(b)  Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions . To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the applicable Borrower shall hand deliver or transmit by facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the account party or account parties with respect to such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit, together, in the case of a request for an issuance of a Letter of Credit, with draft language for such Letter of Credit reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank. If requested by

27

the applicable Issuing Bank, such Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, such Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure will not exceed the Aggregate Commitment, (ii) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender will not exceed its Commitment, (iii) the Borrower Credit Exposure of the Borrower requesting such Letter of Credit will not exceed the Borrower Sublimit of such Borrower, (iv) the portion of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by the applicable Issuing Bank will not, unless such Issuing Bank shall so agree, exceed the LC Commitment of such Issuing Bank and (v) the LC Exposure will not exceed $250,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Issuing Bank shall be required to (A) issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit (w) other than in Dollars, (x) if any order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority shall enjoin or restrain, or by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain, such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, (y) if any applicable law or any order, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any governmental authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or impose upon such Issuing Bank any restriction, reserve or capital requirement with respect to such Letter of Credit not in effect on the Restatement Effective Date for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated (or assured to its satisfaction that it will be compensated) hereunder or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense not applicable to such Issuing Bank on the Restatement Effective Date, which such Issuing Bank deems in good faith to be material to it and for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated (or assured to its satisfaction that it will be compensated) hereunder, or (z) if, for Letters of Credit to be issued jointly for the account of either Borrower and any of its subsidiaries in accordance with Section 2.4(a), the applicable Issuing Bank has not received documentation that it shall have reasonably requested in order to comply with its obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA Patriot Act, with respect to such subsidiaries, (B) issue any Letter of Credit that is a commercial letter of credit (as opposed to a standby letter of credit) if such Issuing Bank shall have advised the applicable Borrower that it is unable or not approved to do so, or (C) in the case of any Letter of Credit containing an automatic renewal provision, permit the extension of such Letter of Credit if (x) such Issuing Bank would have no obligation, at such time, to issue such Letter of Credit under the terms hereof and (y) the Issuing Bank gives notice of the non-renewal thereof to the applicable Borrower and the beneficiary prior to the last date on which, under and pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit, such notice will be effective to prevent such renewal. If the Required Lenders notify the Issuing Banks that a Default exists with respect to a requesting Borrower and instruct the Issuing Banks to suspend the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of Letters of Credit for the account of such Borrower, no Issuing Bank shall issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit for the account of such Borrower without the consent of the Required Lenders until such notice is withdrawn by the Required Lenders (and each Lender that shall have delivered such notice agrees promptly to withdraw it at such time as no Default exists).

(c)  Expiration Date . Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and

28

(ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the earlier of the Maturity Date and the LC Commitment Termination Date for the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that any Letter of Credit may contain customary automatic renewal provisions agreed upon by the applicable Borrower and the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to which the expiration date of such Letter of Credit shall automatically be extended for a period of up to 12 months (but not to a date later than the date that is five Business Days prior to the earlier of the Maturity Date and the LC Commitment Termination Date for such Issuing Bank, unless otherwise permitted pursuant to the immediately succeeding proviso), subject to a right on the part of such Issuing Bank to prevent any such renewal from occurring by giving notice to the beneficiary in advance of any such renewal; provided further that, with the prior consent of the applicable Issuing Bank, a Letter of Credit may be issued or extended with an expiration date beyond the fifth Business Day prior to the earlier of the Maturity Date and the LC Commitment Termination Date for such Issuing Bank, in which case the applicable Borrower shall deposit, on or prior to the date that is 90 days prior to the earlier of the Maturity Date and the LC Commitment Termination Date for such Issuing Bank, in an account with such Issuing Bank, for the benefit of the Lenders and such Issuing Bank, as cash collateral pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and such Issuing Bank, an amount in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued for its account by such Issuing Bank that have an expiration date later than the fifth Business Day prior to the earlier of the Maturity Date and the LC Commitment Termination Date for such Issuing Bank.

(d)  Participations . By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the applicable Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e)  Reimbursement . If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower for the account of which such Letter of Credit was issued, severally and not jointly with the other Borrower, shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon (New York time) on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if such Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by such Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon (New York time), on (i) the Business Day on which such Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the day of

29

receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day on which such Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than $1,000,000, such Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.1 that such payment be financed with a Floating Rate Advance to such Borrower in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Floating Rate Advance. If such Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Agent its Pro Rata Share of the payment then due from such Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.9 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.9 shall apply, mutatis mutandis , to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Agent of any payment from such Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Agent shall distribute such payment to such Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of a Floating Rate Advance as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve such Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f)  Obligations Absolute . Each Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section in respect of Letters of Credit issued for its account shall be several and not joint with the other Borrower, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, such Borrower’s obligations hereunder. None of the Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, or any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers or employees, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Bank from liability to a Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by such Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s wrongful honor or rejection of any drawing under such Letter of Credit to the extent

30

arising out of the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, but subject to any non-waivable provisions of the laws and/or other rules to which a Letter of Credit is subject, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g)  Disbursement Procedures . The applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Agent and the applicable Borrower by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve such Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h)  Interim Interest . If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of any Letter of Credit, then, unless the Borrower for the account of which such Letter of Credit was issued shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date on which such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date on which such Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Floating Rate Advances; provided that, if such Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.12 shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of such Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i)  Cash Collateralization . If (i) a Default under Section 7.2 with respect to a Borrower shall occur and be continuing or (ii) any other Default with respect to a Borrower shall occur and be continuing and the Required Lenders shall have terminated the Commitments insofar as they are available to such Borrower or accelerated the maturity of any Loans of such Borrower, in either case as a result of such Default (and unless and until any such termination or acceleration has been rescinded), then on the Business Day that such Borrower receives notice from the Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposures representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, such Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Agent, in the name of the Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 101% of the portion of the LC Exposure as of such date attributable to Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Default with respect to such Borrower described in Section 7.6 or 7.7. Such deposit shall be held by the Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations of such Borrower under

31

this Agreement. The Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made only if and to the extent requested by such Borrower and then only at the option and sole discretion of the Agent, and all at such Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements under outstanding Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of future reimbursement obligations under Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of such Lenders with LC Exposures representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Obligations of such Borrower under this Agreement. If either Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of any event specified in clause (i) or (ii) above with respect to such Borrower, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower within three Business Days after all Defaults with respect to such Borrower have been cured or waived and, if Loans or other Obligations (other than any unasserted contingent indemnity claims) of such Borrower have been accelerated, all such Loans and other Obligations of such Borrower have been repaid (or such acceleration has been rescinded). If at any time the cash collateral of either Borrower shall exceed 101% of such portion of the LC Exposure as of such date attributable to Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower, the Agent shall apply such excess funds to the payment of such Borrower’s Obligations or (x) if no such Obligations are then due and owing and no Default with respect to such Borrower shall exist, shall release such excess funds to such Borrower or (y) if no such Obligations are outstanding (other than contingent Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit which are fully collateralized and unasserted contingent indemnification claims), such excess amount shall be released to such Borrower notwithstanding the existence of a Default in respect of such Borrower.

(j)  Designation of Additional Issuing Banks; Termination of Appointment of Issuing Banks . From time to time, the Borrowers may, by notice to the Agent and the Lenders, designate as additional Issuing Banks one or more Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below. The acceptance by a Lender of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement (an “ Issuing Bank Agreement ”), which shall be in a form satisfactory to the Borrowers and the Agent, shall set forth the LC Commitment of such Lender and shall be executed by such Lender, the Borrowers and the Agent and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include such Lender in its capacity as an Issuing Bank. If the Maturity Date shall be extended beyond the LC Commitment Termination Date of any Issuing Bank that is a Declining Lender, the appointment of such Issuing Bank shall be terminated effective as of the Existing Maturity Date, at which time the Borrowers shall pay any unpaid fees accrued for the account of the terminated Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.6(b). Notwithstanding the effectiveness of any such termination, the terminated Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all rights as an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such termination, but shall not issue any additional Letters of Credit.

2.5. Types of Advances . Revolving Advances may be Floating Rate Advances or Eurodollar Advances, or a combination thereof, selected by the applicable Borrower in accordance with Sections 2.9 and 2.10.

2.6. Facility Fee; Letter of Credit Fees; Reductions in Aggregate Commitment and Borrower Sublimits .

(a)  Facility Fee . Subject to Section 2.22, each Borrower agrees, severally and not jointly with the other Borrower, to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee (the “ Facility Fee ”) at a per annum rate equal to such Borrower’s Applicable Fee Rate on its Contribution Percentage of such Lender’s Commitment (whether used or unused) from and including the Restatement Effective Date to and including the Availability Termination Date for such Borrower, payable quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date, commencing on the first Payment Date to occur after the Restatement Effective Date; provided , that if any Lender continues to have Revolving Credit Exposure attributable to such Borrower hereunder after the Availability Termination Date for such Borrower (excluding any Revolving Credit Exposure in respect of LC Exposure which is cash collateralized hereunder), then the Facility Fee shall continue to accrue on the aggregate principal amount of such Revolving Credit Exposure until such Lender ceases to have any such Revolving Credit Exposure, and shall be payable on demand.

(b)  Letter of Credit Fees . Each Borrower agrees, severally and not jointly with the other Borrower, to pay (i) to the Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower (the “ LC

Participation Fee ”), which shall accrue at a per annum rate equal to such Borrower’s Applicable Fee Rate on the average daily amount of that portion of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) attributable to Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower during the period from and including the Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any such LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon between such Borrower and such Issuing Bank on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the account of such Borrower (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of such Issuing Bank’s LC Commitment and the date on which there ceases to be any such LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for such Borrower, as well as each Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for the account of such Borrower or processing of drawings thereunder. LC Participation Fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Restatement Effective Date; provided that all such fees accrued for the account of such Borrower shall be payable on the Availability Termination Date for such Borrower and any such fees accruing after the Availability Termination Date for such Borrower shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable promptly upon receipt of an invoice therefor in reasonable detail.

(c)  Termination of and Reductions in Aggregate Commitment and Borrower Sublimits . The Commitments will automatically terminate on the Maturity Date. The Company (on behalf of itself and the Borrowing Subsidiary) may permanently reduce (subject to its right pursuant to Section 2.23 to subsequently increase) the Aggregate Commitment (with or without reducing either Borrower’s Sublimit), and (without limiting the foregoing) the Borrowing Subsidiary or the Company, as applicable, may permanently reduce its respective Borrower Sublimit (with or without reducing the Aggregate Commitment), in each case, in whole or in part and without penalty or premium, ratably among the Lenders, in integral multiples of $5,000,000, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Agent, which notice shall specify, as applicable, (i) the aggregate amount of any such reduction and/or (ii) the individual amount by which the applicable Borrower Sublimit shall be reduced; provided , however , that (A) the amount of the Aggregate Commitment may not be reduced below the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure and (B) the Borrower Sublimit of either Borrower may not be reduced below the Borrower Credit Exposure of such Borrower, in each case, giving effect to any prepayment to be made on such date. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitment under this paragraph (other than the first sentence hereof) shall reduce ratably the Commitments of all the Lenders.

2.7. Minimum Amount of Each Advance . Each Eurodollar Advance shall be in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 (and in a multiple of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof), and each Floating Rate Advance shall be in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 (and in a multiple of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof); provided , however , that (i) any Floating Rate Advance to a Borrower may be in the amount of the Available Aggregate Commitment and (ii) any Floating

34

Rate Advance to a Borrower may be in the amount equal to the lesser of the Available Aggregate Commitment and the amount by which the Borrower Sublimit of such Borrower exceeds the Borrower Credit Exposure of such Borrower.

2.8. Optional Principal Payments . Each Borrower may from time to time pay, without penalty or premium, all outstanding Floating Rate Advances of such Borrower, or any portion of such outstanding Floating Rate Advances, in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the remaining outstanding principal amount of such Borrower’s Floating Rate Advances), upon at least one Business Day’s prior notice to the Agent. Each Borrower may from time to time pay, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.4 but without penalty or premium, all outstanding Eurodollar Advances of such Borrower, or any portion of such outstanding Eurodollar Advances, in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the remaining outstanding principal amount of such Borrower’s Eurodollar Advances), upon at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Agent. Any optional payment of Advances under this Section shall be applied ratably to the Advances of all the Lenders. Failure to make any optional payment of Advances under this Section on the date specified by the applicable Borrower to the Agent shall not constitute a Default.

2.9. Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for New Revolving Advances; Funding of Loans . The applicable Borrower shall select the Type of each Revolving Advance and, in the case of each Eurodollar Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto; provided that there shall be no more than five Interest Periods in effect with respect to all of the Revolving Loans of any single Borrower at any time, unless such limit has been waived by the Agent in its sole discretion. The applicable Borrower shall give the Agent irrevocable notice (a “ Borrowing Notice ”) not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Borrowing Date of each Floating Rate Advance or on the third Business Day before the Borrowing Date for each Eurodollar Advance, specifying:

The Agent shall provide written notice to each Lender of each request for borrowing under this Section 2.9 by 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Borrowing Date for each Floating Rate Advance or on the third Business Day prior to the Borrowing Date for each Eurodollar Advance, as applicable. Not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on each Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make available its Revolving Loan or Revolving Loans in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York to the Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII. The Agent will promptly make the funds so received from the Lenders available to such Borrower at the Agent’s aforesaid address.

2.10. Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Revolving Advances; No Conversion or Continuation of Eurodollar Advances After Default . Floating Rate Advances shall continue as Floating Rate Advances unless and until such Floating Rate Advances are converted into Eurodollar Advances pursuant to this Section 2.10 or are repaid in accordance with Section 2.8. Each Eurodollar Advance shall continue as a Eurodollar Advance until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such Eurodollar Advance shall be automatically converted into a Eurodollar Advance with an Interest Period of one month (unless such conversion would otherwise be prohibited hereunder, in which case such Eurodollar Advance shall be converted into a Floating Rate Advance) unless (x) such Eurodollar Advance is or was repaid in accordance with Section 2.8 or (y) the applicable Borrower shall have given the Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice (as defined below) requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Eurodollar Advance either continue as a Eurodollar Advance for the same or another Interest Period or be converted to a Floating Rate Advance. Subject to the terms of Section 2.7, a Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of an Advance of any Type into any other Type or Types of Advances; provided that any conversion of any Eurodollar Advance shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.10, during the continuance of a Default with respect to a Borrower, the Agent may (or shall at the direction of the Required Lenders), by notice to such Borrower, declare that no Advance of such Borrower may be made, converted or continued as a Eurodollar Advance. The applicable Borrower shall give the Agent irrevocable notice (a “ Conversion/Continuation Notice ”) of each conversion of a Floating Rate Advance to a Eurodollar Advance, continuation of a Eurodollar Advance, or conversion of a Eurodollar Advance to a Floating Rate Advance not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) at least three Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying:

2.11. Interest Rates, etc.  Each Floating Rate Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Advance is made, to (but excluding) the date it is paid or is converted into a Eurodollar Advance pursuant to Section 2.10, as applicable, at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate applicable to such Borrower for such day. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each Eurodollar Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from and including the first day of each Interest Period applicable thereto to (but excluding) the earlier of the last day of such Interest Period or the date it is paid in accordance with Section 2.8, at the applicable Eurodollar Rate as determined by the Agent as applicable to such Borrower’s Eurodollar Advance based upon the applicable Borrower’s selections under Sections 2.9 and 2.10 and otherwise in accordance with the terms hereof.

36

2.12. Rates Applicable After Default . Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of any Loan is not paid when due, or if any interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by either Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise (in each case, after giving effect to any applicable grace period with respect to such payment), such overdue amount shall bear interest, commencing on the day after such amount shall have become due in the case of principal and on the second Business Day after such amount shall have become due (in each case, after giving effect to any applicable grace period with respect to such payment) in the case of other amounts, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in Section 2.11 or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% per annum plus the rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances as provided in Section 2.11.

2.13. Method of Payment . All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Agent at the Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article XIII, or at any other Lending Installation of the Agent specified in writing by the Agent reasonably in advance of the date any such payment is required to be made, by 12:00 noon (New York time) on the date when due and shall be applied ratably by the Agent among the Lenders to which such Obligations are owing. Each payment delivered to the Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Agent from such Lender. The Agent is hereby authorized, at any time when a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to charge the respective accounts of each Borrower maintained with JPMorgan for each payment of principal, interest and fees owed by such Borrower as such payment becomes due hereunder.

2.14. Noteless Agreement; Evidence of Indebtedness .

(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender to such Borrower from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(b) The Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the date and the amount of each Loan made to each Borrower hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period (in the case of a Eurodollar Advance) with respect thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder, (iii) the effective date and amount of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it pursuant to Section 12.1 and the parties thereto, (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder from each Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof and (v) all other appropriate debits and credits as provided in this Agreement, including all fees, charges, expenses and interest.

(c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided , however , that the failure of the Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of such Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.

(d) Any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note in substantially the form of Exhibit D (a “ Note ”). In such event, the applicable Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender such Note payable to such Lender. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (prior to any assignment pursuant to Section 12.1) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the payee named therein, except to the extent that any such Lender subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in paragraphs (a) and (b) above.

37

2.15. Telephonic Notices . Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of such Borrower, it being understood that the foregoing authorization is specifically intended to allow Borrowing Notices and Conversion/Continuation Notices to be given telephonically. Each Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Agent a written confirmation, signed by an Authorized Officer, of each telephonic notice. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error.

2.16. Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis . Interest accrued on each Floating Rate Advance shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Restatement Effective Date, on any date on which such Floating Rate Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Advance shall be payable on the last day of each applicable Interest Period, on any date on which such Eurodollar Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Advance having an Interest Period longer than three months shall also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during such Interest Period. Interest on Eurodollar Advances and fees hereunder shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest on Floating Rate Advances, at times when the Floating Rate Advances are based on the Prime Rate, shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365/366-day year, and in each other case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to 12:00 noon (New York time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance, any fees or any other amounts payable to the Agent or any Lender hereunder shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest, fees and commissions in connection with such payment.

2.17. Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment Reductions; Availability of Loans . Promptly after receipt thereof, the Agent will notify each Lender in writing of the contents of each Aggregate Commitment or Borrower Sublimit

38

reduction notice, Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice and repayment notice received by it hereunder. The Agent will notify the applicable Borrower and each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Eurodollar Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Borrower and each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.

2.18. Lending Installations . Each Lender may, subject to its obligations under Section 3.7, book its Loans at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Loans and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of any such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written notice to the Agent and the Borrowers in accordance with Article XIII, designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made.

2.19. Non -Receipt of Funds by the Agent . Unless the applicable Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Agent prior to the date on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or any payment under Section 2.4(e) or (ii) in the case of a Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or such Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Agent, repay to the Agent the amount so made available, together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Agent until the date the Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day for the first three days and, thereafter, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan or (y) in the case of payment by a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.

2.20. Replacement of Lender . If (a) either Borrower is required pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 to make any additional payment to any Lender, (b) any Lender’s obligation to make or continue, or to convert Floating Rate Advances into, Eurodollar Advances shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.3, (c) any Lender is a Declining Lender, (d) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or has a direct or indirect parent company that is the subject of a Bankruptcy Event, (e) any Lender invokes Section 9.2 or (f) any Lender has advised that it will not consent to any waiver or amendment of this Agreement that requires the approval of all the Lenders or all affected Lenders and, upon the replacement of such non-consenting Lender, the Lender replacing such non-consenting Lender shall consent to any such waiver or amendment and such approval (as to all Lenders or as to all affected Lenders, as applicable) shall be obtained (any Lender subject to any of the foregoing clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) being an “ Affected Lender ”), the Borrowers may elect (i) in the case of the foregoing clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) (but only if such additional payment continues to be required, such suspension continues to be effective, such Lender continues to be a Declining Lender, such Lender continues to be a Defaulting Lender or the direct or indirect parent company of such Lender continues to be the subject of a Bankruptcy Event or Section 9.2 continues to be invoked), to terminate the Commitment of such

39

Affected Lender (without affecting the Commitments of the other Lenders), or (ii) in all cases, to replace such Affected Lender and its Commitment (including with one or more Lenders (which may be current Lenders) having lesser, equivalent or greater aggregate Commitments than those of the Affected Lenders being so replaced); provided that (A) in the case of any termination of the Commitment of an Affected Lender, no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such termination, (B) in the case of any replacement of an Affected Lender, one or more banks or other entities which are approved by the Borrowers, the Agent and each Issuing Bank (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall purchase for cash at face amount the Outstanding Credit Exposure of the Affected Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption substantially in the form of Exhibit C (and, if not already a Lender, shall become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement) and assume the Commitment (or the applicable portion thereof) and all obligations of the Affected Lender as of the time of such replacement and comply with the requirements of Section 12.1 applicable to assignments, and (C) in the case of any termination or replacement of the Commitment of an Affected Lender, each Borrower shall pay to such Affected Lender in immediately available funds on the day of termination or replacement, to the extent not paid by a replacement Lender pursuant to the preceding clause (B), all principal, interest, fees and other amounts (other than unasserted contingent indemnity obligations) then outstanding or accrued but unpaid for the account of such Affected Lender to the extent constituting Obligations of such Borrower hereunder, including payments due to such Affected Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5, and, except in the case of a Defaulting Lender, an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such termination or replacement under Section 3.4 had the Loans of such Affected Lender been prepaid on such date pursuant to Section 2.8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers may not terminate the Commitment of an Affected Lender if, after giving effect to such termination, (x) the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure would exceed the Aggregate Commitment (as then in effect giving effect to any increases thereof effected in accordance with the terms hereof) or (y) the Borrower Credit Exposure of either Borrower would exceed the Borrower Sublimit of such Borrower, in each case, giving effect to all prepayments of the Obligations to be made in connection therewith.

2.21. Extension of Maturity Date . The Company, on behalf of both Borrowers, may, on not more than two occasions during the term of this Agreement, by written notice to the Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders) delivered not fewer than 45 days, and not more than 90 days (or such shorter or longer period, respectively, as may otherwise be agreed to by the Agent and the Company), before any anniversary of the Restatement Effective Date, request that the Lenders extend the then effective Maturity Date (the “ Existing Maturity Date ”) for an additional period of one year, effective as of a date specified in such notice. Each Lender shall, by notice to the Company and the Agent given not later than the 20th day after the date of the Agent’s receipt of the Company’s notice, advise the Company whether or not it agrees to the requested extension (each Lender agreeing to a requested extension being called a “ Consenting Lender ” and each Lender declining to agree to a requested extension being called a “ Declining Lender ”). Any Lender that has not so advised the Company and the Agent by such day shall be deemed to have declined to agree to such extension and shall be a Declining Lender. If Lenders constituting the Required Lenders shall have agreed to a Maturity Date extension request, then the Maturity Date shall, as to the Consenting Lenders, be extended to the first anniversary of the Existing Maturity Date. The decision of any Lender to agree or withhold agreement to any extension request shall be at the sole discretion of such Lender. The

40

Commitment of any Declining Lender shall terminate on the Existing Maturity Date. The principal amount of any outstanding Loans made by Declining Lenders, together with any accrued interest thereon and any accrued fees and other amounts payable to or for the accounts of such Declining Lenders hereunder, shall (in each case, solely with respect to such Declining Lenders and no other Lenders) be due and payable on the Existing Maturity Date, and on the Existing Maturity Date each Borrower shall also make such other prepayments of its Loans as shall be required in order that, after giving effect to such prepayments and to the termination of the Commitments of, and all payments to, Declining Lenders pursuant to this sentence, (a) the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment, (b) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender shall not exceed its Commitment and (c) the Borrower Credit Exposure of either Borrower shall not exceed the Borrower Sublimit of such Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no extension of the Maturity Date shall become effective under this Section unless (i) on the effective date of such extension, the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 (it being understood and agreed that (A) all references to the “Credit Extension Date” therein shall be deemed to refer to such effective date and (B) all references to the “Restatement Effective Date” in (x) Section 4.2.2 as it relates to Sections 5.5, 5.7 and 5.12(ii) and (y) in Sections 5.5, 5.7 and 5.12(ii) shall be deemed to refer to such effective date for purposes of determining satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 as of such date) shall be satisfied as of such date (as though the effectiveness of such extension were a Credit Extension) and (ii) the Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such effective date and executed by an Authorized Officer of the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit expiring after the Existing Maturity Date, or to amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit such that it would expire after the Existing Maturity Date, unless such Issuing Bank shall have consented to the applicable Maturity Date extension (such consent to be deemed given if such Issuing Bank is a Consenting Lender).

2.22. Defaulting Lenders .

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply:

41

(b) If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to the parent company of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) any Issuing Bank shall have a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, such Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuing Bank shall have entered into arrangements with the applicable Borrower or such Lender reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank to mitigate the risk to it in respect of such Lender failing to satisfy its participating interest therein.

(c) In the event that the Agent, each Borrower and each Issuing Bank shall agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of the other Lenders as the Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, and all cash collateral then being held pursuant to Section 2.22(a)(v) above in connection with the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be released and returned to the applicable Borrower.

42

(d) Except as expressly provided in this Section 2.22 in connection with the obligations of the Issuing Banks, the obligation of each Lender and Issuing Bank to fund the full amount of its Commitment and to make Loans, Advances and other extensions of credit hereunder shall not be released or diminished in any respect by any other Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender.

(e) None of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.22 shall be deemed to effect, diminish or release any rights, claims or causes of action the Borrowers may have against any Lender that becomes a Defaulting Lender.

2.23. Commitment Increases .

(a) The Borrowers may from time to time (and more than one time), by written notice to the Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), executed by the Borrowers and one or more financial institutions (any such financial institution referred to in this Section being called an “ Augmenting Lender ”), which may include any Lender, cause new Commitments to be extended by the Augmenting Lenders or cause the existing Commitments of the Augmenting Lenders to be increased, as the case may be (the aggregate amount of such increase for all Augmenting Lenders on any single occasion being referred to as a “ Commitment Increase ”), in an amount for each Augmenting Lender set forth in such notice; provided that (i) the amount of each Commitment Increase shall be not less than $10,000,000, except to the extent necessary to utilize the remaining unused amount of increase permitted under this Section 2.23(a) and (ii) the Aggregate Commitment shall not exceed $1,200,000,000 after giving effect to the effectiveness of any Commitment Increase. The decision of any Lender to become an Augmenting Lender shall be at the sole discretion of such Lender. Each Augmenting Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Agent and each Issuing Bank (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and shall not be subject to the approval of any other Lenders, and the Borrowers and each Augmenting Lender shall execute all such documentation as the Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Commitment of such Augmenting Lender and/or its status as a Lender hereunder (such documentation in respect of any Commitment Increase together with the notice of such Commitment Increase being referred to collectively as the “ Commitment Increase Amendment ” in respect of such Commitment Increase).

(b) Upon each Commitment Increase pursuant to this Section, (i) each Lender immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Augmenting Lender providing a portion of such Commitment Increase, and each such Augmenting Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit such that, after giving effect to such Commitment Increase and each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations hereunder in Letters of Credit held by each Lender (including each such Augmenting Lender) will (subject to Section 2.22) equal such Lender’s Pro Rata Share and (ii) if, on the date of such Commitment Increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding, the parties hereto shall, at the request of the Agent, take actions agreed upon by the Agent and the Company that will result, within a period acceptable to the Agent and the Company, in the outstanding Revolving Loans

43

being held by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their Commitments. In determining the actions to be taken (which may include the prepayment and reborrowing of all or a portion of such Revolving Loans and/or the making of Revolving Loans on a non-pro-rata basis by Augmenting Lenders for the balance of Interest Periods in progress and at rates reflecting the Eurodollar Base Rate at the time for loans of such duration), the Agent and the Lenders will endeavor to minimize breakage costs for which the Borrowers must compensate the Lenders to the extent practicable without undue complexity or administrative burdens on the Agent or the Lenders. The Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(c) Commitment Increases and new Commitments created pursuant to this Section 2.23 shall become effective on the date specified in the notice delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to the first sentence of paragraph (a) above or on such other date as agreed upon by the Borrowers, the Agent and the applicable Augmenting Lenders.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Commitments (or in any Commitment of any Lender) or addition of an Augmenting Lender shall become effective under this Section unless (i) on the date of such increase, the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 (it being understood and agreed that (A) all references to “Credit Extension Date” therein shall be deemed to refer to the date of such Commitment Increase and (B) all references to the “Restatement Effective Date” in Sections 5.5, 5.7 and 5.12(ii) shall be deemed to refer to the date of such Commitment Increase) shall be satisfied as of such date (as though the effectiveness of such increase were a Credit Extension) and the Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by an Authorized Officer of the Company, and (ii) the actions referred to in paragraph (b)(ii) of this Section 2.23 shall have been agreed upon by the Agent and the Company ( provided , however , that the prepayment and reborrowing on the date of such Commitment Increase of all Revolving Loans then outstanding shall be deemed to satisfy the condition specified in this clause (ii)).

ARTICLE III

YIELD PROTECTION; TAXES

3.1. Yield Protection . If any Change in Law:

(a) subjects any Recipient to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes) on its Loans, Loan principal, Letters of Credit, Commitment or other obligations hereunder, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or

(b) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any applicable Lending Installation (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Advances), or

44

(c) imposes on any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any applicable Lending Installation or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or such Lending Installation or any Letter of Credit or participation therein,

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lending Installation of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining its Commitment, any Loan or Letter of Credit or any participation therein or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lending Installation hereunder, then, within 15 days after the submission of the written statement required by Section 3.6 by the Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lending Installation (and otherwise subject to the terms of Section 3.6), the Borrowers shall pay the Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lending Installation such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it for such increased cost or reduction in amount received.

3.2. Changes in Capital Adequacy and Liquidity Requirements . If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Bank or any Lending Installation of such Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has had or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then, within 15 days after the submission of the written statement required by Section 3.6 by such Lender or Issuing Bank (and otherwise subject to the terms of Section 3.6), the Borrowers shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank the amount applicable to such Borrower necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

3.3. Availability of Types of Advances . If prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the Agent shall give facsimile or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders that:

(a) the Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Advances for such Interest Period, or

(b) the Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the interest rate for Eurodollar Advances determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively determined by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Eurodollar Advances during such Interest Period, then (x) any Eurodollar Advances requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Floating Rate Advances, (y) any Floating Rate Advances that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Advances shall be

45

continued as Floating Rate Advances and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Advances shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to Floating Rate Advances. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Agent, no further Eurodollar Advances shall be made or continued as such, nor shall any Borrower have the right to convert Floating Rate Advances to Eurodollar Advances.

3.4. Funding Indemnification . If any payment of a Eurodollar Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a Eurodollar Advance is not made or continued or a Floating Rate Advance is not converted into a Eurodollar Advance on the date specified by the applicable Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders, a Eurodollar Advance is not prepaid on the date specified by such Borrower for any reason, or a Eurodollar Advance is prepaid by such Borrower without such Borrower providing at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Agent for any reason, such Borrower will severally, and not jointly with the other Borrower, indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by such Lender resulting therefrom, including any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain such Eurodollar Advance as determined by such Lender (if and to the extent such Lender, in its sole discretion, elects to impose such a charge). Such loss or cost to any Lender in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain any such Eurodollar Advance shall be an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Eurodollar Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan (but not including the Applicable Margin applicable thereto), for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit at the commencement of such period for a comparable period with leading banks in the London interbank eurodollar market. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Defaulting Lender required to assign its Loans pursuant to Section 2.20 shall not be entitled to compensation under this Section 3.4 in connection with any such assignment.

3.5. Taxes .

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of each Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by each Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.5) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by either Borrower to a governmental authority pursuant to this Section 3.5, such Borrower shall deliver to the Agent the original or a

46

certified copy of a receipt issued by such governmental authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(b) The Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.

(c) The Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 20 days after written demand therefor (in each case setting forth the basis therefor and the manner of determination thereof), for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.5) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to either Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within 20 days after written demand therefor (in each case setting forth the basis therefor and the manner of determination thereof), for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.1(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender, as applicable, by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this Section 3.5(d).

(e) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times set forth herein or as are reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the applicable Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 3.5(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

47

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to such Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter as set forth herein or upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter as set forth herein or upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

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

(3) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “ U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate ”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

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

48

(C) any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to each Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter as set forth herein or upon the reasonable request of either Borrower or the Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers and the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document 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 Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to each Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by either Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by either Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for Borrowers 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 (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.5 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.5), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.5 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 3.5(f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.5(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 3.5(f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 3.5(f) shall not be

49

construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(g) Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.5 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(h) For purposes of this Section 3.5, (i) the term “Lender” includes any applicable Lending Installation and any Issuing Bank and (ii) the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(i) For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Restatement Effective Date, the Borrowers and the Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Agent to treat) the Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

3.6. Statements as to Claims; Survival of Indemnity . The Agent, each Lender or each Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall deliver a written statement to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) as to each amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5. Such written statement shall set forth an explanation in reasonable detail of the manner in which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on such Borrower in the absence of manifest error, and upon the reasonable request of such Borrower, such Lender shall promptly provide supporting documentation describing and/or evidencing the applicable event giving rise to such amount to the extent not inconsistent with such Lender’s policies or applicable law. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Eurodollar Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type, currency and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable within 15 days (or, in the case of Section 3.5, 20 days) after receipt by the applicable Borrower of such written statement, unless subject to a good faith dispute by such Borrower, notice and details of which were provided to the affected Lender prior to such due date. The obligations of each Borrower under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Borrowers shall not be responsible for any reimbursement of any such amount under Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5 which shall have accrued and of which the Agent or the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have become aware more than 180 days prior to its delivery to the Borrower of notice requesting reimbursement thereof and (b) none of the Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank will make any claim (nor shall any Borrower have any liability) under Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5 unless the Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall have determined that the making of such claim is consistent with its general practices under similar circumstances in respect of similarly situated borrowers under credit agreements entitling it to make such claims.

3.7. Alternative Lending Installation . To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Eurodollar Loans to reduce

50

any liability of the Borrowers to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of Eurodollar Advances under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not, in the judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender. A Lender’s designation of an alternative Lending Installation shall not affect the Borrowers’ rights under Section 2.20 to replace a Lender.

3.8. Allocation of Amounts Payable Among Borrowers . Each amount payable by “the Borrowers” under this Article shall be an obligation of, and shall be discharged by (a) to the extent arising out of acts, events and circumstances related to a particular Borrower, such Borrower and (b) otherwise, both Borrowers, with each Borrower being severally liable for such Borrower’s Contribution Percentage of such amount; provided that the Company agrees that, if the Borrowing Subsidiary shall fail to pay any amount owed by it under clause (b) of this Section after a demand shall have been made by the Person to which such amount is owed, the Company shall promptly pay such amount (the Company hereby irrevocably waiving any defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor of the obligations of such Borrowing Subsidiary under this Section).

Acceleration . If any Default described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 occurs with respect to a Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit hereunder to such Borrower (and, if such Borrower is the Borrowing Subsidiary, to the Company) shall automatically terminate and the Obligations of such Borrower (and, if such Borrower is the Borrowing Subsidiary, of the Company) shall immediately become

69

due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender. If any other Default occurs with respect to a Borrower, the Required Lenders (or the Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders) may terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit hereunder to such Borrower, or declare the Obligations of such Borrower (and, in the case of a Default with respect to a Borrowing Subsidiary, of the Company) to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the Obligations of such Borrower (and, in the case of a Default with respect to the Borrowing Subsidiary, of the Company) shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which such Borrower hereby expressly waives.

If, after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit hereunder as a result of any Default (other than any Default as described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 with respect to such Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, the Required Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Agent shall, by notice to such Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.

8.2. Amendments . None of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each Borrower, the Agent and the Required Lenders and, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Agent and the other party or parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that (i) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by each Borrower and the Agent to correct any administrative or other manifest error, omission, defect or inconsistency so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall have received at least seven Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Agent shall not have received, within seven Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment, (ii) no such agreement shall (A) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (B) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (C) except as expressly otherwise provided herein, postpone the scheduled maturity date of any Loan or LC Disbursement or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (D) change the definition of the term “Pro Rata Share” or change Section 11.2 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender or (E) change any of the provisions of this Section or the percentage set forth in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, and (iii) no such agreement shall amend, modify, extend or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of the Agent or any Issuing Bank without the prior written consent of the Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be.

70

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the applicable Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Agent if, by the terms of such agreement, (i) the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (ii) upon the effectiveness of such amendment, each Lender not consenting to such amendment shall receive payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Advance made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement.

8.3. Preservation of Rights . No omission of the Lenders, the Agent or the Issuing Banks to exercise or delay in exercising any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Credit Extension notwithstanding the existence of a Default or Unmatured Default or the inability of a Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Credit Extension shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by, or by the Agent with the consent of, the requisite number of Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.2, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders until all of the Obligations have been paid in full.

10.2. Powers . The Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent shall have no implied duties or fiduciary duties to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, or any obligation to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Agent. Without limiting any other power granted under any Loan Document, each Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to vote all the interests of the Lenders as a single bloc based upon the direction of the Required Lenders as contemplated by any Loan Document.

77

10.3. General Immunity . Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Borrowers, the Lenders or any Lender or any Issuing Bank for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith except to the extent such action or inaction is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought or (ii) the material breach by such party of its agreements hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (it being agreed, however, that no such breach shall be deemed to occur as a result of any reasonable assertion in good faith by the Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank or any Lender that any condition to any of its obligations hereunder has not been satisfied).

10.4. No Responsibility for Loans, Recitals, etc.  Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any obligor under any Loan Document, including any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly to each Lender and each Issuing Bank; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article IV, except receipt of items required to be delivered solely to the Agent; (d) the existence or possible existence of any Default or Unmatured Default; (e) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (f) the value, sufficiency, creation, perfection or priority of any Lien in any collateral security; or (g) the financial condition of the Borrowers or any guarantor of any of the Obligations or of any of the Borrowers’ or any such guarantor’s respective subsidiaries. The Agent shall have no duty to disclose to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks information that is not required to be furnished by the Borrowers to the Agent at such time, but is voluntarily furnished by the Borrowers to the Agent (either in its capacity as Agent or in its individual capacity).

10.5. Action on Instructions of Lenders . The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders in the event that and to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires such), and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank. The Lenders and each Issuing Bank hereby acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders in the event that and to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires such). The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction in writing by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

Reliance on Documents; Counsel . The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any Note, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, facsimile, statement, paper or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Agent, which counsel may be employees of the Agent.

10.8. Agent ’ s Reimbursement and Indemnification . The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Agent, severally and not jointly, ratably in proportion to the their Pro Rata Shares of the Aggregate Commitment (or, if the Aggregate Commitment has been terminated, of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure) (determined as of the date of any such request by the Agent), (a) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrowers for which the Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrowers under the Loan Documents in its capacity as Agent, (b) to the extent not paid by the Borrowers, for any other expenses incurred by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents (including for any expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with any dispute between the Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders or Issuing Banks) and (c) to the extent not paid by the Borrowers, for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby (including for any such amounts incurred by or asserted against the Agent in connection with any dispute between the Agent and any Lender or between two or more of the Lenders or Issuing Banks), or the enforcement of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or of any such other documents, provided that (i) no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent, (ii) any indemnification required pursuant to Section 3.5(d) shall, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10.8, be paid by the relevant Lender in accordance with the provisions thereof and (iii) the Agent shall reimburse the Lenders for any amounts the Lenders have paid to the extent such amounts are subsequently recovered from the Borrowers. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.8 shall survive payment of the Obligations, termination and expiration of the Letters of Credit and termination of this Agreement.

10.9. Notice of Default . The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder unless the Agent has received written notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement describing such Default or Unmatured Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks.

79

10.10. Rights as a Lender . In the event the Agent is a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document with respect to its Commitment and its Credit Extensions as any Lender or any Issuing Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” or “Issuing Bank” shall, at any time when the Agent is a Lender or an Issuing Bank, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity. The Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with each Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in which such Borrower or such Subsidiary is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person. The Agent, in its individual capacity, is not obligated to remain a Lender.

10.11. Independent Credit Decision . Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender or any other Issuing Bank and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrowers and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

If the Agent has resigned and, at such time, holds cash collateral under this Agreement, the Agent shall continue to hold such cash collateral for the benefit of the Lenders and the applicable Issuing Bank until a successor Agent has been appointed. No successor Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Agent has accepted the appointment. Unless otherwise agreed by the Company, any such successor Agent shall be a Lender or, if no Lender will accept such appointment, a commercial bank having capital and retained earnings of at least $1,000,000,000 (or such lower amount as shall be acceptable to the Company). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,

80

privileges and duties of the resigning Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation of the Agent, the resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of the resignation of the Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

10.13. Agent and Arrangers Fees . Each Borrower severally and not jointly agrees to pay to the Agent and each Arranger, for their respective accounts, the agent and arrangers fees separately agreed to by such Borrowers, the Agent and such Arranger pursuant to and in accordance with those certain fee letters dated as of October 28, 2016 and as otherwise mutually agreed to in writing from time to time.

10.14. Delegation to Affiliates . The Borrowers, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks agree that the Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates (it being agreed that the Agent will remain responsible for the performance of all such duties). Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s directors, officers, agents and employees) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Agent is entitled under Articles IX and X.

10.15. Joint Arrangers, Joint Bookrunners, Syndication Agents and Documentation Agents . The Persons identified in this Agreement as “Joint Arrangers”, “Joint Bookrunners”, “Syndication Agents” and “Documentation Agents”, in such capacities, shall have no right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, such Persons, in such capacities, shall not have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any other Person. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgements with respect to such Persons as it makes with respect to the Agent in Section 10.11.

ARTICLE XI

SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS

11.1. Setoff . In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if any Borrower becomes insolvent or any payment Default pursuant to Section 7.2 occurs with respect to a Borrower, or any other Default with respect to a Borrower shall occur and be continuing and the Required Lenders shall have terminated any Commitments as to such Borrower or accelerated the maturity of any Loans to such Borrower, then any and all deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to or for the credit or account of such Borrower may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing by such Borrower to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, whether or not the Obligations, or any part thereof, shall then be due. Promptly upon the exercise of its right of setoff hereunder, each Lender and Issuing Bank shall deliver written notice thereof to the Agent and the Agent shall make such notice available to the other Lenders and Issuing Banks.

81

11.2. Ratable Payments . If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the amount of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amounts of principal of and accrued interest on their Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to either Borrower, any other Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

[FORM OF]

BORROWERS’ COUNSEL’S OPINION

See attached.

December 7, 2016

To the Lenders and

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent

383 Madison Avenue

New York, NY 10179

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

I, Gregory L. Nelson, am the Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of Ameren Corporation, a Missouri corporation (the “ Company ”), and its subsidiary Union Electric Company, d/b/a Ameren Missouri, a Missouri corporation (“ UE ” and together with the Company, the “ Borrowers ” and each a “ Borrower ”). I, or lawyers under my direction, have acted as counsel for each of the Borrowers in connection with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of December 7, 2016 the “ Credit Agreement ”), among the Borrowers, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “ Lenders ”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

In rendering the opinion expressed below, I, or lawyers under my direction, have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments and have conducted such other investigations of fact and law as I have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion.

In making the examinations described above, I have assumed without independent investigation the capacity of natural persons (other than the office held by each representative of the Borrowers) as reflected adjacent to such individual’s signature on the Credit Agreement and the Notes (each a “ Loan Document ” and collectively, the “ Loan Documents ”), the genuineness of all signatures (other than those of representatives of the Borrowers appearing on the Loan Documents), the authenticity of all documents furnished to me as originals, the conformity to originals of all documents furnished to me as certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of such documents. In addition, I have assumed without independent investigation that (i) the Loan Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Lenders and the Agent, and constitute their valid, lawful and binding obligation and agreement, and (ii) there is no separate agreement, undertaking, or course of dealing modifying, varying or waiving any of the terms of the Loan Documents. As to matters of fact not independently established by me relevant to the opinions set forth herein, I have relied without independent investigation on the representations contained in the Loan Documents and in certificates of public officials and responsible representatives of each Borrower furnished to me; provided , however , that I advise that in the course of my representation of the Borrowers, I have obtained no information that leads me to believe that any such representation or certificate is untrue or misleading in any material respect.

Upon the basis of and subject to the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

1. Each of the Borrowers is a corporation, incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Missouri and has all requisite authority to conduct its business as presently conducted in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted, other than the failure of any such Borrower to be qualified to transact business in any such jurisdiction to the extent such failure could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

2. Each of the Borrowers has the power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party. The execution and delivery by each of the Borrowers of the Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party, and the performance by each of the Borrowers of its obligations under the Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party, have been duly authorized by proper proceedings, and the Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of such Borrower enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and (iii) requirements of reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing.

3. Neither the execution and delivery by the Borrowers of the Loan Documents to which such Borrowers are parties, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated therein, nor the performance by the Borrowers of the obligations thereunder, (x) violate (i) any law, rule, or regulation of the State of Missouri or the United States of America, or any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on such Borrower or (ii) such Borrower’s articles or certificate of incorporation or by-laws, or (iii) the provisions of any indenture, any material instrument or any material agreement to which such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its Property, is bound, or (y) conflict with, or constitute a default under, or result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien in, of or on the Property of such Borrower pursuant to the terms of, any such indenture, instrument or agreement. Except as set forth in opinion paragraph 6 below, no order, consent, adjudication, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, or other action in respect of any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, which has not been obtained by such Borrower, is required to be obtained by such Borrower in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the borrowings and issuances of Letters of Credit for the account of such Borrower under the Loan Documents, the payment and performance by such Borrower of its Obligations or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents with respect to such Borrower.

4. Except for the Disclosed Matters, there is no litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation, proceeding or inquiry currently existing, or, to the best of my knowledge after due inquiry, pending or threatened against or affecting the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries, which, if determined adversely to such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Borrower or which seeks to prevent, enjoin or delay the making of any Loans or would adversely effect the legality, validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents as to such Borrower or the ability of such Borrower to perform the transactions contemplated therein.

- 2 -

5. No Borrower is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

6. The Company is a “holding company” and UE is a “public utility,” as such terms are defined in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005. The FERC, in accordance with Section 204 of the Federal Power Act, has issued a FERC Order dated February 29, 2016, with respect to UE, which is in full force and effect, authorizing the incurrence of short-term indebtedness by UE in an aggregate principal amount outstanding not to exceed $1 billion. The authorization under the February 29, 2016 FERC Order expires March 16, 2018. Unless such authorization is no longer required by applicable laws and regulations, additional authorization from the FERC (or any governmental agency that succeeds to the authority of the FERC) or the Missouri Public Service Commission will be necessary for UE to obtain any Advances under the Credit Agreement or to incur or issue short-term indebtedness, including Advances extended under the Credit Agreement, after March 16, 2018. No regulatory authorizations, approvals, consents, registrations, declarations or filings are required in connection with the borrowings by, and issuances of Letters of Credit for the account of, the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement or the performance by each Borrower of its Obligations under the Credit Agreement and under the other Loan Documents, except as set forth above or where the failure to have obtained, made or maintained any such authorizations, approvals, consents, registrations, declarations or filings could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Borrower.

7. In a properly presented case, a Missouri court or a federal court applying Missouri choice of law rules should give effect to the choice of law provisions of the Loan Documents and should hold that the Loan Documents are to be governed by the laws of the State of New York rather than the laws of the State of Missouri. In rendering the foregoing opinion, I note that by their terms the Loan Documents expressly select New York law as the law governing their interpretation. The choice of law provisions of the Loan Documents are not voidable under the laws of the State of Missouri. Notwithstanding the foregoing, even if a Missouri court or a federal court holds that the Loan Documents are to be governed by the laws of the State of Missouri, the Loan Documents would constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of each of the Borrowers, enforceable under Missouri law (including usury provisions) against such Borrower in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and (iii) requirements of reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing.

I express no opinion as to the compliance or noncompliance, or the effect of the compliance or noncompliance, of any addressee with any state or federal laws or regulations applicable to it by reason of its status as or affiliation with a federally insured depository institution.

I am a member of the Bar of the State of Missouri and the foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Missouri and the Federal laws of the United States of America typically relevant to a transaction of this type. I note that the Loan Documents are governed by the laws of the State of New York and, for purposes of the opinion expressed in opinion paragraph 2 above and with your permission, I have assumed that the laws of the State of New York do not differ from the laws

- 3 -

of the State of Missouri in any manner that would render such opinion incorrect. This opinion is rendered solely to you in connection with the above matter. This opinion may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose or relied upon by any other Person (other than your successors and assigns as Lenders) without my prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything in this opinion letter to the contrary, you may disclose this opinion (i) to prospective successors and assigns of the addressees hereof, (ii) to regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over any of the addressees hereof or their successors and assigns, and (iii) pursuant to valid legal process, in each case without my prior consent.

This opinion is delivered as of the date hereof and I undertake no, and disclaim any, obligation to advise you of any change in matters of law or fact set forth herein or upon which this opinion is based.
