W I T N E S S E T H:
          WHEREAS, certain lenders (the “Revolving Lenders”) have made revolving
credit commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $1,700,000,000 to the
U.S. Borrower pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement (the “U.S. Revolving
Credit Facility”) under which there is (i) a $750,000,000 multi-currency
revolving credit subfacility (the “Multi-Currency Subfacility”) and (ii) a
$200,000,000 Canadian revolving credit subfacility (the “Canadian Subfacility”;
together with the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility and the Multi-Currency
Subfacility, the “Revolving Credit Facilities”); and
          WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested, and the Required Refinancing
Lenders (as defined below) and the General Administrative Agent have agreed,
upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, that (a) certain
Revolving Lenders (each, an “Extending Lender”) will extend the final scheduled
termination date of each of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments to
January 31, 2012 and (b) the Existing Credit Agreement will be amended as set
forth herein;
          NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
          SECTION 1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined
herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
As used in this Amendment (a) “Required Refinancing Lenders” means (i) the
Majority Lenders (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) and (ii) each
Extending Lender and (b) “Credit Agreement” means the Existing Credit Agreement
as amended by this Amendment.
          SECTION 2. Extended Revolving Credit Commitments. (a) Subject to the
terms and conditions set forth herein, each Extending Lender agrees to extend
the final scheduled termination date of each of its Revolving Credit Commitments
to January 31, 2012.
          (b) On the First Amendment Conversion Date (as defined below) (i) the
U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments of each Extending Lender (or its lending
affiliate) shall be reduced (the “Revolving Credit Commitment Reduction”) by [
]%1 (the “Relevant Percentage”) of such Extending Lender’s U.S. Revolving Credit
Commitments immediately prior to the First Amendment Conversion Date, it being
understood that the U.S. Borrower may separately agree with any Extending Lender
to waive or reduce the Relevant Percentage for such Extending Lender only,
(ii) the aggregate amount of the Multicurrency Commitments shall be reduced to
$400,000,000, with the Multicurrency Commitment of
 

1   33.33%; provided that if, based on a Revolving Credit Commitment Reduction
of 33.33% the aggregate principal amount of U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments of
Extending Lenders would be in excess of $1,000,000,000, the percentage shall be
increased so that after giving effect to the Revolving Credit Commitment
Reduction the aggregate principal amount of U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments of
Extending Lenders is $1,000,000,000.

each Multicurrency Lender being reduced ratably, it being understood that the
U.S. Borrower may separately agree with any Multicurrency Lender to waive or
reduce such reduction for such Multicurrency Lender only, and (iii) the
aggregate amount of the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitments shall be reduced
to $100,000,000, with the Canadian Revolving Credit Commitment of each Canadian
Lender being reduced ratably, it being understood that the Canadian Borrower may
separately agree with any Canadian Lender to waive or reduce such reduction for
such Canadian Lender only. The Multi-Currency Subfacility and the Canadian
Subfacility shall as of the First Amendment Conversion Date each be allocated to
the Tranche A U.S. Revolving Credit Facility. In order to give effect to the
allocation of the Multi-Currency Subfacility and the Canadian Subfacility to the
Tranche A U.S. Revolving Credit Facility, references in applicable provisions of
the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, subsection 2.5(a), (b) and
(d) of the Credit Agreement) to U.S. Revolving Lenders, Non-Canadian Lenders and
Non-Multicurrency Lenders shall be deemed to be references to such Lenders only
to the extent they are Tranche A U.S. Revolving Lenders and references to U.S.
Revolving Credit Loans shall be deemed to be references to Tranche A U.S.
Revolving Credit Loans, in each case if appropriate (as determined by the
General Administrative Agent in its sole discretion in a manner consistent with
this Amendment).
          (c) As of the First Amendment Conversion Date, (i) the portion of the
U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility held
by the Extending Lenders will constitute the Tranche A portion of the U.S.
Revolving Credit Facility (the “Tranche A U.S. Revolving Credit Facility”, and
each U.S. Revolving Credit Loan thereunder a “Tranche A U.S. Revolving Credit
Loan”); provided that the Tranche A U.S. Revolving Credit Facility may include
the Tranche A U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments of an Assuming Lender pursuant
to Section 2.6 of the Credit Agreement (and the term “Extending Lender” will
include any Assuming Lender where applicable) and (ii) the portion of the U.S.
Revolving Credit Commitments under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility held by
the Revolving Lenders which are not Extending Lenders (each, a “Declining
Lender”) shall constitute the Tranche B portion of the U.S. Revolving Credit
Facility (the “Tranche B U.S. Revolving Credit Facility”, and each U.S.
Revolving Credit Loan thereunder a “Tranche B U.S. Revolving Credit Loan”). The
Tranche A U.S. Revolving Credit Facility and the Tranche B. U.S. Revolving
Credit Facility together shall constitute the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility,
the Tranche A U.S. Revolving Credit Loans and the Tranche B U.S. Revolving
Credit Loans together shall constitute the U.S. Revolving Credit Loans and each
Lender’s commitment under the Tranche A U.S. Revolving Credit Facility and the
Tranche B U.S. Revolving Credit Facility shall constitute such Lender’s U.S.
Revolving Credit Commitment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in the Credit Agreement, on the First Amendment Conversion Date outstanding U.S.
Revolving Credit Loans and U.S. Revolving Credit Loans made by Assuming Lenders,
if any, shall be deemed to be reallocated (i) as Tranche A U.S. Revolving Credit
Loans in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of U.S. Revolving Credit Loans
of Tranche A U.S. Revolving Lenders immediately prior to the First Amendment
Conversion Date; provided that any Assuming Lenders shall make available to the
General Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the
General Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other
relevant Tranche A U.S. Revolving Lenders as being required in order to cause,
after giving effect to the application of such amounts to make payments to such
other relevant Tranche A U.S. Revolving Lenders, the Tranche A U.S. Revolving
Credit Loans to be held ratably by all Tranche A U.S. Revolving Lenders in
accordance with their respective Tranche A U.S. Revolving Credit Commitments and
(ii) as Tranche B U.S. Revolving Credit Loans in an amount equal to the
aggregate amount of U.S. Revolving Credit Loans of Tranche B U.S. Revolving
Lenders immediately prior to the First Amendment Conversion Date. All such Loans
deemed to be reallocated on the First Amendment Conversion Date (“U.S.
Reallocated Loans”) will have initial Interest Periods commencing on the First
Amendment Conversion Date and ending on the same dates as the Interest Periods
applicable to the U.S. Reallocated Loans immediately prior to the First
Amendment Conversion Date and will bear interest during such Interest Periods
based on Eurodollar Rates that were applicable to the U.S. Reallocated Loans
immediately prior to the First Amendment Conversion Date, which will be deemed
to be the Eurodollar

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rates applicable to the U.S. Reallocated Loans hereunder on the First Amendment
Conversion Date (but the Applicable Margins with respect to the U.S. Reallocated
Loans will be as provided for in this Amendment). On the First Amendment
Conversion Date, the General Administrative Agent shall effect such entries in
the Register (and the U.S. Revolving Lenders will make such payments among
themselves and to the U.S. Borrower and the General Administrative Agent as
directed by the General Administrative Agent) so that, after giving effect
thereto, each Tranche A U.S. Revolving Lender holds a principal amount of the
U.S. Reallocated Loans (i.e., Tranche A U.S. Revolving Credit Loans) equal to
the principal amount of Loans under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility held by
such Tranche A U.S. Revolving Lender and each Tranche B U.S. Revolving Credit
Lender holds a principal amount of the U.S. Reallocated Loans (i.e., Tranche B
U.S. Revolving Credit Loans) equal to the principal amount of Loans under the
U.S. Revolving Credit Facility held by such Tranche B U.S. Revolving Lender. The
U.S. Borrower also agrees to pay to the General Administrative Agent on the
First Amendment Conversion Date in immediately available funds all accrued
interest, fees and any other amounts owing in respect of the Refinanced Loans as
of such date (excluding any amounts payable pursuant to Section 9.11 of the
Existing Credit Agreement except as a result of prepayments funded from the
proceeds of U.S. Revolving Credit Loans made by Assuming Lenders).
     In order to give effect to the allocation of the U.S. Revolving Credit
Facility to the Tranche A U.S. Revolving Credit Facility and the Tranche B U.S.
Revolving Credit Facility, defined terms and other provisions in the Credit
Agreement relating to calculating availability, funding and outstandings under
the Revolving Credit Commitments (including, without limitation, the definitions
of “Aggregate Percentage”, “Aggregate U.S. Revolving Credit Outstandings” and
“U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment”) shall be deemed to be amended as appropriate
(as determined by the General Administrative Agent in its sole discretion in a
manner consistent with this Amendment) to give effect to the intent of this
Amendment.
          (d) As of the First Amendment Conversion Date, the Letter of Credit
subfacility under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility (reduced as provided in
Section 3(j) below) shall be allocated to the Tranche A U.S. Revolving Credit
Facility and the Tranche B U.S. Revolving Credit Facility as set forth in
subsection 8.1(c) of the Credit Agreement. The Tranche A Letters of Credit and
the Tranche B Letters of Credit together shall constitute the Letters of Credit.
Any Letters of Credit outstanding on the First Amendment Conversion Date (“2008
Existing Letters of Credit”) shall on the First Amendment Conversion Date be
deemed to be Tranche A Letters of Credit. The risk participations in 2008
Existing Letters of Credit shall be automatically adjusted such that (i) each
Tranche A U.S. Revolving Lender shall have a risk participation in each such
2008 Existing Letter of Credit equal to its U.S. Revolving Credit Commitment
Percentage and (ii) no Tranche B U.S. Revolving Lender shall have any risk
participation in 2008 Existing Letters of Credit. The U.S. Borrower agrees to
pay to the General Administrative Agent on the First Amendment Conversion Date
in immediately available funds all accrued Letter of Credit fees and any other
amounts owing in respect of the Existing Letters of Credit as of such date.
          (e) As of the First Amendment Conversion Date, the Swing Line
subfacility under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility (reduced as provided in
Section 3(a)(viii) below) shall be allocated to the Tranche A U.S. Revolving
Credit Facility. Any Swing Line Loans outstanding on the First Amendment
Conversion Date (“Existing Swing Line Loans”) shall on the First Amendment
Conversion Date be deemed to be outstanding under the Tranche A U.S. Revolving
Credit Facility. The U.S. Borrower agrees to pay to the General Administrative
Agent on the First Amendment Conversion Date in immediately available funds all
accrued interest, fees and any other amounts owing in respect of Existing Swing
Line Loans as of such date. In order to give effect to the allocation of the
Swing Line subfacility to the Tranche A U.S. Revolving Credit Facility,
references in applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement to U.S. Revolving
Lenders shall be deemed to be references to Tranche A U.S. Revolving Lenders and
references to U.S. Revolving Credit Loans shall be deemed to be references to
Tranche A

U.S. Revolving Loans, in each case if appropriate (as determined by the General
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion in a manner consistent with this
Amendment).
          (f) (i) As of the First Amendment Conversion Date, each applicable
Borrower shall repay the Multicurrency Loans (other than Swing Line
Multicurrency Loans) of each Declining Lender (or its Counterpart Lender).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Credit Agreement, on
the First Amendment Conversion Date outstanding Multicurrency Loans, if any,
shall be deemed to be reallocated (in the applicable currencies) to the extent
required so that the Multicurrency Loans are held ratably by the Multicurrency
Lenders based on their respective Multicurrency Commitment Percentage on the
First Amendment Conversion Date. All such Loans (“Multicurrency Reallocated
Loans”) will have initial Interest Periods commencing on the First Amendment
Conversion Date and ending on the same dates as the Interest Periods applicable
to the Multicurrency Reallocated Loans immediately prior to the First Amendment
Conversion Date and will bear interest during such Interest Periods based on
Eurocurrency Rates that were applicable to the Multicurrency Reallocated Loans
immediately prior to the First Amendment Conversion Date, which will be deemed
to be the Eurocurrency Rates applicable to the Multicurrency Reallocated Loans
hereunder on the First Amendment Conversion Date (but the Applicable Margins
with respect to the Multicurrency Reallocated Loans will be as provided for in
this Amendment). On the First Amendment Conversion Date, the General
Administrative Agent shall effect such entries in the Register (and the
Multicurrency Lenders will make such payments among themselves and to the
applicable Borrowers and the General Administrative Agent as directed by the
General Administrative Agent) so that, after giving effect thereto, each
Multicurrency Lender holds a principal amount of the Multicurrency Reallocated
Loans equal to its ratable share of the Multicurrency Commitments on the First
Amendment Conversion Date. Each applicable Borrower also agrees to pay to the
General Administrative Agent on the First Amendment Conversion Date in
immediately available funds all accrued interest, fees and any other amounts
owing in respect of the Multicurrency Loans as of such date (including any
amounts payable pursuant to Section 9.11 of the Existing Credit Agreement).
               (ii) As of the First Amendment Conversion Date, each applicable
Borrower shall repay Loans under the Canadian Subfacility (“Canadian Loans”) of
each Declining Lender (or its Counterpart Lender). Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in the Credit Agreement, on the First Amendment
Conversion Date outstanding Canadian Loans, if any, shall be deemed to be
reallocated to the extent required so that the Canadian Loans are held ratably
by the Canadian Lenders based on their respective Canadian Revolving Credit
Commitment Percentage on the First Amendment Conversion Date. All such Loans
(“Canadian Reallocated Loans”) will bear interest based on the applicable
Canadian Base Rate (but the Applicable Margins with respect to the Canadian
Reallocated Loans will be as provided for in this Amendment). On the First
Amendment Conversion Date, the General Administrative Agent shall effect such
entries in the Register (and the Canadian Lenders will make such payments among
themselves and to the Canadian Borrower and the General Administrative Agent as
directed by the General Administrative Agent) so that, after giving effect
thereto, each Canadian Lender holds a principal amount of the Canadian
Reallocated Loans equal to its ratable share of the Canadian Revolving Credit
Commitments on the First Amendment Conversion Date. The Canadian Borrower also
agrees to pay to the General Administrative Agent on the First Amendment
Conversion Date in immediately available funds all accrued interest, fees and
any other amounts owing in respect of the Canadian Loans as of such date
(including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 9.11 of the Existing Credit
Agreement).
          (g) On March 23, 2010, the Borrowers shall repay all Tranche B U.S.
Revolving Credit Loans and all other amounts owed under the Tranche B U.S.
Revolving Credit Facility (including facility fees and Letter of Credit fees).

the Existing Credit Agreement on the First Amendment Effective Date and the
First Amendment Conversion Date, the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

aggregate amount of all Revolving Credit Commitments (as reduced as provided in
this Amendment) and the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans
(except to the extent repaid pursuant to this Amendment) shall continue to be
outstanding under the Credit Agreement and the terms of the Credit Agreement
will govern the rights of the Borrowers and the Lenders with respect thereto.
