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 Common Stock. In the case of Collateral consisting of shares of Common
Stock, by either (1) delivery to the Collateral Agent of one or more certificates representing such
shares of Common Stock, registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee or duly
endorsed in blank or accompanied by undated stock powers duly endorsed in blank, or (2) if such
shares of Common Stock are not held in certificated form but are held in book-entry form by The
Depository Trust Company or any other comparable depositary, transfer of such shares of Common
Stock to an account of 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;
(b) 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
(c) Pledged Marketable Securities. In the case of Collateral consisting of Marketable
Securities, by either (1) delivery of certificates evidencing such Marketable 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 Marketable 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 with The Depository Trust
Company or such other depositary, as applicable. Each such delivery of Marketable Securities 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 Marketable Securities.
11
(d) 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 reasonably 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
connection therewith to determine that they comply as to form 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 such next 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 manner 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 manner 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. 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.
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, Seller 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.
If directed by the Trust upon Seller’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.
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 in U.S. Government Securities maturing
before November 1, 2012 as directed by the Managing Trustee.
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, upon
receiving a written request from Pledgor, 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. 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 any one or more of the types of Collateral, at any one 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 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.
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.
18
Section 8.3 Resignation. Subject to Section 8.5, the Collateral Agent and any
successor Collateral Agent may at any time resign by giving 60 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.
(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.
19
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 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 Seller’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.

this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, both written

Section 9.6 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
Pledgor, the Collateral Agent and Purchaser 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 9.7 Non-Assignability. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the

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

intended and shall not be construed to create any rights in any person other than Pledgor, the
Collateral Agent and Purchaser 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
Pledgor, the Collateral Agent and Purchaser 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 9.9 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
