Share."
3
SECTION 4. Amendment to Section 2.06. Section 2.06 of the Credit
Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new Subparagraph (d) at the

Commitment and (ii) the "Used Commitment" as defined in the FIL Credit

EXPLANATION
The Applicable Margin with respect to the LIBOR Rate Loans, the LC Usage Fee (as
applicable) and the Commitment Fee Percentage will be determined based on FIL's
Senior Debt Rating assigned by S&P and Xxxxx'x as follows:
1. In the event FIL does not have a Senior Debt Rating from either S&P or
Xxxxx'x, then such rating agency will be deemed for purposes hereof to
have established a Senior Debt Rating for FIL below BB- and Ba3,
respectively.
2. If the Senior Debt Rating established or deemed to have been established
by S&P and Xxxxx'x are split within different categories above, then the
lower rating shall apply (with Pricing Level 3 being lower than Pricing
Level 2).
3. Any change in FIL's Senior Debt Rating shall be effective on the date such
change is first announced by the rating agency making such change.
In addition, the Borrower will pay the utilization fee specified in the fifth
column above as provided in Section 2.06 of the Credit Agreement.
