WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Company has requested that the Lenders establish in its favor a revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of U.S. $600,000,000 (as such amount may increase or decrease in accordance with the terms hereof), pursuant to which facility revolving loans would be made to the Company and at its election, the Designated Borrower; and

WHEREAS, the Lenders are willing to make such revolving credit facility available to the Borrowers on the terms and subject to the conditions and requirements hereinafter set forth;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

DEFINITIONS; INTERPRETATION

Section 1.1. Definitions. Unless otherwise defined herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings, which meanings shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms:

“Additional Lender” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 2.13(b).

“Adjusted LIBOR” means, for any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans for any Interest Period, a rate per annum determined in accordance with the following formula:


Adjusted LIBOR	=	LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period
		1.00 - Statutory Reserve Rate

“Administrative Questionnaire” means, with respect to each Lender, an administrative questionnaire in the form prepared by the Administrative Agent and submitted to the Administrative Agent duly completed by such Lender.

“Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any other Person that, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by or is under direct or indirect common control with, such Person. For the purposes of this definition, “control” (including, with correlative meanings, the terms “controlling” and “controlled”), when used with respect to any Person, means the power, directly or indirectly, to direct or cause the direction of management or policies of a Person (through the ownership of voting securities, other equity interests, by contract or otherwise).

“Agreement” means this 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement, as the same may be amended, restated and supplemented from time to time.

“Anti-Corruption Laws” means FCPA and all other laws, rules, and regulations of any jurisdiction applicable to the Company and its affiliated companies concerning or relating to bribery or corruption.

“Applicable Facility Fee Rate” means, for any day, at such times as a rating (either express or implied) by S&P, Xxxxx’x or Fitch is in effect on the Company’s non-credit enhanced senior unsecured long-term debt, the percentage per annum set forth opposite such debt rating:


Debt Rating (S&P and Fitch/Moody’s)	Percentage
A/A2 or above		0.085	%
A-/A3		0.100	%
BBB+/Baa1		0.125	%
BBB/Baa2		0.150	%
BBB-/Baa3 or below		0.200	%

The Applicable Facility Fee Rate will be determined based upon the two highest ratings issued by S&P, Xxxxx’x and Fitch. If such two highest ratings differ (i) by one rating, the higher of such two highest ratings will apply to determine the Applicable Facility Fee Rate so long as the higher rating is from either S&P or Moody’s, otherwise the lower of such two highest ratings will apply, (ii) by two ratings, the rating which falls between such two highest ratings will apply to determine the Applicable Facility Fee Rate, or (iii) by more than two ratings, the rating which is one level above the lower of such two highest ratings will apply to determine the Applicable Facility Fee Rate. If only one such rating is issued by S&P, Moody’s or Fitch, the Applicable Facility Fee Rate will be determined by such rating. The Company shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent of any changes to such ratings, within three (3) Business Days thereof, and any change to the Applicable Facility Fee Rate shall be effective on the date of

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall at any time fail to have in effect at least one such rating on the Company’s non-credit enhanced senior unsecured long-term debt, the Company shall seek and obtain (if not already in effect), within thirty (30) days after such rating first ceases to be in effect, a corporate credit rating or a bank loan rating from Fitch, Xxxxx’x and/or S&P (or if none of Fitch, Xxxxx’x and S&P issue such types of ratings or ratings comparable thereto, from another nationally recognized rating agency approved by each of the Company and the Administrative Agent), and the Applicable Facility Fee Rate shall thereafter be based on such ratings in the same manner as provided herein with respect to the Company’s non-credit enhanced senior unsecured long-term debt rating (with the Applicable Facility Fee Rate in effect prior to the issuance of such corporate credit rating or bank loan rating being the same as the Applicable Facility Fee Rate in effect at the time the non-credit enhanced senior unsecured long-term debt rating ceases to be in effect).

“Applicable Margin” means, for any day, at such times as a rating (either express or implied) by S&P, Xxxxx’x or Fitch is in effect on the Company’s non-credit enhanced senior unsecured long-term debt, the percentage per annum set forth opposite such debt rating:


	Percentage
Debt Rating (S&P and Fitch/Moody’s)	Base Rate			LIBOR Rate
A/A2 or above		0.000	%		0.790	%
A-/A3		0.000	%		0.900	%

The Applicable Margin will be determined based upon the two highest ratings issued by S&P, Xxxxx’x and Fitch. If such two highest ratings differ (i) by one rating, the higher of such two highest ratings will apply to determine the Applicable Margin so long as the higher rating is from either S&P or Moody’s, otherwise the lower of such two highest ratings will apply, (ii) by two ratings, the rating which falls between such two highest ratings will apply to determine the Applicable Margin, or (iii) by more than two ratings, the rating which is one level above the lower of such two highest ratings will apply to determine the Applicable Margin. If only one such rating is issued by S&P, Moody’s or Fitch, the Applicable Margin will be determined by such rating. The Company shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent of any changes to such ratings, within three (3) Business Days thereof, and any change to the Applicable Margin shall be effective on the date of the relevant change. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall at any time fail to have in effect any such rating on the Company’s non-credit enhanced senior unsecured long-term debt, the Company shall seek and obtain (if not already in effect), within thirty (30) days after such rating first ceases to be in effect, a corporate credit rating or a bank loan rating from Fitch, Xxxxx’x and/or S&P (or if none of Fitch, Xxxxx’x and S&P issue such types of ratings or ratings comparable thereto, from another nationally recognized rating agency approved by each of the Company and the Administrative Agent), and the Applicable Margin shall thereafter be based on such ratings in the same manner as provided

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

ARTICLE 2

THE CREDIT FACILITIES

Section 2.1. Commitments for Revolving Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make one or more loans (each a “Revolving Loan”) to the Borrowers from time to time prior to the Commitment Termination Date applicable to such Lender on a revolving basis in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding an amount equal to its Commitment, subject to any increases or reductions thereof pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that no Lender shall be required to make any Revolving Loan if, after giving effect thereto, (i) the sum of the Swingline Exposure plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans of all Lenders would thereby exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount then in effect or (ii) the Revolving Credit Exposure of such Lender would thereby exceed its Commitment then in effect. Each Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be made ratably from the Lenders in proportion to their respective Percentages. Revolving Loans of each Lender may be repaid, in whole or in part, and all or any portion of the principal amounts thereof reborrowed, before the Commitment Termination Date applicable to such Lender, subject to the terms and conditions hereof. Funding of any Revolving Loans shall be in U.S. Dollars.

Section 2.2. Types of Revolving Loans and Minimum Borrowing Amounts. Borrowings of Revolving Loans may be outstanding as either Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, as selected by the Company pursuant to Section 2.3. Each Borrowing of Base Rate Loans shall be in an amount of not less than $1,000,000 and each Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans shall be in an amount of not less than $5,000,000 and in an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple.

Section 2.3. Manner of Borrowings; Continuations and Conversions of Borrowings.

(a) Notice of Revolving Loan Borrowings. The Company shall give notice to the Administrative Agent by no later than (i) 12:00 P.M. at least three (3) Business Days before the date on which the Company requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans, and (ii) 12:00 P.M. on the date the Company requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, in each case pursuant to a duly completed Borrowing Request substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.3 (each a “Borrowing Request”) executed by the Company.

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

(b) Notice of Continuation or Conversion of Outstanding Borrowings. The Company may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Revolving Loan Borrowing or, subject to the minimum amount requirements in Section 2.2 for each outstanding Revolving Loan Borrowing, a portion thereof, as follows: (i) if such Borrowing is of Eurocurrency Loans, the Company may continue part or all of such Borrowing as Eurocurrency Loans for an Interest Period specified by the Company or convert part or all of such Borrowing into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or the Company may earlier convert part or all of such Borrowing into Base Rate Loans so long as it pays the breakage fees and funding losses provided in Section 2.11; and (ii) if such Borrowing is of Base Rate Loans, the Company may convert all or part of such Borrowing into Eurocurrency Loans for an Interest Period specified by the Company on any Business Day, in each case pursuant to notices of continuation or conversion as set forth below. The Company may select multiple Interest Periods for the Eurocurrency Loans constituting any such particular Borrowing, provided that at no time shall the number of different Interest Periods for outstanding Eurocurrency Loans exceed ten (10) (it being understood for such purposes that (x) Interest Periods of the same duration, but commencing on different dates, shall be counted as different Interest Periods, and (y) all Interest Periods commencing on the same date and of the same duration shall be counted as one Interest Period regardless of the number of Borrowings or Loans involved). Notices of the continuation of such Eurocurrency Loans for an additional Interest Period or of the conversion of part or all of such Eurocurrency Loans into Base Rate Loans or of such Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Loans must be given by no later than (A) 12:00 P.M. at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such continuation of, or conversion to, Eurocurrency Loans and (B) 12:00 P.M. on the date of any conversion of Eurocurrency Loans to Base Rate Loans.

(c) Manner of Notice. The Company shall give such notices concerning the advance, continuation, or conversion of a Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.3 by telephone or facsimile (which notice shall be irrevocable once given and, if by telephone, shall be promptly confirmed in writing) pursuant to a Borrowing Request which shall specify the date of the requested advance, continuation or conversion (which shall be a Business Day), the amount of the requested Borrowing, whether such Borrowing is to be advanced, continued, or converted, the Type of Loans to comprise such new, continued or converted Borrowing, if such Borrowing is to be comprised of Eurocurrency Loans and the Interest Period applicable thereto and the applicable Borrower. The Company agrees that the Administrative Agent may rely on any such telephonic or facsimile notice given by any Person it in good faith believes is an authorized representative of the Company without the necessity of independent investigation and that, if any such notice by telephone conflicts with any written confirmation, such telephonic notice shall govern if the Administrative Agent has acted in reliance thereon.

(d) Notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic, telex or facsimile notice to each Lender of any notice received pursuant to this Section 2.3 relating to a Revolving Loan Borrowing. The Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Company and each Lender by like means of the interest rate applicable to each Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans (but, if such notice is given by telephone, the Administrative Agent shall confirm such rate in writing) promptly after the Administrative Agent has made such determination.

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

(e) Company’s Failure to Notify. If the Company fails to give notice pursuant to Section 2.3(a) or (b) of the continuation or conversion of any outstanding principal amount of a Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans, and has not notified the Administrative Agent by 12:00 P.M. at least three (3) Business Days before the last day of the Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans that it intends to repay such Borrowing, the Company shall be deemed to have requested for such Borrower the continuation of such Borrowing as a Eurocurrency Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a result of such Borrowing but otherwise disregarding the conditions to Borrowings set forth in Section 4.2. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and upon notice thereof, if so directed by the Required Lenders, from the Administrative Agent to the Company (i) each Eurocurrency Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, convert into a Base Rate Loan, and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, continue or convert Loans into Eurocurrency Loans shall be suspended during the continuance of such Event of Default.

(f) Conversion. If the Company shall elect to convert any particular Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.3 from one Type of Loan to the other only in part, then, from and after the date on which such conversion shall be effective, such particular Borrowing shall, for all purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, for purposes of subsequent application of this sentence) be deemed to instead constitute two Borrowings (each originally advanced on the same date as such particular Borrowing), one comprised of (subject to subsequent conversion in accordance with this Agreement) Eurocurrency Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of such Borrowing so elected by the Company to be comprised of Eurocurrency Loans and the second comprised of (subject to subsequent conversion in accordance with this Agreement) Base Rate Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of such particular Borrowing so elected by the Company to be comprised of Base Rate Loans. If the Company shall elect to have multiple Interest Periods apply to any such particular Borrowing comprised of Eurocurrency Loans, then, from and after the date such multiple Interest Periods commence, such particular Borrowing shall, for all purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, for purposes of subsequent application of this sentence), be deemed to constitute a number of separate Borrowings (each originally commencing on the same date as such particular Borrowing) equal to the number of, and corresponding to, the different Interest Periods so selected, each such deemed separate Borrowing corresponding to a particular selected Interest Period comprised of (subject to subsequent conversion in accordance with this Agreement) Eurocurrency Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of such particular Borrowing so elected by the Company to have such Interest Period. This Section 2.3(f) shall be applied appropriately in the event that the Company shall make the elections described in the two preceding sentences at the same time with respect to the same particular Borrowing.

Section 2.4. Interest Periods. As provided in Section 2.3, at the time of each request for a Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans, or for the continuation or conversion of any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans, the Company shall select the Interest Period(s) to be applicable to such Loans from among the available options, subject to the limitations in Section 2.3; provided, however, that:

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

(i) the Company may not select an Interest Period that extends beyond the Commitment Termination Date;

(ii) whenever the last day of any Interest Period would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, the last day of such Interest Period shall either be (i) extended to the next succeeding Business Day, or (ii) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans only, reduced to the immediately preceding Business Day if the next succeeding Business Day is in the next calendar month; and

(iii) for purposes of determining an Interest Period, a month means a period starting on one day in a calendar month and ending on the numerically corresponding day in the next calendar month; provided, however, that if there is no such numerically corresponding day in the month in which an Interest Period is to end or if an Interest Period begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month, then in the case of Eurocurrency Loans only, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month in which such Interest Period is to end.

Section 2.5. Funding of Loans.

(a) Disbursement of Loans. Not later than 12:00 P.M. with respect to Eurocurrency Loans, and 2:00 P.M. with respect to Base Rate Revolving Loans, on the date of any requested advance of a new Borrowing of Loans, each Lender, subject to all other provisions hereof, shall make available for the account of its applicable Lending Office its Loan comprising its portion of such Borrowing in funds immediately available for the benefit of the Administrative Agent in the applicable Administrative Agent’s Account and according to the payment instructions of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly make the proceeds of each such Borrowing available in immediately available funds to the applicable Borrower (or as directed in writing by the Company) on such date. In the event that any Lender does not make such amounts available to the Administrative Agent by the time prescribed above, but such amount is received later that day, such amount shall nevertheless be promptly credited to the applicable Borrower in the manner described in the preceding sentence (and if such credit is made on the next Business Day, with interest on such amount to begin accruing hereunder on such next Business Day); provided that acceptance by any Borrower of any such late amount shall not be deemed a waiver by such Borrower of any rights it may have against such Lender. No Lender shall be responsible to any Borrower for any failure by another Lender to fund its portion of a Borrowing, and no such failure by a Lender shall relieve any other Lender from its obligation, if any, to fund its portion of a Borrowing.

(b) Administrative Agent Reliance on Lender Funding. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender prior to the time at which such Lender is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of a Loan (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such Lender does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such payment when due and in reliance upon such assumption may (but shall not be required to) make available to the applicable Borrower the proceeds of the Loan to be made by such Lender and, if any Lender has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall, on demand,

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

pay to the Administrative Agent the amount made available to the applicable Borrower attributable to such Lender together with interest thereon for each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available to the applicable Borrower and ending on (but excluding) the date such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to the Administrative Agent’s cost of funds for such amount. If such amount is not received from such Lender by the Administrative Agent immediately upon demand, the applicable Borrower will, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of the Loan attributable to such Lender with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan, but the applicable Borrower will in no event be liable to pay any amounts otherwise due pursuant to Section 2.11 in respect of such repayment. Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from any obligation to fund any Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which any Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

Section 2.6. Applicable Interest Rates.

(a) Base Rate Loans. Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 365-day year or 366-day year, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed including the first day but excluding the date of repayment) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is made until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or conversion to a Eurocurrency Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate, or (ii) the Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin. Each Borrower agrees to pay such interest on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

(b) Eurocurrency Loans. Each Eurocurrency Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed, including the first day but excluding the date of repayment) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is made until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, conversion to a Base Rate Loan at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate, or (ii) the sum of Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin. Each Borrower agrees to pay such interest on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, conversion to a Base Rate Loan.

(c) Swingline Loans. Each Swingline Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 365-day year or 366-day year, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed including the first day but excluding the date of repayment) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is made until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate, or (ii) the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Each Borrower agrees to pay such interest on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

(d) Rate Determinations. The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder insofar as such interest rate involves a determination of Base Rate, Adjusted LIBOR, LIBOR Rate or LIBOR Market Index Rate, or any applicable default rate pursuant to Section 2.7, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding except in the case of the Administrative Agent’s manifest error or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Company and each Lender of each determination of Adjusted LIBOR, with respect to each Eurocurrency Loan.

Section 2.7. Default Rate. If any payment of principal on any Loan is not made when due after the expiration of the grace period therefor provided in Section 7.1(a) (whether by acceleration or otherwise), such past due Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a year of 360, 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and actual days elapsed) after any such grace period expires until such principal then due is paid in full, which each Borrower agrees to pay on demand, at a rate per annum equal to:

(a) (i) for any Base Rate Loan, the lesser of (A) the Highest Lawful Rate, or (B) the sum of two percent (2%) per annum plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect (but not less than the Base Rate in effect at the time such payment was due) plus the Applicable Margin, and (ii) for any Swingline Loan, the lesser of (A) the Highest Lawful Rate, or (B) the sum of two percent (2%) per annum plus the LIBOR Market Index Rate from time to time in effect (but not less than the LIBOR Market Index Rate in effect at the time such payment was due) plus the Applicable Margin; and

(b) for any Eurocurrency Loan, the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate, or (ii) the sum of two percent (2%) per annum plus the rate of interest (inclusive of the Applicable Margin) in effect thereon at the time of such default until the end of the Interest Period for such Loan and, thereafter, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of two percent (2%) per annum plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect (but not less than the Base Rate in effect at the time such payment was due) plus the Applicable Margin.

It is the intention of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to conform strictly to usury laws applicable to them. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby or any Loan or other Obligation would be usurious as to any of the Lenders under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of New York or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Credit Document), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Notes or any other Credit Document, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under laws applicable to such Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Lender under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Credit Document or otherwise shall under no circumstances exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, and any excess shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Loans (or, if the principal amount of the Loans shall have been paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the applicable Borrower); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the Loans is accelerated by reason of an election of the holder or holders thereof resulting from any Event of Default hereunder or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under laws applicable to such Lender may never include more than the Highest Lawful Rate, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement, the Notes, any other Credit Document or otherwise shall be automatically canceled by such Lender as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Loans (or if the principal amount of the Loans shall have been paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the applicable Borrower).

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

Section 2.8. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) Repayment of Loans. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, on the Commitment Termination Date, the unpaid amount of each Revolving Loan made by such Lender to such Borrower then outstanding. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Swingline Lender the unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan to such Borrower no later than the Commitment Termination Date.

(b) Record of Loans by Lenders. 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 to such Borrower by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and accrued interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c) Record of Loans by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or accrued interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the applicable Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) Evidence of Obligations. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Notes. The Revolving Loans outstanding to each Borrower from any Lender shall, at the written request of such Lender, be evidenced by a promissory note of the applicable Borrower payable to such Lender in the form of Exhibit 2.8A (each a “Revolving Note”). Each Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Lender requesting one or more promissory notes as aforesaid, an original of each such promissory note, appropriately completed, to evidence the respective Loans made by such Lender to such Borrower hereunder, within ten (10) Business Days after the Company receives a written request therefor. The Swingline Loans outstanding to each Borrower shall be evidenced by a promissory note of each Borrower payable to the Swingline Lender in the form of Exhibit 2.8B (a “Swingline Note”).

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

(f) Recording of Loans and Payments on Notes. Each holder of a Note shall record on its books and records or on a schedule to its appropriate Note (and prior to any transfer of its Notes shall endorse thereon or on schedules forming a part thereof appropriate notations to evidence) the amount of each Loan outstanding from it to the maker thereof, all payments of principal and interest and the principal balance from time to time outstanding thereon, the Type of such Loan and, if a Eurocurrency Loan the Interest Period and interest rate applicable thereto. Such record, whether shown on the books and records of a holder of a Note or on a schedule to its Note, shall be prima facie evidence as to all such matters; provided, however, that the failure of any holder to record any of the foregoing or any error in any such record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of each Borrower to repay all Loans outstanding to such Borrower hereunder together with accrued interest thereon. At the request of any holder of a Note and upon such holder tendering to the applicable Borrower the Note to be replaced, the applicable Borrower shall furnish a new Note to such holder to replace any outstanding Note and at such time the first notation appearing on the schedule on the reverse side of, or attached to, such new Note shall set forth the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans, if any, then outstanding thereon.

Section 2.9. Optional Prepayments. Each Borrower shall have the privilege of prepaying any Base Rate Loans or Swingline Loans without premium or penalty at any time in whole or at any time and from time to time in part (but, if in part, then in an amount which is equal to or greater than $1,000,000); provided, however, that the Company shall have given notice of such prepayment to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 P.M. on the date of such prepayment. Each Borrower shall have the privilege of prepaying any Eurocurrency Loans (a) without premium or penalty in whole or in part (but, if in part, then in an amount which is equal to or greater than $5,000,000 and in an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple or such smaller amount as needed to prepay a particular Borrowing in full) only on the last Business Day of an Interest Period for such Loan, and (b) at any other time without premium or penalty except for the breakage fees and funding losses that are required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.11; provided, however, that the Company shall have given notice of such prepayment to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 P.M. at least three (3) Business Days before the last Business Day of such Interest Period or the proposed prepayment date (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion). A notice delivered under this Section 2.9 may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the closing of one or more securities offerings, in which case such notice shall be deemed rescinded if such condition shall fail to be satisfied by the proposed effective date of such prepayment and; provided, that upon any such rescission such Borrower shall be liable for any breakage fees and funding losses that are required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.11. Any such prepayments shall be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid and accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of such prepayment. Optional prepayments shall be applied to the Obligations then outstanding in the order specified by the Company.

Section 2.10. Mandatory Prepayments of Loans. In the event and on each occasion that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans exceeds the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount then in effect, then the Company or the Designated Borrower, as appropriate, shall promptly prepay Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. Immediately upon determining the need to make any such prepayment, the Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of such required prepayment and of the identity of the particular Revolving Loans being prepaid. If the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company that the Administrative Agent has determined that any prepayment is

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

required under this Section 2.10, the Company or the Designated Borrower, as appropriate, shall make such prepayment no later than the second Business Day following such notice. Any mandatory prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant hereto shall not be limited by the notice provision for prepayments set forth in Section 2.9. Each such prepayment shall be accompanied by a payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans prepaid and, in the case of prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans, any applicable breakage fees and funding losses pursuant to Section 2.11.

Section 2.11. Breakage Fees. If any Lender incurs any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits and other indirect or consequential damages) by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain any Eurocurrency Loan as a result of any of the following events other than any such occurrence as a result of a change of circumstance described in Sections 8.1 or 8.2:

(a) any payment, prepayment or conversion of any such Loan on a date other than the last day of its Interest Period (whether by acceleration, mandatory prepayment or otherwise);

(b) any failure to make a principal payment of any such Loan on the due date therefor; or

(c) any failure by any Borrower to borrow, continue or prepay, or convert to, any such Loan on the date specified in a notice given pursuant to Section 2.3 (other than by reason of a default of such Lender),

then the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amount as will reimburse such Lender for such loss, cost or expense. If any Lender makes such a claim for compensation, it shall provide to the Company a certificate executed by an officer of such Lender setting forth the amount of such loss, cost or expense in reasonable detail (including an explanation of the basis for and the computation of such loss, cost or expense) no later than ninety (90) days after the event giving rise to the claim for compensation, and the amounts shown on such certificate shall be prima facie evidence of such Lender’s entitlement thereto. Within ten (10) days of receipt of such certificate, the applicable Borrower shall pay directly to such Lender such amount as will compensate such Lender for such loss, cost or expense as provided herein, unless such Lender has failed to timely give notice to the Company of such claim for compensation as provided herein, in which event no Borrower shall have any obligation to pay such claim.

Section 2.12. Commitment Terminations. The Company shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon three (3) Business Days’ prior and irrevocable written notice (provided, such notice may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the closing of one or more securities offerings, in which case such notice shall be deemed rescinded if such condition shall fail to be satisfied by the proposed effective date of such commitment termination, provided, further, that upon any such rescission the Company shall be liable for any breakage fees and funding losses that are required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.11) to the Administrative Agent, to terminate or reduce the Commitments or the Swingline Commitment without premium or penalty, in whole or in part, with any partial reduction (i) to be in an amount not less than $5,000,000 as determined by the Company and in integral multiples of

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

$5,000,000 and (ii) as to the Commitments, to be allocated ratably among the Lenders in proportion to their respective Commitments; provided, that the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount may not be reduced to an amount less than the sum of the Swingline Exposure plus the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans, after giving effect to payments on such proposed termination or reduction date; provided further that the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount may not be reduced to an amount less than the Swingline Commitment, after giving effect to any contemporaneous reduction thereof. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to each Lender of any such termination or reduction of the Commitments or the Swingline Commitment. Any termination of Commitments or the Swingline Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.12 is permanent and may not be reinstated.

Section 2.13. Increase of Commitments; Additional Lenders.

(a) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, from time to time after the Effective Date and upon at least 20 days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as Administrative Agent and Company may agree), the Company may elect to increase the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount up to a total amount not to exceed $800,000,000 at any time in effect.

(b) The Company may designate one or more banks or other financial institutions (which may be, but need not be, one or more of the existing Lenders) which at the time agree to, in the case of any such Person that is an existing Lender, increase its Commitment and in the case of any other such Person (an “Additional Lender”), become a party to this Agreement; provided, however, that any bank or financial institution that is not an existing Lender must be acceptable to the Administrative Agent and/or the Swingline Lender (in each case, which acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, would be required to effect an assignment under Section 10.10(b). No Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to agree to increase its Commitment.

(c) An increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall become effective upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Joinder Agreement signed by the Company, by each Additional Lender and by each other Lender whose Commitment is to be increased, together with such evidence of appropriate corporate authorization on the part of the Company with respect to the increase in the Commitments and such opinions of counsel for the Company with respect to the increase in the Commitments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

(d) Upon the acceptance of any such agreement by the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount shall automatically be increased by the amount of the Commitments added through such agreement and the Commitment amounts of each Lender set forth on the signature pages hereto shall automatically be deemed to be updated.

(e) Upon any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.13 that is not pro rata among all Lenders, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall as of the effective date of such increase make adjustments to the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans (but not any interest accrued thereon or any

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

accrued fees prior to such date), including, subject to the conditions specified in Section 4.2, the borrowing of additional Revolving Loans hereunder and the repayment of Revolving Loans plus all applicable accrued interest, fees and expenses as shall be necessary to provide for Revolving Loans by the Lenders in proportion to their respective Commitments after giving effect to such increase, together with any breakage fees and funding losses that are required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.11, and each Lender shall be deemed to have made an assignment of its outstanding Revolving Loans and Commitment, and assumed outstanding Revolving Loans and Commitments of other Lenders as of the effective date of such increase as may be necessary to effect the foregoing.

Section 2.14. Extensions of Commitment Termination Date. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no earlier than 60 days and at least 45 days prior to the then-effective Commitment Termination Date, the Company may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request that the Commitment Termination Date then in effect be extended for a 364-day period (and may make successive annual extension requests under this Section 2.14 without limitation prior to the termination hereof). On each such occasion, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such request. If a Lender agrees, in its individual and sole discretion, to so extend its Commitment (an “Extending Lender”), it shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a written notice of its agreement to do so no later than 30 days prior to the then-effective Commitment Termination Date and the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Company of such Extending Lender’s agreement to extend its Commitment (and such agreement shall be irrevocable until such Commitment Termination Date). The Commitment of any Lender that fails to accept or respond to the Company’s request for extension of the Commitment Termination Date (a “Declining Lender”) shall be terminated on the Commitment Termination Date then in effect for such Lender (without regard to any extension by other Lenders) and on such Commitment Termination Date the Borrowers shall pay in full the unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans owing to such Declining Lender, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees accrued and unpaid under this Agreement to the date of such payment of principal and all other amounts due to such Declining Lender under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Extending Lender of the aggregate Commitments of the Declining Lenders. Each Extending Lender may offer to increase its respective Commitment by an aggregate amount up to the aggregate amount of the Declining Lenders’ Commitments and such Extending Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a notice of its offer to so increase its Commitment no later than 15 days prior to the then-effective Commitment Termination Date (and such offer shall be irrevocable until such Commitment Termination Date). To the extent the aggregate amount of extended Commitments is less than the aggregate amount of Commitments so requested to be extended pursuant to the foregoing, the Company shall have the right to require any Declining Lender at any time thereafter to (and any such Declining Lender shall) assign in full its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more banks or other financial institutions (which may be, but need not be, one or more of the existing Lenders) which at the time agree to, in the case of any such Person that is an existing Lender, increase its Commitment and in the case of any other such Person (a “Replacement Lender”) become a party to this Agreement; provided that (i) such assignment is otherwise in compliance with Section 10.10(b), and (ii) such Declining Lender receives payment in full of the unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans owing to such Declining Lender, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees accrued

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

and unpaid under this Agreement to the date of such payment of principal and all other amounts due to such Declining Lender under this Agreement. The Commitment Termination Date of such Extending Lenders and Replacement Lenders shall be extended by 364 days, effective as of such Commitment Termination Date.

Section 2.15. Swingline Advances.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans in Dollars to the Borrowers from time to time prior to the Commitment Termination Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding the Swingline Commitment or (ii) the sum of the aggregate Swingline Exposure plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans exceeding the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount then in effect; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

(b) To request a Swingline Loan, the Company shall deliver, by hand delivery or telecopier, a duly completed and executed Swingline Loan Request substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.15 (each a “Swingline Request”) to the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender, not later than 3:00 p.m., on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such Swingline Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and the amount of the requested Swingline Loan and the applicable Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the applicable Borrower to an account as directed in writing by the Company in the applicable Swingline Request maintained with the Administrative Agent by 4:00 p.m. on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. The Company shall not request a Swingline Loan if at the time of or immediately after giving effect to such Swingline Loan a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom. The Swingline Lender shall not make a Swingline Loan if it has received notice from a Borrower or any Lender that a Default or Event of Default exists or would result from such Swingline Loan. Swingline Loans shall be made in minimum amounts of $2,500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 above such amount.

(c) Each Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to repay any Swingline Loan, in whole or in part, upon giving written notice to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent before 12:00 noon on the proposed date of repayment.

(d) The Swingline Lender may at any time in its discretion by written notice given to the Administrative Agent (provided such notice requirement shall not apply if the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent are the same entity) not later than 11:00 a.m. on the next succeeding Business Day following such notice require the Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans then outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent, or if the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent are the same entity, the Swingline Lender, will give notice

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.5(a) with respect to Loans made by such Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired by the Lenders pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from any Borrower (or other party on behalf of any Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent. Any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrowers of any default in the payment thereof.

(e) If, at any time there shall exist any Fronting Exposure (or any Fronting Exposure would result from the making of any requested Swingline Loan), then the Company shall, if the full amount of such Fronting Exposure has not been (or, following the making of such requested Swingline Loan would not be able to be) reallocated pursuant to Section 2.17(a)(iv), promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender (or, with respect to any such requested Swingline Loan, prior to the making of such Swingline Loan), deliver to the Administrative Agent Collateral, in accordance with Section 7.4(a), to secure such unallocated Fronting Exposure, and such Collateral shall be applied as a prepayment on Defaulting Lenders’ participation in such Swingline Loans so as to eliminate such Fronting Exposure and applied as a prepayment on the outstanding principal amount of such Swingline Loans so as to reduce the outstanding principal amount of such Swingline Loans by an equivalent amount.

Section 2.16. Designated Borrowers.

(a) The Company may at any time, upon not less than fifteen (15) Business Days’ notice from the Company to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), designate the Designated Borrower to receive Loans hereunder by delivering to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver counterparts thereof to each Lender) a duly executed notice and agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.16A (a “Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement”). Following the giving of any notice pursuant to this Section 2.16(a), if the designation of such

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

Designated Borrower obligates the Administrative Agent or any Lender to comply with “know your customer” or similar identification procedures in circumstances where the necessary information is not already available to it, the Company shall, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, supply such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in order for the Administrative Agent or such Lender to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with the results of all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations.

(b) Within five (5) Business Days after receiving notice from the Company or the Administrative Agent of the Company’s intent to designate a Subsidiary as a Designated Borrower for a Designated Borrower that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than of the United States or a political subdivision thereof, any Lender that may not legally lend to, establish credit for the account of and/or do any business whatsoever with such Designated Borrower directly or through an Affiliate of such Lender as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph (a “Protesting Lender”) shall so notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing. With respect to each Protesting Lender, the Company shall, effective on or before the date that such Designated Borrower shall have the right to borrow hereunder, (A) notify the Administrative Agent and such Protesting Lender that the Commitments of such Protesting Lender shall be terminated and either (1) the Borrowers shall pay in full the unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans owing to such Protesting Lender, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees accrued and unpaid under this Agreement to the date of such payment of principal and all other amounts due to such Protesting Lender under this Agreement, or (2) the Company shall have the right to require any Protesting Lender at any time thereafter to (and any such Protesting Lender shall) assign in full its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more banks or other financial institutions (which may be, but need not be, one or more existing Lenders) which at the time agree to, in the case of any such Person that is an existing Lender, increase its Commitment and in the case of any other Person become a party to this Agreement; provided that (x) such assignment is otherwise in compliance with Section 10.10(b), and (y) such Protesting Lender receives payment in full of the unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans owing to such Protesting Lender, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees accrued and unpaid under this Agreement to the date of such payment of principal and all other amounts due to such Protesting Lender under this Agreement; or (B) cancel its request to designate such Subsidiary as a “Designated Borrower” hereunder.

(c) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that prior to the Designated Borrower becoming entitled to utilize the Revolving Credit provided for herein, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received the duly executed Company Guaranty, together with such supporting resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information, in form, content and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as may be required by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, and Notes signed by the Designated Borrower to the extent any Lenders so require. Promptly following receipt of the Company Guaranty and all such requested resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information, the Administrative Agent shall send a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.16B (a “Designated Borrower Notice”) to the Company and the Lenders specifying the effective date upon which the Designated

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

Borrower shall constitute a Borrower for purposes hereof, whereupon each of the Lenders agrees to permit such Designated Borrower to receive Loans hereunder, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and each of the parties agrees that such Designated Borrower otherwise shall be a Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement.

(d) The Obligations of the Designated Borrower shall be guaranteed by the Company pursuant to the Company Guaranty.

(e) The Designated Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents, including (i) the giving and receipt of notices, (ii) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and all modifications hereto, and (iii) the receipt of the proceeds of any Loans made by the Lenders, to any such Designated Borrower hereunder. Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all Borrowers, or by each Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by the Company, whether or not any such other Borrower joins therein. Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Designated Borrower.

(f) The Company may from time to time, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ notice from the Company to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), terminate a Designated Borrower’s status as such, provided that there are no outstanding Loans payable by such Designated Borrower, or other amounts payable by such Designated Borrower on account of any Loans made to it, as of the effective date of such termination. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such termination of a Designated Borrower’s status.

Section 2.17. Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.11.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 7 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.6), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to be applied as a prepayment on such Defaulting Lender’s participation in any Swingline Loan; fourth, as the Company may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to a Credit Party as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Credit Party against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held to be applied) pursuant to this Section 2.17(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender shall have no recourse to any Credit Party for the payment of such amounts, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto and the application of such payments in accordance with this Section shall not constitute an Event of Default or a Default, and no payment of principal of or interest on the Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall be considered to be overdue for purposes of any Credit Document, if, had such payments been applied without regard to this Section, no such Event of Default or Default would have occurred and no such payment of principal of or interest on the Loans of such Defaulting Lender would have been overdue.

(iii) Certain Fees. Facility fees under Section 3.1(a) shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Company shall not be required to pay any such fees that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).

(iv) Reallocation of Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.15, the “Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Swingline Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of such non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the Revolving Credit Exposure of such non-Defaulting Lender.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Credit Party while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder in any Lender’s status from Defaulting Lender to non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) No Waiver. The rights and remedies against, and with respect to, a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.17 are in addition to, and cumulative and not in limitation of, all other rights and remedies that the Administrative Agent and each Lender, Swingline Lender, the Company or any other Credit Party may at any time have against, or with respect to, such Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE 3

FEES AND PAYMENTS

Section 3.1. Fees.

(a) Facility Fees. The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Facility Fee Rate on the daily amount of the Commitment of such Lender (whether used or unused) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates; provided that, if such Lender continues to have any Revolving Credit Exposure or Swingline Exposure after its Commitment terminates, then such facility fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of the sum of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure plus such Lender’s Swingline Exposure from and including the date on which its Commitment terminates to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Revolving Credit Exposure and Swingline Exposure. Accrued facility fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on September 30, 2013, on the date(s) on which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Lenders shall have

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

no further Revolving Credit Exposures, and on the Commitment Termination Date. All facility fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) Administrative Agent and Arrangement Fees. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent the fees from time to time agreed to by the Company and the Administrative Agent and the arrangement fees previously agreed to by the Company and the Co-Arrangers.

(c) Payment of Fees. All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of facility fees, to the Lenders.

Section 3.2. Place and Application of Payments.

(a) All payments of principal of and interest on the Loans, and all fees and other amounts payable by any Credit Party under the Credit Documents shall be made free and clear of any set-off, counterclaim or defense by such Credit Party to the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of Swingline Loans, to the Swingline Lender, except as provided in Section 2.15), for the benefit of the Lenders entitled to such payments, in immediately available funds on the due date thereof no later than 2:00 P.M. in the applicable Administrative Agent’s Account or such other location as the Administrative Agent may designate in writing to the Company. Any payments received by the Administrative Agent from any Credit Party after the time specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. The Administrative Agent will, on the same day each payment is received or deemed to have been received in accordance with this Section 3.2, cause to be distributed like funds to each Lender owed an Obligation for which such payment was received, pro rata based on the respective amounts of such type of Obligation then owing to each Lender.

(b) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent under any Credit Document is insufficient to pay in full all amounts then due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Documents, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order set forth in Section 7.7. In calculating the amount of Obligations owing each Lender other than for principal and interest on Loans and fees under Section 3.1, the Administrative Agent shall only be required to include such other Obligations that Lenders have certified to the Administrative Agent in writing are due to such Lenders.

Section 3.3. Withholding Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Withholding. Except as otherwise required by law and subject to Section 3.3(b), each payment by the Borrowers to any Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be made without withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes. If any such withholding is so required (as determined in the reasonable discretion of the applicable Borrower), the applicable Borrower shall make the withholding and pay the amount withheld to the appropriate governmental authority before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon. Moreover, in

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

the case of any such present or future taxes imposed by or within the jurisdiction in which the applicable Borrower is incorporated, any jurisdiction from which the applicable Borrower makes any payment under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or (in each case) any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, excluding, in the case of each Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent, the following taxes:

(i) taxes imposed on, based upon, or measured by such Lender’s, the Swingline Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s net income, profits, gains, overall revenues or receipts, and branch profits, franchise and similar taxes imposed on it;

(ii) taxes imposed on such Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent as a result of a present or former connection between the taxing jurisdiction and such Lender, the Swingline Lender or Administrative Agent, or any owner or affiliate thereof, as the case may be, other than a connection resulting solely from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(iii) taxes imposed as a result of the transfer by such Lender, the Swingline Lender or Administrative Agent of its interest in this Agreement or any other Credit Document or a designation by such Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent (other than pursuant to Section 8.3(c)) of a new Lending Office (other than taxes imposed as a result of any change in treaty, law or regulation after such transfer of such Lender’s, the Swingline Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s interest in this Agreement or any other Credit Document or designation of a new Lending Office);

(iv) taxes imposed by the United States of America (or any political subdivision thereof or tax authority therein) upon a Lender, Swingline Lender or Administrative Agent organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States, except to the extent that such tax is imposed as a result of any change in applicable law, regulation or treaty (other than any addition of or change in any “anti-treaty shopping,” “limitation of benefits,” or similar provision applicable to a treaty) after the date hereof, in the case of each Lender, Swingline Lender or Administrative Agent originally a party hereto or, in the case of any Purchasing Lender (as defined in Section 10.10(b)) or Administrative Agent, after the date on which it becomes a Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be; or

(v) taxes which would not have been imposed but for (a) the failure of such Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to provide on a timely basis (I) the applicable forms prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, as required pursuant to Section 3.3(b) (unless excused pursuant to Section 3.3(c)), or (II) any other form, certification, documentation or proof which is reasonably requested by the Company, or (b) a determination by a taxing authority or a court of competent jurisdiction that a form, certification, documentation or other proof provided by such Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent to establish an exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge is false or not properly completed;

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

(all such present or future taxes, excluding only the taxes described in the preceding clauses (i) through (v), being hereinafter referred to as “Indemnified Taxes”), the applicable Borrower shall forthwith pay such additional amount as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent is free and clear of such Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes on such additional amount) and is equal to the amount that such Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) would have received had withholding of any Indemnified Taxes not been made. If any Borrower pays any Indemnified Taxes, or any penalties or interest in connection therewith, it shall deliver official tax receipts evidencing the payment or certified copies thereof, or other evidence of payment if such tax receipts have not yet been received by such Borrower (with such tax receipts to be delivered within fifteen (15) days after being actually received), to the Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent on whose account such withholding was made (with a copy to the Administrative Agent if not the recipient of the original). If the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or any Lender pays any Indemnified Taxes which any Borrower has failed to withhold or pay to the appropriate governmental authority, or any penalties or interest in connection therewith, such Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or that Lender for such payment within thirty (30) days after the receipt of written demand therefor. Such Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent shall make written demand on the Company for reimbursement hereunder no later than ninety (90) days after the earlier of (i) the date on which such Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent makes payment of the Indemnified Taxes, penalties and interest, and (ii) the date on which the relevant taxing authority or other governmental authority makes written demand upon such Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent for payment of the Indemnified Taxes, penalties and interest. Any such demand shall describe in reasonable detail such Indemnified Taxes, penalties or interest, including the amount thereof if then known to such Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be. In the event that such Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent fails to give the Company timely notice as provided herein, no Borrower shall have any obligation to pay such claim for reimbursement. In the event that any taxing authority notifies a Borrower that it has improperly failed to withhold any taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes) from a payment to any Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, such Borrower shall timely and fully pay such taxes to such taxing authority and such Lender, Swingline Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall pay the amount of such taxes to such Borrower within thirty (30) days after the receipt of written demand therefor. If a Borrower is or will be required to pay an additional amount to a Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.3(a), then such payee shall use reasonable efforts to take requested measures (including, without limitation, changing the jurisdiction of its Lending Office) so as to reduce or eliminate any such amounts which may thereafter accrue, if such change would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such payee.

(b) U.S. Withholding Tax Exemptions. Upon the written request of the Company or the Administrative Agent, each Lender or the Swingline Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall submit to the Company and the Administrative Agent, promptly after such request, two duly completed and signed copies of either Form W-8BEN or any successor form (entitling such Lender or the

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

Swingline Lender to a complete exemption from withholding under the Code on all amounts to be received by such Lender or the Swingline Lender, including fees, pursuant to the Credit Documents) or Form W-8ECI or any successor form (relating to all amounts to be received by such Lender or the Swingline Lender, including fees, pursuant to the Credit Documents) of the United States Internal Revenue Service, and any other form of the United States Internal Revenue Service reasonably necessary to establish or accomplish exemption from withholding obligations or to facilitate the Administrative Agent’s performance under this Agreement. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Lender or the Swingline Lender shall submit to the Company and the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may be required under then-current United States law or regulations to avoid United States withholding taxes on payments in respect of all amounts to be received by such Lender or the Swingline Lender, including fees, pursuant to the Credit Documents. Upon the request of the Company, each Lender or the Swingline Lender that is a United States person shall submit to the Company a certificate to the effect that it is a United States person and is exempt from information reporting under Section 6049 of the Code and backup withholding under Section 3406 of the Code.

(c) Inability of Lender to Submit Forms. If any Lender or the Swingline Lender determines in good faith, as a result of any change in applicable law, regulation or treaty, or in any official application or interpretation thereof, that (i) it is unable to submit to the Company or Administrative Agent any form or certificate that such Lender or the Swingline Lender is obligated to submit pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 3.3, (ii) it is required to withdraw or cancel any such form or certificate previously submitted, or (iii) any such form or certificate otherwise becomes ineffective or inaccurate, such Lender or the Swingline Lender shall promptly notify the Company and Administrative Agent of such fact, and such Lender or the Swingline Lender shall to that extent not be obligated to provide any such form or certificate and will be entitled to withdraw or cancel any affected form or certificate, as applicable.

(d) Refund of Taxes. If any Lender, Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent receives a refund or credit of any Indemnified Tax or any tax referred to in Section 10.3 with respect to which any Borrower has paid any amount pursuant to this Section 3.3 or Section 10.3, such Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent shall pay the amount of such refund or credit (including any interest received with respect thereto) to such Borrower within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof. A Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent shall provide, at the sole cost and expense of the Company, such assistance as the Company may reasonably request in order to obtain such a refund or credit; provided, however, that none of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or Swingline Lender shall in any event be required to disclose any information to the Company with respect to the overall tax position (or any other information relating to taxes that such Person reasonably determines to be confidential) of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or such Lender.

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

(c) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Swingline Lender that determines to seek compensation or additional interest under this Section 8.3 shall give written notice to the Company and, in the case of a Lender or the Swingline Lender other than the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent of the circumstances that entitle the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Swingline Lender to such compensation no later than ninety (90) days after the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Swingline Lender receives actual notice or obtains actual knowledge of the law, rule, order or interpretation or occurrence of another event giving rise to a claim hereunder. In any event no Borrower shall have any obligation to pay any amount with respect to claims accruing prior to the ninetieth day preceding such written demand; provided that if the basis or circumstances in respect of Section 8.3 giving rise to such compensation or additional interest is retroactive, then such 90-day period referred to in this sentence shall be extended to include the period with retroactive effect thereof. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Swingline Lender shall use reasonable efforts to avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation, additional interest, and any payment under Section 3.3, including, without limitation, the designation of a different Lending Office, if such action or designation will not, in the sole judgment of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Swingline Lender made in good faith, be otherwise disadvantageous to it; provided that the foregoing shall not in any way affect the rights of any Lender or the Swingline Lender or the obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 8.3. A certificate of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, claiming compensation or additional interest under this Section 8.3, and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and accompanied by a statement prepared by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or Swingline Lender, as applicable, describing in reasonable detail the calculations thereof shall be prima facie evidence of the correctness thereof. In determining such amount, such Lender or the Swingline Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

Section 8.4. Lending Offices. The Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each Lender may, at its option, elect to make or maintain its Loans hereunder at the Lending Office for each Type of Loan available hereunder or at such other of its branches, offices or Affiliates as it may from time to time elect and designate in a written notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent, provided that, except in the case of any such transfer to another of its branches, offices or Affiliates made at the request of the Company, no Borrower shall be responsible for the costs arising under Section 3.3 or 8.3 resulting from any such transfer to the extent not otherwise applicable to such Lender or the Swingline Lender prior to such transfer.

Section 8.5. Discretion of Lender as to Manner of Funding. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, each Lender and the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit.

Section 8.6. Substitution of Lender. If (a) any Lender has demanded compensation or additional interest or given notice of its intention to demand compensation or additional interest under Section 8.3, (b) a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender under Section 2.11, (c) any Lender is unable to submit any form or certificate required under Section 3.3(b) or withdraws or cancels any previously submitted form with no substitution therefor, (d) any Lender gives notice of any Change in Law or regulations, or in the

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

interpretation thereof, pursuant to Section 8.1, (e) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or has otherwise been declared insolvent or a receiver or conservator has been appointed for a material portion of its assets, business or properties, (f) any Lender shall seek to avoid its obligation to make or maintain Loans hereunder for any reason, including, without limitation, reliance upon 12 U.S.C. § 1821(e) or (n) (1) (B), (g) any taxes referred to in Section 3.3 have been levied or imposed (or the Company determines in good faith that there is a substantial likelihood that such taxes will be levied or imposed) so as to require withholding or deductions by a Borrower or payment by a Borrower of additional amounts to any Lender or Governmental Authority, or other reimbursement or indemnification of any Lender as a result thereof, or (h) any Lender shall decline to consent to a modification or waiver of the terms of this Agreement or any other Credit Documents requested by the Company, or shall fail to give its consent to a Redomestication under the laws of a jurisdiction that requires Required Lender consent pursuant to the definition of “Redomestication”, then and in such event, upon request from the Company delivered to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall assign, in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.10 (including the provisions governing required consents) and an appropriately completed Assignment Agreement, all of its rights and obligations under the Credit Documents to another Lender or a commercial banking institution selected by the Company, in consideration for the payments set forth in such Assignment Agreement and payment by the Company (or the Company shall cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) to such Lender of all other amounts which such Lender may be owed pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 2.11, 3.3, 8.3 and 10.13.

ARTICLE 9

THE AGENTS

Section 9.1. Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent. Each of the Lenders and the Swingline Lender hereby appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as the Administrative Agent, and hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on each of its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

Section 9.2. Rights and Powers. The Administrative Agent and the Other Agents, to the extent each such Person is also a Lender, shall have the same rights and powers under the Credit Documents as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising such rights and power as though it were not an Administrative Agent, or an Other Agent, and the Administrative Agent and the Other Agents and their respective Controlling Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Controlling Affiliates as if it were not an Administrative Agent or an Other Agent under the Credit Documents. The term Lender as used in all Credit Documents, unless the context otherwise clearly requires, includes, to the extent such Person is also a Lender hereunder, the Administrative Agent and the Other Agents in their respective individual capacities as a Lender. In the event that JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or any of its Affiliates shall be or become an indenture trustee under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (as amended, the “Trust Indenture Act”) in respect of any securities issued or guaranteed by any

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

Credit Party, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any payment or property received in satisfaction of or in respect of any Obligation of such Credit Party hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or on behalf of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. in its capacity as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent for the benefit of any Lender or the Swingline Lender under any Credit Document (other than JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or an Affiliate of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.) and which is applied in accordance with the Credit Documents shall be deemed to be exempt from the requirements of Section 311 of the Trust Indenture Act pursuant to Section 311(b)(3) of the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 9.3. Action by Administrative Agent and the Other Agents. The obligations of the Administrative Agent and the Other Agents under the Credit Documents are only those expressly set forth therein; provided, however, that neither any Co-Syndication Agent nor any Co-Documentation Agent shall have any duties, responsibilities, or obligations hereunder in such capacity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action concerning any Default or Event of Default, except as expressly provided in Sections 7.2 and 7.5. Unless and until the Required Lenders (or, if required by Section 10.11, all of the Lenders) give such direction (including, without limitation, the giving of a notice of default as described in Section 7.1(c)), the Administrative Agent may, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or therein, take or refrain from taking such actions as it deems appropriate and in the best interest of all the Lenders and the Swingline Lender. In no event, however, shall the Administrative Agent or the Other Agents be required to take any action in violation of applicable law or of any provision of any Credit Document, and each of the Administrative Agent and the Other Agents shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or under any other Credit Document unless it first receives any further assurances of its indemnification from the Lenders that it may require, including prepayment of any related expenses and any other protection it requires against any and all costs, expenses, and liabilities it may incur in taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that no Default or Event of Default, other than non-payment of any scheduled principal or interest payment due hereunder, exists unless notified in writing to the contrary by a Lender or the Company. In all cases in which the Credit Documents do not require the Administrative Agent or the Other Agents to take specific action, the Administrative Agent and each of the Other Agents shall be fully justified in using its discretion in failing to take or in taking any action thereunder. Any instructions of the Required Lenders, or of any other group of Lenders called for under specific provisions of the Credit Documents, shall be binding on all the Lenders and holders of Revolving Notes.

Section 9.4. Consultation with Experts. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Other Agents may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 9.5. Indemnification Provisions; Credit Decision. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Other Agents nor any of their directors, officers, agents, or employees shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or not taken by them in connection with the Credit Documents (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or, if required by Section 10.11, all of the Lenders), or (ii) in the absence of their own gross negligence or

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

willful misconduct. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Other Agents nor any of their directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any Borrowing; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Company or any Subsidiary contained herein or in any other Credit Document; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article 4, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability, value, worth or collectability hereof or of any other Credit Document or of any other documents or writings furnished in connection with any Credit Document; and the Administrative Agent and the Other Agents make no representation of any kind or character with respect to any such matters mentioned in this sentence. The Administrative Agent and the Other Agents may execute any of their duties under any of the Credit Documents by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable to the Lenders or any other Person for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent and the Other Agents shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, other document or statement (whether written or oral) believed by it to be genuine or to be sent by the proper party or parties. In particular and without limiting any of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Other Agents shall have no responsibility for confirming the accuracy of any Compliance Certificate or other document or instrument received by any of them under the Credit Documents. The Administrative Agent and the Other Agents may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until written notice of transfer shall have been filed with such Administrative Agent signed by such owner in form satisfactory to such Administrative Agent. Each of the Lenders and the Swingline Lender acknowledges that it has independently, and without reliance on the Administrative Agent, the Other Agents, the Swingline Lender or any other Lender, obtained such information and made such investigations and inquiries regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries as it deems appropriate, and based upon such information, investigations and inquiries, made its own credit analysis and decision to extend credit to the Borrowers in the manner set forth in the Credit Documents. It shall be the responsibility of each Lender and the Swingline Lender to keep itself informed about the creditworthiness and business, properties, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise) and prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the Administrative Agent and the Other Agents shall have no liability whatsoever to any Lender or the Swingline Lender for such matters. The Administrative Agent and the Other Agents shall have no duty to disclose to the Lenders or the Swingline Lender information that is not required by any Credit Document to be furnished by the Company or any Subsidiaries to such Agent at such time, but is voluntarily furnished to such Agent (either in their respective capacity as Administrative Agent or the Other Agents or in their individual capacity).

Section 9.6. Indemnity. The Lenders shall ratably, in accordance with their Percentages, indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent, the Other Agents, and their directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives harmless from and against any liabilities, losses, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by it under any Credit Document or in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, regardless of when asserted or arising, except to the extent they are promptly reimbursed for the same by the Company and except to the extent that any event giving rise to a claim was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking to be indemnified. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 9.6 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

Section 9.7. Resignation of Agents. The Administrative Agent and the Other Agents may resign at any time and shall resign upon any removal thereof as a Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and the Company. Any resignation of the Administrative Agent shall not be effective until a replacement therefor is appointed pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon any such resignation of the Administrative Agent or any Other Agent, the Required Lenders and, so long as no Event of Default shall then exist, with the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Other Agent, as the case may be. If no successor Administrative Agent or Other Agent, as the case may be, shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Other Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent or Other Agent, as the case may be, may, on behalf of the Lenders and, so long as no Event of Default shall then exist, with the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Other Agent, as the case may be, which shall be any Lender hereunder or any commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent or the Other Agent hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent or Other Agent, as the case may be, shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent or Other Agent, as the case may be, under the Credit Documents, and the retiring Administrative Agent or Other Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations thereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s or Other Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent or Other Agent, as the case may be, the provisions of this Article 9 and all protective provisions of the other Credit Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent or Other Agent, as the case may be.

Section 9.8. Release of Guaranties. So long as no Default has occurred and is continuing under the Credit Documents (or would result from such release), if all of the capital stock of a Guarantor that is owned by the Company or a Subsidiary is sold or otherwise disposed of in a transaction or transactions permitted by this Agreement, or upon any request by the Company for the release of a Guarantor from its Subsidiary Guaranty pursuant to Section 6.11(k), then promptly following the Company’s request, the Administrative Agent shall execute a release of such Guarantor from its Subsidiary Guaranty.

ARTICLE 10

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.1. No Waiver. No delay or failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Swingline Lender, or on the part of the holder or holders of any Notes, in the exercise of any power, right or remedy under any Credit Document shall operate as a

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

waiver thereof or as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other power, right or remedy. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the powers, rights and remedies under the Credit Documents of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Swingline Lender and the holder or holders of any Notes are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any powers, rights or remedies any of them would otherwise have.

Section 10.2. Non-Business Day. Subject to Section 2.4, if any payment of principal or interest on any portion of any Loan, or any other Obligation shall fall due on a day which is not a Business Day, interest or fees (as applicable) at the rate, if any, such portion of any Loan, or other Obligation bears for the period prior to maturity shall continue to accrue in the manner set forth herein on such Obligation from the stated due date thereof to the next succeeding Business Day, on which the same shall instead be payable.

Section 10.3. Documentary Taxes. The Company agrees that it will pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) any documentary, stamp or similar taxes payable with respect to any Credit Document, including interest and penalties, in the event any such taxes are assessed irrespective of when such assessment is made, other than any such taxes imposed as a result of any transfer of an interest in a Credit Document. Each Lender and the Swingline Lender that determines to seek compensation under this Section 10.3 shall give written notice to the Company and, in the case of a Lender or the Swingline Lender other than the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent of the circumstances that entitle such Lender or the Swingline Lender to such compensation no later than ninety (90) days after such Lender or the Swingline Lender receives actual notice or obtains actual knowledge of the law, rule, order or interpretation or occurrence of another event giving rise to a claim hereunder. In any event, no Borrower shall have any obligation to pay any amount with respect to claims accruing prior to the 90th day preceding such written demand.

Section 10.4. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties made herein or in certificates given pursuant hereto shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the date as of which they were made as long as any Borrower has any Obligation hereunder or any Commitment hereunder is in effect.

Section 10.5. Survival of Indemnities. All indemnities and all provisions relative to reimbursement to the Lenders and the Swingline Lender of amounts sufficient to protect the yield of the Lenders and the Swingline Lender with respect to the Loans, including, but not limited to, Section 2.11, Section 3.3, Section 7.6, Section 8.3, Section 10.3, and Section 10.13 hereof, shall, subject to Section 8.3(c), survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the payment of the Loans and all other Obligations and, with respect to any Lender or the Swingline Lender, any replacement by the Company of such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof, in each case for a period of one (1) year.

Section 10.6. Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of, and throughout the continuance of, any Event of Default, each Lender and the Swingline Lender and

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

each subsequent holder of any Note is hereby authorized by the Borrowers at any time or from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Person, any such prior notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts, and in whatever currency denominated) and any other Indebtedness at any time owing by that Lender or the Swingline Lender or that subsequent holder to or for the credit or the account of a Borrower, whether or not matured, against and on account of the due and unpaid obligations and liabilities of such Borrower to that Lender or the Swingline Lender or that subsequent holder under the Credit Documents, irrespective of whether or not that Lender or the Swingline Lender or that subsequent holder shall have made any demand hereunder. Each Lender or the Swingline Lender shall promptly give notice to the Company of any action taken by it under this Section 10.6, provided that any failure of such Lender or the Swingline Lender to give such notice to the Company shall not affect the validity of such setoff. Each Lender and the Swingline Lender agrees with each other Lender and the Swingline Lender a party hereto that if such Lender or the Swingline Lender receives and retains any payment, whether by setoff or application of deposit balances or otherwise, in respect of the Loans in excess of its ratable share of payments on all such Obligations then owed to the Lenders and the Swingline Lender hereunder, then such Lender or the Swingline Lender shall purchase for cash at face value, but without recourse, ratably from each of the other Lenders such amount of the Loans held by each such other Lender or Swingline Lender as shall be necessary to cause such Lender or Swingline Lender to share such excess payment ratably with all the other Lenders and the Swingline Lender; provided, however, that if any such purchase is made by any Lender or Swingline Lender, and if such excess payment or part thereof is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender or Swingline Lender, the related purchases from the other Lenders or Swingline Lender shall be rescinded ratably and the purchase price restored as to the portion of such excess payment so recovered, but without interest; provided further, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

or in part of commercial loans, to a trustee for such fund in support of such Lender’s obligations to such trustee; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release a Lender or Swingline Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such Federal Reserve Bank or such trustee for such Lender or Swingline Lender as a party hereto and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the other Lenders and the Swingline Lender shall continue to deal solely with such Lender or Swingline Lender in connection with the rights and obligations of such Lender and Swingline Lender under this Agreement.

Section 10.10. Sales and Transfers of Borrowing and Notes; Participations in Borrowings and Notes.

(a) Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Company and the Administrative Agent, at any time sell to one or more commercial banking or other financial or lending institutions, other than Defaulting Lenders (“Participants”) participating interests in any Commitment of such Lender hereunder, provided that no Lender may sell any participating interests (other than in the case of Affiliates of such Lender) in any such Commitment hereunder without also selling to such Participant the appropriate pro rata share of all such Lender’s obligations with respect to such Commitment, and provided further that no Lender shall transfer, grant or assign any participation under which the Participant shall have rights to vote upon or to consent to any matter to be decided by the Lenders or the Required Lenders hereunder or under any other Credit Document or to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) increase the amount of such Lender’s Commitment and such increase would affect such Participant, (ii) reduce the principal of, or interest on, any of such Lender’s Borrowings, or any fees or other amounts payable to such Lender hereunder and such reduction would affect such Participant, (iii) postpone any date fixed for any scheduled payment of principal of, or interest on, any of such Lender’s Borrowings, or any fees or other amounts payable to such Lender hereunder and such postponement would affect such Participant, or (iv) release any collateral security for any Obligation, except as otherwise specifically provided in any Credit Document. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under this Agreement, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrowers under any Credit Document. Each Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Notes shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable in accordance with Section 7.2 or 7.3 upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and any Note to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement or any Note, provided that such right of setoff shall be subject to the obligation of such Participant to share with the Lenders, and the Lenders agree to share with such Participant, as provided in Section 10.6. Each Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of and have the obligations under Sections 2.11, 3.3 and 8.3 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Borrowings outstanding from time to time, provided

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such Sections than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred if no participation had been transferred and provided, further, that Sections 8.3(c) and 8.6 shall apply to the transferor Lender with respect to any claim by any Participant pursuant to Section 2.11, 3.3 or 8.3 as fully as if such claim was made by such Lender. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Borrower shall at any time be obligated to pay to any Lender any sum in excess of the sum such Borrower would have been obligated to pay to such Lender hereunder if such Lender had not sold any participation in its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

(b) Any Lender may at any time sell to (i) any of such Lender’s Affiliates, to an Approved Fund or to any other Lender or Affiliate thereof (other than, in each case, a Defaulting Lender, or an Approved Fund or any Affiliate of such Defaulting Lender), that, in each case, is a commercial banking or other financial or lending institution not subject to Regulation T of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or (ii) with the prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company, to one or more commercial banking or other financial or lending institutions not described in (i), above that are not subject to Regulation T of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (any of (i) or (ii), a “Purchasing Lender”), all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, executed by such Purchasing Lender and such transferor Lender (and, in the case of a Purchasing Lender described in clause (ii), above, by the Company and the Administrative Agent) and delivered to the Administrative Agent; provided that each such sale to a Purchasing Lender (other than an existing Lender) shall be in the amount of $5,000,000 or more, or if in a lesser amount or if as a result of such sale the sum of the unfunded Commitment of such Lender plus the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s Loans would be less than $5,000,000 (calculated as hereinafter set forth), such sale shall be of all of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and all of the other Credit Documents payable to it to one Purchasing Lender. Notwithstanding the requirement of the Company’s consent set forth above, but subject to all of the other terms and conditions of this Section 10.10(b), any Lender may sell to one or more commercial banking or other financial or lending institutions not subject to Regulation T of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, all or any part of their rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with only the consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Upon such execution, delivery and acceptance, from and after the effective date of the transfer determined pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, (x) the Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment as set forth herein and (y) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of a transferor Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such transferor Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Such Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of Commitments and Percentages arising from

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Credit Documents. On or prior to the effective date of the transfer determined pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, the applicable Borrower, at its own expense, shall upon reasonable notice from the Administrative Agent execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for any surrendered Note, a new Note as appropriate to the order of such Purchasing Lender in an amount equal to the Commitments assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, and, if the transferor Lender has retained a Commitment or Borrowing hereunder, a new Note to the order of the transferor Lender in an amount equal to the Commitments or Borrowings retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be dated the Effective Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Notes replaced thereby. The Notes surrendered by the transferor Lender shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Company marked “cancelled.”

(c) Upon its receipt of an Assignment Agreement executed by a transferor Lender and a Purchasing Lender (and, in the case of a Purchasing Lender that is not then a Lender or an Affiliate thereof, by the Administrative Agent and, to the extent required by Section 10.10(b), by the Company), together with payment by the transferor Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (unless the Company is replacing such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof, in which event such fee shall be paid by the Company), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment Agreement, and (ii) on the effective date of the transfer determined pursuant thereto give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Company. The Company shall not be responsible for such registration and processing fee or any costs or expenses incurred by any Lender, any Purchasing Lender or the Administrative Agent in connection with such assignment except as provided above.

(d) If, pursuant to this Section 10.10 any interest in this Agreement or any Loan or Note is transferred to any transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, (i) to represent to the transferor Lender (for the benefit of the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Company) that under applicable law and treaties no taxes will be required to be withheld by the Administrative Agent, any Borrower or the transferor Lender with respect to any payments to be made to such transferee in respect of the Loans, (ii) to furnish to the transferor Lender (and, in the case of any Purchasing Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Company) two duly completed and signed copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities (wherein such transferee claims entitlement to complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments pursuant to the Credit Documents), and (iii) to agree (for the benefit of the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Company) to provide the transferor Lender (and, in the case of any Purchasing Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Company) new forms as contemplated by Section 3.3(b) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations and amendments duly executed and completed by such transferee, and to comply from time to time with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations with regard to such withholding tax exemption.

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

(e) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 10.10, no transfer or assignment of the interests of any Lender hereunder or any grant of participations therein shall be permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant would require any Borrower to file a registration statement with the SEC or to qualify the Loans, the Notes or any other Obligations under the securities laws of any jurisdiction.

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

Section 10.11. Amendments, Waivers and Consents. Any provision of the Credit Documents may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by (a) the Company, (b) the Required Lenders, and (c) if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Other Agents or the Swingline Lender are affected thereby, the Administrative Agent, the Other Agents or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, provided that:

(i) no amendment or waiver shall (A) increase or extend any Commitment of any Lender without the consent of such Lender, or (B) reduce the amount of or postpone the date for any scheduled payment of any principal of or interest (including, without limitation, any reduction in the rate of interest unless such reduction is otherwise provided herein) on any Loan or of any fee payable hereunder, without the consent of each Lender owed any such Obligation, (C) release any Collateral for any Collateralized Obligations (other than as provided in accordance with Section 7.4) without the consent of all Lenders, (D) release (1) the NDC Guaranty, the NHIL Guaranty or any other Subsidiary Guaranty (except as expressly provided for in Section 6.11(k) or Section 9.8), (2) the Company Guaranty (except as expressly provided for therein), during any period that there is a Designated Borrower, or (3) the provisions of Article 4 hereof without in each such case the consent of all Lenders, or (E) change any provision requiring ratable funding or sharing of payments without the consent of all Lenders.

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

(ii) no amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by each Lender, change the provisions of this Section 10.11 or the definition of Required Lenders or the number of Lenders required to take any action under any other provision of the Credit Documents;

(iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (A) any Borrowing Request or any Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement may be amended with the consent of only the Company and the Administrative Agent and (B) any Swingline Request may be amended with the consent of only the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender; and

(iv) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

Section 10.12. Headings. Section headings used in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.

Section 10.13. Legal Fees, Other Costs and Indemnification. The Company, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of legal counsel to the Administrative Agent) in connection with the preparation and execution of the Credit Documents (not to exceed such amount previously agreed to by the Administrative Agent), and any amendment, waiver or consent related thereto, whether or not the transactions contemplated therein are consummated. The Company further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, each Affiliate of a Lender, each Co-Arranger, the Swingline Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Other Agents, and their respective directors, officers, employees and attorneys (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable expenses of litigation or preparation therefor, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto) which any of them may pay or incur as a result of (a) any action, suit or proceeding by any third party or Governmental Authority against such Indemnified Party and relating to any Credit Document, the Loans, or the application or proposed application by any of a Borrower of the proceeds of any Loan, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH CLAIMS OR ACTIONS ARE FOUNDED IN WHOLE OR IN PART UPON THE ALLEGED SIMPLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OF ANY OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES AND/OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES OR ATTORNEYS, (b) any investigation of any third party or any Governmental Authority involving any Lender (as a lender

[364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement]

hereunder), any Affiliate of a Lender, any Co-Arranger, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent or the Other Agents (in such capacity hereunder) and related to any use made or proposed to be made by a Borrower of the proceeds of any Loan, or any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly with the proceeds of any Loan, and (c) any investigation of any third party or any Governmental Authority, litigation or proceeding involving any Lender (as a lender hereunder), any Affiliate of a Lender, any Co-Arranger (in such capacity hereunder), the Swingline Lender (as a swingline lender hereunder) or the Administrative Agent or the Other Agents (in such capacity hereunder) and related to any environmental cleanup, audit, compliance or other matter relating to any Environmental Law or the presence of any Hazardous Material (including, without limitation, any losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, costs, expenses or claims asserted or arising under any Environmental Law) with respect to the Company, regardless of whether caused by, or within the control of, the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any of the foregoing arising out of such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, violation of law or willful breach of its obligations hereunder, as determined pursuant to a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or as expressly agreed in writing by such Indemnified Party. The Company, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, the Other Agents, a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, a Co-Arranger or the Swingline Lender at any time, shall reimburse such Agent, Lender, Affiliate of a Lender, Co-Arranger or Swingline Lender for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending against any of the foregoing, except if the same is excluded from indemnification pursuant to the provisions of the preceding sentence. Each Indemnified Party agrees to contest any indemnified claim if requested by the Company, in a manner reasonably directed by the Company, with counsel selected by the Indemnified Party and approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any Indemnified Party that proposes or intends to settle or compromise any such indemnified claim shall give the Company written notice of the terms of such settlement or compromise reasonably in advance of settling or compromising such claim or proceeding and shall obtain the Company’s prior written consent thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the Indemnified Party shall not be restricted from settling or compromising any such claim if (i) the Indemnified Party waives its right to indemnity from the Company in respect of such claim and such settlement or compromise does not materially increase the Company’s liability pursuant to this Section 10.13 to any related party of such Indemnified Party, (ii) an Event of Default as described in Section 7.1(a), (b) (as a result of a default under Section 6.16), (f) or (g) or has occurred and is continuing or (iii) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes the Company will not be able to satisfy the full amount of such claim and the Company has failed to provide sufficient collateral to the Indemnified Party to secure the value of such claim.

If either the Company or the Required Lenders notifies the Administrative Agent that (i) any change in accounting principles from those used in the preparation of the financial statements of the Company referred to in Section 5.10 is hereafter occasioned by the promulgation of rules, regulations, pronouncements and opinions by or required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the American Institute of Certified Public Accounts (or successors thereto or agencies with similar functions), and such change affects the calculation of any component of any financial covenant, standard or term found in this Agreement, or (ii) there is a change in United States federal, state or foreign tax laws which affects the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ ability to comply with the financial covenants, standards or terms found in this Agreement, then the Company and the Lenders agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions (with the agreement of the Required Lenders or, if required by Section 10.11, all of the Lenders) so as to equitably reflect such changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating any of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ financial condition shall be the same after such changes as if such changes had not been made.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, any Other Agent, any Co-Arranger or any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
