NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the covenants herein made,
and subject to the conditions herein set forth, the parties hereto agree as
follows:
Section 1. 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 Remarketing Agent.
------------------------------------------------
(a) The Company hereby appoints UBS Warburg LLC and UBS Warburg LLC
hereby as the Reset Agent to determine in consultation with the Company, in the
manner provided for herein and in the Indenture and the Notes Terms (in each
case as in effect on the date of this ) with respect to the
Notes, (1) with respect to the Initial Remarketing Date or any Subsequent
Remarketing Date, 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 100.5% of the Treasury
Portfolio Purchase Price as of the Initial Remarketing Date or any Subsequent
Remarketing Date, and (2) with respect to the Final Remarketing Date, if
applicable, the Reset Rate that, in the opinion of the Reset Agent, will,
2
when applied to the Notes, enable each Note to have an approximate market value
of 100.5% of its principal amount as of the Final Remarketing Date, provided, in
each case, that the Company, by notice to the Reset Agent prior to the tenth
Business Day preceding the applicable Reset Effective Date, 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 the Remarketing Agent 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 or any Subsequent Remarketing Date, as
the case may be, for settlement on the third Business Day thereafter, and (2) in
the event that the Notes have not been successfully remarketed before the Final
Remarketing Date, remarket the Notes of the Note holders electing to have their
Notes remarketed or of the Corporate Units holders who have not elected Early
Settlement of 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 elect
Cash Settlement of the related Purchase Contracts.
(b) In connection with the remarketing contemplated hereby, the
Remarketing Agent will enter into a Supplemental (the
"Supplemental ") with the Company and the Purchase Contract
Agent, which shall be 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 due to changes in law or facts and circumstances or in the event that
one of the Possible Agents is not the sole remarketing agent, and with such
further changes therein as the Remarketing Agent may reasonably request).
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, UBS Warburg LLC shall not be
obligated to act as Remarketing Agent or Reset Agent hereunder unless the
Supplemental is in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to UBS Warburg LLC. The Company agrees that UBS Warburg LLC shall
have the right, on fifteen 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.
(c) Pursuant to the Supplemental , 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 reasonable efforts
(i) to remarket on the Initial Remarketing Date the Notes that the Trustee (as
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 100.5% of the Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price,
(ii) in the event the Initial Remarketing was deferred by the Company pursuant
to Section 5.5 of the Purchase Contract Agreement or resulted in a Failed
Initial Remarketing, to remarket, at the Company's request, from time to time,
all of the Notes of Corporate Unit Holders that the Trustee shall have notified
the Remarketing Agent have been tendered for, or otherwise are to be included
in, a Subsequent Remarketing, at a price per Note such that the aggregate price
for the Applicable Principal Amount of the Notes is approximately 100.5% of the
Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price and (iii) in the event that the
3
Notes have not been successfully remarketed before the Final Remarketing Date,
to remarket on the Final Remarketing Date the Notes that the Trustee shall have
notified the Remarketing Agent have been tendered for, or otherwise are to be
included in, the Final Remarketing, at a price of approximately 100.5% of 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 necessary for the Applicable Principal Amount of such Notes to
have an aggregate price equal to 100% of the Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price,
in the case of the Initial Remarketing or any Subsequent Remarketing, or the
aggregate principal amount of such Notes, in the case of the Final Remarketing
(in any such case, the "Minimum Remarketing Price") . After deducting the fee
specified in Section 3 below, the proceeds of such Initial Remarketing,
Subsequent Remarketing or Final Remarketing, as the case may be, shall be paid
to the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 4.6 or 6.3 of the Pledge
Agreement and Section 5.5 or 5.6 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,
any Subsequent Remarketing or the Final Remarketing, as the case may be, shall
be limited to the extent that (i) the Remarketing Agent conducts the Initial
Remarketing or any Subsequent Remarketing and, in the event that the Notes have
not been successfully remarketed before the Final Remarketing Date, a Final
Remarketing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (ii) Notes tendered have
not otherwise 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 Remarketing Price and (iv) such purchaser or purchasers deliver the
purchase price therefor to the Remarketing Agent as and when required.
(d) 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, any Subsequent Remarketing, Final
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 , and, without limitation of the foregoing, the Remarketing Agent shall
not be deemed an underwriter of the remarketed Notes. Neither the Company nor
Sprint Capital shall be obligated in any case to provide funds to make payment
upon tender of Notes for remarketing.
Section 3. Fees.
----
In the event of a Successful Initial Remarketing, Successful Subsequent
Remarketing or Successful Final 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 Remarketing Price from any amount received in
connection with such Initial Remarketing or Subsequent Remarketing or Final
Remarketing, as the case may be, in excess of the applicable Minimum Remarketing
Price. In addition, the Reset Agent shall, in either case, receive from the
Company a reasonable and customary fee for its serving as Reset Agent (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 date of any Successful 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 and Sprint Capital may in their absolute discretion

Section 1 as the Remarketing Agent and as the Reset Agent hereunder by giving
notice prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time on the eleventh Business Day
immediately prior to the Initial Remarketing Date, any Subsequent Remarketing
Date or the Final Remarketing Date, as the case may be, provided, in either
case, that the Company must replace the UBS Warburg LLC both as Remarketing
Agent and as Reset Agent unless UBS Warburg LLC shall otherwise agree. Any such
replacement shall become effective upon the Company's and Sprint Capital'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 and Sprint Capital shall use all reasonable efforts to
appoint such a successor and to enter into a with such
successor as soon as reasonably practicable.

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 on the eleventh

Remarketing Date or the Final Remarketing Date, as the case may be. Any such
resignation shall be conditioned upon and become effective upon the Company's
and Sprint Capital'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 and Sprint Capital shall appoint
such a successor and enter into a remarketing agreement with it as soon as
reasonably practicable.
(c) The Company and Sprint Capital shall give the Purchase Contract
Agent, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent prompt written notice of the
appointment of any successor Remarketing Agent and Reset Agent.
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 or Sprint Capital.
With respect to any Notes, Treasury Units, Corporate Units or any other
securities of the Company or Sprint Capital 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 or Sprint Capital as freely as if it did not act in
any capacity hereunder.

Section 6. Registration Statement and Prospectus.
-------------------------------------
In connection with the Initial Remarketing, any Subsequent Remarketing
or the Final 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 the
Initial Remarketing, Subsequent Remarketing or the Final Remarketing, as the
case may be, the Company (i) shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to
have a registration statement relating to the Notes effective under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") prior to the Initial
Remarketing Date, any Subsequent Remarketing Date or the Final Remarketing Date,
as applicable, (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, any Subsequent Remarketing or the Final Remarketing, as the case
may be, not later than seven Business Days prior to the date of such remarketing
(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, any
Subsequent Remarketing or the Final Remarketing, as the case may be, not later
than the third Business Day immediately preceding the date of such remarketing
in such quantities as the Remarketing Agent may reasonably request, and shall
pay all expenses relating thereto (any such registration statement referred to
in this Section 6 being referred to herein as a "Registration Statement") and
any prospectus referred to in this Section 6 being referred to as a
"Prospectus"). The Company shall also take all such actions as may (upon advice
of counsel to the Company or the Remarketing Agent) be necessary or desirable
under state securities or blue sky laws in connection with the Initial
Remarketing, any Subsequent Remarketing and the Final Remarketing.
Section 7. Conditions to the Remarketing Agent's Obligations.
-------------------------------------------------
(a) The obligations of the Remarketing Agent and the Reset Agent under

Agreement and the Supplemental Remarketing Agreement, including, without

Agreement, the Indenture, the Notes Pricing Resolutions and this Agreement and
the Supplemental Remarketing Agreement (including, without limitation, giving
the Remarketing Agent notice of the Treasury Portfolio Purchase Price no later
than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the fourth Business Day prior to the
applicable Remarketing Date, in the case of the Initial Remarketing or any
Subsequent Remarketing, and giving the Remarketing Agent notice of the aggregate
principal amount of Notes to be remarketed, no later than 10:00 a.m., New York
City time, on the fourth Business Day prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement
6
Date, in the case of the Final Remarketing, and, in each case, concurrently
delivering the Notes to be remarketed to the Remarketing Agent), (iv) no Event
of Default (as defined in the Indenture) shall have occurred and be continuing,
(v) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and Sprint

incorporated by reference in the Supplemental Remarketing Agreement or in
certificates of any officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries delivered
pursuant to this Agreement and provisions specifically incorporated by reference

would become an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under 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 written 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 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 pursuant to Section ___ as to
whether or not there is any such limitation and, if so, the maximum permissible
Reset Rate. Neither the Remarketing Agent nor
7
the Reset Agent shall incur any liability under this Agreement or the
Supplemental Remarketing Agreement 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. 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. Indemnity and Contribution.
---------------------------
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Remarketing
Agent, the Reset Agent 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 or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act") from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and
liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such
action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact contained in any Registration Statement or any amendment thereof,
any preliminary prospectus or any Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the
Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused
by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any
such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based
upon information relating to the Remarketing Agent or the Reset Agent furnished
to the Company in writing by or on behalf of the Remarketing Agent or the Reset
Agent through the Remarketing Agent or the Reset Agent expressly for use
therein; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement with respect
to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of the Remarketing
Agent or the Reset Agent if the person asserting any such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities purchased Notes, or any person controlling the
Remarketing Agent or the Reset Agent, as applicable, if it shall be established
that a copy of any Prospectus was not sent or given by or on behalf of the
Remarketing Agent or the Reset Agent, as applicable, to such person, if required
by law so to have been delivered, at or prior to the written confirmation of the
sale of the Notes to such person, and if such Prospectus would have cured the
defect giving rise to such losses, claims, damages or liabilities.
(b) Each of the Remarketing Agent and the Reset Agent agrees,
severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the
directors of the Company, the officers of the Company who sign any Registration
Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning
of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act
from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including,
without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in
connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
any Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus
or any Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have
furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by any omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only with
reference to information relating to the
8
Remarketing Agent or the Reset Agent, as applicable, furnished to the Company in
writing by or on behalf of the Remarketing Agent or the Reset Agent, as
applicable, expressly for use in any Registration Statement, any preliminary
prospectus, any Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto.
(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation)
shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be
sought pursuant to Section 10(a) or 10(b), such person (the "indemnified party")
shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the
"indemnifying party") in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so
to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve such indemnifying party
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, upon request of the
indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the
indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and
disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such
proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own
counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of
such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified
party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the
named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include
both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both
parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party
shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in
connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction,
be liable for (i) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in
addition to any local counsel) for the Remarketing Agent and the Reset Agent and
all persons, if any, who control the Remarketing Agent or the Reset Agent within
the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act and (ii) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in
addition to any local counsel) for the Company, its directors, its officers who
sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of either such Section. In the case of any such
separate firm for the Remarketing Agent and the Reset Agent and such control
persons of the Remarketing Agent and the Reset Agent, such firm shall be
designated in writing jointly by the Remarketing Agent and the Reset Agent. In
the case of any such separate firm for the Company, and such directors, officers
and control persons of the Company, such firm shall be designated in writing by
the Company. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of
any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such
consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying
party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or
liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the
foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an
indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of
counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the
indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is
entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the
aforesaid request, (ii) such request sets forth the terms of the proposed
settlement and (iii) such indemnifying party
9
shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request
prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the
prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any
pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or
could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such
indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of
such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter
of such proceeding.
(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 10(a) or
10(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each
indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the
indemnified party or parties on the other hand from the offering of the Notes or
(ii) if the allocation provided by clause 10(d)(i) above is not permitted by
applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the
relative benefits referred to in clause 10(d)(i) above but also the relative
fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and of the
indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements
or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, 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 offering of the Notes
shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds
from the offering of the Notes (before deducting expenses) received by the
Company and the total fees received by the Remarketing Agent and the Reset
Agent, bear to the aggregate sales price of the remarketed Notes. The relative
fault of the Company and the Remarketing Agent and the Reset Agent shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state
a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the
Remarketing Agent and the Reset Agent and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission.
(e) The Company, the Remarketing Agent and the Reset Agent agree that
it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10
were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Remarketing Agent and the
Reset Agent were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method
of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations
referred to in Section 10(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party
as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the
