     Participant to pay the purchase price on the third business day immediately

     the Depositary.

to have Senior Notes remarketed and sold on any Remarketing Date shall be
subject to the conditions

                                       4

to make payment upon tender of Senior Notes for Remarketing or to otherwise
expend or risk its own funds or incur or to be exposed to financial liability in
the performance of its duties under this Agreement, and without limitation of
the foregoing, the Remarketing Agent shall not be deemed an underwriter of the
Remarketed Senior Notes. The Company shall similarly not be obligated in any
case to provide funds to make payment upon tender of the Senior Notes for
Remarketing.

     (a)  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Remarketing
Agent, its officers and employees, and each person, if any, who controls the
Remarketing Agent within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which the
Remarketing Agent or such controlling person may become subject, under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or
regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any
litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the
Company), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions
in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based (i) upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including any information
deemed to be a part thereof under the Securities Act, or the omission or alleged
omission therefrom of a material fact, in each case, required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements

                                       10

<PAGE>

therein not misleading; or (ii) upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus, the
Prospectus or any other Remarketing Materials (or any amendment or supplement
thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact, in
each case, necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (iii) in whole
or in part upon any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the
Company contained herein; or (iv) in whole or in part upon any failure of the
Company to perform its obligations hereunder or under law; or (v) any act or
failure to act or any alleged act or failure to act by the Remarketing Agent in
connection with, or relating in any manner to, the Remarketed Senior Notes or
the Remarketing contemplated hereby, and which is included as part of or
referred to in any loss, claim, damage, liability or action arising out of or
based upon any matter covered by clause (i) or (ii) above, and to reimburse the
Remarketing Agent and each such controlling person for any and all expenses
(including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Remarketing
Agent) as such expenses are reasonably incurred by the Remarketing Agent or such
controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling,
compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or
action; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not
apply to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent, but only
to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Remarketing
Agent expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary
Prospectus, the Prospectus or any other Remarketing Materials (or any amendment
or supplement thereto); and provided, further, that with respect to any
Preliminary Prospectus, the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not inure to the
benefit of the Remarketing Agent if the person asserting any loss, claim,
damage, liability or expense purchased Remarketed Senior Notes, or any person
controlling the Remarketing Agent, if copies of the Prospectus were timely
delivered to the Remarketing Agent and a copy of the Prospectus (as then amended
or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or
supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of the Remarketing
Agent to such person, if required by law so to have been delivered, at or prior
to the written confirmation of the sale of the Remarketed Senior Notes to such
person, and if the Prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured
the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense. The
indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8(a) shall be in addition to any
liabilities that the Company may otherwise have.

     (b)  The Remarketing Agent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration
Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning
of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any loss, claim, damage,
liability or expense, as incurred, to which the Company, or any such director,
officer or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act, or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at
common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such
settlement is effected with the written consent of the Remarketing Agent),
insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect
thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any other Remarketing
Materials (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or arises out of or is based
upon the omission or alleged omission to state

                                       11

<PAGE>

therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the
extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary
Prospectus, the Prospectus or any other Remarketing Materials (or any amendment
or supplement thereto), in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by the Remarketing Agent expressly for use
therein; and to reimburse the Company, or any such director, officer or
controlling person for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred by the
Company, or any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim,
damage, liability, expense or action. The Company hereby acknowledges that the
only information that the Remarketing Agent has furnished to the Company
expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the
Prospectus or any other Remarketing Materials (or any amendment or supplement
thereto) is the information set forth in a certificate to be provided by the
Remarketing Agent on or prior to the Remarketing Date. The indemnity agreement
set forth in this Section 8(b) shall be in addition to any liabilities that each
Underwriter may otherwise have.

     (c)  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of
notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this
Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof,
but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from
any liability which it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or
otherwise than under the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8 or to
the extent it is not prejudiced as a proximate result of such failure. In case
any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified
party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the
indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that
it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified,
by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving
the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided,
however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party
and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably
concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying
party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or
that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified
parties which are different from or additional to those available to the
indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to
select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise
participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or
parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified
party of such indemnifying party's election so to assume the defense of such
action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party
will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal
or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed
separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence
(it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable
for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with local
counsel), approved by the indemnifying party (the Remarketing Agent in the case
of Section 8(b)), representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such
action) or (ii) the

                                       12

<PAGE>

indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the
indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time
after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the fees and
expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party.

     (d)  The indemnifying party under this Section 8 shall not be liable for
any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if
settled with such consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff, the
indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any loss,
claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment.
Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party
shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party
for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by Section 8(c) hereof, the
indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is
entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the
aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the
indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such
settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of
the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry
of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect
of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity was
or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such
settlement, compromise or consent (x) includes an unconditional release of such
indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of
such action, suit or proceeding and (y) does not include a statement as to or an
admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any
indemnified party.

     SECTION 9. Contribution.

     If the indemnification provided for in Section 8 is for any reason held to
be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified
party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses
referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the
aggregate amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as a
result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to
therein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Remarketing Agent, on
the other hand, from the Remarketing of the Remarketed Senior Notes pursuant to
this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not
permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not
only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative
fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Remarketing Agent, on the other
hand, in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the
representations and warranties herein which resulted in such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand,
and the Remarketing Agent, on the other hand, in connection with the Remarketing
of the Remarketed Senior Notes pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be
in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the
Remarketing of the Remarketed Senior Notes pursuant to this Agreement (before
deducting expenses) received by the Company, and the total Remarketing Fee
received by the Remarketing Agent, in each case as set forth on the front cover
page of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate Remarketing Price of the
Remarketed Senior Notes as set forth on such cover. The

                                       13

<PAGE>

relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Remarketing Agent, on
the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether
any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact or any such inaccurate or alleged
inaccurate representation or warranty relates to information supplied by the
Company, on the one hand, or the Remarketing Agent, on the other hand, and the
parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission.

     The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include,
subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8(c), any legal or other fees or
expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or
defending any action or claim.

     The provisions set forth in Section 8(c) with respect to notice of
commencement of any action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made
under this Section 9; provided, however, that no additional notice shall be
required with respect to any action for which notice has been given under
Section 8(c) for purposes of indemnification.

     The Company and the Remarketing Agent agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of
the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 9.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, the Remarketing Agent
shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which
the Remarketing Fee exceeds the amount of any damages which the Remarketing
Agent has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 9, each officer and
employee of the Remarketing Agent and each person, if any, who controls the
Remarketing Agent within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act
shall have the same rights to contribution as the Remarketing Agent, and each
director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration
Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning
of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to
contribution as the Company.

     SECTION 10. Resignation And Removal Of The Remarketing Agent.

     Banc of America, CSFB or UBS (the "Remarketing Agent Candidates") may
resign and be discharged from their duties and obligations hereunder, and the
Company may remove any of the Remarketing Agent Candidates, by giving 30 days'
prior written notice, in the case of a resignation, to the Company and the
Depositary and, in the case of a removal, to the removed Remarketing Agent
Candidate and the Depositary; provided, however, that if only one Remarketing
Agent Candidate remains:

     (a)  such Remarketing Agent Candidate may not resign without reasonable
cause; and

                                       14

<PAGE>

     (b)  no such resignation nor any such removal shall become effective until
the Company shall have appointed at least one nationally recognized
broker-dealer as successor Remarketing Agent and such successor Remarketing
Agent shall have entered into a remarketing agreement with the Company, in which
it shall have agreed to conduct the Remarketing in accordance with the
Transaction Documents in all material respects.

In any such case, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to
appoint a successor Remarketing Agent and enter into such a remarketing
agreement with such person as soon as reasonably practicable. The provisions of
Section 8 and Section 9 shall survive the resignation or removal of any
Remarketing Agent Candidate pursuant to this Agreement.

     SECTION 11. Dealing In Securities. The Remarketing Agent, when acting as a
Remarketing Agent or in its individual or any other capacity, may, to the extent
permitted by law, buy, sell, hold and deal in any of the Remarketed Senior
Notes, Corporate Units, Treasury Units or any of the securities of the Company
(together, the "Securities"). The Remarketing Agent may exercise any vote or
join in any action which any beneficial owner of such Securities may be entitled
to exercise or take pursuant to the Indenture with like effect as if it did not
act in any capacity hereunder. The Remarketing Agent, in its individual
capacity, either as principal or agent, may also engage in or have an interest
in any financial or other transaction with the Company as freely as if it did
not act in any capacity hereunder.

     SECTION 12. Remarketing Agent's Performance; Duty Of Care. The duties and
obligations of the Remarketing Agent shall be determined solely by the express
provisions of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. No implied covenants
or obligations of or against the Remarketing Agent shall be read into this
Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents. In the absence of bad faith on
the part of the Remarketing Agent, the Remarketing Agent may conclusively rely
upon any document furnished to it, as to the truth of the statements expressed
in any of such documents. The Remarketing Agent shall be protected in acting
upon any document or communication reasonably believed by it to have been
signed, presented or made by the proper party or parties except as otherwise set
forth herein. The Remarketing Agent, acting under this Agreement, shall incur no
liability to the Company or to any holder of Remarketed Senior Notes in its
individual capacity or as Remarketing Agent for any action or failure to act, on
its part in connection with a Remarketing or otherwise, except if such liability
is judicially determined to have resulted from its failure to comply with the
material terms of this Agreement or the gross negligence or willful misconduct
on its part. The provisions of this Section 12 shall survive the termination of
this Agreement and shall survive the resignation or removal of any Remarketing
Agent pursuant to this Agreement.

     SECTION 13. Termination. This Agreement shall automatically terminate (i)
as to the Remarketing Agent on the effective date of the resignation or removal
of the Remarketing Agent pursuant to Section 10 and (ii) on the earlier of (x)
any Special Event Redemption Date and (y) the Purchase Contract Settlement Date.
If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to any of the other provisions hereof,
except as otherwise provided herein, the Company shall not be under any
liability to the Remarketing Agent and the Remarketing Agent shall not be under
any liability to the Company, except that if this Agreement is terminated by the
Remarketing Agent because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company
to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement,
the Company will reimburse the Remarketing Agent for

                                       15

<PAGE>

all of its out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of its
counsel) reasonably incurred by it. Section 8, Section 9 and Section 12 hereof
shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of
the Remarketing Agent.

     SECTION 14. Notices. All statements, requests, notices and agreements
hereunder shall be in writing, and:

persons, if any, who control the Remarketing Agent within the meaning of Section
15 of the Securities Act and (y) the indemnity agreement of the Remarketing
Agent

                                       16

<PAGE>

contained in Section 8 of this Agreement shall be deemed to be for the benefit

construed to give any person, other than the persons referred to herein, any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement
or any provision contained herein.

     SECTION 16. Survival. The respective indemnities, representations,
warranties and agreements of the Company and the Remarketing Agent contained in
this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this
Agreement, shall survive any Remarketing and shall remain in full force and
effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any of them or
any person controlling any of them.

     SECTION 17. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of New York, without regard to conflicts
of laws principles.

     SECTION 18. Judicial Proceedings.

     (a)  Each party hereto expressly accepts and irrevocably submits to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of the United States Federal or New York State court
sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, over any
suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the
Securities. To the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law,
each party hereto irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion,
as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction
of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying
of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court
and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court
has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

     (b)  Each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may
effectively do so under applicable law, that a judgment in any suit, action or
proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 18(a) brought in any such court
shall be conclusive and binding upon such party, subject to rights of appeal and
may be enforced in the courts of the United States of America or the State of
New York (or any other court the jurisdiction to which the Company is or may be
subject) by a suit upon such judgment.

     SECTION 19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts and, if executed in more than one counterpart, the executed
counterparts shall each be deemed to be an original but all such counterparts
shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

     SECTION 20. Headings. The headings herein are inserted for convenience of
reference only and are not intended to be part of, or to affect the meaning or
interpretation of, this Agreement.

     SECTION 21. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held
or deemed to be or shall, in fact, be invalid, inoperative or unenforceable as
applied in any particular case in any or all jurisdictions because it conflicts
with any provisions of any constitution, statute, rule

                                       17

<PAGE>

or public policy or for any other reason, then, to the extent permitted by law,
such circumstances shall not have the effect of rendering the provision in
question invalid, inoperative or unenforceable in any other case, circumstance
or jurisdiction, or of rendering any other provision or provisions of this
Agreement invalid, inoperative or unenforceable to any extent whatsoever.

     SECTION 22. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended by an instrument in
writing signed by the parties hereto. The Company agrees that it will not enter
into, cause or permit any amendment or modification of the Transaction Documents
or any other instruments or agreements relating to the Senior Notes or the
Corporate Units that would in any way adversely affect the rights, duties or
obligations of any of Banc of America, CSFB or UBS, each as a potential
Remarketing Agent, without the prior written consent of Banc of America, CSFB
and UBS.

     SECTION 23. Successors And Assigns. The rights and obligations of the
Company hereunder may not be assigned or delegated to any other Person without
