Each Normal Unit will be comprised of (a) a stock purchase contract

equal to the Settlement Rate, and (b) a 1/20 undivided beneficial interest in a
zero-coupon U.S. Treasury Security (CUSIP No. 000000XX0)
2
maturing on May 15, 2004 that will pay $1,000 on such maturity date (the

-----------------
liquidation value equal to the Stated Amount, in exchange for the 7.00%

the TRADES Regulations or the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted and in effect
in any applicable jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent shall be the agent of the
Company as provided herein.

The pledge provided in this Section 2.1 is herein referred to as the
"Pledge" and the Trust Preferred Securities (or the Notes that are delivered
------
pursuant to Section 6.2), Treasury Consideration or Treasury Securities subject
to the Pledge, excluding any Trust Preferred Securities (or the Notes that are
delivered pursuant to Section 6.2), Treasury Consideration or Treasury
Securities released from the Pledge as provided in Sections 4.1 and 4.2,
respectively, are hereinafter referred to as "Pledged Trust Preferred
-----------------------
Securities," "Pledged Treasury Consideration" or the "Pledged Treasury
---------- ------------------------------ ----------------
Securities," respectively. Subject to the Pledge and the provisions of Section

Collateral. Whenever directed by the Collateral Agent acting on behalf of the
Company, the Securities Intermediary shall have the right to reregister the

Except as may be required in order to release Trust Preferred
Securities or Treasury Consideration, as applicable, in connection with a

Unit, or except as otherwise required to release Trust Preferred Securities as
specified herein, neither the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent nor the
Securities Intermediary shall relinquish physical possession of any certificate

physical possession of a certificate in order to release a portion of the Trust
Preferred Securities evidenced thereby from the Pledge, the Securities
Intermediary shall use its best efforts to obtain physical possession of a
replacement certificate evidencing any Trust Preferred Securities remaining
subject to the Pledge hereunder registered to it or endorsed in blank within
fifteen days of the date it relinquished possession. The Securities Intermediary
shall promptly notify the Company and the Collateral Agent of the Securities
Intermediary's failure to obtain possession of any such replacement certificate
as required hereby.

Intermediary (without the necessity of obtaining the further consent of the
Purchase Contract Agent or any of the Holders), and the Securities Intermediary
agrees, to comply with and follow any instructions and entitlement orders (as
defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the Code) that the Collateral Agent may
deliver upon the written direction of the Company with respect to the Collateral
Account, the Collateral credited thereto and any Security Entitlements with
respect to any thereof. In the event the Securities Intermediary receives from
the Holders or the Purchase Contract Agent entitlement orders which conflict
with entitlement orders received from the Collateral Agent, the Securities
Intermediary shall follow the entitlement orders received from the Collateral
Agent. Such instructions and entitlement orders may, without limitation, direct
the Securities Intermediary to transfer, redeem, assign, or otherwise deliver
the Trust Preferred Securities, the Treasury Consideration, the Treasury
Securities, and any Security Entitlements with respect thereto or sell,
liquidate or dispose of such assets through a broker designated by the Company,
and to pay and deliver any income, proceeds or other funds derived therefrom to
the Company. The Holders from time to time acting through the Purchase Contract
Agent hereby further authorize and direct the Collateral Agent, as agent of the
Company, to, upon written direction of the Company, itself issue instructions
and entitlement orders, and to otherwise take action, with respect to the
Collateral Account, the Collateral
8
credited thereto and any Security Entitlements with respect thereto, pursuant to
the terms and provisions hereof, all without the necessity of obtaining the
further consent of the Purchase Contract Agent or any of the Holders. The
Collateral Agent shall be the agent of the Company and shall act as directed in
writing by the Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Collateral Agent shall issue entitlement orders to the Securities Intermediary
when and as directed in writing by the Company.
(b) The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms and agrees that: (i)
all securities or other property underlying any financial assets credited to the
Collateral Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities
Intermediary, or its nominee, indorsed to the Securities Intermediary, or its
nominee, or in blank or credited to another Collateral Account maintained in the
name of the Securities Intermediary and in no case will any financial asset
credited to the Collateral Account be registered in the name of the Purchase
Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Company or any Holder, payable to the
order of, or specially indorsed to, the Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral
Agent, the Company or any Holder except to the extent the foregoing have been
specially indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or in blank; (ii) all property
delivered to the Securities Intermediary pursuant to this Pledge Agreement
(including, without limitation, any Trust Preferred Securities, the Treasury
Consideration or Treasury Securities) will be promptly credited to the
Collateral Account; (iii) the Collateral Account is an account to which
financial assets are or may be credited, and the Securities Intermediary shall,
subject to the terms of this Agreement, treat the Purchase Contract Agent as
entitled to exercise the rights of any financial asset credited to the
Collateral Account; (iv) the Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and
until the termination of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with
any other person relating to the Collateral Account and/or any financial assets
credited thereto pursuant to which it has agreed to comply with entitlement
orders (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the Code) of such other person; and
(v) the Securities Intermediary has not entered into, and until the termination
of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with the Company, the
Collateral Agent or the Purchase Contract Agent purporting to limit or condition
the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to comply with entitlement orders
as set forth in this Section 2.2.
(c) The Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that each item of
property (whether investment property, financial asset, security, instrument or
cash) credited to the Collateral Account shall be treated as a "financial asset"
within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the Code.
(d) In the event of any conflict between this Agreement (or any
portion thereof) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into,
the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.
(e) The Purchase Contract Agent hereby irrevocably constitutes and
appoints the Collateral Agent and the Company, with full power of substitution,
as the Purchase Contract Agent's attorney-in-fact to take on behalf of, and in
the name, place and stead of the Purchase Contract Agent and the Holders, any
action necessary or desirable to perfect and to keep perfected the security
interest in the Collateral referred to in Section 2.1. The grant of such
power-of-attorney shall not be deemed to require of the Collateral Agent any
specific duties or obligations not otherwise assumed by the Collateral Agent
hereunder. Notwithstanding the
9
foregoing, in no event shall the Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary or
Purchase Contract Agent be responsible for the preparation or filing of any
financing or continuation statements in the appropriate jurisdictions or
responsible for maintenance or perfection of any Security Interest hereunder.
(f) On the date of initial issuance of the Securities, the Company
shall file in the Office of the Secretary of the State of New York, a financing
statement signed by the Purchase Contract Agent, as attorney-in-fact for the
Holders, as debtors, and the Collateral Agent, describing the Collateral.

is received by the Collateral Agent (provided that in the event such
payment is received by the Collateral Agent on a day that is not a Business

payment shall be made no later than 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on the

the Business Day such payment is received by the Collateral Agent (provided

Amount on account of any Trust Preferred Security or principal of any Treasury
Consideration, as applicable, that, at the time of such payment, is a Pledged
Trust Preferred Security or Pledged Treasury Consideration, as the case may be,
or a Holder of a Stripped Unit shall receive any payments of principal on
account of any Treasury Securities that, at the time of such payment, are
Pledged Treasury Securities, the Purchase Contract Agent or such Holder shall
hold the same as trustee of an express trust for the benefit of the Company (and
promptly deliver the same over to the Company) for application to the
obligations of the Holders under the related Purchase Contracts, and the Holders
shall acquire no right, title or interest in any such payments of Stated Amount
or principal so received.
ARTICLE IV. SUBSTITUTION, RELEASE, REPLEDGE AND
SETTLEMENT OF TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES
SECTION 4.1. Substitution for Trust Preferred Securities or Treasury
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Consideration and the Creation of Stripped Units. So long as no Tax Event
------------------------------------------------
Redemption shall have occurred, and the Trust shall not have been wound up,
liquidated or terminated, at any time on or prior to the second Business Day
immediately preceding the Stock Purchase Date, a Holder of Normal Units shall
have the right to substitute Treasury Securities for the Pledged Trust Preferred
Securities or Pledged Treasury Consideration, as the case may be, securing such
Holder's obligations under the Purchase Contracts comprising a part of such
Normal Units, in integral multiples of 20 Normal Units, or after a remarketing
of the Trust Preferred Securities, in integral multiples of Normal Units such
that Treasury Securities to be deposited and the applicable Treasury
Consideration to be released are in integral multiples of $1,000, by (a)
Transferring to the Collateral Agent Treasury Securities having an aggregate
principal amount equal to the aggregate Stated Amount of such Normal Units and
(b) delivering such Normal Units to the Purchase Contract Agent, accompanied by
a notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, to the Purchase
Contract Agent stating that such Holder has Transferred Treasury Securities to
the Collateral Agent pursuant to clause (a) above (stating the principal amount,
the maturities and the CUSIP numbers of the Treasury Securities Transferred by
such Holder) and requesting that the Purchase Contract Agent instruct the
Collateral Agent to release from the Pledge the Pledged Trust Preferred
Securities or Pledged Treasury Consideration, as the case may be, related to
such Normal Units, whereupon the Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly give
such instruction to the Collateral Agent in the form provided in Exhibit A
hereto. Upon receipt of Treasury Securities from a Holder of Normal Units and
the related instruction from the Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent
shall release the Pledged Trust Preferred Securities or Pledged Treasury
Consideration, as the case may be, and shall promptly Transfer such Pledged
Trust Preferred Securities or Pledged Treasury Consideration, as the case may
be, free and clear of any lien, pledge or security interest created hereby, to
the Purchase Contract Agent. All items Transferred and/or substituted by any
Holder pursuant to this Section 4.1,
11
Section 4.2 or any other Section of this Agreement shall be Transferred and/or
substituted free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances.
(b) Tax Event Redemption.
--------------------
Upon the occurrence of a Tax Event Redemption prior
to the Stock Purchase Date, the Redemption Price payable on the Tax Event
Redemption Date with respect to the Applicable Principal Amount shall be
deposited in the Collateral Account in exchange for the Pledged Treasury
Securities or the Pledged Trust Preferred Securities, as the case may be.
Thereafter, pursuant to the terms of the Pledge Agreement, the Collateral Agent
shall cause the Securities Intermediary to apply an amount equal to the
Redemption Amount of such Redemption Price to purchase on behalf of the Holders
of Normal Units the Treasury Portfolio and promptly remit the remaining portion
of such Redemption Price, if any, to the Purchase Contract Agent for payment to
the Holders of such Normal Units. The Applicable Ownership Interest (as
specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) of the Treasury
Portfolio will be substituted as Collateral for the Pledged Treasury Securities
or the Pledged Trust Preferred Securities, and will be held by the Collateral
Agent in accordance with the terms of the Pledge Agreement to secure the
obligation of each Holder of Normal Units to purchase the Common Stock of the
Company under the Purchase Contract constituting a part of such Normal Units.
The Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (B) of the definition
of such term) of the Treasury Portfolio shall be transferred by the Securities
Intermediary to the Purchase Contract Agent, free and clear of any lien, pledge
or security interest created by the Pledge Agreement. Following the occurrence
of a Tax Event Redemption prior to the Stock Purchase Date, the Holders of
Normal Units and the Collateral Agent shall have such security interest rights
and obligations with respect to the Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified
in clause (A) of the definition of such term) of the Treasury Portfolio as the
Holders of Normal Units and the Collateral Agent had in respect of the Treasury
Securities or Trust Preferred Securities, as the case may be, subject to the
Pledge thereof as provided in Articles II, III, IV, V, and VI of the Pledge
Agreement, and any reference herein to the Treasury Securities or the Trust
Preferred Securities shall be deemed to be reference to such Treasury Portfolio.
The Company may cause to be made in any Normal Units Certificates thereafter to
be issued such change in phraseology and form (but not in substance) as may be
appropriate to reflect the liquidation of the Trust and the substitution of the
Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of
such term) of the Treasury Portfolio for Treasury Securities or Trust Preferred
Securities as Collateral. If a Tax Event Redemption occurs after the Stock
Purchase Date, the Treasury Portfolio will not be purchased and the proceeds
applicable to the Trusts Preferred Securities will be distributed to the
Purchase Contract Agent for payment to the holders of the Trust Preferred
Securities. If a Tax Event Redemption occurs, Holders of Securities that are not
part of the Units will directly receive proceeds from the redemption of the
Notes.
(c) If no Tax Event Redemption shall have occurred, but the Trust
shall have been wound-up, liquidated or terminated, and the Subordinated Notes
shall have become a component of the Normal Units, at any time on or prior to
the seventh Business Day immediately preceding the Stock Purchase Date, a Holder
of Normal Units shall have the right to substitute Treasury Securities for the
Pledged Subordinated Notes comprising a part of such Holder's Normal Units in
integral multiples of 20 Normal Units by (a) Transferring to the Securities
Intermediary for credit to the Collateral Account Treasury Securities having a
value equal to the aggregate principal amount at maturity of Pledged
Subordinated Notes to be released,
12
accompanied by a notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the Purchase
Contract Agreement, whereupon the Purchase Contract Agent shall deliver to the
Collateral Agent a notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, (i)
stating that such Holder has Transferred Treasury Securities to the Securities
Intermediary for credit to the Collateral Account, (ii) stating the value of the
Treasury Securities Transferred by such Holder and (iii) requesting that the
Collateral Agent release from the Pledge the Pledged Subordinated Notes that are
a component of such Normal Units and (b) delivering the related Normal Units to
the Purchase Contract Agent. Upon receipt of such notice and confirmation that
Treasury Securities have been credited to the Collateral Account as described in
such notice, the Collateral Agent shall instruct the Securities Intermediary by
a notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit [B] hereto, to release such
Pledged Subordinated Notes from the Pledge by Transfer to the Purchase Contract
Agent for distribution to such Holder.
(d) Upon credit to the Collateral Account of Treasury Securities
delivered by a Holder of Normal Units and receipt of the related instruction
from the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary shall release the Pledged
Treasury Securities or the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified
in clause (B) of the definition of such term) of the Treasury Portfolio or the
Pledged Trust Preferred Securities, as the case may be, and shall promptly
transfer the same to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to such
Holder, free and clear of any lien, pledge or security interest created hereby.
SECTION 4.2. Substitution for Treasury Securities and the Creation
------------------------------------------------------------------
of Normal Units. So long as no Tax Event Redemption shall have occurred, and
---------------
the Trust shall not have been wound up, liquidated or terminated, at any time on
or prior to the second Business Day immediately preceding the Stock Purchase
Date, a Holder of Stripped Units shall have the right to reestablish Normal
Units (a) consisting of the Purchase Contracts and Trust Preferred Securities in
integral multiples of 20 Normal Units, or (a) after a remarketing of the Trust
Preferred Securities or a Tax Event Redemption pursuant to the Purchase Contract
Agreement, consisting of the Purchase Contracts and the appropriate Treasury
Consideration (identified and calculated by reference to the Treasury
Consideration then comprising Normal Units) in integral multiples of Stripped
Units such that the Treasury Consideration to be deposited and the Treasury
Securities to be released are in integral multiples of $1,000, by (x)
Transferring to the Collateral Agent Trust Preferred Securities or the
appropriate Treasury Consideration, as the case may be, then comprising such
number of Normal Units as is equal to such Stripped Units and (y) delivering
such Stripped Units to the Purchase Contract Agent, accompanied by a notice,
substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, to the Purchase Contract Agent
stating that such Holder has transferred Trust Preferred Securities or Treasury
Consideration to the Collateral Agent pursuant to clause (a) above and
requesting that the Purchase Contract Agent instruct the Collateral Agent to
release from the Pledge the Pledged Treasury Securities related to such Stripped
Units, whereupon the Purchase Contract Agent shall give such instruction to the
Collateral Agent in the form provided in Exhibit A. Upon receipt of the Trust
Preferred Securities or the appropriate Treasury Consideration, as the case may
be, from such Holder and the instruction from the Purchase Contract Agent, the
Collateral Agent shall release the Pledged Treasury Securities and shall
promptly Transfer such Treasury Securities, free and clear of any lien, pledge
or security interest created hereby, to the Purchase Contract Agent.
13
(b) If a Tax Event Redemption has occurred and the Treasury
Portfolio has become a component of the Normal Units, at any time on or prior to
the second Business Day immediately preceding the Stock Purchase Date, a Holder
of Stripped Units shall have the right to reestablish Normal Units by
substitution of an Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of
the definition of such term) of the Treasury Portfolio for Pledged Treasury
Securities in integral multiples of 20 Stripped Units by (a) Transferring to
the Securities Intermediary for credit to the Collateral Account an Applicable
Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term)
of the Treasury Portfolio equal to the value of the Pledged Treasury Securities
to be released, accompanied by a notice, substantially in the form provided in
Exhibit C to the Purchase Contract Agreement, whereupon the Purchase Contract
Agent shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a notice, substantially in the form
of Exhibit C hereto, stating that such Holder has Transferred an Applicable
Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term)
of the Treasury Portfolio to the Securities Intermediary for credit to the
Collateral Account and requesting that the Collateral Agent release from the
Pledge the Pledged Treasury Securities related to such Stripped Units and (b)
delivering the related Stripped Units to the Purchase Contract Agent. Upon
receipt of such notice and confirmation that an Applicable Ownership Interest
(as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) of the Treasury
Portfolio equal to the value of the Pledged Treasury Securities to be released
has been credited to the Collateral Account as described in such notice, the
Collateral Agent shall instruct the Securities Intermediary by a notice in the
form provided in Exhibit [D] to release such Pledged Treasury Securities from
the Pledge by Transfer to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to such
Holder.
(c) If no Tax Event Redemption shall have occurred, but the Trust
shall have been wound-up, liquidated or terminated, and the Subordinated Notes
shall have become a component of the Normal Units, at any time on or prior to
the seventh Business Day immediately preceding the Stock Purchase Date, a Holder
of Stripped Units shall have the right to reestablish Normal Units by
substitution of Subordinated Notes for Pledged Treasury Securities in integral
multiples of 20 Stripped Units by (a) Transferring to the Securities
Intermediary for credit to the Collateral Account Subordinated Notes having a
principal amount equal to the value of the Pledged Treasury Securities to be
released, accompanied by a notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the
Purchase Contract Agreement, whereupon the Purchase Contract Agent shall deliver
to the Collateral Agent a notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit [C]
hereto, stating that such Holder has Transferred Subordinated Notes to the
Securities Intermediary for credit to the Collateral Account and requesting that
the Collateral Agent release from the Pledge the Pledged Treasury Securities
related to such Stripped Units and (2) delivering the related Stripped Units to
the Purchase Contract Agent. Upon receipt of such notice and confirmation that

such notice, the Collateral Agent shall instruct the Security Intermediary by a
notice in the form provided in Exhibit D to release such Pledged Treasury
Securities from the Pledge by Transfer to the Purchase Contract Agent for

(d) Upon credit to the Collateral Account of Trust Preferred
Securities or security entitlements thereto, or an appropriate Applicable
Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term)
of the Treasury Portfolio or Trust Preferred Securities, as the case may be, and
receipt of the related instruction from the Collateral Agent, the Securities
Intermediary shall release the applicable Pledged Treasury Securities and shall
promptly
14
Transfer the same to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to
such Holder, free and clear of any lien, pledge or security interest created
hereby.
SECTION 4.3. Termination Event. Upon receipt by the Collateral Agent
------------------------------
of written notice from the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent that there has
occurred a Termination Event, the Collateral Agent shall release all Collateral
from the Pledge and shall promptly Transfer (a) any Pledged Trust Preferred
Securities or Pledged Treasury Consideration, as the case may be,(if a Tax Event
Redemption has occurred and the Treasury Portfolio has become a component of the
Normal Units) or the Pledged Trust Preferred Securities (if the Trust has been
wound-up, liquidated or terminated, and the Trust Preferred Securities have
become a component of the Normal Units) and any Pledged Treasury Securities to
the Purchase Contract Agent for the benefit of the Holders of the Normal Units
and the Stripped Units, respectively, free and clear of any lien, pledge or
security interest or other interest created hereby.
If such Termination Event shall result from the Company's becoming a
debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, and if the Collateral Agent shall for any
reason fail promptly to effectuate the release and Transfer of all Pledged Trust
Preferred Securities, Pledged Treasury Consideration or of the Pledged Treasury
Securities, as the case may be, as provided by this Section 4.3, the Purchase
Contract Agent shall (i) use its best efforts to obtain an opinion of a
nationally recognized law firm reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent to
the effect that, as a result of the Company's being the debtor in such a
bankruptcy case, the Collateral Agent will not be prohibited from releasing or
Transferring the Collateral as provided in this Section 4.3, and shall deliver
such opinion to the Collateral Agent within ten calendar days after the
occurrence of such Termination Event, and if (y) the Purchase Contract Agent
shall be unable to obtain such opinion within ten calendar days after the
occurrence of such Termination Event or (z) the Collateral Agent shall continue,
after delivery of such opinion, to refuse to effectuate the release and Transfer
of all Pledged Trust Preferred Securities, Pledged Treasury Consideration or
Pledged Treasury Securities, as the case may be, as provided in this Section
4.3, then the Purchase Contract Agent shall within fifteen calendar days after
the occurrence of such Termination Event commence an action or proceeding in the
court with jurisdiction of the Company's case under the Bankruptcy Code seeking
an order requiring the Collateral Agent to effectuate the release and transfer
of all Pledged Trust Preferred Securities, Pledged Treasury Consideration or
Pledged Treasury Securities, as the case may be, as provided by this Section 4.3
or (ii) commence an action or proceeding like that described in subsection
(i)(z) hereof within ten calendar days after the occurrence of such Termination
Event.
SECTION 4.4. Early Settlement; Merger Early Settlement. Upon written
------------------------------------------------------
notice to the Collateral Agent by the Purchase Contract Agent that one or more
Holders of Securities have elected to effect Early Settlement or Merger Early
Settlement of their respective obligations under the Purchase Contracts forming
a part of such Securities in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Contracts
and the Purchase Contract Agreement (setting forth the number of such Purchase
Contracts as to which such Holders have elected to effect Early Settlement or
Merger Early Settlement), and that the Purchase Contract Agent has received from
such Holders, and paid to the Company as confirmed in writing by the Company,
the related Early Settlement Amounts or Merger Early Settlement Amounts, as the
case may be, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Contracts and the Purchase
Contract Agreement, and that all conditions to such Early Settlement or Merger
Early Settlement, as the case may be, have been satisfied, then the
15
Collateral Agent shall release from the Pledge, (a) Pledged Trust Preferred
Securities or Pledged Treasury Consideration, as the case may be, in the case of
a Holder of Normal Units or (b) Pledged Treasury Securities, in the case of a
Holder of Stripped Units , relating to such Purchase Contracts as to which such
Holders have elected to effect Early Settlement or Merger Early Settlement, and
shall Transfer all such Pledged Trust Preferred Securities, Pledged Treasury
Consideration or Pledged Treasury Securities, as the case may be, free and clear
of the Pledge created hereby, to the Purchase Contract Agent for the benefit of
the Holders.
SECTION 4.5. Remarketing; Application of Proceeds; Settlement. (a)
-------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to the Purchase Contract Agreement, the Purchase Contract Agent shall
notify, by 3:00 pm., New York City time, on the [second] Business Day
immediately preceding the Remarketing Date or any Subsequent Remarketing Date,
as the case may be, the Remarketing Agent and the Collateral Agent of the
aggregate number of Trust Preferred Securities comprising part of Normal Units
to be remarketed. The Collateral Agent shall deliver, by 10:00 a.m., New York
City time, on the first Business Day immediately preceding the Remarketing Date
or any Subsequent Remarketing Date, as the case may be: (i) the Pledged Trust
Preferred Securities to be remarketed to the Remarketing Agent for remarketing,
without any instruction from Holders of Normal Units, and (ii) upon (a) written
notice, pursuant to the Purchase Contract Agreement, from such Holders that have
elected to not participate in the remarketing and b) the delivery by such
Holders of the Opt-out Treasury Consideration to the Collateral Agent (in
substitution for such previously Pledged Trust Preferred Securities the
remaining Pledged Trust Preferred Securities), the remaining Pledged Trust
Preferred Securities to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to such
Holders.. The Remarketing Agent will deliver the Agent-purchased Treasury
Consideration (as defined in the Purchase Contract Agreement) purchased from the
proceeds of the remarketing to the Purchase Contract Agent, which shall
thereupon deliver such Agent-purchased Treasury Consideration to the Collateral
Agent. Upon receipt of the Agent-purchased Treasury Consideration from the
Purchase Contract Agent following a successful remarketing, the Collateral
Agent, for the benefit of the Company, shall thereupon deposit such Treasury
Consideration into the Collateral Account to secure such Holders' obligations
under the Purchase Contracts. On the Stock Purchase Date, the Collateral Agent
shall apply that portion of the payments received in respect of the Pledged
Treasury Consideration equal to the aggregate Stated Amount of the related
Normal Units to satisfy in full the obligations of such Holders of Normal Units
to pay the Purchase Price under the related Purchase Contracts. The remaining
portion of such Proceeds, if any, shall be distributed by the Collateral Agent
to the Purchase Contract Agent for prompt payment to such Holders.
Within three Business Days following a Failed Remarketing, the Trust
Preferred Securities delivered to the Remarketing Agent and the Purchase
Contract Agent pursuant to Section 4.5(a) shall be returned to the Collateral
Agent, together with written notice from the Remarketing Agent of the Failed
Remarketing. The Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Company, shall
thereupon deposit such Trust Preferred Securities into the Collateral Account,
to secure the Normal Units Holders' obligations under the Purchase Contracts.
The Remarketing Agent may make one or more attempts to remarket the Trust
Preferred Securities in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Purchase
Contract Agreement and the Remarketing Agreement between the Remarketing Date
and the Stock Purchase Date, provided that the requirements of Section
5.2(b)(ii) of the Purchase Contract Agreement have been met. If by the Stock
Purchase Date the Remarketing Agent has failed to remarket the Trust Preferred
Securities
16
at 100.25% of the Remarketing Value (as described in the Purchase Contract
Agreement), the Remarketing Agent shall advise the Collateral Agent in writing
that it cannot remarket the related Pledged Trust Preferred Securities of such
Holders of Normal Units. The Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Company
will, at the written direction of the Company, retain or dispose of the Pledged
Trust Preferred Securities in accordance with applicable law and satisfy in
full, from any such disposition or retention, such Holders' obligations to pay
the Purchase Price for the Common Stock; provided, that if upon a Failed
Remarketing, the Collateral Agent exercises such rights for the benefit of the
Company with respect to such Trust Preferred Securities, any accumulated and
unpaid distributions on such Trust Preferred Securities will become payable by
the Company to the Purchase Contract Agent for payment to the Holder of the
Normal Units to which such Trust Preferred Securities relates in accordance with
the Purchase Contract Agreement.
(b) In the event a Holder of Stripped Units has not made an Early
Settlement or Merger Early Settlement of the Purchase Contracts underlying its
Stripped Units , such Holder shall be deemed to have elected to pay for the
shares of Common Stock to be issued under such Purchase Contracts from the
payments received in respect of the related Pledged Treasury Securities. Without
receiving any instruction from any such Holder of Stripped Units, the
Collateral Agent shall apply such payments to the settlement of such Purchase
Contracts on the Stock Purchase Date. In the event the payments received in
respect of the related Pledged Treasury Securities are in excess of the
aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchase Contracts being settled thereby, the
Collateral Agent shall promptly distribute such excess, when received, to the
Purchase Contract Agent for the benefit of the Holders.
(c) Pursuant to the Remarketing Agreement, on or prior to the
[second] Business Day immediately preceding the Remarketing Date, but no earlier
than the Payment Date immediately preceding the Remarketing Date, holders of
Separate Trust Preferred Securities may elect to have their Separate Trust
Preferred Securities remarketed by delivering their Separate Trust Preferred
Securities, together with a notice of such election, substantially in the form
of Exhibit C hereto, to the Custodial Agent. On the [third] Business Day
immediately preceding the Remarketing Date, by 10:00 a.m., New York City time,
the Custodial Agent shall notify the Remarketing Agent of the number of such
Separate Trust Preferred Securities to be remarketed unless any of such holders
of Separate Trust Preferred Securities exercise their right to withdraw as
described below. The Custodial Agent will hold such Separate Trust Preferred
Securities in an account separate from the Collateral Account. A holder of
Separate Trust Preferred Securities electing to have its Separate Trust
Preferred Securities remarketed will also have the right to withdraw such
election by written notice to the Custodial Agent, substantially in the form of
Exhibit D hereto, on or prior to the second Business Day immediately preceding
the Remarketing Date and any Subsequent Remarketing Date, upon which notice the
Custodial Agent will return such Separate Trust Preferred Securities to such
holder. [On the [first] Business Day immediately preceding the Remarketing Date
or any Subsequent Remarketing Date][discuss], the Custodial Agent will deliver
to the Remarketing Agent for remarketing all Separate Trust Preferred Securities
delivered to the Custodial Agent pursuant to this Section 4.5(c) and not
withdrawn pursuant to the terms hereof prior to such date. The portion of the
proceeds from such remarketing equal to the amount calculated in respect of such
Separate Trust Preferred Securities as set forth in Section 5.2(b) of the
Purchase Contract Agreement will automatically be remitted promptly by the
Remarketing Agent to the Custodial Agent for the
17
benefit of the holders of such Separate Trust Preferred Securities. In addition,
after deducting as the remarketing fee an amount not exceeding 25 basis points
(.25%) of the total proceeds of such remarketing, the Remarketing Agent will
remit to the Custodial Agent the remaining portion of the proceeds, if any, for
the benefit of such holders. If, despite using its reasonable best efforts, the
Remarketing Agent advises the Custodial Agent in writing that there has been a
Failed Remarketing, the Remarketing Agent will promptly return such Trust
Preferred Securities to the Custodial Agent for redelivery to such holders. In
the event of a dissolution of the Trust and the distribution of the Notes as
described in the Declaration, all references to "Separate Trust Preferred
Securities" in this Section 4.5(c) shall be deemed to be references to Notes
which are not pledged hereunder or required to be part of the Collateral.
ARTICLE V. VOTING RIGHTS -- TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES
The Purchase Contract Agent may exercise, or refrain from
exercising, any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the
Pledged Trust Preferred Securities or any part thereof for any purpose not
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and in accordance with the terms
of the Purchase Contract Agreement; provided, that the Purchase Contract Agent
--------
shall not exercise or, as the case may be, shall not refrain from exercising
such right if, in the judgment of the Company, such action would impair or
otherwise have a material adverse effect on the value of all or any of the
Pledged Trust Preferred Securities; and provided, further, that the Purchase
--------
Contract Agent shall give the Company and the Collateral Agent at least five
days' prior written notice of the manner in which it intends to exercise, or its
reasons for refraining from exercising, any such right. Upon receipt of any
notices and other communications in respect of any Pledged Trust Preferred
Securities, including notice of any meeting at which holders of Trust Preferred
Securities are entitled to vote or solicitation of consents, waivers or proxies
of holders of Trust Preferred Securities, the Collateral Agent shall use
reasonable efforts to send promptly to the Purchase Contract Agent such notice
or communication, and as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of a
written request therefor from the Purchase Contract Agent, execute and deliver
to the Purchase Contract Agent such proxies and other instruments in respect of
such Pledged Trust Preferred Securities (in form and substance satisfactory to
the Collateral Agent) as are prepared by the Purchase Contract Agent with
respect to the Pledged Trust Preferred Securities.
ARTICLE VI. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES; DISTRIBUTION OF THE NOTES; TAX EVENT
REDEMPTION
SECTION 6.1. Rights and Remedies of the Collateral Agent. (a) In
--------------------------------------------------------
addition to the rights and remedies available at law or in equity, after an
event of default hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights
and remedies with respect to the Collateral of a secured party under the Uniform
Commercial Code (or any successor thereto) as in effect in the State of New York
from time to time (the "Code") (whether or not the Code is in effect in the
----
jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted) and the TRADES
Regulations and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is
entitled under the laws in effect in any
18
jurisdiction where any rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted. Wherever
reference is made in this Agreement to any section of the Code, such reference
shall be deemed to include a reference to any provision of the Code which is a
successor to, or amendment of, such section. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, such remedies may include, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, (i) retention of the Pledged Trust Preferred Securities or other Collateral
in full satisfaction of the Holders' obligations under the Purchase Contracts or
(ii) sale of the Pledged Trust Preferred Securities or other Collateral in one
or more public or private sales at the written direction of the Company.
(b) Without limiting any rights or powers otherwise granted by this
Agreement to the Collateral Agent, in the event the Collateral Agent is unable
to make payments to the Company on account of any Pledged Treasury Consideration
or Pledged Treasury Securities as provided in Article III hereof in satisfaction
of the obligations of the Holder of the Securities of which such Pledged
Treasury Consideration or Pledged Treasury Securities, as applicable, is a part
under the related Purchase Contracts, the inability to make such payments shall
constitute an event of default hereunder and the Collateral Agent shall have and
may exercise, with reference to such Pledged Treasury Securities or such Pledged
Treasury Consideration, as applicable, and such obligations of such Holder, any
and all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the Code
and the TRADES Regulations after default by a debtor, and as otherwise granted
herein or under any other law.
(c) Without limiting any rights or powers otherwise granted by this
Agreement to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably
authorized to receive and collect all payments of (i) the Stated Amount of or,
cash distributions on, the Pledged Trust Preferred Securities, or (ii) the
principal amount of the Pledged Treasury Consideration or Pledged Treasury
Securities, subject, in each case, to the provisions of Article III, and as
otherwise granted herein.
(d) The Purchase Contract Agent, individually and as
attorney-in-fact for each Holder of Securities, agrees that, from time to time,
upon the written request of the Company or the Collateral Agent (acting upon the
written request of the Company), the Purchase Contract Agent or such Holder
shall execute and deliver such further documents and do such other acts and
things as the Company or the Collateral Agent (acting upon the written request
of the Company) may reasonably request in order to maintain the Pledge, and the
perfection and priority thereof, and to confirm the rights of the Collateral
Agent hereunder. The Purchase Contract Agent shall have no liability to any
Holder for executing any documents or taking any such acts requested by the
Company or the Collateral Agent (acting upon the written request of the Company)
hereunder, except for liability for its own negligent act, its own negligent
failure to act, its bad faith or its own willful misconduct.
SECTION 6.2. Distribution of the Notes. Upon the occurrence of a
--------------------------------------
voluntary or involuntary dissolution of the Trust and satisfaction of the
liabilities to creditors of the Trust, if any, a principal amount of the Notes
constituting the assets of the Trust and underlying the Trust Preferred
Securities equal to the aggregate Stated Amount of the Pledged Trust Preferred
Securities shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent in exchange for the
Pledged Trust Preferred Securities. In the event the Collateral Agent receives
such Notes in respect of Pledged Trust Preferred Securities upon the occurrence
of a voluntary or involuntary dissolution of the Trust,
19
the Collateral Agent shall Transfer such Notes to the Collateral Account in the
manner specified herein (including, without limitation, physical delivery
thereof as set forth in Section 2.1) for Pledged Trust Preferred Securities to
secure the obligations of the Holders of Normal Units to purchase the Company's
Common Stock under the related Purchase Contracts. Thereafter, the Collateral
Agent shall have such security interests, rights and obligations with respect to
such Notes as it had in respect of the Pledged Trust Preferred Securities as
provided in Articles II, III, IV, V and VI hereof, and any reference herein to
the Trust Preferred Securities or Pledged Trust Preferred Securities shall be
deemed to be referring to such Notes.
SECTION 6.3. Substitutions. Whenever a Holder has the right to
--------------------------
substitute Treasury Securities, Trust Preferred Securities or Treasury
Consideration, as the case may be, for Collateral held by the Collateral Agent,
such substitution shall not constitute a novation of the security interest
created hereby.
SECTION 6.4. Tax Redemption. Upon the occurrence of a Tax Event
---------------------------
Redemption prior to the Stock Purchase Date, the Redemption Price payable on the
Tax Event Redemption Date with respect to the Applicable Principal Amount shall
be credited to the Collateral Account by the Property Trustee or, if the Trust
shall have been dissolved, by the Indenture Trustee on or prior to 12:30 p.m.,
New York
City time, by federal funds check or wire transfer of immediately available
funds. The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to present the Pledged Treasury
Securities or the Pledged Trust Preferred Securities for payment as may be
required by their respective terms. Upon receipt of such funds, the Pledged
Treasury Securities or Pledged Trust Preferred Securities, as the case may be,
shall be released from the Collateral Account. In the event such funds are
credited to the Collateral Account, the Collateral Agent, at the written
direction of the Company, shall instruct the Securities Intermediary to (a)
apply an amount equal to the Redemption Amount of such Redemption Price to
purchase the Treasury Portfolio from the Quotation Agent for credit to the
Collateral Account and (b) promptly remit the remaining portion of such
Redemption Price to the Purchase Contract Agent for payment to the Holders of
Normal Units, free and clear of any lien, pledge or security interest created
thereby.
ARTICLE VII. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; COVENANTS
SECTION 7.1. Representations and Warranties. The Holders from time to time,
acting through the Purchase Contract Agent as their attorney-in-fact (it being
understood that the Purchase Contract Agent shall not be liable for any
representation or warranty made by or on behalf of a Holder), hereby represent
and warrant to the Collateral Agent, which representations and warranties shall
be deemed repeated on each day a Holder Transfers Collateral that:
(a) such Holder has the power to grant a security interest in and
lien on the Collateral;
(b) such Holder is the sole beneficial owner of the Collateral and,
in the case of Collateral delivered in physical form, is the sole holder of
such Collateral and is the sole beneficial owner of, or has the right to
Transfer, the Collateral it Transfers to the Collateral Agent, free and
clear of any security interest, lien, encumbrance, call, liability
20
to pay money or other restriction other than the security interest and lien
granted under Section 2.1 hereof;
(c) upon the Transfer of the Collateral to the Collateral Account,
the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Company, will have a valid and
perfected first priority security interest therein (assuming that any
central clearing operation or any Intermediary or other entity not within
the control of the Holder involved in the Transfer of the Collateral,
including the Collateral Agent, gives the notices and takes the action
required of it hereunder and under applicable law for perfection of that
interest and assuming the establishment and exercise of control pursuant to
Section 2.2 hereof); and
(d) the execution and performance by the Holder of its obligations
under this Agreement will not result in the creation of any security
interest, lien or other encumbrance on the Collateral other than the
security interest and lien granted under Section 2.1 hereof or violate any
provision of any existing law or regulation applicable to it or of any
mortgage, charge, pledge, indenture, contract or undertaking to which it is
a party or which is binding on it or any of its assets.
SECTION 7.2. Covenants. The Holders from time to time, acting
----------------------
through the Purchase Contract Agent as their attorney-in-fact (it being
understood that the Purchase Contract Agent shall not be liable for any covenant
made by or on behalf of a Holder), hereby covenant to the Collateral Agent that
for so long as the Collateral remains subject to the Pledge:
(a) neither the Purchase Contract Agent nor such Holders will create
or purport to create or allow to subsist any mortgage, charge, lien, pledge
or any other security interest whatsoever over the Collateral or any part
of it other than pursuant to this Agreement; and
(b) neither the Purchase Contract Agent nor such Holders will sell
or otherwise dispose (or attempt to dispose) of the Collateral or any part
of it except for the beneficial interest therein, subject to the pledge
hereunder, transferred in connection with the Transfer of the Securities.

specifically vested in the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement,
together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each of
the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary: (a)
shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in
this Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations shall be inferred from
this Agreement against any of them, nor shall any of them be bound by the
provisions of any agreement by any party hereto beyond the specific terms
hereof; (b) shall not be responsible for any recitals contained in this
Agreement, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for
in, or received by it under, this Agreement, the Securities or the Purchase
Contract
21
Agreement, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness,
enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement (other than as against the
Collateral Agent), the Securities or the Purchase Contract Agreement or any
other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure
by the Company or any other Person (except the Collateral Agent, the Custodial
Agent or the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be) to perform any of its
obligations hereunder or thereunder or for the perfection, priority or, except
as expressly required hereby, existence, validity, perfection or maintenance of
any security interest created hereunder; (c) shall not be required to initiate
or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder (except in the
case of the Collateral Agent, pursuant to directions furnished under Section 8.2
hereof, subject to Section 8.6 hereof); (d) shall not be responsible for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other document
or instrument referred to or provided for herein or in connection herewith or
therewith, except for its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct;
and (e) shall not be required to advise any party as to selling or retaining, or
taking or refraining from taking any action with respect to, the Securities or
other property deposited hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, during the term of
this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall take all reasonable action in
connection with the safekeeping and preservation of the Collateral hereunder.
No provision of this Agreement shall require the Collateral Agent,
the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary to expend or risk its own
funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of
its duties hereunder. In no event shall the Collateral Agent, the Custodial
Agent or the Securities Intermediary be liable for any amount in excess of the
value of the Collateral or for indirect, special, punitive or consequential loss
or damage of any kind whatsoever, including lost profits, arising in connection
with this Agreement, whether or not the likelihood of such loss or damage was
known to the Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent, or the Securities Intermediary.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent, the
Purchase Contract Agent and Securities Intermediary, each in its individual
capacity, hereby waive any right of setoff, bankers lien, liens or perfection
rights as securities intermediary or any counterclaim with respect to any of the
Collateral.
The Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent and Securities Intermediary
shall have no liability whatsoever for the action or inaction of the Book-Entry
System or any Clearing Corporation. In no event shall the Book-Entry System or
any Clearing Corporation be deemed an agent or subcustodian of the Collateral
Agent, Custodial Agent and Securities Intermediary. The Collateral Agent,
Custodial Agent and Securities Intermediary shall not be responsible or liable
for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this
Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances
beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God;

epidemics; riots; interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer
(hardware or software) or communications service; accidents; labor disputes;
acts of civil or military authority; governmental actions; inability or obtain

SECTION 8.2. Instructions of the Company. The Company shall have the
----------------------------------------
right, by one or more instruments in writing executed and delivered to the
Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, as the
case may be, to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding
for the realization of any right or remedy available to the Collateral Agent, or
of exercising any power conferred on the Collateral Agent, the Custodial
22
Agent or the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, or to direct the
taking or refraining from taking of any action authorized by this Agreement;
provided, however, that (i) such direction shall not conflict with the
--------
provisions of any law or of this Agreement and (ii) the Collateral Agent, the
Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall receive indemnity
satisfactory to it as provided herein. Nothing in this Section 8.2 shall impair
the right of the Collateral Agent in its discretion to take any action or omit
to take any action which it deems proper and which is not inconsistent with such
direction.
SECTION 8.3. Reliance by Collateral Agent. Each of the Securities
-----------------------------------------
Intermediary, the Custodial Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled
conclusively to rely upon any certification, order, judgment, opinion, notice or
other communication (including, without limitation, any thereof by telephone,
facsimile, e-mail or similar electronic means) reasonably believed by it to be
genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the
proper Person or Persons (without being required to determine the correctness of
any fact stated therein), and upon opinions, advice and statements of legal
counsel and other experts selected by the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent
or the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be. As to any matters not
expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Collateral Agent, the Custodial
Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall in all cases be fully protected in
acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder in accordance with instructions
given by the Company in accordance with this Agreement.
SECTION 8.4. Rights in Other Capacities. The Collateral Agent, the
---------------------------------------
Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary and their affiliates may
(without having to account therefor to the Company) accept deposits from, lend
money to, make their investments in and generally engage in any kind of banking,
trust or other business with the Purchase Contract Agent, any Holder of
Securities and any holder of Separate Trust Preferred Securities (and any of
their respective subsidiaries or affiliates) as if it were not acting as the
Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, as the
case may be, and the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities
Intermediary and their affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from
the Purchase Contract Agent, any Holder of Securities or any holder of Separate
Trust Preferred Securities without having to account for the same to the
Company; provided that each of the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent
and the Collateral Agent covenants and agrees with the Company that it shall not
accept, receive or permit there to be created in favor of itself (and waives any
right of set-off or banker's lien with respect to) and shall take no affirmative
action to permit there to be created in favor of any other Person, any security
interest, lien or other encumbrance of any kind in or upon the Collateral and
the Collateral shall not be commingled with any other assets of any such Person.
SECTION 8.5. Non-Reliance on Collateral Agent. None of the
---------------------------------------------
Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be
required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the
Purchase Contract Agent or any Holder of Securities of this Agreement, the
Purchase Contract Agreement, the Securities or any other document referred to or
provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of the
Purchase Contract Agent or any Holder of Securities. The Collateral Agent, the
Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall not have any duty or
responsibility to provide the Company or the Remarketing Agent with any credit
or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of
the Purchase Contract Agent, any Holder of Securities or any holder of
23
Separate Trust Preferred Securities (or any of their respective subsidiaries or
affiliates) that may come into the possession of the Collateral Agent, the
Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary or any of their respective
affiliates.
SECTION 8.6. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company agrees: (i) to
---------------------------------------
pay each of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities
Intermediary from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed in writing
between the Company and the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the
Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, for all services rendered by each
of them hereunder and (ii) to indemnify the Collateral Agent, the Custodial
Agent and the Securities Intermediary for, and to hold each of them harmless
from and against, any loss, liability or reasonable expense incurred without
gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its part, arising out of or
in connection with the acceptance or administration of its powers and duties
under this Agreement, including the reasonable costs and expenses (including
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) of defending itself against any claim
or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of such powers and
duties or collecting such amounts. The Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and
the Securities Intermediary shall each promptly notify the Company of any third
party claim which may give rise to the indemnity hereunder and give the Company
the opportunity to participate in the defense of such claim with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and no such claim shall be
settled without the written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
SECTION 8.7. Failure to Act. In the event of any ambiguity in the
---------------------------
provisions of this Agreement or any dispute between or conflicting claims by or
among the parties hereto or any other Person with respect to any funds or
property deposited hereunder, the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the
Securities Intermediary shall be entitled, after prompt notice to the Company
and the Purchase Contract Agent, at its sole option, to refuse to comply with
any and all claims, demands or instructions with respect to such property or
funds so long as such dispute or conflict shall continue, and neither the
Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent nor the Securities Intermediary shall be
or become liable in any way to any of the parties hereto for its failure or
refusal to comply with such conflicting claims, demands or instructions. The
Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall be
entitled to refuse to act until either (i) such conflicting or adverse claims or
demands shall have been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
or settled by agreement between the conflicting parties as evidenced in a
writing, satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the
Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, or (ii) the Collateral Agent, the
Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, shall have
received security or an indemnity satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, the
Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, sufficient
to save the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities
Intermediary, as the case may be, harmless from and against any and all loss,
liability or reasonable expense which the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent
or the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, may incur by reason of its
acting without bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Collateral
Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary may in addition elect
to commence an interpleader action or seek other judicial relief or orders as
the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, as the
case may be, may deem necessary. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to
the contrary, neither the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent nor the
Securities Intermediary shall be
24
required to take any action that is in its opinion contrary to law or to the
terms of this Agreement, or which would in its opinion subject it or any of its
officers, employees or directors to liability.
SECTION 8.8. Resignation of Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or
----------------------------------------------------------------
Securities Intermediary. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a
-----------------------
successor Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary as
provided below, (a) the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities
Intermediary may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Company and
the Purchase Contract Agent as attorney-in-fact for the Holders of Securities,
(b) the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary
may be removed at any time by the Company and (c) if the Collateral Agent, the
Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary fails to perform any of its
material obligations hereunder in any material respect for a period of not less
than 20 days after receiving written notice of such failure by the Purchase
Contract Agent and such failure shall be continuing, the Collateral Agent, the
Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary may be removed by the Purchase
Contract Agent. The Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly notify the Company of
any removal of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities
Intermediary pursuant to clause (c) of the immediately preceding sentence. Upon
any such resignation or removal, the Company shall have the right to appoint a
successor Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary, as the
case may be. If no successor Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities
Intermediary, as the case may be, shall have been so appointed and shall have
accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Collateral Agent's,
Custodial Agent's or Securities Intermediary's giving of notice of resignation
or such removal, then the retiring Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or
Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, may at the Company's expense
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary, as the case may
be. Each of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities
Intermediary shall be a bank which has an office in New York, New York with a
combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary, as
the case may be, hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or
Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, such successor shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the retiring Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary, as
the case may be, and the retiring Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or
Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, shall take all appropriate action
to transfer any money and property held by it hereunder (including the
Collateral) to such successor. The retiring Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or
Securities Intermediary shall, upon such succession, be discharged from its
duties and obligations as Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities
Intermediary hereunder. After any retiring Collateral Agent's, Custodial Agent's
or Securities Intermediary's resignation hereunder as Collateral Agent,
Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary, the provisions of this Section 8.8
shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Collateral Agent, Custodial
Agent or Securities Intermediary. Any resignation or removal of the Collateral
Agent hereunder shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement as the
simultaneous resignation or removal of the Custodial Agent and the Securities
Intermediary.
SECTION 8.9. Right to Appoint Agent or Advisor. The Collateral Agent
----------------------------------------------
shall have the right to appoint agents or advisors in connection with any of its
duties hereunder, and the Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action
taken or omitted by, or in reliance upon the
25
opinion or advice of, such agents or advisors selected in good faith. The
appointment of agents (other than legal counsel) pursuant to this Section 8.9
shall be subject to prior consent of the Company, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
SECTION 8.10. Survival. The provisions of this Article VIII shall
----------------------
survive termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the
Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary.
SECTION 8.11. Exculpation. Anything in this Agreement to the
-------------------------
contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall any of the Collateral Agent, the
Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary or their officers, employees or
agents be liable under this Agreement to any third party for indirect, special,
punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, including lost
profits, whether or not the likelihood of such loss or damage was known to the
Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, or any of
them, incurred without any act or deed that is found to be attributable to gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent,
the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, incurred without any act or
deed that is found to be attributable to gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the
Securities Intermediary.

this Agreement, in form satisfactory to the Company, the Collateral Agent, the
Custodial Agent, the Securities Intermediary and the Purchase Contract Agent,
for any of the following purposes:

hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent, Securities
Intermediary or Purchase Contract Agent; or

duly authorized, the Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent, the
Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary may amend this Agreement for the
purpose of modifying in any manner the provisions of this Agreement or the
rights of the Holders in respect of the Securities; provided, however, that no
---------
such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of the Holder of each
Outstanding Security adversely affected thereby,
(1) change the amount or type of Collateral underlying a Security
(except for the rights of holders of Normal Units to substitute the
Treasury Securities for the Pledged Trust Preferred Securities or the
Pledged Treasury Consideration, as the case may be, or the rights of
Holders of Stripped Units to substitute Trust Preferred Securities or the
appropriate Treasury Consideration, as applicable, for the Pledged Treasury
Securities), impair the right of the Holder of any Security to receive
distributions on the underlying Collateral or otherwise adversely affect
the Holder's rights in or to such Collateral; or
(2) otherwise effect any action that would require the consent of the
Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby pursuant to the
Purchase Contract Agreement if such action were effected by an agreement
supplemental thereto; or
(3) reduce the percentage of Purchase Contracts the consent of whose
Holders is required for any such amendment.
It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section
to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be
sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.
SECTION 9.3. Execution of Amendments. In executing any amendment
------------------------------------
permitted by this Section, the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent, the
Securities Intermediary and the Purchase Contract Agent shall receive and

Section 7.1 of the Purchase Contract Agreement, with respect to the Purchase
Contract Agent) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel
and Officers' Certificate stating that the execution of such amendment is
authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that all conditions precedent, if
any, to the execution and delivery of such amendment have been satisfied and, in
the case of an amendment pursuant to Section 9.1, that such amendment does not
adversely affect the validity, perfection or priority of the security interests
granted or created hereunder.

under this Article IX, this Agreement shall be modified in accordance therewith,
and such amendment shall form a part of this Agreement for all purposes; and
every Holder of Certificates theretofore or thereafter authenticated, executed
on behalf of the Holders and delivered under the Purchase Contract Agreement
shall be bound thereby.
27

---------------------------------------
executed on behalf of the Holders and delivered after the execution of any
amendment pursuant to this Section may, and shall if required by the Collateral
Agent or the Purchase Contract Agent, bear a notation in form approved by the
Purchase Contract Agent and the Collateral Agent as to any matter provided for
in such amendment. If the Company shall so determine, new Certificates so

Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Purchase Contract Agent and the Company,
to any such amendment may be prepared and executed by the Company and
authenticated, executed on behalf of the Holders and delivered by the Purchase
Contract Agent in accordance with the Purchase Contract Agreement in exchange

-----------------------
any of its agents to exercise, and no course of dealing with respect to, and no
delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a
