 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 Units 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 in the manner set forth in Section 1.06.

appears in the Security 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 any case where the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or any Early Settlement Date or Cash Merger Early Settlement Date shall not be a Business Day (notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the
Units), Purchase Contracts shall not be performed and Early Settlement and Cash Merger Early Settlement shall not be effected on such date, but Purchase Contracts shall be performed or Early Settlement or Cash Merger Early Settlement shall be
effected, as applicable, on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Purchase Contract Settlement Date, Early Settlement Date or Cash Merger Early Settlement Date, as applicable.

THE UNITS 
  
 Section 3.01 Amount; Form and Denominations. The aggregate number of Units evidenced by Certificates authenticated, executed on behalf of the
Holders and delivered hereunder is limited to 18,000,000, except for Certificates authenticated, executed and delivered upon registration of transfer of, in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Certificates pursuant to Section 3.04,
Section 3.05, Section 3.10, Section 3.13, Section 3.14 or Section 8.05. 
  
 The Certificates shall be issuable only in registered form and only in denominations of a single Corporate Unit or Treasury Unit and any integral multiple
thereof. 
  
 Section 3.02 Rights and Obligations Evidenced
by the Certificates. Each Corporate Units Certificate shall evidence the number of Corporate Units specified therein, with each such Corporate Unit representing (1) the ownership by the Holder thereof of an Applicable Ownership Interest in
Subordinated Notes or an Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, subject to the Pledge of such Applicable Ownership Interest in Subordinated Note or Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio (as
specified in clause (i) of the definition of such term), as the case may be, by such Holder pursuant to this Agreement, and (2) the rights and obligations of the Holder thereof and the Company under one Purchase Contract. The Purchase
Contract Agent is hereby authorized, as attorney-in-fact for, and on behalf of, the Holder of each Corporate Unit, to pledge, pursuant to Article 11 hereof, the Applicable Ownership Interest in Subordinated Notes, or the Applicable Ownership
Interest in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of such term) forming a part of such Corporate Unit, to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Company, and to grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit
of the Company, a security interest in the right, title and interest of such Holder in such Applicable Ownership Interest in Subordinated Notes or Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the
definition of such term) to secure the obligation of the Holder under each Purchase Contract to purchase shares of Common Stock. To effect such Pledge and grant such security interest, the Purchase Contract Agent on behalf of the Holders of
Corporate Units has, on the date hereof, delivered to the Collateral Agent the Subordinated Notes underlying the Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes. 
  
 Upon the formation of a Treasury Unit pursuant to Section 3.13, each Treasury Unit Certificate shall evidence the
number of Treasury Units specified therein, with each such Treasury Unit representing (1) the ownership by the Holder thereof of a 1/40 or 2.5% undivided beneficial interest in a Treasury Security with a principal amount equal to $1,000,
subject to the Pledge of such interest by such Holder pursuant to this Agreement, and (2) the rights and obligations of the Holder thereof and the Company under one Purchase Contract. The Purchase Contract Agent is hereby authorized, as
attorney-in-fact for, and on behalf of, the Holder of each Treasury Unit, to pledge, pursuant to Article 11 hereof, such Holder’s interest in the Treasury Security forming a part of such Treasury Unit to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of
the Company, and to grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Company, a security interest in the right, title and interest of such Holder in such Treasury Security 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 Unit 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 3.03 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. Subject to the provisions of
Section 3.13 and Section 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 its Chairman of the Board of Directors, its Chief Executive Officer, its President, its Treasurer or one of its Vice Presidents. The signature of any of these officers 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 of authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
  
 Section 3.04 Temporary Certificates. Pending the preparation of
definitive Certificates, the Company may execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holders, and deliver, in lieu of such definitive Certificates, temporary
Certificates which are in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A or Exhibit B hereto, as the case may be, with such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements printed, lithographed or
engraved thereon as may be required by the rules of any securities exchange on which the Corporate Units or Treasury Units, as the case may be, are listed, or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers of the Company executing such
Certificates, as evidenced by their execution of the Certificates. 
  
 If temporary Certificates are issued, the Company will cause definitive Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Certificates, the temporary Certificates shall be exchangeable for
definitive Certificates upon surrender of the temporary Certificates at the Corporate Trust Office, at the expense of the Company and without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Certificates, the
Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder, and deliver in exchange therefor, one or more definitive Certificates of like tenor and
denominations and evidencing a like number of Units as the temporary Certificate or Certificates so surrendered. Until so exchanged, the temporary Certificates shall in all respects evidence the same benefits and the same obligations with respect to
the Units evidenced thereby as definitive Certificates. 
  

 19 

 Section 3.05 Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Purchase Contract Agent
shall keep at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Purchase Contract Agent shall provide for the registration of Certificates and
of transfers of Certificates (the Purchase Contract Agent, in such capacity, the “Security Registrar”). The Security Registrar shall record separately the registration and transfer of the Certificates evidencing Corporate Units and
Treasury Units. 
  
 Upon surrender for registration of transfer of
any Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the designated transferee or transferees, and deliver, in
the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of any authorized denominations, like tenor, and evidencing a like number of Corporate Units or Treasury Units, as the case may be. 
  
 At the option of the Holder, Certificates may be exchanged for other
Certificates, of any authorized denominations and evidencing a like number of Corporate Units or Treasury Units, as the case may be, upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office. Whenever any Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder, and deliver the Certificates which the Holder making the exchange is
entitled to receive. 
  
 All Certificates issued upon any
registration of transfer or exchange of a Certificate shall evidence the ownership of the same number of Corporate Units or Treasury Units, as the case may be, and be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same obligations under this
Agreement as the Corporate Units or Treasury Units, as the case may be, evidenced by the Certificate surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 
  

Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Purchase Contract Agent) be duly
endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing. 
  
 No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange
of a Certificate, but the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent may require payment from the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange
of Certificates, other than any exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, Section 3.05(ii) and Section 8.05 not involving any transfer. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract Agent
shall not be obligated to authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder and deliver any Certificate in exchange for any other Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange on or after the Business Day immediately
preceding the earliest to occur of any Early Settlement Date with respect to such Certificate, any Cash Merger Early Settlement Date with respect to such Certificate, the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or the Termination Date. In lieu of delivery
of a new Certificate, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions specified above in this Section and receipt of appropriate registration or transfer instructions from such Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent shall: 
  
 (i) if the Purchase Contract Settlement Date (including upon
any Cash Settlement) or an Early Settlement Date or a Cash Merger Early Settlement Date with respect to such other Certificate (or portion thereof) has occurred, deliver the shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of the Purchase Contracts
forming a part of the Units evidenced by such other Certificate (or portion thereof); or 
  

 20 

 (ii) if a Termination Event, Early Settlement, or Cash Merger Early Settlement shall have
occurred prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, or a Cash Settlement shall have occurred, transfer the Subordinated Notes, the Treasury Securities, or the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be,
underlying such Certificate, in each case subject to the applicable conditions and in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 3.15 and Article 5 hereof. 
  
 Section 3.06 Book-entry Interests. The Certificates, on original issuance, will be issued in definitive
certificated form and will bear the Restrictive Legend, if required by the Company. Upon the sale of the Units to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Restrictive Legend (if any) will be removed and Certificates will be
issued in the form of one or more fully registered Global Certificates, to be delivered to the Depositary or its custodian by, or on behalf of, the Company. The Company hereby designates DTC as the initial Depositary. Such Global Certificates shall
initially be registered on the Security Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the Depositary, and no Beneficial Owner will receive a definitive Certificate representing such Beneficial Owner’s interest in such Global
Certificate, except as provided in Section 3.09. The Purchase Contract Agent shall enter into an agreement with the Depositary if so requested by the Company. Following the issuance of such Global Certificates and unless and until definitive,
and fully registered Certificates have been issued to Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section 3.09: 
  
 (i) the provisions of this Section 3.06 shall be in full force and effect; 
  
 (ii) the Company shall be entitled to deal with the
Depositary for all purposes of this Agreement as the Holder of the Units and the sole holder of the Global Certificates and shall have no obligation to the Beneficial Owners; provided that a Beneficial Owner may directly enforce against the
Company, without any consent, proxy, waiver or involvement of the Depositary of any kind, such Beneficial Owner’s right to receive a definitive Certificate representing the Units beneficially owned by such Beneficial Owner, as set forth in
Section 3.09; 
  
 (iii) to the extent that
the provisions of this Section 3.06 conflict with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 3.06 shall control; and 
  
 (iv) except as set forth in the proviso of clause (ii) of this Section 3.06, the rights of the Beneficial Owners shall be
exercised only through the Depositary and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Beneficial Owners and the Depositary or the Depositary Participants. The Depositary will make book-entry transfers among Depositary
Participants. 
  
 Transfers of securities evidenced by Global Certificates shall
be made through the facilities of the Depositary, and any cancellation of, or increase or decrease in the number of, such securities (including the creation of Treasury Units and the recreation of Corporate Units pursuant to Section 3.13 and
Section 3.14 respectively) shall be accomplished by making appropriate annotations on the Schedule of Increases and Decreases set forth in such Global Certificate. 
  

 21 

 Section 3.07 Notices to Holders. Whenever a notice or other communication to the Holders is
required to be given under this Agreement, the Company or the Company’s agent shall give such notices and communications to the Holders and, with respect to any Units registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary,
the Company or the Company’s agent shall, except as set forth herein, have no obligations to the Beneficial Owners. 
  
 Section 3.08 Appointment of Successor Depositary. If the Depositary elects to discontinue its services as securities depositary with respect
to the Units, the Company may, in its sole discretion, appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the Units. 
  
 Section 3.09 Definitive Certificates. 
  
 If: 
  
 (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue its services as securities depositary with respect to
the Units and no successor Depositary has been appointed pursuant to Section 3.08 within 90 days after such notice; 
  
 (ii) the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under Section 17A of the Exchange Act when the Depositary
is required to be so registered to act as the Depositary and so notifies the Company, and no successor Depositary has been appointed pursuant to Section 3.08 within 90 days after such notice; 
  
 (iii) to the extent permitted by the Depositary, the Company
determines at any time that the Units shall no longer be represented by Global Certificates and shall inform such Depositary of such determination and participants in such Depository elect to withdraw their beneficial interests in the Units from
such Depository, following notification by the Depository of their right to do so; or 
  
 (iv) a Beneficial Owner requests to exchange such Beneficial Owner’s interest in the Global Certificates for definitive Certificates
in order to exercise or enforce such Beneficial Owner’s rights under the Units represented by such Global Certificates; 
  
 then (x) definitive Certificates shall be prepared by the Company with respect to such Units and delivered to the Purchase Contract Agent and (y) upon surrender
of the Global Certificates representing the Units by the Depositary, accompanied by registration instructions (other than in the case of clause (iv) above), the Company shall cause definitive Certificates to be delivered to Beneficial Owners in
accordance with instructions provided by the Depositary. The Company and the Purchase Contract Agent shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on and shall be authorized and protected in relying on,
such instructions. Each definitive Certificate so delivered shall evidence Units of the same kind and tenor as the Global Certificate so surrendered in respect thereof. 
  
 Section 3.10 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Certificates. If any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to
the Purchase Contract Agent, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder, and deliver in exchange therefor, a new Certificate, evidencing
the same number of Corporate Units or Treasury Units, as the case may be, and bearing a Certificate number not contemporaneously outstanding. 
  

 22 

 If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent (i) evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them and any agent of any of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the
Purchase Contract Agent that such Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder, and
deliver to the Holder, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate, evidencing the same number of Corporate Units or Treasury Units, as the case may be, and bearing a Certificate number not contemporaneously
outstanding. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall
not be obligated to execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent, and the Purchase Contract Agent shall not be obligated to authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder, and deliver to the Holder, a Certificate on or after the Business Day
immediately preceding the earliest of any Early Settlement Date with respect to such lost or mutilated Certificate, any Cash Merger Early Settlement Date with respect to such lost or mutilated Certificate, the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or
the Termination Date. In lieu of delivery of a new Certificate, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions specified above in this Section and receipt of appropriate registration or transfer instructions from such Holder, the Purchase Contract
Agent shall: 
  
 (i) if the Purchase Contract
Settlement Date (including upon any Cash Settlement) or an Early Settlement Date or a Cash Merger Early Settlement Date with respect to such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Certificate has occurred, deliver the shares of Common Stock issuable
in respect of the Purchase Contracts forming a part of the Units evidenced by such Certificate; and 
  
 (ii) if a Termination Event, Cash Merger Early Settlement or an Early Settlement with respect to such lost or mutilated Certificate shall
have occurred prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or a Cash Settlement shall have occurred, transfer the Subordinated Notes, the Treasury Securities or the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be,
underlying such Certificate, in each case subject to the applicable conditions and in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 3.15 and Article 5 hereof. 
  
 Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent may require the
payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other fees and expenses (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Purchase Contract Agent)
connected therewith. 
  
 Every new Certificate issued pursuant to
this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company and of the Holder in respect of the Units evidenced thereby, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate (and the Units evidenced thereby) shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits and be subject to all the obligations of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other
Certificates delivered hereunder. 
  
 The provisions of this
Section are exclusive and shall preclude, to the extent lawful, all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificates. 
  
 Section 3.11 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a
Certificate for registration of transfer, the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent, and any agent of the Company or 
  

 23 

 the Purchase Contract Agent, may treat the Person in whose name such Certificate is registered as the owner of the Units
evidenced thereby for purposes of (subject to any applicable record date) any payment or distribution with respect to the Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes, or on the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as
specified in clause (ii) of the definition of such term), as applicable, and performance of the Purchase Contracts and for all other purposes whatsoever in connection with such Units, whether or not such payment, distribution, or performance
shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, and neither the Company nor the Purchase Contract Agent, nor any agent of the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent, shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Certificate,
nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company, the Purchase Contract Agent or any agent of the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary (or
its nominee), as a Holder, with respect to such Global Certificate, or impair, as between such Depositary and the related Beneficial Owner, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of rights of the Depositary (or its nominee) as
Holder of such Global Certificate. None of the Company, the Purchase Contract Agent or any agent of the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on
account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Certificate or maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. 
  
 Section 3.12 Cancellation. All Certificates surrendered for delivery of shares of Common Stock on or after the
Purchase Contract Settlement Date or in connection with an Early Settlement or a Cash Merger Early Settlement or for delivery of the Subordinated Notes underlying the Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes, the Applicable Ownership
Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or Treasury Securities, as the case may be, after the occurrence of a Termination Event or pursuant to a Cash Settlement, an Early Settlement or a Cash Merger Early Settlement, a Collateral Substitution, or upon
the registration of transfer or exchange of a Unit, shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Purchase Contract Agent, be delivered to the Purchase Contract Agent along with appropriate written instructions regarding the cancellation
thereof and, if not already cancelled, shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent for cancellation any Certificates previously authenticated, executed and delivered hereunder that the
Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Certificates so delivered shall, upon an Issuer Order, be promptly cancelled by the Purchase Contract Agent. No Certificates shall be authenticated, executed on behalf of the Holder and
delivered in lieu of or in exchange for any Certificates cancelled as provided in this Section 3.12, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement. All cancelled Certificates held by the Purchase Contract Agent shall be disposed of in
accordance with its customary practices. 
  
 If the Company or any
Affiliate of the Company shall acquire any Certificate, such acquisition shall not operate as a cancellation of such Certificate unless and until such Certificate is delivered to the Purchase Contract Agent cancelled or for cancellation. 

 
 Section 3.13 Creation of Treasury Units by Substitution of
Treasury Securities. (a) Unless Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio have replaced the Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes as a component of the Corporate Units, and subject to the conditions set forth
in this Agreement, a Holder of Corporate Units may, at any time from and after the date of this Agreement and prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the seventh Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, effect a
Collateral Substitution and separate the Subordinated Notes underlying Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes in respect of such Holder’s Corporate Units by substituting for such Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated
Notes, Treasury Securities in an aggregate principal amount at maturity equal to the aggregate principal amount 
  

 24 

 of the Subordinated Notes underlying the Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes; provided that Holders may
make Collateral Substitutions only in integral multiples of 40 Corporate Units. To effect such substitution, the Holder must: 
  
 (1) Transfer to the Securities Intermediary, for credit to the Collateral Account, Treasury Securities or security entitlements with
respect thereto having a Value equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes for which such Collateral Substitution is made; and 
  
 (2) Transfer the related Corporate Units to the Purchase
Contract Agent accompanied by a notice to the Purchase Contract Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, whereupon the Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly provide an instruction to such effect to the Collateral Agent, substantially
in the form of Exhibit G hereto. 
  
 Upon confirmation that the Treasury
Securities described in clause (1) above or security entitlements with respect thereto have been credited to the Collateral Account and receipt of the instruction to the Collateral Agent described in clause (2) above, the Collateral Agent
shall release such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes from the Pledge and instruct the Securities Intermediary by a notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto, to Transfer the Subordinated Notes underlying such
Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to such Holder, free and clear of the Pledge created hereby. 
  
 Upon credit to the Collateral Account of Treasury Securities or security entitlements with respect thereto delivered by a
Holder of Corporate Units and receipt of the related instruction from the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary shall promptly Transfer the Subordinated Notes underlying the appropriate Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated
Notes to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to such Holder, free and clear of the Pledge created hereby. 
  
 Upon receipt of the Subordinated Notes underlying such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes, the Purchase Contract Agent shall
promptly: 
  
 (i) cancel the related Corporate
Units; 
  
 (ii) Transfer the Subordinated Notes
to the Holder; and 
  
 (iii) deliver Treasury
Units in book-entry form, or if applicable, authenticate, execute on behalf of such Holder and deliver Treasury Units in the form of a Treasury Units Certificate executed by the Company in accordance with Section 3.03 evidencing the same number
of Purchase Contracts as were evidenced by the cancelled Corporate Units. 
  
 Holders who elect to separate the Subordinated Notes by substituting Treasury Securities for Applicable Ownership Interest in Subordinated Notes shall be responsible for any fees or expenses (including, without
limitation, fees and expenses payable to the Collateral Agent) in respect of the substitution, and neither the Company nor the Purchase Contract Agent shall be responsible for any such fees or expenses. 
  
 (b) If Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio have replaced
Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes as a component of the Corporate Units, and 
  

 25 

 subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, a Holder of Corporate Units may, at any time from and after the
date of this Agreement and prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the seventh Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, substitute Treasury Securities for the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury
Portfolio included in such Corporate Units, but only in integral multiples of [    ] Corporate Units. In such an event, the Holder shall Transfer Treasury Securities having an aggregate principal amount at maturity equal
to equal to the aggregate Stated Amount of the Purchase Contracts constituting a part of the Corporate Units for which Collateral Substitution is being made to the Securities Intermediary, for credit to the Collateral Account, and the Purchase
Contract Agent, Collateral Agent and Securities Intermediary shall effect a Collateral Substitution for the appropriate Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio in the manner set forth in clause (a) above. 
  
 (c) In the event a Holder making a Collateral Substitution pursuant to this
Section 3.13 fails to effect a book-entry transfer of the Corporate Units or fails to deliver Corporate Units Certificates to the Purchase Contract Agent after depositing Treasury Securities with the Securities Intermediary, any distributions
on the Subordinated Notes underlying the Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes, or with respect to the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, in each case constituting a part of such Corporate Units, shall be held
in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent or its nominee in trust for the benefit of such Holder, until such Corporate Units are so transferred or the Corporate Units Certificate is so delivered, as the case may be, or such Holder provides evidence
satisfactory to the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent that such Corporate Units Certificate has been destroyed, lost or stolen, together with any indemnity that may be required by the Purchase Contract Agent and the Company. 
  
 (d) Except as described in Section 5.02 or in this Section 3.13 or
in connection with a Cash Settlement, an Early Settlement, a Cash Merger Early Settlement or a Termination Event, for so long as the Purchase Contract underlying a Corporate Unit remains in effect, such Corporate Units shall not be separable into
its constituent parts, and the rights and obligations of the Holder in respect of the Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes or Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, and the Purchase Contract
comprising such Corporate Units may be acquired, and may be transferred and exchanged, only as a Corporate Unit. 
  
 Section 3.14 Recreation of Corporate Units. (a) Unless Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio have replaced Applicable
Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes as a component of the Corporate Units, and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, a Holder of Treasury Units may recreate Corporate Units at any time from and after the date of this Agreement
and prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the seventh Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date; provided that Holders of Treasury Units may only recreate Corporate Units in integral multiples of 40
Treasury Units. To recreate Corporate Units, the Holder must: 
  
 (1) Transfer to the Securities Intermediary for credit to the Collateral Account Subordinated Notes or security entitlements with respect thereto having an aggregate principal amount equal to the Value of the Pledged
Treasury Securities to be released; and 
  
 (2)
Transfer the related Treasury Units to the Purchase Contract Agent accompanied by a notice to the Purchase Contract Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, whereupon the Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly provide an instruction to
such effect to the Collateral Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto. 
  

 26 

 Upon confirmation that the Subordinated Notes described in clause (1) above or security entitlements with respect
thereto have been credited to the Collateral Account and receipt of the instruction from the Purchase Contract Agent described in clause (2) above, the Collateral Agent shall promptly release such Pledged Treasury Securities from the Pledge and
shall promptly instruct the Securities Intermediary by a notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto, to Transfer such Pledged Treasury Securities to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to such Holder, free and clear of the Pledge
created hereby. 
  
 Upon credit to the Collateral Account of
Subordinated Notes or security entitlements with respect thereto delivered by a Holder of Treasury Units and receipt of the related instruction from the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary shall promptly Transfer the Pledged Treasury
Securities to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to such Holder, free and clear of the Pledge created hereby. 
  
 Upon receipt of such Treasury Securities, the Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly: 
  
 (i) cancel the related Treasury Units; 
  
 (ii) Transfer the Treasury Securities to the Holder; and 
  
 (iii) deliver Corporate Units in book-entry form or, if

 Holders who elect
to recreate Corporate Units shall be responsible for any fees or expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses payable to the Collateral Agent), in respect of the recreation, and neither the Company nor the Purchase Contract Agent shall
be responsible for any such fees or expenses. 
  
 (b) If
Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio have replaced Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes as a component of the Corporate Units and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, a Holder of Treasury Units
may at any time from and after the date of this Agreement and prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the seventh Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date substitute the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in
the Treasury Portfolio for Treasury Securities included in such Treasury Units, but only in multiples of [    ] Treasury Units. In such an event, the Holder shall Transfer Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury
Portfolio having a Value equal to the aggregate Value of the Treasury Securities for which substitution is being made to the Securities Intermediary, for credit to the Collateral Account, and the Purchase Contract Agent, Collateral Agent and
Securities Intermediary shall effect a Collateral Substitution and release the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio from the Pledge in the manner set forth in clause (a) above. 
  
 (c) Except as provided in Section 5.02 or in this Section 3.14 or
in connection with a Cash Settlement, an Early Settlement, a Cash Merger Early Settlement or a Termination Event, for so long as the Purchase Contract underlying a Treasury Unit remains in effect, such Treasury Unit shall not be separable into its
constituent parts and the rights and obligations of the Holder of such Treasury Unit in respect of the interest in the Treasury Security and the Purchase Contract comprising such Treasury Unit may be acquired, and may be transferred and exchanged,
only as a Treasury Unit. 
  
 Section 3.15 Transfer of
Collateral Upon Occurrence of Termination Event. (a) Upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of written notice pursuant to Section 5.06 hereof from the Company or the 
  

 27 

 Purchase Contract Agent that a Termination Event has occurred, the Collateral Agent shall release all Collateral from the
Pledge and shall promptly instruct the Securities Intermediary to Transfer: 
  
 (i) any Subordinated Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes or security entitlements with respect thereto or Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio;

  
 (ii) any Pledged Treasury Securities;

  
 (iii) any payments made by Holders (or the

 (iv) any Proceeds and all other payments the Collateral Agent receives in respect of the foregoing, 
  
 to the Purchase Contract Agent for the benefit of the Holders for distribution to such
Holders, in accordance with their respective interests, free and clear of the Pledge created hereby; provided, however, if any Holder or Beneficial Owner shall be entitled to receive Subordinated Notes in an aggregate principal amount
of less than $1,000, or greater than $1,000 but not in an integral multiple of $1,000, the Purchase Contract Agent shall request, on behalf of such Holder or Beneficial Owner, pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Supplemental Indenture that the
Company issue Subordinated Notes in denominations of $25, or integral multiples thereof, in exchange for Subordinated Notes in denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof; and provided further, if any Holder shall be entitled to
receive less than $1,000 with respect to its Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or its Pledged Treasury Securities, the Purchase Contract Agent shall dispose of such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the
Treasury Portfolio or Pledged Treasury Securities for cash and deliver to such Holder cash in lieu of delivering the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or Pledged Treasury Securities, as the case may be. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (a) of this
Section 3.15, if such Termination Event shall result from the Company’s becoming a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, and if the Collateral Agent shall for any reason fail promptly to effectuate the release and Transfer of all Subordinated
Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes, Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, Pledged Treasury Securities and payments by Holders (or the Permitted Investments of such payments)
pursuant to Section 5.02 and Proceeds and all other payments received by the Collateral Agent in respect of the foregoing, as the case may be, as provided by this Section 3.15, the Purchase Contract Agent shall use its best efforts to
obtain an opinion of a nationally recognized law firm to the effect that, notwithstanding the Company’s being the debtor in such a bankruptcy case, the Collateral Agent will not be prohibited from releasing or Transferring the Collateral as
provided in this Section 3.15, and shall deliver or cause to be delivered such opinion to the Collateral Agent within ten days after the occurrence of such Termination Event, and if (A) the Purchase Contract Agent shall be unable to obtain
such opinion within ten days after the occurrence of such Termination Event or (B) the Collateral Agent shall continue, after delivery of such opinion, to refuse to effectuate the release and Transfer of all Subordinated Notes underlying
Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes, Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, Pledged Treasury Securities and the payments by Holders (or the Permitted Investments of such payments) pursuant to
Section 5.02 hereof and Proceeds and all other payments received by the Collateral Agent in respect of the foregoing, as the case may be, as provided in this Section 3.15, then the Purchase Contract Agent shall within fifteen days after
the occurrence of such Termination Event commence an action or proceeding in the court having jurisdiction of the Company’s case under the Bankruptcy Code seeking an order requiring the Collateral Agent to effectuate the release and transfer of
all Subordinated Notes 
  

 28 

 underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes, Pledged Applicable Ownership Interest in the
Treasury Portfolio, Pledged Treasury Securities and the payments by Holders (or the Permitted Investments of such payments) pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof and Proceeds and all other payments received by the Collateral Agent in respect of the
foregoing, or as the case may be, as provided by this Section 3.15. 
  
 (c) Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event and the Transfer to the Purchase Contract Agent of the Subordinated Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes, the appropriate Pledged
Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or the Pledged Treasury Securities, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 3.15, the Purchase Contract Agent shall request transfer instructions with respect to such Subordinated Notes,
Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or Pledged Treasury Securities, as the case may be, from each Holder by written request, substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, mailed to such Holder at its address as it appears in
the Security Register. 
  
 (d) Upon book-entry transfer of the
Corporate Units or the Treasury Units or delivery of a Corporate Units Certificate or Treasury Units Certificate to the Purchase Contract Agent with such transfer instructions, the Purchase Contract Agent shall transfer the Subordinated Notes
underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes, the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or Pledged Treasury Securities, as the case may be, underlying such Corporate Units or Treasury Units, as
the case may be, to such Holder by book-entry transfer, or other appropriate procedures, in accordance with such instructions and, in the case of the Subordinated Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes, in
accordance with the terms of the Supplemental Indenture. In the event a Holder of Corporate Units or Treasury Units fails to effect such transfer or delivery, the Subordinated Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated
Notes, the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or Pledged Treasury Securities, as the case may be, underlying such Corporate Units of Treasury 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: 
  
 (i) the transfer of such Corporate Units or Treasury Units or surrender of the Corporate Units Certificate or Treasury Units Certificate
or the receipt by the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent from such Holder of satisfactory evidence that such Corporate Units Certificate or Treasury Units Certificate has been destroyed, lost or stolen, together with any indemnity that may be
required by the Purchase Contract Agent and the Company; and 
  
 (ii) the expiration of the time period specified by the applicable law governing abandoned property in the state in which the Purchase Contract Agent holds such property.

Unit, 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 a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code or subject to other similar state or Federal law providing for reorganization or liquidation. 
  
 Section 3.17 Substitutions. Whenever a Holder has the right to
substitute Treasury Securities, Subordinated Notes underlying Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes or the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as defined in clause (i) of the definition of such term), as the
case may be, or security entitlements for any of them for financial assets held in the Collateral Account, such substitution shall not constitute a novation of the security interest created hereby.

 Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes or distributions on Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio,
as the case may be, that would otherwise be payable or made after the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, Early Settlement Date, Cash Merger Early Settlement Date or the date of the Collateral Substitution, as the case may be, shall not be payable
hereunder to the Holder of such Corporate Units; provided, however, that to the extent that such Holder continues to hold Separate Subordinated Notes or Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio that formerly comprised a part of such

the Securities Intermediary to invest such payments in the Permitted Investments described in clause (6) of the definition of Permitted Investments. In no event shall the Collateral Agent be liable for the selection of Permitted Investments or
for investment losses incurred thereon. The Collateral Agent shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the failure of the Company to provide timely written investment direction. 
  
 (b) All payments received by the Securities Intermediary in respect of
(1) the Subordinated Notes, (2) the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio and (3) the Treasury Securities or security entitlements with respect thereto, that, in each case, have been released from the Pledge

 Section 4.03 Notice and Voting. (a) Subject to Section 4.03(b) hereof, the Purchase Contract Agent may
exercise, or refrain from exercising, any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Subordinated Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent
with the terms of this Agreement; provided that the Purchase Contract Agent shall not exercise or shall not refrain from exercising such right, as the case may be, if, in the judgment of the Purchase Contract Agent, such action would impair or
otherwise have a material adverse effect on the value of all or any of the Subordinated Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes; and provided further that the Purchase Contract Agent shall give the
Company and the Collateral Agent at least five Business Days’ prior written notice of the manner in which it intends to exercise, or its reasons for refraining from exercising, any such right. Upon receipt of any notices and other
communications in respect of any Subordinated Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes, including either notice of any meeting at which holders of the Subordinated Notes are entitled to vote or the solicitation
of consents, waivers or proxies of holders of the Subordinated Notes, the Collateral Agent shall use reasonable efforts to send promptly to the Purchase Contract Agent such notice or communication, and as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt
of a written request therefor from the Purchase Contract Agent, to execute and 
  

 31 

 deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent such proxies and other instruments in respect of such Subordinated Notes
underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes (in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent) as are prepared by the Company and delivered to the Purchase Contract Agent with respect to the Subordinated Notes
underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes. 
  
 (b) Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which holders of Subordinated Notes are entitled to vote or upon any solicitation of consents, waivers or proxies of holders of Subordinated Notes, the Purchase Contract
Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, mail, first class, postage pre-paid, to the Holders of Corporate Units a notice: 
  
 (i) containing such information as is contained in the notice or solicitation; 
  
 (ii) stating that each Holder on the record date set by the
Purchase Contract Agent therefor (which, to the extent possible, shall be the same date as the record date set by the Company for determining the holders of Subordinated Notes entitled to vote) shall be entitled to instruct the Purchase Contract
Agent as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the Subordinated Notes underlying the Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes that are a component of their Corporate Units; and 
  
 (iii) stating the manner in which such instructions may be
given. 
  
 Upon the written request of the Holders of Corporate Units on such
record date received by the Purchase Contract Agent at least six days prior to such meeting, the Purchase Contract Agent shall endeavor insofar as practicable to vote or cause to be voted, in accordance with the instructions set forth in such
requests, the maximum aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Notes (rounded down to the nearest integral multiple of $1,000) as to which any particular voting instructions are received. In the absence of specific instructions from the Holder of
Corporate Units, the Purchase Contract Agent shall abstain from voting the Subordinated Notes underlying Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes that are a component of such Corporate Units. The Company hereby agrees, if applicable, to
solicit Holders of Corporate Units to timely instruct the Purchase Contract Agent as to the exercise of such voting rights in order to enable the Purchase Contract Agent to vote such Subordinated Notes. 
  
 (c) The Holders of Corporate Units and the Holders of Treasury Units shall
have no voting or other rights in respect of Common Stock. 
  
 Section 4.04 Special Event Redemption. (a) If the Company elects to redeem the Subordinated Notes following the occurrence of a Special Event as permitted by the Indenture, it shall notify the Collateral Agent in writing
that a Special Event has occurred and that it intends to redeem the Subordinated Notes on the Special Event Redemption Date. Upon the occurrence of such Special Event Redemption while Subordinated Notes are still credited to the Collateral Account,
the Collateral Agent shall, and is hereby authorized to, instruct the Securities Intermediary to present the Subordinated Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes for payment as may be required by their
respective terms and to direct the Indenture Trustee to remit the Redemption Price to the Securities Intermediary for credit to the Collateral Account, on or prior to 12:30 p.m., New York City time, on such Special Event Redemption Date, by federal
funds check or wire transfer of immediately available funds. Upon receipt of such funds by the Securities Intermediary and the credit thereof to the Collateral Account, the Subordinated Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in
Subordinated Notes shall be released from the Collateral Account and promptly transferred to the 
  

 32 

 Company. Upon the crediting of such funds to the Collateral Account, the Collateral Agent, at the written direction of
the Company, shall instruct the Securities Intermediary to (i) apply an amount equal to the Redemption Amount of such funds to purchase the Treasury Portfolio from the Quotation Agent, (ii) credit to the Collateral Account the Applicable
Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio and (iii) promptly remit the remaining portion of such funds to the Purchase Contract Agent for payment to the Holders of Corporate Units, in accordance with their respective interests. 

 
 (b) Upon the occurrence of a Special Event Redemption, (i) the
Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of such term) will be substituted as Collateral for the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes and will be held by the
Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms hereof to secure the Obligation of each Holder of Corporate Units, (ii) the Holders of Corporate Units and the Collateral Agent shall have such rights and obligations, and the Collateral Agent shall
have such security interest, with respect to such Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of such term) as the Holders of Corporate Units and the Collateral Agent had in respect of
the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes, subject to the Pledge thereof, and (iii) any reference in this Agreement to Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes shall be deemed to be a reference to such
Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of such term). The Company may cause to be made in any Corporate Units Certificates thereafter to be issued such change in phraseology and
form (but not in substance) as may be appropriate to reflect the substitution of the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of such term) for Applicable Ownership Interests in
Subordinated Notes as Collateral. 
  
 Section 4.05
Payments to Purchase Contract Agent. The Securities Intermediary shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver any payments required to be made by it to the Purchase Contract Agent hereunder to the account designated by the Purchase
Contract Agent for such purpose not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day such payment is received by the Securities Intermediary; provided, however, that if such payment is received on a day that is not a
Business Day or after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, then the Securities Intermediary shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such payment to the Purchase Contract Agent no later than 10:30 a.m. (New York City time)
on the next succeeding Business Day. 
  
 Section 4.06
Payments Held in Trust. If the Purchase Contract Agent or any Holder shall receive any payments on account of financial assets credited to the Collateral Account (other than interest on the Subordinated Notes or distributions on the
Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (ii) of the definition thereof)) and not released therefrom in accordance with this Agreement, the Purchase Contract Agent or such Holder shall hold such payments
as trustee of an express trust for the benefit of the Company and, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate of the Company so directing, promptly deliver such payments to the Securities Intermediary for credit to the Collateral Account or to
the Company for application to the Obligations of the applicable Holder or Holders, and the Purchase Contract Agent and Holders shall acquire no right, title or interest in any such payments of principal amounts so received. The Purchase Contract
Agent shall have no liability under this Section 4.06 unless and until it has been notified in writing that such payment was delivered to it erroneously and shall have no liability for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken prior to
its receipt of such notice.

pay the Purchase Price in cash, but fails to make such payment as required by Section 5.02(a)(ii), such Holder shall be deemed to have consented to the disposition of the Subordinated Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests
in Subordinated Notes pursuant to each Remarketing as described in Section 5.02(b) below. 
  
 (iv) Promptly after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the sixth Business Day preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Purchase
Contract Agent, based on notices received by the Purchase Contract Agent pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(i) hereof and notice from the Securities Intermediary regarding cash received by it prior to such time, shall notify the Collateral Agent of
the aggregate number of Subordinated Notes to be remarketed in each Remarketing in a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit K hereto. 
  

 36 

 (v) Upon (1) receipt by the Collateral Agent of a notice from the Purchase Contract
Agent promptly after the receipt by the Purchase Contract Agent of a notice from a Holder of Corporate Units that such Holder has elected, in accordance with Section 5.02(a)(i) to effect a Cash Settlement and (2) the payment by such Holder
of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 5.02(a)(ii) above then the Collateral Agent shall: 
  
 (A) instruct the Securities Intermediary promptly to invest any such Cash in Permitted Investments consistent with the instructions of
the Company as provided for below in this Section 5.02(a)(v); 
  
 (B) release from the Pledge the Subordinated Notes underlying the Applicable Ownership Interest in Subordinated Notes related to the Corporate Units as to which such Holder has effected a Cash Settlement; and

  
 (C) instruct the Securities Intermediary to
Transfer all such Subordinated Notes to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to such Holder, in each case free and clear of the Pledge created hereby, whereupon the Purchase Contract Agent shall Transfer such Subordinated Notes in accordance
with written instructions provided by the Holder thereof or, if no such instructions are given to the Purchase Contract Agent by the Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent shall hold such Subordinated Notes, and any interest payment thereon, in the
name of the Purchase Contract Agent or its nominee in trust for the benefit of such Holder until the expiration of the time period specified in the relevant abandoned property laws of the state where such Subordinated Notes and interest payments
thereon, if any, are held. 
  
 The Company shall instruct the
Collateral Agent in writing as to the type of Permitted Investments in which any such Cash shall be invested; provided, however, that if the Company fails to deliver such written instructions by 10:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the
day such Cash is received by the Collateral Agent or to be reinvested by the Securities Intermediary, the Collateral Agent shall instruct the Securities Intermediary to invest such Cash in the Permitted Investments described in clause (6) of
the definition of Permitted Investments. In no event shall the Collateral Agent or Securities Intermediary be liable for the selection of Permitted Investments or for investment losses incurred thereon. The Collateral Agent and Securities
Intermediary shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the failure of the Company to provide timely written investment direction. 
  
 Upon maturity of the Permitted Investments on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Collateral Agent shall, and is hereby authorized to,
(A) instruct the Securities Intermediary to remit to the Company on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date such portion of the proceeds of such Permitted Investments as is equal to the aggregate Purchase Price under all Purchase Contracts in
respect of which Cash Settlement has been affected as provided in this Section 5.02 to the Company on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, and (B) release any amounts in excess of such amount earned from such 
  

 37 

 Permitted Investments to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to the Holders who have effected Cash Settlement
pro-rata in proportion to the amount paid by such Holders under Section 5.02(a)(ii) above. 
  
 (b) Remarketing. (i) Unless a Special Event Redemption or a Termination Event has occurred prior to the Initial Remarketing Date, in order to
dispose of the Subordinated Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes of any Holders of Corporate Units who have not notified the Purchase Contract Agent of their intention to effect a Cash Settlement as provided
in Section 5.02(a)(i) above, or who have so notified the Purchase Contract Agent but failed to make such payment as required by Section 5.02(a)(ii) above, the Company shall engage the Remarketing Agent pursuant to the Remarketing Agreement
to sell such Subordinated Notes. The Purchase Contract Agent, based on the notices specified pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(iv), shall notify the Remarketing Agent, promptly after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the sixth Business Day
immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, of the aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Notes attributable to the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes that are to be remarketed. Concurrently, the
Custodial Agent, based on the notices specified in clause (ii) below of this Section 5.02(b), will present for Remarketing the Separate Subordinated Notes to the Remarketing Agent. 
  
 (ii) Prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the seventh
Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, but no earlier than the Payment Date immediately preceding such date, holders of Separate Subordinated Notes may elect to have their Separate Subordinated Notes remarketed in
all Remarketings under the Remarketing Agreement by delivering their Separate Subordinated Notes, along with a notice of such election, substantially in the form of Exhibit L attached hereto, to the Custodial Agent. After such time, such election
shall become an irrevocable election to have such Separate Subordinated Notes remarketed in all Remarketings. The Custodial Agent shall hold the Separate Subordinated Notes in an account separate from the Collateral Account in which the Subordinated
Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes shall be held. Holders of Separate Subordinated Notes electing to have their Separate Subordinated Notes remarketed will also have the right to withdraw that election
by written notice to the Custodial Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit M hereto, on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the seventh Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, and following such notice
the Custodial Agent shall return such Separate Subordinated Notes to such holder. 
  
 (iii) Upon receipt of notice from the Purchase Contract Agent as set forth in Section 5.02(b)(i) above and receipt of the Separate
Subordinated Notes (if any) from the Custodial Agent, the Remarketing Agent shall, on the Initial Remarketing Date, use reasonable efforts to remarket such Subordinated Notes and such Separate Subordinated Notes at a price (the “Remarketing
Price”) based on the Reset Rate equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of such Subordinated Notes and such Separate Subordinated Notes being remarketed, as provided in the Remarketing Agreement, for settlement on the Purchase
Contract Settlement Date. If, in spite of using its reasonable efforts, the Remarketing Agent cannot remarket such Subordinated Notes and such Separate Subordinated Notes at the Remarketing Price (other than to the Company) for any reason, or the
remarketing has not occurred because a condition precedent to the remarketing has not been fulfilled (in each case, a “Failed Remarketing”) on the Initial Remarketing Date, the Remarketing Agent shall, on the Second Remarketing
Date, use its reasonable efforts to remarket such Subordinated Notes and such Separate Subordinated Notes at the Remarketing Price for settlement on the Purchase Contract 
  

 38 

 Settlement Date. If, in spite of the Remarketing Agent’s reasonable efforts, a Failed Remarketing
shall have occurred on the Second Remarketing Date, the Remarketing Agent shall, on the Final Remarketing Date, use reasonable efforts to remarket such Subordinated Notes and such Separate Subordinated Notes at the Remarketing Price for settlement
on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. 
  
 (iv) If the Remarketing Agent is able to remarket such Subordinated Notes and such Separate Subordinated Notes (if any) in any Remarketing (to parties other than the Company) in accordance with the Remarketing Agreement (a
“Successful Remarketing”), the Collateral Agent shall: 
  
 (A) on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, instruct the Securities Intermediary to Transfer the Subordinated Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes to the Remarketing Agent
upon confirmation of deposit by the Remarketing Agent of the Proceeds of such Remarketing attributable to such Subordinated Notes in the Collateral Account; and 
  
 (B) on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, in consultation with the Purchase Contract Agent, instruct
the Securities Intermediary to remit a portion of such Proceeds equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Subordinated Notes to satisfy in full the Obligations of Holders of Corporate Units to pay the Purchase Price for the shares of Common
Stock under the related Purchase Contracts, and to remit the balance of such Proceeds, if any, to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to Holders. 
  
 On the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Company shall pay the Remarketing Fee to the Remarketing Agent in accordance with the Remarketing Agreement.
With respect to the remarketed Separate Subordinated Notes, upon a Successful Remarketing, any proceeds of the Successful Remarketing attributable to the Separate Subordinated Notes will be remitted to the Custodial Agent for payment on the Purchase
Contract Settlement Date to the holders of Separate Subordinated Notes who submitted such Separate Subordinated Notes for remarketing pursuant hereto. 
  
 (v) Following a Failed Remarketing on the Final Remarketing Date (a “Failed Final Remarketing”), as of the Purchase
Contract Settlement Date, each Holder of any Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes, unless such Holder has delivered the Purchase Price to the Securities Intermediary for deposit in the Collateral Account prior to 5:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on the second 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 immediately available funds payable to or upon the
order of the Securities Intermediary, shall be deemed to have exercised such Holder’s Put Right with respect to the Subordinated Notes underlying such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes and to have elected to have a
portion of the Proceeds of the Put Right set-off against such Holder’s obligation to pay the aggregate Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock to be issued under the related Purchase Contracts in full satisfaction of such Holders’
obligations under such Purchase Contracts. Following such set-off, each such Holder’s obligations to pay the Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock will be deemed to 
  

 39 

 be satisfied in full, and the Collateral Agent shall cause the Securities Intermediary to release the
Subordinated Notes underlying such Pledged Applicable Interests in Subordinated Notes from the Collateral Account and shall promptly transfer such Subordinated Notes to the Company. Thereafter, the Collateral Agent shall promptly remit the remaining
portion of the Proceeds of the Holder’s exercise of the Put Right in excess of the aggregate Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock to be issued under such Purchase Contracts to the Purchase Contract Agent for payment to the Holder of
the Corporate Units to which such Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes relate. 
  
 (vi) Not later than 20 Business Days prior to the Initial Remarketing Date, the Company shall request the Depositary or its nominee to
notify the Beneficial Owners or Depositary Participants holding Units and Separate Subordinated Notes of the procedures to be followed in each Remarketing including, in the case of a Failed Final Remarketing, the procedures that must be followed by
a holder of Separate Subordinated Notes if such Holder wishes to exercise its Put Right or by a Holder if such Holder elects not to exercise its Put Right. 
  
 (vii) The Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that, if required by applicable law, (x) a registration
statement, including a prospectus, under the Securities Act with regard to the full amount of the Subordinated Notes to be remarketed in each Remarketing in each case in a form that may be used by the Remarketing Agent in connection with such
Remarketing shall be effective with the Securities and Exchange Commission and (y) to make available copies of such prospectus. 
  
 (viii) The Company shall issue a press release and cause a notice of any Failed Final Remarketing to be published on its website (with a
copy of such notice to be provided to the Purchase Contract Agent) before 9:00 a.m. New York City time on the Business Day immediately following such Failed Final Remarketing. The press release to be issued under this subsection shall be published
by making a timely release to an appropriate news agency such as Bloomberg Business News or the Dow Jones News Service. 
  
 (c) In the case of a Treasury Unit or a Corporate Unit (if Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio have replaced the Applicable Ownership
Interests in Subordinated Notes as a component of such Corporate Unit), upon the maturity of the Pledged Treasury Securities or the appropriate Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio held by the Securities Intermediary on
or prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the principal amount of the Treasury Securities or the appropriate Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio received by the Securities
Intermediary shall be invested promptly in Permitted Investments. On the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, an amount equal to the Purchase Price for all related Purchase Contracts shall be remitted to the Company as payment of such Holder’s
Obligations under such Purchase Contracts without receiving any instructions from the Holder. In the event the sum of the Proceeds from either the related Pledged Treasury Securities or the related Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the
Treasury Portfolio and the Proceeds from such Permitted Investments is in excess of the aggregate Purchase Price, the Collateral Agent shall cause the Securities Intermediary to distribute such excess, when received by the Securities Intermediary,
to the Purchase Contract Agent for the benefit of the Holder of the related Treasury Units or Corporate Units, as applicable. 
  

 40 

 (d) The obligations of the Holders to pay the Purchase Price are non-recourse obligations and, except to
the extent satisfied by Early Settlement, Cash Merger Early Settlement or Cash Settlement or terminated upon a Termination Event, are payable solely out of the proceeds of any Collateral pledged to secure the obligations of the Holders, and in no
event will Holders be liable for any deficiency between the proceeds of the disposition of Collateral and the Purchase Price. 
  
 (e) The Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock in respect of a Purchase Contract or deliver any certificates thereof to the
Holder of the related Units unless the Company shall have received payment for the Common Stock to be purchased thereunder in the manner herein set forth. 
  
 Section 5.03 Issuance of Shares of Common Stock. Unless a Termination Event, an Early Settlement or a Cash Merger Early Settlement shall have
occurred, subject to Section 5.04(b), on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date upon receipt of the aggregate Purchase Price payable on all Outstanding Units in accordance with Section 5.02 above, the Company shall issue and deposit with the
Purchase Contract Agent, for the benefit of the Holders of the Outstanding Units, one or more certificates representing newly issued shares of Common Stock registered in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent (or its nominee) as custodian for the
Holders (such certificates for shares of Common Stock, together with any dividends or distributions for which a record date and payment date for such dividend or distribution has occurred after the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, being
hereinafter referred to as the “Purchase Contract Settlement Fund”) to which the Holders are entitled hereunder. 
  
 Subject to the foregoing, upon surrender of a Certificate to the Purchase Contract Agent on or after the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, Early
Settlement Date or Cash Merger Early Settlement Date, as the case may be, together with settlement instructions thereon duly completed and executed, the Holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive forthwith in exchange therefor a
certificate representing that number of newly issued whole shares of Common Stock which such Holder is entitled to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article 5 (after taking into account all Units then held by such Holder), together with
cash in lieu of fractional shares as provided in Section 5.08 and any dividends or distributions with respect to such shares constituting part of the Purchase Contract Settlement Fund, but without any interest thereon, and the Certificate so
surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Such shares shall be registered in the name of the Holder or the Holder’s designee as specified in the settlement instructions provided by the Holder to the Purchase Contract Agent. If any shares of
Common Stock issued in respect of a Purchase Contract are to be registered in the name of a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate evidencing such Purchase Contract is registered (but excluding any Depositary or nominee thereof),
no such registration shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such registration has paid any transfer and other taxes (including any applicable stamp taxes) required by reason of such registration in a name other than that of the
registered Holder of the Certificate evidencing such Purchase Contract or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax either has been paid or is not payable. 
  
 Section 5.04 Adjustment of each Fixed Settlement Rate. (a) Adjustments for Dividends, Distributions, Stock Splits,
Etc. 
  
 (i) In case the Company shall pay or
make a dividend or other distribution on Common Stock in Common Stock, each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect at the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution
shall be increased by multiplying each Fixed Settlement Rate by a fraction of which: 
  
 (A) the numerator shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of 
  

 41 

 business on the date fixed for such determination and the total number of shares constituting such
dividend or other distribution; and 
  
 (B) the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination, 
  
 such increase in each Fixed Settlement Rate to become effective immediately at the opening of business on the Business Day following the date fixed for such
determination. For the purposes of this paragraph (i), 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 agrees that it shall not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company. 
  
 (ii) In case the Company shall issue rights, warrants or
options, other than pursuant to any dividend reinvestment plans or share purchase plans, to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them, 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 of announcement of such issuance, each Fixed Settlement Rate
in effect at the close of business on the date of such announcement shall be increased by multiplying such Fixed Settlement Rate by a fraction of which: 
  
 (A) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date of such announcement
plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase; and 
  
 (B) the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date of such announcement
plus the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase in the manner described in this Section 5.04(a)(ii) would purchase at the
Current Market Price on the date of such announcement, 
  
 such increase in each
Fixed Settlement Rate to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Business Day following the date of such announcement. The Company agrees that it shall notify the Purchase Contract Agent if any issuance of such rights,
warrants or options is cancelled or not completed following the announcement thereof and each Fixed Settlement Rate shall thereupon immediately be readjusted to the Fixed Settlement Rate that would then be in effect if such issuance had not been
declared. For the purposes of this clause (ii), 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 agrees that it shall not issue any such rights, warrants or options in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company. 
  

 42 

 (iii) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or split into a
greater number of shares of Common Stock, each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect at the close of business on the day preceding 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, each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect at the close of business on the day preceding the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall
be proportionately decreased, such increase or decrease, as the case may be, to become effective immediately at the opening of business on the Business Day following the day upon which such subdivision, split or combination becomes effective.

  
 (iv) (w) In case the Company shall, by
dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including shares of capital stock, securities, cash and property but excluding any rights, warrants or options referred to in Section
5.04(a)(ii) above, any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash and any dividend or distribution referred to in Section 5.04(a)(i) above) (any of the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 5.04(a)(iv) called the “Distributed
Property”), each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect at the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted by multiplying each Fixed Settlement Rate by a
fraction of which: 
  
 (A) the numerator shall
be such Current Market Price per share of Common Stock; and 
  
 (B) the denominator shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination less the then fair market value of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so
distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and the basis for which shall be described in a Board Resolution), 
  
 such adjustment to each Fixed Settlement Rate to become effective at the opening of business
on the Business Day following the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution; provided that if the fair market value of the Distributed Property applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to
or greater than the Current Market Price on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to
receive upon settlement the amount of Distributed Property such Holder would have received had such Holder settled each Purchase Contract on the date fixed for such determination as if the Purchase Contract Settlement Date were such date fixed for
such determination. In any case in which this Section 5.04(a)(iv) is applicable, Section 5.04(a)(ii) shall not be applicable. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, each Fixed Settlement Rate shall again be adjusted
to be the Fixed Settlement Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. 
  
 (x) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Distributed Property distributed by the Company to all holders of its Common Stock consist of capital stock of,
or similar equity interests in, a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, clause (w) above shall not apply and instead each Fixed Settlement Rate shall be increased so that each Fixed Settlement Rate shall be equal to the rate determined
by multiplying each such rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date with respect to such distribution by a fraction of which, 
  

 43 

 (C) the numerator shall be the sum of (A) the average of the Closing Prices of the
Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days commencing on and including the fifth Trading Day after the date on which “ex-dividend trading” commences for such dividend or distribution on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq
National Market or such other national or regional exchange or market on which such securities are then listed or quoted (the “Ex-Dividend Date”) plus (B) the average Closing Prices of the securities distributed in respect of
each share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days commencing on and including the fifth Trading Day after the Ex-Dividend Date; and 
  
 (D) the denominator shall be the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days commencing
on and including the fifth Trading Day after the Ex-Dividend Date, 
  
 such
adjustment to each Fixed Settlement Rate to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the Business Day following the record date with respect to such distribution. In any case in which this paragraph (x) is applicable, Section
5.02(a)(i), Section 5.02(a)(ii) and paragraph (w) of this Section 5.04(a)(iv) shall not be applicable. 
  
 (y) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.04(a), rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common
Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events
(“Trigger Event”) (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been
distributed for purposes of this Section 5.04(a) (and no adjustment to each Fixed Settlement Rate under this Section 5.04(a) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options and warrants shall be
deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to each Fixed Settlement Rate shall be made under this Section 5.04(a)(iv). In addition, in the event of any distribution of rights, options or warrants, or any
Trigger Event with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to each Fixed Settlement Rate under this Section 5.04(a) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or
warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, each Fixed Settlement Rate shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the
case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such
rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders
thereof, each Fixed Settlement Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued. 
  
 (z) For purposes of this Section 5.04(a)(iv) and Section 5.02(a)(i) and Section 5.04(a)(ii), any dividend or distribution to which this Section
5.04(a)(iv) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of
indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights, options or warrants (and any 
  

 44 

 Settlement Rate adjustment required by this Section 5.04(a)(iv) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then
be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights, options or warrants (and any further Settlement Rate adjustment required by Section 5.04(a)(i) and Section 5.04(a)(ii) with respect to
such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the record date of such dividend or distribution shall be deemed to be “the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other
distribution”, “the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants” and “the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Section 5.04(a)(i) and Section
5.04(a)(ii) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or
other distribution” or “outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Section 5.04(a)(i). 
  

(v) In case the Company shall make any dividend or distribution consisting exclusively of cash to all holders of outstanding shares of
Common Stock (excluding any dividend or distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or termination of the Company), then each Fixed Settlement Rate will be adjusted by multiplying each Fixed Settlement Rate in effect immediately
prior to the close of business on the record date with respect to such dividend or distribution by a fraction of which, 
  
 (A) the numerator is the Current Market Price on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
distribution; and 
  
 (B) the denominator is
such Current Market Price, minus the amount per share of such dividend or distribution, 
  
 such adjustment to each Fixed Settlement Rate to be effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the Business Day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
distribution; and provided further that if the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such distribution, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon settlement the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder settled each
Purchase Contract on the date fixed for such determination as if the Purchase Contract Settlement Date were such date fixed for such determination. 
  
 (vi) In case a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock
shall expire and such tender or exchange offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders of consideration per share of Common Stock having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose
determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) that as of the last time at which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended) (the “Expiration
Time”) exceeds the Closing Price of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, each Fixed Settlement Rate shall be increased so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying each Fixed
Settlement Rate in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Time by a fraction of which, 
  

 45 

 (A) the numerator shall be equal to the sum of (1) the fair market value, as
determined by the Board of Directors (as described above in this Section 5.04(a)(vi)), of the aggregate consideration payable for all shares of Common Stock that the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, as the case may be, purchased in such
tender or exchange offer (the “Purchased Shares”) and (2) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, less any Purchased Shares, and the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the
Expiration Time, and 
  
 (B) the denominator
shall be equal to the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, including the Purchased Shares, and the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, 
  
 such adjustment to each Fixed Settlement Rate to become effective immediately prior to the
opening of business on the Business Day following the Expiration Time. If the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such
purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, each Fixed Settlement Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Fixed Settlement Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made. 
  
 (vii) The reclassification of Common Stock into securities
including securities other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon a Reorganization Event to which Section 5.04(b) applies) shall be deemed to involve: 
  
 (A) 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 (iv) of this Section); and 
  
 (B) 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 this Section 5.04(a)(iii). 
  
 (viii) [Reserved.] 
  
 (ix) All adjustments to each Fixed Settlement Rate shall be calculated to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share of Common Stock (or if there
is not a 
  

 46 

 nearest 1/10,000th of a share, to the next lower 1/10,000th of a share). If any adjustments are made to
each Fixed Settlement Rate pursuant to this Section 5.04(a), an adjustment shall also be made to the Applicable Market Value solely to determine which of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the definition of Settlement Rate in Section 5.01(a) will apply
on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or any Cash Merger Early Settlement Date. Such adjustment shall be made by multiplying the Applicable Market Value by the Adjustment Factor. The “Adjustment Factor” means, initially, a fraction the
numerator of which shall be the Maximum Settlement Rate immediately after the first adjustment to each Fixed Settlement Rate pursuant to this Section 5.04(a) and the denominator of which shall be the Maximum Settlement Rate immediately prior to such
adjustment. Each time an adjustment is required to be made to each Fixed Settlement Rate pursuant to this Section 5.04(a), the Adjustment Factor shall be multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the Maximum Settlement Rate
immediately after such adjustment to each Fixed Settlement Rate pursuant to this Section 5.04(a) and the denominator of which shall be the Maximum Settlement Rate immediately prior to such adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any adjustment
to each Fixed Settlement Rate is required to be made pursuant to the occurrence of any of the events contemplated by this Section 5.04(a) during the period taken into consideration for determining the Applicable Market Value, the 20 individual
Closing Prices used to determine the Applicable Market Value shall be adjusted rather than the Applicable Market Value and the Applicable Market Value shall be determined by (A) multiplying the Closing Prices for Trading Days prior to such
adjustment to each Fixed Settlement Rate by the Adjustment Factor in effect prior to such adjustment, (B) multiplying the Closing Prices for Trading Days following such adjustment by the Adjustment Factor reflecting such adjustment, and (C) dividing
the sum of all such adjusted Closing Prices by 20. 
  
 (x) The Company may, but shall not be required to, make such increases in each Fixed Settlement Rate, in addition to those required by this Section 5.04(a), as the Board of Directors considers to be advisable. The Company may make such a
discretionary adjustment only if it makes the same proportionate adjustment to each Fixed Settlement Rate. 
  
 (xi) If the Company hereafter adopts any stockholder rights plan involving the issuance of preference share purchase rights or other
similar rights (the “Rights”) to all holders of the Common Stock, a Holder shall be entitled to receive upon settlement of any Purchase Contract, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon settlement of such Purchase
Contract, the related Rights for the Common Stock, unless such Rights under the future stockholder rights plan have separated from the Common Stock at the time of conversion, in which case each Fixed Settlement Rate shall be adjusted as provided in
Section 5.04(a)(iv) on the date such Rights separate from the Common Stock. 
  
 (b) Adjustment for Consolidation, Merger or Other Reorganization Event. 
  
 (i) In the event of: 
  
 (A) 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); 
  

 47 

 (B) any sale, transfer, lease or conveyance to another Person of the property of the
Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety; 
  
 (C) any statutory share exchange of the Company with another Person (other than in connection with a merger or acquisition); or 
  

(D) any liquidation, dissolution or termination of the Company other than as a result of or after the occurrence of a Termination
Event (any event described in clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D), a “Reorganization Event”), 
  
 each Holder will receive, in lieu of shares of Common Stock, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date or any Early 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 if such dividends or distributions have a record date that is prior to the
Purchase Contract Settlement Date) by a Holder of one share of Common Stock (the “Exchange Property”), multiplied by the applicable Settlement Rate. The kind and amount of Exchange Property will be determined assuming such holder of
one Share of Common Stock is not a Person with which the Company consolidated or into which the Company merged or which merged into the Company or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be (any such Person, a “Constituent
Person”), or an Affiliate of a Constituent Person to the extent such Reorganization Event provides for different treatment of Common Stock held by Affiliates of the Company and non-affiliates and such Holder failed to exercise its 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 a Person other than a Constituent Person or an Affiliate thereof and in respect of which rights of election shall not have been exercised
(“non-electing share”), then for the purpose of this Section 5.04(b)(i) the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Reorganization Event shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per
share by a plurality of the non-electing shares). 
  
 For purposes
of determining the applicable Settlement Rate under this Section 5.04(b)(i) and Section 5.04(b)(ii), the term “Applicable Market Value” shall be deemed to refer to the “Applicable Market Value” of the Exchange Property, and such
value shall be determined (A) with respect to any publicly traded securities that compose all or part of the Exchange Property, based on the Closing Price of such securities, (B) in the case of any cash that composes all or part of the Exchange
Property, based on the amount of such cash and (C) in the case of any other property that composes all or part of the Exchange Property, based on the value of such property, as determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking
firm retained by the Company for this purpose; provided that prior to the separation of the Rights or any similar stockholder rights from the Common Stock, such Rights or similar stockholder rights shall be deemed to have no value. For the
purposes of this paragraph only, the term “Closing Price” shall be deemed to refer to the closing sale price, last quoted bid price or mid-point of the last bid and ask prices, as the case may be, of any publicly traded securities that
comprise all or part of the Exchange Property and the term “Trading Day” shall be deemed to refer to any publicly traded securities that comprise all or part of the Exchange Property. 
  

 48 

 In the event of such a Reorganization Event, the Person formed by such consolidation, merger or exchange
or the Person that acquires the assets of the Company 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 Unit shall have the rights provided by this Section 5.04(b)(i). Such supplemental agreement shall provide for adjustments which, for events subsequent to
the effective date of such supplemental agreement, shall be, in the sole judgment of the parties executing such agreement, as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 5.04. The above provisions of this
Section 5.04 shall similarly apply to successive Reorganization Events. 
  
 (ii) In the event, prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, 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), or the sale by the Company of all or substantially all of its assets, in each case in which 30% or more of the total consideration paid
to the Company’s shareholders consists of cash or cash equivalents (a “Cash Merger”), then a Holder of a Unit may settle (“Cash Merger Early Settlement”) its Purchase Contract, upon the conditions set forth
below, at the Settlement Rate in effect immediately prior to the closing of the Cash Merger; provided that no Cash Merger Early Settlement will be permitted pursuant to this Section 5.04(b)(ii) unless, at the time such Cash Merger Early
Settlement is effected, there is an effective Registration Statement with respect to any securities to be issued and delivered in connection with such Cash Merger Early Settlement, if such a Registration Statement is required (in the view of
counsel, which need not be in the form of a written opinion, for the Company) under the Securities Act. If such a Registration Statement is so required, the Company covenants and agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to (x) have in
effect a Registration Statement covering any securities to be delivered in respect of the Purchase Contracts being settled and (y) provide a Prospectus in connection therewith, in each case in a form that may be used in connection with such Cash
Merger Early Settlement. The Company shall pay such amount as a credit against the amount otherwise payable by such Holder to effect such Cash Merger Early Settlement. 
  
 Within five Business Days of the completion of a Cash Merger, the Company shall provide written notice to Holders of such
completion of a Cash Merger, which shall specify the deadline for submitting the notice to settle early in cash pursuant to this Section 5.04(b)(ii), the date on which such Cash Merger Early Settlement shall occur (which date shall be at least five
days after the date of such written notice by the Company, but which shall in no event be later than the earlier of 20 days after the date of such written notice by the Company and the fifth Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract
Settlement Date) (the “Cash Merger Early Settlement Date”), the applicable Settlement Rate and the amount (per share of Common Stock) of cash, securities and other consideration receivable by the Holder upon settlement. 

 
 Corporate Units Holders (unless Applicable Ownership Interests in the
Treasury Portfolio have replaced Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes as a component of the Corporate Units) and Treasury Units Holders may only effect Cash Merger Early Settlement pursuant to this Section 5.04(b)(ii) in integral
multiples of 40 Corporate Units or Treasury Units, as the case may be. If Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio have replaced Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes as a component of the Corporate Units, Corporate
Units Holders may only effect Cash Merger Early Settlement pursuant to this Section 5.04(b)(ii) in multiples of [            ] Corporate Units. Other than the provisions relating to
timing of notice and settlement, which shall be as set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, the provisions of Section 5.01 shall apply with respect to a Cash Merger Early Settlement pursuant to this Section 5.04(b)(ii). 
  

 49 

 In order to exercise the right to effect Cash Merger Early Settlement with respect to any Purchase
Contracts, the Holder of the Certificate evidencing Units shall deliver, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day immediately preceding the Cash Merger Early Settlement Date, such Certificate to the Purchase Contract
Agent at the Corporate Trust Office duly endorsed for transfer to the Company or in blank with the form of Election to Settle Early on the reverse thereof duly completed and accompanied by payment (payable to the Company in immediately available
funds) in an amount equal to the product of (A) the Stated Amount times (B) the number of Purchase Contracts with respect to which the Holder has elected to effect Cash Merger Early Settlement 
  
 Upon receipt of such Certificate and payment of such funds, the Purchase
Contract Agent shall pay the Company from such funds the related Purchase Price pursuant to the terms of the related Purchase Contracts, and notify the Collateral Agent that all the conditions necessary for a Cash Merger Early Settlement by a Holder
have been satisfied pursuant to which the Purchase Contract Agent has received from such Holder, and paid to the Company as confirmed in writing by the Company, the related Purchase Price. 
  
 Upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of the notice from the Purchase Contract
Agent set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, the Collateral Agent shall release from the Pledge, (1) the Subordinated Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes or the Pledged Applicable Ownership
Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, in the case of a Holder of Corporate Units or (2) the Pledged Treasury Securities, in the case of a Holder of Treasury Units, in each case with a Value equal to the product of (x) the Stated Amount and (y) the
number of Purchase Contracts as to which such Holder has elected to effect Cash Merger Early Settlement, and shall instruct the Securities Intermediary to Transfer all such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or
Subordinated Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes or Pledged Treasury Securities, as the case may be, to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to such Holder, in each case free and clear of the Pledge
created hereby. 
  
 If a Holder properly effects an effective Cash
Merger Early Settlement in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.04(b)(ii), the Company will deliver (or will cause the Collateral Agent to deliver) to the Holder on the Cash Merger Early Settlement Date: 
  
 (A) the kind and amount of securities, cash and other
property receivable upon such Cash Merger 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 Cash Merger (based on the
Settlement Rate in effect at such time), assuming such Holder of Common Stock is not a Constituent Person or an Affiliate of a Constituent Person to the extent such Cash Merger provides for different treatment of Common Stock held by Affiliates of
the Company and non-affiliates and such Holder failed to exercise its rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Cash Merger (provided that if the kind or amount of
securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Cash 
  

 50 

 Merger is not the same for each non-electing share, then for the purpose of this
Section 5.04(b)(ii), the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Cash Merger 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). For the avoidance of doubt, for the purposes of determining the Applicable Market Value (in connection with determining the appropriate Settlement Rate to be applied in the foregoing sentence), the date of the closing of the Cash Merger
shall be deemed to be the Purchase Contract Settlement Date; 
  
 (B) the Subordinated Notes, the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or Treasury Securities, as the case may be, related to the Purchase Contracts with respect to which the Holder is effecting a
Cash Merger Early Settlement; and 
  
 (C) if so
required under the Securities Act, a Prospectus as contemplated by this Section 5.04(b)(ii). 
  
 The Corporate Units or the Treasury Units of the Holders who do not elect Cash Merger Early Settlement in accordance with the foregoing will continue to
remain outstanding and be subject to settlement on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date in accordance with the terms hereof. 
  
 (c) All calculations and determinations pursuant to this Section 5.04 shall be made by the Company or its agent and the Purchase Contract Agent shall
have no responsibility with respect to this Agreement. 
  
 Section 5.05 Notice of Adjustments and Certain Other Events. (a) Whenever the Fixed Settlement Rates are adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall within 10 Business Days following the occurrence of an event that
requires an adjustment to each Fixed Settlement Rate pursuant to Section 5.04 (or if the Company is not aware of such occurrence, as soon as practicable after becoming so aware): 
  
 (i) compute each adjusted Fixed Settlement Rate in accordance with Section 5.04 and prepare and
transmit to the Purchase Contract Agent an Officers’ Certificate setting forth each Fixed Settlement Rate, the method of calculation thereof in reasonable detail, and the facts requiring such adjustment and upon which such adjustment is based;
and 
  
 (ii) provide a written notice to the
Holders of the Units of the occurrence of such event and a statement in reasonable detail setting forth the method by which the adjustment to each Fixed Settlement Rate was determined and setting forth each adjusted Fixed Settlement Rate.

  
 (b) The Purchase Contract Agent shall not at any time be under
any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of each Fixed Settlement Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to
the method employed in making the same. The Purchase Contract Agent shall be fully authorized and protected in relying on any Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.05(a)(i) and any adjustment contained therein and the
Purchase Contract Agent shall not be 
  

 51 

 deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment unless and until it has received such certificate. The Purchase Contract Agent
shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities or property, which may at the time be issued or delivered with respect to any Purchase Contract; and the
Purchase Contract Agent makes no representation with respect thereto. The Purchase Contract Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Purchase Contract or to
comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article 5. 
  
 Section 5.06 Termination Event; Notice. 
  
 The Purchase Contracts and all obligations and rights of the Company and the Holders thereunder and the rights and obligations of Holders to purchase
Common Stock, shall immediately and automatically terminate, without the necessity of any notice or action by any Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent or the Company, if, prior to or on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, a Termination Event shall
have occurred. 
  
 Upon and after the occurrence of a Termination
Event, the Units shall thereafter represent the right to receive the Subordinated Notes underlying the Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes, the Treasury Securities or the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, as
the case may be, forming part of such Units, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.15 hereof. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Company shall promptly but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter give written
notice to the Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Holders, at their addresses as they appear in the Security Register. 
  
 Section 5.07 Early Settlement. (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.07, at the option of the
Holder thereof, Purchase Contracts underlying Units may be settled early (“Early Settlement”) at any time after [    ], 2005 but prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the seventh Business Day
immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date (in the case of Corporate Units, unless a Special Event Redemption has occurred) or the second Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date (in the case of
Treasury Units or Corporate Units after the occurrence of a Special Event Redemption); provided that no Early Settlement will be permitted pursuant to this Section 5.07 unless, at the time such Early Settlement is effected, there is an
effective Registration Statement with respect to any securities to be issued and delivered in connection with such Early Settlement, if such a Registration Statement is required (in the view of counsel, which need not be in the form of a written
opinion, for the Company) under the Securities Act. If such a Registration Statement is so required, the Company covenants and agrees to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to (i) have in effect a Registration Statement covering any
securities to be delivered in respect of the Purchase Contracts being settled and (ii) provide a Prospectus in connection therewith, in each case in a form that may be used in connection with such Early Settlement (it being understood that if
there is a material business transaction or development that has not yet been publicly disclosed, the Company will not be required to provide such a Prospectus, and the right to effect Early Settlement will not be available, until the Company has
publicly disclosed such transaction or development, provided that the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to make such disclosure as soon as it is commercially reasonable to do so). 
  
 (b) In order to exercise the right to effect Early Settlement with respect to
any Purchase Contracts, the Holder of the Certificate evidencing Units (in the case of Certificates in definitive certificated form) shall deliver, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the seventh Business Day immediately preceding
the Purchase Contract Settlement Date (in the case of Corporate Units, unless a Special Event Redemption has occurred) or the second Business Day immediately 
  

 52 

 preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date (in the case of Treasury Units or Corporate Units after the occurrence of
a Special Event Redemption), such Certificate to the Purchase Contract Agent at the Corporate Trust Office duly endorsed for transfer to the Company or in blank with the form of Election to Settle Early on the reverse thereof duly completed and
accompanied by payment (payable to the Company in immediately available funds) in an amount (the “Early Settlement Amount”) equal to the product of (A) the Stated Amount and (B) the number of Purchase Contracts with
respect to which the Holder has elected to effect Early Settlement 
  
 In the case of Book-Entry Interests, each Beneficial Owner electing Early Settlement must deliver the Early Settlement Amount to the Purchase Contract Agent along with a facsimile of the Election to Settle Early form duly completed, make
book-entry transfer of such Book-Entry Interests and comply with the applicable procedures of the Depositary. 
  
 If the foregoing requirements are first satisfied with respect to Purchase Contracts underlying any Units at or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on
a Business Day, such day shall be the “Early Settlement Date” with respect to such Units and if such requirements are first satisfied after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day, the
Early Settlement Date with respect to such Units shall be the next succeeding Business Day. 
  
 Upon the receipt of such Certificate and Early Settlement Amount from the Holder, the Purchase Contract Agent shall pay to the Company such Early Settlement Amount, the receipt of which payment the Company shall
confirm in writing. The Purchase Contract Agent shall then notify the Collateral Agent that (A) such Holder has elected to effect an Early Settlement, which notice shall set forth the number of such Purchase Contracts as to which such Holder
has elected to effect Early Settlement, (B) the Purchase Contract Agent has received from such Holder, and paid to the Company as confirmed in writing by the Company, the related Early Settlement Amount and (C) all conditions to such Early
Settlement have been satisfied. 
  
 Upon receipt by the Collateral
Agent of the notice from the Purchase Contract Agent set forth in the preceding paragraph, the Collateral Agent shall release from the Pledge, (1) in the case of a Holder of Corporate Units, the Subordinated Notes underlying the Pledged
Applicable Ownership Interest in Subordinated Notes, or the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, relating to the Purchase Contracts to which Early Settlement is effected, or (2) in the case of a
Holder of Treasury Units, Pledged Treasury Securities, in each case with a Value equal to the product of (x) the Stated Amount times (y) the number of Purchase Contracts as to which such Holder has elected to effect Early Settlement, and
shall instruct the Securities Intermediary to Transfer all such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or Subordinated Notes underlying such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes or Pledged Treasury
Securities, as the case may be, to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to such Holder, in each case free and clear of the Pledge created hereby. 
  
 Holders of Corporate Units and Treasury Units may only effect Early Settlement pursuant to this Section 5.07 in integral multiples of 40 Treasury
Units. If Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio have replaced Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes as a component of the Corporate Units, Corporate Units Holders may only effect Early Settlement pursuant to this
Section 5.07 in integral multiples of [    ] Corporate Units. 
  
 (c) Upon Early Settlement of Purchase Contracts by a Holder of the related Units, the Company shall issue, and the Holder shall be entitled to receive, a number of shares of Common Stock (or in the case of an Early
Settlement following a Reorganization Event, a number of units of Exchange Property) equal to the Minimum Settlement Rate for each Purchase Contract as to which Early Settlement is effected. 
  

 53 

 (d) No later than the third Business Day after the applicable Early Settlement Date, the Company shall
cause the shares of Common Stock issuable upon Early Settlement of Purchase Contracts to be issued and delivered, together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 5.08. 
  
 (e) Upon Early Settlement of any Purchase Contracts, and subject to receipt
of shares of Common Stock from the Company and the Subordinated Notes, the Applicable Ownership Interests 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 Units: 
  
 (i) transfer to the Holder the Subordinated Notes, the
Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio or Treasury Securities, as the case may be, related to such Units, 
  
 (ii) deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the full number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Early
Settlement, together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share, as provided in Section 5.08, and 
  
 (iii) if so required under the Securities Act, deliver a Prospectus for the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Early Settlement as
contemplated by Section 5.07(a). 
  
 (f) In the event that
Early Settlement is effected with respect to Purchase Contracts underlying less than all the Units evidenced by a Certificate, upon such Early Settlement the Company shall execute and the Purchase Contract Agent shall execute on behalf of the
Holder, authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a Certificate evidencing the Units as to which Early Settlement was not effected. 
  
 Section 5.08 No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock
shall be issued or delivered upon settlement on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, or upon Early Settlement or Cash Merger Early Settlement of any Purchase Contracts. If Certificates evidencing more than one Purchase Contract shall be
surrendered for settlement at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock which shall be delivered upon settlement shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Purchase Contracts evidenced by the Certificates
so surrendered. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock which would otherwise be deliverable upon settlement of any Purchase Contracts on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, or upon Early Settlement or Cash Merger Early Settlement, the
Company, through the Purchase Contract Agent, shall make a cash payment in respect of such fractional interest in an amount equal to the percentage of such fractional share multiplied by the Applicable Market Value calculated as if the date of such
settlement were the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. The Company shall provide the Purchase Contract Agent from time to time with sufficient funds to permit the Purchase Contract Agent to make all cash payments required by this Section 5.08
in a timely manner. 
  
 Section 5.09 Charges and
Taxes. The Company will pay all stock transfer and similar taxes attributable to the initial issuance and delivery of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Contracts; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to pay any such tax or taxes which 
  

 54 

 may be payable in respect of any exchange of or substitution for a Certificate evidencing a Unit or any issuance of a
share of Common Stock in a name other than that of the registered Holder of a Certificate surrendered in respect of the Units evidenced thereby, other than in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent, as custodian for such Holder, and the Company
shall not be required to issue or deliver such share certificates or Certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the transfer or issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to
the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. 
  
 ARTICLE 6 
  
 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF HOLDERS

  
 Section 6.01 Unconditional Right of Holders to
Purchase Shares of Common Stock. Each Holder of a Unit shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, except upon and following a Termination Event, to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Purchase Contract and, in each
such case, to institute suit for the enforcement of any such right to purchase shares of Common Stock, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 
  
 Section 6.02 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If any Holder 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 such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company
and such Holder shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of such Holder shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
  
 Section 6.03 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise
provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificates in the last paragraph of Section 3.10, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Holders 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 6.04 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of any Holder 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 6 or by law to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by such Holders.

  
 Section 6.05 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to
this Agreement agree, and each Holder of a Unit, by its acceptance of such Unit shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court of competent jurisdiction may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Agreement, or in any suit against the Purchase Contract Agent for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Purchase Contract Agent, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such
court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant;
provided that the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Purchase Contract Agent, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Units, or
to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of interest on any Subordinated Notes owed pursuant to such Holder’s Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes on or after the respective Payment Date therefor in respect of
any Unit held by such Holder, or for enforcement of the right to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Purchase Contracts constituting part of any Unit held by such Holder. 
  

 55 

 Section 6.06 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, that 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 Purchase Contract Agent or the Holders, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 
  
 ARTICLE 7 
  
 THE PURCHASE CONTRACT AGENT 
  
 Section 7.01 Certain Duties and Responsibilities. 
  
 (a) The Purchase Contract Agent: 
  
 (i) undertakes to perform, with respect to the Units, such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and
the Remarketing Agreement to be performed by the Purchase Contract Agent and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or the Remarketing Agreement against the Purchase Contract Agent; and 
  
 (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, may, with
respect to the Units, conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Purchase Contract Agent and conforming to the requirements of this
Agreement or the Remarketing Agreement, as applicable, but in the case of any certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Purchase Contract Agent, the Purchase Contract Agent shall be under
a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Agreement or the Remarketing Agreement, as applicable (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of the mathematical calculations or other facts
stated therein). 
  
 (b) No provision of this Agreement or the
Remarketing Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Purchase Contract Agent from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
  
 (i) this Section 7.01(b) shall not be construed to
limit the effect of Section 7.01(a); 
  
 (ii) the Purchase Contract Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be conclusively determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Purchase Contract Agent was
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 
  
 (iii) no provision of this Agreement or the Remarketing Agreement shall require the Purchase Contract Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise 
  

 56 

 incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of
any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
  
 (c) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this
Agreement and the Remarketing Agreement relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Purchase Contract Agent shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. 
  
 (d) The Purchase Contract Agent is authorized to execute and deliver the
Remarketing Agreement in its capacity as Purchase Contract Agent. 
  
 Section 7.02 Notice of Default. Within 30 days after the occurrence of any default by the Company hereunder of which a Responsible Officer of the Purchase Contract Agent has actual knowledge, the Purchase Contract Agent shall
transmit by mail to the Company and the Holders, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, notice of such default hereunder, unless such default shall have been cured or waived.

 59 

 deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published or filed.
If at any time the Purchase Contract Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Purchase Contract Agent. 
  
 (d) If at any time: 
  
 (i) the Purchase Contract Agent fails to comply with Section 310(b) of the TIA, as if the Purchase Contract Agent were an indenture trustee under an indenture qualified under the TIA, and shall fail to resign after written request

 (ii) the Purchase Contract Agent shall cease to be eligible under Section 7.08 and shall fail to resign after written request
therefor by the Company or by any such Holder; or 
  
 (iii) the Purchase Contract Agent shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Purchase Contract Agent or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or
control of the Purchase Contract Agent or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 
  
 then, in any such case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Purchase Contract Agent, or (ii) any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a
Unit for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Purchase Contract Agent and the appointment of a successor Purchase Contract Agent.

become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Purchase Contract Agent for any cause, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Purchase Contract Agent and shall comply with the applicable
requirements of Section 7.10. If no successor Purchase Contract Agent shall have 
  

 60 

 been so appointed by the Company and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 7.10, any Holder who has
been a bona fide Holder of a Unit for at least six months, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, or the Purchase Contract Agent may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a successor Purchase Contract Agent. 
  
 (f) The Company shall
give, or shall cause such successor Purchase Contract Agent to give, notice of each resignation and each removal of the Purchase Contract Agent and each appointment of a successor Purchase Contract Agent by mailing written notice of such event by

 Section 7.10 Acceptance of Appointment by
Successor. (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Purchase Contract Agent, every such successor Purchase Contract Agent so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Purchase
Contract Agent an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Purchase Contract Agent shall become effective and such successor Purchase Contract Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance,
shall become vested with all the rights, powers, agencies and duties of the retiring Purchase Contract Agent; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Purchase Contract Agent, such retiring Purchase Contract Agent shall, upon payment of
its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Purchase Contract Agent all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Purchase Contract Agent and duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Purchase Contract
Agent all property and money held by such retiring Purchase Contract Agent hereunder. 
  
 (b) Upon request of any such successor Purchase Contract Agent, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Purchase Contract Agent all
such rights, powers and agencies referred to in clause (a) of this Section 7.10. 
  
 (c) No successor Purchase Contract Agent shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Purchase Contract Agent shall be qualified and eligible under this Article 7. 
  
 Section 7.11 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to
Business. Any Person into which the Purchase Contract Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Purchase Contract Agent shall be a
party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Purchase Contract Agent, shall be the successor of the Purchase Contract Agent hereunder, provided that such Person shall be otherwise qualified
and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Certificates shall have been authenticated and executed on behalf of the Holders, but not
delivered, by the Purchase Contract Agent then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such Purchase Contract Agent may adopt such authentication and execution and deliver the Certificates so authenticated and executed
with the same effect as if such successor Purchase Contract Agent had itself authenticated and executed such Units. 
  
 Section 7.12 Preservation of Information; Communications to Holders. (a) The Purchase Contract Agent shall preserve, in as current a form
as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of Holders received by the Purchase Contract Agent in its capacity as Security Registrar.

Purchase Contract Agent reasonable proof that each such 
  

 61 

 Applicant has owned a Unit for a period of at least six months preceding the date of such application, and such
application states that the Applicants desire to communicate with other Holders with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Units and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such Applicants
propose to transmit, then the Purchase Contract Agent shall mail to all the Holders copies of the form of proxy or other communication which is specified in such request, with reasonable promptness after a tender to the Purchase Contract Agent of
the materials to be mailed and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of such mailing. 
  
 Section 7.13 No Obligations of Purchase Contract Agent. Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Purchase
Contract Agent assumes no obligations and shall not be subject to any liability under this Agreement, the Remarketing Agreement or any Purchase Contract in respect of the obligations of the Holder of any Unit thereunder. The Company agrees, and each
Holder of a Certificate, by its acceptance thereof, shall be deemed to have agreed, that the Purchase Contract Agent’s execution of the Certificates on behalf of the Holders shall be solely as agent and attorney-in-fact for the Holders, and
that the Purchase Contract Agent shall have no obligation to perform such Purchase Contracts on behalf of the Holders, except to the extent expressly provided in Article Five hereof. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, in no event shall the Purchase Contract Agent or its officers, directors, employees or agents be liable under this Agreement or the Remarketing Agreement for (i) indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential loss or
damage of any kind whatsoever, including lost profits, whether or not the likelihood of such loss or damage was known to the Purchase Contract Agent and regardless of the form of action or (ii) any failure or delay in the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused directly or indirectly, by acts of God; earthquake; fires; floods; wars; civil or military disturbances; terrorist acts; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruptions, loss or malfunctions of
utilities; accidents; labor disputes; or acts of civil or military authority or governmental actions; it being understood that the Purchase Contract Agent shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking
industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under such circumstances. 
  
 Section 7.14 Tax Compliance. (a) The Purchase Contract Agent, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Company, will comply with all applicable certification, information reporting and withholding
(including “backup” withholding) requirements imposed by applicable tax laws, regulations or administrative practice with respect to (i) any payments made with respect to the Units or (ii) the issuance, delivery, holding,
transfer, redemption or exercise of rights under the Units. Such compliance shall include, without limitation, the preparation and timely filing of required returns and the timely payment of all amounts required to be withheld to the appropriate
taxing authority or its designated agent. 
  
 (b) The Purchase
Contract Agent shall comply in accordance with the terms hereof with any reasonable written direction received from the Company with respect to the execution or certification of any required documentation and the application of such requirements to
particular payments or Holders or in other particular circumstances, and may for purposes of this Agreement conclusively rely on any such direction in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.01(a) hereof. 
  
 (c) The Purchase Contract Agent shall maintain all appropriate records
documenting compliance with such requirements, and shall make such records available, on written request, to the Company or its authorized representative within a reasonable period of time after receipt of such request.

 (a) either the Company shall be the continuing corporation, or the successor Person (if other than the Company) shall be a
corporation or limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof or the District of Columbia and such corporation or limited liability company, as the case may be, shall expressly
assume the due and punctual performance and observance of all the obligations of the Company under the Purchase Contracts, this Agreement (including the Pledge provided for herein), the Indenture (including any supplement thereto) and the

 (b) the
Company or such successor corporation or limited liability company, as the case may be, shall not, immediately after such merger or consolidation, or such sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition, be in default of payment obligations under

of any such merger, consolidation, sale, conveyance (other than by way of lease), transfer, or other disposition and upon any such assumption by a successor Person in accordance with Section 9.01, such successor corporation or limited liability
company shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the Company, and the Company shall be relieved of any for their obligations under this Agreement and under the Units. Such successor
corporation or limited liability company thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of E*TRADE Financial Corporation any or all of the Certificates evidencing Units issuable hereunder which theretofore
shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Purchase Contract Agent; and, upon the order of such successor corporation or limited liability company, instead of the Company, and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations

Contract Agent for authentication and execution, and any Certificate evidencing Units which such successor corporation or limited liability company thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Purchase Contract Agent for that purpose.
All the Certificates issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Agreement as the Certificates theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as though all of such Certificates had
been issued at the date of the execution hereof. 
  

 65

however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, New York for such purposes. The Company will give prompt
written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. The Company hereby designates as the place of payment for the Units the Corporate Trust Office

be listed on the NYSE or any other national securities exchange or automated quotation system, the Company will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system, list and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so
listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, all Common Stock issuable upon Settlement of Purchase Contracts; provided, however, that, if the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system permit the Company to defer
the listing of such Common Stock until the date on which any Purchase Contract is first settled in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Company covenants to list such Common Stock issuable upon settlement of the Purchase Contracts
in accordance with the requirements of such exchange or automated quotation system no later than at such time.

Units that is a Plan or who used assets of a Plan to purchase Units hereby represents that either (i) no portion of the assets used by such Holder to acquire the Corporate Units constitutes assets of the Plan or (ii) the purchase or

represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and the Company (with respect to such Holder’s interest in the Collateral), which representations and warranties shall be deemed repeated on each day a Holder effects a Transfer of Collateral,
that: 
  
 (a) such Holder has the power to grant a security
interest in and lien on the Collateral; 
  
 (b) such Holder is the
sole beneficial owner of the Collateral and, in the case of Collateral delivered in physical form, is the sole holder of such Collateral and is the sole beneficial owner of, or has the right to Transfer, the Collateral it Transfers to the Collateral
Agent for credit to the Collateral Account, free and clear of any security interest, lien, encumbrance, call, liability to pay money or other restriction other than the security interest and lien granted under Article 11;

perfection of that interest and assuming the establishment and exercise of control pursuant to Article 12 hereof); and 
  
 (d) the execution and performance by the Holder of its obligations under this Agreement will not result in the creation of any security interest, lien or
other encumbrance on the Collateral (other than the security interest and lien granted under Article 11 hereof) or violate any provision of any existing law or regulation applicable to it or of any mortgage, charge, pledge, indenture, contract or
undertaking to which it is a party or which is binding on it or any of its assets.

 (a) neither the Purchase Contract Agent nor such Holders will create or
purport to create or allow to subsist any mortgage, charge, lien, pledge or any other security interest whatsoever over the Collateral or any part of it other than pursuant to this Agreement; and 
  

 71 

 (b) neither the Purchase Contract Agent nor such Holders will sell or otherwise dispose (or attempt to
dispose) of the Collateral or any part of it except for the beneficial interest therein, subject to the Pledge hereunder, transferred in connection with a Transfer of the Units.

sufficiency of this Agreement (other than as against the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be), the Units, any Collateral or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or for

the perfection, priority or maintenance of any security interest created hereunder;

provided, however, that (i) such direction shall not conflict with the provisions of any law or of this Agreement or involve the Collateral Agent in personal liability and (ii) the Collateral Agent shall be indemnified to its
satisfaction as provided herein. Nothing contained in this Section 15.02 shall impair the right of the Collateral Agent in its discretion to take any action or omit to take any action which it deems proper and which is not inconsistent with

similar electronic means, telecopy, telex or facsimile) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons (without being required to determine the correctness of
any fact stated therein) and consult with and conclusively rely upon advice, opinions and statements of legal counsel and other experts selected by the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be. As to

matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action to be taken hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the
Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate signed by one of the Company’s officers, and delivered to the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or
the Securities Intermediary and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary, shall be full warrant to the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent

Agent or the Securities Intermediary may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities
Intermediary shall be 
  

 73 

 a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Collateral
Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary shall be the successor of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further
act on the part of any of the parties hereto except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Intermediary, as the case may be, and the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent, the Securities Intermediary and their affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from the Purchase Contract Agent and any Holder without having to account for

expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) (collectively, “Losses” and individually, a “Loss”) that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Indemnitees or any of them for following
any instructions or other directions upon which any of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary is entitled to rely pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, provided that the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or
the Securities Intermediary has not acted with negligence or engaged in willful misconduct or bad faith with respect to the specific Loss against which indemnification is sought; and

negligence or engaged in willful misconduct or bad faith with respect to the specific Loss against which indemnification is sought. 
  
 The provisions of this Section and Section 15.14 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the
Securities Intermediary and the termination of this Agreement. 
  
 Section 15.09 Failure to Act. In the event that, in the good faith belief of the Collateral Agent, the Custody Agent or the Securities Intermediary, an ambiguity in the provisions of this Agreement arises or any actual dispute
between or conflicting claims by or among the parties hereto or any other Person with respect to any funds or property deposited hereunder has been asserted in writing, then at its sole option, each of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and
the Securities Intermediary shall be entitled, after prompt notice to the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent, to refuse to comply with any and all claims, demands or instructions with respect to such property or funds so long as such dispute or
conflict shall continue, and the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, shall not be or become liable in any way to any of the parties hereto for its failure or refusal to comply with such
conflicting claims, demands or instructions. The Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall be entitled to refuse to act until either: 
  
 (a) such conflicting or adverse claims or demands shall have been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or
settled by agreement between the conflicting parties as evidenced in a writing satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary; or 
  
 (b) the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary shall have received security or an indemnity
satisfactory to it sufficient to hold it harmless from and against any and all loss, liability or reasonable out-of-pocket expense which it may incur by reason of its acting. 
  
 The Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary may in addition elect to commence an interpleader
action or seek other judicial relief or orders as the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary may deem necessary. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, none of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial
Agent or the Securities Intermediary shall be required to take any action that is in its opinion contrary to law or to the terms of this Agreement, or which would in its opinion subject it or any of its officers, employees or directors to liability.

  
 Section 15.10 Resignation of Collateral Agent, the
Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary. (a) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary as provided below: 
  
 (i) the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the
Securities Intermediary may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent as attorney-in-fact for the Holders; 
  
 (ii) the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary may be removed at any time by the Company; and 

 

 75 

 (iii) if the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary fails
to perform any of its material obligations hereunder in any material respect for a period of not less than 20 days after receiving written notice of such failure by the Purchase Contract Agent and such failure shall be continuing, the Collateral
Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary may be removed by the Purchase Contract Agent, acting at the direction of the Holders. 
  
 The Purchase Contract Agent shall promptly notify the Company upon the transmission of notice as contemplated by clause (iii) of
Section 15.10(a) and any removal of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 15.10(a). Upon any such resignation or removal, the Company shall have the right to
appoint a successor Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, which shall not be an Affiliate of the Purchase Contract Agent. If no successor Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary shall
have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 45 days after the retiring Collateral Agent’s, Custodial Agent’s or Securities Intermediary’s giving of notice of resignation or the Company’s or the Purchase
Contract Agent’s giving notice of such removal, then the retiring or removed Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary may petition any court of competent jurisdiction, at the expense of the Company, for the appointment of a
successor Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary. The Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary shall each be a bank or a national banking association which has an office (or an agency office) in New
York City with a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities
Intermediary, as the case may be, such successor Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, and the retiring Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, shall take all appropriate action, subject to payment of any amounts
then due and payable to it hereunder, to transfer any money and property held by it hereunder (including the Collateral) to such successor. The retiring Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary shall, upon such succession, be
discharged from its duties and obligations as Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary hereunder. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s, Custodial Agent’s or Securities Intermediary’s resignation hereunder as
Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Intermediary, the provisions of this Article 15 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Collateral Agent, the
Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary. Any resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Intermediary hereunder, at a time when such Person is also acting as the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent
or the Securities Intermediary, as the case may be, shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement as the simultaneous resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary or the Custodial Agent, as the case may be.

  
 (b) Because The Bank of New York is serving as the Collateral
Agent hereunder and also as the Purchase Contract Agent hereunder, if an event of default or a collateral event of default occurs hereunder The Bank of New York will resign as the Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent and the Securities Intermediary,
but continue to act as the Purchase Contract Agent. A successor Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent and Securities Intermediary will be appointed in accordance with the terms of this Article 15. 
  
 Section 15.11 Right to Appoint Agent or Advisor. The Collateral
Agent shall have the right to appoint agents or advisors in connection with any of its duties hereunder, and the Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by, or in reliance upon the advice of, such agents or advisors
selected in good faith. The appointment of agents pursuant to this Section 15.11 shall be subject to prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 This Corporate Units Certificate certifies that
                     is the registered Holder of the number of Corporate Units set forth above [For inclusion in Global Certificates only - or such
other number of Corporate Units reflected in the Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Global Certificate attached hereto, which number shall not exceed 18,000,000]. Each Corporate Unit consists of (i) either (a) an Applicable Ownership

 All capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement (as defined on the reverse hereof) have the meaning set
forth therein. 
  

 A-1 

 Pursuant to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, the Applicable Ownership Interest in Subordinated
Notes or the Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of such term), as the case may be, constituting part of each Corporate 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 Corporate Unit. 
  
 All payments of the principal amount with respect to the Subordinated Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes or
all payments with respect to the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of such term), as the case may be, or payments of interest on the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in

Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (ii) of the definition of such term), as the case may be, forming part of the Corporate Units evidenced hereby, which are payable on each Payment Date, shall, subject to receipt

 Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby obligates the Holder of this
Corporate Units Certificate to purchase, and the Company to sell, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, at a Purchase Price equal to the Stated Amount, a number of newly issued shares of Common Stock of the Company, equal to the Settlement Rate,
unless on or prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date there shall have occurred a Termination Event, an Early Settlement or a Cash Merger Early Settlement with respect to such Purchase Contract, all as provided in the Purchase Contract and
Pledge Agreement. 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 payment received in the
Remarketing of the Subordinated Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes equal to the principal amount thereof or the proceeds of the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as
specified in clause (i) of the definition of such term), as the case may be, pledged to secure the obligations under such Purchase Contract of the Holder of the Corporate Units of which such Purchase Contract is a part.

(i) treat its acquisition of the Corporate Units as an acquisition of the Applicable Ownership Interest in Subordinated Notes and Purchase Contract constituting each Corporate Unit, (ii) treat the Applicable Ownership Interest in
Subordinated Notes as indebtedness of the Company and (iii) treat itself as the owner of the applicable interests in the Collateral Account, including the Subordinated Notes underlying the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Subordinated

 (REVERSE OF CORPORATE UNIT CERTIFICATE) 
  
 Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby is governed by a Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, dated as of November [22],
2005 (as may be supplemented from time to time, the “Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement”), between the Company and The Bank of New York, as Collateral Agent, as Custodial Agent, as Securities Intermediary, as Purchase Contract
Agent and as attorney-in-fact for the holders of Corporate Units and Treasury Units from time to time, to which Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and supplemental agreements thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the respective
rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Purchase Contract Agent, the Company, and the Holders and of the terms upon which the Corporate Units Certificates are, and are to be, executed and delivered.

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

  
 No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon
settlement of Purchase Contracts, as provided in Section 5.08 of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. 
  
 Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby that is settled through Early Settlement or Cash Merger Early Settlement shall obligate the Holder of the related
Corporate Units to purchase at the Purchase Price, and the Company to sell, a number of newly issued shares of Common Stock equal to the Minimum Settlement Rate (in the case of an Early Settlement) or applicable Settlement Rate (in the case of a
Cash Merger Early Settlement). 
  
 In accordance with the terms of
the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, unless a Termination Event shall have occurred, the Holder of this Corporate Units Certificate shall pay the Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to each Purchase Contract
evidenced hereby by effecting a Cash Settlement, an Early Settlement or, if applicable, a Cash Merger Early Settlement or from the proceeds of the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the
definition of such term) or a Remarketing of the Subordinated Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes. Unless Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio have replaced Applicable Ownership
Interests in Subordinated Notes as a component of Corporate Units, a Holder of Corporate Units who (1) does not, on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the sixth Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date
make an effective Cash Settlement in the manner provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement or (2) on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the seventh Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date
(in the case of Corporate Units, unless a Special Event Redemption has occurred) or the second Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date (in the case of Corporate Units after the occurrence of a Special Event
Redemption), does not make an effective Early Settlement, shall pay the Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock to be delivered under the related Purchase Contract from the proceeds of the sale of the Subordinated Notes underlying the Pledged
Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes held by the Collateral Agent in the Remarketing unless the Holder has previously made a Cash Merger Early Settlement. If the Treasury Portfolio has replaced the Subordinated Notes as a component
of Corporate Units, a Holder of Corporate Units shall pay the Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock to be delivered under the related Purchase Contract from the proceeds at maturity of the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury
Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of such term. 
  

 A-5 

 As provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Failed Final
Remarketing, as of the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, each Holder of any Pledged Applicable Interests in Subordinated Notes, unless such Holder has elected Cash Settlement and delivered cash in accordance with Section 5.02(a) of the
Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, shall be deemed to have exercised such Holder’s Put Right with respect to the Subordinated Notes underlying such Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes and to have elected to have a portion
of the Proceeds of the Put Right set-off against such Holder’s obligation to pay the aggregate Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock to be issued under the related Purchase Contracts in full satisfaction of such Holders’
obligations under such Purchase Contracts, and any accrued and unpaid interest on the Subordinated Notes attributable to such Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes will become payable by the Company to the Holder of this
Corporate Units Certificate in the manner provided for in the Purchase Contract and Pledge 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 set forth in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. 
  
 Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby and all obligations and rights of the
Company and the Holder thereunder shall terminate if a Termination Event shall occur. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Company shall give written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent and to the Holders, at their addresses as they
appear in the Security Register. Upon and after the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Collateral Agent shall release the Subordinated Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes or the Applicable Ownership
Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of such term) forming a part of each Corporate Unit from the Pledge. A Corporate Unit shall thereafter represent the right to receive the Subordinated Note
underlying the Applicable Ownership Interest in the Subordinated Notes or the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio forming a part of such Corporate Units in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement.

  
 Under the terms of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement,
the Purchase Contract Agent will be entitled to exercise the voting and any other consensual rights pertaining to the Subordinated Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes, but only to the extent instructed
in writing by the Holders. Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which holders of Subordinated Notes are entitled to vote or upon any solicitation of consents, waivers or proxies of holders of Subordinated Notes, the Purchase Contract Agent
shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, mail, first class, postage pre-paid, to the Corporate Units Holders the notice required by the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. 
  
 Upon the occurrence of a Special Event Redemption, the Collateral Agent shall surrender the Subordinated Notes underlying
the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes against delivery of an amount equal to the aggregate Redemption Price of such Subordinated Notes and shall deposit the funds in the Collateral Account in exchange for such Subordinated
Notes. Thereafter, the Collateral Agent shall cause the Securities Intermediary to apply an amount equal to the aggregate Redemption Amount of such funds to purchase, on behalf of the Holders of Corporate Units, the Treasury Portfolio. 

 

 A-6 

 Following the occurrence of a Special Event Redemption prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date,
the Collateral Agent shall have such security interest rights with respect to the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of such term) as the Collateral Agent had in respect of
Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes and the underlying Subordinated Notes, as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and any reference herein to the Subordinated Notes or Applicable Ownership Interests in
Subordinated Notes shall be deemed to be a reference to the Treasury Portfolio or the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be. 
  
 The Corporate Units Certificates are issuable only in registered form and only in denominations of a single Corporate Unit
and any integral multiple thereof. The transfer of any Corporate Units Certificate will be registered and Corporate Units Certificates may be exchanged as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. A Holder who elects to substitute a
Treasury Security for the Subordinated Note underlying the Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes or Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, thereby creating Treasury Units, shall be responsible
for any fees or expenses payable in connection therewith. Except as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, such Corporate Unit shall not be separable into its constituent parts, and the rights and obligations of the Holder of such
Corporate Unit in respect of the Applicable Ownership Interest in Subordinated Notes, or Applicable Ownership Interest in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, and Purchase Contract constituting such Corporate Units may be transferred and
exchanged only as a Corporate Unit. 
  
 Subject to, and in
compliance with, the conditions and terms set forth in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, the Holder of Corporate Units may effect a Collateral Substitution. From and after such Collateral Substitution, each Unit for which Pledged Treasury
Securities secure the Holder’s obligation under the Purchase Contract shall be referred to as a “Treasury Unit”. A Holder may make such Collateral Substitution only in integral multiples of 40 Corporate Units for 40 Treasury Units. If
Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio have replaced the Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes as a component of the Corporate Units, a Holder may substitute Treasury Securities for the Applicable Ownership Interests
in the Treasury Portfolio only in integral multiples of [    ] Corporate Units. 
  
 Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, at the option of the Holder thereof, Purchase Contracts
underlying Units may be settled early by effecting an Early Settlement as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement in integral multiples of 40 Corporate Units, or if Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio have
replaced the Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes as a component of the Corporate Units, in integral multiples of [    ] Corporate Units. 
  
 Upon Early Settlement of Purchase Contracts by a Holder of the related Units, the Subordinated Notes underlying the Pledged
Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes or the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of such term) underlying such Units shall be released from the Pledge as provided
in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of Common Stock on account of each Purchase Contract forming part of a Corporate Unit as to which Early Settlement is effected equal to the
Minimum Settlement Rate. 
  
 Upon the occurrence of a Cash Merger,
a Holder of Corporate Units may effect Cash Merger Early Settlement of the Purchase Contracts underlying such Corporate Units pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement in integral multiples of 40 Corporate Units, or if the
Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio have replaced the Applicable Ownership Interests in 
  

 A-7 

 Subordinated Notes as a component of the Corporate Units, in integral multiples of [!] Corporate Units. Upon Cash Merger
Early Settlement of Purchase Contracts by a Holder of the related Corporate Units, the Subordinated Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes or the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as
specified in clause (i) of the definition of such term) underlying such Corporate Units shall be released from the Pledge as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of shares
of Common Stock on account of each Purchase Contract forming part of a Corporate Unit as to which Cash Merger Early Settlement is effected equal to the applicable Settlement Rate. 
  
 Upon registration of transfer of this Corporate Units 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 and Pledge Agreement), under the terms of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and the Purchase
Contracts evidenced hereby and the transferor shall be released from the obligations under the Purchase Contracts evidenced by this Corporate Units Certificate. The Company covenants and agrees, and the Holder, by its acceptance hereof, likewise
covenants and agrees, to be bound by the provisions of this paragraph. 
  
 The Holder of this Corporate Units Certificate, by its acceptance hereof, authorizes the Purchase Contract Agent to enter into and perform the related Purchase Contracts forming part of the Corporate 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 and Pledge Agreement, authorizes the Purchase Contract Agent to enter into
and perform the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement on its behalf as its attorney-in-fact, and consents to the Pledge of the Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes and the underlying Subordinated Notes or the Applicable Ownership
Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of such term), as the case may be, underlying this Corporate Units Certificate pursuant to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. The Holder further
covenants and agrees that, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, but subject to the terms thereof, any payments with respect the Subordinated Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable Ownership
Interests in Subordinated Notes (other than interest payments thereon) or the Proceeds of the Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio (as specified in clause (i) of the definition of such term), as the case may be, on the
Purchase Contract Settlement Date equal to the aggregate Purchase Price for the related Purchase Contracts shall be paid by the Collateral Agent to the Company in satisfaction of such Holder’s obligations under the related Purchase Contracts
and such Holder shall acquire no right, title or interest in such payments. 
  
 Subject to certain exceptions, the provisions of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement may be amended with the consent of the Holders of a majority of the Purchase Contracts. 
  
 The Purchase Contracts shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the conflicts of law provisions thereof to the extent a different law would govern as a result. 
  
 The Purchase Contracts shall not, prior to the settlement thereof, entitle the Holder to any of the rights of a holder of
shares of Common Stock. 
  
 Prior to due presentment of this
Certificate for registration of transfer, the Company, the Purchase Contract Agent and its Affiliates and any agent of the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent may treat the Person in whose name this Corporate Units Certificate is registered as
the owner of the Corporate

Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes (subject to any applicable record date), 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 agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 This Treasury Units Certificate certifies that
                     is the registered Holder of the number of Treasury Units set forth above [For inclusion in Global Certificates only - or
such other number of Treasury Units reflected in the Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Global Certificate attached hereto, which number shall not exceed 18,000,000]. Each Treasury Unit consists of (i) a 1/40 undivided beneficial ownership
interest in 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 Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, and (ii) the rights and obligations of
the Holder under one Purchase Contract with the Company. 
  
 All
capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement (as defined on the reverse hereof) have the meaning set forth therein. 
  
 Pursuant to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, the Treasury Securities underlying each Treasury 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 Unit. 
  

 B-1 

 Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby obligates the Holder of this Treasury Units Certificate to
purchase, and the Company to sell, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, at a Purchase Price equal to the Stated Amount, a number of newly issued shares of Common Stock of the Company, equal to the Settlement Rate, unless prior to or on the

maturity pledged to secure the obligations under such Purchase Contract of the Holder of the Treasury Units of which such Purchase Contract is a part. 
  
 Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby obligates the holder to agree, for United States federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, to
(i) treat its acquisition of the Treasury Units as an acquisition of the Treasury Security and Purchase Contracts constituting the Treasury Units and (ii) treat itself as the owner of the applicable interest in the Treasury Securities.

 (REVERSE OF TREASURY UNIT CERTIFICATE) 
  
 Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby is governed by a Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, dated as of November [22],
2005 (as may be supplemented from time to time, the “Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement”) between the Company and The Bank of New York, as Collateral Agent, as Custodial Agent, as Securities Intermediary, as Purchase Contract
Agent and as attorney-in-fact for the holders of Corporate Units and Treasury Units from time to time, to which Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and supplemental agreements thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the respective
rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Purchase Contract Agent, the Company and the Holders and of the terms upon which the Treasury Units Certificates are, and are to be, executed and delivered.

  
 Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby obligates the Holder
of this Treasury Units Certificate to purchase, and the Company to sell, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date at a price equal to the Stated Amount, a number of newly issued shares of Common Stock equal to the Settlement Rate, unless an Early
Settlement, a Cash Merger Early Settlement or a Termination Event with respect to the Unit of which such Purchase Contract is a part shall have occurred. The Settlement Rate is subject to adjustment as described in the Purchase Contract and Pledge
Agreement. 
  
 No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued
upon settlement of Purchase Contracts, as provided in Section 5.08 of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. 
  
 Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby that is settled through Early Settlement or Cash Merger Early Settlement shall obligate the Holder of the related
Treasury Units to purchase at the Purchase Price and the Company to sell, a number of newly issued shares of Common Stock equal to the Minimum Settlement Rate (in the case of an Early Settlement) or applicable Settlement Rate (in the case of a Cash
Merger Early Settlement). 
  
 In accordance with the terms of the
Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, the Holder of this Treasury Unit shall pay the Purchase Price for the shares of the Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby either by effecting an Early Settlement or,
if applicable, a Cash Merger Early Settlement of each such Purchase Contract or by applying the proceeds of the Pledged Treasury Securities underlying such Holder’s Treasury Unit equal to the Purchase Price for such Purchase Contract to the
purchase of the Common Stock. 
  
 The Company shall not be
obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock in respect of a Purchase Contract or deliver any certificates therefor to the Holder unless it shall have received payment of the aggregate Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock to be purchased
thereunder in the manner set forth in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. 
  
 Each Purchase Contract evidenced hereby and all obligations and rights of the Company and the Holder thereunder, shall terminate if a Termination Event shall occur. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the
Company shall give written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent and the Holders, at their addresses as they appear in the Security Register. Upon and after the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Collateral Agent shall release the Treasury
Securities underlying each Treasury Unit from the Pledge. A Treasury Unit shall thereafter represent the right to receive the Treasury Security underlying such Treasury Unit, in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Contract and Pledge
Agreement. 
  

 B-4 

 The Treasury Units Certificates are issuable only in registered form and only in denominations of a
single Treasury Unit and any integral multiple thereof. The transfer of any Treasury Units Certificate will be registered and Treasury Units Certificates may be exchanged as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. A Holder who elects
to substitute Subordinated Notes or Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, for Treasury Securities, thereby recreating Corporate Units, shall be responsible for any fees or expenses payable in connection
therewith. Except as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, such Treasury Unit shall not be separable into its constituent parts, and the rights and obligations of the Holder of such Treasury Unit in respect of the Treasury Security
and the Purchase Contract constituting such Treasury Unit may be transferred and exchanged only as a Treasury Unit. 
  
 Subject to, and in compliance with, the conditions and terms set forth in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, the Holder of Treasury Units may
effect a Collateral Substitution. From and after such substitution, each Unit for which Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes, or Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be, secure the
Holder’s obligation under the Purchase Contract shall be referred to as a “Corporate Unit”. A Holder may make such Collateral substitution only in multiples of 40 Treasury Units for 40 Corporate Units. If Applicable Ownership
Interests in the Treasury Portfolio have replaced the Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes as a component of the Corporate Units, a Holder may substitute Applicable Ownership Interests in the Treasury Portfolio for Treasury
Securities only in integral multiples of [    ] Treasury Units. 
  
 Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, at the option of the Holder thereof, Purchase Contracts underlying Units may be settled early by effecting an Early
Settlement as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement in integral multiples of 40 Treasury Units. 
  
 Upon Early Settlement of Purchase Contracts by a Holder of the related Units, the Pledged Treasury Securities underlying such Units shall be released from
the Pledge as provided in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of Common Stock on account of each Purchase Contract forming part of a Treasury Unit as to which Early Settlement is
effected equal to the Minimum Settlement Rate. 
  
 Upon the
occurrence of a Cash Merger, a Holder of Treasury Units may effect Cash Merger Early Settlement of the Purchase Contracts underlying such Treasury Units pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement in integral multiples of 40
Treasury Units. Upon Cash Merger Early Settlement of Purchase Contracts by a Holder of the related Treasury Units, the Pledged Treasury Securities underlying such Treasury Units shall be released from the Pledge as provided in the Purchase Contract
and Pledge Agreement and the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of Common Stock on account of each Purchase Contract forming part of a Corporate Unit as to which Cash Merger Early Settlement is effected equal to the applicable
Settlement Rate. 
  
 Upon registration of transfer of this
Treasury Units 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 and Pledge Agreement),
under the terms of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and the Purchase Contracts evidenced hereby and the transferor shall be released from the obligations under the Purchase Contracts evidenced by this Treasury Units Certificate. The
Company covenants and agrees, and the Holder, by its acceptance hereof, likewise covenants and agrees, to be bound by the provisions of this paragraph. 
  

 B-5 

 The Holder of this Treasury 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 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 and Pledge Agreement, authorizes the Purchase Contract Agent to enter into and perform the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement on its behalf as its attorney-in-fact, and consents to
the Pledge of the Treasury Securities underlying this Treasury Units Certificate pursuant to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. The Holder further covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Purchase Contract
and Pledge Agreement, but subject to the terms thereof, payments in respect to the aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Pledged Treasury Securities on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date equal to the aggregate Purchase Price for the
related Purchase Contracts shall be paid by the Collateral Agent to the Company in satisfaction of such Holder’s obligations under such Purchase Contracts and such Holder shall acquire no right, title or interest in such payments. 

 
 Subject to certain exceptions, the provisions of the Purchase Contract and
Pledge Agreement may be amended with the consent of the Holders of a majority of the Purchase Contracts. 
  
 The Purchase Contracts shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the conflicts
of law provisions thereof to the extent a different law would govern as a result. 
  
 The Purchase Contracts shall not, prior to the settlement thereof, entitle the Holder to any of the rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock. 
  
 Prior to due presentment of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Company, the Purchase Contract Agent and its
Affiliates and any agent of the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent may treat the Person in whose name this Treasury Units Certificate is registered as the owner of the Treasury Units evidenced hereby for the purpose of 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 agent shall be
affected by notice to the contrary. 
  
 A copy of the Purchase
Contract and Pledge Agreement is available for inspection at the offices of the Purchase Contract Agent.

 ARTICLE II

 GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE SUBORDINATED NOTES 
  
 Section 2.01 Designation and Principal Amount. There is hereby authorized a series of Securities designated as
[    ]% Subordinated Notes due 2018 limited in aggregate principal amount to $450,000,000. The Subordinated Notes may be issued from time to time upon written order of the Company for the authentication and
delivery of Subordinated Notes pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Base Indenture. 
  
 Section 2.02 Maturity. Unless a Special Event Redemption occurs prior to the Maturity Date (defined below), the date upon which the Subordinated Notes shall become due and payable at final maturity,
together with any accrued and unpaid interest, is [    ], 2018 (the “Maturity Date”). 
  
 Section 2.03 Form, Payment and Appointment. Except as provided in Section 2.04, the Subordinated Notes shall be issued in fully
registered, certificated form, bearing identical terms. Principal of and interest on the Subordinated Notes will be payable, the transfer of such Subordinated Notes will be registrable, and such Subordinated Notes will be exchangeable for
Subordinated Notes of a like aggregate principal amount bearing identical terms and provisions, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, which shall initially be the
corporate trust office of the Trustee; provided, however, that payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the holder at such address as shall appear in the Security register or by wire transfer to an
account appropriately designated by the holder entitled to payment. 
  
 No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of the Subordinated Notes, but the Company may require payment from the holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection therewith. 
  
 The Paying Agent for the
Subordinated Notes shall initially be the Trustee. 
  
 The
Subordinated Notes shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; provided, however, that upon the release by the Collateral Agent of Subordinated Notes underlying the Pledged Applicable
Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes (other than any release of Subordinated Notes underlying Pledged Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes in connection with (i) the creation of Treasury Units by Collateral Substitution,
(ii) a Successful Remarketing, (iii) Cash Merger Early Settlement, (iv) Early Settlement with separate cash or (v) Cash Settlement, in accordance with Section 3.13, Section 5.02(b), Section 5.04, Section 5.07
or Section 5.02(a) of the Purchase 
  

 7 

 Contract and Pledge Agreement, as the case may be), the Subordinated Notes shall be issuable in denominations of $25 and
integral multiples of $25 in excess thereof, and the Company shall issue Subordinated Notes in any such denominations if requested by the Purchase Contract Agent on behalf of any holder or Beneficial Owner. 
  
 Section 2.04 Global Subordinated Notes. Subordinated Notes
corresponding to Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes that are no longer a component of the Corporate Units and are released from the Collateral Account will be issued in permanent global form (a “Global Subordinated
Note”), and if issued as one or more Global Subordinated Notes, the Depositary shall be The Depository Trust Company or such other depositary as any officer of the Company may from time to time designate. Upon the creation of Treasury
Units, or the re-creation of Corporate Units, an appropriate annotation shall be made on the Schedule of Increases and Decreases on the Global Subordinated Notes held by the Depositary. Unless and until such Global Subordinated Note is exchanged for
Subordinated Notes in certificated form, Global Subordinated Notes may be transferred, in whole but not in part, and any payments on the Subordinated Notes shall be made, only to the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary, or to a successor
Depositary selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor Depositary. 
  
 Section 2.05 Interest. (a) The Subordinated Notes will bear interest initially at the rate of [    ]% per year (the “Coupon Rate”) from and including
November [22], 2005 to, but excluding, the Maturity Date, or in the event of a Successful Remarketing, the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. In the event of a Successful Remarketing of the Subordinated Notes, the Coupon Rate will be
reset by the Remarketing Agent to the Reset Rate with effect from the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, as set forth in Section 8.03. If the Coupon Rate is so reset, the Subordinated Notes will bear interest at the Reset Rate from and
including the Purchase Contract Settlement Date to, but excluding, the Maturity Date. The Subordinated Notes shall bear interest, to the extent permitted by law, on any overdue principal and interest at the Coupon Rate, unless a Successful
Remarketing shall have occurred, in which case interest on such amounts shall accrue at the Reset Rate from and after the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, in each case, compounded quarterly through the Purchase Contract Settlement Date and
compounded semi-annually, thereafter. 
  
 (b) (i) Prior to
and on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, interest on the Subordinated Notes shall be payable quarterly in arrears on [    ], [    ], [    ]
and [    ] of each year (each, a “Quarterly Interest Payment Date”), commencing [    ], 2006, to the Person in whose name the relevant Subordinated Notes are
registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Interest Payment Date. 
  
 (ii) After the Purchase Contract Settlement Date and following a successful Remarketing, interest on the Subordinated Notes shall be
payable semi-annually in arrears on [    ] and [    ] of each year (each, a “Semiannual Interest Payment Date”), commencing
[    ], 2008, to the Person in whose name the relevant Subordinated Notes are registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such Interest Payment Date. 
  

 8 

 (c) The amount of interest payable for any full Interest Period will be computed on the basis of a
360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The amount of interest payable for any period shorter than a full Interest Period for which interest is computed will be computed on the basis of a 30-day month and, for any period less than a month,
on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed per 30-day month. In the event that any scheduled Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such Interest Payment Date will be made on the
next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay). 
  
 Section 2.06 Interest Deferral 
  
 (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.05 or any other provision herein to the contrary, the Company shall have the right, in its sole and
absolute discretion at any time and from time to time while the Subordinated Notes are outstanding, to defer payments of interest by extending the interest payment for the Subordinated Notes at any time or from time to time prior to the Purchase
Contract Settlement Date, provided that such Deferral Period (or any extension thereof) may not extend beyond the Purchase Contact Settlement Date or Redemption Date of any Subordinated Note, and must end on an Interest Payment Date or, if the
Subordinated Notes are redeemed, on an Interest Payment Date or the Redemption Date for the Subordinated Notes, and provided further that at the end of each Deferral Period the Company shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid (together with
interest thereon to the extent permitted by applicable law at the rate accruing on such Subordinated Notes). Prior to the termination of a Deferral Period, the Company may further extend the interest payment for the Subordinated Notes, provided that
such Deferral Period together with all such previous and further extensions may not exceed the maximum deferral period, end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date or extend beyond the earlier of a Purchase Contact Settlement Date or
Redemption Date of any Subordinated Note. 
  
 (b) The Company
shall give the Trustee written notice of the Company’s election to begin a Deferral Period for the Subordinated Notes and any extension thereof at least five Business Days prior to the earlier of: 
  
 (i) the date cash distributions on the Subordinated Notes would have been
payable except for the election to begin or extend the Deferral Period; and 
  
 (ii) the date the Company is required to give notice to the New York Stock Exchange or any other applicable self-regulatory organization or to holders of the Subordinated Notes of the Record Date, provided that such
notice shall be delivered not less than five Business Days prior to such Record Date; 
  
 provided that in no event shall such notice of the Company’s election be sent more than 15 Business Days prior to the date on which payment of all amounts then due is scheduled to occur. 
  
 The Company shall give or cause the Trustee to give notice (a form of which
shall be provided by the Company to the Trustee) of the Company’s election to begin a Deferral Period to the Holders by first class mail, postage prepaid. 
  

 9 

 The Company may at any time irrevocably waive its right to defer interest on the Subordinated Notes for
any specified period (including the remaining term of the Subordinated Notes). 
  
 (c) Restricted Payments Limitations 
  
 While a Deferral Period is in effect, the Company may 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 the Company’s capital stock, or 
  
 (ii) make any payment of principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, or
repay, repurchase or redeem any other debt securities issued by the Company that rank equally with or junior to the Subordinated Notes (other than with respect to the Company’s 6% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2007). 
  
 The provisions of this Section 2.06(c) shall not prevent the Company
from any of the following: 
  
 (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) a dividend reinvestment or stockholder purchase plan, or (3) 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
the Company’s subsidiaries, for any other class or series of the Company’s capital stock, or of any class or series of the Company’s indebtedness for any class or series of the Company’s capital stock; 
  
 (iii) any purchase of, or payment of cash in lieu of,
fractional interests in shares of the Company’s capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the securities being converted or exchanged; and 
  
 (iv) any declaration of a dividend in connection with any
rights plan, or the issuance of rights, stock or other property under any rights plan, or the redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant thereto; or 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. 
  
 (b) All accrued and unpaid interest, including interest thereon, will be due and payable on the Purchase Contract
Settlement Date and may not be further deferred. The 
  

 10 

 Company may defer payments of interest for subsequent periods, subject to the other requirements specified herein, until
the Maturity Date of the Subordinated Notes. Deferred payments of interest to which holders are entitled will accrue additional interest, compounded quarterly, from the relevant payment date for payments of interest during any deferral period, at
the rate of [    ]%, to the extent permitted by applicable law. 
  
 (c) At the end of a Deferral Period, and as a condition to the Company’s release from the limitations under Section 2.06(c) hereunder, the
Company must pay all interest then accrued and unpaid, together with interest on the accrued and unpaid interest, to the extent permitted by applicable law. 
  
 (d) Upon the termination of any Deferral Period, or any extension of the related Deferral Period, and the payment of all amounts then due, the Company
may begin a new Deferral Period, subject to the limitations described in this Section 2.06. No interest shall be due and payable during a deferral period except at the end thereof. 
  
 Section 2.07 No Defeasance. Section 10.01(c) of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Subordinated
Notes. 
  
 Section 2.08 No Sinking Fund or Repayment at
Option of the Holder. The Subordinated Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund and Section 12.05 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Subordinated Notes. 
  
 Section 2.09 Paying Agent. The Company initially appoints the
Trustee as the Paying Agent for the Subordinated Notes. 
  
 ARTICLE III 
 REDEMPTION OF THE SUBORDINATED NOTES 
  
 Section 3.01 Special Event Redemption. If a Special Event shall occur and be continuing, the Company may, at its
option, redeem the Subordinated Notes in whole, but not in part, on any Interest Payment Date prior to the earlier of the date of a Successful Remarketing and the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, at a price per Subordinated Note equal to the
Redemption Price, payable on the date of redemption (the “Special Event Redemption Date”) to the Person in whose name the relevant Subordinated Notes are registered at the close of business on the Special Event Redemption Date.

  
 Section 3.02 Optional Redemption. The Company may
redeem the Subordinated Notes, in whole or in part, on a date not earlier than the later of (i) the second anniversary of the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, or (ii) five years after commencement of any Deferral Period then in effect at

 The Company may at any time irrevocably waive its right to redeem the Subordinated Notes for any specified period (including the remaining term of the
Subordinated Notes). The Company may not redeem the Subordinated Notes if the Notes have been accelerated and such 
  

 11 

 acceleration has not been rescinded or unless all accrued and unpaid interest has been paid in full on all outstanding
Subordinated Notes for all interest periods terminating on or prior to the Redemption Date. In the event of a Failed Final Remarketing, the Company may apply the principal amount of the Subordinated Notes against the obligations of a holder under
the Stock Purchase Contracts. 
  
 Section 3.03 Notice of
Redemption. If the Company so elects to redeem the Subordinated Notes, the Company shall appoint the Quotation Agent to assist the Company in determining the Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price. Notice of any Redemption will be mailed by the
Company (with a copy to the Trustee) at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Person in whose name the Subordinated Notes are registered at its registered address. In addition, the Company shall notify the
Collateral Agent in writing that a Special Event has occurred or that it has elected to redeem the Subordinated Notes, as the case may be, and that the Company intends to redeem the Subordinated Notes on the Redemption Date. 
  
 Section 3.04 Effect of Redemption. Unless the Company defaults in
the payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, (a) interest shall cease to accrue on the Subordinated Notes, (b) the Subordinated Notes shall become due and payable at the Redemption Price, and (c) the
Subordinated Notes shall be void and all rights of the holders in respect of the Subordinated Notes shall terminate and lapse (other than the right to receive the Redemption Price upon surrender of such Subordinated Notes but without interest on
such Redemption Price). Following the notice of a Redemption, neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be required to register the transfer of or exchange the Subordinated Notes to be redeemed. 
  
 Section 3.05 Redemption Procedures. On or prior to the Redemption
Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee immediately available funds in an amount sufficient to pay, on the Redemption Date, the aggregate Redemption Price for all outstanding Subordinated Notes. In exchange for any Subordinated Notes
surrendered for redemption on or after the Redemption Date, the Trustee shall pay an amount equal to the Redemption Price (a) to the Collateral Agent, in the case of Subordinated Notes that underlie the Applicable Ownership Interests in
Subordinated Notes included in Corporate Units, which amount shall be applied by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, and (b) to the holders of the Separate Subordinated Notes, in the
case of Separate Subordinated Notes. 
  
 Section 3.06 No
Other Redemption. Except as set forth in this Article 3, the Subordinated Notes shall not be redeemable by the Company prior to the Maturity Date. The provisions of this Article 3 shall supersede any conflicting provisions contained in Article

senior-subordinate or have any other ranking greater than the ranking of the Subordinated Notes on the date of this Indenture; and (ii) mature at any time earlier than the stated maturity, provided that the Subordinated Notes may not mature
earlier than [            ], [    ]; provided, however, that notice of such modification of the terms is provided to holders of the
Subordinated Notes prior to such time (which, if applicable, may be in the form of the prospectus used for the Remarketing of the Subordinated Notes delivered to the holders of the Subordinated Notes).

 ARTICLE VIII 
 REMARKETING 
  
 Section 8.01 Remarketing
Procedures. (a) Unless a Redemption or a Termination Event has occurred prior to the Initial Remarketing Date, the Company shall engage the Remarketing Agent pursuant to the Remarketing Agreement for the Remarketing of the Subordinated
Notes. The Company will request, not later than 20 Business Days prior to the Initial Remarketing Date, that the Depositary or its nominee notify the Beneficial Owners or Depositary Participants holding Separate Subordinated Notes, Corporate Units
and Treasury Units of the procedures to be followed in the Remarketing, including, in the case of a Failed 
  

 14 

 Final Remarketing, the procedures that must be followed by a holder of Separate Subordinated Notes if such holder wishes
to exercise its Put Right or by a holder of Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes if such holder elects not to exercise its Put Right. 
  
 (b) Each holder of Separate Subordinated Notes may elect to have Separate Subordinated Notes held by such holder remarketed in any Remarketing. A holder
making such an election must, pursuant to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, notify the Custodial Agent and deliver such Separate Subordinated Notes to the Custodial Agent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the seventh Business Day
immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date (but no earlier than the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the Initial Remarketing Date). Any such notice and delivery may be withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
the seventh Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. Any such notice and delivery not withdrawn by such time will be
irrevocable with respect to each Remarketing. Pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, promptly after 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Initial Remarketing Date, the
Custodial Agent, based on the notices and deliveries received by it prior to such time, shall notify the Remarketing Agent of the principal amount of Separate Subordinated Notes tendered for remarketing and shall cause such Separate Subordinated
Notes to be presented to the Remarketing Agent. Under Section 5.02 of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, Subordinated Notes that underlie Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes included in Corporate Units will be deemed
tendered for Remarketing and will be remarketed in accordance with the terms of the Remarketing Agreement. 
  
 (c) The right of each holder of Remarketed Subordinated Notes to have such Subordinated Notes remarketed and sold on any Remarketing Date shall be
subject to the conditions that (i) the Remarketing Agent conducts a Remarketing pursuant to the terms of the Remarketing Agreement on such Remarketing Date, (ii) neither a Special Event Redemption nor a Termination Event has occurred prior
to such Remarketing Date, (iii) the Remarketing Agent is able to find a purchaser or purchasers for Remarketed Subordinated Notes at the Remarketing Price based on the Reset Rate and (iv) the purchaser or purchasers deliver the purchase
price therefor to the Remarketing Agent as and when required. 
  
 (d) Neither the Trustee, the Company nor the Remarketing Agent shall be obligated in any case to provide funds to make payment upon tender of Subordinated Notes for remarketing. 
  
 Section 8.02 Remarketing. (a) Unless a Redemption or a Termination Event has occurred prior to the Initial
Remarketing Date, on the Initial Remarketing Date, the Remarketing Agent shall, pursuant and subject to the terms of the Remarketing Agreement, use its reasonable efforts to remarket the Remarketed Subordinated Notes at the Remarketing Price.

  
 (b) In the case of a Failed Initial Remarketing, on the
Second Remarketing Date, the Remarketing Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to remarket the Remarketed Subordinated Notes at the Remarketing Price. In the case of a Failed Second 
  

 15 

 Remarketing, on the Final Remarketing Date, the Remarketing Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to remarket the
Remarketed Subordinated Notes at the Remarketing Price. It is understood and agreed that Remarketing on any Remarketing Date will be considered successful and no further attempts will be made if the resulting proceeds are at least equal to the
Remarketing Price. 
  
 Section 8.03 Reset Rate.
(a) In connection with each Remarketing, the Remarketing Agent shall determine the Reset Rate (rounded to the nearest one-thousandth (0.001) of one percent per annum). 
  
 (b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Reset Rate shall in no event exceed the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law. 
  
 (c) In the event of a Failed Remarketing or
if no Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes are included in Corporate Units and none of the holders of the Separate Subordinated Notes elect to have their Subordinated Notes remarketed in any Remarketing, the applicable interest rate
on the Subordinated Notes will not be reset and will continue to be the Coupon Rate. 
  
 (d) In the event of a Successful Remarketing, the Coupon Rate shall be reset on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date to the Reset Rate as determined by the Remarketing Agent under the Remarketing Agreement, and the
Company shall issue a press release containing such Reset Rate and publish such information on its website. 
  
 Section 8.04 Failed Remarketing. If, by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Remarketing Date, the Remarketing Agent is unable to remarket
all of the Remarketed Subordinated Notes at the Remarketing Price pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof and of the Remarketing Agreement, a Failed Remarketing shall be deemed to have occurred. 
  
 Section 8.05 Put Right. 
  
 (a) Subject to paragraph (b) hereof, if there has not been a
Successful Remarketing on or prior to the Final Remarketing Date, holders of Subordinated Notes will, subject to this Section 8.05, have the right (the “Put Right”) to require the Company to purchase such Subordinated Notes on
the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, at a price per Subordinated Note to be purchased equal to the principal amount of the applicable Subordinated Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Purchase Contract Settlement Date (the
“Put Price”). 
  
 (b) The Put Right of holders
of Applicable Ownership Interests in Subordinated Notes that are part of Corporate Units will be deemed to be automatically exercised unless such holders (1) prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately
preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, provide written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent of their intention to settle the related Purchase Contract with separate cash, and (2) on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, deliver to the Collateral Agent $25 in cash per 
  

 16 

 Purchase Contract, in each case pursuant to the Purchase Contract Agreement, and such holders shall be deemed to have
elected to pay the Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock to be issued under the related Purchase Contract from a portion of the proceeds of the Put Right of the Subordinated Notes underlying such Applicable Ownership Interests in
Subordinated Notes equal to the Purchase Price in full satisfaction of such holders’ obligations under the Purchase Contracts, and any remaining amount of the Put Price following satisfaction of the related Purchase Contracts will be paid to
such holder. 
  
 (c) The Put Right of a holder of a Separate
Subordinated Note shall only be exercisable upon delivery of a notice to the Trustee by such holder on or prior to the second Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. On or prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement
Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee immediately available funds in an amount sufficient to pay, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the aggregate Put Price of all Separate Subordinated Notes with respect to which a holder has
exercised a Put Right. In exchange for any Separate Subordinated Notes surrendered pursuant to the Put Right, the Trustee shall then distribute such amount to the holders of such Separate Subordinated Notes. 
  
 Section 8.06 Additional Events of Default. In addition to the
events listed as Events of Default in Section 5.01 of the Base Indenture, the following shall be additional Events of Default with respect to the Subordinated Notes: 
  
 (a) subject to the Company’s right to defer payments of interest under Section 2.06 hereunder, the Company fails
to pay interest on the Subordinated Notes for thirty days past the applicable due date, 
  
 (b) the Company fails to pay the principal amount of, or premium, if any, on, the Subordinated Notes when due (whether at the Maturity Date, as a result of a Put Right or otherwise), 
  
 (c) the Company fails to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement
in the Indenture, which continues for 60 days after written notice from the Trustee or holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated Notes as provided in the Indenture or 
  
 (d) there occurs with respect to any issue or issues of indebtedness of the
Company or any Significant Subsidiary of the Company having an outstanding principal amount of $20 million or more in the aggregate for all such issues of all such persons, (i) an event of default that has caused the holder thereof to declare

 ARTICLE IX 
 SUBORDINATION 
  
 Section 9.01 Subordination. The subordination provisions contained in Article XIII of the Base Indenture shall apply to the Subordinated Notes. 
  
 In addition, no direct or indirect payment by or on behalf of the Company of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on
the Subordinated Notes, whether pursuant to the terms of the Subordinated Notes, upon acceleration, pursuant to any repurchase, redemption or otherwise (each a “Note Payment”), will be made, if, at the time of such payment, there
exists a default in the payment in cash of all or any portion of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Senior Indebtedness when due, or any Senior Indebtedness has been accelerated, and such default shall not have been cured or
waived in writing or the benefits of this sentence waived in writing by or on behalf of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. In addition, during the continuance of any non-payment Event of Default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness, and
upon receipt by the Trustee of written notice, referring to this Indenture and entitled “Payment Blockage Notice” (a “Payment Blockage Notice”), from the holder or holders of Senior Indebtedness, then, unless and until
such Event of Default has been cured or waived in writing or has ceased to exist or such Senior Indebtedness has been discharged or repaid in full in cash (or such payment shall be duly provided for in a manner satisfactory to holders of such Senior
Indebtedness) or otherwise to the extent holders of such Senior Indebtedness in their sole discretion accept satisfaction of amounts due by settlement in other than cash or the benefits of these provisions have been waived in writing by the holders
of such Senior Indebtedness, no Note Payment will be made to such holders during a period (a “Payment Blockage Period”) commencing on the date of receipt of the Payment Blockage Notice by the Trustee and ending 179 days thereafter.
The Trustee shall deliver a copy of the Payment Blockage Notice to the Company promptly upon receipt thereof. 
  
 Notwithstanding anything in the subordination provisions of this Indenture or the Subordinated Notes to the contrary, (1) in no event will a Payment
Blockage Period extend beyond 179 days from the date the Payment Blockage Notice in respect thereof was received by the Trustee and (2) not more than one Payment Blockage Period may exist with respect to the Subordinated Notes during any period
of 365 consecutive calendar days. No default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice (whether or not such event is with respect to the same issue of Senior Indebtedness) may be, or be made, the basis for
a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice. 
  
 ARTICLE X

Contract constituting the Corporate Unit and (2) to treat the

promises to pay to                     , or registered assigns, the principal sum as set forth in the Schedule of Increases or Decreases In
Subordinated Note attached hereto, which amount shall not exceed $450,000,000, on [            ], 2018 (such date is hereinafter referred to as the “Maturity
Date”), and to pay interest thereon from the Special Interest Payment Date or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, quarterly in arrears on
[            ], [            ],
[            ], and [            ] of each year (each, a “Quarterly Interest Payment

360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for or made available for payment. The Subordinated Notes shall bear interest, to the extent permitted by law, on any overdue principal and interest
at the Coupon Rate, unless a Successful Remarketing shall have occurred, in which case interest on such amounts shall accrue at the Reset Rate from and after the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, in each case, compounded quarterly through the
Purchase Contract Settlement Date and compounded semi-annually thereafter. The Reset Rate, if any, shall be established pursuant to the terms of the Indenture and the Remarketing Agreement. The amount of interest payable for any period shorter than
a full Interest Period for which interest is computed will be computed on the basis of a 30-day month and, for any period less than a month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed per 30-day month. The interest so payable, and punctually
paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Subordinated Note (or one or more predecessor Subordinated Notes) is registered at the close of business on the
Record Date for such Interest Payment Date.

 REVERSE OF SUBORDINATED NOTE 
  
 This Subordinated Note is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the
“Subordinated Notes”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated as of November [22], 2005, between the Company and The Bank of New York, as Trustee
(herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee), as amended and supplemented by Supplemental Indenture No. 1, dated as of November [22], 2005, between the Company and the Trustee (the
“Supplemental Indenture No. 1” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and
immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Subordinated Notes and of the terms upon which the Subordinated Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Subordinated Note is one of the series designated on
the face hereof, limited in aggregate principal amount to $450,000,000. 
  
 All terms used in this Subordinated Note that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Indenture. 
  
 If a Special Event shall occur and be continuing, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Subordinated Notes of this series in whole, but not in part,
on any Interest Payment Date prior to the earlier of the date of a Successful Remarketing or the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, at a price per Subordinated Note equal to the Redemption Price as set forth in the Indenture. In addition, the
Company may redeem the Subordinated Notes, in whole or in part, on a date not earlier than the later of (i) the second anniversary of the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, or (ii) five years after commencement of any Deferral Period then
in effect at a price per Subordinated Note equal to the Redemption Price, as set forth in the Indenture. Except as set forth in the preceding paragraph and in Article 3 of the Supplemental Indenture No. 1, the Company may not redeem the
Subordinated Notes at its option prior to the Maturity Date. 
  
 Pursuant to Section 8.05 of the Supplemental Indenture No. 1, if there has not been a Successful Remarketing on or prior to the Final Remarketing Date, holders of Subordinated Notes will have the right (the “Put
Right”) to require the Company to purchase such Subordinated Notes on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, in the case of Separate Subordinated Notes upon a notice to the Trustee on or prior to the second Business Day prior to the
Purchase Contract Settlement Date, at a price per Subordinated Note to be purchased equal to the principal amount of the applicable Subordinated Note, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Purchase Contract Settlement Date (the
“Put Price”). 
  
 The Company shall have the
right, in its sole and absolute discretion at any time and from time to time while the Subordinated Notes are outstanding, to defer payments of interest by extending the interest payment for the Subordinated Notes at any time or from time to time
prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, provided that such Deferral Period (or any extension thereof) may not extend beyond the Purchase Contact Settlement Date or Redemption Date of any Subordinated Note, and must end on an Interest Payment
Date or, if the Subordinated Notes 
  

 R-1 

 are redeemed, on an Interest Payment Date or the Redemption Date for the Subordinated Notes, and provided further that at
the end of each Deferral Period the Company shall pay all interest then accrued and unpaid (together with interest thereon to the extent permitted by applicable law at the rate accruing on such Subordinated Notes). Prior to the termination of a
Deferral Period, the Company may further extend the interest payment for the Subordinated Notes, provided that such Deferral Period together with all such previous and further extensions may not exceed the maximum deferral period, end on a date
other than an Interest Payment Date or extend beyond the earlier of a Purchase Contact Settlement Date or Redemption Date of any Subordinated Note. 
  
 The Subordinated Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund and will not be subject to defeasance or covenant defeasance. 
  
 If an Event of Default with respect to Subordinated Notes of this series
shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Subordinated Notes of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. 
  
 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights
and obligations of the Company and the rights of the holders of the Subordinated Notes at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Subordinated Notes at the time outstanding.
The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Subordinated Notes at the time outstanding, on behalf of the holders of all Subordinated Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with
certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the holder of this Subordinated Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future holders
of this Subordinated Note and of any Subordinated Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Subordinated Note. 
  
 As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Subordinated Note is registrable in the security register, upon surrender of this Subordinated Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and interest on
this Subordinated Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by the holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing,
and thereupon one or more new Subordinated Notes of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
  
 The Subordinated Notes of this series are issuable only in registered form
without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof, except as provided for in Section 2.03 of Supplemental Indenture No. 1. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Subordinated Notes of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Notes of this series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the holder surrendering the same. 
  

 R-2 

 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 
  
 The Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Subordinated Note is registered as the owner hereof for
all purposes, whether or not this Subordinated Note is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
  
 The Company agrees, and by acceptance of a Corporate Unit or a Separate Subordinated Note, each holder will be deemed to
have agreed (1) for United States federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes to treat the acquisition of a Corporate Unit as the acquisition of an Applicable Ownership Interest in Subordinated Notes and the Purchase Contract
constituting the Corporate Unit and (2) to treat the Applicable Ownership Interest in Subordinated Notes or Separate Subordinated Note, as the case may be, as indebtedness for United States federal, state and local income and franchise tax
purposes. 
  
 THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF TO THE EXTENT A DIFFERENT LAW WOULD GOVERN AS A RESULT.
