	10.15 	
      Severability. In the event that any part, section,

SCOPE OF SERVICES 

	 	(i) 	
      Develop a target group within the professional investment
      community to increase the following of, and involvement in, the
      Corporation’s stock. One of the goals of this program is to increase the
      distribution of the Corporation’s shares to new investors and investment
      managers. The target audience will include retail and institutional
      brokers, analysts, small cap fund managers, small independent brokerage
      firms and editors of investment advisory services and

	 	(ii) 	
      Disseminate to the brokerage community, analysts, and
      small cap fund managers, Corporation-approved information including
      information sheets, analysis, and corporate profiles and reports that
      concern the Corporation. The intent of information distribution is
      regarded as updating and introducing interested parties to the
      Corporation’s corporate developments and future plans so as to increase
      awareness of the Corporation and create participation in the trading of
      the Corporation’s shares.

	 	 	 
	 	(iii) 	
      Undertake an ongoing communications strategy aimed at
      existing shareholders to encourage maintaining and increasing their share
      position in the Corporation.

	 	 	 
	 	(iv) 	
      Assist in writing Corporation-approved information
      materials such as information updates and information (fact)
  sheets.

      management of the Corporation with an opportunity to present its story to
      qualified investors.

      Handle all investor inquiries and provide a detailed
      reporting of questions and responses.

	 	 	 
	 	(vii) 	
      The Consultant shall have the authority to perform its
      duties as an independent contractor to the Corporation. Nothing in this
      agreement will be interpreted with the purposes of constituting the
      Consultant or its staff as an associate or employee of the Corporation,
      being understood that the Consultant is and will be an independent
      contractor and responsible for its own actions and the Consultant will not
      be able to allege the contrary. The Consultant shall have no power to
      contractually bind or to execute agreements or any documents on behalf of
      the Corporation. The Consultant is not an agent of the
  Corporation.

	 	 	 
	 	(viii) 	
      The Consultant must perform its duties in a lawful manner
      in compliance with all applicable laws in any jurisdiction in which the
      Consultant performs its duties and the policies and procedures for
      investor relations, promotional and market making activities as detailed
      in the TSX Venture Exchange Corporate Finance Manual and United States
      Securities and Exchange Commission Regulations.

	 	 	 
	 	(ix) 	
      In its performance of services for the Corporation, the
      Consultant is subject to the power, direction and control of the Chief
      Executive Officer of the Corporation and its Board of Directors.

	 	 	 
	 	(x) 	
      The Consultant hereby undertakes to file with the

negatively (such determination in the sole discretion of such Bank), by notice
to the Borrower and the Servicing Agent not later than 20 days after such Bank
is in receipt of such request. Subject to the execution by the Borrower, the
Administrative Agents and such Banks of a duly completed Extension Agreement in
substantially the form of Exhibit F, the Termination Date applicable to the
Commitment of each Bank so affirmatively notifying the Borrower and the
Servicing Agent shall be extended for the period specified above; provided that
the Termination Date shall not be extended unless Banks having at least 66 2/3%
in aggregate amount of the Commitments in effect at the time any such extension
is requested shall have elected so to extend their Commitments. Any Bank which
does not give such notice to the Borrower and the Servicing Agent shall be
deemed to have elected not to extend as requested, and the Commitment of each
non-extending Bank shall terminate on, and each of its outstanding Loans shall
mature on a date no later than, the Termination Date determined without giving
effect to such requested extension. The Borrower shall have the right, with the
assistance of the Administrative Agents, to seek a mutually satisfactory
substitute bank or banks or other financial institution (which may be, but need
not be, an extending Bank) to replace a non-extending Bank. 

          Section
2.02 Notice of Committed Borrowing. The Borrower shall give the Servicing Agent
notice (a “Notice of Committed
Borrowing”) not later than 11:00
A.M. (New York City time) on (a) the date of each Base Rate Borrowing and (b)
the third Business Day before each Euro-Dollar Borrowing, specifying:

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

    
(ii) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing,

15 

     (iii) whether
the Loans comprising such Borrowing are to be Base Rate Loans or Euro-Dollar
Loans, and

    
(iv) in the case of a Euro-Dollar Borrowing, the
duration of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto, subject to the
provisions of the definition of Interest Period. 

          Section
2.03 Competitive Bid Borrowings. 

     (a) The Competitive Bid
Option. In addition to Committed
Borrowings pursuant to Section 2.01, the Borrower may, as set forth in this
Section, request the Banks prior to the Termination Date to make offers to make
Competitive Bid Loans to the Borrower. The Banks may, but shall have no
obligation to, make such offers and the Borrower may, but shall have no
obligation to, accept any such offers in the manner set forth in this Section.

     (b) Competitive Bid Quote
Request. When the Borrower wishes
to request offers to make Competitive Bid Loans under this Section, it shall
transmit to the Servicing Agent a Competitive Bid Quote Request substantially in
the form of Exhibit B hereto so as to be received not later than 1:00 P.M. (New
York City time) on (x) the fifth Business Day prior to the date of Borrowing
proposed therein, in the case of a LIBOR Auction or (y) the Business Day next
preceding the date of Borrowing proposed therein, in the case of an Absolute
Rate Auction (or, in either case, such other time or date as the Borrower and
the Servicing Agent shall have mutually agreed and shall have notified to the
Banks not later than the date of the Competitive Bid Quote Request for the first
LIBOR Auction or Absolute Rate Auction for which such change is to be effective)
specifying:

     (i) the
proposed date of Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day,

    
(ii) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing, which
shall be $10,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 and which shall not
exceed the aggregate amount of the unused Commitments,

    
(iii) the duration of the Interest Period applicable
thereto, subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period,
and

    
(iv) whether the Competitive Bid Quotes requested are
to set forth a Competitive Bid Margin or a Competitive Bid Absolute Rate.

The Borrower may request
offers to make Competitive Bid Loans for more than one Interest Period in a
single Competitive Bid Quote Request. No Competitive Bid Quote Request shall be
given within five Business Days (or such other number of days as the Borrower
and the Servicing Agent may agree) of any other Competitive Bid Quote Request.

     (c) Invitation for Competitive
Bid Quotes. Promptly upon receipt
of a Competitive Bid Quote Request, the Servicing Agent shall send to the Banks
an Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes substantially in the form of Exhibit C
hereto, which shall constitute an invitation by the Borrower to each Bank to
submit Competitive Bid Quotes offering to make the Competitive Bid Loans to
which such Competitive Bid Quote Request relates in accordance with this
Section. 

16 

     (d) Submission and Contents of
Competitive Bid Quotes. Each Bank
may submit a Competitive Bid Quote containing an offer or offers to make
Competitive Bid Loans in response to any Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes.
Each Competitive Bid Quote must comply with the requirements of this subsection

the fourth Business Day prior to the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of
a LIBOR Auction or (y) 9:30 A.M. (New York City time) on the proposed date of
Borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction (or, in either case, such
other time or date as the Borrower and the Servicing Agent shall have mutually
agreed and shall have notified to the Banks not later than the date of the
Competitive Bid Quote Request for the first LIBOR Auction or Absolute Rate
Auction for which such change is to be effective); provided that Competitive Bid
Quotes submitted by the Servicing Agent (or any affiliate of the Servicing
Agent) in the capacity of a Bank may be submitted, and may only be submitted, if
the Servicing Agent or such affiliate notifies the Borrower of the terms of the
offer or offers contained therein at least one hour before the deadline
applicable to other Banks, in the case of a LIBOR Auction or 15 minutes before
the deadline applicable to other Banks, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction.
Subject to Articles 3 and 6, any Competitive Bid Quote so made shall be
irrevocable except with the written consent of the Servicing Agent given on the
instructions of the Borrower. 

     (i) Each
Competitive Bid Quote shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto
and shall in any case specify:

    
A) the proposed date of Borrowing,

    
B) the principal amount of the Competitive Bid Loan
for which each such offer is being made, which principal amount (w) may be
greater than or less than the Commitment of the quoting Bank, (x) must be
$5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000, (y) may not exceed the principal
amount of Competitive Bid Loans for which offers were requested and (z) may be

or below the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate (the “Competitive Bid Margin”) offered for each such Competitive Bid Loan,
expressed as a percentage (specified to the nearest 1/10,000th of 1%) to be
added to or subtracted from such base rate,

    
D) in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, the rate
of interest per annum (specified to the nearest 1/10,000th of 1%) (the
“Competitive Bid Absolute
Rate”) offered for each such
Competitive Bid Loan, and 

    
E) the identity of the quoting Bank. 

17 

A Competitive Bid Quote may
set forth up to five separate offers by the quoting Bank with respect to each
Interest Period specified in the related Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes.

     (ii) Any
Competitive Bid Quote shall be disregarded if it:

    
A) is not substantially in conformity with
Exhibit D hereto or does not specify all of the information
required by subsection (d)(i);

    
B) contains qualifying, conditional or similar
language;

    
C) proposes terms other than or in addition to those
set forth in the applicable Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes; or

    
D) arrives after the time set forth in subsection
(d)(i). 

     (e) Notice to
Borrower. The Servicing Agent
shall promptly notify the Borrower of the terms (x) of any Competitive Bid Quote
submitted by a Bank that is in accordance with subsection (d) and (y) of any
Competitive Bid Quote that amends, modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a
previous Competitive Bid Quote submitted by such Bank with respect to the same
Competitive Bid Quote Request. Any such subsequent Competitive Bid Quote shall
be disregarded by the Servicing Agent unless such subsequent Competitive Bid
Quote is submitted solely to correct a manifest error in such former Competitive
Bid Quote. The Servicing Agent’s notice to the Borrower shall specify (A) the
aggregate principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans for which offers have been
received for each Interest Period specified in the related Competitive Bid Quote
Request, (B) the respective principal amounts and Competitive Bid Margins or
Competitive Bid Absolute Rates, as the case may be, so offered and (C) if
applicable, limitations on the aggregate principal amount of Competitive Bid
Loans for which offers in any single Competitive Bid Quote may be accepted.

     (f) Acceptance and Notice by
Borrower. Not later than 11:00
A.M. (New York City time) on (x) the third Business Day prior to the proposed
date of Borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction or (y) the proposed date of
Borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction (or, in either case, such
other time or date as the Borrower and the Servicing Agent shall have mutually
agreed and shall have notified to the Banks not later than the date of the
Competitive Bid Quote Request for the first LIBOR Auction or Absolute Rate
Auction for which such change is to be effective), the Borrower shall notify the
Servicing Agent of its acceptance or non-acceptance of the offers so notified to
it pursuant to subsection (e). In the case of acceptance, such notice (a
“Notice of Competitive Bid
Borrowing”) shall specify the
aggregate principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted.
The Borrower may accept any Competitive Bid Quote in whole or in part; provided
that:

     (i) the
aggregate principal amount of each Competitive Bid Borrowing may not exceed the
applicable amount set forth in the related Competitive Bid Quote
Request,

    
(ii) the principal amount of each Competitive Bid
Borrowing must be $10,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000,

    
(iii) acceptance of offers may only be made on the basis
of ascending Competitive Bid Margins or Competitive Bid Absolute Rates, as the
case may be,

    
(iv) the Borrower may not accept any offer that is
described in subsection (d)(iii) or that otherwise fails to comply with the
requirements of this Agreement, and 

18 

     (v) immediately after such Competitive Bid Borrowing is made,
the Total Outstanding Amount shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the
Commitments. 

     (g) Allocation by Servicing
Agent. If offers are made by two
or more Banks with the same Competitive Bid Margins or Competitive Bid Absolute
Rates, as the case may be, for a greater aggregate principal amount than the
amount in respect of which such offers are accepted for the related Interest
Period, the principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans in respect of which such
offers are accepted shall be allocated by the Servicing Agent among such Banks
as nearly as possible (in multiples of $1,000,000, as the Servicing Agent may
deem appropriate) in proportion to the aggregate principal amounts of such
offers. Determinations by the Servicing Agent of the amounts of Competitive Bid
Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 

          Section
2.04 Notice to Banks; Funding of
Loans. (a) Upon receipt of a
Notice of Borrowing, the Servicing Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the
contents thereof and of such Bank’s share (if any) of such Borrowing, and if the
Borrower has selected for a Euro-Dollar Loan an Interest Period having duration
of nine or twelve months, the Servicing Agent shall endeavor to elicit from each
Bank whether such Bank is able to provide funding for such Loan at the requested
duration of Interest Period. Such Notice of Borrowing shall not thereafter be
revocable by the Borrower. 

     (b) Not later than 2:00 P.M. (New
York City time) on the date of each Borrowing, each Bank participating therein
shall (except as provided in subsection (c) of this Section) make available its
share of such Borrowing, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New
York City, to the Servicing Agent at its address specified in or pursuant to
Section 9.01. Unless the Servicing Agent determines that any applicable
condition specified in Article 3 has not been satisfied, the Servicing Agent
will make the funds so received from the Banks available to the Borrower at the
Servicing Agent’s aforesaid address. 

     (c) Unless the Servicing Agent
shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the date of any Borrowing that
such Bank will not make available to the Servicing Agent such Bank’s share of
such Borrowing, the Servicing Agent may assume that such Bank has made such
share available to the Servicing Agent on the date of such Borrowing in
accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 2.04 and the Servicing Agent may,
in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a
corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made
such share available to the Servicing Agent, such Bank and the Borrower
severally agree to repay to the Servicing Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date
such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is
repaid to the Servicing Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per
annum equal to the higher of the Federal Funds Rate and the interest rate
applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.07 and (ii) in the case of such Bank,
the Federal Funds Rate. If such Bank shall repay to the Servicing Agent such
corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank’s Loan
included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. 

          Section
2.05 Notes. (a) Each Bank may, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agents, request (i) that its Loans be evidenced by a single Note payable to the
order of such Bank for the account of its Applicable Lending Office in an amount
equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Bank’s Loans or (ii) that
its Loans of a particular Type be evidenced by a separate Note in an amount
equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Loans. Each such Note
shall be promptly furnished to the requesting Bank and shall be in substantially
the form of Exhibit A hereto with appropriate modifications to reflect
the fact that it evidences solely Loans of the relevant Type. Each reference in
this Agreement to the “Note” of such Bank shall be deemed to refer to and
include any or all of such Notes, as the context may require.

19 

     (b) Each Bank shall record the
date, amount, Type and maturity of each Loan made by it and the date and amount
of each payment of principal made by the Borrower with respect thereto, and may,
if such Bank so elects in connection with any transfer or enforcement of its
Note, endorse on the schedule forming a part thereof appropriate notations to
evidence the foregoing information with respect to each such Loan then
outstanding; provided that the failure of any Bank to make any such recordation
or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or
under the Notes. Each Bank is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrower so
to endorse its Note and to attach to and make a part of its Note a continuation
of any such schedule as and when required. 

          Section 2.06
Maturity of
Loans. (a) Each Committed
Loan shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable
(together with accrued interest thereon), on the Termination Date. 

     (b) Each Competitive Bid Loan
included in any Competitive Bid Borrowing shall mature, and the principal amount
thereof shall be due and payable (together with accrued interest thereon), on
the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Competitive Bid Borrowing
(or, if the Competitive Bid Loans are to be outstanding for more than one
Interest Period, the last day of the last applicable Interest Period).

          Section
2.07 Interest Rates. (a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on
the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan
is made until it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the
Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate for such day. Such interest shall be
payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date. Any overdue
principal of or interest on any Base Rate Loan shall bear interest, payable on
demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus
the Base Rate for such day. 

     (b) Each Euro-Dollar Loan shall
bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day during
each Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of
the Applicable Margin for such day plus the London Interbank Offered Rate for
such Interest Period. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on
the last day thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months,
at intervals of three months after the first day thereof. 

     The “London Interbank Offered Rate” applicable to any Interest Period means the rate
per annum (rounded upward to the nearest whole multiple of 1/16 of 1% per annum)
appearing on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or any successor page) as the London
interbank offered rate for deposits in dollars at approximately 11:00 A.M.
(London time) two Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period
for a period of time comparable to such Interest Period or, if for any reason
such rate is not available, the average (rounded upward, if necessary, to the
next higher 1/16 of 1%) of the respective rates per annum at which deposits in
dollars are offered by each of the Reference Banks in the London interbank
market at approximately 11:00 A.M. (London time) two Business Days before the
first day of such Interest Period in an amount approximately equal to the
principal amount of the Euro-Dollar Loan of such Reference Bank to which such
Interest Period is to apply and for a period of time comparable to such Interest
Period.

20 

     (c) Any overdue principal of or interest on any
Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day from and
including the date payment thereof was due to but excluding the date of actual
payment, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the higher of (i) the
sum of the London Interbank Offered Rate applicable to such Loan at the date
such payment was due plus the Applicable Margin (determined for this purpose
without giving effect to the proviso to the definition of such term) and (ii)
the sum of the quotient obtained (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next
higher 1/100 of 1%) by dividing (x) the average (rounded upward, if necessary,
to the next higher 1/16 of 1%) of the respective rates per annum at which one
day (or, if such amount due remains unpaid more than three Business Days, then
for such other period of time not longer than three months as the Servicing
Agent may select) deposits in dollars in an amount approximately equal to such
overdue payment due to each of the Reference Banks are offered to such Reference
Bank in the London interbank market for the applicable period determined as
provided above by (y) 1.00 minus the Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage plus the
Applicable Margin (determined for this purpose without giving effect to the
proviso to the definition of such term) (or, if the circumstances described in
clause (a) or (b) of Section 8.01 shall exist, at a rate per annum equal to the
sum of 2% plus the Base Rate for such day). 

     (d) Subject to Section 8.01, each
Competitive Bid LIBOR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof, for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum
equal to the sum of the London Interbank Offered Rate for such Interest Period
(determined in accordance with Section 2.07(b) as if the related Competitive Bid
LIBOR Borrowing were a Committed Euro-Dollar Borrowing) plus (or minus) the
Competitive Bid Margin quoted by the Bank making such Loan in accordance with
Section 2.03. Each Competitive Bid
Absolute Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount
thereof, for the Interest Period(s) applicable thereto, at a rate per annum
equal to the Competitive Bid Absolute Rate quoted by the Bank making such Loan
in accordance with Section 2.03. Such interest shall be payable for each
Interest Period on the last day thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer
than three months, at intervals of three months after the first day thereof. Any
overdue principal of or interest on any Competitive Bid Loan shall bear
interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal
to the sum of 2% plus the Base Rate for such day. 

     (e) The Servicing Agent shall
determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder. The Servicing
Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the participating Banks of
each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error. 

21 

     (f) Each Reference Bank party hereto agrees to use its
best efforts to furnish quotations to the Servicing Agent as contemplated by
this Section. If any Reference Bank does not furnish a timely quotation, the
Servicing Agent shall determine the relevant interest rate on the basis of the
quotation or quotations furnished by the remaining Reference Bank or Banks or,
if none of such quotations is available on a timely basis, the provisions of
Section 8.01 shall apply. 

          Section
2.08 Method of Electing Interest
Rates. (a) The Loans included
in each Committed Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate
specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Committed Borrowing.
Thereafter, the Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the
type of interest rate borne by each Group of Loans (subject to Section 2.08(d)
and the provisions of Article 8, as follows): 

    
(i) if such Loans are Base Rate Loans, the Borrower
may elect to convert such Loans to Euro-Dollar Loans as of any Business Day;
and

    
(ii) if such Loans are Euro-Dollar Loans, the Borrower
may elect to convert such Loans to Base Rate Loans as of any Business Day or to
continue such Loans as Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional Interest Period,
subject to Section 2.14 if any such conversion is effective on any day other
than the last day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loans. 

Each such election shall be
made by delivering a notice (a “Notice of Interest Rate Election”) to the Servicing Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time)
on the third Business Day before the conversion or continuation selected in such
notice is to be effective. A Notice of Interest Rate Election may, if it so
specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the
relevant Group of Loans; provided that (i) such
portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising such Group of Loans and
(ii) the portion to which such Notice applies, and the remaining portion to
which it does not apply, are each at least $10,000,000 (unless such portion is
consisting of Base Rate Loans). If no such notice is timely received before the
end of an Interest Period for any Group of Loans consisting of Euro-Dollar
Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that such Group of Loans be
converted to Euro-Dollar Loans with an Interest Period of one month at the end
of such Interest Period. 

     (b) Each Notice of Interest Rate
Election shall specify:

    
(i) the Group of Loans (or portion thereof) to which
such notice applies;

    
(ii) the date on which the conversion or continuation
selected in such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with the
applicable clause of Section 2.08(a) above;

    
(iii) if the Loans comprising such Group of Loans are to
be converted, the new Type of Loans and, if the Loans resulting from such
conversion are to be Euro-Dollar Loans, the duration of the next succeeding
Interest Period applicable thereto; and

     (iv)
if such Loans are to be continued as
Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional Interest Period, the duration of such
additional Interest Period. 

22 

Each Interest Period specified
in a Notice of Interest Rate Election shall comply with the provisions of the
definition of Interest Period. 

     (c) Promptly after receiving a Notice of Interest Rate
Election from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.08(a) above, the Servicing
Agent shall notify each Bank of the contents thereof, and if the Borrower has
selected for a Euro-Dollar Loan an Interest Period having duration of nine or
twelve months, the Servicing Agent shall endeavor to elicit from each Bank
whether such Bank is able to continue funding of the relevant Loan at the
requested duration of Interest Period or to convert funding of the relevant Loan
to the requested duration of Interest Period (as the case may be). Such Notice
of Interest Rate Election shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

     (d) The Borrower shall not be
entitled to elect to convert any Committed Loans to, or continue any Committed
Loans for an additional Interest Period as, Euro-Dollar Loans if (i) the
aggregate principal amount of any Group of Loans consisting of Euro-Dollar Loans
created or continued as a result of such election would be less than
$10,000,000, (ii) more than 15 Groups of Loans shall be outstanding at any time
or (iii) a Default shall have occurred and be continuing when the Borrower
delivers notice of such election to the Servicing Agent. 

     (e) If any Committed Loan is
converted to a different Type of Loan, the Borrower shall pay, on the date of
such conversion, the interest accrued to such date on the principal amount being
converted. 

     (f) A conversion or continuation pursuant to this
Section 2.08 is not a Borrowing. 

          Section
2.09 Fees. (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Servicing Agent for the account of
each Bank ratably in proportion to its Credit Exposure a facility fee at the
Facility Fee Rate (determined daily in accordance with the Pricing Schedule) on
the aggregate amount of the Credit Exposures on such day; provided that no Defaulting Bank shall be entitled to receive any facility fee
except in respect of its outstanding Loans for any period during which that Bank
is a Defaulting Bank (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay such fee
that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting
Bank). Such facility fee shall accrue from and including the Effective Date to
but excluding the date on which the Credit Exposures are reduced to zero.

    
(b) The Borrower shall pay (i) to the
Servicing Agent on behalf of the Banks a Letter of Credit Fee (determined daily
in accordance with the Pricing Schedule) accruing daily on the aggregate undrawn
amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and (ii) to each Issuing Bank for
its own account a letter of credit fronting fee accruing daily on the aggregate
amount then available for drawing under all Letters of Credit issued by such
Issuing Bank at such rate per annum as may be mutually agreed between the
Borrower and such Issuing Bank from time to time; provided, that (i) to the
extent that all or a portion of the Letter of Credit Liabilities in respect of
any Defaulting Bank is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Banks pursuant to
Section 2.20(a), such fees that would have accrued for the benefit of such
Defaulting Bank will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to such
Non-Defaulting Banks, pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments,
and (ii) to the extent that all or any portion of such Letter of Credit
Liabilities cannot be so reallocated and the Borrower has not provided cash
collateral in respect thereof, such fees will instead accrue for the benefit of
and be payable to the respective Issuing Banks ratably according to the
outstanding Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Bank. 

23 

     (c) Accrued fees under this Section shall be payable
quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, commencing on the first
such date to occur after the date hereof, and ending on the date on which the
Credit Exposures are reduced to zero. 

          Section
2.10 Optional Termination or Reduction of
Commitments. The Borrower may, upon at least three Business Days’
notice to the Servicing Agent, (i) terminate the Commitments at any time, if no
Loans or Letter of Credit Liabilities are outstanding at such time or (ii)
ratably reduce from time to time the aggregate amount of the Commitments in
excess of the Total Outstanding Amount; provided that each such
reduction shall reduce the Commitments by an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 (or
any larger multiple of $1,000,000). 

          Section
2.11 Mandatory Termination of
Commitments. The Commitments
shall terminate on the Termination Date and any Loans then outstanding (together
with accrued interest thereon) shall be due and payable on such date.

          Section
2.12 Optional Prepayments. (a) Subject in the case of any Fixed Rate Loan
to Section 2.14, the Borrower may, upon at least one Business Day’s notice to
the Servicing Agent, prepay any Group of Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans (or
any Competitive Bid Borrowing bearing interest at the Base Rate pursuant to
Section 8.01(a)) or upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Servicing
Agent, prepay any Group of Loans consisting of Euro-Dollar Loans, in each case
in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating
$10,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000, by paying the principal amount
to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment.
Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of
the several Banks included in such Group of Loans (or Borrowing). 

     (b) Except as provided in
subsection (a) above, the Borrower may not prepay all or any portion of the
principal amount of any Competitive Bid Loan prior to the maturity thereof.

     (c) Upon receipt of a notice of
prepayment pursuant to this Section, the Servicing Agent shall promptly notify
each Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank’s ratable share (if any) of
such prepayment and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the
Borrower. 

          Section
2.13 General Provisions as to
Payments. (a) The Borrower
shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and of fees
hereunder, not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date when due,
in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, without
set-off or counterclaim, to the Servicing Agent at its address referred to in
Section 9.01. The Servicing Agent will promptly distribute to each Bank its
ratable share of each such payment received by the Servicing Agent for the
account of the Banks. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the
Base Rate Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day,
the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business
Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Euro-Dollar Loans
shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof
shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless such Business Day
falls in another calendar month, in
which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Business
Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Competitive Bid
Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment
thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If the date for
any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest
thereon shall be payable for such extended time. 

24 

     (b) Unless the Servicing Agent shall have received
notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
Banks hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the
Servicing Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to
the Servicing Agent on such date and the Servicing Agent may, in reliance upon
such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount
equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent that the Borrower
shall not have so made such payment, each Bank shall repay to the Servicing
Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank together with
interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such
Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Servicing Agent, at the
Federal Funds Rate. 

          Section
2.14 Funding Losses. If the Borrower makes any payment of principal
with respect to any Fixed Rate Loan or any Fixed Rate Loan is converted to a
different Type of Loan (whether such payment or conversion is pursuant to
Article 2, 6, or 8 or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of an
Interest Period applicable thereto, or the last day of an applicable period
fixed pursuant to Section 2.07(c), or if the Borrower fails to borrow, prepay,
convert or continue any Fixed Rate Loan after notice has been given to any Bank
in accordance with Section 2.04(a), 2.08(c) or 2.12(c), or if the Borrower shall
require an assignment of a Fixed Rate Loan in accordance with Section 8.06 on
any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, the
Borrower shall reimburse each Bank within 15 days after demand for any resulting
loss or expense incurred by it (or, subject to Section 9.06(d), by an existing
or prospective Participant in the related Loan), including (without limitation)
any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third
parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment or
conversion or failure to borrow, prepay, convert or continue; provided that such Bank shall have delivered to the Borrower a certificate as to
the amount of such loss or expense, which certificate shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error. 

          Section
2.15 Computation of Interest and
Fees. Interest based on the
Citibank Rate hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or
366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest and
fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the
actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last
day). 

          Section 2.16 Regulation D
Compensation. Each Bank may require the Borrower to pay,
contemporaneously with each payment of interest on the Euro-Dollar Loans,
additional interest on the related Euro-Dollar Loan of such Bank at a rate per
annum determined by such Bank up to but not exceeding the excess of (i)(A) the
applicable London Interbank Offered Rate divided by (B) one minus the
Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage over (ii) the applicable London Interbank Offered
Rate. Any Bank wishing to require payment of such additional interest (x) shall
so notify the Borrower and the Servicing Agent, in which case such additional
interest on the Euro-Dollar Loans of such Bank shall be payable to such Bank at
the place indicated in such notice with respect to each Interest Period
commencing at least three Business Days after the giving of such notice and (y)
shall notify the Borrower at least five Business Days prior to each date on
which interest is payable on the Euro-Dollar Loans of the amount then due it
under this Section.

25 

          Section 2.17 Increased Commitments;
Additional Banks. (a)
Subsequent to the Effective Date, the Borrower may, upon at least 30 days’
notice to the Servicing Agent (which shall promptly provide a copy of such
notice to the Banks), propose to increase the aggregate amount of the
Commitments by an amount not to exceed $500,000,000 (the amount of any such
increase, the “Increased
Commitments”). Each Bank party to
this Agreement at such time shall have the right (but no obligation), for a
period of 15 days following receipt of such notice, to elect by notice to the
Borrower and the Servicing Agent to increase its Commitment by a principal
amount which bears the same ratio to the Increased Commitments as its then
Commitment bears to the aggregate Commitments then existing. If a Bank party
does not respond within such 15 day period following receipt of such notice it
shall be deemed to have elected not to increase its commitment. 

     (b) If any Bank party to this
Agreement shall not elect to increase its Commitment pursuant to subsection (a)
of this Section, the Borrower may designate another lender or other lenders
(which may be, but need not be, one or more of the existing Banks) which at the
time agree to (i) in the case of any such lender that is an existing Bank,
increase its Commitment and (ii) in the case of any other such lender (an
“Additional Bank”), become a party to this Agreement. The sum of
the increases in the Commitments of the existing Banks pursuant to this
subsection (b) plus the Commitments of the Additional Banks shall not in the
aggregate exceed the unsubscribed amount of the Increased Commitments.

     (c) An increase in the aggregate
amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall become effective
upon the receipt by the Servicing Agent of an agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to the Servicing Agent signed by the Borrower, by each Additional
Bank and by each other Bank whose Commitment is to be increased, setting forth
the new Commitments of such Banks and setting forth the agreement of each
Additional Bank to become a party to this Agreement and to be bound by all the
terms and provisions hereof, together with such evidence of appropriate
corporate authorization on the part of the Borrower with respect to the
Increased Commitments and such opinions of counsel for the Borrower with respect
to the Increased Commitments as the Servicing Agent may reasonably request.

     (d) Upon any increase in the
aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.17 that is not
pro rata among all Banks, within five Business Days, in the case of any Group of
Loans consisting of Base Rate Loans then outstanding, and at the end of the then
current Interest Period with respect thereto, in the case of any Group of Loans
consisting of Euro-Dollar Loans then outstanding, the Borrower shall prepay such
Group of Loans in its entirety and, to the extent the Borrower elects to do so
and subject to the conditions specified in Article 3, the Borrower shall
re-borrow Committed Loans from the Banks in proportion to their respective
Commitments after giving effect to such increase, until such time as all
outstanding Committed Loans are held by the Banks in such proportion.

26 

          Section 2.18 Letters of
Credit. 

     (a) Commitment to Issue Letters of
Credit. Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, and so long as no Stop Issuance Notice is in effect, each
Issuing Bank in reliance upon the agreements of the other Banks set forth in
this Section 2.18 agrees to issue Letters of Credit from time to time before the
Letter of Credit Termination Date upon the request of the Borrower; provided
that immediately after each Letter of Credit is issued (x) the Total Outstanding
Amount shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments and (y) the
aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities of all Banks shall not
exceed $100,000,000; and provided further that if (i) the Termination Date has
been extended as to some but not all Banks pursuant to Section 2.01(b) and (ii)
the Borrower requests the issuance of a Letter of Credit which expires later
than the Letter of Credit Termination Date in effect prior to such extension,
then compliance with clause (x) above shall be determined solely with reference
to the Banks whose Commitments have been so extended. Upon the date of issuance
by an Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed,
without further action by any party hereto, to have sold to each Bank, and each
Bank shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have
purchased from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit and
the related Letter of Credit Liabilities in the proportion its respective
Commitment bears to the aggregate Commitments. Each Bank 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.

     (b) Method for Issuance; Terms; Extensions.

    
(i) The Borrower shall give the Issuing Bank selected
by it notice at least three Business Days (or such shorter notice as may be
acceptable to such Issuing Bank in its discretion) prior to the requested date
of issuance or extension of a Letter of Credit specifying the date such Letter
of Credit is to be issued or extended, and describing the terms of such Letter
of Credit and the nature of the transactions to be supported thereby in
reasonable detail (such notice, a “Notice of Issuance”). Upon
receipt of a Notice of Issuance, such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the
Servicing Agent, and the Servicing Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the
contents thereof and of the amount of such Bank’s participation in such Letter
of Credit.

    
(ii) The obligation of an Issuing Bank to issue each
Letter of Credit shall, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in
Section 3.02, be subject to the condition precedent that such Letter of Credit
shall be in such form and contain such terms as shall be satisfactory to such
Issuing Bank and the Borrower. The Borrower shall also pay to each Issuing Bank
for its own account customary issuance, drawing, amendment and extension charges
in the amounts and at the times as agreed between the Borrower and such Issuing
Bank.

     (iii)
The renewal of any Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be an issuance of such
Letter of Credit, and if any Letter of Credit contains a provision pursuant to
which it is deemed to be renewed unless notice of termination is given by the
applicable Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall give such notice of termination
if and only if (x) such Issuing Bank is so instructed by the Borrower in writing
not less than three Business Days prior to the deadline for doing so, (y) a Stop
Issuance Notice is in effect or (z) the extended term of such Letter of Credit
would end after the Letter of Credit Termination Date. No Letter of Credit shall
have a term extending or extendible beyond the Letter of Credit Termination
Date. 

27 

     (c) Payments; Reimbursement Obligations. 

    
(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of
Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable
Issuing Bank shall notify the Servicing Agent and the Servicing Agent shall
promptly notify the Borrower and each other Bank as to the amount to be paid as
a result of such demand or drawing and the date such payment is to be made by
such Issuing Bank (the “Payment
Date”). The Borrower shall be
irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse such Issuing Bank for any
amounts paid by such Issuing Bank upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit,
without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind. Such
reimbursement shall be due from the Borrower on the date of receipt by it of
notice from the applicable Issuing Bank of its obligation to make such payment
(or, if such notice is received by the Borrower after 1:00 P.M. (New York time)
on any date, on the next succeeding Business Day); provided that if and to the extent
any such reimbursement is not made by the Borrower in accordance with this
clause (i) or clause (ii) on the Payment Date, then (irrespective of when notice
thereof is received by the Borrower), such reimbursement obligation shall bear
interest, payable on demand, for each day from and including the Payment Date to
but not including the date such reimbursement obligation is paid in full at a
rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans for such
day.

     (ii)
All such amounts paid by an Issuing
Bank and remaining unpaid by the Borrower (a “Reimbursement Obligation”) shall, if and to the extent that the amount of
such Reimbursement Obligation would be permitted as a Borrowing pursuant to
Section 2.01, and unless the Borrower otherwise instructs the Servicing Agent by
not less than one Business Day’s prior notice, convert automatically to Base
Rate Loans on the date such Reimbursement Obligation arises. The Servicing Agent
shall, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Servicing
Agent so to act on its behalf), give notice no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York
time) on such date requesting each Bank to make, and each Bank hereby agrees to
make, a Base Rate Loan, in an amount equal to such Bank’s Percentage of the
Reimbursement Obligation with respect to which such notice relates. Each Bank
shall make such Loan available to the Servicing Agent at its address referred to
in Section 9.01 in immediately available funds, not later than 1:00 P.M. (New
York time), on the date specified in such notice. The Servicing Agent shall pay
the proceeds of such Loans to the applicable Issuing Bank, which shall
immediately apply such proceeds to repay the Reimbursement
Obligation.

     (iii) To the extent the Reimbursement Obligation
is not refinanced by a Bank pursuant to clause (ii) above, such Bank will pay to
the Servicing Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, immediately
upon such Issuing Bank’s demand at any time during the period commencing after
such Reimbursement Obligation arises until reimbursement therefor in full by the
Borrower, an amount equal to such Bank’s Percentage of such Reimbursement
Obligation, together with interest on such amount for each day from the date of
the applicable Issuing Bank’s demand for such payment (or, if such demand is
made after 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on such date, from the next succeeding
Business Day) to the date of payment by such Bank of such amount at a rate of
interest per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for the first three Business
Days after the date of such demand and thereafter at a rate per annum equal to
the Base Rate for each additional day. Each Issuing Bank will pay to each Bank
ratably all amounts received from the Borrower for application in payment of its
Reimbursement Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit, but only to the
extent such Bank has made payment to such Issuing Bank in respect of such Letter
of Credit pursuant hereto. 

28 

    
(iv) In the event that any payment of any Reimbursement
Obligation by the Borrower to any Issuing Bank is required to be returned to the
Borrower (x) if and to the extent the Banks shall have previously funded their
participations in such Reimbursement Obligation pursuant to clause (iii) above,
each Bank shall return to such Issuing Bank any portion of such payment
previously distributed to it by such Issuing Bank and (y) if and to the extent
the Banks shall not have previously funded such Reimbursement Obligation, the
Banks obligations under clause (iii) above shall apply as if such Reimbursement
Obligation were due but not paid at such time.

     (v)
To the extent there is a conflict
between this Agreement and any Issuing Bank’s application, reimbursement
agreement or related document or agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall
govern. 

     (d) Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the
Borrower and each Bank under subsection (c) above shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including
without limitation the following circumstances:

    
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this
Agreement or any Letter of Credit or any document related hereto or
thereto;

    
(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to
departure from all or any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Letter of
Credit or any document related hereto or thereto;

    
(iii) the use which may be made of the Letter of Credit
by, or any acts or omission of, a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any
Person for whom the beneficiary may be acting); 

    
(iv) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or
other rights that the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary of a
Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom the beneficiary may be acting), any
Bank (including any Issuing Bank) or any other Person, whether in connection
with this Agreement or the Letter of Credit or any document related hereto or
thereto or any unrelated transaction;

29 

    
(v) any statement or any 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
whatsoever;

    
(vi) payment under a Letter of Credit against
presentation to an Issuing Bank of documents that do not comply with the terms
of such Letter of Credit; or 

    
(vii) any other act or omission to act or delay of any
kind by any Bank (including any Issuing Bank), the Servicing Agent or any other
Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the
provisions of this subsection (vii), constitute a legal or equitable discharge
of or defense to the Borrower’s or the Bank’s obligations hereunder. 

     (e) Indemnification; Expenses. 

    
(i) Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless
each Bank (including each Issuing Bank) and the Servicing Agent from and against
any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which it may
reasonably incur in connection with a Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this
Section 2.18; provided that the Borrower
shall not be required to indemnify any Bank, or the Servicing Agent, for any
claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses, to the extent the same
has been caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Person.

     (ii)
Neither any of the Banks (including
an Issuing Bank) nor the Servicing Agent nor any of their officers or directors
or employees or agents shall be liable or responsible, by reason of or in
connection with the execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or failure
to pay under any Letter of Credit, including without limitation any of the
circumstances enumerated in Section 2.18(d) above; provided that, notwithstanding Section 2.18(d), the Borrower shall have a claim
for direct (but not consequential, punitive or any other indirect) damage
suffered by it, to the extent caused by (x) subject to the immediately following
sentence, such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in
determining whether documents presented under any Letter of Credit complied with
the terms of such Letter of Credit or (y) such Issuing Bank’s failure to pay
under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of documents strictly
complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. 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, an Issuing Bank
may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents
without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such
documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such
Letter of Credit.

     (iii)
Nothing in this subsection (e) is
intended to limit the obligations of the Borrower under any other provision of
this Agreement. To the extent the Borrower does not indemnify an Issuing Bank as
required by this subsection, the Banks agree to do so ratably in accordance with
their Commitments. 

30 

     (f) Letter of Credit Reports. Each Issuing Bank shall furnish (i) to the
Servicing Agent on the first Business Day of each month a written report
summarizing issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit during the
preceding month and drawings during such month under all Letters of Credit and
(ii) to the Servicing Agent and each Bank on the first Business Day of each
calendar quarter a written report setting forth the average daily aggregate
available amount during the preceding calendar quarter of all Letters of Credit.

          Section
2.19 Stop Issuance Notice. If the Required Banks determine at any time that
the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 would not be satisfied in respect of a
Borrowing at such time, then the Required Banks may request that the Servicing
Agent issue a “Stop Issuance
Notice”, and the Servicing Agent
shall issue such notice to each Issuing Bank. Such Stop Issuance Notice shall be
withdrawn upon a determination by the Required Banks that the circumstances
giving rise thereto no longer exist. No Letter of Credit shall be issued while a
Stop Issuance Notice is in effect. The Required Banks may request issuance of a
Stop Issuance Notice only if there is a reasonable basis therefor, and shall
consider reasonably and in good faith a request from the Borrower for withdrawal
of the same on the basis that the conditions in Section 3.02 are satisfied;
provided that the Servicing Agent and the Issuing Banks
may and shall conclusively rely on any Stop Issuance Notice while it remains in
effect. The absence of a Stop Issuance Notice at any time shall not affect the
rights and obligations of the parties hereto at any time that the conditions set
forth in Section 3.02 would not be satisfied in respect of a Borrowing at such
time or create any implication that such conditions would be satisfied at such
time. 

          Section
2.20 Defaulting Banks. 

     (a) If a Bank becomes, and during the period it
remains, a Defaulting Bank, the following provisions shall apply:

    
(i) such Defaulting Bank’s Letter of Credit
Liabilities will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below and
provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is containing, automatically
be reallocated (effective on the day such Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank) among
the Non-Defaulting Banks pro rata in accordance with their respective
Commitments; provided that (A) the sum
of each Non-Defaulting Bank’s aggregate principal amount of Loans and allocated
share of the Letter of Credit Liabilities may not in any event exceed the
Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Bank as in effect at the time of such
reallocation and (B) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a
Non-Defaulting Bank pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any
claim the Borrower, the Servicing Agent, any Issuing Bank, or any other Bank may
have against such Defaulting Bank or cause such Defaulting Bank to be a
Non-Defaulting Bank;

     (ii) to the extent that any portion (the
“unreallocated portion”) of the Defaulting Bank’s Letter of Credit
Liabilities cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the first proviso in
clause (i) above or otherwise, the Borrower will, not later than three Business
Days after demand by the Servicing Agent (at the direction of the applicable
Issuing Bank(s)), (A) cash collateralize the obligations of the Borrower in
respect of such Letter of Credit Liabilities in an amount at least equal to the
aggregate amount of the unreallocated portion of such Letter of Credit
Liabilities, or (B) make other arrangements satisfactory to the Servicing Agent
and the applicable Issuing Bank(s), as the case may be, in their reasonable
discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting
Bank;

31 

    
(iii) any payment of principal, interest, fees or other
amounts received by the Servicing Agent for the account of such Defaulting Bank
(whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 6 or
otherwise) or received by the Servicing Agent from a Defaulting Bank pursuant to
Section 9.04 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the
Servicing Agent as follows: first, to the payment of
any amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to the Servicing Agent hereunder;
second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any
amounts owing by such Defaulting Bank to any Issuing Bank hereunder;
third, to cash collateralize the Letter of Credit
Liabilities of such Defaulting Bank in accordance with this Section 2.20;
fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no
Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting
Bank has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as
determined by the Servicing Agent; fifth, if so determined by
the Servicing Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and
released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Bank’s potential
future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y)
cash collateralize the future Letter of Credit Liabilities of such Defaulting
Bank with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement;
sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Banks
or the Issuing Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction obtained by any Bank or the Issuing Banks against such Defaulting
Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this
Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of
any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Bank as
a result of such Defaulting Bank's breach of its obligations under this
Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting
Bank or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction;
provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the
principal amount of any Loans or Letter of Credit Liabilities in respect of
which such Defaulting Bank has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y)
such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when
the conditions set forth in Section 3 were satisfied or waived, such payment
shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Letter of Credit Liabilities
owed to, all Non-Defaulting Banks on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to
the payment of any Loans of, or Letter of Credit Liabilities owed to, such
Defaulting Bank until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded
participations in Letter of Credit Liabilities are held by the Banks pro rata in
accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.20(a)(i). Any
payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Bank that
are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Bank or to post cash
collateral pursuant to this Section 2.20(a)(iii) shall be deemed paid to and
redirected by such Defaulting Bank, and each Bank irrevocably consents hereto;
and

     (iv)
so long as such Bank is a Defaulting
Bank or a Potential Defaulting Bank, the Issuing Banks shall not be required to
issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the
related exposure and such Defaulting Bank’s or such Potential Defaulting Bank’s
then outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities will be 100% covered by the
Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Banks and/or cash collateral will be provided
by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.20(a)(ii), and participating
interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated
among Non-Defaulting Banks in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(a)(ii) (and
such Defaulting Bank or Potential Defaulting Bank shall not participate
therein).

32 

     (b) No Commitment of any Bank shall be increased or
otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section
2.20, performance by the Borrower of its obligations shall not be excused or
otherwise modified as a result of the operation of this Section 2.20. The rights
and remedies against a Defaulting Bank under this Section 2.20 are in addition
to any other rights and remedies which the Borrower, the Servicing Agent, any
Issuing Bank or any Bank may have against such Defaulting Bank. 

     (c) If the Borrower, each Issuing
Bank and the Servicing Agent agree in writing in their reasonable determination
that a Defaulting Bank or a Potential Defaulting Bank should no longer be deemed
to be a Defaulting Bank or a Potential Defaulting Bank, as the case may be, the
Servicing Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective
date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein
(which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Bank
will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of
the other Banks or take such other actions as the Servicing Agent may determine
to be necessary to cause the Loans to be funded and held on a pro rata basis by
the Banks in accordance with their Percentages, whereupon such Bank will cease
to be a Defaulting Bank or Potential Defaulting Bank; provided that no
adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments
made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Bank was a Defaulting Bank; and
provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the
affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Bank or Potential
Defaulting Bank to Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any
party hereunder arising from such Bank’s having been a Defaulting Bank or
Potential Defaulting Bank. 

     (d) The Borrower may terminate
the unused amount of the Commitment of any Bank that is a Defaulting Bank upon
not less than ten Business Days’ prior notice to the Servicing Agent (which
shall promptly notify the Banks thereof), and in such event the provisions of
Section 2.20(a)(iii) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower
for the account of such Defaulting Bank under this Agreement (whether on account
of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that (i) no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) such
termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the
Borrower, the Administrative Agents, the Servicing Agent, any Issuing Bank or
any Bank may have against such Defaulting Bank.

Representations And Warranties

The Borrower represents and
warrants that: 

          Section
4.01 Corporate Existence and Power. The Borrower is a corporation duly incorporated,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware, and has all
corporate powers and all material governmental licenses, authorizations,
consents and approvals required to carry on its business as now conducted.

          Section
4.02 Corporate and Governmental Authorization; No
Contravention. The execution,
delivery and performance by the Borrower of this Agreement and the Notes are
within the Borrower’s corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action, require no action by or in respect of, or filing
with, any governmental body, agency or official and do not contravene, or
constitute a default under, any provision of applicable law or regulation or of
the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Borrower or of any material
agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon
the Borrower or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. 

          Section
4.03 Binding Effect. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and
binding agreement of the Borrower, and each Note, when executed and delivered in
accordance with this Agreement, will constitute a legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Borrower, in each case enforceable against the Borrower in
accordance with its terms. 

          Section
4.04 Financial Information. 

     (a) The consolidated balance
sheet of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2011 and
the related statements of consolidated earnings and consolidated cash flows for
the fiscal year then ended, reported on by Ernst & Young LLP and set forth
in the Borrower’s 2011 Form 10-K, fairly present, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles, the consolidated financial position of the
Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and their
consolidated results of operations and cash flows for such fiscal year.

     (b) The unaudited consolidated
balance sheet of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of March 31,
2012 and the related unaudited statements of consolidated earnings and
consolidated cash flows for the nine months then ended, set forth in the
quarterly report for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012 as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-Q, fairly present, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with
the financial statements referred to in subsection (a) of this Section, the
consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries as of such date and their consolidated results of operations and
cash flows for such nine month period (subject to normal year-end
adjustments).

35 

     (c) Since June 30, 2011, there
has been no material adverse change in the business, financial position, results
of operations or prospects of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries,
considered as a whole, except as publicly disclosed prior to the date hereof.

          Section
4.05 Litigation. There is no action, suit or proceeding pending
against, or to the knowledge of the Borrower threatened against or affecting,
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries before any court or arbitrator or any
governmental body, agency or official which (a) could reasonably be expected to
have a material adverse effect on the business, consolidated financial position
or consolidated results of operations of the Borrower and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries considered as a whole or (b) in any manner draws into question the
validity of this Agreement or the Notes. 

          Section
4.06 Compliance with ERISA. Each member of the ERISA Group has materially
fulfilled its obligations under the minimum funding standards of ERISA and the
Internal Revenue Code with respect to each Plan and is in compliance in all
material respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the
Internal Revenue Code with respect to each Plan. No member of the ERISA Group
has (i) sought a waiver of the minimum funding standard under Section 412 of the
Internal Revenue Code in respect of any Plan, (ii) failed to make any material
contribution or payment to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan or in respect of any
Benefit Arrangement, or made any amendment to any Plan or Benefit Arrangement,
which has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in the imposition
of a Lien or the posting of a bond or other security under ERISA or the Internal
Revenue Code or (iii) incurred any material liability under Title IV of ERISA
other than a liability to the PBGC for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA.

          Section
4.07 Environmental Matters. In the ordinary course of its business, the
Borrower conducts an ongoing review of the effect of Environmental Laws on the
business, operations and properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, in the
course of which it identifies and evaluates associated liabilities and costs
(including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required
for clean-up or closure of properties presently or previously owned, any capital
or operating expenditures required to achieve or maintain compliance with
environmental protection standards imposed by law or as a condition of any
license, permit or contract, any related constraints on operating activities,
including any periodic or permanent shutdown of any facility or reduction in the
level of or change in the nature of operations conducted thereat and any actual
or potential liabilities to third parties, including employees, and any related
costs and expenses). On the basis of this review, the Borrower has reasonably
concluded that Environmental Laws are unlikely to have a material adverse effect
on the business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects of the
Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, considered as a whole. 

36 

          Section
4.08 Taxes. United States Federal income tax returns of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries have been examined and closed through the fiscal year ended June
30, 2008. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all United States Federal
income tax returns and all other material tax returns which are required to be
filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant
to any assessment received by the Borrower or any Subsidiary. The charges,
accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in
respect of taxes or other governmental charges are, in the opinion of the
Borrower, adequate. 

          Section
4.09 Subsidiaries. Each of the Borrower’s corporate Subsidiaries is
a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, and has all corporate powers and all
material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required
to carry on its business as now conducted. 

          Section

by the Borrower to any Agent or any Bank for purposes of or in connection with
this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby is, when taken as a whole,
accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is

forth in Section 5.01, the Borrower has disclosed to the Banks in writing any
and all facts which materially and adversely affect the business, operations or
financial condition of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, taken as
a whole, or the ability of the Borrower to perform its obligations under this
Agreement, provided that, with respect to projected financial information (if
any) the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good
faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time. 

          Section
4.11 Margin Regulations. The Borrower is not engaged in the business of
extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within
the meaning of Regulation U issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System).

     (i) from time to time such

Borrower and its Subsidiaries as any Administrative Agent or the Servicing
Agent, at the request of any Bank, may reasonably request. 

Information required to be
delivered pursuant to subsections (a), (b), (e) or (f) above shall be deemed to
have been delivered on the date on which the Borrower provides notice to the
Servicing Agent for distribution to the Banks that such information has been
posted on the Borrower’s website on the Internet at the website address listed
on the signature pages hereof or at
http://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/webusers.htm; provided that such notice may be included in a certificate delivered pursuant to
subsection 5.01(c). Any document or notice required to be delivered pursuant to
this Section 5.01 may also be delivered to the Servicing Agent for posting by
the Servicing Agent to a website or information platform accessible by the Banks
(the “Platform”). Concurrently with such delivery to the
Servicing Agent, the Borrower shall indicate in writing whether such document or
notice contains Nonpublic Information. The Borrower, each Agent and each Bank
acknowledge that certain of the Banks may be “public-side” Banks (i.e., Banks
that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the
Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their securities) and, if documents or notices
required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 5.01 or otherwise are being
distributed by the Servicing Agent through the Platform, any document or notice
that the Borrower has indicated contains Nonpublic Information shall not be
posted on that portion of the Platform designated for such public-side Banks and
shall be treated as confidential as set forth in Section 9.07. If the Borrower
has not indicated whether a document or notice delivered pursuant to this
Section 5.01 contains Nonpublic Information, the Servicing Agent reserves the
right to post such document or notice solely on that portion of the Platform
designated for Banks who wish to receive material nonpublic information with
respect to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their securities. 

          Section
5.02 Maintenance of Property;
Insurance. (a) The Borrower
will keep, and will cause each Subsidiary to keep, all material property useful
and necessary in its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear
and tear excepted; provided that nothing in
this Section 5.02(a) shall prohibit the disposal of any material property if the
Borrower in good faith determines that such disposal is in the best interest of
the Borrower. 

     (b) The Borrower will, and will
cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain (either in the name of the Borrower
or in such Subsidiary’s own name) with financially sound and responsible
insurance companies, insurance on all their respective material properties in at
least such amounts and against at least such risks (and with such risk
retention) as are usually insured against in the same general area by companies
of established repute engaged in the same or a similar business; and will
furnish to the Banks, upon request from the Administrative Agents, information
presented in reasonable detail as to the insurance so carried. 

39 

          Section
5.03 Conduct of Business and Maintenance of
Existence. The Borrower will
continue, and will cause each Material Subsidiary to continue, to engage in
businesses of the same general types as are now conducted by the Borrower and
its Material Subsidiaries, and will preserve, renew and keep in full force and
effect, and will cause each Material Subsidiary to preserve, renew and keep in
full force and effect, their respective corporate existences and their
respective rights, privileges and franchises necessary or desirable in the
normal conduct of business; provided that nothing in
this Section 5.03 shall prohibit (i) the merger of a Material Subsidiary into
the Borrower or the merger or consolidation of a Material Subsidiary with or
into another Person if the corporation surviving such consolidation or merger is
a Material Subsidiary and if, in each case, after giving effect thereto, no
Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (ii) the termination of the
corporate existence of any Material Subsidiary if the Borrower in good faith
determines that such termination is in the best interest of the Borrower.

          Section
5.04 Compliance with Laws. The Borrower will comply, and cause each
Subsidiary to comply, in all material respects with all applicable laws,
ordinances, rules, regulations, and requirements of governmental authorities
(including, without limitation, Environmental Laws and ERISA and the rules and
regulations thereunder), except where (i) the failure to so comply, individually
or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on the business, consolidated financial position or consolidated results
of operations of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries or (ii) the
necessity of compliance therewith is contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings. 

          Section
5.05 Consolidated Leverage Ratio. The Borrower will not permit the ratio of (i)
Consolidated Debt, determined as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, to (ii)
Consolidated EBITDA for the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended on or
most recently prior to such date, to be greater than 3.5:1. 

          Section
5.06 Negative Pledge. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary will
create, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any asset now owned or hereafter
acquired by it, except: 

     (a) Liens existing on the date of

principal amount not exceeding $1,000,000 individually and not exceeding
$10,000,000 in the aggregate;

     (e) any Lien on any asset of any
corporation existing at the time such corporation is merged or consolidated with
or into the Borrower or a Subsidiary and not created in contemplation of such
event;

     (f) any Lien existing on any
asset prior to the acquisition thereof by the Borrower or a Subsidiary and not
created in contemplation of such acquisition; 

     (g) any Lien arising out of the
refinancing, extension, renewal or refunding of any Debt secured by any Lien
permitted by any of the foregoing clauses of this Section, provided that such
Debt is not increased (other than any increase reflecting the costs of such
refinancing, extension, renewal or refunding) and is not secured by any
additional assets; 

     (h) Liens arising in the ordinary
course of its business which (i) do not secure Debt or Derivatives Obligations,
(ii) do not secure any obligation in an amount exceeding $200,000,000 and (iii)

materially impair the use thereof in the operation of its business;

equivalents securing Derivatives Obligations; provided that the aggregate amount
of cash and cash equivalents subject to such Liens may at no time exceed
$100,000,000;

restrictions, encroachments, and other minor defects or irregularities in title,

the ordinary conduct of the business of the Borrower or any Subsidiary;

lessor or sublessor under any lease of real estate permitted hereunder;

     (l) any zoning or similar law or

amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $50,000,000.

Borrower to any other Person or (iii) sell, lease or otherwise transfer,

Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any other Person if (in the case of this
clause (iii)) such sale will result in a material adverse change in the
business, financial position, results of operations or prospects of the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 

          Section

amount in immediately available funds (which funds shall be held by the
Servicing Agent as collateral pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to it) equal
to the aggregate amount available for drawing under all Letters of Credit
outstanding at such time; provided
that upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or Section 6.01(h) with respect to
the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay such amount forthwith without any notice or
demand or any other act by the Servicing Agent or the Banks. 

ARTICLE 7

The Agents

          Section
7.01 Appointment and Authorization. Each Bank irrevocably appoints and authorizes
the Administrative Agents and the Servicing Agent to take such action as agent
on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the Notes as
are delegated to the Administrative Agents and the Servicing Agent by the terms
hereof or thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agents
and the Banks, and neither the Borrower shall have rights as a third party
beneficiary of any of such provisions, except as expressly provided in Section
7.06. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein (or
any other similar term) with reference to an Administrative Agent or the
Servicing 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 as a matter of market custom, and is intended to
create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting
parties. 

          Section
7.02 Rights as a Bank. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Bank as
any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent and the
term “Bank” or “Banks” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the
context otherwise requires, include JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A.
and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association serving as an Agent hereunder in its
individual capacity. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association and their respective affiliates may accept deposits
from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any
other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with
the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other affiliate of the Borrower as if it were
not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the
Banks.

          Section
7.03 Duties of Agent; Exculpatory
Provisions 

     (a) The duties of the
Administrative Agents and the Servicing Agent hereunder are solely
administrative in nature and no Agent shall have any duties or obligations
except those expressly set forth
herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the
Administrative Agents nor the Servicing Agent: 

     (i)
shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether
a Default has occurred and is continuing; 

     (ii)
shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby that an Administrative Agent or the Servicing Agent is
required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Banks (or such other
number or percentage of the Banks as shall be expressly provided for herein);
provided that neither the Administrative Agents nor the
Servicing Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the
opinion of its counsel, may expose it to liability or that is contrary to this
Agreement or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action
that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any debtor relief law or
that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a
Defaulting Bank in violation of any debtor relief law; and 

     (iii)
shall, except as expressly set forth herein, 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 Related Parties that is communicated to or obtained by
the Person serving as an Administrative Agent or the Servicing Agent or any of
its Related Parties in any capacity. 

     (b) Neither the Administrative
Agents nor the Servicing Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken
by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks (or such
other number or percentage of the Banks as shall be necessary, or as it shall
believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in
Sections 9.01 or 6.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. Neither the Administrative Agents nor the Servicing Agent
shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or the event or events that
give or may give rise to any Default unless and until the Borrower or any Bank
shall have given notice to such Agent describing such Default and such event or
events.

     (c) Neither the Administrative
Agents nor, the Servicing Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to
ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or other
information made or supplied in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in
connection herewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the
information contained therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the
covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein
or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement,
instrument or document or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security
interest created or purported to be created hereby or (v) the satisfaction of
any condition set forth in Article 3 or elsewhere herein, other than (but
subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items expressly
required to be delivered to the Administrative Agents. 

45 

     (d) Nothing in this Agreement shall require any Administrative Agent, the
Servicing Agent or any of its Related Parties to carry out any “know your
customer” or other checks in relation to any person on behalf of any Bank and
each Bank confirms to each Administrative Agent any the Servicing Agent that it
is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that
it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by any
Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties. 

          Section
7.04 Reliance by Agent.
Each Administrative Agent and the Servicing 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
(including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other
distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or
otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Administrative Agent and the
Servicing Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by
telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall
not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any
condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of
Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Bank, each
Administrative Agent and the Servicing Agent may presume that such condition is
satisfactory to such Bank unless an officer of such Agent responsible for the
transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from
such Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of
Credit, and in the case of a Borrowing, such Bank shall not have made available
to the Servicing Agent such Bank’s ratable portion of such Borrowing. Each
Administrative Agent and the Servicing 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.

          Section
7.05 Delegation of Duties.
Each Administrative Agent and the Servicing Agent may perform any and all of its
duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder by or through any one or
more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Administrative Agent and the
Servicing Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and
exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.
Each such sub-agent and the Related Parties of each Agent and each such
sub-agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article 7
and Section 9.03 (as though such subagents were the “Agent” under
this Agreement) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

          Section
7.06 Resignation of Agent.
(a) The Servicing Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the
Banks and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the
Required Banks shall have the right, subject to approval by the Borrower so long
as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank
with an office in the United States, or an affiliate of any such bank with an
office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed
by the Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days
after the retiring Servicing Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such
earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Banks) (the “Resignation
Effective Date”), then the retiring Servicing Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to), on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Servicing Agent
meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been
appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such
notice on the Resignation Effective Date. 

46 

     (b) (i) If the Person serving as Servicing Agent is a Defaulting Bank
pursuant to clause (v) of the definition thereof, the Required Banks may, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and
such Person remove such Person as Servicing Agent and, subject to approval by
the Borrower so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor. If no
such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and shall have
accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed
by the Required Banks) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall
nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal
Effective Date. 

     (ii)
If a Person serving as an Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Bank pursuant to
clause (v) of the definition thereof, the Required Banks may, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such
Person remove such Person as an Administrative Agent and, subject to approval by
the Borrower so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor. If no
such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and shall have
accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed
by the Required Banks), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in
accordance with such notice on such date. 

     (c)
With effect from the Resignation
Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or
removed Servicing Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as
Servicing Agent hereunder (except that in the case of any collateral security
held by the Servicing Agent on behalf of the Banks or the Issuing Banks
hereunder, the retiring or removed Servicing Agent shall continue to hold such
collateral security until such time as a successor Servicing Agent is appointed)
and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed
Servicing Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be
made by, to or through the Servicing Agent shall instead be made by or to each
Bank and Issuing Bank directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Banks
appoint a successor Servicing Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance
of a successor’s appointment as Servicing Agent hereunder, such successor shall
succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and
duties as Servicing Agent of the retiring or removed Servicing Agent (other than
any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Servicing
Agent), and the retiring or removed Servicing Agent shall be discharged from all
of its duties and obligations as Servicing Agent hereunder (if not already
discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the
Borrower to a successor Servicing Agent shall be the same as those payable to
its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.
After the retiring or removed Servicing Agent’s resignation or removal
hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in
effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Servicing 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 the retiring or removed Servicing
Agent was acting as Servicing Agent.

47 

     (d) Any resignation pursuant to this Section by a Person acting as Servicing
Agent shall, unless such Person shall notify the Borrower and the Banks
otherwise, also act to relieve such Person and its affiliates of any obligation
to issue new, or extend existing, Letters of Credit where such issuance or
extension is to occur on or after the effective date of such resignation. Upon
the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Servicing Agent hereunder, (i)
such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank, (ii) the retiring
Issuing Bank shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations
hereunder except in relation to outstanding Letters of Credit issued by it and
(iii) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution
for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession
or, if such substitution is not practicable, make such other arrangement
satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations
of the retiring Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit,
provided that if the arrangements satisfactory to the
retiring Issuing Bank include any “back-to-back” Letters of Credit issued in
favor of the retiring Issuing Bank, then any fees payable by the Borrower in
accordance with Section 2.09(b)(ii) with respect to the “back-to-back” Letters
of Credit shall be for the account of the retiring Issuing Bank, and the amount
of such “back-to-back” Letters of Credit shall not be taken into account in
calculating Letter of Credit Liabilities or fees payable by the Borrower in
accordance with Section 2.09(b)(i). 

          Section
7.07 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Banks. (a) Each Bank confirms to each Agent, each other
Bank and each of their respective Related Parties that it (i) possesses
(individually or through its Related Parties) such knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters that it is capable, without reliance on any
Agent, any other Bank or any of their respective Related Parties, of evaluating
the merits and risks (including tax, legal, regulatory, credit, accounting and
other financial matters) of (x) entering into this Agreement, (y) making Loans
and other extensions of credit hereunder and (z) in taking or not taking actions
hereunder and thereunder, (ii) is financially able to bear such risks and (iii)
has determined that entering into this Agreement and making Loans and other
extensions of credit hereunder is suitable and appropriate for it.

     (b)
Each Bank acknowledges that (i) it is
solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of
all risks arising under or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) that it has,
independently and without reliance upon any Agent, any other Bank or any of
their respective Related Parties, made its own appraisal and investigation of
all risks associated with, and its own credit analysis and decision to enter
into, this Agreement based on such documents and information, as it has deemed
appropriate and (iii) it will, independently and without reliance upon any
Agent, any other Bank or any of their respective Related Parties, continue to be
solely responsible for making its own appraisal and investigation of all risks
arising under or in connection with, and its own credit analysis and decision to
take or not take action under, this Agreement based on such documents and
information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, which may include,
in each case: 

     (i)
the financial condition, status and capitalization of the Borrower; 

     (ii)
the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of this
Agreement and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or
executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with this Agreement;

48 

     (iii) determining compliance or non-compliance
with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a
Letter of Credit and the form and substance of all evidence delivered in
connection with establishing the satisfaction of each such condition;

     (iv)
the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any information delivered by any
Agent, any other Bank or by any of their respective Related Parties under or in
connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed
in anticipation of, under or in connection with this Agreement.

          Section
7.08 No Other Duties, etc.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Persons acting as
Bookrunners or Arrangers listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers,
duties or responsibilities under this Agreement, except in its capacity, as
applicable, as an Agent or as a Bank hereunder.

          Section
7.09 Fees. The Borrower
shall pay to the Servicing Agent for its own account fees in the amounts and at
the times previously agreed upon between the Borrower and the Servicing
Agent.

ARTICLE

Change in Circumstances

          Section
8.01 Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or
Unfair. If on or prior to the
first day of any Interest Period for any Euro-Dollar Loan or Competitive Bid
LIBOR Loan:

     (a)
the Servicing Agent is advised by the
Reference Banks that deposits in dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not
being offered to the Reference Banks in the relevant market for such Interest
Period, or 

     (b)
in the case of a Euro-Dollar Loan,
Banks having 50% or more of the aggregate amount of the Commitments advise the
Servicing Agent that the London Interbank Offered Rate, as determined by the
Servicing Agent, will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks
of funding their Euro-Dollar Loans for such Interest Period, the Servicing Agent shall forthwith give notice
thereof to the Borrower and the Banks, whereupon until the Servicing Agent
notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no
longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Banks to make Euro-Dollar Loans, or to
continue to convert outstanding Loans as or into Euro-Dollar Loans shall be
suspended and (ii) each outstanding Euro-Dollar Loan shall be converted into a
Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable
thereto. Unless the Borrower notifies the Servicing Agent on or prior to the
first day of any Interest Period of any affected Borrowing for which a Notice of
Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date,
(i) if such affected Borrowing is a Euro-Dollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall
instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing and (ii) if such affected Borrowing is
a Competitive Bid LIBOR Borrowing,
the Competitive Bid LIBOR Loans comprising such Borrowing shall bear interest
for each day from and including the first day to but excluding the last day of
the Interest Period applicable thereto at the Base Rate for such
day. 

49 

          Section 8.02
Illegality. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the
adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or
any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental
authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Euro-Dollar Lending
Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful
or impossible for any Bank (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) to make, maintain
or fund its Euro-Dollar Loans and such Bank shall so notify the Servicing Agent,
the Servicing Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks and
the Borrower, whereupon until such Bank notifies the Borrower and the Servicing
Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the
obligation of such Bank to make Euro-Dollar Loans, or to convert outstanding
Loans into Euro-Dollar Loans or continue outstanding Loans as Euro-Dollar Loans,
shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Servicing Agent pursuant to
this Section, such Bank shall designate a different Euro-Dollar Lending Office
if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in
the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. If such
notice is given, each Euro-Dollar Loan of such Bank then outstanding shall be
converted into a Base Rate Loan either (i) on the last day of the then current
Interest Period applicable to such Euro-Dollar Loan if such Bank may lawfully
continue to maintain and fund such Loan as a Euro-Dollar Loan to such day or
(ii) immediately if such Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully continue
to maintain and fund any such Loan as a Euro-Dollar Loan to such day. Interest
and principal on any such Base Rate Loan shall be payable on the same dates as,
and on a pro rata basis with, the interest and principal payable on the related
Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks. 

          Section
8.03 Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If on or after (x) the date hereof, in the
case of any Committed Euro-Dollar Loan or Letter of Credit or any obligation to
make Committed Euro-Dollar Loans or issue or participate in Letters of Credit or
(y) the date of the related Competitive Bid Quote, in the case of any
Competitive Bid Loan, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or
any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration
thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or
its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not
having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable
agency shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, compulsory loan,
special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement (including, without
limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board, but excluding with
respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan any such requirement with respect to which such
Bank is entitled to compensation during the relevant Interest Period under
Section 2.16) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit
extended by, any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose on any
Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the London interbank market any
other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting its Fixed Rate
Loans or the Letters of Credit, its Note evidencing Fixed Rate Loans or its
obligation to make Fixed Rate Loans or its obligations hereunder in respect to
Letters of Credit and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost
to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any
Fixed Rate Loan or Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received
or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this
Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such
Bank to be material, then, within 30 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy
to the Servicing Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or
reduction; provided that the Borrower
shall not be required to compensate a Bank pursuant to this Section 8.03(a) for
any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date
that such Bank notifies the Borrower and the Servicing Agent of the event
described in this Section 8.03(a) that gives rise to such increased cost or
reduction and of such Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor, and
provided further that if the event
giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then the 180-day
period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive
effect thereof. 

50 

     (b) If any Bank shall have determined that, after the date hereof, the
adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy or
liquidity requirements, or any change therein, or any change in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central
bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity
requirements (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority,
central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the
rate of return on capital of such Bank (or its Parent) as a consequence of such
Bank’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank (or its
Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive
(taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an
amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 30
days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Servicing Agent), the
Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Bank (or its Parent) for such reduction; provided that the
Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Bank pursuant to this Section
8.03(b) for any reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that
such Bank so notifies the Borrower and the Servicing Agent of the event
described in this Section 8.03(b) that gives rise to such reduction and of such
Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor, and provided further that if
the event giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then
the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof. 

     (c)
Each Bank will promptly notify the
Borrower and the Servicing Agent of any event of which it has knowledge,
occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation
pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Lending Office if such
designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation
and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such
Bank. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section and
setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall
be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such
Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 

     (d)
For the avoidance of doubt, this
Section 8.03 shall apply to all rules, guidelines or directives concerning
capital adequacy issued in connection with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act and all rules, guidelines or directives concerning
capital adequacy promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority)
or the United States financial regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to
Basel III, regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or
implemented. 

51 

          Section 8.04
Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower to or
for the account of any Bank or the Servicing Agent hereunder or under any Note
shall be made without deduction for any Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that, if the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes or
Other Taxes from any such payments, (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) such Bank or the
Servicing Agent (as the case may be) 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
law and (iv) the Borrower shall furnish to the Servicing Agent, at its address
referred to in Section 9.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt
evidencing payment thereof. 

     (b)
The Borrower agrees to indemnify,
without duplication, each Bank and the Servicing Agent for the full amount of
Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes
imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section)
paid by such Bank or the Servicing Agent (as the case may be) and any liability
(including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect
thereto. This indemnification shall be paid within 15 days after such Bank or
the Servicing Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor. 

     (c)
(i) Each Bank organized under the
laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its
execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Bank listed on the
signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank in
the case of each other Bank, and from time to time thereafter if requested in
writing by the Borrower (but only so long as such Bank remains lawfully able to
do so), shall provide the Borrower and the Servicing Agent with original
Internal Revenue Service form W-8ECI or W-8BEN, as appropriate, or any successor
form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Bank is
entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a
party which exempts the Bank from United States withholding tax or reduces the
rate of withholding tax on payments of interest for the account of such Bank or
certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively
connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States.

     (ii)
If a payment made to a Bank hereunder would be subject to U.S. federal
withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank were to fail to comply with the
applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section
1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Bank shall
deliver to the Borrower and the Servicing Agent at the time or times prescribed
by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Servicing Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as
prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such
additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Servicing
Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Servicing Agent to comply
with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Bank has complied
with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct
and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (ii), “FATCA”
shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this
Agreement. 

52 

     (d) Each Bank organized under the laws of a jurisdiction within the United
States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement
in the case of each Bank listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to
the date on which it becomes a Bank in the case of each other Bank, and from
time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so
long as such Bank remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower
and the Servicing Agent with a duly executed and properly completed Internal
Revenue Service form W-9, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal
Revenue Service.

     (e)
For any period with respect to which
a Bank has failed to provide the Borrower or the Servicing Agent with the
appropriate form pursuant to Section 8.04(c) or 8.04(d) (unless such failure is
due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on
which such form originally was required to be provided), such Bank shall not be
entitled to indemnification or compensation under Section 8.04(a) or (b) with
respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that if a Bank, which is
otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, becomes
subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder,
the Borrower shall take such steps as such Bank shall reasonably request to
assist such Bank to recover such Taxes. 

     (f)
If the Borrower is required to pay
additional amounts to or for the account of any Bank pursuant to this Section,
then such Bank will change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if,
in the judgment of such Bank, such change (i) will eliminate or reduce any such
additional payment which may thereafter accrue and (ii) is not otherwise
disadvantageous to such Bank. 

     (g)
If any Bank or the Servicing Agent
determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes
or Other Taxes (including by virtue of a credit against other Taxes or Other
Taxes) as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to
which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 8.04, it
shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower with respect to the
Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit), net of all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Bank or the Servicing Agent and without
interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority
with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of
the Bank or the Servicing Agent, as applicable, agrees to repay the amount paid
over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by
the relevant governmental authority) to the Bank or the Servicing Agent in the
event the Bank or the Servicing Agent is required to repay such refund to such
governmental authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause
(g), in no event will the Servicing Agent or any Bank be required to pay any
amount to the Borrower pursuant to this clause (g) the payment of which would
place the Servicing Agent or such Bank in a less favorable net after-Tax
position than the Servicing Agent or such Bank would have been in if the
indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had
never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Servicing
Agent or any Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information
relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other
Person. 

53 

          Section 8.05
Base Rate Loans Substituted for
Affected Fixed Rate Loans. If
(i) the obligation of any Bank to make, or to continue or convert outstanding
Loans as or to, Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or
(ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.03 or 8.04 with respect
to its Euro-Dollar Loans, and in any such case the Borrower shall, by at least
three Business Days’ prior notice to such Bank through the Servicing Agent, have
elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Bank, then,
unless and until such Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving
rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist all Loans
which would otherwise be made by such Bank as (or continued as or converted to)
Euro-Dollar Loans shall instead be Base Rate Loans on which interest and
principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Euro-Dollar Loans
of the other Banks. If such Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances
giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist, the
principal amount of each such Base Rate Loan shall be converted into a
Euro-Dollar Loan on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period
applicable to any related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks. 

          Section
8.06 Replacement of Banks.

          If (a) the
obligation of any Bank to make Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to
Section 8.02, (b) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.03 or 8.04,
(c) any Bank is a Defaulting Bank or (d) any Bank does not approve any consent,
waiver or amendment that (x) requires the approval of all affected Banks in
accordance with the terms of Section 9.05 and (y) has been approved by the
Required Banks, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon
notice to such Bank and the Servicing Agent, require such Bank to assign and
delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.06), all of its interests,
rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 8.03 or
Section 8.04) and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that
shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Bank, if a Bank
accepts such assignment); provided
that: 

     (i)
the Borrower shall have paid to the Servicing Agent the assignment fee (if any)
specified in Section 9.06(b)(iv);

     (ii)
such Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Loans, its Letter of Credit Liabilities, accrued interest
thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (including
any amounts under Section 2.14) 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); 

     (iii)
in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 8.03 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 8.04, such
assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments
thereafter; 

54 

     (iv) such assignment does not conflict with
applicable law; and

     (v)
in the case of any assignment resulting from a Bank meeting the conditions of
clause (d) above, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable
amendment, waiver or consent. 

A Bank shall not be required
to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a
waiver by such Bank or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to
require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

similar electronic transmission systems. 

     (ii)
THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE AGENT PARTIES (AS
DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY
DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS,
IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF

PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL
THE SERVICING AGENT OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE

INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR
OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF THE BORROWER’S OR THE SERVICING AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS
THROUGH THE PLATFORM. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand,
communication, information, document or other material that the Borrower
provides to the Servicing Agent pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated therein which is distributed to the Servicing Agent, any Bank or
any Issuing Bank by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section,
including through the Platform. 

56 

          Section 9.02
No Waivers. No failure or delay by any Agent or Bank in
exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Note shall
operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

          Section
9.03 Expenses, Indemnification. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all out-of-pocket expenses of the
Agents, including reasonable fees and disbursements of one joint special counsel
for the Agents, in connection with the preparation and administration of this
Agreement, any waiver or consent hereunder or any amendment hereof or any
Default or alleged Default hereunder and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each Agent and Bank, including the reasonable
fees and disbursements of counsel, in connection with such Event of Default and
collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting
therefrom. 

     (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each
Agent and Bank, their respective affiliates and the respective directors,
officers, agents, trustees, administrators, advisors, partners and employees of
the foregoing (each an “Indemnitee”) and hold each
Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages,
costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable
fees and disbursements of counsel, which may be incurred by such Indemnitee in
connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding
(whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) brought or
threatened, relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any actual or
proposed use of proceeds of Loans hereunder; provided that no Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for
such Indemnitee’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct or material breach
of this Agreement as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final
non-appealable judgment. To the fullest 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 contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan
or Letter of Credit, or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be
liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any
information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications,
electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 

     (c) Reimbursement by Banks. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason
fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under paragraph (a) or (b) of this
Section to be paid by it to any Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any Issuing
Bank or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Bank severally agrees to
pay to such Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Bank or such Related
Party, as the case may be, such Bank’s Percentage (determined as of the time
that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on
each Bank’s share of the Total Outstanding Amount at such time) of such unpaid
amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such
Bank); 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 such Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such
Issuing Bank in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the
foregoing acting for such Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Issuing Bank in
connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Banks under this paragraph
(c) are several and not joint. 

57 

          Section 9.04
Sharing of
Set-Offs. If any Bank shall,
by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment
in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other
obligations hereunder resulting in such Bank receiving payment of a proportion
of the aggregate amount of its Loans, Letter of Credit Liabilities and accrued
interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share
thereof as provided herein, then the Bank receiving such greater proportion
shall (a) notify the Servicing Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at
face value) participations in the Loans, Letter of Credit Liabilities and such
other obligations of the other Banks, or make such other adjustments as shall be
equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Banks
ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued
interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; 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 (x) any
payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express
terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the
existence of a Defaulting Bank), or (y) any payment obtained by a Bank as
consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its
Loans or Letter of Credit Liabilities to any assignee or participant, other than
to the Borrower or any Subsidiary 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 Bank acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim
with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were a direct
creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. 

          Section
9.05 Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement or the Notes may be amended or waived
if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the
Borrower and by the Required Banks (and, if the rights or duties of any Agent or
Issuing Bank are affected thereby, by it); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by each affected
Bank, (i) increase the Commitment of any Bank, (ii) reduce the principal of or
rate of interest on any Loan or Letter of Credit Liabilities or any fees
hereunder (with any waiver of the default interest rate not to be considered a
reduction of the interest rate) or (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment
of principal of or interest on any Loan or Letter of Credit Liabilities or any
fees hereunder or for the termination of any Commitment or Letter of Credit; and
provided further that, unless
signed by all Banks, no such amendment or waiver shall change the percentage of
the Credit Exposures, or the number of Banks, which shall be required for the
Banks or any of them to take any action under this Section or any other
provision of this Agreement.

58 

          Section 9.06 Successors and
Assigns. (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. 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, except that the Borrower may not assign
or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of all Banks, and no Bank may assign or otherwise transfer
any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in
accordance with the provisions of Section 9.06(b), (ii) by way of participation
in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.06(d), or (iii) by way of pledge
or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section
9.06(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto
shall be null and void). 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, Participants to the extent
provided in Section 9.06(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby,
the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agents, the Servicing Agent
and the Banks) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason
of this Agreement. 

     (b) Assignments by Banks. Any Bank may at any time 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); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the
following conditions:

     (i)
Minimum Amounts.

     (A)
in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Bank’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an
assignment to a Bank or an affiliate of a Bank, no minimum amount need be
assigned; and

     (B)
in any case not described in Section 9.06(b)(i)(A), the aggregate amount of the
Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if
the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the
Loans of the assigning Bank subject to each such assignment (determined as of
the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is
delivered to the Servicing Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified
in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than
$5,000,000, unless each of the Servicing Agent and, so long as no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each
such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

     (ii)
Proportionate
Amounts. Each partial assignment
shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning
Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or
the Commitment assigned.

59 

     (iii)
Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment
except to the extent required by Section 9.06(b)(i)(B) and, in addition:

     (A)
the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (y)
such assignment is to a Bank or an affiliate of a Bank; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such
assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Servicing
Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof;

     (B)
the consent of each Administrative Agent and the Servicing Agent (such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments to
a Person that is not a Bank with a Commitment under this Agreement or an
affiliate of such Bank; and

     (C)
the consent of each Issuing Bank shall be required for any assignment.

     (iv)
Assignment and
Assumption. The parties to each
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Servicing Agent an Assignment and
Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;
provided that the Servicing Agent may, in its sole
discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of
any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Bank, shall deliver
to the Servicing Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

     (v)
No Assignment to Certain
Persons. No such assignment shall
be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates
or (B) to any Defaulting Bank or any of its subsidiaries, or any Person who,
upon becoming a Bank hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons
described in this clause (B).

     (vi)
No Assignment to Natural
Persons. No such assignment shall
be made to a natural Person.

     (vii)
Certain Additional
Payments. In connection with any
assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Bank hereunder, no such
assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other
conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make
such additional payments to the Servicing Agent in an aggregate amount
sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright
payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or
other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower
and the Servicing Agent, the applicable Percentage of Loans previously requested
but not funded by the Defaulting Bank, to each of which the applicable assignee
and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all
payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Bank to the Servicing Agent,
each Issuing Bank and each other Bank hereunder (and interest accrued thereon),
and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans
and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Percentage.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and
obligations of any Defaulting Bank hereunder shall become effective under
applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then
the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Bank for all
purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

60 

Subject to acceptance and
recording thereof by the Servicing Agent pursuant to Section 9.06(c), from and
after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the
assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and
obligations of a Bank under this Agreement, and the assigning Bank 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 Bank’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto)
but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 8.03 and
9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring
prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected
parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Bank will constitute a waiver or release
of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Bank’s having been a
Defaulting Bank. Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations
under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated
for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a participation in such
rights and obligations in accordance with Section 9.06(d). 

     (c) Register. The Servicing Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of
each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitments of, and
principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Bank
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 Servicing Agent and the Banks shall treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a
Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Borrower and any Bank, at any reasonable time
and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

     (d) Participations. Any Bank may at any time, without the consent
of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Servicing Agent, sell participations to
any Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s
Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a
portion of such Bank’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including
all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it);
provided that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this
Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible
to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii)
the Borrower, the Servicing Agent, the Issuing Banks and Banks shall continue to
deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Bank
shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 9.03(c) with respect to any
payments made by such Bank to its Participant(s).  

61 

     Any agreement or instrument pursuant to
which a Bank sells such a participation shall provide that such Bank 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 Bank will not,
without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or
waiver with respect to the first proviso to Section 9.05 that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant
shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 8.03 and 8.04 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including
the requirements under Sections 8.04(c) and (d) (it being understood that the
documentation required under Sections 8.04(c) and (d) shall be delivered to the
participating Bank)) to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired
its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.06(b); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of
Sections 8.03, 8.04 and 8.06 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of
this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Sections 8.03 or 8.04, with respect to any participation, than
its participating Bank would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent
such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that
occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Bank
that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower's request and expense, to use
reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions
of Section 8.06 with respect to any Participant. Each Bank 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 this Agreement
(the “Participant
Register”); provided that no Bank 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 hereunder) 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 Bank
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
Servicing Agent (in its capacity as Servicing Agent) shall have no
responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

     (e) Certain Pledges. Any Bank 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 Bank, including any pledge or assignment to secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such
pledge or assignment shall release such Bank from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Bank as a party
hereto.

          Section
9.07 Confidentiality. The Agents and each Bank agree to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information
may be disclosed (a) to its affiliates and to its and its affiliates’ respective
managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees,
agents, advisors and other representatives (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 purporting to have jurisdiction
over it or its affiliates (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by
applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d)
to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any
remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing
provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.07, to (i) any
Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or
participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii)
any actual or prospective party (or its managers, administrators, trustees,
partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other
representatives) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which
payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this
Agreement or payments hereunder, (iii) any rating agency, or (iv) the CUSIP
Service Bureau or any similar organization, (g) with the consent of the Borrower
or (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 Agents,
any Bank, the Issuing Bank or any of their respective affiliates on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For purposes of
this Section, “Information” means all
information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to
the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available
to the Agents, any Bank or any Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to
disclosure by the Borrower, provided that, in the case
of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such
information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any
Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in

and (iv) the Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the
extent it deemed appropriate. The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that
it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such

For purposes of this Schedule,
the following terms have the following meanings, subject to the concluding
paragraphs of this Schedule: 

“Level I Status” exists at any date if, at such date, the
Borrower’s long-term debt is rated at least A by S&P or
A2 by Moody’s.

“Level II Status” exists at any date if, at such date, (i) the
Borrower’s long-term debt is rated at least A- by S&P or
A3 by Moody’s and (ii) Level I Status does not exist. 

“Level III Status” exists at any date if, at such date, (i) the
Borrower’s long-term debt is rated at least BBB+ by S&P or
Baa1 by Moody’s and (ii) neither Level I Status nor Level II Status exists.

“Level IV Status” exists at any date if, at such date, (i) the
Borrower’s long-term debt is rated at least BBB by S&P or
Baa2 by Moody’s and (ii) none of Level I Status, Level II Status or Level III
Status exists. 

“Level V Status” exists at any date if, at such date, (i) the
Borrower’s long-term debt is rated at least BBB- by S&P or
Baa3 by Moody’s and (ii) none of Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III
Status or Level IV Status exists. 

“Level VI Status” exists at any date, if at such date, no other
Status exists. 

“Status” refers to the determination of which of Level I Status, Level II
Status, Level III Status, Level IV Status, Level V Status or Level VI Status
exists at any date. 

The credit ratings to be
utilized for purposes of this Schedule are those assigned to the Debt under this
Agreement or, if none, the senior unsecured long-term debt securities of the
Borrower without third-party credit enhancement, and any rating assigned to any
other debt security of the Borrower shall be disregarded. The rating in effect
at any date is that in effect at the close of business on such date. 

If the Borrower is split-rated
by S&P and Moody’s and the ratings differential is one level, the higher of
the two ratings will apply (e.g., A-/Baa1 results in
Level II Status). If the Borrower is split-rated and the ratings differential is
more than one level, the rating that is one level below the higher rating will
apply (e.g., A-/Baa2 results in Level III Status).
