In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Agreement provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Purchase Contract Agent, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates.

No Purchase Contract evidenced by a Certificate shall be valid until such Certificate has been executed on behalf of the Holder by the manual signature of an authorized officer of the Purchase Contract Agent, as such Holder’s attorney-in-fact. Such signature by an authorized officer of the Purchase Contract Agent shall be conclusive evidence that the Holder of such Certificate has entered into the Purchase Contracts evidenced by such Certificate.

Each Certificate shall be dated the date of its authentication.

No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by an authorized officer of the Purchase Contract Agent by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 3.04. Temporary Certificates. Pending the preparation of definitive Certificates, the Company may execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holders, and deliver, in lieu of such definitive Certificates, temporary Certificates which are in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A or Exhibit B hereto, as the case may be, with such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements printed, lithographed or engraved thereon as may be required by the rules of any securities exchange on which the Corporate Units or Treasury Units, as the case may be, are listed, or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers of the Company executing such Certificates, as evidenced by their execution of the Certificates.

If temporary Certificates are issued, the Company will cause definitive Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable for definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary Certificates at the Corporate Trust Office, at the expense of the Company and without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder, and deliver in exchange therefor, one or more definitive Certificates of like tenor and denominations and evidencing a like number of Units as the temporary Certificate or Certificates so surrendered. Until so exchanged, the temporary Certificates shall in all respects evidence the same benefits and the

same obligations with respect to the Units evidenced thereby as definitive Certificates.

Section 3.05. Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Purchase Contract Agent shall keep at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Purchase Contract Agent shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers of Certificates (the Purchase Contract Agent, in such capacity, the “Security Registrar”). The Security Registrar shall record separately the registration and transfer of the Certificates evidencing Corporate Units and Treasury Units.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the designated transferee or transferees, and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of any authorized denominations, like tenor, and evidencing a like number of Corporate Units or Treasury Units, as the case may be.

At the option of the Holder, Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates, of any authorized denominations and evidencing a like number of Corporate Units or Treasury Units, as the case may be, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder, and deliver the Certificates which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

All Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of a Certificate shall evidence the ownership of the same number of Corporate Units or Treasury Units, as the case may be, and be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same obligations under this Agreement as the Corporate Units or Treasury Units, as the case may be, evidenced by the Certificate surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Purchase Contract Agent) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of a Certificate, but the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent may require payment from the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other

governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, other than any exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, Section 3.06 and Section 8.05 not involving any transfer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall not be obligated to authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder and deliver any Certificate in exchange for any other Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange on or after the Business Day immediately preceding the earliest to occur of any Early Settlement Date with respect to such Certificate, any Cash Merger Early Settlement Date with respect to such Certificate, the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or the Termination Date. In lieu of delivery of a new Certificate, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions specified above in this Section and receipt of appropriate registration or transfer instructions from such Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent shall:

	(a) if the Purchase Contract Settlement Date (including upon any Cash Settlement) or an Early Settlement Date or a Cash Merger Early Settlement Date with respect to such other Certificate (or portion thereof) has occurred, deliver the shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of the Purchase Contracts forming a part of the Units evidenced by such other Certificate (or portion thereof); or

	(b) if a Termination Event, Early Settlement, or Cash Merger Early Settlement shall have occurred prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, or a Cash Settlement shall have occurred, transfer the Convertible Notes or the Treasury Securities, as the case may be, underlying such Certificate, in each case subject to the applicable conditions and in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 3.15 and Article 5 hereof.

Section 3.06. Book-entry Interests. The Certificates will be issued in the form of one or more fully registered Global Certificates, to be delivered to the Depositary or its custodian by, or on behalf of, the Company. The Company hereby designates DTC as the initial Depositary. Such Global Certificates shall initially be registered on the Security Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the Depositary, and no Beneficial Owner will receive a definitive Certificate representing such Beneficial Owner’s interest in such Global Certificate, except as provided in Section 3.09. The Purchase Contract Agent shall enter into an agreement with the Depositary if so requested by the Company. Following the issuance of such Global Certificates and unless and until definitive, and fully registered Certificates have been issued to Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section 3.09:

	(a) the provisions of this Section 3.06 shall be in full force and effect;

	(b) the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary for all purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, making Contract Adjustment Payments and receiving approvals, votes or consents hereunder) as the Holder of the Units and the sole holder of the Global Certificates and shall have no obligation to the Beneficial Owners; provided that a Beneficial Owner may directly enforce against the Company, without any consent, proxy, waiver or involvement of the Depositary of any kind, such Beneficial Owner’s right to receive a definitive Certificate representing the Units beneficially owned by such Beneficial Owner, as set forth in Section 3.09;

	(c) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.06 conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 3.06 shall control; and

	(d) except as set forth in the proviso of clause (ii) of this Section 3.06, the rights of the Beneficial Owners shall be exercised only through the Depositary and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Beneficial Owners and the Depositary or the Depositary Participants. The Depositary will make book-entry transfers among Depositary Participants and receive and transmit payments of Contract Adjustment Payments to such Depositary Participants.

Transfers of securities evidenced by Global Certificates shall be made through the facilities of the Depositary, and any cancellation of, or increase or decrease in the number of, such securities (including the creation of Treasury Units and the recreation of Corporate Units pursuant to Section 3.13 and Section 3.14, respectively) shall be accomplished by making appropriate annotations on the Schedule of Increases and Decreases set forth in such Global Certificate.

Section 3.07. Notices to Holders. Whenever a notice or other communication to the Holders is required to be given under this Agreement, the Company or the Company’s agent shall give such notices and communications to the Holders and, with respect to any Units registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary, the Company or the Company’s agent shall, except as set forth herein, have no obligations to the Beneficial Owners.

Section 3.08. Appointment of Successor Depositary. If the Depositary elects to discontinue its services as securities depositary with respect to the Units, the Company may, in its sole discretion, appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the Units.

Section 3.09. Definitive Certificates.

If:

	(a) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue its services as securities depositary with respect to the Units and no successor Depositary has been appointed pursuant to Section 3.08 within 90 days after such notice;

	(b) the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under Section 17A of the Exchange Act when the Depositary is required to be so registered to act as the Depositary and so notifies the Company, and no successor Depositary has been appointed pursuant to Section 3.08 within 90 days after such notice;

	(c) to the extent permitted by the Depositary, the Company determines in its discretion that the Global Certificates shall be exchangeable for definitive Certificates; or

	(d) a Beneficial Owner seeking to exercise or enforce its rights under the Corporate Units or Treasury Units requests to exchange such Beneficial Owner’s interest in the Global Certificates for definitive Certificates;

then (x) definitive Certificates shall be prepared by the Company with respect to such Units and delivered to the Purchase Contract Agent and (y) upon surrender of the Global Certificates representing the Units by the Depositary, accompanied by registration instructions (other than in the case of clause (iv) above), the Company shall cause definitive Certificates to be delivered to Beneficial Owners in accordance with instructions provided by the Depositary. The Company and the Purchase Contract Agent shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on and shall be authorized and protected in relying on, such instructions. Each definitive Certificate so delivered shall evidence Units of the same kind and tenor as the Global Certificate so surrendered in respect thereof.

Section 3.10. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Certificates. If any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Purchase Contract Agent, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder, and deliver in exchange therefor, a new Certificate, evidencing the same number of Corporate Units or Treasury Units, as the case may be, and bearing a Certificate number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them and any agent of any of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent that such Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder, and deliver to the Holder, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate, evidencing the same number of Corporate Units or Treasury Units, as the case may be, and bearing a Certificate number not contemporaneously outstanding.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall not be obligated to authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder, and deliver to the Holder, a Certificate on or after the Business Day immediately preceding the earliest of any Early Settlement Date with respect to such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Certificate, any Cash Merger Early Settlement Date with respect to such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Certificate, the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or the Termination Date. In lieu of delivery of a new Certificate, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions specified above in this Section and receipt of appropriate registration or transfer instructions from such Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent shall:

	(a) if the Purchase Contract Settlement Date (including upon any Cash Settlement) or an Early Settlement Date or a Cash Merger Early Settlement Date with respect to such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Certificate has occurred, deliver the shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of the Purchase Contracts forming a part of the Units evidenced by such Certificate; and

	(a) if a Termination Event, Cash Merger Early Settlement or an Early Settlement with respect to such lost or mutilated Certificate shall have occurred prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or a Cash Settlement shall have occurred, transfer the Convertible Notes or the Treasury Securities, as the case may be, underlying such Certificate, in each case subject to the applicable conditions and in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 3.15 and Article 5 hereof.

Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent may require the payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other fees and expenses (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Purchase Contract Agent) connected therewith.

Every new Certificate issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company and of the Holder in respect of the Units evidenced thereby, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate (and the Units evidenced thereby) shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits and be subject to all the obligations of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Certificates delivered hereunder.

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude, to the extent lawful, all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificates.

Section 3.11. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Certificate for registration of transfer, the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent, and any agent of the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent, may treat the Person in whose name such Certificate is registered as the owner of the Units evidenced thereby for purposes of (subject to any applicable record date) any payment or distribution with respect to the Convertible Notes, as applicable, payment of Contract Adjustment Payments and performance of the Purchase Contracts and for all other purposes whatsoever in connection with such Units, whether or not such payment, distribution, or performance shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, and neither the Company nor the Purchase Contract Agent, nor any agent of the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent, shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Certificate, nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company, the Purchase Contract Agent or any agent of the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary (or its nominee), as a Holder, with respect to such Global Certificate, or impair, as between such Depositary and the related Beneficial Owner, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of rights of the Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such Global Certificate. None of the Company, the Purchase Contract Agent or any agent of the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Certificate or maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

Section 3.12. Cancellation. All Certificates surrendered for delivery of shares of Common Stock on or after the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or in connection with an Early Settlement or a Cash Merger Early Settlement or for delivery of the Convertible Notes or Treasury Securities, as the case may be, after the occurrence of a Termination Event or pursuant to a Cash Settlement, an Early

Settlement or a Cash Merger Early Settlement, a Collateral Substitution, or upon the registration of transfer or exchange of a Unit, shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Purchase Contract Agent, be delivered to the Purchase Contract Agent along with appropriate written instructions regarding the cancellation thereof and, if not already cancelled, shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent for cancellation any Certificates previously authenticated, executed and delivered hereunder that the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Certificates so delivered shall, upon an Issuer Order, be promptly cancelled by the Purchase Contract Agent. No Certificates shall be authenticated, executed on behalf of the Holder and delivered in lieu of or in exchange for any Certificates cancelled as provided in this Section 3.12, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement. All cancelled Certificates held by the Purchase Contract Agent shall be disposed of in accordance with its customary practices.

If the Company or any Affiliate of the Company shall acquire any Certificate, such acquisition shall not operate as a cancellation of such Certificate unless and until such Certificate is delivered to the Purchase Contract Agent cancelled or for cancellation.

Section 3.13. Creation of Treasury Units by Substitution of Treasury Securities. (a) Subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, a Holder of Corporate Units may, at any time from and after the date of this Agreement and prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day immediately preceding the first Remarketing Date, effect a Collateral Substitution and separate the Convertible Notes in respect of such Holder’s Corporate Units by substituting for such Convertible Notes, Treasury Securities in an aggregate principal amount at maturity equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes. To effect such substitution, the Holder must:

	(1) Transfer to the Securities Intermediary, for credit to the Collateral Account, Treasury Securities or security entitlements with respect thereto having a Value (as determined by the Purchase Contract Agent) equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Pledged Convertible Notes for which such Collateral Substitution is made; and

Upon confirmation that the Treasury Securities described in clause (1) above or security entitlements with respect thereto have been credited to the Collateral Account and receipt of the instruction to the Collateral Agent described

in clause (2) above, the Collateral Agent shall release such Pledged Convertible Notes from the Pledge and instruct the Securities Intermediary by a notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto, to Transfer the Pledged Convertible Notes to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to such Holder, free and clear of the Pledge created hereby. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Agent shall take no action to release such Pledged Convertible Notes from the Pledge unless and until the direction is provided by the Purchase Contract Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto.

Upon credit to the Collateral Account of Treasury Securities or security entitlements with respect thereto delivered by a Holder of Corporate Units and receipt of the related instruction from the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary shall promptly Transfer the Pledged Convertible Notes to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to such Holder, free and clear of the Pledge created hereby.

Upon receipt of the Pledged Convertible Notes, the Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly:

	(i) cancel the related Corporate Units;

	(ii) Transfer such Convertible Notes to the Holder (such Convertible Notes shall be tradeable as a separate security, independent of the concurrently created Treasury Units) in book-entry form, to the extent a Global Convertible Note (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture) is registered in the name of the Depositary; and

	(iii) deliver Treasury Units in book-entry form, or if applicable, authenticate, execute on behalf of such Holder and deliver Treasury Units in the form of a Treasury Units Certificate executed by the Company in accordance with Section 3.03 evidencing the same number of Purchase Contracts as were evidenced by the cancelled Corporate Units.

Holders who elect to separate the Convertible Notes by substituting Treasury Securities for Convertible Notes shall be responsible for any fees or expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses payable to the Collateral Agent), in respect of the substitution, and neither the Company nor the Purchase Contract Agent shall be responsible for any such fees or expenses.

(b) In the event a Holder making a Collateral Substitution pursuant to this Section 3.13 fails to effect a book-entry transfer of the Corporate Units or fails to deliver Corporate Units Certificates to the Purchase Contract Agent after depositing Treasury Securities with the Securities Intermediary, any distributions on the Convertible Notes constituting a part of such Corporate Units, shall be held

in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent or its nominee in trust for the benefit of such Holder, until such Corporate Units are so transferred or the Corporate Units Certificate is so delivered, as the case may be, or such Holder provides evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent that such Corporate Units Certificate has been destroyed, lost or stolen, together with any indemnity that may be required by the Purchase Contract Agent and the Company.

(c) Except as described in Section 5.02 or in this Section 3.13 or in connection with a Cash Settlement, an Early Settlement, a Cash Merger Early Settlement or a Termination Event, for so long as the Purchase Contract underlying a Corporate Unit remains in effect, such Corporate Units shall not be separable into its constituent parts, and the rights and obligations of the Holder in respect of the Convertible Notes and the Purchase Contract comprising such Corporate Units may be acquired, and may be transferred and exchanged, only as a Corporate Unit.

Section 3.14. Recreation of Corporate Units. (a) Subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, a Holder of Treasury Units may effect a Collateral Substitution and recreate Corporate Units at any time from and after the date of this Agreement and prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day immediately preceding the first Remarketing Date. To recreate Corporate Units, the Holder must:

	(1) Transfer to the Securities Intermediary, for credit to the Collateral Account, Convertible Notes or security entitlements with respect thereto having an aggregate principal amount equal to the Value (as determined by the Purchase Contract Agent) of the Pledged Treasury Securities to be released; and

	(2) Transfer the related Treasury Units to the Purchase Contract Agent accompanied by a notice to the Purchase Contract Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, whereupon the Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly provide a direction and instruction to the Collateral Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto.

Upon confirmation that the Convertible Notes described in clause (1) above or security entitlements with respect thereto has been credited to the Collateral Account and receipt of the instruction from the Purchase Contract Agent described in clause (2) above, the Collateral Agent shall release such Pledged Treasury Securities from the Pledge and shall instruct the Securities Intermediary by a notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto, to Transfer such Pledged Treasury Securities to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to such Holder, free and clear of the Pledge created hereby.

Upon credit to the Collateral Account of Convertible Notes or security entitlements with respect thereto delivered by a Holder of Treasury Units and receipt of the related instruction from the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary shall promptly Transfer the Pledged Treasury Securities to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to such Holder, free and clear of the Pledge created hereby. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Securities Intermediary and the Collateral Agent shall take no action to release such Pledged Convertible Notes from the Pledge unless and until the direction is provided by the Purchase Contract Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto.

Upon receipt of such Treasury Securities, the Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly:

	(i) cancel the related Treasury Units;

	(ii) Transfer the Treasury Securities to the Holder; and

	(iii) deliver Corporate Units in book-entry form or, if applicable, authenticate, execute on behalf of such Holder and deliver Corporate Units in the form of a Corporate Units Certificate executed by the Company in accordance with Section 3.03 evidencing the same number of Purchase Contracts as were evidenced by the cancelled Treasury Units.

Holders who elect to recreate Corporate Units shall be responsible for any fees or expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses payable to the Collateral Agent), in respect of the recreation, and neither the Company nor the Purchase Contract Agent shall be responsible for any such fees or expenses.

(b) Except as provided in Section 5.02 or in this Section 3.14 or in connection with a Cash Settlement, an Early Settlement, a Cash Merger Early Settlement or a Termination Event, for so long as the Purchase Contract underlying a Treasury Unit remains in effect, such Treasury Unit shall not be separable into its constituent parts and the rights and obligations of the Holder of such Treasury Unit in respect of the interest in the Treasury Security and the Purchase Contract comprising such Treasury Unit may be acquired, and may be transferred and exchanged, only as a Treasury Unit.

Section 3.15. Transfer of Collateral Upon Occurrence of Termination Event. (a) Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Purchase Contract Agent shall notify the Collateral Agent of the occurrence thereof and request the release of the Collateral from the Pledge. Upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of such written notice or written notice pursuant to Section 5.06 hereof from the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent that a Termination Event has occurred,

the Collateral Agent shall release all Collateral from the Pledge and shall promptly instruct the Securities Intermediary to Transfer:

	(i) any Pledged Convertible Notes or security entitlements with respect thereto;

	(ii) any Pledged Treasury Securities;

	(iii) any payments by Holders (or the Permitted Investments of such payments) pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof; and

	(iv) any Proceeds and all other payments the Collateral Agent receives in respect of the foregoing,

to the Purchase Contract Agent for the benefit of the Holders for distribution to such Holders, in accordance with their respective interests, free and clear of the Pledge created hereby.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (a) of this Section 3.15, 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 Convertible Notes, Pledged Treasury Securities and payments by Holders (or the Permitted Investments of such payments) pursuant to Section 5.02 and Proceeds and all other payments received by the Collateral Agent in respect of the foregoing, as the case may be, as provided by this Section 3.15, the Purchase Contract Agent shall use its best efforts to obtain an opinion of a nationally recognized law firm to the effect that, notwithstanding 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 3.15, and shall deliver or cause to be delivered such opinion to the Collateral Agent within ten days after the occurrence of such Termination Event, and if (A) the Purchase Contract Agent shall be unable to obtain such opinion within ten days after the occurrence of such Termination Event or (B) the Collateral Agent shall continue, after delivery of such opinion, to refuse to effectuate the release and Transfer of all Pledged Convertible Notes, Pledged Treasury Securities and the payments by Holders (or the Permitted Investments of such payments) pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof and Proceeds and all other payments received by the Collateral Agent in respect of the foregoing, as the case may be, as provided in this Section 3.15, then the Purchase Contract Agent shall within fifteen days after the occurrence of such Termination Event commence an action or proceeding in the court having 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 Convertible Notes, Pledged Treasury Securities and the payments by Holders (or the Permitted Investments of such payments) pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof and

Proceeds and all other payments received by the Collateral Agent in respect of the foregoing, or as the case may be, as provided by this Section 3.15.

(c) Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event and the Transfer to the Purchase Contract Agent of the Pledged Convertible Notes or the Pledged Treasury Securities, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 3.15, the Purchase Contract Agent shall request transfer instructions with respect to such Convertible Notes or Pledged Treasury Securities, as the case may be, from each Holder by written request, substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, mailed to such Holder at its address as it appears in the Security Register.

(d) Upon book-entry transfer of the Corporate Units or the Treasury Units or delivery of a Corporate Units Certificate or Treasury Units Certificate to the Purchase Contract Agent with such transfer instructions, the Purchase Contract Agent shall transfer the Pledged Convertible Notes or Pledged Treasury Securities, as the case may be, underlying such Corporate Units or Treasury Units, as the case may be, to such Holder by book-entry transfer, or other appropriate procedures, in accordance with such instructions and, in the case of the Pledged Convertible Notes, in accordance with the terms of the Supplemental Indenture. In the event a Holder of Corporate Units or Treasury Units fails to effect such transfer or delivery, the Pledged Convertible Notes or Pledged Treasury Securities, as the case may be, underlying such Corporate Units of Treasury Units, as the case maybe, and any distributions thereon, shall be held in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent or its nominee in trust for the benefit of such Holder, until the earlier to occur of:

	(i) the transfer of such Corporate Units or Treasury Units or surrender of the Corporate Units Certificate or Treasury Units Certificate or the receipt by the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent from such Holder of satisfactory evidence that such Corporate Units Certificate or Treasury Units Certificate has been destroyed, lost or stolen, together with any indemnity that may be required by the Purchase Contract Agent and the Company; and

	(ii) the expiration of the time period specified by the applicable law governing abandoned property in the state in which the Purchase Contract Agent holds such property.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchase Contract Agent may opt to deliver to the Company any funds or property held for two years, in which event the Company shall have sole responsibility for compliance with all applicable escheat laws with respect to all funds or property returned to it pursuant to this sentence.

Section 3.16. No Consent to Assumption. Each Holder of a Unit, by acceptance thereof, shall be deemed expressly to have (a) withheld any consent to the assumption under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, of the Purchase Contract by the Company or its trustee, receiver, liquidator or a person or entity performing similar functions in the event that the Company becomes a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code or subject to other similar state or Federal law providing for reorganization or liquidation and (b) agreed with the Company, the Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary that the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Contract constitutes a “swap agreement” within the meaning of Section 101 (53B) of the Bankruptcy Code and that each such Holder shall constitute a “swap participant” within the meaning of Section 101 (53C) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 3.17. Substitutions. Whenever a Holder has the right to substitute Treasury Securities or Convertible Notes, as the case may be, or security entitlements for either of them for financial assets held in the Collateral Account, such substitution shall not constitute a novation of the security interest created hereby.

(a) The Collateral Agent shall transfer all income and distributions received by it on account of the Pledged Convertible Notes (if the Pledged Convertible Notes are in the name of the Collateral Agent) or Permitted Investments from time to time held in the Collateral Account to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to the applicable Holders as provided in this Agreement and the Purchase Contracts.

(b) Any payment on any Convertible Note on any Payment Date which is paid on or immediately prior to any Payment Date shall, subject to receipt thereof by the Purchase Contract Agent from the Company or from the Collateral Agent as provided in Section 4.01(a) above, be paid on the related Payment Date to the Person in whose name the Corporate Units Certificate (or one or more Predecessor Corporate Units Certificates) relating to such Convertible Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Payment Date.

the Securities Intermediary, the Securities Intermediary shall invest such payments in the Permitted Investments described in clause (4) of the definition of Permitted Investments, and provided, further, however, that any such Permitted Investments shall mature on or prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. In no event shall the Collateral Agent or the Securities Intermediary be liable for the selection of Permitted Investments or for investment losses incurred thereon. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Securities Intermediary shall have any liability in respect of losses incurred based on acting or omitting to act under this Section 4.02(a) pursuant to any direction of the Company or as a result of the failure of the Company to provide timely written investment direction.

(b) All payments received by the Securities Intermediary in respect of (1) the Convertible Notes and (2) the Treasury Securities or security entitlements with respect thereto, that, in each case, have been released from the Pledge pursuant hereto shall be transferred to the Purchase Contract Agent for the benefit of the applicable Holders for distribution to such Holders in accordance with their respective interests.

Section 4.03. Notice and Voting. (a) Subject to Section 4.03(b) hereof, the Purchase Contract Agent may exercise, or refrain from exercising, any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Convertible Notes or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement; provided that the Purchase Contract Agent shall not exercise or shall not refrain from exercising such right, as the case may be, if, in the judgment of the Purchase Contract Agent, such action would impair or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the value of all or any of the Pledged Convertible Notes; and provided further that the Purchase Contract Agent shall give the Company and the Collateral Agent at least five Business 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 Convertible Notes, including either notice of any meeting at which holders of the Convertible Notes are entitled to vote or the solicitation of consents, waivers or proxies of holders of the Convertible Notes, the Collateral Agent shall 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, to execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent such proxies and other instruments in respect of such Pledged Convertible Notes (in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent) as are prepared by the Company and delivered to the Purchase Contract Agent with respect to the Pledged Convertible Notes.

(b) Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which holders of Convertible Notes are entitled to vote or upon any solicitation of consents, waivers or proxies of holders of Convertible Notes, the Purchase Contract Agent

shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, mail, first class, postage pre-paid, to the Holders of Corporate Units a notice:

	(i) containing such information as is contained in the notice or solicitation;

	(ii) stating that each Holder on the record date set by the Purchase Contract Agent therefor (which, to the extent possible, shall be the same date as the record date set by the Company for determining the holders of Convertible Notes entitled to vote) shall be entitled to instruct the Purchase Contract Agent as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the Convertible Notes that are a component of their Corporate Units; and

	(iiii) stating the manner in which such instructions may be given.

Upon the written request of the Holders of Corporate Units on such record date received by the Purchase Contract Agent at least six days prior to such meeting or the expiration date of any consent solicitation, the Purchase Contract Agent shall endeavor insofar as practicable to vote or cause to be voted or to consent with respect to, in accordance with the instructions set forth in such requests, the maximum aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes as to which any particular voting or consenting instructions are received. In the absence of specific instructions from the Holder of Corporate Units, the Purchase Contract Agent shall abstain from voting or consenting with respect to the Convertible Notes that are a component of such Corporate Units. The Company hereby agrees, if applicable, to solicit Holders of Corporate Units to timely instruct the Purchase Contract Agent as to the exercise of such voting or consenting rights in order to enable the Purchase Contract Agent to vote or consent with respect to such Convertible Notes.

(c) The Holders of Corporate Units and the Holders of Treasury Units shall, in their capacity as Holders, have no voting rights, rights to dividends or other distributions or other rights in respect of Common Stock.

Section 4.04. Payments to Purchase Contract Agent. The Securities Intermediary shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver any payments required to be made by it to the Purchase Contract Agent hereunder to the account designated by the Purchase Contract Agent for such purpose not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day such payment is received by the Securities Intermediary; provided, however, that if such payment is received on a day that is not a Business Day or after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, then the Securities Intermediary shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such payment to the Purchase Contract Agent no later than 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 4.05. Payments Held in Trust. If the Purchase Contract Agent or any Holder shall receive any payments on account of financial assets credited to the Collateral Account (other than interest on the Convertible Notes) and not released therefrom in accordance with this Agreement, the Purchase Contract Agent or such Holder shall hold such payments as trustee of an express trust for the benefit of the Company and, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate of the Company so directing, promptly deliver such payments to the Securities Intermediary for credit to the Collateral Account or to the Company for application to the Obligations of the applicable Holder or Holders, and the Purchase Contract Agent and Holders shall acquire no right, title or interest in any such payments of principal amounts so received. The Purchase Contract Agent shall have no liability under this Section 4.05 unless and until it has been notified in writing that such payment was delivered to it erroneously and shall have no liability for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken prior to its receipt of such notice.

ARTICLE 5
THE PURCHASE CONTRACTS

Section 5.01. Purchase of Shares of Common Stock. (a) Each Purchase Contract shall obligate the Holder of the related Unit to purchase, and the Company to sell, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date at a price equal to the Stated Amount (the “Purchase Price”), a number of newly issued shares of Common Stock (subject to Section 5.08) equal to the Settlement Rate unless an Early Settlement, a Cash Merger Early Settlement or a Termination Event with respect to the Units of which such Purchase Contract is a part shall have occurred. The “Settlement Rate” is equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts determined over a 20 consecutive Trading Day period ending on and including the third trading day prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date (the “Observation Period”). The “Daily Settlement Amount” for each Trading Day during the Observation Period is equal to:

	(i) if the Applicable Market Value on such Trading Day is less than or equal to the Reference Price, 0.9183 shares of Common Stock per Purchase Contract, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5.04 below (as adjusted, the “Maximum Daily Amount”); and

	(ii) if the Applicable Market Value on such Trading Day is greater than the Reference Price, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5.04 below, the number of shares of Common Stock equal to $50 divided by such Applicable Market Value;

in each case rounded upward or downward to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share.

(b) Each Holder of a Corporate Unit or a Treasury Unit, by its acceptance of such Unit:

	(i) irrevocably authorizes the Purchase Contract Agent to enter into and perform the related Purchase Contract on its behalf as its attorney-in-fact (including, without limitation, the execution of Certificates on behalf of such Holder);

	(ii) agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of such Unit, including but not limited to the terms and provisions of the Purchase Contract;

	(iii) covenants and agrees to perform its obligations under such Purchase Contract and under this Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement for so long as such Holder remains a Holder of a Corporate Unit or a Treasury Unit;


	(iv) consents to the provisions hereof,

	(v) irrevocably authorizes the Purchase Contract Agent to enter into and perform this Agreement on its behalf and in its name as its attorney-in-fact;

	(vi) consents to, and agrees to be bound by, the Pledge of such Holder’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral, including the Convertible Notes or the Treasury Securities pursuant to this Agreement, and the delivery of the Convertible Notes by the Purchase Contract Agent to the Collateral Agent; and

	(vii) for United States federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, agrees to (A) treat its acquisition of the Corporate Units as an acquisition of the Convertible Notes and Purchase Contracts constituting the Corporate Units, (B) treat the Convertible Notes as indebtedness of the Company and (C) treat itself as the owner of the applicable interests in the Collateral, including the Convertible Notes or the Treasury Securities, as applicable;

provided that upon a Termination Event, the rights of the Holder of such Units under the Purchase Contract may be enforced without regard to any other rights or obligations.

(c) Each Holder of a Corporate Unit or a Treasury Unit, by its acceptance thereof, further covenants and agrees that to the extent and in the manner provided in Section 5.02 hereof, but subject to the terms thereof, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, Proceeds of the Pledged Convertible Notes or

the Pledged Treasury Securities, as applicable, equal to the Purchase Price shall be paid by the Collateral Agent to the Company in satisfaction of such Holder’s obligations under such Purchase Contract and such Holder shall acquire no right, title or interest in such Proceeds.

(d) Upon registration of transfer of a Certificate, the transferee shall be bound (without the necessity of any other action on the part of such transferee) by the terms of this Agreement and the Purchase Contracts underlying such Certificate and the transferor shall be released from the obligations under this Agreement and the Purchase Contracts underlying the Certificate so transferred. The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Certificate, by its acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, to be bound by the provisions of this paragraph.

Section 5.02. Cash Settlement; Remarketing; Notices; Separate Convertible Notes; Registration.

(a) Cash Settlement. (i) Unless (A) a Termination Event has occurred, or (B) a Holder effects an Early Settlement or a Cash Merger Early Settlement of the underlying Purchase Contract, each Holder of Corporate Units shall have the right to satisfy in Cash such Holder’s Obligations with respect to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. Each Holder of Corporate Units who intends to pay in Cash to satisfy such Holder’s Obligations under the Purchase Contract with respect to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date shall notify the Purchase Contract Agent by use of a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit E hereto of his intention to pay in cash (a “Cash Settlement”) the Purchase Price for the Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to the related Purchase Contract. Such notice shall be given prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day immediately preceding the first Remarketing Date, but no earlier than the Company’s notice of a Remarketing as set forth under clause (c)(i) below.

	(ii) A Holder of a Corporate Unit who has so notified the Purchase Contract Agent of his intention to effect a Cash Settlement in accordance with Section 5.02(a)(i) above shall pay the Purchase Price to the Securities Intermediary for deposit in the Collateral Account prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the first Remarketing Date, in lawful money of the United States by certified or cashiers check or wire transfer in immediately available funds payable to or upon the order of the Securities Intermediary.

	(iii) If a Holder of a Corporate Unit fails to notify the Purchase Contract Agent of its intention to make a Cash Settlement in accordance with Section 5.02(a)(i), or does notify the Purchase Contract Agent as provided in Section 5.02(a)(i) of its intention to pay the Purchase Price in cash, but fails to make such payment as required by Section 5.02(a)(ii),

	such Holder shall be deemed to have consented to the disposition of the Convertible Notes underlying the Pledged Convertible Notes pursuant to any Remarketing occurring on a Remarketing Date as described in Section 5.02(b) below.

	(iv) Promptly after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day preceding the first Remarketing Date, the Purchase Contract Agent, based on notices received by the Purchase Contract Agent pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(i) hereof and notice from the Securities Intermediary regarding cash received by it prior to such time in a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto, shall notify the Collateral Agent in writing of the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes attributable to the Pledged Convertible Notes to be remarketed in any Remarketing occurring on a Remarketing Date.

	(v) Upon (A) receipt by the Collateral Agent of the instruction from the Purchase Contract Agent in substantially the form of Exhibit P hereto promptly after the receipt by the Purchase Contract Agent of a notice from a Holder of Corporate Units that such Holder has elected, in accordance with Section 5.02(a)(i) to effect a Cash Settlement and (B) the payment by such Holder of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 5.02(a)(ii) above, the Collateral Agent shall:

	(1) instruct the Securities Intermediary to invest any such Cash in Permitted Investments consistent with the instructions of the Company as provided for below in this Section 5.02(a)(v);

	(2) release from the Pledge the Convertible Notes underlying the Pledged Convertible Notes related to the Corporate Units as to which such Holder has effected a Cash Settlement; and

	(3) instruct the Securities Intermediary to Transfer all such Convertible Notes to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to such Holder, in each case free and clear of the Pledge created hereby, whereupon the Purchase Contract Agent shall Transfer such Convertible Notes in accordance with written instructions provided by the Holder thereof or, if no such instructions are given to the Purchase Contract Agent by the Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent shall hold such Convertible Notes, and any interest payment thereon, in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent or its nominee in trust for the benefit of such Holder until the expiration

of the time period specified in the relevant abandoned property laws of the state where such Convertible Notes and interest payments thereon, if any, are held.

The Company shall instruct the Collateral Agent in writing as to the type of Permitted Investments in which any such Cash shall be invested; provided, however, that if the Company fails to deliver such written instructions by 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the day such Cash is received by the Collateral Agent or to be reinvested by the Securities Intermediary, the Securities Intermediary shall invest such Cash in the Permitted Investments described in clause (4) of the definition of Permitted Investments, and provided, further, however, that any such Permitted Investments shall mature on or prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. The Collateral Agent may conclusively rely on any written direction and shall bear no liability for any loss or other damage based on acting or omitting to act under this Section 5.02 pursuant to any direction of the Company and in no event shall the Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary be liable for the selection of Permitted Investments or for investment losses incurred thereon. The Collateral Agent and Securities Intermediary shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the failure of the Company to provide timely written investment direction.

Upon maturity of the Permitted Investments on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Collateral Agent shall, and is hereby authorized to, (A) instruct the Securities Intermediary to remit to the Company on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date such portion of the proceeds of such Permitted Investments as is equal to the aggregate Purchase Price under all Purchase Contracts in respect of which Cash Settlement has been affected as provided in this Section 5.02 to the Company on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, and (B) release any amounts in excess of such amount earned from such Permitted Investments to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to the Holders who have effected Cash Settlement pro-rata in proportion to the amount paid by such Holders under Section 5.02(a)(ii) above.

(b) Remarketing. (i) Unless a Termination Event has occurred prior to the first Remarketing Date, in order to dispose of the Pledged Convertible Notes of any Holders of Corporate Units, who have not notified the Purchase Contract Agent of their intention to effect a Cash Settlement as provided in Section 5.02(a)(i) above, or who have so notified the Purchase Contract Agent but failed to make such payment as required by Section 5.02(a)(ii) above, in each case along

with any Separate Convertible Notes, the holders of which have elected to participate in a Remarketing pursuant to clause (c)(ii) below, the Company shall engage the Remarketing Agents pursuant to the Remarketing Agreement to remarket such Convertible Notes on the first Remarketing Date and, unless a Successful Remarketing occurs on such first Remarketing Date, the Company shall engage the Remarketing Agents pursuant to the Remarketing Agreement to remarket such Convertible Notes on the second Remarketing Date. The Purchase Contract Agent, based on the notices specified pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(iv), shall notify the Remarketing Agents in writing, promptly after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the Remarketing Date, of the aggregate principal amount of Pledged Convertible Notes that are to be remarketed. Concurrently, the Custodial Agent, based on the notices specified in clause (c)(ii) below, will notify the Remarketing Agents in writing of the aggregate principal amount of Separate Convertible Notes to be remarketed in any Remarketing. Upon receipt of notice from the Purchase Contract Agent as set forth in Section 5.02(b)(i) above and notice of the Separate Convertible Notes (if any) from the Custodial Agent as set forth in Section 5.02(b)(i) above, the Remarketing Agents shall, on the Remarketing Date or Dates, use reasonable efforts to remarket, as provided in the Remarketing Agreement (subject to the execution of a Remarketing Agreement and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth therein), such Convertible Notes and such Separate Convertible Notes at or above the applicable Remarketing Price.

(ii) If the Remarketing Agents are able to remarket such Convertible Notes and Separate Convertible Notes (if any) for at least the Remarketing Price in any Remarketing (other than to the Company) in accordance with the Remarketing Agreement (a “Successful Remarketing”), the Collateral Agent shall cause the Securities Intermediary to transfer to the Remarketing Agents (or a designee appointed by them) the remarketed Pledged Convertible Notes upon confirmation of deposit to the Collateral Account of proceeds of such Successful Remarketing attributable to such Convertible Notes, and the Custodial Agent shall transfer the remarketed Separate Convertible Notes to the Remarketing Agents (or a designee appointed by them) upon confirmation of receipt of proceeds of such Successful Remarketing attributable to such Separate Convertible Notes. Settlement shall occur on the Remarketing Settlement Date. Upon deposit in the Collateral Account of such proceeds, the Collateral Agent shall, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, upon written direction of the Purchase Contract Agent (which direction shall include the calculation set forth below of the amount to be remitted by the Securities Intermediary), instruct the Securities Intermediary to remit a portion of such proceeds equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Convertible Notes to satisfy in full the Obligations of Holders of Corporate Units to pay the Purchase Price for

	the shares of Common Stock under the related Purchase Contracts, less the amount of any accrued and unpaid Contract Adjustment Payments payable to such Holders, and promptly remit the balance of such proceeds to the Purchase Contract Agent for payment to the Holders of Corporate Units, whereupon the Purchase Contract Agent shall make such payment on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date Pro Rata in accordance with their respective interests. With respect to any Separate Convertible Notes remarketed, the Custodial Agent shall remit such proceeds of the Successful Remarketing received from the Remarketing Agents pro rata to Holders of such Separate Convertible Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, Holders and holders of Separate Notes participating in a Successful Remarketing shall not be liable for payment of any remarketing fee.

	(iii) If, in spite of its reasonable efforts, the Remarketing Agents cannot remarket the Convertible Notes on or prior to the second Remarketing Date at a price not less than the Remarketing Price (other than to the Company) or a condition precedent set forth in the Remarketing Agreement is not fulfilled, the remarketing will be deemed to have failed (a “Failed Remarketing”). Following a Failed Remarketing, as of the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, each Holder of any Pledged Convertible Notes, unless such Holder has provided written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent in substantially the form of Exhibit M hereto of its intention to settle the related Purchase Contract with separate cash prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date and on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day delivered the Purchase Price to the Securities Intermediary for deposit in the Collateral Account in lawful money of the United States by certified or cashiers check or wire transfer in immediately available funds payable to or upon the order of the Securities Intermediary, shall be deemed to have exercised such Holder’s Put Right with respect to the Pledged Convertible Notes and to have elected to apply the Proceeds of the Put Right equal to the aggregate Purchase Price against such Holder’s obligation to pay the aggregate Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock to be issued under the related Purchase Contracts in full satisfaction of such Holders’ Obligations under such Purchase Contracts. Following such application, if practicable by way of set-off, each such Holder’s Obligations, including to pay the Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock, will be deemed to be satisfied in full, and upon written instruction from the Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent shall cause the Securities Intermediary to release the Pledged Convertible Notes from the Collateral Account and shall promptly transfer such Convertible Notes to the Company. Upon (x) receipt by the Collateral Agent of a notice from the Purchase Contract Agent in substantially the form of Exhibit N hereto promptly after the

receipt by the Purchase Contract Agent of a notice from a Holder of Corporate Units that such Holder has elected, in accordance with this Section 5.02(b)(iii), to settle the related Purchase Contract with separate cash and (y) payment by such Holder to the Securities Intermediary of the Purchase Price in accordance with the second sentence of this Section 5.02(b)(iii), in lieu of exercise of such Holder’s Put Right, the Securities Intermediary shall give the Purchase Contract Agent notice of the receipt of such payment in substantially the form of Exhibit O hereto and shall (A) invest the separate cash received in Permitted Investments consistent with the instructions of the Company as provided in Section 5.02(a)(v) with respect to Cash Settlement, (B) promptly release from the Pledge the Convertible Notes related to the Corporate Units as to which such Holder has paid such separate cash and (C) promptly Transfer all such Convertible Notes to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to such Holder, in each case free and clear of the Pledge created hereby, whereupon the Purchase Contract Agent shall Transfer such Convertible Notes in accordance with written instructions provided by the Holder thereof or, if no such instructions are given to the Purchase Contract Agent by the Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent shall hold such Convertible Notes, and any interest payment thereon, in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent or its nominee in trust for the benefit of such Holder until the expiration of the time period specified in the relevant abandoned property laws of the state where such Convertible Notes and interest payments thereon, if any, are held. Upon maturity of the Permitted Investments on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Collateral Agent shall upon written instruction from the Company, and is hereby authorized to, (A) instruct the Securities Intermediary to remit to the Company on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date such portion of the proceeds of such Permitted Investments as is equal to the aggregate Purchase Price under all Purchase Contracts in respect of which separate cash has been paid as provided in this Section 5.02(b)(iii) (as set forth in the instruction from the Company) to the Company on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, and (B) release any amounts in excess of such amount earned from such Permitted Investments to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to the Holders who have paid such separate cash pro-rata in proportion to the amount paid by such Holders under this Section 5.02(b)(iii).

(c) Notices, Separate Convertible Notes; Registration. (i) Not later than 15 days prior to the first Remarketing Date, the Company shall issue a press release and request the Depositary or its nominee to notify the Beneficial Owners or Depositary Participants holding Units and Separate Convertible Notes of the Remarketing Dates and the procedures to be followed in the Remarketing including the procedures to be followed by holders of Separate Convertible Notes

to participate in the Remarketing, the applicable procedures for Holders of Corporate Units to create Treasury Units or Holders of Treasury Units to recreate Corporate Units, the applicable procedures for Holders of Corporate Units to effect an Early Settlement and, the applicable procedures to effect a Cash Settlement and the applicable procedures that must be followed by a holder of Separate Convertible Notes if such holder wishes to exercise its Put Right or by a Holder if such Holder elects not to exercise its Put Right.


	(ii) Prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day immediately preceding the first Remarketing Date, but no earlier than the Payment Date immediately preceding such date, holders of Separate Convertible Notes may elect to have their Separate Convertible Notes remarketed in the Remarketing to occur on a Remarketing Date under the Remarketing Agreement by delivering their Separate Convertible Notes, along with a notice of such election, substantially in the form of Exhibit K attached hereto, to the Custodial Agent. After such time, such election shall become an irrevocable election to have such Separate Convertible Notes remarketed in the Remarketing to occur on a Remarketing Date. The Custodial Agent shall hold the Separate Convertible Notes in an account separate from the Collateral Account in which the Pledged Convertible Notes shall be held. Holders of Separate Convertible Notes electing to have their Separate Convertible Notes remarketed will also have the right to withdraw that election by written notice to the Custodial Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit L hereto, on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day immediately preceding the first Remarketing Date, and following such notice the Custodial Agent shall return such Separate Convertible Notes to such holder.

	(iii) The Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that, if required by applicable law, (x) a registration statement, including a prospectus, under the Securities Act with regard to the full amount of the Convertible Notes to be remarketed in each Remarketing in each case in a form that may be used by the Remarketing Agents in connection with such Remarketing shall be effective with the Securities and Exchange Commission, unless the Company conducts a remarketing in accordance with an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, and (y) to make available copies of such prospectus.

	(iv) The Company shall issue a press release and cause a notice of any Failed Remarketing to be published on its website (with a copy of such notice to be provided to the Purchase Contract Agent) before 9:00 a.m. New York City time on the Business Day immediately following the second Remarketing Date by making a timely release to any appropriate news agency, including Bloomberg News and Dow Xxxxx News Service.

(d) In the case of a Treasury Unit, upon the maturity of the Pledged Treasury Securities held by the Securities Intermediary on the Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the principal amount of the Treasury Securities received by the Securities Intermediary shall be invested in Permitted Investments consistent with the instructions of the Company as provided in Section 5.02(a) with respect to Cash Settlement. On the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, an amount equal to the Purchase Price for all related Purchase Contracts shall be remitted to the Company as payment of such Holder’s Obligations under such Purchase Contracts without receiving any instructions from the Holder. In the event the sum of the Proceeds from the related Pledged Treasury Securities and the Proceeds from such Permitted Investments is in excess of the aggregate Purchase Price, the Collateral Agent shall cause the Securities Intermediary to distribute such excess, when received by the Securities Intermediary, to the Purchase Contract Agent for the benefit of the Holder of the related Treasury Units.

(e) The obligations of the Holders to pay the Purchase Price are non-recourse obligations and, except to the extent satisfied by Early Settlement, Cash Merger Early Settlement or Cash Settlement or terminated upon a Termination Event, are payable solely out of the proceeds of any Collateral pledged to secure the obligations of the Holders, and in no event will Holders be liable for any deficiency between the proceeds of the disposition of Collateral and the Purchase Price.

(f) The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock in respect of a Purchase Contract or deliver any certificates thereof to the Holder of the related Units unless the Company shall have received, subject to Section 5.02(e), payment for the Common Stock to be purchased thereunder in the manner herein set forth.

Section 5.03. Issuance of Shares of Common Stock. Unless a Termination Event, an Early Settlement or a Cash Merger Early Settlement shall have occurred, subject to Section 5.04(b), on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date upon receipt of the aggregate Purchase Price payable on all Outstanding Units in accordance with Section 5.02, the Company shall issue and deposit with the Purchase Contract Agent, for the benefit of the Holders of the Outstanding Units, one or more certificates representing newly issued shares of Common Stock registered in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent (or its nominee) as custodian for the Holders (such certificates for shares of Common Stock, together with any dividends or distributions for which a record date and payment date for such dividend or distribution has occurred after the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, being hereinafter referred to as the “Purchase Contract Settlement Fund”) to which the Holders are entitled hereunder; provided, that, in case such Common Stock is to be delivered through the facilities of DTC or another Depositary, the Company shall cause its stock transfer agent to deliver beneficial interests in such

Common Stock on behalf of the Purchase Contract Agent through such facilities to the Holders entitled thereto.

Subject to the foregoing, upon presentation and surrender of a Certificate, if in certificated form, to the Purchase Contract Agent on or after the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, Early Settlement Date or Cash Merger Early Settlement Date, as the case may be, together with settlement instructions thereon duly completed and executed, the Holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive forthwith in exchange therefor a certificate representing that number of newly issued whole shares of Common Stock which such Holder is entitled to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article 5 (after taking into account all Units then held by such Holder), together with cash in lieu of fractional shares as provided in Section 5.08 and any dividends or distributions with respect to such shares constituting part of the Purchase Contract Settlement Fund, but without any interest thereon, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Such shares shall be registered in the name of the Holder or the Holder’s designee as specified in the settlement instructions set forth on the reverse of the Certificate provided by the Holder to the Purchase Contract Agent. If any shares of Common Stock issued in respect of a Purchase Contract are to be registered in the name of a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate evidencing such Purchase Contract is registered (but excluding any Depositary or nominee thereof), no such registration shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such registration has paid any transfer and other taxes (including any applicable stamp taxes) required by reason of such registration in a name other than that of the registered Holder of the Certificate evidencing such Purchase Contract or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax either has been paid or is not payable.

Section 5.04. Adjustment of the Maximum Daily Amount.

(a) Adjustments for Dividends, Distributions, Stock Splits, Etc.

(i) If the Company issues Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on its Common Stock to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Maximum Daily Amount shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

MDA₁ = MDA₀ × OS₁ / OS₀

	where:

	MDA₀ = the Maximum Daily Amount in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date or the effective date of such share split or share combination;

	MDA₁ = the new Maximum Daily Amount in effect immediately on and after the Ex-Dividend Date, or the effective date of such share split or share combination;

	OS₀ = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination; and

	OS₁ = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (i) shall become effective as of the open of business on (x) the Ex-Dividend Date or (y) the date on which such split or combination becomes effective, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution described in this paragraph (i) is declared but not so paid or made, the new Maximum Daily Amount shall be readjusted to the Maximum Daily Amount that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(ii) If the Company distributes to all holders of its Common Stock any rights, warrants or options entitling them for a period of not more than 45 days after the date of distribution thereof to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, in any case at an exercise price per share of Common Stock less than the Closing Price of the Company’s Common Stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the time of announcement of such distribution, the Maximum Daily Amount shall be increased based on the following formula:

MDA₁ = MDA₀ × (OS₀ + X) / (OS₀ + Y)

	where:

	MDA₀ = the Maximum Daily Amount in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date;

	MDA₁ = the new Maximum Daily Amount in effect immediately on and after the Ex-Dividend Date;

	OS₀ = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date;

	X = the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, warrants or options; and

	Y = the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) the aggregate price payable to exercise all such rights, warrants or options

and (B) the average of the Closing Prices of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Days ending on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for the distribution of such rights, warrants or options.

For purposes of this paragraph (ii), in determining whether any rights, warrants or options entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock at less than the applicable Closing Price of the Common Stock, and in determining the aggregate exercise or conversion price payable for such Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, warrants or options and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Company. If any right, warrant or option described in this paragraph (ii) is not exercised or converted prior to the expiration of the exercisability or convertibility thereof, the new Maximum Daily Amount shall be readjusted to the Maximum Daily Amount that would then be in effect if such right, warrant or option had not been so issued.

	(iii) If the Company distributes shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company to all holders of its Common Stock, excluding:

	(A) dividends, distributions, rights, warrants or options referred to in paragraph (i) or (ii) above;

	(B) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash; and

	(C) Spin-Offs described below in this paragraph (iii), then the Maximum Daily Amount shall be increased based on the following formula:

MDA₁ = MDA₀ × XX₀ / (XX₀ – FMV)

	where

	MDA₀ = the Maximum Daily Amount in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date;

	MDA₁ = the new Maximum Daily Amount in effect immediately on and after the Ex-Dividend Date;

	SP₀ = the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date; and

FMV = the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Company) of the shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets or property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date, expressed as an amount per share of Common Stock.

An adjustment to the Maximum Daily Amount made pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall become effective as of the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date.

If the Company distributes to all holders of its Common Stock capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit (“Spin-Off”), the Maximum Daily Amount in effect immediately following the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off shall be increased based on the following formula:

MDA₁ = MDA₀ × (FMV₀ + MP₀) / MP₀

	where:

	MDA₀ = the Maximum Daily Amount in effect on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off;

	MDA₁ = the new Maximum Daily Amount immediately after the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off;

	FMV₀ = the average of the Closing Prices of the capital stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Trading Days after and including the effective date of the Spin-Off; and

	MP₀ = the average of the Closing Prices of Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Trading Days after the effective date of the Spin-Off.

An adjustment to the Maximum Daily Amount made pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph will occur at the close of business on the 10th Trading Day from and including the effective date of the Spin-Off; provided that in respect of any Purchase Contract Settlement Date that occurs within the 10 Trading Days following the effective date of any Spin-Off, references within this paragraph (iii) to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the effective date of such Spin-Off and the Purchase Contract Settlement Date in determining the Applicable Maximum Daily Amount.

If any such dividend or distribution described in this paragraph (3) is declared but not paid or made, the new Maximum Daily Amount shall be readjusted to be the Maximum Daily Amount that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.


	(iv) If any regular, quarterly cash dividend or distribution made to all or substantially all holders of the Company’s Common Stock during any quarterly fiscal period does not equal $0.30 per share (the “Initial Dividend Threshold”), the Maximum Daily Amount shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

MDA₁ = MDA₀ × (SP₀ – IDT) / (SP0 – C)

	where,

	MDA₀ = the Maximum Daily Amount in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date;

	MDA₁ = the Maximum Daily Amount in effect immediately after the Ex-Dividend Date;

	SP₀ = the Closing Price of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date;

	C = the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to holders of Common Stock; and

	IDT = the Initial Dividend Threshold.

If the denominator of the foregoing fraction is less than $1.00 (including a negative amount) then in lieu of any adjustment under this Section 5.04(iv), the Company shall make adequate provision so that each Holder of Purchase Contracts shall have the right to receive upon settlement, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such settlement, the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder settled such Purchase Contracts on the Ex-Dividend Date.

The Initial Dividend Threshold is subject to adjustment in a manner inversely proportional to adjustments to the Maximum Daily Amount, provided that no adjustment will be made to the Initial Dividend Threshold for any adjustment made to the Maximum Daily Amount under this Section 5.04(iv)

(v) If the Company pays any cash dividend or distribution that is not a regular, quarterly cash dividend or distribution to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock, the Maximum Daily Amount shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

MDA₁ = MDA₀ × XX₀ / (XX₀ – C)

	where,

	MDA₀ = the Maximum Daily Amount in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date;

	MDA₁ = the Maximum Daily Amount in effect immediately after the Ex-Dividend Date;

	SP₀ = the Closing Price of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date; and

	C = the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to holders of its Common Stock.

The Initial Dividend Threshold is subject to adjustment in a manner inversely proportional to adjustments to the Maximum Daily Amount; provided that no adjustment shall be made to the Initial Dividend Threshold for any adjustment made to the Maximum Daily Amount under this Section 5.04(v).

An adjustment to the Maximum Daily Amount made pursuant to Sections 5.04(iv) or 5.04(v) shall become effective as of the open of business on the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution. If any dividend or distribution described in Section 5.04(iv) or 5.04 (v) is declared but not so paid or made, the new Maximum Daily Amount shall be readjusted to the Maximum Daily Amount that would be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the denominator of the foregoing fraction is less than $1.00 (including a negative amount), then in lieu of any adjustment under this Section 5.04(v), the Company shall make adequate provision so that each Holder of Purchase Contracts shall have the right to receive upon settlement, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such settlement, the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder settled such Purchase Contracts on the Ex-Dividend Date.

	(vi) If the Company or any of its subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for the Company’s Common Stock to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Company’s Common Stock exceeds the Closing Price of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Maximum Daily Amount shall be increased based on the following formula:

	MDA₁ = MDA₀ × (AC + (SP₁ × OS₁)) / (SP₁ × OS₀)

	where:

	MDA₀ = the Maximum Daily Amount in effect on the Trading Day on which such tender or exchange offer expires;

	MDA₁ = the Maximum Daily Amount in effect on the Trading Day immediately following the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

	AC = the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined in good faith by the Company) paid or payable for the Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer;

	OS₀ = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

	OS₁ = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the purchase or exchange of shares pursuant to such tender or exchange offer); and

	SP₁ = the Closing Price of Common Stock for the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.

If the application of the foregoing formula would result in a decrease in the Maximum Daily Amount, no adjustment to the Maximum Daily Amount shall be made.

Any adjustment to the Maximum Daily Amount made pursuant to this Section 5.04(vi) shall become effective on the second day immediately following the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires. If the Company or one of its subsidiaries is obligated to purchase the Common Stock pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer but is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchase or all such purchases are rescinded, the new Maximum Daily Amount shall be readjusted to be the Maximum Daily Amount that would be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made.

All required calculations will be made to the nearest cent or 1/1000th of a share, as the case may be.

(vii) If the Company has in effect a rights plan while any Purchase Contracts remain outstanding, Holders of Purchase Contracts shall receive, upon a settlement of Purchase Contracts, in addition to Common Stock, if any, rights under the Company’s shareholder rights agreement unless, prior to settlement, the rights have expired, terminated or been redeemed or unless the rights have separated from the Common Stock. If the rights provided for in the rights plan adopted by the

	Company have separated from the Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable shareholder rights agreement so that Holders of Purchase Contracts would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of any shares of Common Stock delivered upon a settlement of Purchase Contracts, the Maximum Daily Amount shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company had distributed, to all holders of Common Stock, capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property pursuant to Section 5.04(iii) above, subject to readjustment upon the subsequent expiration, termination or redemption of the rights.

	(viii) In addition to the adjustments pursuant to Sections 5.04(i) through 5.04(vi) above, the Company may increase the Maximum Daily Amount in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of its Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of capital stock (or rights to acquire the Company’s Common Stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes. The Company may also, from time to time, to the extent permitted by applicable law, increase the Maximum Daily Amount by any amount for any period if the Company has determined that such increase would be in its best interests. If the Company makes such determination, it shall be conclusive and the Company shall mail to Holders of Purchase Contracts a notice of the increased Maximum Daily Amount and the period during which it will be in effect at least 15 days prior to the date the increased Maximum Daily Amount takes effect in accordance with applicable law.

	(ix) The Company shall not make any adjustment to the Maximum Daily Amount if Holders of Purchase Contracts participate in the dividend, distribution or transaction that would otherwise result in an adjustment to the Maximum Daily Amount at the same time as holders of the Common Stock and as if such Holders of Purchase Contracts owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to a fraction the numerator of which is the product of the Maximum Daily Amount in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date or effective date for the relevant dividend, distribution or transaction, and the aggregate principal amount of Purchase Contracts held by such Holder and the denominator of which is one thousand ($1,000).

	(x) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in addition to the other events set forth herein on account of which no adjustment to the Maximum Daily Amount shall be made, the Maximum Daily Amount shall not be adjusted for:

(A) the issuance of any Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Company or

	those of the Company and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;

	(B) the issuance of any Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director, trustee or consultant benefit plan, employee agreement or arrangement or program of the Company;

	(C) the issuance of any Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security outstanding as of the date the Purchase Contracts were first issued;

	(D) a change in the par value of the Common Stock;

	(E) accumulated and unpaid dividends or distributions; and

	(F) the issuance of limited partnership units by the Company and the issuance of the Common Stock or the payment of cash upon redemption thereof.

(b) Adjustment for Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of Our Common Stock.

(i) In the event of any consolidations, mergers, sales or transfers of assets, share exchanges or other reorganization events (each such event a “Reorganization Event”), pursuant to which all of the Common Stock is converted into the right to receive other securities, cash or property, for each share of Common Stock that a Holder of Units was otherwise entitled to receive on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Cash Merger Early Settlement Date or Early Settlement Date, as applicable, such Holder will receive an amount of the kind and amount of securities, cash or property receivable in any such transaction (without any interest thereon, and without any right to dividends or distribution thereon if such dividends or distributions have a record date that is prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date) by a Holder of one share of Common Stock (the “Reference Property”). Immediately following the effective date of any Reorganization Event:

(A) the Maximum Daily Amount will be an aggregate number of units of Reference Property that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Maximum Daily Amount in effect immediately prior to such Reorganization Event would have received in such Reorganization Event; and

(B) the Daily Settlement Amount for each Trading Day during the Observation Period or Cash Merger Observation Period will be calculated based on the value of one unit of Reference Property as it relates to the Reference Price.

The kind and amount of Reference Property will be determined assuming such holder of one Share of Common Stock is not a Person with which the Company consolidated or into which the Company merged or which merged into the Company or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be (any such Person, a “Constituent Person”), or an Affiliate of a Constituent Person to the extent such Reorganization Event provides for different treatment of Common Stock held by Affiliates of the Company and non-affiliates. If holders of the Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Reorganization Event, then for the purpose of this Section 5.04(b)(i) the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Reorganization Event shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make an election.

For purposes of determining the applicable Settlement Rate under this Section 5.04(b)(i) and Section 5.04(b)(ii), the term “Applicable Market Value” shall be deemed to refer to the “Applicable Market Value” of the Reference Property, and such value shall be determined (A) with respect to any publicly traded securities that compose all or part of the Reference Property, based on the Daily VWAP of such securities, (B) in the case of any cash that composes all or part of the Reference Property, based on the amount of such cash and (C) in the case of any other property that composes all or part of the Reference Property, based on the value of such property, as determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained by the Company for this purpose; provided that prior to the separation of the Rights or any similar stockholder rights from the Common Stock, such Rights or similar stockholder rights shall be deemed to have no value. For the purposes of this paragraph only, the term “Trading Day” shall be deemed to refer to any publicly traded securities that comprise all or part of the Reference Property.

In the event of such a Reorganization Event, the Person formed by such consolidation, merger or exchange or the Person that acquires the assets of the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent an agreement supplemental hereto providing that each Holder of an Outstanding Unit shall have the rights provided by this Section 5.04(b)(i). Such supplemental agreement shall provide for adjustments which, for events subsequent to the effective date of such supplemental agreement, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 5.04. The above provisions of this Section 5.04 shall similarly apply to successive Reorganization Events.

(ii) Prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, upon the occurrence of any transaction or event (whether by means of a share exchange or tender offer applicable to the Common Stock, a liquidation, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, combination or merger of us or a sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of our consolidated assets) or a series of related transactions or events pursuant to which 50% or more of outstanding Common Stock is exchanged for, converted into or constitutes solely the right to receive cash, securities or other property, more than 10% of which consists of cash, securities or other property that is not, or will not be upon consummation of such transaction, listed on a national securities exchange (a “Cash Merger”), then a Holder of a Unit may settle (“Cash Merger Early Settlement”) its Purchase Contract, upon the conditions and in the manner set forth below; provided that no Cash Merger Early Settlement will be permitted pursuant to this Section 5.04(b)(ii) unless, at the time such Cash Merger Early Settlement is effected, there is an effective Registration Statement with respect to any securities to be issued and delivered in connection with such Cash Merger Early Settlement, if such a Registration Statement is required (in the view of counsel, which need not be in the form of a written opinion, for the Company) under the Securities Act. If such a Registration Statement is so required, the Company covenants and agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to (x) have in effect a Registration Statement covering any securities to be delivered in respect of the Purchase Contracts being settled and (y) provide a Prospectus in connection therewith, in each case in a form that may be used in connection with such Cash Merger Early Settlement. If a Holder elects a Cash Merger Early Settlement of some or all of its Purchase Contracts, such Holder shall be entitled to receive, on the Cash Merger Early Settlement Date, the aggregate amount of any accrued and unpaid Contract Adjustment Payments, with respect to such Purchase Contracts (except when the Cash Merger Early Settlement Date falls after any Record Date and prior to the next succeeding Payment Date, in which case Contract Adjustment Payments shall be payable to the Person in whose name a Certificate is registered at the close of business on such Record Date relating to the next succeeding Payment Date). The Company shall pay such amount as a credit against the amount otherwise payable by such Holder to effect such Cash Merger Early Settlement.

Within five Business Days of the completion of a Cash Merger, the Company shall provide written notice to Holders of such completion of a Cash Merger, which shall specify the deadline for submitting the notice to settle early in cash pursuant to this Section 5.04(b)(ii), the date on which such Cash Merger Early Settlement shall occur (which date shall be at least ten days after the date of such written notice by the Company and shall in no event be later than the earlier

of (x) 20 days after the date of such written notice by the Company and (y) two Business Days immediately preceding the first Remarketing Date) (the “Cash Merger Early Settlement Date”), the consideration receivable (including the manner of determining the amount of such consideration as described below) by the Holder, including the amount of Contract Adjustment Payments receivable, upon settlement.

In order to exercise the right to effect Cash Merger Early Settlement with respect to any Purchase Contracts, the Holder of the Certificate evidencing Units shall deliver, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day immediately preceding the Cash Merger Early Settlement Date, such Certificate to the Purchase Contract Agent at the Corporate Trust Office duly endorsed for transfer to the Company or in blank with the form of Election to Settle Early on the reverse thereof duly completed and accompanied by payment (payable to the Company in immediately available funds) in an amount equal to the result of:

	(i) the product of (A) the Stated Amount times (B) the number of Purchase Contracts with respect to which the Holder has elected to effect Cash Merger Early Settlement, less

	(ii) the amount of any accrued and unpaid Contract Adjustment Payments (except when the Cash Merger Early Settlement Date falls after any Record Date and prior to the next succeeding Payment Date).

Upon receipt of such Certificate and payment of such funds, the Purchase Contract Agent shall pay the Company from such funds the related Purchase Price pursuant to the terms of the related Purchase Contracts, and notify the Collateral Agent that all the conditions necessary for a Cash Merger Early Settlement by a Holder have been satisfied pursuant to which the Purchase Contract Agent has received from such Holder, and paid to the Company as confirmed in writing by the Company, the related Purchase Price.

Upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of the notice from the Purchase Contract Agent set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, the Collateral Agent shall release from the Pledge, (1) the Pledged Convertible Notes in the case of a Holder of Corporate Units or (2) the Pledged Treasury Securities, in the case of a Holder of Treasury Units, in each case with a Value (as determined by the Purchase Contract Agent) equal to the product of (x) the Stated Amount and (y) the number of Purchase Contracts as to which such Holder has elected to effect Cash Merger Early Settlement, and shall instruct the Securities Intermediary to Transfer all such Pledged Convertible Notes or Pledged Treasury Securities, as the case may be, to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to such Holder, in each case free and clear of the Pledge created hereby.

If a Holder properly effects an effective Cash Merger Early Settlement in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.04(c)(ii), the Company will deliver (or will cause the Collateral Agent to deliver) to the Holder on the Cash Merger Early Settlement Date:


	(A) Units of Reference Property at a Settlement Rate calculated as set forth in Section 5.01(a), but based on the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts determined over a 20 consecutive Trading Day period ending on and including the effective date of the Cash Merger (the “Cash Merger Observation Period”);

	(B) the Convertible Notes or Treasury Securities, as the case may be, related to the Purchase Contracts with respect to which the Holder is effecting a Cash Merger Early Settlement; and

	(C) if so required under the Securities Act, a Prospectus as contemplated by this Section 5.04(b)(ii).

The Corporate Units or the Treasury Units of the Holders who do not elect Cash Merger Early Settlement in accordance with the foregoing will continue to remain outstanding and be subject to settlement on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date in accordance with the terms hereof.

(d) All calculations and determinations pursuant to this Article 5 shall be made by the Company or its agent and the Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall have no responsibility with respect to this Agreement.

Section 5.05. Notice of Adjustments and Certain Other Events. (a) Whenever the Maximum Daily Amount is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall within 10 Business Days following the occurrence of an event that requires an adjustment to each Maximum Daily Amount pursuant to Section 5.04 (or if the Company is not aware of such occurrence, as soon as practicable after becoming so aware)

	(i) compute each adjusted Maximum Daily Amount in accordance with Section 5.04 and prepare and transmit to the Purchase Contract Agent an Officer’s Certificate setting forth each Maximum Daily Amount, the method of calculation thereof in reasonable detail, and the facts requiring such adjustment and upon which such adjustment is based; and

	(ii) provide a written notice to the Holders of the Units of the occurrence of such event and a statement in reasonable detail setting forth

the method by which the adjustment to each Maximum Daily Amount was determined and setting forth each adjusted Maximum Daily Amount.

(b) The Purchase Contract Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of each Maximum Daily Amount, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed in making the same. The Purchase Contract Agent shall be fully authorized and protected in relying on any Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.05(a)(i) and any adjustment contained therein and the Purchase Contract Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment unless and until it has received such certificate. The Purchase Contract Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities or property, which may at the time be issued or delivered with respect to any Purchase Contract; and the Purchase Contract Agent makes no representation with respect thereto. The Purchase Contract Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Purchase Contract or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article 5.

Section 5.06. Termination Event; Notice.

The Purchase Contracts and all obligations and rights of the Company and the Holders thereunder, including, without limitation, the rights of the Holders to receive and the obligation of the Company to pay any Contract Adjustment Payments (including any accrued and unpaid Contract Adjustment Payments), and the rights and obligations of Holders to purchase Common Stock, shall immediately and automatically terminate, without the necessity of any notice or action by any Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent or the Company, if, prior to or on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, a Termination Event shall have occurred.

Upon and after the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Units shall thereafter represent the right to receive the Convertible Notes or the Treasury Securities, as the case may be, forming part of such Units, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.15 hereof. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Company shall promptly but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter give written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Holders, at their addresses as they appear in the Security Register.

Section 5.07. Early Settlement. (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.07, at the option of the Holder thereof, Purchase Contracts underlying Units may be settled early (“Early Settlement”) at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately

preceding the first scheduled Trading Day of the Observation Period; provided that no Early Settlement will be permitted pursuant to this Section 5.07 unless, at the time such Early Settlement is effected, there is an effective Registration Statement with respect to any securities to be issued and delivered in connection with such Early Settlement, if such a Registration Statement is required (in the view of counsel, which need not be in the form of a written opinion, for the Company) under the Securities Act. If such a Registration Statement is so required, the Company covenants and agrees to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to (i) have in effect a Registration Statement covering any securities to be delivered in respect of the Purchase Contracts being settled and (ii) provide a Prospectus in connection therewith, in each case in a form that may be used in connection with such Early Settlement (it being understood that if there is a material business transaction or development that has not yet been publicly disclosed, the Company will not be required to provide such a Prospectus, and the right to effect Early Settlement will not be available, until the Company has publicly disclosed such transaction or development, provided that the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to make such disclosure as soon as it is commercially reasonable to do so).

(b) In order to exercise the right to effect Early Settlement with respect to any Purchase Contracts, the Holder of the Certificate evidencing Units (in the case of Certificates in definitive certificated form) shall deliver, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the first scheduled Trading Day of the Observation Period, such Certificate to the Purchase Contract Agent at the Corporate Trust Office duly endorsed for transfer to the Company or in blank with the form of Election to Settle Early on the reverse thereof duly completed and accompanied by payment (payable to the Company in immediately available funds) in an amount (the “Early Settlement Amount”) equal to the sum of:

	(i) the product of (A) the Stated Amount and (B) the number of Purchase Contracts with respect to which the Holder has elected to effect Early Settlement, plus,

	(ii) if such delivery is made with respect to any Purchase Contracts during the period from the close of business on any Record Date next preceding any Payment Date to the opening of business on such Payment Date, an amount equal to the Contract Adjustment Payments payable on such Payment Date with respect to such Purchase Contracts.

In the case of Book-Entry Interests, each Beneficial Owner electing Early Settlement must deliver the Early Settlement Amount to the Purchase Contract Agent along with a facsimile of the Election to Settle Early form duly completed, make book-entry transfer of such Book-Entry Interests and comply with the

applicable procedures of the Depositary by the applicable time set forth above in this Section 5.07.

Except as provided in Section 5.10(d), no payment shall be made upon Early Settlement of any Purchase Contract on account of any Contract Adjustment Payments accrued on such Purchase Contract or on account of any dividends on the Common Stock issued upon such Early Settlement. If the foregoing requirements are first satisfied with respect to Purchase Contracts underlying any Units at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, such day shall be the “Early Settlement Date” with respect to such Units and if such requirements are first satisfied after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day, the Early Settlement Date with respect to such Units shall be the next succeeding Business Day.

Upon the receipt of such Certificate, Election to Settle Early form duly completed and Early Settlement Amount from the Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent shall pay to the Company such Early Settlement Amount, the receipt of which payment the Company shall confirm in writing. The Purchase Contract Agent shall then notify the Collateral Agent that (A) such Holder has elected to effect an Early Settlement, which notice shall set forth the number of such Purchase Contracts as to which such Holder has elected to effect Early Settlement, (B) the Purchase Contract Agent has received from such Holder, and paid to the Company as confirmed in writing by the Company, the related Early Settlement Amount and (C) all conditions to such Early Settlement expressly set forth in this Agreement have been satisfied.

Upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of the notice from the Purchase Contract Agent set forth in the preceding paragraph, the Collateral Agent shall release from the Pledge, (1) in the case of a Holder of Corporate Units, the Pledged Convertible Notes relating to the Purchase Contracts to which Early Settlement is effected, or (2) in the case of a Holder of Treasury Units, Pledged Treasury Securities, in each case with a Value (as determined by the Purchase Contract Agent) equal to the product of (x) the Stated Amount times (y) the number of Purchase Contracts as to which such Holder has elected to effect Early Settlement, and shall instruct the Securities Intermediary to Transfer all such Pledged Convertible Notes or Pledged Treasury Securities, as the case may be, to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to such Holder, in each case free and clear of the Pledge created hereby.

Upon Early Settlement of the Purchase Contracts, the rights of the Holders to receive and the obligation of the Company to pay any Contract Adjustment Payments (including any accrued and unpaid Contract Adjustment Payments) with respect to such Purchase Contracts shall immediately and automatically terminate, except as provided in Section 5.10(d).

(c) Upon Early Settlement of Purchase Contracts by a Holder of the related Units, the Company shall issue, and the Holder shall be entitled to receive, a number of shares of Common Stock (or in the case of an Early Settlement following a Reorganization Event, a number of units of Reference Property) equal to the product of 0.85 and the Settlement Rate calculated as set forth in Section 5.01(a) for each Purchase Contract as to which Early Settlement is effected; provided that for purposes of this Section 5.07, the Settlement Rate shall be equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts determined over a 20 consecutive Trading Day period beginning on, and including, the Trading Day immediately following the Early Settlement Date (the “Early Settlement Observation Period”).

(d) No later than the third Business Day after the last Trading Day of the Early Settlement Observation Period, the Company shall cause the shares of Common Stock issuable upon Early Settlement of Purchase Contracts to be issued and delivered, together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 5.08.

(e) Upon Early Settlement of any Purchase Contracts, and subject to receipt of shares of Common Stock from the Company and the Convertible Notes, or Treasury Securities, as the case may be, from the Securities Intermediary, as applicable, the Purchase Contract Agent shall, in accordance with the instructions provided by the Holder thereof on the applicable form of Election to Settle Early on the reverse of the Certificate evidencing the related Units:

	(i) transfer to the Holder the Convertible Notes or Treasury Securities related to such Units, as the case may be,

	(ii) deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the full number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Early Settlement, together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 5.08, and

	(iii) if so required under the Securities Act, deliver a Prospectus for the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Early Settlement as contemplated by Section 5.07(a).

(f) In the event that Early Settlement is effected with respect to Purchase Contracts underlying less than all the Units evidenced by a Certificate, upon such Early Settlement the Company shall execute and the Purchase Contract Agent shall execute on behalf of the Holder, authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a Certificate evidencing the Units as to which Early Settlement was not effected.

Section 5.08. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued or delivered upon settlement on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, or upon Early Settlement or Cash Merger Early Settlement of any Purchase Contracts. If Certificates evidencing more than one Purchase Contract shall be surrendered for settlement at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock which shall be delivered upon settlement shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Purchase Contracts evidenced by the Certificates so surrendered. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock which would otherwise be deliverable upon settlement of any Purchase Contracts on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, or upon Early Settlement or Cash Merger Early Settlement, the Company, through the Purchase Contract Agent, shall make a cash payment in respect of such fractional interest in an amount equal to the percentage of such fractional share multiplied by the Applicable Market Value calculated on the last Trading Day of the Observation Period, Early Settlement Observation Period or Cash Merger Observation Period, as the case may be. The Company shall provide the Purchase Contract Agent from time to time with sufficient funds to permit the Purchase Contract Agent to make all cash payments required by this Section 5.08 in a timely manner.

Section 5.09. Charges and Taxes. The Company will pay all stock transfer and similar taxes attributable to the initial issuance and delivery of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Contracts; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any such tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any exchange of or substitution for a Certificate evidencing a Unit or any issuance of a share of Common Stock in a name other than that of the registered Holder of a Certificate surrendered in respect of the Units evidenced thereby, other than in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent, as custodian for such Holder, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such share certificates or Certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the transfer or issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

Section 5.10. Contract Adjustment Payments. (a) Subject to Section 5.10(d) and Section 5.10(e) through (q), the Company shall pay, on each Payment Date, the Contract Adjustment Payments payable in respect of each Purchase Contract for the period from and including the immediately preceding Payment Date on which Contract Adjustment Payments were paid (or if none, March 20, 2007) to but excluding such Payment Date to the Person in whose name a Certificate is registered at the close of business on the Record Date relating to such Payment Date. Contract Adjustment Payments on Global Certificates will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Depositary. If the book-entry system for the Units has been terminated, the Contract Adjustment Payments will be payable at the office of the Purchase Contract Agent in the

If any Payment Date is not a Business Day, then payment of the Contract Adjustment Payments payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day; provided that if such Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, the payment date for Contract Adjustment Payments or other distributions shall be brought forward to the immediately preceding Business Day; provided further that no interest or other amount shall accrue or be payable by the Company or to any Holder in respect of such delay. Contract Adjustment Payments payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Contract Adjustment Payments will accrue from March 20, 2007.

(c) Each Certificate delivered under this Agreement upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of (including as a result of a Collateral Substitution or the recreation of Corporate Units) any other Certificate shall carry the right to accrued and unpaid Contract Adjustment Payments, which right was carried by the Purchase Contracts underlying such other Certificates.

(d) In the case of any Unit with respect to which Early Settlement or Cash Merger Early Settlement of the underlying Purchase Contract is effected on a date that is after any Record Date and prior to or on the next succeeding Payment Date, Contract Adjustment Payments otherwise payable on such Payment Date shall be payable on such Payment Date notwithstanding such Early Settlement or Cash Merger Early Settlement, and such Contract Adjustment Payments shall be paid to the Person in whose name the Certificate evidencing such Unit is registered at the close of business on such Record Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the immediately preceding sentence, and the right to receive accrued and unpaid Contract Adjustment Payments as set forth in Section 5.04(c)(ii), in the case of any Unit with respect to which Early Settlement or Cash Merger Early Settlement of the underlying Purchase Contract is effected, Contract Adjustment Payments that would otherwise be payable after the most recent Payment Date, in the event of an Early Settlement or the Cash Merger Early Settlement Date, in the event of a Cash Merger Early Settlement, with respect to such Purchase Contract shall not be payable.

(e) The Company’s obligations with respect to Contract Adjustment Payments will be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the Company’s obligations under any Senior Indebtedness as set forth in this Section 5.10.

(f) In the event (x) of any payment by, or distribution of assets of, the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceedings, or (y) subject to the provisions of Section 5.10(h) below, that (A) a default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the payment of principal, interest or any other monetary amounts due and payable on any Senior Indebtedness and such default shall have continued beyond the period of grace, if any, specified in the instrument evidencing such Senior Indebtedness (and the Purchase Contract Agent shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or one or more holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued), or (B) the maturity of any Senior Indebtedness shall have been accelerated because of a default in respect of such Senior Indebtedness (and the Purchase Contract Agent shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or one or more holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued), then:

	(i) the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall first be entitled to receive, in the case of clause (x) above, payment of all amounts due or to become due upon all Senior Indebtedness and, in the case of subclauses (A) and (B) of clause (y) above, payment of all amounts due thereon, or provision shall be made for such payment in money or money’s worth, before the Holders of any of the Units are entitled to receive any Contract Adjustment Payments on the Purchase Contracts underlying the Units;

	(ii) any payment by, or distribution of assets of, the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holders of any of the Units would be entitled except for the provisions of Section 5.10(e) through (q), including any such payment or distribution that may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of such Contract Adjustment Payments on the Purchase Contracts underlying the Units, shall be paid or delivered by the Person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or otherwise, directly to the representative or representatives of the holders of Senior Indebtedness or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate

	amounts remaining unpaid on account of such Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution (or provision therefor) to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution is made of such Contract Adjustment Payments to the Holders of such Units; and

	(iii) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment by, or distribution of assets of, the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, including any such payment or distribution that may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of Contract Adjustment Payments on the Purchase Contracts underlying the Units, shall be received by the Purchase Contract Agent or the Holders of any of the Units when such payment or distribution is prohibited pursuant to Section 5.10(e) through (q), such payment or distribution shall be paid over to the representative or representatives of the holders of Senior Indebtedness or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably as aforesaid, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution (or provision therefor) to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

(g) For purposes of Section 5.10(e) through (q), the words “cash, property or securities” shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other Person provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which is subordinated at least to the extent provided in Section 5.10(e) through (q) with respect to such Contract Adjustment Payments on the Units to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness which may at the time be outstanding; provided that (i) the Senior Indebtedness is assumed by the Person, if any, resulting from any such reorganization or readjustment, and (ii) the rights of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness are not, without the consent of each such holder adversely affected thereby, altered by such reorganization or readjustment.

(h) Any failure by the Company to make any payment on or perform any other obligation under Senior Indebtedness, other than any indebtedness incurred by the Company or assumed or guaranteed, directly or indirectly, by the Company for money borrowed (or any deferral, renewal, extension or refunding thereof) or any indebtedness or obligation as to which the provisions of Section 5.10(e) through (q) shall have been waived by the Company in the instrument or instruments by which the Company incurred, assumed, guaranteed or otherwise created such indebtedness or obligation, shall not be deemed a default or event of

default if (i) the Company shall be disputing its obligation to make such payment or perform such obligation and (ii) either (A) no final judgment relating to such dispute shall have been issued against the Company which is in full force and effect and is not subject to further review, including a judgment that has become final by reason of the expiration of the time within which a party may seek further appeal or review, and (B) in the event a judgment that is subject to further review or appeal has been issued, the Company shall in good faith be prosecuting an appeal or other proceeding for review and a stay of execution shall have been obtained pending such appeal or review.

(i) Subject to the irrevocable payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the Holders of the Units shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with the holders of all obligations of the Company which by their express terms are subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of the Company to the same extent as payment of the Contract Adjustment Payments in respect of the Purchase Contracts underlying the Units is subordinated and which are entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until all such Contract Adjustment Payments owing on the Units shall be paid in full, and as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of such Senior Indebtedness and the Holders, no such payment or distribution made to the holders of Senior Indebtedness by virtue of Section 5.10(e) through (q) that otherwise would have been made to the Holders shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company on account of such Senior Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of Section 5.10(e) through (q) are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders, on the one hand, and the holders of Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand.

(j) Nothing contained in Section 5.10(e) through (q) or elsewhere in this Agreement or in the Units is intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders such Contract Adjustment Payments on the Units as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders and creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Purchase Contract Agent or any Holder from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Agreement, subject to the rights, if any, under Section 5.10(e) through (q), of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

(k) Upon payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in Section 5.10(e) through (q), the Purchase Contract Agent and the Holders shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent

jurisdiction in which any such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceeding affecting the affairs of the Company is pending or upon a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidating trustee or trustee or other person making any payment or distribution, delivered to the Purchase Contract Agent or to the Holders, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to these Section 5.10(e) through (q).

(l) The Purchase Contract Agent shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee or representative on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior Indebtedness or a trustee or representative on behalf of any such holder or holders. In the event that the Purchase Contract Agent determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to Section 5.10(e) through (q), the Purchase Contract Agent may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Purchase Contract Agent as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under Section 5.10(e) through (q), and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Purchase Contract Agent may defer payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.

(m) Nothing contained in Section 5.10(e) through (q) shall affect the obligations of the Company to make, or prevent the Company from making, payment of the Contract Adjustment Payments, except as otherwise provided in these Section 5.10(e) through (q).

(n) Each Holder, by its acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs the Purchase Contract Agent on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in Section 5.10(e) through (q) and appoints the Purchase Contract Agent as its attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

(o) The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent of any fact known to the Company that would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Purchase Contract Agent in respect of the Units pursuant to the provisions of this Section. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.10(e) through (q) or any other provisions of this Agreement, the Purchase Contract Agent shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of

any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Purchase Contract Agent, or the taking of any other action by the Purchase Contract Agent, unless and until the Purchase Contract Agent shall have received written notice thereof mailed or delivered to the Purchase Contract Agent at its Corporate Trust Office from the Company, any Holder, or the holder or representative of any Senior Indebtedness; provided that if at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such moneys may become payable for any purpose, the Purchase Contract Agent shall not have received with respect to such moneys the notice provided for in this Section, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Purchase Contract Agent shall have full power and authority to receive such moneys and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary that may be received by it within two Business Days prior to or on or after such date.

(p) The Purchase Contract Agent in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Section 5.10 with respect to any Senior Indebtedness at the time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness and nothing in this Agreement shall deprive the Purchase Contract Agent of any of its rights as such holder.

(q) No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination herein shall at any time or in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.

(r) Nothing in this Section 5.10 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Purchase Contract Agent under or pursuant to Section 7.07.

(s) With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, (i) the duties and obligations of the Purchase Contract Agent shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement; (ii) the Purchase Contract Agent shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall, acting in good faith, mistakenly pay over or distribute to the Holders or to the Company or any other Person cash, property or securities to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Section 5.10 or otherwise; (iii) no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Purchase Contract Agent; and (iv) the Purchase Contract Agent shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary as to holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

Section 14.02. Covenants. The Purchase Contract Agent and 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 a Transfer of the Units.

ARTICLE 15
THE COLLATERAL AGENT, THE CUSTODIAL AGENT
AND THE SECURITIES INTERMEDIARY

It is hereby agreed as follows:

Section 15.01. Appointment, Powers and Immunities. The Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall act as agent for the Company hereunder with such powers as are specifically vested in the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, by the terms of this Agreement. The Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and Securities Intermediary shall:

(a) have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, liabilities or obligations shall be inferred from this Agreement against the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, nor shall the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary be bound by the provisions of any agreement by any party hereto beyond the specific terms hereof and none of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary shall have any fiduciary duty to the Holders or any other Person;

(b) 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 or the Units, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement (other than as against the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be), the Units, any Collateral 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 Securities Intermediary, as the case may be) to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or, for the perfection, priority or maintenance of any security interest created hereunder;

(c) not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder (except pursuant to directions furnished under Section 15.02 hereof, subject to Section 15.08 hereof);

(d) 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 or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction; and

(e) not be required to advise any party as to selling or retaining, or taking or refraining from taking any action with respect to, any securities or other property deposited hereunder.

Subject to the foregoing, during the term of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall take all reasonable action in connection with the safekeeping and preservation of the Collateral hereunder as determined by industry standards.

The Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall only be responsible for transferring money, securities or other property in accordance with the terms herein to the extent that such money, securities or other property is credited to the Collateral Account.

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 or the exercise of any of its rights or powers 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.

Section 15.02. Instructions of the Company. The Company shall have the right, by one or more written instruments executed and delivered to the Collateral Agent, 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, or to direct the taking or refraining from taking of any action authorized by this Agreement; provided, however, that (a) such direction shall not conflict with the provisions of any law or of this Agreement or involve the Collateral Agent in personal liability and (b) the Collateral Agent shall be indemnified to its satisfaction as provided herein. Nothing contained in this Section 15.02 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. None of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary has any obligation or

100

responsibility to file UCC financing or continuation statements or to take any other actions to create, preserve or maintain the security interest in the Collateral.

Section 15.03. Reliance by Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent and Securities Intermediary. Each of the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon any certification, order, judgment, opinion, notice or other written communication (including, without limitation, any thereof by e-mail or similar electronic means, telecopy, telex or facsimile) believed by it in good faith 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 consult with and conclusively rely upon advice, opinions 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.

In each case that the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary may or is required hereunder to take any action, including without limitation to make any determination or judgment, to give consents, to exercise rights, powers or remedies, to release or sell Collateral or otherwise to act hereunder, the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary may seek direction from the Company. The Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the direction from the Company. Unless direction or otherwise is expressly provided herein, if the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary shall request direction from the Company with respect to any action, the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary shall be entitled to refrain from such action unless and until such agent shall have received direction from the Company, and the agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.

Section 15.04. Certain Rights. (a) Whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Agreement the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action to be taken hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate signed by one of the Company’s officers, and delivered to the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary and such certificate, in the absence

101

of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, shall be full warrant to the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Agreement upon the faith thereof.

(b) The Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, entitlement order, approval or other paper or document.

Section 15.05. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any Person into which the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary shall be the successor of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, provided such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 15.06. 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 other Person interested herein and any Holder (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, the Securities Intermediary and their affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from the Purchase Contract Agent and any Holder without having to account for the same to the Company; provided that each of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary covenants and agrees with the Company that it shall not accept, receive or permit there to be created in favor of itself and shall take no affirmative action to permit there to be created in favor of any other Person, any security interest, lien or other encumbrance of any kind in or upon the Collateral other than the lien created by the Pledge.

Section 15.07. Non-reliance on the Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent and Securities Intermediary. None of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and

102

the Securities Intermediary shall be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Purchase Contract Agent or any Holder of this Agreement, the Units or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of the Purchase Contract Agent or any Holder. None of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary shall have any duty or responsibility to provide the Company with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Purchase Contract Agent or any Holder (or any of their respective affiliates) that may come into the possession of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary or any of their respective affiliates.

Section 15.08. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company agrees to:

(a) pay 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 them hereunder;

(b) indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent, the Securities Intermediary and each of their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (collectively, the “Pledge Indemnitees”), from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, and reasonable expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) (collectively, “Losses” and individually, a “Loss”) that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Pledge Indemnitees or any of them for following any instructions, acting upon any notices or other directions (which shall include an instruction, notice or direction not to act) upon which any of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary is entitled to rely pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, provided that the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary has not acted with negligence or engaged in willful misconduct or bad faith with respect to the specific Loss against which indemnification is sought; and

(c) in addition to and not in limitation of paragraph (b) of this Section 15.08, indemnify and hold the Pledge Indemnitees and each of them harmless from and against any and all Losses that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against, the Pledge Indemnitees or any of them in connection with or arising out of the Collateral Agent’s, the Custodial Agent’s or the Securities Intermediary’s acceptance or performance of its rights, powers and duties under this Agreement, including but not limited to the rights and powers set forth in Section 15.09, provided the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary has not acted with negligence or engaged in willful misconduct or bad faith with respect to the specific Loss against which indemnification is sought.

103

The provisions of this Section and Section 15.14 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 15.09. Failure to Act. In the event that, in the good faith belief of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, an ambiguity in the provisions of this Agreement arises or any actual dispute between or conflicting claims by or among the parties hereto or any other Person with respect to any funds or property deposited hereunder has been asserted in writing, then at its sole option, each of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall be entitled, after prompt notice to the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent, 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 the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, shall not 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:

(a) 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; or

(b) the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary shall have received security or an indemnity satisfactory to it sufficient to hold it harmless from and against any and all loss, liability or reasonable out-of-pocket expense which it may without gross negligence, willful misconduct, or bad faith incur by reason of its acting.

The Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and 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 may deem necessary. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, none of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary shall be required to take any action that is in its opinion contrary to law or to the terms of this Agreement, or which would in its opinion subject it or any of its officers, employees or directors to liability.

Section 15.10. Resignation of Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary. (a) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary as provided below:

104

	(i) the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or 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;

	(ii) the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary may be removed at any time by the Company; and

	(iii) 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 and the Securities Intermediary may be removed by the Purchase Contract Agent, acting at the direction of the Holders of a majority in number of the Outstanding Units.

The Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly notify the Company upon the transmission of notice as contemplated by clause (iii) of this Section 15.10(a) and any removal of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 15.10. 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 shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 45 days after the retiring Collateral Agent’s, Custodial Agent’s or Securities Intermediary’s giving of notice of resignation or the Company’s or the Purchase Contract Agent’s giving notice of such removal, then the retiring or removed Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary may petition any court of competent jurisdiction, at the expense of the Company, for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary. The Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall each be a bank or a national banking association which has an office (or an agency office) in New York City 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 hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, such successor Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, 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, subject to payment of any amounts then due and payable to it hereunder, to transfer any money and property held by it hereunder (including the Collateral) to such successor. The retiring Collateral Agent,

105

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 Article 15 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, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary. Any resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary hereunder, at a time when such Person is also acting as the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement as the simultaneous resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary or the Custodial Agent, as the case may be.

Section 15.11. Right to Appoint Agent or Advisor. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to appoint agents or advisors in connection with any of its duties hereunder, and the Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by, or in reliance upon the advice of, such agents or advisors selected in good faith. The appointment of agents pursuant to this Section 15.11 shall be subject to prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 15.12. Survival. The provisions of this Article 15 shall survive termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary.

Section 15.13. Exculpation. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary or their officers, directors, employees or agents be liable under this Agreement for indirect, special, punitive, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, including, but not limited to, 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 and regardless of the form of action, incurred without any act or deed that is found to be attributable to gross negligence or willful misconduct on the parts of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary.

Section 15.14. Expenses, Etc. The Company agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary for:

(a) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary), in connection with (i) the negotiation,

106

preparation, execution and delivery or performance of this Agreement and (ii) any modification, supplement or waiver of any of the terms of this Agreement;

(b) all costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) in connection with (i) any enforcement or proceedings resulting or incurred in connection with causing any Holder to satisfy its obligations under the Purchase Contracts forming a part of the Units and (ii) the enforcement of this Section 15.14 and Section 15.08;

(c) all transfer, stamp, documentary or other similar taxes, assessments or charges levied by any governmental or revenue authority in respect of this Agreement or any other document referred to herein and all costs, expenses, taxes, assessments and other charges incurred in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated hereby; and

A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such transmission to Holders, be filed by the Purchase Contract Agent with each stock exchange upon which any Units are listed, with the Securities and Exchange Commission and with the Company. The Company will promptly notify the Purchase Contract Agent when any Units are listed on any stock exchange.

Section 16.05. Reports by Company. The Company shall provide to the Purchase Contract Agent such documents, reports information as required by Section 314(a) (if any) and the compliance certificate required by Section 314(a) of the TIA in the form, in the manner and at the times required by Section 314(a) of the TIA; provided that any such information, documents or reports required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act shall be filed with the Purchase Contract Agent within

(REVERSE OF CORPORATE UNITS CERTIFICATE)

Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby is governed by a Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, dated as of March 20, 2007 (as may be supplemented from time to time, the “Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as Purchase Contract Agent (including its successors thereunder, the “Purchase Contract Agent”), and HSBC Bank USA, N.A., as Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent and Securities Intermediary (including its successors thereunder, the “Collateral Agent”), to which Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and supplemental agreements thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Company, and the Holders and of the terms upon which the Corporate Units Certificates are, and are to be, executed and delivered.

Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby obligates the Holder of this Corporate Units Certificate to purchase, and the Company to sell, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date at a price equal to the Stated Amount, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Settlement Rate, unless an Early Settlement, a Cash Merger Early Settlement or a Termination Event with respect to the Units of which such Purchase Contract is a part shall have occurred. The Settlement Rate is subject to adjustment as described in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement.

No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon settlement of Purchase Contracts, as provided in Section 5.08 of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement.

Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby that is settled through Early Settlement or Cash Merger Early Settlement shall obligate the Holder of the related Corporate Units to purchase at the Purchase Price, and the Company to sell, a number of newly issued shares of Common Stock equal to Early Settlement Rate (in the case of an Early Settlement) or applicable Settlement Rate (in the case of a Cash Merger Early Settlement).

In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, unless a Termination Event shall have occurred, the Holder of this Corporate Units Certificate shall pay the Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby by effecting a Cash Settlement, an Early Settlement or, if applicable, a Cash Merger Early Settlement or from the proceeds of a Remarketing of the Pledged Convertible Notes. A Holder of Corporate Units who, (1) does not, on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the

A-2

first Remarketing Date, make an effective Cash Settlement in the manner provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement or (2) on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the first scheduled Trading Day of the Observation Period does not make an effective Early Settlement, shall pay the Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock to be delivered under the related Purchase Contract from the proceeds of the sale of the Pledged Convertible Notes held by the Collateral Agent in the Remarketing unless the Holder has previously made a Cash Merger Early Settlement.

As provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Failed Remarketing, as of the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, each Holder of any Pledged Convertible Notes, unless such Holder has elected settlement with separate cash and delivered such separate cash in accordance with Section 5.02(b)(iii) of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, shall be deemed to have exercised such Holder’s Put Right with respect to the Convertible Notes and to have elected to apply the Proceeds of the Put Right equal to the aggregate Purchase Price against such Holder’s obligation to pay the aggregate Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock to be issued under the related Purchase Contracts in full satisfaction of such Holders’ obligations under such Purchase Contracts.

The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock in respect of a Purchase Contract or deliver any certificates therefor to the Holder unless it shall have received payment of the aggregate Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock to be purchased thereunder in the manner set forth in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement.

Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby and all obligations and rights of the Company and the Holder thereunder shall terminate if a Termination Event shall occur. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Company shall give written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent and to the Holders, at their addresses as they appear in the Security Register. Upon and after the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Collateral Agent shall release the Pledged Convertible Notes forming a part of each Corporate Unit from the Pledge. A Corporate Unit shall thereafter represent the right to receive the Convertible Note in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement.

Under the terms of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, the Purchase Contract Agent will be entitled to exercise the voting and any other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Convertible Notes, but only to the extent instructed in writing by the Holders. Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which holders of Convertible Notes are entitled to vote or upon any solicitation of consents, waivers or proxies of holders of Convertible Notes, the Purchase Contract Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, mail, first class, postage

A-3

pre-paid, to the Holders of Corporate Units the notice required by the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement.

The Corporate Units Certificates are issuable only in registered form and only in denominations of a single Corporate Unit and any integral multiple thereof. The transfer of any Corporate Units Certificate will be registered and Corporate Units Certificates may be exchanged as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. A Holder who elects to substitute a Treasury Security for the Convertible Note thereby creating Treasury Units, shall be responsible for any fees or expenses payable in connection therewith. Except as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, such Corporate Unit shall not be separable into its constituent parts, and the rights and obligations of the Holder of such Corporate Unit in respect of the Convertible Note and Purchase Contract constituting such Corporate Unit may be transferred and exchanged only as a Corporate Unit.

Subject to, and in compliance with, the conditions and terms set forth in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, the Holder of Corporate Units may effect a Collateral Substitution. From and after such Collateral Substitution, each Unit for which Pledged Treasury Securities secure the Holder’s obligation under the Purchase Contract shall be referred to as a “Treasury Unit”.

Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, at the option of the Holder thereof, Purchase Contracts underlying Units may be settled early by effecting an Early Settlement as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement.

Upon Early Settlement of Purchase Contracts by a Holder of the related Units, the Pledged Convertible Notes underlying such Units shall be released from the Pledge as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of Common Stock on account of each Purchase Contract forming part of a Corporate Unit as to which Early Settlement is effected equal to, the Early Settlement Rate.

Upon the occurrence of a Cash Merger, a Holder of Corporate Units may effect Cash Merger Early Settlement of the Purchase Contracts underlying such Corporate Units pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. Upon Cash Merger Early Settlement of Purchase Contracts by a Holder of the related Corporate Units, the Pledged Convertible Notes shall be released from the Pledge as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of Common Stock on account of each Purchase Contract forming part of a Corporate Unit as to which Cash Merger Early Settlement is effected equal to the applicable Settlement Rate.

The Holder further covenants and agrees that, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, but subject to the terms thereof, any payments with respect the Pledged Convertible Notes (other than interest payments thereon) on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date equal to the aggregate Purchase Price for the related Purchase Contracts shall be paid by the Collateral Agent to the Company in satisfaction of such Holder’s obligations under the related Purchase Contracts and such Holder shall acquire no right, title or interest in such payments.

Subject to certain exceptions, the provisions of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement may be amended with the consent of the Holders of a majority of the Purchase Contracts.

The Purchase Contracts shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the conflicts of law provisions thereof to the extent a different law would govern as a result.

The Purchase Contracts shall not, prior to the settlement thereof, entitle the Holder to any of the rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock.

Incorporated hereby accept appointment as Remarketing Agents, for the purpose of (i) remarketing the Remarketed Convertible Notes on behalf of the holders thereof, (ii) determining, in consultation with the Company, in the manner provided for herein and in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and the Supplemental Indenture No. 1, the Reset Rate for the Convertible Notes, and (iii) performing such other duties as are assigned to the Remarketing Agents in the Transaction Documents.

(b) Unless a Termination Event has occurred prior to such date, the Remarketing Agents shall use their reasonable efforts to remarket the Remarketed Convertible Notes at the Remarketing Price on May 10, 2010 and, unless a Successful Remarketing has occurred on such date, on May 11, 2010 (each, a

“Remarketing Date”). It is understood and agreed that the Remarketing on any Remarketing Date will be considered successful and no further attempts will be made if the resulting proceeds are at least equal to the Remarketing Price.

(c) In connection with each Remarketing, the Remarketing Agents shall determine, in consultation with the Company, an annual rate of interest on the Convertible Notes equal to 3-month LIBOR, reset quarterly on each LIBOR Reset Date beginning on the Remarketing Settlement Date, plus or minus a spread, rounded to the nearest one-thousandth (0.001) of one percent per annum, that the Convertible Notes should bear (the “Reset Rate”) in order for the Remarketed Convertible Notes to have an aggregate market value equal to at least the Remarketing Price and that in the sole reasonable discretion of the Remarketing Agents will enable them to remarket all of the Remarketed Convertible Notes at no less than the Remarketing Price in such Remarketing. The Reset Rate may be equal to or higher than 3-month LIBOR minus 3.500%, but may not be lower than 3-month LIBOR minus 3.500%. However, in no event shall the Reset Rate exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law or be less than 0%.

(d) If, by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Remarketing Date, (1) the Remarketing Agents are unable to remarket all of the Remarketed Convertible Notes, other than to the Company, at a price equal to or greater than the Remarketing Price pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof or (2) the Remarketing did not occur on such Remarketing Date because one of the conditions set forth in Section 6 hereof was not satisfied, a Failed Remarketing shall be deemed to have occurred, and the Remarketing Agents shall advise by telephone (promptly confirmed in writing) the Depositary, the Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Company. Whether or not there has been a Failed Remarketing will be determined in the sole reasonable discretion of the Remarketing Agents. In the event of a Failed Remarketing, the applicable interest rate on the Convertible Notes will not be reset, and will continue to be the Initial Interest Rate set forth in the Supplemental Indenture No. 1.

(e) In the event of a Successful Remarketing, by approximately 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Remarketing Date, the Remarketing Agents shall advise, by telephone (promptly confirmed in writing in the case of clause (1)):

	(1)	the Depositary, the Purchase Contract Agent, the Trustee and the Company of the Reset Rate determined by the Remarketing Agents in such Remarketing and the principal amount of Remarketed Convertible Notes sold in such Remarketing;

	(2)	each purchaser (or the Depositary Participant thereof) of Remarketed Convertible Notes of the Reset Rate and the principal

	amount of Remarketed Convertible Notes such purchaser is to purchase;

	(3)	each such purchaser (if other than a Depositary Participant) to give instructions to its Depositary Participant to pay the purchase price on the Remarketing Settlement Date in same day funds against delivery of the Remarketed Convertible Notes purchased through the facilities of the Depositary; and

	(4)	each such purchaser (or Depositary Participant thereof) that the Remarketed Convertible Notes will not be delivered until the Remarketing Settlement Date, and that if such purchaser wishes to trade the Remarketed Convertible Notes that it has purchased prior to the third Business Day preceding the Remarketing Settlement Date, such purchaser will have to specify an alternative settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent failed settlement.

(f) The proceeds from a Successful Remarketing (i) with respect to the Convertible Notes that are components of the Corporate Units shall be paid to the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and (ii) with respect to the Separate Convertible Notes, shall be paid to the Custodial Agent for payment to the holders of such Separate Convertible Notes in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement.

(g) The right of each holder of Remarketed Convertible Notes to have such Remarketed Convertible Notes remarketed and sold on any Remarketing Date shall be subject to the conditions that (i) a Termination Event has not occurred prior to such Remarketing Date, (ii) the Remarketing Agents are able to find a purchaser or purchasers for Remarketed Convertible Notes at the Remarketing Price based on the Reset Rate, and (iii) such purchaser or purchasers on the Remarketing Settlement Date of the Remarketed Convertible Notes deliver the purchase price therefor to the Remarketing Agents as and when required.

(h) It is understood and agreed that the Remarketing Agents shall not have any obligation whatsoever to purchase any Remarketed Convertible Notes, whether in the Remarketing or otherwise, and shall in no way be obligated to provide funds to make payment upon tender of Remarketed Convertible Notes for Remarketing or to otherwise expend or risk its own funds or incur or to be exposed to financial liability in the performance of its duties under this Agreement. Neither the Company nor the Remarketing Agents, nor any agent of the Company or the Remarketing Agents, shall be obligated in any case to provide funds to make payment upon tender of the Remarketed Convertible Notes for Remarketing.

SECTION 3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants (except as may be adapted as necessary to relate to the Remarketed Convertible Notes and to the Remarketing Materials, if any, or to any changed circumstances or events occurring subsequent to the date of this Agreement, such adaptations being reasonably acceptable to counsel to the Remarketing Agents), (i) on and as of the date any Remarketing Materials are first distributed in connection with any Remarketing (the “Commencement Date”), (ii) on and as of the applicable Remarketing Date and (iii) on and as of the Remarketing Settlement Date, that:

(a) Each of the representations and warranties of the Company as set forth in Sections 3(a) through 3(c), Sections 3(k) through 3(1), Sections 3(n) through 3(o), Section 3(p)(i), Section 3(q) and Sections 3(s) through 3(t)(i) of the Underwriting Agreement dated March 14, 2007 (the “Underwriting Agreement”) among the Company and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated, as Representatives of the Underwriters identified in Schedule II thereto, is true and correct as if made on each of the dates specified above; provided that for purposes of this Section 3(a), any reference in such sections of the Underwriting Agreement to (i) the “Registration Statement”, the “Prospectus”, the “Statutory Prospectus”, the “Disclosure Package” and the “Preliminary Prospectus” shall be deemed to refer to the correlative terms as defined herein, (ii) the “Closing Date” shall be deemed to refer to the Remarketing Settlement Date, (iii) the “Securities” shall be deemed to refer to the Remarketed Convertible Notes, and (iv) “this Underwriting Agreement” shall be ignored.

(b) The Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission; and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been initiated or threatened by the Commission.

(c) At the time of filing of the Registration Statement and as of the applicable Remarketing Date and the Remarketing Settlement Date, the Company was not and will not be an “ineligible issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act). The documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, on the date filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act, complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder or pursuant to said rules and regulations will be deemed to comply therewith; and none of such documents contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and any further documents so filed and incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or any further amendment or supplement thereto, when such documents are filed with the Commission, will

comply in all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act or pursuant to said rules and regulations will be deemed to comply therewith. As of the latest date any part of the Registration Statement became, or is deemed to have become, effective by the Commission under the Securities Act, the Registration Statement did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. At the time that any Preliminary Prospectus is delivered to the Remarketing Agents for its use in remarketing the Remarketed Convertible Notes, such Preliminary Prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. At the time the Prospectus is delivered to the Remarketing Agents for its use in making confirmations of sales of the Remarketed Convertible Notes and as of the Remarketing Settlement Date, the Prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and, on said dates and at such times, the documents then incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, when read together with the Prospectus, will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The foregoing representations and warranties in this paragraph (c) shall not apply to statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Remarketing Agents or on behalf of the Remarketing Agents specifically for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, or the Prospectus or to any statements in or omissions from the statement of eligibility of the Trustee on Form T-1 under the TIA filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement (the “Statement of Eligibility”).

(d) The Registration Statement as of the latest date any part of the Registration Statement became effective, or is deemed to have become effective by the Commission under the Securities Act, complied (and the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, if any, and any further amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, when they become effective or are filed with the Commission, as the case may be, will comply) in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act.

(e) No consent, approval, authorization, filing with or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the Remarketing or the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except such as may be or have been obtained under the Securities Act, the TIA and such as may be required under the blue sky laws of any jurisdiction in connection with the Remarketing.

(f) The Company is not required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(g) As of the applicable Remarketing Date, the Disclosure Package, and each electronic roadshow agreed to in writing by the Company and the Remarketing Agents, when taken together with the Disclosure Package, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from the Disclosure Package made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Remarketing Agents or on behalf of the Remarketing Agents specifically for use in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Package.

(h) Each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the final term sheet prepared and filed pursuant to Section 5(b) hereof does not include any information that conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the Statutory Prospectus, including any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein that has not been superseded or modified. If there occurs an event or development as a result of which the Disclosure Package would include an untrue statement of a material fact or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then prevailing, not misleading, the Company will notify promptly the Remarketing Agents so that any use of the Disclosure Package may cease until it is amended or supplemented. The foregoing two sentences do not apply to statements in or omissions from the Disclosure Package in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Remarketing Agents or on behalf of the Remarketing Agents specifically for use in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Package.

SECTION 4. Fees. In the event of a Successful Remarketing of the Remarketed Convertible Notes, the Company shall pay the Remarketing Agents a remarketing fee to be agreed upon in writing by the Company and each Remarketing Agent prior to any such Remarketing (the “Remarketing Fee”). Such Remarketing Fee shall be paid by the Company on the Remarketing Settlement Date in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by each Remarketing Agent.

SECTION 5. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees as follows:

(a) to prepare the Registration Statement, and the Prospectus, in a form approved by the Remarketing Agents, to file any such Prospectus pursuant to the

Securities Act within the period required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission prior to the second Business Day immediately preceding the first Remarketing Date;

(f) to advise the Remarketing Agents, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, of the suspension of the qualification of any of the Remarketed Convertible Notes for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the Commission for the amending or supplementing of the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or for additional information, and, in the event of the issuance of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or suspending any such qualification, to use promptly its best efforts to obtain its withdrawal;

(h) during such period of time as the Remarketing Agents are required by law to deliver a prospectus (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 under the Securities Act) after a Remarketing Date, if any event relating to or affecting the Company, or of which the Company shall be advised by either Remarketing Agent in writing, shall occur which in the Company’s opinion should be set forth in a supplement or amendment to the Prospectus or the Disclosure Package in order to make the Prospectus or the Disclosure Package not misleading in the light of the circumstances when it (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 under the Securities Act) is delivered to a purchaser of the Remarketed Convertible Notes, the Company will amend or supplement the Prospectus or the Disclosure Package by preparing and filing with the Commission and furnishing to the Remarketing Agents a reasonable number of copies of a supplement or supplements or an amendment or amendments to the Prospectus or the Disclosure Package, so that, as supplemented or amended, the Prospectus or the Disclosure Package will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Prospectus (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 under the Securities Act) or the Disclosure Package is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading. Unless such event relates solely to the activities of either Remarketing Agent (in which case such Remarketing Agent shall assume the expense of preparing any such amendment or supplement), the expenses of complying with this Section 5(h) shall be borne by the Company;

(i) the Company will not file any amendment to the Registration Statement or any supplement to the Prospectus or the Disclosure Package, in each case relating to the Remarketed Convertible Notes, without prior notice to the Remarketing Agents and to Xxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxx (“Counsel for the Remarketing Agents”), or any such amendment or supplement to which said Counsel shall reasonably object on legal grounds in writing;

(j) the Company will make generally available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earning statement (which need not be audited) covering a period of at least twelve months beginning after the “effective date of the registration statement” within the meaning of Rule 158 under the Securities Act, which earning statement shall be in such form, and be made generally available to security holders in such a manner, as to meet the requirements of the last

paragraph of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 under the Securities Act;

(k) to take such action as the Remarketing Agents may reasonably request in order to qualify the Remarketed Convertible Notes for offer and sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as the Remarketing Agents may reasonably request; provided that in no event shall the Company be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction;

(l) to pay: (1) the costs incident to the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto; (2) the qualification of the Securities under the blue sky laws of various jurisdictions in an amount not to exceed $3,500; (3) the printing and delivery to the Remarketing Agents of reasonable quantities of copies of the Registration Statement, the preliminary (and any supplemental) blue sky survey, any Preliminary Prospectus, each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, except as otherwise provided in paragraph (g) of this Section 5; (4) the costs of filings or other notices (if any) with or to, as the case may be, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

(n) the Company agrees that, unless it has obtained or will obtain, as the case may be, the prior written consent of each Remarketing Agent, and each Remarketing Agent agrees with the Company that, unless it has obtained or will obtain, as the case may be, the prior written consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Remarketed Convertible Notes that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433 under the Securities Act, other than the final term sheet prepared and filed pursuant to Section 5(b) hereto,

under the Securities Act; any such Free Writing Prospectus consented to by the Remarketing Agents or the Company is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company agrees that (x) it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and (y) it has complied and will comply, as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 under the Securities Act applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including, if applicable, in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping.

SECTION 7. Indemnification. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Remarketing Agent, the directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and agents of each Remarketing Agent and each person who controls any Remarketing Agent within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other U.S. federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or in the Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Statutory Prospectus, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the information contained in the final term sheet required to be prepared and filed pursuant to Section 5(b) hereto, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Remarketing Agent specifically for inclusion

therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have.

(b) Each Remarketing Agent severally, and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Remarketing Agent, but only with reference to written information relating to such Remarketing Agent furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Remarketing Agent specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that any Remarketing Agent may otherwise have. The Company acknowledges that the statements contained in the “Underwriting” section of any Preliminary Prospectus and the Statutory Prospectus (i) in the third sentence of the fifth paragraph of text, (ii) in the second sentence of the sixth paragraph of text and (iii) in the ninth, tenth and eleventh paragraphs of text of such section constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Remarketing Agents for inclusion in any Preliminary Prospectus the Statutory Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel (including local counsel) of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel, other than local counsel if not appointed by the indemnifying party, retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel (including local counsel) to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to

represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement or an admission of fault, culpability by failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 7 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Remarketing Agents severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company and one or more of the Remarketing Agents may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Remarketing Agents on the other in connection with the Remarketing of the Remarketed Convertible Notes; provided, however, that in no case shall any Remarketing Agent be responsible for any amount in excess of the amount by which the Remarketing Fee exceeds the amount of any damages that such Remarketing Agent has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Remarketing Agents severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Remarketing Agents on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information

provided by the Company on the one hand or the Remarketing Agents on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Remarketing Agents agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 7, each person who controls a Remarketing Agent within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee, Affiliate and agent of a Remarketing Agent shall have the same rights to contribution as such Remarketing Agent, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

SECTION 8. Resignation and Removal of the Remarketing Agents. Either of the Remarketing Agents may resign and be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder, and the Company may remove either of the Remarketing Agents, by giving 10 days’ prior written notice, in the case of a resignation, to the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent and, in the case of a removal, to the removed Remarketing Agent and the Purchase Contract Agent.

In any such case, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to appoint a successor Remarketing Agent and enter into a remarketing agreement (or an appropriate amendment to this Agreement) with such person as soon as reasonably practicable. The provisions of Section 7 shall survive the resignation or removal of any Remarketing Agent pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION 9. Dealing in Securities. A Remarketing Agent, when acting as a Remarketing Agent or in its individual or any other capacity, may, to the extent permitted by law, buy, sell, hold and deal in any of the Remarketed Convertible Notes, Corporate Units, Treasury Units or any of the securities of the Company (together, the “Securities”). A Remarketing Agent may exercise any vote or join in any action which any beneficial owner of such Securities may be entitled to exercise or take pursuant to the Indenture with like effect as if it did not act in any capacity hereunder. A Remarketing Agent, in its individual capacity, either as principal or agent, may also engage in or have an interest in any financial or other transaction with the Company as freely as if it did not act in any capacity hereunder.

SECTION 10. Remarketing Agents’ Performance; Duty of Care. The duties and obligations of the Remarketing Agents hereunder shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. No implied covenants or obligations of or against the Remarketing Agents shall be read into this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents. In the absence of bad faith on the part of a Remarketing Agent, a Remarketing Agent may conclusively rely upon any document furnished to it, as to the truth of the statements expressed in any of such documents. A Remarketing Agent shall be protected in acting upon any document or communication reasonably believed by it to have been signed, presented or made by the proper party or parties except as otherwise set forth herein. A Remarketing Agent shall have no obligation to determine whether there is any limitation under applicable law on the Reset Rate on the Convertible Notes or, if there is any such limitation, the maximum permissible Reset Rate on the Convertible Notes, and it shall rely solely upon written notice from the Company (which the Company agrees to provide prior to the third Business Day before the applicable Remarketing Date) as to whether or not there is any such limitation and, if so, the maximum permissible Reset Rate. A Remarketing Agent, acting under this Agreement, shall incur no liability to the Company or to any holder of Remarketed Convertible Notes in its individual capacity or as Remarketing Agent for any action or failure to act, on its part in connection with a Remarketing or otherwise, except if such liability is judicially determined to have resulted from its failure to comply with the material terms of this Agreement or bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part. The provisions of this Section 10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall survive the resignation or removal of any Remarketing Agent pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION 11. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. Any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) the indemnity and contribution agreements contained in Section 7 hereof, and the representations and warranties and other agreements of the Company and the Remarketing Agents contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of a Remarketing Agent or by or on behalf of the Company or its directors or officers, or any of the other persons referred to in Section 7 hereof and (ii) acceptance of and payment for the Remarketed Convertible Notes, and (b) the indemnity and contribution agreements contained in Section 7 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 12. Termination. This Agreement shall automatically terminate (i) as to a Remarketing Agent on the effective date of the resignation or removal of such Remarketing Agent pursuant to Section 8 hereof and (ii) on the earlier of (x) the occurrence of a Termination Event and (y) the Business Day immediately following the Remarketing Settlement Date. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to any of the other provisions hereof, except as otherwise

provided herein, the Company shall not be under any liability to either of the Remarketing Agents and the Remarketing Agents shall not be under any liability to the Company, except that if this Agreement is terminated by a Remarketing Agent with respect to such Remarketing Agent because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, the Company will reimburse such Remarketing Agent for all of its out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of its counsel) reasonably incurred by it. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, in the event there has been a Successful Remarketing, the obligations set forth in Section 4 hereof shall survive and remain in full force and effect until all amounts payable under said Section 4 shall have been paid in full. In addition, Sections 7 and 10 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Remarketing Agents.

SECTION 13. Miscellaneous. THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES TO THIS REMARKETING AGREEMENT SHALL, PURSUANT TO NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SECTION 5-1401, BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CHOICE OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT MIGHT CALL FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. EACH PARTY HERETO, AND EACH HOLDER OF A UNIT BY ACCEPTANCE THEREOF, HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the sole benefit of each of the Company, the Remarketing Agents, and the Purchase Contract Agent, except that with respect to the provisions of Section 7 hereof, such provisions shall also be deemed to be for the benefit of each director, officer and other persons referred to in Section 7 hereof, and their respective successors. Should any part of this Agreement for any reason be declared invalid, such declaration shall not affect the validity of any remaining portion, which remaining portion shall remain in full force and effect as if this Agreement had been executed with the invalid portion thereof eliminated. Nothing herein is intended or shall be construed to give to any other person, firm or corporation any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of any provision in this Agreement. The term “successor” as used in this Agreement shall not include any purchaser, as such purchaser, of any Securities from a Remarketing Agent.

SECTION 17. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or deemed to be or shall, in fact, be invalid, inoperative or unenforceable as applied in any particular case in any or all jurisdictions because it conflicts with any provisions of any constitution, statute, rule or public policy or for any other reason, then, to the extent permitted by law, such circumstances shall not have the effect of rendering the provision in question invalid, inoperative or unenforceable in any other case, circumstance or jurisdiction, or of rendering any other provision or provisions of this Agreement invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to any extent whatsoever.
