ARTICLE II

THE CREDITS

SECTION 2.01. Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender agrees to make loans (each, a “Loan”) in euros, Pounds Sterling, Dollars, Canadian Dollars, and Australian Dollars to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in the Dollar Equivalent of such Lender’s Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Commitment. Within the foregoing limit and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Loans, except that no borrowing or reborrowing may occur after the Availability Period. The Loans shall in each case be Prime Loans (if denominated in Dollars) or Eurocurrency Loans (if denominated in Dollars or in a single Multicurrency), as the Borrower shall request.

(b) Not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the Borrowing Date with respect to each Multicurrency Borrowing (or, in the case of a Borrowing in Dollars at a time when Multicurrency Loans shall be outstanding, promptly on such Borrowing Date), the Paying Agent shall determine the Exchange Rate with respect to the relevant Multicurrency as of such date and give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders. The Exchange Rate so determined shall become effective on such Borrowing Date for the purposes of determining the availability under the Commitments (it being understood that such availability shall be calculated and determined by applying such Exchange Rate to the aggregate principal amount of Multicurrency Loans which are outstanding on such Borrowing Date).

SECTION 2.02. Loans and Borrowings. (a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments. Subject to Section 2.13, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Prime Loans (if denominated in Dollars) or Eurocurrency Loans in Dollars or in a single Multicurrency as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith.

(b) The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that, other than any Commitment made by a Lender through a Conduit Lender as described in the definition thereof, which Commitment shall be the joint obligation of such Conduit Lender and its designating Lender, the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

(c) Each Lender at its option may make any Eurocurrency Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing or the Dollar Equivalent thereof shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $25,000,000. At the time that each Prime Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000; provided that a Prime Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of twelve Eurocurrency Borrowings outstanding.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Eurocurrency Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.

(f)(i) The Borrower and any one or more Lenders (including New Lenders) may, with the consent of the Paying Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), at any time and from time to time after the Effective Date, agree that such Lenders shall obtain their Commitments in accordance with Section 2.02(f)(ii) or increase the amount of their Commitments by executing and delivering to the Paying Agent an Increased Facility Activation Notice specifying (A) the amount of such increase and (B) the applicable Increased Facility Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the Required Lenders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), (x) the aggregate amount of the Commitments may not be increased by an amount greater than $500,000,000 in the aggregate and (y) each increase effected pursuant to this paragraph shall be in a minimum amount of at least $5,000,000. No Lender shall have any obligation to participate in any increase described in this paragraph unless it agrees in writing to do so in its sole discretion. The Paying Agent shall promptly give notice to all Lenders of any such increase.

(ii) Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity which, with the consent of the Borrower and the Paying Agent, elects to become a “Lender” under this Agreement in connection with any transaction described in Section 2.02(f)(i) shall execute a New Lender Supplement (each, a “New Lender Supplement”), substantially in the form of Exhibit D, whereupon such bank, financial institution or other entity (a “New Lender”) shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.

(iii) On each Increased Facility Closing Date on which there are Loans outstanding, the New Lenders and the Lenders that have increased their Commitments shall make Loans with Interest Periods corresponding to the remaining Interest Periods of the outstanding Loans (without regard to the requirements in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01), the proceeds of which will be used to prepay the Loans of other Lenders, so that, after giving effect thereto, the resulting Loans outstanding subject to each Interest Period are allocated ratably among the Lenders in accordance with Section 2.03 based on their respective Commitments after giving effect to the increase in the aggregate Commitments effective on such Increased Facility Closing Date.

SECTION 2.03. Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Paying Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of a Prime Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, telecopy or email with PDF attachment to the Paying Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Paying Agent and signed by the Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information:

(i) the currency and aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;

(ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be a Prime Borrowing (if denominated in Dollars) or a Eurocurrency Borrowing;

(iv) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and

(v) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.06.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be a Prime Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Paying Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04. Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request an Issuing Agent to, on behalf of the Lenders, issue, amend, renew or extend Letters of Credit for its own account, or for the account of the Borrower and any Subsidiary of the Borrower (together, as co-applicants), in a form reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Agent, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period and, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, such Issuing Agent agrees to issue, amend, renew or extend such Letters of Credit on behalf of the Lenders at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. Letters of Credit shall be denominated, at the Borrower’s request, in Dollars or any Multicurrency. At the Borrower’s request, and notwithstanding any provisions in the first sentence of this Section 2.04(a) to the contrary, any Letter of Credit required to be issued pursuant to this Section 2.04(a) shall be issued by an Issuing Lender as a Fronted Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.04(d). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower or the Borrower and any Subsidiary of the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower or the Borrower and any Subsidiary of the Borrower with, an Applicable Issuing Party relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) Issuance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.04 or elsewhere in this Agreement, (i) a Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (x) the Dollar Equivalent of the LC Exposure shall not exceed $300,000,000 and (y) the Dollar Equivalent of the sum of the total Credit Exposures shall not exceed the total Commitments; (ii) each Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date occurring not later than the earlier of (x) one year after such Letter of Credit’s date of issuance and (y) one year after the Maturity Date; provided that each such Letter of Credit may by its terms automatically renew annually for one additional year unless such Applicable Issuing Party (as directed by the Required Lenders) notifies the beneficiary thereof, in accordance with the terms of such Letter of Credit, that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed; (iii) each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars or in a single Multicurrency; and (iv) the Applicable Issuing Party will not issue any Letter of Credit after such Applicable Issuing Party has received written notice from the Borrower, the Required Lenders, or the Paying Agent, stating that a Default or an Event of Default exists until such time as such Applicable Issuing Party shall have received a written notice of rescission of such notice from the party or parties originally delivering the same.

(c) Non-Fronted Letters of Credit. Each Non-Fronted Letter of Credit will be issued by an Issuing Agent on behalf of the Lenders and each Lender will share in each Non-Fronted Letter of Credit pro rata in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

The obligations of each Lender under and in respect of each Non-Fronted Letter of Credit are several, and the failure by any Lender to perform its obligations under any Non-Fronted Letter of Credit shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower toward any other party hereto nor shall any other Lender or the Issuing Agent be liable for the failure by such Lender to perform its obligations under any Non-Fronted Letter of Credit.

(d) Fronted Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in Section 2.04(h), agrees to issue Fronted Letters of Credit requested by the Borrower to the extent contemplated by Section 2.04(a).

(e) Issuance Procedure. Subject to and on the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Applicable Issuing Party is hereby authorized by the Borrower and the Lenders to arrange for the issuance of any Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.04(a) and the amendment of any Letter of Credit permitted hereunder by:

(i) completing the commencement date and the expiry date of such Letter of Credit;

(ii) in the case of an amendment increasing or reducing the amount thereof, amending such Letter of Credit in such manner as such Applicable Issuing Party and the respective beneficiary may agree; and

(iii) (A) in the case of a Non-Fronted Letter of Credit, (1) completing such Non-Fronted Letter of Credit with the share of each Lender as allocated pursuant to the terms hereof, and (2) executing such Non-Fronted Letter of Credit on behalf of each Lender and, following such execution, delivering such Non-Fronted Letter of Credit to the beneficiary of such Non-Fronted Letter of Credit; or (B) in the case of Fronted Letters of Credit, (1) completing such Fronted Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms hereof, (2) issuing and executing such Fronted Letter of Credit and, following such execution, delivering such Fronted Letter of Credit to the beneficiary of such Fronted Letter of Credit and (3) promptly furnishing to the Paying Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of such Fronted Letter of Credit (including the amount and currency thereof).

(f) Execution of Non-Fronted Letters of Credit. Each Non-Fronted Letter of Credit shall be executed and delivered by the relevant Issuing Agent in the name and on behalf of, and as attorney-in-fact for, each Lender party to such Non-Fronted Letter of Credit, and such Issuing Agent shall act under each Non-Fronted Letter of Credit, and each Non-Fronted Letter of Credit shall expressly provide that such Issuing Agent shall act, as the agent of each Lender to (a) receive drafts, other demands for payment and other documents presented by the beneficiary under such Non-Fronted Letter of Credit, (b) determine whether such drafts, demands and documents are in compliance with the terms and conditions of such Non-Fronted Letter of Credit and (c) notify each Lender and the Borrower that a valid drawing has been made and the date that the related reimbursement is to be made; provided that such Issuing Agent shall have no obligation or liability for any reimbursement under such Non-Fronted Letter of Credit, and each Non-Fronted Letter of Credit shall expressly so provide. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and designates each Issuing Agent its attorney-in-fact, acting through any duly authorized officer of such Issuing Agent, to execute and deliver in the name and on behalf of such Lender each Non-Fronted Letter of Credit to be issued on behalf of such Lender hereunder. Promptly upon the request of an Issuing Agent, each Lender will furnish to such Issuing Agent such powers of attorney or other evidence as any beneficiary of any Non-Fronted Letter of Credit may reasonably request in order to demonstrate that such Issuing Agent has the power to act as attorney-in-fact for such Lender to execute and deliver such Non-Fronted Letter of Credit.

(g) Letter of Credit Request.

(i) Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued, the Borrower shall give the Paying Agent and the Applicable Issuing Party (with a copy to each Lender) written notice thereof (including by way of facsimile transmission, immediately confirmed in writing by submission of the original of such request by overnight delivery to the Applicable Issuing Party) prior to (i) in the case of Letters of Credit not issued in the United Kingdom, 11:00 A.M. (New York time), and (ii) in the case of Letters of Credit issued in the United Kingdom, 11:00 A.M. (London time), at least five Business Days (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to such Applicable Issuing Party) prior to the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day), which written notice shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Applicable Issuing Party (each, a “Letter of Credit Request”). Each Letter of Credit Request shall include any other documents that such Applicable Issuing Party customarily requires in connection therewith. As soon as practicable after receiving a Letter of Credit Request from the Borrower, the Paying Agent or any Applicable Issuing Party which requests to have such Letter of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower and a Subsidiary of the Borrower, and in any event at least 5 Business Days prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.04, for a Subsidiary that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States or a political subdivision thereof, any Lender that may not legally lend to, establish credit for the account of and/or do any business whatsoever with such Subsidiary directly or through an Affiliate of such Lender (a “Protesting Lender”) shall so notify the Borrower, the Paying Agent and/or such Applicable Issuing Party, as the case may be, in writing. With respect to each Protesting Lender, the Borrower shall, effective on or before the date that such Letter of Credit shall be issued, either (A) notify the Paying Agent and the Applicable Issuing Party, as the case may be, and such Protesting Lender that the Commitments of such Protesting Lender shall be terminated; provided that such Protesting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and/or Letter of Credit reimbursement obligations, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from an assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), or (B) cancel its request to issue such Letter of Credit to such Subsidiary hereunder.

(ii) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and it will not violate the requirements of, Sections 2.04(a) and (b).

(iii) Upon its issuance of, or amendment to, any Letter of Credit, the relevant Applicable Issuing Party shall promptly notify the Borrower, the Paying Agent and the Lenders of such issuance or amendment, which notice shall include a summary description of the Letter of Credit actually issued and any amendments thereto. Each Applicable Issuing Party shall also give prompt notice to the Paying Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders) of the termination or expiry of any Fronted Letter of Credit issued by it.

(h) Fronted Letter of Credit Participations. By the issuance of a Fronted Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of an Issuing Lender or the Lenders, such Issuing Lender hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Lender, a participation in such Fronted Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Paying Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Lender and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (i) of this Section, or of any reimbursement

payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Fronted Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(i) Reimbursement. If an Applicable Issuing Party or any Lender shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Paying Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that such Applicable Issuing Party and/or Lender gives notice to the Borrower of such LC Disbursement; provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.07 that such payment be financed with a Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be due on the date of, and be discharged and replaced by, the Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Paying Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Paying Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Applicable Issuing Party the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Paying Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Paying Agent shall distribute such payment to such Applicable Issuing Party and/or Lender, as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Applicable Issuing Party for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(j) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (j) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of:

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

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

(iii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, any Applicable Issuing Party, the Paying Agent or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;

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

(v) payment by any Applicable Issuing Party under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and

(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of any Applicable Issuing Party, the Lenders, the Paying Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

Neither the Paying Agent, the Lenders nor any Applicable Issuing Party, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder, including any of the circumstances specified in clauses (i) through (vi) above, as well as any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of an Applicable Issuing Party; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Applicable Issuing Party from liability to the Borrower and the Lenders to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower and the Lenders to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower or the Lenders that are caused by such Applicable Issuing Party’s failure to exercise the agreed standard of care (as set forth below) in determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that an Applicable Issuing Party shall have exercised the agreed standard of care in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Applicable Issuing Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood that an Applicable Issuing Party may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and may make payment upon presentation of documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; provided that such Applicable Issuing Party shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decline to accept such documents and to make such payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(k) Disbursement Procedures. Each Applicable Issuing Party shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Applicable Issuing Party shall promptly notify the Paying Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Applicable Issuing Party has made or will make (or in the case of a Non-Fronted Letter of Credit, notify the Lenders to make) an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Applicable Issuing Party and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(l) Interim Interest. If an Applicable Issuing Party shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Prime Loans. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Applicable Issuing Party, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (i) of this Section to reimburse the Applicable Issuing Party shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(m) Replacement of an Applicable Issuing Party. Any Applicable Issuing Party may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the replaced Applicable Issuing Party and the successor Applicable Issuing Party, with the consent of the Paying Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Paying Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Applicable Issuing Party. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Applicable Issuing Party shall have all the rights and obligations of such replaced Applicable Issuing Party under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” or “Issuing Agent”, shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Lender or Issuing Agent, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders or Issuing Agents, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Applicable Issuing Party hereunder, the replaced Applicable Issuing Party shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations as applicable to such Applicable Issuing Party under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(n) Cash Collateralization. If (i) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Co-Administrative Agents or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph or (ii) any Letter of Credit has an expiry date occurring after the Maturity Date, then on the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Paying Agent, in the name of the Paying Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Paying Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and shall be invested by or on behalf of the Paying Agent in a “money market fund” (or the private equivalent thereof), or in investments permitted to be held by a “money market fund”, as such term is used in Rule 2a-7 of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Paying Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Paying Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Paying Agent to reimburse the Applicable Issuing Party or the Lenders for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has occurred or has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within one Business Day after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

SECTION 2.05. Currency Fluctuations, etc.

(a) Not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Calculation Date, the Paying Agent shall (i) determine the Exchange Rate as of such Calculation Date with respect to (x) each Multicurrency in which then outstanding Loans or Letters of Credit are denominated and (ii) give notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Exchange Rates so determined shall become effective on the first Business Day immediately following the relevant Calculation Date (a “Reset Date”) and shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset Date.

(b) Not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Reset Date, the Paying Agent shall (i) determine the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans and LC Exposure at such time outstanding in any Multicurrency (after giving effect to any Loans in such Multicurrency to be made or repaid on such date and any Letter of Credit in such Multicurrency to be issued on such date) (the “Outstanding Multicurrency Amount”) and (ii) notify the relevant Lenders and the Borrower of the results of such determination.

(c) If on any Reset Date, the sum of the Outstanding Multicurrency Amount plus all other Credit Exposure exceeds 105% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments, then the Borrower shall, within three Business Days after notice thereof from the Payment Agent, prepay (in any Multicurrency or Dollars, as selected by the Borrower) Loans in an aggregate amount such that, after giving effect thereto, the total Credit Exposure shall be equal to or less than the total Commitments (and in the event that, after such prepayment, the Outstanding Multicurrency Amount is more than the total Commitments, the Borrower shall provide cash cover for the difference by paying to the Paying Agent immediately available funds in an amount equal to such difference, which funds shall be retained by the Paying Agent in a collateral account as collateral security for the LC Exposure). If any such prepayment of Loans occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to the relevant Lenders such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.18.

SECTION 2.06. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the Paying Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Paying Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Paying Agent and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request.

(b) Unless the Paying Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Paying Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Paying Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Paying Agent but the Paying Agent has made such amount available to the Borrower, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Paying Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Paying Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, a rate of interest of up to or equal to the rate applicable to Prime Loans, as the Paying Agent shall determine in consultation with the Borrower. If such Lender pays such amount to the Paying Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.07. Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter during the Availability Period, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion

shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Paying Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, telecopy or email with PDF attachment to the Paying Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Paying Agent and signed by the Borrower.

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Prime Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Paying Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a Prime Borrowing (if such Eurocurrency Borrowing is denominated in Dollars) or continued with an Interest Period of one month’s duration (if such Eurocurrency Borrowing is denominated in a Multicurrency).

SECTION 2.08. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $10,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the total Credit Exposures would exceed the total Commitments.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Paying Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Paying Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the closing of a capital markets transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Paying Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

SECTION 2.09. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Paying Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan to the Borrower on the Maturity Date.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender to the Borrower, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c) The Paying Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Paying Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Paying Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans to it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Any Lender may reasonably request that Loans made by it to the Borrower be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns), substantially in the form of Exhibit C. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.10. Prepayment of Loans. (a) Subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section, the Borrower may at its option, at any time, without premium or penalty of any kind (other than any payments required under Section 2.18), prepay, in whole or in part, any Borrowings.

(b) The Borrower shall notify the Paying Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or email with PDF attachment) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date three Business Days prior to the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of a Prime Borrowing, not later than

11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Paying Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12.

SECTION 2.11. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Paying Agent for the ratable account of each Lender a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”), which shall accrue from (and including) the Effective Date to (but excluding) the Maturity Date on the daily amount of the Commitment of such Lender (whether used or unused) at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Facility Fee Percentage; provided that, if such Lender continues to have any Credit Exposure after its Commitment terminates, then such Facility Fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Lender’s Credit Exposure from and including the date on which its Commitment terminates but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Credit Exposure. Accrued Facility Fees shall be payable in arrears on the third Business Day following the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on September 30, 2007, and on the date on which the Commitments terminate; provided that any Facility Fees accruing after the date on which the relevant Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. All Facility Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days (as the case may be) and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Paying Agent for the ratable account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its share of Non-Fronted Letters of Credit and its participations in Fronted Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin applicable to interest on Eurocurrency Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the relevant Issuing Lender a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.075% per annum on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure with respect to Fronted Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure with respect to Fronted Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements), as well as such Issuing Lender’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, negotiation, payment, renewal or extension of any Fronted Letter of Credit issued by it or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees shall be payable on the third Business Day following the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing September 30, 2007, and on the date that the Commitments terminate; provided that any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Lender pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days (as the case may be) and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Paying Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Paying Agent.

(d) If the average daily aggregate principal amount of the Loans and LC Exposure outstanding for (i) the period beginning with the Effective Date and ending on September 30, 2007, (ii) any calendar quarter commencing with the fourth calendar quarter of 2007 and ending on the last day of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the Maturity Date or (iii) the period beginning on and including the day after the end of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the Maturity Date and ending on the Maturity Date is in excess of 50% of the average daily Commitments of the Lenders for such calendar quarter or period (disregarding for this purpose any termination of any Commitments that occurred during or prior to such calendar quarter or period), the Borrower agrees to pay to the Paying Agent, for the ratable accounts of the Lenders, a utilization fee (the “Utilization Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Utilization Fee Percentage on such average daily aggregate principal amount outstanding of Loans and LC Exposure during such calendar quarter (or period), payable in arrears on the third Business Day after the last day of such calendar quarter (or period). All Utilization Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days or 366 days (as the case may be) and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(e) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in Dollars and immediately available funds, to the Paying Agent. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.12. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each Prime Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of a Prime Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment, (ii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion and (iii) all accrued interest on a Loan shall be payable upon termination of the Commitments applicable to such Loan and upon the Maturity Date.

(d) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days or 366 days (as the case may be) and in each case, shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Prime Rate or Eurocurrency Rate shall be determined by the Paying Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.13. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Paying Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period, then the Paying Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Paying Agent

notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request by the Borrower requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Prime Borrowing (if such Eurocurrency Borrowing is denominated in Dollars) or a Borrowing bearing interest at an interest rate reasonably determined by the Paying Agent to compensate the Lenders for such Borrowing in the relevant currency for the applicable period (if such Eurocurrency Borrowing is denominated in a Multicurrency).

SECTION 2.14. Increased Costs. In the event that by reason of any change after the date of this Agreement in applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration, application or interpretation thereof, or by reason of the adoption or enactment after the date of this Agreement of any requirement or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority:

(a) any Lender shall, with respect to this Agreement, be subject to any tax, levy, impost, charge, fee, duty, deduction or withholding of any kind whatsoever (other than Excluded Taxes); or

(b) any change shall occur in the taxation of any Lender with respect to the principal or interest payable under this Agreement (other than the imposition of any Excluded Taxes or any change which affects solely the taxation of the total income of such Lender); or

(c) any reserve or similar requirements should be imposed on either the commitments to extend credit or the foreign claims of deposits of any Lender;

and if any of the above-mentioned measures shall result in a material increase in the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining its Loans or Commitments or share of or participation in Letters of Credit or a material reduction in the amount of principal or interest received or receivable by such Lender in respect thereof, then upon prompt written notification (which shall include the date of effectiveness of such change, adoption or enactment) and demand being made by such Lender for such additional cost or reduction, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, within 30 days of such demand being made by such Lender, such additional amount as shall compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be responsible for any such increased cost or reduction that may accrue to such Lender with respect to the period between the occurrence of the event which gave rise to such cost or reduction and the date on which notification is given by such Lender to the Borrower; and provided, further, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such Lender any such additional amount unless such Lender certifies to the Borrower that at such time such Lender shall be generally assessing such amounts on a non-discriminatory basis against borrowers under agreements having provisions similar to this Section; and provided, further, that any such increased cost or reduction allocated to any Loan, Letter of Credit or participation therein, or Commitment shall not exceed the Borrower’s pro rata share of all such increased costs or reductions attributable to all loans or advances, letters of credit or commitments to all borrowers by such Lender that collectively result in the consequences for which such Lender is to be compensated by the Borrower. Within 30 days of receipt of such notification, the Borrower will pay such additional amounts as may be applicable to the period subsequent to notification or prepay in full all Loans to it outstanding under this Agreement so affected by such increased costs or reductions, together with interest and fees accrued thereon to the date of prepayment in full. Such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy applied on a non-discriminatory basis and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different applicable lending office for the Loans made by it, Letters of Credit issued or participated in by it and its Commitment or to take other appropriate actions if such designation or actions, as the case may be, will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any increased costs to the Borrower or

reduction in amounts received incurred under this Section and will not, in the opinion of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

SECTION 2.15. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Paying Agent, the Co-Administrative Agents, the Applicable Issuing Party or each Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Paying Agent, the Co-Administrative Agents, the Applicable Issuing Parties, and each Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Paying Agent, Co-Administrative Agents, any Applicable Issuing Party or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Paying Agent, a Co-Administrative Agent, or an Applicable Issuing Party, on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Paying Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Paying Agent.

(e) Any Lender, Applicable Issuing Party or Agent that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Paying Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

(f) Each Lender, Applicable Issuing Party and Agent shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy applied on a non-discriminatory basis and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different applicable lending office for the Loans made by it, the Letters of Credit issued or participated in by it and its Commitments or to take other appropriate actions if such designation or actions, as the case may be, will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any payments the Borrower is required to make under this Section 2.15 and will not, in the opinion of such Lender, Applicable Issuing Party or Agent, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender, Applicable Issuing Party or Agent.

SECTION 2.16. Payments Generally. (a) Unless otherwise specified herein, the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (including under Section 2.14, 2.15, 2.18, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due and in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Paying Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Paying Agent at its offices at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇^▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: ▇▇▇▇▇ Eso, Loan and Agency Services Group, or at such other office in the United States of America as directed by Paying Agent, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.11(c), 2.14, 2.15, 2.18 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Paying Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Paying Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Paying Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the time by which any payment from the Borrower is due to the Paying Agent for the account of the relevant Lenders or other recipients hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Paying Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the relevant Lenders or other recipients the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the relevant Lenders or other recipients severally agrees to repay to the Paying Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or other recipients with interest thereon, for each

day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Paying Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06(b) or 2.16(c), then the Paying Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Paying Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.17. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation, or is entitled to payments, under Section 2.14 or Section 2.15 or is affected in the manner described in Section 2.19, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (in the case of a claim for compensation under, or payments pursuant to, Section 2.14 or Section 2.15 or in the case of illegality under Section 2.19) or at the expense and effort of any such defaulting Lender, upon notice to such Lender and the Paying Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall notify Bank of America (in its capacity as Co-Administrative Agent), (ii) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Paying Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (iii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under, or payments pursuant to, Section 2.14 or Section 2.15 or from illegality under Section 2.19, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments or eliminate the illegality, as the case may be. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.18. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including pursuant to Section 2.02(f)(iii) or as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under Section 2.10(b) and is revoked in accordance herewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount reasonably determined by such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment, conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing, conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Eurocurrency Rate, for such Interest Period, over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an affiliate of such Lender) for

deposits from other banks in the relevant currency in the eurocurrency market at the commencement of such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.19. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurocurrency Loans, continue Eurocurrency Loans as such and convert Prime Loans into Eurocurrency Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurocurrency Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Prime Loans (if such Eurocurrency Loans are denominated in Dollars) or repaid (if such Eurocurrency Loans are denominated in a Multicurrency) on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion or repayment of a Eurocurrency Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.18. If circumstances subsequently change so that any affected Lender shall determine that it is no longer so affected, such Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Paying Agent, and upon receipt of such notice, the obligations of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Loans or to convert Prime Loans into Eurocurrency Loans shall be reinstated.

SECTION 2.20. Extension of Maturity Date. (a) Subject to the requirements of Section 2.20(d) (including, without limitation, the requirement that Lenders having more than 66²/3% of the Commitments shall consent), at least 30 days but not more than 45 days prior to each of (x) the first anniversary of the Effective Date and (y) the second anniversary of the Effective Date (each such anniversary, an “Extension Date”), the Borrower, by written notice to the Paying Agent, may request an extension of the Maturity Date in effect at such time by one year from its then scheduled date. The Paying Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of any such request, and each Lender shall in turn, in its sole discretion, not later than 20 days prior to the relevant Extension Date, notify the Borrower and the Paying Agent in writing as to whether such Lender will consent to such extension. If any Lender shall fail to notify the Paying Agent and the Borrower in writing of its consent to any such request for extension of the Maturity Date at least 20 days prior to the relevant Extension Date, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Non-Consenting Lender with respect to such request. The Paying Agent shall notify the Borrower promptly of the decision of the Lenders regarding any such request for an extension of the Maturity Date.

(b) If all the Lenders consent in writing to any request for an extension of the Maturity Date in accordance with Section 2.20(a), the Maturity Date in effect at such time shall, effective as of the relevant Extension Date, be extended for one year; provided that on each Extension Date, the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV shall have been satisfied. If fewer than all of the Lenders consent in writing to any such request in accordance with Section 2.20(a), the Maturity Date in effect at such time shall, subject to Section 2.20(d) (including, without limitation, the requirement that Lenders having more than 66²/3% of the Commitments shall have consented) and effective as at the applicable Extension Date, be extended only as to those Lenders that so consented (each a “Consenting Lender”) but shall not be extended as to any other Lender (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”). To the extent that the Maturity Date is not extended as to any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.20 and the Commitment of such Lender is not assumed in accordance with Section 2.20(c) on or prior to the applicable Extension Date, the Commitment of such Non-Consenting Lender shall, unless such Non-Consenting Lender shall otherwise subsequently agree to extend its Commitment to such Extension Date, automatically terminate in whole on such unextended Maturity Date without any further notice or other action by the Borrower,

such Lender or any other Person; provided that such Non-Consenting Lender’s rights under Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03(a), and its obligations under Section 9.03(b), shall survive the Maturity Date for such Lender as to matters occurring prior to such date. It is understood and agreed that no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to agree to any request made by the Borrower for any requested extension of the Maturity Date.

(c) If fewer than all of the Lenders consent to any request for an extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 2.20(a), the Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Consenting Lenders, and each Consenting Lender may, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Paying Agent not later than 10 days prior to the Maturity Date in effect at such time of the amount of the Non-Consenting Lenders’ Commitments that it is willing to assume. If one or more Consenting Lenders notify the Paying Agent that they are willing to assume one or more Commitments in an aggregate amount that exceeds the Commitments of the Non-Consenting Lenders, such Commitments shall be allocated among such Consenting Lenders in such amounts as are agreed between the Borrower and the Paying Agent (but not in excess of the amount any Consenting Lender is willing to assume). If after giving effect to the assignments of Commitments described above, there remain any Commitments of Non-Consenting Lenders, the Borrower may arrange for one or more Consenting Lenders or other Eligible Assignees that agree to an extension of the Maturity Date (each such Consenting Lender pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence or this sentence and each such Eligible Assignee, an “Assuming Lender”) to assume, effective as of the Extension Date, any remaining Non-Consenting Lenders’ Commitments and all of the obligations of such Non-Consenting Lenders under this Agreement thereafter arising relating to such Commitments, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such Non-Consenting Lenders; provided, however, that the amount of the Commitment of any such Assuming Lender as a result of such substitution shall in no event be less than $10,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Borrower and the Paying Agent shall agree). The assumptions provided for in this Section 2.20(c) shall be subject to the conditions that:

(i) the Assuming Lenders shall have paid (or, in the case of any interest or fees, if it has been so agreed, the Borrower shall have paid) to the Non-Consenting Lenders (A) the aggregate principal amount of, and any interest and fees accrued and unpaid to the relevant Extension Date on, the outstanding Loans and LC Disbursements (or participations therein), if any, of the Non-Consenting Lenders under the respective portions of their Commitments being assumed;

(ii) all additional costs, reimbursements, expense reimbursements and indemnities payable to the Non-Consenting Lenders in respect of such portions of their Commitments shall have been paid by the Borrower; and

(iii) with respect to any such Assuming Lender, the applicable processing and recordation fee required under Section 9.04(b) for such assignment shall have been paid by the Assuming Lender (or, if it has been so agreed, by the Borrower);

provided further that a Non-Consenting Lender’s rights under Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03(a), and its obligations under Section 9.03(b), shall survive any such assumption as to matters occurring prior to the date of substitution. On or prior to any Extension Date, (A) each Assuming Lender that is an Eligible Assignee but not a Consenting Lender shall have delivered to the Borrower and the Paying Agent an assumption agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit E (each an “Assumption Agreement”) and (B) any Consenting Lender assuming any Commitments shall have delivered confirmation in writing satisfactory to the Borrower and the Paying Agent as to the increase in the amount of its Commitment. Upon the payment or prepayment of all amounts referred to above, the Assuming Lenders, as of the Extension Date, will be substituted for the Non-Consenting Lenders under this Agreement to the extent of their assumed Commitments and shall be Lenders for all purposes of this Agreement, without any further acknowledgment

by or the consent of the other Lenders, and the obligations of the Non-Consenting Lenders to such extent hereunder shall, by the provisions hereof, be released and discharged.

(d) If the Lenders (including Eligible Assignees who are Assuming Lenders) having more than 66²/3% of the Commitments (after giving effect to any assumptions pursuant to Section 2.20(c)) consent in writing to a requested extension (whether by execution or delivery of an Assumption Agreement or otherwise) on or prior to an Extension Date, the Paying Agent shall so notify the Borrower, and, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02, the Maturity Date then in effect shall be extended for the additional one year period as described in Section 2.20(a), and all references in this Agreement to the “Maturity Date” shall, with respect to each Consenting Lender and each Assuming Lender for such Extension Date, refer to the Maturity Date as so extended. Promptly following each Extension Date, the Paying Agent shall notify the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Assuming Lender) of the extension of the scheduled Maturity Date in effect immediately prior thereto and shall thereupon record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Assuming Lender.

of any management, advisory or similar fees, with any Affiliate (other than the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) unless such transaction either (a) is upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Borrower, or such Material Subsidiary, as the case may be, than would be applicable to a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person that is not such an Affiliate or (b) in the Borrower’s good-faith judgment, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

THE AGENTS

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints each of the Co-Administrative Agents and the Paying Agent as its agent (each, an “Agent”, and together, the “Agents”) and authorizes the Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agents by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

Each of the banks serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its respective capacity as a Lender or Applicable Issuing Party as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder.

The Agents shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Agents shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event or Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Agents shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Agents are required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Agents shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the banks serving as Agents or any of their Affiliates in any capacity. The Agents shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by them with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or all the Lenders, as the case may be, or in the absence of their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Agents shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Agents by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Agents shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the relevant Agent or Agents.

The Agents shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing reasonably believed by them to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Agents may rely upon any statement made to them orally or by telephone and reasonably believed by them to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Agents may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by them and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by them in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Agents may perform any and all their duties and exercise their rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agents. The Agents or any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agents and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Agents.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent or Agents as provided in this paragraph, each of the Agents may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the written consent of the Borrower so long as no Event of Default exists, to appoint a successor or successors. If no successor or successors shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders with the written consent of the Borrower (when required) and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent or Agents gives notice of its or their resignation, then the retiring Agent or Agents may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent or Agents, each of which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its respective duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to any successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After any Agent’s

resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as an Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.

SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Co-Administrative Agents with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby or (iv) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; provided, further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of such Agent.

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lead Arrangers, the Agents and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for the Lead Arrangers and the Agents in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents, any Applicable Issuing Party or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agents, any Applicable Issuing Party or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement of its rights in connection with this Agreement.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Lead Arrangers, the Agents, each Applicable Issuing Party and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any Letter of Credit or the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or under any Letter of Credit, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. It is understood and agreed that, to the extent not precluded by a conflict of interest, each Indemnitee shall endeavor to work cooperatively with the Borrower with a view toward minimizing the legal and other expenses associated with any defense and any potential settlement or judgment. To the extent reasonably practicable and not disadvantageous to any Indemnitee, it is anticipated that a single counsel selected by the Borrower may be used. Settlement of any claim or litigation involving any material indemnified amount will require the approvals of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the relevant Indemnitee (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed or delayed).

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, the Lead Arrangers and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Lead Arrangers, the Co-Administrative Agents, the Paying Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Any Lender other than any Conduit Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, each of the Borrower and the Paying Agent must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (it being understood that it shall be reasonable for the Borrower to withhold consent if the assignee has long-term debt ratings below BBB- from S&P or Baa3 from ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ or has ratings at such levels but is on credit watch with negative implications at either S&P or ▇▇▇▇▇’▇), (ii) the Issuing Lenders must give their prior consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (iii) Bank of America (in its capacity as Co-Administrative Agent) is notified of such assignment; (iv) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of an assigning Lender’s Commitment, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Paying Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Paying Agent otherwise consents, (v) each partial assignment of a Lender’s rights and obligations shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations, (vi) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Paying Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 payable by the assignor or the assignee, (vii) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Paying Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and (viii) the assignee, if applicable, shall, prior to the first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for its account, deliver to the Borrower and the Paying Agent the documentation described in Section 2.15(e); provided, further that any consent of the Borrower otherwise required under this paragraph shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have (in addition to any such rights and obligations then otherwise held by it) the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.18, and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign at any time to its designating Lender hereunder without the consent of the Borrower or the Paying Agent any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder and pursuant to its designation agreement and without regard to the limitations set forth in the first sentence of this Section 9.04(b).

(c) The Paying Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Subject to Section 2.09(d), the entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Agents, the Applicable Issuing Parties and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Paying Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(e) Any Lender other than any Conduit Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Co-Administrative Agents, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents, the Applicable Issuing Parties and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02 that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.18 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.15 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.15 as though it were a Lender.

(g) Any Lender other than any Conduit Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(h) Each of the Borrower, each Lender, the Applicable Issuing Parties and the Agents hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

SECTION 9.05. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Lead Arrangers and the Agents (as the case may be) constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower, the Paying Agent and the Co-Administrative Agents and when the Co-Administrative Agents shall have received and delivered to the Borrower counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or email with PDF attachment shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.06. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against any other party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.07. Judgment Currency.

(a) If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Paying Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency in the city in which it normally conducts its foreign exchange operations for the first currency on the Business Day preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any sum due from it to any Applicable Issuing Party and/or Lender hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is

denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency such Applicable Issuing Party and/or Lender may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Applicable Issuing Party and/or Lender in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees notwithstanding any such judgment to indemnify such Lender against such loss, and if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to any Applicable Issuing Party and/or Lender, such Applicable Issuing Party and/or Lender agrees to remit to the Borrower such excess.

SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If any Loan or LC Disbursement shall have become due and payable, whether due to maturity, acceleration or otherwise, each Lender and each Applicable Issuing Party (including in each case for purposes of this Section each of its Affiliates which is a regulated commercial bank) is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender or Applicable Issuing Party, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Applicable Issuing Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement. The rights of each Lender or Applicable Issuing Party under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender or Applicable Issuing Party may have.

SECTION 9.09. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.10. Confidentiality. Each of the Agents, the Applicable Issuing Parties and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or to any direct, indirect, actual or prospective counterparty (and its advisor) to any swap, derivative or securitization transaction related to the obligations under this Agreement, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section by such Person or (ii) becomes available to any Agent, any Applicable Issuing Party or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to any Agent, any Applicable Issuing Party or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION 9.11. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.12. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

SECTION 9.13. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers or representatives as of the day and year first above written.
