(d) The entries made in the Register and the records of each Lender maintained pursuant to subsection 2.5(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such record, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Revolving Credit Loans made to such Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing the Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit A with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (a “Revolving Credit Note”).

(ii) by giving telephone notice to the Administrative Agent (immediately confirmed by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a CAF Advance Confirmation by facsimile transmission) (A) subject to the provisions of subsection 2.9(e), accept one or more of the offers made by any Lender or Lenders pursuant to subsection 2.9(b) or subsection 2.9(c), as the case may be, and (B) reject any remaining offers made by Lenders pursuant to subsection 2.9(b) or subsection 2.9(c), as the case may be.

(e) The Borrower’s acceptance of CAF Advances in response to any CAF Advance Offers shall be subject to the following limitations:

(i) the amount of CAF Advances accepted for each CAF Advance Maturity Date specified by any Lender in its CAF Advance Offer shall not exceed the maximum amount for such CAF Advance Maturity Date specified in such CAF Advance Offer;

(ii) the aggregate amount of CAF Advances accepted for all CAF Advance Maturity Dates specified by any Lender in its CAF Advance Offer shall not exceed the aggregate maximum amount specified in such CAF Advance Offer for all such CAF Advance Maturity Dates;

(iii) the Borrower may not accept offers for CAF Advances for any CAF Advance Maturity Date in an aggregate principal amount in excess of the maximum principal amount requested in the related CAF Advance Request; and

(iv) if the Borrower accepts any of such offers, it must accept offers based solely upon pricing for each relevant CAF Advance Maturity Date and upon no other criteria whatsoever, and if two or more Lenders submit offers for any CAF Advance Maturity Date at identical pricing and the Borrower accepts any of such offers but does not wish to (or, by reason of the limitations set forth in Section 2.8, cannot) borrow the total amount offered by such Lenders with such identical pricing, the Borrower shall accept offers

CREDIT AGREEMENT

from all of such Lenders in amounts allocated among them pro rata according to the amounts offered by such Lenders (with appropriate rounding, in the sole discretion of the Borrower, to assure that each accepted CAF Advance is an integral multiple of $1,000,000); provided that if the number of Lenders that submit offers for any CAF Advance Maturity Date at identical pricing is such that, after the Borrower accepts such offers pro rata in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the CAF Advance to be made by any such Lender would be less than $5,000,000 principal amount, the number of such Lenders shall be reduced by the Administrative Agent by lot until the CAF Advances to be made by each such remaining Lender would be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

(f) If the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent that a CAF Advance Request is cancelled pursuant to subsection 2.9(d)(i), the Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephone notice thereof to the Lenders.

(g) If the Borrower accepts pursuant to subsection 2.9(d)(ii) one or more of the offers made by any Lender or Lenders, the Administrative Agent promptly shall notify each Lender which has made such an offer of (i) the aggregate amount of such CAF Advances to be made on such Borrowing Date for each CAF Advance Maturity Date and (ii) the acceptance or rejection of any offers to make such CAF Advances made by such Lender. Before 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Borrowing Date specified in the applicable CAF Advance Request, each Lender whose CAF Advance Offer has been accepted shall make available to the Administrative Agent at its office set forth in Section 10.2 the amount of CAF Advances to be made by such Lender, in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower as soon as practicable on such date at such office of the Administrative Agent. As soon as practicable after each Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the aggregate amount of CAF Advances advanced on such Borrowing Date and the respective CAF Advance Maturity Dates thereof.

2.10 CAF Advance Payments. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender which has made a CAF Advance, on the applicable CAF Advance Maturity Date, the then unpaid principal amount of such CAF Advance. The Borrower shall not have the right to prepay any principal amount of any CAF Advance without the consent of the Lender to which such CAF Advance is owed.

(b) The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each CAF Advance from the Borrowing Date of such CAF Advance to the applicable CAF Advance Maturity Date at the rate of interest specified in the CAF Advance Offer accepted by the Borrower in connection with such CAF Advance (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for actual days elapsed), payable on each applicable CAF Advance Interest Payment Date.

(c) If any principal of, or interest on, any CAF Advance shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such CAF Advance shall, without limiting any rights of any Lender under this Agreement, bear interest from the date on which such payment was due at a rate per annum which is 2% per annum above the rate which would otherwise be applicable to such CAF Advance until the stated CAF Advance Maturity Date of such CAF Advance, and for each day thereafter at a rate per annum which is 2% per annum above the ABR, in each case until paid in full (as well after as before judgment). Interest accruing pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be payable from time to time on demand.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

2.11 Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice appropriate records evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each CAF Advance of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time in respect of such CAF Advance. The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to subsection 10.6(e), and a record therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each CAF Advance made by such Lender, the CAF Advance Maturity Date thereof, the interest rate applicable thereto and each CAF Advance Interest Payment Date applicable thereto, and (ii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower on account of such CAF Advance. The entries made in the Register and the records of each Lender maintained pursuant to this Section shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such record, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the CAF Advances made by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.12 Certain Restrictions. A CAF Advance Request may request offers for CAF Advances to be made on not more than one Borrowing Date and to mature on not more than three CAF Advance Maturity Dates. No CAF Advance Request may be submitted earlier than five Business Days after submission of any other CAF Advance Request.

2.13 Minimum Amounts of Tranches. All borrowings, conversions and continuations of Revolving Credit Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans comprising each LIBOR Tranche shall be equal to $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. In no event shall there be more than ten LIBOR Tranches outstanding at any time.

2.14 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Each ABR Loan and Swing Line Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR. Each CAF Advance shall bear interest as provided in Section 2.8.

(c) If all or a portion of (i) any principal of any Revolving Credit Loan or Swing Line Loan, (ii) any interest payable thereon, (iii) any facility fee or (iv) any other amount payable hereunder (other than overdue CAF payments provided for in subsection 2.10(c)) shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), any such principal and overdue interest, facility fee or other amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is (x) in the case of principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% per annum or (y) in the case of any such overdue interest, facility fee or other amount, the rate applicable to ABR Loans pursuant to

CREDIT AGREEMENT

subsection 2.14(b) plus 2% per annum, in each case from the date of such non-payment until such overdue principal, interest, facility fee or other amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

(d) Interest on Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.

2.15 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Whenever it is calculated on the basis of the ABR, interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed; and, otherwise, interest and the facility fee and utilization fee shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of a London Interbank Offered Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR, the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements, the C/D Assessment Rate or the C/D Reserve Percentage shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to subsection 2.14(a) or 2.7(b).

2.16 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the London Interbank Offered Rate for such Interest Period, or

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the London Interbank Offered Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any LIBOR Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to LIBOR Loans, shall be converted to or continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding LIBOR Loans shall be converted, on the first day of such Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further LIBOR Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans to LIBOR Loans, as the case may be.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

2.17 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Except as provided in Section 2.23(d), each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any facility or utilization fee hereunder and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Commitment Percentages of the Lenders. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on any Loans (other than any CAF Advance) shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Loans then held by the Lenders. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in Section 10.2, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the relevant Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its allocable share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans hereunder, on demand, from the Borrower.

2.18 Swing Line Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make swing line loans (“Swing Line Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time during the Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $300,000,000, provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding at any one time shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments at such time. During the Commitment Period, the Borrower may use the Swing Line Commitment by borrowing, prepaying the Swing Line Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. All Swing Line Loans shall bear interest based upon the ABR and shall not be entitled to be converted into loans that bear interest at any other

CREDIT AGREEMENT

rate. The Borrower shall give the Swing Line Lender irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender prior to 4:00 P.M., New York City time, on the requested Borrowing Date specifying the amount of the requested Swing Line Loan which shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof). The proceeds of the Swing Line Loan will be made available by the Swing Line Lender to the Borrower at the office of the Swing Line Lender by 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date by crediting the account of the Borrower at such office with such proceeds. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, prepay the Swing Line Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, by notifying the Swing Line Lender prior to 4:00 P.M., New York City time, on any Business Day of the date and amount of prepayment. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof.

(b) The Swing Line Loans shall, at the request of the Swing Line Lender, be evidenced by and repayable with interest in accordance with a promissory note of the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B to this Agreement, with appropriate insertions (the “Swing Line Note”), payable to the order of the Swing Line Lender and representing the obligation of the Borrower to pay the amount of the Swing Line Commitment or, if less, the unpaid principal amount of the Swing Line Loans, with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 2.14. The Swing Line Lender is hereby authorized to record the Borrowing Date, the amount of each Swing Line Loan and the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal thereof, on the schedule annexed to and constituting a part of the Swing Line Note and any such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded, provided that the failure by the Swing Line Lender to make any such recordation shall not affect any of the obligations of the Borrower under such Swing Line Note or this Agreement. The Swing Line Note shall (a) be dated the Closing Date, (b) be stated to mature on the Revolving Credit Termination Date and (c) bear interest for the period from the date thereof until paid in full on the unpaid principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding at the applicable interest rate per annum determined as provided in, and payable as specified in, Section 2.14.

(c) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swing Line Lender to act on its behalf) request each Lender, including the Swing Line Lender, to make a Revolving Credit Loan that shall be initially an ABR Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of the Swing Line Loans outstanding on the date such notice is given (the “Outstanding Swing Line Loans”). Unless any of the events described in paragraph (f) of Section 7 shall have occurred with respect to the Borrower (in which event the procedures of paragraph (e) of this Section shall apply) each Lender shall make the proceeds of its Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 10.2 prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, in funds immediately available on the Business Day next succeeding the date such notice is given. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans shall be immediately applied to repay the Outstanding Swing Line Loans. Effective on the day such Revolving Credit Loans are made, the portion of the Swing Line Loans so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Loans, shall no longer be due under the Swing Line Note and shall be evidenced as provided in subsection 2.5(b). The Borrower authorizes the Swing Line Lender to charge the Borrower’s

CREDIT AGREEMENT

accounts with the Administrative Agent (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the amount of such Outstanding Swing Line Loans to the extent amounts received from the Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full such Outstanding Swing Line Loans.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loans if the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 have not been satisfied.

(e) If prior to the making of a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to subsection 2.18(c) one of the events described in paragraph (f) of Section 7 shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower, each Lender will, on the date such Revolving Credit Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice in subsection 2.18(c), purchase an undivided participating interest in the Outstanding Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to (i) its Commitment Percentage times (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Each Lender will immediately transfer to the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation, and upon receipt thereof the Swing Line Lender will deliver to such Lender a Swing Line Loan Participation Certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.

(f) Whenever, at any time after any Lender has purchased a participating interest in a Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such 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); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Line Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Swing Line Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swing Line Lender to it.

(g) Each Lender’s obligation to make the Revolving Credit Loans referred to in subsection 2.18(c) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to subsection 2.18(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or termination of the Commitments; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

2.19 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make LIBOR Loans, continue LIBOR Loans as such and convert ABR Loans to LIBOR Loans shall forthwith be cancelled and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as LIBOR Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with

CREDIT AGREEMENT

respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a LIBOR Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.20.

2.20 Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Note or any LIBOR Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.21, taxes expressly excluded by Section 2.21 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender);

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the London Interbank Offered Rate hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining LIBOR Loans or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.

(c) If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section 2.20, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and of the basis for the calculation of such additional amounts; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to such paragraph for any increased costs incurred

CREDIT AGREEMENT

more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the change giving rise to such increased costs and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further that, if the change giving rise to such increased costs is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.21 Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement and any Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any Note). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes” ) are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any Note, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (b) of this Section or (ii) that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b) Each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States or a state thereof (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall:

(i) on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN or W-8 ECI or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from United States federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit H and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, United States federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

CREDIT AGREEMENT

(ii) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further copies of any such form or certification on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower; and

(iii) obtain such extensions of time for filing and complete such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent;

unless in any such case an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Such Lender shall certify that it is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each Person that shall become a Lender or a Participant pursuant to Section 10.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms and statements required pursuant to this Section, provided that in the case of a Participant such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased.

(c) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.21, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.21 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

2.22 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making either (i) a borrowing of LIBOR Loans or LIBOR CAF Advances or (ii) a conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Loans, in each case after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (in the case of a borrowing of LIBOR CAF Advances, so long as the Borrower shall have accepted a CAF Advance offered in connection with any such notice), (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under Section 2.4 and is revoked in accordance herewith) or (c) the making of either (i) a prepayment of LIBOR Loans, LIBOR CAF Advances or Fixed Rate CAF Advances or (ii) a conversion of LIBOR Loans, in each case on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification shall constitute an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.23 Commitment Increases. (a) In the event that Borrower wishes to increase the aggregate Commitments, it shall notify the Lenders (through the Administrative Agent) of the amount of such proposed increase (such notice, a “Commitment Increase Offer”). Each Commitment Increase Offer shall offer the Lenders the opportunity to participate in the increased Commitments ratably in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages. In the event that any Lender (each, a “Declining Lender”) shall fail to accept in writing a Commitment Increase Offer within 10 Business Days after receiving notice thereof, all or any portion of the proposed increase in the Commitments offered to the Declining Lenders (the aggregate of such offered amounts, the “Declined Amount”) may instead be allocated to any one or more additional banks, financial institutions or other entities pursuant to paragraph (b) below and/or to any one or more existing Lenders pursuant to paragraph (c)(ii) below.

(b) Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity (herein called a “New Lender”) which, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, elects to become a party to this Agreement and obtain a Commitment in an amount equal to all or any portion of a Declined Amount shall execute a New Lender Supplement (each, a “New Lender Supplement”) with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1, whereupon such New Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement, and Schedule 1.2 shall be deemed to be amended to add the name and Commitment of such New Lender.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

(c) Any Lender which (i) accepts a Commitment Increase Offer pursuant to subsection 2.23(a) or (ii) with the consent of the Borrower, elects to increase its Commitment by an amount equal to all or any portion of a Declined Amount shall, in each case, execute a Commitment Increase Supplement (each, a “Commitment Increase Supplement”) with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2, whereupon such Lender shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement with respect to the full amount of its Commitment as so increased, and Schedule 1.2 shall be deemed to be amended to so increase the Commitment of such Lender.

(d) If on the date upon which a bank, financial institution or other entity becomes a New Lender pursuant to subsection 2.23(b) or upon which a Lender’s Commitment is increased pursuant to subsection 2.23(c) there is an unpaid principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans, the Borrower shall borrow Revolving Credit Loans from the Lenders and/or (subject to compliance by the Borrower with Section 2.22) prepay Revolving Credit Loans of the Lenders such that, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Credit Loans (including, without limitation, the Types thereof and Interest Periods with respect thereto) shall be held by the Lenders (including for such purposes the New Lenders) pro rata according to their respective Commitment Percentages.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, (i) in no event shall any transaction effected pursuant to this Section cause (x) the aggregate Commitments to exceed $2,750,000,000 or (y) an increase in the aggregate Commitments of an amount less than $50,000,000, (ii) the aggregate amount of any increase in Commitments pursuant to subsection 2.23(b) and (c)(ii) shall be limited to the relevant Declined Amount and (iii) no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion.

2.24 Commitment Extensions. (a) The Borrower may, not earlier than 60 days and not later than 45 days before each of the first two anniversaries of the Closing Date (each, an “Anniversary Date”), by notice to the Administrative Agent, request that the Revolving Credit Termination Date then in effect (the “Existing Revolving Credit Termination Date”) be extended to the date 364 days after the Existing Revolving Credit Termination Date. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such request.

(b) Each Lender, in its sole discretion, shall advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension. If a Lender agrees to such extension (an “Extending Lender”), it shall notify the Administrative Agent, in writing, of its decision to do so not earlier than 45 days and not later than 30 days prior to such Anniversary Date. A Lender that determines not to so extend its Commitment shall so notify the Administrative Agent promptly after making such determination and is herein called a “Non-Extending Lender”. If a Lender does not give timely notice to the Administrative Agent of whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension, it shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of each Lender’s determination not earlier than 30 days and not later than 20 days prior to the relevant Anniversary Date.

(d) The Borrower shall have the right to accept Commitments from New Lenders, each of which shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent, in an aggregate amount equal to the

CREDIT AGREEMENT

amount of the Commitments of any Non-Extending Lenders, provided that the Extending Lenders shall have the right to increase their Commitments (each such Lender being herein called an “Increasing Lender”) up to the aggregate amount of the Non-Extending Lenders’ Commitments before the Borrower shall be permitted to substitute any New Lenders for Non-Extending Lenders.

(e) If and only if (i) more than 50% of the total of the Commitments is extended or otherwise committed to by Extending Lenders and any New Lenders, and (ii) immediately prior to the relevant Anniversary Date no Default has occurred and is continuing and the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in Section 3 shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such Anniversary Date as though made on and as of such date, and subject to each New Lender having executed a New Lender Supplement (on the effective date of which such New Lender shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement), then effective on such Anniversary Date the Commitment of each Extending Lender shall be extended to the date 364 days after the Existing Revolving Credit Termination Date (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) which date shall thereafter be the Revolving Credit Termination Date; the increased Commitment of each Increasing Lender and the new Commitment of each New Lender shall take effect on such Anniversary Date; the Commitments of the Non-Extending Lenders shall be reduced pro rata on such Anniversary Date to the extent of such increased and new commitments and appropriate adjustments shall be made on such Anniversary Date to cause any then-outstanding Loans of the Lenders to be held on a pro rata basis among all Lenders; the remaining Commitment of each Non-Extending Lender shall terminate on the Existing Revolving Credit Termination Date; and the Borrower shall pay in full on the Existing Revolving Credit Termination Date all amounts payable to each Non-Extending Lender hereunder.

2.25 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.20, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.21, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on and as of the date of such notice and the date of such assignment;

(ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(f);

(iii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.22) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

CREDIT AGREEMENT

(iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.20 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.21, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(v) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law.

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

SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans, the Borrower and, in the case of Sections 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 and 3.14, each Obligor with respect to itself, hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

3.1 Financial Condition. The consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal year ended on such date, reported on by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, are complete and correct in all material respects and present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the fiscal year then ended. All such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by such accountants or Responsible Officer, as the case may be, and as disclosed therein). Neither the Borrower nor any of its consolidated Subsidiaries had, at the date of the most recent balance sheet referred to above, any material Guarantee outside the ordinary course of business, contingent liability or liability for taxes, or any long-term lease or unusual forward or long-term commitment which in the aggregate may reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, including, without limitation, any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction (except as listed on Schedule 3.1 attached hereto), which is not reflected in the foregoing statements or in the notes thereto.

3.2 No Change. Since December 31, 2005 there has been no development or event which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.3 Existence; Compliance with Law. Each Obligor and its Subsidiaries (a) is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization (provided, that no representation is made under this clause (a) with respect to any Subsidiary that is neither an Obligor nor a Material Subsidiary of an Obligor if the failure of such Subsidiary to be duly organized, validly existing or in good standing as aforesaid could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect), (b) has the power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to

CREDIT AGREEMENT

conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign entity and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction (other than that of its organization) where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law, except in the case of clause (c) or (d) above, to the extent that the failure to qualify as a foreign entity or to be in good standing or to comply with any Requirement of Law could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.4 Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Obligor has the corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver, and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to borrow hereunder and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any Notes and to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the borrowings hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents to which either Obligor is a party. This Agreement has been, and each other Loan Document to which it is a party will be, duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Obligor. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which it is a party when executed and delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Obligor enforceable against such Obligor in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

3.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which each Obligor is a party, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of such Obligor and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of its or their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation.

3.6 No Material Litigation. Except as listed on Schedule 3.6 or as previously disclosed in any public filing made by the Borrower prior to the date hereof, no litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened by or against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of its or their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) which could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.7 No Default. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect which could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

3.8 Ownership of Property; Liens. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has good record and marketable title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its real property material to the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other property material to the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and none of such property is subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 6.2.

3.9 Intellectual Property. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, technology, know-how and processes necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted except for those the failure to own or license which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (the “Intellectual Property”). No claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor does International know of any valid basis for any such claim, except for such claims that, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The use of such Intellectual Property by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person, except for such claims and infringements that, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.10 No Burdensome Restrictions. No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.11 Taxes. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns which, to the knowledge of the Borrower, are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority, except (a) any the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; no tax Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge other than any Lien permitted under Section 6.2(a).

3.12 Federal Margin Regulations. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose (whether immediate, incidental or ultimate) of buying or carrying Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of any Loans will be used directly or indirectly for the purpose (whether immediate, incidental or ultimate) of buying or carrying Margin Stock in violation of the regulations of the Board. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish to each Lender and the Administrative Agent a statement in conformity with the requirements of Federal Reserve Form FR U-1 or FR G-3, as appropriate, referred to in Regulation U, to demonstrate the compliance of any borrowing hereunder with Regulation U.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

3.13 ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor an “accumulated funding deficiency” (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Single Employer Plan that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and each Plan has complied with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code to the extent that the failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred (other than via a “standard termination” as defined in Section 4041(b) of ERISA), and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Single Employer Plan has arisen, during such five-year period that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The excess, if any, of the present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Single Employer Plans), as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, over the value of the assets of such Single Employer Plan allocable to such accrued benefits could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any liability under ERISA that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect if the Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. To the best knowledge of the Borrower, no such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent. The excess, if any, of the present value (determined using actuarial and other assumptions which are reasonable in respect of the benefits provided and the employees participating) of the liability of the Borrower for post retirement benefits to be provided to their current and former employees under Plans which are welfare benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(l) of ERISA) over the assets under all such Plans allocable to such benefits could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.14 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. Neither of the Obligors is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Neither of the Obligors is subject to regulation under any Federal or State statute or regulation (other than Regulation X of the Board) which limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.

3.15 Subsidiaries. As of the Closing Date, Schedule 3.15 lists each Subsidiary of the Borrower (and the direct and indirect ownership interest of the Borrower therein), in each case existing on March 31, 2006.

3.16 Purpose of Loans. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries solely (i) to ensure the integrity of the MasterCard payment system in the event of settlement failure by one or more of its members, including failure by one or more of its members to meet merchant payment obligations, and (ii) to refinance outstanding loans, if any, under the Existing Credit Agreement; provided, that up to $500,000,000 of the proceeds of the Loans may be used for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

3.17 Environmental Matters. Except to the extent any of the following could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:

(a) To the best knowledge of the Borrower, the facilities and properties owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Properties”) do not contain, and have not previously contained, any Materials of Environmental Concern in amounts or concentrations which (i) constitute or constituted a violation of, or (ii) could reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under, any Environmental Law.

(b) The Properties and all operations at the Properties are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Environmental Laws, and there is no contamination at, under or about the Properties or violation of any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the business operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Business”) which could materially interfere with the continued operation of the Properties or materially impair the fair saleable value thereof.

(c) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice of violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential liability regarding environmental matters or compliance with Environmental Laws with regard to any of the Properties or the Business, nor does the Borrower have knowledge or reason to believe that any such notice will be received or is being threatened.

(d) No judicial proceeding or governmental or administrative action is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, under any Environmental Law to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is or will be named as a party with respect to the Properties or the Business, nor are there any consent decrees or other decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or other orders, or other administrative or judicial requirements outstanding under any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the Business.

3.18 Solvency. The Borrower is, and after giving effect to each borrowing hereunder will be, Solvent.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by either Obligor or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity,

CREDIT AGREEMENT

effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of either Obligor to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of either Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries.

8.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation 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 (including, without limitation, counsel to either Obligor), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required hereunder), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

8.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default (other than an Event of Default consisting of failure of the Borrower to pay when due any principal of or interest on a Loan) hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative

CREDIT AGREEMENT

Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Obligors and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent 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 analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Obligors or any of their Subsidiaries. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of either Obligor or any of their Subsidiaries which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

8.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Commitment Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, (including, without limitation, enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s rights under this Section) any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

8.8 Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Obligors as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. With respect to the Loans made by it, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for

CREDIT AGREEMENT

the Lenders, which successor agent (provided that it shall have been approved by the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld)), shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder. Effective upon such appointment and approval, the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 8 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

8.10 Substitute Administrative Agent. If at any time Citibank or the Borrower reasonably determines that Citibank is prevented from carrying out its functions as Administrative Agent hereunder as contemplated hereby, Citibank or the Borrower, as the case may be, shall forthwith so notify the Borrower or Citibank, as the case may be, and the Backup Agent (and Citibank shall promptly so notify the Lenders), and the Backup Agent shall thereupon automatically assume and perform all of the functions of the Administrative Agent and shall be entitled to all of the rights and benefits of the Administrative Agent hereunder, until and only until such time as Citibank and the Borrower determine, and notify the Backup Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders) that Citibank is no longer prevented from carrying out its functions as Administrative Agent hereunder as contemplated hereby, whereupon Citibank shall automatically resume and perform all of the functions of the Administrative Agent hereunder. Each Lender agrees to the foregoing and authorizes the Backup Agent to assume and perform the functions of the Administrative Agent under the circumstances set forth above.

8.11 Arrangers, Etc. The parties designated on the cover page hereof as “Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Book Manager”, “Co-Arranger” and “Co-Syndication Agents” shall have, in their capacities as such, no responsibilities or liabilities under or in connection with this Agreement.

(d) The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees (i) to provide to the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication), promptly after the date of this Agreement, an e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

Lender, the Administrative Agent, their respective affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnitee”) from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees) with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement (including, without limitation, this Section), the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including, without limitation, any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding relating to the foregoing or any of the foregoing relating to any actual or proposed use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of either Obligor, any of their Subsidiaries or any of the Properties or arising out of the Commitments (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”), provided that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to indemnified liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. The Borrower waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages. The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither Obligor may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender.

(b) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment or Swing Line Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. No Lender shall be entitled to create in favor of any Participant, in the participation agreement pursuant to which such Participants participating interest shall be created or otherwise, any right to vote on, consent to or approve any matter relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document except for those specified in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the proviso to Section 10.1. The Borrower

CREDIT AGREEMENT

agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in subsection 10.7(a) as fully as if it were a Lender hereunder. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.17, 2.18, 2.20 and 2.21 with respect to its participation in the Commitments, Swing Line Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if it was a Lender; provided that, in the case of Section 2.21, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.

(c) Subject to the provisions of subsection 10.6(d) relating to the assignment of CAF Advances, any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time and from time to time assign to one or more banks or other financial institutions, including a finance company or fund (whether a corporation, partnership or other entity) which is engaged in making, purchasing or otherwise investing in commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business, and having total assets in excess of $500,000,000, (such bank or financial institution, an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that

(i) except in the case of an assignment (A) to a Lender or subject to giving prior written notice thereof to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, an Affiliate of a Lender which is a bank or financial institution or (B) of CAF Advances, each of the Administrative Agent and (except when a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) the Borrower must give its consent to such assignment (which in each case shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(ii) the Swing Line Lender may not transfer any portion of the Swing Line Commitment without the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(iii) in the case of any assignment to any Assignee that is not a Lender or an Affiliate thereof, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans and the aggregate amount of the Commitments and Swing Line Commitments being assigned and, if such assignment is of less than all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans and the aggregate amount of the Commitments and Swing Line Commitments remaining with the assigning Lender are each not less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent); and

CREDIT AGREEMENT

(iv) such assignment shall be evidenced by an Assignment and Acceptance, substantially in the form of Exhibit H, executed by such Assignee, such assigning Lender (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender or an Affiliate thereof, by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register.

Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment or Swing Line Commitment as set forth therein, and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph (c) and paragraph (f) of this Section, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required, and, unless requested by the Assignee and/or the assigning Lender, new Notes shall not be required to be executed and delivered by the Borrower, for any assignment which occurs at any time when any of the events described in Section 7(f) shall have occurred and be continuing.

(d) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time and from time to time assign to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (“CAF Advance Assignees”) any CAF Advance owing to such Lender, pursuant to a CAF Advance Assignment, substantially in the form of Exhibit D-4 attached hereto, executed by the assignor Lender and the CAF Advance Assignee. Upon such execution, from and after the date of such CAF Advance Assignment, the CAF Advance Assignee shall, to the extent of the assignment provided for in such CAF Advance Assignment, be deemed to have the same rights and benefits of payment and enforcement with respect to such CAF Advance and the same rights of set-off and obligation to share pursuant to Section 10.7 as it would have had if it were a Lender hereunder; provided that unless such CAF Advance Assignment shall otherwise specify and a copy of such CAF Advance Assignment shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register in accordance with subsection 10.6(e), the assignor thereunder shall act as collection agent for the CAF Advance Assignee thereunder, and the Administrative Agent shall pay all amounts received from the Borrower which are allocable to the assigned CAF Advance directly to such assignor without any further liability to such CAF Advance Assignee. A CAF Advance Assignee under a CAF Advance Assignment shall not, by virtue of such CAF Advance Assignment, become a party to this Agreement or have any rights to consent to or refrain from consenting to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of this Agreement or any related document; provided that (x) the assignor under such CAF Advance Assignment and such CAF Advance Assignee may, in their discretion, agree between themselves upon the manner in which such assignor will exercise its rights under this Agreement and any related document except no Lender shall sell any CAF Advance pursuant to which the CAF Advance Assignee shall have rights to approve any amendment or waiver to this Agreement except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) reduce the principal amount of any CAF Advance which has been assigned to such CAF Advance Assignee, (ii) reduce the rate of interest on any such CAF Advance or any fees payable in connection with such CAF Advance or (iii) extend the time of

CREDIT AGREEMENT

payment of principal or, or interest on, any such CAF Advance or any other amount owing under this Agreement and in connection with such CAF Advance, and (y) if a copy of such CAF Advance Assignment shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register in accordance with subsection 10.6(e), neither the principal amount of, the interest rate on, nor the maturity date of, any CAF Advance assigned to such CAF Advance Assignee thereunder will be modified without the written consent of such CAF Advance Assignee. If a CAF Advance Assignee has caused a CAF Advance Assignment to be recorded in the Register in accordance with subsection 10.6(e), such CAF Advance Assignee may thereafter, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, assign the CAF Advance assigned to it to any Lender, to any affiliate or subsidiary of such CAF Advance Assignee or to any other financial institution with the consent of the Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (c) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to any such assignment by a CAF Advance Assignee. Except in accordance with the preceding sentence, CAF Advances may not be further assigned by a CAF Advance Assignee, subject to any legal or regulatory requirement that the CAF Advance Assignee’s assets must remain under its control.

(e) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain at the address of the Administrative Agent referred to in Section 10.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may (and, in the case of any Loan or other obligation hereunder not evidenced by a Note, shall) treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any assignment of any Loan or other obligation hereunder not evidenced by a Note shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(f) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender or an affiliate thereof, by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 and (if the Assignee is not a Lender) delivery to the Administrative Agent of such Assignee’s Administrative Questionnaire, the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Borrower.

(g) The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

(h) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.

10.7 Adjustments; Set-off. (a) If any Lender (a “benefitted Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 7(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans, or interest thereon, such benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loan, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to either Obligor, any such notice being expressly waived by each of them to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by either Obligor hereunder (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of such Obligor; provided that no such set-off and application may be made against deposits in the accounts listed on Schedule 10.7(b) attached hereto. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify such Obligor and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with International and the Administrative Agent.

10.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

10.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Obligors, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

10.11 Termination of Commitments and Swing Line Commitments. The Commitments and Swing Line Commitments shall terminate if the conditions to closing set forth in Section 4.1 shall not be satisfied on or before May 2, 2006.

W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS, this CAF Advance Assignment is being executed and delivered in accordance with subsection 10.6(c) of the Credit Agreement, dated as of April 28, 2006, among MasterCard Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), MasterCard International Incorporated, a Delaware corporation, the Assignor Lender and the other Lenders parties thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Backup Agent for the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent (as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Credit Agreement”; unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined therein being used herein as therein defined); and

4. By executing and delivering this CAF Advance Assignment, the Assignor Lender and the CAF Advance Assignee confirm to and agree with each other and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as follows: (i) other than the representation and warranty that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned hereby free and clear of any adverse claim and has the corporate power and authority, and the legal right to sell, assign and transfer the CAF Advance to the CAF Advance Assignee, the Assignor Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with the Credit Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or with respect to the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of the Credit Agreement or such other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) the Assignor Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under the Credit Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) the CAF Advance Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 3.1, the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.1, if any, and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this CAF Advance Assignment; (iv) the CAF Advance Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent the Assignor Lender 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 respect of the Credit Agreement; and (v) the CAF Advance Assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, all in accordance with Section 8 of the Credit Agreement.

5. Each party hereto represents and warrants to and agrees with the Administrative Agent that it is aware of and will comply with the provisions of Section 10.6 of the Credit Agreement.

Administrative Agent under said Agreement.

Dear Sirs:

I am General Counsel of MasterCard Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”) and MasterCard International Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“International” and together with the Borrower, the “Obligors”), and am familiar with the Credit Agreement, dated as of April 28, 2006 (the “Agreement”), among the Borrower, International, the banks and other financial institutions parties thereto (the “Lenders”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Backup Agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Backup Agent”), and Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”). This opinion is delivered to you pursuant to subsection 4.1(h)(i) of the Agreement. Terms used herein which are defined in the Agreement shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Agreement, unless otherwise defined herein.

In connection with this opinion, I have examined an executed copy of the Agreement, and such corporate documents and records of each Obligor and its Subsidiaries and certificates of public officials and officers of each Obligor and its Subsidiaries, and such other documents, as I have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. For the purposes of this opinion, I have assumed (i) the genuineness of all signatures of, and the authority of, Persons signing the Agreement on behalf of parties thereto other than the Obligors, (ii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals and (iii) the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to me as certified, conformed or photostatic copies.

Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

i. Each Obligor and its Subsidiaries (a) is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (to the extent applicable) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, (b) has the power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged and (c) is duly qualified as a foreign entity and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

ii. The execution, delivery and performance by each Obligor of the Agreement are within the corporate powers of such Obligor, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action (including any necessary shareholder approval), require no governmental approval, and do not contravene any law or regulation applicable to, including, without limitation, Regulation T, U or X of the Board, or any contractual restriction binding on, each Obligor.

iii. The Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Obligor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Obligor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the borrowings hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance or validity of the Agreement other than those expressly required by the terms of the Agreement.

iv. To the best of my knowledge after due inquiry, except to the extent set forth in Schedule 3.6 attached to the Agreement or as previously disclosed in any public filings made by the Borrower, there are no pending or threatened actions or proceedings affecting either Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries which, if determined adversely to either Obligor or such Subsidiary, would have a Material Adverse Effect.

v. Neither Obligor is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

I am a member of the Bar of the State of New York and express no opinion on any laws other than the laws of the State of New York, the Delaware Corporation Law and the federal laws of the United States.

Very truly yours,

[FORM OF OPINION OF SPECIAL NEW YORK COUNSEL TO THE

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT]

, 2006

To each of the Lenders,

the Backup Agent, and

the Administrative Agent party to the

Credit Agreement referred to below

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special New York counsel to Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) in connection with the Credit Agreement dated as of April 28, 2006 (the “Credit Agreement”) among MasterCard Incorporated (the “Borrower”), MasterCard International Incorporated (the “Guarantor” and, together with the Borrower, the “Credit Parties”), the several banks and other financial institutions from time to time parties thereto (the “Lenders”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as back-up administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Backup Agent”) and the Administrative Agent.

This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 4.1(h)(ii) of the Credit Agreement. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as therein defined.

In arriving at the opinions expressed below, we have examined and relied on an executed counterpart of the Credit Agreement and we have made such investigations of law as we have deemed appropriate for purposes of this opinion.

In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. When relevant facts were not independently established, we have relied upon representations made in or pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have assumed, with respect to the Credit Agreement, that:

(i) the Credit Agreement has been duly authorized by, has been duly executed and delivered by, and (except to the extent set forth in the opinions below as to the Credit Parties) constitutes the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of, all of the parties thereto;

(ii) all signatories to the Credit Agreement have been duly authorized;

(iii) all of the parties to the Credit Agreement are duly organized and validly existing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of incorporation and have the power and authority (corporate or other) to execute, deliver and perform the Credit Agreement.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and subject also to the comments and qualifications set forth below, and having considered such questions of law as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below, we are of the opinion that the Credit Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the Credit Parties party thereto, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and except as the enforceability thereof is subject to the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), including, without limitation, (a) the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief or any other equitable remedy and (b) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing.

The foregoing opinions are subject to the following comments and qualifications:

(A) The enforceability of Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement may be limited by laws limiting the enforceability of provisions releasing, exculpating or exempting a party from or requiring indemnification of a party for its own action or inaction, to the extent the action or inaction involves gross negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct or unlawful conduct.

(B) The enforceability of provisions in the Credit Agreement to the effect that terms may not be waived or modified except in writing may be limited under certain circumstances.

(C) We express no opinion as to (i) the effect of the laws of any jurisdiction in which any Lender is located (other than the State of New York) that limit the interest, fees or other charges such Lender may impose for the loan or use of money or other credit, (ii) Sections 10.6(b) and 10.7(b) of the Credit Agreement to the extent they purport to grant a right of set-off, (iii) Section 10.13(a) of the Credit Agreement, insofar as it relates to the subject matter jurisdiction of any court of the United States of America sitting in the Southern District of New York to adjudicate any controversy related to the Credit Agreement, (iv) Section 10.13(b) of the Credit Agreement insofar as it relates to inconvenient forum with respect to any Federal court and (v) Section 10.9 of the Credit Agreement.

(D) We express no opinion as to the applicability to the obligations of the Guarantor under Section 9 of the Credit Agreement (or the enforceability of such obligations under) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Article 10 of the New York Debtor and Creditor Law or any other provision of law relating to fraudulent conveyances, transfers or obligations, or the provisions of the law of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Guarantor restricting dividends, loans or other distributions by a corporation for the benefit of its stockholders.

(E) Section 9(b) of the Credit Agreement may not be enforceable to the extent that the Guaranteed Obligations are materially modified.

The foregoing opinions are limited to matters involving the Federal laws of the United States of America and the law of the State of New York, and we do not express any opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction.

This opinion letter is, pursuant to Section 4.1(h)(ii) of the Credit Agreement, provided to you by us in our capacity as special New York counsel to the Agent and may not be relied upon by any Person for any purpose other than in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement without, in each instance, our prior written consent.

Very truly yours,

WFC/RMG
