ARTICLE 2

THE CREDITS

Section 2.01. The Committed Loans. On or after the Effective Date each of the Banks severally agrees, upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make Loans to the Company under this Section 2.01 from time to time prior to the Commitment Termination Date or the termination in full of such Bank’s Commitment, whichever is earlier, such that the Total Usage of such Bank shall at no time exceed such Bank’s Commitment in effect at such time. No more than twelve Tranches of Eurodollar Loans and Competitive Bid Loans (as set forth in Section 2.03(b) below) shall be outstanding at any time. Within such limits, the Company may borrow, repay and reborrow under this Section 2.01 Each borrowing from the Banks shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $10,000,000 and in multiples of $1,000,000.

Section 2.02. Method of Committed Borrowing.

A written Notice of Committed Borrowing shall be executed by an officer or a Designated Representative and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. A telephonic notice hereunder may only be provided by an officer or a Designated Representative, such notice to be promptly followed by a written Notice of Committed Borrowing executed as set forth above.

Section 2.03. Competitive Bid Borrowings. (a) In addition to Committed Loans pursuant to Section 2.01 the Company may, as set forth in this Section 2.03 from time to time prior to the Commitment Termination Date or earlier termination of the Commitments, request the Banks to make offers to make Competitive Bid Loans to the Company, but only to the extent that, after giving

effect thereto, the Total Usage of all Banks does not exceed the Total Commitments. Such Banks may, but shall have no obligation to, make such offers and the Company may, but shall have no obligation to, accept any such offers in the manner set forth in this Section.

(b) When the Company wishes to request offers to make Competitive Bid Loans under this Section, it shall transmit to the Administrative Agent by facsimile transmission a Competitive Bid Quote Request so as to be received no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on (x) the fourth Eurodollar Business Day prior to the date of the Loan proposed therein, in the case of a Eurodollar Auction or (y) the Domestic Business Day next preceding the date of the Loan proposed therein, in the case of a Rate Auction (or, in either case, such other time or date as the Company and the Administrative Agent shall have mutually agreed and shall have notified the Banks not later than the date of the Competitive Bid Quote Request for the first Eurodollar Auction or Rate Auction for which such change is to be effective) specifying:

(i) the proposed funding date of such Loan, which shall be a Eurodollar Business Day in the case of a Eurodollar Auction or a Domestic Business Day in the case of a Rate Auction,

(ii) the aggregate amount of such Loan, which shall be $10,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000,

The Company may request offers to make Competitive Bid Loans for more than one Interest Period in a single Competitive Bid Quote Request.

(c) Promptly upon receipt of a Competitive Bid Quote Request, the Administrative Agent shall send to the Banks by facsimile transmission an Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes, which shall constitute an invitation by the Company to each such Bank to submit Competitive Bid Quotes offering to make the Competitive Bid Loans to which such Competitive Bid Quote Request relates in accordance with this Section.

(d) (i) Each Bank may submit a Competitive Bid Quote containing an offer or offers to make Competitive Bid Loans in response to any Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes. Each Competitive Bid Quote must comply with the requirements of this subsection (d) and must be submitted to the Administrative Agent by facsimile transmission at its offices specified on the signature pages

hereto not later than (x) 10:45 a.m. (New York time) on the third Eurodollar Business Day prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a Eurodollar Auction or (y) 9:15 a.m. (New York time) on the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a Rate Auction (or, in either case, such other time or date as the Company and the Administrative Agent shall have mutually agreed and shall have notified the Banks not later than the date of the Competitive Bid Quote Request for the first Eurodollar Auction or Rate Auction for which such change is to be effective); provided that Competitive Bid Quotes submitted by the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate of the Administrative Agent) in the capacity of a Bank may be submitted, and may only be submitted, if the Administrative Agent or such affiliate in the capacity of a Bank notifies the Administrative Agent of the terms of the offer or offers contained therein not later than 15 minutes prior to the deadline for the other Banks. Subject to Articles 3 and 6, any Competitive Bid Quote so made shall be irrevocable except with the written consent of the Administrative Agent given on the instructions of the Company.

(ii) Each Competitive Bid Quote shall specify:

(A) the proposed date of borrowing,

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

(C) in the case of a Eurodollar Auction, the margin above or below the applicable Eurodollar Rate (the “Competitive Bid Margin”) offered for each such Competitive Bid Loan, expressed as a percentage (specified to the nearest 1/100th of 1%) to be added to or subtracted from such Eurodollar Rate,

(D) in the case of a Rate Auction, the rate of interest per annum (specified to the nearest 1/100th of 1%) (the “Competitive Bid Rate”) offered for each such Competitive Bid Loan, and

(E) the identity of the quoting Bank.

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

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

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

(B) contains qualifying, conditional or similar language;

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

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

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

(f) Not later than (x) 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the third Eurodollar Business Day prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a Eurodollar Auction, or (y) 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a Rate Auction (or, in either case, such other time or date as the Company and the Administrative Agent shall have mutually agreed and shall have notified to the Banks not later than the date of the Competitive Bid Quote Request for the first Eurodollar Auction or Rate Auction for which such change is to be effective), the Company shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephonic notice of its acceptance or non-acceptance of the offers so notified to it pursuant to subsection (e). A telephonic notice hereunder may only be provided by an officer or a Designated Representative. In the case of acceptance, such telephonic notice shall be promptly followed by a written notice executed by an officer or a Designated Representative (a “Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing”), substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto, specifying the aggregate principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted. The Company may accept any Competitive Bid Quote in whole or in part; provided that:

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

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

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

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

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

Section 2.04. Notice to Banks; Funding of Loans. (a) Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall give each Bank prompt notice of each such borrowing, specifying the relevant information including such Bank’s portion of such borrowing (if any) and the date on which funds are to be made available. If a Notice of Borrowing is revoked by the Company after receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, the Company shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.14.

(b) Not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date specified by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.04(a), each Bank participating therein shall make available its share of such borrowing, in Dollars, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.02. Unless (i) the Administrative Agent has not received a written Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.03(f) or (ii) the Administrative Agent determines that any applicable condition set forth in Article 3 has not been satisfied, the amounts so received by the Administrative Agent shall be made available immediately upon receipt to the Company by wire transfer in Dollars, in immediately available funds, to an account of the Company maintained at a financial institution located in the United States designated by the Company to the Administrative Agent.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Bank (x) not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of the borrowing, in the case of Base Rate Loans and (y) at least one Domestic Business Day prior to the date of the borrowing, in the case of any other Loans, that such Bank will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s share of the borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of the borrowing in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 2.04 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Company on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made such share available to the Administrative Agent, such Bank and the Company severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Company until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank’s Loan for purposes of this Agreement, and the Company shall not be required to repay such amount pursuant to this subsection (c).

(d) The failure of any Bank to make a Loan required to be made by it as part of any borrowing hereunder shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such borrowing, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make the Loan to be made by such other Bank on the date of the borrowing.

(e) If any Bank shall fail to make any Loan (the “Failed Loan”) which such Bank is otherwise obligated hereunder to make to the Company on the date of borrowing thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received notice from the Company or such Bank that any condition precedent to the making of the Failed Loan has not been satisfied, then, until such Bank shall have made or be deemed to have made (pursuant to the last sentence of this subsection (e)) the Failed Loan in full or the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Company or such Bank that any condition precedent to the Failed Loan was not satisfied at the time the Failed Loan was to have been made, whenever the Administrative Agent shall receive any amount from the Company for the account of such Bank, (i) the amount so received will, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been paid to the Bank in satisfaction of the obligation for which paid, without actual disbursement of such amount to the Bank, (ii) the Bank will be deemed to have made the same amount available to the Administrative Agent for disbursement as a Loan to the Company up to the amount of such Failed Loan and (iii) the Administrative Agent will, accordingly, disburse such amount (up to the amount of the Failed Loan) to the Company or, if the Administrative Agent has previously made such amount available to the Company on behalf of such Bank pursuant to the provisions hereof, reimburse itself (up to the amount of the amount made available to the Company); provided,

however, that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to disburse any such amount to the Company or otherwise apply it or deem it applied as provided herein unless the Administrative Agent shall have determined in its sole discretion that to so disburse such amount will not violate any law, rule, regulation or requirement applicable to the Administrative Agent. Upon any such disbursement by the Administrative Agent, such Bank shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Company in satisfaction, to the extent thereof, of such Bank’s obligation to make the Failed Loan. If and during the time that a Failed Loan shall exist, the Company shall have the right to terminate in full the Commitment of the Bank causing such Failed Loan as provided in Section 9.01(a).

Section 2.05. Conversion/Continuation of Loans. (a) With respect to Committed Loans, the Company shall have the option to (i) convert all or any part of (A) outstanding Base Rate Loans equal to $10,000,000 and multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount to Eurodollar Loans and (B) outstanding Eurodollar Loans equal to $10,000,000 and multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount to Base Rate Loans, or (ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to outstanding Eurodollar Loans, to continue all or any portion of such Loans equal to $10,000,000 and multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount as Eurodollar Loans. The Interest Period of any Base Rate Loan or Eurodollar Loan converted to a Fixed Rate Loan pursuant to clause (i) above shall commence on the date of such conversion. The succeeding Interest Period of any Fixed Rate Loan continued pursuant to clause (ii) above shall commence on the last day of the Interest Period of the Loan so continued. Eurodollar Loans may only be converted on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto or on the date required pursuant to Section 8.02.

(b) The Company shall deliver a written or telephonic notice of such continuation or conversion (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) to the Administrative Agent no later than (y) 1:00 p.m. (New York time) at least three Eurodollar Business Days (four Eurodollar Business Days if the Interest Period is for twelve months) in advance of the date of the proposed conversion to, or continuation of, a Eurodollar Loan, and (z) 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the day of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan. A written Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be executed by an officer or a Designated Representative, shall be in substantially the form attached as Exhibit F and shall specify: (i) the proposed conversion/continuation date (which shall be a Eurodollar Business Day in the case of a Eurodollar Loan or a Domestic Business Day in the case of a Base Rate Loan), (ii) the aggregate amount of the Loans being converted/continued, (iii) an election between the Base Rate and the Eurodollar Rate and (iv) in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of Eurodollar Loans, the requested Interest Period. A telephonic Notice of Conversion/Continuation may only be provided by an officer or a Designated Representative, which notice must be promptly followed by a written Notice of Conversion/Continuation executed as set forth above. Upon receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Administrative Agent shall give each Bank prompt

notice of the contents thereof and such Bank’s pro rata share of all conversions and continuations requested therein. If no timely Notice of Conversion/Continuation is delivered by the Company as to any Eurodollar Loan and such Loan is not repaid by the Company at the end of the applicable Interest Period, such Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan.

Section 2.06. Loan Accounts and Notes. (a) Except as provided in subsection (b) below, the Committed Loans and Competitive Bid Loans of each Bank shall be evidenced by a loan account in the Company’s name maintained by such Bank and the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. Such loan account maintained by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Loan made by such Bank to the Company, the interest accrued and payable thereon and all interest and principal payments made thereon. Any failure so to record or any error in doing so shall in no way limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Company hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans.

(b) Upon written request made to the Syndication Agent by a Bank, the Company shall deliver to the Syndication Agent for such Bank a single Committed Note and a single Competitive Bid Note, if applicable, evidencing the Committed Loans and the Competitive Bid Loans, respectively, of such requesting Bank, payable to the order of each such Bank for the account of its Applicable Lending Office. Each such Note shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit G-1 or G-2 hereto, as appropriate. Each reference in this Agreement to the “Note” or “Notes” of such Bank shall be deemed to refer to and include any or all of such Notes, as the context may require.

(c) Upon receipt from the Company of the requesting Bank’s Notes, the Syndication Agent shall forward such Notes to such Bank. Such Bank shall record the date and amount of each Loan made by it and the date and amount of each payment of principal made by the Company with respect thereto, and may, if such Bank so elects in connection with any transfer or enforcement of its Notes, endorse on the schedule forming a part thereof appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to each such Loan then outstanding; provided that the failure of any Bank that has requested a Note or Notes to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the Company hereunder or under the Note(s). Each Bank that receives a Note or Notes from the Company is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Company to so endorse its Note(s) and to attach to and make a part of its Note(s) a continuation of any such schedule as and when required.

Section 2.07. Payment of Principal. (a) Each Committed Loan shall fall due and be paid as to principal (i) on the Commitment Termination Date and (ii) on any date that the aggregate Total Usage of all Banks then outstanding exceeds Total Commitments, but ratably only to the extent of such excess.

(b) Each Competitive Bid Loan shall fall due and be paid as to principal on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan.

Section 2.08. Interest. Payment of interest on the Loans shall be in accordance with the following:

(a) Interest shall, subject to any decrease or increase pursuant to clause (d) of this Section 2.08, accrue (y) on each Base Rate Loan for each day at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for such day and (z) on each Eurodollar Loan for each day during each period commencing on the first day of an Interest Period therefor to but excluding the last day of such Interest Period, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Eurodollar Margin for such day, all as selected and specified in a notice to the Administrative Agent furnished pursuant to Section 2.02 or Section 2.05; provided that:

(i) each selection by the Company as between the Base Rate and the Eurodollar Rate shall be made, as among the Banks, pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments, except as variation from such pro-rationing may be required by virtue of suspension as to a particular Bank of its Commitment to make Eurodollar Loans, as contemplated by Section 8.02(a); and

(ii) subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.08 there may be outstanding hereunder at the same time Committed Loans (or portions thereof) which are Base Rate Loans and other Committed Loans (or portions thereof) which are Eurodollar Loans.

(b) If requested to do so by the Company, through the Administrative Agent, at least six Eurodollar Business Days before the beginning of any Interest Period applicable to a Eurodollar Loan, each Bank will advise the Company, through the Administrative Agent, before 10:00 a.m. (New York time) four Eurodollar Business Days preceding the beginning of such Interest Period, as to whether such Bank consents to the selection by the Company of a duration of twelve months for such Interest Period. If, but only if, all of the Banks so consent, the Company shall be entitled to select a duration of twelve months for such Interest Period pursuant to Section 2.02 or 2.05.

(c) Interest accrued on a Base Rate Loan shall be paid on each Quarterly Date and on the Commitment Termination Date (or earlier date of termination of the Commitments in their entirety). Interest accrued on a Eurodollar Loan shall be paid (i) on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan, (ii) in the case of a Eurodollar Loan with an Interest Period of more than three months, at intervals of three months from the first day of such Interest Period and (iii) on the date of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.09 or conversion pursuant to Section 8.02 (but only to the extent accrued with respect to the amount being prepaid or converted). Interest accrued on a Competitive Bid Loan shall be paid on the last day of the

Interest Period for such Loan, the date of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.09 or conversion pursuant to Section 8.02 or as provided in the Competitive Bid Quote Request for such Loan.

(d) The Eurodollar Margin shall be determined by reference to the senior unsecured long-term debt ratings of the Company by S&P and Xxxxx’x, as specified on Schedule I hereto. Any change in the Eurodollar Margin shall become effective on the day on which such a Rating Agency shall publicly announce a change in such rating.

(e) Subject to Section 8.02, each Competitive Bid Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period (determined as if the Competitive Bid Eurodollar Loan were a Eurodollar Loan) plus (or minus) the Competitive Bid Margin quoted by the Bank making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.03. Each Competitive Bid Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the Competitive Bid Rate quoted by the Bank making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.03.

(f) Interest on past-due principal and interest shall accrue at the Post-Default Rate during the period from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date that such amount is paid and shall be payable on demand.

(g) The Administrative Agent shall determine, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, each Base Rate and Eurodollar Rate applicable to the Loans hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Company and the Banks of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(h) Interest on Fixed Rate Loans and Base Rate Loans (if the Federal Funds Rate is the basis for the effective rate of interest) shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed, calculated as to each Interest Period (or period ending on a repayment date or date of conversion to a Eurodollar Loan or prepayment date selected pursuant to Section 2.09 or required pursuant to Section 8.02) from and including the first day thereof to but excluding the last day thereof. Interest on Base Rate Loans (if the Prime Rate is the effective rate of interest) shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and paid for the actual number of days elapsed, calculated from and including the date of such Base Rate Loan to but excluding the date of repayment or conversion of such Loan to a Fixed Rate Loan.

Section 2.09. Optional Prepayments. (a) The Company may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:30 a.m. (New York time) on the date of such prepayment, prepay Base Rate Loans (without penalty or premium), or any Competitive Bid Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate pursuant to Section

8.02 (without penalty or premium), in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating not less than $10,000,000.

(b) Subject to Section 2.14, the Company may, upon at least three Eurodollar Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay Eurodollar Loans, in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating not less than $10,000,000, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment.

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

(d) Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment, the Administrative Agent shall give each Bank prompt notice of the contents thereof and the amount of such Bank’s Loans being prepaid pursuant thereto.

Section 2.10. General Provisions as to Payments. (a) All payments by the Company of principal, interest, Facility Fee and other charges under this Agreement shall be made not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date when due, in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.02. If a Fed-Wire reference or tracer number for any such payment has been received, from the Company or otherwise, by the Administrative Agent by that time the Company will not be penalized for a payment received after 2:00 p.m. (New York time). The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Bank its ratable share of each such payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Base Rate Loans, the Competitive Bid Rate Loans or of the Facility Fee or any other amounts payable to the Banks hereunder shall be due on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Eurodollar Loans or the Competitive Bid Eurodollar Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Eurodollar Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Eurodollar Business Day unless such Eurodollar Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Eurodollar Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Company prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks hereunder that the Company will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Company has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an

amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent that the Company shall not have so made such payment, each Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

Section 2.11. Fees. (a) Commencing on the Effective Date, the Company agrees to pay to the Banks a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) on the daily actual aggregate amount of the Facility Fee Base at a rate per annum determined by reference to the senior unsecured long-term debt ratings of the Company by S&P and Xxxxx’x, as specified on Schedule I hereto. Any change in the Facility Fee shall become effective on the day on which such a Rating Agency publicly announces a change in such rating. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Facility Fees in respect of the Facility Fee Base, as defined below, of any Bank shall cease to accrue, and accrued but unpaid Facility Fees shall be payable, on the date (if any) on which such Bank’s Facility Fee Base is reduced to zero pursuant hereto. For this purpose the “Facility Fee Base” is the aggregate amount of the Credit Exposures; provided that following termination of the Commitments, the Facility Fee Base at any date shall not include any principal amounts bearing interest at such date at the Post Default Rate.

(b) Facility Fees payable pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) for the actual number of days elapsed. Facility Fees shall be payable in arrears on each Quarterly Date during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date the Facility Fee Base is reduced to zero and on the date the Facility Fee Base is reduced to zero and shall be paid by the Company to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks.

Section 2.12. Reduction or Termination of Commitments. The Company shall have the right at any time or from time to time, upon not less than three Domestic Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Commitments of the Banks, in whole or in part, provided that each partial termination shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $25,000,000 and a multiple of $5,000,000, and shall reduce the Commitments of the applicable Banks proportionately (the signature pages hereto shall be deemed to be amended to reflect the reduction in such Commitment); and provided further that after giving effect to any such termination or reduction and any prepayment or repayment of the Loans on or before the effective date thereof, the Total Usage of each Bank shall not exceed its Commitment as so reduced (or shall be zero in the case of the termination of the Commitments). The Administrative Agent shall give prompt written notice to each Bank of each such reduction or termination. The Commitment of a Bank may also be terminated under the provisions of Section 9.01(a).

Section 2.13. Lending Offices. Each Loan shall be made and maintained by the Applicable Lending Office of each respective Bank.

Section 5.03. Insurance. The Company will maintain, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to maintain, insurance from responsible companies in such amounts and against such risks as is customarily carried by owners of similar businesses and properties in the same general areas in which the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary operates or, to the customary extent, self-insurance.

Section 5.04. Maintenance of Existence. The Company will preserve and maintain, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to preserve and maintain, its corporate existence and all of its rights, privileges and franchises necessary or desirable in the normal conduct of its business, and conduct its business in an orderly, efficient and regular manner.

Section 5.07. Mergers, Consolidations and Sales of Assets. (a) The Company shall not consolidate with or merge into any other Person or convey or transfer its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, unless:

(i) the Company or another solvent corporation that is incorporated under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia is the surviving corporation of any such consolidation or merger or is the Person that acquires by conveyance or transfer the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety;

(ii) if a Person other than the Company is the surviving corporation as described in subsection (i) above or is the Person that acquires the property and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety, it shall expressly assume the performance of every covenant of this Agreement and of the Notes on the part of the Company, as the case may be, to be performed or observed;

(iii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(iv) if the Company is not the surviving corporation, the Company has delivered to the Syndication Agent an Officer’s Certificate and a legal opinion of its General Counsel, Associate General Counsel or Assistant General Counsel, upon the express instruction of the Company for the benefit of the Syndication Agent and the Banks, each stating that such transaction complies with this Section and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with.

(b) Liens on assets of a corporation or other entity existing at the time such corporation or other entity is merged into or consolidated with the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (to the extent applicable, in accordance with Section 5.07) or at the time of a purchase, lease or other acquisition of the assets of a corporation or other entity as an entirety or substantially as an entirety by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, whether or not any indebtedness secured by such Liens is assumed by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary;

(c) Liens on assets of a corporation or other entity existing at the time such corporation or other entity becomes a Restricted Subsidiary;

(d) Liens securing Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary owing to the Company or to another Restricted Subsidiary;

(e) materialmen’s, suppliers’, tax or other similar Liens arising in the ordinary course of business securing obligations which are not overdue or are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings; and Liens arising by operation of law in favor of any lender to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business constituting a banker’s lien or right of offset in moneys of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary deposited with such lender in the ordinary course of business;

(f) Liens on assets existing at the time of acquisition of such assets by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, or Liens to secure the payment of all or any part of the purchase price of assets upon the acquisition of such assets by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or to secure any Debt incurred or guaranteed by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary prior to, at the time of, or within one year after the later of the acquisition, completion of construction (including any improvements on an existing asset) or commencement of full operation of such asset, which Debt is incurred or guaranteed for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price thereof or construction or improvements thereon, and which Debt may be in the form of obligations incurred in connection with industrial revenue bonds or similar financings and letters of credit issued in connection therewith; provided, however, that in the case of any such acquisition, construction or improvement the Lien shall not apply to any asset theretofore owned by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, other than, in the case of any such construction or improvement, any theretofore unimproved real property on which the property so constructed or the improvement made is located;

(g) Liens in favor of any customer (including any Governmental Authority) to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments or performance pursuant to any contract or statute or to secure any related indebtedness or to secure Debt guaranteed by a Governmental Authority;

(h) Liens on cash or certificates of deposit or other bank obligations in an amount substantially equal in value (at the time such Liens are created) to, and securing, indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount not in excess of $300,000,000 (or the equivalent amount in a different currency);

(i) Liens equally and ratably securing the Loans and such Debt; provided that the Required Banks may, in their sole discretion, refuse to take any Lien on any asset (which refusal will not limit the Company’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s ability to incur a Lien otherwise permitted by this Section 5.08(i)); such Lien may equally and ratably secure the Loans and any other obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than an obligation that is subordinated to the Loans;

(j) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements) in whole or in part of any Lien referred to in the foregoing; provided, however, that the principal amount of Debt secured thereby shall not exceed the principal amount of Debt so secured at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement, and that such extension, renewal or replacement shall be limited to all or part of the asset which secured the Lien so extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements and construction on such asset); and

(k) Liens securing Debt in an aggregate amount that, together with all other Debt of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries that is secured by Liens not otherwise permitted under subsections (a) through (j) above (if originally issued, assumed or guaranteed at such time), does not at the time exceed the greater of 10% of Stockholders’ Equity as of the end of the fiscal quarter preceding the date of determination or $1,000,000,000. For purpose of this Section 5.08(k), the term “Consolidated Subsidiaries” in the definition of Stockholders’ Equity includes any Exempt Subsidiaries.

This covenant shall not apply to any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U in excess of 25% in value of the assets covered by this covenant. For the avoidance of doubt, the creation of a security interest arising solely as a result of, or the filing of UCC financing statements in connection with, any sale by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of accounts receivable not prohibited by Section 5.07 shall not constitute a Lien prohibited by this covenant.

Section 5.09. Leverage Ratio. The Company will not permit, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, the ratio of (a) Debt to (b) the sum of Debt and Stockholders’ Equity, each, on a consolidated basis to exceed 65.0%. For purposes of this Section 5.09, (i) the term “Consolidated Subsidiaries” in the definitions of Debt and Stockholders’ Equity includes any Exempt Subsidiaries, and (ii) Debt will exclude up to (x) $150,000,000 of Debt of Lockheed Xxxxxx Finance Corporation and (y) $500,000,000 of Debt consisting of guarantees.

Section 5.10. Use of Facility. The Company will use the proceeds of the Loans for any lawful corporate purposes.

Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable to any Bank 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.

No Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks (or such other number or percentage of the Banks as required by the terms of this Agreement) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made by any Person in connection with this Agreement or any borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Company; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article 3, except receipt of items required to be delivered to such Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness (except for its own due execution and delivery) or genuineness of this Agreement, the Notes or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith.

ARTICLE 8

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

Section 8.01. Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy. (a) If after the date hereof, in the case of any Committed Loan, or the date of the related Competitive Bid Quote, in the case of any Competitive Bid Loan, a Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System pursuant to Regulation D) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank or shall impose on any Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting such Bank’s Fixed Rate Loans or its Notes, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank of making or maintaining any such Fixed Rate Loans, or to reduce the

amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank under this Agreement or under its Note, by an amount deemed by such Bank to be material, then, within 15 days after written demand therefor made through the Administrative Agent, in the form of the certificate referred to in Section 8.01(c), the Company shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any such compensation with respect to any period prior to the 30th day before the date of any such demand.

(b) Without limiting the effect of Section 8.01(a) (but without duplication), if any Bank determines at any time after the date on which this Agreement becomes effective that a Change in Law will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required to be maintained by such Bank (or its Parent) based on the existence of such Bank’s Loans, Commitment and/or other obligations hereunder, then the Company shall pay to such Bank, within 15 days after its written demand therefor made through the Administrative Agent in the form of the certificate referred to in Section 8.01(c) such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Bank for any reduction in the rate of return on capital of such Bank (or its Parent) as a result of such increased capital requirement; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any such compensation with respect to any period prior to the 30th day before the date of any such demand; provided further, however, that to the extent (i) a Bank shall increase its level of capital above the level maintained by such Bank on the date of this Agreement and there has not been a Change in Law or (ii) there has been a Change in Law and a Bank shall increase its level of capital by an amount greater than the increase attributable (taking into consideration the same variables taken into consideration in determining the level of capital maintained by such Bank on the date of this Agreement) to such Change in Law, the Company shall not be required to pay any amount or amounts under this Agreement with respect to any such increase in capital. Thus, for example, a Bank which is “adequately capitalized” (as such term or any similar term is used by any applicable bank regulatory agency having authority with respect to such Bank) may not require the Company to make payments in respect of increases in such Bank’s level of capital made under the circumstances described in clause (i) or (ii) above which improve its capital position from “adequately capitalized” to “well capitalized” (as such term or any similar term is used by any applicable bank regulatory agency having authority with respect to such Bank).

(c) Each Bank will promptly notify the Company, through the Administrative Agent, of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date on which this Agreement becomes effective, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 8.01 and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section 8.01 and setting forth the additional

amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and setting forth the basis for the determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Bank shall act reasonably and in good faith, and may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

Section 8.02. Illegality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if, after the date on which this Agreement becomes effective, a Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Bank to (i) honor any Commitment it may have hereunder to make any Eurodollar Loan, then such Commitment shall be suspended, or (ii) maintain any Eurodollar Loan or any Competitive Bid Eurodollar Loan, then all Eurodollar Loans and Competitive Bid Eurodollar Loans of such Bank then outstanding shall be converted into Base Rate Loans as provided in Section 8.02(b), and any remaining Commitment of such Bank hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans (but not other Loans) shall be immediately suspended, in either case until such Bank may again make and/or maintain Eurodollar Loans (as the case may be), and borrowings from such Bank, at a time when borrowings from the other Banks are to be of Eurodollar Loans, shall be made, simultaneously with such borrowings from the other Banks, by way of Base Rate Loans. Upon the occurrence of any such change, such Bank shall promptly notify the Company thereof (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), and shall furnish to the Company in writing evidence thereof certified by such Bank. Before giving any notice pursuant to this Section 8.02, such Bank shall designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the sole reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

(b) Any conversion of any outstanding Eurodollar Loan or an outstanding Competitive Bid Loan which is required under this Section 8.02 shall be effected immediately (or, if permitted by applicable law, on the last day of the Interest Period therefor).

Section 8.03. Taxes on Payments. (a) All payments in respect of the Loans shall be made free and clear of and without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any present and future taxes, assessments or governmental charges imposed by the United States, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, excluding taxes imposed on a Bank’s net income and franchise taxes (all such non-excluded taxes being hereinafter called “Taxes”), except as expressly provided in this Section 8.03, If any Taxes are imposed and required by law to be deducted or withheld from any amount payable to any Bank, then the Company shall (i) increase the amount of such payment so that such Bank will receive a net amount (after deduction of all Taxes) equal to the amount due hereunder, (ii) pay such Taxes to the appropriate taxing authority for the account of such Bank, and (iii) as promptly as possible thereafter, send such Bank evidence showing payment thereof, together with such additional documentary evidence as such Bank may from time to time require. If the Company fails to perform its obligations under (ii) or (iii) above, the Company shall indemnify such Bank for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that

may become payable as a result of any such failure; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to make any payment to any Bank under this Section 8.03 if withholding is required in respect of such Bank by reason of such Bank’s inability or failure to furnish under subsection (c) a duly completed extension or renewal of a Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI (or successor form), as applicable, unless such inability results from an amendment to or a change in any applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any regulatory authority (including without limitation any change in an applicable tax treaty), which amendment or change becomes effective after the date hereof.

(b) The Company shall indemnify the Agents and each Bank against any transfer taxes, documentary taxes, assessments or charges made by any Governmental Authority by reason of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any Notes (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) Each Bank that is a foreign person (i.e. a person who is not a United States person for United States federal income tax purposes) (a “Foreign Person”) agrees that it shall deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) (i) within twenty Domestic Business Days after the date on which this Agreement becomes effective or the date of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement whereby it became a “Bank” hereunder, two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as appropriate, indicating that such Bank is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, (ii) from time to time, such duly completed extensions or renewals of such forms (or successor forms) as may reasonably be requested by the Company or as are required under applicable law but only to the extent such Bank determines that it may properly effect such extensions or renewals under applicable tax treaties, laws, regulations and directives and (iii) in the event of a transfer of any Loan to a subsidiary or affiliate of such Bank, a new Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or any successor form), as the case may be, for such subsidiary or affiliate indicating that such subsidiary or affiliate is, on the date of delivery thereof, entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. The Company and the Administrative Agent shall each be entitled to rely on such forms in its possession until receipt of any revised or successor form pursuant to the preceding sentence.

(d) If a Bank, at the time it first becomes a party to this Agreement (or because of a change in an Applicable Lending Office) is subject to a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes and Other Taxes, respectively. For any period with respect to which a Bank has failed to provide the Company with the appropriate form pursuant to Section 8.03(c) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or in the interpretation thereof by any regulatory authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Bank shall not be entitled to additional

payments under Section 8.03(a) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Bank, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Company shall take such steps as such Bank shall reasonably request to assist such Bank to recover such Taxes.

(e) If the Company is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Bank pursuant to this Section 8.03, then such Bank will change the jurisdiction of one or more Applicable Lending Offices so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the sole judgment of such Bank, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

(f) If any Bank is able to apply for any credit, refund, deduction or other reduction in Taxes or Other Taxes in an amount which is reasonably determined by such Bank to be material, which arises by reason of any payment made by the Company pursuant to this Section 8.03, such Bank will use reasonable efforts to obtain such credit, refund, deduction or other reduction and, upon receipt thereof, will pay to the Company an amount, not exceeding the amount of such payment by the Company, equal to the net after tax value to such Bank, in its good faith determination, of such part of such credit, refund, deduction or other reduction as it determines to be allocable to such payment by the Company, having regard to all of its dealings giving rise to similar credits, refunds, deductions or other reductions during the same tax period and to the cost of obtaining the same; provided, however, that (i) such Bank shall not be obligated to disclose to the Company any information regarding its tax affairs or computations and (ii) nothing contained in this Section 8.03(f) shall be construed so as to interfere with the right of such Bank to arrange its tax affairs as it deems appropriate.

ARTICLE 9

Upon the Company’s selection of a bank to replace a Retiring Bank, such bank’s agreement thereto and the fulfillment of the conditions to assignment and assumption set forth in Section 9.08, such bank shall become a Bank hereunder for all purposes in accordance with Section 9.08.

Section 9.04. Expenses; Indemnification.

Section 9.07. Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement or the Notes may be amended or waived if, but only if, such

amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Company and the Required Banks (and, if the rights or duties of any Agent are affected thereby, by it); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by each affected Bank, (i) subject any Bank to any additional obligation, (ii) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder or (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or for termination of any Commitment; and provided further that, no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by all the Banks, change the percentage of the Credit Exposures that shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any action under this Section 9.07 or any other provision of this Agreement.

Section 9.08. Successors and Assigns; Participations; Novation. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby; provided that, except in accordance with Sections 5.04 and 5.07, the Company may not assign or transfer any of its respective rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of all Banks.

(b) Any Bank may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Bank’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Bank or an affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund with respect to a Bank, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as hereinafter defined, with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to rights in respect of outstanding Competitive Bid Loans and (d)(iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit K hereto (an “Assignment and Assumption Agreement”), together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Bank, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this

Agreement, and the assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement covering all of the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 8.01, Section 8.03 and 9.04). Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Any Bank may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Company or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other financial institutions (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Bank’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Company, the Administrative Agent and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Bank sells such a participation shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Bank will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 9.07 that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, the Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article 8 to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Bank, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 9.06 as though it were a Bank.

(e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Article 8 than the applicable Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Company’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Person if it were a Bank shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.03 unless the Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Company, to comply with Section 8.03(c) as though it were a Bank.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 9.08 to the contrary, any Bank may assign or pledge any of its rights and interests in the Loans to a Federal Reserve Bank without the consent of the Company.

Section 9.09. Designated Lenders. (a) Subject to the provisions of this subsection (a), any Bank may at any time designate an Approved Fund to provide all or a portion of the Loans to be made by such Bank pursuant to this Agreement; provided that such designation shall not be effective unless the Company and the Administrative Agent consent thereto (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld). When a Bank and its Approved Fund shall have signed an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit L hereto (a “Designation Agreement”) and the Company and the Administrative Agent shall have signed their respective consents thereto, such Approved Fund shall become a Designated Lender for purposes of this Agreement. The Designating Bank shall thereafter have the right to permit such Designated Lender to provide all or a portion of the Loans to be made by such Designating Bank pursuant to Section 2.01 or 2.03, and the making of such Loans or portion thereof shall satisfy the obligation of the Designating Bank to the same extent, and as if, such Loans or portion thereof were made by the Designating Bank. As to any Loans or portion thereof made by it, each Designated Lender shall have all the rights that a Bank making such Loans or portion thereof would have had under this Agreement and otherwise; provided that (x) its voting rights under this Agreement shall be exercised solely by its Designating Bank; (y) its Designating Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such Designated Lender’s obligations under this Agreement, including its obligations in respect of the Loans or portion thereof made by it, and (z) such Designated Lender shall be subject to the limitations of Section 9.08(e) to the same extent as a Participant. No additional Note shall be required to evidence the Loans or portion thereof made by a Designated Lender; and the Designating Bank shall be deemed to hold its Note as agent for its Designated Lender to the extent of the Loans or portion thereof funded by such Designated Lender. Each Designating Bank shall act as administrative agent for its Designated Lender and give and receive notices and other communications on its behalf. Any payments for the account of any Designated Lender shall be paid to its Designating Bank as administrative agent for such Designated Lender and neither the Company nor the Administrative Agent shall be responsible for any Designating Bank’s application of such payments. In addition, any Designated Lender may, with notice to (but without

the prior written consent of) the Company and the Administrative Agent assign all or portions of its interest in any Loans to its Designating Bank or to any financial institutions consented to by the Company and the Administrative Agent that provide liquidity and/or credit facilities to or for the account of such Designated Lender to support the funding of Loans or portions thereof made by it.

(b) Each party to this Agreement agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, any Designated Lender any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and a day after all outstanding senior indebtedness of such Designated Lender is paid in full. The Designating Bank for each Designated Lender agrees to indemnify, save, and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage and expense arising out of its inability to institute any such proceeding against such Designated Lender. This subsection (b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 9.10. Visitation. Subject to restrictions imposed by applicable security clearance regulations, the Company will upon reasonable notice permit representatives of any Bank at such Bank’s expense to visit any of its major properties.

Section 9.11. No Reliance on Margin Stock. Each of the Banks represents to the Administrative Agent and each of the other Banks that it in good faith is not relying upon any “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation U) as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

Section 9.12. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and each Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York. Each of the Company, the Agents and the Banks hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State Court sitting in New York for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the Company, the Agents and the Banks irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Section 9.13. Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

Section 9.14. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE AGENTS AND THE BANKS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

For purposes of this Schedule, the following terms have the following meanings (subject to the final paragraph of this Schedule):

“Level I Pricing” applies on any day if on such day the Company’s unsecured long-term debt is rated A- or higher by S&P or A3 or higher by Moody’s.

“Level II Pricing” applies on any day if on such day Level I Pricing does not apply and the Company’s unsecured long-term debt is rated BBB+ or higher by S&P or Baa1 or higher by Moody’s.

“Level III Pricing” applies on any day if on such day none of Level I Pricing or Level II Pricing applies and the Company’s unsecured long-term debt is rated BBB or higher by S&P or Baa2 or higher by Moody’s.

“Level IV Pricing” applies on any day if on such day none of Level I Pricing, Level II Pricing or Level III Pricing applies and the Company’s unsecured long-term debt is rated BBB- or higher by S&P or Baa3 or higher by Moody’s.

“Level V Pricing” applies on any day if no other Pricing Level applies.

“Moody’s” means Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. and its successors.

“Pricing Level” refers to the determination of which of Level I Pricing, Level II Pricing, Level III Pricing, Level IV Pricing or Level V Pricing applies. Level I Pricing is the lowest Pricing Level and Level V Pricing the highest.

amount of the Commitments at such date. If for any reason any Loans remain outstanding following the termination of the Commitments, Usage will be deemed to be 100%.

The credit ratings to be utilized for purposes of this Pricing Schedule are those assigned to the senior unsecured long-term debt securities of the Company without third-party credit enhancement, and any rating assigned to any other debt security of the Company shall be disregarded. The credit ratings in effect on any day are those in effect at the close of business on such day. If the Company is split-rated and the ratings differential is one notch, the higher of the two ratings will apply (e.g., BBB/Baa3 results in Level III Pricing). If the Company is split-rated and the ratings differential is more than one notch, the average of the two ratings (or the higher of two intermediate ratings) shall be used (e.g., BBB/Ba1 results in Level IV Pricing, as does BBB/Ba2).

If the Company receives notice from a Rating Agency of a change in the rating of its senior unsecured long-term debt, the Company will advise the Administrative Agent.
