(e)    The failure of any Lender to make the Revolving Credit Advance to be made by it as part of any Revolving Credit Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Revolving Credit Advance on the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Revolving Credit Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Revolving Credit Borrowing.

(London time) at least four Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, if the Borrower shall instead specify in the Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing that the Advances comprising such Competitive Bid Borrowing shall be LIBO Rate Advances denominated in  any Foreign Currency.  The Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, shall in turn promptly notify each Lender of each request for a Competitive Bid Borrowing received by it from the Borrower by sending such Lender a copy of the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing.  If, with respect to any Foreign Currency specified in any Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing, the LIBO Rate for deposits in such Foreign Currency is unavailable, such Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing shall specify Fixed Rate Advances as the interest rate basis for such Competitive Bid Borrowing. 
(ii)    Each Lender may, if, in its sole discretion, it elects to do so, irrevocably offer to make one or more Competitive Bid Advances to the Borrower as part of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing at a rate or rates of interest (including default rates not to exceed 1% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Competitive Bid Advance) specified by such Lender in its sole discretion, by notifying the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be (which shall give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower), (A) before 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing consisting of Fixed Rate Advances denominated in Dollars, (B) before 10:00 A.M.

If any Lender shall elect not to make such an offer, such Lender shall so notify the Agent before 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) or the Sub-Agent before 

20

12:00 noon (London time) on the date on which notice of such election is to be given to the Agent or to the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, by the other Lenders, and such Lender shall not be obligated to, and shall not, make any Competitive Bid Advance as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing; provided that the failure by any Lender to give such notice shall not cause such Lender to be obligated to make any Competitive Bid Advance as part of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing.
(iii)    The Borrower shall, in turn, (A) before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing consisting of Fixed Rate Advances denominated in Dollars, (B) before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) three Business Days before the date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing consisting of LIBO Rate Advances denominated in Dollars, (C) before 3:00 P.M.

(London time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing consisting of LIBO Rate Advances denominated in any Foreign Currency, either:
(x)    cancel such Competitive Bid Borrowing by giving the Agent notice to that effect, or
(y)    accept one or more of the offers made by any Lender or Lenders pursuant to subsection (a)(ii) of this Section 2.03, in its sole discretion, by giving notice to the Agent or to the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, of the amount of each Competitive Bid Advance (which amount shall be equal to or greater than the minimum amount, and equal to or less than the maximum amount, notified to the Borrower by the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, on behalf of such Lender for such Competitive Bid Advance pursuant to subsection (a)(ii) of this Section 2.03) to be made by each Lender as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, and reject any remaining offers made by Lenders pursuant to subsection (a)(ii) of this Section 2.03, by giving the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, notice to that effect.  The Borrower shall accept the offers made by any Lender or Lenders to make Competitive Bid Advances in order of the lowest to the highest rates of interest offered by such Lenders; provided, however, that if the Borrower has a reasonable basis to believe that acceptance of the offer of any such Lender has a reasonable likelihood of subjecting the Borrower to additional costs pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.11, 2.12 or 2.14, the Borrower may reject the offer of such Lender and accept the offer of the Lender offering the next lowest rate of interest.  Subject to the next preceding sentence, if two or more Lenders have offered the same interest rate, the amount to be borrowed at such interest rate will be allocated among such Lenders in proportion to the amount that each such Lender offered at such interest rate.
(iv)    If the Borrower notifies the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, that such Competitive Bid Borrowing is cancelled pursuant to subsection (a)(iii)(A)(x) of this Section 2.03, the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders and such Competitive Bid Borrowing shall not be made.

21

(v)    If the Borrower accepts one or more of the offers made by any Lender or Lenders pursuant to subsection (a)(iii)(A)(y) of this Section 2.03, the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, shall in turn promptly notify (A) each Lender that has made an offer as described in subsection (a)(ii) of this Section 2.03, of the date and aggregate amount of such Competitive Bid Borrowing and whether or not any offer or offers made by such Lender pursuant to subsection (a)(ii) of this Section 2.03 have been accepted by the Borrower, (B) each Lender that is to make a Competitive Bid Advance as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, of the amount of each Competitive Bid Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, and (C) each Lender that is to make a Competitive Bid Advance as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, upon receipt, that the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, has received forms of documents appearing to fulfill the applicable conditions set forth in Article III.  Each Lender that is to make a Competitive Bid Advance as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing shall, before 12:00 noon (New York City time), in the case of Competitive Bid Advances to be denominated in Dollars or 11:00 A.M. (London time), in the case of Competitive Bid Advances to be denominated in any Foreign Currency, on the date of such Competitive Bid Borrowing specified in the notice received from the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to clause (A) of the next preceding sentence or any later time when such Lender shall have received notice from the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be pursuant to clause (C) of the next preceding sentence, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent (x) in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing denominated in Dollars, at its address referred to in Section 8.02, in same day funds, such Lender’s portion of such Competitive Bid Borrowing in Dollars and (y) in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing in a Foreign Currency, at the Payment Office for such Foreign Currency as shall have been notified by the Agent to the Lenders prior thereto, in same day funds, such Lender’s portion of such Competitive Bid Borrowing in such Foreign Currency.  Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III and after receipt by the Agent of such funds, the Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower at the location specified by the Borrower in its Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing.  Promptly after each Competitive Bid Borrowing the Agent will notify each Lender of the amount of the Competitive Bid Borrowing, the consequent Competitive Bid Reduction and the dates upon which such Competitive Bid Reduction commenced and is then scheduled to terminate.
(b)    Each Competitive Bid Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of $25,000,000 (or the Equivalent thereof in any Foreign Currency rounded up to the nearest 1,000,000 units of such Foreign Currency, determined as of the time of the applicable Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing) or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or the Equivalent thereof in any Foreign Currency rounded up to the nearest 100,000 units of such Foreign Currency, determined as of the time of the applicable Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing) in excess thereof and, following the making of each Competitive Bid Borrowing, the Borrower shall be in compliance with the limitation set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of subsection (a) of this Section 2.03.

The Borrower may prepay any principal amount of any Competitive Bid Advance, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.10 and 8.04(d), with the consent of the respective Lender of such Competitive Bid Advance.
(e)    The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Competitive Bid Advance from the date of such Competitive Bid Advance to the date the principal amount of such Competitive Bid Advance is repaid in full, at the rate of interest for such Competitive Bid Advance specified by the Lender making such Competitive Bid Advance in its notice with respect thereto delivered pursuant to subsection (a)(ii) of this Section 2.03, payable on the interest payment date or dates specified by the Borrower for such Competitive Bid Advance in the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing delivered pursuant to subsection (a)(i) of this Section 2.03, as provided in the Competitive Bid Note evidencing such Competitive Bid Advance.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay interest on the amount of unpaid principal of and interest on each Competitive Bid Advance owing to a Lender, payable in arrears on the date or dates interest is payable thereon, at a rate per annum equal to the default rate specified by the appropriate Lender in respect of such Competitive Bid Advance.
(f)    The indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from each Competitive Bid Advance made to the Borrower as part of a Competitive Bid Borrowing shall be evidenced by a separate Competitive Bid Note of the Borrower payable to the order of the Lender making such Competitive Bid Advance.  Upon repayment in full of each Competitive Bid Advance in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section 2.03 and the terms of the Competitive Bid Note evidencing such Competitive Bid Advance, the Lender holding such Competitive Bid Note shall cancel such Note and return such Note to the Borrower.
SECTION 2.04.    Fees.  (a)  Unused Commitment Fee.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender (other than the Designated Bidders and other than the Defaulting Lenders) an unused commitment fee on the amount equal to (i) such Lender’s Commitment minus (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Advances made by such Lender, from the Effective Date in the case of each Initial Lender and from the effective date specified in the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender in the case of each other Lender until the Termination Date at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Fee Percentage, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing June 30, 2013 (which, in the case of the payment due June 30, 2013, shall be determined for the period from the Effective Date through June 30, 2013), and on the Termination Date.
(b)    Agent’s Fees.  The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for its own account such fees as may from time to time be agreed between the Borrower and the Agent.

23

SECTION 2.05.    Termination or Reduction of the Commitments.  (a)  Ratable Reduction.  The Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Agent, to terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the unused portions of the respective Commitments of the Lenders, provided that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $25,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and provided  further that the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the aggregate principal amount of the Competitive Bid Advances denominated in Dollars then outstanding plus the Equivalent in Dollars (determined as of the date of the notice of prepayment) of the aggregate principal amount of the Competitive Bid Advances denominated in Foreign Currencies then outstanding.
(b)    Non-Ratable Reduction.  The Borrower shall have the right, at any time, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to a Defaulting Lender (with a copy to the Agent), to terminate in whole such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment.  Such termination shall be effective with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s unused Commitment on the date set forth in such notice, provided, however, that such date shall be no earlier than three Business Days after receipt of such notice.

The aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders once reduced pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) may not be reinstated; provided further, however, that if pursuant to this Section 2.05(b), the Borrower shall pay to a Defaulting Lender any principal of, or interest accrued on, the Revolving Credit Advances owing to such Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower shall either (x) confirm to the Agent that the conditions set forth in Section 3.02(a) and (b) are met on and as of such date of payment or (y) pay or cause to be paid a ratable payment of principal and interest to all Lenders who are not Defaulting Lenders.

25

(c)    If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders and such Advances will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, (i) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in Dollars, Convert into Base Rate Advances and (ii) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in a Committed Currency, be continued with an Interest Period of one month.
(d)    On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Eurocurrency Rate Advances comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than the Revolving Credit Borrowing Minimum, such Advances shall automatically (i) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in Dollars, Convert into Base Rate Advances and (ii) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in a Committed Currency, be exchanged for an Equivalent amount of Dollars and Convert into Base Rate Advances.

(f)    If Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page or Reuters EURIBOR01 Page is unavailable and fewer than two Reference Banks furnish timely information to the Agent for determining the Eurocurrency Rate or LIBO Rate for any Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances, as the case may be, after the Agent has requested such information,
(i)    the Agent shall forthwith notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the interest rate cannot be determined for such Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances, as the case may be,
(ii)    with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Advances, each such Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, (A) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in Dollars, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (B) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in any Committed Currency, be prepaid by the Borrower or be automatically exchanged for an Equivalent amount of Dollars and be Converted into a Base Rate Advance (or if such Advance is then a Base Rate Advance, will continue as a Base Rate Advance), and
(iii)    the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances, or to Convert Revolving Credit Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances, shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
SECTION 2.09.    Optional Conversion of Revolving Credit Advances.  The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Agent not later than 11:00 A.M.

The Borrower may, upon at least two Business Days’ notice in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Advances and notice on the same Business Day in the case of Base Rate Advances to the Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given the Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal amount of such Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (a) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than the Revolving Credit Prepay Minimum or a Revolving Credit Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof and (b) in the event of any such prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.04(d).
(b)    Mandatory.

The Agent shall give prompt notice of any prepayment required under this Section 2.10(b) to the Borrower and the Lenders, and shall provide prompt notice to the Borrower of any such notice of required prepayment received by it from any Lender.
(ii)    Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be made together with any interest accrued to the date of such prepayment on the principal amounts prepaid and, in the case of any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, a LIBO Rate Advance, a Fixed Rate Advance or a Local Rate Advance on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period or at its maturity, any additional amounts which the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse to the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.04(d).  The Agent shall give prompt notice of any prepayment required under this Section 2.10(b) to the Borrower and the Lenders.

27

SECTION 2.11.    Increased Costs.  (a)  If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in the Eurocurrency Rate Reserve Percentage) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority including, without limitation, any agency of the European Union or similar monetary or multinational authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost as measured from the date hereof to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances, then the Borrower shall, within ten Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of demand by such Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by the certificate described in the immediately following sentence, with a copy of such demand and certificate having been delivered to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost.  A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower and the Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(b)        If any Lender (other than the Designated Bidders) determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) that is adopted, issued, implemented or takes effect after the date of this Agreement, or with any change occurring after the date of this Agreement in such law, regulation, guideline or request or in the administration, interpretation, implementation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, affects such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender's holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, and such compliance has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's capital or on the capital of such Lender's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Commitment of such Lender or the Advances made by such Lender under this Agreement to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender's holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, issuance, implementation, taking effect, or change (taking into consideration such Lender's policies and the policies of such Lender's holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender's holding company for any such reduction suffered.  Such payment will be made to the Agent for the account of such Lender within ten Business Days of the Borrower's receipt of a written demand therefor, accompanied by the certificate described in the immediately following sentence (with a copy of such demand and certificate having been delivered to the Agent).  A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto for all purposes, absent manifest error.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.11(b) shall apply to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy or liquidity issued in connection with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy or liquidity 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, regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented.
SECTION 2.12.    Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation by any governmental authority charged with such interpretation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurocurrency Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances in Dollars or any Foreign Currency or to fund or maintain Eurocurrency Rate 

28

Advances in Dollars or any Committed Currency or LIBO Rate Advances in Dollars or any Foreign Currency hereunder, (a) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance or LIBO Rate Advance, as the case may be, will automatically, upon such demand (i) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance or LIBO Rate Advance is denominated in Dollars, be Converted into a Base Rate Advance or an Advance that bears interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.07(a)(i), as the case may be, and (ii) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance or LIBO Rate Advance is denominated in any Foreign Currency, be exchanged into an Equivalent amount of Dollars and be Converted into a Base Rate Advance or an Advance that bears interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.07(a)(i), as the case may be, and (b) the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances or to Convert Revolving Credit Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
SECTION 2.13.    Payments and Computations.  (a)  The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder (except with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances denominated in a Foreign Currency) not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due, without setoff or counterclaim, in Dollars to the Agent at the applicable Agent’s Account in same day funds.  The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances denominated in a Foreign Currency not later than 11:00 A.M. (at the Payment Office for such Foreign Currency) on the day when due, without setoff or counterclaim, in such Foreign Currency to the Agent, by deposit of such funds to the applicable Agent’s Account in same day funds.  The Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or facility fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.03, 2.11, 2.14 or 8.04(d)) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 8.07(d), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.
(b)    The Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent, if and to the extent payment owed to any Lender is not made when due hereunder or under any Note held by such Lender, to charge from time to time against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with the Agent any amount so due.
(c)    All computations of interest based on JPMorgan's prime rate shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, all computations of interest based on the Eurocurrency Rate, the Federal Funds Rate  or One Month LIBOR (as defined in the definition of “Base Rate”) and of facility fees shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days and computations in respect of Competitive Bid Advances shall be made by the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, as specified in the applicable Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing (or, in each case of Advances denominated in Foreign Currencies where market practice differs, in accordance with market practice), in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or facility fees are payable.  Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

29

(d)    Whenever any payment hereunder or under any Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or facility fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.
(e)    Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender.  If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Agent, at (i) the Federal Funds Rate in the case of Advances denominated in Dollars or (ii) the cost of funds incurred by the Agent in respect of such amount in the case of Advances denominated in Foreign Currencies.
(f)    To the extent that the Agent receives funds for application to the amounts owing by the Borrower under or in respect of this Agreement or any Note in currencies other than the currency or currencies required to enable the Agent to distribute funds to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.13, the Agent shall be entitled to convert or exchange such funds into Dollars or into a Foreign Currency or from Dollars to a Foreign Currency or from a Foreign Currency to Dollars, as the case may be, to the extent necessary to enable the Agent to distribute such funds in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.13; provided that the Borrower and each of the Lenders hereby agree that the Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by the Borrower or such Lender as a result of any conversion or exchange of currencies affected pursuant to this Section 2.13(f) or as a result of the failure of the Agent to effect any such conversion or exchange; and provided further that the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agent and each Lender, and hold the Agent and each Lender harmless, for any and all losses, costs and expenses incurred by the Agent or any Lender for any conversion or exchange of currencies (or the failure to convert or exchange any currencies) in accordance with this Section 2.13(f).
SECTION 2.14.    Taxes.  (a)  Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder or under any Notes shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.13, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender and the Agent, (i) taxes imposed on its net income, as well as any branch profit taxes imposed by the United States of America or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which such Lender is located, franchise taxes measured by income imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on its net income, and franchise taxes measured by income imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof and (ii) any United States withholding taxes imposed under FATCA (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or under any Notes being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”).  If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender or the Agent (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this 

30

Section 2.14) such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b)    In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Notes or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Notes hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).
(c)    The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.14) paid by such Lender or the Agent or any of its Affiliates (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.  This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender, the Agent or such Affiliate (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.
(d)    Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.  If no Taxes are payable in respect of any payment hereunder or under any Notes, the Borrower will furnish to the Agent, at such address, a certificate from each appropriate taxing authority, or an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Agent, in either case stating that such payment is exempt from or not subject to Taxes.
(e)    (i)  Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide each of the Agent and the Borrower with Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or (in the case of a Lender that has certified in writing to the Agent that it is not a “bank” as defined in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code) Form W-8 (and, if such Non-U.S. Lender delivers a Form W-8, a certificate representing that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) of the Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code)),as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States.  Each such Lender shall provide the Agent and the Borrower with a new form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8, as appropriate, if and at such time as the previously provided form becomes invalid.  If the form provided by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement or at any other time indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from “Taxes” as defined in Section 2.14(a).

31

(ii)  If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement or any Note would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (ii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(f)    For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form described in subsection (e) of this Section 2.14 (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided, or if such form otherwise is not required under the first sentence of subsection (e) of this Section 2.14), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 2.14 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as the Lender shall reasonably request to assist the Lender to recover such Taxes.
(g)    Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Agreement, in the event that a Lender that originally provided such form as may be required under subsection (e) of this Section 2.14 thereafter ceases to qualify for complete exemption from United States withholding tax, such Lender, with the prior written consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, may assign its interest under this Agreement to any assignee and such assignee shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Section 2.14 as the assignor provided that the rate of United States withholding tax applicable to such assignee shall not exceed the rate then applicable to the assignor.
(h)    Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.14 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Eurocurrency Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.
(i)    If any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, determines that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes for which payment has been made pursuant to this Section 2.14, which refund in the good faith judgment of such Lender or Agent, as the case may be (and without any obligation to disclose its tax records) is allocable to such payment made under this Section 2.14, the amount of such refund (together with any interest received thereon and reduced by reasonable costs incurred in obtaining such refund) promptly shall be paid to the Borrower to the extent payment has been made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.14, provided, however, if the jurisdiction which refunded such Taxes or Other Taxes subsequently asserts such Taxes or Other Taxes are due, then the Borrower shall indemnify such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 2.14(c).  Each Lender and Agent shall take such action, as the Borrower may reasonably request, in order to apply for and obtain any refund of such amounts the Borrower reasonably determines to be appropriate under the circumstances; provided that any such actions shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower.  Nothing in this Section 2.14(i) shall 

32

require any Lender to make available to the Borrower its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems in good faith to be confidential).
SECTION 2.15.    Sharing of Payments, Etc.  If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of the Revolving Credit Advances owing to it (other than pursuant to Section 2.11, 2.14 or 8.04(d)) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Revolving Credit Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lenders) such participations in the Revolving Credit Advances owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.  The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
SECTION 2.16.    Extensions of Termination Date and Final Maturity Date.  (a)  No earlier than 60 days and no later than 45 days prior to the Termination Date then in effect, the Borrower may, by written notice to the Agent, request that the Termination Date then in effect be extended for a period of 364 days.  Such request shall be irrevocable and binding upon the Borrower (subject to the provisions of subsection (b) to this Section 2.16).  The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such request.  If a Lender agrees, in its individual and sole discretion, to so extend its Commitment (an “Extending Lender”), it shall deliver to the Agent a written notice of its agreement to do so no earlier than 35 days and no later than 25 days prior to such Termination Date and the Agent shall notify the Borrower of such Extending Lender’s agreement to extend its Commitment no later than 20 days prior to such Termination Date.  The Commitment of any Lender that fails to accept or respond to the Borrower’s request for extension of such Termination Date (a “Declining Lender”) shall be terminated on such Termination Date (without regard to any extension by other Lenders) and on such Termination Date the Borrower shall pay in full the principal amount of all Advances owing to such Declining Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of such payment of principal and all other amounts payable to such Declining Lender under this Agreement.  The Agent shall promptly notify each Extending Lender of the aggregate Commitments of the Declining Lenders.  To the extent of any shortfall in the aggregate amount of extended Commitments, the Borrower shall have the right to (x) request that the Extending Lenders, or any of them, agree to increase their respective Commitments by an aggregate amount up to the aggregate amount of the Declining Lenders’ Commitments and (y) require any Declining Lender, to assign in full its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Extending Lenders and/or to any Eligible Assignees designated by the Borrower and acceptable to the Agent, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, that agree to accept all of such rights and obligations (each a “Replacement Lender”), provided that (i) such increase and/or such assignment is otherwise in compliance with Section 8.07, (ii) such Declining Lender receives payment in full of the principal amount of all Advances owing to such Declining Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of such payment of principal and all other amounts payable to such Declining Lender under this Agreement and (iii) any such increase shall be effective on the Termination Date in effect at the time the Borrower requests such extension and any such assignment shall be effective 

33

on the date specified by the Borrower and agreed to by the Replacement Lender and the Agent.  If, but only if, Extending Lenders and Replacement Lenders have agreed to provide Commitments in an aggregate amount greater than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments outstanding 30 days prior to the Termination Date in effect at the time the Borrower requests such extension, the Termination Date shall be extended by 364 days for such Extending Lenders and Replacement Lenders, subject, however, to the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section 2.16.
(b)    On the Termination Date in effect at any time, the Borrower may, by written notice to the Agent, request that the Final Maturity Date be a date occurring up to the first anniversary of such Termination Date.  Such request shall be irrevocable and binding upon the Borrower.  The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such request.  Subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.02 as of such Termination Date and the payment by the Borrower to the Agent, for the account of each Lender, such Lender’s pro rata share of an extension fee in an amount equal to 0.50% on the aggregate principal amount of the Advances then outstanding, the Final Maturity Date shall be, effective as of such Termination Date, such date as the Borrower shall request pursuant to this subsection (b) of this Section 2.16.  In the event that the Borrower shall request that the Final Maturity Date be a date occurring up to the first anniversary of such Termination Date, and the Final Maturity Date shall be so extended as provided in this subsection (b) of this Section 2.16, the right of the Borrower to request an extension of the Termination Date pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 2.16 shall automatically terminate and any extension of the Termination Date in effect at the time such request is made which would otherwise occur as provided in subsection (a) of this Section 2.16 shall automatically be cancelled.  The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of any such extension of the Final Maturity Date and any such cancellation of an extension of the Termination Date.
SECTION 2.17.    Substitution of Lender.  If the obligation of any Lender to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or Competitive Bid Advances has been suspended pursuant to Section 2.12, any Lender has demanded compensation or the Borrower is otherwise required to pay additional amounts under Section 2.11 or 2.14, such Lender is a Defaulting Lender or such Lender is or becomes insolvent, or if such Lender has declined to approve a waiver or amendment to this Agreement that is otherwise approved by the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall have the right to seek a substitute lender or lenders who qualify as Eligible Assignees to assume, in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.07, the Commitment of such Lender and to purchase the Revolving Credit Advances or Competitive Bid Advances made by such Lender (without recourse to or warranty by such Lender).
SECTION 2.18.    Evidence of Debt.  (a)  Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Revolving Credit Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder in respect of Revolving Credit Advances.  The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Agent) to the effect that a Revolving Credit Note is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Revolving Credit Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving Credit Note payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount up to the Commitment of such Lender.
(b)    The Register maintained by the Agent pursuant to Section 8.07(g) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be 

34

recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.
(c)    Entries made in good faith by the Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.
SECTION 2.19.    Defaulting Lenders.  (a)  Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) to the extent permitted by applicable law, until such time as the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero, any prepayment of the Revolving Credit Advances shall, if the Borrower so directs at the time of making such prepayment, be applied to the Revolving Credit Advances of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Revolving Credit Advances, outstanding; (b) such Defaulting Lender’s unused Commitment shall be excluded for purposes of calculating the unused commitment fee payable to Lenders pursuant to Section 2.04(a) in respect of any day during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender; and (c) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Advances as at any date of determination shall be calculated as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Advances of such Defaulting Lender for purposes of determining the aggregate amount of the total Commitments available to be drawn by the Borrower.  No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.19, performance by the Borrower or any Lender of its obligations hereunder shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of any failure by a Defaulting Lender to fund or the operation of this Section 2.19.  The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.19 are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrower, the Agent or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Defaulted Advance. 
(b)    Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower and the Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Revolving Credit Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause all outstanding Revolving Credit Advances to be held pro rata by the Lenders (including such Defaulting Lender) in accordance with the Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE VII     
 
THE AGENT
SECTION 7.01.    Authorization and Authority.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and under its Note, if any, and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.06, the provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.  It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any Note (or any other similar term) with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.  Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.  
SECTION 7.02.    Rights as a Lender.  The Person serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include the Person serving as the Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
SECTION 7.03.    Duties of Agent; Exculpatory Provisions.  (a)  The Agent’s duties hereunder and under the Notes are solely ministerial and administrative in nature and the Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent:
(i)    shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(ii)    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 Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein); provided that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any debtor relief law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any debtor relief law; and
(iii)    shall not, except as expressly set forth herein, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

46

(b)    The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 8.01 or 6.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or the event or events that give or may give rise to any Default other than a Default described in Section 6.01(a) unless and until the Borrower or any Lender shall have given notice to the Agent describing such Default and such event or events.  
(c)    The Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or other information made or supplied in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.
(d)    Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Agent or any of its Related Parties to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any Person on behalf of any Lender and each Lender confirms to the Agent that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Agent or any of its Related Parties.  
SECTION 7.04.    Reliance by Agent.  The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Advance that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is complied with to the satisfaction of such Lender unless an officer of the Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Advance, and in the case of a Borrowing, such Lender shall not have made available to the Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing.  The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.  
SECTION 7.05.    Delegation of Duties.  The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any Note by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent with reasonable care.  The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  Each such sub-agent and the Related Parties of the Agent and each such sub-agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article VII and Section 8.04 (as though such sub-agents were the “Agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.  

47

SECTION 7.06.    Resignation of Agent.  (a)  The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent with the approval of the Borrower so long as no Event of Default exists (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or a State thereof, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000,000 and having an office, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office, in New York, New York (or such other location in the United States as the Borrower may agree).  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, and with the approval of the Borrower so long as no Event of Default exists (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
(b)    If the Person serving as Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (e) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Agent and, with the approval of the Borrower so long as no Event of Default exists (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.
(c)    With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Notes (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders under the Agreement, the retiring or removed Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Agent), and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the Notes.  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After the retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 8.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Agent, its sub‐agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Agent was acting as Agent.  
SECTION 7.07.    Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders.   Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their 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.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties 

48

and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any Note or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
SECTION 7.08.    No Other Duties, etc.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Persons acting as bookrunners, arrangers, syndication agent or co-documentation agent listed on the cover page hereof or in the recital or parties hereto shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Agent or as a Lender hereunder.

Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient).  Notices delivered through electronic communications, to the extent provided in paragraph (b) below, shall be effective as provided in said paragraph (b).
(b)    Electronic Communications.  Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e‐mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender has notified the Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication.  The Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.
Unless the Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient.
(c)    Change of Address, etc.  Any party hereto may change its address (including its e-mail address) or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.
(d)    Platform.
(i)    The Borrower agrees that the Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined below) available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).  Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a “Platform Notice”) specifying that any Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such information, documents or other materials to such Lender for purposes of this Agreement; provided that if requested by any Lender the Agent shall deliver a copy of the Communications to such Lender by e-mail or telecopier and if delivered after normal business hours, shall be deemed delivered on the next Business Day.  Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Agent in writing of such Lender’s e-mail or telecopier address to which a Platform Notice may be sent by electronic transmission (including by electronic communication) on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter to 

50

ensure that the Agent has on record an effective e-mail or telecopier address for such Lender) and (ii) that any Platform Notice may be sent to such e-mail or telecopier address.
(ii)    The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.”  The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications.  No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform.  In no event shall the Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender 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 or the Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform, except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Agent Party.  “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material that the Borrower provides to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the Agent or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform.
SECTION 8.03.    No Waiver; Remedies.  No failure on the part of any Lender or the Agent to exercise, and no delay 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 of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
SECTION 8.04.    Costs and Expenses.  (a)  The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, modification and amendment of this Agreement, any Notes and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, (i) all syndication (including printing, distribution and bank meetings) expenses and (ii) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Agent with respect thereto.  The Borrower further agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent and the Lenders, if any (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and expenses), in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement, any Notes and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Agent and each Lender in connection with the enforcement of rights under this Section 8.04(a).
(b)    The Borrower agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, each Arranger, each Lender, each of their Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses (other than loss of profits), damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (excluding any taxes and including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnified Party in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not such Indemnified Party shall be designated a party thereto), imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Indemnified Party in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Notes, any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Commitments, the use of proceeds, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, the Borrower shall have no obligation to an Indemnified 

51

Party hereunder with respect to Indemnified Matters directly caused by or directly resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Party, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 8.04(b) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, its directors, equityholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.  The Borrower also agrees not to assert any claim for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages against the Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, arising out of or otherwise relating to any Notes, this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances.
(c)    Promptly after receipt by any Indemnified Party of written notice of any Indemnified Matter in respect of which indemnity may be sought by it under this Section 8.04, such Indemnified Party shall notify the Borrower thereof; provided that failure to give any such notice hereunder shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower under this Section 8.04.  Thereafter, such Indemnified Party and the Borrower shall consult, to the extent appropriate, with a view to minimizing the cost to the Borrower of its obligations hereunder.  In case any such Indemnified Party receives written notice of any Indemnified Matter in respect of which indemnity may be sought by it hereunder and it notifies the Borrower thereof, the Borrower shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof, and to the extent that the Borrower may elect by notice delivered to such Indemnified Party promptly after receiving aforesaid notice from such Indemnified Party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory at all times to such Indemnified Party and at the Borrower’s expense; provided, that if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the Borrower to represent such Indemnified Party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest or (ii) the parties against whom any Indemnified Matter arises include both such Indemnified Party and the Borrower and such Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it or other Indemnified Parties which are different from or additional to those available to the Borrower and may conflict therewith, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such Indemnified Matter on behalf of such Indemnified Party at the Borrower’s expense.  Upon receipt of notice from the Borrower to such Indemnified Party of the Borrower’s election so to assume the defense of such Indemnified Matter, and approval of counsel by such Indemnified Party, the Borrower shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) such Indemnified Party shall have employed counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence, (ii) the Borrower shall not have employed within a reasonable time and continued to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party to represent such Indemnified Party, or (iii) the Borrower shall have approved the employment of counsel for such Indemnified Party at the Borrower’s expense.  The Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim, action or proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The Borrower will not settle any claim, action or proceeding affecting any Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Borrower under this Agreement, whether or not such Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action or proceeding, without such Indemnified Party’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless such settlement (x) does not require any performance by or adverse admission of such Indemnified Party, (y) does not adversely affect its business and (z) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action or proceeding.

52

(d)    If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurocurrency Rate Advance, LIBO Rate Advance or Local Rate Advance is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.05(b), 2.08(c) or (d), 2.10 or 2.12, acceleration of the maturity of the Advances pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other reason, or by an Eligible Assignee to a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance upon an assignment of rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.07 as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.07(a), the Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender within five Business Days of such payment (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion, including, without limitation, any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such Advance.  If the amount of the Committed Currency purchased by any Lender in the case of a Conversion or exchange of Advances in the case of Section 2.08 or 2.12 exceeds the sum required to satisfy such Lender’s liability in respect of such Advances, such Lender agrees to remit to the Borrower such excess.
(e)    Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in Sections 2.11, 2.14 and 8.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under any Notes and termination of this Agreement.
(f)    Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such Lender’s ratable share (determined as of the time the event giving rise to such indemnification occurred) of any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements and expenses, joint or several, of any kind or nature (including the fees (in the case of counsel, reasonable attorney’s fees), charges and disbursements of any advisor or counsel for such Person that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent) in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Notes or any action taken or omitted by the Agent hereunder or under the Notes; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements or expenses to the extent resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent for its ratable share (determined as of the time the event giving rise to such reimbursement occurred) of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section 8.04(a), to the extent that the Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower.
SECTION 8.05.    Right of Setoff.  Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (b) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Agent to declare the Advances due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, but excluding any accounts designated as collateral accounts securing other Debt) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and any Note held by such Lender, whether or not such Lender shall have 

53

made any demand under this Agreement or such Note and although such obligations may be unmatured.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.  The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section 8.05 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) that such Lender and its Affiliates may have.
SECTION 8.06.    Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall become effective (other than Sections 2.01 and 2.03, which shall only become effective upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.03) when it shall have been executed by the Borrower, the Agent and when the Agent shall have been notified by each Initial Lender that such Initial Lender has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of each Lender.
SECTION 8.07.    Assignments, Designations and Participations.  (a)  Each Lender (other than a Designated Bidder) may, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be required so long as an Event of Default is continuing), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and shall, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and if demanded by the Borrower (pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.17) upon at least five Business Days’ notice to such Lender and the Agent, assign to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Revolving Credit Advances owing to it and any Revolving Credit Note or Notes held by it); provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within ten Business Days after having received notice thereof, and provided, further, however, that:
(i)    each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement (other than any right to make Competitive Bid Advances, Competitive Bid Advances owing to it or Competitive Bid Notes),
(ii)    except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof,
(iii)    each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee,
(iv)    each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 8.07(a) shall be arranged by the Borrower at the Borrower’s expense, shall be to an Eligible Assignee acceptable to the Agent (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld) and shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or other such assignments that together cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement,

54

(v)    no Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 8.07(a) unless and until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from either the Borrower or one or more Eligible Assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances owing to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement, 
(vi)    the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Revolving Credit Note subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500,
(vii)    the assignee shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire,
(viii)    if such assignment shall be made as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 8.07(a) to an assignee that, immediately prior to such assignment, was neither a Lender nor an Affiliate of a Lender, an administrative fee of $3,500 shall have been paid by the Borrower to the Agent upon its demand, 
(ix)    notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, a Lender may assign to any of its Affiliates all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Revolving Credit Advances owing to it and any Revolving Credit Note or Notes held by it) upon notice to the Borrower and the Agent, with or without the consent of the Borrower or the Agent (but without releasing the obligations of the assigning Lender hereunder except with the written consent of the Borrower), so long as such assignment is otherwise in compliance with this Agreement, and
(x)    notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, a Lender may assign to any assignee all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Revolving Credit Advances owing to it and any Revolving Credit Note or Notes held by it) upon notice to the Agent, but without the consent of the Borrower, so long as any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (B) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).
(b)    By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:

55

(i)    other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any Note or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any Note or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto;

(vii)    such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
(c)    Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with any Revolving Credit Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto and has been consented to by the Borrower if such consent is required, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.
(d)    Each Lender (other than the Designated Bidders) may designate one or more banks or other entities to have a right to make Competitive Bid Advances as a Lender pursuant to Section 2.03; provided, however, that (i) no such Lender shall be entitled to make more than five such designations, (ii) each such Lender making one or more of such designations shall retain the right to make Competitive Bid Advances as a Lender pursuant to Section 2.03, (iii) each such designation shall be to a Designated Bidder and (iv) the parties to each such designation shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, a Designation Agreement.

(e)    By executing and delivering a Designation Agreement, the Lender making the designation thereunder and its designee thereunder confirm and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:
(i)    such Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any Note or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto;

57

Designated Bidders), the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat only the Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.

59

may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any Note in the courts of any jurisdiction.

Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
SECTION 8.12.    Judgment.  (a)  If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase Dollars with such other currency at JPMorgan’s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.    
(b)    If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in a Foreign Currency into Dollars, the parties agree to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase such Foreign Currency with Dollars at JPMorgan’s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M.

(c)    The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any sum due from it in any currency (the “Primary Currency”) to any Lender or the Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any other currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be), of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the applicable Primary Currency with such other currency; if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased is less than such sum due to such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased exceeds such sum due to any Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to the Borrower such excess.
SECTION 8.13.    Substitution of Currency.  If a change in any Foreign Currency occurs pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation of any governmental, monetary or multi-national authority, this Agreement (including, without limitation, the definitions of Eurocurrency Rate and LIBO Rate) will be amended to the extent determined by the Agent (acting reasonably and in consultation with the Borrower) to be necessary to reflect the change in currency and to put the Lenders and the Borrower in the same position, so far as possible, that they would have been in if no change in such Foreign Currency had occurred.
SECTION 8.14.    Patriot Act Notice.  Each Lender and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes 

60

the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.  The Borrower shall provide, to the extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Agent or any Lenders in order to assist the Agent and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act.

In connection with all aspects of the financing contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (a) (i) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, (ii) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (iii) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the financing contemplated hereby; (b) (i) each of the Agent, each Arranger and each Lender is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any other Person and (ii) none of the Agent, any Arranger or any Lender has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the financing contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein; and (c) the Agent, each Arranger, each Lender and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Agent, any Arranger or any Lender has any obligation, by reason of its participation in the financing contemplated hereby, to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates.
SECTION 8.16.    Waiver of Jury Trial.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Note or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory).  Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other Person has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Person would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement and any Notes by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 8.16.

To the Lenders that are parties to the 364-Day Credit Agreement and 5-Year Credit Agreement as defined below, and to the Agent
for such Lenders as defined below
Re:    United Parcel Service, Inc.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 3.01(e)(iv) of that certain 364-Day Credit Agreement (the "364-Day Credit Agreement") and Section 3.01(e)(iv) of the Amended and Restated Five-Year Credit Agreement (the "5-Year Credit Agreement," and together with the 364-Day Credit Agreement, the "Credit Agreements"), each dated as of March 29, 2013, among United Parcel Service, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"), the banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders listed on the signature pages to the respective Credit Agreements (collectively, the "Lenders"), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the "Agent") for the Lenders, with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners. Terms defined in the Credit Agreements are used herein as therein defined.
We have acted as special New York counsel for the Borrower in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the Credit Agreements. In that connection, we have examined:
	
		
	(a)
	each of the Credit Agreements;

	(b)
	the corporate charter of the Borrower and all amendments thereto (its "Charter");

	(c)
	the by-laws of the Borrower (its "By-Laws"); and

	(d)
	the certificate of the Secretary of State of Delaware dated March 20, 2013, attesting to the continued corporate existence and good standing of the Borrower in such state.

We have also examined the certificates of the Assistant Treasurer and the Assistant Secretary of the Borrower, dated March 29, 2013 (the "Certificates") and the originals, or copies certified to our satisfaction, of the documents listed in the Certificates. In addition, we have examined the originals, or copies certified to our satisfaction, of such other corporate records of the Borrower, certificates of public officials and of officers of the Borrower, and such other agreements, instruments and other documents, as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below. In rendering the opinions set forth herein, we have relied on the accuracy and completeness of all factual matters set forth in such certificates, records, agreements, instruments and other documents, as well as the representations and warranties of the Borrower as to factual matters set forth in the Credit Agreements.

For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed that (i) all items submitted to us as originals are authentic and all signatures thereon are genuine, (ii) all items submitted to us as copies conform to the originals, and (iii) each such item has been duly executed and delivered by each party pursuant to due authorization therefor and constitutes such party's (other than the Borrower's) legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms. We have further assumed that (x) each party to each Credit Agreement (other than the Borrower) has complied with all banking and other laws and regulations that are applicable to such party in respect of such Credit Agreement and the transactions described therein, including without limitation, any requirement for such party to be authorized to transact business as a foreign entity in any jurisdiction in which enforcement of such Credit Agreement is sought by such party, and (y) to the extent applicable law requires that any Lender or the Agent act in accordance with applicable duties of good faith or fair dealing, in a commercially reasonable manner, or otherwise in compliance with applicable legal requirements in exercising its rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement to which it is a party, such Lender or the Agent will fully comply with such legal requirements, notwithstanding any provision of such Credit Agreement that purports to grant such Lender or the Agent the right to act or fail to act in a manner contrary to such legal requirements, or based on its sole judgment or in its sole discretion or provisions of similar import.
Our opinions expressed herein are limited to Applicable Laws, and we do not express any opinion herein concerning any other law. The term "Applicable Laws" means those laws, rules and regulations of the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and the laws of the United States of America which are actually known to us (based upon our review of those laws, rules and regulations which, in our experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Credit Agreements). Without limiting the foregoing, we express no opinion as to any matter arising under any applicable federal or state securities law, antitrust or trade law, environmental law, health or safety law, tax, labor, insurance, pension or employee benefit law, any law relating to licenses, permits, approvals or similar matters applicable to the properties, businesses or activities of the Borrower, any matter of local or municipal law adopted by any political subdivision of any state, or any other law that is applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreements or the parties thereto because of the nature or extent of their properties or business activities.
Based upon the foregoing and upon such investigation as we have deemed necessary, and subject to the assumptions, limitations, qualifications and exceptions stated herein, we are of the opinion that as of the date hereof:
1.Based solely on the certificate described in item (d) above, the Borrower is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.
2.The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of each of the Credit Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby are within the Borrower's corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and do not contravene (i) its Charter or its By-Laws or (ii) any Applicable Laws applicable to the Borrower (including, without limitation, Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) or (iii) any contractual or legal restriction contained in any document referred to in the Certificates or otherwise known to us. Each of the Credit Agreements has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Borrower.
3.No authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body in the State of New York or the United States of America is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of either of the Credit Agreements.

4.Each of the Credit Agreements is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms.
In addition, we confirm to you that, insofar as is known to us, except as otherwise described in the Credit Agreements or in the Borrower's reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q, or 8-K previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, there are no pending or overtly threatened actions or proceedings against the Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator which purport to affect the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of either of the Credit Agreements or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby or which are likely to have a materially adverse effect upon the financial condition or operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
The opinions set forth above are subject to the following limitations, qualifications and exceptions:
(a)No opinion is rendered as to matters not specifically referred to herein and you may not infer from anything stated herein or not stated herein any opinions with respect thereto.
(b)Our opinion in paragraph 4 above is qualified to the extent that the enforceability of the Credit Agreements may be limited by the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally (including, without limitation, matters of contract rejection, fraudulent conveyances and obligations, turn-over, preference, equitable subordination, automatic stay, and substantive consolidation under federal bankruptcy laws, as well as state laws regarding fraudulent transfers, obligations, and conveyances, and state receivership laws).
(c)Our opinion in paragraph 4 above is subject to the effect of general principles of equity, whether applied by a court of law or equity (including, without limitation, principles governing the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, principles affording traditional equitable defenses such as waiver, laches and estoppel, and legal standards requiring reasonableness or materiality of breach for exercise of remedies or providing for defenses based on impracticability or impossibility of performance or on obstruction or failure to perform or otherwise act in accordance with an agreement by a party thereto other than the Borrower).
(d)Our opinion in paragraph 4 above, insofar as it concerns the enforceability of the choice of New York law and the choice of New York forum provisions of the Credit Agreements, is rendered in reliance upon N.Y. Gen. Oblig. Law §§ 5-1401 and 5-1402 and N.Y. C.P.L.R. 327(b), and is subject to the qualification that such enforceability may be limited by public policy considerations by the courts of any jurisdiction, other than the courts of the State of New York, in which enforcement of such provisions, or of a judgment upon an agreement containing such provisions, is sought.

(e)No opinion is rendered as to (i) Section 2.15 or 8.05 of either of the Credit Agreements insofar as it provides that any Lender purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant thereto may exercise setoff or similar rights with respect to such participation, (ii) the effect of the law of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York wherein any Lender may be located or wherein enforcement of either of the Credit Agreements may be sought that limits the rates of interest legally chargeable or collectible, or (iii) the submission by the Borrower to the exclusive jurisdiction of New York State courts or Federal courts of the United States of America, sitting in the Borough of Manhattan. In addition, certain other provisions contained in the Credit Agreements may be limited or rendered ineffective by Applicable Laws of the State of New York or judicial decisions governing such provisions or holding their enforcement to be unreasonable under the then existing circumstances, but the inclusion of such provisions does not affect the validity of either of the Credit Agreements as a whole and does not materially diminish the practical realization of the substantive rights and benefits intended to be provided thereby.
(f)Whenever any statement herein with respect to the existence or absence of facts is indicated to be based on our knowledge or awareness, we are referring solely to the actual knowledge of the particular King & Spalding LLP attorneys who have represented the Borrower in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of the Credit Agreements. Except as expressly set forth herein, we have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of such facts and no inference as to our knowledge concerning such facts should be drawn from our representation of the Borrower in this or any other matters.
This opinion letter speaks only as of the date hereof, and we expressly disclaim any responsibility to advise you of any development or circumstance, including changes of law of fact, that may occur after the date of this opinion letter that might affect the opinions expressed herein. This opinion letter is furnished to the addressees hereof solely in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreements, is solely for the benefit of the addressees hereof, and may not be relied upon by any other Person or for any other purpose without our prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this opinion letter may be relied upon by any Person that becomes a Lender after the date hereof in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Credit Agreement as if this opinion letter were addressed and delivered to such Person on the date hereof. Any such reliance must be actual and reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time such Person becomes a Lender, taking into account any changes in law or facts and any other developments that such Person knows or has reason to know at such time.
Very truly yours,
/s/ King & Spalding LLP

Each such notice of a Revolving Credit Borrowing (a “Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing”) shall be by telephone, confirmed promptly in writing, or by telecopier, in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, (ii) Type of Advances comprising such Revolving Credit Borrowing, (iii) aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, (iv) location of the Borrower’s Account to which funds are to be advanced and (v) in the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, initial Interest Period and currency for each such Revolving Credit Advance.

(b)    Anything in subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may not select Eurocurrency Rate Advances for any Revolving Credit Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Borrowing is less than the Revolving Credit Borrowing Minimum or if the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.08 or 2.12.

19

(c)    Each Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.  In the case of any Revolving Credit Borrowing that the related Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure by the Borrower to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Revolving Credit Borrowing for such Revolving Credit Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Revolving Credit Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Revolving Credit Borrowing when such Revolving Credit Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.
(d)    Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the time of any Revolving Credit Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Agent on the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the 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 Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the 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 Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the higher of (A) the interest rate applicable at the time to Revolving Credit Advances comprising such Revolving Credit Borrowing and (B) the cost of funds incurred by the Agent in respect of such amount and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the higher of (A) the Federal Funds Rate in the case of Advances denominated in Dollars or (B) the cost of funds incurred by the Agent in respect of such amount in the case of Advances denominated in Committed Currencies. If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Advance as part of such Revolving Credit Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.
(e)    The failure of any Lender to make the Revolving Credit Advance to be made by it as part of any Revolving Credit Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Revolving Credit Advance on the date of such Revolving Credit Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Revolving Credit Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Revolving Credit Borrowing.

acceptance of the offer of any such Lender has a reasonable likelihood of subjecting the Borrower to additional costs pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.11, 2.12 or 2.14, the Borrower may reject the offer of such Lender and accept the offer of the Lender offering the next lowest rate of interest.  Subject to the next preceding sentence, if two or more Lenders have offered the same interest rate, the amount to be borrowed at such interest rate will be allocated among such Lenders in proportion to the amount that each such Lender offered at such interest rate.
(iv)    If the Borrower notifies the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, that such Competitive Bid Borrowing is cancelled pursuant to subsection (a)(iii)(A)(x) of this Section 2.03, the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders and such Competitive Bid Borrowing shall not be made.
(v)    If the Borrower accepts one or more of the offers made by any Lender or Lenders pursuant to subsection (a)(iii)(A)(y) of this Section 2.03, the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, shall in turn promptly notify (A) each Lender that has made an offer as described in subsection (a)(ii) of this Section 2.03, of the date and aggregate amount of such Competitive Bid Borrowing and whether or not any offer or offers made by such Lender pursuant to subsection (a)(ii) of this Section 2.03 have been accepted by the Borrower, (B) each Lender that is to make a Competitive Bid Advance as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, of the amount of each Competitive Bid Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, and (C) each Lender that is to make a Competitive Bid Advance as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing, upon receipt, that the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, has received forms of documents appearing to fulfill the applicable conditions set forth in Article III.  Each Lender that is to make a Competitive Bid Advance as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing shall, before 12:00 noon (New York City time), in the case of Competitive Bid Advances to be denominated in Dollars or 11:00 A.M. (London time), in the case of Competitive Bid Advances to be denominated in any Foreign Currency, on the date of such Competitive Bid Borrowing specified in the notice received from the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to clause (A) of the next preceding sentence or any later time when such Lender shall have received notice from the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be pursuant to clause (C) of the next preceding sentence, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent (x) in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing denominated in Dollars, at its address referred to in Section 8.02, in same day funds, such Lender’s portion of such Competitive Bid Borrowing in Dollars and (y) in the case of a Competitive Bid Borrowing in a Foreign Currency, at the Payment Office for such Foreign Currency as shall have been notified by the Agent to the Lenders prior thereto, in same day funds, such Lender’s portion of such Competitive Bid Borrowing in such Foreign Currency.  Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III and after receipt by the Agent of such funds, the Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower at the location specified by the Borrower in its Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing.  Promptly after each Competitive Bid Borrowing the Agent will notify each Lender of the amount of the Competitive Bid Borrowing, the consequent Competitive Bid Reduction and the dates upon which such Competitive Bid Reduction commenced and is then scheduled to terminate.
(b)    Each Competitive Bid Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of $25,000,000 (or the Equivalent thereof in any Foreign Currency rounded up to the nearest 1,000,000 units of such Foreign Currency, determined as of the time of the applicable Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing) or an integral 

23

multiple of $1,000,000 (or the Equivalent thereof in any Foreign Currency rounded up to the nearest 100,000 units of such Foreign Currency, determined as of the time of the applicable Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing) in excess thereof and, following the making of each Competitive Bid Borrowing, the Borrower shall be in compliance with the limitation set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of subsection (a) of this Section 2.03.
(c)    Within the limits and on the conditions set forth in this Section 2.03, the Borrower may from time to time borrow under this Section 2.03, repay pursuant to subsection (d) of this Section 2.03, and reborrow under this Section 2.03, provided that a Competitive Bid Borrowing shall not be made within three Business Days of the date of any other Competitive Bid Borrowing.
(d)    The Borrower shall repay to the Agent for the account of each Lender that has made a Competitive Bid Advance, on the maturity date of each Competitive Bid Advance (such maturity date being that specified by the Borrower for repayment of such Competitive Bid Advance in the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing delivered pursuant to subsection (a)(i) of this Section 2.03 and provided in the Competitive Bid Note evidencing such Competitive Bid Advance), the then unpaid principal amount of such Competitive Bid Advance.  The Borrower may prepay any principal amount of any Competitive Bid Advance, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.10 and 8.04(d), with the consent of the respective Lender of such Competitive Bid Advance.
(e)    The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Competitive Bid Advance from the date of such Competitive Bid Advance to the date the principal amount of such Competitive Bid Advance is repaid in full, at the rate of interest for such Competitive Bid Advance specified by the Lender making such Competitive Bid Advance in its notice with respect thereto delivered pursuant to subsection (a)(ii) of this Section 2.03, payable on the interest payment date or dates specified by the Borrower for such Competitive Bid Advance in the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing delivered pursuant to subsection (a)(i) of this Section 2.03, as provided in the Competitive Bid Note evidencing such Competitive Bid Advance.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay interest on the amount of unpaid principal of and interest on each Competitive Bid Advance owing to a Lender, payable in arrears on the date or dates interest is payable thereon, at a rate per annum equal to the default rate specified by the appropriate Lender in respect of such Competitive Bid Advance.
(f)    The indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from each Competitive Bid Advance made to the Borrower as part of a Competitive Bid Borrowing shall be evidenced by a separate Competitive Bid Note of the Borrower payable to the order of the Lender making such Competitive Bid Advance.  Upon repayment in full of each Competitive Bid Advance in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section 2.03 and the terms of the Competitive Bid Note evidencing such Competitive Bid Advance, the Lender holding such Competitive Bid Note shall cancel such Note and return such Note to the Borrower.
SECTION 2.04.    Fees.  (a)  Unused Commitment Fee.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender (other than the Designated Bidders and other than the Defaulting Lenders) an unused commitment fee on the amount equal to (i) such Lender’s Commitment minus (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Advances made by such Lender, from the Effective Date in the case of each Initial Lender and from the effective date specified in the Assumption Agreement or in the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender in the case of each other Lender until the Termination Date applicable to such Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Fee

SECTION 2.05.    Termination or Reduction of the Commitments.  (a)  Ratable Reduction.  The Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Agent, to terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the unused portions of the respective Commitments of the Lenders, provided that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of $25,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and provided  further that the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the aggregate principal amount of the Competitive Bid Advances denominated in Dollars then outstanding plus the Equivalent in Dollars (determined as of the date of the notice of prepayment) of the aggregate principal amount of the Competitive Bid Advances denominated in Foreign Currencies then outstanding.
(b)    Non-Ratable Reduction.  The Borrower shall have the right, at any time, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to a Defaulting Lender (with a copy to the Agent), to terminate in whole such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment.  Such termination shall be effective with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s unused Commitment on the date set forth in such notice, provided, however, that such date shall be no earlier than three Business Days after receipt of such notice.  Upon termination of a Lender’s Commitment under this Section 2.05(b), the Borrower will pay all principal of, and interest accrued to the date of such payment on, Advances owing to such Defaulting Lender and pay any accrued unused commitment fee payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.04(a), and all other amounts payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (including, but not limited to, any increased costs or other amounts owing under Section 2.11, any indemnification for taxes under Section 2.14, and any compensation payments due as provided in Section 8.04(d)); and upon such payments, the obligations of such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall, by the provisions hereof, be released and discharged; provided, however, that (i) such Defaulting Lender’s rights under Sections 2.11, 2.14 and 8.04, and its obligations under Section 8.04 shall survive such release and discharge as to matters occurring prior to such date; and (ii) no claim that the Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender arising out of such Defaulting Lender’s default hereunder shall be released or impaired in any way.  The aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders once reduced pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) may not be reinstated; provided further, however, that if pursuant to this Section 2.05(b), the Borrower shall pay to a Defaulting Lender any principal of, or interest accrued on, the Revolving Credit Advances owing to such Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower shall either (x) confirm to the Agent that the conditions set forth in Section 3.02(a) and (b) are met on and as of such date of payment or (y) pay or cause to be paid a ratable payment of principal and interest to all Lenders who are not Defaulting Lenders.

25

each Lender from the date of such Revolving Credit Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

(b)    Default Interest.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay interest on (i) the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Advance owing to each Lender, payable in arrears on the dates referred to in subsection (a)(i) or (a)(ii) of this Section 2.07, at a rate per annum equal at all times (after as well as before judgment) to 1% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Revolving Credit Advance pursuant to subsection (a)(i) or (a)(ii) of this Section 2.07 and (ii) the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable hereunder that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 1% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on Base Rate Advances pursuant to subsection (a)(i) of this Section 2.07.
SECTION 2.08.    Interest Rate Determination.  (a)  Each Reference Bank agrees, if requested by the Agent, to furnish to the Agent timely information for the purpose of determining each Eurocurrency Rate and each LIBO Rate.  If any one or more of the Reference Banks shall not furnish such timely information to the Agent for the purpose of determining any such interest rate, the Agent shall determine such interest rate on the basis of timely information furnished by the remaining Reference Banks, subject to the provisions of subsection (e) of this Section 2.08.  The Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by the Agent for purposes of Section 2.07(a)(i) or 2.07(a)(ii), and the rate, if any, furnished by each Reference Bank for the purpose of determining the interest rate under Section 2.07(a)(ii).

(London time) on the second Business Day before the making of a Borrowing in sufficient amounts to fund their respective Revolving Credit Advances as a part of such Borrowing during its Interest Period or (ii) the Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurocurrency Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon (A) the Borrower will, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, (1) if such 

26

Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in Dollars, either (x) prepay such Advances or (y) Convert such Advances into Base Rate Advances and (2) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in any Committed Currency, either (x) prepay such Advances or (y) exchange such Advances into an Equivalent amount of Dollars and Convert such Advances into Base Rate Advances and (B) the obligations of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Revolving Credit Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
(c)    If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders and such Advances will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, (i) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in Dollars, Convert into Base Rate Advances and (ii) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in a Committed Currency, be continued with an Interest Period of one month.
(d)    On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Eurocurrency Rate Advances comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than the Revolving Credit Borrowing Minimum, such Advances shall automatically (i) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in Dollars, Convert into Base Rate Advances and (ii) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in a Committed Currency, be exchanged for an Equivalent amount of Dollars and Convert into Base Rate Advances.
(e)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, (A) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in Dollars, be Converted into Base Rate Advances and (B) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advances are denominated in any Committed Currency, be exchanged for an Equivalent amount of Dollars and be Converted into Base Rate Advances and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended.
(f)    If Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page or Reuters EURIBOR01 Page is unavailable and fewer than two Reference Banks furnish timely information to the Agent for determining the Eurocurrency Rate or LIBO Rate for any Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances, as the case may be, after the Agent has requested such information,
(i)    the Agent shall forthwith notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the interest rate cannot be determined for such Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances, as the case may be,
(ii)    with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Advances, each such Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, (A) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in Dollars, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (B) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance is denominated in any Committed Currency, be prepaid by the Borrower or be automatically exchanged for an Equivalent amount of Dollars and be Converted into a Base Rate Advance (or if such Advance is then a Base Rate Advance, will continue as a Base Rate Advance), and

27

(iii)    the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances, or to Convert Revolving Credit Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances, shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
SECTION 2.09.    Optional Conversion of Revolving Credit Advances.  The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.08, 2.12 and 8.04(d), Convert Revolving Credit Advances denominated in Dollars of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Revolving Credit Advances denominated in Dollars of the other Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.02(b).  Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (a) the date of such Conversion, (b) the Dollar denominated Revolving Credit Advances to be Converted, and (c) if such Conversion is into Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Advance.  Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.
SECTION 2.10.    Prepayments of Advances.  (a)  Optional.  The Borrower may, upon at least two Business Days’ notice in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Advances and notice on the same Business Day in the case of Base Rate Advances to the Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given the Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal amount of such Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (a) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than the Revolving Credit Prepay Minimum or a Revolving Credit Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof and (b) in the event of any such prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.04(d).
(b)    Mandatory.  (i)  If, on any date, the Agent notifies the Borrower that, on any interest payment date, the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of all Advances denominated in Dollars then outstanding plus (B) the Equivalent in Dollars (determined on the third Business Day prior to such interest payment date) of the aggregate principal amount of all Advances denominated in Foreign Currencies then outstanding exceeds 105% of the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders on such date, the Borrower shall, as soon as practicable and in any event within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, subject to the proviso to this sentence set forth below, prepay the outstanding principal amount of any Advances owing by the Borrower in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such sum to an amount not to exceed 100% of the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders on such date together with any interest accrued to the date of such prepayment on the aggregate principal amount of Advances prepaid; provided that if the aggregate principal amount of Base Rate Advances outstanding at the time of such required prepayment is less than the amount of such required prepayment, the portion of such required prepayment in excess of the aggregate principal amount of Base Rate Advances then outstanding shall be deferred until the earliest to occur of the last day of the Interest Period of the outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Advances or the outstanding LIBO Rate Advances and/or the maturity date of the outstanding Local Rate Advances or Fixed Rate Advances, as the case may be, in an aggregate amount equal to the excess of such required prepayment.  The Agent shall give prompt notice of any prepayment required under this Section 2.10(b) to the Borrower and the Lenders, and shall provide prompt notice to the Borrower of any such notice of required prepayment received by it from any Lender.

28

(ii)    Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) shall be made together with any interest accrued to the date of such prepayment on the principal amounts prepaid and, in the case of any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Advance, a LIBO Rate Advance, a Fixed Rate Advance or a Local Rate Advance on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period or at its maturity, any additional amounts which the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse to the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.04(d).  The Agent shall give prompt notice of any prepayment required under this Section 2.10(b) to the Borrower and the Lenders.
SECTION 2.11.    Increased Costs.  (a)  If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in the Eurocurrency Rate Reserve Percentage) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority including, without limitation, any agency of the European Union or similar monetary or multinational authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost as measured from the date hereof to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances, then the Borrower shall, within ten Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of demand by such Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by the certificate described in the immediately following sentence, with a copy of such demand and certificate having been delivered to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost.  A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower and the Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(b)        If any Lender (other than the Designated Bidders) determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) that is adopted, issued, implemented or takes effect after the date of this Agreement, or with any change occurring after the date of this Agreement in such law, regulation, guideline or request or in the administration, interpretation, implementation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, affects such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender's holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, and such compliance has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's capital or on the capital of such Lender's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Commitment of such Lender or the Advances made by such Lender under this Agreement to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender's holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, issuance, implementation, taking effect, or change (taking into consideration such Lender's policies and the policies of such Lender's holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender's holding company for any such reduction suffered.  Such payment will be made to the Agent for the account of such Lender within ten Business Days of the Borrower's receipt of a written demand therefor, accompanied by the certificate described in the immediately following sentence (with a copy of such demand and certificate having been delivered to the Agent).  A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto for all purposes, absent manifest error.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.11(b) shall apply to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy or liquidity issued in connection with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy or liquidity promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking 

29

Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States financial regulatory authorities, regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented.
SECTION 2.12.    Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation by any governmental authority charged with such interpretation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurocurrency Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances in Dollars or any Foreign Currency or to fund or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Advances in Dollars or any Committed Currency or LIBO Rate Advances in Dollars or any Foreign Currency hereunder, (a) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance or LIBO Rate Advance, as the case may be, will automatically, upon such demand (i) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance or LIBO Rate Advance is denominated in Dollars, be Converted into a Base Rate Advance or an Advance that bears interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.07(a)(i), as the case may be, and (ii) if such Eurocurrency Rate Advance or LIBO Rate Advance is denominated in any Foreign Currency, be exchanged into an Equivalent amount of Dollars and be Converted into a Base Rate Advance or an Advance that bears interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.07(a)(i), as the case may be, and (b) the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances or to Convert Revolving Credit Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
SECTION 2.13.    Payments and Computations.  (a)  The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder (except with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances denominated in a Foreign Currency) not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due, without setoff or counterclaim, in Dollars to the Agent at the applicable Agent’s Account in same day funds.  The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances denominated in a Foreign Currency not later than 11:00 A.M. (at the Payment Office for such Foreign Currency) on the day when due, without setoff or counterclaim, in such Foreign Currency to the Agent, by deposit of such funds to the applicable Agent’s Account in same day funds.  The Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or facility fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.03, 2.11, 2.14 or 8.04(d)) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Upon any Assuming Lender becoming a Lender hereunder as a result of a Commitment Increase pursuant to Section 2.20, and upon the Agent's receipt of such Lender's Assumption Agreement and recording of the information contained therein in the Register, from and after the applicable Increase Date the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes issued in connection therewith in respect of the interest assumed thereby to the Assuming Lender.  Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 8.07(d), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

30

(b)    The Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent, if and to the extent payment owed to any Lender is not made when due hereunder or under any Note held by such Lender, to charge from time to time against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with the Agent any amount so due.
(c)    All computations of interest based on JPMorgan's prime rate shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, all computations of interest based on the Eurocurrency Rate, the Federal Funds Rate  or One Month LIBOR (as defined in the definition of “Base Rate”) and of facility fees shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days and computations in respect of Competitive Bid Advances shall be made by the Agent or the Sub-Agent, as the case may be, as specified in the applicable Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing (or, in each case of Advances denominated in Foreign Currencies where market practice differs, in accordance with market practice), in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or facility fees are payable.  Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(d)    Whenever any payment hereunder or under any Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or facility fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Advances or LIBO Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.
(e)    Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender.  If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Agent, at (i) the Federal Funds Rate in the case of Advances denominated in Dollars or (ii) the cost of funds incurred by the Agent in respect of such amount in the case of Advances denominated in Foreign Currencies.
(f)    To the extent that the Agent receives funds for application to the amounts owing by the Borrower under or in respect of this Agreement or any Note in currencies other than the currency or currencies required to enable the Agent to distribute funds to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.13, the Agent shall be entitled to convert or exchange such funds into Dollars or into a Foreign Currency or from Dollars to a Foreign Currency or from a Foreign Currency to Dollars, as the case may be, to the extent necessary to enable the Agent to distribute such funds in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.13; provided that the Borrower and each of the Lenders hereby agree that the Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by the Borrower or such Lender as a result of any conversion or exchange of currencies affected pursuant to this Section 2.13(f) or as a result of the failure of the Agent to effect any such conversion or exchange; and provided further that the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agent and each Lender, and hold the Agent and each Lender harmless, for any and all losses, costs and expenses incurred by the Agent or any Lender for any conversion or exchange of currencies (or the failure to convert or exchange any currencies) in accordance with this Section 2.13(f).

SECTION 2.14.    Taxes.  (a)  Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder or under any Notes shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.13, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender and the Agent, (i) taxes imposed on its net income, as well as any branch profit taxes imposed by the United States of America or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which such Lender is located, franchise taxes measured by income imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on its net income, and franchise taxes measured by income imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof and (ii) any United States withholding taxes imposed by FATCA (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or under any Notes being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”).  If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender or the Agent (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b)    In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Notes or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Notes hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).
(c)    The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.14) paid by such Lender or the Agent or any of its Affiliates (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.  This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender, the Agent or such Affiliate (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.
(d)    Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.  If no Taxes are payable in respect of any payment hereunder or under any Notes, the Borrower will furnish to the Agent, at such address, a certificate from each appropriate taxing authority, or an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Agent, in either case stating that such payment is exempt from or not subject to Taxes.
(e)    (i)  Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide each of the Agent and the Borrower with Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or (in the case of a Lender that has certified in writing to the Agent that it is not a “bank” as defined in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code) Form W-8 

32

(and, if such Non-U.S. Lender delivers a Form W-8, a certificate representing that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) of the Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code)),as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States.  Each such Lender shall provide the Agent and the Borrower with a new form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8, as appropriate, if and at such time as the previously provided form becomes invalid.  If the form provided by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement or at any other time indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from “Taxes” as defined in Section 2.14(a).
(ii)  If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement or any Note would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (ii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(f)    For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form described in subsection (e) of this Section 2.14 (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided, or if such form otherwise is not required under the first sentence of subsection (e) of this Section 2.14), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 2.14 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as the Lender shall reasonably request to assist the Lender to recover such Taxes.
(g)    Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Agreement, in the event that a Lender that originally provided such form as may be required under subsection (e) of this Section 2.14 thereafter ceases to qualify for complete exemption from United States withholding tax, such Lender, with the prior written consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, may assign its interest under this Agreement to any assignee and such assignee shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Section 2.14 as the assignor provided that the rate of United States withholding tax applicable to such assignee shall not exceed the rate then applicable to the assignor.
(h)    Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.14 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Eurocurrency Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the 

33

need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.
(i)    If any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, determines that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes for which payment has been made pursuant to this Section 2.14, which refund in the good faith judgment of such Lender or Agent, as the case may be (and without any obligation to disclose its tax records) is allocable to such payment made under this Section 2.14, the amount of such refund (together with any interest received thereon and reduced by reasonable costs incurred in obtaining such refund) promptly shall be paid to the Borrower to the extent payment has been made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.14, provided, however, if the jurisdiction which refunded such Taxes or Other Taxes subsequently asserts such Taxes or Other Taxes are due, then the Borrower shall indemnify such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 2.14(c).  Each Lender and Agent shall take such action, as the Borrower may reasonably request, in order to apply for and obtain any refund of such amounts the Borrower reasonably determines to be appropriate under the circumstances; provided that any such actions shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower.  Nothing in this Section 2.14(i) shall require any Lender to make available to the Borrower its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems in good faith to be confidential).
SECTION 2.15.    Sharing of Payments, Etc.  If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of the Revolving Credit Advances owing to it (other than pursuant to Section 2.11, 2.14 or 8.04(d)) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Revolving Credit Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lenders) such participations in the Revolving Credit Advances owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.  The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
SECTION 2.16.    Extensions of Termination Date.  No earlier than 90 days and no later than 45 days prior to each anniversary of the Effective Date, the Borrower may, by written notice to the Agent, request that the Termination Date then in effect be extended for a 1-year period.  Such request shall be irrevocable and binding upon the Borrower.  The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such request.  If a Lender agrees, in its individual and sole discretion, to so extend its Commitment (an “Extending Lender”), it shall deliver to the Agent a written notice of its agreement to do so no earlier than 45 days and no later than 30 days prior to such anniversary date and the Agent shall notify the Borrower of such Extending Lender's agreement to extend its Commitment no later than 25 days prior to such anniversary date (each, an “Extension Date”).  The Commitment of any Lender that fails to accept or respond to the Borrower's request for extension of the Termination Date (a “Declining Lender”) shall be terminated on the Termination Date then in effect for such Declining Lender (without regard to any extension by other Lenders) and on such Termination Date the Borrower shall pay in full the principal amount of all Advances owing to such 

34

Declining Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of such payment of principal and all other amounts payable to such Declining Lender under this Agreement.  The Agent shall promptly notify each Extending Lender of the aggregate Commitments of the Declining Lenders.  To the extent of any shortfall in the aggregate amount of extended Commitments, the Borrower shall have the right to (a) request that the Extending Lenders, or any of them, agree to increase their respective Commitments by an aggregate amount up to the aggregate amount of the Declining Lenders' Commitments and (b) require any Declining Lender to assign in full its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Extending Lenders and/or to any Eligible Assignees designated by the Borrower and acceptable to the Agent, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, that agree to accept all of such rights and obligations (each a “Replacement Lender”), provided that (i) such increase and/or such assignment is otherwise in compliance with Section 8.07, (ii) such Declining Lender receives payment in full of the principal amount of all Advances owing to such Declining Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of such payment of principal and all other amounts payable to such Declining Lender under this Agreement and (iii) any such increase shall be effective on such anniversary date and any such assignment shall be effective on the date specified by the Borrower and agreed to by the Replacement Lender and the Agent.  If, but only if, the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.02 are satisfied as of the Extension Date and Extending Lenders and Replacement Lenders have agreed to provide Commitments in an aggregate amount greater than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments outstanding immediately prior to such anniversary date, the Termination Date shall be extended by one year.
SECTION 2.17.    Substitution of Lender.  If the obligation of any Lender to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or Competitive Bid Advances has been suspended pursuant to Section 2.12, any Lender has demanded compensation or the Borrower is otherwise required to pay additional amounts under Section 2.11 or 2.14, such Lender is a Defaulting Lender or such Lender is or becomes insolvent, or if such Lender has declined to approve a waiver or amendment to this Agreement that is otherwise approved by the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall have the right to seek a substitute lender or lenders who qualify as Eligible Assignees to assume, in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.07, the Commitment of such Lender and to purchase the Revolving Credit Advances or Competitive Bid Advances made by such Lender (without recourse to or warranty by such Lender).
SECTION 2.18.    Evidence of Debt.  (a)  Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Revolving Credit Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder in respect of Revolving Credit Advances.  The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Agent) to the effect that a Revolving Credit Note is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Revolving Credit Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Revolving Credit Note payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount up to the Commitment of such Lender.
(b)    The Register maintained by the Agent pursuant to Section 8.07(g) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assumption Agreement and each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender 

35

hereunder and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.
(c)    Entries made in good faith by the Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.
SECTION 2.19.    Defaulting Lenders.  (a)  Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) to the extent permitted by applicable law, until such time as the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero, any prepayment of the Revolving Credit Advances shall, if the Borrower so directs at the time of making such prepayment, be applied to the Revolving Credit Advances of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Revolving Credit Advances, outstanding; (b) such Defaulting Lender’s unused Commitment shall be excluded for purposes of calculating the unused commitment fee payable to Lenders pursuant to Section 2.04(a) in respect of any day during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender; and (c) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Advances as at any date of determination shall be calculated as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Advances of such Defaulting Lender for purposes of determining the aggregate amount of the total Commitments available to be drawn by the Borrower.  No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.19, performance by the Borrower or any Lender of its obligations hereunder shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of any failure by a Defaulting Lender to fund or the operation of this Section 2.19.  The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.19 are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrower, the Agent or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Defaulted Advance. 
(b)    Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower and the Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Revolving Credit Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause all outstanding Revolving Credit Advances to be held pro rata by the Lenders (including such Defaulting Lender) in accordance with the Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
SECTION 2.20.  Increase in the Aggregate Commitments.  (a)  The Borrower may, at any time but in any event on not more than three occasions, by notice to the Agent, request that the aggregate amount of the Commitment be increased by an amount of $25,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof (each a “Commitment Increase”) to be effective as of a date that is at least 90 days prior to the latest Termination Date then in effect (the “Increase Date”) as specified in the related notice to the Agent; provided, however 

36

that (i) in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Commitments at any time exceed $1,500,000,000 and (ii) on the date of any request by the Borrower for a Commitment Increase and on the related Increase Date, the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.02 shall be satisfied.
(b)    The Agent shall promptly notify those Lenders, if any, as specified by the Borrower, of a request by the Borrower for a Commitment Increase, which notice shall include (i) the proposed amount of such requested Commitment Increase, (ii) the proposed Increase Date and (iii) the date by which Lenders wishing to participate in the Commitment Increase must commit to an increase in the amount of their respective Commitments (the “Commitment Date”).  Each Lender that is willing to participate in such requested Commitment Increase (each an “Increasing Lender”) shall, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Agent on or prior to the Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing to increase its Commitment.  If the Lenders notify the Agent that they are willing to increase the amount of their respective Commitments by an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of the requested Commitment Increase, the requested Commitment Increase shall be allocated among the Lenders willing to participate therein in such amounts as are agreed between the Borrower and the Agent.
(c)    Promptly following each Commitment Date, the Agent shall notify the Borrower as to the amount, if any, by which the Lenders are willing to participate in the requested Commitment Increase.  If the aggregate amount by which the Lenders are willing to participate in any requested Commitment Increase on any such Commitment Date is less than the requested Commitment Increase, then the Borrower may extend offers to one or more Eligible Assignees to participate in any portion of the requested Commitment Increase that has not been committed to by the Lenders as of the applicable Commitment Date; provided, however, that the Commitment of each such Eligible Assignee shall be in an amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.
(d)    On each Increase Date, each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to participate in a requested Commitment Increase in accordance with Section 2.20(c) (each such Eligible Assignee, an “Assuming Lender”) shall become a Lender party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date and the Commitment of each Increasing Lender for such requested Commitment Increase shall be so increased by such amount (or by the amount allocated to such Lender pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.20(b)) as of such Increase Date; provided, however, that the Agent shall have received on or before such Increase Date the following, each dated such date:
(i)    (A) certified copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Borrower or the Executive Committee of such Board approving the Commitment Increase and the corresponding modifications to this Agreement and (B) an opinion of counsel for the Borrower (which may be in-house counsel), covering the comparable matters set forth in Exhibit E hereto with respect to the Borrower and with respect to each Assumption Agreement and any other agreement executed and delivered by the Borrowers effecting such Commitment Increase;
(ii)    an assumption agreement from each Assuming Lender, if any, in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent (each an “Assumption Agreement”), duly executed by such Eligible Assignee, the Agent and the Borrower; and
(iii)    confirmation from each Increasing Lender of the increase in the amount of its Commitment in a writing satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent.

37

On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 2.20(d), the Agent shall notify the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Assuming Lender) and the Borrower, on or before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time), by telecopier or other electronic communication, of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date and shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender on such date.  If on the Increase Date there shall be any outstanding Revolving Credit Borrowings, then each Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender shall, before 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Increase Date, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent at the Agent's Account, in same day funds, in the case of such Assuming Lender, an amount equal to such Assuming Lender's ratable portion of the Revolving Credit Borrowings then outstanding (calculated based on its Commitment as a percentage of the aggregate Commitments outstanding after giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase) and, in the case of such Increasing Lender, an amount equal to the excess of (i) such Increasing Lender's ratable portion of the Revolving Credit Borrowings then outstanding (calculated based on its Commitment as a percentage of the aggregate Commitments outstanding after giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase) over (ii) such Increasing Lender's ratable portion of the Revolving Credit Borrowings then outstanding (calculated based on its Commitment (without giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase) as a percentage of the aggregate Commitments (without giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase).  After the Agent's receipt of such funds from each such Increasing Lender and each such Assuming Lender, the Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds to the other Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices in an amount to each other Lender such that the aggregate amount of the outstanding Revolving Credit Advances owing to each Lender after giving effect to such distribution equals such Lender's ratable portion of the Revolving Credit Borrowings then outstanding (calculated based on its Commitment as a percentage of the aggregate Commitments outstanding after giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase).

45

and ratably with (or prior to) such Secured Indebtedness and (B) any Secured Indebtedness that is concurrently being retired) and (ii) the aggregate amount of all Attributable Debt then outstanding pursuant to Sale and Leaseback Transactions entered into by the Borrower after January 26, 1999, or entered into by any Restricted Subsidiary after January 26, 1999, or, if later, the date on which such Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary (not including in this computation any Attributable Debt that is concurrently being retired) would not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets at the time of such Incurrence.

ARTICLE VII     
 
THE AGENT
SECTION 7.01.    Authorization and Authority.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and under its Note, if any, and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.06, the provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.  It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any Note (or any other similar term) with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.  Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.  
SECTION 7.02.    Rights as a Lender.  The Person serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include the Person serving as the Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
SECTION 7.03.    Duties of Agent; Exculpatory Provisions.  (a)  The Agent’s duties hereunder and under the Notes are solely ministerial and administrative in nature and the Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent:

48

(i)    shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(ii)    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 Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein); provided that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any debtor relief law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any debtor relief law; and
(iii)    shall not, except as expressly set forth herein, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
(b)    The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 8.01 or 6.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or the event or events that give or may give rise to any Default other than a Default described in Section 6.01(a) unless and until the Borrower or any Lender shall have given notice to the Agent describing such Default and such event or events.  
(c)    The Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or other information made or supplied in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.
(d)    Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Agent or any of its Related Parties to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any Person on behalf of any Lender and each Lender confirms to the Agent that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Agent or any of its Related Parties.  
SECTION 7.04.    Reliance by Agent.  The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed 

49

by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Advance that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is complied with to the satisfaction of such Lender unless an officer of the Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Advance, and in the case of a Borrowing, such Lender shall not have made available to the Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing.  The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.  
SECTION 7.05.    Delegation of Duties.  The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any Note by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent with reasonable care.  The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  Each such sub-agent and the Related Parties of the Agent and each such sub-agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article VII and Section 8.04 (as though such sub-agents were the “Agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.  
SECTION 7.06.    Resignation of Agent.  (a)  The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent with the approval of the Borrower so long as no Event of Default exists (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or a State thereof, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000,000 and having an office, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office, in New York, New York (or such other location in the United States as the Borrower may agree).  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, and with the approval of the Borrower so long as no Event of Default exists (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
(b)    If the Person serving as Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (e) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Agent and, with the approval of the Borrower so long as no Event of Default exists (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.
(c)    With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Notes (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders under the Agreement, the retiring or removed Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the 

50

retiring or removed Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Agent), and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the Notes.  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After the retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 8.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Agent, its sub‐agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Agent was acting as Agent.  
SECTION 7.07.    Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders.   Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their 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.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any Note or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
SECTION 7.08.    No Other Duties, etc.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Persons acting as bookrunners, arrangers, syndication agent or co-documentation agent listed on the cover page hereof or in the recital or parties hereto shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Agent or as a Lender hereunder.

Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e‐mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender has notified the Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication.  The Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.
Unless the Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i), of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other

(c)    Change of Address, etc.  Any party hereto may change its address (including its e-mail address) or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.
(d)    Platform.
(i)    The Borrower agrees that the Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined below) available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).  Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a “Platform Notice”) specifying that any Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such information, documents or other materials to such Lender for purposes of this Agreement; provided that if requested by any Lender the Agent shall deliver a copy of the Communications to such Lender by e-mail or telecopier and if delivered after normal business hours, shall be deemed delivered on the next Business Day.  Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Agent in writing of such Lender’s e-mail or telecopier address to which a Platform Notice may be sent by electronic transmission (including by electronic communication) on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter to ensure that the Agent has on record an effective e-mail or telecopier address for such Lender) and (ii) that any Platform Notice may be sent to such e-mail or telecopier address.
(ii)    The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.”  The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications.  No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform.  In no event shall the Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender 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 or the Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform, except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Agent Party.  “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material that the Borrower provides to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the Agent or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform.
SECTION 8.03.    No Waiver; Remedies.  No failure on the part of any Lender or the Agent to exercise, and no delay 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 of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
SECTION 8.04.    Costs and Expenses.  (a)  The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, modification and amendment of this Agreement, any Notes and 

53

the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, (i) all syndication (including printing, distribution and bank meetings) expenses and (ii) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Agent with respect thereto.  The Borrower further agrees to pay on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent and the Lenders, if any (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and expenses), in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement, any Notes and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Agent and each Lender in connection with the enforcement of rights under this Section 8.04(a).
(b)    The Borrower agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, each Arranger, each Lender, each of their Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses (other than loss of profits), damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (excluding any taxes and including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnified Party in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not such Indemnified Party shall be designated a party thereto), imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Indemnified Party in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Notes, any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Commitments, the use of proceeds, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, the Borrower shall have no obligation to an Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to Indemnified Matters directly caused by or directly resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Party, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 8.04(b) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, its directors, equityholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.  The Borrower also agrees not to assert any claim for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages against the Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents, on any theory of liability, arising out of or otherwise relating to any Notes, this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances.
(c)    Promptly after receipt by any Indemnified Party of written notice of any Indemnified Matter in respect of which indemnity may be sought by it under this Section 8.04, such Indemnified Party shall notify the Borrower thereof; provided that failure to give any such notice hereunder shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower under this Section 8.04.  Thereafter, such Indemnified Party and the Borrower shall consult, to the extent appropriate, with a view to minimizing the cost to the Borrower of its obligations hereunder.  In case any such Indemnified Party receives written notice of any Indemnified Matter in respect of which indemnity may be sought by it hereunder and it notifies the Borrower thereof, the Borrower shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof, and to the extent that the Borrower may elect by notice delivered to such Indemnified Party promptly after receiving aforesaid notice from such Indemnified Party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory at all times to such Indemnified Party and at the Borrower’s expense; provided, that if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the Borrower to represent such Indemnified Party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest or (ii) the parties against whom any Indemnified Matter arises include both such Indemnified Party and the Borrower and such Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it or other Indemnified Parties which are different from or additional to those available to the Borrower and may 

54

conflict therewith, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such Indemnified Matter on behalf of such Indemnified Party at the Borrower’s expense.  Upon receipt of notice from the Borrower to such Indemnified Party of the Borrower’s election so to assume the defense of such Indemnified Matter, and approval of counsel by such Indemnified Party, the Borrower shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) such Indemnified Party shall have employed counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence, (ii) the Borrower shall not have employed within a reasonable time and continued to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party to represent such Indemnified Party, or (iii) the Borrower shall have approved the employment of counsel for such Indemnified Party at the Borrower’s expense.  The Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement of any claim, action or proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The Borrower will not settle any claim, action or proceeding affecting any Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Borrower under this Agreement, whether or not such Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action or proceeding, without such Indemnified Party’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless such settlement (x) does not require any performance by or adverse admission of such Indemnified Party, (y) does not adversely affect its business and (z) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action or proceeding.
(d)    If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurocurrency Rate Advance, LIBO Rate Advance or Local Rate Advance is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.05(b), 2.08(c) or (d), 2.10 or 2.12, acceleration of the maturity of the Advances pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other reason, or by an Eligible Assignee to a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance upon an assignment of rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.07 as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.07(a), the Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender within five Business Days of such payment (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion, including, without limitation, any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such Advance.  If the amount of the Committed Currency purchased by any Lender in the case of a Conversion or exchange of Advances in the case of Section 2.08 or 2.12 exceeds the sum required to satisfy such Lender’s liability in respect of such Advances, such Lender agrees to remit to the Borrower such excess.
(e)    Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in Sections 2.11, 2.14 and 8.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under any Notes and termination of this Agreement.
(f)    Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such Lender’s ratable share (determined as of the time the event giving rise to such indemnification occurred) of any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements and expenses, joint or several, of any kind or nature (including the fees (in the case of counsel, reasonable attorney’s fees), charges and 

55

disbursements of any advisor or counsel for such Person that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent) in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Notes or any action taken or omitted by the Agent hereunder or under the Notes; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements or expenses to the extent resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent for its ratable share (determined as of the time the event giving rise to such reimbursement occurred) of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section 8.04(a), to the extent that the Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower.
SECTION 8.05.    Right of Setoff.  Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (b) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Agent to declare the Advances due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, but excluding any accounts designated as collateral accounts securing other Debt) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and any Note held by such Lender, whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such Note and although such obligations may be unmatured.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.  The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section 8.05 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) that such Lender and its Affiliates may have.
SECTION 8.06.    Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall become effective (other than Sections 2.01 and 2.03, which shall only become effective upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.03) when it shall have been executed by the Borrower, the Agent and when the Agent shall have been notified by each Initial Lender that such Initial Lender has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of each Lender.
SECTION 8.07.    Assignments, Designations and Participations.  (a)  Each Lender (other than a Designated Bidder) may, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be required so long as an Event of Default is continuing), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and shall, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and if demanded by the Borrower (pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.17) upon at least five Business Days’ notice to such Lender and the Agent, assign to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Revolving Credit Advances owing to it and any Revolving Credit Note or Notes held by it); provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within ten Business Days after having received notice thereof, and provided, further, however, that:

56

(i)    each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement (other than any right to make Competitive Bid Advances, Competitive Bid Advances owing to it or Competitive Bid Notes),
(ii)    except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof,
(iii)    each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee,
(iv)    each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 8.07(a) shall be arranged by the Borrower at the Borrower’s expense, shall be to an Eligible Assignee acceptable to the Agent (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld) and shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or other such assignments that together cover all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement,
(v)    no Lender shall be obligated to make any such assignment as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 8.07(a) unless and until such Lender shall have received one or more payments from either the Borrower or one or more Eligible Assignees in an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances owing to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement, 
(vi)    the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Revolving Credit Note subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500,
(vii)    the assignee shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire,
(viii)    if such assignment shall be made as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 8.07(a) to an assignee that, immediately prior to such assignment, was neither a Lender nor an Affiliate of a Lender, an administrative fee of $3,500 shall have been paid by the Borrower to the Agent upon its demand, 
(ix)    notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, a Lender may assign to any of its Affiliates all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Revolving Credit Advances owing to it and any Revolving Credit Note or Notes held by it) upon notice to the Borrower and the Agent, with or without the consent of the Borrower or the Agent (but without releasing the obligations of the assigning Lender hereunder except with the written consent of the Borrower), so long as such assignment is otherwise in compliance with this Agreement, and

57

(x)    notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, a Lender may assign to any assignee all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Revolving Credit Advances owing to it and any Revolving Credit Note or Notes held by it) upon notice to the Agent, but without the consent of the Borrower, so long as any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (B) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).
(b)    By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:
(i)    other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any Note or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any Note or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto;

(vii)    such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
(c)    Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with any Revolving Credit Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto and has been consented to by the Borrower if such consent is required, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.
(d)    Each Lender (other than the Designated Bidders) may designate one or more banks or other entities to have a right to make Competitive Bid Advances as a Lender pursuant to Section 2.03; provided, however, that (i) no such Lender shall be entitled to make more than five such designations, (ii) each such Lender making one or more of such designations shall retain the right to make Competitive Bid Advances as a Lender pursuant to Section 2.03, (iii) each such designation shall be to a Designated Bidder and (iv) the parties to each such designation shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, a Designation Agreement.

(e)    By executing and delivering a Designation Agreement, the Lender making the designation thereunder and its designee thereunder confirm and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:
(i)    such Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any Note or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto;

The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat only the Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  The Agent shall be considered to act as the agent of the Borrower in connection with its duties in respect of the Register.
(h)    Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it and any Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to the Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and any Notes and (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Note or any consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation.
(i)    Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment, designation or participation or proposed assignment, designation or participation pursuant to this Section 8.07, disclose to the assignee, designee or participant or proposed assignee, designee or participant, any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee, designee or participant or proposed assignee, designee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Borrower received by it from such Lender.

60

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any Note in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b)    Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Note in any New York State or federal court.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(a)  If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase Dollars with such other currency at JPMorgan’s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M.

(c)    The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any sum due from it in any currency (the “Primary Currency”) to any Lender or the Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any other currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be), of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the applicable Primary Currency with such other currency; if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased is less than such sum due to such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, 

62

to indemnify such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased exceeds such sum due to any Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to the Borrower such excess.
SECTION 8.13.    Substitution of Currency.  If a change in any Foreign Currency occurs pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation of any governmental, monetary or multi-national authority, this Agreement (including, without limitation, the definitions of Eurocurrency Rate and LIBO Rate) will be amended to the extent determined by the Agent (acting reasonably and in consultation with the Borrower) to be necessary to reflect the change in currency and to put the Lenders and the Borrower in the same position, so far as possible, that they would have been in if no change in such Foreign Currency had occurred.
SECTION 8.14.    Patriot Act Notice.  Each Lender and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.  The Borrower shall provide, to the extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Agent or any Lenders in order to assist the Agent and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act.
SECTION 8.15.    No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.  In connection with all aspects of the financing contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (a) (i) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, (ii) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (iii) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the financing contemplated hereby; (b) (i) each of the Agent, each Arranger and each Lender is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any other Person and (ii) none of the Agent, any Arranger or any Lender has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the financing contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein; and (c) the Agent, each Arranger, each Lender and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Agent, any Arranger or any Lender has any obligation, by reason of its participation in the financing contemplated hereby, to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates.
SECTION 8.16.    Waiver of Jury Trial.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Note or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory).  Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other Person has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Person would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement and any Notes by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 8.16.

To the Lenders that are parties to the 364-Day Credit Agreement and 5-Year Credit Agreement as defined below, and to the Agent
for such Lenders as defined below
Re:    United Parcel Service, Inc.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 3.01(e)(iv) of that certain 364-Day Credit Agreement (the "364-Day Credit Agreement") and Section 3.01(e)(iv) of the Amended and Restated Five-Year Credit Agreement (the "5-Year Credit Agreement," and together with the 364-Day Credit Agreement, the "Credit Agreements"), each dated as of March 29, 2013, among United Parcel Service, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"), the banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders listed on the signature pages to the respective Credit Agreements (collectively, the "Lenders"), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the "Agent") for the Lenders, with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners. Terms defined in the Credit Agreements are used herein as therein defined.
We have acted as special New York counsel for the Borrower in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the Credit Agreements. In that connection, we have examined:
	
		
	(a)
	each of the Credit Agreements;

	(b)
	the corporate charter of the Borrower and all amendments thereto (its "Charter");

	(c)
	the by-laws of the Borrower (its "By-Laws"); and

	(d)
	the certificate of the Secretary of State of Delaware dated March 20, 2013, attesting to the continued corporate existence and good standing of the Borrower in such state.

We have also examined the certificates of the Assistant Treasurer and the Assistant Secretary of the Borrower, dated March 29, 2013 (the "Certificates") and the originals, or copies certified to our satisfaction, of the documents listed in the Certificates. In addition, we have examined the originals, or copies certified to our satisfaction, of such other corporate records of the Borrower, certificates of public officials and of officers of the Borrower, and such other agreements, instruments and other documents, as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions expressed below. In rendering the opinions set forth herein, we have relied on the accuracy and completeness of all factual matters set forth in such certificates, records, agreements, instruments and other documents, as well as the representations and warranties of the Borrower as to factual matters set forth in the Credit Agreements.

For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed that (i) all items submitted to us as originals are authentic and all signatures thereon are genuine, (ii) all items submitted to us as copies conform to the originals, and (iii) each such item has been duly executed and delivered by each party pursuant to due authorization therefor and constitutes such party's (other than the Borrower's) legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms. We have further assumed that (x) each party to each Credit Agreement (other than the Borrower) has complied with all banking and other laws and regulations that are applicable to such party in respect of such Credit Agreement and the transactions described therein, including without limitation, any requirement for such party to be authorized to transact business as a foreign entity in any jurisdiction in which enforcement of such Credit Agreement is sought by such party, and (y) to the extent applicable law requires that any Lender or the Agent act in accordance with applicable duties of good faith or fair dealing, in a commercially reasonable manner, or otherwise in compliance with applicable legal requirements in exercising its rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement to which it is a party, such Lender or the Agent will fully comply with such legal requirements, notwithstanding any provision of such Credit Agreement that purports to grant such Lender or the Agent the right to act or fail to act in a manner contrary to such legal requirements, or based on its sole judgment or in its sole discretion or provisions of similar import.
Our opinions expressed herein are limited to Applicable Laws, and we do not express any opinion herein concerning any other law. The term "Applicable Laws" means those laws, rules and regulations of the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and the laws of the United States of America which are actually known to us (based upon our review of those laws, rules and regulations which, in our experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Credit Agreements). Without limiting the foregoing, we express no opinion as to any matter arising under any applicable federal or state securities law, antitrust or trade law, environmental law, health or safety law, tax, labor, insurance, pension or employee benefit law, any law relating to licenses, permits, approvals or similar matters applicable to the properties, businesses or activities of the Borrower, any matter of local or municipal law adopted by any political subdivision of any state, or any other law that is applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreements or the parties thereto because of the nature or extent of their properties or business activities.
Based upon the foregoing and upon such investigation as we have deemed necessary, and subject to the assumptions, limitations, qualifications and exceptions stated herein, we are of the opinion that as of the date hereof:
1.Based solely on the certificate described in item (d) above, the Borrower is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.
2.The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of each of the Credit Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby are within the Borrower's corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and do not contravene (i) its Charter or its By-Laws or (ii) any Applicable Laws applicable to the Borrower (including, without limitation, Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) or (iii) any contractual or legal restriction contained in any document referred to in the Certificates or otherwise known to us. Each of the Credit Agreements has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Borrower.
3.No authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body in the State of New York or the United States of America is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of either of the Credit Agreements.

4.Each of the Credit Agreements is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms.
In addition, we confirm to you that, insofar as is known to us, except as otherwise described in the Credit Agreements or in the Borrower's reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q, or 8-K previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, there are no pending or overtly threatened actions or proceedings against the Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator which purport to affect the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of either of the Credit Agreements or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby or which are likely to have a materially adverse effect upon the financial condition or operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
The opinions set forth above are subject to the following limitations, qualifications and exceptions:
(a)No opinion is rendered as to matters not specifically referred to herein and you may not infer from anything stated herein or not stated herein any opinions with respect thereto.
(b)Our opinion in paragraph 4 above is qualified to the extent that the enforceability of the Credit Agreements may be limited by the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally (including, without limitation, matters of contract rejection, fraudulent conveyances and obligations, turn-over, preference, equitable subordination, automatic stay, and substantive consolidation under federal bankruptcy laws, as well as state laws regarding fraudulent transfers, obligations, and conveyances, and state receivership laws).
(c)Our opinion in paragraph 4 above is subject to the effect of general principles of equity, whether applied by a court of law or equity (including, without limitation, principles governing the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, principles affording traditional equitable defenses such as waiver, laches and estoppel, and legal standards requiring reasonableness or materiality of breach for exercise of remedies or providing for defenses based on impracticability or impossibility of performance or on obstruction or failure to perform or otherwise act in accordance with an agreement by a party thereto other than the Borrower).
(d)Our opinion in paragraph 4 above, insofar as it concerns the enforceability of the choice of New York law and the choice of New York forum provisions of the Credit Agreements, is rendered in reliance upon N.Y. Gen. Oblig. Law §§ 5-1401 and 5-1402 and N.Y. C.P.L.R. 327(b), and is subject to the qualification that such enforceability may be limited by public policy considerations by the courts of any jurisdiction, other than the courts of the State of New York, in which enforcement of such provisions, or of a judgment upon an agreement containing such provisions, is sought.

(e)No opinion is rendered as to (i) Section 2.15 or 8.05 of either of the Credit Agreements insofar as it provides that any Lender purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant thereto may exercise setoff or similar rights with respect to such participation, (ii) the effect of the law of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York wherein any Lender may be located or wherein enforcement of either of the Credit Agreements may be sought that limits the rates of interest legally chargeable or collectible, or (iii) the submission by the Borrower to the exclusive jurisdiction of New York State courts or Federal courts of the United States of America, sitting in the Borough of Manhattan. In addition, certain other provisions contained in the Credit Agreements may be limited or rendered ineffective by Applicable Laws of the State of New York or judicial decisions governing such provisions or holding their enforcement to be unreasonable under the then existing circumstances, but the inclusion of such provisions does not affect the validity of either of the Credit Agreements as a whole and does not materially diminish the practical realization of the substantive rights and benefits intended to be provided thereby.
(f)Whenever any statement herein with respect to the existence or absence of facts is indicated to be based on our knowledge or awareness, we are referring solely to the actual knowledge of the particular King & Spalding LLP attorneys who have represented the Borrower in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of the Credit Agreements. Except as expressly set forth herein, we have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of such facts and no inference as to our knowledge concerning such facts should be drawn from our representation of the Borrower in this or any other matters.
This opinion letter speaks only as of the date hereof, and we expressly disclaim any responsibility to advise you of any development or circumstance, including changes of law of fact, that may occur after the date of this opinion letter that might affect the opinions expressed herein. This opinion letter is furnished to the addressees hereof solely in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreements, is solely for the benefit of the addressees hereof, and may not be relied upon by any other Person or for any other purpose without our prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this opinion letter may be relied upon by any Person that becomes a Lender after the date hereof in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Credit Agreement as if this opinion letter were addressed and delivered to such Person on the date hereof. Any such reliance must be actual and reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time such Person becomes a Lender, taking into account any changes in law or facts and any other developments that such Person knows or has reason to know at such time.
Very truly yours,
/s/ King & Spalding LLP
