SECTION 2. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE CREDIT FACILITY

2.1. The Commitments; Increase in Total Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding that will not result in such Lender’s Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Commitment (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.19(a) with respect to the Swingline Lender). During the Commitment Period the Borrower may use the Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event may Loans be borrowed under this Section 2 if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Total Exposures at such time would exceed the Total Commitments then in effect. The Loans may from time to time be Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.6.

(b) In the event that the Borrower wishes from time to time to increase the Total Commitments, it shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of the amount (the “Commitment Increase Amount”) of such proposed increase (such notice, a “Commitment Increase Notice”), and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of such proposed increase. The Borrower may, at its election (i) offer one or more of the Lenders the opportunity to participate in all or a portion of the Commitment Increase Amount pursuant to paragraph (d) below and/or (ii) with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), offer one or more additional banks, financial institutions or other entities the opportunity to participate in all or a portion of the Commitment Increase Amount pursuant to paragraph (c) below. Each Commitment Increase Notice shall specify which Lenders and/or banks, financial institutions or other entities the Borrower desires to participate in such Commitment increase. The Borrower or, if requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, will notify such Lenders and/or banks, financial institutions or other entities of such offer. Each Commitment Increase Amount shall be at least $50,000,000.

(c) Any additional bank, financial institution or other entity which the Borrower selects to offer participation in the increased Commitments and which elects to become a party to this Agreement and provide a Commitment in an amount so offered and accepted by it pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(ii) shall execute a New Lender Supplement with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit F, whereupon such bank, financial institution or other entity (herein called a “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 1.1 shall be deemed to be amended to add the name and Commitment of such New Lender, provided that the Commitment of any such new Lender shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000.

(d) Any Lender which accepts an offer to it by the Borrower to increase its Commitment pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(i) shall, in each case, execute a Commitment Increase Supplement with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit G, 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 1.1 shall be deemed to be amended to so increase the Commitment of such Lender.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1, (i) in no event shall any increase effected pursuant to this Section 2.1 cause the Total Commitments hereunder to exceed $1,875,000,000 and (ii) no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion.

(f) On the effective date of each increase in the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.1 and notwithstanding other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary (i) the Lenders shall make such payments as shall be directed by the Administrative Agent in order that the outstanding Loans shall be held ratably by the Lenders based on their respective Commitments and (ii) participations in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Participation Amounts shall be deemed to be reallocated according to the respective Commitments of the Lenders. Payments of interest, fees and commissions with respect to the Loans, Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit shall be made to give effect to any adjustments in the Loans and participations in the Letters of Credit made pursuant to this Section 2.1.

(g) On the effective date of each increase in the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.1, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b), (c), (e) (with appropriate modifications) and (f) of Section 5.1 shall have been satisfied with respect to such increased Commitments as if such paragraphs applied to such increase, mutatis mutandis.

2.2. Procedure for Borrowing. The Borrower may borrow under the Commitments during the Commitment Period on any Business Day, provided that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice, which notice must be executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and received by the Administrative Agent prior to (a) 11:00 A.M., New York City time, two Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or (b) 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the requested Borrowing

Date, in the case of ABR Loans. Each such notice shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, (ii) the requested Borrowing Date, (iii) whether the borrowing is to be of Eurodollar Loans, ABR Loans, or a combination thereof and (iv) if the borrowing is to be entirely or partly of Eurodollar Loans, the respective lengths of the initial Interest Periods therefor. Each borrowing under the Commitments shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of ABR Loans, $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (y) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided that (i) a borrowing under the Commitments that is an ABR Loan may be in any aggregate amount that is required to finance the reimbursement of all or a part of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 3.5 and (ii) the Swingline Lender may request, on behalf of the Borrower, borrowings of ABR Loans in other amounts pursuant to Section 2.20(b). Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. Each Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 9.2 prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders promptly upon receipt thereof and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent; provided that (x) Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 3.5 shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Lender and (y) Loans made to finance the reimbursement of a Swingline Loan as provided in Section 2.20(b) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender. Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.19.

2.3. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a Facility Fee for the period from and including the first day of the Commitment Period to and excluding the Termination Date, computed at the Facility Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Commitment of such Lender (or, following termination of the Commitment of such Lender, on the average daily amount of the Exposure of such Lender) during the period for which payment is made, payable in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Termination Date and, following termination of the Commitments, on demand.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account any fees separately agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing.

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (including the Issuing Lender) a Letter of Credit Participation Fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the Letter of Credit Participation Fee Rate on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Lender a fronting fee (the “Letter of Credit Fronting Fee”), which shall accrue at the rate per annum separately agreed with the Issuing Lender on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during

the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Lender’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal, extension or administration of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder, such standard fees of JPMorgan Chase Bank as Issuing Lender as in effect as of the Closing Date having been disclosed in writing to Borrower prior to the Closing Date. Letter of Credit Participation Fees and Letter of Credit Fronting Fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on each such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Lender pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 15 Business Days after demand.

(d) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a Utilization Fee for the period from and including the first day of the Commitment Period to and excluding the Termination Date, computed at the Utilization Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Exposure of such Lender for each Excess Utilization Day during the period for which payment is made, payable in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Termination Date and, following termination of the Commitments, on demand.

2.4. Repayment of Loans and Swingline Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan of such Lender on the Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 7) and (ii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan as set forth in Section 2.19(c). The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.8. The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Swingline Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Sections 2.8 and 2.19.

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

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 9.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan and Swingline Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 2.4(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 account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans and Swingline Loans made to the 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 Loans (and, in the case of the Swingline Lender, the Swingline Loans) of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit A with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (a “Note”).

2.5. Prepayments and Termination or Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Borrower may, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate or reduce the unutilized amount of the Commitments. Any reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount equal to $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall reduce permanently the Commitments then in effect.

(b) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon at least three Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans, ABR Loans or a combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 and (except in the case of ABR Loans) accrued interest to but excluding such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

(c) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Swingline Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender received no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the day of the proposed prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Cost of Funds Rate Loans, ABR Loans or a combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with [any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15] and accrued interest to but excluding such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Swingline Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans.

2.6. Conversion and Continuation Options. ABR Loans may, at any time, be converted into Eurodollar Loans and Eurodollar Loans may, on the last day of any Interest Period applicable thereto, be converted into ABR Loans or continued as Eurodollar Loans (the date of any such conversion, the “Conversion Date”), as follows:

(a) In order to continue outstanding Eurodollar Loans as Eurodollar Loans for another Interest Period, or to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice thereof prior to 11:00 A.M. New York City time, two Business Days before the first day of the Interest Period to be applicable to such continued or converted Eurodollar Loans, which notice shall specify the length of the Interest Period requested by the Borrower to be applicable to such Loans.

(b) No Loan may be converted into, or continued as, a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such a continuation.

(c) If the Borrower fails to give a notice as described above in this Section 2.6 to continue an outstanding Eurodollar Loan or to convert such Loan to an ABR Loan, or if such continuation or conversion is not permitted pursuant to paragraph (b) above, such Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of the then expiring Interest Period applicable to such Loans.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of each notice received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.6.

(e) This Section shall not apply to Swingline Loans, which may not be continued or converted (it being understood that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Swingline Loans may be reborrowed on the same day other Swingline Loans are being repaid).

2.7. Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of Tranches. All borrowings, prepayments, conversions and continuations of 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 Loans comprising each Eurodollar 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 five Eurodollar Tranches outstanding at any time.

2.8. Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin therefor.

(b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest for each day from the applicable Borrowing Date at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin therefor.

(c) Each Swingline Loan shall bear interest for each day from the applicable Borrowing Date at the applicable rate provided in Section 2.19.

(d) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan, Swingline Loan or reimbursement obligation in respect of any LC Disbursement, (ii) any interest payable thereon or

(iii) any fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, bear interest at a rate per annum which is equal to the rate applicable to ABR Loans pursuant to Section 2.8(b) plus 2% from the date of such non-payment to (but excluding) the date on which such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

(e) Interest 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.

2.9. Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate 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 Facility Fees, Letter of Credit Participation Fees, Letter of Credit Fronting Fees and Utilization Fees 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 Eurodollar 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 deliver to the Borrower upon request a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.8(a) or (b).

2.10. 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, absent manifest error) that the Eurodollar Rate can not be determined by any of the means set forth in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate” and, by reason of circumstances affecting the eurodollar market, quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits are not being provided to JPMorgan Chase Bank in the relevant amount or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the Eurodollar 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, absent manifest error) 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 Eurodollar Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any ABR Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be converted, on the first day of such Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Each such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent upon any change in such determination of the adequacies and fairness of the Eurodollar Rate, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly withdraw its notice to the Borrower following receipt of such notices from the Required Lenders.

Until such withdrawal by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans.

2.11. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower of any Facility Fee, Letter of Credit Participation Fee or Utilization Fee hereunder, each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Loans, and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the Percentages of the Lenders, in each case except to the extent another provision of this Agreement specifies a different treatment. 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 4:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent (except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein), for the account of the Lenders, at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in Section 9.2, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the 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 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 Effective 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 pro rata share 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 repayment of such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum otherwise applicable to such Loans hereunder, on demand, from the Borrower and, upon such payment, no further interest shall be payable with respect to such amount. The payment of interest by a Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any right the Borrower may have against such Lender for such Lender’s failure to make Loans to the Borrower as required hereunder.

2.12. 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 Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement (a) such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, (b) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans,

continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be cancelled and (c) such Lender’s outstanding Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law.

2.13. Additional Costs. (a) If, as a result of any Regulatory Change:

(i) any Lender or the Issuing Lender shall be subject to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to amounts payable to it under this Agreement or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the Issuing Lender in respect thereof is changed (except, in each case, for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.14, net income taxes and franchise taxes, and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender); or

(ii) any reserve, special deposit, or capital adequacy, or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, any Lender or the Issuing Lender are imposed, modified, or deemed applicable; or

(iii) any other condition affecting this Agreement, any Eurodollar Loans or any Letter of Credit or participation therein is imposed on any Lender or the Issuing Lender after the date hereof; and

any Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, determines that, by reason thereof, the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining its Commitment or any of its Eurodollar Loans to the Borrower, or the cost (including reduced rate of return) to such Lender or the Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit, as the case may be, is increased or any amount receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Lender hereunder in respect of any of such Loans or Letters of Credit is reduced, in each case by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender or the Issuing Lender to be material (such increases in cost and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, upon its request the additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such Additional Costs within 15 Business Days after written notice of such Additional Costs is received by the Borrower; provided, however, that if all or any such Additional Costs would not have been payable or incurred but for such Lender’s voluntary decision to designate a new Lending Office, the Borrower shall have no obligation under this Section 2.13 to compensate such Lender for such amount relating to such Lender’s decision; provided, further, that the Borrower shall not be required to make any payments to such Lender or the Issuing Lender for Additional Costs resulting from capital adequacy requirements incurred more than 60 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor. Each Lender will notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any Regulatory Change occurring after the date of this Agreement which will entitle such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.13(a) as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation. If such Lender or the Issuing Lender requests compensation under this Section 2.13(a) in respect of any Regulatory Change, the Borrower

may, by notice to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as applicable, require that such Lender or the Issuing Lender forward to the Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof.

(b) Without limiting the effect of the provisions of Section 2.13(a) (but without duplication thereof), the Borrower will pay to any Lender, within 15 Business Days of receipt by the Borrower of notice from such Lender, for each day such Lender is required to maintain reserves against “Eurocurrency liabilities” under Regulation D of the Board as in effect on the date of this Agreement, an additional amount determined by such Lender equal to the product of the following:

(i) the principal amount of the Eurodollar Loan;

(ii) the remainder of (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Loan and the denominator of which is one minus the rate at which such reserve requirements are imposed on such Lender on such day minus (y) such numerator; and

(iii) 1/360.

Such Lender shall request payment under this Section 2.13(b) by giving notice to the Borrower as of the last day of each Interest Period for each Eurodollar Loan (and, if such Interest Period exceeds three months’ duration, also as of three months, or a whole multiple thereof, after the first day of such Interest Period). Such notice shall specify the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. Such Lender shall provide any evidence of such requirement to maintain reserves as the Borrower may reasonably request.

(c) Determinations by any Lender or the Issuing Lender for purposes of this Section 2.13 of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made absent manifest error.

2.14. 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, the Issuing Lender or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender 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, the Issuing Lender or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document), unless the Borrower is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or any Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender hereunder or under any Note, the amounts so payable to the

Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts they would have received had no such obligation been imposed on the Borrower; 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 that are attributable to such Lender’s designation of a different Lending Office (provided that such Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed at the time of the first payment to such Lender under this Agreement following such designation and excluding any designation required by any Requirement of Law or occurring pursuant to Section 2.16) or failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d) of this Section 2.14.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes (other than Other Taxes that are being or promptly will be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP, provided that the Borrower shall be permitted not to pay such Other Taxes being so contested only so long as such nonpayment could not reasonably be expected to have any adverse effect on the rights or remedies of the Lenders hereunder or under any other Loan Document) to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (other than Other Taxes that are being or promptly will be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP, provided that the Borrower shall be permitted not to pay such Other Taxes being so contested only so long as such nonpayment could not reasonably be expected to have any adverse effect on the rights or remedies of the Lenders hereunder or under any other Loan Document) are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Administrative Agent or the relevant Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, certificates or other valid vouchers or receipts received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other 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, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender as a result of any such failure.

(d) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (certifying as to entitlement to treaty benefits) or Form W-8ECI (claiming exemption from withholding because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business), or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. 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 B and a Form W-8BEN (certifying as to beneficial ownership), or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption

from U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender, or upon the reasonable request by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Each Non-U.S. Lender agrees to (i) promptly notify the Administrative Agent and Borrower if any fact set forth in any such certificate ceases to be true and correct and (ii) take such steps and may be reasonably necessary to avoid any applicable Requirements of Law that Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to the Non-U.S. Lender under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph after the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, after the date such Participant purchases the related participation) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

2.15. 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 a borrowing of Eurodollar Loans or in the conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans, after the Borrower has given a notice requesting or accepting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if applicable, 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 but excluding the last day of the relevant Interest Period (or proposed Interest Period) at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin) 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.

2.16. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that if it makes any demand for payment under Sections 2.13 or 2.14(a), or if any adoption or change of the type described in Section 2.12 shall occur with respect to it, it will use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions and so long as such efforts would not be disadvantageous to it, as determined in its sole discretion) to designate a different Lending Office if the making of such a designation would reduce or obviate the need for the Borrower to make payments under Sections 2.13 or 2.14(a), or would eliminate or reduce the effect of any adoption or change described in Section 2.12.

2.17. Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender (a) which requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Sections 2.13 or 2.14 (for itself or its Participant) or for which amounts are otherwise payable by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.14, (b) which is affected in the manner described in Section 2.12 and as a result thereof any of the actions described in said Section is required to be taken, (c) which defaults in its obligation to make Loans hereunder, with a replacement bank or other financial institution or (d) which is a Declining Lender; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the Borrower shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par), without duplication, all Loans, participations in LC Disbursements, participating interests in Swingline Loans, Swingline Participation Amounts and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.15 if any outstanding Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be prepaid (or purchased) other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6 (c) and (e) (provided that the Borrower or the replacement bank or institution shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (vii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Sections 2.13 or 2.14, as the case may be, and (viii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights which the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

2.18. Extension Option. The Borrower may request that the Total Commitments be renewed for additional one year periods by providing notice of such request to the Administrative Agent no earlier than a number of days specified by the Administrative Agent from time to time prior to the then next occurring anniversary of the Closing Date (each, a “Noticed Anniversary Date”). If a Lender agrees, in its individual and sole discretion, to extend its Commitment (an “Extending Lender”), it will notify the Administrative Agent, in writing, of its decision to do so no later than a number of days prior to the applicable Noticed Anniversary Date specified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (but in any event not later than 20 days prior to such Noticed Anniversary Date). The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower, in writing, of the Lenders’ decisions no later than 5 days prior to such Noticed Anniversary Date. The Extending Lenders’ Commitments will be renewed for an additional one year from the then existing Termination Date and such extended Termination Date shall become the Termination Date (except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.18 as to Declining Lenders), provided that (i) more than 50% of the Total Commitments is extended or otherwise committed to by Extending Lenders and any new Lenders and (ii) all representations and warranties made by the Borrower in or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date as if made on and as of such date, except (A) any representations and warranties which are explicitly stated as having been made as of a specific date, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date and (B) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.2 and 4.7 shall not be required to be restated. Any Lender that declines or does not respond to the Borrower’s request for commitment renewal (a “Declining Lender”) will have its Commitment terminated on the earlier of (i) the then existing Termination Date (without regard to any

renewals by other Lenders) (the “Existing Termination Date”) and (ii) the date such Declining Lender is replaced in accordance with Section 2.17, and at such time the Borrower shall repay all Loans, participations in LC Disbursements, participating interests in Swingline Loans and Swingline Participation Amounts and other amounts owing to such Declining Lender. The Borrower will have the right to accept commitments from third party financial institutions acceptable to the Administrative Agent in an amount up to the amount of the Commitments of any Declining Lenders, provided that the Extending Lenders will have the right to increase their Commitments up to the amount of the Declining Lenders’ Commitments before the Borrower will be permitted to substitute any other financial institutions for the Declining Lenders. The Borrower may only so extend the Termination Date five times. The Termination Date may not be extended beyond February 23, 2017. Pursuant to the First Amendment, the Termination Date for $2,402,000,000.00 of the Commitments was extended to February 25, 2013; such Extending Lenders and their Commitments are set forth on Schedule 2.18.

2.19. Swingline Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender agrees to make a portion of the credit otherwise available to the Borrower under the Commitments from time to time during the Commitment Period by making swing line loans (“Swingline Loans”) to the Borrower; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect (notwithstanding that the Swingline Loans outstanding at any time, when aggregated with the Swingline Lender’s outstanding Loans (other than Swingline Loans), may exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect) and (ii) the Borrower shall not request, and the Swingline Lender shall not make, any Swingline Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such Swingline Loan, the Total Exposures would exceed the Total Commitments. During the Commitment Period, the Borrower may use the Swingline Commitment by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Swingline Loans shall be ABR Loans or Cost of Funds Rate Loans only.

(b) A Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan, unless the Borrower has requested a Cost of Funds Rate Loan at a Cost of Funds Rate quoted by the Swingline Lender and confirmed by the Borrower pursuant to the following procedures. If the Borrower desires a Cost of Funds Rate Loan (i) the Borrower shall request a quote for a Cost of Funds Rate Loan, and the Swingline Lender shall within a reasonable time after receipt of the request directly contact the Borrower (which may be done by telephone) with its Cost of Funds Rate (confirmed by telecopy), (ii) the Borrower shall immediately inform the Swingline Lender of its decision as to whether to request a Cost of Funds Rate Loan at the Cost of Funds Rate (which may be done by telephone and promptly confirmed in writing and which decision shall be irrevocable), and (iii) if the Borrower has so informed the Swingline Lender that it does desire a Cost of Funds Rate Loan at the Cost of Funds Rate, the Swingline Lender shall promptly make such Cost of Funds Rate Loan available to the Borrower. At all times such Loan is a Cost of Funds Rate Loan, the Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of such Cost of Funds Rate Loan from the date of such Cost of Funds Rate Loan until such principal amount shall be paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Cost of Funds Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans in effect from time to time.

(c) The Borrower shall repay to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan and accrued interest thereon on the earlier of the

Termination Date and the date that is five Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made (or such earlier date on which the Swingline Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 7); provided that on each date that a Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) is borrowed, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.

2.20. Procedure for Swingline Borrowing; Refunding of Swingline Loans. (a) The Borrower may borrow under the Swingline Commitment during the Commitment Period on any Business Day, provided that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice, which notice must be executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and received by the Administrative Agent prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the requested Borrowing Date. Each such notice shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date. Each borrowing under the Swingline Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; provided that a borrowing under the Swingline Commitment may be in any amount (subject to Section 2.19(a)) that is required to finance the reimbursement of all or a part of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 3.5. The Swingline Lender will make the amount of each borrowing under the Swingline Facility available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 9.2 prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of such office with the amount made available to the Administrative Agent by the Swingline Lender promptly upon receipt thereof and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent; provided that Swingline Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 3.5 shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Lender.

(b) The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), on one Business Day’s notice given by the Swingline Lender no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, request each Lender to make, and each Lender hereby agrees to make, a Loan, in an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”) outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swingline Lender. Each Lender shall make the amount of such Loan available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 9.2 prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, one Business Day after the date of such notice in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. The proceeds of such Loans will then be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender for application by the Swingline Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans.

(c) If prior to the time a Loan could have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.20(b), one of the events described in Section 7(e) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swingline Lender in its sole discretion, Loans are not or cannot be made as contemplated by Section 2.20(b), each Lender shall, on the date such Loan should have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.20(b), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the

then outstanding Swingline Loans by paying to the Swingline Lender an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such Lender’s Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding that were to have been repaid with such Loans.

(d) Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Lender such Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of the Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swingline Participation 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 and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swingline Lender.

(e) Each Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.20(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.20(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swingline 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 the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (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 or any other Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT

3.1. General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender and in all respects consistent with the terms of this Agreement, at any time and from time to time during the period from and including the Closing Date to the date which is 15 Business Days prior to the Termination Date. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Lender relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

3.2. Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Lender) to the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent (three Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be

a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 3.3), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Lender, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Lender’s standard form (it being understood that this Agreement shall govern in the event of any inconsistency between any such application and this Agreement) in connection with any request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $1,000,000,000 and (ii) the sum of the Total Exposures shall not exceed the Total Commitments. Letters of Credit issued under the Existing Credit Agreement which are outstanding on the Closing Date shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement on the Closing Date.

3.3. Expiration Date. No Letter of Credit shall expire later than the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is one year following the Termination Date; provided that (A) with respect to any Letter of Credit having an expiration date beyond the Termination Date, the Borrower shall cash collateralize such Letter of Credit on the Termination Date in an amount equal to the amount of such Letter of Credit and otherwise on terms satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or the Borrower shall provide to the Issuing Lender a standby letter of credit in an amount equal to the amount of such Letter of Credit and otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Issuing Lender, (B) no Letter of Credit may terminate after the Existing Termination Date if, after giving effect to such Letter of Credit, the Total Commitments of the Extending Lenders (including any entity that becomes a Lender pursuant to Section 2.17) for the period following the Existing Termination Date would be less than the LC Exposure of the Letters of Credit expiring after the Existing Termination Date and (C) the Letter of Credit participations of any Declining Lender provided for in Section 3.4 shall terminate on the Existing Termination Date.

3.4. Participations. By the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Lender or the Lenders, the Issuing Lender hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Lender, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Lender and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 3.5, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against the Issuing 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 the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, the Issuing Lender, any Lender or any other Person, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower or any other Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

3.5. Reimbursement. If the Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 4:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 12:00 P.M., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 4:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice; provided that (a) if the unreimbursed amount of such LC Disbursement is $5,000,000 or less or (b) if the unreimbursed amount of all LC Disbursements made by the Issuing Lender on any given Business Day are, in the aggregate, $5,000,000 or less, the Borrower may reimburse such unreimbursed amount or, if the Borrower does not do so (i) the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, finance such unreimbursed amount on behalf of the Lenders with an ABR Loan in an equivalent amount (and, if not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower, shall notify the Lenders of the making of such ABR Loan) or (ii) the Swingline Lender may, in its discretion, finance such unreimbursed amount with a Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount. If the unreimbursed amount of such LC Disbursement(s) is more than $5,000,000 and the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement(s) when due or the Swingline Lender has failed to make a Swingline Loan to reimburse such LC Disbursement(s) when due, or if the unreimbursed amount of such LC Disbursement(s) is $5,000,000 or less and the Administrative Agent has not funded an ABR Loan or the Swingline Lender has not funded a Swingline Loan in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the unreimbursed amount of each applicable LC Disbursement and such Lender’s Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice (or notice that the Administrative Agent has funded an ABR Loan or the Swingline Lender has funded a Swingline Loan in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of each such LC Disbursement (it being understood that each Lender hereby agrees to pay such amount notwithstanding that any condition to the making of a Loan hereunder may not be satisfied), in the same manner as provided in Section 2.2 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.11(b) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.5), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Loans or Swingline Loans as contemplated above) shall be treated as an ABR Loan that is immediately due and payable in the principal amount of such LC Disbursement. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Lender or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this Section to reimburse the Issuing Lender, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Lender as their interests may appear.

3.6. Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 3.5 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Lender, nor any of their directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Lender from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in (i) making payment under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that on its face does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (ii) failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit against presentation of any draft or other document that is in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iii) retaining drafts or other documents presented under a Letter of Credit. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

3.7. Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Lender shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Lender has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

3.8. Interim Interest. If the Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and

including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement by payment or by an ABR Loan, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement within one Business Day of the date when due pursuant to Section 3.5, then Section 2.8(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to Section 3.5 to reimburse the Issuing Lender shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

3.9. Replacement of the Issuing Lender. The Issuing Lender may be replaced at any time (i) by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Lender and the successor Issuing Lender or (ii) at the Borrower’s election by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender to be replaced but only if the credit rating of the Lender then serving as Issuing Lender is not, at the time of such election, reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.3(c). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Lender, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Lender hereunder, the replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and Swingline Loans and issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, as the case may be, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

4.1. Financial Condition. (i) 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, and (ii) the consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at September 30, 2006 and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the nine-month period ended on such date, copies of which have been included, respectively, in the Borrower’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal year and nine-month period, respectively, ended as of such dates, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such dates, and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the fiscal year and nine-month period, respectively, then ended. Such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the period involved (subject, in the case of unaudited interim financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments).

4.2. No Change. From September 30, 2006, there has been no development or event which has had a Material Adverse Effect.

4.3. Corporate Existence. The Borrower (a) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of California and has the corporate 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 (b) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.4. Corporate Power; No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery, and performance by the Borrower of this Agreement and any Note are within its corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and do not violate any provision of law or any agreement, indenture, note, or other instrument binding upon or affecting it or its charter or by-laws or give cause for acceleration of any of its Indebtedness, except to the extent that such violation or acceleration would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.5. Authorization; Enforceability. All authorizations, approvals, and other actions by, and notices to and filings with all Governmental Authorities required for the due execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and any Note have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, except to the extent that the failure to obtain or make, or to have in full force and effect, such authorizations, approvals, other actions, notices and filings would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of this Agreement and each Note executed in connection herewith is a legally valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable in accordance with its terms except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws or equitable principles relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally.

4.6. ERISA. No “prohibited transaction” (as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) or “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA) or “reportable event” (herein defined as any of the events set forth in Section 4043(b) of ERISA or the regulations thereunder) has occurred in the last five years with respect to any Plan which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries. The present value of all benefits vested under all Plans maintained by the Borrower or any Commonly Controlled Entity (based on those assumptions used to fund the Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date, exceed the value of the assets of the Plan allocable to such vested benefits.

4.7. No Material Litigation. There are no legal or arbitral proceedings or any proceedings by or before any governmental or regulatory authority or agency, now pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary of the Borrower which have not been disclosed in public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (a) that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (b) with respect to any of the Loan Documents.

4.8. Taxes. All United States Federal income tax returns of the Borrower and its Significant Subsidiaries that file consolidated income tax returns with the Borrower have been examined and closed through the fiscal year of the Borrower ended December 31, 1993. The Borrower and such Significant Subsidiaries have filed all United States Federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns which are required to be filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Borrower or any such Significant Subsidiary, except (a) any taxes that are being or promptly will be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower or such Significant Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP or (b) any taxes that are immaterial in amount. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and such Significant Subsidiaries in respect of any taxes and other governmental charges are, in the opinion of the Borrower, adequate.

4.9. Purpose of Loans. The proceeds of the Loans and Swingline Loans shall be used by the Borrower for general corporate and working capital purposes (including to refinance and repay its commercial paper issuances). Letters of Credit shall be issued for general corporate purposes of the Borrower. No part of the proceeds of any Loans and Swingline Loans, and no other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used for “buying” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect.

4.10. No Default. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Significant Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents do not contravene any provision of the Indenture.

4.11. Environmental Matters. The Borrower and its Significant Subsidiaries do not have liabilities under Environmental Laws or relating to Materials of Environmental Concern that have not been disclosed in public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission as of the Closing Date that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 8. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

8.1. Appointment. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender 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.

8.2. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to the Lenders for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

8.3. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (i) liable to any Lender 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 the Borrower 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, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of the Borrower 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 the Borrower.

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, telex 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 the Borrower), 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 be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. 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, 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 and Swingline 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 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 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.

8.6. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative 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 Borrower 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 this Agreement and the other 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 Borrower. 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 the Borrower 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 each Agent in its capacity as the Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent or a Documentation Agent, as the case may be (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated, the Letters of Credit shall have terminated or expired and the Loans and Swingline Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans and Swingline Loans or the termination or expiration of the Letters of Credit) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, 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 such 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 that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such 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 Borrower as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. With respect to the Loans and the Swingline 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”, “Lenders” and “Swingline Lender” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

8.9. Successor Administrative Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent at any time upon 15 days notice by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, subject to approval by the Borrower, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, 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. In the event that no such successor Administrative Agent is so appointed by the Required Lenders within 30 days of the Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent (subject to the approval of the Borrower). After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation

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. The Syndication Agent and Documentation Agents. Neither the Syndication Agent nor the Documentation Agents (nor any of them individually) in their respective capacities as such shall have any rights, duties or responsibilities hereunder, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against the Syndication Agent or either Documentation Agent in its capacity as such.

SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS

9.1. Amendments and Waivers. The Required Lenders may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, enter into with the Borrower written amendments, supplements, modifications or waivers hereto and to the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) (A) reduce the amount or extend the scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or Swingline Loan or reimbursement obligation in respect of any LC Disbursement, (B) alter the pro rata payment sharing requirements of the first sentence of Section 2.11(a), (C) reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof or (D) increase the amount or extend the termination date of any Lender’s Commitment, in each case without the consent of each Lender affected thereby, or (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section or reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, in each case without the written consent of all the Lenders or (iii) (A) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 8 without the written consent of the then Administrative Agent, (B) amend, modify or waive any provision directly affecting the rights or duties of the Issuing Lender without the written consent of the Issuing Lender or (C) amend, modify or waive any provision affecting the rights or duties of the Swingline Lender without the written consent of the Swingline Lender.

All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered, addressed as follows in the case of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and as set forth in Schedule 1.1 in the case of the other parties hereto, or to such other address as may be hereafter notified by the respective parties hereto:

(b) All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans hereunder.

9.5. Payment of Expenses and Taxes.

enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of one joint counsel to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse the fees and disbursements of separate counsel to any Lender or the Administrative Agent to the extent of any conflict of interest among the Lenders or between the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, (c) to pay, indemnify, or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for, and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless 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 (other than any net income or franchise 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 each Lender, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents (each, an “indemnified person”) harmless 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 with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the use of proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”), provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any indemnified person with respect to indemnified liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified person, from the breach by such indemnified person of its Contractual Obligations to the Borrower or from negotiated settlements of pending or threatened legal actions entered into by such indemnified person without the Borrower’s consent (unless such consent has been unreasonably withheld).

9.6. Transfer Provisions. (a) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender.

(b) Participations. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial lending 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 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 and interests 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. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans and Swingline Loans outstanding from time to time as if such Participant were a Lender; provided that, in the

case of Section 2.14, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section, and provided, further that such Participant shall have complied with the provisions of Section 2.16, 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) Assignments. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial lending business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time and from time to time, assign to any Lender or any Affiliate or Approved Fund thereof or, with the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender (which consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and which consent shall not be required from the Borrower during the continuation of an Event of Default), to an additional bank or financial institution (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, substantially in the form of Exhibit E (an “Assignment and Acceptance”), executed by such Assignee, such assigning Lender, and (to the extent required by this paragraph) the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender or an Affiliate thereof, by the Borrower) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register, provided that, in the case of any such assignment to an additional bank or financial institution, (i) the sum (without duplication) of the aggregate principal amount of the Commitments and Exposure being assigned shall not be less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) and (ii) the sum (without duplication) of the aggregate principal amount of the Commitments and Exposure retained by the assigning Lender, if any, shall not be less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent). 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 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), but shall retain its rights pursuant to Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.5 in respect of the period prior to such effective date.

(d) The Register. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain at the address of the Administrative Agent referred to in Section 9.2 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 amounts of the Loans, Swingline Loans and LC Exposure 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, Swingline 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, Swingline Loan or other obligation hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to

the contrary. Any assignment of any Loan, Swingline 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.

(e) Recordation. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender or an Affiliate thereof, by the Borrower) together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500, 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.

(f) Disclosure. Subject to Section 9.14, 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 Affiliates which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.

(g) Pledges. For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section concerning assignments of Loans, Swingline 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.

9.7. Adjustments; Set-Off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or Lenders, if any Lender (a “benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or LC Exposure or participations in Swingline Loans, 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(d) or (e), 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, or LC Exposure or participations in Swingline Loans, such benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans, LC Exposure and participations in Swingline Loans, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefited 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 benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall exercise any right of set-off against the Borrower in connection with this Agreement without the consent of the Required Lenders.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the 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 the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

9.8. 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 the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

9.9. 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.

9.10. Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement of the Borrower, 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.

9.11. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

9.12. WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.

9.13. Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the Borrower at its address set forth in Section 9.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to xxx in any other jurisdiction; and

(e) 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, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

9.14. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders expressly agree, for the benefit of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information (as defined below), except that Confidential Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an express agreement for the benefit of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.14, to any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (g) with the prior express written consent of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, or (h) to the extent such Confidential Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or its Subsidiaries. For the purposes of this Section 9.14, “Confidential Information” means all information, including material nonpublic information within the meaning of Regulation FD promulgated by the SEC (“Regulation FD”), received from the Borrower or its Subsidiaries relating to such entities or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to any

Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such entities; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or its Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information as provided in this Section 9.14 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information; provided, however, that with respect to disclosures pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) of this Section, unless prohibited by law or applicable court order, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall attempt to notify the Borrower and its Subsidiaries of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof or other Person for disclosure of Confidential Information after receipt of such request, and if reasonable, practicable and permissible, before disclosure of such Confidential Information. It is understood and agreed that the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates may rely upon this Section 9.14 for any purpose, including without limitation to comply with Regulation FD.

9.15. USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by their proper and duly authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
