appointment as Remarketing Agent, for the purpose of (i) remarketing the Remarketed Notes on behalf
of the holders thereof, (ii) determining, in consultation with the Company, in the manner provided
for herein and in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement and the Supplemental Indenture, the
Reset Rate for the Notes, and (iii) performing such other duties as are assigned to the Remarketing
Agent in the Transaction Documents.



     (b) Unless a Termination Event has occurred prior to such date, if the Company elects to
conduct an Early Remarketing during an Early Remarketing Period selected by the Company pursuant to
the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, the Remarketing Agent shall use its reasonable efforts
to remarket the Remarketed Notes at the applicable Remarketing Price. If the Remarketing Agent is
unsuccessful on the first Early Remarketing Date during such Early Remarketing Period, a subsequent
Remarketing shall be attempted (unless impracticable) by the Remarketing Agent on each of the two
following Early Remarketing Dates in that Early Remarketing Period until a Successful Early
Remarketing occurs. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall determine in its sole discretion
if and when to attempt an Early Remarketing, as the Company may postpone an Early Remarketing in
its absolute discretion.



     (c) In the case there is no Successful Early Remarketing during any Early Remarketing Period
or no Early Remarketing occurs on any Early Remarketing Date, if any, and unless a Termination
Event has occurred prior to such date, on the Final Remarketing Date or Dates in the Final
Remarketing Period, the Remarketing Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to remarket the
Remarketed Notes at the applicable Remarketing Price. It is understood and agreed that the
Remarketing on any Final Remarketing Date will be considered successful and no further attempts
will be made if the resulting proceeds are at least equal to the applicable Remarketing Price. The
Company may not postpone a Remarketing during the Final Remarketing Period.



     (d) In connection with each Remarketing, the Remarketing Agent shall determine, in
consultation with the Company, the terms of the Notes, including those which may be modified in
connection with the Remarketing pursuant to the Indenture, including the rate per annum, rounded to
the nearest one-thousandth (0.001) of one percent per annum, that the Notes should bear (the “Reset
Rate”) in order for the Remarketed Notes to have an aggregate market value



3









 




equal to at least the applicable Remarketing Price and that in the sole reasonable discretion
of the Remarketing Agent will enable it to remarket all of the Remarketed Notes at no less than the
applicable Remarketing Price in such Remarketing; provided that such rate shall not exceed the
maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law.




     (e) If, by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Remarketing Date, (1) the
Remarketing Agent is unable to remarket all of the Remarketed Notes, other than to the Company, at
the applicable Remarketing Price pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof or (2) the Remarketing
did not occur on such Remarketing Date because one of the conditions set forth in Section 6 hereof
was not satisfied, a Failed Remarketing shall be deemed to have occurred, and the Remarketing Agent
shall advise by telephone (and promptly deliver a notice in writing thereafter) the Depositary, the
Purchase Contract Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Company of any such Failed Remarketing.
Whether or not there has been a Failed Remarketing will be determined in the sole reasonable
discretion of the Remarketing Agent. In the event of a Failed Remarketing, the applicable interest
rate on the Notes will not be reset, and will continue to be the Coupon Rate set forth in the
Supplemental Indenture.



     (f) In the event of a Successful Remarketing, by approximately 4:30 p.m., New York City time,
on the applicable Remarketing Date, the Remarketing Agent shall advise, by telephone:




	 	(1)	 	the Depositary, the Purchase Contract Agent and the Company
(and promptly deliver a notice in writing thereafter) of the Reset Rate
determined by the Remarketing Agent in such Remarketing and the number of
Remarketed Notes sold in such Remarketing;
	 
	 	(2)	 	each purchaser (or the Depositary Participant thereof) of
Remarketed Notes of the Reset Rate and the number of Remarketed Notes such
purchaser is to purchase;
	 
	 	(3)	 	each such purchaser (if other than a Depositary Participant) to
give instructions to its Depositary Participant to pay the purchase price on
the Remarketing Settlement Date in same day funds against delivery of the
Remarketed Notes purchased through the facilities of the Depositary; and
	 
	 	(4)	 	each such purchaser (or Depositary Participant thereof) that
the Remarketed Notes will not be delivered until the Remarketing Settlement
Date and that if such purchaser wishes to trade the Remarketed Notes that it
has purchased prior to the third Business Day preceding the Remarketing
Settlement Date, such purchaser will have to specify an alternative settlement
cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent failed settlement.





     The Remarketing Agent shall also, if required by the Securities Act, deliver, in conformity
with the requirements of the Securities Act, to each purchaser a Prospectus in connection with the
Remarketing.



4









 





     (g) The proceeds from a Successful Remarketing (i) with respect to the Notes underlying the
Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes that are components of the Corporate Units, shall be paid
to the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 5.02 or 5.03, as applicable, of the Purchase
Contract and Pledge Agreement and (ii) with respect to the Separate Notes, shall be paid to the
Custodial Agent for payment to the holders of such Separate Notes in accordance with Section 5.02
or 5.03, as applicable, of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement.



     (h) It is understood and agreed that the Remarketing Agent shall not have any obligation
whatsoever to purchase any Remarketed Notes, whether in the Remarketing or otherwise, and shall in
no way be obligated to provide funds to make payment upon tender of Remarketed 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. Neither the Company nor the
Remarketing Agent shall be obligated in any case to provide funds to make payment upon tender of
the Remarketed Notes for Remarketing.

first distributed in connection with the Remarketing (the “Commencement Date”), (ii) on and as of
the applicable Remarketing Date and (iii) on and as of the Remarketing Settlement Date, that:



     (a) Each of the representations and warranties of the Company as set forth in Section 1 (other
than those made in subsection (h), (i) and (q)) of the Underwriting Agreement is true and correct
as if made on each of the dates specified above; provided that for purposes of this Section 3(a),

the Remarketing Agent prior to any such Remarketing (the “Remarketing Fee”), unless the
Company directs the Remarketing Agent to include such fee in the Remarketing Price and the
Remarketing Agent is able to remarket the Notes for an amount which includes the Remarketing Fee.
In any such case, the Remarketing Agent may deduct the applicable Remarketing Fee from any amount
of the proceeds from the Successful Remarketing in excess of the aggregate principal amount of
Remarketed Notes. Any unpaid portion of the Remarketing Fee shall be paid by the Company on the
Remarketing Settlement Date in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account
designated by the Remarketing Agent.

as a result of which the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would
include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material

circumstances under which they were made when such Prospectus (or in lieu
thereof, the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is

Section 7.

Indemnification.




     (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Remarketing Agent and any person who
controls the Remarketing Agent within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any loss, expense, liability or claim (including
the reasonable cost of investigation) which, jointly or severally, the Remarketing Agent or any
such controlling person may incur under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss,
expense, liability or claim arised out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any
Preliminary Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus taken together with any Issuer Free Writing
Prospectuses used at or prior to the time of the first sale (the “Disclosure Package”) or the
Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arises out of or is based upon any omission
or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such loss, expense, liability or
claim arises out of or is based upon any alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (i)
therein in conformity with the information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Remarketing
Agent to the Company expressly for use in such documents or (ii) in the Form T-1 Statement of
Eligibility under the Trust Indenture Act of the Indenture Trustee or arises out of or is based
upon any alleged omission to state therein a material fact in connection with such information
required to be stated therein or necessary to make such information not misleading. The Company’s
agreement to indemnify the Remarketing Agent or any such controlling person as aforesaid is
expressly conditioned upon the Company being notified of the action in connection therewith brought
against the Remarketing Agent or such controlling person by letter or telegram or facsimile
transmission addressed to the Company with reasonable promptness after the first legal process
which discloses the nature of the liability or claim shall have been served upon the Remarketing
Agent or such controlling person (or after the Remarketing Agent or such controlling person shall
have received notice of such service upon any agent designated by the Remarketing Agent or such
controlling person), but failure so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company from any
liability which it may have to the Remarketing Agent or to such controlling person otherwise than
on account of the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7.



     The Company shall assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any such liability or
claim, including the employment of counsel satisfactory to the Remarketing Agent or such
controlling person and the payment of all expenses. The Remarketing Agent or such controlling



10









 




person against whom such suit is brought shall have the right to employ one separate counsel
in any such suit and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of the Remarketing Agent or the expense of such controlling person unless
(i) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized by the Company or (ii) the
named parties to any such suit (including any impleaded parties) include the Remarketing Agent or
such controlling person and the Company and the Remarketing Agent or such controlling person shall
have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it
which are different from or additional to those available to the Company, in which case the Company
shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on the behalf of the Remarketing
Agent or on the behalf of such controlling person, it being understood, however, that the Company
shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related
actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be
liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (and any
required local counsel) for the Remarketing Agent and such controlling persons, which firm (and
local counsel, if any) shall be designated in writing by the Remarketing Agent. The Company shall
not be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its consent (which will not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of the
Company from all liability arising out of such loss, expense, liability or claim.




     The Company agrees to notify the Remarketing Agent with reasonable promptness of the
commencement of any litigation or proceedings against the Company or any of its officers or
directors in connection with the issue and sale of the Securities or with the Registration
Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any amendments or
supplements thereto.



     (b) The Remarketing Agent represents and warrants that the information furnished in writing to
the Company expressly for use with reference to the Remarketing Agent in the Registration
Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus does not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact and does not omit to state a material fact in connection
with such information required to be stated in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary
Prospectus or the Prospectus or necessary to make such information (in the case of the Preliminary
Prospectus or the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which such information was
provided) not misleading.



     The Remarketing Agent agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, its directors
and officers and any person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any loss, expense, liability or
claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) which, jointly or severally, the Company or
any other indemnified person may incur under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such loss,
expense, liability or claim arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus,
the Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto which is in reliance
on and in conformity with information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Remarketing Agent
to the Company expressly for use with reference to the Remarketing Agent, or arises out of or is
based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact in connection with such
information required to be stated in any



11









 




of such documents or necessary to make such information (in the case of the Preliminary
Prospectus, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which
such information was provided) not misleading. The Remarketing Agent’s agreement to indemnify the
Company and any other indemnified person as aforesaid is expressly conditioned upon the Remarketing
Agent being notified of the action in connection therewith brought against the Company or any other
indemnified person by letter, telegram, or facsimile transmission addressed to it at its address
furnished to the Company for the purpose, with reasonable promptness after the first legal process
which discloses the nature of the liability or claim shall have been served upon the Company or any
other indemnified person (or after the Company or any such person shall have received notice of
such service on any agent designated by the Company or any such person), but failure so to notify
the Remarketing Agent shall not relieve the Remarketing Agent from any liability which it may have
to the Company or any other indemnified person otherwise than on account of the indemnity agreement
contained in this Section 7.




     The Remarketing Agent shall assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any such
liability or claim, including the employment of counsel satisfactory to the Company or such other
person and the payment of all expenses. The Company or other indemnified person against whom such
suit is brought shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such suit and participate in
the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the
Company or such other indemnified person unless (i) the employment of such counsel has been
specifically authorized by the Remarketing Agent or (ii) the named parties to any suit (including
any impleaded parties) include the Company or such other indemnified person and the Remarketing
Agent, and the Company or such other indemnified person shall have been advised by such counsel
that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional
to those available to the Remarketing Agent, in which case the Remarketing Agent shall not have the
right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the Company or such other indemnified
person, it being understood, however, that the Remarketing Agent shall not, in connection with any
one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction
arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and
expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (and any required local counsel) for the
Company and such person, which firm (and local counsel, if any) shall be designated in writing by
the Company. The Remarketing Agent shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action
effected without its consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless such
settlement includes an unconditional release of the Remarketing Agent from all liability arising
out of such loss, expense, liability or claim.



Section 8.

Contribution.




     (a) If the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to or insufficient to
hold harmless an indemnified party under Sections 7(a) and 7(b) above for any reason other than as
specified therein in respect of any losses, expenses, liabilities or claims referred to therein,
then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses,
expenses, liabilities or claims (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to



12









 




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 Notes; or (ii) if the allocation
provided in 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 of the Remarketing Agent on the other hand in
connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, expenses, liabilities or
claims, 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 shall be deemed to be in
the same proportion as the total net proceeds (before deducting expenses) to the Company from the
Remarketing of the Remarketed Notes bears to the total fees received by the Remarketing Agent. The
relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Remarketing Agent on the other hand shall
be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates
to information supplied by the Company or by the Remarketing Agent 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 and
liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses
reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any claim or
action.




     (b) The Company and the Remarketing Agent agree that it would not be just or equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other
method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in
Section 8(a). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to
include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or
claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, 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 that the Remarketing Agent have 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.
The remedies provided for in Section 7 and Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any
rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.



Section 9.

Resignation and Removal of the Remarketing Agent.




     The Remarketing Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder,
and the Company may remove the Remarketing Agent, by giving 30 days’ prior written notice, in the
case of a resignation, to the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent and, in the case of a
removal, to the Remarketing Agent and the Purchase Contract Agent; provided, however, that 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



13









 




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 7 and Section 8 shall survive the resignation or
removal of the Remarketing Agent pursuant to this Agreement.



Section 10.

Dealing in Securities.




     The Remarketing Agent, when acting as the 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
Notes, Corporate Units, Treasury Units or any of the securities of the Company (collectively, 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 11.

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 shall have no
obligation to determine whether there is any limitation under applicable law on the Reset Rate on
the Notes or, if there is any such limitation, the maximum permissible Reset Rate on the Notes, and
it shall rely solely upon written notice from the Company (which the Company agrees to provide
prior to the eighth Business Day before the applicable Remarketing Date) as to whether or not there
is any such limitation and, if so, the maximum permissible Reset Rate. The Remarketing Agent,
acting under this Agreement, shall incur no liability to the Company or to any holder of Remarketed
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 (i) judicially
determined to have resulted from its failure to comply with the material terms of this Agreement or
bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part or (ii) determined pursuant to
Section 7 or 8 of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive the termination
of this Agreement and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Remarketing Agent pursuant to
this Agreement.



14









 





Section 12.

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 9 and (ii) on the
earlier of (x) the occurrence of a Termination Event and (y) the Business Day immediately following
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 all of its
out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of its counsel) reasonably incurred by
it. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, in the event there has been a Successful
Remarketing, the obligations set forth in Section 4 hereof shall survive and remain in full force
and effect until all amounts payable under said Section 4 shall have been paid in full. In
addition, Sections 7, 8 and 11 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the
resignation or removal of the Remarketing Agent.



Section 13.

of the Company contained in this Agreement shall also be deemed to be for the benefit of the
Remarketing Agent and the person or persons, if any, who control the Remarketing Agent within the

controlling the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act. Nothing contained

Section 15.

Survival.




     The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of
the Company or its officers and the Remarketing Agent set forth in or made pursuant to this
Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of the Remarketing Agent, the Company or any of the indemnified persons referred to in
Section 7 hereof, and will survive delivery of the Remarketed Notes. The provisions of Sections 7,
8 and 11 shall survive the termination and cancellation of this Agreement.



Section 16.

Governing Law.




     THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE
OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED WHOLLY WITHIN SUCH STATE.

     Each party hereto expressly accepts and irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction
of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York state
court sitting in New York City for the purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating
to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party irrevocably waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the
laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such
proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.



Section 18.

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 19.

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 20.

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 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 21.

Amendments.




     This Agreement may be amended by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto. Each
of the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent 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 Applicable Ownership Interests in Notes, the Notes or the Corporate Units that
would in any way adversely affect the rights, duties and obligations of the Remarketing Agent,
without the prior written consent of the Remarketing Agent.

any other Person without the prior written consent of the Remarketing Agent. The rights and
obligations of the Remarketing Agent hereunder may not be assigned or delegated to any other Person

provided for that purpose below.
