ARTICLE II.  THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS

2.01    Loans.

(a)Revolving Loans.Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make
Revolving Loans to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, in an aggregate amount for all Revolving
Loans not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender's Commitment;provided,however,
that after giving effect to any Borrowing, (i) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Loans and L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding
Amount of the Loans of any Lender,plussuch Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations shall not exceed such Lender's
Commitment. Within the limits of each Lender's Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(a), prepay underSection 2.06, and reborrow under this Section 2.01(a). Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

If
the Borrower fails to timely provide the election notice referred to in this clause (iii), the Borrower shall be deemed to have revoked and cancelled the extension request in the Annual
Certificate of Extension and to have elected not to extend the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

(c)Term Loans.On the Revolving Commitment Termination Date (unless such date shall occur as a result of
clause (c) of the definition thereof) and upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Loan Notice from the Borrower, which Loan Notice shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty
by the Borrower that the conditions specified inSection 4.02(a)and(b)have been
satisfied on and as of the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, each Lender will make one Term Loan to the Borrower up to but not exceeding the amount of the Revolving Commitments in effect
immediately prior to the termination of the Revolving Commitments on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, as such amount may be reduced from time to time in accordance with this Agreement (the
"Term Out"). No amounts paid or prepaid with respect to the Term Loan may be reborrowed. Eurodollar Rate Loans for which the Interest Period shall not
have terminated as of the Revolving Commitment Termination Date shall be continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans for the applicable Interest Period and Base Rate Loans shall be continued as Base Rate Loans
after the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, in each case subject to further elections pursuant toSection 2.02. Any principal repayments
received on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date for Revolving Loans not converted into Term Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and, after Base Rate Loans have been paid in full, to
Eurodollar Rate Loans, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise instructed the Administrative Agent
in writing. Upon a Lender making such Term Loan, its Term Commitment shall terminate and it shall have no further Revolving Commitment to make Revolving Loans or Term Commitment to make Term Loans.

(d)Limitation on Extension of Maturity Date.If the Amended and Restated Multi-Year Credit
Agreement is in effect at the time the Borrower exercises its option to extend pursuant to

22

---

Section 2.01(b), the Scheduled Maturity Date as so extended pursuant toSection 2.01(b)shall not be later than
the Maturity Date as defined in the Amended and Restated Multi-Year Credit Agreement. If the Amended and Restated Multi-Year Credit Agreement is in effect at the time the
Borrower exercises its Term-Out option pursuant toSection 2.01(c), the Scheduled Maturity Date of the Term Loans shall not be later
than the Maturity Date as defined in the Amended and Restated Multi-Year Credit Agreement.

2.02    Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

(a)  Each
Borrowing (other than an L/C Borrowing), each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Loans as the same Type shall be made upon the
relevant Borrower's irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York time, (i) three
Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, and
(ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $10,000,000 or a
whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each
Loan Notice shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Loans as the same Type, (ii) the
requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued,
(iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower
fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made or continued as, or
converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar
Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have
specified an Interest Period of one month.

(b)  Following
receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice of
a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in the preceding
subsection. In the case of a Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent's Office not
later than 1:00 p.m., New York
time, on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth inSection 4.02(and,
if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension,Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the
Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or
(ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower;provided, however,
 that if, on the date of the Borrowing there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied,first, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, andsecond, to the Borrower as provided above.

(c)  Except
as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan.
During the existence of a Default or Event of Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders, and the Required
Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans be converted to Base Rate Loans at the end

23

---

of the respective Interest Periods therefor, if at the end of such periods, a Default or an Event of Default is then in existence.

(d)  The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Eurodollar Rate Loan upon determination of such
interest rate. The determination of the Eurodollar Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall notify the relevant Borrower
and the Lenders of any change in Bank of America's prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

(e)  After
giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than
5 Interest Periods in effect with respect to Loans.

(d)Repayment of L/C Advances.



(e)Obligations Absolute.The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each
Letter of Credit that it has requested to be issued, and to repay each such L/C Borrowing and each drawing under a Letter of Credit that is paid by a corresponding Borrowing of Loans or L/C Advances,
shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:



27

---



The
Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit that is has requested to be issued and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim
of noncompliance with the Borrower's instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower shall immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim
against the L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is immediately given as aforesaid.

(f)Role of L/C Issuer.Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit,
the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire
as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. No Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents,
participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the
Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct or violation of Law; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness,
validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any
beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit;provided,however, that this
assumption is not intended to, and shall not,
preclude such Borrower's pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. No Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective
correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.04(e);provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to
consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer's willful misconduct, gross negligence or violation of Law or the L/C Issuer's
willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of
Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear

28

---

on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity
or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which
may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g)Cash Collateral.Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any
full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing and until such borrowing has been reimbursed or otherwise paid (including pursuant to a
Borrowing), or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, the Borrower shall, upon the
Administrative Agent's request, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all such L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to such Outstanding Amount). The Borrower hereby grants the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, a Lien on its interest in such Cash Collateral to secure the outstanding and unpaid amount of a L/C Borrowing or Letter of
Credit remaining outstanding as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, in each case as referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of this Section; providedthat when such amount shall no longer be
outstanding and unpaid, such Cash Collateral shall be released from such Lien and returned to the
Borrower. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America or other institutions satisfactory to it.

(h)Applicability of ISP98 and UCP.Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower with
the consent of the Required Lenders when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the "International Standby
Practices 1998" published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each standby Letter
of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce (the
"ICC") at the time of issuance (including, to the extent it is applicable, the ICC decision published by the Commission on Banking Technique and
Practice on April 6, 1998 regarding the European single currency (euro)) shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

(i)Letter of Credit Fees.The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in
accordance with its Pro Rata Share a Letter of Credit fee for each Letter of Credit issued at its request equal to the Applicable Rate for Letters of Credit multiplied by the actual daily maximum
amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Such fee for each Letter of Credit shall be due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December,
commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, and on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter,
the actual daily amount of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

(j)Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer.The Borrower shall pay directly
to the L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued at its request, as provided in the Agent/Arranger Fee Letter, due and payable quarterly in arrears on
the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, and on the Letter of Credit Expiration
Date. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and
charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit issued at its request as from time to time in effect. Such fees and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

(k)Conflict with Letter of Credit Application.In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the
terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.

2.05    Intentionally Omitted.

2.06    Prepayments.

(a)  The
Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; providedthat (i) such notice must

Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (B) one Business Day prior to any date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar

$500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will
promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment
and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon,
together with any additional amounts required pursuant toSection 3.05. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of the Lenders in
accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

(b)  If
for any reason the Outstanding Amount of all Loans and L/C Obligations at any time exceeds the Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall immediately prepay its
Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

2.07    Reduction or Termination of Commitments.The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent,
terminate the Commitments, or permanently reduce the Commitments to an amount not less than the then
Outstanding Amount of all Loans and L/C Obligations;providedthat (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later
than 11:00 a.m., five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, and (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of reduction or termination of the Commitments. Once reduced in accordance with
this Section, the Commitments may not be increased. Any reduction of the Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Pro Rata Share. All facility fees and
utilization fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

2.08    Repayment of Loans.

The
Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding on such date which were made to it.

2.09    Interest.

shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rateplusthe
Applicable Rate.

(b)  In
the event any amount due hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, any interest payment) is not paid when due (whether by
acceleration or otherwise), the Borrower shall pay interest on such unpaid amount (including, without limitation, interest on interest) at a fluctuating interest rate per annum equal to the Default
Rate to the fullest extent

30

---

permitted by applicable Law. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c)  Interest
on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest

2.10    Fees.

In
addition to certain fees described in subsections (i) and (j) ofSection 2.04:

(a)Facility Fee.The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in
accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a facility fee equal to the Applicable Rate multiplied by (i) until the Revolving Termination Date, the actual daily amount of the Commitments, regardless of
usage, and (ii) on and after the Revolving Termination Date, the actual daily aggregate Outstanding Amount of Loans. The facility fee shall accrue at all times from the Closing Date until the
Maturity Date and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing
Date, and on the Maturity Date. The facility fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be
computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. The facility fee shall accrue at all times, including at any time
during which one or more of the conditions inArticle IVis not met.

(b)Utilization Fee.The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in
accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a utilization fee equal to the Applicable Rate multiplied by the actual daily aggregate Outstanding Amount of Loans and L/C Obligations for each day that such
aggregate Outstanding Amount together with the aggregate Outstanding Amount (as such term is defined in the Amended and Restated Multi-Year Credit Agreement) under the Amended and Restated
Multi-Year Credit Agreement exceeds 331/3% of the Aggregate Commitments. The utilization fee shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each
March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date. The utilization fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears. The
utilization fee shall accrue at all times, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions inArticle IVis not met.

(c)Other Fees.The Borrower shall pay a fee to the Arranger for the Arranger's own account, and shall pay an
agency fee to the Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent's own account, in the amounts and at the times specified in the letter agreement, dated December 16, 2002 (the
"Agent/Arranger Fee Letter"), between the Borrower, the Arranger and the Administrative Agent.

2.11    Computation of Interest and Fees.
    Computation of interest on Base Rate Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed. Computation of
all other types of interest and all fees shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed, which results in a higher yield to the payee thereof than
a method based on a year of 365 or 366 days. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not
accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid,providedthat any Loan that is repaid on the same day
on which it is made shall bear interest for one day.

2.12    Evidence of Debt.

(a)  The
Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary
course of business.

31

---

The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and
the interest and payments thereon. Any failure so to record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with
respect to the Loans and L/C Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of
such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall be presumed to be prima facie evidence of such matters absent manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the
Administrative Agent, such Lender's Loans may be evidenced by a Note, in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note(s) and endorse thereon the date, Type (if
applicable), amount and maturity of the applicable Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b)  In
addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice
accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the
Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control.

2.13    Payments Generally.

(a)  All
payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative
Agent's Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon, New York time, on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender
its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender's Lending Office. All payments received by the
Administrative Agent after 12:00 noon, New York time, shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

(b)  Subject
to the definition of "Interest Period," if any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the
next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(c)  If
at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, L/C Borrowings, interest and fees then
due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i)first, toward costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs and amounts payable under Article III)
incurred by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, (ii)second, toward
repayment 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
(iii)third, toward repayment of principal and L/C Borrowings then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with
the amounts of principal and L/C Borrowings then due to such parties.

(d)  Unless
the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder,
the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and
may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person

32

---

entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then:



A
notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (d) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(e)  If
any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and the conditions to the applicable
Credit Extension set forth inArticle IVare not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(f)    The
obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to fund participations in Letters of Credit are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any
Loan or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for
the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation.

(g)  Nothing
herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender
that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

2.14    Sharing of Payments.If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on
account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations held
by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder)
thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them and/or such
subparticipations in the participations in L/C Obligations held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loan
or such participations, as the case may be, pro

33

---

rata with each of them;provided,however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is
thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together
with an amount equal to such paying Lender's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender's required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered
from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a
participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such
participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section and will in each case
notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all
notices, requests, demands, directions and other
communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

ARTICLE III.  TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01    Taxes.

(a)  Any
and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without
deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the
case of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it
(in lieu of net income taxes), by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is organized or maintains
a lending office (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as
"Taxes"). If the Borrower shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section), the Administrative Agent and such Lender each receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such
deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within 30 days
after the date of such payment, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (which shall forward the same to such Lender) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment
thereof.

(b)  In
addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges or similar
levies (but specifically excluding all other United States federal taxes, other than withholding taxes, unless such exclusion is not required as a condition for an exemption from reporting
requirements under Sections 6011, 6111, or 6112 of the Code) which arise from any payment made by it under any Loan Document or from its execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration
of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document to which it is a party (hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes").

(c)  If
the Borrower shall be required to deduct or pay any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to which it is a party to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Borrower shall also pay to the Administrative Agent (for the account of such

34

---

Lender) or to such Lender, at the time interest is paid, such additional amount that such Lender specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield (after factoring in all taxes,
including taxes imposed on or measured by net income) such Lender would have received if such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been imposed.

(d)  In
respect to related Obligations owed by it, the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and each Lender for (i) the full amount of
Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and such
Lender, (ii) amounts payable underSection 3.01(c)and (iii) any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Payment under this
subsection (d) shall be made within 30 days after the date the Lender or the Administrative Agent makes a demand therefor which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate setting forth
in reasonable detail the amounts demanded, the basis therefor and the calculations in respect thereto.

3.02    Illegality.If any Lender determines that any Law enacted, construed or announced after the Closing
Date has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted
that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or materially restricts the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to
take deposits of, Dollars in the applicable offshore Dollar market, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower
through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender
notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such
Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof,
if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such
prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. If any such Law, or change therein, shall only affect a portion of such Lender's obligations under
this Agreement which is, in the opinion of such Lender and the Administrative Agent, severable from the remainder of this Agreement so that the remainder of this Agreement may be continued in full
force and effect without otherwise affecting any of the obligations of the Administrative Agent, the other Lenders or the Borrower, such Lender shall only declare its obligations under that portion so
terminated. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be
disadvantageous to such Lender.

3.03    Inability to Determine Rates.
    If the Administrative Agent determines in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being
offered to banks in the applicable offshore Dollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding
such Eurodollar Rate Loan, the
Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and all Lenders. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative
Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may, without liability for any attendant breakage costs, revoke any pending request for a Borrowing, conversion or continuation of
Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to

35

---

have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

3.04    Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy;Reserves on Eurodollar  Rate Loans.

(a)  If
any Lender determines that as a result of the introduction of, or any change in, or in the interpretation of, any Law, in each case on or after the Closing Date, or
such Lender's compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans or (as the case may be) issuing
or participating in Letters of Credit, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this subsection
(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to whichSection 3.01shall
govern), (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or any foreign jurisdiction or any political subdivision of either thereof
under the Laws of which such Lender is organized or has its Lending Office, and (iii) reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.04(c)), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender
(with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall
pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

(b)  If
any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, or compliance by such Lender
(or its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender's obligations
hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender's desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a copy of such
demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.

(c)  The
Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required under regulations of the Board to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets
consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as "Eurocurrency liabilities"), additional costs on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the
actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date
on which interest is payable on such Loan,providedthe Borrower shall have received at least 15 days' prior notice (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 15 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due
and payable 15 days from receipt of such notice.

(d)  Each
Lender agrees that it will not claim, and that it shall not be entitled to claim, from the Borrower the payment of any of the amounts referred to in this Section 3.04(i) if it is not
generally claiming similar compensation from its other similar customers in similar circumstances and
(ii) unless the relevant introduction or change affects all banks and other financial institutions substantially similar to such Lender having regard to the size, business activities and
regulatory capital of such banks and other financial institutions, but excluding differences based solely on the residency of Persons controlling such banks or other financial institutions. In
addition, each Lender shall use its reasonable efforts to reduce the amount it requests pursuant toSection 3.04, including using its reasonable
efforts to not assign or transfer any Loan to any Person if such assignment or transfer would or would be likely to increase the amount of such amounts payable;provided,
however, such Lender shall have no obligation to take or omit to take any action that such Lender in its good faith judgment believes would be disadvantageous to it. Each
amount required to be paid to any Lender pursuant to thisSection 3.04shall be accompanied by a certificate of the requisite Lender setting
forth in reasonable detail the amount owed, the basis therefor and the calculations in respect thereto.

36

---

(e)  Failure
or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand such
compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 90 days prior to the date
that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if
the introduction of Law or change in (or change in interpretation of) Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall
be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

3.05    Funding Losses.
    Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time (which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate of such demanding Lender setting forth in
reasonable detail the amount demanded, the bases therefor and the calculations in respect thereto), the Borrower to whom the subject Loan was made shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold
such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a)  any
continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan made to such Borrower other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period
for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b)  any
failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan made to the Borrower
other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or

(c)  any
assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.16;

including
any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the
deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For
purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under thisSection 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded
each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the applicable offshore Dollar interbank market for a comparable amount and for a
comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

3.06    Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation.

(a)  A
certificate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under thisArticle IIIand setting
forth in reasonable detail the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and such other information as otherwise specified in this Article IIIshall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error. In determining such amount, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may use any
reasonable averaging and attribution methods customarily used by it in comparable circumstances.

(b)  Upon
any Lender's making a claim for compensation underSection 3.01or 3.04, the Borrower may remove or replace such Lender in accordance withSection 10.16.

3.07    Survival.    All of the Borrower's obligations under this Article IIIshall survive termination of the Commitments
and payment in full of all the other Obligations.

Qualifying Subordinated Indebtedness, or any combination thereof, in a sufficient amount (in thisSection 7.14, the "cure amount"), that had the
Borrower timely applied such additional equity or Qualifying Subordinated Indebtedness proceeds, or any combination thereof, to repay Consolidated Funded Debt at relevant times at or prior to the end
of such applicable four-quarter period, the Borrower would have reduced, on a pro forma basis, Consolidated Interest Charges for such period by an amount that would have resulted in the
Borrower being in compliance with thisSection 7.14for such four-quarter period and (ii) in fact reducing Consolidated Funded
Debt by an amount equal to such cure amount, and if the Borrower obtains such equity or Qualifying Subordinated Indebtedness proceeds, or any combination thereof, and so applies it during such cure

combination of such clauses, within 30 days following the later of the date a Responsible Officer has knowledge of such non-compliance and 30 days following the end of such
quarter (but in no event shall the cure period extend beyond the date that is 60 days after the end of such quarter) (i) by receiving an infusion of cash or cash equivalents in an amount
that (when added to all other cash and cash equivalents then being held by Non-OLP Subsidiaries pursuant to thisSection 7.15) equals
such excess Indebtedness (or portion thereof cured pursuant to this clause (i)), which cash or cash equivalents shall be held by Non-OLP Subsidiaries until the calculation is done

51

---

pursuant to thisSection 7.15at the end of the next quarter, or (ii) by reducing the aggregate outstanding amount of Indebtedness of the
Non-OLP Subsidiaries by an amount equal to such excess Indebtedness less the amount of cash or cash equivalents infused for such quarter-end pursuant to the preceding
clause (i), if any. If the Non-OLP Subsidiaries so timely cure such excess Indebtedness by making such infusion or reduction, or both as applicable, the Non-OLP
Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be in compliance with thisSection 7.15as of such quarter-end date.

Indebtedness") at quarter-end, the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership Subsidiaries may cure
such excess Indebtedness by satisfying the following clause (i) or clause (ii), or any combination of such clauses, within 30 days following the later of the date a Responsible
Officer has knowledge of such non-compliance and 30 days following the end of such quarter (but in no event shall the cure period extend beyond the date that is 60 days after
the end of such quarter): (i) by receiving an infusion of cash or cash equivalents in an amount that (when added to all other cash and cash equivalents then being held by the Operating
Partnership and the Operating Partnership Subsidiaries pursuant to thisSection 7.16) equals such excess Indebtedness (or portion thereof cured
pursuant to this clause (i)), which cash or cash equivalents shall be held by the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership Subsidiaries until the calculation is done pursuant to this Section 7.16at the end of the next quarter, or (ii) by reducing the aggregate outstanding amount of Indebtedness of the Operating
Partnership and the Operating Partnership Subsidiaries by an amount equal to such excess Indebtedness less the amount of cash or cash equivalents infused for such quarter-end pursuant to
the preceding proviso, if any. If the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership Subsidiaries so timely cure such excess Indebtedness by making such infusion or reduction, or both as

ARTICLE IX.  ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

9.01    Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent.

(a)  Each
Lender hereby irrevocably (subject toSection 9.09) appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative
Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the
terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any
other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any
fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term "agent" herein and in the other Loan Documents with
reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used
merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b)  The
L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith until such time (and except
for so long) as the Administrative Agent may agree at the request of the Required Lenders to act for the L/C Issuer with respect thereto;provided, however,
 that the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article IXwith respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C
Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed
to be issued by it and the application and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to the Letters of Credit as fully as if the term "Administrative Agent" as used in this Article IXincluded
the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to the
L/C Issuer.

9.02    Delegation of Duties.The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or
attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall
not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

9.03    Liability of Administrative Agent.No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action
taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be
responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Borrower or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan
Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of the Borrower to any Loan Document to
perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of
any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof.

9.04    Reliance by Administrative Agent.

(a)  The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation,
notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile or telex, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or
made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative
Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required
Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason
of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders or all the Lenders, if required hereunder, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding
upon all the Lenders and participants. Where this Agreement expressly permits or prohibits an action unless the Required Lenders otherwise determine, the Administrative Agent shall, and in all other
instances, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, initiate any solicitation for the consent or a vote of the Lenders.

(b)  For
purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified inSection 4.01, each Lender that has signed
this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter either sent by the Administrative Agent to such Lender for consent,
approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender.

9.05    Notice of Default.The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in
the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a
Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default." The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders
of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article VIII;provided,however, that unless and
until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such
Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

9.06    Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent.Each Lender acknowledges that no
Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter
taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any
Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent
that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into
the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and, as applicable, Unrestricted Subsidiaries, and all applicable
bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also
represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem

56

---

appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such
investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices,
reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any
Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates which
may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

9.07    Indemnification of Administrative Agent.Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are
consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not
reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified
Liabilities incurred by it;provided,however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any
Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from any such Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct;provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful
misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or
out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery,
administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this
Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the
Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the Commitments, the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

9.08    Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity.Bank of America and its Affiliates may make loans to,
issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally
engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Borrower and its Affiliates as though Bank of America were not the Administrative Agent or the
L/C Issuer hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the
Borrower or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Borrower or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be
under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, Bank of America shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such
rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" include Bank of America in its individual capacity.

9.09    Successor Administrative Agent.The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon
30 days' notice to the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement,
the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor administrative agent for the Lenders which successor administrative agent shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times other
than during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective
date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor administrative agent from among the Lenders.
Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring

57

---

Administrative Agent and the term "Administrative Agent" shall mean such successor administrative agent and the retiring Administrative Agent's appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent
shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of thisArticle IXandSections 10.03and10.13shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following
a retiring Administrative Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties
of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

9.10    Other Agents; Lead Arranger, Etc.None of the Lenders identified on the facing page or signature  pages of this Agreement as a
"syndication agent," "documentation agent," "lead arranger" or "book manager" shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this  Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the
foregoing, none of the Lenders so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any  Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders so identified in deciding to enter
into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

10.01Amendments, Etc.No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall be

subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent, shall not be less than $5,000,000

(at its expense) shall execute and deliver new or replacement Notes to the assigning Lender and the assignee Lender.
Any assignment or transfer (other than any assignment as security to a Federal Reserve Bank) by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall

(c)  The
Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent's Office a copy of each Assignment and

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;providedthat such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the
consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification that would (i) postpone any date upon which any payment of money is scheduled to be paid to such Participant or
(ii) reduce the principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable to such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits ofSections 3.01,3.04and 3.05to the same extent as if it were a Lender and
had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the
extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits ofSection 10.09as though it were a Lender, providedsuch
Participant agrees to be subject toSection 2.14as though it were a Lender.

(e)  A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment underSection 3.01, 3.04or3.05than
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 ofSection 3.01unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant
and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply withSection 10.15as though it were a Lender.

(f)    Any
Lender may at any time assign, pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Notes, if any) to
secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank;providedthat no such pledge or assignment shall release a Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party

anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection
(b) above, Bank of America may, upon 30 days' notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall be
entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer hereunder;provided,however, that no
failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer. Bank of America shall retain all the rights and obligations of the L/C Issuer
hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the
Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant toSection 2.04(c)).

10.08    Confidentiality.Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (on behalf of itself and each of its
Affiliates, and each of its and their directors, officers, agents,
attorneys, employees and representatives) 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, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the
confidential nature of such Information and instructed to (and will agree to) keep such Information confidential on the terms provided in this Section); (b) to the extent requested by any
regulatory authority; (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (and each such case, such Person shall endeavor to notify the
Borrower of such occurrence as soon as reasonably possible following the service of any such process on such Person); (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 Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations
under this Agreement or (ii) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such contractual counterparty's or prospective counterparty's professional advisor)
to any credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Borrower, in each case,providedthat each such Person first agrees to hold, and
cause to be held, such Information in confidence on the terms provided in this Section; (g) with the consent of the Borrower; (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes
publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the
Borrower; or (i) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a
Lender's or its Affiliates' investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender or its Affiliates. 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
(i) "structure" or "tax aspects" of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as such terms are used in Code sections 6011, 6111 or 6112, and the
regulations promulgated thereunder, or (ii) available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; providedthat, in the case of
information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified in writing at the
time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if
such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. For the avoidance of doubt, the
Borrower, the

63

---

Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (and each of their Affiliates, their directors, officers, agents, attorneys, employees and
representatives) are permitted to disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the "structure" and "tax aspects" of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as such terms
are used in Code sections 6011, 6111 or 6112, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders related to such structure and tax aspects. The preceding sentence and clause (i) in the definition of "Information" above are set forth herein solely to
come within certain "safe harbor" provisions set forth in certain temporary regulations promulgated under Code sections 6011, 6111 and 6112..

10.09    Set-off.In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is
authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being waived by the Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and
all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the
Borrower against any and all Obligations then due and owing to such Lender. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and
application made by such Lender;provided,however, that the failure to give such notice shall not
affect the validity of such set-off and application.

10.10    Interest Rate Limitation.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the
interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the
maximum amount, or be computed at a rate that exceeds the maximum rate, of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the "Maximum
Rate"). If the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender shall contract for, charge, receive, reserve or take interest in an amount or at a rate that exceeds the
Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower, and in no event shall the Borrower or any other
Person ever be liable for unearned interest or ever be required to pay interest in excess of the Maximum Rate. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, received, reserved or taken
by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal
as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts
the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations. If the Laws of the State of Texas are applicable for purposes of determining the "Maximum Rate", then that term means
the "indicated rate ceiling" from time to time in effect under Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code. The Borrower agrees that Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code does not apply to any Borrowing.

10.11    Counterparts.This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by the different parties
hereto on separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

10.12    Integration.This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and
integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof
and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions
of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not
be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any
party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

64

---

10.13    Survival of Representations and Warranties.All representations and warranties made hereunder and in
any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith
or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and each
Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any
Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default at the time of any Credit Extension.

10.14    Severability.Any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions thereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.15    Foreign Lenders.Each Lender that is a "foreign corporation, partnership or trust" within the meaning
of the Code (a "Foreign
Lender") shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, prior to becoming a Lender herein, two duly signed completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any
successor thereto (relating to such Person and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Person by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement)
or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Person by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or such other evidence satisfactory to
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such Person is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding tax. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Person shall
(a) promptly submit to the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the
relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent of any available exemption from or reduction of, United
States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Person by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, (b) promptly notify the Agent of any change in circumstances which
would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (c) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as
may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws that the Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes
from amounts payable to such Person. If such Person fails to deliver the above forms or other documentation, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Person an
amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code, without reduction. If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Administrative Agent did not
properly withhold any tax or other amount from payments made in respect of such Person, such Person shall indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes
imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) of the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Lenders under
this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

10.16    Removal and Replacement of Lenders.

(a)  Under
any circumstances set forth herein providing that the Borrower shall have the right to remove or replace a Lender as a party to this Agreement, the Borrower may,
upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (i) remove such Lender by terminating such Lender's Commitment or (ii) replace such Lender by causing such Lender to assign its
Commitment (without payment of any assignment fee) pursuant toSection 10.07(b)to one or more other Lenders or Eligible Assignees procured by
the Borrower;provided,however, that if the Borrower elects to exercise such

65

---

right with respect to any Lender pursuant toSection 3.06(b), they shall be obligated to remove or replace, as the case may be, all Lenders that
have made similar requests for compensation pursuant toSection 3.01or3.04. The Borrower shall
(x) pay in full all principal, interest, fees and other amounts owing to such Lender through the date of termination or assignment (including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.05),
(y) provide appropriate assurances and indemnities (which may include letters of credit) to the L/C Issuer as it may
reasonably require with respect to any continuing obligation to purchase participation interests in any L/C Obligations then outstanding, and (z) release such Lender from its obligations under
the Loan Documents. Any Lender being replaced shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such Lender's Commitment and outstanding Credit Extensions. The Administrative
Agent shall distribute an amendedSchedule 2.01, which shall be deemed incorporated into this Agreement, to reflect changes in the identities of
the Lenders and adjustments of their respective Commitments and/or Pro Rata Shares resulting from any such removal or replacement.

(b)  In
order to make all the Lenders' interests in any outstanding Credit Extensions ratable in accordance with any revised Pro Rata Shares after giving effect to the
removal or replacement of a Lender, the Borrower shall pay or prepay, if necessary, on the effective date thereof, all outstanding Loans of all Lenders, together with any amounts due under Section 3.05. The Borrower may then request Loans from the Lenders in accordance with their revised Pro Rata Shares. The Borrower may net any
payments required hereunder against any funds being provided by any Lender or Eligible Assignee replacing a terminating Lender. The effect for purposes of this Agreement shall be the same as if
separate transfers of funds had been made with respect thereto.

(c)  This
section shall supersede any provision inSection 10.01to the contrary.

10.17    Governing Law.
