledgor’s transfer of Securities to the Trust, free
and clear of any Liens and Transfer Restrictions, for cancellation pursuant to Section
2.3(e) of the Contract, the Collateral Agent shall release to the Pledgor the Collateral
associated with the cancelled Securities and thereafter the Maximum Deliverable Number
hereunder shall be adjusted accordingly.
Section 5.7 Delivery of Contract Consideration. On the Exchange Date, unless (i) a
Reorganization Event shall have occurred prior to the Exchange Date or (ii) if permitted under the
Contract, Pledgor shall have elected the Cash Settlement Alternative pursuant to Section 2.3(d) of
the Contract and made the cash payment required by that Section, the Collateral Agent shall deliver
to Purchaser from the shares of Common Stock and, if a Spin-Off Distribution has occurred,
Marketable Securities then held by it hereunder representing the number of shares of Common Stock
and Marketable Securities that were distributed in such Spin-Off Distribution then required to be
delivered by Pledgor under the Contract. If a Reorganization Event shall have occurred prior to
the Exchange Date, then (A) if so instructed by Pledgor by the close of business on the Business
Day preceding the Exchange Date, the
13
Collateral Agent shall deliver to Purchaser, to the extent Marketable Securities are to be
delivered on such date under Section 6.2 of the Contract, the Marketable Securities then held by
the Collateral Agent hereunder; and (B) if such Reorganization Event is a Cash Merger, the
Collateral Agent shall deliver to Purchaser all cash or other assets then held by the Collateral
Agent and required to be delivered under the Contract at the time when such delivery is required to
be made under the Contract. Upon such delivery, Purchaser shall hold such shares of Common Stock
or Marketable Securities, cash or other property, as the case may be, absolutely and free from any
claim or right whatsoever.
Section 5.8 Investment of Cash Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall invest any cash
received by it pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Contract (other than cash that is delivered to the
Purchaser as part of the Accelerated Portion in the event of a Cash Merger) in U.S. Government
Securities maturing before December 31, 2013 as directed by the Managing Trustee.
Section 5.9 Limitations on Further Pledge of Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall
not rehypothecate, pledge or otherwise transfer any of the Collateral except as expressly provided
in this Agreement.
ARTICLE VI
INCOME AND VOTING RIGHTS ON COLLATERAL
Section 6.1 Income on Collateral. Unless an Event of Default or failure by Pledgor to
meet any of its obligations under Article IV or V has occurred and is continuing, Pledgor shall be
entitled to receive for its own account all dividends, interest and, if any, principal and premium
relating to all of the Collateral if permitted and in accordance with the requirements of Section
5.6. The Collateral Agent agrees to remit to Pledgor on the Business Day received or the first
Business Day thereafter all such payments received by it. If an Event of Default or failure by
Pledgor to meet any of its obligations under Article IV or V has occurred and is continuing, all
such payments made or accrued after and during the continuance of such default or failure shall be
retained by the Collateral Agent, and any such payments which are received by Pledgor shall be
received in trust for the benefit of Purchaser, shall be segregated from other funds of Pledgor and
shall forthwith be paid over to the Collateral Agent. Any such payments so retained by, or paid
over to, the Collateral Agent shall be held by the Collateral Agent as Collateral hereunder.
Section 6.2 Voting of Collateral. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Pledgor shall have the right, from time to time, to vote and to give consents,
ratifications and waivers with respect to the Collateral, and the Collateral Agent shall deliver to
Pledgor or as specified in such request such proxies, powers of attorney, consents, ratifications
and waivers in respect of any of the Collateral which is registered in the name of the Collateral
Agent or its nominee as shall be specified in such request and be in form and substance
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to the extent permitted by law, and Pledgor
shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to give effect to such right, to vote
and to give consents, ratifications and waivers, and take any other action with respect to any or
all of the Collateral with the same force and effect as if the Collateral Agent were the
absolute and sole owner of the Collateral and, in such event, shall take any such actions in
accordance with written instructions of the Managing Trustee.
14
ARTICLE VII
REMEDIES UPON EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Section 7.1 Rights of Secured Party. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise on behalf of Purchaser all the rights of a secured
party under the UCC (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights are exercised)
and, in addition, without being required to give any notice, except as provided in this Agreement
or as may be required by mandatory provisions of law, shall: (i) deliver all Collateral consisting
of shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities (but not, in either case, in excess of the
number of shares deliverable under the Contract at such time) or other property to Purchaser on the
date of such Event of Default (in either case, the “Delivery Date”), whereupon Purchaser
shall hold such shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities or other property absolutely free
from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of Pledgor
which may be waived, and Pledgor, to the extent permitted by law, hereby specifically waives all
rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any law now existing or
hereafter adopted; and (ii) if such delivery shall be insufficient to satisfy in full all of the
obligations of Pledgor under the Contract, sell all of the remaining Collateral, or such lesser
portion of the remaining Collateral as may be necessary to generate proceeds sufficient to satisfy
in full all of the obligations of Pledgor under the Contract, at public or private sale or at any
broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and at
such price or prices as the Collateral Agent may deem satisfactory. Pledgor covenants and agrees
that it will execute and deliver such documents and take such other action as the Collateral Agent
deems necessary or advisable in order that any such sales may be made with the least amount of
costs and taxes and in compliance with law. Upon any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the
right to deliver, assign and transfer the Collateral so sold to the purchaser of such Collateral.
Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold absolutely and free from any
claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of Pledgor which may
be waived, and Pledgor, to the extent permitted by law, hereby specifically waives all rights of
redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any law now existing or hereafter
adopted. The notice (if any) of such sale required by Article 9 of the UCC shall (1) in case of a
public sale, state the time and place fixed for such sale, (2) in case of sale at a broker’s board
or on a securities exchange, state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the
day on which the Collateral, or the portion of such Collateral so being sold, will first be offered
for sale at such board or exchange, and (3) in the case of a private sale, state the day after
which such sale may be consummated. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within
ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix in the notice
of such sale. At any such sale the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate
parcels, as the Collateral Agent may determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to
make any such sale pursuant to any such notice. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or
publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time
by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or
place to which the same
15
may be so adjourned. In case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or
for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the
selling price is paid by the purchaser of such Collateral, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur
any liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so
sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice. The
Collateral Agent, instead of exercising the power of sale conferred upon it in this Agreement, may
proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose the security interests and sell the
Collateral, or any portion of such Collateral, under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of
competent jurisdiction.
Section 7.2 Power of Attorney. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, upon any delivery or sale of all or any part of any Collateral made either under the
power of delivery or sale given hereunder or under judgment or decree in any judicial proceedings
for foreclosure or otherwise for the enforcement of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent is hereby
irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney of Pledgor, in the name and stead of Pledgor, to
make all necessary deeds, bills of sale and instruments of assignment, transfer or conveyance of
the property thus delivered or sold. For that purpose the Collateral Agent may execute all such
documents and instruments. This power of attorney shall be deemed coupled with an interest, and
Pledgor hereby ratifies and confirms all that its attorneys acting under such power, or such
attorneys’ successors or agents, shall lawfully do by virtue of this Agreement. If so requested by
the Collateral Agent, by the Trustees or by any purchaser of the Collateral or a portion of the
Collateral, Pledgor shall further ratify and confirm any such delivery or sale by executing and
delivering to the Collateral Agent, to the Trustees or to such purchaser or purchasers at the
expense of Pledgor all proper deeds, bills of sale, instruments of assignment, conveyance of
transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request.
Section 7.3 Application of Collateral and Proceeds. In the case of an Event of
Default, the Collateral Agent may proceed to realize upon the security interest in the Collateral
against anyone or more of the types of Collateral, at anyone time, as the Collateral Agent shall
determine in its sole discretion subject to the foregoing provisions of this Article VII. The
proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, or other receipt from, any such Collateral
shall be applied by the Collateral Agent in the following order of priorities: first, to the
payment to the Collateral Agent of the expenses of such sale or other realization, including
reasonable compensation to the Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel, and all expenses,
liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith,
including brokerage fees in connection with the sale by the Collateral Agent of any Pledged Item;
second, to the payment to Purchaser of an amount equal to: (A) the aggregate Market Value of a
number of shares of Common Stock and, if a Spin-Off Distribution has occurred, Marketable
Securities distributed in such Spin-Off Distribution equal to (1) the number of shares of Common
Stock or Marketable Securities, as the case may be, required to be delivered under the Contract on
the Delivery Date minus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities, as the
case may be, delivered by the Collateral Agent to Purchaser on the Delivery Date as described
above; or (B) from and after a Reorganization Event, the sum of (1) the Cash Delivery Obligations
on the Delivery Date and (2) the aggregate Market Value on the Delivery Date of a number of
Marketable Securities distributed in such Reorganization Event equal to (x) the number of such
Marketable Securities permitted to be delivered on the Delivery Date under Section 6.2 of the
Contract minus (y) the number of such Marketable Securities delivered by the
16
Collateral Agent to Purchaser on the Delivery Date as described above; together with, in
either of cases (A) and (B), any amounts due to Purchaser from Pledgor pursuant to Section
2.4(i)(ii) of the Trust Agreement; and finally, if all of the obligations of Pledgor hereunder and
under the Contract have been fully discharged or sufficient funds have been set aside by the
Collateral Agent at the request of Pledgor for the discharge of such obligations, any remaining
proceeds shall be released to Pledgor.
ARTICLE VIII
THE COLLATERAL AGENT
Section 8.1 Conditions to Duties of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent
accepts its duties and responsibilities hereunder as agent for Purchaser, on and subject to the
following terms and conditions:
(a) Performance of Duties. The Collateral Agent undertakes to perform such
duties and only such duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and, beyond the
exercise of reasonable care in the performance of such duties, no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Collateral Agent. No provision of
this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Collateral Agent from liability for a
breach of its obligations under this Agreement or its own grossly negligent action, grossly
negligent failure to act, bad faith, wilful misconduct or reckless disregard of its duties.
In performing its duties, the following shall apply:
(i) The Collateral Agent may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of
such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of
an action taken or suffered hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such
advice or opinion of counsel.
(ii) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it in good faith (i) reasonably believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred on it by this
Agreement or (ii) in accordance with any direction or request of the Trustees.
(iii) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment made
in good faith by any of its officers, unless the Collateral Agent was grossly
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
(iv) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Collateral Agent may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
opinions expressed therein, upon any note, notice, resolution, consent, certificate,
affidavit, letter, telegram, teletype message, statement, order or other document
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the
proper Person or Persons.
(v) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Collateral Agent to expend
or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance
of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights
or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of
such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it.
17
(vi) The Collateral Agent may perform any duties hereunder either directly or
by or through agents or attorneys, and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible
for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with
due care by it hereunder. In furtherance of the preceding sentence, any subsidiary
owned or controlled by the Collateral Agent, or its successors, as agent for the
Collateral Agent, may perform any or all of the duties of the Collateral Agent
relating to the valuation of securities and other instruments constituting
Collateral hereunder.
(vii) In no event shall the Collateral Agent be personally liable for any taxes
or other governmental charges imposed upon or in respect of (i) the Collateral or
(ii) the income or other distributions thereon.
(viii) Unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received notice from
Pledgor, Purchaser or any other Person, or unless and until a Responsible Officer of
the Collateral Agent shall have actual knowledge to the contrary, the Collateral
Agent shall be entitled to deem and treat all Collateral delivered to it hereunder
as Eligible Collateral hereunder, provided that the Collateral Agent has carried out
the duties specified in Article V with respect to such Collateral at the time of
delivery of such Collateral.
The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the correctness of the recitals and
statements in this Agreement that are made by Pledgor or for any statement or certificate delivered
by Pledgor pursuant to this Agreement, provided that the Collateral Agent has carried out the
duties specified in Article V with respect to such Collateral at the time of delivery of such
Collateral. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not be
responsible for the validity, sufficiency, collectibility or marketability of any Collateral given
to or held by it hereunder or for the validity or sufficiency of the Contract or the Lien on the
Collateral purported to be created hereby.
(b) Knowledge. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of
any Event of Default (except a Collateral Event of Default), unless and until a Responsible
Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have actual knowledge of such Event of Default or the
Collateral Agent shall have received written notice, delivered in accordance with Section
9.3, of such Event of Default. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge
of any Spin-Off Distribution, Reorganization Event or Dilution Adjustment unless and until a
Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have actual knowledge of such event or the
Collateral Agent shall have received written notice.
(c) Following an Event of Default by Pledgor, the Collateral Agent shall exercise such
remedies as provided in Article VII, Section 6.2 and as permitted at law in accordance with
the written instructions of the Managing Trustee.
18

may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or
transfer its agency business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation
or association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which
it is a party, shall be and become the successor Collateral Agent hereunder and vested with all of
the title to the Collateral and all of the powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and other
matters as was its predecessor without, except as provided above, the execution or filing of any
instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of the parties to this
Agreement, anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 8.3 Resignation. Subject to Section 8.5, the Collateral Agent and any
successor Collateral Agent may at any time resign by giving 30 days’ written notice by registered

9.3.
Section 8.4 Removal.
(a) Subject to Section 8.5, the Collateral Agent may be removed at any time by an
instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Collateral Agent and to
Pledgor and signed by Purchaser.
(b) Subject to Section 8.5, the Collateral Agent shall be removed immediately upon (i)
termination of the Trust Agreement, (ii) termination of the Administration Agreement (as
defined in the Trust Agreement), (iii) termination of the Paying Agent Agreement (as defined
in the Trust Agreement), (iv) termination of the Custodian Agreement (as defined in the
Trust Agreement), or the resignation or removal of the Administrator, the Paying Agent or
the Custodian (in each case as defined in the Trust Agreement).
Section 8.5 Effectiveness of Resignation or Removal. No resignation or removal of the
Collateral Agent shall be effective until a successor Collateral Agent shall have been appointed
and shall have accepted the duties of the Collateral Agent. If, within 30 days after notice by the
Collateral Agent to the Trust or by the Trust to the Collateral Agent of any such resignation or
removal, no successor Collateral Agent shall have been selected and accepted the duties of the
Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Collateral Agent.
Section 8.6 Appointment of Successor.
(a) If the Collateral Agent hereunder shall resign or be removed, or be dissolved or
shall be in the course of dissolution or liquidation or otherwise become incapable of action
hereunder, or if it shall be taken under the control of any public officer or officers or of
a receiver appointed by a court, a successor may be appointed by Purchaser by an instrument
or concurrent instruments in writing signed by Purchaser or by its attorneys in fact duly
authorized. A copy of such instrument or concurrent instruments shall be sent by registered
mail to Pledgor.
19
(b) Every such temporary or permanent successor Collateral Agent appointed pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement shall be a trust company or bank in good standing, having a
reported capital, surplus and retained earnings of not less than $100,000,000 and capable of
holding the Collateral in the State of New York, if there be such an institution willing,
qualified and able to accept the duties of the Collateral Agent hereunder upon customary
terms.
Section 8.7 Acceptance by Successor. Every temporary or permanent successor
Collateral Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and
also to Pledgor and Purchaser an instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder,
whereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested
with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessors. Such
predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of its successor or Pledgor, execute and
deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all the estates, properties, rights and powers
of such predecessor hereunder. Every predecessor Collateral Agent shall deliver all Collateral
held by it as the Collateral Agent hereunder to its successor. Should any instrument in writing
from Pledgor be required by a successor Collateral Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in
such successor the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby vested or
intended to be vested in the predecessor, any and all such instruments in writing shall, at the
request of the temporary or permanent successor Collateral Agent, be forthwith executed,
acknowledged and delivered by Pledgor.
Section 8.8 Compensation. For services to be rendered by the Collateral Agent
pursuant to this Agreement, the Administrator shall receive only such fees and expenses as shall be
paid to it pursuant to the terms of the Indemnity Agreement and shall have no recourse to the
assets of Purchaser for the payment of any such amounts.
Section 8.9 Indemnification. The Trust shall indemnify and hold the Collateral Agent,
its agents, servants, officers, employees and directors, harmless from and against any loss,
damages, cost or expense (including the costs of investigation, preparation for and defense of
legal and/or administrative proceedings related to a claim against it and reasonable attorneys’
fees and disbursements), liability or claim incurred by reason of any inaccuracy in information
furnished to the Collateral Agent by the Trust or the Pledgor, or any act or omission in the course
of, connected with or arising out of any services to be rendered hereunder; provided that
the Collateral Agent shall not be indemnified and held harmless from and against any such loss,
damages, cost, expense, liability or claim incurred by reason of its breach of its obligations
under this Agreement, willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its
duties, or its reckless disregard of its duties and obligations hereunder. Such indemnity shall
survive the resignation, removal or discharge of the Collateral Agent and the termination of this
Agreement.

21

Section 9.6 Entire Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, this

the parties hereto or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be
effective. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power or privilege under
this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of
such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights
and remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or
remedies provided by law.
Section 9.8 Non-Assignability. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the

hereto and their respective successors and assigns and no person shall assert any rights as third
party beneficiary under this Agreement. Whenever any of the parties to this Agreement is referred
to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party. All the
covenants and agreements in this Agreement contained by or on behalf of the parties hereto shall

not and shall be enforceable by and inure to the benefit of Purchaser and its successors and
assigns.
Section 9.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed, acknowledged and delivered

22
Section 9.11 Grantor. Grantor hereby makes all representations and warranties and

Grantor shall bind and be enforceable by, and inure to the benefit of, its successors and assigns

administrator or personal representative of such Grantor, as well as such Grantor’s heirs, assigns,
beneficiaries, transferees and distributees, or any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or

personal representative of the estate of any deceased Grantor, such personal representative shall
enter into an agreement assuming all of the obligations of this Agreement and agreeing not to
challenge this Agreement, and failure to do so shall be an Event of Default hereunder. Grantor
agrees that if the Collateral passes to his estate, death will not terminate the pledge of
Collateral hereunder, and the personal representative of the estate will not make any distributions

Pledgor) designated by the Collateral Agent or to an account (other than an account of

depositary, as applicable. Each such delivery of Marketable Securities or Class B Common
Stock shall be accompanied by an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Collateral Agent

perfected security interest in, and a first lien upon, such property. Each such delivery of
such property shall be accompanied by an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent that the Collateral Agent has obtained a valid, first priority perfected security
interest in, and a first lien upon, such property. For the avoidance of doubt, no such
other property shall constitute Eligible Collateral.
Upon delivery of any Pledged Item under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall examine
such Pledged Item and any opinions and certificates and other instruments delivered pursuant to
Sections 5.2 or 5.3, this Section 5.4 or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in

Collateral. Pledgor hereby designates the Collateral Agent as the Person in whose name any
Collateral held in book-entry form in the Federal Reserve System shall be registered.
Section 5.5 Insufficiency Determination.
(a) If as of 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day the Collateral Agent
determines that the aggregate Pledge Value of the Collateral is less than the Pledge Value
Requirement (any such determination, an “Insufficiency Determination”), the
Collateral Agent shall promptly notify Pledgor of such determination by telephone call to an
Authorized Representative of Pledgor followed by a written confirmation of such call.
(b) If, by 4:00 p.m., New York City time on the fifth Business Day following the day on
which written notice shall have been given pursuant to the preceding paragraph 5.5(a),
Pledgor shall have failed to deliver, in the manner set forth in Sections 5.3 and 5.4,
sufficient additional Eligible Collateral so that, after giving effect to such delivery, the
aggregate Pledge Value of the Collateral, as of 4:00 p.m., New York City time on the fifth
Business Day, is at least equal to the Pledge Value Requirement, then (x) the Collateral
Requirement with respect to any U.S. Government Securities
pledged hereunder (other than in respect of Cash Delivery Obligations) shall be increased from
150% to 200%, and (y) unless a Collateral Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Collateral Agent shall:
12
(i) commence sales, in the matter described in Section 5.5(c), of such portion
of the Collateral consisting of U.S. Government Securities as may be required to be
sold in order to generate proceeds sufficient to purchase shares of Common Stock or,
after a Reorganization Event or Spin-Off Distribution, Marketable Securities of the
applicable type as described in the following clause (ii); and
(ii) commence purchases, in the matter described in Section 5.5(c), of shares
of Common Stock or, after a Reorganization Event or Spin-Off Distribution,
Marketable Securities of the applicable type, in an amount sufficient to cause the
aggregate Pledge Value of the Collateral to be at least equal to the Pledge Value
Requirement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall discontinue sales and purchases
pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), respectively, if at any time a Collateral Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The Collateral Agent shall determine the Market
Value and the Pledge Value of the Collateral after each purchase of shares of Common Stock or
Marketable Securities pursuant to the preceding clause (ii) in order to determine whether the
Pledge Value Requirement is met and whether a Collateral Event of Default has occurred. Solely for
purposes of such calculation, the Market Value of the shares of Common Stock or Marketable
Securities shall be: (A) the most recent sales price as reported in the composite transactions for
the principal securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities, as
the case may be, are then listed or, if such securities are not so listed, the last quoted ask
price for such securities as reported by Pink OTC Markets Inc. or a similar organization; or (B) if
higher, in the case of Common Stock, the most recent available Closing Price.
(c) Collateral sold and shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities purchased by
the Collateral Agent pursuant to the preceding Sections 5.5(a) and (b) may be sold and
purchased on any securities exchange or in any over-the-counter market or in any private
purchase transaction, and at such price or prices, in each case as the Collateral Agent may
deem satisfactory. Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will execute and deliver such
documents, pay all fees and transfer taxes and take such other action as the Collateral
Agent deems necessary or advisable in order that any such sales and purchases may be made in
compliance with law.
Section 5.6 Release of Excess Collateral. (a) If on any Business Day the Collateral
Agent determines that the aggregate Pledge Value of Pledgor’s Eligible Collateral exceeds the
Pledge Value Requirement and no Event of Default or failure by Pledgor to meet any of its
obligations under Articles IV or V has occurred and is continuing, Pledgor may obtain the release
from the Lien created by this Agreement of any Collateral having an aggregate Pledge Value on such
Business Day less than or equal to such excess, upon delivery to the Collateral Agent of a written
notice from an Authorized Representative of Pledgor indicating the items of
Collateral to be released. Such Collateral shall be released only after the Collateral Agent
shall have determined that the aggregate Pledge Value of all of the Collateral remaining after such
release as determined on such Business Day is at least equal to the Pledge Value Requirement.
13
(b) If directed by the Trust upon Pledgor’s transfer of Securities to the Trust, free
and clear of any Liens and Transfer Restrictions, for cancellation pursuant to Section
2.3(e) of the Contract, the Collateral Agent shall release to the Pledgor the Collateral
associated with the cancelled Securities and thereafter the Maximum Deliverable Number
hereunder shall be adjusted accordingly.
Section 5.7 Delivery of Contract Consideration. On the Exchange Date, unless (i) a
Reorganization Event shall have occurred prior to the Exchange Date or (ii) if permitted under the
Contract, Pledgor shall have elected the Cash Settlement Alternative pursuant to Section 2.3(d) of
the Contract and made the cash payment required by that Section, the Collateral Agent shall deliver
to Purchaser from the shares of Common Stock and, if a Spin-Off Distribution has occurred,
Marketable Securities then held by it hereunder representing the number of shares of Common Stock
and Marketable Securities that were distributed in such Spin-Off Distribution then required to be
delivered by Pledgor under the Contract. If a Reorganization Event shall have occurred prior to
the Exchange Date, then (A) if so instructed by Pledgor by the close of business on the Business
Day preceding the Exchange Date, the Collateral Agent shall deliver to Purchaser, to the extent
Marketable Securities are to be delivered on such date under Section 6.2 of the Contract, the
Marketable Securities then held by the Collateral Agent hereunder; and (B) if such Reorganization
Event is a Cash Merger, the Collateral Agent shall deliver to Purchaser all cash or other assets
then held by the Collateral Agent and required to be delivered under the Contract at the time when
such delivery is required to be made under the Contract. Upon such delivery, Purchaser shall hold
such shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities, cash or other property, as the case may be,
absolutely and free from any claim or right whatsoever.
Section 5.8 Investment of Cash Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall invest any cash
received by it pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Contract (other than cash that is delivered to the
Purchaser as part of the Accelerated Portion in the event of a Cash Merger) in U.S. Government
Securities maturing before December 31, 2013 as directed by the Managing Trustee.
Section 5.9 Limitations on Further Pledge of Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall
not rehypothecate, pledge or otherwise transfer any of the Collateral except as expressly provided
in this Agreement.
ARTICLE VI
INCOME AND VOTING RIGHTS ON COLLATERAL
Section 6.1 Income on Collateral. Unless an Event of Default or failure by Pledgor to
meet any of its obligations under Article IV or V has occurred and is continuing, Pledgor shall be
entitled to receive for its own account all dividends, interest and, if any, principal and premium
relating to all of the Collateral if permitted and in accordance with the
14
requirements of Section 5.6. The Collateral Agent agrees to remit to Pledgor on the Business
Day received or the first Business Day thereafter all such payments received by it. If an Event of
Default or failure by Pledgor to meet any of its obligations under Article IV or V has occurred and
is continuing, all such payments made or accrued after and during the continuance of such default
or failure shall be retained by the Collateral Agent, and any such payments which are received by
Pledgor shall be received in trust for the benefit of Purchaser, shall be segregated from other
funds of Pledgor and shall forthwith be paid over to the Collateral Agent. Any such payments so
retained by, or paid over to, the Collateral Agent shall be held by the Collateral Agent as
Collateral hereunder.
Section 6.2 Voting of Collateral. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Pledgor shall have the right, from time to time, to vote and to give consents,
ratifications and waivers with respect to the Collateral, and the Collateral Agent shall deliver to
Pledgor or as specified in such request such proxies, powers of attorney, consents, ratifications
and waivers in respect of any of the Collateral which is registered in the name of the Collateral
Agent or its nominee as shall be specified in such request and be in form and substance
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to the extent permitted by law, and Pledgor
shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to give effect to such right, to vote
and to give consents, ratifications and waivers, and take any other action with respect to any or
all of the Collateral with the same force and effect as if the Collateral Agent were the absolute
and sole owner of the Collateral and, in such event, shall take any such actions in accordance with
written instructions of the Managing Trustee.
ARTICLE VII
REMEDIES UPON EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Section 7.1 Rights of Secured Party. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise on behalf of Purchaser all the rights of a secured
party under the UCC (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights are exercised)
and, in addition, without being required to give any notice, except as provided in this Agreement
or as may be required by mandatory provisions of law, shall: (i) deliver all Collateral consisting
of shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities (but not, in either case, in excess of the
number of shares deliverable under the Contract at such time) or other property to Purchaser on the
date of such Event of Default (in either case, the “Delivery Date”), whereupon Purchaser
shall hold such shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities or other property absolutely free
from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of Pledgor
which may be waived, and Pledgor, to the extent permitted by law, hereby specifically waives all
rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any law now existing or
hereafter adopted; and (ii) if such delivery shall be insufficient to satisfy in full all of the
obligations of Pledgor under the Contract, sell all of the remaining Collateral, or such lesser
portion of the remaining Collateral as may be necessary to generate proceeds sufficient to satisfy
in full all of the obligations of Pledgor under the Contract, at public or private sale or at any
broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and at
such price or prices as the Collateral Agent may deem satisfactory. Pledgor covenants and agrees
that it will execute and deliver such documents and
15
take such other action as the Collateral Agent deems necessary or advisable in order that any
such sales may be made with the least amount of costs and taxes and in compliance with law. Upon
any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer the
Collateral so sold to the purchaser of such Collateral. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold
the Collateral so sold absolutely and free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including
any equity or right of redemption of Pledgor which may be waived, and Pledgor, to the extent
permitted by law, hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it
has or may have under any law now existing or hereafter adopted. The notice (if any) of such sale
required by Article 9 of the UCC shall (1) in case of a public sale, state the time and place fixed
for such sale, (2) in case of sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, state the board
or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or the portion of
such Collateral so being sold, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange, and (3) in
the case of a private sale, state the day after which such sale may be consummated. Any such public
sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places
as the Collateral Agent may fix in the notice of such sale. At any such sale the Collateral may be
sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may determine. The
Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any such sale pursuant to any such notice. The
Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause
the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the
sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned. In
case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the
Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the selling price is paid by the
purchaser of such Collateral, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case of the
failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such
failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice. The Collateral Agent, instead of
exercising the power of sale conferred upon it in this Agreement, may proceed by a suit or suits at
law or in equity to foreclose the security interests and sell the Collateral, or any portion of
such Collateral, under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction.
Section 7.2 Power of Attorney. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, upon any delivery or sale of all or any part of any Collateral made either under the
power of delivery or sale given hereunder or under judgment or decree in any judicial proceedings
for foreclosure or otherwise for the enforcement of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent is hereby
irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney of Pledgor, in the name and stead of Pledgor, to
make all necessary deeds, bills of sale and instruments of assignment, transfer or conveyance of
the property thus delivered or sold. For that purpose the Collateral Agent may execute all such
documents and instruments. This power of attorney shall be deemed coupled with an interest, and
Pledgor hereby ratifies and confirms all that its attorneys acting under such power, or such
attorneys’ successors or agents, shall lawfully do by virtue of this Agreement. If so requested by
the Collateral Agent, by the Trustees or by any purchaser of the Collateral or a portion of the
Collateral, Pledgor shall further ratify and confirm any such delivery or sale by executing and
delivering to the Collateral Agent, to the Trustees or to such purchaser or purchasers at the
expense of Pledgor all proper deeds, bills of sale, instruments of assignment, conveyance of
transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request.
16
Section 7.3 Application of Collateral and Proceeds. In the case of an Event of
Default, the Collateral Agent may proceed to realize upon the security interest in the Collateral
against anyone or more of the types of Collateral, at anyone time, as the Collateral Agent shall
determine in its sole discretion subject to the foregoing provisions of this Article VII. The
proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, or other receipt from, any such Collateral
shall be applied by the Collateral Agent in the following order of priorities: first, to the
payment to the Collateral Agent of the expenses of such sale or other realization, including
reasonable compensation to the Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel, and all expenses,
liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith,
including brokerage fees in connection with the sale by the Collateral Agent of any Pledged Item;
second, to the payment to Purchaser of an amount equal to: (A) the aggregate Market Value of a
number of shares of Common Stock and, if a Spin-Off Distribution has occurred, Marketable
Securities distributed in such Spin-Off Distribution equal to (1) the number of shares of Common
Stock or Marketable Securities, as the case may be, required to be delivered under the Contract on
the Delivery Date minus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities, as the
case may be, delivered by the Collateral Agent to Purchaser on the Delivery Date as described
above; or (B) from and after a Reorganization Event, the sum of (1) the Cash Delivery Obligations
on the Delivery Date and (2) the aggregate Market Value on the Delivery Date of a number of
Marketable Securities distributed in such Reorganization Event equal to (x) the number of such
Marketable Securities permitted to be delivered on the Delivery Date under Section 6.2 of the
Contract minus (y) the number of such Marketable Securities delivered by the Collateral Agent to
Purchaser on the Delivery Date as described above; together with, in either of cases (A) and (B),
any amounts due to Purchaser from Pledgor pursuant to Section 2.4(i)(ii) of the Trust Agreement;
and finally, if all of the obligations of Pledgor hereunder and under the Contract have been fully
discharged or sufficient funds have been set aside by the Collateral Agent at the request of
Pledgor for the discharge of such obligations, any remaining proceeds shall be released to Pledgor.
ARTICLE VIII
THE COLLATERAL AGENT
Section 8.1 Conditions to Duties of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent
accepts its duties and responsibilities hereunder as agent for Purchaser, on and subject to the
following terms and conditions:
(a) Performance of Duties. The Collateral Agent undertakes to perform such
duties and only such duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and, beyond the
exercise of reasonable care in the performance of such duties, no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Collateral Agent. No provision of
this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Collateral Agent from liability for a
breach of its obligations under this Agreement or its own grossly negligent action, grossly
negligent failure to act, bad faith, wilful misconduct or reckless disregard of its duties.
In performing its duties, the following shall apply:
(i) The Collateral Agent may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of
such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in
respect of an action taken or suffered hereunder in good faith and in
accordance with such advice or opinion of counsel.
17
(ii) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it in good faith (i) reasonably believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred on it by this
Agreement or (ii) in accordance with any direction or request of the Trustees.
(iii) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment made
in good faith by any of its officers, unless the Collateral Agent was grossly
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
(iv) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Collateral Agent may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
opinions expressed therein, upon any note, notice, resolution, consent, certificate,
affidavit, letter, telegram, teletype message, statement, order or other document
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the
proper Person or Persons.
(v) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Collateral Agent to expend
or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance
of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers,
if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
(vi) The Collateral Agent may perform any duties hereunder either directly or
by or through agents or attorneys, and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible
for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with
due care by it hereunder. In furtherance of the preceding sentence, any subsidiary
owned or controlled by the Collateral Agent, or its successors, as agent for the
Collateral Agent, may perform any or all of the duties of the Collateral Agent
relating to the valuation of securities and other instruments constituting
Collateral hereunder.
(vii) In no event shall the Collateral Agent be personally liable for any taxes
or other governmental charges imposed upon or in respect of (i) the Collateral or
(ii) the income or other distributions thereon.
(viii) Unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received notice from
Pledgor, Purchaser or any other Person, or unless and until a Responsible Officer of
the Collateral Agent shall have actual knowledge to the contrary, the Collateral
Agent shall be entitled to deem and treat all Collateral delivered to it hereunder
as Eligible Collateral hereunder, provided that the Collateral Agent has carried out
the duties specified in Article V with respect to such Collateral at the time of
delivery of such Collateral.
18
The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the correctness of the recitals and
statements in this Agreement that are made by Pledgor or for any statement or certificate delivered
by Pledgor pursuant to this Agreement, provided that the Collateral Agent has carried out the
duties specified in Article V with respect to such Collateral at the time of delivery of such
Collateral. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not be
responsible for the validity, sufficiency, collectibility or marketability of any Collateral given
to or held by it hereunder or for the validity or sufficiency of the Contract or the Lien on the
Collateral purported to be created hereby.
(b) Knowledge. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of
any Event of Default (except a Collateral Event of Default), unless and until a Responsible
Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have actual knowledge of such Event of Default or the
Collateral Agent shall have received written notice, delivered in accordance with Section
9.3, of such Event of Default. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge
of any Spin-Off Distribution, Reorganization Event or Dilution Adjustment unless and until a
Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have actual knowledge of such event or the
Collateral Agent shall have received written notice.
(c) Following an Event of Default by Pledgor, the Collateral Agent shall exercise such
remedies as provided in Article VII, Section 6.2 and as permitted at law in accordance with
the written instructions of the Managing Trustee.
Section 8.2 Merger. Any corporation or association into which the Collateral Agent
may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or
transfer its agency business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation
or association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which
it is a party, shall be and become the successor Collateral Agent hereunder and vested with all of
the title to the Collateral and all of the powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and other
matters as was its predecessor without, except as provided above, the execution or filing of any
instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of the parties to this
Agreement, anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 8.3 Resignation. Subject to Section 8.5, the Collateral Agent and any
successor Collateral Agent may at any time resign by giving 30 days’ written notice by registered
or certified mail to Pledgor and notice to Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of Section
9.3.
Section 8.4 Removal.
(a) Subject to Section 8.5, the Collateral Agent may be removed at any time by an
instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Collateral Agent and to
Pledgor and signed by Purchaser.
19
(b) Subject to Section 8.5, the Collateral Agent shall be removed immediately upon (i)
termination of the Trust Agreement, (ii) termination of the Administration Agreement (as
defined in the Trust Agreement), (iii) termination of the Paying Agent
Agreement (as defined in the Trust Agreement), (iv) termination of the Custodian
Agreement (as defined in the Trust Agreement), or the resignation or removal of the
Administrator, the Paying Agent or the Custodian (in each case as defined in the Trust
Agreement).
Section 8.5 Effectiveness of Resignation or Removal. No resignation or removal of the
Collateral Agent shall be effective until a successor Collateral Agent shall have been appointed
and shall have accepted the duties of the Collateral Agent. If, within 30 days after notice by the
Collateral Agent to the Trust or by the Trust to the Collateral Agent of any such resignation or
removal, no successor Collateral Agent shall have been selected and accepted the duties of the
Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Collateral Agent.
Section 8.6 Appointment of Successor.
(a) If the Collateral Agent hereunder shall resign or be removed, or be dissolved or
shall be in the course of dissolution or liquidation or otherwise become incapable of action
hereunder, or if it shall be taken under the control of any public officer or officers or of
a receiver appointed by a court, a successor may be appointed by Purchaser by an instrument
or concurrent instruments in writing signed by Purchaser or by its attorneys in fact duly
authorized. A copy of such instrument or concurrent instruments shall be sent by registered
mail to Pledgor.
(b) Every such temporary or permanent successor Collateral Agent appointed pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement shall be a trust company or bank in good standing, having a
reported capital, surplus and retained earnings of not less than $100,000,000 and capable of
holding the Collateral in the State of New York, if there be such an institution willing,
qualified and able to accept the duties of the Collateral Agent hereunder upon customary
terms.
Section 8.7 Acceptance by Successor. Every temporary or permanent successor
Collateral Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and
also to Pledgor and Purchaser an instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder,
whereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested
with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessors. Such
predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of its successor or Pledgor, execute and
deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all the estates, properties, rights and powers
of such predecessor hereunder. Every predecessor Collateral Agent shall deliver all Collateral
held by it as the Collateral Agent hereunder to its successor. Should any instrument in writing
from Pledgor be required by a successor Collateral Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in
such successor the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby vested or
intended to be vested in the predecessor, any and all such instruments in writing shall, at the
request of the temporary or permanent successor Collateral Agent, be forthwith executed,
acknowledged and delivered by Pledgor.
Section 8.8 Compensation. For services to be rendered by the Collateral Agent
pursuant to this Agreement, the Administrator shall receive only such fees and expenses as shall
be paid to it pursuant to the terms of the Indemnity Agreement and shall have no recourse to
the assets of Purchaser for the payment of any such amounts.
20
Section 8.9 Indemnification. The Trust shall indemnify and hold the Collateral Agent,
its agents, servants, officers, employees and directors, harmless from and against any loss,
damages, cost or expense (including the costs of investigation, preparation for and defense of
legal and/or administrative proceedings related to a claim against it and reasonable attorneys’
fees and disbursements), liability or claim incurred by reason of any inaccuracy in information
furnished to the Collateral Agent by the Trust or the Pledgor, or any act or omission in the course
of, connected with or arising out of any services to be rendered hereunder; provided that
the Collateral Agent shall not be indemnified and held harmless from and against any such loss,
damages, cost, expense, liability or claim incurred by reason of its breach of its obligations
under this Agreement, willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its
duties, or its reckless disregard of its duties and obligations hereunder. Such indemnity shall
survive the resignation, removal or discharge of the Collateral Agent and the termination of this
Agreement.
ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 9.1 Termination. This Agreement and the rights hereby granted by Pledgor in
the Collateral shall cease, terminate and be void upon fulfillment of all of the obligations of
Pledgor under the Contract, and Pledgor shall have no further liability hereunder upon such
termination. Any Collateral remaining at the time of such termination (including any shares of
Common Stock held following Pledgor’s election of the Cash Settlement Alternative and payment in
respect of the Cash Settlement Alternative pursuant to the Contract), shall be fully released and
discharged from the Lien created by this Agreement and delivered to Pledgor by the Collateral
Agent, all at the expense of Pledgor.
Section 9.2 No Assumption of Liability. By executing this Agreement, none of the
Trustees assumes any personal liability under this Agreement. The Trust Agreement was executed or
made by or on behalf of the Trust by the Trustees as trustees and not individually and the
obligations of this Agreement are not binding upon any of them or the holders of the Securities
individually but are binding only upon the assets and property of the Trust.
Section 9.3 Notices.
(a) All notices and other communications provided for in this Agreement, unless
otherwise specified, shall be in writing and shall be given at the addresses set forth in
the following sentence or at such other addresses as may be designated by notice duly given

States mail, postage prepaid; (ii) if given by telex or telecopier, when such telex or
telecopied notice is transmitted (with electronic confirmation of transmission or verbal
confirmation of receipt); or (iii) if given by any other means, when delivered at the
address specified in this Section 9.3.
Section 9.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York; provided that as to Collateral located
in any jurisdiction other than the State of New York, the Collateral Agent on behalf of Purchaser
shall have all of the rights to which a secured party is entitled under the laws of such other
jurisdiction.
Section 9.5 Severability. To the extent permitted by law, the unenforceability or
invalidity of any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not render any other provision or
provisions contained in this Agreement unenforceable or invalid.
Section 9.6 Entire Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, this
Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter of
this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, both written
and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.
Section 9.7 Amendments; Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or
waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retrospectively or prospectively)
if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by
the parties hereto or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be
effective. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power or privilege under
this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of
such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights
and remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or
remedies provided by law.
22
Section 9.8 Non-Assignability. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the
parties under this Agreement may not be assigned or delegated by any party without the
prior written consent of the other parties (except, with respect to the Collateral Agent, to a
successor Collateral Agent appointed pursuant to Section 8.6), and any purported assignment without
such consent shall be void.
Section 9.9 No Third Party Rights; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is not
intended and shall not be construed to create any rights in any person other than the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns and no person shall assert any rights as third
party beneficiary under this Agreement. Whenever any of the parties to this Agreement is referred
to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party. All the
covenants and agreements in this Agreement contained by or on behalf of the parties hereto shall
bind, and inure to the benefit of, their respective successors and assigns whether so expressed or
not and shall be enforceable by and inure to the benefit of Purchaser and its successors and
assigns.
Section 9.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed, acknowledged and delivered
in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall
constitute a single agreement, with the same effect as if the signatures on each such counterpart
were upon the same instrument.
Section 9.11 Grantors. Each Grantor hereby makes all representations and warranties
and agrees to perform all the covenants and other obligations of Pledgor under this Agreement as if
he or she were “Pledgor” hereunder, and every reference to “Pledgor” shall be deemed to include
each Grantor. All the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of
either Grantor shall bind and be enforceable by, and inure to the benefit of, its successors and
assigns whether so expressed or not, including without limitation, the estate of each Grantor, and
the executor, administrator or personal representative of such Grantor, as well as such Grantor’s
heirs, assigns, beneficiaries, transferees and distributees, or any receiver or trustee in
bankruptcy or representative of such Grantor’s creditors, and shall be enforceable by and inure to
the benefit of Grantor and its successors and assigns. In addition, within three months of the
appointment of a personal representative of the estate of any deceased Grantor, such personal
representative shall enter into an agreement assuming all of the obligations of this Agreement and
agreeing not to challenge this Agreement, and failure to do so shall be an Event of Default
hereunder. Each Grantor agrees that if the Collateral passes to his or her estate, death will not
terminate the pledge of Collateral hereunder, and the personal representative of the estate will
not make any distributions of the Collateral required hereunder from the Grantor’s estate until
such time as the provisions of this Agreement have been satisfied and the Collateral Agent provides
a release to that effect to such personal representative.

items of Collateral by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(b) Title to Collateral; Perfected Security Interest. At the First Time of
Delivery, Pledgor will have good and marketable title to the Pledged Items, free of all
Liens (other than the Lien created by this Agreement) and Transfer Restrictions. Upon
delivery of the Pledged Items pursuant to Sections 2.1(b) and (c), the Collateral Agent will
obtain a valid, first priority perfected security interest in, and a first lien upon, such
Pledged Items subject to no other Lien. None of the Collateral is or shall be pledged by
Pledgor as collateral for any other purpose and none of the Collateral shall be transferred
or distributed by Pledgor unless in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Section 3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral
Agent represents and warrants to Pledgor and Purchaser that:
(a) Corporate Existence and Power. The Collateral Agent is a national
association, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
United States of America, and has all corporate powers and all governmental licenses,
authorizations, consents and approvals governing its banking and fiduciary powers required
to enter into, and perform its obligations under, this Agreement.
(b) Authorization and Non-Contravention. The execution, delivery and
performance by the Collateral Agent of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action on the part of the Collateral Agent (no action by the
shareholders of the Collateral Agent being required) and do not and will not violate,
contravene or constitute a default under any provision of applicable banking or fiduciary
law or regulation or of the charter or by-laws of the Collateral Agent or of any material
agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon the
Collateral Agent.
7
(c) Binding Effect. This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement
of the Collateral Agent enforceable against the Collateral Agent in accordance with its
terms, except as the same may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and by general
principles of equity.
ARTICLE IV
CERTAIN COVENANTS OF PLEDGOR
Section 4.1 Certain Covenants of Pledgor. Pledgor agrees that, so long as any of its
obligations under the Contract remain outstanding:
(a) Title to Collateral. Pledgor shall at all times hereafter have and
maintain good and marketable title to the Collateral pledged by it, free of all Liens (other
than the Lien created by this Agreement) and Transfer Restrictions, and, subject to the
terms of this Agreement, will at all times hereafter have and maintain good, right and
lawful authority to assign, transfer and pledge such Collateral and all such additions to
such Collateral and substitutions for such Collateral under this Agreement.
(b) Pledge Value Requirement. Pledgor shall cause the aggregate Pledge Value
of the Collateral to be equal to or greater than the Pledge Value Requirement at all times,
and shall pledge additional Collateral in the manner described in Section 5.4 as necessary
to cause such requirement to be met.
(c) Pledge Upon Reorganization Event. Upon the occurrence of a Reorganization
Event, Pledgor shall immediately cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, in the
manner provided in Section 5.4: (i) cash or the Merger Consideration other than Marketable
Securities delivered in the related Reorganization Event in an amount equal to 100% of
Pledgor’s Cash Delivery Obligations (or U.S. Government Securities having an aggregate
Market Value when pledged and at daily xxxx-to-market valuations thereafter at least equal
to 105% of the Cash Delivery Obligations); and (ii) Marketable Securities in an amount at
least equal to the Maximum Deliverable Number of such securities, or, at Pledgor’s election,
U.S. Government Securities having an aggregate Market Value when pledged and at daily
market-to-market valuations thereafter at least equal to 150% of such Maximum Deliverable
Number of Marketable Securities, in each case to be held as substitute Collateral hereunder.
If a Spin-Off Distribution occurs and thereafter any transaction with respect to the issuer
of the spun-off Marketable Securities that would have been a Reorganization Event if it had
occurred with respect to the Company occurs, then this subsection applies as if that issuer
of Marketable Securities were the Company and such spun-off Marketable Securities were the
Common Stock.
8
(d) Pledge Upon Spin-Off Distribution. Upon the occurrence of a Spin-Off
Distribution, Pledgor shall immediately cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, in
the manner provided in Section 5.4, Marketable Securities in an amount at least equal
to the Maximum Deliverable Number of such securities, or, at Pledgor’s election, U.S.
Government Securities having an aggregate Market Value at least equal to 150% of such
Maximum Deliverable Number of Marketable Securities, in each case to be held as additional
Collateral hereunder.
(e) Pledge of Contract Consideration. Notwithstanding Pledgor’s right to
substitute Collateral pursuant to Section 5.2, Pledgor shall cause the Collateral to
include, on the Exchange Date, (i) unless a Reorganization Event shall have occurred, a
number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to the number of shares of Common Stock
(and, if a Spin-Off Distribution has occurred, the number of Marketable Securities
distributed in such Spin-Off Distribution) required to be delivered under the Contract on
the Exchange Date, and (ii) if a Reorganization Event has occurred, any Marketable
Securities or other property required to be delivered under the Contract on the Exchange
Date.
(f) Pledge Upon Collateral Event of Default After Dilution Adjustment. If a
Dilution Adjustment is effected pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Contract and a Collateral
Event of Default occurs, to the extent not already in the possession of the Collateral
Agent, the Pledgor shall immediately cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, in the
manner provided in Section 5.4, any and all property distributed by the Company that
resulted in such Dilution Adjustment, in each case to be held as additional Collateral
hereunder.
(g) Further Assurances. Pledgor shall, at its expense and in such manner and
form as Purchaser or the Collateral Agent may reasonably require, give, execute, deliver,
file and record any financing statement, notice, instrument, document, agreement or other
papers that may be necessary or desirable in order to create, preserve, perfect,
substantiate or validate any security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement or to
enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and the rights of Purchaser
hereunder with respect to such security interest. To the extent permitted by applicable
law, Pledgor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to execute and file, in the name of
Pledgor or otherwise, UCC financing or continuation statements (which may be carbon,
photographic, photostatic or other reproductions of this Agreement or of a financing
statement relating to this Agreement) which the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem
necessary or appropriate to further perfect, or maintain the perfection of, the security
interests granted hereby.
(h) Certain Notices. Pledgor agrees, reasonably promptly in advance of the
consummation of a Reorganization Event, Spin-Off Distribution or event or occurrence giving
rise to a Dilution Adjustment of which Pledgor is aware, to provide to the Collateral Agent
notice thereof in reasonable detail.

her estate, death will not terminate the pledge of Collateral hereunder, and the personal
representative of the estate will not make any distributions of the Collateral required
hereunder from the Pledgor’s estate until such time as the provisions of this Agreement
have been satisfied and the Collateral Agent provides a release to that effect to such
personal representative.

ARTICLE V
ADMINISTRATION OF THE COLLATERAL AND
VALUATION OF THE SECURITIES
Section 5.1 Valuation of Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall determine as of 4:00
p.m., New York City time, on each Business Day whether the Pledge Value is at least equal to the
Pledge Value Requirement and whether an Insufficiency Determination or Collateral Event of Default
shall have occurred and, from and after any Reorganization Event, Spin-Off Distribution, event or
occurrence giving rise to a Dilution Adjustment of substitution of U.S. Government Securities for
pledged shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities pursuant to Section 5.2, shall determine
the Pledge Value and the Pledge Value Requirement on each Business Day and shall provide written
notice of the Pledge Value and the Pledge Value Requirement, in the form of Exhibit A, to
Pledgor.
Section 5.2 Substitution of Collateral. Pledgor may substitute Collateral in
accordance with the following provisions:
(a) Unless an Event of Default or a failure by Pledgor to meet any of its obligations
under Article IV or V has occurred and is continuing, Pledgor shall have the right at any
time and from time to time to deposit Eligible Collateral with the Collateral Agent in
substitution for Pledged Items previously deposited hereunder (“Prior Collateral”)
and to obtain the release of such Prior Collateral from the Lien created by this Agreement.
(b) If Pledgor wishes to deposit Eligible Collateral with the Collateral Agent in
substitution for Prior Collateral, it shall (i) give written notice from an Authorized
Representative to the Collateral Agent identifying the Prior Collateral to be released from
the Lien created by this Agreement, (ii) deliver to the Collateral Agent concurrently with
such Eligible Collateral a certificate of Pledgor substantially in the form of Exhibit
B and dated the date of such delivery, (A) identifying the items of Eligible Collateral
being substituted for the Prior Collateral and the Prior Collateral that is to be
transferred to Pledgor and (B) certifying that with respect to such items of additional
Pledged Collateral the representations and warranties contained in Exhibit B are
true and correct on and as of the date of such certificate, and (iii) deliver to the
Collateral Agent concurrently with such Eligible Collateral an opinion, dated the date of
such delivery, of counsel addressed to the Collateral Agent confirming the representations
contained in the first sentence of paragraph 3(a) of Exhibit B insofar as it relates
to securities laws and in the second sentence of paragraph 3(b) of Exhibit B.
Pledgor hereby covenants and agrees to pay all fees, taxes and expenses related to the
substitution of the Collateral and take all actions required under Section 5.4 and any other
actions necessary to create for the benefit of the Collateral Agent a valid, first priority
perfected security interest in, and a first lien upon, such Eligible Collateral deposited
with the Collateral Agent in substitution for Prior Collateral.
10
(c) No such substitution shall be made unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have
determined that the aggregate Pledge Value of all of the Collateral at the time of such
proposed substitution, after giving effect to the proposed substitution, shall at least
equal the Pledge Value Requirement.
Section 5.3 Additional Collateral. Pledgor may pledge additional Collateral hereunder
at any time and shall pledge additional collateral when required under this Agreement.
Concurrently with the delivery of any additional Eligible Collateral, Pledgor shall deliver (i) a
certificate of Pledgor substantially in the form of Exhibit C, signed by an Authorized
Representative, and dated the date of such delivery, (A) identifying the items of additional
Eligible Collateral being pledged and (B) certifying that with respect to such items of additional
Pledged Collateral the representations and warranties contained in Exhibit C are true and
correct on and as of the date of such certificate, and (ii) an opinion, dated the date of such
delivery, of counsel addressed to the Collateral Agent confirming the representations contained in
the first sentence of paragraph 2(a) of Exhibit C insofar as it relates to securities laws
and in the second sentence of paragraph 2(b) of Exhibit C. Pledgor hereby covenants and
agrees to take all actions required under Section 5.4 and any other actions necessary to create for
the benefit of the Collateral Agent a valid, first priority perfected security interest in, and a
first lien upon, such additional Eligible Collateral.
Section 5.4 Delivery of Collateral. Pledgor shall deliver the Collateral to the
Collateral Agent in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) Pledged U.S. Government Securities. In the case of Collateral consisting
of U.S. Government Securities, by transfer of such U.S. Government Securities through the
Book Entry System of the Federal Reserve System to the account of the Collateral Agent or to
an account (other than an account of Pledgor) designated by the Collateral Agent; and
(b) Pledged Marketable Securities or Class B Common Stock. In the case of
Collateral consisting of Marketable Securities or Class B Common Stock, by either (1)
delivery of certificates evidencing such securities, registered in the name of the
Collateral Agent or its nominee or duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by stock powers
duly executed in blank, or (2) if such securities are not held in certificated form but are
held in book-entry form by The Depository Trust Company or any other comparable depositary,
by transfer to an account of the Collateral Agent or to an account (other than an account of
Pledgor) designated by the Collateral Agent or to an account (other than an account of
Pledgor) designated by the Collateral Agent with The Depository Trust Company or such other
depositary, as applicable. Each such delivery of Marketable Securities or Class B Common
Stock shall be accompanied by an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Collateral Agent
that the Collateral Agent has obtained a valid, first priority perfected security interest
in, and a first lien upon, such securities.
(c) Delivery of Other Property. In the case of Collateral consisting of
property other than Common Stock, U.S. Government Securities or Marketable Securities, by
any and all action necessary for the Collateral Agent to obtain a valid, first priority
perfected security interest in, and a first lien upon, such property. Each such
delivery of such property shall be accompanied by an opinion of counsel satisfactory to
the Collateral Agent that the Collateral Agent has obtained a valid, first priority
perfected security interest in, and a first lien upon, such property. For the avoidance of
doubt, no such other property shall constitute Eligible Collateral.
11
Upon delivery of any Pledged Item under this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall examine
such Pledged Item and any opinions and certificates and other instruments delivered pursuant to
Sections 5.2 or 5.3, this Section 5.4 or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in
connection therewith to determine that they comply as to from with the requirements for Eligible
Collateral. Pledgor hereby designates the Collateral Agent as the Person in whose name any
Collateral held in book-entry form in the Federal Reserve System shall be registered.
Section 5.5 Insufficiency Determination.
(a) If as of 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day the Collateral Agent
determines that the aggregate Pledge Value of the Collateral is less than the Pledge Value
Requirement (any such determination, an “Insufficiency Determination”), the
Collateral Agent shall promptly notify Pledgor of such determination by telephone call to an
Authorized Representative of Pledgor followed by a written confirmation of such call.
(b) If, by 4:00 p.m., New York City time on the fifth Business Day following the day on
which written notice shall have been given pursuant to the preceding paragraph 5.5(a),
Pledgor shall have failed to deliver, in the manner set forth in Sections 5.3 and 5.4,
sufficient additional Eligible Collateral so that, after giving effect to such delivery, the
aggregate Pledge Value of the Collateral, as of 4:00 p.m., New York City time on the fifth
Business Day, is at least equal to the Pledge Value Requirement, then (x) the Collateral
Requirement with respect to any U.S. Government Securities pledged hereunder (other than in
respect of Cash Delivery Obligations) shall be increased from 150% to 200%, and (y) unless a
Collateral Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent
shall:
(i) commence sales, in the matter described in Section 5.5(c), of such portion
of the Collateral consisting of U.S. Government Securities as may be required to be
sold in order to generate proceeds sufficient to purchase shares of Common Stock or,
after a Reorganization Event or Spin-Off Distribution, Marketable Securities of the
applicable type as described in the following clause (ii); and
(ii) commence purchases, in the matter described in Section 5.5(c), of shares
of Common Stock or, after a Reorganization Event or Spin-Off Distribution,
Marketable Securities of the applicable type, in an amount sufficient to cause the
aggregate Pledge Value of the Collateral to be at least equal to the Pledge Value
Requirement.
12
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall discontinue sales and purchases
pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), respectively, if at any time a Collateral Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The Collateral Agent shall determine the Market
Value and the Pledge Value of the Collateral after each purchase of shares of Common Stock or
Marketable Securities pursuant to the preceding clause (ii) in order to determine whether the
Pledge Value Requirement is met and whether a Collateral Event of Default has occurred. Solely for
purposes of such calculation, the Market Value of the shares of Common Stock or Marketable
Securities shall be: (A) the most recent sales price as reported in the composite transactions for
the principal securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities, as
the case may be, are then listed or, if such securities are not so listed, the last quoted ask
price for such securities as reported by Pink OTC Markets Inc. or a similar organization; or (B) if
higher, in the case of Common Stock, the most recent available Closing Price.
(c) Collateral sold and shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities purchased by
the Collateral Agent pursuant to the preceding Sections 5.5(a) and (b) may be sold and
purchased on any securities exchange or in any over-the-counter market or in any private
purchase transaction, and at such price or prices, in each case as the Collateral Agent may
deem satisfactory. Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will execute and deliver such
documents, pay all fees and transfer taxes and take such other action as the Collateral
Agent deems necessary or advisable in order that any such sales and purchases may be made in
compliance with law.
Section 5.6 Release of Excess Collateral. (a) If on any Business Day the Collateral
Agent determines that the aggregate Pledge Value of Pledgor’s Eligible Collateral exceeds the
Pledge Value Requirement and no Event of Default or failure by Pledgor to meet any of its
obligations under Articles IV or V has occurred and is continuing, Pledgor may obtain the release
from the Lien created by this Agreement of any Collateral having an aggregate Pledge Value on such
Business Day less than or equal to such excess, upon delivery to the Collateral Agent of a written
notice from an Authorized Representative of Pledgor indicating the items of Collateral to be
released. Such Collateral shall be released only after the Collateral Agent shall have determined
that the aggregate Pledge Value of all of the Collateral remaining after such release as determined
on such Business Day is at least equal to the Pledge Value Requirement.
(b) If directed by the Trust upon Pledgor’s transfer of Securities to the Trust, free
and clear of any Liens and Transfer Restrictions, for cancellation pursuant to Section
2.3(e) of the Contract, the Collateral Agent shall release to the Pledgor the Collateral
associated with the cancelled Securities and thereafter the Maximum Deliverable Number
hereunder shall be adjusted accordingly.
Section 5.7 Delivery of Contract Consideration. On the Exchange Date, unless (i) a
Reorganization Event shall have occurred prior to the Exchange Date or (ii) if permitted under the
Contract, Pledgor shall have elected the Cash Settlement Alternative pursuant to Section 2.3(d) of
the Contract and made the cash payment required by that Section, the Collateral Agent shall deliver
to Purchaser from the shares of Common Stock and, if a Spin-Off Distribution has occurred,
Marketable Securities then held by it hereunder representing the number of shares of Common Stock
and Marketable Securities that were distributed in such
13
Spin-Off Distribution then required to be delivered by Pledgor under the Contract. If a
Reorganization Event shall have occurred prior to the Exchange Date, then (A) if so instructed by
Pledgor by the close of business on the Business Day preceding the Exchange Date, the Collateral
Agent shall deliver to Purchaser, to the extent Marketable Securities are to be delivered on such
date under Section 6.2 of the Contract, the Marketable Securities then held by the Collateral Agent
hereunder; and (B) if such Reorganization Event is a Cash Merger, the Collateral Agent shall
deliver to Purchaser all cash or other assets then held by the Collateral Agent and required to be
delivered under the Contract at the time when such delivery is required to be made under the
Contract. Upon such delivery, Purchaser shall hold such shares of Common Stock or Marketable
Securities, cash or other property, as the case may be, absolutely and free from any claim or right
whatsoever.
Section 5.8 Investment of Cash Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall invest any cash
received by it pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Contract (other than cash that is delivered to the
Purchaser as part of the Accelerated Portion in the event of a Cash Merger) in U.S. Government
Securities maturing before December 31, 2013 as directed by the Managing Trustee.
Section 5.9 Limitations on Further Pledge of Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall
not rehypothecate, pledge or otherwise transfer any of the Collateral except as expressly provided
in this Agreement.
ARTICLE VI
INCOME AND VOTING RIGHTS ON COLLATERAL
Section 6.1 Income on Collateral. Unless an Event of Default or failure by Pledgor to
meet any of its obligations under Article IV or V has occurred and is continuing, Pledgor shall be
entitled to receive for its own account all dividends, interest and, if any, principal and premium
relating to all of the Collateral if permitted and in accordance with the requirements of Section
5.6. The Collateral Agent agrees to remit to Pledgor on the Business Day received or the first
Business Day thereafter all such payments received by it. If an Event of Default or failure by
Pledgor to meet any of its obligations under Article IV or V has occurred and is continuing, all
such payments made or accrued after and during the continuance of such default or failure shall be
retained by the Collateral Agent, and any such payments which are received by Pledgor shall be
received in trust for the benefit of Purchaser, shall be segregated from other funds of Pledgor and
shall forthwith be paid over to the Collateral Agent. Any such payments so retained by, or paid
over to, the Collateral Agent shall be held by the Collateral Agent as Collateral hereunder.
Section 6.2 Voting of Collateral. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Pledgor shall have the right, from time to time, to vote and to give consents,
ratifications and waivers with respect to the Collateral, and the Collateral Agent shall deliver to
Pledgor or as specified in such request such proxies, powers of attorney, consents, ratifications
and waivers in respect of any of the Collateral which is registered in the name of the Collateral
Agent or its nominee as shall be specified in such request and be in form and substance
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
14
continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to the extent permitted by law, and
Pledgor shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to give effect to such right,
to vote and to give consents, ratifications and waivers, and take any other action with respect to
any or all of the Collateral with the same force and effect as if the Collateral Agent were the
absolute and sole owner of the Collateral and, in such event, shall take any such actions in
accordance with written instructions of the Managing Trustee.
ARTICLE VII
REMEDIES UPON EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Section 7.1 Rights of Secured Party. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise on behalf of Purchaser all the rights of a secured
party under the UCC (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights are exercised)
and, in addition, without being required to give any notice, except as provided in this Agreement
or as may be required by mandatory provisions of law, shall: (i) deliver all Collateral consisting
of shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities (but not, in either case, in excess of the
number of shares deliverable under the Contract at such time) or other property to Purchaser on the
date of such Event of Default (in either case, the “Delivery Date”), whereupon Purchaser
shall hold such shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities or other property absolutely free
from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of Pledgor
which may be waived, and Pledgor, to the extent permitted by law, hereby specifically waives all
rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any law now existing or
hereafter adopted; and (ii) if such delivery shall be insufficient to satisfy in full all of the
obligations of Pledgor under the Contract, sell all of the remaining Collateral, or such lesser
portion of the remaining Collateral as may be necessary to generate proceeds sufficient to satisfy
in full all of the obligations of Pledgor under the Contract, at public or private sale or at any
broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and at
such price or prices as the Collateral Agent may deem satisfactory. Pledgor covenants and agrees
that it will execute and deliver such documents and take such other action as the Collateral Agent
deems necessary or advisable in order that any such sales may be made with the least amount of
costs and taxes and in compliance with law. Upon any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the
right to deliver, assign and transfer the Collateral so sold to the purchaser of such Collateral.
Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold absolutely and free from any
claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of Pledgor which may
be waived, and Pledgor, to the extent permitted by law, hereby specifically waives all rights of
redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any law now existing or hereafter
adopted. The notice (if any) of such sale required by Article 9 of the UCC shall (1) in case of a
public sale, state the time and place fixed for such sale, (2) in case of sale at a broker’s board
or on a securities exchange, state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the
day on which the Collateral, or the portion of such Collateral so being sold, will first be offered
for sale at such board or exchange, and (3) in the case of a private sale, state the day after
which such sale may be consummated. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within
ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix in the notice
of such sale. At any such sale the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate
parcels, as the Collateral Agent may determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to
make any such sale pursuant to
15
any such notice. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public
or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and
place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be
so adjourned. In case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or for future
delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the selling price is
paid by the purchaser of such Collateral, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in
case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of
any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice. The Collateral Agent,
instead of exercising the power of sale conferred upon it in this Agreement, may proceed by a suit
or suits at law or in equity to foreclose the security interests and sell the Collateral, or any
portion of such Collateral, under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent
jurisdiction.
Section 7.2 Power of Attorney. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, upon any delivery or sale of all or any part of any Collateral made either under the
power of delivery or sale given hereunder or under judgment or decree in any judicial proceedings
for foreclosure or otherwise for the enforcement of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent is hereby
irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney of Pledgor, in the name and stead of Pledgor, to
make all necessary deeds, bills of sale and instruments of assignment, transfer or conveyance of
the property thus delivered or sold. For that purpose the Collateral Agent may execute all such
documents and instruments. This power of attorney shall be deemed coupled with an interest, and
Pledgor hereby ratifies and confirms all that its attorneys acting under such power, or such
attorneys’ successors or agents, shall lawfully do by virtue of this Agreement. If so requested by
the Collateral Agent, by the Trustees or by any purchaser of the Collateral or a portion of the
Collateral, Pledgor shall further ratify and confirm any such delivery or sale by executing and
delivering to the Collateral Agent, to the Trustees or to such purchaser or purchasers at the
expense of Pledgor all proper deeds, bills of sale, instruments of assignment, conveyance of
transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request.
Section 7.3 Application of Collateral and Proceeds. In the case of an Event of
Default, the Collateral Agent may proceed to realize upon the security interest in the Collateral
against anyone or more of the types of Collateral, at anyone time, as the Collateral Agent shall
determine in its sole discretion subject to the foregoing provisions of this Article VII. The
proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, or other receipt from, any such Collateral
shall be applied by the Collateral Agent in the following order of priorities: first, to the
payment to the Collateral Agent of the expenses of such sale or other realization, including
reasonable compensation to the Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel, and all expenses,
liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith,
including brokerage fees in connection with the sale by the Collateral Agent of any Pledged Item;
second, to the payment to Purchaser of an amount equal to: (A) the aggregate Market Value of a
number of shares of Common Stock and, if a Spin-Off Distribution has occurred, Marketable
Securities distributed in such Spin-Off Distribution equal to (1) the number of shares of Common
Stock or Marketable Securities, as the case may be, required to be delivered under the Contract on
the Delivery Date minus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities, as the
case may be, delivered by the Collateral Agent to Purchaser on the Delivery Date as described
above; or (B) from and after a Reorganization Event, the sum of (1) the Cash Delivery Obligations
on the Delivery Date and (2) the aggregate Market Value on the Delivery Date of a
16
number of Marketable Securities distributed in such Reorganization Event equal to (x) the
number of such Marketable Securities permitted to be delivered on the Delivery Date under Section
6.2 of the Contract minus (y) the number of such Marketable Securities delivered by the Collateral
Agent to Purchaser on the Delivery Date as described above; together with, in either of cases (A)
and (B), any amounts due to Purchaser from Pledgor pursuant to Section 2.4(i)(ii) of the Trust
Agreement; and finally, if all of the obligations of Pledgor hereunder and under the Contract have
been fully discharged or sufficient funds have been set aside by the Collateral Agent at the
request of Pledgor for the discharge of such obligations, any remaining proceeds shall be released
to Pledgor.
ARTICLE VIII

Section 8.1 Conditions to Duties of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent
accepts its duties and responsibilities hereunder as agent for Purchaser, on and subject to the
following terms and conditions:
(a) Performance of Duties. The Collateral Agent undertakes to perform such
duties and only such duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and, beyond the
exercise of reasonable care in the performance of such duties, no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Collateral Agent. No provision of
this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Collateral Agent from liability for a
breach of its obligations under this Agreement or its own grossly negligent action, grossly
negligent failure to act, bad faith, wilful misconduct or reckless disregard of its duties.
In performing its duties, the following shall apply:
(i) The Collateral Agent may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of
such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of
an action taken or suffered hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such
advice or opinion of counsel.
(ii) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it in good faith (i) reasonably believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred on it by this
Agreement or (ii) in accordance with any direction or request of the Trustees.
(iii) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment made
in good faith by any of its officers, unless the Collateral Agent was grossly
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
(iv) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Collateral Agent may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
opinions expressed therein, upon any note, notice, resolution, consent, certificate,
affidavit, letter, telegram, teletype message, statement, order or other document
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the
proper Person or Persons.
17
(v) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Collateral Agent to expend
or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance
of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers,
if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
(vi) The Collateral Agent may perform any duties hereunder either directly or

Collateral hereunder.
(vii) In no event shall the Collateral Agent be personally liable for any taxes
or other governmental charges imposed upon or in respect of (i) the Collateral or
(ii) the income or other distributions thereon.
(viii) Unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received notice from
Pledgor, Purchaser or any other Person, or unless and until a Responsible Officer of
the Collateral Agent shall have actual knowledge to the contrary, the Collateral
Agent shall be entitled to deem and treat all Collateral delivered to it hereunder
as Eligible Collateral hereunder, provided that the Collateral Agent has carried out
the duties specified in Article V with respect to such Collateral at the time of
delivery of such Collateral.
The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the correctness of the recitals and

Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have actual knowledge of such Event of Default or the
Collateral Agent shall have received written notice, delivered in accordance with Section
9.3, of such Event of Default. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge
of any Spin-Off Distribution, Reorganization Event or Dilution Adjustment unless and until a

18
(c) Following an Event of Default by Pledgor, the Collateral Agent shall exercise such
remedies as provided in Article VII, Section 6.2 and as permitted at law in accordance with

Section 8.2 Merger. Any corporation or association into which the Collateral Agent
may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or
transfer its agency business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation
or association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which
it is a party, shall be and become the successor Collateral Agent hereunder and vested with all of
the title to the Collateral and all of the powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and other
matters as was its predecessor without, except as provided above, the execution or filing of any
instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of the parties to this
Agreement, anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 8.3 Resignation. Subject to Section 8.5, the Collateral Agent and any
successor Collateral Agent may at any time resign by giving 30 days’ written notice by registered
or certified mail to Pledgor and notice to Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of Section
9.3.
Section 8.4 Removal.
(a) Subject to Section 8.5, the Collateral Agent may be removed at any time by an
instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Collateral Agent and to
Pledgor and signed by Purchaser.
(b) Subject to Section 8.5, the Collateral Agent shall be removed immediately upon (i)
termination of the Trust Agreement, (ii) termination of the Administration Agreement (as
defined in the Trust Agreement), (iii) termination of the Paying Agent Agreement (as defined
in the Trust Agreement), (iv) termination of the Custodian Agreement (as defined in the
Trust Agreement), or the resignation or removal of the Administrator, the Paying Agent or
the Custodian (in each case as defined in the Trust Agreement).
Section 8.5 Effectiveness of Resignation or Removal. No resignation or removal of the
Collateral Agent shall be effective until a successor Collateral Agent shall have been appointed
and shall have accepted the duties of the Collateral Agent. If, within 30 days after notice by the
Collateral Agent to the Trust or by the Trust to the Collateral Agent of any such resignation or
removal, no successor Collateral Agent shall have been selected and accepted the duties of the
Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Collateral Agent.
Section 8.6 Appointment of Successor.
(a) If the Collateral Agent hereunder shall resign or be removed, or be dissolved or
shall be in the course of dissolution or liquidation or otherwise become incapable of action
hereunder, or if it shall be taken under the control of any public officer or officers or of
a receiver appointed by a court, a successor may be appointed by Purchaser by an instrument
or concurrent instruments in writing signed by Purchaser or
by its attorneys in fact duly authorized. A copy of such instrument or concurrent
instruments shall be sent by registered mail to Pledgor.
19
(b) Every such temporary or permanent successor Collateral Agent appointed pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement shall be a trust company or bank in good standing, having a
reported capital, surplus and retained earnings of not less than $100,000,000 and capable of
holding the Collateral in the State of New York, if there be such an institution willing,
qualified and able to accept the duties of the Collateral Agent hereunder upon customary
terms.
Section 8.7 Acceptance by Successor. Every temporary or permanent successor
Collateral Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and
also to Pledgor and Purchaser an instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder,
whereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested
with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessors. Such
predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of its successor or Pledgor, execute and
deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all the estates, properties, rights and powers
of such predecessor hereunder. Every predecessor Collateral Agent shall deliver all Collateral
held by it as the Collateral Agent hereunder to its successor. Should any instrument in writing
from Pledgor be required by a successor Collateral Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in
such successor the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby vested or
intended to be vested in the predecessor, any and all such instruments in writing shall, at the
request of the temporary or permanent successor Collateral Agent, be forthwith executed,
acknowledged and delivered by Pledgor.
Section 8.8 Compensation. For services to be rendered by the Collateral Agent
pursuant to this Agreement, the Administrator shall receive only such fees and expenses as shall be
paid to it pursuant to the terms of the Indemnity Agreement and shall have no recourse to the
assets of Purchaser for the payment of any such amounts.
Section 8.9 Indemnification. The Trust shall indemnify and hold the Collateral Agent,
its agents, servants, officers, employees and directors, harmless from and against any loss,
damages, cost or expense (including the costs of investigation, preparation for and defense of
legal and/or administrative proceedings related to a claim against it and reasonable attorneys’
fees and disbursements), liability or claim incurred by reason of any inaccuracy in information
furnished to the Collateral Agent by the Trust or the Pledgor, or any act or omission in the course
of, connected with or arising out of any services to be rendered hereunder; provided that
the Collateral Agent shall not be indemnified and held harmless from and against any such loss,
damages, cost, expense, liability or claim incurred by reason of its breach of its obligations
under this Agreement, willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its
duties, or its reckless disregard of its duties and obligations hereunder. Such indemnity shall
survive the resignation, removal or discharge of the Collateral Agent and the termination of this
Agreement.

21
Section 9.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in

shall have all of the rights to which a secured party is entitled under the laws of such other
jurisdiction.
Section 9.5 Severability. To the extent permitted by law, the unenforceability or
invalidity of any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not render any other provision or
provisions contained in this Agreement unenforceable or invalid.
Section 9.6 Entire Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, this
Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter of
this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, both written

Section 9.7 Amendments; Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or

if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by
the parties hereto or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be
effective. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power or privilege under
this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of
such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights
and remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or
remedies provided by law.
Section 9.8 Non-Assignability. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the

Collateral Agent appointed pursuant to Section 8.6), and any purported assignment without such
consent shall be void.

Section 9.9 No Third Party Rights; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is not
intended and shall not be construed to create any rights in any person other than the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns and no person shall assert any rights as third
party beneficiary under this Agreement. Whenever any of the parties to this Agreement is referred
to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party. All the
covenants and agreements in this Agreement contained by or on behalf of the parties hereto shall
bind, and inure to the benefit of, their respective successors and assigns whether so expressed or
not, including without limitation, the estate of Pledgor, and the executor, administrator, personal

successors and assigns. In addition, within three months of the appointment of
a personal representative of the estate of any deceased Pledgor, such personal representative

aggregate Pledge Value of the Collateral to be at least equal to the Pledge Value
Requirement.
12
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall discontinue sales and purchases
pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), respectively, if at any time a Collateral Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The Collateral Agent shall determine the Market
Value and the Pledge Value of the Collateral after each purchase of shares of Common Stock or
Marketable Securities pursuant to the preceding clause (ii) in order to determine whether the
Pledge Value Requirement is met and whether a Collateral Event of Default has occurred. Solely for
purposes of such calculation, the Market Value of the shares of Common Stock or Marketable
Securities shall be: (A) the most recent sales price as reported in the composite transactions for
the principal securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities, as
the case may be, are then listed or, if such securities are not so listed, the last quoted ask
price for such securities as reported by Pink OTC Markets Inc. or a similar organization; or (B) if
higher, in the case of Common Stock, the most recent available Closing Price.
(c) Collateral sold and shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities purchased by
the Collateral Agent pursuant to the preceding Sections 5.5(a) and (b) may be sold and
purchased on any securities exchange or in any over-the-counter market or in any private
purchase transaction, and at such price or prices, in each case as the Collateral Agent may
deem satisfactory. Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will execute and deliver such
documents, pay all fees and transfer taxes and take such other action as the Collateral
Agent deems necessary or advisable in order that any such sales and purchases may be made in
compliance with law.
Section 5.6 Release of Excess Collateral. (a) If on any Business Day the Collateral
Agent determines that the aggregate Pledge Value of Pledgor’s Eligible Collateral exceeds the
Pledge Value Requirement and no Event of Default or failure by Pledgor to meet any of its
obligations under Articles IV or V has occurred and is continuing, Pledgor may obtain the release
from the Lien created by this Agreement of any Collateral having an aggregate Pledge Value on such
Business Day less than or equal to such excess, upon delivery to the Collateral Agent of a written
notice from an Authorized Representative of Pledgor indicating the items of Collateral to be
released. Such Collateral shall be released only after the Collateral Agent shall have determined
that the aggregate Pledge Value of all of the Collateral remaining after such release as determined
on such Business Day is at least equal to the Pledge Value Requirement.
(b) If directed by the Trust upon Pledgor’s transfer of Securities to the Trust, free
and clear of any Liens and Transfer Restrictions, for cancellation pursuant to Section
2.3(e) of the Contract, the Collateral Agent shall release to the Pledgor the Collateral
associated with the cancelled Securities and thereafter the Maximum Deliverable Number
hereunder shall be adjusted accordingly.
Section 5.7 Delivery of Contract Consideration. On the Exchange Date, unless (i) a
Reorganization Event shall have occurred prior to the Exchange Date or (ii) if permitted under the
Contract, Pledgor shall have elected the Cash Settlement Alternative pursuant to Section 2.3(d) of
the Contract and made the cash payment required by that Section, the Collateral Agent shall deliver
to Purchaser from the shares of Common Stock and, if a Spin-Off Distribution has occurred,
Marketable Securities then held by it hereunder representing the number of shares of Common Stock
and Marketable Securities that were distributed in such
13
Spin-Off Distribution then required to be delivered by Pledgor under the Contract. If a
Reorganization Event shall have occurred prior to the Exchange Date, then (A) if so instructed by
Pledgor by the close of business on the Business Day preceding the Exchange Date, the Collateral
Agent shall deliver to Purchaser, to the extent Marketable Securities are to be delivered on such
date under Section 6.2 of the Contract, the Marketable Securities then held by the Collateral Agent
hereunder; and (B) if such Reorganization Event is a Cash Merger, the Collateral Agent shall
deliver to Purchaser all cash or other assets then held by the Collateral Agent and required to be
delivered under the Contract at the time when such delivery is required to be made under the
Contract. Upon such delivery, Purchaser shall hold such shares of Common Stock or Marketable
Securities, cash or other property, as the case may be, absolutely and free from any claim or right
whatsoever.
Section 5.8 Investment of Cash Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall invest any cash
received by it pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Contract (other than cash that is delivered to the
Purchaser as part of the Accelerated Portion in the event of a Cash Merger) in U.S. Government
Securities maturing before December 31, 2013 as directed by the Managing Trustee.
Section 5.9 Limitations on Further Pledge of Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall
not rehypothecate, pledge or otherwise transfer any of the Collateral except as expressly provided
in this Agreement.
ARTICLE VI
INCOME AND VOTING RIGHTS ON COLLATERAL
Section 6.1 Income on Collateral. Unless an Event of Default or failure by Pledgor to
meet any of its obligations under Article IV or V has occurred and is continuing, Pledgor shall be
entitled to receive for its own account all dividends, interest and, if any, principal and premium
relating to all of the Collateral if permitted and in accordance with the requirements of Section
5.6. The Collateral Agent agrees to remit to Pledgor on the Business Day received or the first
Business Day thereafter all such payments received by it. If an Event of Default or failure by
Pledgor to meet any of its obligations under Article IV or V has occurred and is continuing, all
such payments made or accrued after and during the continuance of such default or failure shall be
retained by the Collateral Agent, and any such payments which are received by Pledgor shall be
received in trust for the benefit of Purchaser, shall be segregated from other funds of Pledgor and
shall forthwith be paid over to the Collateral Agent. Any such payments so retained by, or paid
over to, the Collateral Agent shall be held by the Collateral Agent as Collateral hereunder.
Section 6.2 Voting of Collateral. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Pledgor shall have the right, from time to time, to vote and to give consents,
ratifications and waivers with respect to the Collateral, and the Collateral Agent shall deliver to
Pledgor or as specified in such request such proxies, powers of attorney, consents, ratifications
and waivers in respect of any of the Collateral which is registered in the name of the Collateral
Agent or its nominee as shall be specified in such request and be in form and substance
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
14
continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to the extent permitted by law, and
Pledgor shall take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to give effect to such right,
to vote and to give consents, ratifications and waivers, and take any other action with respect to
any or all of the Collateral with the same force and effect as if the Collateral Agent were the
absolute and sole owner of the Collateral and, in such event, shall take any such actions in
accordance with written instructions of the Managing Trustee.
ARTICLE VII
REMEDIES UPON EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Section 7.1 Rights of Secured Party. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise on behalf of Purchaser all the rights of a secured
party under the UCC (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights are exercised)
and, in addition, without being required to give any notice, except as provided in this Agreement
or as may be required by mandatory provisions of law, shall: (i) deliver all Collateral consisting
of shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities (but not, in either case, in excess of the
number of shares deliverable under the Contract at such time) or other property to Purchaser on the
date of such Event of Default (in either case, the “Delivery Date”), whereupon Purchaser
shall hold such shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities or other property absolutely free
from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of Pledgor
which may be waived, and Pledgor, to the extent permitted by law, hereby specifically waives all
rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any law now existing or
hereafter adopted; and (ii) if such delivery shall be insufficient to satisfy in full all of the
obligations of Pledgor under the Contract, sell all of the remaining Collateral, or such lesser
portion of the remaining Collateral as may be necessary to generate proceeds sufficient to satisfy
in full all of the obligations of Pledgor under the Contract, at public or private sale or at any
broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and at
such price or prices as the Collateral Agent may deem satisfactory. Pledgor covenants and agrees
that it will execute and deliver such documents and take such other action as the Collateral Agent
deems necessary or advisable in order that any such sales may be made with the least amount of
costs and taxes and in compliance with law. Upon any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the
right to deliver, assign and transfer the Collateral so sold to the purchaser of such Collateral.
Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold absolutely and free from any
claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of Pledgor which may
be waived, and Pledgor, to the extent permitted by law, hereby specifically waives all rights of
redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any law now existing or hereafter
adopted. The notice (if any) of such sale required by Article 9 of the UCC shall (1) in case of a
public sale, state the time and place fixed for such sale, (2) in case of sale at a broker’s board
or on a securities exchange, state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the
day on which the Collateral, or the portion of such Collateral so being sold, will first be offered
for sale at such board or exchange, and (3) in the case of a private sale, state the day after
which such sale may be consummated. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within
ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix in the notice
of such sale. At any such sale the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate
parcels, as the Collateral Agent may determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to
make any such sale pursuant to
15
any such notice. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public
or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and
place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be
so adjourned. In case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or for future
delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the selling price is
paid by the purchaser of such Collateral, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in
case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of
any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice. The Collateral Agent,
instead of exercising the power of sale conferred upon it in this Agreement, may proceed by a suit
or suits at law or in equity to foreclose the security interests and sell the Collateral, or any
portion of such Collateral, under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent
jurisdiction.
Section 7.2 Power of Attorney. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, upon any delivery or sale of all or any part of any Collateral made either under the
power of delivery or sale given hereunder or under judgment or decree in any judicial proceedings
for foreclosure or otherwise for the enforcement of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent is hereby
irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney of Pledgor, in the name and stead of Pledgor, to
make all necessary deeds, bills of sale and instruments of assignment, transfer or conveyance of
the property thus delivered or sold. For that purpose the Collateral Agent may execute all such
documents and instruments. This power of attorney shall be deemed coupled with an interest, and
Pledgor hereby ratifies and confirms all that its attorneys acting under such power, or such
attorneys’ successors or agents, shall lawfully do by virtue of this Agreement. If so requested by
the Collateral Agent, by the Trustees or by any purchaser of the Collateral or a portion of the
Collateral, Pledgor shall further ratify and confirm any such delivery or sale by executing and
delivering to the Collateral Agent, to the Trustees or to such purchaser or purchasers at the
expense of Pledgor all proper deeds, bills of sale, instruments of assignment, conveyance of
transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request.
Section 7.3 Application of Collateral and Proceeds. In the case of an Event of
Default, the Collateral Agent may proceed to realize upon the security interest in the Collateral
against anyone or more of the types of Collateral, at anyone time, as the Collateral Agent shall
determine in its sole discretion subject to the foregoing provisions of this Article VII. The
proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, or other receipt from, any such Collateral
shall be applied by the Collateral Agent in the following order of priorities: first, to the
payment to the Collateral Agent of the expenses of such sale or other realization, including
reasonable compensation to the Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel, and all expenses,
liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith,
including brokerage fees in connection with the sale by the Collateral Agent of any Pledged Item;
second, to the payment to Purchaser of an amount equal to: (A) the aggregate Market Value of a
number of shares of Common Stock and, if a Spin-Off Distribution has occurred, Marketable
Securities distributed in such Spin-Off Distribution equal to (1) the number of shares of Common
Stock or Marketable Securities, as the case may be, required to be delivered under the Contract on
the Delivery Date minus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities, as the
case may be, delivered by the Collateral Agent to Purchaser on the Delivery Date as described
above; or (B) from and after a Reorganization Event, the sum of (1) the Cash Delivery Obligations
on the Delivery Date and (2) the aggregate Market Value on the Delivery Date of a
16
number of Marketable Securities distributed in such Reorganization Event equal to (x) the
number of such Marketable Securities permitted to be delivered on the Delivery Date under Section
6.2 of the Contract minus (y) the number of such Marketable Securities delivered by the Collateral
Agent to Purchaser on the Delivery Date as described above; together with, in either of cases (A)
and (B), any amounts due to Purchaser from Pledgor pursuant to Section 2.4(i)(ii) of the Trust
Agreement; and finally, if all of the obligations of Pledgor hereunder and under the Contract have
been fully discharged or sufficient funds have been set aside by the Collateral Agent at the
request of Pledgor for the discharge of such obligations, any remaining proceeds shall be released
to Pledgor.
ARTICLE VIII
THE COLLATERAL AGENT
Section 8.1 Conditions to Duties of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent
accepts its duties and responsibilities hereunder as agent for Purchaser, on and subject to the
following terms and conditions:
(a) Performance of Duties. The Collateral Agent undertakes to perform such
duties and only such duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and, beyond the
exercise of reasonable care in the performance of such duties, no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Collateral Agent. No provision of
this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Collateral Agent from liability for a
breach of its obligations under this Agreement or its own grossly negligent action, grossly
negligent failure to act, bad faith, wilful misconduct or reckless disregard of its duties.
In performing its duties, the following shall apply:
(i) The Collateral Agent may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of
such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of
an action taken or suffered hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such
advice or opinion of counsel.
(ii) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it in good faith (i) reasonably believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred on it by this
Agreement or (ii) in accordance with any direction or request of the Trustees.
(iii) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment made
in good faith by any of its officers, unless the Collateral Agent was grossly
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
(iv) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Collateral Agent may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
opinions expressed therein, upon any note, notice, resolution, consent, certificate,
affidavit, letter, telegram, teletype message, statement, order or other document
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the
proper Person or Persons.
17
(v) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Collateral Agent to expend
or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance
of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers,
if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
(vi) The Collateral Agent may perform any duties hereunder either directly or
by or through agents or attorneys, and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible
for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with
due care by it hereunder. In furtherance of the preceding sentence, any subsidiary
owned or controlled by the Collateral Agent, or its successors, as agent for the
Collateral Agent, may perform any or all of the duties of the Collateral Agent
relating to the valuation of securities and other instruments constituting
Collateral hereunder.
(vii) In no event shall the Collateral Agent be personally liable for any taxes
or other governmental charges imposed upon or in respect of (i) the Collateral or
(ii) the income or other distributions thereon.
(viii) Unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received notice from
Pledgor, Purchaser or any other Person, or unless and until a Responsible Officer of
the Collateral Agent shall have actual knowledge to the contrary, the Collateral
Agent shall be entitled to deem and treat all Collateral delivered to it hereunder
as Eligible Collateral hereunder, provided that the Collateral Agent has carried out
the duties specified in Article V with respect to such Collateral at the time of
delivery of such Collateral.
The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the correctness of the recitals and
statements in this Agreement that are made by Pledgor or for any statement or certificate delivered
by Pledgor pursuant to this Agreement, provided that the Collateral Agent has carried out the
duties specified in Article V with respect to such Collateral at the time of delivery of such
Collateral. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not be
responsible for the validity, sufficiency, collectibility or marketability of any Collateral given
to or held by it hereunder or for the validity or sufficiency of the Contract or the Lien on the
Collateral purported to be created hereby.
(b) Knowledge. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of
any Event of Default (except a Collateral Event of Default), unless and until a Responsible
Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have actual knowledge of such Event of Default or the
Collateral Agent shall have received written notice, delivered in accordance with Section
9.3, of such Event of Default. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge
of any Spin-Off Distribution, Reorganization Event or Dilution Adjustment unless and until a
Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have actual knowledge of such event or the
Collateral Agent shall have received written notice.
18
(c) Following an Event of Default by Pledgor, the Collateral Agent shall exercise such
remedies as provided in Article VII, Section 6.2 and as permitted at law in accordance with
the written instructions of the Managing Trustee.
Section 8.2 Merger. Any corporation or association into which the Collateral Agent
may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or
transfer its agency business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation
or association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which
it is a party, shall be and become the successor Collateral Agent hereunder and vested with all of
the title to the Collateral and all of the powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and other
matters as was its predecessor without, except as provided above, the execution or filing of any
instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of the parties to this
Agreement, anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 8.3 Resignation. Subject to Section 8.5, the Collateral Agent and any
successor Collateral Agent may at any time resign by giving 30 days’ written notice by registered
or certified mail to Pledgor and notice to Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of Section
9.3.
Section 8.4 Removal.
(a) Subject to Section 8.5, the Collateral Agent may be removed at any time by an
instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Collateral Agent and to
Pledgor and signed by Purchaser.
(b) Subject to Section 8.5, the Collateral Agent shall be removed immediately upon (i)
termination of the Trust Agreement, (ii) termination of the Administration Agreement (as
defined in the Trust Agreement), (iii) termination of the Paying Agent Agreement (as defined
in the Trust Agreement), (iv) termination of the Custodian Agreement (as defined in the
Trust Agreement), or the resignation or removal of the Administrator, the Paying Agent or
the Custodian (in each case as defined in the Trust Agreement).
Section 8.5 Effectiveness of Resignation or Removal. No resignation or removal of the
Collateral Agent shall be effective until a successor Collateral Agent shall have been appointed
and shall have accepted the duties of the Collateral Agent. If, within 30 days after notice by the
Collateral Agent to the Trust or by the Trust to the Collateral Agent of any such resignation or
removal, no successor Collateral Agent shall have been selected and accepted the duties of the
Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Collateral Agent.
Section 8.6 Appointment of Successor.
(a) If the Collateral Agent hereunder shall resign or be removed, or be dissolved or
shall be in the course of dissolution or liquidation or otherwise become incapable of action
hereunder, or if it shall be taken under the control of any public officer or officers or of
a receiver appointed by a court, a successor may be appointed by Purchaser by an instrument
or concurrent instruments in writing signed by Purchaser or
by its attorneys in fact duly authorized. A copy of such instrument or concurrent
instruments shall be sent by registered mail to Pledgor.
19
(b) Every such temporary or permanent successor Collateral Agent appointed pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement shall be a trust company or bank in good standing, having a
reported capital, surplus and retained earnings of not less than $100,000,000 and capable of
holding the Collateral in the State of New York, if there be such an institution willing,
qualified and able to accept the duties of the Collateral Agent hereunder upon customary
terms.
Section 8.7 Acceptance by Successor. Every temporary or permanent successor
Collateral Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and
also to Pledgor and Purchaser an instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder,
whereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested
with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessors. Such
predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of its successor or Pledgor, execute and
deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all the estates, properties, rights and powers
of such predecessor hereunder. Every predecessor Collateral Agent shall deliver all Collateral
held by it as the Collateral Agent hereunder to its successor. Should any instrument in writing
from Pledgor be required by a successor Collateral Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in
such successor the estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby vested or
intended to be vested in the predecessor, any and all such instruments in writing shall, at the
request of the temporary or permanent successor Collateral Agent, be forthwith executed,
acknowledged and delivered by Pledgor.
Section 8.8 Compensation. For services to be rendered by the Collateral Agent
pursuant to this Agreement, the Administrator shall receive only such fees and expenses as shall be
paid to it pursuant to the terms of the Indemnity Agreement and shall have no recourse to the
assets of Purchaser for the payment of any such amounts.
Section 8.9 Indemnification. The Trust shall indemnify and hold the Collateral Agent,
its agents, servants, officers, employees and directors, harmless from and against any loss,
damages, cost or expense (including the costs of investigation, preparation for and defense of
legal and/or administrative proceedings related to a claim against it and reasonable attorneys’
fees and disbursements), liability or claim incurred by reason of any inaccuracy in information
furnished to the Collateral Agent by the Trust or the Pledgor, or any act or omission in the course
of, connected with or arising out of any services to be rendered hereunder; provided that
the Collateral Agent shall not be indemnified and held harmless from and against any such loss,
damages, cost, expense, liability or claim incurred by reason of its breach of its obligations
under this Agreement, willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its
duties, or its reckless disregard of its duties and obligations hereunder. Such indemnity shall
survive the resignation, removal or discharge of the Collateral Agent and the termination of this
Agreement.
20
ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 9.1 Termination. This Agreement and the rights hereby granted by Pledgor in
the Collateral shall cease, terminate and be void upon fulfillment of all of the obligations of
Pledgor under the Contract, and Pledgor shall have no further liability hereunder upon such
termination. Any Collateral remaining at the time of such termination (including any shares of
Common Stock held following Pledgor’s election of the Cash Settlement Alternative and payment in
respect of the Cash Settlement Alternative pursuant to the Contract), shall be fully released and
discharged from the Lien created by this Agreement and delivered to Pledgor by the Collateral
Agent, all at the expense of Pledgor.
Section 9.2 No Assumption of Liability. By executing this Agreement, none of the
Trustees assumes any personal liability under this Agreement. The Trust Agreement was executed or

21
Section 9.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York; provided that as to Collateral located
in any jurisdiction other than the State of New York, the Collateral Agent on behalf of Purchaser
shall have all of the rights to which a secured party is entitled under the laws of such other
jurisdiction.
Section 9.5 Severability. To the extent permitted by law, the unenforceability or
invalidity of any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not render any other provision or
provisions contained in this Agreement unenforceable or invalid.
Section 9.6 Entire Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, this
Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter of
this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, both written
and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.
Section 9.7 Amendments; Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or
waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retrospectively or prospectively)
if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by
the parties hereto or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be
effective. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power or privilege under
this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of
such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights
and remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or
remedies provided by law.
Section 9.8 Non-Assignability. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the
parties under this Agreement may not be assigned or delegated by any party without the prior
written consent of the other parties (except, with respect to the Collateral Agent, to a successor
Collateral Agent appointed pursuant to Section 8.6), and any purported assignment without such
consent shall be void.
22
Section 9.9 No Third Party Rights; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is not
intended and shall not be construed to create any rights in any person other than the parties
hereto and their respective successors and assigns and no person shall assert any rights as third
party beneficiary under this Agreement. Whenever any of the parties to this Agreement is referred
to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party. All the
covenants and agreements in this Agreement contained by or on behalf of the parties hereto shall
bind, and inure to the benefit of, their respective successors and assigns whether so expressed or
not, including without limitation, the estate of Pledgor, and the executor, administrator, personal
representative, of such Pledgor, as well as such Pledgor’s heirs, assigns, beneficiaries,
transferees and distributees, or any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or representative of such
Pledgor’s creditors, and shall be enforceable by and inure to the benefit of Purchaser and its
successors and assigns. In addition, within three months of the appointment of
a personal representative of the estate of any deceased Pledgor, such personal representative
shall enter into an agreement assuming all of the obligations of this Agreement and agreeing not to
challenge this Agreement, and failure to do so shall be an Event of Default hereunder.
Section 9.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed, acknowledged and delivered
in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall
constitute a single agreement, with the same effect as if the signatures on each such counterpart
were upon the same instrument.
