ARTICLE 2
The Credits

Section 2.01 Commitments to Lend. (a) Committed Loans. Each Bank severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make loans to the Borrower pursuant to this Section from time to time prior to the Termination Date applicable to such Bank; provided that, immediately after each such loan is made: (i) the Outstanding Committed Amount of such Bank at any one time outstanding shall not exceed the amount of its Commitment and (ii) the Total Outstanding Amount shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments. Each Borrowing under this Section shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000 (except that any such Borrowing may be in the aggregate amount of the unused Commitments) and shall be made from the several Banks ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments. Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow under this Section, repay, or to the extent permitted by Section 2.12, prepay Loans and reborrow under this Section 2.01(a).

(b) Extension of Commitments. The Borrower may, upon not less than 30 days but no earlier than 60 days notice prior to the first and/or second anniversary of the Effective Date to the Servicing Agent (which shall notify each Bank of receipt of such request), propose to extend the then-current Termination Date for each Bank for an additional one-year period measured from the then-current Termination Date then in effect for such Bank. Each Bank shall endeavor to respond to such request, whether affirmatively or negatively (such determination in the sole discretion of such Bank), by notice to the Borrower and the Servicing Agent not later than 20 days after such Bank is in receipt of such request. Subject to the execution by the Borrower, the Administrative Agents and such Banks of a duly completed Extension Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit F, the Termination Date applicable to the Commitment of each Bank so affirmatively notifying the Borrower and the Servicing Agent shall be extended for the period specified above; provided that the Termination Date shall not be extended unless Banks having more than 50% in aggregate amount of the Commitments in effect at the time any such extension is requested shall have elected so to extend their Commitments. Any Bank which does not give such notice (a “Non-Extending Bank”) to the Borrower and the Servicing Agent shall be deemed to have elected not to extend as requested, and the Commitment of each Non-Extending Bank shall terminate on, and each of its outstanding Loans shall mature on a date no later than, the Termination Date determined without giving effect to such requested extension. The Borrower shall have the right, with the assistance of the Administrative Agents, to seek a mutually satisfactory substitute bank or banks or other financial institution (which may be, but need not be, an extending Bank) to replace a Non-Extending Bank.

(New York City time) on (x) the third Business Day prior to the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction or (y) the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction (or, in either case, such other time or date as the Borrower and the Servicing Agent shall have mutually agreed and shall have notified to the Banks not later than the date of the Competitive Bid Quote Request for the first LIBOR Auction or Absolute Rate Auction for which such change is to be effective), the Borrower shall notify the Servicing Agent of its acceptance or non-acceptance of the offers so notified to it pursuant to subsection (e). In the case of acceptance, such notice (a “Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing”) shall specify the aggregate principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted. The Borrower may accept any Competitive Bid Quote in whole or in part; provided that:

(i) the aggregate principal amount of each Competitive Bid Borrowing may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Competitive Bid Quote Request,

(ii) the principal amount of each Competitive Bid Borrowing must be $10,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000,

If offers are made by two or more Banks with the same Competitive Bid Margins or Competitive Bid Absolute Rates, as the case may be, for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which such offers are accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be allocated by the Servicing Agent among such Banks as nearly as possible (in multiples of $1,000,000, as the Servicing Agent may deem appropriate) in proportion to the aggregate principal amounts of such offers. Determinations by the Servicing Agent of the amounts of Competitive Bid Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.04 Notice to Banks; Funding of Loans. (a) Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Servicing Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank’s share (if any) of such Borrowing, and if the Borrower has selected for a Euro-Dollar Loan an Interest Period having duration of twelve months, the Servicing Agent shall endeavor to elicit from each Bank whether such Bank is able to provide funding for such Loan at the requested duration of Interest Period.

20

---

(c) Unless the Servicing Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Bank will not make available to the Servicing Agent such Bank’s share of such Borrowing, the Servicing Agent may assume that such Bank has made such share available to the Servicing Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 2.04 and the Servicing Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made such share available to the Servicing Agent, such Bank and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Servicing Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Servicing Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the higher of the Federal Funds Rate and the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.07 and (ii) in the case of such Bank, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Bank shall repay to the Servicing Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank’s Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 2.05 Notes. (a) Each Bank may, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agents, request (i) that its Loans be evidenced by a single Note payable to the order of such Bank for the account of its Applicable Lending Office in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Bank’s Loans or (ii) that its Loans of a particular Type be evidenced by a separate Note in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Loans.

(b) Each Bank shall record the date, amount, Type and maturity of each Loan made by it and the date and amount of each payment of principal made by the Borrower with respect thereto, and may, if such Bank so elects in connection with any transfer or enforcement of its Note, endorse on the schedule forming a part thereof appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to each such Loan then outstanding; provided that the failure of any Bank to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes. Each Bank is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrower so to endorse its Note and to attach to and make a part of its Note a continuation of any such schedule as and when required.

Section 2.07 Interest Rates. (a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made until it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate for such day.

Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, at intervals of three months after the first day thereof.

The “London Interbank Offered Rate” applicable to any Interest Period means the rate per annum equal to the London interbank offered rate for deposits in dollars for a period of time comparable to such Interest Period appearing on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or any successor page or substitute page on such screen that publishes such rate, or, in the event such rate does not appear on a Reuters page or screen, on the appropriate page of such other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as shall be selected by the Servicing Agent in its reasonable discretion) at approximately 11:00 A.M. (London time) two Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period; provided that if the London Interbank Offered Rate is less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement.

Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, at intervals of three months after the first day thereof. Any overdue principal of or interest on any Competitive Bid Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the Base Rate for such day.

(e) The Servicing Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder. The Servicing Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the participating Banks of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.08 Method of Electing Interest Rates.

Thereafter, the Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Group of Loans (subject to Section 2.08(d) and the provisions of Article 8, as follows):

(i) if such Loans are Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert such Loans to Euro-Dollar Loans as of any Business Day; and

(ii) if such Loans are Euro-Dollar Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert such Loans to Base Rate Loans as of any Business Day or to continue such Loans as Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional Interest Period, subject to Section 2.14 if any such conversion is effective on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loans.

Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice (a “Notice of Interest Rate Election”) to the Servicing Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day before the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective. A Notice of Interest Rate Election may, if it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Group of Loans; provided that (i) such portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising such Group of Loans and (ii) the portion to which such Notice applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each at least $10,000,000 (unless such portion is consisting of Base Rate Loans). If no such notice is timely received before the end of an Interest Period for any Group of Loans consisting of Euro-Dollar Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that such Group of Loans be converted to Euro-Dollar Loans with an Interest Period of one month at the end of such Interest Period.

23

---

(b) Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall specify:

(i) the Group of Loans (or portion thereof) to which such notice applies;

(ii) the date on which the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with the applicable clause of Section 2.08(a) above;

(iii) if the Loans comprising such Group of Loans are to be converted, the new Type of Loans and, if the Loans resulting from such conversion are to be Euro-Dollar Loans, the duration of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable thereto; and

(iv) if such Loans are to be continued as Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional Interest Period, the duration of such additional Interest Period.

Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Election shall comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period.

(c) Promptly after receiving a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.08(a) above, the Servicing Agent shall notify each Bank of the contents thereof, and if the Borrower has selected for a Euro-Dollar Loan an Interest Period having duration of twelve months, the Servicing Agent shall endeavor to elicit from each Bank whether such Bank is able to continue funding of the relevant Loan at the requested duration of Interest Period or to convert funding of the relevant Loan to the requested duration of Interest Period (as the case may be). Such Notice of Interest Rate Election shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

(d) The Borrower shall not be entitled to elect to convert any Committed Loans to, or continue any Committed Loans for an additional Interest Period as, Euro-Dollar Loans if (i) the aggregate principal amount of any Group of Loans consisting of Euro-Dollar Loans created or continued as a result of such election would be less than $10,000,000, (ii) more than 15 Groups of Loans shall be outstanding at any time or (iii) a Default shall have occurred and be continuing when the Borrower delivers notice of such election to the Servicing Agent.

(e) If any Committed Loan is converted to a different Type of Loan, the Borrower shall pay, on the date of such conversion, the interest accrued to such date on the principal amount being converted.

(f) A conversion or continuation pursuant to this Section 2.08 is not a Borrowing.

Section 2.09 Fees. (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Servicing Agent for the account of each Bank ratably in proportion to its Credit Exposure a facility fee at the Facility Fee Rate (determined daily in accordance with the Pricing Schedule) on the aggregate amount of the Credit Exposures on such day; provided that no Defaulting Bank shall be entitled to receive any facility fee except in respect of its outstanding Loans for any period during which that Bank is a Defaulting Bank (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Bank). Such facility fee shall accrue from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which the Credit Exposures are reduced to zero.

24

---

(b) The Borrower shall pay (i) to the Servicing Agent on behalf of the Banks a Letter of Credit Fee (determined daily in accordance with the Pricing Schedule) accruing daily on the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and (ii) to each Issuing Bank for its own account a letter of credit fronting fee accruing daily on the aggregate amount then available for drawing under all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank at such rate per annum as may be mutually agreed between the Borrower and such Issuing Bank from time to time; provided, that (A) to the extent that all or a portion of the Letter of Credit Liabilities in respect of any Defaulting Bank is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Banks pursuant to Section 2.20(a), such fees that would have accrued for the benefit of such Defaulting Bank will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to such Non-Defaulting Banks, pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments, and (B) to the extent that all or any portion of such Letter of Credit Liabilities cannot be so reallocated and the Borrower has not provided cash collateral in respect thereof, such fees will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to the respective Issuing Banks ratably according to the outstanding Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Bank.

(c) Accrued fees under this Section shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof, and ending on the date on which the Credit Exposures are reduced to zero.

Section 2.10 Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower may, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Servicing Agent, (i) terminate the Commitments at any time, if no Loans or Letter of Credit Liabilities are outstanding at such time or (ii) ratably reduce from time to time the aggregate amount of the Commitments in excess of the Total Outstanding Amount; provided that each such reduction shall reduce the Commitments by an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 (or any larger multiple of $1,000,000).

Section 2.11 Mandatory Termination of Commitments. The Commitment of each Bank shall terminate on the Termination Date applicable to such Bank and any Loans made by such Bank then outstanding (together with accrued interest thereon) shall be due and payable on such date.

Section 2.12 Optional Prepayments. (a) Subject in the case of any Fixed Rate Loan to Section 2.14, the Borrower may, upon at least one Business Day’s notice to the Servicing Agent, prepay any Group of Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans (or any Competitive Bid Borrowing bearing interest at the Base Rate pursuant to Section 8.01(a)) or upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Servicing Agent, prepay any Group of Loans consisting of Euro-Dollar Loans, in each case in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating $10,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the several Banks included in such Group of Loans (or Borrowing).

(b) Except as provided in subsection (a) above, the Borrower may not prepay all or any portion of the principal amount of any Competitive Bid Loan prior to the maturity thereof.

25

---

(c) Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section, the Servicing Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank’s ratable share (if any) of such prepayment and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

Section 2.13 General Provisions as to Payments. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and of fees hereunder, not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date when due, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, without set-off or counterclaim, to the Servicing Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.01. The Servicing Agent will promptly distribute to each Bank its ratable share of each such payment received by the Servicing Agent for the account of the Banks. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Base Rate Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Euro-Dollar Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless such Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Competitive Bid Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

(b) Unless the Servicing Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Servicing Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Servicing Agent on such date and the Servicing Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Bank shall repay to the Servicing Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Servicing Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

Section 2.14 Funding Losses. If the Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any Fixed Rate Loan or any Fixed Rate Loan is converted to a different Type of Loan (whether such payment or conversion is pursuant to Article 2, 6, or 8 or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or if the Borrower fails to borrow, prepay, convert or continue any Fixed Rate Loan after notice has been given to any Bank in accordance with Section 2.04(a), 2.08(c) or 2.12(c), or if the Borrower shall require an assignment of a Fixed Rate Loan in accordance with Section 8.06 on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall reimburse each Bank within 15 days after demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or, subject to Section 9.06(d), by an existing or prospective Participant in the related Loan), including (without limitation) any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment or conversion or failure to borrow, prepay, convert or continue; provided that such Bank shall have delivered to the Borrower a certificate as to the amount of such loss or expense, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.15 Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest based on the Citibank Rate hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

Section 2.16 Regulation D Compensation. Each Bank may require the Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on the Euro-Dollar Loans, additional interest on the related Euro-Dollar Loan of such Bank at a rate per annum determined by such Bank up to but not exceeding the excess of (i)(A) the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate divided by (B) one minus the Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage over (ii) the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate. Any Bank wishing to require payment of such additional interest (x) shall so notify the Borrower and the Servicing Agent, in which case such additional interest on the Euro-Dollar Loans of such Bank shall be payable to such Bank at the place indicated in such notice with respect to each Interest Period commencing at least three Business Days after the giving of such notice and (y) shall notify the Borrower at least five Business Days prior to each date on which interest is payable on the Euro-Dollar Loans of the amount then due it under this Section.

Section 2.17 Increased Commitments; Additional Banks. (a) Subsequent to the Effective Date, the Borrower may, upon at least 30 days’ notice to the Servicing Agent (which shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to the Banks), propose to increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments by an amount not to exceed $500,000,000 (the amount of any such increase, the “Increased Commitments”). Each Bank party to this Agreement at such time shall have the right (but no obligation), for a period of 15 days following receipt of such notice, to elect by notice to the Borrower and the Servicing Agent to increase its Commitment by a principal amount which bears the same ratio to the Increased Commitments as its then Commitment bears to the aggregate Commitments then existing. If a Bank party does not respond within such 15 day period following receipt of such notice it shall be deemed to have elected not to increase its Commitment.

(b) If any Bank party to this Agreement shall not elect to increase its Commitment pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section, the Borrower may designate another lender or other lenders (which may be, but need not be, one or more of the existing Banks) which at the time agree to (i) in the case of any such lender that is an existing Bank, increase its Commitment and (ii) in the case of any other such lender (an “Additional Bank”), become a party to this Agreement. The sum of the increases in the Commitments of the existing Banks pursuant to this subsection (b) plus the Commitments of the Additional Banks shall not in the aggregate exceed the unsubscribed amount of the Increased Commitments.

27

---

(c) An increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall become effective upon the receipt by the Servicing Agent of an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Servicing Agent signed by the Borrower, by each Additional Bank and by each other Bank whose Commitment is to be increased, setting forth the new Commitments of such Banks and setting forth the agreement of each Additional Bank to become a party to this Agreement and to be bound by all the terms and provisions hereof, together with such evidence of appropriate corporate authorization on the part of the Borrower with respect to the Increased Commitments and such opinions of counsel for the Borrower with respect to the Increased Commitments as the Servicing Agent may reasonably request.

(d) Upon any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.17 that is not pro rata among all Banks, within five Business Days, in the case of any Group of Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans then outstanding, and at the end of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, in the case of any Group of Loans consisting of Euro-Dollar Loans then outstanding, the Borrower shall prepay such Group of Loans in its entirety and, to the extent the Borrower elects to do so and subject to the conditions specified in Article 3, the Borrower shall re-borrow Committed Loans from the Banks in proportion to their respective Commitments after giving effect to such increase, until such time as all outstanding Committed Loans are held by the Banks in such proportion.

Section 2.18 Letters of Credit.

(a) Commitment to Issue Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and so long as no Stop Issuance Notice is in effect, each Issuing Bank in reliance upon the agreements of the other Banks set forth in this Section 2.18 agrees to issue Letters of Credit from time to time before the Letter of Credit Termination Date applicable to such Issuing Bank upon the request of the Borrower; provided that immediately after each Letter of Credit is issued (x) the Total Outstanding Amount shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments, (y) the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities of all Banks shall not exceed $100,000,000 and (z) the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities in respect of Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank shall not exceed such Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment without the consent of such Issuing Bank; and provided further that if (i) the Termination Date has been extended as to some but not all Banks pursuant to Section 2.01(b) and (ii) the Borrower requests the issuance of a Letter of Credit which expires later than the Letter of Credit Termination Date in effect prior to such extension, then compliance with clause (x) above shall be determined solely with reference to the Banks whose Commitments have been so extended. If the Borrower so requests (in order to accommodate a Letter of Credit having an available amount greater than an Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment or otherwise), an Issuing Bank may assign all or a portion of its Letter of Credit Commitment to another Issuing Bank that agrees to accept such assignment. Upon the date of issuance by an Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have sold to each Bank, and each Bank shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit and the related Letter of Credit Liabilities in the proportion its respective Commitment bears to the aggregate Commitments. Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Bank further acknowledges and agrees that its participation in each Letter of Credit will be automatically adjusted to reflect such Bank’s proportion of the Commitments at each time such Bank’s Commitment is amended pursuant to an increase of the Commitments in accordance with Section 2.17, an assignment in accordance with Section 9.06 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement.

28

---

(b) Method for Issuance; Terms; Extensions.

(i) The Borrower shall give the Issuing Bank selected by it notice at least three Business Days (or such shorter notice as may be acceptable to such Issuing Bank in its discretion) prior to the requested date of issuance or extension of a Letter of Credit specifying the date such Letter of Credit is to be issued or extended, and describing the terms of such Letter of Credit and the nature of the transactions to be supported thereby in reasonable detail (such notice, a “Notice of Issuance”). Upon receipt of a Notice of Issuance, such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Servicing Agent, and the Servicing Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of the amount of such Bank’s participation in such Letter of Credit.

(ii) The obligation of an Issuing Bank to issue each Letter of Credit shall, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02, be subject to the condition precedent that such Letter of Credit shall be in such form and contain such terms as shall be satisfactory to such Issuing Bank and the Borrower. The Borrower shall also pay to each Issuing Bank for its own account customary issuance, drawing, amendment and extension charges in the amounts and at the times as agreed between the Borrower and such Issuing Bank.

(iii) The renewal of any Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be an issuance of such Letter of Credit, and if any Letter of Credit contains a provision pursuant to which it is deemed to be renewed unless notice of termination is given by the applicable Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall give such notice of termination if and only if (x) such Issuing Bank is so instructed by the Borrower in writing not less than three Business Days prior to the deadline for doing so, (y) a Stop Issuance Notice is in effect or (z) the extended term of such Letter of Credit would end after the Letter of Credit Termination Date applicable to such Issuing Bank. No Letter of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank shall have a term extending or extendible beyond the Letter of Credit Termination Date applicable to such Issuing Bank.

29

(c) Payments; Reimbursement Obligations.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Servicing Agent and the Servicing Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and each other Bank as to the amount to be paid as a result of such demand or drawing and the date such payment is to be made by such Issuing Bank (the “Payment Date”). The Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse such Issuing Bank for any amounts paid by such Issuing Bank upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind. Such reimbursement shall be due from the Borrower on the date of receipt by it of notice from the applicable Issuing Bank of its obligation to make such payment (or, if such notice is received by the Borrower after 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on any date, on the next succeeding Business Day); provided that if and to the extent any such reimbursement is not made by the Borrower in accordance with this clause (i) or clause (ii) on the Payment Date, then (irrespective of when notice thereof is received by the Borrower), such reimbursement obligation shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day from and including the Payment Date to but not including the date such reimbursement obligation is paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans for such day.

(ii) All such amounts paid by an Issuing Bank and remaining unpaid by the Borrower (a “Reimbursement Obligation”) shall, if and to the extent that the amount of such Reimbursement Obligation would be permitted as a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.01, and unless the Borrower otherwise instructs the Servicing Agent by not less than one Business Day’s prior notice, convert automatically to Base Rate Loans on the date such Reimbursement Obligation arises. The Servicing Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Servicing Agent so to act on its behalf), give notice no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on such date requesting each Bank to make, and each Bank hereby agrees to make, a Base Rate Loan, in an amount equal to such Bank’s Percentage of the Reimbursement Obligation with respect to which such notice relates. Each Bank shall make such Loan available to the Servicing Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.01 in immediately available funds, not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time), on the date specified in such notice. The Servicing Agent shall pay the proceeds of such Loans to the applicable Issuing Bank, which shall immediately apply such proceeds to repay the Reimbursement Obligation.

(iii) To the extent the Reimbursement Obligation is not refinanced by a Bank pursuant to clause (ii) above, such Bank will pay to the Servicing Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, immediately upon such Issuing Bank’s demand at any time during the period commencing after such Reimbursement Obligation arises until reimbursement therefor in full by the Borrower, an amount equal to such Bank’s Percentage of such Reimbursement Obligation, together with interest on such amount for each day from the date of the applicable Issuing Bank’s demand for such payment (or, if such demand is made after 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on such date, from the next succeeding Business Day) to the date of payment by such Bank of such amount at a rate of interest per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for the first three Business Days after the date of such demand and thereafter at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for each additional day. Each Issuing Bank will pay to each Bank ratably all amounts received from the Borrower for application in payment of its Reimbursement Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit, but only to the extent such Bank has made payment to such Issuing Bank in respect of such Letter of Credit pursuant hereto.

30

---

(iv) In the event that any payment of any Reimbursement Obligation by the Borrower to any Issuing Bank is required to be returned to the Borrower (x) if and to the extent the Banks shall have previously funded their participations in such Reimbursement Obligation pursuant to clause (iii) above, each Bank shall return to such Issuing Bank any portion of such payment previously distributed to it by such Issuing Bank and (y) if and to the extent the Banks shall not have previously funded such Reimbursement Obligation, the Banks obligations under clause (iii) above shall apply as if such Reimbursement Obligation were due but not paid at such time.

(v) To the extent there is a conflict between this Agreement and any Issuing Bank’s application, reimbursement agreement or related document or agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

(d) Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Borrower and each Bank under subsection (c) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including without limitation the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any Letter of Credit, or any term or provision therein or any document related hereto or thereto;

(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Letter of Credit or any document related hereto or thereto;

(iii) the use which may be made of the Letter of Credit by, or any acts or omission of, a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom the beneficiary may be acting);

(iv) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other rights that the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom the beneficiary may be acting), any Bank (including any Issuing Bank) or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement or the Letter of Credit or any document related hereto or thereto or any unrelated transaction;

(v) any statement or any other draft or document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever;

(vi) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other documents that do not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or

31

---

(vii) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any Bank (including any Issuing Bank), the Servicing Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this subsection (vii), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, or defense to the Borrower’s or the Bank’s obligations hereunder.

(e) Indemnification; Expenses.

(i) Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless each Bank (including each Issuing Bank) and the Servicing Agent from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which it may reasonably incur in connection with a Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.18; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Bank, or the Servicing Agent, for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses, to the extent the same has been caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) of such Person.

(ii) Neither any of the Banks (including an Issuing Bank) nor the Servicing Agent nor any of their officers or directors or employees or agents shall be liable or responsible, by reason of or in connection with the execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or failure to pay under any Letter of Credit, including without limitation any of the circumstances enumerated in Section 2.18(d) above or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that, notwithstanding Section 2.18(d), the Borrower shall have a claim for direct (but not consequential, punitive or any other indirect) damage suffered by it, to the extent caused by the Issuing Bank's failure to exercise care when handling a drawing under a Letter of Credit or determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties hereto agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(iii) Nothing in this subsection (e) is intended to limit the obligations of the Borrower under any other provision of this Agreement. To the extent the Borrower does not indemnify an Issuing Bank as required by this subsection, the Banks agree to do so ratably in accordance with their Commitments.

32

---

(f) Letter of Credit Reports. Each Issuing Bank shall furnish (i) to the Servicing Agent on the first Business Day of each month a written report summarizing issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit during the preceding month and drawings during such month under all Letters of Credit and (ii) to the Servicing Agent and each Bank on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter a written report setting forth the average daily aggregate available amount during the preceding calendar quarter of all Letters of Credit.

Section 2.19 Stop Issuance Notice. If the Required Banks determine at any time that the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 would not be satisfied in respect of a Borrowing at such time, then the Required Banks may request that the Servicing Agent issue a “Stop Issuance Notice”, and the Servicing Agent shall issue such notice to each Issuing Bank. Such Stop Issuance Notice shall be withdrawn upon a determination by the Required Banks that the circumstances giving rise thereto no longer exist. No Letter of Credit shall be issued while a Stop Issuance Notice is in effect. The Required Banks may request issuance of a Stop Issuance Notice only if there is a reasonable basis therefor, and shall consider reasonably and in good faith a request from the Borrower for withdrawal of the same on the basis that the conditions in Section 3.02 are satisfied; provided that the Servicing Agent and the Issuing Banks may and shall conclusively rely on any Stop Issuance Notice while it remains in effect. The absence of a Stop Issuance Notice at any time shall not affect the rights and obligations of the parties hereto at any time that the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 would not be satisfied in respect of a Borrowing at such time or create any implication that such conditions would be satisfied at such time.

Section 2.20 Defaulting Banks.

(a) If a Bank becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Bank, the following provisions shall apply:

(i) such Defaulting Bank’s Letter of Credit Liabilities will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below and provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is containing, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank) among the Non-Defaulting Banks pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments; provided that (A) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Bank’s aggregate principal amount of Loans and allocated share of the Letter of Credit Liabilities may not in any event exceed the Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Bank as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (B) subject to Section 9.14, neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Bank pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Servicing Agent, any Issuing Bank, or any other Bank may have against such Defaulting Bank or cause such Defaulting Bank to be a Non-Defaulting Bank;

(ii) to the extent that any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Defaulting Bank’s Letter of Credit Liabilities cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the first proviso in clause (i) above or otherwise, the Borrower will, not later than three Business Days after demand by the Servicing Agent (at the direction of the applicable Issuing Bank(s)), (A) cash collateralize the obligations of the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit Liabilities in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated portion of such Letter of Credit Liabilities, or (B) make other arrangements satisfactory to the Servicing Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank(s), as the case may be, in their reasonable discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Bank;

33

---

(iii) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Servicing Agent for the account of such Defaulting Bank (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 6 or otherwise) or received by the Servicing Agent from a Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 9.04 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Servicing Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the Servicing Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to any Issuing Bank hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the Letter of Credit Liabilities of such Defaulting Bank in accordance with this Section 2.20; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Servicing Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Servicing Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Bank’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the future Letter of Credit Liabilities of such Defaulting Bank with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Banks or the Issuing Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Bank or the Issuing Banks against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Bank or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Letter of Credit Liabilities in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Letter of Credit Liabilities owed to, all Non-Defaulting Banks on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Letter of Credit Liabilities owed to, such Defaulting Bank until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Liabilities are held by the Banks pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.20(a)(i). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Bank that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Bank or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.20(a)(iii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Bank, and each Bank irrevocably consents hereto; and

(iv) so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Bank or a Potential Defaulting Bank, the Issuing Banks shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and such Defaulting Bank’s or such Potential Defaulting Bank’s then outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Banks and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.20(a)(ii), and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Banks in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(a)(ii) (and such Defaulting Bank or Potential Defaulting Bank shall not participate therein).

34

---

(b) No Commitment of any Bank shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.20, performance by the Borrower of its obligations shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of the operation of this Section 2.20. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Bank under this Section 2.20 are in addition to any other rights and remedies which the Borrower, the Servicing Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Bank may have against such Defaulting Bank.

(c) If the Borrower, each Issuing Bank and the Servicing Agent agree in writing in their reasonable determination that a Defaulting Bank or a Potential Defaulting Bank should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Bank or a Potential Defaulting Bank, as the case may be, the Servicing Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Bank will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Banks or take such other actions as the Servicing Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be funded and held on a pro rata basis by the Banks in accordance with their Percentages, whereupon such Bank will cease to be a Defaulting Bank or Potential Defaulting Bank; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Bank was a Defaulting Bank; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Bank or Potential Defaulting Bank to Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Bank’s having been a Defaulting Bank or Potential Defaulting Bank.

(d) The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of any Bank that is a Defaulting Bank upon not less than ten Business Days’ prior notice to the Servicing Agent (which shall promptly notify the Banks thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.20(a)(iii) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Bank under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agents, the Servicing Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Bank may have against such Defaulting Bank.

then, and in every such event, the Servicing Agent shall (i) if requested by Banks having more than 50% in aggregate amount of the Commitments, by notice to the Borrower terminate the Commitments and they shall thereupon terminate, and (ii) if requested by Banks holding more than 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans, by notice to the Borrower declare the Loans (together with accrued interest thereon) to be, and the Loans shall thereupon become, immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower; provided that in the case of any of the Events of Default specified in clause (g) or (h) above with respect to the Borrower, without any notice to the Borrower or any other act by the Servicing Agent or the Banks, the Commitments shall thereupon terminate and the Loans (together with accrued interest thereon) shall become immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower.

ARTICLE 7
The Agents

Section 7.01 Appointment and Authorization. Each Bank irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agents and the Servicing Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the Notes as are delegated to the Administrative Agents and the Servicing Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Banks, and neither the Borrower shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions, except as expressly provided in Section 7.06. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein (or any other similar term) with reference to an Administrative Agent or the Servicing Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

Section 7.02 Rights as a Bank. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Bank as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent and the term “Bank” or “Banks” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association and their respective affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Banks.

Section 7.04 Reliance by Agent. Each Administrative Agent and the Servicing Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Administrative Agent and the Servicing Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Bank, each Administrative Agent and the Servicing Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Bank unless an officer of such Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit, and in the case of a Borrowing, such Bank shall not have made available to the Servicing Agent such Bank’s ratable portion of such Borrowing. Each Administrative Agent and the Servicing Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 7.05 Delegation of Duties. Each Administrative Agent and the Servicing Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Administrative Agent and the Servicing Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. Each such sub-agent and the Related Parties of each Agent and each such sub-agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article 7 and Section 9.03 (as though such subagents were the “Agent” under this Agreement) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

Section 7.06 Resignation of Agent. (a) The Servicing Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Banks and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right, subject to approval by the Borrower so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Servicing Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Banks) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Servicing Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Servicing Agent meeting the consent requirements and qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

49

(b) (i) If the Person serving as Servicing Agent is a Defaulting Bank pursuant to clause (v) of the definition thereof, the Required Banks may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Servicing Agent and, subject to approval by the Borrower so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Banks) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(ii) If a Person serving as an Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Bank pursuant to clause (v) of the definition thereof, the Required Banks may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as an Administrative Agent and, subject to approval by the Borrower so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Banks), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on such date.

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Servicing Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Servicing Agent hereunder (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Servicing Agent on behalf of the Banks or the Issuing Banks hereunder, the retiring or removed Servicing Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Servicing Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Servicing Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Servicing Agent shall instead be made by or to each Bank and Issuing Bank directly, until such time, if any, as a successor Servicing Agent is appointed as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Servicing Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties as Servicing Agent of the retiring or removed Servicing Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Servicing Agent), and the retiring or removed Servicing Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as Servicing Agent hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Servicing Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Servicing Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Servicing Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Servicing Agent was acting as Servicing Agent.

50

---

(d) Any resignation pursuant to this Section by a Person acting as Servicing Agent shall, unless such Person shall notify the Borrower and the Banks otherwise, also act to relieve such Person and its affiliates of any obligation to issue new, or extend existing, Letters of Credit where such issuance or extension is to occur on or after the effective date of such resignation. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Servicing Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank to the extent that such obligation to issue Letters of Credit is not assumed by another Issuing Bank, (ii) the retiring Issuing Bank shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder except in relation to outstanding Letters of Credit issued by it and (iii) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or, if such substitution is not practicable, make such other arrangement satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit, provided that if the arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank include any “back-to-back” Letters of Credit issued in favor of the retiring Issuing Bank, then any fees payable by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.09(b)(ii) with respect to the “back-to-back” Letters of Credit shall be for the account of the retiring Issuing Bank, and the amount of such “back-to-back” Letters of Credit shall not be taken into account in calculating Letter of Credit Liabilities or fees payable by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.09(b)(i).

Section 7.07 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Banks. (a) Each Bank confirms to each Agent, each other Bank and each of their respective Related Parties that it (i) possesses (individually or through its Related Parties) such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable, without reliance on any Agent, any other Bank or any of their respective Related Parties, of evaluating the merits and risks (including tax, legal, regulatory, credit, accounting and other financial matters) of (x) entering into this Agreement, (y) making Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and (z) in taking or not taking actions hereunder and thereunder, (ii) is financially able to bear such risks and (iii) has determined that entering into this Agreement and making Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder is suitable and appropriate for it.

(i) the financial condition, status and capitalization of the Borrower;

(ii) the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of this Agreement and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with this Agreement;

(iii) determining compliance or non-compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit and the form and substance of all evidence delivered in connection with establishing the satisfaction of each such condition;

(iv) the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any information delivered by any Agent, any other Bank or by any of their respective Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with this Agreement.

Section 7.08 No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Persons acting as Bookrunners or Arrangers listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement, except in its capacity, as applicable, as an Agent or as a Bank hereunder.

ARTICLE 8
Change In Circumstances

Section 8.01 Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Euro-Dollar Loan or Competitive Bid LIBOR Loan:

(a) the Servicing Agent is advised by the Required Banks that deposits in dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to the Required Banks in the relevant market for such Interest Period, or

(b) in the case of a Euro-Dollar Loan, Banks having 50% or more of the aggregate amount of the Commitments advise the Servicing Agent that the London Interbank Offered Rate, as determined by the Servicing Agent, will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of funding their Euro-Dollar Loans for such Interest Period, the Servicing Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks, whereupon until the Servicing Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Banks to make Euro-Dollar Loans, or to continue to convert outstanding Loans as or into Euro-Dollar Loans shall be suspended and (ii) each outstanding Euro-Dollar Loan shall be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto. Unless the Borrower notifies the Servicing Agent on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period of any affected Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, (i) if such affected Borrowing is a Euro-Dollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing and (ii) if such affected Borrowing is a Competitive Bid LIBOR Borrowing, the Competitive Bid LIBOR Loans comprising such Borrowing shall bear interest for each day from and including the first day to but excluding the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto at the Base Rate for such day.

Section 8.02 Illegality. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Bank (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Euro-Dollar Loans and such Bank shall so notify the Servicing Agent, the Servicing Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks and the Borrower, whereupon until such Bank notifies the Borrower and the Servicing Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Bank to make Euro-Dollar Loans, or to convert outstanding Loans into Euro-Dollar Loans or continue outstanding Loans as Euro-Dollar Loans, shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Servicing Agent pursuant to this Section, such Bank shall designate a different Euro-Dollar Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. If such notice is given, each Euro-Dollar Loan of such Bank then outstanding shall be converted into a Base Rate Loan either (i) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Euro-Dollar Loan if such Bank may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan as a Euro-Dollar Loan to such day or (ii) immediately if such Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any such Loan as a Euro-Dollar Loan to such day. Interest and principal on any such Base Rate Loan shall be payable on the same dates as, and on a pro rata basis with, the interest and principal payable on the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks.

53

Section 8.03 Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If on or after (x) the date hereof, in the case of any Committed Euro-Dollar Loan or Letter of Credit or any obligation to make Committed Euro-Dollar Loans or issue or participate in Letters of Credit or (y) the date of the related Competitive Bid Quote, in the case of any Competitive Bid Loan, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, compulsory loan, special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board, but excluding with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan any such requirement with respect to which such Bank is entitled to compensation during the relevant Interest Period under Section 2.16) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose on any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting its Fixed Rate Loans or the Letters of Credit, its Note evidencing Fixed Rate Loans or its obligation to make Fixed Rate Loans or its obligations hereunder in respect to Letters of Credit and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making, continuing, converting to or maintaining any Fixed Rate Loan or Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then, within 30 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Servicing Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Bank pursuant to this Section 8.03(a) for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Bank notifies the Borrower and the Servicing Agent of the event described in this Section 8.03(a) that gives rise to such increased cost or reduction and of such Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor, and provided further that if the event giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(b) If any Bank shall have determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Bank (or its Parent) as a consequence of such Bank’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 30 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Servicing Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank (or its Parent) for such reduction; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Bank pursuant to this Section 8.03(b) for any reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Bank so notifies the Borrower and the Servicing Agent of the event described in this Section 8.03(b) that gives rise to such reduction and of such Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor, and provided further that if the event giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

54

---

(c) Each Bank will promptly notify the Borrower and the Servicing Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Any Bank’s claim for compensation under this Section 8.03 shall certify that the claim for additional amounts referred to therein is generally consistent with such Bank’s treatment of similarly situated customers of such Bank whose transactions with such Bank are similarly affected by the change in circumstances giving rise to such payment, but such Bank shall not be required to disclose any confidential or proprietary information therein.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 8.03 shall apply to all rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy or liquidity issued in connection with the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy or liquidity promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States financial regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented.

Section 8.04 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Bank or the Servicing Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made without deduction for any Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that, if the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes from any such payments, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) such Bank or the Servicing Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) the Borrower shall furnish to the Servicing Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify, without duplication, each Bank and the Servicing Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) paid by such Bank or the Servicing Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be paid within 15 days after such Bank or the Servicing Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor.

55

---

(c) (i) Each Bank organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Bank listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank in the case of each other Bank, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long as such Bank remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower and the Servicing Agent with original Internal Revenue Service form W-8ECI or W-8BEN, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Bank is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which exempts the Bank from United States withholding tax or reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest for the account of such Bank or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States.

(ii) If a payment made to a Bank hereunder would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Bank shall deliver to the Borrower and the Servicing Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Servicing Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Servicing Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Servicing Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Bank has complied with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (ii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement

(d) Each Bank organized under the laws of a jurisdiction within the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Bank listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank in the case of each other Bank, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long as such Bank remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower and the Servicing Agent with a duly executed and properly completed Internal Revenue Service form W-9, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service.

(e) For any period with respect to which a Bank has failed to provide the Borrower or the Servicing Agent with the appropriate form pursuant to Section 8.04(c) or 8.04(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which such form originally was required to be provided), such Bank shall not be entitled to indemnification or compensation under Section 8.04(a) or (b) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that if a Bank, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, becomes subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Bank shall reasonably request to assist such Bank to recover such Taxes.

56

---

(f) If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Bank pursuant to this Section, then such Bank will change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if, in the judgment of such Bank, such change (i) will eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue and (ii) is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

(g) If any Bank or the Servicing Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes (including by virtue of a credit against other Taxes or Other Taxes) as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 8.04, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Bank or the Servicing Agent and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Bank or the Servicing Agent, as applicable, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) to the Bank or the Servicing Agent in the event the Bank or the Servicing Agent is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (g), in no event will the Servicing Agent or any Bank be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this clause (g) the payment of which would place the Servicing Agent or such Bank in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Servicing Agent or such Bank would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Servicing Agent or any Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.

Section 8.05 Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Fixed Rate Loans. If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make, or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or to, Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.03 or 8.04 with respect to its Euro-Dollar Loans, and in any such case the Borrower shall, by at least three Business Days’ prior notice to such Bank through the Servicing Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Bank, then, unless and until such Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Bank as (or continued as or converted to) Euro-Dollar Loans shall instead be Base Rate Loans on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks. If such Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist, the principal amount of each such Base Rate Loan shall be converted into a Euro-Dollar Loan on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable to any related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks.

(i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Servicing Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 9.06(b)(iv);

(ii) such Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, its Letter of Credit Liabilities for drawn but unreimbursed amounts, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (including any amounts under Section 2.14) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 8.03 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 8.04, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and

(v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Bank meeting the conditions of clause (d) above, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE AGENT PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM.

Section 9.02 No Waivers. No failure or delay by any Agent or Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 9.03 Expenses, Indemnification. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agents, including reasonable fees and disbursements of one joint special counsel for the Agents, in connection with the preparation and administration of this Agreement, any waiver or consent hereunder or any amendment hereof or any Default or alleged Default hereunder and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each Agent and Bank, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, in connection with such Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Agent, Issuing Bank and Bank, their respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents, trustees, administrators, advisors, partners and employees of the foregoing (each an “Indemnitee”) and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, which may be incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) brought or threatened, relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any Note or any actual or proposed use of proceeds of Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder (including the refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit); provided that no Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for such Indemnitee’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct or material breach of this Agreement, in each case, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit, or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(c) Reimbursement by Banks. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to any Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any Issuing Bank or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Bank severally agrees to pay to such Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Bank or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Bank’s Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Bank’s share of the Total Outstanding Amount at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Bank); provided, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Issuing Bank in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for such Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Banks under this paragraph (c) are several and not joint.

Section 9.04 Sharing of Set-Offs. If any Bank shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Bank receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans, Letter of Credit Liabilities and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Bank receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Servicing Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans, Letter of Credit Liabilities and such other obligations of the other Banks, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Banks ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that:

61

---

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Bank), or (y) any payment obtained by a Bank as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or Letter of Credit Liabilities to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Bank acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 9.05 Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement or the Notes may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrower and by the Required Banks (and, if the rights or duties of any Agent or Issuing Bank are affected thereby, by it); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by each affected Bank, (i) increase or extend the Commitment of any Bank, (ii) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or Letter of Credit Liabilities or any fees hereunder (with any waiver of the default interest rate not to be considered a reduction of the interest rate) or (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or Letter of Credit Liabilities or any fees hereunder or for the termination of any Commitment or Letter of Credit; and provided further that, unless signed by all Banks, no such amendment or waiver shall change the percentage of the Credit Exposures, or the number of Banks, which shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any action under this Section or any other provision of this Agreement.

Section 9.06 Successors and Assigns. (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all Banks, and no Bank may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.06(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.06(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 9.06(e) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 9.06(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agents, the Servicing Agent and the Banks) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Banks. Any Bank may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Bank’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Bank or an affiliate of a Bank, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in Section 9.06(b)(i)(A), the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Bank subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Servicing Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Servicing Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 9.06(b)(i)(B) and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (y) such assignment is to a Bank or an affiliate of a Bank; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Servicing Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(B) the consent of each Administrative Agent and the Servicing Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments to a Person that is not a Bank with a Commitment under this Agreement or an affiliate of such Bank; and

63

---

(C) the consent of each Issuing Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Servicing Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Servicing Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Bank, shall deliver to the Servicing Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates or (B) to any Defaulting Bank or any of its subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Bank hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person.

(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Bank hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Servicing Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Servicing Agent, the applicable Percentage of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Bank, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Bank to the Servicing Agent, each Issuing Bank and each other Bank hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Bank hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Bank for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Servicing Agent pursuant to Section 9.06(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement, and the assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 8.03 and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Bank’s having been a Defaulting Bank. Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 9.06(d).

64

---

(c) Register. The Servicing Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Servicing Agent and the Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Bank may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, the Servicing Agent or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Bank’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Servicing Agent, the Issuing Banks and Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Bank shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 9.03(c) with respect to any payments made by such Bank to its Participant(s).

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Bank sells such a participation shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Bank will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to the first proviso to Section 9.05 that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 8.03 and 8.04 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Sections 8.04(c) and (d) (it being understood that the documentation required under Sections 8.04(c) and (d) shall be delivered to the participating Bank)) to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.06(b); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 8.03, 8.04 and 8.06 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 8.03 or 8.04, with respect to any participation, than its participating Bank would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Bank that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower's request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 8.06 with respect to any Participant. Each Bank that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations hereunder) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Bank shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Servicing Agent (in its capacity as Servicing Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

65

---

(e) Certain Pledges. Any Bank may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Bank, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Bank as a party hereto.

Section 9.07 Confidentiality. The Agents and each Bank agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its affiliates and to its and its affiliates’ respective managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its affiliates (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.07, to (i) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (iii) any rating agency, or (iv) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Agents, any Bank, the Issuing Bank or any of their respective affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Agents, any Bank or any Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower, provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

L. 107- 56 (signed into law October 26, 2001), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Bank to identify the Borrower in accordance with said USA Patriot Act.

Section 9.13 No Fiduciary Duty. Each Agent, each Bank and their affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Banks”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower.

Status		Level I		Level II		Level III		Level IV		Level V		Level VI
Applicable Margin for		0.690%		0.805%		0.910%		1.025%		1.100%		1.300%

For purposes of this Schedule, the following terms have the following meanings, subject to the concluding paragraphs of this Schedule:

“Level I Status” exists at any date if, at such date, the Borrower’s long-term debt is rated at least A+ by S&P or A1 by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇.

“Level II Status” exists at any date if, at such date, (i) the Borrower’s long-term debt is rated at least A by S&P or A2 by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ and (ii) Level I Status does not exist.

“Level III Status” exists at any date if, at such date, (i) the Borrower’s long-term debt is rated at least A- by S&P or A3 by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ and (ii) neither Level I Status nor Level II Status exists.

“Level IV Status” exists at any date if, at such date, (i) the Borrower’s long-term debt is rated at least BBB+ by S&P or Baa1 by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ and (ii) none of Level I Status, Level II Status or Level III Status exists.

“Level V Status” exists at any date if, at such date, (i) the Borrower’s long-term debt is rated at least BBB by S&P or Baa2 by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ and (ii) none of Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III Status or Level IV Status exists.

“Level VI Status” exists at any date if, at such date, no other Status exists.

“Status” refers to the determination of which of Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III Status, Level IV Status, Level V Status or Level VI Status exists at any date.

The credit ratings to be utilized for purposes of this Schedule are those assigned to the Debt under this Agreement or, if none, the senior unsecured long-term debt securities of the Borrower without third-party credit enhancement, and any rating assigned to any other debt security of the Borrower shall be disregarded. The rating in effect at any date is that in effect at the close of business on such date.

If the Borrower is split-rated by S&P and ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ and the ratings differential is one level, the higher of the two ratings will apply (e.g., A-/Baa1 results in Level III Status). If the Borrower is split-rated and the ratings differential is more than one level, the rating that is one level below the higher rating will apply (e.g., A-/Baa2 results in Level IV Status).
