Section 2. Amendments to Credit Agreement. 

(a) The definition of “Defaulting Lender” in Section 1.01 of the Credit

“Defaulting Lender” means, subject to Section 2.16(b), any Lender that (a) has
failed to (i) fund all or any portion of its Loans within two Business Days of
the date such Loans were required to be funded hereunder unless such Lender
notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing that such failure
is the result of such Lender’s determination that one or more conditions
precedent to funding (each of which conditions precedent, together with any
applicable default, shall be specifically identified in such writing) has not
been satisfied, or (ii) pay to the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, the
Swing Line Lender or any other Lender any other amount required to be paid by it
hereunder (including in respect of its participation in Letters of Credit or
Swing Line Loans) within two Business Days of the date when due, (b) has
notified the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers or the Swing
Line Lender in writing that it does not intend to comply with its funding
obligations hereunder, or has made a public statement to that effect (unless
such writing or public statement relates to such Lender’s obligation to fund a
Loan hereunder and states that such position is based on such Lender’s
determination that a condition precedent to funding (which condition precedent,
together with any applicable default, shall be specifically identified in such
writing or public statement) cannot be satisfied), (c) has failed, within three
Business Days after written request by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower,
to confirm in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that it will

provided that a Lender shall not be a Defaulting Lender solely by virtue of the
ownership or acquisition of any Equity Interest in that Lender or any direct or
indirect parent company thereof by a Governmental Authority so long as such
ownership interest does not result in or provide such Lender with immunity from
the jurisdiction of courts within the United States or from the enforcement of
judgments or writs of attachment on its assets or permit such Lender (or such
Governmental Authority) to reject, repudiate, disavow or disaffirm any contracts
or agreements made with such Lender.  Any determination by the Administrative
Agent that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender under any one or more of clauses (a)
through (d) above, and of the effective date of such status, shall be conclusive
and binding absent manifest error, and such Lender shall be deemed to be a
Defaulting Lender (subject to Section 2.16(b)) as of the date established
therefor by the Administrative Agent in a written notice of such determination,
which shall be delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, each L/C
Issuer, the Swing Line Lender and each Lender promptly following such
determination.

any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swing
Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance

reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any
