Securities.

          (d) The obligations of the Trust to pay the purchase price in respect of the Stock Purchase

and delivery of the shares of Preferred Stock (or fractional interests therein) pursuant to the

taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance of a share of Preferred Stock (or fractional
interests therein) in a name other than in the name of the Property Trustee or its nominee, as
custodian for the Trust, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such share
certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid

to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

Section 2.6 Contract Payments.

          (a) Subject to Section 2.7, the Company shall pay, in arrears on each Payment Date, the
Contract Payments payable in respect of each Stock Purchase Contract to the Property Trustee or
upon its order. The Contract Payments will be payable by wire transfer to the account designated
by the Property Trustee by a prior written notice to the Company. The Contract Payments will
accrue from and including March 17, 2006 or from and including the most recent Payment Date on
which Contract Payments have been paid or duly provided for (subject to deferral as set forth in
Section 2.7) to but excluding the next succeeding Payment Date. Contract Payments will be
calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

          (b) The Company’s obligations with respect to Contract Payments, if any, will be subordinated
and junior in right of payment to the Company’s obligations under any Senior and Subordinated Debt
to the extent and in the manner set forth in Sections 2.6(b) through (l).

          (c) In the event of (A) any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization,
readjustment, composition or other similar proceeding with respect to the Company, its creditors or
its property, (B) any proceeding for the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or other
winding up of the Company, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, (C) any
assignment by the Company for the benefit of creditors, or (D) any other marshalling of the assets
of the Company:

     (i) all Senior and Subordinated Debt (including any interest thereon accruing after the
commencement of any such proceedings) shall first be paid in full before any payment or

Amended and Restated

Stock Purchase Contract Agreement

-11-

 

distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to the
Property Trustee in respect of Contract Payments;

     (ii) any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property that
would otherwise (but for these subordination provisions) be payable or deliverable in
respect of Contract Payments shall be paid or delivered directly to the holders of Senior
and Subordinated Debt in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders
until all Senior and Subordinated Debt (including any interest thereon accruing after the
commencement of any such proceedings) shall have been paid in full;

     (iii) after payment in full of all sums owing with respect to Senior and Subordinated
Debt, the Property Trustee, together with the holders of any obligations of the Company
ranking on a parity with the Contract Payments, shall be entitled to be paid from the
remaining assets of the Company the amounts at the time due and owing on account of unpaid
Contract Payments and interest thereon and such other obligations before any payment or
other distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made on account
of any capital stock of the Company or any obligations of the Company ranking junior to the
Company’s obligations to make Contract Payments under the Stock Purchase Contracts and such
other obligations; and

     (iv) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of
any character or any security, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be
received by the Property Trustee or the Trust in contravention of any of the terms hereof
such payment or distribution or security shall be received in trust for the benefit of, and
shall be paid over or delivered and transferred to, the holders of the Senior and
Subordinated Debt at the time outstanding in accordance with the priorities then existing
among such holders for application to the payment of all Senior and Subordinated Debt
remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior and Subordinated Debt in
full. In the event of the failure of the Property Trustee or the Trust to endorse or assign
any such payment, distribution or security, each holder of Senior and Subordinated Debt is
hereby irrevocably authorized to endorse or assign the same.

          (d) For purposes of Sections 2.6(b) through (l), the words “cash, securities or other
property” shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or
readjusted, or securities of the Company or any other Person provided for by a plan of
reorganization or readjustment, the payment of which is subordinated at least to the extent
provided in Sections 2.6(b) through (l) with respect to such Contract Payments on the Stock
Purchase Contracts to the payment of all Senior and Subordinated Debt that may at the time be
outstanding; provided that (i) the indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness, as the case may be,
that constitutes Senior and Subordinated Debt is assumed by the Person, if any, resulting from any
such reorganization or readjustment, and (ii) the rights of the holders of the Senior and
Subordinated Debt are not, without the consent of each such holder adversely affected thereby,
altered by such reorganization or readjustment.

          (e) Any failure by the Company to make any payment on or perform any other obligation under
Senior and Subordinated Debt, other than any indebtedness incurred by the Company or assumed or
guaranteed, directly or indirectly, by the Company for money borrowed (or any deferral, renewal,
extension or refunding thereof) or any indebtedness or obligation as to which the provisions of
Sections 2.6(b) through (l) shall have been waived by the Company in the instrument or instruments
by which the Company incurred, assumed, guaranteed or otherwise created such indebtedness or
obligation, shall not be deemed a default or event of default if (i) the Company shall be disputing
its obligation to make such payment or perform such obligation and (ii) either (A) no final
judgment relating to such dispute shall have been issued against the Company that is in full force
and effect and is not subject to further review, including a judgment that has become final by
reason of the expiration of the time within which a party may

Amended and Restated

Stock Purchase Contract Agreement

-12-

 

seek further appeal or review, or (B) in the event a judgment that is subject to further
review or appeal has been issued, the Company shall in good faith be prosecuting an appeal or other
proceeding for review and a stay of execution shall have been obtained pending such appeal or
review.

          (f) Subject to the irrevocable payment in full of all Senior and Subordinated Debt, the
Property Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with the holders
of all obligations of the Company that by their express terms are subordinated to Senior and
Subordinated Debt of the Company to the same extent as payment of the Contract Payments in respect
of the Stock Purchase Contracts is subordinated and that are entitled to like rights of
subrogation) to the rights of the holders of Senior and Subordinated Debt to receive payments or
distributions of cash, securities or other property of the Company applicable to the Senior and
Subordinated Debt until all such Contract Payments owing on the Stock Purchase Contracts shall be
paid in full, and as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of such Senior and
Subordinated Debt and the Property Trustee, no such payment or distribution made to the holders of
Senior and Subordinated Debt by virtue of Sections 2.6(b) through (l) that otherwise would have
been made to the Property Trustee shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company on account of such
Senior and Subordinated Debt, it being understood that the provisions of Sections 2.6(b) through
(l) are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Property Trustee, on
the one hand, and the holders of Senior and Subordinated Debt, on the other hand.

          (g) Nothing contained in Sections 2.6(b) through (l) or elsewhere in this Agreement is
intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior
and Subordinated Debt and the Property Trustee, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute
and unconditional, to pay to the Property Trustee such Contract Payments on the Stock Purchase
Contracts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is
intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Property Trustee and creditors of the
Company other than the holders of Senior and Subordinated Debt, nor shall anything herein or
therein prevent the Property Trustee from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable
law upon default under this Agreement, subject to the rights, if any, under Sections 2.6(b) through
(l), of the holders of Senior and Subordinated Debt in respect of cash, securities or other
property of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

          (h) Upon payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in Sections 2.6(b)
through (l), the Property Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any
court of competent jurisdiction in which any such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or
reorganization proceeding affecting the affairs of the Company is pending or upon a certificate of
the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, conservator, assignee for the benefit of creditors,
liquidating trustee or other Person making any payment or distribution, delivered to the Property
Trustee, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or
distribution, the holders of the Senior and Subordinated Debt and other indebtedness of the
Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon
and all other facts pertinent thereto or to Sections 2.6(b) through (l).

          (i) The Property Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice
by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior and Subordinated Debt (or a trustee or
representative on behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder
of Senior and Subordinated Debt or a trustee or representative on behalf of any such holder or
holders. In the event that the Property Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is
required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior and Subordinated Debt to
participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to Section 2.6(b) through (l), the Property
Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Property
Trustee as to the amount of Senior and Subordinated Debt held by such Person, the extent to which
such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts
pertinent to the rights of such Person under Sections 2.6(b) through (l), and, if such evidence

Amended and Restated

Stock Purchase Contract Agreement

-13-

 

is not furnished, the Property Trustee may defer payment to such Person pending judicial
determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.

          (j) Nothing contained in Sections 2.6(b) through (l) shall affect the obligations of the
Company to make, or prevent the Company from making, payment of the Contract Payments, except as
otherwise provided in Sections 2.6(b) through (l).

          (k) Wilmington Trust Company, or any successor Property Trustee, in its individual capacity
shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Section with respect to any Senior and
Subordinated Debt at the time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior and
Subordinated Debt and nothing in this Agreement shall deprive Wilmington Trust Company, or any
successor Property Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.

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

          (m) Nothing in this Section 2.6 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Property Trustee
under or pursuant to Section 2.7.

          (n) With respect to the holders of Senior and Subordinated Debt, (i) the duties and
obligations of the Property Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this
Agreement; (ii) the Property Trustee shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall, acting in
good faith, mistakenly pay over or distribute to the Holders or to the Company or any other Person
cash, securities or other property to which any holders of Senior and Subordinated Debt shall be
entitled by virtue of this Section 2.6 or otherwise; (iii) no implied covenants or obligations
shall be read into this Agreement against the Property Trustee; and (iv) the Property Trustee shall
not be deemed to be a fiduciary as to such holders.

          (o) Nothing in this Section 2.6 shall apply to any payment or distribution, whether in cash,
securities or other property, made to, or paid over or distributed by, any Paying Agent in respect
of Contract Payments or otherwise. The Paying Agent shall owe no duty, fiduciary or otherwise, to
any holder of Senior and Subordinated Debt and shall not be liable to any holders of Senior and
Subordinated Debt if it shall pay over or distribute to the Holders or to the Company or any other
Person cash, securities or other property to which any holders of Senior and Subordinated Debt
shall otherwise be entitled by virtue of this Section 2.6 or otherwise; and no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Paying Agent.

Section 2.7 Deferral of Contract Payments.

          (a) The Company shall have the right (which will be exercised if so directed by the Federal
Reserve), at any time prior to the Stock Purchase Date, to defer the payment of any or all of the
Contract Payments otherwise payable on any Payment Date, but only if the Company shall give the
Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees (with a copy to the Paying Agent) written notice
of its election to defer each such deferred Contract 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 Property Trustee and the Administrative Trustees are required to give notice of any record
date or Payment Date with respect to any class of ITS to the New York Stock Exchange or other
applicable self regulatory organization or to the Holders, but in any event not less than one
Business Day prior to such record date. Any Contract Payments so deferred shall, to the extent
permitted by law, accrue interest thereon at the rate originally

Amended and Restated

Stock Purchase Contract Agreement

-14-

 

applicable to the Notes (calculated on the same basis as originally applicable to the Notes),
compounding on each succeeding Payment Date, until paid in full (such deferred installments of
Contract Payments, if any, together with the additional Contract Payments, if any, accrued thereon,
being referred to herein as the “Deferred Contract Payments”). Deferred Contract Payments, if any,
shall be due on the next succeeding Payment Date except to the extent that payment is deferred
pursuant to this Section 2.7, except as provided under Section 1.9. No Contract Payments may be
deferred to a date that is after the Stock Purchase Date and no such deferral period may end other
than on a Payment Date, except as provided under Section 1.9. If the Stock Purchase Contracts are
terminated upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Trust’s right to receive Contract
Payments, if any, and any Deferred Contract Payments, will terminate.

          (b) In the event that the Company elects to defer the payment of Contract Payments on the
Stock Purchase Contracts until a Payment Date prior to the Stock Purchase Date, then all Deferred
Contract Payments, if any, shall be payable to the Property Trustee on behalf of the Trust on such
Payment Date, except as provided under Section 1.9.

          (c) In the event that the Company elects to defer the payment of Contract Payments on the
Stock Purchase Contracts and such deferral is continuing on the Stock Purchase Date, the Property
Trustee will receive on the Stock Purchase Date in lieu of a cash payment, in addition to the
shares of Preferred Stock (or fractional interests therein) to be issued pursuant to Section 2.3,
Subordinated Notes that will (i) have a principal amount equal to the aggregate amount of Deferred
Contract Payments at the Stock Purchase Date, (ii) mature on April 15, 2014, (iii) bear interest at
the rate per annum equal to the originally applicable rate of interest on the Notes (subject to
deferral on the same basis as the Contract Payments; provided that the reference in clause (i)(2)
of Section 2.7(d) to the beginning of the deferral period shall be deemed to refer to the beginning
of the deferral period with respect to the Contract Payments), (iv) be subordinate and rank junior
in right of payment to all of the Company’s Senior and Subordinated Debt on the same basis as the
Contract Payments, and (v) be redeemable at the option of the Company at any time or from time to
time prior to their stated maturity at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof
plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption; provided that the Company shall
register such Subordinated Notes under the Securities Act prior to the delivery thereof to the
Property Trustee unless they may be so delivered pursuant to an exemption or exception from
registration thereunder.

          (d) In the event the Company exercises its option to defer the payment of Contract Payments
then, until the earlier of (x) the Termination Date or (y) the date on which the Company shall have
either paid all Deferred Contract Payments to the Property Trustee in cash or repaid all amounts
outstanding on the Subordinated Notes, the Company shall not (i) declare or pay any dividends or
distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any
shares of its capital stock, including Preferred Stock; (ii) make any payment of principal of or
interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt security of the Company
that ranks pari passu in all respects with or junior in interest to the Notes (except for partial
payments of interest pursuant to the terms of the Notes) or (iii) make any guarantee payments with
respect to any guarantee by the Company of the debt securities of any subsidiary of the Company
that by its terms ranks pari passu in all respects with or junior in interest to the Company’s
guarantee related to the ITS other than, in each case:

     (i) any repurchase, redemption or other acquisition of shares of the Company’s capital
stock in connection with (1) any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar
arrangement with or for the benefit of any one or more employees, officers, directors,
consultants or independent contractors, (2) the satisfaction of the Company’s obligations
pursuant to any contract entered into in the ordinary course prior to the beginning of any
deferral period, (3) a dividend reinvestment or stockholder purchase plan, or (4) the
issuance of the Company’s capital stock, or securities

convertible into or exercisable for such capital stock, as consideration in an
acquisition transaction entered into prior to the applicable event of default, default or
extension period, as the case may be;

     (ii) any exchange, redemption or conversion of any class or series of the Company’s
capital stock, or the capital stock of one of its subsidiaries, for any other class or
series of the Company’s capital stock, or any class or series of the Company’s indebtedness
for any class or series of its capital stock;

     (iii) any purchase of fractional interests of the Company’s capital stock pursuant to

of rights, stock or other property under any rights plan, or the redemption or repurchase of

benefit of the Holders of the ITS; or

     (vi) any dividend in the form of stock, warrants, options or other rights where the
dividend stock or stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is
the same stock as that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks equally with or junior
to such stock.

Section 2.8 Cancellation of Stock Purchase Contracts.

          (a) If (i) a Depositor Affiliated Owner (as defined in the Trust Agreement) acquires or
becomes obligated to acquire Normal ITS pursuant to contract, a tender offer, an exchange offer, a
negotiated transfer or any other transaction (such Normal ITS, the “Depositor Affiliated Normal
ITS”) and (ii) the Depositor delivers a Retirement Notice (as defined in the Trust Agreement) in
accordance with Section 4.9 of the Trust Agreement with respect to all or a portion of the
Depositor Affiliated Normal ITS (such Depositor Affiliated Normal ITS, the “Subject Normal ITS”),
then each Stock Purchase Contract related to the Subject Normal ITS (the “Subject Stock Purchase
Contracts”) shall be distributed to the Third-Party Agent (as defined in the Trust Agreement) in
the manner set forth in Section 4.9 of the Trust Agreement. Following the distribution of such
Subject Stock Purchase Contracts, each such Subject Stock Purchase Contract shall be cancelled and
no longer be treated as outstanding for any purpose. The Subject Stock Purchase Contracts shall be
a number of Stock Purchase Contracts equal to 12,500 multiplied by a fraction equal to the
aggregate Liquidation Amount (as defined in the Trust Agreement) of the Subject Normal ITS divided
by $1,250,000,000. In the event that the number of Subject Stock Purchase Contracts is not a whole
number, then, with respect to such fractional Subject Stock Purchase Contract in excess of the next
lowest whole number, the Trust and the Company shall be deemed to have cancelled one Stock Purchase
Contract (which shall not be a Subject Stock Purchase Contract) and, in place thereof, the Company
shall automatically issue (a) a Stock Purchase Contract representing the right to acquire a
fractional interest in a share of Preferred Stock equal to the number of Subject Stock Purchase
Contracts less the next lowest whole number (the “Distribution Fractional Contract”, which shall be
a Subject Stock Purchase Contract) and (b) a Stock Purchase Contract representing the right to
acquire a fractional interest in a share of Preferred Stock equal to one (1) minus the fractional
interest in a share of Preferred Stock which may be acquired pursuant to the Distribution
Fractional Contract (the “Retained Fractional Contracts”, and together with the Distribution
Fractional Contract, the “Fractional Contracts”). The Distribution Fractional Contract shall be
distributed to the Third-Party Agent in accordance with Section 4.9 of the Trust Agreement. The
Retained Fractional Contract shall be retained by the Trust. Each Fractional Contract shall (i)
represent the right to acquire a fractional interest in a share of Preferred Stock

as set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above, as applicable and (ii) have a Stated Amount that is
equal to the fractional interest in a share of Preferred Stock that may be acquired pursuant to
such Stock Purchase Contract multiplied by $100,000.

          (b) Upon any cancellation of Subject Stock Purchase Contracts in accordance with Section
2.8(a), all rights of the Trust with respect to such Subject Stock Purchase Contracts will cease,
including but not limited to any right to receive any accrued Contract Payments or Deferred
Contract Payments with respect thereto.

ARTICLE III

REMEDIES

Section 3.1 Unconditional Right of the Property Trustee to Receive Contract Payments and to
Purchase Shares of Preferred Stock; Direct Action by Holders of Normal ITS or Stripped ITS.

          The Property Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall have the right, which is absolute and
unconditional, (i) subject to Article II, to receive each Contract Payment with respect to each
Stock Purchase Contract on the respective Payment Date therefor and (ii) except upon and following
a Termination Event, to purchase a Pro Rata Interest in a share of Preferred Stock pursuant to such
Stock Purchase Contract and, in each such case, to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
right to receive Contract Payments and the right to purchase such Pro Rata Interest in a share of
Preferred Stock, and such rights shall not be impaired without its consent. Up to and including
the Stock Purchase Date, or the earlier termination of the Stock Purchase Contracts, any Holder
shall have the right, upon default in the payment of any Contract Payment with respect to any Stock
Purchase Contract on the respective Payment Date (subject to Article II), to institute a suit
directly against the Company for enforcement of payment to such Holder of Contract Payments on
Stock Purchase Contracts (or interests therein) having a Stated Amount equal to the aggregate
Liquidation Amount (as defined in the Trust Agreement) of the ITS held by such Holder.

Section 3.2 Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

          If the Property Trustee has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under
this Agreement and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been
determined adversely to the Property Trustee, then and in every such case, subject to any
determination in such proceeding, the Company and the Property Trustee shall be restored severally
and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the
Property Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 3.3 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

          No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Property Trustee is intended to be
exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted
by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or
remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any
other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 3.4 Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

          No delay or omission of the Property Trustee to exercise any right upon a default or remedy
upon a default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such right.
Every right

and remedy given by this Article III or by law to the Property Trustee may be exercised from
time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Property Trustee.

Section 3.5 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

          The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time
insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any
stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the
covenants or the performance of this Agreement; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully
do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will
not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Property Trustee, but
will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

          (a) the successor shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United

merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease or conveyance, be in default of payment obligations under
the Stock Purchase Contracts, this Agreement, the Collateral Agreement, the Trust Agreement or the
Remarketing Agreement or in material default in the performance of any other covenants under any of
the foregoing agreements; and

          (c) the successor entity shall have reserved sufficient authorized and unissued shares of
preferred stock having substantially the same terms and conditions as the Preferred Stock such that
the Trust will receive, on the Stock Purchase Date, shares of preferred stock having substantially
the same rights as the Preferred Stock that the Trust would have received had such merger,
consolidation or other transaction not occurred.

Section 4.2 Rights and Duties of Successor Corporation.

          In case of any such merger, consolidation, share exchange, sale, assignment, transfer, lease
or conveyance and upon any such assumption by a successor corporation in accordance with Section

as if it had been named herein as the Company.
