Amounts borrowed as Term Loans which are repaid or prepaid by the Company may not be reborrowed. Term Loans shall be denominated in Dollars and shall not be available in, or convertible into, Offshore Currencies. (b) The Revolving Credit. Each Bank severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, to make loans to the Borrowers (each such loan, a "Revolving Loan") from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the Revolving Termination Date, in an aggregate principal Dollar Equivalent amount not to exceed at any time outstanding, together with the principal amount of Term Loans outstanding in favor of such Bank at such time, the amount set forth on Schedule 2.01 under the heading "Commitment" (such amount, together with such Bank's Pro Rata Share of the Term Commitment, as the same may be reduced under Section 2.08 or as a result of one or more assignments under Section 11.08, the Bank's "Commitment"); provided, however, that, after giving effect to any Committed Borrowing of Revolving Loans, the Effective Amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans, Term Loans, Bid Loans and L/C Obligations shall not at any time exceed the combined Commitments; and provided further that, (i) after giving effect to any Borrowing of Offshore Currency Loans, the aggregate principal Dollar Equivalent amount of all Offshore Currency Loans shall not exceed the Offshore Currency Loan Sublimit, and (ii) the Effective Amount of the Revolving Loans and Term Loans of any Bank plus the participation of such Bank in the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations shall not exceed such Bank's Commitment.

Each A Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $10,000,000 (or, if lower, the amount of the Available Commitments) or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall consist of A Advances of the same Type made on the same day by the Lenders ratably according to their respective Percentages.

(b) In no event shall the Borrower be entitled to request or receive any Extensions of Credit that would cause the principal amount outstanding hereunder to exceed the Commitments.

• Terms of Notes The following terms relating to the Notes are hereby established: (a) The Notes shall constitute a series of securities having the title “4.80% Senior Notes due 2021”. (b) The aggregate principal amount of the Original Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of, transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Sections 2.05, 2.06, 2.07 or 9.04 of the Base Indenture) shall be up to $500,000,000. (c) The entire outstanding principal of the Notes shall be payable on July 15, 2021 plus any unpaid interest accrued to such date. (d) The rate at which the Notes shall bear interest shall be 4.80% per annum; the date from which interest shall accrue on the Notes shall be July 15, 2011 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid; the Interest Payment Dates for the Notes on which interest will be payable shall be January 15 and July 15 in each year, beginning January 15, 2012; the regular record dates for the interest payable on the Notes on any Interest Payment Date shall be the January 1 and July 1 preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date; and the basis upon which interest on the Notes shall be calculated shall be that of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. (i) The Notes may be redeemed in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Issuer. The redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) of the Notes to be redeemed shall be calculated as follows, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the redemption date: (A) If the redemption date is prior to April 15, 2021, the Notes may be redeemed by the Issuer at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the then current Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points. (B) If the redemption date is on or after April 15, 2021, the Notes may be redeemed by the Issuer at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed. (A) In case the Issuer shall desire to exercise such right to redeem all or, as the case may be, a portion of the Notes in accordance with Section 1.01(e)(i) above, the Issuer shall, or shall cause the Trustee to, give notice of such redemption to holders of the Notes to be redeemed by mailing, first class postage prepaid, a notice of such redemption not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption to such holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Security Register. Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the registered holder received the notice. In any case, failure duly to give such notice to the holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in the notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption and the Redemption Price at which the Notes to be redeemed are to be redeemed, and shall state that payment of the Redemption Price of such Notes to be redeemed will be made at the office or agency of the Issuer in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, upon presentation and surrender of such Notes, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice and, that from and after said date interest will cease to accrue; except that interest shall continue to accrue on any Note or portion thereof with respect to which the Issuer defaults in the payment of such Redemption Price and accrued interest. If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the notice to the holders of the Notes to be redeemed in whole or in part shall specify the particular Notes to be redeemed. In case the Notes are to be redeemed in part only, the notice shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and shall state that on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such security, a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued. (B) If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Issuer shall give the Trustee at least 45 days’ notice in advance of the date fixed for redemption as to the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, and thereupon the Trustee shall select, by lot or in such other manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair in its discretion and that may provide for the selection of a portion or portions (equal to one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000) or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of the principal amount of such series of Notes of a denomination larger than $1,000, the Notes to be redeemed and shall thereafter promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the numbers of the Notes to be redeemed, in whole or in part. The Issuer may, if and whenever it shall so elect, by delivery of instructions signed on its behalf by its President or any Vice President, instruct the Trustee or any paying agent to call all or any part of the Notes for redemption and to give notice of redemption in the manner set forth in this Section, such notice to be in the name of the Issuer or its own name as the Trustee or such paying agent may deem advisable. In any case in which notice of redemption is to be given by the Trustee or any such paying agent, the Issuer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to, or permit to remain with, the Trustee or such paying agent, as the case may be, such Security Register, transfer books or other records, or suitable copies or extracts therefrom, sufficient to enable the Trustee or such paying agent to give any notice that may be required under the provisions of this Section. Subject to Section 2.11 of the Base Indenture, the Issuer shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of the Notes selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Notes so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any such Notes being redeemed in part. If the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as above provided, the Notes or portions of the Notes to be redeemed specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable Redemption Price, and interest on such Notes shall cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such Redemption Price and accrued interest. (iii) As used herein:

The Loans and each of them shall be made upon the following terms and conditions: (a) The maximum aggregate principal amount of the Loans shall be in the amount of Four Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($450,000.00), and shall be evidenced by a promissory grid note (the "Note") with appropriate insertions of names, dates and amounts. The Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to ten percent (10.00%).

Interest shall be due and payable, in arrears on the Maturity Date (as hereinafter defined); (b) The Loans made by Lender to the Company pursuant to this Paragraph 2 shall be recorded in an account on the books of Lender bearing the Company's name (the "Company's Account"). There shall also be recorded in the Company's Account all payments made by the Company on the Loans and interest accrued thereon. (c) The outstanding principal amount owed hereunder, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable in full on the earlier of (i) the closing of an initial public offering of the Company's securities and (ii) March 3, 2002 (the "Maturity Date"); (d) Maker shall have the right to prepay the outstanding principal amount of this Note, in whole or in part at any time. (e) The provisions of this Paragraph 2 shall continue in effect until the Maturity Date, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Lender's obligations to advance Loans to the Company pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 2 shall cease upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in Paragraph 3 hereof) until such time as said Event of Default is cured.

• Amount and Terms of the Loan The Loan. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Purchaser agrees to lend to the Company at the Closing (as hereinafter defined) the amount set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on the Schedule of Purchasers attached to this Agreement (each, a “Loan Amount”) against the issuance and delivery by the Company of a convertible promissory note for such amount, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”).
