Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement, upon any application or request by the Company to the Purchase Contract Agent to take any action under any provision of this Agreement, the Company shall furnish to the Purchase Contract Agent an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement relating to the proposed action have been complied with and, if requested by the Purchase Contract Agent, an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that in the case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Agreement relating to such particular application or request, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.

- 10 -

Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Agreement (other than compliance certificates required by Section 11.4 to the extent permitted by the TIA) shall include:

(1) a statement that each individual signing such certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto;

(2) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

(3) a statement that, in the opinion of each such individual, he or she has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable such individual to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and

(4) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such individual, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

SECTION 1.3 Form of Documents Delivered to Purchase Contract Agent.

In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Company stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Agreement, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

SECTION 1.4 Acts of Holders; Record Dates.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor

- 11 -

signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Purchase Contract Agent and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and (subject to Section 7.1) conclusive in favor of the Purchase Contract Agent and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner which the Purchase Contract Agent deems sufficient.

(c) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the SPC Units Register or the Treasury SPC Units Register, as the case may be.

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Certificate evidencing such Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Purchase Contract Agent or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Certificate.

(e) The Company may set any date as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Agreement to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of the Outstanding SPC Units and the Outstanding Treasury SPC Units, as the case may be, on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action with respect to the SPC Units or the Treasury SPC Units, as the case may be, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken prior to or on the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite number of Outstanding Securities on such record date. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and be of no effect), and nothing contained in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite number of Outstanding Securities on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Purchase Contract Agent in writing and to each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in Section 1.6.

- 12 -

With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the Company may designate any date as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the Purchase Contract Agent in writing, and to each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in Section 1.6, prior to or on the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the Company shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date.

SECTION 1.5 Notices to Purchase Contract Agent, Company, Collateral Agent or Guarantor.

Any notice or communication is duly given if in writing and delivered in Person or mailed by first-class mail (registered or certified, return receipt requested), telecopier (with receipt confirmed) or overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery, to the others’ address; provided that notice shall be deemed given to the Purchase Contract Agent only upon receipt thereof:

SECTION 1.6 Notice to Holders; Waiver.

Where this Agreement provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at its address as it appears in the applicable Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. 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.

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Purchase Contract Agent shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

In any case where any Purchase Contract Settlement Date shall not be a Business Day, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the SPC Units Certificates or the Treasury SPC Units Certificates, the Purchase Contracts shall not be performed on such date, but the Purchase Contracts shall be performed on the immediately following Business Day with the same force and effect as if performed on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date.

The aggregate number of Securities evidenced by Certificates authenticated, executed on behalf of the Holders and delivered hereunder is limited to                      (including                      relating to the Underwriters’ over-allotment option), except for Certificates authenticated, executed and delivered upon registration of transfer of, in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Certificates pursuant to Section 3.4, 3.5, 3.10, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14, 5.9 or 8.5.

The Certificates shall be issuable only in registered form and only in denominations of a single SPC Unit or Treasury SPC Unit and any integral multiple thereof.

SECTION 3.2 Rights and Obligations Evidenced by the Certificates.

Each SPC Units Certificate shall evidence the number of SPC Units specified therein, with each such SPC Unit representing (1) the ownership by the Holder thereof of a beneficial interest in one [Preferred Security,] Note having a [liquidation] [principal] amount of [$25] [or the Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be,] subject to the Pledge of such [Preferred Security,] Note [or Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be] by such Holder pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, and (2) the rights and obligations of the Holder thereof and the Company under one Purchase Contract. The Purchase Contract Agent as attorney-in-fact for, and on behalf of, the Holder of each SPC Unit shall pledge, pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, the [Preferred Security,] Note [or Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be,] forming a part of such SPC Unit, to the Collateral Agent and grant to the Collateral Agent a security interest in the right, title and interest of such Holder in such [Preferred Security,] Note [or Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be] for the benefit of the Company, to secure the obligation of the Holder under each Purchase Contract to purchase shares of Common Stock. Prior to the purchase of shares of Common Stock under each Purchase Contract, such Purchase Contracts shall not entitle the Holder of a SPC Units Certificate to any of the rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock, including, without limitation, the right to vote or receive any dividends or other payments or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder in respect of the meetings of shareholders or for the election of directors of the Company or for any other matter, or any other rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company.

Upon the formation of a Treasury SPC Unit pursuant to Section 3.13, each Treasury SPC Units Certificate shall evidence the number of Treasury SPC Units specified therein, with each such Treasury SPC Unit representing (1) the ownership by the Holder thereof of a [1/40] undivided beneficial ownership interest in a Treasury Security with a principal amount at maturity equal to $1,000, subject to the Pledge of such Treasury Security by such Holder pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, and (2) the rights and obligations of the Holder thereof and the Company under one Purchase Contract. The Purchase Contract Agent as

- 18 -

attorney-in-fact for, and on behalf of, the Holder of each Treasury SPC Unit shall pledge, pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, each Treasury Security or portion thereof forming a part of such Treasury SPC Unit, to the Collateral Agent and grant to the Collateral Agent a security interest in the right, title and interest of such Holder in such Treasury Security for the benefit of the Company, to secure the obligation of the Holder under each Purchase Contract to purchase shares of Common Stock. Prior to the purchase of shares of Common Stock under each Purchase Contract, such Purchase Contracts shall not entitle the Holder of a Treasury SPC Units Certificate to any of the rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock, including, without limitation, the right to vote or receive any dividends or other payments or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder in respect of the meetings of shareholders or for the election of directors of the Company or for any other matter, or any other rights whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company.

SECTION 3.3 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.13 and 3.14 hereof, upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and at any time and from time to time thereafter, the Company may deliver Certificates executed by the Company to the Purchase Contract Agent for authentication, execution on behalf of the Holders and delivery, together with its Issuer Order for authentication of such Certificates, and the Purchase Contract Agent in accordance with such Issuer Order shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holders and deliver such Certificates.

The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Company by one of its Authorized Officers. The signature of any Authorized Officer on the Certificates may be manual or facsimile.

Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such 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 upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

- 19 -

SECTION 3.4 Temporary Certificates.

Pending the preparation of definitive Certificates, the Company shall 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 SPC Units or Treasury SPC 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 SPC Units or Treasury SPC Units, as the case may be, 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 SPC Units or Treasury SPC Units, as the case may be, evidenced thereby as definitive Certificates.

SECTION 3.5 Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

The Purchase Contract Agent shall keep at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the “SPC Units Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Purchase Contract Agent shall provide for the registration of SPC Units Certificates and of transfers of SPC Units Certificates (the Purchase Contract Agent, in such capacity, the “SPC Units Registrar”) and a register (the “Treasury SPC Units Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Purchase Contract Agent shall provide for the registration of the Treasury SPC Units Certificates and of transfers of Treasury SPC Units Certificates (the Purchase Contract Agent, in such capacity, the “Treasury SPC Units Registrar”).

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 SPC Units or Treasury SPC 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 SPC Units or Treasury SPC Units, as the case may be, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the Corporate

- 20 -

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 SPC Units or Treasury SPC Units, as the case may be, and be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same obligations, under this Agreement as the SPC Units or Treasury SPC 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 Sections 3.6 and 8.5 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 during the period commencing on the Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date and ending on such Purchase Contract Settlement Date, or on or after 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:

(1) if the Purchase Contract Settlement Date has occurred, deliver the shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of the Purchase Contracts forming a part of the Securities evidenced by such other Certificate; or

(2) if a Termination Event shall have occurred prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, transfer the [Preferred Securities,] Notes, Treasury Securities [or the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio,] as the case may be, evidenced thereby, in each case subject to the applicable conditions and in accordance with the applicable provisions of Article Five hereof.

SECTION 3.6 Book-Entry Interests.

The Certificates, on original issuance, will be issued in the form of one or more fully registered Global Certificates, to be delivered to the Depositary by, or on behalf of, the Company. Such Global Certificate shall initially be registered on the books and records of the

- 21 -

Company in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Depositary, DTC, and no Beneficial Owner will receive a definitive Certificate representing such Beneficial Owner’s interest in such Global Certificate, except as provided in Section 3.9. The Purchase Contract Agent shall enter into an agreement with the Depositary if so requested by the Company. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Certificates have been issued to Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section 3.9:

(1) the provisions of this Section 3.6 shall be in full force and effect;

(2) the Company shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary for all purposes of this Agreement (including making Purchase Contract Payments and receiving approvals, votes or consents hereunder) as the Holder of the Securities and the sole holder of the Global Certificates and shall have no obligation to the Beneficial Owners;

(3) to the extent that the provisions of this Section 3.6 conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 3.6 shall control; and

(4) the rights of the Beneficial Owners shall be exercised only through the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Beneficial Owners and the Depositary or the Depositary Participants.

SECTION 3.7 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 Securities 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 3.8 Appointment of Successor Depositary.

If the Depositary elects to discontinue its services as securities depositary with respect to the Securities, the Company may, in its sole discretion, appoint a successor Clearing Agency to act as Depositary with respect to the Securities.

SECTION 3.9 Definitive Certificates.

If the Depositary elects to discontinue its services as securities depositary with respect to the Securities or ceases to be a Clearing Agency and a successor Depositary is not appointed within 90 days after such discontinuance pursuant to Section 3.8 or such cessation, then upon surrender of the Global Certificates representing the Securities by the Depositary, accompanied by registration instructions, the Company shall cause definitive Certificates to be delivered to Beneficial Owners in accordance with the instructions of 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 protected in relying on, such instructions.

- 22 -

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 SPC Units or Treasury SPC 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 bona fide 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 SPC Units or Treasury SPC 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 during the period commencing on the Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date and ending on such Purchase Contract Settlement Date or on or after 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:

(1) if the Purchase Contract Settlement Date has occurred, deliver the shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of the Purchase Contracts forming a part of the Securities evidenced by such Certificate; or

(2) if a Termination Event shall have occurred prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, transfer [the Preferred Securities,] the Notes, the Treasury Securities [or the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio,] as the case may be, evidenced thereby, in each case subject to the applicable conditions and in accordance with the applicable provisions of Article Five 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 expenses (including 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 Security evidenced thereby, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate (and the Securities evidenced thereby) shall be at any time enforceable by

- 23 -

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 SPC Units or Treasury SPC Units evidenced thereby, for the purpose of receiving [distributions, and] interest payments on the [Preferred Securities,] Notes, [Treasury Securities or on the maturing quarterly interest strips of the Treasury Portfolio, as applicable,] receiving Purchase Contract Payments, performance of the Purchase Contracts and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any [distributions, and] interest payments on the [Preferred Securities,] Notes[, Treasury Securities or on the maturing quarterly interest strips of the Treasury Portfolio, as applicable] or Purchase Contract Payments payable in respect of the Purchase Contracts constituting a part of the SPC Units or Treasury SPC Units evidenced thereby 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, treating the Depositary as the sole Holder of such Global Certificate, 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 the Depositary and owners of beneficial interests in such Global Certificate, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of rights of the Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such Global Certificate.

SECTION 3.12 Cancellation.

All Certificates surrendered for delivery of shares of Common Stock on or after the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, upon the transfer of [Preferred Securities,] Notes[, the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio] or Treasury Securities, as the case may be, after the occurrence of a Termination Event or pursuant to an Early Settlement, or upon the registration of transfer or exchange of a Security, or a Collateral Substitution or the reestablishment of SPC Units shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Purchase Contract Agent, be delivered to the Purchase Contract Agent 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 which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Certificates so delivered shall, upon 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

- 24 -

cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement. All cancelled Certificates held by the Purchase Contract Agent shall be disposed by the Purchase Contract Agent in accordance with its customary procedures unless otherwise directed by Issuer Order.

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 SPC Units by Substitution of Treasury Securities.

A Holder may separate the [Preferred Securities or] Notes[, as applicable,] from the related Purchase Contracts in respect of such Holder’s SPC Units by substituting for such [Preferred Securities or] Notes, [as applicable,] Treasury Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate [liquidation preference or] principal amount of such [Preferred Securities or] Notes[, as applicable,] (a “Collateral Substitution”), at any time from and after the date of this Agreement and prior to or on the seventh Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date by:

(1) depositing with the [Securities Intermediary, Collateral Agent] Treasury Securities having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate [liquidation preference or] principal amount of the [Preferred Securities or] Notes [, as the case may be] comprising part of such SPC Units; and

(2) transferring the related SPC Units to the Purchase Contract Agent accompanied by a notice to the Purchase Contract Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, (i) stating that the Holder has transferred the relevant amount of Treasury Securities to the Securities Intermediary and (ii) requesting that the Purchase Contract Agent instruct the Collateral Agent to release the [Preferred Securities or] Notes[, as applicable,] underlying such SPC Units, whereupon the Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly give such instruction to the Collateral Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit A to the Pledge Agreement. [Insert any provisions for adjustment relating to Purchase Contract Payments.]

Upon receipt of the Treasury Securities described in clause (1) above and the instruction described in clause (2) above, in accordance with the terms of the Pledge Agreement, the Collateral Agent will cause the Securities Intermediary to effect the release of such [Preferred Securities or] Notes[, as the case may be,] from the Pledge, free and clear of the Company’s security interest therein, and the transfer of such [Preferred Securities or] Notes[, as the case may be,] to the Purchase Contract Agent on behalf of the Holder. Upon receipt thereof, the Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly:

(i) cancel the related SPC Units transferred and surrendered;

(ii) transfer the [Preferred Securities or] Notes[, as the case may be,] that had been components of such SPC Unit to the Holder; and

- 25 -

(iii) authenticate, execute on behalf of such Holder and deliver a Treasury SPC Units Certificate executed by the Company in accordance with Section 3.3 evidencing the same number of Purchase Contracts as were evidenced by the cancelled SPC Units.

Holders who elect to separate the [Preferred Securities or] Notes[, as the case may be] from the related Purchase Contracts and to substitute Treasury Securities for such [Preferred Securities or] Notes[, as the case may be,] shall be responsible for any fees or expenses payable to the Collateral Agent for its services as Collateral Agent in respect of the substitution, and the Company shall not be responsible for any such fees or expenses.

Holders may make Collateral Substitutions only in integral multiples of 40 SPC Units. [If a Tax Event Redemption has occurred, Holders may not convert their SPC Units to Treasury SPC Units.]

In the event a Holder making a Collateral Substitution pursuant to this Section 3.13 fails to effect a book-entry transfer of the SPC Units or fails to deliver SPC Units Certificates to the Purchase Contract Agent after depositing Treasury Securities with the Collateral Agent, the [Preferred Securities or] Notes, [as the case may be,] constituting a part of such SPC Units, and any [distributions or] interest payments on such [Preferred Securities or] Notes, [as the case may be,] shall be held in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent or its nominee in trust for the benefit of such Holder, until such SPC Units are so transferred or the SPC Units Certificate is so delivered, as the case may be, or, with respect to a SPC Units Certificate, such Holder provides evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent that such SPC Units Certificate has been destroyed, lost or stolen, together with any indemnity that may be required by the Purchase Contract Agent and the Company.

Except as described in this Section 3.13, for so long as the Purchase Contract underlying a SPC Unit remains in effect, such SPC Unit shall not be separable into its constituent parts, and the rights and obligations of the Holder in respect of the [Preferred Security or] Note[, as the case may be,] and the Purchase Contract comprising such SPC Unit may be acquired, and may be transferred and exchanged, only as a SPC Unit.

SECTION 3.14 Reestablishment of SPC Units.

Subject to the conditions set forth herein, a Holder of Treasury SPC Units may recreate SPC Units at any time prior to or on the seventh Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date by:

(1) depositing with the [Securities Intermediary, Collateral Agent] [Preferred Securities or] Notes, [as the case may be,] having an aggregate [liquidation preference (in the case of Preferred Securities) or aggregate] principal amount [in the case of Notes] equal to the aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Treasury Securities comprising part of the Treasury SPC Units; and

(2) transferring the related Treasury SPC Units to the Purchase Contract Agent accompanied by a notice to the Purchase Contract Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, (i) stating that the Holder has transferred the relevant amount of

- 26 -

[Preferred Securities or] Notes[, as the case may be,] to the Securities Intermediary and (ii) requesting that the Purchase Contract Agent instruct the Collateral Agent to release the Treasury Securities underlying such Treasury SPC Units, whereupon the Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly give such instruction to the Collateral Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the Pledge Agreement.

Upon receipt of the [Preferred Securities or] Notes[, as the case may be,] described in clause (1) above and the instruction described in clause (2) above, in accordance with the terms of the Pledge Agreement, the Collateral Agent will cause the Securities Intermediary to effect the release of the Treasury Securities having a corresponding aggregate principal amount at maturity from the Pledge, free and clear of the Company’s security interest therein, and the transfer to the Purchase Contract Agent on behalf of the Holder. Upon receipt thereof, the Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly:

(i) cancel the related Treasury SPC Units transferred and surrendered;

(ii) transfer the Treasury Securities that had been components of such Treasury SPC Units to the Holder; and

(iii) authenticate, execute on behalf of such Holder and deliver a SPC Units Certificate executed by the Company in accordance with Section 3.3 evidencing the same number of Purchase Contracts as were evidenced by the cancelled Treasury SPC Units.

Holders who elect to recreate SPC Units shall be responsible for any fees or expenses payable to the Collateral Agent for its services as Collateral Agent in respect of the substitution, and the Company shall not be responsible for any such fees or expenses.

Holders of Treasury SPC Units may only recreate SPC Units in integral multiples of 40 Treasury SPC Units for 40 SPC Units. [If a Tax Event Redemption has occurred, Holders may no longer convert their Treasury SPC Units into SPC Units.]

Except as provided in this Section 3.14, for so long as the Purchase Contract underlying a Treasury SPC Unit remains in effect, such Treasury SPC Unit shall not be separable into its constituent parts and the rights and obligations of the Holder of such Treasury SPC Unit in respect of the 1/40 of a Treasury Security and the Purchase Contract comprising such Treasury SPC Unit may be acquired, and may be transferred and exchanged, only as a Treasury SPC Unit.

SECTION 3.15 Transfer of Collateral upon Occurrence of Termination Event.

Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event and the transfer to the Purchase Contract Agent of the [Preferred Securities,] Notes[, appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio,] or the Treasury Securities, as the case may be, underlying the SPC Units and the Treasury SPC Units, as the case may be, pursuant to the terms of the Pledge Agreement, the Purchase Contract Agent shall request transfer instructions with respect to such [Preferred Securities,] Notes[, appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio] or Treasury Securities, as the case may be, from each Holder by written request,

- 27 -

substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, mailed to such Holder at its address as it appears in the SPC Units Register or the Treasury SPC Units Register, as the case may be.

Upon book-entry transfer of the SPC Units or the Treasury SPC Units or delivery of a SPC Units Certificate or Treasury SPC Units Certificate to the Purchase Contract Agent with such transfer instructions, the Purchase Contract Agent shall transfer the [Preferred Securities,] Notes[, appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio] or Treasury Securities, as the case may be, underlying such SPC Units or Treasury SPC Units, as the case may be, to such Holder by book-entry transfer, or other appropriate procedures, in accordance with such instructions. In the event a Holder of SPC Units or Treasury SPC Units fails to effect such transfer or delivery, the [Preferred Securities,] Notes[, appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio] or Treasury Securities, as the case may be, underlying such SPC Units or Treasury SPC Units, as the case may be, 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:

(1) the transfer of such SPC Units or Treasury SPC Units or the surrender of the SPC Units Certificate or Treasury SPC Units Certificate or receipt by the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent of satisfactory evidence that such SPC Units Certificate or Treasury SPC 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

(2) the expiration of the time period specified in the abandoned property laws of the [relevant State].

SECTION 3.16 No Consent to Assumption.

Each Holder of a Security, by acceptance thereof, shall be deemed expressly to have 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 the debtor under the Bankruptcy Code or subject to other similar state or Federal law providing for reorganization or liquidation.

ARTICLE IV

The [Preferred Securities,] Notes [and Applicable

Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio]

SECTION 4.1 [Interest] Payments; Rights to [Interest] Payments Preserved.

Any [distribution or] interest payment on any [Preferred Security or any,] Note [or on the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be,] which is paid on any Payment Date shall, subject to receipt thereof by the Purchase Contract Agent from the Collateral Agent as provided by the terms of the Pledge Agreement, be paid to the Person in whose name the SPC Units Certificate (or one or more Predecessor SPC Units Certificates) of which such [Preferred Security,] Note [or Applicable Ownership Interest in the

- 28 -

Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be,] is a part is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Payment Date.

Each SPC Units Certificate evidencing the [Preferred Securities,] Notes [or the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio] delivered under this Agreement upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other SPC Units Certificate shall carry the right to accrued and unpaid and deferred [distributions and] interest and the right to accrue [distributions and] interest, which rights were carried by the [Preferred Securities,] Notes [or the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio] underlying such other SPC Units Certificate.

In the case of any SPC Units with respect to which Cash Settlement of the underlying Purchase Contract is properly effected pursuant to Section 5.4 hereof, or with respect to which Early Settlement of the underlying Purchase Contract is properly effected on an Early Settlement Date pursuant to Section 5.9 hereof, or with respect to which a Collateral Substitution is properly effected, in each case on a date that is after any Record Date and prior to or on the next succeeding Payment Date, the [distribution or] interest payment on the [Preferred Securities,] Notes [or the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio] underlying such SPC Units otherwise payable on such Payment Date shall be payable on such Payment Date notwithstanding such Cash Settlement or Early Settlement or Collateral Substitution, and such [distribution or] interest payment shall, subject to receipt thereof by the Purchase Contract Agent, be payable to the Person in whose name the SPC Units Certificate (or one or more Predecessor SPC Units Certificates) was registered at the close of business on the Record Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the immediately preceding sentence, in the case of any SPC Unit with respect to which Cash Settlement or Early Settlement of the underlying Purchase Contract is properly effected, or with respect to which a Collateral Substitution has been properly effected, [distributions or] interest payments on the related [Preferred Securities,] Notes [or the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio], as the case may be, that would otherwise be payable after the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or Early Settlement Date or date of Collateral Substitution, as the case may be, shall not be payable hereunder to the Holder of such SPC Units; provided, however, that to the extent that such Holder continues to hold the separated [Preferred Securities,] Notes [or the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio] that formerly comprised a part of such Holder’s SPC Units, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the [distribution or] interest payments on such separated [Preferred Securities or] Notes, as provided therein.

SECTION 4.2 [Deferral of Interest Payments.

So long as no event of default has occurred and is occurring under the Indenture, the Note Issuer and the Company shall have the right at any time until the Stated Maturity of the Notes to defer the payment of interest on the Notes as provided therein for a period of time not extending beyond the Stated Maturity (each such period of deferral, an “Extension Period”). If the Note Issuer and the Company so elect to defer interest payments on the Notes, the Note Issuer or the Company shall be required to pay at the end of the Extension Period all interest then accrued and unpaid, together with accrued interest at the Coupon Rate or the Reset Rate, as applicable, compounded on each succeeding Payment Date.]

- 29 -

SECTION 4.3 [Interest Rate Reset; Notice Relating to Cash Settlement.

The Coupon Rate on the Notes to be in effect on and after the Purchase Contract Settlement Date shall be reset on the third Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date to the Reset Rate (such Reset Rate to be in effect on and after the Purchase Contract Settlement Date). [The Reset Rate shall be equal to or greater than the Coupon Rate.]

Not later than 15 calendar days nor more than 30 calendar days prior to the third Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date [Remarketing Date], the Company shall request (or shall cause the Note Issuer to request) that the Depositary notify the Beneficial Owners or Depositary Participants holding SPC Units of [the interest rate reset and] any procedures to be followed by Holders of SPC Units who intend to effect a Cash Settlement [prior to or on the fifth Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date].

SECTION 4.4 Notice and Voting.

Under and subject to the terms of the Pledge Agreement, the Purchase Contract Agent will be entitled to exercise the voting and any other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged [Preferred Securities or] Notes, but only to the extent instructed by the Holders as described below. Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which holders of [Preferred Securities or] Notes are entitled to vote or upon any solicitation of consents, waivers or proxies of holders of [Preferred Securities or] Notes, the Purchase Contract Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, mail to the Holders of SPC Units a notice:

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

(2) 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 for determining the holders of [Preferred Securities or] Notes[, as the case may be,] entitled to vote or consent) shall be entitled to instruct the Purchase Contract Agent as to the exercise of the voting or consensual rights pertaining to such [Preferred Securities or] Notes underlying their SPC Units; and

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

Upon the written request of the Holders of SPC Units on such record date, the Purchase Contract Agent shall endeavor insofar as practicable to vote or consent or cause to be voted or consented, in accordance with the instructions set forth in such requests, the maximum number of [Preferred Securities or] Notes[, as the case may be,] as to which any particular voting or consent instructions are received. In the absence of specific instructions from the Holder of a SPC Unit, the Purchase Contract Agent shall abstain from voting or consenting the [Preferred Securities or] Notes underlying such SPC Unit. The Company hereby agrees, if applicable, to solicit Holders of SPC Units to timely instruct the Purchase Contract Agent in order to enable the Purchase Contract Agent to vote or consent such [Preferred Securities or] Notes [and the Trust shall covenant to this effect in the Trust Agreement.]

- 30 -

SECTION 4.5 [Distribution of Notes; Tax Event Redemption.

Upon the dissolution and liquidation of the Trust in accordance with the Trust Agreement, a principal amount at maturity of Notes constituting the assets of the Trust and underlying the Preferred Securities equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Pledged Preferred Securities shall be delivered to the Securities Intermediary in exchange for the Pledged Preferred Securities. Thereafter, the Notes will be substituted for the Pledged Preferred Securities as the Collateral, and will be held by the Securities Intermediary in the Collateral Account in accordance with the terms of the Pledge Agreement to secure the obligations of each Holder of a SPC Unit to purchase the Common Stock of the Company under the Purchase Contracts constituting a part of such SPC Unit. Following the dissolution and liquidation of the Trust, the Holders and the Collateral Agent shall have such security interests, rights and obligations with respect to the Notes as the Holders and the Collateral Agent had in respect of the Preferred Securities subject to the Pledge thereof as provided in the Pledge Agreement. The Company may cause to be made in any SPC Unit Certificates thereafter to be issued such change in phraseology and form (but not in substance) as may be appropriate to reflect the dissolution and liquidation of the Trust and the substitution of Notes for Preferred Securities as Collateral.

Upon the occurrence of a Tax Event Redemption prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Redemption Price payable on the Tax Event Redemption Date with respect to the Applicable Principal Amount shall be deposited in the Collateral Account in exchange for the Pledged Preferred Securities or the Pledged Notes. Thereafter, pursuant to the terms of the Pledge Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall cause the Securities Intermediary to apply an amount equal to the Redemption Amount of such Redemption Price to purchase on behalf of the Holders of SPC Units the Treasury Portfolio and promptly remit the remaining portion of such Redemption Price to the Purchase Contract Agent for payment to the Holders of such SPC Units. The Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio will be substituted as Collateral for the Pledged Preferred Securities or the Pledged Notes, as the case may be, and will be held by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of the Pledge Agreement to secure the obligation of each Holder of a SPC Unit to purchase the Common Stock of the Company under the Purchase Contract constituting a part of such SPC Unit. Following the occurrence of a Tax Event Redemption prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Holders of SPC Units and the Collateral Agent shall have such security interest rights and obligations with respect to the Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio as the Holders of SPC Units and the Collateral Agent had in respect of the Preferred Securities or Notes, as the case may be, subject to the Pledge thereof as provided in the Pledge Agreement, and any reference herein to the Preferred Securities or the Notes shall be deemed to be reference to such Treasury Portfolio. The Company may cause to be made in any SPC Unit Certificates thereafter to be issued such change in phraseology and form (but not in substance) as may be appropriate to reflect the liquidation of the Trust and the substitution of the Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio for Preferred Securities or Notes as Collateral.]

ARTICLE V

The Purchase Contracts

SECTION 5.1 Purchase of Shares of Common Stock.

Each Purchase Contract shall, unless a Termination Event or an Early Settlement in accordance with Section 5.9 hereof has occurred with respect to the Security of which such Purchase Contract is a part, obligate the Holder of the related Security 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 shares of Common Stock equal to the Settlement Rate. The “Settlement Rate” is equal to:

(1) if the Applicable Market Value (as defined below) equals or exceeds $                     (the “Threshold Appreciation Price”),                     shares of Common Stock per Purchase Contract;

(2) if the Applicable Market Value is less than the Threshold Appreciation Price but greater than $                     (the “Reference Price”), the number of shares of Common Stock having a value, based on the Applicable Market Value, equal to the Stated Amount; and

(3) if the Applicable Market Value is less than or equal to the Reference Price,                      shares of Common Stock per Purchase Contract,

in each case subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5.6 (and in each case rounded upward or downward to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share).

As provided in Section 5.10, no fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon settlement of Purchase Contracts.

The “Applicable Market Value” means the average of the Closing Price per share of Common Stock on each of the 20 consecutive Trading Days ending on the third Trading Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or Early Settlement Date, as the case may be.

The “Closing Price” per share of Common Stock on any date of determination means:

(1) the closing sale price as of the 4:15 p.m. close of trading (or, if no closing price is reported, the last reported sale price) per share on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the “NYSE”) on such date;

(2) if Common Stock is not listed for trading on the NYSE on any such date, the closing sale price per share as reported in the composite transactions for the principal United States securities exchange on which Common Stock is so listed;

- 32 -

(3) if Common Stock is not so listed on a United States national or regional securities exchange, the closing sale price per share as reported by The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.;

(4) if Common Stock is not so reported, the last quoted bid price for Common Stock in the over-the-counter market as reported by the National Quotation Bureau or similar organization; or

(5) if such bid price is not available, the average of the mid-point of the last bid and ask prices of Common Stock on such date from at least three nationally recognized independent investment banking firms retained for this purpose by the Company.

A “Trading Day” means a day on which Common Stock (1) is not suspended from trading on any national or regional securities exchange or association or over-the-counter market at the close of business and (2) has traded at least once on the national or regional securities exchange or association or over-the-counter market that is the primary market for the trading of Common Stock.

Each Holder of a SPC Unit or a Treasury SPC Unit, by its acceptance thereof:

(1) irrevocably authorizes the Purchase Contract Agent to enter into and perform the related Purchase Contract on its behalf as its attorney-in- fact (including the execution of Certificates on behalf of such Holder);

(2) agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions thereof;

(3) covenants and agrees to perform its obligations under such Purchase Contracts;

(4) consents to the provisions hereof;

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

(6) consents to, and agrees to be bound by, the Pledge of the [Preferred Securities,] Notes [Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio] or the Treasury Securities pursuant to the Pledge Agreement.

Each Holder of a SPC Unit or a Treasury SPC Unit, by its acceptance thereof, further covenants and agrees, that to the extent and in the manner provided in Section 5.4 and the Pledge Agreement, but subject to the terms thereof, payments in respect of the [Preferred Securities or the] Notes or the proceeds from the Treasury Securities [or the Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio] at maturity on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, as the case may be, shall be paid by the Collateral Agent

- 33 -

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 payments.

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, the Purchase Contracts underlying such Certificate, [the Trust Agreement] and the Pledge Agreement and the transferor shall be released from the obligations under this Agreement, the Purchase Contracts underlying the Certificate so transferred and the Pledge Agreement. 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 5.2 [Purchase Contract Payments.

Subject to Section 5.3, the Company shall pay, on each Payment Date, the Purchase Contract Payments payable in respect of each Purchase Contract to the Person in whose name a Certificate (or one or more Predecessor Certificates) is registered at the close of business on the Record Date next preceding such Payment Date. The Purchase Contract Payments will be payable at the office of the Purchase Contract Agent in The City of New York maintained for that purpose or, at the option of the Company, by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto at such Person’s address as it appears on the SPC Units Register or Treasury SPC Units Register. If any date on which Purchase Contract Payments are to be made is not a Business Day, then payment of the Purchase Contract Payments payable on such date will be made on the next day that is a Business Day (and without any interest in respect of any such delay), [except that, if such Business Day is in the next calendar year, such payment will be made on the preceding Business Day].

Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Company’s obligation to pay Purchase Contract Payments (including any accrued or deferred Purchase Contract Payments) shall cease.

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 reestablishment of SPC Units) any other Certificate shall carry the right to accrued and unpaid or deferred Purchase Contract Payments and the right to accrue Purchase Contract Payments, which rights were carried by the Purchase Contracts underlying such other Certificates.

Subject to Section 5.9, in the case of any Security with respect to which Early Settlement of the underlying Purchase Contract is effected on an Early Settlement Date that is after any Record Date and prior to or on the next succeeding Payment Date, Purchase Contract Payments otherwise payable on such Payment Date shall be payable on such Payment Date notwithstanding such Early Settlement, and such Purchase Contract Payments shall be paid to the Person in whose name the Certificate evidencing such Security (or one or more Predecessor Certificates) is registered at the close of business on such Record Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the immediately preceding sentence, in the case of any Security with respect to which Early Settlement of the underlying Purchase Contract is effected on an Early

- 34 -

Settlement Date, Purchase Contract Payments that would otherwise be payable after the Early Settlement Date with respect to such Purchase Contract shall not be payable.]

[Insert, if applicable: Provisions relating to ranking of Purchase Contract Payments.]

SECTION 5.3 [Deferral of Purchase Contract Payments.

The Company has the right to defer payment of all or part of the Purchase Contract Payments in respect of each Purchase Contract until no later than the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, but only if the Company shall give the Holders and the Purchase Contract Agent written notice of its election to defer such payment (specifying the amount to be deferred) at least ten Business Days prior to the earlier of (i) the next succeeding Payment Date or (ii) the date the Company is required to give notice of the Record Date or Payment Date with respect to payment of such Purchase Contract Payments to the NYSE or other applicable self-regulatory organization or to Holders of the Securities, but in any event not less than one Business Day prior to such Record Date. If the Company so elects to defer Purchase Contract Payments, the Company shall pay additional Purchase Contract Payments on such deferred installments of Purchase Contract Payments at a rate equal to             % per annum, compounding quarterly, until such deferred installments are paid in full (such deferred installments of Purchase Contract Payments together with the accrued additional Purchase Contract Payments thereon, being referred to herein as the “Deferred Purchase Contract Payments”). Deferred Purchase Contract Payments shall be due on the Payment Date except to the extent that payment is deferred pursuant to this Section. No Purchase Contract Payments may be deferred to a date that is after the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. If the Purchase Contracts are terminated upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Holder’s right to receive Purchase Contract Payments and Deferred Purchase Contract Payments will terminate.

In the event that the Company elects to defer the payment of Purchase Contract Payments on the Purchase Contracts until the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, each Holder will receive on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, in lieu of a cash payment, a number of shares of Common Stock (in addition to a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the applicable Settlement Rate) equal to (x) the aggregate amount of Deferred Purchase Contract Payments payable to such Holder divided by (y) the Applicable Market Value.

No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued by the Company with respect to the payment of Deferred Purchase Contract Payments on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. In lieu of fractional shares otherwise issuable with respect to such payment of Deferred Purchase Contract Payments, the Holder will be entitled to receive an amount in cash as provided in Section 5.10.

In the event the Company exercises its option to defer the payment of Purchase Contract Payments, then, until the Deferred Purchase Contract Payments have been paid, the Company shall not declare or pay dividends on, make distributions with respect to, or redeem, purchase or acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of its capital stock or make guarantee payments with respect to the foregoing (other than (i) purchases or acquisitions of capital stock of the Company in connection with the satisfaction by the Company of its

- 35 -

obligations under any employee or agent benefit plans or the satisfaction by the Company of its obligations pursuant to any contract or security outstanding on the date of such event requiring the Company to purchase its capital stock, (ii) as a result of a reclassification of the Company’s capital stock or the exchange or conversion of one class or series of the Company’s capital stock for another class or series of the Company’s capital stock, (iii) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Company’s capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of the Company’s capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged, (iv) dividends or distributions in capital stock of the Company (or rights to acquire capital stock) or repurchases or redemptions of capital stock solely from the issuance or exchange of capital stock or (v) redemptions or repurchases of any rights outstanding under a shareholder rights plan).

If a Holder effects an Early Settlement or if a Termination Event shall occur, such Holder will have no right to receive any accrued deferred Purchase Contract Payments.]

SECTION 5.4 Payment of Purchase Price.

(a) (i) Unless [a Tax Event Redemption has occurred or] a Holder of a SPC Unit effects an Early Settlement of the underlying Purchase Contract in the manner described in Section 5.9, each Holder who intends to pay in cash to satisfy such Holder’s obligations under the Purchase Contract 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 (“Cash Settlement”) the Purchase Price for the shares of 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 seventh Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. Prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the next succeeding Business Day, the Purchase Contract Agent shall notify the Collateral Agent and the Indenture Trustee of the receipt of such notices from Holders intending to make a Cash Settlement.

(ii) A Holder of a SPC Unit who has so notified the Purchase Contract Agent of his intention to effect a Cash Settlement in accordance with paragraph (a)(i) above shall pay the Purchase Price to the Securities Intermediary for deposit in the Collateral Account prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the [fifth] Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date in lawful money of the United States by certified or cashiers’ check or wire transfer, in each case in immediately available funds payable to or upon the order of the [Securities Intermediary]. Any cash received by the Collateral Agent shall be invested promptly by the Securities Intermediary in Permitted Investments and paid to the Company on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date in settlement of the Purchase Contract in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Pledge Agreement. Any funds received by the Securities Intermediary in respect of the investment earnings from such Permitted Investments in excess of the Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock to be purchased by such Holder, shall be distributed to the Purchase Contract Agent when received for payment to the Holder of the related SPC Unit.

(iii) If a Holder of a SPC Unit fails to notify the Purchase Contract Agent of his intention to make a Cash Settlement in accordance with paragraph (a)(i)

above, or does notify the Purchase Contract Agent as provided in paragraph (a)(i) above of his intention to pay the Purchase Price in cash, but fails to make such payment as required by paragraph (a)(ii) above, such failure shall constitute a default under the related Purchase Contract, and the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Company, will exercise its rights as a secured party with respect to the Notes, including those rights to dispose of [Preferred Securities] [Notes], as described in paragraph (b) below and such defaulting Holder shall be deemed to have consented to any such disposition.

(iv) Promptly after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the [fifth] Business Day preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Purchase Contract Agent, based on notices received by the Purchase Contract Agent pursuant to Section 5.4(a) hereof and notice from the Securities Intermediary regarding cash received by it prior to such time, shall notify the Collateral Agent and the [Property] [Indenture] Trustee of the aggregate number of [Preferred Securities or] Notes to be tendered for purchase in the Remarketing in a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto.

(b) In order to dispose of the [Preferred Securities or] Notes relating to, SPC Units the Holders of which have not notified the Purchase Contract Agent of their intention to effect a Cash Settlement as provided in paragraph (a)(i) above, or who have so notified the Purchase Contract Agent but failed to make such payment as required by paragraph (a)(ii) above, the Company shall engage                      (the “Remarketing Agent”) pursuant to the Remarketing Agreement to sell such [Preferred Securities or] Notes. In order to facilitate the Remarketing, the Purchase Contract Agent, based on the notices specified in Section 5.4(a)(iv), shall notify the Remarketing Agent, promptly after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the [fifth] Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, of the aggregate number of [Preferred Securities or] Notes that are part of SPC Units to be remarketed. Concurrently, the Collateral Agent, pursuant to the terms of the Pledge Agreement, shall cause such [Preferred Securities or] Notes to be presented to the Remarketing Agent for Remarketing.

Upon receipt of such notice from the Purchase Contract Agent and such [Preferred Securities or] Notes, the Remarketing Agent shall, on the third Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, use reasonable efforts to remarket such [Preferred Securities or] Notes on such date at a price equal to at least [100.25%] of the Stated Amount [($25.0625)] per [Preferred Security or Note], as provided in the Remarketing Agreement. The proceeds from the Remarketing shall be invested by the Collateral Agent in Permitted Investments, in accordance with the Pledge Agreement, and then applied by the Collateral Agent, in accordance with the Pledge Agreement, to satisfy in full such SPC Units Holders’ obligations to pay the Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock under the related Purchase Contracts on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. In addition, $[.0625] per [Preferred Security or] Note of the proceeds shall be automatically remitted to the Remarketing Agent for services rendered in connection with the Remarketing (the “Remarketing Fee”). Any proceeds remaining after satisfaction of the Purchase Contract and payment of the Remarketing Fee shall be payable to the Holder of such SPC Unit.

- 37 -

If, in spite of using its reasonable efforts, the Remarketing Agent cannot remarket the related Preferred Securities or Notes of such Holders of SPC Units at a price equal to 100.25% of the Stated Amount ($25.0625), then the Remarketing Agent shall increase the distribution rate on the Preferred Securities or the interest rate on the Notes, as the case may be, so that the market value of such Preferred Securities will equal $25.0625. If the Remarketing Agent determines that it will be able to remarket the related Preferred Securities or Notes of such Holders of SPC Units at a price in excess of 100.25% of the Stated Amount ($25.0625), then the Remarketing Agent shall decrease the distribution rate on the Preferred Securities or the interest rate on the Notes, as the case may be, so that the market value of such Preferred Securities or Notes will be equal to $25.0625. If in spite of using reasonable efforts, the Remarketing Agent cannot Remarket the [Preferred Securities or] the Notes[, as the case may be,] after such increase or decrease, the Remarketing shall be deemed to have failed (a “Failed Remarketing”), [an event of default shall be deemed to have occurred under this Agreement and the Pledge Agreement] and in accordance with the terms of the Pledge Agreement, the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Company, shall exercise its rights as a secured party with respect to such Preferred Securities or Notes, including those actions specified in paragraph (c) below; provided, that if upon a Failed Remarketing the Collateral Agent exercises such rights for the benefit of the Company with respect to such Preferred Securities or Notes, any accrued and unpaid distributions or interest on such Preferred Securities or Notes shall become payable by the Company to the Purchase Contract Agent for payment to the Beneficial Owner of the SPC Units to which such Preferred Securities or Notes relate. The Company shall cause a notice of such Failed Remarketing to be published on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date in a daily newspaper in the English language of general circulation in the City of New York, which is expected to be The Wall Street Journal, and on Bloomberg News.

(c) With respect to any [Preferred Securities or] Notes which are subject to a Failed Remarketing, the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Company reserves all of its rights as a secured party with respect thereto and, subject to applicable law and paragraph (g) below, may, among other things, (i) retain the [Preferred Securities or] Notes in full satisfaction of the Holders’ obligations under the Purchase Contracts or (ii) sell the [Preferred Securities or] Notes in one or more public or private sales.

(d) (i) Unless a Holder of a Treasury SPC Units, [or, if a Tax Event Redemption has occurred, SPC Units,] effects an Early Settlement of the underlying Purchase Contract through the early delivery of cash to the Purchase Contract Agent in the manner described in Section 5.9, each such Holder who intends to pay in cash 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 the Purchase Price for the shares of 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 [seventh] Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. Prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the next succeeding Business Day, the Purchase Contract Agent shall notify the Collateral Agent of the receipt of such notices from such Holders intending to

- 38 -

make a Cash Settlement. Treasury SPC Unit Holders may make Cash Settlements only in integral multiples of 40 Treasury SPC Units.

(ii) A Holder of a Treasury SPC Unit, [or, if a Tax Event Redemption has occurred, SPC Units,] who has so notified the Purchase Contract Agent of his intention to make a Cash Settlement in accordance with paragraph (d)(i) above shall pay the Purchase Price to the Securities Intermediary for deposit in the Collateral Account prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the [fifth] Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date in lawful money of the United States by certified or cashiers’ check or wire transfer, in each case in immediately available funds payable to or upon the order of the [Securities Intermediary]. Any cash received by the Collateral Agent shall be invested promptly by the Securities Intermediary in Permitted Investments and paid to the Company on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date in settlement of the Purchase Contract in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Pledge Agreement. Any funds received by the Securities Intermediary in respect of the investment earnings from the investment in such Permitted Investments [in excess of the Purchase Price for shares of common stock to be purchased by such Holder] shall be distributed to the Purchase Contract Agent when received for payment to the Holder of the related Treasury SPC Unit.

(iii) If a Holder of a Treasury SPC Unit, [or, if a Tax Event Redemption has occurred, SPC Units,] fails to notify the Purchase Contract Agent of his intention to make a Cash Settlement in accordance with paragraph (d)(i) above, or does notify the Purchase Contract Agent as provided in paragraph (d)(i) above of his intention to pay the Purchase Price in cash, but fails to make such payment as required by paragraph (d)(ii) above, then such failure shall constitute a default under the related Purchase Contract, and upon the maturity of the Pledged Treasury Securities, or the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio, held by the Securities Intermediary on the Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the principal amount of the Treasury Securities, or the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio, received by the Collateral Agent shall be invested promptly in Permitted Investments.

On the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, an amount equal to the Purchase Price shall be remitted to the Company as payment thereof without receiving any instructions from the Holder of the related Treasury SPC Unit or SPC Unit. In the event the sum of the proceeds from the related Pledged Treasury Securities, [or the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio,] and the investment earnings earned from such investments is in excess of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchase Contracts being settled thereby, the Collateral Agent shall cause the Securities Intermediary to distribute such excess to the Purchase Contract Agent for the benefit of the Holder of the related Treasury SPC Unit or SPC Units when received.

(iv) A holder of a [Preferred Security or] Note that is no longer part of a SPC Unit may elect to have [such Preferred Security or] Note, [as the case may be,]

- 39 -

remarketed. A Holder making such an election must notify the [Property] Indenture Trustee prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, of the aggregate number of [Preferred Securities or] Notes[, as the case may be,] that are not part of SPC Units to be remarketed. Any such notice will be irrevocable and may not be conditioned upon the level at which the Reset Rate is established in the Remarketing. Concurrently, the [Property] Indenture Trustee shall cause such [Preferred Securities or] Notes to be presented to the Remarketing Agent for Remarketing.

(e) Any distribution to Holders of excess funds [and interest] described above shall be payable at the office of the Purchase Contract Agent in New York City maintained for that purpose or, at the option of the Holder, by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto at such address as it appears on the Register.

(f) Upon Cash Settlement of any Purchase Contract:

(1) the Collateral Agent will in accordance with the terms of the Pledge Agreement cause the [Pledged Preferred Security,] Pledged Note[, appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio,] or Pledged Treasury Securities, as the case may be, underlying the relevant Security to be released from the Pledge, free and clear of any security interest of the Company, and transferred to the Purchase Contract Agent for delivery to the Holder thereof or its designee as soon as practicable; and

(2) subject to the receipt thereof, the Purchase Contract Agent shall, by book-entry transfer or other appropriate procedures, in accordance with written instructions provided by the Holder thereof, transfer such [Preferred Security,] Note[, appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio,] or Treasury Securities, as the case may be (or, if no such instructions are given to the Purchase Contract Agent by the Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent shall hold such [Preferred Security,] Note[, appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio,] or Treasury Securities, as the case may be, 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 abandoned property laws of the relevant State).

(g) The obligations of the Holders to pay the Purchase Price are non- recourse obligations and, except to the extent satisfied by Early Settlement or Cash Settlement, 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.

(h) 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 SPC Unit or Treasury SPC Unit unless the Company shall have received payment

- 40 -

in full for the aggregate purchase price for the Common Stock to be purchased thereunder in the manner herein set forth.

SECTION 5.5 Issuance of Shares of Common Stock.

Unless a Termination Event or an Early Settlement shall have occurred, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, upon its receipt of payment in full of the applicable Purchase Price for shares of Common Stock purchased by Holders pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article and subject to Section 5.6(b), the Company shall issue and deposit with the Purchase Contract Agent, for the benefit of the Holders of the Outstanding Securities, one or more certificates representing the 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 both 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.

Subject to the foregoing, upon surrender of a Certificate to the Purchase Contract Agent on or after the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, together with settlement instructions thereon duly completed and executed, the Holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing that number of whole shares of Common Stock which such Holder is entitled to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article Five (after taking into account all Securities then held by such Holder), together with cash in lieu of fractional shares as provided in Section 5.10 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 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 to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate evidencing such Purchase Contract is registered, no such registration shall be made unless the Person requesting such registration has paid any transfer and other 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 5.6 Adjustment of Settlement Rate.

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

(1) In case the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on Common Stock in Common Stock, the Settlement Rate, as in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be increased by dividing such Settlement Rate by a fraction of which:

(i) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination; and

- 41 -

(ii) the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution,

such increase to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. For the purposes of this paragraph (1), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include any shares issuable in respect of any scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company shall not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.

(2) In case the Company shall issue rights, warrants or options to all holders of its Common Stock that are not available on an equivalent basis to Holders of the Securities upon settlement of the Purchase Contracts underlying such Securities entitling such holders of the Common Stock, for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, warrants or options, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, warrants or options (other than pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan), the Settlement Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination shall be increased by dividing such Settlement Rate by a fraction of which:

(i) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such Current Market Price; and

(ii) the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase,

such increase to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. For the purposes of this paragraph (2), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include any shares issuable in respect of any scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company shall not issue any such rights, warrants or options in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.

(3) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or split into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Settlement Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or split becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Settlement Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day

- 42 -

following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, such increase or reduction, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision, split or combination becomes effective.

(4) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights, warrants or options referred to in paragraph (2) of this Section 5.6(a), any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash and any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (1) of this Section 5.6(a)), the Settlement Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by dividing the Settlement Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which:

(i) the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock; and

(ii) the denominator shall be such Current Market Price per share of Common Stock,

such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. In any case in which this paragraph (4) is applicable, paragraph (2) of this Section 5.6(a) shall not be applicable. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Settlement Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Settlement Rate which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(5) In case the Company shall, (I) by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed in a Reorganization Event to which Section 5.6(b) applies or as part of a distribution referred to in paragraph (4) of this Section 5.6(a)) in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (II) the aggregate amount of any other distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (5) or paragraph (6) of this Section 5.6(a) has been made and (III) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of consideration payable in respect of any tender or exchange offer by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of the distribution described in clause (I) above and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (5) or paragraph (6) of this Section 5.6(a) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the date for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on

- 43 -

such date, then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date for determination, the Settlement Rate, shall be increased so that the same shall equal the rate determined by dividing the Settlement Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the combined amount distributed or payable in the transactions described in clauses (I), (II) and (III) above and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date for determination and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such date for determination.

(6) In case a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of Common Stock shall expire and such tender or exchange offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to shareholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of Purchased Shares) of (I) an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) that combined together with the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), as of the expiration of such tender or exchange offer, of consideration payable in respect of any other tender or exchange offer, by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of Common Stock expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender or exchange offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (5) of this Section 5.6(a) or this paragraph (6) has been made, and (II) the aggregate amount of any distributions to all holders of the Company’s Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender or exchange offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (5) of this Section 5.6(a) or this paragraph (6) has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock as of the last time (the “Expiration Time”) tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended) times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, then, and in each such case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the Expiration Time, the Settlement Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by dividing the Settlement Rate immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the Expiration Time by a fraction:

(i) the numerator of which shall be equal to (A) the product of (I) the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date of the Expiration Time and (II) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time less (B) the amount of cash plus the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to shareholders based on the transactions described in clauses (I) and (II) above (assuming in the case of clause (I) the acceptance, up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer, of Purchased Shares); and

- 44 -

(ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the product of (A) the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock as of the Expiration Time and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) as of the Expiration Time less the number of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the “Purchased Shares”).

(7) The reclassification of Common Stock into securities including securities other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon a Reorganization Event to which Section 5.6(b) applies) shall be deemed to involve:

(i) a distribution of such securities other than Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be “the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution” and the “date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of paragraph (4) of this Section); and

(ii) a subdivision, split or combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be “the day upon which such subdivision or split becomes effective” or “the day upon which such combination becomes effective”, as the case may be, and “the day upon which such subdivision, split or combination becomes effective” within the meaning of paragraph (3) of this Section).

(8) The “Current Market Price” per share of Common Stock on any day means the average of the daily Closing Prices for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 30 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the day in question and the day before the “ex date” with respect to the issuance or distribution requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “ex date”, when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, shall mean the first date on which Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market without the right to receive such issuance or distribution.

(9) All adjustments to the Settlement Rate shall be calculated to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share of Common Stock (or if there is not a nearest 1/10,000th of a share, to the next lower 1/10,000th of a share). No adjustment in the Settlement Rate shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent thereof; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subparagraph are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. If an adjustment is made to the Settlement Rate pursuant to paragraph (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7) or (10) of this Section 5.6(a), an adjustment shall also be made to the Applicable Market Value solely to determine which of clauses (1), (2) or (3) of the definition of Settlement Rate in Section 5.1 will apply on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. Such adjustment shall be made by multiplying the Applicable Market Value by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Settlement

- 45 -

Rate immediately after such adjustment pursuant to paragraph (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7) or (10) of this Section 5.6(a) and the denominator shall be the Settlement Rate immediately prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that if such adjustment to the Settlement Rate is required to be made pursuant to the occurrence of any of the events contemplated by paragraph (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7) or (10) of this Section 5.6(a) during the period taken into consideration for determining the Applicable Market Value, appropriate and customary adjustments shall be made to the Settlement Rate.

(10) The Company may, but shall not be required to, make such increases in the Settlement Rate, in addition to those required by this Section, as it considers to be advisable in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to any holders of shares of Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock or issuance of rights or warrants to purchase or subscribe for stock or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes or for any other reason.

(b) Adjustment for Consolidation, Merger or Other Reorganization Event.

(1) In the event of:

(i) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the continuing corporation and in which the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger or consolidation are not exchanged for cash, securities or other property of the Company or another corporation);

(ii) any sale, transfer, lease or conveyance to another Person of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety;

(iii) any statutory share exchange of the Company with another Person (other than in connection with a merger or acquisition);

(iv) any liquidation, dissolution or termination of the Company other than as a result of or after the occurrence of a Termination Event (any such event, a “Reorganization Event”),

the Settlement Rate will be adjusted to provide that each Holder of Securities will receive on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date with respect to each Purchase Contract forming a part thereof, the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Reorganization Event (without any interest thereon, and without any right to dividends or distribution thereon which have a record date that is prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date) by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on account of each Purchase Contract if the Purchase Contract Settlement Date had occurred immediately prior to such Reorganization Event, assuming such Holder 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

- 46 -

treatment of Common Stock held by Affiliates of the Company and non-affiliates and such Holder failed to exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Reorganization Event (provided that if the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Reorganization Event is not the same for each share of Common Stock held immediately prior to such Reorganization Event by other than a Constituent Person or an Affiliate thereof and in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised (“non-electing share”), then for the purpose of this Section the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Reorganization Event by each non- electing share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the non-electing shares).

In the event of such a Reorganization Event, the Person formed by such consolidation, merger or exchange or the Person which acquires the assets of the Company or, in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or termination of the Company, the Company or a liquidating trust created in connection therewith, shall execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent an agreement supplemental hereto providing that each Holder of an Outstanding Security shall have the rights provided by this Section 5.6(b). 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. The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Reorganization Events.

[(2) In the event of a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person, any merger of another Person into the Company (other than a merger that does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock) in which 30% or more of the total consideration paid to the Company’s shareholders consists of cash or cash equivalents, then a Holder of a Security may settle his Purchase Contract for cash as described in Section 5.4(a)(i) or 5.4(d)(i) hereof, as applicable, during the one week period beginning on the twenty-third Trading Day following the closing date of such merger (the “Early Settlement Week”), at the applicable Settlement Rate. For the purposes of this Section, the twenty-third Trading Day after the closing of the merger or consolidation shall be deemed to be the Purchase Contract Settlement Date for the purpose of determining the Applicable Market Value and the deadline for submitting the notice to settle early and the related cash payment shall be 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) of the last Business Day of the Early Settlement Week.]

All calculations and determinations pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall be made by the Company or its agent and the Purchase Contract Agent shall have no responsibility with respect thereto.

SECTION 5.7 Notice of Adjustments and Certain Other Events.

(a) Whenever the Settlement Rate is calculated or adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall:

(1) forthwith compute the Settlement Rate adjusted as necessary in accordance with Section 5.6 in accordance with Section 5.6 and prepare and transmit to the Purchase Contract Agent an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the Settlement Rate, the method of calculation thereof in reasonable detail, and the facts requiring such adjustment and upon which such adjustment is based; and

- 47 -

(2) within 10 Business Days following the occurrence of an event that requires an adjustment to the Settlement Rate pursuant to Section 5.6 (or if the Company is not aware of such occurrence, as soon as practicable after becoming so aware), provide a written notice to the Holders of the Securities of the occurrence of such event and a statement in reasonable detail setting forth the method by which the adjustment to the Settlement Rate was determined and setting forth the adjusted Settlement Rate.

(b) The Purchase Contract Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Securities to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Settlement Rate or the Applicable Market Value, 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 or with respect to any matters, adjustments or calculations contained in any supplemental agreement entered into in accordance with Section 5.6(b). 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.

SECTION 5.9 Early Settlement.

(a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.9, at the option of the Holder thereof, Purchase Contracts underlying Securities may be settled early (“Early Settlement”) on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the seventh Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, as provided herein. Holders of Treasury SPC Units may only settle the related Purchase Contracts in integral multiples of 40 Purchase Contracts. In order to exercise the right to effect Early Settlement with respect to any Purchase Contracts, the Holder of the Certificate evidencing Securities shall deliver such Certificates 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:

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

[(2) 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 sum of (x) the Purchase Contract Payments payable on such Payment Date with respect to such Purchase Contracts plus (y) in the case of a SPC Units Certificate, the [distributions or] interest on the related [Preferred Securities or] Notes payable on such Payment Date.]

Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence and subject to the second to last paragraph of Section 5.2, no payment shall be made upon Early Settlement of any Purchase Contract on account of any Purchase Contract 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 Securities prior to or at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, such day shall be the “Early Settlement Date” with respect to such Securities 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 Securities shall be the next succeeding Business Day.

(b) Upon Early Settlement of Purchase Contracts by a Holder of the related Securities, the Company shall issue, and the Holder shall be entitled to receive, [                    ] shares of Common Stock on account of each Purchase Contract as to which Early Settlement is effected (the “Early Settlement Rate”). The Early Settlement Rate shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the Settlement Rate is adjusted.

- 49 -

(c) No later than the third Business Day after the applicable Early Settlement Date, the Company shall cause:

(1) 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 5.10; and

(2) the related [Preferred Securities,] Notes [or the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio], in the case of SPC Units, or the related Treasury Securities, in the case of Treasury SPC Units, to be released from the Pledge by the Collateral Agent and transferred, in each case, to the Purchase Contract Agent for delivery to the Holder thereof or its designee.

(d) Upon Early Settlement of any Purchase Contracts, and subject to receipt of shares of Common Stock from the Company and the [Preferred Securities,] Notes [or the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio] 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 Securities:

(1) transfer to the Holder the [Preferred Securities,] Notes [or the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio] or Treasury Securities, as the case may be, forming a part of such Securities; and

(2) 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 5.10.

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

(f) A Holder of a Security who effects Early Settlement may elect to have the [Preferred Security or] Note, [as the case may be,] no longer a part of a SPC Unit or Treasury SPC Unit. as the case my be, remarketed. A Holder making such an election must notify the [Property] Indenture Trustee prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, of the aggregate number of [Preferred Securities or] Notes that are not part of SPC Units or Treasury SPC Units, as the case may be, to be remarketed. Any such notice will be irrevocable and may not be conditioned upon the level at which the Reset Rate is established in the Remarketing. Concurrently, the [Property] Indenture Trustee shall cause such Notes to be presented to the Remarketing Agent for Remarketing.

- 50 -

SECTION 5.10 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 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, the Company, through the Purchase Contract Agent, shall make a cash payment in respect of such fractional interest in an amount equal to the product of the total fractional share interest times the Applicable Market Value per share, determined as provided in Section 5.1. 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 5.10 in a timely manner.

- 51 -

SECTION 5.11 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 Security 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 Securities 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.

SPC UNITS

This SPC Units Certificate certifies that                              is the registered Holder of the number of SPC Units set forth above. Each SPC Unit consists of (i) [either (a)] the beneficial ownership by the Holder of one [Preferred Security (the “Preferred Security”) of PPL Capital Funding Trust II, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”), having a stated liquidation amount of $25] [Note (the “Note”) of PPL Capital Funding, Inc., a Delaware corporation guaranteed by PPL Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”), having a principal amount of $25], subject to the Pledge of such [Preferred Security] [Note] by such Holder pursuant to the Pledge Agreement or (b) upon the occurrence of a Tax Event Redemption prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest (as

A-1

specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio by such Holder pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, and (ii) the rights and obligations of the Holder and the Company under one Purchase Contract with the Company. All capitalized terms used herein which are defined in the Purchase Contract Agreement (as defined below) have the meaning set forth therein.

Pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, the [Preferred Security or the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be,] [Note] constituting part of each SPC Unit evidenced hereby has been pledged to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Company, to secure the obligations of the Holder under the Purchase Contract comprising part of such SPC Unit.

Payments of [distributions] [interest] on any [Preferred Security] [Note] forming part of a SPC Unit evidenced hereby, shall, subject to receipt thereof by the Purchase Contract Agent from the Securities Intermediary, be paid to the Person in whose name this SPC Units Certificate (or a Predecessor SPC Units Certificate) is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Payment Date. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears on February 16, May 16, August 16 and November 16 of each year, commencing                      (each, a “Payment Date”). Payments of [distributions] [interest] on the [Preferred Security] [Note] forming a part of the SPC Unit evidenced hereby may be deferred at the option of the Company and the [Trust] [Note Issuer], under the circumstances described in such [Preferred Security] [Note].

Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby obligates the Holder of this SPC Units Certificate to purchase, and the Company to sell, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, at a price equal to [$25] (the “Stated Amount”), a number of shares of PPL Corporation Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”), equal to the Settlement Rate, unless on or prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date there shall have occurred a Termination Event or an Early Settlement with respect to the SPC Unit of which such Purchase Contract is a part, all as provided in the Purchase Contract Agreement and more fully described on the reverse hereof. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby, if not paid earlier, shall be paid on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date by cash or by application of payment received in respect of the [liquidation] [principal] amount with respect to each Pledged [Preferred Security] [Note] pursuant to the Remarketing [or the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be,] pledged to secure the obligations under such Purchase Contract of the Holder of the SPC Unit of which such Purchase Contract is a part.

The Company shall pay, on each Payment Date, in respect of each Purchase Contract forming part of a SPC Unit evidenced hereby, an amount (the “Purchase Contract Payments”) equal to             % per annum of the Stated Amount. Such Purchase Contract Payments shall be payable to the Person in whose name this SPC Units Certificate (or a Predecessor SPC Units Certificate) is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Payment Date. The Company may, at its option, defer Purchase Contract Payments.

A-2

[Distributions on the Preferred Securities and the Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (B) of the definition of such term),] [Interest payments on the Notes] and [Purchase Contract Payments] will be payable at the office of the Purchase Contract Agent in New York City or, at the option of the Company, by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address appears on the SPC Units Register.

Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby is governed by a Purchase Contract Agreement, dated as of                      (as may be supplemented from time to time, the “Purchase Contract Agreement”), between the Company and                     , as Purchase Contract Agent (including its successors hereunder, the “Purchase Contract Agent”), to which Purchase Contract 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 Company, and the Holders and of the terms upon which the SPC Units Certificates are, and are to be, executed and delivered.

Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby obligates the Holder of this SPC Units Certificate 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 shares of Common Stock equal to the Settlement Rate, unless, prior to or on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, there shall have occurred a Termination Event with respect to the Security of which such Purchase Contract is a part or an Early Settlement shall have occurred. The “Settlement Rate” is equal to:

(1) if the Applicable Market Value (as defined below) equals or exceeds $. (the “Threshold Appreciation Price”),              shares of Common Stock per Purchase Contract;

(2) if the Applicable Market Value is less than the Threshold Appreciation Price but greater than $              (the “Reference Price”), the number of shares of Common Stock per Purchase Contract having a value, based on the Applicable Market Value, equal to the Stated Amount; and

(3) if the Applicable Market Amount is less than or equal to the Reference Price,              shares of Common Stock per Purchase Contract,

in each case subject to adjustment as provided in the Purchase Contract Agreement (and in each case rounded upward or downward to the nearest 1/10,000^th of a share).

No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon settlement of Purchase Contracts, as provided in Section 5.10 of the Purchase Contract Agreement.

Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby, which is settled either through Early Settlement or on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, shall obligate the Holder of the related SPC Unit to purchase at the Purchase Price in cash, and the Company to sell, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Early Settlement Rate or the Settlement Rate, as applicable.

The “Applicable Market Value” means the average of the Closing Price per share of Common Stock on each of the 20 consecutive Trading Days ending on the third Trading Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date.

A-3

The “Closing Price” per share of Common Stock on any date of determination means:

(1) the closing sale price at the 4:15 p.m. close of trading (or, if no closing price is reported, the last reported sale price) per share on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the “NYSE”) on such date;

(2) if Common Stock is not listed for trading on the NYSE on any such date, the closing sale price per share as reported in the composite transactions for the principal United States securities exchange on which Common Stock is so listed;

(3) if Common Stock is not so listed on a United States national or regional securities exchange, the closing sale price per share as reported by The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.;

(4) if Common Stock is not so reported, the last quoted bid price for Common Stock in the over-the-counter market as reported by the National Quotation Bureau or similar organization; or

(5) if such bid price is not available, the average of the mid-point of the last bid and ask prices of Common Stock on such date from at least three nationally recognized independent investment banking firms retained for this purpose by the Company.

A “Trading Day” means a day on which Common Stock (1) is not suspended from trading on any national or regional securities exchange or association or over-the-counter market at the close of business and (2) has traded at least once on the national or regional securities exchange or association or over-the-counter market that is the primary market for the trading of Common Stock.

In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Contract Agreement, the Holder of this SPC Units Certificate may pay the Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby by effecting a Cash Settlement or an Early Settlement [or from the proceeds of the Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio] or a Remarketing of the related Pledged [Preferred Securities] [Notes]. A Holder of SPC Units who does not effect, on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date [(or in the event a Tax Event Redemption has occurred, the Business Day prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date)], an effective Cash Settlement or, who does not effect on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the seventh Business Day prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, 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 related Pledged [Preferred Securities] [Notes] held by the Collateral Agent. Such sale will be made by the Remarketing Agent pursuant to the terms of the Remarketing Agreement on the third Business Day prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. If, as provided in the Purchase Contract Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Failed Remarketing, the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Company, exercises its rights as

A-4

a secured creditor with respect to the Pledged [Preferred Securities] [Notes] related to this SPC Units certificate, any accrued and unpaid or deferred [distributions] [interest] payments on such Pledged [Preferred Securities] [Notes] will become payable by [the Company] to the holder of this SPC Units Certificate in the manner provided for in the Purchase Contract Agreement.

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 herein set forth.

Under the terms of the Pledge Agreement, the Purchase Contract Agent will be entitled to exercise the voting and any other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged [Preferred Securities] [Notes]. Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which holders of [Preferred Securities] [Notes] are entitled to vote or upon the solicitation of consents, waivers or proxies of holders of [Preferred Securities] [Notes], the Purchase Contract Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, mail to the SPC Units Holders a notice:

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

(2) stating that each SPC Unit 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 for determining the holders of [Preferred Securities] [Notes] entitled to vote or consent) shall be entitled to instruct the Purchase Contract Agent as to the exercise of the voting or consensual rights pertaining to the [Preferred Securities] [Notes] constituting a part of such Holder’s SPC Unit; and

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

Upon the written request of the SPC Unit Holders on such record date, the Purchase Contract Agent shall endeavor insofar as practicable to vote or consent or cause to be voted or consented, in accordance with the instructions set forth in such requests, the maximum number of [Preferred Securities] [Notes] as to which any particular voting or consent instructions are received. In the absence of specific instructions from the Holder of a SPC Unit, the Purchase Contract Agent shall abstain from voting or consenting the [Preferred Securities] [Notes] evidenced by such SPC Unit.

[Upon the dissolution and liquidation of the Trust, a principal amount of the Notes constituting the assets of the Trust and underlying the Preferred Securities equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Pledged Preferred Securities shall be delivered to the Securities Intermediary in exchange for the Pledged Preferred Securities. Thereafter, the Notes shall be held by the Securities Intermediary to secure the obligations of each Holder of SPC Units to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Purchase Contracts constituting a part of such SPC Units. Following the dissolution and liquidation of the Trust, the Holders and the Collateral Agent shall have such security interests, rights and obligations with respect to the Notes as the Holders and the Collateral Agent had in respect of the Pledged Preferred Securities, any reference herein to the Preferred Securities shall be deemed to be a reference to the Notes and

A-5

any reference herein to the liquidation amount of the Preferred Securities shall be deemed to be a reference to the principal amount of the Notes.]

[Upon the occurrence of a Tax Event Redemption prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Redemption Price payable on the Tax Event Redemption Date with respect to the Applicable Principal Amount of Notes shall be delivered to the Securities Intermediary in exchange for the Pledged Preferred Securities. Thereafter, pursuant to the terms of the Pledge Agreement, the Securities Intermediary will apply an amount equal to the Redemption Amount of such Redemption Price to purchase on behalf of the Holders of SPC Units, the Treasury Portfolio and promptly (a) transfer the Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio to the Collateral Account to secure the obligations of each Holder of SPC Units to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Purchase Contracts constituting a part of such SPC Units, (b) transfer the Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (B) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio to the Purchase Contract Agent for the benefit of the Holders of such SPC Units and (C) remit the remaining portion of such Redemption Price to the Purchase Contract Agent for payment to the Holders of such SPC Units.]

[Following the occurrence of a Tax Event Redemption prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Holders of SPC Units and the Collateral Agent shall have such security interest rights and obligations with respect to the Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio as the Holder of SPC Units and the Collateral Agent had in respect of the Preferred Securities or Notes, as the case may be, subject to the Pledge thereof as provided in the Pledge Agreement and any reference herein to the Preferred Securities shall be deemed to be a reference to such Treasury Portfolio.]

The SPC Certificates are issuable only in registered form and only in denominations of a single SPC Unit and any integral multiple thereof. The transfer of any SPC Units Certificate will be registered and SPC Units Certificates may be exchanged as provided in the Purchase Contract Agreement. The SPC Units Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents permitted by the Purchase Contract Agreement. No service charge shall be required for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. A holder who elects to substitute a Treasury Security for [Preferred Securities] [Notes], thereby creating Treasury SPC Units, shall be responsible for any fees or expenses payable in connection therewith. Except as provided in the Purchase Contract Agreement, for so long as the Purchase Contract underlying a SPC Unit remains in effect, such SPC Unit shall not be separable into its constituent parts, and the rights and obligations of the Holder of such SPC Unit in respect of the [Preferred Security] [Note] and Purchase Contract constituting such SPC Unit may be transferred and exchanged only as a SPC Unit.

The Holder of SPC Units may substitute for the Pledged [Preferred Securities] [Notes] securing such Holder’s obligations under the related Purchase Contracts Treasury Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate [liquidation] [principal] amount of the Pledged [Preferred Securities] [Notes] in accordance with the terms of the

A-6

Purchase Contract Agreement and the Pledge Agreement. From and after such Collateral Substitution, each Security for which such Pledged Treasury Securities secures the Holder’s obligation under the Purchase Contract shall be referred to as a “Treasury SPC Unit”. A Holder may make such Collateral Substitution only in integral multiples of 40 SPC Units for 40 Treasury SPC Units. [Such Collateral Substitution may cause the equivalent aggregate principal amount of this Certificate to be increased or decreased; provided, however, this SPC Units Certificate shall not represent more than [x,000,000] SPC Units. All such adjustments to the equivalent aggregate principal amount of this SPC Units Certificate shall be duly recorded by placing an appropriate notation on the Schedule attached hereto.]

A Holder of Treasury SPC Units may recreate SPC Units by delivering to the Securities Intermediary [Preferred Securities] [Notes] with an aggregate [liquidation] [principal] amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Pledged Treasury Securities in exchange for the release of such Pledged Treasury Securities in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Contract Agreement and the Pledge Agreement. A Holder may recreate SPC Units in integral multiples of 40 Treasury SPC Units for 40 SPC Units.

[If a Tax Event Redemption has occurred, a SPC Unit Holder may not create Treasury SPC Units, and a Treasury SPC Unit Holder may not recreate a SPC Unit.]

[The Company shall pay, on each Payment Date, the Purchase Contract Payments payable in respect of each Purchase Contract to the Person in whose name the SPC Units Certificate evidencing such Purchase Contract is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Payment Date. Purchase Contract Payments will be payable at the office of the Purchase Contract Agent in New York City or, at the option of the Company, by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto at such address as it appears on the SPC Units Register.

The Company has the right to defer payment of all or part of the Purchase Contract Payments in respect of each Purchase Contract until no later than the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. If the Company so elects to defer Purchase Contract Payments, the Company shall pay additional Purchase Contract Payments on such deferred installments of Purchase Contract Payments at a rate equal to             % per annum, compounding quarterly, until such deferred installments are paid. If a Holder effects an Early Settlement or if a Termination Event shall occur, such Holder will have no right to receive any accrued and unpaid or deferred Purchase Contract Payments.]

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 Purchase Contract Payments, shall immediately and automatically terminate, without the necessity of any notice or action by any Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent or the Company, if, on or prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, a Termination Event shall have occurred. 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 SPC Units Register. Upon and after the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Collateral Agent shall release the [Pledged Preferred Security or the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury

A-7

Portfolio] [Notes] forming a part of each SPC Unit from the Pledge in accordance with the provisions of the Pledge Agreement. A SPC Unit shall thereafter represent the right to receive the [Pledged Preferred Security or the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio] [Note] forming a part of such SPC Unit in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Contract Agreement and the Pledge Agreement.

Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of the Purchase Contract Agreement, at the option of the Holder thereof, Purchase Contracts underlying Securities may be settled early (“Early Settlement”) as provided in the Purchase Contract Agreement. In order to exercise the right to effect Early Settlement with respect to any Purchase Contracts evidenced by this SPC Units Certificate, the Holder of this SPC Units Certificate shall deliver this SPC Units 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 set forth below duly completed and accompanied by payment in the form of immediately available funds payable to the order of the Company in an amount (the “Early Settlement Amount”) equal to:

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

(2) if such delivery is made with respect to any Purchase Contracts during the period from the close of business on any Record Date for any Payment Date to the opening of business on such Payment Date, an amount equal to [the sum of (x)] the Purchase Contract Payments payable on such Payment Date with respect to such Purchase Contracts [plus (y) in the case of a SPC Units Certificate, the [distributions or] interest on the related [Preferred Securities or] Notes payable on such Payment Date.

Upon Early Settlement of Purchase Contracts by a Holder of the related Securities, the Pledged [Preferred Securities or the appropriate Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be,] [Notes] underlying such Securities shall be released from the Pledge as provided in the 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 SPC Unit as to which Early Settlement is effected equal to the Early Settlement Rate.

PPL CORPORATION

TREASURY SPC UNITS

This Treasury SPC Units Certificate certifies that ____________________ is the registered Holder of the number of Treasury SPC Units set forth above. Each Treasury SPC Unit consists of (i) a 1/40 undivided beneficial ownership interest of a Treasury Security having a principal amount at maturity equal to $1,000, subject to the Pledge of such Treasury Security by such Holder pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, and (ii) the rights and obligations of the Holder under one Purchase Contract with PPL Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”). All capitalized terms used herein which are defined in the Purchase Contract Agreement (as defined below) have the meaning set forth therein.

B-1

Pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, the Treasury Securities constituting part of each Treasury SPC Unit evidenced hereby have been pledged to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Company, to secure the obligations of the Holder under the Purchase Contract comprising part of such Treasury SPC Unit.

Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby obligates the Holder of this Treasury SPC Units Certificate to purchase, and the Company, to sell, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, at a price equal to [$25] (the “Stated Amount”), a number of shares of PPL Corporation Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”), equal to the Settlement Rate, unless prior to or on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date there shall have occurred a Termination Event or an Early Settlement with respect to the Treasury SPC Unit of which such Purchase Contract is a part, all as provided in the Purchase Contract Agreement and more fully described on the reverse hereof. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby, if not paid earlier, shall be paid on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date by application of the proceeds from the Treasury Securities at maturity pledged to secure the obligations of the Holder under such Purchase Contract of the Treasury SPC Unit of which such Purchase Contract is a part.

[The Company shall pay, quarterly in arrears on February 16, May 16, August 16 and November 16, commencing                 (each, a “Payment Date”), in respect of each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby an amount (the “Purchase Contract Payments”) equal to         % per annum of the Stated Amount. Such Purchase Contract Payments shall be payable to the Person in whose name this Treasury SPC Units Certificate (or a Predecessor Treasury SPC Units Certificate) is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Payment Date. The Company may, at its option, defer Purchase Contract Payments.]

[Purchase Contract Payments will be payable at the office of the Purchase Contract Agent in New York City or, at the option of the Company, by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address appears on the Treasury SPC Units Register.]

Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby is governed by a Purchase Contract Agreement, dated as of                 (as may be supplemented from time to time, the “Purchase Contract Agreement”) between the Company and                 , as Purchase Contract Agent (including its successors thereunder, herein called the “Purchase Contract Agent”), to which the Purchase Contract 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 Company and the Holders and of the terms upon which the Treasury SPC Units Certificates are, and are to be, executed and delivered.

Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby obligates the Holder of this Treasury SPC Units Certificate 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 shares of Common Stock equal to the Settlement Rate, unless prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, there shall have occurred a Termination Event with respect to the Security of which such

B-2

Purchase Contract is a part or an Early Settlement shall have occurred. The “Settlement Rate” is equal to:

(1) if the Applicable Market Value (as defined below) is equals or exceeds $. (the “Threshold Appreciation Price”),              shares of Common Stock per Purchase Contract;

(2) if the Applicable Market Value is less than the Threshold Appreciation Price but greater than $            . (the “Reference Price”), the number of shares of Common Stock per Purchase Contract having a value, based on the Applicable Market Value, equal to the Stated Amount; and

(3) if the Applicable Market Value is less than or equal to the Reference Price,              shares of Common Stock per Purchase Contract, in each case subject to adjustment as provided in the Purchase Contract Agreement,

in each case subject to adjustment as provided in the Purchase Contract Agreement (and in each case rounded upward or downward to the nearest 1/10,000^th of a share).

No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon settlement of Purchase Contracts, as provided in Section 5.10 of the Purchase Contract Agreement.

Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby, which is settled either through Early Settlement or on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, shall obligate the Holder of the related Treasury SPC Unit to purchase at the Purchase Price in cash, and the Company to sell, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Early Settlement Rate or the Settlement Rate, as applicable.

The “Applicable Market Value” means the average of the Closing Prices per share of Common Stock on each of the 20 consecutive Trading Days ending on the third Trading Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date.

The “Closing Price” per share of Common Stock on any date of determination means the:

(1) closing sale price at the 4:15 p.m. close of trading (or, if no closing price is reported, the last reported sale price) per share on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the “NYSE”) on such date;

(2) if Common Stock is not listed for trading on the NYSE on any such date, the closing sale price per share as reported in the composite transactions for the principal United States securities exchange on which Common Stock is so listed;

(3) if Common Stock is not so listed on a United States national or regional securities exchange, the closing sale price per share as reported by The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.;

B-3

(4) if Common Stock is not so reported, the last quoted bid price for Common Stock in the over-the-counter market as reported by the National Quotation Bureau or similar organization; or

(5) if such bid price is not available, the average of the mid-point of the last bid and ask prices of Common Stock on such date from at least three nationally recognized independent investment banking firms retained for this purpose by the Company.

A “Trading Day” means a day on which Common Stock (1) is not suspended from trading on any national or regional securities exchange or association or over-the-counter market at the close of business and (2) has traded at least once on the national or regional securities exchange or association or over-the-counter market that is the primary market for the trading of Common Stock.

In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Contract Agreement, the Holder of this Treasury SPC Unit shall pay the Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby either by effecting a Cash Settlement or an Early Settlement of each such Purchase Contract or by applying a principal amount of the Pledged Treasury Securities underlying such Holder’s Treasury SPC Unit equal to the Stated Amount of such Purchase Contract to the purchase of the Common Stock. A Holder of Treasury SPC Unit who does not effect, prior to or on 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the [fifth] Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, an effective Cash Settlement or who does not effect on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the seventh Business Day prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date an effective Early Settlement, shall pay the Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock to be issued under the related Purchase Contract from the proceeds of the Pledged Treasury Securities.

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 herein set forth.

The Treasury SPC Units Certificates are issuable only in registered form and only in denominations of a single Treasury SPC and any integral multiple thereof. The transfer of any Treasury SPC Certificate will be registered and Treasury SPC Certificates may be exchanged as provided in the Purchase Contract Agreement. The Treasury SPC Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents permitted by the Purchase Contract Agreement. No service charge shall be required for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. A Holder who elects to substitute [Preferred Securities or] Notes for Treasury Securities, thereby recreating SPC Units, shall be responsible for any fees or expenses associated therewith. Except as provided in the Purchase Contract Agreement, for so long as the Purchase Contract underlying a Treasury SPC Unit remains in effect, such Treasury SPC Unit shall not be separable into its constituent parts, and the rights and obligations of the Holder of such Treasury SPC Unit in respect of the Treasury Security and the Purchase Contract

B-4

constituting such Treasury SPC Unit may be transferred and exchanged only as a Treasury SPC Unit.

A Holder of Treasury SPC Units may recreate SPC Units by delivering to the Collateral Agent [Preferred Securities or] Notes with a [liquidation amount, in the case of Preferred Securities, or] principal amount, in the case of Notes, equal to the aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Pledged Treasury Securities, in exchange for the release of such Pledged Treasury Securities in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Contract Agreement and the Pledge Agreement. From and after such substitution, the Holder’s Security shall be referred to as a “SPC Unit”. [Such substitution may cause the equivalent aggregate principal amount of this Certificate to be increased or decreased; provided, however, this Treasury SPC Units Certificate shall not represent more than [x,000,000] Treasury SPC Units. All such adjustments to the equivalent aggregate principal amount of this Treasury SPC Units Certificate shall be duly recorded by placing an appropriate notation on the Schedule attached hereto.] Any such creation of SPC Units may be effected only in multiples of 40 Treasury SPC Units for 40 SPC Units.

A Holder of SPC Units may recreate Treasury SPC Units by delivering to the Collateral Agent Treasury Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Pledged [Preferred Securities or Pledged] Notes in exchange for the release of such Pledged [Preferred Securities or Pledged] Notes in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Contract Agreement and the Pledge Agreement. Any such recreation of Treasury SPC Units may be effected only in multiples of 40 SPC Units for 40 Treasury SPC Units.

[If a Tax Event Redemption has occurred, a Treasury SPC Unit Holder may not recreate an SPC Unit and a SPC Unit Holder may not create a Treasury SPC Unit.]

[The Company shall pay, on each Payment Date, the Purchase Contract Payments payable in respect of each Purchase Contract to the Person in whose name the Treasury SPC Units Certificate evidencing such Purchase Contract is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Payment Date. Purchase Contract Payments will be payable at the office of the Purchase Contract Agent in New York City or, at the option of the Company, by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto at such address as it appears on the Treasury SPC Units Register.

The Company has the right to defer payment of all or part of the Purchase Contract Payments in respect of each Purchase Contract until no later than the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. If the Company so elects to defer Purchase Contract Payments, the Company shall pay additional Purchase Contract Payments on such deferred installments of Purchase Contract Payments at a rate equal to             % per annum, compounding quarterly, until such deferred installments are paid. If a Holder effects an Early Settlement or if a Termination Event shall occur, such Holder will have no right to receive any accrued and unpaid or deferred Purchase Contract Payments.]

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

B-5

obligation of the Company to pay Purchase Contract Payments, shall immediately and automatically terminate, without the necessity of any notice or action by any Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent or the Company, if, on or prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, a Termination Event shall have occurred. 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 Treasury SPC Units Register. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Collateral Agent shall release the Treasury Securities from the Pledge in accordance with the provisions of the Pledge Agreement. A Treasury SPC Unit shall thereafter represent the right to receive the interest in the Treasury Security forming a part of such Treasury SPC Unit, in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Contract Agreement and the Pledge Agreement.

Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of the Purchase Contract Agreement, at the option of the Holder thereof, Purchase Contracts underlying Securities may be settled early (“Early Settlement”) as provided in the Purchase Contract Agreement. In order to exercise the right to effect Early Settlement with respect to any Purchase Contracts evidenced by this Treasury SPC Unit, the Holder of this Treasury SPC Units Certificate shall deliver this Treasury SPC Units 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 set forth below duly completed and accompanied by payment in the form of immediately available funds payable to the order of the Company in an amount (the “Early Settlement Amount”) equal to:

(1) the product of (A) $25 times (B) the number of Purchase Contracts with respect to which the Holder has elected to effect Early Settlement, plus

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

Upon Early Settlement of Purchase Contracts by a Holder of the related Securities, the Pledged Treasury Securities underlying such Securities shall be released from the Pledge as provided in the 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 Treasury SPC Unit as to which Early Settlement is effected equal to shares of Common Stock per Purchase Contract (the “Early Settlement Rate”). The Early Settlement Rate shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the Settlement Rate is adjusted as provided in the Purchase Contract Agreement.

Upon registration of transfer of this Treasury SPC Certificate, the transferee shall be bound (without the necessity of any other action on the part of such transferee, except as may be required by the Purchase Contract Agent pursuant to the Purchase Contract Agreement), under the terms of the Purchase Contract Agreement and the Purchase Contracts evidenced hereby and the transferor shall be released from the obligations under the Purchase Contracts evidenced by this Treasury SPC Units Certificate. The Company covenants and agrees, and the

B-6

Holder, by its acceptance hereof, likewise covenants and agrees, to be bound by the provisions of this paragraph.

The Holder of this Treasury SPC Units Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, authorizes the Purchase Contract Agent to enter into and perform the related Purchase Contracts forming part of the Treasury SPC Units evidenced hereby on its behalf as its attorney-in-fact, expressly withholds any consent to the assumption (i.e., affirmance) of the Purchase Contracts by the Company or its trustee in the event that the Company becomes the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions thereof, covenants and agrees to perform its obligations under such Purchase Contracts, consents to the provisions of the Purchase Contract Agreement, authorizes the Purchase Contract Agent to enter into and perform the Purchase Contract Agreement and the Pledge Agreement on its behalf as its attorney-in-fact, and consents to the Pledge of the Treasury Securities underlying this Treasury SPC Units Certificate pursuant to the Pledge Agreement. The Holder further covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Purchase Contract Agreement and the Pledge Agreement, but subject to the terms thereof, payments in respect to the aggregate principal amount of the Pledged Treasury Securities on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date 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 payments.

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

The Purchase Contracts shall for all purposes be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

The Company, the Purchase Contract Agent and their Affiliates and any agent of the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent or their Affiliates may treat the Person in whose name this Treasury SPC Units Certificate is registered as the owner of the Treasury SPC Units evidenced hereby for the purpose of receiving payments of interest on the Treasury Securities, receiving payments of Purchase Contract Payments, performance of the Purchase Contracts and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payments in respect thereof be overdue and notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, and neither the Company, the Purchase Contract Agent nor any such Affiliate or agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

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.

A copy of the Purchase Contract Agreement is available for inspection at the offices of the Purchase Contract Agent.

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Purchase Contract Agent by manual signature, this Treasury SPC Units Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pledge Agreement or the Purchase Contract Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
