(c) Sale and Delivery of Contract Shares. Seller agrees to deliver, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Contract Shares to Purchaser on the Exchange Date. Unless Seller elects the Cash Settlement Alternative as provided in Section 2.3(d), delivery shall be effected by delivery by the Collateral Agent to the Custodian, for the account of Purchaser, of shares of Common Stock then held by the Collateral Agent as collateral under the Collateral Agreement, in an amount equal to the number of Contract Shares, rounded down to the nearest whole number. Alternatively, in accordance with Section 5.2 of the Collateral Agreement, Seller may elect to deliver shares of Common Stock in an amount equal to the number of Contract Shares, rounded down to the nearest whole number, to the Custodian for the account of Purchaser on the Exchange Date by notifying the Collateral Agent and the Custodian on or prior to the Exchange Date of such election, in which case, the Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Seller the shares of Common Stock then held by the Collateral Agent as collateral under the Collateral Agreement on the Exchange Date. Seller agrees to make a cash payment in respect of any fractional shares included in the Contract Shares at the Exchange Date, in an amount equal to the value of such fractional shares at the Average Market Price. In addition, if the difference between (A) the aggregate proceeds of any sale (net of any brokerage or related expenses) of any Common Stock or Marketable Securities sold by Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.4(f)(ii) of the Trust Agreement and (B) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock or Marketable

Securities so sold and the Average Market Price, is negative, Seller shall pay such difference to Purchaser. If such difference is positive, Purchaser shall pay the difference to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Reorganization Event shall have occurred prior to the Exchange Date then, in lieu of the foregoing, delivery shall be effected as follows: (i) in the case of any cash required to be delivered on the Exchange Date as provided in Section 6.2, by wire transfer to an account designated by Purchaser, in Federal (immediately available) funds; (ii) in the case of any Marketable Securities elected by Seller to be delivered in lieu of cash, as provided in Section 6.2, by delivery by the Collateral Agent to the Custodian, for the account of Purchaser, of the applicable number of Marketable Securities then held as collateral under the Collateral Agreement, as provided in Section 5.7 of the Collateral Agreement; and (iii) in the case of any cash included in the Accelerated Portion as provided in Section 6.2(b), by wire transfer as provided in clause (i) above or in the case of any non-cash assets included in such Accelerated Portion, by delivery of such assets to the Custodian, for the account of Purchaser. Alternatively, Seller may elect to deliver shares of Marketable Securities in lieu of cash, as provided in Section 6.2, to the Custodian for the account of Purchaser on the Exchange Date by notifying the Collateral Agent and the Custodian on or prior to the Exchange Date of such election, in which case, the Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Seller the shares of Marketable Securities then held by the Collateral Agent as collateral under the Collateral Agreement on the Exchange Date.

(d) Cash Settlement Alternative. At its option, Seller may deliver to Purchaser on the Exchange Date, in lieu of the Contract Shares, in whole or in part, an amount in cash (the “Cash Settlement Alternative”) equal to the value, based on the Average Market Price of the Contract Shares at the Exchange Date, of the number of shares Seller would otherwise be required to deliver on the Exchange Date (the “Full Share Number”), multiplied by the Cash Percentage (as defined below), paid by wire transfer to an account designated by Purchaser, in Federal (immediately available) funds, in which case the number of Contract Shares to be delivered by Seller on the Exchange Date will be the product of (x) 100% less the Cash Percentage and (y) the Full Share Number. If the Seller elects the Cash Settlement Alternative, it may do so by notice to Purchaser, the Collateral Agent and the Custodian (including as to the portion to be settled in cash as a fixed percentage between 0% and 100% (the “Cash Percentage”)) not less than 60 days, nor more than 90 days, preceding the Exchange Date then in effect, including with respect to the portion to be delivered in cash. If Seller elects the Cash Settlement Alternative, Purchaser shall provide notice of such election to the holders of the Securities, not less than 45 days, nor more than 90 days, prior to the Exchange Date as then in effect.

(e) Satisfaction of Obligations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if on or prior to the Exchange Date, Seller transfers Securities to Purchaser, free and clear of any Liens and Transfer Restrictions, for cancellation (any Securities so transferred being referred to in this Agreement as the “Transferred Securities”) then the number of Contract Shares, or the cash in lieu thereof in the event the Cash Settlement Alternative is elected, deliverable by Seller pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced by a number equal to the product of (i) the number of Contract Shares before giving effect to any such transfers and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Transferred Securities and the denominator of which is the sum of the Firm Share Base Amount and the Additional Share Base Amount (rounded down to the nearest whole share).

Section 6.1 Dilution Adjustments. The Exchange Rate, Appreciation Threshold Price and Initial Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

(a) Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company shall, after the date of this Agreement,

(i) pay a stock dividend or make a distribution with respect to the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock;

(ii) subdivide or split the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock; or

(iii) combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock;

then, in each such case, the Exchange Rate shall be multiplied by a Dilution Adjustment equal to the fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the effective time of the adjustment relating to such event (giving effect to such event as of such effective time), and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the adjustment relating to such event. The Appreciation Threshold Price and Initial Price shall also be adjusted in the manner described in Section 6.1(f).

(b) Right or Warrant Issuances. If the Company shall, after the date of this Agreement, issue, or declare a record date in respect of an issuance of, rights or warrants to all holders of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Then-Current Market Price of the Common Stock (other than rights to purchase Common Stock pursuant to a plan for the reinvestment of dividends or interest) for the five Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such issuance, then, in each such case, the Exchange Rate shall be multiplied by a Dilution Adjustment equal to a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall

be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the time (determined as described below) the adjustment is effected by reason of the issuance of those rights or warrants, plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase pursuant to those rights or warrants, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before the time (determined as described below) the adjustment is effected by reason of the issuance of those rights or warrants, plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock that the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at the Then-Current Market Price of the Common Stock for the five Trading Days ending on, and including the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such issuance, which shall be determined by multiplying the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase by the exercise price of such rights or warrants and dividing the product so obtained by such Then-Current Market Price. For purposes of this Section 6.1(b), in determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase, or exercise a conversion right for, Common Stock at less than the applicable Then-Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate exercise or conversion price payable for such Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained for this purpose by the Administrator, whose determination shall be conclusive. The Appreciation Threshold Price and Initial Price shall also be adjusted in the manner described in Section 6.1(f).

(c) Distributions of Other Assets. If the Company shall, after the date of this Agreement, declare or pay a dividend or make a distribution to all holders of Common Stock, in either case, consisting of evidences of its indebtedness or other non-cash assets (excluding (A) any dividends or distributions referred to in Section 6.1(a) and (B) any Spin-Off Distributions) or shall issue to all holders of Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (other than rights or warrants referred to in Section 6.1(b)), then, in each such case, the Exchange Rate shall be multiplied by a Dilution Adjustment equal to a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the Then-Current Market Price per share of Common Stock for the five Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such distribution, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be such Then-Current Market Price per share of Common Stock for the five Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such distribution, less the fair market value (as determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained for this purpose by the Administrator, whose determination shall be conclusive) as of the time the adjustment is effected of the portion of those evidences of indebtedness or non-cash assets or rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock. An adjustment to each Exchange Rate made pursuant to this Section 6.1(c) shall be made successively whenever any such distribution is made. The Appreciation Threshold Price and Initial Price shall also be adjusted in the manner described in Section 6.1(f).

(d) Cash Dividends. If the Company shall, after the date of this Agreement, declare a record date in respect of a distribution of cash (other than any cash distributed in consideration of fractional shares of Common Stock and any cash distributed in a Reorganization Event), by dividend or otherwise, to all holders of Common Stock, then the Exchange Rate will be multiplied by a Dilution Adjustment equal to a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the Then-Current Market Price per share of Common Stock for the five Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be such Then-Current Market Price per share of Common Stock for the five Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution, less the amount in cash per share that the Company distributes to holders of Common Stock. The Appreciation Threshold Price and Initial Price shall also be adjusted in the manner described in Section 6.1(f).

(e) Tender or Exchange Offers. If the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall, after the date of this Agreement, make a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the Common Stock (other than a tender offer solely to holders of fewer than 100 shares of Common Stock), and the cash and the value (as determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained for this purpose by the Administrator, whose determination shall be conclusive), of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the Then-Current Market Price for the five consecutive Trading Day period commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the last day on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, then the Exchange Rate will be multiplied by a Dilution Adjustment equal to a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the aggregate cash and the value (as determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained for this purpose by the Administrator, whose determination shall be conclusive), on the expiration date, of the other consideration paid or payable for shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer, plus (B) the product of (x) the Then-Current Market Price per share of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Day period commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the expiration date (such period, the “Tender Offer Valuation Period”), multiplied by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the time (the “Expiration Time”) such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to such tender offer or exchange offer), and (ii) the denominator of which shall be such Then-Current Market Price per share of Common Stock for the Tender Offer Valuation Period multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Expiration Time (prior to giving effect to such tender offer or exchange offer). If the application of the foregoing formula would result in a decrease in the Exchange Rate, no adjustment to the Exchange Rate will be made. The Appreciation Threshold Price and Initial Price shall also be adjusted in the manner described in Section 6.1(f).

(f) Corresponding Adjustments to Initial Price, Appreciation Threshold Price and Closing Price.

(i) If any adjustment is made to the Exchange Rate pursuant to Section 6.1(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e), the Appreciation Threshold Price and the Initial Price shall also be adjusted by dividing each of the Appreciation Threshold Price and the Initial Price by the applicable Dilution Adjustment.

(ii) If, during any Calculation Period used in calculating the Average Market Price or the Then-Current Market Price, an adjustment to the Exchange Rate becomes effective pursuant to this Section 6.1, then the average Closing Prices used to calculate such Average Market Price or Then-Current Market Price for the trading days preceding the effective date of the adjustment in the Exchange Rate shall be adjusted proportionally to the corresponding adjustments to the Initial Price and Threshold Appreciation Price.

(g) Timing of Dilution Adjustments. Each Dilution Adjustment shall be effected:

(i) in the case of any adjustment made pursuant to Section 6.1(a), immediately after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, split or combination, as applicable;

(ii) in the case of any adjustment made pursuant to Section 6.1(b), immediately after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such rights or warrants;

(iii) in the case of any adjustment made pursuant to Section 6.1(c), immediately after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution;

(iv) in the case of any adjustment made pursuant to Section 6.1(d), immediately after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such dividend or distribution; and

(v) in the case of any adjustment made pursuant to Section 6.1(e), immediately after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the final Trading Day of the Tender Offer Valuation Period; provided, that if the Exchange Date occurs within the five consecutive Trading Days next succeeding the expiration date, references with respect to “five consecutive Trading Day period” in Section 6.1(e) shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the expiration date and the Exchange Date in determining the applicable Exchange Rate.

(h) General; Failure of Dilution Event to Occur. All Dilution Adjustments shall be rounded upward or downward to the nearest 1/10,000th or, if there is not a nearest 1/10,000th, to the next lower 1/10,000th. No adjustment in the Exchange Rate shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent in the Exchange Rate; provided, however, that any adjustments that by reason of this sentence are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in Section 6.1(a) is declared but not so paid or made, or the outstanding shares of Common Stock are not subdivided, split or combined, as the case may be, each new Exchange Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the board of directors of the Company determines not to pay such dividend or distribution or to effect such subdivision, dividend, distribution, split or combination, to the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such subdivision, dividend, distribution, share split or share combination had not been declared or announced. If any rights or warrants described in Section 6.1(b) are not so issued, the Exchange Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Company’s board of directors publicly announces its decision not to issue such rights or warrants, to the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such issuance had not been declared. If any rights or warrants described in Section 6.1(b) are not exercised or converted

prior to the expiration of the exercisability or convertibility thereof, the Exchange Rate shall be readjusted to the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if the adjustments made upon the issuance of such right or warrant had been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of the Common Stock actually delivered. If any dividend or distribution described in Section 6.1(d) is declared but not so paid or made, each new Exchange Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Company’s board of directors publicly announces its decision not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Company or one of its subsidiaries is obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any tender or exchange offer described in Section 6.1(e), but the Company or such subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchase, or all such purchases are rescinded, then each new Exchange Rate shall be readjusted to be the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made. If a Reorganization Event shall occur after the occurrence of one or more events requiring an adjustment pursuant to this Section 6.1, the Dilution Adjustments previously applied to the Exchange Rate in respect of such events shall not be rescinded but shall be applied to the new Exchange Rate provided for under Section 6.2.

Section 6.2 Adjustment for Consolidation, Merger or Other Reorganization Event.

(a) In the event of (i) any consolidation or merger of the Company, or any surviving entity or subsequent surviving entity of the Company (a “Company Successor”), with or into another entity (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 corporation of the property of the Company or any Company Successor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, (iii)(x) any statutory exchange of securities of the Company or any Company Successor with another corporation or (y) any sale of all or substantially all of the outstanding equity securities of the Company or any Company Successor, including pursuant to any plan of arrangement or similar scheme with the Company’s stockholders under any applicable law, rule or regulation or order of any court or governmental authority (in the case of each of the preceding clauses (x) and (y), other than in connection with a consolidation or merger referred to in clause (i) immediately above), or (iv) any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or any Company Successor (any such event described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), a “Reorganization Event”), Seller shall deliver on the Exchange Date, in lieu of the Contract Shares, cash in an amount (the “Basic Reorganization Event Amount”) equal to the product of (x) the sum of the Firm Shares and the Additional Shares and (y)(i) if the Transaction Value is less than the Appreciation Threshold Price but equal to or greater than the Initial Price, the Initial Price, (ii) if the Transaction Value is equal to or greater than the Appreciation Threshold Price, 0.8333 multiplied by the Transaction Value, and (iii) if the Transaction Value is less than the Initial Price, the Transaction Value. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the consideration received by the holders of the Common Stock in the Reorganization Event (the “Merger Consideration”) includes any Marketable Securities, Seller may, at its option, deliver those Marketable Securities on the Exchange Date in lieu of delivering an amount of cash equal to the value of those Marketable Securities as described above based on the Average Market Price of the Marketable Securities on the Exchange Date.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 6.2(a), if at least 30% of the Merger Consideration in any Reorganization Event consists of property, other than Marketable Securities (a “Cash Merger”), then Seller shall be required (i) within five Business Days after Seller receives the Merger Consideration, to deliver the Accelerated Portion to Purchaser; provided, that to the extent the Accelerated Portion consists of property other than cash or cash equivalents, Seller may, at its option, deliver, in lieu of such other property, cash in an amount equal to the Value of such other property; and (ii) on the Exchange Date, to deliver to Purchaser the number of Marketable Securities equal to the product of (x) the sum of the Firm Share Base Amount and the Additional Share Base Amount and (y) the Exchange Rate, adjusted as described in the next sentence, and the provisions of Section 2.3(c) shall apply mutatis mutandis to such Marketable Securities, provided that Seller may exercise the Cash Settlement Alternative in respect of such Marketable Securities, in which case Section 2.3(d) shall apply to such election mutatis mutandis to such Marketable Securities, and Seller shall deliver cash equal to the value, based on the Average Market Price of the Marketable Securities at the Exchange Date, of the number of Marketable Securities that the Seller would otherwise be required to deliver on the Exchange Date. For purposes of calculating such Exchange Rate, (A) the Initial Price and Appreciation Threshold Price shall each be adjusted by multiplying the Initial Price and Appreciation Threshold Price, as applicable, as then in effect, by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the Value of a share of the Marketable Securities, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the Transaction Value; and (B) the Exchange Rate shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exchange Rate (computed on the basis of the adjusted Initial Price and Appreciation Threshold Price and the Average Market Price of the Marketable Securities) by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the aggregate Value of the Marketable Securities included in the Merger Consideration received in exchange for a single share of Common Stock, and (ii) the denominator of which is the Value of a share of the Marketable Securities.

(c) If a Cash Merger occurs during a Calculation Period used to calculate the Average Market Price, average Closing Price or Transaction Value, then the average Closing Prices used to calculate such Average Market Price, the average Closing Price or the average Closing Price referred to in clause (iii) of the definition of Transaction Value, in each case for the Trading Days preceding the effective date of the adjustment in the Exchange Rate, shall be adjusted proportionally to the corresponding adjustments to the Initial Price and Threshold Appreciation Price.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, if 100% of the Merger Consideration in a Cash Merger consists of cash, then delivery of the entire Merger Consideration will be accelerated as set forth in Section 6.2(b) above.

Section 6.3 Spin-Off Distributions. (a) If the Company shall, after the date of this Agreement or during the term of this Agreement, make a Spin-Off Distribution, then for all purposes of this Agreement, from and after the record date in respect of such Spin-Off Distribution, (i) the Contract Shares shall be deemed to include both (A) that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the sum of the Firm Share Base Amount and the Additional Share Base Amount and (y) the Exchange Rate, and (B) that number of Marketable Securities of the class distributed in respect of the Contract Shares in such Spin-Off Distribution equal to the product of (x) the sum of the Firm Share Base Amount and the Additional Share Base Amount, (y) the Exchange Rate, and (z) the number of shares of such Marketable Securities

distributed per share of Common Stock in the Spin-Off Distribution; (ii) Seller’s obligations under Section 2.3 shall include delivery of such Marketable Securities together with the Common Stock comprising the Contract Shares and the provisions of Section 2.3(c) shall apply mutatis mutandis to such Marketable Securities; and (iii) the “Closing Price” of the Common Stock, for purposes of calculating the Exchange Rate and for all other purposes under the Agreement, shall thereafter be deemed to be equal to the sum of (A) the Closing Price per share of Common Stock and (B) the product of (x) the Closing Price per share of the spun-off Marketable Securities and (y) the number of shares of such Marketable Securities distributed per share of Common Stock in the Spin-Off Distribution. The formula for determining the “Closing Price” in this Section 6.3(a) will be adjusted if any event that would, if it had occurred with respect to the Common Stock or the Company, have required an adjustment pursuant to the provisions described under Article VI hereof occurs with respect to those Marketable Securities or their issuer between the time of the Spin-Off Distribution and the Exchange Date.

(b) Instead of delivering Marketable Securities on the Exchange Date, Seller may exercise the Cash Settlement Alternative in respect of such Marketable Securities, in which case Section 2.3(d) shall apply to such election mutatis mutandis to such Marketable Securities, and Seller shall deliver cash equal to the value, based on the Average Market Price of the Marketable Securities at the Exchange Date, of the number of Marketable Securities that the Seller would otherwise be required to deliver on the Exchange Date.

Section 6.4 Adjustments with Respect to Marketable Securities. The number of any Marketable Securities included in any calculation pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to adjustment if any event that would, had it occurred with respect to the Common Stock or the Company, have required an adjustment pursuant to Article VI hereof, shall occur with respect to such Marketable Securities or the issuer of such Marketable Securities between the time of the Spin-Off Distribution or Reorganization Event and the Exchange Date. Adjustment for such subsequent events shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in Article VI hereof.

ARTICLE VII

ACCELERATION UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT; TRANSFER AGENT
INSTRUCTIONS

Section 7.1 Events of Default. If one or more of the following events (each an “Event of Default”) shall occur:

(a) Seller or ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall commence a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking a liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to such person’s debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of such person or any substantial part of such person’s property, or shall consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against such person, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall take any action to authorize any of the foregoing; or

(b) an involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced against Seller or ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to such person or such person’s debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of such person or any substantial part of such person’s property, and such involuntary case or other proceeding shall remain undismissed and unstayed for a period of 60 days; or an order for relief shall be entered against such person under the federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter in effect; or

(c) a Collateral Event of Default within the meaning of the Collateral Agreement shall occur;

then, upon the occurrence of any such event, Seller’s obligations under this Agreement will automatically be accelerated and Seller shall become obligated to deliver the Contract Shares (or, after a Reorganization Event or Spin-Off Distribution, the Marketable Securities or cash or other assets or a combination of Marketable Securities or cash or other assets deliverable instead of or in addition to those shares of Common Stock) then deliverable under this Agreement, or any U.S. Government Securities or other property then pledged as collateral under the Collateral Agreement for Seller’s obligations. Purchaser and Seller agree that such amount is a reasonable preestimate of loss and not a penalty. Such amount is payable for the loss of bargain and Purchaser will not be entitled to recover additional damages as a consequence of any loss resulting from an Event of Default.

Section 7.2 Transfer Agent Instructions. Seller agrees to provide the transfer agent for the Common Stock or any Marketable Securities with standing instructions to pay over directly to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of Purchaser all cash or other property received in respect of distributions or dividends on the Common Stock or Marketable Securities or in connection with a Reorganization Event. Purchaser agrees to instruct the Collateral Agent, and to cause the Collateral Agent, to promptly pay over to Seller any dividends, interest, principal or other payments received by the Collateral Agent on any collateral pledged by Seller, including any substitute collateral, unless Seller is in default on its obligations under the Collateral Agreement (including Seller’s obligation to pledge additional shares of Common Stock when required under the Collateral Agreement), or unless the payment of that amount to Seller would cause the collateral to become insufficient under the Collateral Agreement. Seller will have the right to vote any pledged shares of Common Stock or Marketable Securities for so long as those shares are owned by it and pledged under the Collateral Agreement, unless an event of default occurs under this Agreement or the Collateral Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII
