THE CREDITS

2.1 Commitments.

(a) Revolving Loans. Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make Revolving Loans in U.S. Dollars to any Borrower, to participate in Swingline Loans made to any Borrower and to participate in Letters of Credit issued upon the request of any Borrower, in amounts not to exceed in the aggregate at any one time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided that, except as set forth in Section 2.23.1(ii), (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans by such Lender to any Borrower shall not exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans to such Borrower; (ii) such Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit issued for the account of any Borrower shall not exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all LC Obligations of such Borrower; (iii) such Lender’s participation in Swingline Loans to any Borrower shall not exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all Swingline Loans to such Borrower; (iv) for any Borrower, the Outstanding Credit Extensions to such Borrower shall at no time exceed such Borrower’s respective Sublimit and (v) the LC Obligations of all Borrowers collectively shall not at any time exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Within the foregoing limits, each Borrower may from time to time borrow, prepay pursuant to Section 2.9 and reborrow hereunder prior to the Facility Termination Date for such Borrower.

(b) Swingline Loans.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Swingline Lender, in its individual capacity, shall make Swingline Loans in U.S. Dollars to any Borrower from time to time from the Closing Date through, but not including, the Facility Termination Date; provided, that the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans (after giving effect to any amount requested), shall not exceed the Swingline Sublimit. To request a Swingline Loan, a Borrower shall notify the Agent in accordance with Section 2.10 hereof. The Borrowers shall be entitled to borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement.

(ii) The Swingline Lender may, at any time and from time to time, give written notice to the Agent (a “Swingline Borrowing Notice”), on behalf of the applicable Borrower (and each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), requesting that the Lenders (including the Swingline Lender) make Revolving Loans to such Borrower in an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of any Swingline Loan. The Swingline Borrowing Notice shall include the information with respect to each Revolving Loan set forth in Section 2.10. The Swingline Lender shall provide a copy of any such notice to the applicable Borrower. Subject to Section 2.23.1(ii), each Lender shall make a Revolving Loan in same day funds in an amount equal to its respective Pro Rata Share of Revolving Loans as required to repay the Swingline Loan outstanding to the Swingline Lender promptly upon receipt of a Swingline Borrowing Notice but in no event later than 1:00 p.m. on the next succeeding Business Day after such Swingline Borrowing Notice is received. On the date of such Revolving Loan, the Swingline Loan (including the Swingline Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof, in its capacity as a Lender) shall be deemed to be repaid with the proceeds thereof and shall thereafter be reflected as a Revolving Loan on the books and records of the Agent. Except as set forth in Section 2.23.1(ii), no Lender’s obligation to fund its respective Pro Rata Share of a Swingline Loan shall be affected by any other Lender’s failure to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Swingline Loan, nor shall any Lender’s Pro Rata Share be increased as a result of any such failure of any other Lender to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Swingline Loan.

(iii) If not repaid earlier, each Borrower shall pay to the Swingline Lender the amount of each Swingline Loan within 14 days after receipt of such Swingline Loan. If any portion of any such amount paid to the Swingline Lender shall be recovered by or on behalf of any Borrower from the Swingline Lender in bankruptcy or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share (unless the amounts so recovered by or on behalf of such Borrower pertain to a Swingline Loan extended after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default of which the Agent has received notice in the manner required pursuant to Section 10.9 and which such Default has not been waived pursuant to the terms hereof).

(iv) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to repay Swingline Loans in accordance with the terms of this Section is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article IV. Further, each Lender agrees and acknowledges that if prior to the repayment of any outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section, one of the events described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 shall have occurred, or if a Revolving Loan may not be (as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Agent), or is not, made in accordance with the foregoing provisions, each Lender will, subject to Section 2.23.1(ii), on the date the applicable Revolving Loan would have been made, purchase an undivided participating interest in such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of such Swingline Loan. Each Lender will immediately transfer to the Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swingline Lender will deliver to such Lender a certificate evidencing such participation dated the date of receipt of such funds and for such amount. Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Lender such Lender’s participating interest in a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender (including pursuant to a participation made by the Swingline Lender) its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded).

2.2 Increase in Commitments.

(a) At any time prior to the Facility Termination Date, the Borrowers shall have the ability, in consultation with the Agent and through written notice to the Agent, substantially in the

form of Exhibit D (the “Increase Notice”), to request increases in the Aggregate Commitment (each, a “Requested Commitment Increase”); provided that (i) no Lender shall have any obligation to participate in any Requested Commitment Increase, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all such increases shall not exceed $500,000,000, (iii) each such Requested Commitment Increase shall be in a minimum principal amount of $50,000,000 or, if less, the maximum remaining amount permitted pursuant to clause (ii) above, (iv) any such increase shall be allocated among each Borrower’s Sublimit in accordance with the Increase Notice (it being understood that any such Sublimit changes shall not count as one of the eight Sublimit reallocations the Borrowers are permitted each fiscal year under Section 2.7(c)), (v) the other terms and documentation in respect of such Requested Commitment Increase shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and (vi) no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the proposed Requested Commitment Increase.

(b) The Agent shall promptly give notice of such Requested Commitment Increase to the Lenders. Each Lender shall notify the Agent within ten (10) Business Days (or such longer period of time which may be agreed upon by the Agent and the Borrowers and communicated to the Lenders) from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders whether or not it offers to increase its Commitment and, if so, by what amount. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to offer to increase its Commitment. The Agent shall notify the Borrowers of the Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. The Borrowers shall have the right at their sole discretion to accept or reject in whole or in part any offered Commitment increase or at their own expense to solicit a Commitment from any third party financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Agent. Any such financial institution (if not already a Lender hereunder) shall become a party to this Agreement, as a Lender pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Borrowers.

(c) Upon the completion of each Requested Commitment Increase, (i) entries in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.15 will be revised to reflect the revised Commitments and Pro Rata Shares of each of the Lenders (including each new Lender becoming a party to this Agreement pursuant to clause (b) above), (ii) subject to Section 2.23.1(ii), the outstanding Revolving Loans will be reallocated on the effective date of such increase among the Lenders in accordance with their revised Pro Rata Shares and the Lenders (including each new Lender becoming a party to this Agreement pursuant to clause (b) above) agree to make all payments and adjustments necessary to effect such reallocation and the Borrowers shall pay any and all costs required in connection with such reallocation as if such reallocation were a prepayment and (iii) the Maximum Sublimit of each Borrower shall be increased in accordance with the Increase Notice (provided that no Borrower’s Maximum Sublimit shall exceed the Aggregate Commitment).

2.3 Required Payments; Termination. All outstanding Advances to any Borrower and all other unpaid Obligations of such Borrower shall be paid in full by such Borrower on the Facility Termination Date for such Borrower.

2.4 Extension of Facility Termination Date.

(a) The Borrowers may, no earlier than 60 days and no later than 30 days prior to each anniversary of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date (such anniversary, an “Extension Date”), request through written notice to the Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit E (the “Extension Notice”), that the Lenders extend the then existing Facility Termination Date for an additional one year period; provided that the Borrowers may not extend the then-existing Facility Termination Date pursuant to this Section 2.4 more than two (2) times during the term of this

Agreement after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date. Each Lender, acting in its sole discretion, shall, by notice to the Agent no earlier than 30 days prior to the applicable Extension Date and no later than the applicable Extension Date (except with respect to the year in which the then existing Facility Termination Date shall occur, in which case such written notice shall be delivered by the Lenders no later than 30 days prior to the then existing Facility Termination Date) (such date, the “Consent Date”), advise the Agent in writing of its desire to extend (any such Lender, a “Consenting Lender”) or not to so extend (any such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) such date. Any Lender that does not advise the Agent by the Consent Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Consenting Lender. No Lender shall be under any obligation or commitment to extend the then existing Facility Termination Date. The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to agree to such extension.

(b) If (and only if) Lenders holding Commitments that aggregate more than 50% of the Aggregate Commitment on the Consent Date shall have agreed to such extension, then the then existing Facility Termination Date applicable to the Consenting Lenders shall be extended to the date that is one year after the then existing Facility Termination Date. All Revolving Loans of each Non-Consenting Lender shall be subject to the then existing Facility Termination Date, without giving effect to such extension (such date, the “Prior Facility Termination Date”). In the event of an extension of the then existing Facility Termination Date pursuant to this Section 2.4, the Borrowers shall have the right, at their own expense, to solicit commitments from existing Lenders and/or third party financial institutions reasonably acceptable to the Agent to replace the Commitment of any Non-Consenting Lenders for the remaining duration of the Facility. Any such financial institution (if not already a Lender hereunder) shall become a party to this Agreement, as a Lender pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Borrowers. The Commitment of each Non-Consenting Lender and all Revolving Loans and other amounts payable hereunder to each Non-Consenting Lender shall terminate on the date (such date, the “Lender Termination Date”) that is the earlier of (i) the Prior Facility Termination Date and (ii) the date such Non-Consenting Lender has been replaced pursuant to this Section 2.4(b), and, to the extent such Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment is not replaced as provided above, the Aggregate Commitment hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of the Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lenders so terminated on the Lender Termination Date. Any such reduction in the Aggregate Commitment shall be allocated among each Borrower’s Sublimit in accordance with the written notice of the Borrowers to the Agent.

(c) Effective on and after the Lender Termination Date, (i) each of the Non-Consenting Lenders shall be automatically released from their respective risk participation obligations under Section 2.21 with respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit, (ii) the risk participation obligation of each Lender (other than the Non-Consenting Lenders) under Section 2.21 with respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit (and the related LC Obligations) shall be automatically adjusted to equal such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Letters of Credit (and the related LC Obligations), (iii) each of the Non-Consenting Lenders shall be automatically released from their respective risk participation obligations under Section 2.1(b) with respect to any outstanding Swingline Loans, and (iv) the risk participation obligation of each Lender (other than the Non-Consenting Lenders) under Section 2.1(b) with respect to any outstanding Swingline Loans shall be automatically adjusted to equal such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swingline Loans.

2.5 Ratable Loans. Except as set forth in Section 2.23.1(ii), each Advance (other than Swingline Loans) hereunder shall be made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares.

(a) Subject to Section 2.23.1(v), each Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders according to their Pro Rata Shares a facility fee at a per annum rate equal to the Facility Fee Rate for such Borrower on the daily amount of each Borrower’s Sublimit; provided that if the obligations of the Lenders to make Credit Extensions to a Borrower have been terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, the facility fee shall be based on the Outstanding Credit Extensions to such Borrower. Facility fees payable by each Borrower shall accrue from the Closing Date to the Facility Termination Date for such Borrower (or, if later, to the date all of such Borrower’s Obligations have been paid in full) and shall be payable on each Payment Date and on the Facility Termination Date (and, if applicable, thereafter on demand).

(b) A Borrower may reduce its Sublimit, which will (unless the Borrowers request to reallocate amounts of the Aggregate Commitment among the respective Sublimits of the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.7(c)) reduce the Aggregate Commitment (so that the sum of the Sublimits of all of the Borrowers equals such reduced Aggregate Commitment) ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, and in integral multiples of $10,000,000, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of any such reduction, provided that no Borrower’s Sublimit may be reduced below the amount of the Outstanding Credit Extensions to such Borrower.

2.8 Minimum Amount of Each Advance. Each Advance shall be in the amount of $10,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan, in the amount of $500,000 or a higher integral multiple of $100,000); provided that any Floating Rate Advance may be in the amount of the unused Aggregate Commitment or in the amount of the applicable Borrower’s unused Sublimit.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.10 or 2.11, during the continuance of a Default or Unmatured Default with respect to a Borrower, (a) the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to such Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that no Advance to such Borrower may be made as, converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Advance and (b) the Swingline Lender may, at its option, declare that no Swingline Loans shall be made to such Borrower. During the continuance of a Default with respect to a Borrower, the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to such Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that (i) each Eurodollar Advance to such Borrower shall bear interest for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period at the rate otherwise applicable to such Interest Period plus 2% per annum, (ii) each Floating Rate Advance and each Swingline Loan to such Borrower shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate in effect from time to time plus 2% per annum and (iii) the LC Fee Rate payable by such Borrower shall be increased by 2% per annum, provided that during the continuance of a Default under Section 7.6 or 7.7 with respect to any Borrower, the interest rates set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above and the increase in the LC Fee Rate set forth in clause (iii) above shall be applicable to all Outstanding Credit Extensions to such Borrower without any election or action on the part of the Agent or any Lender.

2.14 Method of Payment. All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Agent at the Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article XIII, or at any other office of the Agent specified in writing by the Agent to the Borrowers, by 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the date when due and shall be applied ratably by the Agent among the Lenders. Each payment delivered to the Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Agent from such Lender. The Agent is hereby authorized to charge the account of the applicable Borrower maintained with Xxxxx Fargo for each payment of principal, Reimbursement Obligations, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder.

2.15 Noteless Agreement; Evidence of Indebtedness.

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

(b) The Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan to each Borrower made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period with respect thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder, (iii) the stated amount of each Letter of Credit and the amount of the LC Obligations outstanding at any time and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder from each Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided that the failure of the Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay the Obligations of such Borrower in accordance with their terms.

(d) Any Lender may request that its Loans to any Borrower be evidenced by a Note. In such event, such Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to the order of such Lender. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 12.3) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to Section 12.3, except to the extent that any such Lender or assignee subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in clauses (a) and (b) above.

2.16 Telephonic Notices. Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, to effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person the Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of such Borrower, it being understood that the foregoing authorization is specifically intended to allow Borrowing Notices and Conversion/Continuation Notices to be given telephonically. Each Borrower agrees that upon the request of the Agent or any Lender, such Borrower will deliver promptly to the Agent a written confirmation signed by an Authorized Officer of such Borrower, of each telephonic notice given by such Borrower pursuant to the preceding sentence. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error.

2.17 Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued on each Floating Rate Advance and each Swingline Loan shall be payable on each Payment Date, on any date on which such Floating Rate Advance is prepaid, whether due to acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on that portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Floating Rate Advance converted into a Eurodollar Advance (other than Swingline Loans) on a day other than a Payment Date shall be payable on the date of conversion. Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Advance shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period (and, in the case of a six-month Interest Period, on the day which is three months after the first day of such Interest Period), on any date on which such Eurodollar Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest on Floating Rate Advances which are bearing interest at the Prime Rate shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365-day year or, when appropriate, 366-day year. All other interest and all fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to 1:00 p.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

2.18 Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment Reductions. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each notice of reduction in the Aggregate Commitment or any Sublimit, Swingline Borrowing Notice, Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, notice of repayment, Increase Notice and Extension Notice received by the Agent hereunder. The Agent will notify each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Eurodollar Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.

2.19 Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Loans at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Loans and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of any such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written notice to the Agent and the Borrowers in accordance with Article XIII, designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made.

2.20 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Agent. Unless a Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of a Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If a Lender or a Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Agent, repay to the Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Agent until the date the Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day for the first three days and, thereafter, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan or (y) in the case of payment by a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Obligation.

2.21 Letters of Credit.

2.21.1 Issuance; Existing Letters of Credit. Each Issuer hereby agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (including the limitations set forth in Section 2.1), to issue standby letters of credit denominated in U.S. Dollars and to renew, extend, increase, decrease or otherwise modify Letters of Credit (“Modify” and each such action a “Modification”) upon the request and for the account of any Borrower (including Letters of Credit issued jointly for the account of a Borrower and any Subsidiary of such Borrower) from time to time from the Fourth Amendment Effective Date to the Facility Termination Date for such Borrower; provided that (a) no Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date later than the scheduled Facility Termination Date, (b) no Letter of Credit shall, by its terms, provide for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, and (c) the aggregate amount of LC Obligations issued by an individual Issuer shall not exceed such Issuer’s Letter of Credit Commitment (or such higher amount agreed upon between such Borrower and such Issuer). By their execution of this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date (without any further action by any Person), each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued under this Agreement and the rights and obligations of the issuer and account party thereunder shall be subject to the terms hereof.

2.21.2 Participations. Subject to Section 2.23.1(ii), upon the issuance or Modification by any Issuer of a Letter of Credit in accordance with this Section 2.21 (or, in the case of the Existing Letters of Credit, on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date), such Issuer shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably sold to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from such Issuer, a participation in such Letter of Credit (and each Modification thereof and the related LC Obligations) in proportion to its Pro Rata Share.

2.21.3 Notice. The applicable Borrower shall give an Issuer notice prior to 11:00 a.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) at least three Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance or Modification of a Letter of Credit for the account of such Borrower, specifying the beneficiary, the proposed date of issuance (or Modification) and the expiry date of such Letter of Credit, and describing the proposed terms of such Letter of Credit and the nature of the transactions proposed to be supported thereby. Upon receipt of such notice, such Issuer shall promptly notify the Agent, and the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender, of the contents thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s participation in such proposed Letter of Credit. The issuance or Modification by an Issuer of any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV (the satisfaction of which such Issuer shall have no duty to ascertain), be subject to the conditions precedent that such Letter of Credit shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Issuer and that the applicable Borrower shall have executed and delivered such application agreement and/or such other instruments and agreements relating to such Letter of Credit as such Issuer shall have reasonably requested (each a “Letter of Credit Application”). In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

2.21.4 Letter of Credit Fees. Subject to Section 2.23.1(v), each Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower, a letter of credit fee at a per annum rate equal to the LC Fee Rate in effect from time to time on the amount available under such Letter of Credit, such fee to be payable in arrears on each Payment Date. Each Borrower shall also pay to each Issuer for its own account (x) subject to Section 2.23.1(v), a fronting fee equal to 0.20% per annum for each Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower, with such fee to be payable in arrears on each Payment Date, and (y) documentary and processing charges in connection with the issuance or Modification of and draws under Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower in accordance with such Issuer’s standard schedule for such charges as in effect from time to time.

2.21.5 Administration; Reimbursement by Lenders. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any demand for payment under such Letter of Credit, each Issuer shall notify the Agent and the Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and each Lender as to the amount to be paid by such Issuer as a result of such demand and the proposed payment date (the “Letter of Credit Payment Date”). The responsibility of each Issuer to the applicable Borrower and each Lender shall be only to determine that the documents (including each demand for payment) delivered under each Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment shall be in conformity in all material respects with such Letter of Credit. Each Issuer shall endeavor to exercise the same care in its issuance and administration of Letters of Credit as it does with respect to letters of credit in which no participations are granted, it being understood that in the absence of any gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) by such Issuer, each Lender shall be unconditionally and irrevocably obligated, without regard to the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default or any condition precedent whatsoever, to reimburse such Issuer on demand for (i) subject to Section 2.23.1(ii), such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of each payment made by such Issuer under each Letter of Credit to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower pursuant to Section 2.21.6 plus (ii) interest on the foregoing amount for each day from the date of the applicable payment by such Issuer to the date on which such Lender pays the amount to be reimbursed by it, at a rate of interest per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate or, beginning on third Business Day after demand for such amount by such Issuer, the rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances.

2.21.6 Reimbursement by Borrowers. Each Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse each Issuer on or before the applicable Letter of Credit Payment Date for any amount to be paid by such Issuer upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuer for the account of such Borrower, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind; provided that no Borrower shall be precluded from asserting any claim for direct (but not consequential) damages suffered by such Borrower to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence (as determined in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) of such Issuer in determining whether a request presented under any Letter of Credit issued by it for the account of such Borrower complied with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (ii) such Issuer’s failure to pay under any Letter of Credit issued by it for the account of such Borrower after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. All such amounts paid by any Issuer and remaining unpaid by the applicable Borrower shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to (x) on or prior to the date on which such Issuer notifies such Borrower of the amount paid under any Letter of Credit, the rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances, and (y) thereafter, the sum of 2% plus the rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances. Each Issuer will pay to each Lender ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share all amounts received by it from a Borrower for application in payment, in whole or in part, of the Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuer and any interest thereon, but only to the extent (and, in the case of interest, for the period of time) such Lender has made payment to such Issuer in respect of such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.21.5.

2.21.7 Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.21 with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which such Borrower may have or have had against the Issuers, any Lender or any beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit. Each Borrower agrees with the Issuers and the Lenders that neither any Issuer nor any Lender shall be responsible for, and the applicable Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation in

respect of any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among such Borrower, any of its Affiliates, the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any financing institution or other party to whom any Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims or defenses whatsoever of such Borrower or of any of its Affiliates against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuers shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit. Each Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by any Issuer or any Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit and the related drafts and documents, if done without gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), shall be binding upon such Borrower and shall not put any Issuer or any Lender under any liability to such Borrower. Nothing in this Section 2.21.7 is intended to limit the right of the applicable Borrower to make a claim against the Issuers for damages as contemplated by the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.21.6.

2.21.8 Actions of Issuers. Each Issuer shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Letter of Credit, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, facsimile, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by such Issuer. Each Issuer shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it reasonably deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.21, each Issuer shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Lenders and any future holder of a participation in any Letter of Credit.

2.21.9 Indemnification. Each Borrower shall severally indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, each Issuer and the Agent, and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees, from and against any and all claims and damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which such Lender, such Issuer or the Agent may incur (or which may be claimed against such Lender, such Issuer or the Agent by any Person whatsoever) by reason of or in connection with the issuance, execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or failure to pay under any Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower or any actual or proposed use of any such Letter of Credit, including any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which such Issuer may incur by reason of or in connection with (i) the failure of any other Lender to fulfill or comply with its obligations to such Issuer hereunder (but nothing herein contained shall affect any right a Borrower may have against any Defaulting Lender) or (ii) by reason of or on account of such Issuer issuing any Letter of Credit which specifies that the term “Beneficiary” included therein includes any successor by operation of law of the named Beneficiary, but which Letter of Credit does not require that any drawing by any such successor Beneficiary be accompanied by a copy of a legal document, satisfactory to such Issuer, evidencing the appointment of such successor Beneficiary; provided that no Borrower shall be required to indemnify any Lender, any Issuer or the Agent for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (x) the willful misconduct or gross negligence (as determined in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) of such Issuer in determining whether a request presented under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuer for the account of such Borrower complied with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (y) such Issuer’s failure to pay under any Letter of Credit issued

for the account of such Borrower after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. Nothing in this Section 2.21.9 is intended to limit the obligations of any Borrower under any other provision of this Agreement.

2.21.10 Lenders’ Indemnification. Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, indemnify each Issuer, its affiliates and its directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) or such Issuer’s failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit) that such indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with this Section 2.21 or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees hereunder.

2.21.11 Rights as a Lender. In its capacity as a Lender, each Issuer shall have the same rights and obligations as any other Lender.

2.21.12 Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuer and a Borrower, when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit.

2.21.13 Cash Collateral. At any point in time in which there is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuer may require the Borrowers to Cash Collateralize the LC Obligations pursuant to Section 2.22.

2.22 Cash Collateral.

2.22.1 Funding of Cash Collateral; Cash Collateral Account.

(i) If there shall exist a Defaulting Lender and if such Defaulting Lender’s participations have been reallocated in accordance with Section 2.23.1(ii), within two (2) Business Days following the receipt of a written request of the Agent, an Issuer (with a copy to the Agent) or the Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Agent), each Borrower shall Cash Collateralize all Fronting Exposure of the Issuers or Swingline Lender, as applicable, with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.23.2 and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.23.1(iv)) to the extent such Fronting Exposure relates to Reimbursement Obligations or Swingline Loans owed by such Borrower.

(ii) If any part of a Borrower’s Cash Collateral is provided in cash, such cash shall be deposited in an interest-bearing account established by the Agent in the name of, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Agent but segregated from Cash Collateral of other Borrowers (the “Cash Collateral Account”). All amounts held in a Cash Collateral Account shall be held as cash and shall bear interest at a rate equal to the rate generally offered by the Agent for deposits equal to the amount held in the account.

2.22.2 Grant of Security Interest. Each Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent, the Issuers and the Non-Defaulting Lenders (including the Swingline Lender), a security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligations to which the Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.22.3 below. If at any time the Agent, an

Issuer or the Swingline Lender determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure, each Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Agent, pay or provide to the Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.23.1(v)) to the extent such deficiency relates to Reimbursement Obligations or Swingline Loans owed by such Borrower.

2.22.3 Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.22 or Section 2.23 shall be held and applied to the complete satisfaction of the specific LC Obligations, Swingline Loans or obligations to fund participations therein for which the Cash Collateral was so provided by such Borrower, prior to any other application of such property to Obligations of such Borrower as may be provided for herein. The amount of any outstanding Swingline Loans or Reimbursement Obligations owed by a Borrower to the Swingline Lender or any Issuer, as applicable, shall be credited by the amount of Cash Collateral provided by such Borrower with respect to the Swingline Loans or Reimbursement Obligations owed by such Borrower.

2.22.4 Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.22 (and shall be promptly returned, including any interest thereon) following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Agent and the applicable Issuer or Swingline Lender, respectively, that there exists excess Cash Collateral.

2.23 Defaulting Lenders.

2.23.1 Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender or is replaced pursuant to Section 3.7, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and Section 8.2.

(ii) Reallocation of Obligations to Non-Defaulting Lenders. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s obligations to make Revolving Loans and participate in LC Obligations and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) there is no Default or Unmatured Default outstanding at the time of such reallocation and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans at such time of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. Subject to Section 9.15, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(iii) Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (ii) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, each Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, furnish Cash Collateral to the Agent in an aggregate amount equal to the Fronting Exposure of the Issuers and the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.22.

(iv) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Sections 11.1 and 11.2 (excluding Cash Collateral) shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuer hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize such Issuer’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with Section 2.22; fourth, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Unmatured Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuer’s and the Swingline Lender’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.22; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuers or Swingline Lenders as a result of any final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuers or Swingline Lenders against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Unmatured Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that to the extent the Agent receives any amounts (each, a “Defaulting Lender Amount”) (x) in payment of any Defaulting Lender’s obligations from any Person other than a Borrower or (y) from a Defaulting Lender, including pursuant to Sections 11.1 and 11.2 (excluding Cash Collateral), and, in either case, the Agent is holding any Cash Collateral of a Borrower, then no amounts shall be distributed pursuant to this Section 2.23.1(iv) unless and until such Cash Collateral, including interest accrued thereon, in the amount of such Defaulting Lender Amount, shall have been fully returned to such Borrower; provided further that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Obligations in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, such payment shall be applied, following the refunding of any Cash Collateral provided by any Borrower, solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders based on their Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in LC Obligations are held by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares (without giving effect to Section 2.23.1(ii)).

Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.23.1(iv) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(v) Certain Fees.

(A) Facility Fees. Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive a facility fee pursuant to Section 2.7(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to the sum of (1) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans made by such Defaulting Lender and (2) the Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.23.1(iv).

(B) Letter of Credit Fees. Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit fees pursuant to Section 2.21.4 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Pro Rata Share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.23.1(iv).

(C) Reallocation of Fees. With respect to any facility fee or Letter of Credit fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clauses (A) or (B) above, the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or participate in LC Obligations or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.23.1(ii) above, (y) pay to each Issuer the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuer’s Fronting Exposure, until such time as the Fronting Exposure has been eliminated by the posting of Cash Collateral or otherwise, and (z) thereafter, not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

2.23.2 Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers, the Agent, the Swingline Lender and each Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares (without giving effect to Section 2.23.1(ii)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

2.23.3 New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) no Issuer shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

ARTICLE III

YIELD PROTECTION; TAXES

3.1 Yield Protection. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or advances, loans or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement applicable to Eurodollar Advances) or any Issuer;

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender or any Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuer or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuer or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, such Issuer or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of such Lender, such Issuer or other Recipient, the Borrowers shall promptly pay to any such Lender, such Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, such Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

3.2 Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If any Issuer, the Swingline Lender or another Lender determines the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Issuer, the Swingline Lender or such Lender, any Lending Installation of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Issuer, the Swingline Lender or such Lender is increased as a result of a Change in Law, then, within 15 days after demand by such Issuer, the Swingline Lender or such Lender, the applicable Borrower shall pay such Issuer, the Swingline Lender or such Lender the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which such Issuer, the Swingline Lender or such Lender determines is attributable to this Agreement, Loans or Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder (or participations therein) or its Commitment to make Loans or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder (after taking into account such Lender’s policies as to capital adequacy); provided that a certificate setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender as specified above, and containing an explanation in reasonable detail of the manner in which such amount or amounts shall have been determined, shall have been delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

3.3 Availability of Types of Advances. If any Lender or the Swingline Lender notifies the Agent that maintenance of its Eurodollar Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any Applicable Law, rule, regulation, or directive, whether or not having the force of law, or if the Required Lenders determine that (i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund Eurodollar Advances are not available or (ii) the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Advances does not accurately reflect the cost of making or maintaining Eurodollar Advances, then the Agent shall suspend the availability of Eurodollar Advances and require any affected Eurodollar Advances to be repaid or converted to Floating Rate Advances, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4.

3.4 Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a Eurodollar Advance (other than a Swingline Loan) occurs on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period therefor, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, a Eurodollar Advance (other than a Swingline Loan) is not made on the date specified by a Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders, or a Eurodollar Advance (other than a Swingline Loan) is assigned on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period therefor as a result of a request of a Borrower pursuant to Section 3.7, the applicable Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain such Eurodollar Advance.

3.5 Taxes.

(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 3.5, the term “Lender” includes any Issuer and the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that, after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Each Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes for which such Borrower is responsible hereunder.

(d) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Recipient (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Borrower has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.16.4 relating to the maintenance of a Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to setoff and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this paragraph (e). The agreements in paragraph (e) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Agent.

(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.5, such Borrower shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(g) Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.5(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(A) Any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrowers or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender

has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.5 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.5), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.5 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(j) Status. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, the Borrowers and the Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Agent to treat) this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

3.6 Mitigation of Circumstances; Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. Each Lender (including the Swingline Lender) shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge which will result in, and will use reasonable commercial efforts available to it (and not, in such Lender’s good faith judgment, otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender) to mitigate or avoid, (i) any obligation of any Borrower to pay any amount pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 and (ii) the unavailability of Eurodollar Advances under Section 3.3 (and, if any Lender (including the Swingline Lender) has given notice of any such event described above and thereafter such event ceases to exist, such Lender shall promptly so notify the Borrowers and the Agent). Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender (including the Swingline Lender) shall, to the extent reasonably possible, designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Eurodollar Loans to reduce any liability of any Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of Eurodollar Advances under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not, in the judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such

Lender. Any Lender (including the Swingline Lender) claiming compensation under Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, or 3.5 shall deliver a written statement to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) as to the amount due under the applicable Section, which statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on such Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under any such Section in connection with a Eurodollar Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender (including the Swingline Lender) funded its Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Eurodollar Rate or Eurodollar Market Index Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender (including the Swingline Lender) shall be payable on demand after receipt by the applicable Borrower of such written statement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article III, if any Lender (including the Swingline Lender) fails to notify a Borrower of any event or circumstance which will entitle such Lender to compensation from such Borrower pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 within 60 days after such Lender obtains knowledge of such event or circumstance, then such Borrower will not be responsible for any such compensation arising prior to the 60th day before such Borrower receives notice from such Lender of such event or circumstance. The obligations of the Borrowers under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

3.7 Replacement of Lender. If (i) any Lender makes a demand for compensation under Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 or a notice of the type described in Section 3.3, (ii) the credit rating then in effect with respect to a Lender’s senior unsecured long term debt securities without third-party credit enhancement is not, in the case of a Xxxxx’x rating, Baa1 (with stable outlook) or, in the case of an S&P or Fitch rating, BBB+ (with stable outlook), or better or (iii) any Lender is, or at any time has been, a Defaulting Lender (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), then the Borrower Representative may replace such Affected Lender as a party to this Agreement with one or more other Lenders and/or Purchasers which are willing to accept an assignment from such Lender, and upon notice from the Borrower Representative such Affected Lender shall assign, without recourse or warranty, its Commitment, its Loans and all of its other rights and obligations hereunder to such other Lenders and/or Purchasers for a purchase price equal to the sum of the principal amount of the Loans so assigned, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, such Affected Lender’s ratable share of all accrued and unpaid fees, any amount payable pursuant to Section 3.4 as a result of such Affected Lender receiving payment of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of an Interest Period therefor (assuming for such purpose that receipt of payment pursuant to such assignment constitutes payment of each outstanding Eurodollar Loan) and all other obligations owed to such Affected Lender hereunder.

The execution and delivery by such Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by proper corporate proceedings, and the Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of such Borrower enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

5.7 Litigation and Contingent Obligations. Except as disclosed in the Public Reports, there is no litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation, proceeding or inquiry pending or, to the knowledge of such Borrower, threatened against or affecting such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Borrower or which seeks to prevent, enjoin or delay the making of any Loans. Other than any liability incident to any litigation, arbitration or proceeding which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Borrower, such Borrower has no material contingent obligations not provided for or disclosed in the Public Reports.

5.12 Material Agreements.

Such Borrower and its Subsidiaries have complied with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof having jurisdiction over the conduct of their respective businesses or the ownership of their respective Property except for any failure to comply with any of the foregoing which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Borrower.

On the basis of this consideration, such Borrower has concluded that Environmental Laws are not reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Borrower. Except as disclosed in the Public Reports, neither such Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof has received any notice to the effect that its operations are not in material compliance with any of the requirements of applicable Environmental Laws or are the subject of any federal or state investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a release of any toxic or hazardous waste or substance into the environment, which noncompliance or remedial action could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Borrower.

ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

8.1 Acceleration. If any Default described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 occurs with respect to a Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders (including the Issuers and the Swingline Lender) to make Credit Extensions to such Borrower hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations of such Borrower shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Agent or any Lender. If any other Default occurs with respect to a Borrower, the Required Lenders (or the Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) may terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders (including the Issuers and the Swingline Lender) to make Credit Extensions to such Borrower hereunder, or declare the Obligations of such Borrower to be due and payable, or both, whereupon such obligations of the Lenders (including the Issuers and the Swingline Lender) shall terminate and/or the Obligations of such Borrower shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which each Borrower hereby expressly waives.

If, within 30 days after termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Credit Extensions to any Borrower hereunder or acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations of any Borrower as a result of any Default (other than any Default as described in Section 7.6 or 7.7) with respect to such Borrower and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, the Required Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Agent shall, by notice to such Borrower, rescind and annul such termination and/or acceleration.

8.2 Amendments. Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII, the Required Lenders (or the Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrowers may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to this Agreement changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or any Borrower hereunder or waiving any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder; provided that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of all of the Lenders:

(i) Other than as provided in Section 2.4, extend the final maturity of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or forgive all or any portion of the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon or on any facility fees or Letter of Credit fees.

(ii) Reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders.

(iii) Other than as provided in Section 2.2 and Section 2.4, extend the Facility Termination Date for any Borrower, increase the amount of the Commitment of any Lender hereunder, increase any Sublimit or Maximum Sublimit or permit any Borrower to assign its rights under this Agreement.

(iv) Amend, modify or waive the pro rata sharing of payments by and among the Lenders without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby.

(v) Amend this Section 8.2.

No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the Agent. No amendment of this Agreement relating to any Issuer shall be effective without the written consent of such Issuer. No amendment of this Agreement relating to the Swingline Lender shall be effective without the written consent of the Swingline Lender. The Agent may waive payment of the fee required under Section 12.3.2 without obtaining the consent of any other party to this Agreement. If the Agent and the Borrowers acting together identify any ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect in any provision of this Agreement or any other document executed in connection herewith, then the Agent and the Borrowers shall be permitted to amend, modify or supplement such provision to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect, and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above, (a) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any bankruptcy reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersedes the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein, (b) the Required Lenders may consent to allow a Borrower to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding and (c) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except (i) that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (ii) to the extent such amendment, waiver or consent impacts such Defaulting Lender more adversely than the other Lenders.

8.3 Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Agent, the Issuers, the Swingline Lender or the Lenders to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Unmatured Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Credit Extension notwithstanding the existence of a Default or Unmatured Default or the inability of the applicable Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Credit Extension shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of any Loan Document whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the parties required pursuant to Section 8.2 and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Agent, the Issuers, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person or entity that opens an account, including any deposit account, treasury management account, loan, other extension of credit or other financial services product. What this means for the Borrower: When a Borrower opens an account, if such Borrower is an individual, the Agent, the Issuers and the Lenders will ask for such Borrower’s name, residential address, tax identification number, date of birth and other information that will allow the Agent, the Issuers and the Lenders to identify such Borrower, and, if a Borrower is not an individual, the Agent, the Issuers and the Lenders will ask for such Borrower’s name, tax identification number, business address and other information that will allow the Agent, the Issuers and the Lenders to identify such Borrower. The Agent, the Issuers and the Lenders may also ask, if a Borrower is an individual, to see such Borrower’s driver’s license or other identifying documents, and, if such Borrower is not an individual, to see the Borrower’s legal organizational documents or other identifying documents.

On the Closing Date, the credit facilities described in the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended, supplemented, modified and restated in their entirety by the facilities described herein, and all Loans and other Obligations of the Borrowers outstanding as of such date under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be Loans and Obligations outstanding under the corresponding facilities described herein, without any further action by any Person, except that the Agent shall make such transfers of funds as are necessary in order that the outstanding balance of such Loans, together with any Loans funded on the Closing Date, reflect the Commitments of the Lenders hereunder.

THE AGENT

10.1 Appointment; Nature of Relationship. Xxxxx Fargo is hereby appointed by each of the Lenders as its contractual representative (herein referred to as the “Agent”) hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Agent to act as the contractual representative of such Lender with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. The Agent agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article X. Notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Agent,” it is expressly understood and agreed that the Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and that the Agent is merely acting as the contractual representative of the Lenders with only those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In its capacity as the Lenders’ contractual representative, the Agent (i) does not hereby assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders, (ii) is a “representative” of the Lenders within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the Uniform Commercial Code and (iii) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders hereby agrees to assert no claim against the Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Lender hereby waives.

10.2 Powers. The Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent shall have no implied duties to the Lenders, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Agent.

10.3 General Immunity. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to any Borrower or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith except to the extent such action or inaction is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person.

10.4 No Responsibility for Loans Recitals etc. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document, including any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly to each Lender; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article IV, except receipt of items required to be delivered solely to the Agent; (d) the existence or possible existence of any Default or

Unmatured Default; or (e) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith. The Agent shall have no duty to disclose to the Lenders information that is not required to be furnished by a Borrower to the Agent at such time, but is voluntarily furnished by such Borrower to the Agent (either in its capacity as Agent or in its individual capacity).

10.5 Action on Instructions of Lenders. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders (or, when expressly required hereunder, all of the Lenders), and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders. The Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

10.6 Employment of Agents and Counsel. The Agent may execute any of its duties as Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents and attorneys in fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys in fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning the contractual arrangement between the Agent and the Lenders and all matters pertaining to the Agent’s duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document.

10.7 Reliance on Documents; Counsel. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Agent, which counsel may be employees of the Agent.

10.8 Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders severally agree to reimburse and indemnify the Agent ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments (or, if the Commitments have been terminated, in proportion to their Commitments immediately prior to such termination) (i) for any amounts not reimbursed by any Borrower for which the Agent is entitled to reimbursement by such Borrower under the Loan Documents, (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents (including for any expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with any dispute between the Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders) and (iii) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (including for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against the Agent in connection with any dispute between the Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders), or the enforcement of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or of any such other documents, provided that (i) no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent and (ii) any indemnification required pursuant to Section 3.5(vii) shall, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10.8, be paid by the relevant Lender in accordance with the provisions thereof. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.8 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

10.9 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder (except for failure of a Borrower to pay any amount required to be paid to the Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders) unless the Agent has received written notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Unmatured Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to all Lenders.

10.10 Rights as a Lender. In the event the Agent is a Lender, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document with respect to its Commitment, its Loans, its participation in the Swingline Loans and its interest in the LC Obligations as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, at any time when the Agent is a Lender, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity. The Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in which such Borrower or such Subsidiary is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person. The Agent in its individual capacity is not obligated to remain a Lender.

10.11 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, either Arranger or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrowers and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, either Arranger or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

10.12 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower Representative, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Agent or, if no successor Agent has been appointed, forty-five days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its intention to resign. The Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by written notice received by the Agent from the Required Lenders, such removal to be effective on the date specified by the Required Lenders. The Agent shall be deemed to have been removed, without further action by the Borrowers or Required Lenders hereunder, upon becoming a Defaulting Lender, such removal to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Agent. Upon any such resignation or removal, (i) the Agent that has resigned or been removed shall no longer receive the administrative agent fees previously agreed to by the Borrowers and the Agent and (ii) the Required Lenders shall have the right (with, so long as no Default or Unmatured Default exists with respect to any Borrower, the consent of the Borrower Representative, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to appoint, on behalf of the Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders within thirty days after the resigning Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrowers and the Lenders, a successor Agent. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Agent may at any time without the consent of any Lender but with the consent of the Borrower Representative, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, appoint any of its Affiliates which is a commercial bank as a successor Agent hereunder. If the Agent has resigned or been removed and no successor Agent has been appointed, the Lenders may perform all the duties of the Agent hereunder and the Borrowers shall make all payments in respect of their respective Obligations to the applicable Lender and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the

Lenders. No successor Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Agent has accepted the appointment. Any such successor Agent shall be a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $100,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning or removed Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of the Agent, the resigning or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of the resignation or removal of an Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event that there is a successor to the Agent (by merger or resignation or removal), or the Agent assigns its duties and obligations to an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 10.12, then the term “Prime Rate” as used in this Agreement shall mean the prime rate, base rate or other analogous rate of the new Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.12, the Agent may not be removed by the Required Lenders unless the Agent (in its individual capacity) is concurrently removed from its duties and responsibilities as an Issuer and as the Swingline Lender.

10.13 Agent’s Fee. Each Borrower agrees to pay to each of the Agent and each Arranger, for the Agent’s or such Arranger’s own account, the fees agreed to by the Borrowers and the Agent or such Arranger, as applicable, in proportion to the Borrowers’ respective Initial Sublimits.

10.14 Delegation to Affiliates. The Borrowers and the Lenders agree that the Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s directors, officers, agents and employees) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Agent is entitled under Articles IX and X.

10.15 Other Agents. None of the Lenders identified on the cover page or signature pages of this Agreement or otherwise herein as being a “Co-Syndication Agent” or a “Co-Documentation Agent” (collectively, the “Other Agents”) shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Other Agents in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or refraining from taking any action hereunder or pursuant hereto.

ARTICLE XI

SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS

11.1 Setoff. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders and the Swingline Lender under Applicable Law, if any Borrower becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any Default occurs with respect to such Borrower, any and all deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender or the Swingline Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender or the Swingline Lender to or for the credit or account of such Borrower may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations of such Borrower owing to such Lender or the Swingline Lender, whether or not the Obligations, or any part thereof, shall then be due; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (i) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application to the Obligations and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, the Issuer, the Swingline Lender and the other Lenders, and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

11.2 Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon the Outstanding Credit Extensions owed to it by any Borrower (other than (i) payments received pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5, (ii) payments received by Non-Consenting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.4, (iii) payments made to the Issuers in respect of Reimbursement Obligations so long as the Lenders have not funded their participations therein and (iv) payments made to the Swingline Lender in respect of Swingline Loans so long as the Lenders have not funded their participations therein) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Outstanding Credit Extensions owed by such Borrower to the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable proportion of all of such Borrower’s Outstanding Credit Extensions. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for the Outstanding Credit Extensions owed to it by any Borrower or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to the Outstanding Credit Extensions owed to each of them by such Borrower. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.

ARTICLE XII

BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

12.1 Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) no Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 12.3. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that clause (ii) of the preceding sentence relates only to absolute assignments and does not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including any pledge or assignment by any Lender of all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any Note to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment creating a security interest shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder unless and until the parties thereto have complied with the provisions of Section 12.3. The Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such Person complies with Section 12.3; provided that the Agent may in its discretion (but shall not be required to) follow instructions from the Person which made any Loan or which holds any Note to direct payments relating to such Loan or Note to another Person. Any assignee of the rights to any Loan or any Note agrees by acceptance of such assignment to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of the rights to any Loan (whether or not a Note has been issued in evidence thereof), shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder or assignee of the rights to such Loan. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in Charlotte, North Carolina, a copy of each Assignment Agreement and each Lender Joinder Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amounts of (and stated interest on) the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender (but only to the extent of entries in the Register that are applicable to such Lender), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

12.2 Participations.

12.2.1 Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with Applicable Law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (other than a Person described in Section 12.3.1(b) (“Participants”) participating interests in any Obligations owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the owner of the Obligations owing to such Lender and the holder of any Note issued to it for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by each Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrowers, the Issuers, the Swingline Lender and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, a Participant may not include a natural Person, a Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Borrower.

12.2.2 Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents other than any amendment, modification or waiver which extends the Facility Termination Date for any Borrower or the final maturity of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation in which such Participant has an interest or forgives all or any portion of the principal amount thereof, or reduces the rate or extends the time of payment of interest thereon or on any facility fees or Letter of Credit fees.

12.2.3 Benefit of Setoff. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents, provided that each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 with respect to the amount of participating interests sold to each Participant. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1, agrees to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 11.2 as if each Participant were a Lender.

12.2.4 Participant Register. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat

each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

12.3 Assignments.

12.3.1 Permitted Assignments.

(a) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with Applicable Law, at any time assign to one or more banks or other entities (“Purchasers”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Such assignment shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B or in such other form as may be agreed to by the parties thereto. The consent of the Borrower Representative and the Agent shall be required prior to an assignment becoming effective with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender or an Affiliate thereof; provided that if a Default exists with respect to any Borrower, the consent of the Borrower Representative shall not be required. Any such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have consented to such assignment unless the Borrower Representative shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof. The Borrower Representative shall receive prior written notice by the assigning Lender prior to an assignment becoming effective with respect to a Purchaser which is a Lender or an Affiliate thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consent of each Issuer and the Swingline Lender shall be required for all assignments. Each such assignment with respect to a Purchaser which is not a Lender or an Affiliate thereof shall (unless each of the Borrower Representative and the Agent otherwise consent) be in an amount not less than the lesser of (i) $5,000,000 or (ii) the remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment (calculated as at the date of such assignment) or outstanding Loans, participations in Swingline Loans and participations in LC Obligations (to the extent such Commitment has been terminated). Each assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all of the assigning Lender’s interests in the Obligations of, and Commitment to, all Borrowers.

(b) No such assignment shall be made to (i) any natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit or, a natural person or relative(s) thereof), (ii) any Borrower or any Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (iii) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (b) or (iv) who, at the time of an assignment or participation, is a Sanctioned Person.

12.3.2 Effect; Effective Date.

(a) Subject to subsection (b), below, upon (i) delivery to the Agent of an Assignment Agreement, together with any consents required by Section 12.3.1, and (ii) payment of a $3,500 fee to the Agent for processing such assignment (unless such fee is waived by the Agent), such Assignment Agreement shall become effective on the effective date specified in such Assignment Agreement. On and after the effective date of such Assignment Agreement, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by or on behalf of the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and no further consent or action by the Borrowers, the Lenders or the Agent shall be required to release the transferor Lender with respect to the percentage of the Aggregate Commitment and Obligations assigned to

such Purchaser. Any Person that is at any time a Lender and that thereafter ceases to be a Lender pursuant to the terms of this Section 12.3.2 shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of those provisions of this Agreement that, pursuant to the terms hereof, survive the termination hereof. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 12.3.2, the transferor Lender, the Agent and the Borrowers shall, if the transferor Lender or the Purchaser desires that its Loans be evidenced by Notes, make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchaser.

(b) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the Defaulting Lender or the Purchaser to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the Purchaser of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Agent, the applicable Pro Rata Share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the Defaulting Lender and Purchaser hereby irrevocably consent), to (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

12.4 Dissemination of Information. The Borrowers authorize each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries, including any information contained in any Public Reports; provided that each Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by Section 9.11 of this Agreement.

12.5 Grant of Funding Option to SPC. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Agent and the Borrower Representative, the option to provide to any Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.5, any SPC may (a) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower Representative and

the Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loan to the Granting Lender or to any financial institution (consented to by the Borrower Representative and the Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (b) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

12.6 Tax Treatment. If any interest in any Loan Document is transferred to any Transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 3.5(iv).

Should a Borrower not have any Xxxxx’x Rating, S&P Rating or Fitch Rating, the corporate credit or issuer rating of such Borrower, as applicable, will be used in lieu thereof.
