DEFINITIONS. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Agreement, in the recitals hereto or in the paragraph preceding such recitals shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Purchase Contract Agreement or, if not therein defined, the Pledge Agreement. SECTION 2. APPOINTMENT AND OBLIGATIONS OF RESET AGENT AND REMARKETING AGENT. (a) The Company hereby appoints JPMorgan and JPMorgan hereby accepts such appointment, (i) as the Reset Agent to determine in consultation with the Company, in the manner provided for herein and in the Indenture (as in effect on the date of this Remarketing Agreement) with respect to the Notes, (1) the Reset Rate that, in the opinion of the Reset Agent, will, when applied to the Notes, enable the Applicable Principal Amount of the Notes to have an approximate aggregate market value of 100.25% of the Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price as of the Initial Remarketing Date and (2) in the event of a Failed Initial Remarketing, the Reset Rate that, in the opinion of the Reset Agent, will, when applied to the Notes, enable a Note to have an approximate market value of 100.25% of its principal amount as of the third Business Day preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, provided, in each case, (x) that the Reset Spread shall not exceed the Reset Spread Cap and (y) that the Company, by notice to the Reset Agent prior to the tenth Business Day preceding May 17, 2004, in the case of the Initial Remarketing, or the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, in the case of the Secondary Remarketing, shall, if applicable, limit the Reset Rate so that it does not exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law and (ii) as the exclusive Remarketing Agent (subject to the right of JPMorgan to appoint additional remarketing agents hereunder as described below) to (1) remarket the Notes of the Note holders electing to have their Notes remarketed and of the Corporate Units holders on the Initial Remarketing Date, for settlement on May 17, 2004, and (2) in the case of a Failed Initial Remarketing, remarket the Notes of the Note holders electing to have their Notes remarketed or of the Corporate Units 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. In connection with a remarketing contemplated hereby, the Remarketing Agent will enter into a Supplemental Remarketing Agreement (the "Supplemental Remarketing Agreement") with the Company and the Purchase Contract Agent, which shall either be (i) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (with such changes as the Company and the Remarketing Agent may agree upon, it being understood that changes may be necessary in the representations, warranties, covenants and other provisions of the Supplemental Remarketing Agreement due to changes in law or facts and circumstances or in the event that JPMorgan is not the sole remarketing agent, and with such further changes therein as the Remarketing Agent may reasonably request, or (ii) in such other form as the Remarketing Agent may reasonably request, subject to the approval of the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, JPMorgan shall not be obligated to act as Remarketing Agent or Reset Agent hereunder unless the Supplemental Remarketing Agreement is in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to JPMorgan. The Company agrees that JPMorgan shall have the right, on 15 Business Days notice to the Company, to appoint one or more additional remarketing agents so long as any such additional remarketing agents shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. Upon any such appointment, the parties shall enter into an appropriate amendment to this Agreement to reflect the addition of any such remarketing agent. (b) Pursuant to the Supplemental Remarketing Agreement, the Remarketing Agent, either as sole remarketing agent or as representative of a group of remarketing agents appointed as aforesaid, will agree, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and therein, to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to (i) remarket, on the Initial Remarketing Date, the Notes that the Trustee (as such term is defined in the Indenture) shall have notified the Remarketing Agent have been tendered for, or otherwise are to be included in, the Initial Remarketing, at a price per Note such that the aggregate price for the Applicable Principal Amount of the Notes is approximately 100.25% of the Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price and (ii) in the event of a Failed Initial Remarketing, remarket, on the third Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Notes that the Trustee shall have notified the Remarketing Agent have been tendered for, or otherwise are to be included in, the Secondary Remarketing, at a price of approximately 100.25%yof the aggregate principal amount of such Notes. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Remarketing Agent shall not remarket any Notes for a price less than the price (the "Minimum Initial Remarketing Price") necessary for the Applicable Principal Amount of the Notes to have an aggregate price equal to 100% of the Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price, in the case of the Initial Remarketing, or the aggregate principal amount of such Notes, in the case of the Secondary Remarketing. After deducting the fee specified in Section 3 below, the proceeds of such Initial Remarketing or Secondary Remarketing, as the case may be, shall be paid to the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 4.06 or 6.03 of the Pledge Agreement and Section 5.03 or 5.04 of the Purchase Contract Agreement (each of which Sections are incorporated herein by reference). The right of each holder of Notes or Corporate Units to have Notes tendered for the Initial Remarketing or the Secondary Remarketing, as the case may be, shall be limited to the extent that (i) the Remarketing Agent conducts an Initial Remarketing and, in the event of a Failed Initial Remarketing, a Secondary Remarketing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (ii) Notes tendered have not been called for redemption, (iii) the Remarketing Agent is able to find a purchaser or purchasers for tendered Notes at a price of not less than the Minimum Initial Remarketing Price, in the case of the Initial Remarketing, and 100% of the principal amount thereof, in the case of the Secondary Remarketing and (iv) such purchaser or purchasers deliver the purchase price therefor to the Remarketing Agent as and when required. (c) It is understood and agreed that neither the Remarketing Agent nor the Reset Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase any Notes, whether in the Initial Remarketing, Secondary Remarketing or otherwise, and shall in no way be obligated to provide funds to make payment upon tender of Notes for remarketing or to otherwise expend or risk their own funds or incur or be exposed to financial liability in the performance of their respective duties under this Agreement or the Supplemental Remarketing Agreement, and, without limitation of the foregoing, the Remarketing Agent shall not be deemed an underwriter of the remarketed Notes. The Company shall not be obligated in any case to provide funds to make payment upon tender of Notes for remarketing. (d) [Although no assurance can be given, based on current Company performance and market conditions as of the date hereof, and the provisions set forth herein (and incorporated by reference hereto) including, without limitation, the method by which the Reset Spread and the Reset Spread Cap are determined, the Reset Agent does not expect that the Initial Remarketing and, if applicable, the Secondary Remarketing of the Notes would fail if undertaken on the date hereof.] SECTION 3. FEES. In the event of a Successful Initial Remarketing, the Remarketing Agent shall retain as a remarketing fee (the "Remarketing Fee") an amount not exceeding 25 basis points (0.25%) of the Minimum Initial Remarketing Price from any amount received in connection with such Initial Remarketing in excess of the Minimum Initial Remarketing Price. In the event of a Successful Secondary Remarketing, the Remarketing Agent shall retain as the Remarketing Fee an amount not exceeding 25 basis points (0.25%), of the principal amount of the remarketed Notes from any amount received in connection with such Secondary Remarketing in excess of the aggregate principal amount of such remarketed Notes. In addition, the Reset Agent shall, in either case, receive from the Company a reasonable and customary 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 Initial Remarketing Date, in the case of a Successful Initial Remarketing, or on the third Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, in the case of a Successful Secondary Remarketing, 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. (a) The Company may in its absolute discretion replace JPMorgan as the Remarketing Agent and as the Reset Agent hereunder by giving notice prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time (i) on the eleventh Business Day immediately prior to May 17, 2004, or (ii) in the event of a Failed Initial Remarketing, prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time on the eleventh Business Day immediately prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, provided, in either case, that the Company must replace JPMorgan both as Remarketing Agent and as Reset Agent unless JPMorgan shall otherwise agree. 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 the Reset Agent. Upon providing such notice, the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to appoint such a successor and to enter into a remarketing agreement with such successor as soon as reasonably practicable. (b) JPMorgan may resign at any time and be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder as the Remarketing Agent and/or as the Reset Agent by giving notice prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time (i) on the eleventh Business Day immediately prior to May 17, 2004, or (ii) in the event of a Failed Initial Remarketing, on the eleventh Business Day immediately prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. Any such resignation 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 receiving notice from the Remarketing Agent and/or the Reset Agent that it wishes to resign hereunder, the Company shall appoint such a successor and enter into a remarketing agreement with it as soon as reasonably practicable. SECTION 5. DEALING IN THE SECURITIES. Each of the Remarketing Agent and the Reset Agent, when acting hereunder or, in the case of the Remarketing Agent, under the Supplemental Remarketing Agreement, 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 Notes, Treasury Units, Corporate Units or any other securities of the Company. With respect to any Notes, Treasury Units, Corporate Units or any other securities of the Company owned by it, each of the Remarketing Agent and the Reset Agent may exercise any vote or join in any action with like effect as if it did not act in any capacity hereunder. Each of the Remarketing Agent and the Reset 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 Initial Remarketing, if and to the extent required in the view of counsel (which need not be an opinion) for either the Remarketing Agent or the Company by applicable law, regulations or interpretations in effect at the time of such Initial Remarketing, the Company (i) shall use its reasonable efforts to have a registration statement relating to the Notes effective under the Securities Act of 1933 prior to the third Business Day immediately preceding May 17, 2004, (ii) if requested by the Remarketing Agent shall furnish a current preliminary prospectus and, if applicable, a current preliminary prospectus supplement to be used by the Remarketing Agent in the Initial Remarketing not later than seven Business Days prior to May 17, 2004 (or such earlier date as the Remarketing Agent may reasonably request) and in such quantities as the Remarketing Agent may reasonably request, and (iii) shall furnish a current final prospectus and, if applicable, a final prospectus supplement to be used by the Remarketing Agent in the Initial Remarketing not later than the third Business Day immediately preceding May 17, 2004, in such quantities as the Remarketing Agent may reasonably request, and shall pay all expenses relating thereto. In the event of a Failed Initial Remarketing and in connection with the Secondary Remarketing, if and to the extent required in the view of counsel (which need not be an opinion) for either the Remarketing Agent or the Company by applicable law, regulations or interpretations in effect at the time of such Secondary Remarketing, the Company (i) shall use its reasonable efforts to have a registration statement relating to the Notes effective under the Securities Act of 1933 prior to the third Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, (ii) if requested by the Remarketing Agent, shall furnish a current preliminary prospectus and, if applicable, a current preliminary prospectus supplement to be used by the Remarketing Agent in the Secondary Remarketing not later than seven Business Days prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date (or such earlier date as the Remarketing Agent may reasonably request) and in such quantities as the Remarketing Agent may reasonably request, and (iii) shall furnish a current final prospectus and, if applicable, a final prospectus supplement to be used by the Remarketing Agent in the Secondary Remarketing not later than the third Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date in such quantities as the Remarketing Agent may reasonably request, and shall pay all expenses relating thereto.

(b) If at any time during the term of this Agreement, any Indenture 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 has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture, then the obligations and duties of the Remarketing Agent and the Reset Agent under this Agreement and the Supplemental Remarketing Agreement shall be suspended until such default or event has been cured. The Company will promptly give the Remarketing Agent notice of all such defaults and events of which the Company is aware. SECTION 8. TERMINATION OF REMARKETING AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall terminate as to any Remarketing Agent or Reset Agent which is replaced 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. In addition, each former Remarketing Agent and Reset Agent shall be entitled to the rights and benefits under Section 10 of this Agreement notwithstanding the replacement or resignation of such Remarketing Agent or Reset Agent. SECTION 9. REMARKETING AGENT'S AND RESET AGENT'S PERFORMANCE; DUTY OF CARE. The duties and obligations of the Remarketing Agent and the Reset Agent shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement and, in the case of the Remarketing Agent, the Supplemental Remarketing Agreement. No implied covenants or obligations of or against the Remarketing Agent or the Reset Agent shall be read into this Agreement or the Supplemental Remarketing Agreement. In the absence of bad faith on the part of the Remarketing Agent or the Reset Agent, as the case may be, the Remarketing Agent and the Reset Agent each may conclusively rely upon any document furnished to it which purports to conform to the requirements of this Agreement or the Supplemental Remarketing Agreement, as the case may be, as to the truth of the statements expressed therein. Each of the Remarketing Agent and the Reset Agent shall be protected in acting upon any document or communication reasonably believed by it to be signed, presented or made by the proper party or parties. Neither the Remarketing Agent nor the Reset Agent shall have any obligation to determine whether there is any limitation under applicable law on the Reset Rate on the Notes or, if there is any such limitation, the maximum permissible Reset Rate on the Notes, and they shall rely solely upon written notice from the Company (which the Company agrees to provide prior to the tenth Business Day before May 17, 2004, in the case of the Initial Remarketing, and prior to the tenth Business Day before Purchase Contract Settlement Date, in the case of the Secondary Remarketing) as to whether or not there is any such limitation and, if so, the maximum permissible Reset Rate. Neither the Remarketing Agent nor the Reset Agent shall incur any liability under this Agreement or the Supplemental Remarketing Agreement to KCSI or to any beneficial owner or holder of Notes, or other securities, either in its individual capacity or as Remarketing Agent or Reset Agent, as the case may be, for any action or failure to act in connection with the Remarketing or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Supplemental Remarketing Agreement, except to the extent that such liability is finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Remarketing Agent or the Reset Agent, as the case may be. The provisions of this Section 9 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall also continue to apply to every Remarketing Agent and Reset Agent notwithstanding their resignation or removal. SECTION 10. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Remarketing Agent, the Reset Agent and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates and each person, if any, who controls the Remarketing Agent or the Reset Agent within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act") (the Remarketing Agent, the Reset Agent and each such person or entity being an "Indemnified Party"), as follows: (i) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses whatsoever, joint or several, as incurred, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under any applicable federal or state law, or otherwise, and related to, arising out of, or based on (A) the failure to have an effective Registration Statement (as defined in the Supplemental Remarketing Agreement) under the 1933 Act relating to the Notes, as the case may be, if required, or the failure to satisfy the prospectus delivery requirements of the 1933 Act because the Company failed to provide the Remarketing Agent with a Prospectus (as defined in the Supplemental Remarketing Agreement) for delivery, or (B) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto (including any information deemed to be a part of the Registration Statement at the time it became effective pursuant to paragraph (b) of Rule 430A under the 1933 Act, if applicable), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (C) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (D) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any other information (whether oral or written) or documents (including, without limitation, any documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in any such information or documents) provided by the Company for use in connection with the remarketing of the Notes or any of the transactions related thereto, or (E) any breach by the Company of any of the representations, warranties or agreements included or incorporated by reference in this Agreement or the Supplemental Remarketing Agreement, or (F) any failure by the Company to make or consummate the remarketing of the Notes (including, without limitation, any Failed Initial Remarketing or Failed Secondary Remarketing) or the withdrawal, recession, termination, amendment or extension of the terms of such remarketing, or (G) any failure on the part of the Company to comply, or any breach by the Company of, any of the provisions included or incorporated by reference in this Agreement, the Supplemental Remarketing Agreement, the Purchase Contract Agreement, the Corporate Units, the Treasury Units, the Pledge Agreement, the Indenture or the Notes (collectively, the "Operative Documents") or (H) the remarketing of the Notes, as the case may be, or any other transaction contemplated by any of the Operative Documents, or the engagement of the Remarketing Agent or the Reset Agent pursuant to, or the performance by the Remarketing Agent or the Reset Agent of the respective services contemplated by, this Agreement or the Supplemental Remarketing Agreement, whether or not the Initial Remarketing or the Secondary Remarketing or the reset of the interest rate on the Notes as contemplated herein actually occur, PROVIDED that the foregoing indemnification will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to the extent that they are finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person; (ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever related to, arising out of or based on any matter described in (i) above; and (iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by JPMorgan), incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever related to, arising out or based on any matter described in (i) above, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party and whether or not such claim, action or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of the Company to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be liable under clause (i)(B), (i)(C) or (i)(D) to the extent any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Remarketing Agent or the Reset Agent expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any other documents used in connection with remarketing of the Notes, as the case may be; PROVIDED FURTHER that with respect to any untrue statement or omission of a material fact made in any preliminary prospectus, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 10(a) shall not inure to the benefit of the Remarketing Agent to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability of the Remarketing Agent occurs under the circumstance where it shall have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment that (w) the Company had previously furnished copies of the Prospectus to JPMorgan, (x) delivery of the Prospectus was required to be made to such person, (y) the untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in the preliminary prospectus was corrected in the Prospectus, and (z) there was not sent or given to such person, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Securities to such person, a copy of the Prospectus. The Company agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Company or its respective security holders or creditors relating to or arising out of the engagement of the Remarketing Agent or the Reset Agent pursuant to, or the performance by the Remarketing Agent or the Reset Agent of their respective services contemplated by, this Agreement or the Supplemental Remarketing Agreement except to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the wilful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith of the Remarketing Agent or the Reset Agent, as the case may be. The Company agrees that, without JPMorgan's prior written consent, it will not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any action or claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 10 (whether or not JPMorgan or any other Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding, action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party. (b) If the indemnification provided for in Section 10(a) hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then the Company shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Remarketing Agent and the Reset Agent on the other hand from the remarketing of the Notes contemplated hereby or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Remarketing Agent and the Reset Agent on the other hand in connection with the statements, omissions or other matters which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Remarketing Agent and the Reset Agent on the other hand in connection with the remarketing of the Notes contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the aggregate principal amount of the Notes which are or are to be remarketed bears to the aggregate fees actually received by the Remarketing Agent and the Reset Agent under Section 3 hereof. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Remarketing Agent and the Reset Agent on the other hand (i) in the case of an untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or by the Remarketing Agent or the Reset Agent on the other hand and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission and (ii) in the case of any other action or omission shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether such action or omission was taken or omitted to be taken by the Company on the one hand, or by the Remarketing Agent or the Reset Agent, on the other hand, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to prevent or correct such action or omission. The Company, the Remarketing Agent and the Reset Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10(b) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 10(b). The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an Indemnified Party and referred to above in this Section 10(b) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or any such omission or alleged omission or any other such action or omission; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that to the extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the Remarketing Agent or the Reset Agent be required to contribute any amount which, in the aggregate, exceeds the aggregate fees received by them under Section 3 of this Agreement. No investigation or failure to investigate by any Indemnified Party shall impair the foregoing indemnification and contribution agreement or any rights an Indemnified Party may have.
