If there is only one Borrower’s Credit Rating, the Applicable Margin shall be based on such rating.
Should Borrower (or General Partner) lose its Investment Grade Rating from both S&P and Moody’s, pricing will revert to the unrated portion of the table above.  Upon reinstatement of such Investment Grade Rating from either S&P or Moody’s, pricing will revert to the rated pricing table above.

The aggregate amount of Committed Revolving Loans to be made hereunder together with the Letter of Credit Usage, Swingline Loans and outstanding Money Market Loans shall not exceed the Revolving Loan Amount.  Each Borrowing under this subsection (a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $2,500,000, or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and, other than with respect to Money Market Loans and Swingline Loans, shall be made from the several Revolving Credit Banks ratably in proportion to their respective Revolving Commitments.  Subject to the limitations set forth herein, any amounts repaid may be reborrowed.

If the Term Loan Amount shall be increased in accordance with Section 9.17, each Term Loan Bank whose Term Loan Commitment shall have been increased in accordance therewith or who shall have become a Term Loan Bank hereunder, severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make Term Loans to the Borrower pursuant to this Section from time to time in amounts such that the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans by such Term Loan Bank at any one time outstanding shall not exceed the amount of its Term Loan Commitment.  The aggregate amount of Term Loans to be made hereunder shall not exceed the Term Loan Amount.  Each Borrowing under this subsection (b) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least (i) with respect to the Term Loan Commitments in effect on the date hereof, $20,000,000, and (ii) otherwise, $10,000,000, or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and shall be made from the several Term Loan Banks ratably in proportion to their respective Term Loan Commitments.

If offers are made by two or more Revolving Credit Banks with the same Money Market Margins or Money Market 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 Money Market Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such Banks as nearly as possible (in multiples of $500,000, as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate) in proportion to the aggregate principal amounts of such offers.  Determinations by the Administrative Agent of the amounts of Money Market Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

At the request of any Revolving Credit Bank, the Administrative Agent promptly shall deliver copies thereof to such Revolving Credit Bank.  Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit by a Fronting Bank, such Fronting Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each other Revolving Credit Bank, and each such other Revolving Credit Bank shall be deemed, and hereby agrees, to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from such Fronting Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and a participation in such Letter of Credit, any drawing thereunder, and the obligations of the Borrower hereunder with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto, in an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Bank’s ratable share thereof (based upon the ratio its Revolving Commitment bears to the aggregate of all Revolving Commitments).  Upon any change in any of the Revolving Commitments in accordance herewith, there shall be an automatic adjustment to such participations to reflect such changed shares.  The applicable Fronting Bank shall have the primary obligation to fund any and all draws made with respect to such Letter of Credit notwithstanding any failure of a participating Revolving Credit Bank to fund its ratable share of any such draw.  Unless the Administrative Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in Article III has not been satisfied, the Administrative Agent will instruct the applicable Fronting Bank to make such Letter of Credit available to the Borrower and the applicable Fronting Bank shall make such Letter of Credit available to the Borrower at the Borrower’s aforesaid address or at such address in the United States as Borrower shall request on the date of the Borrowing.

(c)Not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of each Swingline Borrowing as indicated in the applicable Notice of Committed Borrowing, the Swingline Lenders shall make available such Swingline Borrowing in Federal funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.1.

(d)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Bank will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 2.4 and the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent, such Bank and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative 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 Administrative 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 2.7 and (ii) in the case of such Bank, the Federal Funds Rate.  If such Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank’s Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 2.5Notes.

41

(a)At the request of any Bank, its Loans shall be evidenced by the Notes, each of which shall be payable to each applicable Bank for the account of its Applicable Lending Office in an amount equal to each such Bank’s Commitment.

(b)Each Bank may, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, request that its Loans of a particular Class be evidenced by a separate Note in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Bank’s Loans of such Class.  Each such Note shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A-1 or Exhibit A-2 hereto, as applicable, with appropriate modifications to reflect the fact that it evidences solely Loans of the relevant Class for such Bank.  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.

(c)Upon receipt of each Bank’s Note, the Administrative Agent shall forward such Note to such Bank.  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 Notes and to attach to and make a part of its Notes a continuation of any such schedule as and when required.

(d)There shall be no more than fifteen (15) Euro-Dollar Revolving Borrowings, and no more than six (6) Euro-Dollar Term Loan Borrowings, outstanding at any one time pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.6Maturity of Loans.  The Revolving Loans, except as otherwise provided herein with respect to Swingline Loans or as otherwise provided in Section 6.2, shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable and the Borrower promises to pay the Revolving Loans, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.  Swingline Loans shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, and the Borrower promises to pay its Swingline Loans, in accordance with Section 2.18(b)(iii).  The Term Loans shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable and the Borrower promises to pay the Term Loans, on the Term Loan Maturity Date. 

Section 2.7Interest 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 for Base Rate Loans for the applicable Class of Loans plus the Base Rate for such day.  Such interest shall be payable in arrears for each Interest Period on the last day thereof.

(b)Each Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day during the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin for Euro-Dollar Loans for the applicable Class of 

42

Loans plus the Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate for such day.  Such interest shall be payable in arrears 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.
“Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate” applicable to any Interest Period means a rate per annum equal to the quotient obtained (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) by dividing (i) the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate by (ii) 1.00 minus the Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage.
“Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage” means for any day that percentage (expressed as a decimal) which is in effect on such day, as prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) for determining the maximum reserve requirement for a member bank of the Federal Reserve System in New York City with deposits exceeding five billion dollars in respect of “Eurocurrency liabilities” (or in respect of any other category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on Euro-Dollar Loans is determined or any category of extensions of credit or other assets which includes loans by a non-United States office of any Bank to United States residents).  The Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate shall be adjusted automatically on and as of the effective date of any change in the Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage.
The “London Interbank Offered Rate” means, with respect to any Euro-Dollar Borrowing for any Interest Period, the LIBO Screen Rate at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, two Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period; provided that if the LIBO Screen Rate shall not be available at such time for such Interest Period (an “Impacted Interest Period”) with respect to U.S. Dollars then the London Interbank Offered Rate shall be the Interpolated Rate.  The “LIBO Screen Rate” means, for any day and time, with respect to any Euro-Dollar Borrowing for any Interest Period, the London interbank offered rate as administered by ICE Benchmark Administration (or any other Person that takes over the administration of such rate for U.S. Dollars for a period equal in length to such Interest Period as displayed on such day and time on pages LIBOR01 or LIBOR02 of the Bloomberg screen that displays such rate (or, in the event such rate does not appear on a Bloomberg page or screen, on any successor or substitute page on such screen that displays such rate, or on the appropriate page of such other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, provided that, if the LIBO Screen Rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.
The “Quotation Date” means, in relation to any period for which an interest rate is to be determined, two (2) Euro-Dollar Business Days before the first day of that period, unless market practice differs in the relevant interbank market for a currency, in which case the Quotation Date for that currency will be determined by the Administrative Agent in  accordance with market practice in the London interbank market (and if quotations would normally be given by leading banks in the London interbank market on more than one day, the Quotation Date will be the last of those days).
(c)Subject to Section 8.1, each Money Market 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 

43

(determined in accordance with Section 2.7(b) as if the related Money Market LIBOR Borrowing were a Committed Euro-Dollar Borrowing) plus (or minus) the Money Market Margin quoted by the Revolving Credit Bank making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.3.  Each Money Market Absolute Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the Money Market Absolute Rate quoted by the Revolving Credit Bank making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.3.  Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than 3 months, at intervals of 3 months after the first day thereof.

(d)Interest on all Loans bearing interest at the Offered Rate shall be payable for each applicable Interest Period on the last day thereof.

(e)In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of all Loans, shall bear interest at the annual rate of the sum of the Base Rate and two percent (2%).

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

Section 2.8Fees.

(a)Facility Fee.

(i)During the Availability Period, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit Banks ratably in proportion to their respective Revolving Commitments, a facility fee on the full Revolving Loan Amount at the respective percentages per annum based upon the Borrower’s Credit Rating in accordance with the following table:
	
		
	Borrower’s Credit Rating
	Facility Fee

	A-/A3 or better
	0.125%

	BBB+/Baa1
	0.150%

	BBB/Baa2
	0.200%

	BBB-/Baa3
	0.250%

	<BBB-/Baa3 or unrated
	0.300%

(ii)The facility fee shall be payable at all times (quarterly in arrears), irrespective of usage, on each January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 during the Availability Period and any extensions thereof.  Any change in the Borrower’s Credit Rating causing it to move into a different range on the table shall effect an immediate change in the applicable percentage per annum.  If there are only two Borrower’s Credit Ratings, it will be the higher of the two.  In the event that the Borrower’s Credit Ratings are more than one level apart, the median rating will be used.  If there are three Borrower’s Credit Ratings, and such ratings are split, then, if the difference between the

44

highest and lowest is one level apart, it will be the highest of the three, but if the difference is more than one level, the rating will be the average of the two highest (or if such average is not a recognized category, then the second highest rating will be used).  If there is only one Borrower’s Credit Rating, the facility fee shall be based on such rating.  Should Borrower (or General Partner) lose its Investment Grade Rating from both S&P and Moody’s, the facility fee will revert to the unrated portion of the table above.  Upon reinstatement of such Investment Grade Rating from either S&P or Moody’s, the facility fee will revert to the rated pricing table above.

(b)Letter of Credit Fee.  During the Availability Period, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Revolving Credit Banks in proportion to their interests in respect of undrawn issued Letters of Credit, a fee (a “Letter of Credit Fee”) in an amount, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, equal to a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin with respect to Euro-Dollar Revolving Loans on the daily outstanding balance of such issued and undrawn Letters of Credit, which fee shall be payable, in arrears, on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 during the Availability Period.  From the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default, such fee shall be increased to be equal to two percent (2%) per annum on the daily outstanding balance of such issued and undrawn Letters of Credit.

(c)Fronting Bank Fee.  The Borrower shall pay any Fronting Bank, for its own account, a fee (a “Fronting Bank Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to 0.125% of the issued and undrawn amount of the Letters of Credit issued by such Fronting Bank (or such lesser amount as agreed to by the applicable Fronting Bank), in no cases less than $500, in addition to each Fronting Bank’s customary administrative charges related to the issuance or amendment of, or drawing upon, Letters of Credit, which fee shall be in addition to and not in lieu of, the Letter of Credit Fee.  The Fronting Bank Fee shall be payable in arrears on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 during the Availability Period.

(d)Term Loan Commitment Fee.  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term Loan Bank (in accordance with its Term Loan Commitment Percentage), an unused fee (the “Term Loan Unused Fee”) which shall accrue and be payable on the daily amount of the unused Term Loan Commitments for the period beginning on the Closing Date, and continuing through the last day of the Term Loan Commitment Period, at a rate of 0.20% per annum on the sum of the average daily unused portion of the Term Loan Commitment.  All Term Loan Unused Fees shall be fully earned when paid and nonrefundable under any circumstances.  Accrued Term Loan Unused Fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter and on the last day of the Term Loan Commitment Period.  All Term Loan Unused Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(e)Fees Non-Refundable.  All fees set forth in this Section 2.8 shall be deemed to have been earned on the date payment is due in accordance with the provisions hereof and shall be non-refundable.  The obligation of the Borrower to pay such fees in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Banks regardless of whether any Loans are actually made.

45

Section 2.9Mandatory Termination or Reduction.  (a) Unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 6.2, the term (the “Availability Period”) of the Revolving Commitments shall commence on the Closing Date and terminate and expire, and the Borrower shall return or cause to be returned all Letters of Credit to the Fronting Banks, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

(b)    On January 24, 2018, if the Borrower has not made Borrowings of the Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount of at least equal to fifty percent (50%) of the total Term Loan Commitments as in effect on the Closing Date, then the total Term Loan Commitments will be reduced to two times the Borrowing of Term Loans made on or before such date and the Term Loan Amount shall be reduced by the amount of such reduction (for example, if the Borrower has made only $50,000,000 of Borrowings of Term Loans by January 24, 2018, then the available unused Term Loan Commitments shall be permanently reduced from $100,000,000 to $50,000,000 on such date).  If requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent those notices required by Section 2.11(g) that are necessary to effectuate the reductions in the unused Term Loan Commitments described in the preceding sentence.  
Section 2.10Mandatory Prepayment.  (a)  In the event that an Unencumbered Asset Pool Property (or any Separate Parcel that originally formed a part of an Unencumbered Asset Pool Property) is sold, transferred or released from the restrictions of Section 5.11 hereof, the Borrower shall, simultaneously with such sale, transfer or release, prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the net proceeds of such sale or transfer, in the event of a sale or transfer, or such lesser amount as shall be required for the Borrower to remain in compliance with this Agreement, in the event of such a sale, transfer or release.  Such prepayments shall be applied to either the Revolving Credit Facility or the Term Loan Facility as directed by the Borrower; provided, however, that if Borrower fails to give such direction, such prepayments shall first be applied to the Revolving Credit Facility, and then to the Term Loan Facility if such prepayment amounts are needed for the Borrower to remain in compliance with this Agreement.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, a simultaneous like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code will not be subject to the provisions of this Section 2.10(a), provided that the exchanged property has qualified as a New Acquisition and any cash “boot” associated therewith shall be applied to prepayment of the Loans or such lesser amount of such cash “boot” as shall be required for the Borrower to remain in compliance with this Agreement.  Sale of an Unencumbered Asset Pool Property (or any Separate Parcel that originally formed a part of a Unencumbered Asset Pool Property) in violation of this Section 2.10 shall constitute an Event of Default.

(b)In the event that the Unsecured Debt Ratio is not maintained as of the last day of a calendar quarter, either (i) the Borrower will add a Real Property Asset to the Unencumbered Asset Pool Properties in accordance with this Agreement which, on a pro forma basis (i.e. the Unsecured Debt Ratio shall be recalculated to include such Real Property Asset as though the same had been an Unencumbered Asset Pool Property for the entire applicable period) would result in compliance with the Unsecured Debt Ratio, or (ii) the Borrower shall prepay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Banks, an amount necessary to cause the Unsecured Debt Ratio to be in compliance within ninety (90) days of the date on which the Unsecured Debt Ratio failed to be maintained.  Such prepayments shall be 

46

applied to either the Revolving Credit Facility or the Term Loan Facility as directed by the Borrower; provided, however, that if Borrower fails to give such direction, such prepayments shall first be applied to the Revolving Credit Facility, and then to the Term Loan Facility if such prepayment amounts are needed for the Borrower to remain in compliance with this Agreement.  Failure by the Borrower to comply with the Unsecured Debt Ratio within ninety (90) days of the date of such non-compliance shall be an Event of Default.

Section 2.11Commitment Reductions; Optional Prepayments.

(a)The Borrower may, upon at least one Domestic Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Banks, any Base Rate Borrowing or Loans bearing interest at the Offered Rate in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), or an integral multiple of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in excess thereof or, if less, the outstanding principal balance, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment.  The Borrower may, from time to time on any Domestic Business Day so long as prior notice is given to the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lenders no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day on which the Borrower intends to make such prepayment, prepay any Swingline Loans in whole or in part in amounts aggregating $100,000 or a higher integral multiple of $100,000 (or, if less, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Swingline Loans then outstanding) 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 applicable Banks (or the Swingline Lenders in the case of Swingline Loans) included in such Borrowing.

(b)Except as provided in Section 8.2, the Borrower may not prepay all or any portion of the principal amount of any Euro-Dollar Loan prior to the maturity thereof unless the Borrower shall also pay any applicable expenses pursuant to Section 2.13.  Any such prepayment shall be upon at least one (1) Euro-Dollar Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Banks of receipt of any such notice on the same Euro-Dollar Business Day as received by it.  Any notice of prepayment delivered pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) shall set forth the amount of such prepayment which is applicable to any Loan made for working capital purposes.  Each such optional prepayment shall be in the amounts set forth in Section 2.11(a) above and shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the applicable Banks included in such Borrowing.

(c)The Borrower may not prepay any Money Market Loan.

(d)The Borrower may, upon at least one (1) Domestic Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent (by 2:00 p.m. New York time on such Domestic Business Day), reimburse the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Fronting Banks for the amount of any drawing under a Letter of Credit in whole or in part in any amount.

(e)The Borrower may at any time return any undrawn Letter of Credit to a Fronting Bank in whole, but not in part, and such Fronting Bank shall give the Administrative Agent and each of the Revolving Credit Banks notice of such return.

47

(f)The Borrower may at any time and from time to time cancel all or any part of the unused Commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility in amounts aggregating One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), or an integral multiple of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in excess thereof, by the delivery to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Credit Banks of a notice of cancellation upon at least three (3) Domestic Business Days’ notice to Administrative Agent and such Revolving Credit Banks, whereupon, all or such portion of the Revolving Commitments shall terminate as to such Revolving Credit Banks, pro rata on the date set forth in such notice of cancellation; provided that after giving effect to any such reduction of the Revolving Commitments the amount of outstanding Revolving Loans, plus the amount of outstanding Money Market Loans, plus the amount of outstanding Swingline Loans, plus the Letter of Credit Usage may not exceed the Revolving Loan Amount (after giving effect to the foregoing reduction in the Revolving Commitments) and, if there are any Revolving Loans then outstanding in an aggregate amount which exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments (after giving effect to any such reduction), the Borrower shall prepay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Revolving Credit Banks, all or such portion of the Revolving Loans outstanding on such date in accordance with the requirements of Sections 2.11(a) and (b).  The Borrower shall be permitted to designate in its notice of cancellation which Revolving Loans, if any, are to be prepaid.  A reduction of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.11(f) shall reduce the Revolving Loan Amount but shall not effect a reduction in the Swingline Loan Amount (unless so elected by the Borrower) until the Revolving Loan Amount has been reduced to an amount equal to the Swingline Loan Amount.

(g)The Borrower may at any time and from time to time cancel all or any part of the unused Commitments under the Term Loan Facility in amounts aggregating One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), or an integral multiple of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in excess thereof, by the delivery to the Administrative Agent and the Term Loan Banks of a notice of cancellation upon at least three (3) Domestic Business Days’ notice to Administrative Agent and such Term Loan Banks, whereupon, all or such portion of the Term Loan Commitments shall terminate as to such Term Loan Banks, pro rata on the date set forth in such notice of cancellation, and, if there are any Term Loans then outstanding in an aggregate amount which exceeds the aggregate Term Loan Commitments (after giving effect to any such reduction), the Borrower shall prepay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Term Loan Banks, all or such portion of the Term Loans outstanding on such date in accordance with the requirements of Sections 2.11(a) and (b).  The Borrower shall be permitted to designate in its notice of cancellation which Term Loans, if any, are to be prepaid.

(h)Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment or cancellation or a return of a Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall promptly, and in any event within one (1) Domestic Business Day, notify each Revolving Credit Bank of the contents thereof and of such Revolving Credit Bank’s ratable share (if any) of such prepayment or cancellation and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

(i)Any amounts so prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.11 with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility only may be reborrowed subject to the other terms of this Agreement.  In the event that the Borrower elects to cancel all or any portion of the Revolving Commitments and the Swingline Commitments pursuant to Section 2.11(f) hereof, such cancellation shall be irrevocable and such amounts may not be reborrowed.  In the event that the Borrower elects to 

48

cancel all or any portion of the Term Loan Commitments pursuant to Section 2.11(g) hereof or if any portion of the Term Loan Commitments is deemed cancelled pursuant to Section 2.9(b), such cancellation shall be irrevocable and such amounts may not be reborrowed.

Section 2.12General 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 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date when due, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.1.  The Administrative Agent will distribute to each applicable Bank its ratable share of each such payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Banks on the same day as received by the Administrative Agent if received by the Administrative Agent by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time), or, if received by the Administrative Agent after 3:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the immediately following Domestic Business Day.  If the Administrative Agent shall fail to distribute to a Bank its ratable share of a payment on the same day it is received or the immediately following Domestic Business Day, as applicable in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall pay to such Bank the interest accrued on such payment at the Federal Funds Rate, commencing on the day the Administrative Agent should have made the payment to such Bank and ending on the day prior to the date payment is actually made.  Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Base Rate Loans or Swingline Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic 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 Euro-Dollar Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Euro-Dollar Business Day unless such Euro-Dollar Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Euro-Dollar 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.  Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by each Term Loan Bank.  Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective Revolving Commitment Percentages of each Revolving Credit Bank.  Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and of fees hereunder shall be made without set-off or counterclaim. 

(b)Unless the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative 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 Administrative 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 Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

49

(c)All payments made on the Loans shall be credited, to the extent of the amount thereof, in the following manner, in each case ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts then due to such party: (a) first, against all costs, expenses and other fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising under the terms hereof, of which, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower has received notice pursuant to the terms hereof, (b) second, against the amount of interest accrued and unpaid on the Loans as of the date of such payment, (c) third, against all principal due and owing on the Loans as of the date of such payment, and (d) fourth, to all other amounts constituting any portion of the Obligations.

(d)If any Bank is a Defaulting Lender, then the Administrative Agent may (or at the request of the Borrower, shall), in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lenders or the Fronting Banks to satisfy such Bank’s obligations to it hereunder until such Bank is not a Defaulting Lender, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Bank hereunder, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

Section 2.13Funding Losses.  If the Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan (pursuant to Article II, VI or VIII or otherwise, and specifically including any payments made pursuant to Sections 2.10 or 2.11) on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or if the Borrower fails to borrow any Euro-Dollar Loans, after notice has been given to any Bank in accordance with Section 2.4(a), or to prepay any Euro-Dollar Loans, after notice has been given to any Bank in accordance with Section 2.11(b), the Borrower shall reimburse each Bank within 15 days after demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or by an existing Participant in the related Loan; provided that no Participant shall be entitled to receive more than the Bank, with respect to which such Participant is a Participant, would be entitled to receive under this Section 2.13), 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 failure to borrow, provided that such Bank shall have delivered to the Borrower a certificate as to the amount of such loss or expense and the calculation thereof, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.14Computation of Interest and Fees.  Interest based on the Prime 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 2.15Method of Electing Interest Rates.

(a)The Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Committed Borrowing or as otherwise provided in Section 2.18 with respect to Mandatory Borrowings.  Thereafter, the 

50

Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Group of Loans (subject in each case to the provisions of Article VIII), as follows:

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

(ii)if such Loans are Euro-Dollar Loans or Loans bearing interest at the Offered Rate, the Borrower may elect to convert such Loans to Base Rate Loans or elect to continue such Loans as Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional Interest Period, in each case effective on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Loans.

Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice (a “Notice of Interest Rate Election”) to the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Euro-Dollar Business Days before the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective (unless the relevant Loans are to be continued as Base Rate Loans, in which case such notice shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least one (1) Domestic Business Day before such continuation 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, (ii) the portion to which such notice applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each $1,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000, (iii) there shall be no more than fifteen (15) Revolving Borrowings, and no more than six (6) Term Loan Borrowings, comprised of Euro-Dollar Loans outstanding at any time under this Agreement, (iv) no Loan may be continued as, or converted into, a Euro-Dollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (v) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the applicable Maturity Date.
(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 subsection (a) above;

(iii)if the Loans comprising such Group are to be converted, the new type of Loans and, if such new Loans are Euro-Dollar Loans, the duration of the initial 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.

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

51

(c)Upon receipt of a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the Borrower pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Bank on the same day as it receives such Notice of Interest Rate Election of the contents thereof and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.  If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Notice of Interest Rate Election to the Administrative Agent for any Group of Euro-Dollar Loans, such Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 2.16Letters of Credit.  (a)  Subject to the (a) terms contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including Section 2.1(a) hereof, upon the receipt of a notice in accordance with Section 2.2(b) requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, a Fronting Bank shall issue a Letter of Credit or Letters of Credit in such form as is reasonably acceptable to the Borrower in an amount or amounts equal to the amount or amounts requested by the Borrower.  Letters of Credit issued and outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement are Letters of Credit for purposes of this Agreement.

(b)Each Letter of Credit shall be issued in the minimum amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000).

(c)The Letter of Credit Usage shall be no more than Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) at any one time and the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by a Fronting Bank at such time plus the aggregate amount of all LC Disbursements made by such Fronting Bank that have not yet been reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower at such time shall not exceed its Letter of Credit Commitment unless such Fronting Bank has consented to issue Letters of Credit in excess of its Letter of Credit Commitment.

(d)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Fronting Bank shall have any obligation hereunder to issue any Letter of Credit the proceeds of which would be made to any Person which to the knowledge of such Fronting Bank is a Sanctioned Person.

(e)In the event of any request for a drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereunder, the applicable Fronting Bank(s) shall endeavor to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall endeavor to notify each Revolving Credit Bank thereof) on or before the date on which such Fronting Bank(s) intend to honor such drawing, and, except as provided in this subsection (e), the Borrower shall reimburse such Fronting Bank(s), by paying to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, on the same day on which such drawing is honored in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, however, unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the Fronting Banks prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Domestic Business Day immediately prior to the date of such drawing that the Borrower intends to reimburse the Fronting Banks for the amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of the Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Committed Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.2 to the Administrative Agent, requesting a Borrowing of Base Rate Revolving Loans on the date on which such drawing is honored and in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing.  Each Revolving Credit Bank (other than the Fronting Banks) shall, in accordance with Section 2.4(b), make available its share of such Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, the proceeds of which shall be 

52

applied directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Fronting Banks for the amount of such draw.  In the event that any such Revolving Credit Bank fails to make available to the Fronting Banks the amount of such Revolving Credit Bank’s participation on the date of a drawing, the Fronting Banks (through the Administrative Agent) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Credit Bank together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate commencing on the date such drawing is honored.

(f)If, at the time a beneficiary under any Letter of Credit requests a drawing thereunder, an Event of Default as described in Section 6.1(f) or Section 6.1(g) shall have occurred and is continuing, then on the date on which a Fronting Bank shall have honored such drawing, the Borrower shall have an unreimbursed obligation (the “Unreimbursed Obligation”) to such Fronting Bank in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing, which amount shall bear interest at the annual rate of the sum of the Base Rate plus two percent (2%).  Each Revolving Credit Bank shall purchase an undivided participating interest in the Unreimbursed Obligation in an amount equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof, and upon receipt thereof the Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Revolving Credit Bank an Unreimbursed Obligation participation certificate dated the date of the applicable Fronting Bank’s receipt of such funds and in the amount of such Revolving Credit Bank’s Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof.

(g)If, after the date hereof, any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any court or administrative or governmental authority charged with the administration thereof shall either (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by, or assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or participations in any letter of credit, upon any Revolving Credit Bank (including any Fronting Bank) or (ii) impose on any Revolving Credit Bank any other condition regarding this Agreement or such Revolving Credit Bank (including any Fronting Bank) as it pertains to the Letters of Credit or any participation therein and the result of any event referred to in the preceding clause (i) or (ii) shall be to increase, by an amount deemed by such Fronting Bank or such Revolving Credit Bank to be material, the cost to such Fronting Bank or any Revolving Credit Bank of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or participating therein then the Borrower shall pay to such Fronting Bank or such Revolving Credit Bank, within 15 days after written demand by such Revolving Credit Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of such amount or amounts, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Fronting Bank or such Revolving Credit Bank for such increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder.

(h)The Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save each Fronting Bank harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) which any Fronting Bank may incur or be subject to as a result of (i) the issuance of the Letters of Credit, other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Fronting Bank or (ii) the failure of a Fronting Bank to honor a drawing under any Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority (collectively, “Governmental Acts”), other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Fronting Bank.  As between the 

53

Borrower and a Fronting Bank, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuses of, the Letters of Credit issued by such Fronting Bank, by the beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, no Fronting Bank shall be responsible (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of such Letters of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the validity or insufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) for failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any message, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, facsimile transmission, or otherwise; (v) for errors in interpretation of any technical terms; (vi) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any documents required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of such Letter of Credit; and (viii) for any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of such Fronting Bank, including any Government Acts, in each case other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Fronting Bank.  None of the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any Fronting Bank’s rights and powers hereunder.  In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by a Fronting Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or the related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put such Fronting Bank under any resulting liability to the Borrower.

(i)If a Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent is required at any time, pursuant to any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or reorganization law or otherwise, to return to the Borrower any reimbursement by the Borrower of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, each Revolving Credit Bank shall pay to such Fronting Bank (through the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, its share of such payment, but without interest thereon unless such Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent is required to pay interest on such amounts to the person recovering such payment, in which case with interest thereon, computed at the same rate, and on the same basis, as the interest that such Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent is required to pay.

(j) A Fronting Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Fronting Bank and the successor Fronting Bank; provided that if the successor Fronting Bank is not an Eligible Assignee, then the consent of the Required Banks shall also be required for such replacement.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of a Fronting Bank.  At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Fronting Bank pursuant to Section 2.8.  From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Fronting Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Fronting Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Fronting Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Fronting Bank, or to such successor and all previous Fronting Banks, as the context shall require.  After the replacement of a Fronting Bank hereunder, the 

54

replaced Fronting Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Fronting Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.  Subject to and conditioned on the appointment and acceptance of a successor Fronting Bank, any Fronting Bank may resign as a Fronting Bank at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, such Fronting Bank shall be replaced as set forth above.

Section 2.17Letter of Credit Usage Absolute.  The obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement in respect of any Letter of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (as the same may be amended from time to time) and any Letter of Credit Documents (as hereinafter defined) under all circumstances, including, without limitation, to the extent permitted by law, the following circumstances:

(a)any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (collectively, the “Letter of Credit Documents”) or any Loan Document;

(b)any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of the Letters of Credit or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent by the Borrower to departure from all or any of the Letter of Credit Documents or any Loan Document; provided, that no Fronting Bank shall consent to any such change or amendment unless previously consented to in writing by the Borrower;

(c)any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of the Letters of Credit;

(d)the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any Fronting Bank or any Revolving Credit Bank (other than a defense based on the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, such Fronting Bank or such Revolving Credit Bank) or any other Person, whether in connection with the Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Letters of Credit Documents or any unrelated transaction;

(e)any draft or any other document presented under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or other Loan Document proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; provided, that payment by a Fronting Bank under such Letter of Credit against presentation of such draft or document shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Fronting Bank;

55

(f)payment by a Fronting Bank against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit; provided, that such payment shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Fronting Bank; and

(g)any other circumstance or happening whatsoever other than the payment in full of all obligations hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower; provided, that such other circumstance or happening shall not have been the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct of the applicable Fronting Bank.
Section 2.18Swingline Loan Subfacility.

(a)Swingline Commitment.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.18, each Swingline Lender, in its individual capacity, agrees to make certain revolving credit loans to the Borrower (each a “Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) from time to time during the Availability Period hereof; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the aggregate Revolving Commitments less the Outstanding Balance, and (ii) the Swingline Loan Amount; and provided further that (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans made by such Swingline Lender shall not exceed such Swingline Lender’s Swingline Commitment unless such Swingline Lender has consented to make Swingline Loans in excess of its Swingline Commitment.  A Swingline Lender shall not make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan.   Subject to the limitations set forth herein, any amounts repaid in respect of Swingline Loans may be reborrowed.  

(b)Swingline Borrowings.

(i)Notice of Borrowing.  With respect to any Swingline Borrowing, the Borrower shall give the Swingline Lenders and the Administrative Agent notice in writing which is received by the Swingline Lenders and Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the proposed date of such Swingline Borrowing (and confirmed by telephone by such time), specifying (A) that a Swingline Borrowing is being requested, (B) the amount of such Swingline Borrowing, (C) the proposed date of such Swingline Borrowing, which shall be a Domestic Business Day, and (D) that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing both before and after giving effect to such Swingline Borrowing.  Such notice shall be irrevocable.  Each Swingline Lender shall make its ratable portion of the requested Swingline Loan (such ratable portion to be calculated based upon such Swingline Lender’s Swingline Commitment to the Swingline Loan Amount) available to the Borrower by means of a credit to the general deposit account of the Borrower with the Administrative Agent designated for such purpose) by 6:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.  The failure of any Swingline Lender to make its ratable portion of a Swingline Loan shall not relieve any other Swingline Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its ratable portion of such Swingline Loan on the date of such Swingline Loan, but no Swingline Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Swingline 

56

Lender to make the ratable portion of a Swingline Loan to be made by such other Swingline Lender on the date of any Swingline Loan.

(ii)Minimum Amounts.  Each Swingline Borrowing shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000, or larger multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

(iii)Repayment of Swingline Loans.  Each Swingline Loan shall be due and payable on the earliest of (A) ten (10) days after the date of the applicable Swingline Borrowing, (B) the date of the next Committed Revolving Borrowing, and (C) the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.  If, and to the extent, any Swingline Loans shall be outstanding on the date of any Committed Revolving Borrowing, such Swingline Loans shall first be repaid from the proceeds of such Committed Revolving Borrowing prior to the disbursement of the same to the Borrower.  If, and to the extent, a Committed Revolving Borrowing is not requested prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the end of the five (5) day period after a Swingline Borrowing, or unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lenders prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the fourth (4th) day after the Swingline Borrowing that the Borrower intends to reimburse such Swingline Lenders for the amount of such Swingline Borrowing with funds other than proceeds of the Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Committed Revolving Borrowing comprised entirely of Base Rate Loans in the amount of the applicable Swingline Loan then outstanding, the proceeds of which shall be used to repay such Swingline Loans to such Swingline Lenders.  In addition, if (x) the Borrower does not repay the Swingline Loans on or prior to the end of such five (5) day period, or (y) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred during such five (5) day period, each Swingline Lender may, at any time, in its sole discretion, by written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, demand repayment of its Swingline Loans by way of a Committed Revolving Borrowing, in which case the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Committed Revolving Borrowing comprised entirely of Base Rate Loans in the amount of such Swingline Loans then outstanding, the proceeds of which shall be used to repay such Swingline Loans to such Swingline Lender.  Any Committed Revolving Borrowing which is deemed requested by the Borrower in accordance with this Section 2.18(b)(iii) is hereinafter referred to as a “Mandatory Borrowing”.  Each Revolving Credit Bank hereby irrevocably agrees to make Committed Revolving Loans promptly upon receipt of notice from a Swingline Lender of any such deemed request for a Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentences and on the date such notice is received by such Revolving Credit Bank (or the next Domestic Business Day if such notice is received after 12:00 noon (New York City time)) notwithstanding (I) that the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount of Committed Revolving Borrowings otherwise required hereunder, (II) whether any conditions specified in Section 3.2 are then satisfied, (III) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (IV) failure of any such deemed request for a Committed Revolving Borrowing to be made by the time otherwise required in Section 2.2, (V) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing (provided that such date must be a Domestic Business Day), or (VI) any termination of the Revolving Commitments immediately prior to such Mandatory Borrowing or contemporaneously therewith; provided, however, that no 

57

Revolving Credit Bank shall be obligated to make Committed Revolving Loans in respect of a Mandatory Borrowing if a Default or an Event of Default then exists and the applicable Swingline Loan was made by a Swingline Lender without receipt of a written Notice of Borrowing in the form specified in subclause (i) above or after Administrative Agent has delivered a notice of Default or Event of Default which has not been rescinded.

(iv)Purchase of Participations.  In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Borrower), then each Revolving Credit Bank hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payment received from the Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lenders such participations in the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause each such Revolving Credit Bank to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon its Revolving Commitment Percentage (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 6.2), provided that (A) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans with respect to any participation shall be for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender until but excluding the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, and (B) in the event of a delay between the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred and the time any purchase of a participation pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Revolving Credit Bank shall be required to pay to the Swingline Lenders interest on the principal amount of such participation for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate, for the two (2) Domestic Business Days after the date the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, and thereafter at a rate equal to the Base Rate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Revolving Credit Bank shall be obligated to purchase a participation in any Swingline Loan if a Default or an Event of Default then exists and such Swingline Loan was made by a Swingline Lender without receipt of a written Notice of Borrowing in the form specified in subclause (i) above or after Administrative Agent has delivered a notice of Default or Event of Default which has not been rescinded.

(c)Interest Rate.  Each Swingline Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Swingline Loan is made until the date it is repaid, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Euro-Dollar Revolving Loans for such day.

(d)Replacement and Resignation.  (i) Any Swingline Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Swingline Lender and the successor Swingline Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of a Swingline Lender.  At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid interest accrued for the account of the replaced Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.7.  From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (x) the successor Swingline Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made 

58

thereafter and (y) references herein to the term “Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swingline Lender, or to such successor and all previous Swingline Lenders, as the context shall require.  After the replacement of a Swingline Lender hereunder, the replaced Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made by it prior to its replacement, but shall not be required to make additional Swingline Loans.  Subject to and conditioned on the appointment and acceptance of a successor Swingline Lender, any Swingline Lender may resign as a Swingline Lender at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, such Swingline Lender shall be replaced in accordance with the replacement provisions of this Section 2.18(d).

Section 2.19Extending Facilities.

(a)The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or any portion of Term Loans or Revolving Loans or the Revolving Commitment with a like maturity date (an “Existing Loan Facility”) be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s) with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, and to otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments to the extent not prohibited in this Section 2.19 (any such Term Loans or Revolving Loans which have been so converted, “Extended Loans”, and any such Revolving Commitments which have been so converted, “Extended Revolving Commitments”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.19 (an “Extension”).  Any such request shall be made on a pro rata basis and on the same terms to each applicable Bank.  In order to establish any Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Banks under the applicable Existing Loan Facility) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments to be established, provided that:

(i)all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Loans (including the maturity date) may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal (including the maturity date) of the Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as applicable, of such Existing Loan Facility to the extent provided in the applicable Loan Extension Amendment;

(ii)the interest margins with respect to the Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments may be different than the interest margins for the Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, of such Existing Loan Facility, and upfront fees may be paid to the Extending Lenders, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Loan Extension Amendment;

(iii)the Loan Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the latest applicable Maturity Date of the Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments being converted as in effect on the effective date of the Loan Extension Amendment immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments; or

59

(iv)no Extended Loans that were Term Loans may be optionally prepaid prior to the date on which the Term Loans under the Existing Loan Facility from which they were converted are repaid in full unless such optional prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata optional prepayment of the Term Loans under such Existing Loan Facility; and

(v)(A) the borrowing and repayment (except for (x) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings), (y) repayments required upon the maturity date of the non-extending Revolving Commitments and (z) repayment made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of Loans with respect to Extended Revolving Commitments after the applicable Extension date shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Commitments of such tranche, (B) all Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Banks with Revolving Commitments in accordance with their percentage of the Revolving Commitments subject to the express terms herein, (C) the permanent repayment of Revolving Loans with respect to, and termination of, Extended Revolving Commitments after the applicable Extension date shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Commitments, except that the Borrower shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate commitments of any such Class on a better than a pro rata basis as compared to any other Class with a later maturity date than such Class, (D) assignments and participations of Extended Revolving Commitments and extended Revolving Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans and (E) at no time shall there be Revolving Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Commitments and any original Revolving Commitments) which have more than two (2) different maturity dates.

Any Extended Loans and/or Extended Revolving Commitments converted pursuant to any Loan Extension Amendment shall be designated a separate Class of Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Loans converted from an Existing Loan Facility may, to the extent provided in the applicable Loan Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Class of Loans or Commitments with respect to such Existing Loan Facility.  Any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate Class of Term Loans from the Class of Term Loans from which there were converted, any Extended Revolving Loans shall constitute a separate Class of Revolving Loans from the Class of Revolving Loans from which there were converted and any Extended Revolving Commitments shall constitute a separate tranche of Revolving Commitments from the tranche of Revolving Commitments from which they were converted.  No Extension shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory prepayment for purpose of Sections 2.10 and 2.11.  Each Extension shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Banks that accept an Extension Request.

(b)The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which Banks under the Existing Loan Facility are requested to respond.  No Extension Request is required to be in any minimum amount or increment; provided that the Borrower may specify as a condition to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be specified in the applicable Extension Request) of Term 

60

Loans, Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments be tendered (subject to waiver by the Borrower in its sole discretion).  No Bank shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, of any Existing Loan Facility converted into Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments pursuant to any Extension Request.  Any Bank (an “Extending Lender”) wishing in its sole and individual discretion to have all or any portion of its Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, under the Existing Loan Facility  subject to such Extension Request converted into Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, under the Existing Loan Facility  which it has elected to request be converted into Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments.  In the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments under the Existing Loan Facility  subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments, as applicable, included in such Extension Election.  It shall be a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any Extension that no Default or Event of Default shall exist on the date of the Extension Request and on the date of the Extension.

(c)Each Class of Extended Loans and Extended Revolving Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (a “Loan Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Lender providing an Extended Loan or Extended Revolving Commitment thereunder which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in paragraph (a) above (but which shall not require the consent of any other Bank) and which may include such technical amendments to this Agreement as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.  Each Loan Extension Amendment shall be binding on the Banks, the General Partner and the other parties hereto.  In connection with any Loan Extension Amendment, the Borrower shall deliver a reaffirmation of the Guaranty from the General Partner and such resolutions, certificates, opinions of counsel (including in-house opinions in lieu of opinions of outside counsel) and other documents in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent.

(d)This Section 2.19 shall supersede any provisions in Sections 9.4 or 9.5 to the contrary.

(a)  Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 6.1(f) or (g), the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the unpaid principal amount of, and any and all accrued interest on, the Loans and any and all accrued fees and other Obligations hereunder shall automatically become immediately due and payable, with all additional interest from time to time accrued thereon and without presentment, demand, or protest or other notices or requirements of any kind (including, without limitation, valuation and appraisement, diligence, presentment, notice of intent to demand or accelerate and notice of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Banks shall, exercise any of its rights and remedies hereunder and by written notice to the Borrower, declare the Commitment(s) of each Bank to make Loans to be terminated whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate, declare the unpaid principal amount of and any and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and any and all accrued fees and other Obligations hereunder to be, and the same shall thereupon be, immediately due and payable with all additional interest from time to time accrued thereon and without presentation, demand, or protest or other requirements of any kind other than as provided in the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, valuation and appraisement, diligence, presentment, and notice of intent to demand or accelerate), all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default other than any Event of Default described in Sections 6.1(f) or (g), the Administrative Agent shall not exercise any of its rights and remedies hereunder nor declare the unpaid principal amount of and any and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and any and all accrued fees and other Obligations hereunder to be immediately due and payable, until such time as the Administrative Agent shall have delivered a notice to the Banks specifying the Event of Default which has occurred and whether Administrative Agent recommends the acceleration of the Obligations due hereunder or the exercise of other remedies hereunder.  The Banks shall notify the Administrative Agent if they approve or disapprove of the acceleration of the Obligations due hereunder or the exercise of such other remedy recommended by Administrative Agent within five (5) Domestic Business Days after receipt of such notice.  If any Bank shall not respond within such five (5) Domestic Business Day period, then such Bank shall be deemed to have accepted Administrative Agent’s recommendation for acceleration of the Obligations due hereunder or the exercise of such other remedy.  Regardless of the Administrative Agent’s recommendation, if the Required Banks shall approve the acceleration of the Obligations due hereunder or the exercise of such other remedy, then Administrative Agent shall declare the Commitment(s) of each Bank to make Loans to be terminated whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate and declare the unpaid principal amount of and any and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and any and all accrued fees and other Obligations hereunder to be immediately due and payable or exercise such other remedy approved by the Required Banks.

exercises any remedy provided in any of the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall act as a collateral agent for the Banks.

Sectiion 6.3Notice of Default.

The Borrower shall also deposit amounts into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account in accordance with Section 9.8(c)(ii).  Interest shall accrue on the Letter of Credit Collateral Account at a rate equal to the rate on overnight funds.

(b)The Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Administrative Agent, as administrative agent for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Revolving Credit Banks a lien on and a security interest in, the following collateral (the “Letter of Credit Collateral”):

(i)the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, all cash deposited therein and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time representing or evidencing the Letter of Credit Collateral Account;

82

(ii)all notes, certificates of deposit and other instruments from time to time hereafter delivered to or otherwise possessed by the Administrative Agent for or on behalf of the Borrower in substitution for or in respect of any or all of the then existing Letter of Credit Collateral;

(iv)to the extent not covered by the above clauses, all proceeds of any or all of the foregoing Letter of Credit Collateral.

The lien and security interest granted hereby secures the payment of all obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing hereunder and under any other Loan Document.
(c)The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Credit Banks to apply, from time to time after funds are deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, funds then held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts, in such order as the Administrative Agent may elect, as shall have become due and payable by the Borrower to the Revolving Credit Banks in respect of the Letters of Credit.

(d)Neither the Borrower nor any Person claiming or acting on behalf of or through the Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, except as provided in Section 6.4(h) hereof.

(e)The Borrower agrees that it will not (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any interest in the Letter of Credit Collateral or (ii) create or permit to exist any lien, security interest or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Letter of Credit Collateral, except for the security interest created by this Section 6.4.

(f)If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(i)The Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, without notice to the Borrower except as required by law and at any time from time to time, charge, set off or otherwise apply all or any part of the Letter of Credit Collateral first, (x) amounts previously drawn on any Letter of Credit that have not been reimbursed by the Borrower and (y) any Letter of Credit Usage described in clause (ii) of the definition thereof that are then due and payable and second, with the consent of the Required Revolving Credit Banks, any other unpaid Obligations then due and payable against the Letter of Credit Collateral Account or any part thereof, in such order as the Administrative Agent shall elect.  The rights of the Administrative Agent under this Section 6.4 are in addition to any rights and remedies which any Revolving Credit Bank may have.

(ii)The Administrative Agent may also exercise, in its sole discretion, in respect of the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a 

83

secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York at that time.

(g)The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Letter of Credit Collateral if the Letter of Credit Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property, it being understood that, assuming such treatment, the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility or liability with respect thereto.

(h)At such time as (x) all Events of Default have been cured or waived in writing and (y) all cash collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Fronting Banks’ exposure to any Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Usage pursuant to Section 9.8(c)(ii) shall no longer be required to be held as cash collateral pursuant to this Section 6.4 as a result of (x) the elimination or reduction of the applicable exposure to a Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Usage (including by the termination of the Defaulting Lender status of such Bank) or (y) the Administrative Agent’s determination that there exists excess cash collateral, all amounts (or excess portion thereof) remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be promptly returned to the Borrower; provided that the Borrower and each applicable Fronting Bank may agree to continue to hold cash collateral to support future anticipated exposure to a Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Usage.  Absent such cure or written waiver, any surplus of the funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and remaining after payment in full of all of the Obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under any other Loan Document after the Maturity Date and cancellation or return of all Letters of Credit shall be paid to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

Each Bank acknowledges that, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Borrower has no obligation to act or refrain from acting on instructions or demands of one or more Banks absent written instructions from Administrative Agent in accordance with its rights and authority hereunder.

Section 7.2Administrative Agent and Affiliates.  JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and 

84

generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder, and the term “Bank” and “Banks” shall include JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. in its individual capacity.

Section 7.3Action by Administrative Agent.  (a)  The obligations of the Administrative Agent hereunder are only those expressly set forth herein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action with respect to any Default, except as expressly provided in Article VI.  The Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, the performance of any of its obligations thereunder, or by the use of the term “Administrative Agent”, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Bank or the Borrower.

(b)The Administrative Agent shall promptly forward, or make available by Intralinks or other internet access system, to each Bank tangible or electronic copies, or notify (in writing or electronically and, if electronically, the Administrative Agent will also transmit a fax indicating that the information in question is being transmitted electronically) each Bank as to the contents, of all notices, financial statements and other significant materials and communications received from the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and, in the event that the Borrower fails to pay when due the principal of or interest on any Loan, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Banks.  As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Banks, and such instructions shall be binding upon all the Banks; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law.  If the Borrower shall have made any payment of principal of and interest on the Loans or any other amount due hereunder in accordance with Article II hereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have distributed to each Bank its proper share of such payment on the date on which such payment shall be received (other than as a result of any shutdown of or disturbance in any payment system or any other event or circumstance beyond the reasonable control of the Administrative Agent), then the Administrative Agent shall pay such proper share to such Bank together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such payment shall have been received from the Borrower until the date such amount is paid by the Administrative Agent to such Bank.  If any Bank transfers funds to the Administrative Agent in anticipation of the making of a Loan that is subsequently not made, then the Administrative Agent agrees to repay such funds to such Bank upon the receipt of a notice from such Bank requesting the repayment of such funds, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date which is the day upon which Administrative Agent shall have received a notice from such bank requesting the repayment of such funds until the date such amount is paid by the Administrative Agent to such Bank.

Section 7.4Consultation with Experts.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

85

Section 7.5Liability of Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in this Agreement), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks or, where required by the terms of this Agreement, all of the Banks, or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default (other than a Default under Section 6.1(a) with respect to the payment of principal, interest, facility fees or Letter of Credit Fees) unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Bank.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement or any borrowing hereunder or the contents of any report or certificate delivered hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Borrower; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article III, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith; or (v) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith.  The Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be sent by electronic means) believed by it in good faith to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it in good faith to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.

Section 7.6Indemnification.  (a) Each Bank shall, ratably in accordance with its Aggregate Exposure Percentage, indemnify the Administrative Agent, their Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) that such indemnitees may suffer or incur as a result of, or in connection with, the Administrative Agent’s capacity as Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any 

86

action taken or omitted by such indemnitees in accordance with this Agreement, including any amounts that the Borrower fails to pay under Section 9.3(a).

(b)Each Revolving Credit Bank shall, ratably in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage, indemnify the Fronting Banks, the Swingline Lenders, their Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) that such indemnitees may suffer or incur as a result of, or in connection with, the Administrative Agent’s capacity as Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees in accordance with this Agreement, including any amounts that the Borrower fails to pay under Section 9.3(a).

Section 7.7Credit Decision.  Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that the extensions of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and letters of credit and not investments in a business enterprise or securities.  Each Bank further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any arranger of this credit facility or any other Bank and their respective Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Bank, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder.  Each Bank shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any arranger of this credit facility or any other Bank and their respective Related Parties and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a Bank or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder.

Section 7.8Successor Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower.  In addition, if the Administrative Agent at any time shall have been finally determined to have committed gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its performance of its duties as Administrative Agent hereunder or if the Commitment of the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as a Bank, inclusive of participations, shall be less than $10,000,000, then, upon notice from the Required Banks, the Administrative Agent shall resign.  Upon any such resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent with the consent of the Borrower (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, with the reasonable approval of the Borrower provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be outstanding, which 

87

shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000, total assets of at least $25,000,000,000 and a long-term senior unsecured indebtedness rating of BBB+ or better by S&P (if rated by S&P) and Baa1 by Moody’s (if rated by Moody’s).  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder first accruing or arising after the effective date of such retirement.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent.

If, at any time during the Availability Period, the Administrative Agent shall no longer have any Commitment or hold outstanding Loans under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall give notice of its offer to resign to the Banks and the Borrower.  Upon any such offer of resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent or to retain the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Borrower; provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
Section 7.9Administrative Agent’s Fee.  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account fees in the amounts and at the times previously agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

Section 7.10Copies of Notices.  The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Bank a copy of any notice sent to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent in connection with the performance of its duties as the Administrative Agent hereunder; and the Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Bank a copy of any notice sent to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower in connection with any Default or Event of Default hereunder.

Section 7.11Sub-Agents.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE VIII 
 
CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES
Section 8.1Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Euro-Dollar Borrowing:
 

88

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

(b)  the Administrative Agent is advised by the Majority Facility Banks for the applicable Facility that the Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate or the London Interbank Offered Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks (or Bank) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing under such Facility for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Banks that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Notice of Interest Rate Election that requests the conversion of any Borrowing under such Facility to, or continuation of any Borrowing under such Facility as, a Euro-Dollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Euro-Dollar Borrowing under such Facility, such Borrowing shall be made as an Base Rate Borrowing; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only Borrowings under a particular Facility, then the Borrowings under the other Facility shall be permitted.
Section 8.2Illegality.  If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any existing applicable law, rule or regulation, 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 or Money Market Loans, or,  with respect to Revolving Credit Banks, to participate in any Letter of Credit issued by a Fronting Bank, or, with respect to a Fronting Bank, to issue any Letter of Credit, and such Bank shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks and the Borrower, whereupon until such Bank notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Bank to make or convert Euro-Dollar Loans or Money Market Loans, or with respect to Revolving Credit Banks, to participate in any Letter of Credit issued by a Fronting Bank or, with respect to a Fronting Bank, to issue any Letter of Credit, shall be suspended.  Before giving any notice to the Administrative 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 Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding Euro-Dollar Loans or Money Market Loans (as the case may be) to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, the Borrower shall immediately prepay in full the then outstanding principal amount of each such Euro-Dollar Loan or Money Market Loan, together with accrued interest thereon.  Concurrently with prepaying each such Euro-Dollar Loan, the Borrower shall borrow a Base Rate Loan in an equal principal amount from such Bank (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related 

89

Euro-Dollar Loans or Money Market Loans of the other Banks), and such Bank shall make such a Base Rate Loan.

Section 8.3Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

(a)If, after (x) the date hereof, in the case of any Committed Loan or any obligation to make Committed Loans or (y) the date of the related Money Market Quote, in the case of any Money Market Loan, the adoption or taking effect of any applicable law, rule, treaty or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule, directive, decision, treaty or regulation, or any change in the interpretation, re-interpretation, application or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (“Change in Law”), or compliance by any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request, decision 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 (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (but excluding with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan any such requirement reflected in an applicable Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage)), special deposit, liquidity, insurance charge or assessment, or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement) 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 expenses (other than Taxes) affecting its Euro-Dollar Loans or Money Market LIBOR Loans, its Notes, or its obligation to make Euro-Dollar Loans or subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making, continuing, converting or maintaining any Euro-Dollar Loan, 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 Notes with respect thereto or to increase the cost to such Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of such amount or amounts, the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction.  For purposes hereof, all requests, rules, guidelines or directives in connection with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act shall be deemed to be a change after the date hereof or after the date of the related Money Market Quote, as applicable, regardless of the date enacted, implemented, adopted or issued and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States financial regulatory authorities or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III shall be deemed to be such a change regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented (each a “Regulatory Change”), provided, however, that if the applicable Bank shall have implemented changes prior to the Closing Date in response to any such requests, rules, guidelines or 

90

directives, then the same shall not be deemed to be a change after the date hereof or after the date of the related Money Market Quote, as applicable, with respect to such Bank.

(b)If any Bank shall have determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital or liquidity requirements, or any change in any such law, rule or regulation, 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 or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, including any Regulatory Change, 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 or liquidity requirements) by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of such amount or amounts, the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank (or its Parent) for such reduction.

(c)Each Bank will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative 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 (although failure or delay on the part of any Bank to provide such notice or to demand compensation pursuant to this Section, after receiving notice of increased cost or reduced rate of return, shall not constitute a waiver of such Bank’s right to demand such compensation unless such failure materially prejudices Borrower’s rights hereunder) and will designate a different Applicable 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.

Section 8.4Taxes.

(a)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 8.4) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

91

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

(c)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 8.4, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d)Indemnification by the Borrower.  Without duplication of Sections 8.4(a) or (b) above, the Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Administrative Agent shall reasonably cooperate, at its sole discretion and at no cost to the Administrative Agent or the Banks, with efforts by Borrower to recover any Taxes or Other Taxes which Borrower reasonably believes were incorrectly or illegally imposed.

(e)Indemnification by the Banks. Each Bank shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Bank (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.6(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Bank by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Bank from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f)Status of Banks. (i) Any Recipient that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, the Recipient, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver 

92

such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Recipient is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 8.4(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Recipient’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Recipient to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Recipient.

(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A)    the Administrative Agent, any sub-agent and any Bank that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which the Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or such Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement, as applicable, (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Administrative Agent, sub-agent or Bank, as applicable is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B)    any Foreign Bank shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)in the case of a Foreign Bank claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or applicable successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or applicable successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2)executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3)in the case of a Foreign Bank claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-1 to the effect that such Foreign Bank is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the 

93

meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or applicable successor form); or

(4)to the extent a Foreign Bank is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or applicable successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2 or Exhibit I-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Bank is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Bank are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Bank may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C)    any Foreign Bank shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Bank becomes a Bank under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made;
(D)    if a payment made to a Recipient or any sub-agent under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient or sub-agent were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Recipient or sub-agent shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient or sub-agent has complied with such Recipient’s or sub-agent’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement; and
(E)    if the Administrative Agent or sub-agent is not a U.S. Person, the Administrative Agent and sub-agent (and any assignee or successor) will deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement (or, assignment or

Each Recipient or sub-agent agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 8.4 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 8.4), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 8.4 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h)Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 8.4 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(i)Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 8.4, the term “Bank” includes any Fronting Bank and any Swingline Lender and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(j)For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the effective date of this Agreement, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Banks hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Loans as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

Section 8.5Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Euro-Dollar Loans.  If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make, or convert outstanding Loans to, Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Sections 8.1 or 8.2 or (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.3 or 8.4 with respect to its Euro-Dollar Loans and the Borrower shall, by at least five (5) Euro-Dollar Business Days’ prior notice to such Bank through the Administrative 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:

(a)all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Bank as Euro-Dollar Loans shall be made instead as Base Rate Loans (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks), and

(b)after each of its Euro-Dollar Loans has been repaid, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such Euro-Dollar Loans shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans instead.

Section 8.6SPC Loans.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Bank (a “Granting Bank”) may grant to one special purpose funding vehicle (a “SPC”) sponsored by such Granting Bank, as identified as such in writing by such Granting Bank to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower from time to time (including, without limitation, by the execution of this Agreement on the date hereof by a Granting Bank and its SPC identified as such on the signature pages hereof), the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Bank would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof; provided, that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment to make any Loan by any SPC, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Bank shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof.  The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of such Granting Bank to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Bank.  Any SPC that makes a Loan shall (i) have in regard to such Loan all of the rights (exercisable, however, only through its Granting Bank acting as its agent) that such Granting Bank would have had if it had made such Loan directly, and (ii) comply with this Agreement in regard to such Loan on the same terms as any other Bank party hereto; provided that (A) the Granting Bank’s Commitment shall remain the Commitment of such Granting Bank, and (B) all monetary obligations of an SPC hereunder in respect of any Loan it provides shall remain the obligations of such Granting Bank to the extent at any time that such SPC elects not to or otherwise fails to perform or pay any such obligation.  Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any payment under this Agreement for which a Bank would otherwise be liable for so long as, and to the extent, its sponsoring Granting Bank makes such payment.  Notwithstanding any Loan that may be provided by an SPC hereunder, the Administrative Agent and Borrower shall be entitled to continue to communicate and deal solely and directly with the Granting Bank in accordance with this Agreement in respect of such Loan.  Each SPC that is a signatory hereto, and each SPC that subsequently is identified by its Granting Bank as having been granted such option, shall be deemed to have confirmed (and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may require a written acknowledgment of such confirmation signed by any SPC not a signatory hereto that is subsequently so identified by its Granting Bank) to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that (a) it has received a copy of the Agreement and each 

96

Loan Document, together with copies of the financial statements heretofore provided to the Banks under the terms of this Agreement and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement; (b) agrees that it will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, its Granting Bank or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Agreement and any other Loan Document; (c) appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and any other Loan Document as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; (d) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement and any other Loan Document are required to be performed by it as a Bank, subject to the terms of this Section 8.6; and (e) appoints its Granting Bank, or a specified branch or Affiliate thereof, as its agent and attorney in fact and grants to its Granting Bank an irrevocable power of attorney to receive payments made for the benefit of such SPC under this Agreement, to deliver and receive all communications and notices under this Agreement and other Loan Documents and to exercise on such SPC’s behalf all rights to vote and to grant and make approvals, waivers, consents of amendments to or under this Agreement and other Loan Documents.  Any document executed by such agent on such SPC’s behalf in connection with this Agreement or other Loan Documents shall be binding on such SPC.  In furtherance of the foregoing, all the Banks and the Administrative Agent each hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one (1) year and one (1) day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or similar proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof.  In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 9.6(c), any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower or Administrative Agent, and without the payment of any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to its Granting Bank or to any financial institutions consented to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and, subject to all of the provisions of this paragraph, such consents shall be deemed to have been granted with respect to any SPC signatory hereto on the date hereof) providing liquidity and/or credit facilities to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of loans, and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of liquidity and/or credit facilities to such SPC.  Nothing in this Section 8.6 that would affect the rights or obligations of an SPC may be amended without the written consent of any SPC that has any Loan outstanding at the time of such amendment.

Section 8.7Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Banks.  (a) If any Bank requests compensation under Section 8.3, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank pursuant to Section 8.4, then such Bank shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.3 or 8.4, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Bank to any unreimbursed cost or 

97

expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Bank.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)    If (w) any Bank is unable to make, maintain or fund its Euro-Dollar Loans or to participate in any Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 8.2 for a period of ten (10) consecutive days, or (x) any Bank requests compensation under Section 8.3, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Bank pursuant to Section 8.4, or (y) if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Lender, or (z) any Bank has refused to consent to any proposed amendment, modification, waiver, termination or consent with respect to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that, pursuant to Section 9.5, requires the consent of all Banks or of all Banks affected thereby and with respect to which Banks constituting the Required Banks have consented to such proposed amendment, modification, waiver, termination or consent, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Bank and the Administrative Agent, require such Bank to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.6), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (other than any outstanding Money Market Loans held by it) to an 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 received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Fronting Banks and the Swingline Lenders), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed (provided that no such consent shall be required for an assignment to any Bank so long as, after giving effect to such assignment, such Bank’s Revolving Commitment Percentage does not exceed 25%), (ii) such Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans (other than Money Market Loans) and participations in Unreimbursed Obligations and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 8.3 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 8.4, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Bank’s refusal to consent to a proposed amendment, modification, waiver, termination or consent, the assignee shall approve the proposed amendment, modification, waiver, termination or consent.  A Bank shall not be required to make any such assignment and 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.

In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower or the other Credit Parties, any Bank, any Fronting Bank or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, 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, any Credit Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through an Electronic System.  “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Credit Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent, any Bank or any Fronting Bank by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through an Electronic System.

Section 9.2No Waivers.  No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any 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 9.3Expenses; Indemnification.  (a)  The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of special counsel to the Administrative Agent, local counsel for the Administrative Agent, and travel, site visits, third party reports (including Appraisals), mortgage recording taxes, environmental and engineering expenses), in connection with the preparation and administration of this Agreement, the Loan Documents and the documents and instruments referred to therein, the syndication of the Loans, any waiver or consent hereunder or any amendment or modification hereof or any Default or alleged Default hereunder, (ii) the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of each Fronting Bank relating to Letters of Credit as from time to time in effect and (iii) if an Event of Default occurs, all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and each Bank, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent and each Bank, in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents and the instruments referred to therein and such Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom, including all such expenses incurred during any workout or restructuring; provided, however, that in no event shall the Borrower be required to pay for the attorneys’ fees and disbursements 

100

of more than one counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Banks unless there is a legal conflict of interest.

(b)The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Banks, and each Bank, their respective Affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents 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 and settlements and settlement costs, 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) and whether or not brought by the Borrower, the General Partner or any Affiliate of the Borrower, that may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Obligations) be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to or by reason of, (i) any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or the execution, delivery or performance of any Loan Document (including, without limitation, the Borrower’s actual or proposed use of proceeds of the Loans, whether or not in compliance with the provisions hereof), (ii) any violation by the Borrower or the Environmental Affiliates of any applicable Environmental Law, (iii) any Environmental Claim arising out of the management, use, control, ownership or operation of property or assets by the Borrower or any of the Environmental Affiliates, including, without limitation, all on-site and off-site activities involving Material of Environmental Concern, (iv) the breach of any environmental representation or warranty set forth herein, (v) the grant to the Administrative Agent and the Banks of any Lien in any property or assets of the Borrower or any stock or other equity interest in the Borrower, and (vi) the exercise by the Administrative Agent and the Banks of their rights and remedies (including, without limitation, foreclosure) under any agreements creating any such Lien (but excluding in each case, as to any Indemnitee, any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs or disbursements incurred solely by reason of (y) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding imposed or asserted against any Indemnitee by any bank regulatory agency or by any equity holder of such Indemnitee).  The Borrower’s obligations under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.  This Section 9.3(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

Section 9.4Sharing of Set-Offs.  In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Bank is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), other than deposits held for the benefit of third parties, and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Bank (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of such Bank wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of the Obligations of the Borrower then due and payable to such Bank under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, including, without 

101

limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Bank.  Each Bank agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to any Note held by it or Letter of Credit participated in by it, or, in the case of a Fronting Bank, Letter of Credit issued by it, which is greater than the proportion received by any other Bank or Letter of Credit issued or participated in by such other Bank, in respect of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to any Note held by such other Bank, the Bank receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Notes held by the other Banks or Letter of Credit issued or participated in by such other Bank, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Notes held by the Banks or Letter of Credit issued or participated in by such other Banks shall be shared by the Banks pro rata; provided that (x) nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Bank to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the Borrower other than its indebtedness under the Notes or the Letters of Credit, (y) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Bank as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or Commitments to any assignee or participant and (z) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to any Extension made in accordance with Section 2.19.  The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in a Note, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 9.5Amendments and Waivers.  Any provision of this Agreement (including any of the financial covenants given by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.8), the Notes, the Letters of Credit or other Loan Documents may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrower and the Required Banks, (and, if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Banks or the Swingline Lenders are affected thereby (including pursuant to Section 2.16, Section 2.18, Article VII or Section 9.8), by the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Banks or the Swingline Lenders, as applicable) (and, if the rights or duties of only a specific Facility are affected thereby or if such amendment or waiver adversely affects the rights of a specific Facility in a manner that is different than such amendment or waiver effects the other Facility, the Majority Facility Banks for such Facility); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall (a) increase or decrease the Commitment of any Bank (except for any reduction or termination pursuant to Sections 2.9, 2.11 or 6.2), unless signed by such Bank, (b) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any fees specified herein, unless signed by each Bank affected thereby, (c) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan, or the expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, or any fees hereunder or for any reduction or termination of any Commitment, unless signed by each Bank affected thereby (notwithstanding the foregoing, however, it is agreed that only the consent of the extending Banks shall be required for an Extension in accordance with Section 2.19), (d) release the Guaranty or otherwise release any other collateral, unless signed by each Bank affected thereby, (e) subordinate the Loans to any other Debt, unless signed by each Bank affected thereby, (f) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the 

102

Notes, or the number of Banks, which shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any action under this Section 9.5 or any other provision of this Agreement, unless signed by each Bank affected thereby, (g) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of (i) Majority Facility Banks with respect to any Facility, unless signed by all of the Banks under such Facility, (iii) Required Revolving  Credit Banks with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, unless signed by all of the Revolving Credit Banks or (iii) Required Banks unless signed by all of the Banks, (h) change Section 2.12(c) or Section 9.4 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, unless signed by each Bank affected thereby or (i) change this Section 9.5 unless signed by each Bank affected thereby.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Designating Lender on behalf of its Designated Lender affected thereby, (x) subject such Designated Lender to any additional obligations, (y) reduce the principal of, interest on, or other amounts due with respect to, the Designated Lender Note made payable to such Designated Lender, or (z) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, or other amounts due with respect to the Designated Lender Note made payable to the Designated Lender.

Section 9.6Successors and Assigns.  (a)  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of all Banks (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be void).

(b)Any Bank may at any time grant to one or more banks or other entities, other than the Borrower and its Affiliates (each a “Participant”) participating interests in any or all of its Commitments or any or all of its Loans.  In the event of any such grant by a Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such Bank shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Bank will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in clause (a), (b), (c) or (d) of Section 9.5 without the consent of the Participant.  The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits of Article VIII with respect to its participating interest (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 8.4(d)(iii) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 8.4(d)(iii) 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 paragraph (c) of this Section; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 8.7 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (c) of this Section.  An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (c) or (d) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (b).  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 

103

principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no 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 under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such 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 Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(c)Any Bank may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each an “Assignee”) all, or a proportionate part of all, of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, and such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit D attached hereto executed by such Assignee and such transferor Bank, with (and subject to) the prior written consent of (x) the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of (A) any Revolving Commitment to an assignee that is a Revolving Credit Bank (other than a Defaulting Lender) immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment, and (B) all or any portion of a Term Loan or a Term Loan Commitment to a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund, (y) provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided further, however, that no such consent by the Borrower shall be required in the case of an assignment to another Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund, and the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof and (z) in the case of an assignment of a Revolving Commitment, each Swingline Lender and each Fronting Bank, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Bank may assign or participate its interest to (x) the Borrower and its Affiliates, (y) a natural person or (z) a Defaulting Lender.  Except in the case of an assignment to a Revolving Credit Bank or an Affiliate of a Revolving Credit Bank or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Revolving Credit Bank's Revolving Commitments, the amount of the Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans of the assigning Revolving Credit Bank subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  Except in the case of an assignment to a Term Loan Bank or an Affiliate of a Term Loan Bank or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Term Loan Bank's Term Loan Commitments or if the Term Loan Commitment Period has ended, such Term Loan Bank’s Term Loans, the amount of the Term Loan Commitments or Term Loans of the assigning Term Loan Bank subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and 

104

Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  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 (provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations in respect of only one Facility).  The assignee, if it shall not be a Bank, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.  Upon execution and delivery (and acceptance and recording in the Register by the Administrative Agent) of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Bank of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Bank and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a Bank party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Bank with a Commitment as set forth in such instrument of assumption, and the transferor Bank shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required.  Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (c), the transferor Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required, a new Note or Notes are issued to the Assignee.  In connection with any such assignment (except for an assignment by a Bank to its Affiliate), the transferor Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $3,500.  The Assignee shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes in accordance with Section 8.4.

(d)Any Bank that holds Revolving Commitments (each, a “Designating Lender”) may at any time designate one Designated Lender to fund Money Market Loans on behalf of such Designating Lender subject to the terms of this Section 9.6(d) and the provisions in Section 9.6(b) and (c) shall not apply to such designation.  No Bank may designate more than one (1) Designated Lender.  The parties to each such designation shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance a Designation Agreement.  Upon such receipt of an appropriately completed Designation Agreement executed by a Designating Lender and a designee representing that it is a Designated Lender, the Administrative Agent will accept such Designation Agreement and will give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower, whereupon, (i) the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Designating Bank a Designated Lender Note payable to the Designated Lender, (ii) from and after the effective date specified in the Designation Agreement, the Designated Lender shall become a party to this Agreement with a right (subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(b)) to make Money Market Loans on behalf of its Designating Lender pursuant to Section 2.3 after the Borrower has accepted a Money Market Loan (or portion thereof) of the Designating Lender, and (iii) the Designated Lender shall not be required to make payments with respect to any obligations in this Agreement except to the extent of excess cash flow of such Designated Lender which is not otherwise required to repay obligations of such Designated Lender which are then due and payable; provided, however, that regardless of such designation and assumption by the Designated Lender, the Designating Lender shall be and remain obligated to the Borrower and the Banks for each and every of the obligations of the Designating Lender and its related Designated Lender with respect to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any indemnification obligations under Section 7.6 hereof and any sums otherwise payable to the Borrower by the Designated Lender.  Each Designating Lender shall serve as the administrative agent of the Designated Lender and shall on behalf of, and to the 

105

exclusion of, the Designated Lender: (i) receive any and all payments made for the benefit of the Designated Lender and (ii) give and receive all communications and notices and take all actions hereunder, including, without limitation, votes, approvals, waivers, consents and amendments under or relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Any such notice, communication, vote, approval, waiver, consent or amendment shall be signed by the Designating Lender as administrative agent for the Designated Lender and shall not be signed by the Designated Lender on its own behalf and shall be binding upon the Designated Lender to the same extent as if signed by the Designated Lender on its own behalf.  The Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Banks may rely thereon without any requirement that the Designated Lender sign or acknowledge the same.  No Designated Lender may assign or transfer all or any portion of its interest hereunder or under any other Loan Document, other than assignments to the Designating Lender which originally designated such Designated Lender or otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6(b) and (c).

(e)Any Bank may at any time assign or pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its Notes and the Letter(s) of Credit participated in by such Bank or, in the case of a Fronting Bank, issued by it, to secure obligations of such Bank, including any pledge to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Bank.  No such assignment shall release the transferor Bank from its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee or pledgee for such Bank as a party hereto.

(f)No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Bank’s rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.3 or 8.4 than such Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent or, with regard to Participations, to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable interest.  

(g)The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain 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 Administrative 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.

Section 9.7USA Patriot Act.  Each Bank hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Bank to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

Section 9.8Defaulting Lenders.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Lender:

106

(a)fees shall cease to accrue on the Commitment(s) of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.8;

(b)the Revolving Commitments, Term Loan Commitments and Term Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Banks or the Required Banks have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.5, except that the Defaulting Lender’s consent shall be required in connection with any increase in such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment(s) pursuant to Section 9.5(a), any amendment pursuant to Section 9.5(b) affecting its Loans or pursuant to Section 9.5(z)), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Banks or each affected Bank which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Banks shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

(c)if any Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit exist at the time a Revolving Credit Bank becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i)all or any part of such liability, if any, with respect to Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility plus such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of Swingline Loans and Letter of Credit Usage does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments (it being understood that under no circumstance shall any such Revolving Credit Bank at any time be liable for any amounts in excess of its Revolving Commitment) and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 3.2(d) and (e) are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time); and

(ii)if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within five (5) Domestic Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Swingline Loans and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Fronting Banks only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Letter of Credit Usage (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.4(a) for so long as such Letters of Credit are outstanding;

(iii)if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Letter of Credit Usage pursuant to this Section 9.8(c), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Letter of Credit Usage during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Letter of Credit Usage is cash collateralized;

107

(iv)if the Revolving Commitment Percentage of the non-Defaulting Lenders with respect to Letter of Credit Usage is reallocated pursuant to this Section 9.8(c), then the fees payable to the Banks pursuant to this Agreement shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitment Percentages; or

(v)if any Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of Letter of Credit Usage is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Fronting Bank or any other Bank hereunder, all Facility Fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such Revolving Commitment Percentage of Letter of Credit Usage) and Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 2.8 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Letter of Credit Usage shall be payable to the applicable Fronting Bank until and to the extent that such Revolving Commitment Percentage of Letter of Credit Usage is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(d)if such Bank is a Revolving Credit Bank, so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lenders shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Fronting Banks shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the then Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Letter of Credit Usage will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 9.8(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 9.8(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to a Parent of any Bank shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) any Swingline Lender or any Fronting Bank has a good faith belief that any Revolving Credit Bank has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Revolving Credit Bank commits to extend credit, no Swingline Lender shall be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Fronting Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless a Swingline Lender or a Fronting Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Revolving Credit Bank, satisfactory to such Swingline Lender or such Fronting Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Bank hereunder.
In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, and if the Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Credit Bank, the Fronting Banks and the Swingline Lenders each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Bank to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Revolving Commitment Percentages of the Banks with respect to Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Revolving Credit Bank’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Revolving Credit Bank shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Banks (other than Money Market Loans and Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in 

108

order for such Revolving Credit Bank to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage.

Section 9.16No Bankruptcy Proceedings.  Each of the Borrower, the Banks, and the Administrative Agent hereby agrees that it will not institute against any Designated Lender or join any other Person in instituting against any Designated Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, until the later to occur of (i) one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Designated Lender and (ii) the Maturity Date.

Section 9.17Optional Increase in Commitments.  (a) At any time prior to the Maturity Date, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, the Borrower may, elect to request (A) an increase to the existing Revolving Commitments (any 

110

such increase, the “New Revolving Commitments”) and/or (B) the establishment of one or more new term loan commitments (the “New Term Loan Commitments”, together with the New Revolving Commitments, the “Incremental Commitments”), by up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $600,000,000 for all Incremental Commitments (so that after giving effect to all Incremental Commitments, the sum of the Revolving Commitments plus the principal amount of Term Loans made hereunder and pursuant to Section 2.1 plus the unused amount of Term Loan Commitments does not exceed $1,500,000,000).  Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that such Incremental Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than ten (10) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent.  Such Incremental Commitments shall be made either by designating a Qualified Institution not theretofore a Bank to become a Bank (such designation to be effective only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) and/or by agreeing with an existing Bank or Banks that such Bank’s Commitment shall be increased, it being understood that no such existing Bank or Banks shall have any obligation to so increase its Commitment).  Any arranger for the Incremental Commitments selected by the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts, with the assistance of the Borrower, to arrange a syndicate of Banks or other Persons that are Qualified Institutions willing to hold the requested Incremental Commitments; provided that (x) any Incremental Commitments on any Increased Amount Date shall be in the minimum aggregate amount of $25,000,000, (y) any Bank approached to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide an Incremental Commitment; provided that the Banks will first be afforded the opportunity to provide the Incremental Commitments on a pro rata basis, and if any Bank so approached fails to respond within such ten (10) Business Day period after its receipt of such request, such Bank shall be deemed to have declined to provide such Incremental Commitments, and (z) any Bank or other Person that is a Qualified Institution (each, a “New Revolving Credit Bank” or “New Term Loan Bank,” as applicable) to whom any portion of such Incremental Commitment shall be allocated shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and, in the case of a New Revolving Commitment, the Fronting Banks and the Swingline Lenders (each of which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), unless such New Revolving Credit Bank is an existing Revolving Credit Bank (other than a Defaulting Lender) with a Revolving Commitment at such time or such New Term Loan Bank is an existing Term Loan Bank or an Affiliate of an existing Bank.  Upon execution and delivery by the Borrower and such Bank or other financial institution of an instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, such existing Bank shall have a Commitment as therein set forth or such Qualified Institution shall become a Bank with a Commitment as therein set forth and all the rights and obligations of a Bank with such a Commitment hereunder; provided that:

(i)the Borrower shall provide prompt notice of such increase to the Administrative Agent, who shall promptly notify the Banks; and

(ii)the amount of such Incremental Increase, together with all other Incremental Increases in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 9.17 since the date of this Agreement, does not cause the sum of (x) the Term Loan Amount and (y) the Revolving Loan Amount to exceed $1,500,000,000.

111

(b)Upon any Incremental Commitments pursuant to this Section 9.17, within five (5) Business Days (in the case of any Base Rate Loans then outstanding) or at the end of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto (in the case of any Euro-Dollar Loans then outstanding), as applicable, each Bank’s Commitment Percentage shall be recalculated to reflect such Incremental Commitments and the outstanding principal balance of the Loans shall be reallocated among the Banks such that the outstanding principal amount of Loans owed to each Bank shall be equal to such Bank’s Commitment Percentage (as recalculated) thereof.  All payments, repayments and other disbursements of funds by the Administrative Agent to Banks shall thereupon and, at all times thereafter be made in accordance with each Bank’s recalculated Commitment Percentage.  For purposes hereof, “Qualified Institution” means a Bank, or one or more banks, finance companies, insurance or other financial institutions which (i) (A) has (or, in the case of a bank which is a subsidiary, such bank’s parent has) a rating of its senior debt obligations of not less than Baa-1 by Moody’s or a comparable rating by a rating agency acceptable to the Administrative Agent and (B) has total assets in excess of Ten Billion Dollars ($10,000,000,000), or (ii) is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

(c)The terms and provisions of any New Revolving Commitments shall be identical to the existing Revolving Commitments.  The terms and provisions of any New Term Loan Commitments and any New Term Loans shall (a) provide that the maturity date of any New Term Loan that is a separate tranche shall be no earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date and the weighted average life to maturity of such New Term Loans shall not be shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the existing Term Loans, (b) share ratably in any prepayments of the existing Term Loan Facility, unless the Borrower and the New Term Loan Banks in respect of such New Term Loans elect lesser payments and (c) otherwise be identical to the existing Term Loans or reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and each New Term Loan Bank.

(d)On any Increased Amount Date on which New Revolving Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each of the Revolving Credit Banks shall assign to each of the New Revolving Credit Banks, and each of the New Revolving Credit Banks shall purchase from each of the Revolving Credit Banks, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Revolving Loans outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans will be held by existing Revolving Credit Banks and New Revolving Credit Banks ratably in accordance with their Revolving Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such New Revolving Commitments to the Revolving Commitments, (ii) each New Revolving Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Commitment and each Loan made thereunder shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan and (iii) each New Revolving Credit Bank shall become a Revolving Credit Bank with respect to its New Revolving Commitment and all matters relating thereto.

(e)On any Increased Amount Date on which any New Term Loan Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each New Term Loan Bank shall make a Term Loan to the Borrower (a “New Term Loan”) in an amount equal to its New Term Loan Commitment, and (ii) each New Term Loan Bank shall 

112

become a Bank hereunder with respect to the New Term Loan Commitment and the New Term Loans made pursuant thereto.

(f)The Administrative Agent shall notify the Banks promptly upon receipt of the Borrower’s notice of each Increased Amount Date and in respect thereof (i) the New Revolving Commitments and the New Revolving Credit Banks or the New Term Loan Commitments and the New Term Loan Banks, as applicable, and (ii) in the case of each notice to any Revolving Credit Bank, the respective interests in such Revolving Credit Bank’s Revolving Loans, in each case subject to the assignments contemplated by this paragraph.

(g)The effectiveness of any Incremental Commitments and the availability of any Borrowings under any such Incremental Commitments shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent: (x) after giving pro forma effect to such Incremental Commitments and Borrowings and the use of proceeds thereof, (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) as of the last day of the most recent calendar quarter for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.1, the Borrower would have been in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 5.8; (y) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower in any Loan Document shall be true and correct in all material respects on the effective date of such Incremental Commitments except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date); and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (i) if not previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, copies certified by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of all corporate or other necessary action taken by the Borrower to authorize such Incremental Commitments; and (ii) a customary opinion of counsel to the Borrower (including in-house opinions in lieu of opinions of outside counsel, which may be in substantially the same form as delivered on the Closing Date), and addressed to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Banks, and (iii) if requested by any Bank, new Notes executed by the Borrower, payable to any new Bank, and replacement Notes executed by the Borrower, payable to any existing Bank.  

(h)The Incremental Commitments shall be evidenced pursuant to one or more Additional Credit Extension Amendments executed and delivered by the Borrower, the New Revolving Credit Banks or New Term Loan Banks, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent, and each of which shall be recorded in the Register.  Each Additional Credit Extension Amendment may, without the consent of any other Banks, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 9.17.

Section 9.18Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

113

Section 9.19Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the "Charges"), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the "Maximum Rate") which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Bank holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Bank in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Bank.

Section 9.20Transitional Arrangements.

(a)Existing Credit Agreement Superseded.  This Agreement shall supersede the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety, except as provided in this Section 9.20.  On the Closing Date, (i) the Revolving Loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement shall become Revolving Loans hereunder, (ii) the rights and obligations of the parties under the Existing Credit Agreement and the “Notes” defined therein shall be subsumed within and be governed by this Agreement and the Notes; provided however, that for purposes of this clause (ii) any of the “Obligations” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be Obligations hereunder, (iii) this Agreement shall not in any way release or impair the rights, duties or Obligations created pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or affect the relative priorities thereof, in each case to the extent in force and effect thereunder as of the Closing Date, except as modified hereby or by documents, instruments and agreements executed and delivered in connection herewith, and all of such rights, duties and Obligations are assumed, ratified and affirmed by the Borrower; (iv) the Obligations incurred under the Existing Credit Agreement shall, to the extent outstanding on the Closing Date, continue outstanding under this Agreement and shall not be deemed to be paid, released, discharged or otherwise satisfied by the execution of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall not constitute a refinancing, substitution or novation of such Obligations or any of the other rights, duties and obligations of the parties hereunder; and (v) the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of Lenders or the Administrative Agent under the Existing Credit Agreement, nor constitute a waiver of any covenant, agreement or obligation under the Existing Credit Agreement, except to the extent that any such covenant, agreement or obligation is no longer set forth herein or is modified hereby.  The Lenders’ interests in such Obligations, and participations in such Letters of Credit, shall be reallocated on the Closing Date in accordance with each Lender's applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages.

(b)Interest and Fees under Existing Credit Agreement.  All interest and all commitment, facility and other fees and expenses owing or accruing under or in respect of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be calculated as of the Closing Date (prorated in the case of any fractional periods), and shall be paid on the Closing Date in accordance with the method specified in the Existing Credit Agreement as if such agreements were still in effect.

114

Section 9.21Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Banks and the Banks agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and such Persons shall either agree or have a legal obligation to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority (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, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the prior written 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 Administrative Agent, any Fronting Bank or any Bank on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.  For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Fronting Bank or any Bank on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 9.22No Fiduciary Duty, etc.  The Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that no Credit Party will have any obligations except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and each Credit Party is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Borrower with respect to the Loan Documents and the transaction contemplated therein and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Borrower or any other person.  The Borrower agrees that it will not assert any claim against any Credit Party based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such Credit Party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.  Additionally, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no Credit Party is advising the Borrower as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting, regulatory or any other matters in any jurisdiction.  The Borrower shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Credit Parties shall have no responsibility or liability to the Borrower with respect thereto.

The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party is a full service securities or banking firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services.  In the ordinary course of business, any Credit Party may provide investment banking and other financial services to, and/or acquire, hold or sell, for its own accounts and the 

115

accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of, the Borrower and other companies with which the Borrower may have commercial or other relationships.  With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by any Credit Party or any of its customers, all rights in respect of such securities and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion, unless such other discretion is specified in this Agreement.
In addition, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party and its affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which the Borrower may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise.  No Credit Party will use confidential information obtained from the Borrower by virtue of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or its other relationships with the Borrower in connection with the performance by such Credit Party of services for other companies, and no Credit Party will furnish any such information to other companies.  The Borrower also acknowledge that no Credit Party has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or to furnish to the Borrower, confidential information obtained from other companies.
Section 9.23Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

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

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

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

(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY
SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY (this “Guaranty”), made as of July 24, 2017, between KILROY REALTY CORPORATION, a Maryland corporation, having an address at 12200 West Olympic Boulevard, Suite 200, Los Angeles, California 90064 (“Guarantor”), and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., having an office at 383 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10179, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for the banks (the “Banks”) listed on the signature pages of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented or restated, the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, among Kilroy Realty, L.P. (“Borrower”), the Banks, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as Administrative Agent, Bank, Joint Lead Arranger and Joint Bookrunner, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as Joint Lead Arranger and Joint Bookrunner, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC., as Joint Lead Arranger and Joint Bookrunner, PNC Capital Markets LLC, as Joint Lead Arranger, U.S. Bank National Association, as Joint Lead Arranger, and Bank of America, N.A., as Syndication Agent.
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and the lenders party thereto are parties to an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June 23, 2014, as amended to date (the “Existing Credit Agreement”);
WHEREAS, in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement, Guarantor entered into that certain Amended and Restated Guaranty dated as of June 23, 2014 (the “Existing Guaranty”); 
WHEREAS, in connection with the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement, the parties wish to amend and restate the Existing Guaranty in its entirety; and
WHEREAS, capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree to amend and restate the Existing Guaranty in its entirety as follows:
1.Guarantor, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees the full and punctual payment and for performance when due, whether at stated maturity or otherwise, of all Obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, for principal and/or interest as well as any and all other amounts due thereunder, including, without limitation, all indemnity obligations of Borrower thereunder, and any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Banks in enforcing its rights under this Guaranty (all of the foregoing obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

2.It is agreed that the Guaranteed Obligations of Guarantor hereunder are primary and this Guaranty shall be enforceable against Guarantor and its successors and assigns without the necessity for any suit or proceeding of any kind or nature whatsoever brought by the 

Administrative Agent against Borrower or its respective successors or assigns or any other party or against any security for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations and without the necessity of any notice of non-payment or non-observance or of any notice of acceptance of this Guaranty or of any notice or demand to which Guarantor might otherwise be entitled (including, without limitation, diligence, presentment, notice of maturity, extension of time, change in nature or form of the Guaranteed Obligations, acceptance of further security, release of further security, imposition or agreement arrived at as to the amount of or the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations, notice of adverse change in Borrower’s financial condition and any other fact which might materially increase the risk to Guarantor), all of which Guarantor hereby expressly waives; and Guarantor hereby expressly agrees that the validity of this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be terminated, affected, diminished, modified or impaired by reason of the assertion of or the failure to assert by the Administrative Agent against Borrower or its respective successors or assigns, any of the rights or remedies reserved to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of the Loan Documents. Guarantor agrees that any notice or directive given at any time to the Administrative Agent which is inconsistent with the waiver in the immediately preceding sentence shall be void and may be ignored by the Administrative Agent, and, in addition, may not be pleaded or introduced as evidence in any litigation relating to this Guaranty for the reason that such pleading or introduction would be at variance with the written terms of this Guaranty, unless the Administrative Agent has specifically agreed otherwise in a writing, signed by a duly authorized officer of the Administrative Agent.  Guarantor specifically acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of this transaction and that, but for this Guaranty and such waivers, the Administrative Agent would decline to execute the Loan Documents.

3.Guarantor waives, and covenants and agrees that it will not at any time insist upon, plead or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any and all appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, marshaling-of-assets or redemption laws, or right of homestead or other exemption, whether now or at any time hereafter in force, which may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance by Guarantor of its obligations under, or the enforcement by the Administrative Agent of, this Guaranty.  Guarantor further covenants and agrees not to set up or claim any defense, counterclaim, offset, set-off or other objection of any kind to any action, suit or proceeding in law, equity or otherwise, or to any demand or claim that may be instituted or made by the Administrative Agent other than the defense of the actual timely payment and performance by Borrower of the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed a waiver of Guarantor’s right to assert any compulsory counterclaim, if such counterclaim is compelled under local law or rule of procedure, nor shall the foregoing be deemed a waiver of Guarantor’s right to assert any claim which would constitute a defense, setoff, counterclaim or crossclaim of any nature whatsoever against Administrative Agent or any Bank in any separate action or proceeding.  Guarantor represents, warrants and agrees that, as of the date hereof, its obligations under this Guaranty are not subject to any counterclaims, offsets or defenses against the Administrative Agent or any of the Banks of any kind.

4.The provisions of this Guaranty are for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Banks and their successors and permitted assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair as between Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the Banks the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents.

2

5.This Guaranty shall be a continuing, unconditional and absolute guaranty and the liability of Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be terminated, affected, modified, impaired or diminished by reason of the happening, from time to time, of any of the following, although without notice or the further consent of Guarantor:

(a)any assignment, amendment, modification or waiver of or change in any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Loan Documents or the invalidity or unenforceability of any of the foregoing; or

(b)any extension of time that may be granted by the Administrative Agent and/or any Bank to Borrower, any guarantor, or their respective successors or assigns, heirs, executors, administrators or personal representatives; or

(c)any action which the Administrative Agent may take or fail to take under or in respect of any of the Loan Documents or by reason of any waiver or, or failure to enforce any of the rights, remedies, powers or privileges available to the Administrative Agent under this Guaranty or available to the Administrative Agent at law, equity or otherwise, or any action on the part of the Administrative Agent granting indulgence or extension in any form whatsoever; or

(d)any sale, exchange, release, or other disposition of any property pledged, mortgaged or conveyed, or any property in which the Administrative Agent and/or the Banks have been granted a lien or security interest to secure any indebtedness of Borrower to the Administrative Agent and/or the Banks; or

(e)any release of any person or entity who may be liable in any manner for the payment and collection of any amounts owed by Borrower to the Administrative Agent and/or the Banks; or

(f)the application of any sums by whomsoever paid or however realized to any amounts owing by Borrower to the Administrative Agent and/or the Banks under the Loan Documents in such manner as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion; or

(g)Borrower’s or any guarantor’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale of all or substantially all of their respective assets and liabilities, appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, sequestrator or conservator for all or any part of Borrower’s or Guarantor’s assets, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment, or the commencement of other similar proceedings affecting Borrower or any guarantor or any of the assets of any of them, including, without limitation, (i) the release or discharge of Borrower or any guarantor from the payment and performance of their respective obligations under any of the Loan Documents by operation of law, or (ii) the impairment, limitation or modification of the liability of Borrower or any guarantor in bankruptcy, or of any remedy for the enforcement of the Guaranteed Obligations under any of the Loan Documents, or Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty, resulting from the operation of 

3

any present or future provisions of the Bankruptcy Code or other present or future federal, state or applicable statute or law or from the decision in any court; or

(h)any improper disposition by Borrower of the proceeds of the Loans, it being acknowledged by Guarantor that the Administrative Agent or any Bank shall be entitled to honor any request made by Borrower for a disbursement of such proceeds and that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Bank shall have any obligation to see to the proper disposition by Borrower of such proceeds.

6.Guarantor agrees that if at any time all or any part of any payment at any time received by the Administrative Agent and/or any Bank from Borrower or Guarantor under or with respect to this Guaranty is or must be rescinded or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Bank for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or Guarantor), then Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall, to the extent of the payment rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding such previous receipt by such party, and Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or reinstated, as the case may be, as to such payment, as though such previous payment had never been made.

7.Until this Guaranty is terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, Guarantor (i) shall have no right of subrogation against Borrower or any entity comprising same by reason of any payments or acts of performance by Guarantor in compliance with the obligations of Guarantor hereunder; (ii) waives any right to enforce any remedy which Guarantor now or hereafter shall have against Borrower or any entity comprising same by reason of any one or more payment or acts of performance in compliance with the obligations of Guarantor hereunder and (iii) subordinates any liability or indebtedness of Borrower or any entity comprising same now or hereafter held by Guarantor or any affiliate of Guarantor to the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents, provided, however, until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower or any entity comprising same shall not be prohibited from making payments to Guarantor or any affiliate thereof on such subordinated liability or indebtedness in accordance with the terms thereof.  The foregoing, however, shall not be deemed in any way to limit any rights that Guarantor may have pursuant to the Agreement of Limited Partnership of Borrower or which it may have at law or in equity with respect to any other partners of Borrower.

8.Guarantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Banks (with the knowledge that the Administrative Agent and the Banks are relying upon the same) as of the date hereof, as follows:

(a)as of the date hereof, Guarantor is the sole general partner of Borrower;

(b)based upon such relationship, Guarantor has determined that it is in its best interests to enter into this Guaranty;

(c)in the good faith judgment of Guarantor, the benefits to be derived by Guarantor from Borrower’s access to funds made possible by the Loan Documents are at least equal to the obligations undertaken pursuant to this Guaranty;

4

(f)the execution and delivery of and the performance by Guarantor of its obligations under this Guaranty have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Guarantor and do not (i) violate any provision of any law, rule, regulation (including, without limitation, Regulation U, T or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States), order, writ, judgment, decree, determination or award presently in effect having applicability to Guarantor or the organizational documents of Guarantor the consequences of which violation is likely to materially and adversely impair the ability of Guarantor to perform its obligations under this Guaranty or (ii) violate or conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under any material indenture, agreement or other instrument to which Guarantor is a party, or by which Guarantor or any of its property is bound the consequences of which violation, conflict, breach or default is reasonably likely to materially and adversely impair the ability of Guarantor to perform its obligations under this Guaranty;

(g)this Guaranty has been duly executed by Guarantor and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms except as enforceability may be limited by applicable insolvency, bankruptcy or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or general principles of equity, whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;

(h)no authorization, consent, approval, license or formal exemption from, nor any filing, declaration or registration with, any Federal, state, local or foreign court, governmental agency or regulatory authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty, except those which have already been obtained; and

(i)Guarantor is not an “investment company” as that term is defined in, nor is it otherwise subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

9.Guarantor and the Administrative Agent each acknowledge and agree that this Guaranty is a guarantee of payment and performance and not of collection and enforcement 

5

in respect of any obligations which may accrue to the Administrative Agent and/or the Banks from Borrower under the provisions of any Loan Document.

10.Subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, and in conjunction therewith, the Administrative Agent or any Bank may assign any or all of its rights under this Guaranty.  In the event of any such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall give Guarantor prompt written notice of same.  If the Administrative Agent and/or any Bank elects to sell all the Loans or participations in the Loans and the Loan Documents, including this Guaranty, the Administrative Agent or any Bank may forward to each purchaser and prospective purchaser all documents and information relating to this Guaranty or to Guarantor, whether furnished by Borrower or Guarantor or otherwise, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement.

11.Guarantor agrees, upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, from time to time, any modification or amendment hereto or any additional instruments or documents reasonably considered necessary by the Administrative Agent or its counsel to cause this Guaranty to be, become or remain valid and effective in accordance with its terms, provided, that any such modification, amendment, additional instrument or document shall not increase Guarantor’s obligation’s or diminish its rights hereunder and shall be reasonably satisfactory as to form to Guarantor and to Guarantor’s counsel.

(b)Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Guaranty and any action for enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof may be brought in the courts of the State of New York or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and, by execution and delivery of this Guaranty, the Guarantor hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and appellate courts from any thereof.  The Guarantor irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Guarantor at its address for notices set forth herein.  The Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Guaranty brought in the courts referred to above and hereby further irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Guarantor in any other jurisdiction.

(c)GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY.  IT IS HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGED BY GUARANTOR THAT THE WAIVER OF A JURY TRIAL IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO ACCEPT THIS GUARANTY AND THAT THE LOANS MADE BY THE BANKS ARE MADE IN RELIANCE UPON SUCH WAIVER. GUARANTOR FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT SUCH WAIVER HAS BEEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE, FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL

COUNSEL.  IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS GUARANTY MAY BE FILED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN COURT AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A NON-JURY TRIAL.

(d)Guarantor does hereby further covenant and agree to and with the Administrative Agent that Guarantor may be joined in any action against Borrower in connection with the Loan Documents and that recovery may be had against Guarantor in such action or in any independent action against Guarantor (with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations), without the Administrative Agent first pursuing or exhausting any remedy or claim against Borrower or its successors or assigns.  Guarantor also agrees that, in an action brought with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations in any jurisdiction, it shall be conclusively bound by the judgment in any such action by the Administrative Agent (wherever brought) against Borrower or its successors or assigns, as if Guarantor were a party to such action, even though Guarantor was not joined as parties in such action.

(e)Guarantor agrees to pay all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) which may be incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Banks in connection with the enforcement of their rights under this Guaranty, whether or not suit is initiated.

21.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Guaranty shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the full performance and payment of the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder, subject to the provisions of Section 6 hereof.  Upon termination of this Guaranty in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty, the Administrative Agent promptly shall deliver to Guarantor such documents as Guarantor or Guarantor’s counsel reasonably may request in order to evidence such termination.

22.All of the Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies under each of the Loan Documents or under this Guaranty are intended to be distinct, separate and cumulative and no such right or remedy therein or herein mentioned is intended to be in exclusion of or a waiver of any other right or remedy available to the Administrative Agent.

23.This Guaranty supersedes and replaces the Existing Guaranty in its entirety.
