Section 2.1. Making of Bid Loans. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each Bank, severally and for itself alone, may (but is not obligated to) make Bid Loans to the Company from time to time on or after the date hereof and prior to the date which is the fourteenth day preceding such Bank’s Termination Date in amounts equal to such Bank’s Bids that have been accepted as provided in Section 2.2(c); provided, that the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans shall not at any time exceed the then Aggregate Commitment.

Section 2.2. Procedure for Bid Loans.

(a) Bid Loan Request. Whenever the Company desires to incur a competitive bid borrowing (a “Bid Borrowing”), it shall give the Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing), such notice to be delivered to the Agent at its Notice Office no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, at least three Business Days prior to any proposed LIBOR Rate Loan and at least one Business Day prior to any proposed Absolute Rate Loan. Each such notice shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (each a “Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing”), and shall specify in each case (i) the date of such proposed Bid Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the aggregate amount of the proposed Bid Borrowing, (iii) whether the proposed Bid Borrowing is to be an Absolute Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan and the Loan Period, (iv) the maturity date for repayment of each Bid Loan to be made as part of such borrowing (which maturity date shall not be earlier than one month after the date of any proposed LIBOR Rate Loan or 14 days after the date of any proposed Absolute Rate Loan nor later than the earliest to occur of (x) six months after the date of such proposed Bid Loan, (y) the Termination Date and (z) if the proposed Bid Loan has an interest rate that is the LIBOR Rate, the last day of the proposed Loan Period), (v) the interest payment date or dates relating thereto, (vi) the account to which the proceeds of such Bid Borrowing are to be credited and (vii) any other terms to be applicable to such Bid Borrowing. The Agent shall promptly give each Bank written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each such request for a Bid Borrowing received by it from the Company. Each Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing shall contemplate Bid Loans in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000, not to exceed, however, the excess of the then Aggregate Commitment over the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans, calculated as of the relevant Funding Date, assuming that the Company will pay, when due, all Loans maturing on or prior to such Funding Date (the “Available Commitment”).

(b) Bidding Procedure. Each Bank shall, if in its sole discretion it elects to do so, irrevocably offer to make one or more Bid Loans to the Company as part of such proposed Bid Borrowing at a rate or rates of interest specified by such Bank in its sole discretion and determined by such Bank independently of each other Bank, by notifying by telephone confirmed in writing to the Agent at its Notice Office (which shall give prompt notice thereof to the Company), before 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date (the “Submission Deadline”) that is (x) in the case of a proposed Absolute Rate Loan, the same day as the date of such proposed Bid Loan and (y) in the case of a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan, two Business Days

(i) cancel such proposed Bid Borrowing by giving the Agent notice to that effect, or

(ii) accept (such acceptance to be irrevocable) one or more of the offers made by any Bank or Banks pursuant to clause (b) above by giving notice (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Agent of the amount of each Bid Loan (which amount shall be equal to or greater than the minimum amount, and equal to or less than the maximum amount, notified to the Company by the Agent on behalf of such Bank for such Bid Borrowing pursuant to clause (b) above) to be made by such Bank as part of such Bid Borrowing, and reject any remaining offers made by any Bank pursuant to clause (b) above by giving the Agent notice to that effect; provided, that for any maturity date acceptance of offers may only be made on the basis of ascending Absolute Rates (in the case of an Absolute Rate Loan) or floating rates (in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan), in each case commencing with the lowest rate so offered and only as to offers made in conformity with the terms hereof; provided, further, however, if offers are made by two or more Banks at the same rate or rates and acceptance of all such equal offers would result in a greater principal amount of Bid Loans being accepted than the aggregate principal amount requested by the Company, the Company shall have the right to accept one or more of such equal offers in their entirety and reject the other equal offer or offers or to allocate acceptance among all such equal offers (but giving effect to the minimum and maximum amounts specified for each such offer pursuant to clause (b) above), as the Company may elect in its sole discretion. The Company may not accept offers whose aggregate principal amount is greater than the requested aggregate amount as specified in the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing subject to the proviso in Section 2.1.

(d) Cancellation of Bid Borrowing. If the Company notifies the Agent that such proposed Bid Borrowing is cancelled pursuant to clause (c)(i) above, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Banks and such Bid Borrowing shall not be made.

(e) Notification of Acceptance and Repayment. If the Company accepts one or more of the offers made by any Bank or Banks pursuant to clause (c)(ii) above, the Agent shall in turn promptly notify (x) each Bank that has made an offer as described in clause (b) above, of the date and aggregate amount of such Bid Borrowing and whether or not any offer or offers made by such Bank pursuant to clause (b) above have been accepted by the Company and (y)

(i) Not later than 1:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Funding Date of a Committed Loan, each Bank shall, subject to this Section 3.2(c), provide the Agent at its Notice Office with immediately available funds covering such Bank’s Committed Loan (provided, that a Bank’s obligation to provide funds to the Agent shall be deemed satisfied by such Bank’s delivery to the Agent at its Notice Office not later than 1:30 p.m., New York City time, of a Federal reserve wire confirmation number covering the proceeds of such Bank’s Committed Loan) and the Agent shall pay over such funds to the Company not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day if the Agent shall have received the documents required under Section 10 with respect to such Loan and the other conditions precedent to the making of such Loan shall have been satisfied not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such day.

Unless the Agent shall have notified the Banks prior to 10:30

If any Bank is to make a Committed Loan hereunder on a day on which the Company is to repay (or has elected to prepay, pursuant to Section 5.2) all or any part of any outstanding Loan held by such Bank, the proceeds of such new Committed Loan shall be applied to make such repayment and only an amount equal to the positive difference, if any, between the amount being borrowed and the amount being repaid shall be requested by the Agent to be made available by such Bank to the Agent as provided in Section 3.2(c).

Section 3.3. Maturity of Committed Loans. Except for a Base Rate Loan, which shall mature on the Termination Date, a Committed Loan made by a Bank shall mature on the last day of the Loan Period applicable to such Committed Loan, but in no event later than the Termination Date for such Bank.

Section 4.2. Interest Payment Dates. Except for Base Rate Loans, as to which accrued interest shall be payable on the last day of each calendar quarter and on the Termination Date, accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on the last day of the Loan Period therefor and (i) with respect to each LIBOR Rate Loan with a Loan Period of six months, on the day that is three months after the first day of such Loan Period (or, if there is no day in such third month numerically corresponding to such first day of the Loan Period, on the last Business Day of such month) and (ii) with respect to each Absolute Rate Loan with a Loan Period exceeding 90 days, on the day that is 90 days after the first day of such Loan Period.

Section 4.3. Setting and Notice of Committed Loan Rates.

If as to any Loan Period the Telerate Page is not available and any one or more of the Reference Banks is unable or for any reason fails to notify the Agent of its applicable rate by 11:30 a.m., New York City time, two Business Days before the Funding Date, then the applicable LIBOR Rate shall be determined on the basis of the rate or rates of which the Agent is given notice by the remaining Reference Bank or Banks by such time. If the Telerate Page is not available and none of the Reference Banks notifies the Agent of the applicable rate prior to 11:30 a.m., New York City time, two Business Days before the Funding Date, then (i) the Agent shall promptly notify the other parties thereof and (ii) at the option of the Company the Committed Loan Request delivered by the Company pursuant to Section 3.2(a) with respect to such Funding Date shall be cancelled or shall be deemed to have specified a Base Rate Loan.

(c) The Agent shall, upon written request of the Company or any Bank, deliver to the Company or such Bank a statement showing the computations used by the Agent in determining the interest rate applicable to any LIBOR Rate Loan.

Section 4.4. Facility Fee.

Such fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year (beginning with the last Business Day of December, 2006) until the Commitments have expired or have been terminated and on the date of such expiration or termination (and, in the case of any Terminating Bank, such Bank’s Termination Date), in each case for the period then ending for which such facility fee has not previously been paid.

Section 4.5. Utilization Fee. The Company agrees to pay to the Agent for the accounts of the Banks pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentages, during any period that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans exceeds 33.33% of the Aggregate Commitment, a utilization fee computed by multiplying the average daily amount of the

-▇▇-

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ by the applicable percentage determined with respect to such utilization fee in accordance with Schedule II hereto; provided, that if the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of Bid Loans exceeds an amount equal to 33.33% of the Aggregate Commitments as then in effect, then in calculating the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans for purposes of this Section 4.5 only, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans shall not include an amount equal to 33.33% of the Aggregate Commitments as then in effect. Accrued utilization fees shall be due and payable on each date that interest is payable on each such Loan.

Section 4.6. Agent’s Fees. The Company agrees promptly to pay to the Agent such fees as may be agreed from time to time by the Company and the Agent.

Section 4.7. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans, and facility and utilization fees shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year; and interest on Base Rate Loans shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 365/366 day year, as the case may be. The interest rate applicable to each LIBOR Rate Loan and Base Rate Loan, and (to the extent applicable) after the maturity of any other type of Loan, the interest rate applicable to such Loan, shall change simultaneously with each change in the LIBOR Rate or the Base Rate, as applicable.

SECTION 5. REDUCTION OR TERMINATION OF THE COMMITMENTS; REPAYMENT; PREPAYMENTS.

Section 5.1. Voluntary Termination or Reduction of the Commitments. The Company may at any time on at least 5 days’ prior irrevocable notice received by the Agent (which shall promptly on the same day or on the next Business Day advise each Bank thereof) permanently reduce the amount of the Commitments (such reduction to be pro rata among the Banks according to their respective Percentages) to an amount not less than the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans. Any such reduction shall be in the amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Concurrently with any such reduction, the Company shall prepay the principal of any Committed Loans outstanding to the extent that the aggregate amount of such Loans outstanding shall then exceed the Aggregate Commitment, as so reduced. The Company may from time to time on like irrevocable notice terminate the Commitments upon payment in full of all Loans, all interest accrued thereon, all fees and all other obligations of the Company hereunder; provided, however, that the Company may not at any time terminate the Commitments if any Bid Loan is outstanding (unless the holder of each such outstanding Bid Loan has given its prior written consent to the concurrent repayment of such Bid Loan).

Moreover, if any Covered Taxes are directly asserted against the Agent, any Bank, any Assignee or any Participant, such payee may pay such Covered Taxes, and, upon receipt of an official receipt or other satisfactory documentation evidencing such payment, the Company shall promptly pay such additional amount (including, without limitation, any penalties, interest or reasonable expenses) as may be necessary in order that the net amount received by such payee after the payment of such Covered Taxes (including any Covered Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such payee would have received had no such Covered Taxes been asserted (provided, that the Agent, the Banks, and any Assignee or Participant shall use reasonable efforts, to the extent consistent with applicable laws and regulations, to minimize to the extent possible any such Covered Taxes if they can do so without material cost or legal or regulatory disadvantage). For purposes of this Section 6.4, a distribution hereunder by the Agent or any Bank to or for the account of any Bank, Assignee or Participant shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company. The Company’s agreement under this Section 6.4 shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes or any termination of this Agreement.

(b) In consideration of, and as a condition to, the Company’s undertakings in Section 6.4(a), each Bank other than a Bank that is organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof (a “Non-U.S. Bank”) agrees to execute and deliver to the Agent at its Payment Office for delivery to the Company, before the first scheduled payment date in each year, (i) to the extent it acts for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Non-U.S. Bank under this Agreement, two original copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Forms ▇-▇▇▇▇, ▇-▇▇▇▇ or W-8EXP (or any successor forms), as appropriate, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Bank, and claiming complete exemption from withholding and deduction of United States Federal Taxes, and (ii) to the extent it does not act or has ceased to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Bank under this Agreement (for example, in the case of a typical Participation by such Non-U.S. Bank), (1) for the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such Non-U.S. Bank acts for its own account, two original copies of the forms or statements required to be provided by such Non-U.S. Bank under subsection (i) of this Section 6.4(b), properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Bank and claiming complete exemption from withholding and deduction of United States Federal Taxes, and (2) for the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such Non-U.S. Bank does not act or has ceased to act for its own account, two original copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Bank, together with any information, if any, such Non-U.S. Bank chooses to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Internal Revenue Code or the regulations issued thereunder. Each Bank hereby (i) represents and warrants to the Company that, at the date of this Agreement, or at the time such

Credit Agreement

-22-

Bank becomes a Bank hereunder, it is entitled to receive payments of principal and interest hereunder without deduction for or on account of any Taxes imposed by the United States of America or any political subdivision thereof, and (ii) acknowledges that in the event that after the date of this Agreement or after the date that a Bank becomes a Bank hereunder, such Bank is no longer entitled to receive payments or principal and interest hereunder without deduction for or on account of any Taxes imposed by the United States of America or any political subdivision thereof, such Bank will be subject to removal pursuant to Section 13.8 hereof.

(c) Each Non-U.S. Bank hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Non-U.S. Bank of any forms or other information pursuant to Section 6.4(b), whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence so delivered obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Non-U.S. Bank shall promptly (and in all events, prior to the next applicable payment date), deliver to the Agent at the Payment Office for delivery to the Company two original copies of any renewal, amendment or additional or successor forms, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Bank, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required by applicable law or regulation in order to (i) confirm or establish such Non-U.S. Bank’s complete exemption from withholding and deduction of United States Federal Taxes with respect to payments to such Bank under this Agreement or (ii) in the case of a change in law after the date on which such Non-U.S. Bank became a Bank hereunder that results in a withholding or deduction of United States Federal Taxes on payments hereunder to such Non-U.S. Bank, establish the status of such Non-U.S. Bank as other than a United States person for United States Federal tax purposes and, to the extent entitled under an applicable treaty or other law, claim the benefit of a reduced rate of withholding and deduction of United States Federal Taxes with respect to any such payments under an applicable tax treaty of the United States, or (iii) if applicable, confirm or establish that such Non-U.S. Bank does not act for its own account with respect to any portion of any such payments.

(d) If the Company determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting a Covered Tax with respect to which the Company has paid an additional amount under this Section 6.4, the Agent and the Banks, as applicable, shall, subject to Section 6.4(f), cooperate with the Company in challenging such Covered Tax at the Company’s expense if requested by the Company (it being understood and agreed that neither the Agent nor any Bank shall have any obligation to contest, or any responsibility for contesting, any Tax). If the Agent or a Bank has actual knowledge that it is entitled to receive a refund (whether by way of a direct payment or by clearly identifiable offset to an amount otherwise owed to the relevant taxing authority) in respect of a Covered Tax with respect to which the Company has paid an additional amount under this Section 6.4, it shall promptly notify the Company of the availability of such refund (unless it was made aware of such refund by the Company) and shall, within 30 days after the receipt of a request from the Company, apply for such refund at the Company’s expense. If the Agent or any Bank receives a refund (whether by way of a direct payment or by clearly identifiable offset to an amount otherwise owed to the relevant taxing authority) of any Covered Tax with respect to which the Company has paid an additional amount under this Section 6.4 which, in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, is allocable to such payment made under this Section 6.4, the amount of such refund (together with any interest received thereon) shall be paid to the Company, but only to the extent of the

Credit Agreement

-23-

additional amounts received from the Company, provided that, in the case of a Covered Tax the Company was required to deduct and withhold under this Section 6.4, the Company deducted and withheld such Covered Tax in full as and when required pursuant to this Section 6.4, provided further, that if such refund subsequently becomes unavailable or must be returned, this will be treated as a Covered Tax indemnifiable under this Section 6.4.

(e) Each Bank that is organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof (a “U.S. Bank”) agrees to execute and deliver to the Agent at the Payment Office for delivery to the Company, on or before the date of this Agreement or on or before the date such Bank becomes a Bank hereunder and on or before the date on which such Bank ceases to act for its own account with respect to the applicable portion of any sums paid or payable to such U.S. Bank and before the first scheduled payment date in each subsequent year a copy of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms) properly completed and duly executed by such U.S. Bank, and claiming that it is organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof.

(f) Nothing contained in this Section 6.4 shall require any Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Company or any other Person.

(g) Each Bank shall promptly notify the Company and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to receipt of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 6.4 and will designate a different Funding Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such amounts and will not, in such Bank’s sole discretion, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

SECTION 7. INCREASED COSTS AND SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR ABSOLUTE RATE LOANS AND LIBOR RATE LOANS.

Section 7.1. Increased Costs. (a) If after the date hereof, 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 any Funding Office of such Bank) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency,

(A) shall subject any Bank (or any Funding Office of such Bank) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its LIBOR Rate Loans, its Notes or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Loans, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Bank (or any Funding Office of such Bank) of the principal of or interest on its LIBOR Rate Loans or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of its LIBOR Rate Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Loans (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Bank or its Funding Office imposed by any Governmental Authority of the country in which such Bank is incorporated or in which such Bank’s Funding Office is located);

Credit Agreement

-24-

(B) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any reserve included in the determination of additional interest pursuant to Section 4.1), special deposit, assessment (including any assessment for insurance of deposits) or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or any Funding Office of such Bank); or

(C) shall impose on any Bank (or any Funding Office of such Bank) any other condition affecting its LIBOR Rate Loans, its Notes or its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to (or to impose an additional cost on) such Bank (or any Funding Office of such Bank) of making or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or such Bank’s Funding Office) under this Agreement or under its Notes with respect thereto, then within 10 days after demand by such Bank (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis of such demand), the Company shall pay directly to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or such reduction (without duplication of any amounts which have been paid or reimbursed).

(b) If, after the date hereof, any Bank shall determine that the adoption, effectiveness or phase-in of any applicable law, rule, guideline or regulation regarding capital adequacy, 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 any Funding Office of such Bank or any Person controlling such Bank) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (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 the capital of such Bank or any Person controlling such Bank as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Bank’s or such controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, from time to time, within 10 days after demand by such Bank (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis of such demand), the Company shall pay directly to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or such controlling Person for such reduction.

(c) Each Bank shall promptly notify the Company and the 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 7.1 and will designate a different Funding Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in such Bank’s sole judgment, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

Section 7.2. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If with respect to the Loan Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan:

Credit Agreement

-25-

(a) the Telerate Page is not available and the Agent is advised by two or more Reference Banks that deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to such Reference Banks in the relevant market for such Loan Period, or the Agent otherwise determines (which determination shall be binding and conclusive on all parties) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the LIBOR market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBOR Rate; or

(b) the Required Banks advise the Agent that the LIBOR Rate as determined by the Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Required Banks of maintaining or funding LIBOR Rate Loans for such Loan Period, or that the making or funding of LIBOR Rate Loans has become impracticable as a result of an event occurring after the date of this Agreement which in such Required Banks’ opinion materially affects LIBOR Rate Loans,

then (i) the Agent shall promptly notify the other parties thereof and (ii) so long as such circumstances shall continue, no Bank shall be under any obligation to make any LIBOR Rate Loan.

Section 7.3. Changes in Law Rendering Certain Loans Unlawful. In the event that any change in (including the adoption of any new) applicable laws or regulations, or in the interpretation of applicable laws or regulations by any Governmental Authority or other regulatory body charged with the administration thereof, should make it (or in the good faith judgment of such Bank raise a substantial question as to whether it is) unlawful for a Bank to make, maintain or fund any LIBOR Rate Loan, then (a) such Bank shall promptly notify each of the other parties hereto, (b) upon the effectiveness of such event and so long as such unlawfulness shall continue, the obligation of such Bank to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended and any request by the Company for LIBOR Rate Loans shall, as to such Bank, be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan, if said LIBOR Rate Loan is a Committed Loan, or an Absolute Rate Loan, if said LIBOR Rate Loan is a Bid Loan and (c) on the last day of the current Loan Period for such Bank’s LIBOR Rate Loans (or, in any event, if such Bank so requests on such earlier date as may be required by the relevant law, regulation or interpretation) such Bank’s Loans which are LIBOR Rate Loans shall cease to be maintained as LIBOR Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the Base Rate, if said LIBOR Rate Loan is a Committed Loan, or at an Absolute Rate, which Absolute Rate shall be the LIBOR Rate in effect during such Loan Period, if said LIBOR Rate Loan is a Bid Loan. If at any time the event giving rise to such unlawfulness shall no longer exist, then such Bank shall promptly notify the Company and the Agent.

Section 7.4. Funding Losses. The Company hereby agrees that upon demand by any Bank (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for the calculations of the amount being claimed) the Company will indemnify such Bank against any net loss or expense which such Bank may sustain or incur (including, without limitation, any net loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Bank to fund or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan or Absolute Rate Loan), as reasonably determined by such Bank, as a result of (a) any payment or mandatory or voluntary prepayment (including, without limitation, any payment pursuant to Section 7.3 or any payment

Credit Agreement

-26-

resulting from acceleration) of any LIBOR Rate Loan or Absolute Rate Loan of such Bank on a date other than the last day of the Loan Period for such Loan or (b) any failure of the Company to borrow any Loans on the originally scheduled Funding Date specified therefor pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any failure to borrow resulting from any failure to satisfy the conditions precedent to such borrowing). For this purpose, all notices to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, all acceptances of Bids) shall be deemed to be irrevocable.

Section 7.5. Discretion of Banks as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary (but subject to Section 7.1(c)), each Bank shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made as if such Bank had actually funded and maintained each LIBOR Rate Loan or Absolute Rate Loan during the Loan Period for such Loan through the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to such Loan Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the rate borne by such Loan for such Loan Period.

Section 7.6. Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival of Provisions. Determinations and statements of any Bank pursuant to this Section 7 shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error, and each Bank may use reasonable averaging and attribution methods in determining compensation pursuant to Section 7.1 or 7.4. The provisions of this Section 7 shall survive termination of this Agreement and payment of the Loans.

SECTION 8. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

Credit Agreement

-39-

take such other action as may be reasonably incidental thereto. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.3, the Agent will take such action permitted by any agreement delivered in connection with this Agreement as may be requested in writing by the Required Banks or if required under Section 13.1, all of the Banks. The Agent shall promptly remit in immediately available funds to each Bank or other holder its share of all payments received by the Agent for the account of such Bank or holder, and shall promptly transmit to each Bank (or share with each Bank the contents of) each notice it receives from the Company pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 12.2. Indemnification. The Banks agree to indemnify the Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company), ratably according to their respective Percentages (determined at the time such indemnity is sought), from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the repayment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that no Bank shall be liable for the payment to the Agent of any portion of such actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses resulting from the Agent’s or its employees’ or agents’ gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Section 13.5 each Bank agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share (determined at the time such reimbursement is sought) of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Agent in such capacity in connection with the preparation, execution or enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any amendments or supplements hereto or thereto to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Company. All obligations provided for in this Section 12.2 shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes or any termination of this Agreement.

Section 12.3. Action on Instructions of the Required Banks. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Loans), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but the Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon the written instructions from (i) the Required Banks, except for instructions which under the express provisions hereof must be received by the Agent from all Banks and (ii) in the case of such instructions, from all Banks. In no event will the Agent be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. The relationship between the Agent and the Banks is and shall be that of agent and principal only and nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute the Agent a trustee for any holder of a Loan or of a participation therein nor to impose on the Agent duties and obligations other than those expressly provided for herein.

Section 12.4. Payments. (a) The Agent shall be entitled to assume that each Bank has made its Loan available in accordance with Section 2.3 or Section 3.2(c), as applicable, unless such Bank notifies the Agent at its Notice Office prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Funding Date for such Loan that it does not intend to make such Loan available, it being understood that no such notice shall relieve such Bank of any of its obligations under this

Credit Agreement

-40-

Agreement. If the Agent makes any payment to the Company on the assumption that a Bank has made the proceeds of such Loan available to the Agent but such Bank has not in fact made the proceeds of such Loan available to the Agent, such Bank shall pay to the Agent on demand an amount equal to the amount of such Bank’s Loan, together with interest thereon for each day that elapses from and including such Funding Date to but excluding the Business Day on which the proceeds of such Bank’s Loan become immediately available to the Agent at its Payment Office prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, at the Federal Funds Rate for each such day, based upon a year of 360 days. A certificate of the Agent submitted to any Bank with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 12.4(a) shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. If the proceeds of such Bank’s Loan are not made available to the Agent at its Payment Office by such Bank within three Business Days of such Funding Date, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount upon two Business Days’ demand from the Company, together with interest thereon for each day that elapses from and including such Funding Date to but excluding the Business Day on which such proceeds become immediately available to the Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, (i) in the case of a Bid Loan, at the rate per annum applicable thereto and (ii) in the case of a Committed Loan, at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder, in either case based upon a year of 360 days. Nothing in this paragraph (a) shall relieve any Bank of any obligation it may have hereunder to make any Loan or prejudice any rights which the Company may have against any Bank as a result of any default by such Bank hereunder.

(b) The Agent shall be entitled to assume that the Company has made all payments due hereunder from the Company on the due date thereof unless it receives notification prior to any such due date from the Company that the Company does not intend to make any such payment, it being understood that no such notice shall relieve the Company of any of its obligations under this Agreement. If the Agent distributes any payment to a Bank hereunder in the belief that the Company has paid to the Agent the amount thereof but the Company has not in fact paid to the Agent such amount, such Bank shall pay to the Agent on demand (which shall be made by facsimile or personal delivery) an amount equal to the amount of the payment made by the Agent to such Bank, together with interest thereon for each day that elapses from and including the date on which the Agent made such payment to but excluding the Business Day on which the amount of such payment is returned to the Agent at its Payment Office in immediately available funds prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, at the Federal Funds Rate for each such day, based upon a year of 360 days. If the amount of such payment is not returned to the Agent in immediately available funds within three Business Days after demand by the Agent, such Bank shall pay to the Agent on demand an amount calculated in the manner specified in the preceding sentence after substituting the term “Base Rate” for the term “Federal Funds Rate”. A certificate of the Agent submitted to any Bank with respect to amounts owing under this Section 12.4(b) shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

Section 12.5. Exculpation. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon advice of counsel concerning legal matters, and upon this Agreement and any Note, security agreement, schedule, certificate, statement, report, notice or other writing which it believes to be genuine or to have been presented by a proper person. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall (i) be responsible for any recitals, representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of, this

Credit Agreement

-41-

Agreement, any Note or any other instrument or document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (ii) be deemed to have knowledge of an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default until after having received actual notice thereof from the Company or a Bank, (iii) be under any duty to inquire into or pass upon any of the foregoing matters, or to make any inquiry concerning the performance by the Company or any other obligor of its obligations or (iv) in any event, be liable as such for any action taken or omitted by it or them, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, the Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 12.6. Credit Investigation. Each Bank acknowledges, and shall cause each Assignee or Participant to acknowledge in its assignment or participation agreement with such Bank, that it has (i) made and will continue to make such inquiries and has taken and will take such care on its own behalf as would have been the case had the Loans been made directly by such Bank or other applicable Person to the Company without the intervention of the Agent or any other Bank and (ii) independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made and will continue to make its own credit analysis and decisions relating to this Agreement. Each Bank agrees and acknowledges, and shall cause each Assignee or Participant to agree and acknowledge in its assignment or participation agreement with such Bank, that the Agent makes no representations or warranties about the creditworthiness of the Company or any other party to this Agreement or with respect to the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of this Agreement or any Note.

Section 12.7. CUSA and Affiliates. CUSA and each of its successors as Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Bank and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Agent, and CUSA and any such successor and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage, and continue to engage, in any kind of business with the Company or any Affiliate thereof as if CUSA or such successor were not the Agent hereunder.

Section 12.8. Resignation. The Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Company and the Banks. In the event of any such resignation, Banks having an aggregate Percentage of more than 50% shall as promptly as practicable appoint a successor Agent from among the Banks reasonably acceptable to the Company (no such acceptance being required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Agent from among the Banks reasonably acceptable to the Company (no such acceptance being required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof or under the laws of another country which is doing business in the United States of America and having a combined capital, surplus and undivided profits of at least $1,000,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be

-42-

discharged from all further duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 12 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

Section 12.9. The Register; the Notes.

(a) The Agent, acting on behalf of the Company, shall maintain a register for the inscription of the names and addresses of Banks and the Commitments and Loans of each Bank from time to time (the “Register”). The Company, the Banks, and the Agent may treat each Person whose name is inscribed in the Register as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, the Agent, or any Bank at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(b) The Agent shall inscribe in the Register the Commitments and the Bid Loans and Committed Loans from time to time of each Bank, the amount of each Bank’s participation in outstanding Bid Loans and Committed Loans and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Bid Loans and Committed Loans of each Bank, the principal amount owing from time to time by the Company in respect of each Bid Loan and each Committed Loan to each Bank of such Loans and the dates on which the Loan Period for each such Loan shall begin and end. Any such inscription shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and each Bank, absent manifest or demonstrable error; provided that failure to make any such inscription, or any error in such inscription, shall not affect any of the Company’s obligations in respect of the applicable Loans. The inscription in the Register of the principal amount owing from time to time by the Company in respect of each Loan shall constitute an unconditional and irrevocable covenant by the Company in favor of the Person whose name is so inscribed as the Bank in respect of such Loan that the Company will make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Loan in accordance with this Agreement, make all other payments required by this Agreement to be made by it in respect of such Loan and otherwise perform all of its obligations under this Agreement in full and by the due date.

(c) Each Bank shall record on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof; provided that in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Bank’s records, the inscriptions in the Register shall govern, absent manifest or demonstrable error.

(d) If so requested by any Bank by written notice to the Company (with a copy to Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date or at any time thereafter, the Company shall execute and deliver to such Bank (and/or, if so specified in such notice, any Person who is an assignee of such Bank pursuant to Section 13.4.1 hereof) promptly after receipt of such notice, a Bid Note or Committed Note, as applicable, substantially in the form of Exhibit D or Exhibit E hereto, respectively.

SECTION 13. GENERAL.

Section 13.1. Waiver; Amendments. No delay on the part of the Agent, any Bank, or the holder of any Loan in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or

Section 13.2. Notices.

(a) Subject to paragraphs (b) through (f) of this Section, all notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be either (x) in writing (including by telecopy, encrypted or unencrypted) or (y) as and to the extent set forth in Section 13.2(b) and in the proviso to this Section 13.2(a) and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered or, in the case of telecopy or e-mail notice, when received, addressed to the Company, the Agent or such Bank (or other holder) at its address shown across from its name on Schedule III hereto or at such other address as it may, by written notice received by the other parties to this Agreement, have designated as its address for such purpose; provided, that notices hereunder shall not be given or made to the Company by e-mail; provided, further, that any notice, request or demand to or upon the Agent or the Banks pursuant to Sections 2.2(a), 3.2(a) or 5.2 shall not be effective until received.

(b) The Company hereby agrees that, unless otherwise requested by the Agent, it will provide to the Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) relates to a request for a new, or a

conversion of an existing, borrowing or other extension of credit (including any election of an interest rate or interest period relating thereto), (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii) provides notice of any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default under this Agreement, (iv) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder or (v) initiates or responds to legal process (all such non-excluded information being referred to herein collectively as the “Communications”) by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium (with such Communications to contain any required signatures) in a format acceptable to the Agent to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ (or such other e-mail address designated by the Agent from time to time); provided that if requested in writing by any Bank, the Company will provide to such Bank a hard copy of its financial statements required to be provided hereunder.

(c) Each party hereto agrees that the Agent may make the Communications available to the Banks by posting the Communications on IntraLinks or another relevant website, if any, to which each Bank and the Agent have access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Agent) (the “Platform”). Nothing in this Section 13.2 shall prejudice the right of the Agent to make the Communications available to the Banks in any other manner specified in this Agreement.

(d) The Company hereby acknowledges that certain of the Banks may be “public-side” Banks (i.e., Banks that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Company or its securities) (each, a “Public Bank”). The Borrower hereby agrees that (i) Communications that are to be made available on the Platform to Public Banks shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (ii) by marking Communications “PUBLIC,” the Company shall be deemed to have authorized the Agent and the Banks to treat such Communications as either publicly available information or not material information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Company or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws, (iii) all Communications marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Bank,” and (iv) the Agent shall be entitled to treat any Communications that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Bank.”

(e) Each Bank agrees that e-mail notice to it (at the address provided pursuant to the next sentence and deemed delivered as provided in the next paragraph) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such Communications to such Bank for purposes of this Agreement. Each Bank agrees (i) to notify the Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time to ensure that the Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Bank to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

(f) Each party hereto acknowledges that (i) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available,” (iii)

Credit Agreement

-45-

none of the Agent, its affiliates nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives (collectively, the “Citigroup Parties”) warrants the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of the Communications or the Platform, and each Citigroup Party expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in any Communications or the Platform, and (iv) 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 any Citigroup Party in connection with any Communications or the Platform.

Section 13.3. Computations. Where the character or amount of any asset or liability or item of income or expense is required to be determined, or any consolidation or other accounting computation is required to be made, for the purpose of this Agreement, such determination or calculation shall, at any time and to the extent applicable and except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, be made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applied on a basis consistent with those in effect as at the date of the Company’s audited financial statements referred to in Section 8.4. If there should be any material change in generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America after the date hereof which materially affects the financial covenants in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree to negotiate in good faith appropriate revisions of such covenants (it being understood, however, that such covenants shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their existing terms pending the execution by the Company and the Required Banks of any such amendment).

Section 13.4. Assignments; Participations. Each Bank may assign, or sell participations in, its Loans and its Commitment to one or more other Persons in accordance with this Section 13.4 (and the Company consents to the disclosure of any information obtained by any Bank in connection herewith to any actual or prospective Assignee or Participant).

Section 13.4.1. Assignments. Any Bank may with the written consents of the Company and the Agent (which consents will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) at any time assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees (any Person to whom an assignment and delegation is made being herein called an “Assignee”) all or any fraction of such Bank’s Loans and Commitment (which assignment and delegation shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of such assigning Bank’s Loans and Commitment); each such assignment of a Bank’s Commitment shall be in the minimum amount of $10,000,000 or in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided, that any such Assignee will comply, if applicable, with the provisions contained in the first sentence of Section 6.4(b) and in Section 6.4(c), Section 6.4(d), Section 6.4(e) and Section 6.4(g) and shall be deemed to have made, on the date of the effectiveness of such assignment and delegation, the representation and warranty set forth in the second sentence of Section 6.4(b); and provided, further, that the Company and the Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such assigning Bank in connection with the interests so assigned and delegated to an Assignee until such assigning Bank and/or such Assignee shall have:

Credit Agreement

-46-

(i) given written notice of such assignment and delegation, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to such Assignee, substantially in the form of Exhibit I, to the Company and the Agent;

(ii) provided evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Agent that, as of the date of such assignment and delegation, the Company will not be required to pay any costs, fees, taxes or other amounts of any kind or nature with respect to the interest assigned in excess of those payable by the Company with respect to such interest prior to such assignment;

(iii) paid to the Agent for the account of the Agent a processing fee of $3,500; and

(iv) provided to the Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agent that the assigning Bank has complied with the provisions of the last sentence of Section 12.6.

Upon receipt of the foregoing items and the consents of the Company and the Agent, and subject to the acceptance and recordation of the assignment by the Agent pursuant to Section 12.9, (x) the Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated to such Assignee, such Assignee shall have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder and under the other instruments and documents executed in connection herewith and (y) the assigning Bank, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated by it, shall be released from its obligations hereunder. The Agent may from time to time (and upon the request of the Company or any Bank after any change therein shall) distribute a revised Schedule I indicating any changes in the Banks party hereto or the respective Percentages of such Banks and update the Register. Within five Business Days after the Company’s receipt of notice from the Agent of the effectiveness of any such assignment and delegation, if requested by the Assignee in accordance with Section 12.9, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Agent (for delivery to the relevant Assignee) new Notes in favor of such Assignee and, if the assigning Bank has retained Loans and a Commitment hereunder and if so requested by such Bank in accordance with Section 12.9, replacement Notes in favor of the assigning Bank (such Notes to be in exchange for, but not in payment of, the Notes previously held by such assigning Bank). Each such Note shall be dated the date of the predecessor Notes. The assigning Bank shall promptly ▇▇▇▇ the predecessor Notes, if any, “exchanged” and deliver them to the Company. Any attempted assignment and delegation not made in accordance with this Section 13.4.1 shall be null and void.

The foregoing consent requirement shall not be applicable in the case of, and this Section 13.4.1 shall not restrict, any assignment or other transfer by any Bank of all or any portion of such Bank’s Loans or Commitment to (i) any Federal Reserve Bank (provided, that such Federal Reserve Bank shall not be considered a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement) or (ii) any Affiliate of such Bank (provided, that the assigning or transferring Bank shall give notice of such assignment or transfer to the Agent and the Company). Further, the foregoing consent

Credit Agreement

-47-

requirement of the Company shall not be applicable if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

The Company, each Bank, and each Assignee acknowledge and agree that after receipt by the Agent of the items and consents required by this Section each Assignee shall be considered a Bank for all purposes of this Agreement (including without limitation Sections 6.4, 7.1, 7.4, 13.5 and 13.6) and by its acceptance of an assignment herein, each Assignee agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation Section 6.4).

Section 13.4.2. Participations. Any Bank may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other Persons (any such commercial bank or other Person being herein called a “Participant”) participating interests in any of its Loans, its Commitment or any other interest of such Bank hereunder; provided, however, that

(a) no participation contemplated in this Section 13.4.2 shall relieve such Bank from its Commitment or its other obligations hereunder;

(b) such Bank shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its Commitment and such other obligations hereunder and such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Company hereunder, including the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (subject to Section 13.4.2(d) below);

(c) the Company and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(d) no Participant, unless such Participant is an Affiliate of such Bank, or is itself a Bank, shall be entitled to require such Bank to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder, except that such Bank may agree with any Participant that such Bank will not, without such Participant’s consent, take any actions of the type described in the third sentence of Section 13.1;

(e) the Company shall not be required to pay any amount under Sections 4.1, 6.4 or 7.1 that is greater than the amount which the Company would have been required to pay had no participating interest been sold;

(f) no Participant may further participate any interest in any Committed Loan (and each participation agreement shall contain a restriction to such effect);

(g) to the extent permitted by applicable law, each Participant shall be considered a Bank for purposes of Section 6.4, Section 7.1, Section 7.4, Section 13.5 and Section 13.6 and by its acceptance of a participating interest in any Loan, Commitment or any other interest of a Bank hereunder, each Participant agrees (i) that it is bound by, and agrees to deliver all documentation required under, the provisions of Section 6.2(b) and Section 6.4 as if such Participant were a Bank, and (ii) it is not entitled to any benefits

Credit Agreement

-48-

under Section 6.4 or Section 7.1 unless it is in full compliance with all requirements imposed on Banks under any of those Sections; and

(h) such Bank shall have provided to the Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agent that such Bank has complied with the provisions of the last sentence of Section 12.6.

Any Bank (a “Granting Bank”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle organized under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof (a “SPV”) of such Granting Bank, identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Bank to the Agent and the Company, the option to provide to the Company all or any part of its Loans that such Granting Bank would otherwise be obligated to make to the Company pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that (i) such SPV shall be deemed to be a Participant for purposes of this Section 13.4.2, (ii) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan, (iii) if a SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Bank shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof and (iv) the Company shall not be required to pay any amount under Sections 13.5 or 13.6 that is greater than the amount which the Company would have been required to pay had such SPV not provided the Company with any part of any Loan of such Granting Bank. The making of a Loan by a SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Bank to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Bank. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (any indemnity, liability or other payment obligation, including but not limited to any tax liabilities that occur by reason of such funding by the SPV, shall remain the obligation of the Granting Bank). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything contrary contained in this Section 13.4.2, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Company and the Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Bank providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV. This paragraph may not be amended without the written consent of any SPV at the time holding all or any part of any Loans under this Agreement (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Section 13.5. Costs, Expenses and Taxes. The Company agrees to pay on demand (a) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent (including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Agent (and of local counsel, if any, who may be retained by said counsel)), in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the Notes and all other instruments or documents provided for herein or delivered or to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith and (b)

Credit Agreement

-49-

all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses and allocated costs of staff counsel) incurred by the Agent and each Bank in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, the Notes or any such other instruments or documents. Each Bank agrees to reimburse the Agent for such Bank’s pro rata share (based upon its respective Percentage determined at the time such reimbursement is sought) of any such costs or expenses incurred by the Agent on behalf of all the Banks and not paid by the Company other than any fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Agent which exceed the amount which the Company has agreed with the Agent to reimburse. In addition, the Company agrees to pay, and to hold the Agent and the Banks harmless from all liability for, any stamp or other Taxes which may be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the borrowings hereunder, the issuance of the Notes (if any) or the execution and delivery of any other instruments or documents provided for herein or delivered or to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith. All obligations provided for in this Section 13.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes or any termination of this Agreement.

Section 13.6. Indemnification. In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Agent and the Banks, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify, exonerate and hold each of the Banks, the Agent, the Affiliates of each of the Banks and the Agent, and each of the officers, directors, employees and agents of the Banks, the Agent and the Affiliates of each of the Banks and the Agent (collectively herein called the “Bank Parties” and individually called a “Bank Party”) free and harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (collectively herein called the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by the Bank Parties or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) this Agreement, the Notes (if any) or the Loans or (ii) the direct or indirect use of proceeds of any of the Loans or any credit extended hereunder, except for any such Indemnified Liabilities arising on account of such Bank Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, and if and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. The Company agrees not to assert any claim against the Bank Parties on any theory of liability, for consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement and the Notes (if any) or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans. All obligations provided for in this Section 13.6 shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes (if any) or any termination of this Agreement.

Section 13.7. Regulation U. Each Bank represents that it in good faith is not relying, either directly or indirectly, upon any margin stock (as such term is defined in Regulation U promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) as collateral security for the extension or maintenance by it of any credit provided for in this Agreement.

Section 13.8. Extension of Termination Dates; Removal of Banks; Substitution of Banks. (a) Not more than 60 days nor less than 45 days prior to the then-effective Termination Date, the Company may, at its option, request all the Banks then party to this Agreement to extend their scheduled Termination Dates by an additional one year period, or such shorter period as agreed upon by the Company and the Agent, by means of a letter, addressed to the

Credit Agreement

-50-

Agent (who shall promptly deliver such letter to each Bank), substantially in the form of Exhibit J. Each Bank electing (in its sole discretion) so to extend its scheduled Termination Date shall execute and deliver not earlier than the 30th day nor later than the 20th day prior to the then-effective Termination Date counterparts of such letter to the Company and the Agent, who shall notify the Company, in writing, of the Banks’ decisions no later than 15 days prior to the existing Termination Date, whereupon (unless Banks with an aggregate Percentage in excess of 25% decline to extend their respective scheduled Termination Dates, in which event the Agent shall notify all the Banks thereof and no such extension shall occur) such Bank’s scheduled Termination Date shall be extended, effective only as of the date that is such Bank’s then-current scheduled Termination Date, to the date that is one year, or such shorter period as agreed as provided above, after such Bank’s then-current scheduled Termination Date. Any Bank that declines or fails to respond to the Company’s request for such extension shall be deemed to have not extended its scheduled Termination Date.

(b) With respect to any Bank (i) on account of which the Company is required to make any deductions or withholdings or pay any additional amounts, as contemplated by Section 6.4, (ii) on account of which the Company is required to pay any additional amounts, as contemplated by Section 7.1, (iii) for which it is illegal to make a LIBOR Rate Loan, as contemplated by Section 7.3 or (iv) which has declined to extend such Bank’s scheduled Termination Date and Banks with an aggregate Percentage in excess of 75% have elected to extend their respective Termination Dates, the Company may in its discretion, upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to the Agent and each Bank, remove such Bank as a party hereto. Each such notice shall specify the date of such removal (which shall be a Business Day and, if such Bank has any outstanding Bid Loans, shall (unless otherwise agreed by such Bank) be on or after the last day of the Loan Period for the Bid Loan of such Bank having the latest maturity date), which shall thereupon become the scheduled Termination Date for such Bank.

(c) In the event that any Bank does not extend its scheduled Termination Date pursuant to subsection (a) above or is the subject of a notice of removal pursuant to subsection (b) above, then, at any time prior to the Termination Date for such Bank (a “Terminating Bank”), the Company may, at its option, arrange to have one or more other Eligible Assignees (which may be a Bank or Banks, or if not a Bank, shall be acceptable to the Agent (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and each of which shall herein be called a “Successor Bank”) with the approval of the Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) succeed to all or a percentage of the Terminating Bank’s outstanding Loans, if any, and rights under this Agreement and assume all or a like percentage (as the case may be) of such Terminating Bank’s undertaking to make Loans pursuant hereto and other obligations hereunder (as if (i) in the case of any Bank electing not to extend its scheduled Termination Date pursuant to subsection (a) above, such Successor Bank had extended its scheduled Termination Date pursuant to such subsection (a) and (ii) in the case of any Bank that is the subject of a notice of removal pursuant to sub-section (b) above, no such notice of removal had been given by the Company); provided, that prior to replacing any Terminating Bank with any Successor Bank, the Company shall have given each Bank which has agreed to extend its Termination Date an opportunity to increase its Commitment by all or a portion of the Terminating Banks’ Commitments. Such succession and assumption shall be effected by means of one or more agreements supplemental to this Agreement among the Terminating Bank, the Successor Bank,

Credit Agreement

-51-

the Company and the Agent. On and as of the effective date of each such supplemental agreement (i) each Successor Bank party thereto shall be and become a Bank for all purposes of this Agreement and to the same extent as any other Bank hereunder and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement in the same manner as any other Bank and (ii) the Company agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the Agent a processing fee of $2,500 for each such Successor Bank which is not a Bank.

(d) On the Termination Date for any Terminating Bank, such Terminating Bank’s Commitment shall terminate and the Company shall pay in full all of such Terminating Bank’s Loans (except to the extent assigned pursuant to subsection (c) above) and all other amounts payable to such Bank hereunder (including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 7.4 on account of such payment); provided, that if an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists on the date scheduled as any Terminating Bank’s Termination Date, payment of such Terminating Bank’s Loans shall be postponed to (and, for purposes of calculating facility fees under Section 4.4, utilization fees under Section 4.5 and determining the Required Banks (except as provided below), but for no other purpose, such Terminating Bank’s Commitment shall continue until) the first Business Day thereafter on which (i) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists (without regard to any waiver or amendment that makes this Agreement less restrictive for the Company, other than as described in clause (ii) below) or (ii) the Required Banks (which for purposes of this subsection (d) shall be determined based upon the respective Percentages and aggregate Commitments of all Banks other than any Terminating Bank whose scheduled Termination Date has been extended pursuant to this proviso) waive or amend the provisions of this Agreement to cure all existing Events of Default or Unmatured Events of Default or agree to permit any borrowing hereunder notwithstanding the existence of any such event. In the event that CUSA or its Affiliates shall become a Terminating Bank, the Required Banks with the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall appoint another Bank or other Person as Agent, which shall have all of the rights and obligations of the Agent upon the effective date of and pursuant to an agreement supplemental hereto among the Company and the Banks, and thereupon CUSA, as Agent, shall be relieved from its obligations as Agent hereunder, it being understood that the provisions of Section 12 shall inure to the benefit of CUSA as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no such successor Agent shall be appointed within 30 days of the Termination Date of the Agent, then the Agent shall, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Agent in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 12.8 for a resigning Agent.

(e) To the extent that all or a portion of any Terminating Bank’s obligations are not assumed pursuant to subsection (c) above, the Aggregate Commitment shall be reduced on the applicable Termination Date and each Bank’s percentage of the reduced Aggregate Commitment shall be revised pro rata to reflect such Terminating Bank’s absence. The Agent shall distribute a revised Schedule I indicating such revisions promptly after the applicable Termination Date and update the Register accordingly. Such revised Schedule I shall be deemed conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error.

Credit Agreement

(f) The Agent agrees to use reasonable commercial efforts to assist the Company in locating one or more commercial banks or other financial institutions to replace any Terminating Bank prior to such Terminating Bank’s Termination Date.

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY

[ __, ____]

To the Financial Institutions and
the Agent Referred to Below
c/o Citicorp USA, Inc.
▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇
▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel for International Lease Finance Corporation (the “Company”) in connection with the $2,500,000,000 Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of October 13, 2006 (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, those certain financial institutions signatory thereto (the “Banks”), and Citicorp USA, Inc., in its individual capacity and as agent for the Banks (the “Agent”). Terms used herein without definition have the meanings given to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

In our capacity as such counsel, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction as being true copies of such records, documents or other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinions expressed below. We have been furnished, and have relied upon, certificates of officers of the Company with respect to certain factual matters regarding the Company. As to relevant factual matters, we have also relied on the representations and warranties made by the Company in the Credit Agreement. In addition, we have obtained and relied upon such certificates and assurances from public officials as we have deemed necessary.

In our review and examination we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as conformed or photostatic copies. For the purpose of the opinions hereinafter expressed, we have assumed the due execution and delivery, pursuant to due authorization, of each document referred to in this opinion by each party thereto other than the Company and its Subsidiaries, that each document constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of each such other party enforceable against such party in accordance with its respective terms and that such other person is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization.

We have investigated such questions of law for the purpose of rendering this opinion as we have deemed necessary. Upon the basis of the foregoing, our reliance upon the assumptions in this opinion and our considerations of those questions of law we considered relevant and subject to the limitations and qualifications in this opinion, we are of the opinion that:

Form of Opinion of Counsel for the Company

-2-

1. The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of California, with corporate power to own its properties and carry on its business as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

2. The Company has the corporate power and corporate authority to enter into the Credit Agreement, to make the borrowings under the Credit Agreement, to execute and deliver the Notes and to incur the obligations provided for therein, all of which have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company.

3. No order, consent, permit or approval of any California or U.S. federal governmental authority that we have, in exercise of customary professional diligence, recognized as applicable to the Company or to the transactions of the type contemplated by the Credit Agreement, is required on the part of the Company for the execution and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations under, the Credit Agreement and the Notes except as have been obtained or as may be obtained in the ordinary course of business.

4. The Credit Agreement and the Notes have been duly executed and delivered by the Company.

5. Each of the Credit Agreement and the Notes (if any) constitutes the legally valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally (including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyance laws) and by general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

6. The execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement and the Notes by the Company do not, and the Company’s performance of its obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Notes will not (i) violate the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, or (ii) violate, breach or result in a default under any existing obligation of or restriction on the Company under any of the agreements, instruments, contracts, orders, injunctions or judgments (the “Other Agreements”) identified to us in an officer’s certificate of the Company (a copy of which is being delivered to you concurrently herewith) as agreements, instruments, contracts, orders, injunctions or judgments binding on the Company or by which its assets are bound which have provisions limiting or impacted by the issuance by the Company of debt and which the violation or breach of or default under would have a Material Adverse Effect. We express no opinion as to the effect of the Company’s performance of its obligations in the Credit Agreement (and the Notes) with respect to the Company’s compliance with financial covenants in the Other Agreements.

7. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Credit Agreement and the Notes do not, and the Company’s performance of its obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Notes will not, violate any current California, New York or U.S. federal statute, rule or

Form of Opinion of Counsel for the Company

-3-

regulation that we have in the exercise of customary professional due diligence recognized as applicable to the Company or to the transactions of the type contemplated by the Credit Agreement.

8. The making of the Loan and the use of the proceeds thereof as provided in the Credit Agreement will not violate Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed that none of the Banks is a “creditor” as defined in Regulation T.

9. The Company is not an “investment company” required to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Our opinion in paragraph 5 above as to the enforceability of the Credit Agreement and the Notes is subject to:

(i) the unenforceability under certain circumstances of broadly or vaguely stated waivers or waivers of rights granted by law where the waivers are against public policy or prohibited by law; and

(ii) the unenforceability under certain circumstances of provisions appointing one party as attorney-in-fact or trustee for an adverse party.

We express no opinion as to any provision of the Credit Agreement insofar as it purports to grant a right of setoff in respect of any Party’s assets to any person other than a creditor of such Party.

For purposes of the opinions expressed in paragraphs 3, 6 and 7, we have assumed that the Company will not in the future take any discretionary action (including a decision not to act) permitted by the Credit Agreement or the Notes that would cause the performance of the Credit Agreement or the Company’s obligations under the Notes to violate any California, New York or U.S. federal statute, rule or regulation, constitute a violation or breach of or default under any of the agreements, instruments, contracts, orders, injunctions, judgments or decrees referred to in paragraph 6 or require an order, consent, permit or approval to be obtained from a California, New York or U.S. federal governmental authority.

We express no opinion concerning (i) federal or state securities laws or regulations, (ii) federal or state antitrust, unfair competition or trade practice laws or regulations, (iii) pension and employee benefit laws and regulations, (iv) compliance with fiduciary requirements, (v) federal or state environmental laws and regulations, (vi) federal or state land use or subdivision laws or regulations or (vii) federal or state laws and regulations concerning filing requirements, other than requirements applicable to charter-related documents.

In addition, we call your attention to the fact that the California Supreme Court in Grafton Partners v. Superior Court, 36 Cal. 4th 944 (2005), recently held that, under California law, pre-dispute waivers of the right to trial by jury are unenforceable. Although the Credit Agreement and the Notes each state that it is governed by the laws of the State of New York, a California court may not enforce the choice of New York law with respect to the waiver of the

Form of Opinion of Counsel for the Company

-4-

right to trial by jury in the Credit Agreement. Accordingly, we express no opinion as to whether or not the waiver of such right would be given effect by a California court.

The law covered by this opinion is limited to the present federal law of the United States and the present laws of the State of California, and for the purposes of paragraphs 5 and 7, the present laws of the State of New York. Our opinions rendered in paragraphs 3 and 7 above are based upon our review only of those statutes, rules and regulations which, in our experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Credit Agreement and the Notes. We express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction and no opinion regarding the statutes, administrative decisions, rules, regulations or requirements of any county, municipality, subdivision or local authority of any jurisdiction.

In rendering our opinions in paragraph 3 above, we have assumed that each Bank is a sophisticated financial institution capable of evaluating the merits and risks relating to the Credit Agreement and the Notes, and that each Bank has been provided access to such information relating to the Company as such Bank has requested.

Except as expressly set forth in paragraph 8 above, we are not expressing any opinion as to the effect of the Agent’s or any Bank’s compliance with any state or federal laws or regulations applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Company because of the nature of the Agent’s or any Bank’s business.

This opinion is furnished to you in connection with the Company’s execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement, is solely for your benefit and the benefit of your successors and assigns, and may not be relied upon by, nor may copies be delivered to, any other person, without our prior written consent. This opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above and we render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other matters. We assume no obligation to update or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that arise after the date of this opinion and come to our attention, or any future changes in laws.

Respectfully submitted,

▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am General Counsel for International Lease Finance Corporation (the “Company”) and am rendering this opinion in connection with the $2,500,000,000 Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of October 13, 2006 (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, those certain financial institutions signatory thereto (the “Banks”) and Citicorp USA, Inc., in its individual capacity and as administrative agent (the “Agent”). Terms used herein without definition have the meanings given to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

I have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction as being true copies, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments and have conducted such other investigations of fact and law as I have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion. I am opining herein as to the effect on the subject transactions of only United States of America federal law and the laws of the State of California.

Upon the basis of the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

1. The Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which the ownership or leasing of its property or the conduct of its business requires it to be so qualified; provided, however, that the Company may not be so qualified in certain jurisdictions, the effect of which would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

2. No subsidiary of the Company nor all of the subsidiaries of the Company taken as a whole is a “significant subsidiary” as defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

3. To the best of my knowledge, there is no pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which, individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Form of the Opinion of General Counsel of the Company

This opinion is furnished to you in connection with the Company’s execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement, is solely for your benefit and the benefit of your successors and assigns, and may not be relied upon by, nor may copies be delivered to, any other person without my prior written consent. This opinion is expressly limited to the matters set forth above and I render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other matters. I assume no obligation to update or supplement this opinion to reflect any facts or circumstances that arise after the date of this opinion and come to my attention, or any future changes in laws.

The assignment provided for herein shall be without recourse to the Assignor.

SECTION 3. Payments. As consideration for the assignment and sale contemplated in Section 2 hereof, the Assignee shall pay to the Assignor on the date hereof in Federal funds an amount equal to $ * .
