Credit Agreement Amendments The Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
Waiver; Amendment Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, no amendment or waiver of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party to be bound thereby. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other provision nor shall any waiver of any provision of this Agreement constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.
Incremental Amendment Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments shall become Commitments (or in the case of an Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment to be provided by an existing Revolving Credit Lender, an increase in such Lender’s applicable Revolving Credit Commitment), under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Incremental Lender providing such Commitments and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Loan Party, Agent or Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.14. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments as determined by the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments.

AMENDMENT AGREEMENT The Global Custody Agreement of January 3, 1994, (the “Custody Agreement”), as amended from time to time, by and between each of the Entities listed in Schedule A, as amended thereto, severally and not jointly (each such entity referred to hereinafter as the “Customer”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, whose contracts have been assumed by JPMORGAN CHASE BANK (the “Bank”) is hereby further amended, as of April 21, 2011 (the “Amendment Agreement”). Terms defined in the Custody Agreement are used herein as therein defined.
Amendment and Restatement of Existing Credit Agreement Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated to read in its entirety as set forth herein. With effect from and including the Effective Date, (i) the Commitments of each Lender party hereto shall be as set forth on Appendix A (and (a) to the extent that such Lender constitutes a lender under the Existing Credit Agreement (a “Consenting Lender”), such Consenting Lender’s commitment thereunder shall be terminated and replaced with its respective Commitment hereunder and (b) any lender under the Existing Credit Agreement that is not listed on Appendix A shall cease to be a Lender hereunder and its commitment thereunder shall be terminated; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, such lender under the Existing Credit Agreement shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.03 of the Existing Credit Agreement), (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest and fees and other amounts owing under the Existing Credit Agreement shall have been paid by the Borrower under the Existing Credit Agreement, whether or not such interest, fees or other amounts would otherwise be due and payable at such time pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement, (iii) the Commitment Ratio of the Consenting Lenders shall be redetermined based on the Commitments set forth in the Appendix A and the participations of the Consenting Lenders in, and the obligations of the Consenting Lenders in respect of, any Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans outstanding on the Effective Date shall be reallocated to reflect such redetermined Commitment Ratio and (iv) each JLA Issuing Bank shall have the Fronting Sublimit set forth in Appendix B.
Waiver; Amendments (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and no course of dealing between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or any Lender, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by subsection (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.
(b) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents, nor consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Borrower and the Required Lenders, or the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders, and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that, in addition to the consent of the Required Lenders, no amendment, waiver or consent shall:
(i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender;
(ii) increase the Borrowing Base without the written consent of each Lender;
(iii) modify Section 2.4 in any manner without the consent of each Lender; provided that a Scheduled Redetermination may be postponed by the Required Lenders;
(iv) 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 entitled to such payment;
(v) postpone the date fixed for any payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan or LC Disbursement or any fees hereunder or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, without the written consent of each Lender entitled to such payment, or postpone the scheduled date for the termination or reduction of the Commitment of any Lender, without the written consent of such Lender;
(vi) change Section 2.20(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender;
(vii) change any of the provisions of this subsection (b) or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of this Agreement specifying the number or percentage of Lenders which are required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the consent of each Lender;
(viii) release all or substantially all of the guarantors, or limit the liability of such guarantors, under any guaranty agreement guaranteeing any of the Obligations, without the written consent of each Lender; or
(ix) release all or substantially all collateral (if any) securing any of the Obligations, without the written consent of each Lender; provided, further, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights, duties or obligations of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank without the prior written consent of such Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended, and amounts payable to such Lender hereunder may not be permanently reduced, without the consent of such Lender (other than reductions in fees and interest in which such reduction does not disproportionately affect such Lender). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended and restated without the consent of any Lender (but with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) if, upon giving effect to such amendment and restatement, such Lender shall no longer be a party to this Agreement (as so amended and restated), the Commitments of such Lender shall have terminated (but such Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.17, 2.18, 2.19 and 10.3), such Lender shall have no other commitment or other obligation hereunder and such Lender shall have been paid in full all principal, interest and other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement.
Agreement Amendment If either party hereto requests to amend this agreement, it shall notify the other party in writing, and the other party shall respond within one week. All amendments of this agreement must be made in writing by both parties, and such amendments shall be deemed as inseverable parts of this agreement.
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (a) This Agreement shall amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Existing Credit Agreement is merged and incorporated into this Agreement and (b) this Agreement shall supersede and control any inconsistent provision in the Existing Credit Agreement. All references in the Loan Documents (including the Existing Loan Documents) to the Existing Credit Agreement are hereby modified and shall now be deemed to refer to this Agreement. All references in the Loan Documents (including the Existing Loan Documents) to the Obligations, the Notes, the Loan Documents and other terms defined herein are hereby modified and shall now be deemed to refer to such terms and items as defined or described in this Agreement. The Guaranty shall guarantee the Notes and the Guaranteed Obligations as defined and described in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing and in confirmation of the Liens intended to be granted pursuant to the Loan Documents (including any Existing Loan Documents), each Loan Party grants, conveys, and assigns to the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Lenders, a lien against and security interest in all collateral (if any) described in such Loan Documents as security for the Guaranteed Obligations. Except as modified hereby or by any other Loan Document (whether dated as of or prior to the Agreement Date) which expressly modifies any of the Existing Loan Documents, all of the terms and provisions of the Existing Loan Documents (including schedules and exhibits thereto), and the indebtedness, duties and obligations thereunder, are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall remain in full force and effect. This Agreement shall not, however, constitute a novation of the Loan Parties’ indebtedness, duties and obligations under or with respect to the Existing Loan Documents, the Existing Loans thereunder or the Existing Letters of Credit issued thereunder.
(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, on the Agreement Date (i) all outstanding Existing Loans shall continue to be Revolving Loans hereunder and each applicable Existing Lender shall be deemed to sell, and each New Lender and each Existing Lender whose Revolving Commitments are increasing on the Agreement Date shall be deemed to purchase, an interest therein as required to establish Revolving Loans for each of the Revolving Lenders based on such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage, and the Administrative Agent shall make such transfers of funds as are necessary in order that the outstanding balances of such Revolving Loans and any other Revolving Loans funded on the Agreement Date, reflect the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders hereunder; (ii) all Existing Letters of Credit shall continue to be Letters of Credit hereunder and each applicable Existing Lender that is a Revolving Lender shall be deemed to sell, and each New Lender and each Existing Lender whose Revolving Commitments are increasing on the Agreement Date shall be deemed to purchase, an interest therein as required to establish the Letter of Credit participations therein in accordance with its respective Revolving Commitment Percentage; (iii) there shall have been credited to the Existing Lenders all accrued but unpaid interest due on the Existing Loans and Existing Letters of Credit to but excluding the Agreement Date; and (iv) there shall have been credited to the Existing Lenders all accrued but unpaid fees under the Existing Loans and Existing Letters of Credit owing to but excluding the Agreement Date and all other amounts, costs and expenses then owing to any of the Existing Lenders and/or the Administrative Agent under the Existing Loan Agreement, regardless of whether such amounts would otherwise be due and payable at such time pursuant to the terms of the Existing Loan Agreement.
(c) On the Effective Date, the commitment of each Lender that is a party to the Existing Credit Agreement, but not a party to this Agreement (other than for purposes of this Section 13.22) (an “Exiting Lender”), shall be terminated, all outstanding obligations owing to such Exiting Lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement on the Effective Date shall be paid in full as provided in this Section, and each Exiting Lender shall cease to be a Lender under this Agreement; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything else provided herein or otherwise, any rights of an Exiting Lender under the Loan Documents that are intended by their express terms to survive termination of the Revolving Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of obligations under any Loan Document shall survive for such Exiting Lender hereunder.
Exclusive Agreement; Amendment This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements or understandings among the parties with respect to its subject matter with respect thereto and cannot be changed or terminated orally.
