Capital Markets, LLC (formerly known as Wachovia Securities, Inc.) ("Wachovia")
desire to amend the Selling Agency Agreement, dated November 12, 2002, by and
between the Company and Wachovia (the "Selling Agency Agreement") so as to
eliminate the reporting requirements with respect to the filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission of a Current Report on Form 8-K;
NOW THEREFORE, the Company and Wachovia hereby amend the Selling Agency
Agreement as follows:
Section 4(i) of the Selling Agency Agreement is hereby amended to read:
"Each time the Company files with the Commission an Annual Report on
Form 10-K or a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or a material amendment or
supplement thereto, each time that the Company requests you to solicit
offers to purchase the Notes and each time that a Terms Agreement is
executed and delivered, the Company will deliver or cause to be delivered
promptly to you a certificate of the Company, in form reasonably
satisfactory to you, signed by the Chief Executive Officer or the President
or the principal financial or accounting officer of the Company, dated the
date of delivery of such certificate, of the same tenor as the certificate
referred to in Section 5(d) but modified to relate to the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus as amended or supplemented at the time of
delivery of such certificate."
Section 4(j) of the Selling Agency Agreement is hereby amended to read:
"Each time the Company files with the Commission an Annual Report on
Form 10-K or a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or a material amendment or
supplement thereto, each time that the Company requests you to solicit
offers to purchase the Notes and each time that a Terms Agreement is
executed and delivered, the Company will furnish or cause to be furnished
promptly to you a written opinion of counsel for the Company, in form
reasonably satisfactory to you, dated the date of delivery of such opinion,
of the same tenor as the opinion referred to in Section 5(b) but modified
to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended or
supplemented at the time of delivery of such opinion or, in lieu of such
opinion, counsel last furnishing such an opinion to you may furnish you
with a letter to the effect that you may rely on such last opinion to the
same extent as though it were dated the date of such letter authorizing
reliance (except that statements in such last opinion will be deemed to
relate to the
2
Registration Statement and the Prospectus as amended and supplemented to
the time of the effectiveness of such amendment or the filing of such
supplement)."
Section 4(k) of the Selling Agency Agreement is hereby amended to read:
"Each time that the Company files with the Commission an Annual Report
on Form 10-K or a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or a material amendment or
supplement thereto, each time that the Company requests you to solicit
offers to purchase the Notes and each time that a Terms Agreement is
executed and delivered, the Company shall cause its independent public
accountants promptly to furnish you a letter, dated five business days
after the date of the effectiveness of such amendment or the date of the
filing of such supplement, in form satisfactory to you, of the same tenor
as the letter referred to in Section 5(e) with such changes as may be
necessary to reflect the amended and supplemental financial information
included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus, as amended or supplemented to the date of such letter;
provided, however, that, if the Registration Statement or the Prospectus is
amended or supplemented solely to include or incorporate by reference
financial information as of and for a fiscal quarter, the Company's
independent public accountants may limit the scope of such letter, which
shall be satisfactory in form to you, to the unaudited financial
statements, the related "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" and any other information of an
accounting, financial or statistical nature included in such amendment or
supplement, unless, in your reasonable judgment, such letter should cover
other information or changes in specified financial statement line items."
Section 5(d) of the Selling Agency Agreement is hereby amended to read:
"The Company shall have furnished to the Agent a certificate of the
Company, signed by the Chief Executive Officer or the President or the
principal financial or accounting officer of the Company, dated the
Execution Time, to the effect that:
(i) the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement
are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date
hereof with the same effect as if made on the date hereof and the
Company has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the
conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied as a condition to
the obligation of the Agent to solicit offers to purchase the Notes;
(ii) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have
been instituted or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened; and
3
(iii) since the date of the most recent audited financial statements
included in or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, there has
been no material adverse change in the condition (financial or other),
earnings, business or properties of the Company and its subsidiaries
considered as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the
ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated by
the Prospectus."
