Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and (subject to Section 701) conclusive in favor of the Agent and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority.

(c) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register. 11 12 (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security Certificate evidencing such Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Agent or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security Certificate. (e) The Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Agreement to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite number of Outstanding Securities on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite number of Outstanding Securities on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Agent in writing and to each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in Section 106. With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the Company may designate any date as the "Expiration Date" and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the Agent in writing, and to each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in Section 106, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the Company shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date. Section 105. Notices, etc., to Agent and the Company. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Agreement to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with, (1) the Agent by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if made, given, furnished or filed in writing and personally delivered or mailed, first class postage prepaid, to the Agent at___________, Attention: Stock Transfer Department, or at any other address previously furnished in writing by the Agent to the Holders and the Company, or 12 13 (2) the Company by the Agent or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if made, given, furnished or filed in writing and personally delivered or mailed, firstclass postage prepaid, to the Company at One California Street, San Francisco, California 94111, Attention: Senior Vice President, Legal, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Agent by the Company. Section 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver. Where this Agreement provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his address as it 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 Agent, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Agent shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

Section 108. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Agreement by the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. Section 109.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Agent, and the 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 Security Certificates of any authorized denominations and evidencing a like number of Securities. At the option of the Holder, Security Certificates may be exchanged for other Security Certificates, of any authorized denominations and evidencing a like number of Securities, upon surrender of the Security Certificates to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office. Whenever any Security Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Agent, and the Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder, and deliver the Security Certificates which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. All Security Certificates issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of a Security Certificate shall evidence the ownership of the same number of Securities and be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same obligations, under this Agreement as the Securities evidenced by the Security Certificate surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Every Security Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Agent) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Agent duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of a Security Certificate, but the Company and the 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 Security Certificates, other than any exchanges pursuant to Sections 306 and 805 not involving any transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to execute and deliver to the Agent, and the Agent shall not be obligated to authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder and deliver any Security Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange on or after the Final Settlement Date or the Termination Date. In lieu of delivery of a new Security Certificate, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions specified above in this Section and receipt of appropriate registration or transfer instructions from such Holder, the Agent shall (i) if the Final Settlement Date has occurred, deliver the shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of the Purchase 17 18 Contracts forming a part of the Securities evidenced by such Security Certificate, or (ii) if a Termination Event shall have occurred prior to the Final Settlement Date, transfer the principal amount or liquidation amount, as the case may be, of the Pledged Securities evidenced thereby, in each case subject to the applicable conditions and in accordance with the applicable provisions of Article Five hereof. The provisions of Clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) below shall apply only to Global Security Certificates: (1) Each Global Security Certificate authenticated and executed on behalf of the Holders under this Agreement shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated for such Global Security Certificate or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security Certificate shall constitute a single Security Certificate for all purposes of this Agreement. (2) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, no Global Security Certificate may be exchanged in whole or in part for Security Certificates registered, and no transfer of a Global Security Certificate in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security Certificate or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depositary (i) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security Certificate or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act or (b) there shall have occurred and be continuing a default by the Company in respect to its obligations under one or more Purchase Contracts. (3) Subject to Clause (2) above, any exchange of a Global Security Certificate for other Security Certificates may be made in whole or in part, and all Security Certificates issued in exchange for a Global Security Certificate or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for such Global Security Certificate shall direct. (4) Every Security Certificate authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security Certificate or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 304, 306, 509 or 805 or otherwise, shall be authenticated, executed on behalf of the Holders and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security Certificate, unless such Security Certificate is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security Certificate or a nominee thereof. Section 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Security Certificates. If any mutilated Security Certificate is surrendered to the Agent, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Agent, and the Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder, and deliver in exchange therefor, a new Security Certificate, evidencing the same number of Securities and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Agent (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security Certificate, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of any of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Agent that such Security Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Agent, and the Agent shall authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder, and deliver to the Holder, in lieu of any such 18 19 destroyed, lost or stolen Security Certificate, a new Security Certificate, evidencing the same number of Securities and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to execute and deliver to the Agent, and the Agent shall not be obligated to authenticate, execute on behalf of the Holder, and deliver to the Holder, a Security Certificate on or after the Final Settlement Date or the Termination Date. In lieu of delivery of a new Security Certificate, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions specified above in this Section and receipt of appropriate registration or transfer instructions from such Holder, the Agent shall (i) if the Final Settlement Date has occurred, deliver the shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of the Purchase Contracts forming a part of the Securities evidenced by such Security Certificate, or (ii) if a Termination Event shall have occurred prior to the Final Settlement Date, transfer the principal amount of the Pledged Securities evidenced thereby, in each case subject to the applicable conditions and in accordance with the applicable provisions of Article Five hereof. Upon the issuance of any new Security Certificate under this Section, the Company and the Agent may require the payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Agent) connected therewith. Every new Security Certificate issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security Certificate shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company and of the Holder, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security Certificate 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 Security 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 settlement of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security Certificates. Section 307. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Security Certificate for registration of transfer, the Company and the Agent, and any agent of the Company or the Agent, may treat the Person in whose name such Security Certificate is registered as the owner of the Securities evidenced thereby, for the purpose of receiving payments of distributions on the Pledged Securities, receiving payments of Contract Fees, performance of the Purchase Contracts and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not the payment of distributions on the Pledged Securities or any Contract Fee payable in respect of the Purchase Contracts constituting a part of the Securities evidenced thereby shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, and neither the Company nor the Agent, nor any agent of the Company or the Agent, shall be affected by notice to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Global Security Certificate, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Agent or any agent of the Company or the Agent, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by any Depositary (or its nominee), as a Holder, with respect to such Global Security Certificate or impair, as between such Depositary and owners of beneficial interests in such Global Security 19 20 Certificate, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of rights of such Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such Global Security Certificate. Section 308. Cancellation. All Security Certificates surrendered for delivery of shares of Common Stock on or after the Final Settlement Date, transfer of Pledged Securities after the occurrence of a Termination Event or pursuant to an Early Settlement or registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Agent, be delivered to the Agent and, if not already cancelled, shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Agent for cancellation any Security Certificates previously authenticated, executed and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Security Certificates so delivered shall, upon Issuer Order, be promptly cancelled by the Agent. No Security Certificates shall be authenticated, executed on behalf of the Holder and delivered in lieu of or in exchange for any Security Certificates cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement. All cancelled Security Certificates held by the Agent shall be disposed of as directed by Issuer Order. If the Company or any Affiliate of the Company shall acquire any Security Certificate, such acquisition shall not operate as a cancellation of such Security Certificate unless and until such Security Certificate is delivered to the Agent cancelled or for cancellation. Section 309. Securities Not Separable. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the Security Certificates to the contrary, for so long as the Purchase Contract underlying a Security remains in effect such Security shall not be separable into its constituent parts, and the rights and obligations of the Holder of such Security in respect of the Pledged Securities and Purchase Contracts constituting such Security may be acquired, and may be transferred and exchanged, only as a Security. Other than a Security Certificate evidencing a Security, no Holder of a Security, or any transferee thereof, shall be entitled to receive a certificate evidencing the ownership of Pledged Securities or the rights and obligations of the Holder and the Company under a Purchase Contract for so long as the Purchase Contract underlying the Security remains in effect. ARTICLE FOUR THE PLEDGED SECURITIES Section 401. Payment of Distributions; Rights to Distributions Preserved. Distributions on any Pledged Security which is paid on any Payment Date shall, subject to receipt thereof by the Agent from the Collateral Agent as provided by the terms of the Pledge Agreement, be paid to the Person in whose name the Security Certificate (or one or more Predecessor Security Certificates) of which such Pledged Security is a part is registered at the close of business on the Record Date next preceding such Payment Date. Each Security Certificate evidencing Pledged Securities delivered under this Agreement upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security Certificate shall carry the rights to distributions accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by the Pledged Securities underlying such other Security Certificate. 20 21 In the case of any Security with respect to which Early Settlement of the underlying Purchase Contract is effected on an Early Settlement Date after any Record Date and on or prior to the next succeeding Payment Date, distributions on the Pledged Securities underlying such Security otherwise payable on such Payment Date shall be payable on such Payment Date notwithstanding such Early Settlement, and such distributions shall, subject to receipt thereof by the Agent, be paid to the Person in whose name the Security Certificate (or one or more Predecessor Security Certificates) is registered at the close of business on the Record Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the immediately preceding sentence, in the case of any Security with respect to which Early Settlement of the underlying Purchase Contract is effected on an Early Settlement Date, distributions on the related Pledged Securities that would otherwise be payable after the Early Settlement Date shall not be payable hereunder to the Holder of such Security. Section 402. Transfer of Pledged Securities Upon Occurrence of Termination Event. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event and the transfer to the Agent of the Pledged Securities underlying such Securities pursuant to the terms of the Pledge Agreement, the Agent shall request transfer instructions with respect to such Pledged Securities from each Holder of Securities by written request mailed to such Holder at his address as it appears in the Security Register, in respect of the Pledged Securities underlying the Security Certificate held by such Holder. Upon surrender to the Agent of a Security Certificate with such transfer instructions in proper form for transfer of the Pledged Securities by Federal Reserve BankWire, book-entry transfer through the facilities of the Depositary Trust Company, or other appropriate procedure, the Agent shall transfer the Pledged Securities evidenced by such Security Certificate to such Holder in accordance with such instructions. If a Security Certificate is not duly surrendered to the Agent with appropriate transfer instructions, the Agent shall hold the Pledged Securities evidenced by such Security Certificate as custodian for the Holder of such Security Certificate. Pledged Securities shall be transferred only in denominations of $_____________ and integral multiples thereof. As promptly as practicable following the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Agent shall determine the excess of (i) the aggregate principal amount or liquidation preference, as the case may be, of Pledged Securities underlying the Outstanding Securities over (ii) the aggregate principal amount or liquidation preference, as the case may be, of Pledged Securities in denominations of $____________ and integral multiples thereof transferrable to Holders of record on the date of such Termination Event (such excess being herein referred to as the "Excess Pledged Securities"). As soon as practicable after transfer to the Agent of the Pledged Securities underlying the Outstanding Securities as provided in the Pledge Agreement, the Agent shall sell the Excess Pledged Securities to or through one or more registered broker dealers at then prevailing prices. The Agent shall deduct from the proceeds of such sales all commissions and other out-of-pocket transaction costs incurred in connection with such sales of Excess Pledged Securities and, until the net proceeds of such sale or sales have been distributed to Holders of the Securities, the Agent shall hold such proceeds in trust for the Holders of Securities. Each Holder shall be entitled to receive a portion, if any, of such net proceeds in lieu of Pledged Securities with a principal amount of less than $___________ determined by multiplying the aggregate amount of such net proceeds by a fraction, the numerator of which is the fraction of $_____________ in principal amount of Pledged Securities to which such Holder would otherwise be entitled (after taking into account all Securities then held by such Holder) and the denominator of which is the aggregate principal amount of Excess Pledged Securities. 21 22 ARTICLE FIVE THE PURCHASE CONTRACTS Section 501. Purchase of Shares of Common Stock. Each Purchase Contract shall obligate the Holder of the related Security to purchase, and the Company to sell, on the Final Settlement Date at a price equal to the Stated Amount, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Settlement Rate, unless, on or prior to the Final Settlement Date, there shall have occurred a Termination Event or an Early Settlement with respect to the Security of which such Purchase Contract is a part. The "Settlement Rate" is equal to (a) if the Applicable Market Value (as defined below) is greater than $ ___(the "Threshold Appreciation Price"), ____________ of a share of Common Stock per Purchase Contract, (b) if the Applicable Market Value is less than or equal to the Threshold Appreciation Price but is greater than the Stated Amount, a fractional share of Common Stock per Purchase Contract equal to the Stated Amount divided by the Applicable Market Value (rounded upward or downward to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share) and (c) if the Applicable Market Value is less than or equal to the Stated Amount, one share of Common Stock per Purchase Contract, in each case subject to adjustment as provided in Section 506. As provided in Section 510, no fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon settlement of Purchase Contracts. The "Applicable Market Value" means the average of the Closing Prices per share of Common Stock on each of the twenty consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day immediately preceding the Final Settlement Date. The "Closing Price" of the Common Stock on any date of determination means the closing sale price (or, if no closing price is reported, the last reported sale price) of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") on such date or, if the Common Stock is not listed for trading on the NYSE on any such date, as reported in the composite transactions for the principal United States securities exchange on which the Common Stock is so listed, or if the Common Stock is not so listed on a United States national or regional securities exchange, as reported by The Nasdaq Stock Market, or, if the Common Stock is not so reported, the last quoted bid price for the Common Stock in the over-the-counter market as reported by the National Quotation Bureau or similar organization, or, if such bid price is not available, the market value of the Common Stock on such date as determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained for this purpose by the Company. A "Trading Day" means a day on which the Common Stock (A) is not suspended from trading on any national or regional securities exchange or association or over-the- counter market at the close of business and (B) has traded at least once on the national or regional securities exchange or association or over-the-counter market that is the primary market for the trading of the Common Stock. Each Holder of a Security Certificate evidencing Securities, by his acceptance thereof, irrevocably authorizes the Agent to enter into and perform the related Purchase Contracts on his behalf as his attorney-in-fact, agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions thereof, covenants and agrees to perform his obligations under such Purchase Contracts, consents to the provisions hereof, irrevocably authorizes the Agent as his attorney-in-fact to enter into and perform the Pledge Agreement on his behalf as his attorney-in-fact, and consents to and agrees to be bound by the Pledge of the Pledged Securities underlying such Security Certificate pursuant to the Pledge Agreement. Each Holder of a Security, by his acceptance thereof, further irrevocably covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and in the manner provided in Section 504 and the Pledge Agreement, but subject to the terms thereof, payments in respect of principal or redemption price 22 23 of the Pledged Securities on the Final Settlement Date shall be paid by the Collateral Agent to the Company in satisfaction of such Holder's obligations under such Purchase Contract and such Holder shall acquire no right, title or interest in such payments. Upon registration of transfer of a Security Certificate evidencing Purchase Contracts, the transferee shall be bound (without the necessity of any other action on the part of such transferee), under the terms of this Agreement, the Purchase Contracts evidenced thereby and the Pledge Agreement and the transferor shall be released from the obligations under the Purchase Contracts evidenced by the Security Certificates so transferred. The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Security Certificate, by his acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, to be bound by the provisions of this paragraph. Section 502. Contract Fees. Subject to Section 503, the Company shall pay, on each Payment Date, the Contract Fees payable in respect of each Purchase Contract to the Person in whose name the Security Certificate (or one or more Predecessor Security Certificates) evidencing such Purchase Contract is registered at the close of business on the Record Date next preceding such Payment Date. The Contract Fee will be payable at the office of the Agent in the City of New York maintained for that purpose or, at the option of the Company, by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto at such address as it appears on the Security Register. Each Security Certificate delivered under this Agreement upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security Certificate shall carry the rights to Contract Fees accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by the Purchase Contracts evidenced by such other Security Certificate. In the case of any Security with respect to which Early Settlement of the underlying Purchase Contract is effected on an Early Settlement Date after any Record Date and on or prior to the next succeeding Payment Date, Contract Fees otherwise payable on such Payment Date shall be payable on such Payment Date notwithstanding such Early Settlement, and such Contract Fees shall be paid to the Person in whose name the Security Certificate evidencing such Security (or one or more Predecessor Security Certificates) is registered at the close of business on such Record Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the immediately preceding sentence, in the case of any Security with respect to which Early Settlement of the underlying Purchase Contract is effected on an Early Settlement Date, Contract Fees that would otherwise be payable after the Early Settlement Date with respect to the Purchase Contract underlying such Security shall not be payable. Section 503. Deferral of Payment Dates For Contract Fee. The Company shall have the right, at any time prior to the Final Settlement Date, to defer the payment of any or all of the Contract Fees otherwise payable on any Payment Date, but only if the Company shall give the Holders and the Agent written notice of its election to defer such payment (specifying the amount to be deferred) at least ten Business Days prior to the earlier of (i) the next succeeding Payment Date or (ii) the date the Company is required to give notice of the Record Date or Payment Date with respect to payment of such Contract Fee to the New York Stock Exchange or other applicable self-regulatory organization or to Holders of the Securities, but in any event not less than two Business Days prior to such Record Date. Any Contract Fees so deferred shall bear additional Contract Fees thereon at the rate of per annum set forth in 23 24 Appendix _____ hereto (computed on the basis set forth in Appendix ____), compounding on each succeeding Payment Date, until paid in full. Deferred Contract Fees (and additional Contract Fees accrued thereon) shall be due on the next succeeding Payment Date except to the extent that payment is deferred pursuant to this Section. No Contract Fees may be deferred to a date that is after the Final Settlement Date or, with respect to any particular Purchase Contract, Early Settlement thereof. Section 504. Payment of Purchase Price. The purchase price for the shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to a Purchase Contract shall be paid by application of payments received by the Company on the Final Settlement Date from the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Pledge Agreement in respect of the principal or redemption price, as the case may be, of the Pledged Securities Pledged to secure the obligations of the relevant Holder under such Purchase Contract. Such application shall satisfy in full the obligations under such Purchase Contract of the Holder of the Security of which such Purchase Contract is a part. 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 in full of the aggregate purchase price for the shares of Common Stock to be purchased thereunder in the manner herein set forth. Section 505. Issuance of Shares of Common Stock. Unless a Termination Event shall have occurred on or prior to the Final Settlement Date, on the Final Settlement Date, upon its receipt of payment in full of the purchase price for the shares of Common Stock purchased by the Holders pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article, and subject to Section 506(b), the Company shall deposit with the Agent, for the benefit of the Holders of the Outstanding Securities, one or more certificates representing the shares of Common Stock registered in the name of the Agent (or its nominee) as custodian for the Holders (such certificates for shares of Common Stock, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, being hereinafter referred to as the "Final Settlement Fund") to which the Holders are entitled hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, upon surrender of a Security Certificate to the Agent on or after the Final Settlement Date, together with settlement instructions thereon duly completed and executed, the Holder of such Security Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing that number of whole shares of Common Stock which such Holder is entitled to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article Five (after taking into account all Securities then held by such Holder) together with cash in lieu of fractional shares as provided in Section 510 and any dividends or distributions with respect to such shares constituting part of the Final Settlement Fund, but without any interest thereon, and the Security 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 on the Security Certificate. If any shares of Common Stock issued in respect of a Purchase Contract are to be registered to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Security Certificate evidencing such Purchase Contract is registered, no such registration shall be made unless the Person requesting such registration has paid any transfer and other taxes required by reason of such registration in a name other than that of the registered Holder of the Security Certificate evidencing such Purchase Contractor has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax either has been paid or is not payable. 24 25 Section 506. Adjustment of Settlement Rate. (a) Adjustments for Dividends, Distributions, Stock Splits, Etc. (1) In case the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of Common Stock of the Company in Common Stock, the Settlement Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be increased by dividing such Settlement Rate by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribu tion, such increase to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. For the purposes of this paragraph (1), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company. (2) In case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock (not being available on an equivalent basis to Holders of the Securities upon settlement of the Purchase Contracts underlying such Securities) entitling them, for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants (other than pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan), the Settlement Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination shall be increased by dividing such Settlement Rate by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such Current Market Price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase, such increase to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination. For the purposes of this paragraph (2), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company shall not issue any such rights, options or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company. 25 26 (3) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Settlement Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Settlement Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, such increase or reduction, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective. (4) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in paragraph (2) of this Section, any dividend or distribution paid exclusively in cash and any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (1) of this Section), the Settlement Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by dividing the Settlement Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution filed with the Agent) of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall all be such Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. In any case in which this paragraph (4) is applicable, paragraph (2) of this Section shall not be applicable. (5) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed in a Reorganization Event to which Section 506(b) applies or as part of a distribution referred to in paragraph (4) of this Section) in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (I) the aggregate amount of any other distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (5) or paragraph (6) of this Section has been made and (II) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of consideration payable in respect of any tender or exchange offer by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (5) or paragraph (6) of this Section has been made, exceeds 10% of the 26 27 product of the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the date for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date for determination, the Settlement Rate shall be increased so that the same shall equal the rate determined by dividing the Settlement Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for determination of the stockholders en titled to receive such distribution by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 10% and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date for determination and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on such date for determination. (6) In case a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender or exchange offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of Purchased Shares) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) that combined together with (I) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), as of the expiration of such tender or exchange offer, of consideration payable in respect of any other tender or exchange offer, by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender or exchange offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (5) of this Section or this paragraph (6) has been made and (II) the aggregate amount of any distributions to all holders of the Company's Common Stock made exclusively in cash within 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender or exchange offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (5) of this Section or this paragraph (6) has been made, exceeds 10% of the product of the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock as of the last time (the "Expiration Time") tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended) times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, then, and in each such case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the Expiration Time, the Settlement Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by dividing the Settlement Rate immediately prior to close of business on the date of the Expiration Time by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to (A) the product of (I) the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the date of the Expiration Time and (II) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time less (B) the amount of cash plus the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of 27 28 the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of Purchased Shares, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the product of (A) the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock as of the Expiration Time and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock out standing (including any tendered shares) as of the Expiration Time less the number of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares"). (7) The reclassification of Common Stock into securities including securities other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon a Reorganization Event to which Section 506(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 stockholders entitled to receive such distribution" and the "date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (4) of this Section), and (b) a subdivision 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 becomes effective" or "the day upon which such combination becomes effective", as the case may be, and "the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective" within the meaning of paragraph (3) of this Section). (8) The "Current Market Price" per share of Common Stock on any day means the average of the daily Closing Prices for the 5 consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the day in question and the day before the "ex" date with respect to the issuance or distribution requiring such computation. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "'ex' date", when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, shall mean the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market without the right to receive such issuance or distribution. (9) All adjustments to the Settlement Rate shall be calculated to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share of Common Stock (or if there is not a nearest 1/10,000th of a share to the next lower 1/10,000th of a share). No adjustment in the Settlement Rate shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent therein; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subparagraph are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. If an adjustment is made to the Settlement Rate pursuant to paragraph (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7) or (10) of this Section 506(a), an adjustment shall also be made to the Applicable Market Value solely to determine which of clauses (a), (b) or (c) of the definition of Settlement Rate in Section 501 will apply on the Final Settlement Date. Such adjustment shall be made by multiplying the Applicable Market Value by a fraction of 28 29 which the numerator shall be the Settlement Rate in clause (c) of the Settlement Rate definition in Section 501 immediately after such adjustment pursuant to paragraph (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7) or (10) of this Section 506(a) and the denominator shall be the Settlement Rate in clause (c) of the Settlement Rate definition in Section 501 immediately before such adjustment. (10) The Company may make such increases in the Settlement Rate, in addition to those required by this Section, as it considers to be advisable in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to any holders of shares of Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock or issuance of rights or warrants to purchase or subscribe for stock or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes or for any other reasons. (b) Adjustment for Consolidation, Merger or Other Reorganization Event. In the event of (i) any consolidation or merger of the Company, with or into another Person (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the continuing corporation and in which the Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger or consolidation is not exchanged for cash, securities or other property of the Company or another corporation), (ii) any sale, transfer, lease or conveyance to another Person of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, (iii) any statutory exchange of securities of the Company with another Person (other than in connection with a merger or acquisition) or (iv) any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (any such event, a "Reorganization Event"), the Settlement Rate will be adjusted to provide that each Holder of Securities will receive on the Final 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 by a Holder of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on account of each Purchase Contract if the Final Settlement Date had occurred immediately prior to such Reorganization Event, assuming such Holder of Common Stock is not a Person with which the Company consolidated or into which the Company merged or which merged into the Company or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be ("constituent Person"), or an Affiliate of a constituent Person, and failed to exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Reorganization Event (provided that if the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Reorganization Event is not the same for each share of Common Stock held immediately prior to such Reorganization Event by other than a constituent Person or an Affiliate thereof and in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised ("nonelecting share"), then for the purpose of this Section the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such Reorganization Event by each nonelecting share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the nonelecting shares). In the event of such a Reorganization Event, the Person formed by such consolidation, merger or exchange or the Person which acquires the assets of the Company or, in the event of a liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the Company or a liquidating trust created in connection therewith, shall execute and deliver to the Agent an agreement supplemental hereto providing that the Holders of each Outstanding Security shall have the rights provided by this Section 506. Such supplemental agreement shall provide for adjustments which, for events subsequent to the effective date of such supplemental 29 30 agreement, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section. The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Reorganization Events. Section 507. Notice of Adjustments and Certain Other Events. (a) Whenever the Settlement Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall: (i) forthwith compute the adjusted Settlement Rate in accordance with Section 506 and prepare and transmit to the Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the Settlement Rate, the method of calculation thereof in reasonable detail, and the facts requiring such adjustment and upon which such adjustment is based; and (ii) within 10 Business Days following the occurrence of an event that permits or requires an adjustment to the Settlement Rate pursuant to Section 506 (or if the Company is not aware of such occurrence, as soon as practicable after becoming so aware), provide a written notice to the Holders of the Securities of the occurrence of such event and a statement in reasonable detail setting forth the method by which the adjustment to the Settlement Rate was determined and setting forth the adjusted Settlement Rate. (b) The Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any holder of Securities to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Settlement Rate, or 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 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 Agent makes no representation with respect thereto. The Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Purchase Contract or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article. Section 508. Termination Event; Notice. The Purchase Contracts and the obligations and rights of the Company and the Holders thereunder, including, without limitation, the rights of the Holders to receive and the obligation of the Company to pay any Contract Fee, shall immediately and automatically terminate, without the necessity of any notice or action by any Holder, the Agent or the Company, if, on or prior to the Final Settlement Date, a Termination Event shall have occurred. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Company shall give written notice to the Agent, the Collateral 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 Securities shall thereafter represent the right to receive the Pledged Securities forming a part of such Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 402 and the Pledge Agreement. Section 509. Early Settlement. (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section 509 at the option of the Holder thereof, any Purchase Contracts underlying Securities having an 30 31 aggregate Stated Amount equal to $_________________ or an integral multiple thereof may be settled early ("Early Settlement") as provided herein. In order to exercise the right to effect Early Settlement with respect to any Purchase Contracts, the Holder of the Security Certificate evidencing such Purchase Contracts shall deliver such Security Certificate to the 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 in the form of a certified or cashier's check payable to the order of the Company in immediately available funds in an amount (the "Early Settlement Amount") equal to (i) the product of (A) the Stated Amount times (B) the number of Purchase Contracts with respect to which the Holder has elected to effect Early Settlement minus (ii) the aggregate amount of Contract Fees, if any, otherwise payable on or prior to the immediately preceding Payment Date deferred at the option of the Company pursuant to Section 503 and remaining unpaid as of such immediately preceding Payment Date plus (iii) if such delivery is made with respect to any Purchase Contracts during the period from the close of business on any Record Date next preceding any Payment Date to the opening of business on such Payment Date, an amount equal to the sum of (x) the Contract Fees payable on such Payment Date with respect to such Purchase Contracts plus (y) the distributions on the related Pledged Securities payable on such Payment Date. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence and subject to the last paragraph of Section 502, no payment or adjustment shall be made upon Early Settlement of any Purchase Contract on account of any Contract Fees accrued on such Purchase Contract or on account of any dividends on the Common Stock issued upon such Early Settlement. If the foregoing requirements are first satisfied with respect to Purchase Contracts underlying any Securities 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 Securities and if such requirements are first satisfied after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day, the "Early Settlement Date" with respect to such Securities shall be the next succeeding Business Day. (b) Upon Early Settlement of Purchase Contracts by a Holder of the related Securities, the Company shall issue, and the Holder shall be entitled to receive, a number of shares of Common Stock on account of each Purchase Contract as to which Early Settlement is effected equal to the Early Settlement Rate. The Early Settlement Rate shall initially be equal to _____________________ and shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the Settlement Rate is adjusted. As promptly as practicable after Early Settlement of Purchase Contracts in accordance with the provisions of this Section 509, the Company shall issue and shall deliver to the Agent at the Corporate Trust Office 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 510. (c) The Company shall cause the shares of Common Stock issuable, and Pledged Securities deliverable, upon Early Settlement of Purchase Contracts to be issued and delivered, in the case of such shares of Common Stock, and released from the Pledge by the Collateral Agent and transferred, in the case of such Pledged Securities, to the Agent, for delivery to the Holder thereof or its designee, no later than the third Business Day after the applicable Early Settlement Date. 31 32 (d) Upon Early Settlement of any Purchase Contracts, and subject to receipt thereof from the Company or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, the 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 Security Certificate evidencing the related Securities, (i) transfer the Pledged Securities forming a part of such Securities and (ii) deliver 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 510. (e) In the event that Early Settlement is effected with respect to Purchase Contracts underlying less than all the Securities evidenced by a Security Certificate, upon such Early Settlement the Company shall execute and the Agent shall authenticate, countersign and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a Security Certificate evidencing the Securities as to which Early Settlement was not effected. Section 510. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued or delivered upon settlement on the Final Settlement Date or upon Early Settlement of any Purchase Contracts. If Security 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 Security Certificates so surrendered. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock which would otherwise be deliverable upon settlement of any Purchase Contracts on the Final Settlement Date or upon Early Settlement, the Company, through the Agent, shall make a cash payment in respect of such fractional interest in an amount equal to the value of such fractional shares at the Closing Price per share on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Final Settlement Date or the related Early Settlement Date, respectively. The Company shall provide the Agent from time to time with sufficient funds to permit the Agent to make all cash payments required by this Section 510 in a timely manner. Section 511. Charges and Taxes. The Company will pay all stock transfer and similar taxes attributable to the initial issuance and delivery of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Contracts; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any such tax or taxes which may be payable in respect of any exchange of or substitution for a Security Certificate evidencing a Purchase Contract or any issuance of a share of Common Stock in a name other than that of the registered Holder of a Security Certificate surrendered in respect of the Purchase Contracts evidenced thereby, other than in the name of the Agent, as custodian for such Holder, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such share certificates or Security 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 SIX REMEDIES 32 33 Section 601. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Contract Fee. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional (subject to the right of the Company to defer payment thereof pursuant to Section 503), to receive payment of each installment of the Contract Fee with respect to the Purchase Contract constituting a part of such Security on the respective Payment Date for such Security and to purchase Common Stock pursuant to such Purchase Contract and, in each such case, to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment and right to purchase Common Stock, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. Section 602. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If any Holder of Securities 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 603. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security Certificates in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Holders of Securities 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 604. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such right. Every right and remedy given by this Article 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 605. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Agreement agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance of the Security Certificate evidencing such Security shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court 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 Agent for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as 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, 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 Company, to any suit instituted by the Agent, to any suit instituted by any Holder of Securities, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 33 34 10% of the Out standing Securities, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the distributions on any Pledged Security or the Contract Fee on any Purchase Contract on or after the respective Payment Date therefor constituting a part of the Securities held by such Holder, or for enforcement of the right to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Purchase Contracts constituting a part of the Securities held by such Holder. Section 606. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Agreement; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Agent or the Holders, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
