Each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars or in a Foreign Currency. The face or stated amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $100,000 (or the Exchange Equivalent thereof determined as of the date of issuance) or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the applicable Issuing Lender.

The Applicant Party will, at its expense, promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such further documents and do such other acts and

things as the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Lender may reasonably request in order to effect fully the purposes of this Section 2.07(c).

(d) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender and the Applicant Party when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

SECTION 2.08. Participations in Letters of Credit.

Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit (or upon a Person becoming a Lender hereunder), in each case without any further action on the part of the Issuing Lenders or the Lenders, the applicable Issuing Lender hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the applicable Issuing Lender, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each such Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the applicable Issuing Lender and not reimbursed for any reason by the Applicant Party on the date due as provided in Section 2.09 hereof, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Applicant Party for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations and make payments pursuant to this paragraph in respect of each Letter of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever (other than the issuance of any Letter of Credit in excess of the amounts described in Section 2.07(a) as of the date of issuance and other than amendments to any Letter of Credit in violation of Section 8.05 to provide for an Expiration Date subsequent to the Maturity Date), including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or such participation or payment exceeding such Lender’s Commitments or the Aggregate Commitments by reason of currency fluctuations, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

SECTION 2.09. Reimbursement in Respect of Letters of Credit.

(a) Reimbursement Obligations. If any Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement, such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Applicant Party of such LC Disbursement, and the Applicant Party shall reimburse such Issuing Lender in an amount equal to such LC Disbursement by paying such Issuing Lender in Dollars an amount equal to such LC Disbursement (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof, as applicable): (i) not later than 12:00 noon (San Francisco time) on the Business Day immediately following the date that such Issuing Lender notifies the Applicant Party that such LC Disbursement is made by such Issuing Lender or (ii), if the Applicant Party shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement later than 12:00 noon (San Francisco time) on any Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day, not later than 12:00 noon (San Francisco time) on the second immediately following Business Day. If the Applicant Party fails to make such payment under this paragraph at the time specified in the preceding sentence, (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred upon such failure to make payment, (ii) the applicable Issuing Lender shall notify each Lender and the Administrative Agent of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment in Dollars then due from the Applicant Party in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof and (iii) each Lender shall forthwith pay to the applicable Issuing Lender in Dollars its Applicable Percentage of the

unreimbursed LC Disbursement (x) not later than 12:00 noon (San Francisco time) on the Business Day that such Issuing Lender provides such notice of such LC Disbursement to each Lender and the Administrative Agent (if such notice is provided by 8:00 a.m. (San Francisco time)) and (y) not later than 12:00 noon (San Francisco time) on the Business Day immediately following the date that such Issuing Lender provides such notice (if such notice is provided after 8:00 a.m. (San Francisco time)). The amounts set forth in such notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error. If any amount required to be paid by any Lender in respect of an unreimbursed LC Disbursement pursuant to this Section 2.09 is not made available to the applicable Issuing Lender by such Lender on the date such payment is due (the “due date”), the applicable Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from the due date at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Promptly following receipt by the applicable Issuing Lender of any payment from the Applicant Party pursuant to this Section 2.09, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this Section 2.09 to reimburse such Issuing Lender, then such Issuing Lender shall distribute such payment received from the Applicant Party to such Lenders as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any Issuing Lender for any LC Disbursement shall not relieve the Applicant Party of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligations under this Section 2.09 shall survive the payment by the Applicant Party of all LC Disbursements and any termination of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that any reimbursement of an LC Disbursement by the Applicant Party to any Issuing Lender is required to be repaid to the Applicant Party (pursuant to a proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise), then the applicable Issuing Lender shall continue to be entitled to recover from each Lender, on demand, the portion of such repaid amount as shall be determined in accordance with this Section 2.09.

(b) Obligations Absolute. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Applicant Party’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 2.09(a) 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 or herein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by any Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that the Applicant Party or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof may at any time have against any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, any Credit Party or any other Person, whether under this Agreement or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction, or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.09, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Applicant Party’s obligations hereunder. The Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall not 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 (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence

arising from causes beyond the control of any Issuing Lender. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in each determination relating to the foregoing. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

The applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Applicant Party by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Lender has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Applicant Party of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Lender or the obligations of the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(b) Reporting. Each Issuing Lender shall, no later than the tenth (10th) Business Day following the last day of each month, provide to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall forward to the Lenders) schedules, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, showing the date of issue, account party, applicable currency, amount in such currency and Expiration Date for each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender hereunder and outstanding at any time during such month.

SECTION 2.11. Interest on LC Disbursements and Reimbursement of Other Amounts.

In the event the Applicant Party fails to reimburse any applicable Issuing Lender in full for any LC Disbursement by the time prescribed in Section 2.09(a), an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing until such reimbursement is made, (i) the unpaid or unreimbursed 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 Applicant Party reimburses such LC Disbursement, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (x) the Letter of Credit Fee and (y) the Base Rate plus 2.0%, and (ii) the Applicant Party shall also reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender upon demand for any losses incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with changes in the foreign exchange rates as a result of the Applicant Party’s failure to reimburse such LC Disbursement by the time prescribed in Section 2.09(a). Interest accrued pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(a) to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

SECTION 2.12. Cash Collateralization.

(a) Deposit of Collateral Upon an Event of Default. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then on the Business Day that the Applicant Party receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable, demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Applicant Party shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash in Dollars equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid fees thereon; provided that (i) 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 described in paragraph (g) or (h) of Section 6.01 and (ii) the Applicant Party shall be obligated, from time to time and upon demand by the Administrative Agent, to deposit additional amounts into said account in cash in Dollars as necessary to maintain an amount on deposit equal to the amount (including, with respect to LC Exposure denominated in Foreign Currencies, the Dollar Equivalent thereof) of the total aggregate LC Exposure plus any accrued and unpaid fees thereon (as determined at any time).

(b) Deposit of Collateral for Foreign Exchange Differential. In addition to the foregoing, if on any Computation Date (as defined below): the Dollar Equivalent of aggregate LC Exposure exceeds the Aggregate Commitments (any such excess amount, the “Excess”) by, in any case, $10,000,000 or more, the Administrative Agent shall provide notice thereof to the Applicant Party and demand the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph. On the Business Day on which the Applicant Party receives such notice, the Applicant Party shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, an amount in cash in Dollars equal to the full amount of such Excess; provided that the Applicant Party shall be obligated, from time to time and upon demand by the Administrative Agent, to deposit additional amounts into said account in cash in Dollars as necessary to maintain an amount on deposit equal to the Excess (as determined at any time). The Administrative Agent shall produce copies of any calculations or reports relating to the foregoing upon written request from the Applicant Party or any Lender. The Administrative Agent may, and at the instruction of the Required Lenders shall, undertake such calculations at any time; provided that in any event the Administrative Agent shall undertake such calculations at least once per calendar quarter, and the Administrative Agent shall not be required to undertake such calculations more frequently than once per calendar month without its consent. Each day upon or as of which the Administrative Agent undertakes the calculations described above in this Section 2.12(b) is referred to herein as a “Computation Date”.

(c) Deposit of Collateral for Defaulting Lenders. In addition to the foregoing, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender and while any LC Exposure exists, for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender and such LC Exposure exists, then within two (2) Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Applicant Party shall (i) deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, and/or (ii) subject to the following proviso (2), provide Permitted Cover, in each case an amount in cash in Dollars equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate LC Exposure as of such date; provided that (1) the Applicant Party shall be obligated, from time to time and within two (2) Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent demanding the deposit of additional cash collateral and/or Permitted Cover pursuant to this paragraph, to deposit additional amounts into said account in cash in Dollars, and/or to provide

additional Permitted Cover, in each case as necessary to maintain an amount on deposit and/or Permitted Cover equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentage of the then aggregate LC Exposure and (2) the foregoing option to provide Permitted Cover in lieu of cash collateral shall only be available to the Applicant Party for a period not to exceed one (1) month after such notice by the Administrative Agent demanding deposit of cash collateral and upon the expiration of such period, the Applicant Party shall deposit cash collateral in the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure as contemplated by this clause (c) and the failure to provide such deposit shall constitute an Event of Default. Payment by the Applicant Party of such cash collateral or provision of Permitted Cover shall not relieve the Defaulting Lender of its obligations hereunder, and the Applicant Party shall retain all of its rights and remedies hereunder and under applicable law against any such Defaulting Lender.

(d) Cash Collateral Accounts. Each deposit and Permitted Cover under Sections 2.12(a), (b) and (c) shall be held by the Administrative Agent (subject to Section 7.09) as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Applicant Party under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. If required by the Administrative Agent, the Applicant Party shall enter into any pledge or security agreement and UCC financing statement with respect to such cash collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably require. Such deposits shall be invested in Permitted Investments selected by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. All losses and expenses incurred as a result of such activities shall be for the account of the Applicant Party. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such accounts. Moneys in such accounts may be applied by the Administrative Agent (at its sole discretion) (i) to reimburse each Issuing Lender for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed; and (ii) to the extent not so applied, may be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Applicant Party for the LC Exposure at such time or any other Obligations or to cover any losses in respect of any Excess, provided that moneys in such accounts relating to the Applicant Party’s obligations under Section 2.12(c) shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Lenders on a ratable basis for the applicable Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage of LC Disbursements for which the Issuing Lenders have not been reimbursed. If the Applicant Party is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, and all Defaults are subsequently cured or waived and no Excess is then in existence, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Applicant Party within three Business Days after request therefor by the Applicant Party. If the Applicant Party is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of any Excess, and the Administrative Agent shall subsequently determine that the amount of such Excess is equal to or less than the amount on deposit in respect of the existence of such Excess, provided there is no Default then in existence, such excess amount of cash, if greater than $1,000,000 (to the extent not applied as aforesaid), shall be returned to the Applicant Party within three (3) Business Days after request therefor by the Applicant Party. If the Applicant Party is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of any Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender, and such Lender ceases to be a Defaulting Lender or the LC Exposure is subsequently reduced such that the amount of cash collateral provided therefor exceeds such Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the LC Exposure, such cash collateral (or excess amount of cash collateral, if applicable), to the extent not previously applied to the Defaulting Lender’s obligations hereunder, shall be returned to the Applicant Party within three (3) Business Days after request therefor by the Applicant Party.

(e) Custody of Cash Collateral. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof and investment of cash collateral deposits pursuant to the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty as to any cash collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the cash collateral in its possession if the cash collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the cash collateral or for any diminution in the value thereof by reason of the act or omission of any agent or bailee selected by the Administrative Agent in good faith. All expenses and liabilities incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with taking, holding and disposing of any cash collateral (including customary custody and similar fees with respect to any cash collateral held directly by the Administrative Agent), shall be paid by the Applicant Party from time to time upon demand.

SECTION 2.13. Obligations.

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the Applicant Party and each Lender shall continue to be bound by all of its obligations hereunder, including without limitation, its obligations under Sections 2.08 and 2.09, until such time as each Letter of Credit has expired and no further Obligation, LC Exposure or Commitment exists.

SECTION 2.14. General Provisions as to Payments.

(a) Manner and Time of Payment. The Applicant Party shall make each payment hereunder (including, without limitation, in respect of the LC Disbursements), and interest thereon, and all fees due in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in Dollars in Federal or other funds immediately available in San Francisco, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 8.01(a). Whenever any such payment shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or additional compensation. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time. Any payment made by the Applicant Party after 12:00 noon (San Francisco time) on any day shall be deemed to have been made on the next Business Day for the purpose of calculating interest on amounts outstanding in respect of any Obligations. All payments required to be made by the Applicant Party hereunder shall be made in Dollars and shall be made without setoff or counterclaim.

(b) Application of Payments to Principal and Interest. All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Obligations hereunder shall include payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments (and, in any event, any payments in respect of any Obligations on a date when interest is due and payable with respect to such Obligations) shall be applied to the payment of interest before application to principal.

(c) Apportionment of Payments. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its ratable share of each payment received by the Administrative Agent which is for the account of the Lenders.

(d) Application of Funds. (i) All payments received from the Applicant Party by the Administrative Agent which are not reasonably identifiable by the Administrative Agent shall be applied by the Administrative Agent against the Obligations, and (ii) any amounts received on account of the Obligations after the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 6.02 (or after the LC Exposure has automatically been required to be cash collateralized as set forth in the proviso to Section 6.02), in each case in the following order of priority: (A) to the payment of all amounts for which the Administrative Agent is entitled to compensation, reimbursement and indemnification under any Credit Document and all advances made by the Administrative Agent thereunder for the account of the Applicant Party, and to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the Credit Documents, all in accordance with Sections 7.06 and 8.03 and the other terms of this Agreement and the Credit Documents; (B) thereafter, to the extent of any excess such proceeds, to the payment of all other Obligations for the ratable benefit of the holders thereof (subject to the provisions of Section 2.14(b) hereof); and (C) thereafter, to the extent of any excess such proceeds, to the Applicant Party or as otherwise required by applicable law.

(e) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to fund participations in Letters of Credit and to make payments pursuant to Section 7.06 are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 7.06 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 7.06.

SECTION 2.15. Computation of Interest and Fees.

Interest on all amounts owed hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Base Rate (calculated at other than the Federal Funds Rate or the Eurodollar Rate) shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days or, if appropriate, 366 days, and in each case all interest hereunder shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All fees due and payable hereunder shall, unless expressly otherwise provided for, be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed.

SECTION 2.16. Taxes; Net Payments.

(a) Net Payments. Any and all payments by the Applicant Party under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all current or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and all liabilities with respect thereto excluding (i) income taxes imposed on the net income of any Credit Party; and (ii) franchise taxes imposed on the net income of any Credit Party, in each case by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Credit Party is organized, domiciled, resident or doing business or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities, collectively or individually, “Taxes”). If the Applicant Party shall be required to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to a Lender (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount (an “additional amount”) necessary so that after making all required deductions such Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Applicant Party shall make such deductions and (iii) the Applicant Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant

governmental authority in accordance with applicable law. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes pursuant to this paragraph (a), the Applicant Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent a receipt issued by the relevant Governmental Authority or other evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent of payment thereof. The Applicant Party will indemnify each Lender (subject to such Lender having complied with paragraph (b) below) and hold each Lender harmless for the full amount of all Taxes paid or payable by such Lender with respect to this Agreement and any and all amounts received by such Lender hereunder, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses)) arising therefrom or with respect thereto whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared by such Lender, absent manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. The obligations of the Applicant Party under this Section 2.16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Commitments and the payment of all amounts payable under the Credit Documents.

(b) Evidence of Exemption from Withholding. Each Lender which is a foreign corporation within the meaning of Section 1442 of the Code, including the Administrative Agent acting as an intermediary or agent for such a Lender (each, a “Foreign Lender”), shall deliver to the Applicant Party such certificates, documents or other evidence as the Applicant Party may reasonably require from time to time as are necessary to establish that such Foreign Lender is not subject to withholding under Section 1441 or 1442 of the Code or as may be necessary to establish, under any law hereafter imposing upon the Applicant Party, an obligation to withhold any portion of the payments made by the Applicant Party under the Credit Documents, that payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Foreign Lender are not subject to withholding, in any event to include: (i) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form X-0XXX, X-0XXX or W-8IMY, as appropriate (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Foreign Lender, and such other documentation required under the Code and reasonably requested by the Applicant Party, to establish that such Foreign Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Foreign Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Credit Documents, or (ii) if such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” or other Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (to the extent such form would document a claim or exemption from withholding pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty) or W-8ECI or W-8IMY pursuant to clause (i) above, a Certificate re Non-Bank Status together with two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form) (to the extent such forms document the status of the Foreign Lender as other than a United States Person), properly completed and duly executed by such Foreign Lender, and such other documentation required under the Code and reasonably requested by the Applicant Party to establish that such Foreign Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Foreign Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Credit Documents. If the form provided by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, interest withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from “Taxes” as defined in Section 2.16(a).

SECTION 2.17. Increased Costs.

(a) Change in Law, Etc. In the event that any law, regulation, treaty or directive hereafter enacted, promulgated, approved or issued or any change in any currently existing law, regulation, treaty or directive therein or in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof or compliance by any Credit Party (or any Person directly or indirectly owning or controlling such Credit Party) with any request or directive, whether or not having the force of law, from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, agency or instrumentality:

(i) does or shall subject any Credit Party to any Taxes of any kind whatsoever with respect to its obligations under this Agreement to make, fund or maintain any Letter of Credit or participation therein, or its obligations under this Agreement to issue a Letter of Credit or participate therein, or change the basis of taxation of payments to any Credit Party of principal, interest or any other amount payable hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit or participations therein, including any Taxes required to be withheld from any amounts payable under the Credit Documents (except for imposition of, or change in the rate of, tax on the overall net income of such Credit Party or its Lending Office by the jurisdiction in which such Credit Party is incorporated or has its principal office or such Lending Office, including, in the case of Credit Parties incorporated in any State of the United States such tax imposed by the United States); or

(ii) does or shall impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, assessment, increased cost or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Credit Party in respect of any Letter of Credit or participations therein (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the definition of Eurodollar Rate);

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Credit Party of agreeing to make or of making, issuing, renewing, creating or maintaining any Letter of Credit or participation therein, or its commitment to lend or to issue or create any such Letter of Credit or participate therein, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit or participation therein, then, in any such case, the Applicant Party shall pay such Credit Party, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Credit Party for such additional cost or reduction in such amount receivable which such Credit Party deems to be material as determined by such Credit Party. A statement setting forth the calculations of any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by a Credit Party to the Applicant Party shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The obligations of the Applicant Party under this Section 2.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Commitments and payment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Documents. Failure to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall not constitute a waiver of such Credit Party’s right to demand such compensation. To the extent that any increased costs of the type referred to in this Section 2.17 are being incurred by a Credit Party and such costs can be eliminated or reduced by the transfer of such Credit Party’s participation or Commitment to another of its branches, and to the extent that such transfer is not inconsistent with such Credit Party’s internal policies of general application and only if, as determined by such Credit Party in its sole discretion, the transfer of such participation or Commitment, as the case may be, would

not otherwise materially adversely affect such participation or such Credit Party, the Applicant Party may request, and such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to effect, such transfer.

(b) Capital Adequacy. If after the date hereof, any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Lending Office) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within 10 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Applicant Party shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.

(c) Notification. Each Lender will promptly notify the Applicant Party and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.17. A certificate of any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 2.17 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 2.18. Illegality.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue a Letter of Credit or agree to any extension or amendment thereof if such issuance, creation, extension or amendment would conflict with, or cause any Issuing Lender to exceed any limits imposed by, any law or requirements of any applicable Governmental Authority.

SECTION 2.19. Fees.

(a) The Applicant Party agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to the sum of (i) the product of the Applicable Rate then in effect (as set forth in the column titled “Applicable Rate for Commitment Fee” in the grid set forth in the Applicable Rate definition) times the average daily amount by which (x) the Aggregate Commitments in effect from time to time exceed (y) the Utilization from time to time, plus, if any Escalating LC is then outstanding, (ii) the product of (x) the Applicable Rate then in effect (as set forth in the column titled “Applicable Rate for Commitment Fee” in the grid set forth in the Applicable Rate definition) multiplied by 150% times (y) the difference between (I) the maximum amount (after giving effect to all possible increases) available to be drawn under all Escalating LCs and (II) the amount then available to be drawn under all Escalating LCs. The Commitment Fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article III is not met, and shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year,

commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period.

(b) The Applicant Party agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a letter of credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”), calculated daily with respect to such Lender’s participations in Letters of Credit issued hereunder, equal to the product of (i) the Applicable Rate then in effect (as set forth in the column titled “Applicable Rate for Letter of Credit Fee” in the grid set forth in the definition of Applicable Rate) times (ii) the actual daily maximum face or stated amount of each Letter of Credit outstanding (in the case of any Escalating LC, such amount shall equal the amount then available to be drawn under such Escalating LC). Letter of Credit Fees payable pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which all Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which all Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. The sum of each daily calculation, if in a currency other than Dollars, shall be converted to the Dollar Equivalent thereof on the date the applicable payment is due.

(c) The Applicant Party agrees to pay directly to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, at the rate per annum separately agreed upon between the Applicant Party and such Issuing Lender, computed on the maximum face or stated amount of such Letter of Credit (in the case of any Escalating LC, such amount shall equal the amount then available to be drawn under such Escalating LC) on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee payable to any Issuing Lender shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which all Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which all Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. In addition, the Applicant Party shall pay directly to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, such Issuing Lender’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon.

(d) In addition to any of the foregoing fees, the Applicant Party agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger and their Affiliates such other fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon.

(e) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the applicable Issuing Lender, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of Commitment Fees and Letter of Credit Fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances. Any fee not due on a specific date shall be due on demand.

SECTION 2.20. Evidence of Debt.

(a) Intentionally Omitted.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Applicant Party to each Lender hereunder and (ii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) 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 Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Applicant Party to repay the LC Disbursements in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.21. Use of Proceeds.

No portion of the proceeds of any borrowing under this Agreement shall be used by the Applicant Party or any of its Subsidiaries in any manner that might cause the borrowing or the application of such proceeds to violate Regulation U or any other regulation of the FRB or to violate the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time, and any successor statute, in each case as in effect on the date or dates of such borrowing and such use of proceeds.

SECTION 2.22. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) if any LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Applicant Party shall within two (2) Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize or (to the extent permitted by Section 2.12(c)) provide Permitted Cover for such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.12 for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(b) the Commitment and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 8.05), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification extending or increasing the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender or reducing the principal of any LC Disbursement made by such Defaulting Lender shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

(c) if the Applicant Party cash collateralizes or provides (to the extent permitted by Section 2.12(c)) Permitted Cover for any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to the foregoing clause (a), the Applicant Party shall not be required to pay the Letter of Credit Fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.19(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized or covered by Permitted Cover; and

(d) no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that cash collateral or (to the extent permitted by Section 2.12(c)) Permitted Cover will be provided by the Applicant Party in accordance with the foregoing clause (a).

SECTION 2.23. Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.17, or if the Applicant Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender does not consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or modification with respect to any Credit Document that requires the consent of each Lender and that has been approved by the Required Lenders, then the Applicant Party may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 8.06), without recourse, all of their interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Credit Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a) the Applicant Party shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 8.06(b);

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding amount of its LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Credit Documents from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding LC Disbursements and accrued interest and fees) or the Applicant Party (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.17 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable laws.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Applicant Party to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Applicant Party to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Applicant Party and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 8.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 7.09. Agent With Respect to Cash Collateral Accounts.

Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of Lenders, to be the agent for and representative of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders with respect to any cash collateral accounts. Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Applicant Party, the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Lender hereby agree that no Lender or Issuing Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any cash collateral accounts, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, in accordance with the terms hereof. In furtherance, and not by limitation, of the foregoing, without written consent or authorization from the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, release any Lien encumbering any of the cash collateral and execute any documents or instruments necessary to accomplish any of the foregoing.

SECTION 7.10. No Other Duties, etc.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Sole Lead Arranger or the Joint Book Managers listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender hereunder.

(a) Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone, all notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including telecopy and including electronic mail and Internet or intranet websites such as IntraLinks to the extent provided in Section 8.01(b)) and shall be given to such party at its address, telecopy number or electronic mail address set forth on the signature pages hereof or such other address, telecopy number or electronic mail address as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Applicant Party. Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by mail, 72 hours after such communication is deposited in the mails with first class postage prepaid, addressed as aforesaid, (ii) if given by telecopy, when such telecopy has been received by the addressee thereof, (iii) if delivered through electronic communications (including electronic mail and Internet or intranet websites such as IntraLinks) to the extent provided in Section 8.01(b) below, as provided in such Section 8.01(b) or (iv) if given by any other means, when delivered at the address specified in this Section 8.01(a); provided that notices to the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender under Article II shall not be effective until received. The Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders shall not be liable for any errors in transmission or the illegibility of any telecopied documents. In the event the Applicant Party sends the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender a manually signed confirmation of previously sent facsimile instructions, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders shall have no duty to compare it against the previous instructions received by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lenders nor shall the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender have any responsibility should the contents or the written confirmation differ from the facsimile instructions acted upon by the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender.

(b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites such as IntraLinks) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that (i) the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or the Issuing Lenders pursuant to Article II if such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication and (ii) in the case of notices and other communications posted to an Internet or intranet website (such as IntraLinks), notice thereof shall be sent to each intended recipient at its e-mail address that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor. The Administrative Agent or the Applicant Party may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

SECTION 8.02. No Waivers.

No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall

operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

SECTION 8.03. Expenses; Taxes; Indemnification.

(a) Expenses. The Applicant Party agrees to pay on demand: (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Sole Lead Arranger (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Lender in connection with the issuance, creation, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Letters of Credit.

(b) Taxes. The Applicant Party shall pay any and all transfer taxes, documentary taxes, recording taxes, stamp taxes, excise taxes or similar taxes or assessments or other charges payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of the Credit Documents and any other documents to be delivered under the Credit Documents (but excluding taxes imposed on the net income of any Lender), and agrees to save the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from the Applicant Party’s delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes.

(c) Indemnification; Waiver of Consequential Damages. The Applicant Party agrees to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as such), each Issuing Lender (in its capacity as such), each Lender, the Sole Lead Arranger and the Joint Book Managers and their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, claims, damages, liabilities, disbursements and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses, which may include the allocated cost of internal counsel, and settlement costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether direct, indirect or consequential, and whether based on any federal, state or foreign laws, statutes, rules or regulations, on common law or equitable cause or on contract or otherwise, which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Indemnitees in any way related to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (collectively, “Losses”), except any such Losses (i) resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitees or (ii) resulting from a claim brought by the Applicant Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Credit Document, if the Applicant Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its

favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that nothing in this Section 8.03(c) shall obligate the Applicant Party to pay the normal expenses of the Administrative Agent in the administration of this Agreement in the absence of pending or threatened litigation or other proceedings or the claims or threatened claims of others and then only to the extent arising therefrom.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Applicant Party shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in this Section 8.03(c) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(d) Intentionally Omitted.

(e) Survival. The obligations of the Applicant Party under this Section 8.03 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments hereunder and payment of the Obligations.

SECTION 8.04. Sharing of Set-Offs.

Each Lender agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to any Obligations owing to such Lender which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to Obligations owing to such other Lender, the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the LC Exposure of the other Lenders, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be shared by the Lenders pro rata; provided that nothing in this Section 8.04 shall impair the right of any Lender to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the Applicant Party other than its LC Exposure or other Obligations owing to such Lender. The Applicant Party agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in any LC Exposure, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of the Applicant Party in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a set-off to which this Section 8.04 would apply, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section 8.04 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim. The Applicant Party hereby authorizes BNPP and each other Lender, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.04, to so set-off and apply any and all such deposits held and other indebtedness owing by BNPP or

such other Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Applicant Party and hereby authorizes BNPP and each such other Lender to permit such set-off and application by BNPP or such other Lender; provided that any such set-off rights shall not apply to the accounts or deposits of any of Applicant Party’s foreign Subsidiaries.

SECTION 8.05. Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Applicant Party and the Required Lenders (and, if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender are affected thereby, by the Administrative Agent or each affected Issuing Lender, as the case may be); provided that no such amendment, waiver or modification shall: (i) extend or increase any Commitment of any Lender or subject any Lender to any additional obligation without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal of or rate or amount of interest on any LC Disbursement or any fees without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iii) postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Credit Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) hereunder or under any other Credit Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iv) extend the terms of any Letter of Credit (other than as set forth below) without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (v) amend this Section 8.05 without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) change Section 2.14(c), Section 2.14(d) or Section 8.04 or any other provision of this Agreement in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing or disbursement of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender, or (vii) change the percentage of the Commitments or the number of Lenders which shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action under this Section 8.05 or any other provision of this Agreement without the written consent of each Lender; provided further, that the Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (a) the Expiration Date of any Letter of Credit may be extended with the consent of the applicable Issuing Lender and the Applicant Party to a date not later than the seventh Business Day prior to the Maturity Date, and (b) any Letter of Credit may be amended in any other manner with the consent of the applicable Issuing Lender and the Applicant Party so long as such Letter of Credit, as so amended, complies with Section 2.07 of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.06. Successors and Assigns.

(a) Binding Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Applicant Party may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the consent of each Lender.

(b) Successors and Assigns. (i) Each Lender may assign to one or more banks or other entities all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments and LC Exposure held by it); provided, however, that (A) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement, (B) the aggregate amount of the Commitments and LC Exposure of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment shall (1) not be less than $5,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000 or (2) be the remaining amount of such Lender’s Commitments and LC Exposure, (C) each such assignment

and proposed assignee is subject to the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Applicant Party (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Applicant Party shall not be required with respect to any such assignment by any Lender to (x) an Affiliate of such Lender, (y) an Approved Fund or (z) another Lender, (D) no such assignment shall be made to the Applicant Party or any of the Applicant Party’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (E) no such assignment shall be made to a natural person, (F) no such assignment may be made to a competitor of the Applicant Party and (G) the assigning Lender shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (except in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender). For each assignment, the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, together with such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment and Assumption Agreement may be required to deliver pursuant to Section 2.16. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording by the Administrative Agent, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignor Lender thereunder shall be released from its obligations under the Credit Documents. From and after the effective date of any such assignment (1) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such assignment, have (in addition to any such rights and obligations theretofore held by it) the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder, shall have Commitments equal to the Commitments assigned to it (in addition to any Commitments theretofore held by it), and shall have LC Exposure equal to the LC Exposure assigned to it (in addition to any LC Exposure theretofore held by it) and (2) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such assignment, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination of this Agreement under Section 8.03) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). From time to time, at the request of any Lender, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of the current Commitments of all Lenders.

(c) Sub-Participations. Subject to Section 8.06(d), a Lender may at any time grant sub-participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, and to the extent of any such sub-participation (unless otherwise stated therein and except as provided below) the purchaser of such sub-participation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have the same rights and benefits hereunder as it would have if it were such Lender hereunder; provided, however, 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 Applicant Party, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing 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 pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Applicant Party hereunder, including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such sub-participation agreement may provide that such Lender will not agree to any

modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of Section 8.05 without the consent of the participant. Each Lender agrees to notify the Applicant Party and the Administrative Agent of the amount of each such sub-participation and the identity of each such sub-participant.

(d) Lender Treated as Owner. The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Applicant Party may, for all purposes of this Agreement, treat any Lender as the owner and holder of LC Exposure until written notice of assignment shall have been received by them.

(e) No Right to Greater Payment. No assignee, participant or other transferee of any Lender’s rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.17 than such Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made (i) with the Applicant Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement requiring such Lender to designate a different Lending Office under certain circumstances, or (ii) at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did not exist.

(f) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(g) Certain Pledges. Any 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 pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 8.07. Collateral.

Each of the Lenders represents to the Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders that it in good faith is not relying upon any “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation U) as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

If any provision of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the Applicant Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) the credit facility provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Applicant Party and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Joint Book Managers and the Sole Lead Arranger, on the other hand, and the Applicant Party is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Credit Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, the Administrative Agent, each Joint Book Manager and the Sole Lead Arranger each is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Applicant Party or any of its Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (iii) none of the Administrative Agent, any Joint Book Manager nor the Sole Lead Arranger has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Applicant Party with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document (irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent, any Joint Book Manager or the Sole Lead Arranger has advised or is currently advising the Applicant Party or any of its Affiliates on other matters) and none of the Administrative Agent, any Joint Book Manager nor the Sole Lead Arranger has any obligation to the Applicant Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents; (iv) the Administrative Agent, any Joint Book Manager and the Sole Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Applicant Party and its Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, any Joint Book Manager nor the Sole Lead Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) the Administrative Agent, the Joint Book Managers and the Sole Lead Arranger have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document) and the Applicant Party has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate.

SECTION 8.17. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY 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 ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

SECTION 8.18. Interest Rate Limitation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Credit Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the outstanding LC Disbursements or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Applicant Party. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

SECTION 8.19. Judgment Currency.

(a) If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars into another currency under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used will be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase Dollars with such other currency in the City of San Francisco at 10:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(b) The Applicant Party’s obligations hereunder shall be required to be satisfied in Dollars. The obligation of the Applicant Party in respect of any sum due from it to any Credit Party hereunder will, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than Dollars, be discharged only to the extent the recipient thereof may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase Dollars (after subtracting all expenses incurred in converting such currency to Dollars) with such other currency on the Business Day immediately following such receipt; if the Dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to the recipient in Dollars, the

Each Lender that is subject to the Patriot Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Applicant Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub.

The Applicant Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, provide, to the extent commercially reasonable or required by requirements of law, such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to assist the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act.

EXHIBIT A

FORM OF OPINION OF

COUNSEL FOR THE APPLICANT PARTY

September 16, 2009

To the Lenders,

the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders

Referred to Below

I have acted as counsel for Fluor Corporation, a publicly traded Delaware corporation (the “Applicant Party”), in connection with the Letter of Credit Facility Agreement (the “Letter of Credit Facility Agreement”) dated as of September 16, 2009 among the Applicant Party, the lenders party thereto from time to time, and BNP Paribas, as Administrative Agent and an Issuing Lender. Terms defined in the Letter of Credit Facility Agreement are used herein as therein defined. This opinion is delivered pursuant to Section 3.01(b) of the Letter of Credit Facility Agreement.

I have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments and have conducted such other investigations of fact and law as I have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion. In such examination, except as applied to the Applicant Party with respect to the Letter of Credit Facility Agreement, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as certified, conformed or photostatic copies and the authenticity of such latter documents. As used herein, “to my knowledge” and “of which I am aware” means the conscious awareness of facts or other information by me without independent investigation.

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

1. The Applicant Party is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all corporate powers and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business as now conducted.

2. The execution, delivery and performance by the Applicant Party of the Letter of Credit Facility Agreement are within the Applicant Party’s corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official, and do not contravene or constitute a default under any provision of applicable law or regulation, or of the restated certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Applicant Party, or, to my knowledge after due inquiry, of any material agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon the Applicant Party, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Applicant Party or any of its Subsidiaries.

A-1

3. The Letter of Credit Facility Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Applicant Party and, assuming the due execution and delivery by the other parties thereto, constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Applicant Party, enforceable against the Applicant Party in accordance with its terms, except that enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws, or by equitable principles relating to or limiting the rights of creditors generally.

4. There is no action, suit or proceeding pending against, or to my knowledge threatened against or affecting, the Applicant Party or any of its Subsidiaries before any court or arbitrator, or any governmental body, agency or official, which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Applicant Party and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, taken as in whole, and the Applicant Party’s ability to perform its obligations under the Credit Documents at any time up to and including the Maturity Date, or which in any manner draws into question the legality, validity or enforceability of the Letter of Credit Facility Agreement.

5. Each of the Applicant Party’s Material Subsidiaries is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has all corporate powers and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business as now conducted.

6. The Applicant Party is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

My opinion in paragraph 3 above as to the enforceability of the Letter of Credit Facility Agreement is subject to:

(a) public policy considerations, statutes or court decisions that may limit the rights of a party to obtain indemnification against its own negligence, willful misconduct or unlawful conduct; and

(b) the unenforceability under some circumstances of broadly and vaguely stated waivers or waivers of rights granted by law where the waivers are against public policy or prohibited by law.

I express no opinion with respect to your ability to collect attorneys’ fees and costs in an action involving the Letter of Credit Facility Agreement if you are not the prevailing party in that action. I express no opinion as to any provision in the Letter of Credit Facility Agreement requiring written amendments and waivers insofar as it suggests that oral or other modifications, amendments or waivers could not be effectively agreed upon by the parties or that the doctrine of promissory estoppel might not apply. Finally, I express no opinion as to the effect of non-compliance by you with any state or federal laws or regulation applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Letter of Credit Facility Agreement because of the nature of your business.

The opinions expressed above are limited to the matters governed by the laws of the United States of America, the State of California and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, in each case as they exist as of the date hereof, and I express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. For the purposes of paragraph 3 hereof, I have assumed that the laws of

A-2

the State of New York, which is the governing law of the Letter of Credit Facility Agreement, are the same as the laws of the State of California.

This opinion may not be relied upon by any other party nor may copies be delivered or furnished to any other party nor may all or portions of this opinion be quoted, circulated or referred to in any other document without the Applicant Party’s written consent, except that this opinion may be (i) disclosed to (x) regulatory agencies or authorities having jurisdiction over you that request or require such disclosure, and (y) any participant in or assignee of, or prospective participant in or assignee of, all or any part of your rights or obligations under the Letter of Credit Facility Agreement, and (ii) relied upon by assignees and participants in the LC Exposure or Commitments and by any successor Administrative Agent, in each case as though such assignees or participants or successor Administrative Agent had been an addressee of this opinion on the date hereof. I do not undertake to advise you of any changes in the opinion expressed herein resulting from matters that might come or be brought to my attention after the Closing Date.

Very truly yours,

A-3
