- 15 -

given such notice but failed to deliver the required cash prior to 11:00 A.M.

Upon maturity of the Pledged Treasury Securities [or Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be], the Securities Intermediary, at the written direction of the Collateral Agent, shall invest the Cash Proceeds of the maturing Pledged Treasury Securities [or Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be,] in Permitted Investments [maturing on or prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date]. Without receiving any instruction from any such Holder, the Collateral Agent shall apply the Proceeds of the related Pledged Treasury Securities [or Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be], to the settlement of such Purchase Contracts on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. In the event the sum of the Proceeds from the related Pledged Treasury Securities [or

- 16 -

Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio, as the case may be], and the investment earnings from the investment in Permitted Investments exceeds the aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchase Contracts being settled thereby, the Collateral Agent shall instruct the Securities Intermediary to distribute such excess, when received, to the Purchase Contract Agent for the benefit of such Holder for distribution to such Holder.

[SECTION 5.8 Tax Event Redemption.

If the Securities Intermediary receives notice from the Company or the Purchase Contract Agent that a Tax Event Redemption has occurred prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Securities Intermediary, promptly after receipt of such notice, shall apply the Redemption Amount to purchase the Treasury Portfolio and the Securities Intermediary shall credit the Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio to the Collateral Account and shall transfer the Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (B) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio to the Purchase Contract Agent for distribution to the Holders of the SPC Units. Upon credit to the Collateral Account of the Applicable Ownership Interest (as specified in clause (A) of the definition of such term) in the Treasury Portfolio having a Value equal to the liquidation amount of the Pledged Preferred Securities or the aggregate principal amount of the Pledged Notes, the Securities Intermediary shall release the Pledged Preferred Securities or the Pledged Notes, as applicable, from the Collateral Account and shall promptly transfer the Pledged Preferred Securities to the Trust and the Pledged Notes to the Company, as applicable.]

The Purchase Contract Agent may exercise, or refrain from exercising, any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the [Pledged Preferred Securities or] Pledged Notes or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Contract Agreement; provided, that the Purchase Contract Agent shall not exercise or shall not refrain from exercising such right, as the case may be, if, in the judgment of the Purchase Contract Agent, such action would impair or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the value of all or any of the [Pledged Preferred Securities or] Pledged Notes; and provided, further, that the Purchase Contract Agent shall give the Company and the Collateral Agent at least five Business Days’ prior written notice of the manner in which it intends to exercise, or its reasons for refraining from exercising, any such right. Upon receipt of any notices and other communications in respect of any [Pledged Preferred Securities or] Pledged Notes, including notice of any meeting at which holders of the [Preferred Securities or] Notes are entitled to vote or solicitation of consents, waivers or proxies of holders of the [Preferred Securities or] 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, execute and deliver to the Purchase Contract Agent such proxies and other instruments in respect of such [Pledged Preferred Securities or] Pledged Notes (in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent) as are prepared by the Purchase Contract Agent with respect to the [Pledged Preferred Securities or] Pledged Notes.
