(the "Company") entered into a Remarketing Agreement (the "Agreement") with Goldman, Sachs & Co., as remarketing agent (the "Remarketing Agent"), and SunTrust Bank, as purchase contract agent and attorney-in-fact of the holders of purchase contracts, relating to the Company's 6.60% notes due February 16, 2008 (the "Notes"), originally issued as part of equity units issued by the Company in December 2002. The Agreement was entered into in connection with the remarketing of, and the reset of the interest rate on, the Notes by the Remarketing Agent as required under the terms of the equity units. The Agreement provides, among other things, that the Remarketing Agent agrees to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to remarket the Notes tendered or deemed tendered to the Remarketing Agent at a price equal to approximately 100.25% of the purchase price of a specified portfolio of U.S. Treasury securities to be substituted for the Notes as a component of the equity units (the "Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price"). For this service, and for other services rendered in connection with the remarketing, the Remarketing Agent is entitled to a remarketing fee which will be equal to the lesser of 0.25% of the Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price and the amount of the proceeds of the remarketing in excess of the Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the remarketing of the Notes. The Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company. It also provides that the Company will indemnify the Remarketing Agent against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, arising out of or in connection with the Remarketing Agent's duties under the Agreement, and contribute to payments the Remarketing Agent may be required to make in respect of those liabilities. The Remarketing Agent and its affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory and investment banking services for the Company or its subsidiaries, for which they received or will receive, customary fees and expenses. The foregoing description of the material terms of the Agreement is qualified by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
