the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to (a) the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period
multiplied by (b) the Statutory Reserve Rate.

“Alternate Base Rate” means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest
of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective
Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1%, or (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one
month Interest Period on such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the
immediately preceding Business Day) plus 1%, provided that, for the avoidance of
doubt, the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any day shall be based on the rate appearing
on the Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or on any successor or substitute page of
such service, or any successor to or substitute for such service, providing rate
quotations comparable to those currently provided on such page of such service,
as determined by the Administrative Agent from time to time for purposes of
providing quotations of interest rates applicable to dollar deposits in the
London interbank market) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such day.
Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the

applicable to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries from time to time
concerning bribery, money laundering or corruption, including, without
limitation, the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended,
and the rules and regulations thereunder.
“Applicable Margin” means, for any day, with respect to any ABR Loan or any
Eurodollar Loan, or with respect to the commitment fees payable hereunder, as
the case may be, the Applicable Margin per annum set forth below under the
caption “ABR Spread”, “Eurodollar Spread” or “Commitment Fee Rate”, as the case
may be, based upon the ratings by Moody’s and S&P, respectively, applicable on
such date to the Index Debt:
Index Debt Ratings
Commitment Fee Rate
Eurodollar Spread
ABR Spread
Category 1
≥A3/A-
0.100%
1.000%
0.00%
Category 2
Baa1/BBB+
0.125%
1.125%
0.125%

Baa2/BBB
0.150%
1.250%
0.250%

1.500%
0.500%
Category 5
<Ba1/BB+
0.250%
1.750%
0.750%

For purposes of the foregoing, if both Moody’s and S&P shall not have in effect
a rating for the Index Debt (other than by reason of the circumstances referred
to in the last sentence of this definition), then such agencies shall be deemed
to have established a rating in Category 5. If the ratings established or deemed
to have been established by Moody’s and S&P for the Index Debt shall fall within
different Categories, the Applicable Margin shall be based on the higher of the
two ratings, unless one of the two ratings is two or more Categories lower than
the other, in which case the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference
to the Category next above that of the lower of the two ratings; provided,
however, that if only one of Moody’s and S&P shall have established a rating,
then the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to such available
rating. If the ratings established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s
and S&P for the Index Debt shall be changed (other than as a result of a change
in the rating system of Moody’s and S&P), such change shall be effective as of
the date on which it is first announced by the applicable rating agency,
irrespective of when notice of such change shall have been furnished by the
Borrower to the Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Section 5.01 or otherwise.
Each change in the Applicable Margin shall apply during the period commencing on
the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding
the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system of Moody’s or
S&P shall change, or if either such rating agency shall cease to be in the
business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the Lenders
shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed
rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and,
pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Margin shall be
determined by reference to the rating of such agency most recently in effect
prior to such change or cessation.
“Applicable Percentage” means, with respect to any Lender, the percentage of the
Commitments represented by such Lender’s Commitment. If the Commitments have
terminated or expired, the Applicable Percentages shall be determined based upon

ARTICLE II
THE CREDITS

Section 2.01    Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, each Lender agrees to make Revolving Loans in dollars to the Borrower
from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal
amount that will not result in (i)such Lender’s Credit Exposure exceeding such
Lender’s Commitment or (ii)the sum of the total Credit Exposures exceeding the
total Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow
Revolving Loans.

Section 2.02    Commitment Increase.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower shall have
the right, without the consent of the Lenders but with the prior approval of the
Administrative Agent, to cause from time to time an increase in the Commitments
of the Lenders (a “Commitment Increase”) by adding to this Agreement one or more
additional financial institutions that is not already a Lender hereunder and
that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or by allowing one
or more existing Lenders to increase their respective Commitments (each a “CI
Lender”); provided, however that (i)no Event of Default shall have occurred
which is continuing, (ii)no such Commitment Increase shall cause the Commitments
under this Agreement to exceed $1,750,000,000, (iii)no Lender’s Commitment shall
be increased without such Lender’s prior written consent, (iv) if, on the
effective date of such increase, any Loans have been funded, then the Borrower
shall be obligated to pay any breakage fees or costs in connection with the
reallocation of such outstanding Loans, and (v) each CI Lender shall execute a
joinder agreement in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto (a “Joinder
Agreement”).

(b)Any Commitment Increase shall be requested by written notice from the
Borrower to the Administrative Agent (a “Notice of Commitment Increase”) in the
form of Exhibit B attached hereto and shall be approved by the Administrative
Agent, such consent to not be unreasonably withheld. Each such Notice of
Commitment Increase shall specify the proposed effective date of such Commitment
Increase, which date shall be no earlier than five (5) Business Days after
receipt by the Administrative Agent of such Notice of Commitment Increase, the
amount of the requested Commitment Increase

18

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

(provided that after giving effect to such requested Commitment Increase, the
aggregate amount of the Commitments does not exceed the amount set forth in
subsection (a)(ii) above), the identity of each CI Lender, and the amount of the
respective Commitments of the then existing Lenders and the CI Lenders from and
after the Commitment Increase Effective Date (as defined below). The
Administrative Agent shall review each Notice of Commitment Increase and shall
notify the Borrower whether or not the Administrative Agent consents to the
proposed Commitment Increase. If the Administrative Agent consents to such
Commitment Increase (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), the
Administrative Agent shall execute a counterpart of the Notice of Commitment
Increase and such Commitment Increase shall be effective on the proposed
effective date set forth in the Notice of Commitment Increase (if the
Administrative Agent consented to such Commitment Increase prior to such
proposed date) or on another date agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower (such date referred to as the “Commitment Increase Effective Date”).

(c)On each Commitment Increase Effective Date, to the extent that there are
Loans outstanding as of such date, each CI Lender shall, by wire transfer of
immediately available funds, deliver to the Administrative Agent such CI
Lender’s New Funds Amount, which amount, for each such CI Lender, shall
constitute Loans made by such CI Lender to the Borrower pursuant to this
Agreement on such Commitment Increase Effective Date, the Administrative Agent
shall, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, pay to each then
Reducing Percentage Lender its Reduction Amount, which amount, for each such
Reducing Percentage Lender, shall constitute a prepayment by the Borrower
pursuant to Section 2.11, ratably in accordance with the respective principal
amounts thereof, of the principal amounts of all then outstanding Loans of such
Reducing Percentage Lender, and the Borrower shall be responsible to pay to each
Lender any breakage fees or costs in connection with the reallocation of any
outstanding Loans.

(d)For purposes of this Section 2.02 and Exhibit B, the following defined terms
shall have the following meanings: “New Funds Amount” means the amount equal to
the product of a CI Lender’s increased Commitment or a CI Lender’s new
Commitment (as applicable) represented as a percentage of the aggregate
Commitments after giving effect to the Commitment Increase, times the aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Loans immediately prior to giving effect to
the Commitment Increase, if any, as of a Commitment Increase Effective Date
(without regard to any increase in the aggregate principal amount of Loans as a
result of borrowings made after giving effect to the Commitment Increase on such
Commitment Increase Effective Date); “Reducing Percentage Lender” means each
then existing Lender immediately prior to giving effect to the Commitment
Increase that does not increase its respective Commitment as a result of the
Commitment Increase and whose relative percentage of the Commitments shall be
reduced after giving effect to such Commitment Increase; and “Reduction Amount”
means the amount by which a Reducing Percentage Lender’s outstanding Loans
decrease as of a Commitment Increase Effective Date (without regard to the
effect of any borrowings made on such Commitment Increase Effective Date after
giving effect to the Commitment Increase).

(e)Each Commitment Increase shall become effective on its Commitment Increase
Effective Date and upon such effectiveness (i)the Administrative Agent shall
record in the register each then CI Lender’s information as provided in the
Notice of Commitment Increase and pursuant to an Administrative Questionnaire
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that shall be executed and delivered by
each CI Lender to the Administrative Agent on or before the Commitment Increase
Effective Date, (ii)Schedule 2.01 hereof shall be amended and restated to set
forth all Lenders (including any CI Lenders) that will be Lenders hereunder
after giving effect to such Commitment Increase (which shall be set forth in
Annex I to the applicable Notice of Commitment Increase) and the Administrative
Agent shall distribute to each Lender (including each CI Lender) a copy of such
amended and restated Schedule 2.01, and (iii)each CI Lender identified on the
Notice of Commitment Increase for such Commitment Increase shall be a “Lender”
for all purposes under this Agreement.

Section 2.03    Revolving Loans and Borrowings.

(a)    Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of
Revolving Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective
Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by
it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided
that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be
responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

(b)    Subject to Section 2.14, each Revolving Borrowing shall be comprised
entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request in
accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option (but subject to Section 2.19) may
make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate
of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option
shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement.

(c)    At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Revolving
Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral
multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000. At the time that each ABR
Revolving Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that
is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000; provided
that an ABR Revolving Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to
the entire unused balance of the total Commitments or that is required to
finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section
2.06(e). Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the
same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of
fifteen (15) Eurodollar Revolving Borrowings outstanding.

(d)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall
not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Revolving
Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after
the Maturity Date.

Section 2.04    Requests for Revolving Borrowings. To request a Revolving
Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by
telephone in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New

notice of an ABR Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as
contemplated by Section 2.06(e) may be given not later than 12:00 noon, New York
City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing
Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery,
telecopy or electronic mail to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing
Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the
Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the
following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(ii)the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii)whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar

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

(v)the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be
disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.07.

If no election as to the Type of Revolving Borrowing is specified, then the
requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is
specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, then the
Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s
duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with
this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details
thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the
requested Borrowing.
Section 2.05    Swingline Loans.

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline
Lenders agree to make Swingline Loans in dollars to the Borrower from time to
time during the Availability Period ratably in accordance with its respective
Swingline Commitment, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding
that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding
Swingline Loans exceeding for any Swingline Lender $50,000,000 or for all
Swingline Lenders $150,000,000, (ii) the total Credit Exposures exceeding the
total Commitments, or (iii) as to any Swingline Lender, such Swingline Lender’s
Credit Exposure exceeding its Commitment; provided that the Swingline Lenders
shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding
Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow
Swingline Loans. The failure of any Swingline Lender to make any Swingline Loan
required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Swingline Lender of its
obligations hereunder; provided that the Swingline Commitments of the Swingline
Lenders are several and no Swingline Lender shall be responsible for any other
Swingline Lender’s failure to make Loans as required. Each Swingline Loan shall
be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than
$5,000,000; provided, that a Swingline Loan may be in an aggregate amount that
is equal to the entire available balance of the total Swingline Commitments or
that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as
contemplated by Section 2.06(c).

(b)    To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative
Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or electronic mail),
not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline
Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date
(which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The
Administrative Agent will promptly advise each Swingline Lender of any such
notice received from the Borrower. Each Swingline Lender shall make its pro rata
share of each Swingline Loan available to the Administrative Agent who will in
turn make such amount received available to the Borrower by means of a credit to
the general deposit account of the Borrower with the Administrative Agent (or,
in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC
Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e), by remittance to the Issuing Bank)
by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

(c)    The Swingline Lenders may by written notice given to the Administrative
Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require
the Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion
of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate
amount of Swingline Loans in which Lenders will participate. Promptly upon
receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to
each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of
such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally
agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of each Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees
that its obligation to acquire

21

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

participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) is absolute
and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever,
including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or
termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without
any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall
comply with its obligation under this Section 2.05(c) by wire transfer of
immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with
respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis
mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative
Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lenders the amounts so received by it
from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any
participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this Section 2.05(c),
and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the
Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lenders. Any amounts received by a
Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in
respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by such Swingline Lender of the
proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the
Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent
shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall
have made their payments pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) and to such Swingline
Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so
remitted shall be repaid to such Swingline Lender or to the Administrative
Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be
refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a
Swingline Loan pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) shall not relieve the Borrower
of any default in the payment thereof.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.05,
no Swingline Lender shall be obligated to make any Swingline Loan at a time when
any other Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless such Swingline Lender has
entered into arrangements (which may include the delivery of cash collateral)
with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender which are satisfactory to such
Swingline Lender to eliminate such Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure (after
giving effect to Section 2.21(c)) with respect to any such Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.06    Letters of Credit.

(a)    General. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, and
Lenders hereby agree that all Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be
issued under this Agreement as of the Effective Date and shall constitute
Letters of Credit hereunder for all purposes (except that the Issuing Bank's
standard issuance fee shall not be payable on such deemed issuance). Except as
provided in Section 2.06(i), any of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Bank
of America, N.A. or JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. shall severally serve as Issuing
Banks for all Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of standby Letters of Credit, in
dollars and in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the
applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the
Availability Period. 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 applicable Issuing Bank relating to any
Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall
control.Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuing Banks shall
have no obligation hereunder to issue, and shall not issue, any Letter of Credit
(i) the proceeds of which would be made available to any Person (A) to fund any
activity or business of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any country or
territory that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of any Sanctions or
(B) in any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions by any party
to this Agreement, (ii) if any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental
Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain any
Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any applicable law relating
to the Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over any
Issuing Bank shall prohibit, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such
Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon any Issuing Bank with
respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement
(for

22

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

which any such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in
effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank any
unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective
Date and which such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it, or (iii) if
the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of an
Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally under similar
circumstances for similarly situated borrowers; provided that, notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements or
directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in the implementation
thereof, and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements or directives
promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on
Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States
or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in
each case be deemed not to be in effect on the Effective Date for purposes of
clause (ii) above, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or
implemented.

(b)    Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Condition. 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 applicable Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing
Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably 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 paragraph (c) below), 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 an Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall
submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in
connection with any request for a Letter of Credit; provided that no provision
in such application shall be deemed effective to the extent such provision
contains, provides for, or requires, representations, warranties, covenants,
security interests, Liens, indemnities, reimbursements of costs or expenses,
events of defaults, remedies, or standards of care or to the extent such
provision conflicts or is inconsistent with this Agreement. 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 total LC Exposures shall not exceed
$750,000,000, (ii) the LC Exposure of such Issuing Bank shall not exceed in the
aggregate $125,000,000 at any time, and (iii) the Credit Exposure of such
Issuing Bank shall not exceed its Commitment.

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 five
Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided that no Letter of Credit may
expire after the date that is five Business Days prior to an Existing Maturity
Date in respect of any Declining Lenders under Section 2.20 if, after giving
effect to such Letter of Credit, the aggregate Commitments of the Consenting
Lenders (including any replacement Lenders) for the period following such
Existing Maturity Date would be less than the LC Exposure following such
Existing Maturity Date.

(d)    Participation. By the issuance 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 Banks or the Lenders, the Issuing Banks hereby grant
to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Banks, a
participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable
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 Banks, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of

23

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

each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Banks and not reimbursed by the
Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) below, 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 any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of
Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or
termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without
any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e)    Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank 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 1:00 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 10:00 a.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 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day that the
Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m.,
New York City time, on the day of receipt, or the Business Day immediately
following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not
received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that, if such LC
Disbursement is not less than $5,000,000, the Borrower may, subject to the
conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section
2.04 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline
Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s
obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the
resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrower fails to
make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of
the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in
respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly
following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative
Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in
the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such
Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment
obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to
the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. 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 Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments
pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders
and the Issuing Bank as its interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender
pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement
(other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or Swingline Loan as contemplated
above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its
obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f)Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements
as provided in paragraph (e) above 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
any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this
Agreement, or any term or provision therein, 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, or any other event or circumstance whatsoever (other than failure to
comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), 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 Banks, nor any of their Related Parties, 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

24

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

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
Banks; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing
Banks 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 Banks’ failure to exercise care when
determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of
Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that,
in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the
Issuing Banks (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the
Issuing Banks shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.
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 Banks may, in their 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.

(g)Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Banks shall, promptly following receipt
thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment
under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Banks shall promptly notify the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of
such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Banks have 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 Banks and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h)Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank 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, at the
rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the
Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph
(e) above, then Section 2.13(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this
paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest
accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e)
of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such
Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i)Replacement of the Issuing Banks. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time
by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced
Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall
notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any
such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees
accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section
2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, the
successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing
Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued
thereafter and references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to
refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor
and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the
replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain
a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an
Issuing Bank 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.

(j)Cash Collateralization. If the Loans have become immediately due and payable
pursuant to Article VII, on the Business Day following the Business Day that the
Borrower receives

25

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

notice from the Administrative Agent (at the direction of Required Lenders) or
the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this
paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative
Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the
Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any
accrued and unpaid interest on LC Disbursements comprising such LC Exposure.
Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the
payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.
The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including
the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account (which shall be invested in
obligations of, obligations guaranteed by, or obligations backed by the full
faith and credit of, the United States of America, certificates of deposit of
Administrative Agent or commercial paper having the highest rating from S&P or
Moody’s, in each case maturing in less than 180 days). Other than any interest
earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at
the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s
risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if
any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such
account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse an Issuing
Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the
extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement
obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity
of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC
Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to
satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.

(k)Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Section 2.06, no Issuing Bank shall be obligated to issue any Letter of
Credit at a time when any other Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless such
Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements (which may include the delivery of
cash collateral) with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender which are
satisfactory to such Issuing Bank to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s Fronting
Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.21(c)) with respect to any such
Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.07    Funding of Borrowings.

(a)    Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the
proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00
pm, New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently
designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that
Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The Administrative
Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the
amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained
with the Administrative Agent in New York City and designated by the Borrower in
the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to
finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e)
shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.

(b)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender
prior to the proposed time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make
available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available
on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding
amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the
applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable
Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each
day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to
but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at in the case of
such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules
on interbank compensation or in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate
applicable to the applicable Borrowing.

26

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

If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount
shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

Section 2.08    Interest Elections.

(a)    Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the
applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving
Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing
Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a
different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar
Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in
this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different
portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be
allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing,
and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate
Borrowing.

(b)    To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify
the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a
Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.04 if the Borrower were
requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be
made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest
Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand
delivery, telecopy or electronic mail to the Administrative Agent of a written
Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and
signed by the Borrower.

(c)    Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the
following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i)the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if
different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof,
the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case
the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall
be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii)the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election
Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii)whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar
Borrowing; and

(iv)if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to
be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a
period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.
If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does
not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
(d)    Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the
Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such
Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e)    If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with
respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at
the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be
converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent,
at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long
as an Event of Default is continuing (i)no outstanding Revolving

27

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

Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and
(ii)unless repaid, each Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be converted to an
ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 2.09    Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a)Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity
Date.

(b)The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time, reduce the
Commitments; provided that each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an
amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000
and the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving
effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section
2.11, the sum of the total Credit Exposures would exceed the Commitments.

(c)The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to
terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least
three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction
(or, in connection with the termination of the Commitments, such later date as
may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent), specifying such election and the
effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the
Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each
notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable;
provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the
Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of
other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the
Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified
effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction
of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall
be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable
Percentage.

Section 2.10    Repayment of 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 Revolving Loan on the Maturity Date and (ii) with respect to
Swingline Loans made to it, to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the
earlier of the Maturity Date and the Swingline Due Date. “Swingline Due Date”
means for each Swingline Loan, the next Business Day from the date the Swingline
Loan has been disbursed. On each date that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the
Borrower shall repay the amount of any outstanding Swingline Loans that exceeds
$20,000,000.

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

(c)The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record
(i)the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the
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)the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent
hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d)The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c)
of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of
the obligations recorded

28

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

therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to
maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the
obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement.

(e)Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory
note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such
Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such
Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit C. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory
note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment
pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such
form payable to the payee named and its registered assigns.

Section 2.11    Prepayment of Loans.

(a)Subject to any breakage funding costs payable pursuant to Section 2.16, the
Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any
Borrowing in whole or in part without premium or penalty, provided that each
prepayment is in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not
less than $5,000,000, or if such amount is lesser, the outstanding amount of the
Borrowing, and made subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of
this Section.

(b)The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by
telecopy or electronic mail) of any prepayment hereunder in the case of
prepayment of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New
York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, in the case
of prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York
City time, on the date of prepayment, or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a
Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon New York City time, on the date of
prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the
prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to
be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with
a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by
Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of
termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly following
receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative
Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.Each partial prepayment
of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the
case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in
Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably
to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied
by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.

Section 2.12    Fees.

(a)The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
each Lender (other than to the Defaulting Lenders, if any) a commitment fee,
which shall accrue at the Applicable Margin for commitment fees on the daily
amount of the unused Commitment of such Lender without giving effect to such
Lender’s Swingline Exposures during the period from and including the date
hereof to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates. Accrued
Commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June,
September and December of each year and on the date on which the Commitments
terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All
Commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366
days in a leap year) and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b)Subject to Section 2.21(f), the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Lender (other than to the Defaulting Lenders, if
any) a participation fee with

29

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

respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the
same Applicable Margin used to determine the interest rate applicable to
Eurodollar Revolving Loans 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 Effective 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 to the Issuing
Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum 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 Effective 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 Bank’s standard fees with respect to the
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing
of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees shall be payable in
arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and
on the date on which the Commitments terminate. All participation fees and
fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days
in a leap year) and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c)The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account,
fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon in writing
between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(d)All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately
available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the
case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and
participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any
circumstances.

Section 2.13    Interest.

(a)The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate
Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, but not to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate.

(b)The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall bear interest
at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing
plus the Applicable Margin, but not to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate.

(c)When the Borrower requests a Swingline Loan, such Loan shall bear interest
from the date it is disbursed at a rate specified by the Borrower at the time of
the request of such Loan equal to either (i) the Alternate Base Rate plus the
Applicable Margin or (ii) at a rate to be established as provided on Schedule
2.13.

(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or
any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due,
whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount
shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal
to in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise
applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section
or in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as
provided in paragraph (a) of this Section, but not to exceed the Highest Lawful
Rate.

(e)Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination
of the Commitments; provided that interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of
this Section shall be payable on demand, in the event

of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR
Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on
the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall

30

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

be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and in the event of any
conversion of any Eurodollar Revolving Loan prior to the end of the current
Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the
effective date of such conversion.

(f)All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days,
except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times
when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the
basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall
be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate
or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent and such
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.14    Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a)Unless and until a Replacement Rate is implemented in accordance with Section
2.14(b) below, if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a
Eurodollar Borrowing (including any Swingline Loan):

(i)the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive
absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such
Interest Period; or

(ii)the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders (or in the case
of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lenders) that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the
LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and
fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Swingline Lender) of making or
maintaining their Loans (or its Swingline Loan) included in such Borrowing for
such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the
Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable
thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the
Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist,
(i)any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving
Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar
Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii)if any Borrowing Request requests a
Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing
and (iii)any request by the Borrower for a Swingline Loan shall be ineffective;
provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one
Type of Borrowing, then the other Type of Borrowing shall be permitted.
(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.14(a), if the
Administrative Agent has made the determination (such determination to be
conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances described in
Section 2.14(a)(i) have arisen and that such circumstances are unlikely to be
temporary, (ii) any applicable interest rate specified herein is no longer a
widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in the U.S.
syndicated loan market in the applicable currency or (iii) the applicable
supervisor or administrator (if any) of any applicable interest rate specified
herein or any Governmental Authority having or purporting to have jurisdiction
over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific
date after which any applicable interest rate specified herein shall no longer
be used for determining interest rates for loans in the U.S. syndicated loan
market in the applicable currency, then the Administrative Agent may, to the
extent practicable (in consultation with the Borrower and as determined by the
Administrative Agent to be generally in accordance with similar situations in
other transactions in which it is serving as administrative agent or otherwise
consistent with market practice generally), establish a replacement interest
rate which shall, in no event,

be less than zero (the “Replacement Rate”), in which case, the Replacement Rate
shall, subject to the next two sentences, replace such applicable interest rate
for all purposes under the Loan Documents

31

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

unless and until (A) an event described in Section 2.14(a)(i), (b)(i), (b)(ii)
or (b)(iii) occurs with respect to the Replacement Rate or (B) the
Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders through the Administrative Agent)
notifies the Borrower that the Replacement Rate does not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding the Loans bearing interest at the
Replacement Rate. In connection with the establishment and application of the
Replacement Rate, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be amended
solely with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, as may be
necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect
the provisions of this Section 2.14(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation,
Section 9.02), such amendment shall become effective without any further action
or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative
Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the delivery of
such amendment to the Lenders, one or more written notices from such Lenders
that in the aggregate constitute the Required Lenders, with each such notice
stating that such Lenders object to such amendment. To the extent the
Replacement Rate is approved by the Administrative Agent in connection with this
Section 2.14(b), the Replacement Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent
with market practice; provided that, in each case, to the extent such market
practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such
Replacement Rate shall be applied as otherwise reasonably determined by the
Administrative Agent (it being understood that any such modification by the
Administrative Agent shall not require the consent of, or consultation with, any
of the Lenders).

Section 2.15    Increased Costs.

(a)If any Change in Law shall:

(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory
loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with
or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such
reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Banks;
or

(ii)impose on any Lender or the Issuing Banks or the London interbank market any
other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender
or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; (excluding, in each case,
Taxes, as to which Section 2.17 shall govern) and the result of any of the
foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining
any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or
to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Banks of participating in,
issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum
received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Banks hereunder (whether of
principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or
the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, for such
additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)If any Lender or an Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding
liquidity or capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital
of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence
of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit
held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a
level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the
Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law
(taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the
policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to
capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to
such Lender or the Issuing

Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding
company for any such reduction suffered.

32

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

(c)A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth in reasonable
detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing
Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a)
or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower. The Borrower shall
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or the Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within
10 days after receipt thereof.

(d)Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand
compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such
Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that
the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank
pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more
than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the
case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s
intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change
in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then
the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.16    Break Funding Payments.     In the event of the payment of any
principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest
Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), the
conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto, the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay
any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant
hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(b)
and is revoked in accordance therewith), or the assignment of any Eurodollar
Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a
result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such
event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense
attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or
expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such
Lender to be the excess, if any, of the amount of interest which would have
accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the
Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period
from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period
therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the
period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over the amount
of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the
interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of
such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other
banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any
amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this
Section in reasonable detail shall be delivered to the Borrower. The Borrower
shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender the amount
shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereto.

Section 2.17    Taxes.

(a)Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under
this Agreement shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or
withholding for any Indemnified Taxes, except as required under applicable law;
provided that if any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion
of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any
Indemnified Taxes from any such payment, then (i) the applicable Withholding
Agent shall be entitled to deduct such Indemnified Taxes from such payments,
(ii) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all
required deductions or withholdings (including such deductions or withholdings
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the Administrative
Agent, Lender, or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such

deduction or withholding been made, and (iii) the applicable Withholding Agent
shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with applicable law.

33

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

(b)In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or, at the option of
the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other
Taxes.

(c)The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient within 15 days after demand
therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified
Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this
Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or
deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.
A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the
Borrower by a Lender or Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent),
or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the
Issuing Banks, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by
such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return
reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent.

(e)(i) any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of
withholding Taxes with respect to payments under any Loan Document shall deliver
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed
and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding
or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other
documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to
backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion,
execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation
set forth in Section 2.17(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be
required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or
submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or
expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such
Lender.

(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a
Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the
reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies
of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup
withholding Taxes;
(B)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies
as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such
Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

34

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

(1)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax
treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of
interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form
W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S.
federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty
and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document,
IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable) establishing an exemption
from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business
profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2)    executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption
for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender
is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10
percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B)
of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section
881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed
copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable); or
(4)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed
copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS
Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents
from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender
is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign
Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may
provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit
F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; and
(C)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies
as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such
Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a
basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding
Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be
prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
(D)    If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to
U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to
comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those
contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender
shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times
prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law
(including as prescribed by Section

35

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

1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under
FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s
obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from
such payment. Solely for purposes of this Clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any
amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender and the Administrative Agent agrees that if any form or
certification it previously delivered under this Section 2.17 expires or becomes
obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or
certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in
writing of its legal inability to do so.
(f)If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that
it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified
pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount
equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under
this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without
interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority
with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such
indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over
pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges
imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such
indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no
event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an
indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would
place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the
indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and
giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed
and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax
had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any
indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information
relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or
any other Person.

(g)Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the
resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of
rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments
and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan
Document.

Section 2.18    Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a)The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder
(whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or
of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to
12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available
funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on
any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have
been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating
interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at
its offices specified in Section 9.01, except payments to be made directly to
the Issuing Banks or Swingline Lenders as expressly provided herein and except
that payments pursuant to Section 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons
entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments
received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient
promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a
day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the
next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest,
interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments
hereunder shall be made in dollars.

36

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

(b)If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the
Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC
Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied
(i)first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among
the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees
then due to such parties, and (ii)second, towards payment of principal and
unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC
Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c)If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or
otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of
its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans
resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the
aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements
and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by
any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall
purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and
participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the
extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the
Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and
accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans and participations in LC
Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i)if any such participations
are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is
recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price
restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii)the
provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made
by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this
Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations
in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower
or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this
paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to
the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender
acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise
against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower
in the amount of such participation.

(d)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower
prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder that the Borrower will
not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has
made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon
such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may
be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such
payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be,
severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the
amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Banks with interest thereon, for
each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but
excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the
Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent
in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e)If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it
pursuant to Section 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b) or 2.18(d), then the Administrative
Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof),
apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections
until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

37

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

(f)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there exists a Defaulting Lender, each
payment by the Borrower to such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be applied in
accordance with Section 2.21(b).

Section 2.19    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is
required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17,
then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending
office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and
obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in
the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment would eliminate or
reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in
the future and would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense
and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby
agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in
connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any
Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and
effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such
Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject
to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such
obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such
assignment); provided that the Borrower shall have received the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Commitment is being assigned, the
Issuing Bank) which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, such Lender
shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of
its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued
interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder,
from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued
interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and in the
case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such
assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender
shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior
thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances
entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 2.20    Extension of Maturity Date. The Borrower may, by delivery of a
Maturity Date Extension Request to the Administrative Agent (which shall
promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders) not less than 45 days and not
more than 75 days prior to any anniversary of the Effective Date, request that
the Lenders extend the Maturity Date for an additional period of one year;
provided that, only two such extensions will be granted during the tenure of the
credit facility. Each Lender shall, by notice to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent given not later than the 20th day after the date of the
Agent’s receipt of the Borrower’s Maturity Date Extension Request, advise the
Borrower whether or not it agrees to the requested extension (each Lender
agreeing to a requested extension being called a “Consenting Lender” and each
Lender declining to agree to a requested extension being called a “Declining
Lender”). Any Lender that has not so advised the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent by such day shall be deemed to have declined to agree to such extension
and shall be a Declining Lender. If Lenders constituting the Required Lenders
shall have agreed to a Maturity Date Extension Request, then the Maturity Date
shall, as to the Consenting Lenders, be extended to the first anniversary of the
Maturity Date theretofore in effect. The decision to agree or withhold agreement
to any Maturity Date Extension Request shall be at the sole discretion of each
Lender. The Commitment of any Declining Lender shall terminate on the Maturity
Date in effect prior to giving effect to any such extension (such Maturity Date
being called the “Existing Maturity

38

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

Date”). The principal amount of any outstanding Loans made by Declining Lenders,
together with any accrued interest thereon and any accrued fees and other
amounts payable to or for the account of such Declining Lenders hereunder, shall
be due and payable on the Existing Maturity Date, and on the Existing Maturity
Date, the Borrower shall also make such other prepayments of its Loans pursuant
to Section 2.11 as shall be required in order that, after giving effect to the
termination of the Commitments of, and all payments to, Declining Lenders
pursuant to this sentence, the sum of the total Credit Exposures shall not
exceed the total Commitments.Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
paragraph, the Borrower shall have the right, pursuant to Section 9.04, at any
time prior to the Existing Maturity Date, to replace a Declining Lender with a
Lender or other financial institution that will agree to a Maturity Date
Extension Request, and any such replacement Lender shall for all purposes
constitute a Consenting Lender.Notwithstanding the foregoing, no extension of
the Maturity Date pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective unless (i)
the Administrative Agent shall have received documents consistent with those
delivered with respect to the Borrower under Section 4.01(b) through Section
4.01(d), giving effect to such extension and (ii) on the anniversary of the
Effective Date that immediately follows the date on which the Borrower delivers
the applicable Maturity Date Extension Request, (A) the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 shall be satisfied, (B) there has been no change since December 31,
2017 that has resulted in a Material Adverse Effect that is continuing and (C)
the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated
such date and executed by the President, a Vice President or a Financial Officer
of the Borrower.

Section 2.21    Defaulting Lenders.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any
Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no
longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:
(a)    Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall
be restricted as set forth in Section 9.02.
(b)    Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or
other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such
Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise,
and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.18), shall be applied at
such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:
first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the
Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of
any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to an Issuing Bank and/or a
Swingline Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent
or requested by an Issuing Bank and/or a Swingline Lender, to be held as cash
collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any
participation in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrower
may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding
of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its
portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the
Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released
in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under
this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or Swingline Lenders as a result of any
then final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
obtained by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, an Issuing Bank or a Swingline
Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s
breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default
or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower
as a result of any then final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result
of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and
eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of
competent

39

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

jurisdiction; provided that if (i) such payment is a payment of the principal
amount of any Revolving Loans or funded participations in Swingline Loans or
Letters of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully
funded its appropriate share and (ii) such Revolving Loans or funded
participations in Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit were made at a time when
the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment
shall be applied solely to pay the Revolving Loans of, and funded participations
in Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a
pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Revolving Loans of,
or funded participations in Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit owed to, such
Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to
a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a
Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.21 shall
be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender
irrevocably consents hereto.
(c)    Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure.
During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of
computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire,
refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans
pursuant to Section 2.05 and Section 2.06, the Applicable Percentage of each
non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment
of such Defaulting Lender; provided that (i) each such reallocation shall be
given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists, (ii) the aggregate obligation of
each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in
Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall not exceed the positive difference,
if any, of (A) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (B) the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans of that Lender and
(iii) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 shall have been satisfied.
(d)    Cash Collateral for Letters of Credit. Promptly on demand by an Issuing
Bank or the Administrative Agent from time to time, the Borrower shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all
Fronting Exposure with respect to such Issuing Bank (after giving effect to
Section 2.21(c)) on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
and such Issuing Bank (and such cash collateral shall be in Dollars). Any such
cash collateral shall be deposited in a separate account with the Administrative
Agent, subject to the exclusive dominion and control of the Administrative
Agent, as collateral (solely for the benefit of such Issuing Bank) for the
payment and performance of each Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage of
outstanding Letter of Credit obligations. Moneys in such account shall be
applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse such Issuing Bank immediately
for each Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any drawing under any
Letter of Credit which has not otherwise been reimbursed by the Borrower or such
Defaulting Lender.
(e)    Prepayment of Swingline Loans. Promptly on demand by a Swingline Lender
or the Administrative Agent from time to time, the Borrower shall prepay
Swingline Loans in an amount of all Fronting Exposure with respect to such
Swingline Lender (after giving effect to Section 2.21(c)).
(f)    Certain Fees. For any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting
Lender, such Defaulting Lender (i) shall not be entitled to receive any
Commitment Fee pursuant to Section 2.12 (and the Borrower shall not be required
to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to
such Defaulting Lender) and (ii) shall not be entitled to receive any letter of
credit fees pursuant to Section 2.12 otherwise payable to the account of a
Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such
Defaulting Lender has not provided cash collateral or other credit support
arrangements satisfactory to the respective Issuing Bank pursuant to Section
2.21(d), but instead, the Borrower shall pay to the non-Defaulting Lenders the
amount of such letter of credit fees in accordance with the upward adjustments
in their respective Applicable Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit
pursuant to Section 2.21(c), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to
the respective Issuing Bank for its own account.

40

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

(g)    Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the
Swingline Lenders and the Issuing Banks agree in writing in their sole
discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a
Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto,
whereupon as of the date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions
set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash
collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that
portion of outstanding Revolving Loans of the other Lenders or take such other
actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the
Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and
Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with
their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.21(c)),
whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no
adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments
made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender;
and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by
the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will
constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from
such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that:
Section 3.01    Organization; Powers. Each of the Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and
authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the

ARTICLE VIII
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 8.01    Administrative Agent. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks
hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes
the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such
powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof,
together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same
rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank
and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage
in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate
thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those
expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied
duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or
exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers
expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to
exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as
provided in Section 9.02), and except as expressly set forth herein, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be
liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving
as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The
Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number
or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as
provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have
knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the
Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent
shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into any
statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this
Agreement, the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered
hereunder or in connection herewith, the performance or observance of any of the
covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, the
validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any
other agreement, instrument or document, or the satisfaction of any condition
set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of
items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any
liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent
also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed
by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for
relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who
may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts
selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its
rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative

52

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

Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its
rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory
provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to
the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and
shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of
the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as
Administrative Agent.
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as
provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by
notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower. Upon any such
resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the
Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed
by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days
after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then
the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing
Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of its
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor
shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and
duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees
payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as
those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower
and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the
provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the
benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their
respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.
Each Lender acknowledges 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 credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges 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 from time
to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not
taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any
document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
Section 8.02    The Lead Arrangers, Joint Bookrunners, Co-Syndication Agents and
Co-Documentation Agents. The Lead Arrangers, Joint Bookrunners, Co-Syndication
Agents and Co-Documentation Agents shall have no duties, responsibilities or
liabilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents other than their
duties, responsibilities and liabilities in their capacity as Lenders (or
Issuing Bank, if applicable) hereunder.

54

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

Section 9.02    Waivers; Amendments.

(a)No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or any
Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or
any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Banks and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any
rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of
this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in
any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of
this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of
Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether
the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Banks may have had notice or
knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b)Subject to Section 2.14(b) with respect to the implementation of a
Replacement Rate, neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived,
amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing
entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no
such agreement shall increase or extend the Commitment of any Lender without the
written consent of such Lender, reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC
Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable
hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, postpone
the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC
Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce
the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date
of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender
affected thereby, change Section 2.09 or Section 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner that
would alter the pro rata treatment of Lenders or pro rata sharing of payments
required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, or change any of
the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any
other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required
to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or
grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender;
provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect
the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the
Swingline Lenders hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lenders, as the case
may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender
shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent
hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or
extended or amounts owed to such Lenders reduced, or the final maturity thereof
extended without the consent of such Lender, and any amendment to further
restrict the voting rights of Defaulting Lenders shall require the consent of
all Lenders.

Section 9.03    Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a)The Borrower shall pay (i)all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arrangers and their Affiliates, including
the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative
Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for
herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments,
modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii)all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Banks in connection
with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or
any demand for payment thereunder and (iii)all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or any Lender, including
the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or any Lender, in connection with the
enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement,
including

55

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

its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters
of Credit issued hereunder, including all such reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such
Loans or Letters of Credit. Attorneys’ fees reimbursed by the Borrower in
connection with the matters under clause (iii) above shall be for a single law
firm per country (unless conflicts (including conflicts between the
Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers and the other Lenders as determined in
the reasonable discretion of the Required Lenders) otherwise prohibit the
engagement of a single law firm) plus a single local counsel in each
jurisdiction where local counsel is reasonably required.

(b)The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks,
each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such
Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless
from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses,
including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any
Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in
connection with, or as a result of (i)the execution or delivery of this
Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by
the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation
of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii)any Loan
or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal
by the Issuing Banks to honor or demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if
the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii)any actual or alleged presence or
release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in
any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv)any actual or
prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of
the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and
regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that SUCH
INDEMNITY SHALL EXTEND TO EACH INDEMNITEE NOTWITHSTANDING THE SOLE OR CONCURRENT
NEGLIGENCE OF EVERY KIND OR CHARACTER WHATSOEVER, WHETHER ACTIVE OR PASSIVE,
WHETHER AN AFFIRMATIVE ACT OR AN OMISSION, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ALL
TYPES OF NEGLIGENT CONDUCT IDENTIFIED IN THE RESTATEMENT (SECOND) OF TORTS OF
ONE OR MORE OF THE INDEMNITEES OR BY REASON OF STRICT LIABILITY IMPOSED WITHOUT
FAULT ON ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE INDEMNITEES; PROVIDED THAT SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL
NOT, AS TO ANY INDEMNITEE, BE AVAILABLE TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LOSSES, CLAIMS,
DAMAGES, LIABILITIES OR RELATED EXPENSES ARE DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT
JURISDICTION BY FINAL AND NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THE GROSS
NEGLIGENCE, WILFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNITEE OR BREACH OF CONTRACTUAL
UNDERAKING OF SUCH INDEMNITEE UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

(c)To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid
by it to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lenders
under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay
to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lenders, as the
case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that
the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such
unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss,
claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by
or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline
Lenders in its capacity as such.

(d)To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and
hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or
actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this
Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions,
any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee
referred to in paragraph (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from
the use by unintended recipients of any information

56

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

or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or
other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other
than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e)All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 30 days
after written demand therefor.

Section 9.04    Successors and Assigns.

(a)The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby (including any Affiliates of the Issuing Banks that issue any
Letters of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise
transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower
without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or
otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with
this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be
construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliates of
the Issuing Banks that issue any Letters of Credit), Participants (to the extent
provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim
under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)

(i)Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender
may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment
and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A)the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for
an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee and provided
further that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such
assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the
Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days after having received notice
thereof; and

(B)the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank, provided that no consent of
the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank shall be required for an assignment
of any Revolving Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender (or an affiliate of
a Lender) with a Revolving Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such
assignment.

(ii)Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A)except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender
or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s
Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the
assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the
Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $20,000,000 unless each of the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such
consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing;

(B)each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate
part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,
provided that

57

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

this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate
part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one
Class of Commitments or Loans;

(C)the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing
and recordation fee of $3,500; and

(D)the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and comply with the
requirements of Section 2.17(e).

(E)the assignee shall not be a natural person.
For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the
following meaning:
“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged
in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions
of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered,
managed or underwritten by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an
entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.
(iii)Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv)
of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment
and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the
extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the
rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning
Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to
be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections
2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04
shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a
participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of
this Section.

(iv)The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and
Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the
Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof
from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be
conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent,
the Issuing Banks, and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for
all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The
Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Banks
and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable
prior notice.

(v)Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an
assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative
Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the
processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and
any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this
Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption
and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment
shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in
the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c)(i)     Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lenders, sell
participations to one or more banks or other

58

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

entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment
and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under
this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations
and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other
Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any
agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation
shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that
such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any
amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section
9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this
Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of
this Section. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for
this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on
which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal
amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or
other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”);
provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion
of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any
information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans,
letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any
Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that
such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered
form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The
entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error,
and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this
Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of
doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall
have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(ii)A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 2.15 or Section 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled
to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless
the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s
prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a
Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Borrower
is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant
agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.17(e) as
though it were a Lender.

(d)Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any
portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender,
including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a
Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or
assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of
a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder
or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e)No assignment or participation shall be made to the Borrower or any of the
Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

Section 9.05    Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other
instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be
considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans
and issuance of any Letters of

Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its
behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or
any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any

59

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

Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is
extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the
principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount
payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit
is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.
The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall
survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration
or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination
of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 9.06    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.

(a)    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed
in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts),
each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together
shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter
agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute
the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and
supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written,
relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this
Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the
Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received
counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of
the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by
telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of
the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart of this Agreement.This Agreement, the other Loan Documents
and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the
Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating
to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous
agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter
hereof and thereof. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the
final agreement among the parties hereto and thereto and may not be contradicted
by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the
parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.
(b)    Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,”
“signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in any Assignment and
Assumption shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the
keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal
effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical
delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case
may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the
Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or any state
laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing
herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept electronic signatures in
any form or format without its prior written consent.
Section 9.07    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in
a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

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

Section 9.10    Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents
used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this
Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into
consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Section 9.11    Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Banks and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information
(as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its
Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants and
legal counsel (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is
made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and
instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested
by any regulatory authority or any self-regulatory body claiming to have
authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by
any subpoena or similar legal process or authority, (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 agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or
Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any actual or prospective
counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to
the Borrower and its obligations, (iii) to its advisors (other than its
accountants and legal counsel), (iv) to an investor or prospective investor in
an Approved Fund that also agrees that Information shall be used solely for the
purpose of evaluating an investment in such Approved Fund, (v) to a trustee,
collateral manager, servicer, backup servicer, noteholder or secured party in an
Approved Fund in connection with the administration, servicing and reporting on
the assets serving as collateral for an Approved Fund, or (vi) to the CUSIP
Bureau, market data collectors, and nationally recognized rating agencies that
require access to information regarding the Borrower, the Loans and Loan
Documents in connection with ratings issued with respect to an Approved Fund,
(g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information
becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section.
For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received
from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such
information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or
any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower.

Section 9.12    Interest Rate Limitation. It is the intention of the parties
hereto that each Lender shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it.
Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious as to any
Lender under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of
America and the State of Texas or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be
mandatorily applicable to such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of
this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in the Agreement, it is agreed as follows: the aggregate of all consideration
which constitutes interest under law applicable to any Lender that is contracted
for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Lender under the Agreement or
the Subsidiary Guaranties shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount
allowed by such applicable law, and any excess shall be canceled automatically
and if theretofore paid shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount
of the Indebtedness (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the
Indebtedness shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such
Lender to the Borrower); and in the event of any required or permitted
prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law
applicable to any Lender may never include more than the maximum amount allowed
by such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this
Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically by such Lender as of the
date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be
credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Indebtedness (or, to the
extent that the principal amount of the Indebtedness shall have been or would
thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower). All sums paid
or agreed to be paid to any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of sums
due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law applicable to such Lender,
be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the stated term of the
Loans until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on

62

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

account of any Loans hereunder does not exceed the maximum amount allowed by
such applicable law. If at any time and from time to time the amount of interest
payable to any Lender on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate
applicable to such Lender pursuant to this Section 9.12 and in respect of any
subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable
to such Lender would be less than the amount of interest payable to such Lender
computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender, then the amount
of interest payable to such Lender in respect of such subsequent interest
computation period shall continue to be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate
applicable to such Lender until the total amount of interest payable to such
Lender shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to
such Lender if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving
effect to this Section 9.12. To the extent that Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance
Code is relevant for the purpose of determining the Highest Lawful Rate
applicable to a Lender, such Lender elects to determine the applicable rate
ceiling under such Chapter by the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect.
Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code does not apply to the Borrower’s
obligations hereunder.

Section 9.13    USA Patriot Act Notice. 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.

Section 9.14    Replacement of Existing Credit Agreement. This Agreement
replaces and supercedes the Existing Credit Agreement, and the Borrower hereby
confirms and agrees that the commitments under the Existing Credit Agreement are
terminated.

Section 9.15    No Fiduciary Duty. Each Lender and its Affiliates (collectively,
solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic
interests that conflict with those of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees that
nothing in the Loan Documents will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or
agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on
the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other. The Borrower acknowledges and
agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including
the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length
commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower,
on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading
thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in
favor of the Borrower with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or
the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading
thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising
or will advise the Borrower on other matters) and (y) each Lender is acting
solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower. The
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and
financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is
responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby and the process leading thereto.

Section 9.16    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial
Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or
in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties,
each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial
Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is
unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA
Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to
be bound by:

(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution
Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it
by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b)the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if
applicable:

63

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

(i)a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other
instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent
undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise
conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be
accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the
exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution
Authority.

SCHEDULE 2.13
SWINGLINE LOAN RATE CALCULATION
The rate of interest for a Swingline Loan shall be (a) the "ASK" rate for
Federal Funds appearing on Page 5 of the Dow Jones Market Service (or on any
successor or substitute page of such Service, or any successor to or substitute
for such Service, providing rate quotations comparable to those currently
provided on such page of such Service, as determined by the Administrative Agent
from time to time for purposes of providing quotations of the offer rates
applicable to Federal Funds for a term of one Business Day) at the time reviewed
by the Administrative Agent plus (b) the Applicable Margin for the Eurodollar
Spread. In the event that part (a) of such rate is not available at such time
for any reason, then part (a) of such rate will be the rate agreed to between
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. The Borrower understands and agrees
that the rate quoted from Page 5 of the Dow Jones Market Service is a real-time
rate that changes from time to time. The rate quoted by the Administrative Agent
and used for the purpose of setting the interest rate for a Swingline Loan will
be the rate on the screen of the Administrative Agent at the time of setting the
rate and will not be an average or composite of rates for that day.

receipt of a copy of which is hereby acknowledged by the Assignee. The Standard

and incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Assignment and
Assumption as if set forth herein in full.
For an agreed consideration, the Assignor hereby irrevocably sells and assigns
to the Assignee, and the Assignee hereby irrevocably purchases and assumes from

Conditions and the Credit Agreement, as of the Effective Date inserted by the
