The term “merge” set forth in Section 5.7 shall include any Statutory Division and Section 5.20 shall include any Material Domestic Subsidiary resulting from a Statutory Division.”

(e) Section 2.11 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new clause (d) at the end of such Section as follows:

(f) Section 5.1 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new clause (q) at the end of such Section as follows:

(h) Article 10 of the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new Section 10.18 thereto and in connection therewith the table of contents shall be amended to include a reference to “SECTION 10.18 Certain ERISA Matters”:

“SECTION 10.18 Certain ERISA Matters.

(a) Each Bank (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Bank party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Bank party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Bank party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(i) such Bank is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Bank’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments;

(ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Bank’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement;

(iii) (A) such Bank is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Bank to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Bank, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Bank’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement; or

(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Bank.

(b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Bank or (2) a Bank has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Bank further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Bank party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Bank party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Bank party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, that none of the Administrative Agent, any Arranger and their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Bank

involved in such Bank’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Credit Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).”

(i) Schedule I to the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the “Revolving Credit Commitment” column with the amounts set forth on Schedule I attached hereto with respect to each applicable Bank, and the heading of such column is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following parenthetical: “(as of the Third Amendment Effective Date)”.

Effective as of the Third Amendment Effective Date, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Banks is hereby reduced to $1,072,420,036.25, which such reduction shall be applied on a pro rata basis to reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment of each applicable Bank holding a Revolving Credit Commitment as of the Third Amendment Effective Date such that the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Bank on the Third Amendment Effective Date shall be as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto.

SECTION 4. Consent Effective Date Conditions. The consent set forth in Section 1 shall become effective on the date when the following conditions shall have been satisfied or waived (such date, the “Consent Effective Date”):

(a) The Administrative Agent’s receipt of this Amendment, duly executed by an authorized officer of each signing Credit Party, the Consenting Banks constituting Required Banks and the Administrative Agent.

(b) The fact that immediately prior to and after giving effect to this Amendment, no Default has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 7. Limited Effect. Except as provided herein, the Existing Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect.

(b) Except as specifically provided above, the Credit Documents shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. The execution, delivery, and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power, or remedy of the Administrative Agent or any Bank under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, nor constitute a waiver or modification of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document. This Amendment is a Credit Document and is subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement.
