Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not defined
in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Purchase
Contract Agreement or, if not therein stated, the Declaration or the Pledge
Agreement.
Section 2. Appointment and Obligations of Remarketing Agent.
The Company hereby appoints ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ hereby accepts such
appointment, (i) as the Reset Agent to determine in consultation with the
Company, in the manner provided for in the Declaration with respect to the Trust
Securities and the Indenture with respect to the Debentures, the Reset Rate,
that in the opinion of the Reset Agent, will, when applied to the Trust

Debenture), to have an approximate market value of approximately 100.5% of the
aggregate stated liquidation amount in the case of such Trust Security and the
aggregate principal amount in the case of such Debenture, and (ii) as the
exclusive Remarketing Agent to remarket the Trust Preferred Securities, or the
Debentures, as the case may be, provided that the Company may limit such Reset
Rate to be no higher than the rate on the Two-Year Benchmark Treasury plus 200
basis points (2%), as the case may be, of such Trust Preferred Security or
Debenture holders electing to have their Trust Preferred Securities or
Debentures remarketed, or of such Income PRIDES holders who have not early
settled the related Purchase Contracts and have failed to notify the Purchase
Contract Agent, on or prior to the fifth Business Day immediately preceding the
Purchase Contract Settlement Date, of their intention to settle the related
Purchase Contracts through Cash Settlement, for settlement on the Purchase
Contract Settlement Date, pursuant to the Remarketing Underwriting Agreement
with the Company, the Trust and the Purchase Contract Agent, substantially in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (with such changes as the Company, the
Purchase Contract Agent and the Remarketing Agent may agree
2
3
upon, it being understood that changes may be necessary in the representations,
warranties, covenants and other provisions of the Remarketing Underwriting
Agreement due to changes in law or facts and circumstances). Pursuant to the
Remarketing Underwriting Agreement, the Remarketing Agent, either as the sole
remarketing underwriter or as the representative of a syndicate including the
Remarketing Agent and one or more other remarketing underwriters designated by
the Remarketing Agent, will agree, subject to the terms and conditions set forth
therein, that the Remarketing Agent and any such other remarketing underwriters
will purchase severally the Trust Preferred Securities or the Debentures, as the
case may be, to be sold by the holder or holders of Trust Preferred Securities
or Income PRIDES on the third Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase
Contract Settlement Date and use their reasonable efforts to remarket such Trust
Preferred Securities or the Debentures, as the case may be, (such purchase and
remarketing being hereinafter referred to as the "Remarketing"), at a price of
approximately 100.5% of such Trust Preferred Securities aggregate stated
liquidation amount plus any accrued and unpaid distributions (including any
deferred distributions) and in the case of Debentures, at a price of
approximately 100.5% of such Debentures aggregate principal amount plus any
accrued and unpaid interest (including any deferred interest). Notwithstanding
the preceding sentence, the Remarketing Agent shall not remarket any Trust
Preferred Securities or Debentures, as the case may be, for a price less than
100% of the aggregate stated liquidation amount or aggregate principal amount of
such Trust Preferred Securities or Debentures, respectively, plus accumulated
and unpaid distributions or accrued and unpaid interest, as the case may be. The
proceeds of such remarketing shall be paid to the Collateral Agent in accordance
with Section 4.6 of the Pledge Agreement and Section 5.4 of the Purchase
Contract Agreement (each of which Sections are incorporated herein by
reference).
Section 3. Fees. With respect to the Remarketing, the
Remarketing Agent shall retain as Remarketing Fee an amount not exceeding 25
basis points (.25%), of the aggregate stated liquidation amount of the

Remarketing in excess of the aggregate stated liquidation amount or aggregate
principal amount of such remarketed Trust Preferred Securities or Debentures
plus any accrued and unpaid (including deferred) distributions or any accrued
and unpaid interest (including any deferred interest), as the case may be. In
addition, the Reset Agent shall receive from the Company a reasonable and
customary fee as the Reset Agent Fee (the "Reset Agent Fee"); provided, however,
that if the Remarketing Agent shall also act as the Reset Agent, then the Reset
Agent shall not be entitled to receive any such Reset Agent Fee. Payment of such
Reset Agent Fee shall be made by the Company on the third Business Day
immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date in immediately
available funds or, upon the instructions of the Reset Agent by certified or
official bank check or checks or by wire transfer.
Section 4. Replacement and Resignation of Remarketing Agent.

Remarketing Agent and/or as the Reset Agent in its capacity hereunder by giving

immediately prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. Any such replacement
shall become effective upon the Company's appointment of a successor to perform
the services that would otherwise be performed hereunder by the Remarketing
Agent and/or the Reset Agent. Upon providing such notice, the Company shall use
all reasonable efforts to appoint such a successor and to enter into a
with such successor as soon as reasonably practicable.

as the case may be. With respect to any Trust Preferred Securities or
Debentures, as the case may be, owned by it, the Remarketing Agent may exercise
any vote or join in any action 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 6. Registration Statement and Prospectus. In
connection with the Remarketing, if and to the extent required (in the opinion
of counsel for either the Remarketing Agent or the Company) by applicable law,
regulations or interpretations in effect at the time of such Remarketing, the
Company shall use its reasonable efforts to have a registration statement
relating to the Trust Preferred Securities effective under the Securities Act of
1933 by the third Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract
Settlement Date, shall furnish a current prospectus and/or prospectus supplement
to be used in such Remarketing by the remarketing underwriter or underwriters
under the Remarketing Underwriting Agreement, and shall pay all expenses
relating thereto.
Section 7. Conditions to the Remarketing Agent's Obligations.
(a) The obligations of the Remarketing Agent and any other remarketing
underwriters to purchase and remarket the Trust Preferred Securities or the
Debentures, as the case may be, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of
the Remarketing Underwriting Agreement.
(b) If at any time during the term of this Agreement, any
Indenture Event of Default or Declaration Event of Default, or event that with
the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would become an Indenture
Event of Default or Declaration Event of Default, has occurred and is continuing
under the Indenture or the Declaration, then the obligations and duties of the
Remarketing Agent under this Agreement shall be suspended until such default or
event has been cured. The Company will cause the Indenture Trustee and the
Institutional Trustee to give the Remarketing Agent notice of all such defaults
and events of which the Trustee is aware.
Section 8. Termination of . This
Agreement shall terminate as to the Remarketing Agent on the effective date of
its replacement pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof or pursuant to Section 4(b)
hereof. Notwithstanding any such termination, the obligations set forth in
Section 3 hereof shall survive and remain in full force and effect until all
amounts payable under said Section 3 shall have been paid in full.

that such section headings are not a part of this Agreement and will not be used
in the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.
Section 14. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement
shall be held or deemed to be or shall, in fact, be invalid, inoperative or

effect of rendering the provision in question invalid, inoperative or
unenforceable in any other case, circumstances or jurisdiction, or of rendering
