(b) Unless a Special Event Redemption or a Termination Event has occurred prior to such date, on the fifth Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date (the “Initial Remarketing Date”), each of the Remarketing Agents, severally and not jointly, shall use its reasonable efforts to remarket (“Initial Remarketing”) the Remarketed Senior Notes, at the Remarketing Price.

(c) In the case of a Failed Remarketing on the Initial Remarketing Date and unless a Special Event Redemption or a Termination Event has occurred prior to such date, on the fourth Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date (the “Second Remarketing Date”), each of the Remarketing Agents, severally and not jointly, shall use its reasonable efforts to remarket (the “Second Remarketing”) the Remarketed Senior Notes at the Remarketing Price.

(d) In connection with each Remarketing, the Remarketing Agents shall determine, in consultation with the Company, the rate per annum, rounded to the nearest one-thousandth (0.001) of one percent per annum, that the Senior Notes should bear (the “Reset Rate”) in order for the Remarketed Senior Notes to have an aggregate market value equal to the Remarketing Price and that in the sole reasonable discretion of the Remarketing Agents will enable the Remarketing Agents to remarket all of the Remarketed Senior Notes at the 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 Agents are unable to remarket all of the Remarketed Senior Notes, other than to the Company, at the 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 7 hereof was not satisfied, a Failed Remarketing shall be deemed to have occurred, and the Remarketing Agents shall advise by telephone the Depositary, the Purchase Contract Agent and the Company. Whether or not there has been a Failed Remarketing will be determined in the sole reasonable discretion of the Remarketing Agents.

(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 Agents shall advise, by telephone:

(1) the Depositary, the Purchase Contract Agent, the Indenture Trustee and the Company of the Reset Rate determined by the Remarketing Agents in such Remarketing and the aggregate principal amount of Remarketed Senior Notes sold in such Remarketing;

(4) each such purchaser (or Depositary Participant thereof) that the Remarketed Senior Notes will not be delivered until the Remarketing Settlement Date, and, in the case of the Initial Remarketing Date or the Second Remarketing, the Remarketing Settlement Date will be five Business Days or four Business Days, respectively, following the date of such Remarketing and that if such purchaser wishes to trade the Remarketed Senior 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.

Each of the Remarketing Agents, severally and not jointly, 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.

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

(i) It is understood and agreed that the Remarketing Agents shall not have any obligation whatsoever to purchase any Remarketed Senior Notes, whether in the Remarketing or otherwise, and shall in no way be obligated to provide funds to make payment upon tender of Remarketed Senior Notes for Remarketing or to otherwise expend or risk its or their own funds or incur or to be exposed to financial liability in the performance of its or their duties under this Agreement.

Section 5. Covenants of the Company.

The Company covenants and agrees as follows:

(a) If and to the extent the Remarketed Senior Notes are required (in the view of counsel, which need not be in the form of a written opinion, for either the Remarketing Agents or the Company) to be registered under the Securities Act as in effect at the time of the Remarketing,

(1) to prepare the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus, each in a form approved by the Remarketing Agents, and to file any such Preliminary Prospectus and Prospectus pursuant to the Securities Act within the period required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder;

(2) to prepare the Final Term Sheet and to file such Final Term Sheet with the Commission in compliance with Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act;

(3) to file promptly with the Commission any amendment to the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Term Sheet, any other Free Writing Prospectus and the Prospectus and any supplement to the Prospectus that may, in the reasonable judgment of the Company or the Remarketing Agents, be required by the Securities Act or requested by the Commission;

(4) to advise the Remarketing Agents, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the time when any amendment to the Registration Statement has been filed or becomes effective or any supplement to the Prospectus or any amended Prospectus has been filed and to furnish the Remarketing Agents with copies thereof;

(6) to advise the Remarketing Agents, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending the use of the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus, of the suspension of the qualification of any of the Remarketed Senior Notes for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for any such purpose, or of any request by the Commission for the amending or supplementing of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus or for additional information, and, in the event of the issuance of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending the use of the Time of Sale Prospectus or Prospectus or suspending any such qualification, to use promptly its best efforts to obtain its withdrawal;

(7) to furnish promptly to the Remarketing Agents such copies of the following documents as the Remarketing Agents shall reasonably request: (A) conformed copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed with the Commission and each amendment thereto (in each case excluding exhibits); (B) the Preliminary Prospectus and any amended or supplemented Preliminary Prospectus; (C) the Prospectus and any amended or supplemented Prospectus; (D) the Final Term Sheet; (E) any Free Writing Prospectus; and (F) any document incorporated by reference in the Prospectus (excluding exhibits thereto);

(8) if the Time of Sale Prospectus is being used to solicit offers to buy the Remarketed Senior Notes at a time when the Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers and any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Time of Sale Prospectus in order to make the

statements therein, in the light of the circumstances, not misleading, or if any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which the Time of Sale Prospectus conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement then on file, forthwith to prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Remarketing Agents and to any dealer upon request, either amendments or supplements to the Time of Sale Prospectus so that the statements in the Time of Sale Prospectus as so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when delivered to a prospective purchaser, be misleading or so that the Time of Sale Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will no longer conflict with the Registration Statement;

(9) if at any time when delivery of a prospectus (or in lieu thereof the notice referred to in Rule 173(a) under the Securities Act) is required in connection with the Remarketing, any event shall have occurred 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 fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the 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 delivered, not misleading, or if for any other reason it shall be necessary during such same period to amend or supplement the Prospectus or to file under the Exchange Act any document incorporated by reference in the Prospectus in order to comply with the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, to notify the Remarketing Agents and, upon their request, to file such document and to prepare and furnish without charge to the Remarketing Agents and to any dealer in securities as many copies as the Remarketing Agents may from time to time reasonably request of an amended or supplemented Prospectus that will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance;

(10) prior to filing with the Commission (A) any amendment to the Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus or (B) any Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, to furnish a copy thereof to the Remarketing Agents and counsel to the Remarketing Agents; and not to file any such amendment or supplement that shall be reasonably disapproved by the Remarketing Agents promptly after reasonable notice;

(11) to furnish to the Remarketing Agents and counsel to the Remarketing Agents a copy of each proposed Free Writing Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of, used by, or referred to by the Company and not to use or refer to any proposed Free Writing Prospectus to which the Remarketing Agents reasonably object;

(12) not to take any action that would result in a Remarketing Agent or the Company being required to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act a Free Writing Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of the Remarketing Agents that the Remarketing Agents otherwise would not have been required to file thereunder;

(13) as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than eighteen months, after the date of a Successful Remarketing, to make “generally available to its security holders” an “earnings statement” of the Company and its subsidiaries complying with

(which need not be audited) Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder (including, at the option of the Company, Rule 158). The terms “generally available to its security holders” and “earnings statement” shall have the meanings set forth in Rule 158;

(14) to take such action as the Remarketing Agents may reasonably request in order to qualify the Remarketed Senior Notes for offer and sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as the Remarketing Agents may reasonably request; provided that in no event shall the Company be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction; and

(15) to pay any required Commission filing fees relating to the Remarketed Senior Notes within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1) under the Securities Act without regard to the proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r) under the Securities Act.

(b) To pay: (1) the costs incident to the preparation and printing of the Registration Statement, if any, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any Prospectus, the Final Term Sheet and any other Free Writing Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto; (2) the costs of distributing the Registration Statement, if any, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any Prospectus, the Final Term Sheet and any other Free Writing Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto; (3) any fees and expenses of qualifying the Remarketed Senior Notes under the securities laws of the several jurisdictions as provided in Section 5(a)(14) and of preparing, printing and distributing a Blue Sky Memorandum, if any (including any related reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Remarketing Agents); (4) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company hereunder and the Remarketing Agents hereunder; and (5) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Remarketing Agents in connection with their duties hereunder.

(c) To furnish the Remarketing Agents with such information and documents as the Remarketing Agents may reasonably request in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and to make reasonably available to the Remarketing Agents and any accountant, attorney or other advisor retained by the Remarketing Agents such information that parties would customarily require in connection with a due diligence investigation conducted in accordance with applicable securities laws and to cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees and accountants to participate in all such discussions and to supply all such information reasonably requested by any such Person in connection with such investigation.

Section 6. Covenants of the Remarketing Agents.

Each of the Remarketing Agents, severally and not jointly, covenants with the Company not to take any action that would result in the Company being required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) a Free Writing Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Remarketing Agent that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Company thereunder but for the action of such Remarketing Agent (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Final Term Sheet). Each of the Remarketing Agents, severally and not jointly, acknowledges and

agrees that, except as may be set forth in Schedule III hereto, the Company has not authorized or approved any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433(h)) for use in any Free Writing Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of the Remarketing Agents.

Section 7. Conditions to the Remarketing Agents’ Obligations.

The several obligations of the Remarketing Agents hereunder shall be subject to the following conditions:

(a) The Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Final Term Sheet and any Free Writing Prospectus shall have been timely filed with the Commission; no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, if any, or any part thereof shall have been issued and no proceeding for that purpose shall have been initiated or threatened by the Commission; and any request of the Commission for inclusion of additional information in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus or otherwise shall have been complied with.

(c) The representations and warranties of the Company contained herein shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Remarketing Settlement Date, and the Company, the Purchase Contract Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have performed in all material respects all covenants and agreements contained herein or in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement to be performed on their part at or prior to the Remarketing Settlement Date.

(f) On the Remarketing Settlement Date, the Remarketing Agents shall have received (1) an opinion and letter of Weil, Gotshal & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, outside U.S. counsel for the Company, dated the Remarketing Settlement Date, as set forth in Exhibits A-1 and A-2 to this Agreement, (2) an opinion of LeBoeuf, Lamb, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇, L.L.P., special U.S. regulatory counsel for the Company, dated the Remarketing Settlement Date, as set forth in Exhibit B to this Agreement and (3) an opinion of ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇, Esq., the Company’s General Counsel, dated the Remarketing Settlement Date, as set forth in Exhibit C to this Agreement. The opinions of Weil, Gotshal & ▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, LeBoeuf, Lamb, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇, L.L.P. and ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇, Esq., described in this Section 7(f) shall be rendered to the Remarketing Agents at the request of the Company and shall so state therein.

Best Company, Inc., Standard & Poor’s Rating Group, ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investor Service, Inc., Fitch Ratings, Ltd. or any other “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 436(g)(2) under the Securities Act that currently has publicly released a rating of the claims-paying ability or financial strength of the Company or any subsidiary.

Section 8. Indemnification.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Remarketing Agent, each person, if any, who controls any Remarketing Agent within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and each affiliate of any Remarketing Agent within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Securities Act, any Electronic Road Show or the Prospectus (if used within the period, if any, that delivery of such Registration Statement, Preliminary

Prospectus, Time of Sale Prospectus, Free Writing Prospectus or Prospectus is required pursuant to the Securities Act and as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by 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 losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to the Remarketing Agents furnished to the Company in writing by the Remarketing Agents expressly for use therein.

(b) Each Remarketing Agent agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the directors of the Company, the officers of the Company who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Securities Act or the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by 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, but only with reference to information relating to the Remarketing Agents furnished to the Company in writing by the Remarketing Agents expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) of the Securities Act or the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto.

(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or Section 8(b), such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for (i) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to

any local counsel) for the Remarketing Agents and all persons, if any who control the Remarketing Agents within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act or who are affiliates of any Remarketing Agent within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act and (ii) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either such Section, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the case of any such separate firm for the Remarketing Agents and such control persons and affiliates of the Remarketing Agents, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Remarketing Agents. In the case of any such separate firm for the Company and such directors, officers and control persons of the Company, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Company. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

Section 9. Contribution.

(a) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or Section 8(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to under such paragraph, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) if the indemnifying party is the Company, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties, on the one hand, and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand from the Remarketing of the Remarketed Senior Notes, (ii) if the Remarketing Agents are the indemnifying parties, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the Remarketing Agents’ relative fault on one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities or (iii) if the allocation provided by Section 9(a)(i) or Section 9(a)(ii) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in Section 9(a)(i) above or the relative fault referred to in Section 9(a)(ii) above but also the relative fault (in cases covered by Section 9(a)(ii)) or the relative benefits (in cases covered by Section 9(a)(i)) of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on one hand, and the Remarketing Agents, on the other hand, in connection with the Remarketing shall be deemed to be in the same proportions as the aggregate principal amount of the Remarketed Senior Notes less the Remarketing Fee on the one hand and the Remarketing Fee on the other

hand bear to the aggregate principal amount of the Remarketed Senior Notes. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Remarketing Agents on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue 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 any of the Remarketing Agents and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Remarketing Agents’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several in proportion to the respective aggregate principal amount of Remarketed Senior Notes they have remarketed hereunder, and not joint.

(b) The Company and the Remarketing Agents agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Remarketing Agents were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 9(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 9, no Remarketing Agent shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the Remarketing Fee exceeds the amount of any damages which such 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. The remedies provided for in Section 8 and Section 9 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.

(c) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in Section 8 and Section 9 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Remarketing Agent, any person controlling the Remarketing Agent or any affiliate of any Remarketing Agent or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Remarketed Senior Notes.

Section 10. Resignation and Removal of the Remarketing Agents.

Either of the Remarketing Agents may resign and be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder, and the Company may remove either, or both, of the Remarketing Agents, 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 removed 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 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 pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 11. Dealing in Securities.

The Remarketing Agents, when acting as a Remarketing Agent or in their 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 Agents 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 Agents, in their 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; No Fiduciary Relationship.

(a) The duties and obligations of the Remarketing Agents shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. No implied covenants or obligations of or against any 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 Agents, a Remarketing Agent may conclusively rely upon any document furnished to it, as to the truth of the statements expressed in any of such documents. Each 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. Any Remarketing Agent shall have no obligation to determine whether there is any limitation under applicable law on the Reset Rate on the Senior Notes or, if there is any such limitation, the maximum permissible Reset Rate on the Senior 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 Initial Remarketing Date) as to whether or not there is any such limitation and, if so, the maximum permissible Reset Rate. Any 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 a 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 bad faith, 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.

(b) The Company acknowledges that in connection with the Remarketing: (a) the Remarketing Agents have acted at arms length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company or any other person, (b) the Remarketing Agents owe the Company only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, and (c) the Remarketing Agents may have interests that differ from those of the Company. The Company waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Remarketing Agents arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the Remarketing.

Section 13. Termination.

This Agreement shall automatically terminate (i) as to each Remarketing Agent on the effective date of the resignation or removal of such Remarketing Agent pursuant to Section 10 and (ii) on the earlier of (x) any Special Event Redemption Date, (y) the occurrence of a Termination Event and (z) 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 each Remarketing Agent and such Remarketing Agent shall not be under any liability to the Company, except that if this Agreement is terminated by the Remarketing Agents 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 Agents for all of their 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 8, 9 and 12 hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of any of the Remarketing Agent.

Section 14. Notices.

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 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 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.

FORM OF U.S. COMPANY COUNSEL LETTER

The primary purpose of our professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters or financial or quantitative information, and many determinations involved in the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and Prospectus are of a non-legal character. In addition, we have not undertaken any obligation to verify independently any of the factual matters set forth in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and Prospectus or in the documents incorporated by reference therein (the “Incorporated Documents”). Consequently, in this letter we are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and Prospectus. Also, we do not make any statement herein with respect to any of the financial statements and related notes thereto, the financial statement schedules or the financial, statistical or accounting data contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and Prospectus.

We have reviewed the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and Prospectus (including the Incorporated Documents) and we have participated in conferences with representatives of the Company, its independent public accountants, its special insurance regulatory counsel, its local counsel, you and your counsel, at which conferences the contents of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and Prospectus, the Incorporated Documents and related matters were discussed.

Subject to the foregoing, we confirm to you that, on the basis of the information we gained in the course of performing the services referred to above, no facts have come to our attention which cause us to believe that (i) the Registration Statement, as of the effective date, or the Prospectus, as of its date, do not comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Rules and Regulations thereunder, (ii) the Registration Statement (including the Incorporated Documents), as of the effective date thereof, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading, (iii) the Time of Sale Prospectus (including any Incorporated Documents), as of the time of sale of the Remarketed Senior Notes, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (iv) the Prospectus (including any Incorporated Documents), as of its date or as of the date hereof, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact required to be stated

therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

2. The Company is not, and after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Remarketed Senior Notes and the application of the net proceeds from such sale as described in the Prospectus under the caption “Use of Proceeds” will not be, required to register as an “investment company,” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.
