Citigroup Global Markets Inc.
388 Greenwich Street
New York, New York 10013

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This Remarketing Agreement is dated as of October 28, 2010 (the “Remarketing Agreement”) among Citigroup Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citi”) (the “Remarketing Agent,” which expression shall include any institution(s) appointed as a Remarketing Agent in accordance with Section 9 hereof), and The Bank of New York Mellon, not individually but solely as Stock Purchase Contract Agent (as defined below) and as attorney-in-fact of the holders of Stock Purchase Contracts (as defined below). The Remarketing Agents are undertaking to remarket 6.700% Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures due March 15, 2042 (principal amount $25 per Debenture) which terms will be modified as described in the notice from The Bank of New York Mellon, as Institutional Trustee (as defined below), dated October 28, 2010 (the “Notice”) pursuant to Section 5(c)(i) of Annex I to the Declaration (as defined below) (such debentures, as modified from time to time or any successor or replacement debentures (whether or not such debentures were remarketed by the Remarketing Agent), the “Securities”), issued by the Company, pursuant to an Indenture dated as of July 23, 2004 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, formerly known as The Bank of New York, as successor trustee to JPMorgan Chase Bank (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of December 3, 2007 (the “Third Supplemental Indenture,” and, together with the Base Indenture and, following execution thereof, the New Supplemental Indentures (as defined below), the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. The Securities were initially issued by the Company to Citigroup Capital XXXI, a statutory business trust formed under Delaware law (the “Trust”), together with a guarantee, subject to certain restrictions (the “Guarantee”), of the 6.700% Capital Securities of Citigroup Capital XXXI (stated liquidation amount $1,000 per Capital Security) (the “Capital Securities”) issued by the Trust pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust dated as of December 3, 2007, among the Company, as the Sponsor, The Bank of New York Mellon, formerly known as The Bank of New York, as institutional trustee (the “Institutional Trustee”), BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware, formerly known as The Bank of New York (Delaware), as Delaware trustee (the “Delaware Trustee”), the regular trustees named therein and the holders from time to time of the beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust (the “Declaration”).

A 1/40^thor 2.5% undivided beneficial ownership interest in each Capital Security is part of a Citigroup Upper DECS Equity Unit (the “DECS”), which initially also included (i) a stock purchase contract (a “Stock Purchase Contract”), which was issued pursuant to the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement, dated as of December 3, 2007 (the “Stock Purchase Contract Agreement”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, formerly known as The Bank of New York, as stock purchase contract agent (the “Stock Purchase Contract Agent”) and under which the holder is obligated to purchase from the Company on the relevant Stock Purchase Date (as defined in the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement) a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), equal to the Settlement Rate as set forth in the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement and (ii) a 1/40^th or 2.5% undivided beneficial ownership interest in a 6.700% Capital Security of Citigroup Capital XXXI.

In accordance with the Declaration, on October 21, 2010, the Company, as holder of all of the common securities of the Trust, directed the Institutional Trustee to dissolve the Trust, effective November 22, 2010, and to cancel all of the Capital Securities. In accordance with the terms of the Declaration, the Securities will be distributed to holders of the Capital Securities and Common Securities (as defined in the Declaration). Upon distribution to holders of the Capital Securities, the Securities constituting a part of the DECS will be pledged by the Stock Purchase Contract Agent, on behalf of the holders of the DECS, to Wilmington Trust Company, as collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”), pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, dated as of December 3, 2007 (the “Pledge Agreement”), among the Company, the Stock Purchase Contract Agent and Wilmington Trust Company, as Collateral Agent, custodial agent (the “Custodial Agent”) and as securities intermediary, to secure the holders’ obligation to purchase Common Stock on the relevant Stock Purchase Date under the Stock Purchase Contracts.

Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Remarketing Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the Declaration, the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and/or the Indenture, as the case may be. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the Indenture to the Capital Securities shall be deemed to refer to the Securities.

The Remarketing (as defined below) of the Securities is provided for in Section 5 of Annex I to the Declaration. The Company intends to promptly enter into one or more new supplemental indentures (the “New Supplemental Indentures”) with the Trustee, making provision for the remarketing and reset mechanics of the Securities, among other provisions, on the basis set forth in Section 5 of Annex I to the Declaration upon dissolution of the Trust.

As used in this Remarketing Agreement, the term “Remarketed Securities” means the Securities subject to the Remarketing as notified to the Remarketing Agent by the Collateral Agent and the Custodial Agent, on or prior to the first Business Day prior to the Initial Remarketing (as defined below); the term “Remarketing Procedures” means the procedures in connection with the Remarketing, described in the Stock Purchase Contract Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Declaration and, upon entry into the New Supplemental Indentures, the New Supplemental Indentures, as the case may be; the term “Remarketing” means the remarketing of the Remarketed Securities pursuant to the Remarketing Procedures; the term “Initial Remarketing” means the initial remarketing period which will begin on November 29,

2010 and end on December 10, 2010; and the term “Remarketing Settlement Date” means December 15, 2010. The “Remarketing Date” means any date during the Initial Remarketing on which the Remarketing Agent(s), the Company and the Stock Purchase Contract Agent shall enter into a pricing agreement relating to the Remarketed Securities (the “Pricing Agreement”). The firm or firms designated as the representative or representatives, as the case may be, of the Remarketing Agents of the Remarketed Securities in the Pricing Agreement will act as the representative or representatives (the “Representatives”). To the extent there is only one Remarketing Agent for the remarketing of the Remarketed Securities, the terms Representatives and Remarketing Agents shall mean the Remarketing Agent.

1. Appointment and Obligations of the Remarketing Agent.

(a) The Company hereby appoints Citi as the initial Remarketing Agent, and Citi hereby accepts appointment as Remarketing Agent, for the purpose of (i) remarketing the Remarketed Securities on behalf of the holders thereof, (ii) establishing the Reset Rate (as defined below) for the Securities in connection with the Remarketing, and (iii) performing such other duties as are assigned to the Remarketing Agents in the Remarketing Procedures, all in accordance with and pursuant to the Remarketing Procedures.

(b) The Remarketing Agents agree (i) to use commercially reasonable efforts to remarket the Remarketed Securities tendered or deemed tendered to the Remarketing Agents in the Remarketing, (ii) to establish the Reset Rate in accordance with the Remarketing Procedures and to notify the Sponsor, the Institutional Trustee, the Trustee and the Stock Purchase Contract Agent promptly of the Reset Rate, and (ii) to carry out such other duties as are assigned to the Remarketing Agents in the Remarketing Procedures, all in accordance with the provisions of the Remarketing Procedures.

(c) During the Initial Remarketing, the Remarketing Agents shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to remarket, at a price which results in proceeds, net of the Remarketing Agent’s Fee as described in Section 1(j), equal to at least 100% of the Remarketing Value (the “Remarketing Price”), the Remarketed Securities tendered or deemed tendered for purchase.

(d) If, as a result of the efforts described in Section l(b), the Remarketing Agents determine that they will be able to remarket all Remarketed Securities tendered or deemed tendered for purchase at the Remarketing Price by 4:00 P.M., New York City time, on any Remarketing Date (a “Successful Remarketing”), the Remarketing Agents shall in their sole discretion determine the rate per annum, rounded to the nearest one-thousandth (0.001) of one percent, which will apply to all Securities (whether or not the holders thereof participate in the Remarketing) (the “Reset Rate”) that will enable it to remarket all Remarketed Securities tendered or deemed tendered for Remarketing; provided, however, that the Reset Rate may not exceed the Reset Cap and may not be less than 0% per annum.

(e) If, by 4:00 P.M., New York City time, on the last date in the Initial Remarketing, the Remarketing Agents are unable to remarket all Remarketed Securities tendered or deemed tendered for purchase, the remarketing shall be not Successful.

(f) By approximately 4:30 P.M., New York City time, on the applicable Remarketing Date, the Remarketing Agents shall notify the Sponsor, the Institutional Trustee (if applicable), the Trustee and the Stock Purchase Contract Agent that the Remarketing was a Successful Remarketing and of the Reset Rate determined in the Remarketing.

(g) In accordance with the Depositary’s normal procedures, on the Remarketing Settlement Date, the transactions described above with respect to each Security tendered or deemed tendered for purchase and sold in the Remarketing shall be executed through the Depositary, and the accounts of the respective Depositary participants shall be debited and credited and such Securities delivered by book-entry as necessary to effect purchases and sales of such Securities.

(h) On the Remarketing Settlement Date, the tender and settlement procedures set forth in this Section 1, including provisions for payment by purchasers of the Remarketed Securities in the Remarketing, shall be subject to modification to the extent required by the Depositary or, if the book-entry system is no longer available for the Remarketed Securities at the time of the Remarketing, to facilitate the tendering and remarketing of the Remarketed Securities in certificated form. In addition, the Remarketing Agents may modify the settlement procedures set forth herein in order to facilitate the settlement process.

(i) On the Remarketing Settlement Date, the Remarketing Agents shall retain as a remarketing fee an amount to be as agreed among the Sponsor, the Trust (if applicable) and the Remarketing Agents and specified in the Pricing Agreement (the “Remarketing Agent’s Fee”) and shall remit any proceeds remaining after such deduction as provided for in the Remarketing Procedures. Holders whose Securities are remarketed pursuant to this Remarketing Agreement will not otherwise be responsible for the payment of any remarketing fee in connection therewith.

(j) On any day during the Initial Remarketing other than the last day of the Initial Remarketing, the Sponsor may, in its absolute discretion (and without prior notice being given to holders of Securities or the DECS), postpone the Remarketing until the following Business Day by giving notice of such postponement to the Remarketing Agents in accordance with this Remarketing Agreement.

(k) If fewer than all of the Remarketed Securities are remarketed in accordance with the terms hereof, the Remarketing shall be deemed to have failed as to all Remarketed Securities.

(l) The Remarketing Agents hereby agree in connection with the remarketing of the Remarketed Securities to comply with the requirements set forth in any applicable

sections of Rule 2720 of the NASD Conduct Rules adopted by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

(m) If at any time during the term of this Remarketing Agreement, any Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) or event that with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would become such an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture, then the obligations and duties of the Remarketing Agents under this Remarketing Agreement shall be suspended until such default or event has been cured. The Company will promptly cause the Trustee, the Stock Purchase Contract Agent and the Collateral Agent to give the Remarketing Agents notice of all such defaults and events.

The relevant provisions of Article IV of the Indenture relating to defeasance shall apply to the Remarketed Securities.

4. Agreements. The Company agrees with the several Remarketing Agents that:

(a) Prior to the termination of the Remarketing of the Remarketed Securities, the Company will not file any amendment of the Registration Statement or prospectus (including the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus) unless the Company has furnished the Representatives a copy for their review prior to filing and will not file any such proposed amendment or prospectus to which they reasonably object. The Company will cause the Final Prospectus, properly completed, and any supplement thereto, to be filed in a form approved by the Representatives with the Commission pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the time period prescribed and will provide evidence satisfactory to the Representatives of such timely filing. The Company will promptly advise the Representatives (1) when the Final Prospectus, and any supplement thereto, shall have been filed (if required) with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), (2) when, prior to termination of the Remarketing of the Remarketed Securities, any amendment to the Registration Statement shall have been filed or become effective, (3) of any request by the Commission or its staff for any amendment of the Registration Statement, or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, or for any supplement to the Final Prospectus or for any additional information, (4) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any notice objecting to its use or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (5) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Remarketed Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or the occurrence of any such suspension or objection to the use of the Registration Statement and, upon such issuance, occurrence or notice of objection, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal of such stop order or relief from such occurrence or objection, including, if necessary, by filing an amendment to the Registration Statement or a new registration statement and using its best efforts to have such amendment or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable.

(b) The Company will prepare a final term sheet, containing solely a description of final terms of the Remarketed Securities and the remarketing thereof (the “Final Term Sheet”), in a form approved by Citi and to file such term sheet pursuant to Rule 433(d) within the time required by such Rule.

(c) If, at any time prior to the filing of the Final Prospectus, any event occurs as a result of which the Disclosure Package would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made at such time not misleading, the Company will (1) promptly notify the Representatives so that any use of the Disclosure Package may cease until it is amended or supplemented; (2) amend or supplement the Disclosure Package to correct such statement or omission; and (3) supply any amendment or supplement to the Remarketing Agents in such quantities as the Remarketing Agents may reasonably request.

(d) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Remarketed Securities is required to be delivered under the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), any event occurs as a result of which the Final Prospectus as then supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend the Registration Statement, file a new registration statement or supplement the Final Prospectus to comply with the Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder, including in connection with use or delivery of the Final Prospectus, the Company will (i) promptly notify the Representatives of such event, (ii) prepare and file with the Commission, subject to the second sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 4, an amendment or supplement or new registration statement which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance, (iii) use its best efforts to have any amendment to the Registration Statement or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable and (iv) supply any supplemented Final Prospectus to the Representatives in such quantities as the Representatives may reasonably request.

(e) As soon as practicable, but in any event not later than 16 months after the Remarketing Settlement Date, the Company will make generally available to its security holders and the Representatives an earnings statement of the Company covering a period of at least 12 months beginning after the Remarketing Settlement Date and otherwise satisfying Section 11(a) of the Act.

(f) Upon request, the Company will furnish to the Representatives and counsel for the Remarketing Agents, without charge, so long as delivery of a prospectus by a Remarketing Agent or dealer may be required by the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), as many copies of the Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any supplement thereto as the Representatives may reasonably request. The Company will pay the expenses of printing or other production of all documents relating to the remarketing that are required to be prepared, furnished or delivered by it.

(g) The Company will arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of the Remarketed Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives reasonably may designate, will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Remarketed Securities and will pay any fee of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., in connection with its review of the remarketing; provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the remarketing of the Remarketed Securities, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.

(h) Upon the request of the Representatives if they deem it necessary or advisable in connection with the remarketing, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to have the Remarketed Securities approved for listing on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and to maintain such listing so long as any of the Remarketed Securities are outstanding, provided, however, that: if it is impracticable or unduly burdensome, in the good faith determination of the Company, to maintain such listing due to changes in listing requirements occurring after the date of the Prospectus, or if the Transparency Directive (as defined in the Prospectus) is implemented in Luxembourg in a manner that would require the Company to publish financial information according to accounting principles or standards that are materially different from United States generally accepted accounting principles, the Company may de-list the Remarketed Securities from the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain an alternative admission to listing, trading and/or quotation of the Remarketed Securities by another listing authority, exchange or system within or outside the European Union as it may decide. If such an alternative admission is not available or is, in the Company’s opinion, unduly burdensome, such an alternative admission will not be obtained, and the Company shall have no further obligation in respect of any listing, trading or quotation for the Remarketed Securities.

(i) (i) The Company agrees that, unless it has obtained or will obtain, as the case may be, the prior written consent of the Representatives, and (ii) each Remarketing Agent, severally and not jointly, agrees with the Company that, unless it has obtained or will obtain, as the case may be, the prior written consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Remarketed Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405) required to be filed by the Company with the Commission or retained by the Company under Rule 433, other than the Final Term Sheet; provided that the prior written consent of the parties hereto shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the Free Writing Prospectuses, if any, included as a schedule to the Pricing Agreement. Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Representatives or the Company is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company agrees that (x) it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and (y) it has complied and will comply, as the case may be, with the requirements of Rules 164 and 433 applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping.

(j) The Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise) by the Company or any affiliate of the Company, except any broker-dealer affiliate, or any person in privity with the Company or any affiliate of the Company, except any broker-dealer affiliate) directly or indirectly, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a registration statement with the Commission in respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, any securities, including any guarantee of such securities (other than a guarantee of securities issued by Citigroup Funding Inc.), of the Company, in each case that are substantially similar to the Remarketed Securities or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Remarketed Securities or such substantially similar securities, or publicly announce an intention to effect any such transaction, during the period beginning the start of the Initial Remarketing and ending the Remarketing Settlement Date.

(k) The Company will comply with all applicable securities and other laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, and use its best efforts to cause the Company’s directors and officers, in their capacities as such, to comply with such laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the provisions of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002.

(l) The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Remarketed Securities, except that the Company makes no agreement as to the activities of any Remarketing Agent.

5. Conditions to the Obligations of the Remarketing Agents. The obligations of the Remarketing Agents to purchase the Remarketed Securities shall be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company contained herein as of the date hereof, the Execution Time, the Remarketing Date and the Remarketing Settlement Date (in each case, to the extent such representations and warranties are applicable as of such date), to the accuracy of the statements of the Company made in any certificates pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions:

(i) Subsequent to the Execution Time or, if earlier, the dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof) and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto), there shall not have been

(i) any change or decrease specified in the letter referred to in paragraph (h) of this Section 5 or (ii) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the condition (financial or otherwise), earnings, business or properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto) the effect of which, in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, is, in the sole judgment of the Representatives after consultation with the Company, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the remarketing or delivery of the Remarketed Securities as contemplated by the Registration Statement (exclusive of any amendment thereof), the Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any supplement thereto) and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus.

(j) Subsequent to the Execution Time, there shall not have been any decrease in the rating of any of the Company’s senior securities by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Act) or any notice given of any intended or potential decrease in any such rating or of a possible change in any such rating that does not indicate the direction of the possible change.

(k) Prior to the Remarketing Settlement Date, the Company shall have furnished to the Representatives such further information, certificates and documents as the Representatives may reasonably request.

If any of the conditions specified in this Section 5 shall not have been fulfilled when and as provided in this Remarketing Agreement with respect to the remarketing of Remarketed Securities, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Remarketing Agreement shall not be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Representatives and counsel for the Remarketing Agents, this Remarketing Agreement and all obligations of the Remarketing Agents hereunder may be canceled with respect to such remarketing at, or at any time prior to, the Remarketing Settlement Date by the Representatives. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing.

The documents required to be delivered by this Section 5 shall be delivered at the office of Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, counsel for the Remarketing Agents, at One Liberty Plaza, New York, New York 10006, on the Remarketing Settlement Date.

6. Reimbursement of Remarketing Agents’ Expenses. If the sale of the Remarketed Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Remarketing Agents set forth in Section 5 hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination pursuant to Section 12 hereof or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any of its agreements herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Remarketing Agents, the Company will reimburse the Remarketing Agents severally through the Representatives on demand for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed remarketing of the Remarketed Securities.

7. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Remarketing Agent, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each Remarketing Agent and each person who controls any Remarketing Agent within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the information contained in the Final Term Sheet, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Remarketing Agent through the Representatives specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

(b) Each Remarketing Agent severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Remarketing Agent, but only with reference to written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Remarketing Agent through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that any Remarketing Agent may otherwise have. The Company acknowledges that the statements set forth (i) in the second-to-last paragraph of the cover page regarding delivery of the Remarketed Securities and, under the heading “Plan of Distribution” and (ii) the paragraph related to over-allotment, stabilization and syndicate covering transactions in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Remarketing Agents for inclusion in the Preliminary Prospectus or the Final Prospectus.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a)

or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 7 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Remarketing Agents severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company and one or more of the Remarketing Agents may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Remarketing Agents on the other from the remarketing of the Remarketed Securities; provided, however, that in no case shall (i) any Remarketing Agent (except as may be provided in any agreement among Remarketing Agents relating to the remarketing of the Remarketed Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the Remarketing Agent’s Fee applicable to the Remarketed Securities purchased by such Remarketing Agent hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Remarketing Agents severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to

reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Remarketing Agents on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the remarketing (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and benefits received by the Remarketing Agents shall be deemed to be equal to the Remarketing Agent’s Fee, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Final Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or the Remarketing Agents on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Remarketing Agents agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 7, each person who controls a Remarketing Agent within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of a Remarketing Agent shall have the same rights to contribution as such Remarketing Agent, and each person who controls the Company, as applicable, within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

8. Resignation and Removal of the Remarketing Agents. The Remarketing Agents may resign and be discharged from their duties and obligations hereunder, and the Company may remove a Remarketing Agent, by giving five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Stock Purchase Contract Agent and, in the case of a removal, to the Representatives; provided that no such resignation nor any such removal shall become effective unless at least one Remarketing Agent remains, or is appointed pursuant to Section 9 as, a party to this Remarketing Agreement. The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Remarketing Agents pursuant to this Remarketing Agreement.

9. New Remarketing Agents. The Company may appoint any institution or institutions as new Remarketing Agent(s) hereunder (each a “New Remarketing Agent”) in respect of the Remarketing in which event, upon the confirmation by such institution through a letter to the Company and the Stock Purchase Contract Agent confirming acceptance of such nomination by the New Remarketing Agent substantially in the form of Annex I hereof, such New Remarketing Agent shall become a party hereto, unless otherwise provided for herein, with all the authority, rights, powers, duties and obligations as if originally named as Remarketing Agent hereunder. The Company will notify the Remarketing Agent(s) appointed in respect of the remarketing of the Remarketed Securities and the Stock Purchase Contract Agent of a change in the identity of other Remarketing Agents appointed or who have resigned

in respect of the remarketing of the Remarketed Securities generally as soon as reasonably practicable.

10. Dealing in the Remarketed Securities. The Remarketing Agents, when acting hereunder, or when acting in its individual or any other capacity, may, to the extent permitted by law, buy, sell, hold or deal in any of the Remarketed Securities. The Remarketing Agents may exercise any vote or join in any action which any beneficial owner of Remarketed 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 capacities, 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.

11. Selling Restrictions. Each Remarketing Agent agrees and each additional Remarketing Agent appointed pursuant to Section 1 of this Remarketing Agreement will be required to agree that it will comply with the additional selling restrictions as set forth in Annex II hereof.

12. Termination of Remarketing Agreement. This Remarketing Agreement shall terminate (i) the Business Day immediately following the Remarketing Settlement Date, (ii) at 5:00 P.M. New York City time, on the last date of the Initial Remarketing if the remarketing is not Successful or (ii) on the effective date of the resignation or removal of all of the Remarketing Agents pursuant to Section 8 without any appointment of new Remarketing Agents pursuant to Section 9. In addition, the obligations of the Remarketing Agent may be terminated by it by notice given to the Company prior to the start of the Initial Remarketing if, prior to that time, any of the conditions precedent to the obligations of the Remarketing Agents described in Section 5 hereof as to be satisfied by the date of such notice shall have failed to occur.

13. Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the Remarketing Agents set forth in or made pursuant to this Remarketing Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Remarketing Agent or the Company or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 7 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Remarketed Securities. The provisions of Sections 6 and 7 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Remarketing Agreement.
