If (and only if) the Required Banks (not including the newly undertaken commitments of any Additional Banks) have agreed to extend their Commitment Termination Date, the Borrower shall have the right on or before the Existing Termination Date to replace each Non-Extending Bank with, and add as “Banks” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more Purchasing Banks (each, an “Additional Bank”) as provided in Sections 6.6 and 13.5(c), each of which Additional Banks shall have entered into a Transfer Supplement pursuant to which such Additional Bank shall, effective as of the date (no later than the Existing Termination Date) specified in such Transfer Supplement, undertake a Commitment (and, if any such Additional Bank is already a Bank, its Commitment shall be in addition to such Bank’s Commitment hereunder on such date).

(e) Minimum Extension Requirement. If (and only if) the Required Banks (not including the newly undertaken commitments of any Additional Banks) have agreed so to extend their Commitment Termination Date (each, an “Extending Bank”) immediately prior to the applicable Loan Anniversary, then, the Commitment Termination Date of each Extending Bank and of each Additional Bank shall be the date falling one year after the Existing Termination Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Commitment Termination Date as so extended shall be the next preceding Business Day) and, as of the date specified in the Transfer Supplement pursuant to which an Additional Bank agrees to become a “Bank” for all purposes of this Agreement, such Additional Bank shall become a “Bank” for all purposes this Agreement.

(f) Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the extension of the Commitment Termination Date pursuant to this Section shall not be effective with respect to any Bank unless:

(i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such extension and after giving effect thereto;

(ii) Borrower delivers a certificate attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower’s Board of Directors or Funding Committee, as the case may be, approving or consenting to such extension;

(iii) the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects (except, if a qualifier relating to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or a similar concept applies to any representation or warranty, such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date of such extension and after giving effect thereto, as though made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date); and

(iv) since the date of the financial statements most recently delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 9.1(a), no event, circumstance or development shall have occurred that constitutes, has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(g) Updated Schedule 1. Promptly after each such extension, the Administrative Agent shall prepare and deliver to each remaining Bank an updated Schedule 1 to this Agreement, listing the Banks, Commitments and Pro Rata Share after giving effect to such extension.

(h) Conflicting Provisions. This Section 2.8 shall supersede any provisions in Section 13.4 or Section 5.7 to the contrary.

2.9 Defaulting Banks.

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then, until such time as that Bank is no longer a Defaulting Bank, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Bank’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Banks” and Section 13.4.

(ii) Defaulting Bank Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Bank (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 11 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 5.7 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 Bank to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Bank has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Bank’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Bank against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Bank as a result of such Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Bank 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 Bank has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Banks on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Bank until such time as all Loans are held by the Banks pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Bank that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Bank shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Bank, and each Bank irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. Each Defaulting Bank shall be entitled to receive fees payable under Sections 2.7 for any period during which that Bank is a Defaulting Bank only to extent allocable to the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the Committed Loans funded by it.

(b) Defaulting Bank Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Bank is no longer a Defaulting Bank, 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, that Bank will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Bank or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Committed Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Banks in accordance with their Pro Rata Share, whereupon such Bank will cease to be a Defaulting Bank; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Bank was a Defaulting Bank; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Bank to Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Bank’s having been a Defaulting Bank.

Section 3. Borrowings and Prepayments.

3.1 Borrowings. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice of each borrowing of Committed Loans to be made hereunder as provided in Section 5.5. Not later than 1:30 p.m. New York time on the date specified for each such borrowing hereunder, each Bank shall make available the amount of the Committed Loan to be made by it on such date to the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Office, in immediately available funds, for the account of the Borrower. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice of each borrowing of Money Market Loans to be made hereunder as provided in Section 2.3(f). Not later than 2:30 p.m. New York time on the date specified for each such borrowing hereunder, each Bank whose offer to make Money Market Loans has been accepted shall make available the amount of the Money Market Loan to be made by it on such date to the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Office, in immediately available funds, for the account of the Borrower. The amounts so received by the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to the Borrower by depositing the same, in immediately available funds, in an account specified by the Borrower or, if no such account is specified, in an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Office.

3.2 Prepayments of Loans. The Borrower shall have the right to prepay Committed Loans at any time or from time to time; provided, that (a) the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice of each such prepayment as provided in Section 5.5 and (b) prepayments of Eurodollar Loans shall be made together with all amounts payable pursuant to Section 6.5. The Borrower may not prepay Money Market Loans prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto without the consent of the Bank or Banks holding such Money Market Loans.

Section 4. Payments of Principal and Interest.

4.1 Maturity of Loans. Each Loan other than a Money Market Loan shall mature, and the Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank the outstanding principal of each such Loan made by such Bank, on the Commitment Termination Date. Each Money Market Loan shall mature, and the Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank the outstanding principal amount of each Money Market Loan made by such Bank, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Money Market Loan.

4.2 Interest. The Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by such Bank for the period commencing on the date of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

(a) If such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) If such Loan is a Eurodollar Loan, for each Interest Period relating thereto, LIBOR for such Loan for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) If such Loan is a Money Market LIBOR Loan, LIBOR for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor plus (or minus) the Money Market Margin quoted by the Bank making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.3.

(d) If such Loan is a Money Market Absolute Rate Loan, the Money Market Absolute Rate for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor quoted by the Bank making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.3.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank interest on any principal of any Loan made by such Bank and on any other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder to or for the account of such Bank (including, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest) during the continuance of an Event of Default at the applicable Post-Default Rate before as well as after judgment and before and after the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar debtor relief law. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period for such Loan (and, if such Interest Period exceeds three months’ duration, quarterly, commencing on the first quarterly anniversary of the first day of such Interest Period) and, upon the prepayment thereof (but only on the principal so prepaid), except that interest payable at the

Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand of the Administrative Agent and interest on any Eurodollar Loan or Money Market Loan that is converted into a Base Rate Loan (pursuant to Section 6.4) shall be payable on the date of conversion (but only to the extent so converted). Promptly after the determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Banks to which such interest is payable.

4.3 Interest Periods. With respect to any Loan, the term “Interest Period” shall mean:

(a) With respect to any Eurodollar Loans, each period commencing on the date such Loans are made, converted from a Loan of another type or continued and ending on the same day in the first, second, third or sixth calendar month thereafter, as the Borrower may select as provided in Section 5.5.

(b) Subject to Section 4.3(c), with respect to any Base Rate Loans, each period commencing on (i) the date such Loans are made or converted from Loans of another type, or (ii) if outstanding beyond the end of the first Interest Period applicable thereto, the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period, and ending on the day which is the next succeeding Quarterly Date thereafter.

(c) With respect to Base Rate Loans converted from Money Market Loans pursuant to Section 6.4, prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the period commencing on the date of such conversion and ending on the day the Interest Period for such Money Market Loan would have ended had such conversion not occurred (on which date such Base Rate Loan shall be due and payable in accordance with Sections 4.1 and 6.4).

(d) With respect to any Money Market LIBOR Loans, each period commencing on the date such Loans are made and ending on the same day in the first, second, third or sixth calendar month thereafter as the Borrower may select as provided in Section 2.3.

(e) With respect to any Money Market Absolute Rate Loans, each period commencing on the date such Loans are made and ending on the number of days thereafter (but not less than seven days nor more than 360 days) as the Borrower may select as provided in Section 2.3.

Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) (x) each Interest Period which would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day shall end on the next succeeding Business Day (or, in the case of an Interest Period for Eurodollar Loans or Money Market LIBOR Loans, if such next succeeding Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, on the immediately preceding Business Day); (y) no more than six Interest Periods for all Eurodollar Loans and Money Market LIBOR Loans shall be in effect at the same time (for which purpose Interest Periods described in different paragraphs above shall be different Interest Periods even if they are coterminous); and (z) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Commitment Termination Date; and

(ii) The Borrower may (x) continue any Eurodollar Loan as such, or convert any Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan, in each case, effective upon the last day of the Interest

Period then applicable thereto, or (y) convert any Base Rate Loan into a Eurodollar Loan (provided, in each case, that no Event of Default shall then exist), by giving notice in accordance with Section 5.5 as if such continuation or conversion were the borrowing of a Loan of the type into which such Loan is being converted (or, in the case of a continuation, of a Eurodollar Loan); and references to notices of borrowing or to borrowings in Sections 5.4 and 5.5 and in the definition of “Business Day” shall include, respectively, notices of continuation or conversion and continuations or conversions. If, in connection with any continuation of or conversion into a Eurodollar Loan, the Borrower neglects to elect an Interest Period therefor, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested an Interest Period of one month. The provisions of Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 and 6.5 shall apply to voluntary continuations of and conversions into Eurodollar Loans as if such continuation or conversion were the making (or borrowing, as the case may be) of a Eurodollar Loan.

Section 5. Payments; Pro Rata Treatment; Computations; Etc..

5.1 Payments. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by the Borrower hereunder and under the Notes shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. New York time on the date such payment shall become due (each such payment made on such due date but after such time shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). If a new Loan is to be made by any Bank on a date the Borrower is to repay any principal of an outstanding Loan of such Bank, such Bank shall apply the proceeds of such new Loan to the payment of the principal to be repaid and only an amount equal to the excess of the principal to be borrowed over the principal to be repaid, subject to Section 7.2, shall be made available by such Bank to the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 3.1 or paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 5.1, as the case may be. The Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment hereunder or under any Note, specify to the Administrative Agent the Loans or other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied (and in the event that it fails to so specify, or if a Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may apply such payment in the manner determined by the Required Banks, but subject to Section 5.2). Each payment received by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note for the account of a Bank shall be paid promptly to such Bank, in immediately available funds, for the account of such Bank’s Applicable Lending Office for the Loan in respect of which such payment is made. If the due date of any payment hereunder or under any Note would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable for any principal so extended for the period of such extension.

5.2 Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from the Banks under Section 2.1 shall be made by the Banks and each payment of Facility Fees under Section 2.7, shall be made for the account of the Banks, and each reduction of the Commitments under Section 2.2 shall be applied to the Commitments of the Banks, in each case, according to their respective Pro Rata Share, (b) each payment of principal of or interest on Committed Loans by the Borrower of a particular type shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks holding Loans of such type pro rata in

accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Committed Loans held by such Banks and (c) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each payment of principal of or interest on Money Market Loans by the Borrower shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks holding Money Market Loans pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Money Market Loans held by such Banks.

5.3 Computations. Interest on Eurodollar Loans, Money Market Loans, Base Rate Loans determined by using the Federal Funds Rate or LIBOR and Facility Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or Facility Fees are payable and interest on Base Rate Loans (other than Base Rate Loans determined by using the Federal Funds Rate or LIBOR) shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.

5.4 Certain Minimum Amounts. Each partial reduction in the Commitments, and each borrowing or prepayment of principal of Committed Loans shall be in an amount equal to the relevant minimum amounts or corresponding larger whole multiples specified below:


	Minimum Amount		Multiples of

Reduction of Commitments	$	10,000,000	$	1,000,000

Borrowing of:
Base Rate Loans	$	10,000,000	$	1,000,000
Eurodollar Loans	$	10,000,000	$	1,000,000

Prepayment of:
Base Rate Loans	$	10,000,000	$	1,000,000
Eurodollar Loans	$	10,000,000	$	1,000,000

Borrowings of Base Rate Loans may be in any amount if such borrowing exhausts the full remaining amount of the Commitments. Borrowings or prepayments of Loans of different types or, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, having different Interest Periods at the same time hereunder shall be deemed separate borrowings or prepayments for the purposes of the foregoing, one for each type or Interest Period. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the aggregate principal amount of Eurodollar Loans having the same Interest Period shall be at least equal to the minimum amount set forth above.

5.5 Certain Notices. Notices by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent of terminations or reductions of Commitments, of borrowings and prepayments of Committed Loans shall be irrevocable and shall be effective only if received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. New York time or 3:00 p.m. New York time in the case of a prepayment of Base Rate Loans) on the number of Business Days prior to the date of the relevant termination, reduction, borrowing or prepayment specified below:


	Number of Business Days Prior Notice

Termination or reduction of Commitments		3

Borrowing of:
Base Rate Loans		0
Eurodollar Loans		3

Prepayment of:
Base Rate Loans		1
Eurodollar Loans		3

Each such notice of termination or reduction shall specify the amount of the Commitments to be terminated or reduced. Each such notice of borrowing or prepayment shall specify the Loans to be borrowed or prepaid and the amount (subject to Section 5.4) and type of the Loans to be borrowed or prepaid and the date of borrowing or prepayment (which shall be a Business Day) and, with respect to borrowings of Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period therefor. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Banks of the contents of each such notice. In the event that the Borrower fails to select the duration of any Interest Period for Eurodollar Loans within the time period as provided in this Section 5.5, such Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans.

5.6 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Bank or the Borrower (each, a “Payor”) prior to the time at which such Bank is to make payment to the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of a Loan to be made by it hereunder or the Borrower is to make a payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of one or more of the Banks, as the case may be (such payment being herein called the “Required Payment”), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that such Payor does not intend to make the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient on such date and, if the Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient (whether a Bank or the Borrower) of such payment made by the Administrative Agent shall, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount made available to it together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date (the “Advance Date”) such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent to such recipient until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for such day. If such recipient fails promptly to repay the Administrative Agent the amount received by it, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover (without duplication) such amount, on demand, from the Payor, together with interest as aforesaid, provided that if neither the recipient nor the Payor shall return the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent within three Business Days of the Advance Date, then, retroactively to the Advance Date, the Payor and the recipient shall each be obligated to pay interest on the Required Payment as follows:

(i) if the Required Payment shall represent a payment to be made by the Borrower to the Banks, the Borrower and the recipient shall each be obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay interest in respect of the Required Payment at the Post-Default Rate (and, in case the recipient shall return the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, without limiting the obligation of the Borrower under Section 4.2 hereof to pay interest to such recipient at the Post-Default Rate in respect of the Required Payment); and

(ii) if the Required Payment shall represent proceeds of a Loan to be made by the Banks to the Borrower, the Payor and the Borrower shall each be obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay interest in respect of the Required Payment at the rate of interest provided for such Required Payment pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof (and, in case the Borrower shall return the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent, without limiting any claim the Borrower may have against the Payor in respect of the Required Payment).

5.7 Sharing of Payments, Etc.. If any Bank shall effect payment, in cash or otherwise, of any Facility Fees or any principal of or interest on a Loan made by it to the Borrower under this Agreement through the exercise of any right of set-off, bankers’ lien, counterclaim or similar right, and such Bank shall have received a greater percentage, in cash or otherwise, of the Facility Fees or the principal or interest then due hereunder to such Bank in respect of its Loans than the percentage received by any other Bank, it shall promptly purchase from the other Banks participations in the Loans made by the other Banks in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable to the end that all the Banks shall share the benefit of such payment pro rata in accordance with the unpaid Facility Fees, principal and interest on the Loans held by each of them. To such end all the Banks shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. The Borrower agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation in the Loans made by the other Banks under this Section 5.7 may to the extent permitted by applicable law exercise all rights of set-off, bankers’ lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were a direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Bank to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Bank to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in a Loan, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. In the event that any Defaulting Bank 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 2.9 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Bank from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Banks, and (y) the Defaulting Bank shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Bank as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

Section 6. Yield Protection and Illegality.

6.1 Additional Costs. (a) If, due to any Regulatory Change, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Bank of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or Money Market Loans (other than Non-Excluded Taxes), then the Borrower with respect to its Eurodollar Loans or Money Market Loans shall from time to time, within thirty (30) days of a demand by such Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay directly to such Bank additional amounts sufficient to reimburse such Bank for such increased cost (“Additional Costs”). Each Bank will notify the Borrower of any event which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 6.1(a) as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof (provided that failure or delay on the part of any Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 6.1(a) shall not constitute a waiver of such Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Bank for such Additional Costs if such Bank obtained knowledge of such Additional Costs more than 180 days prior to the date that such Bank notifies the Borrower of such Additional Costs; provided, further, that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such Additional Costs is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof), and will, use its reasonable efforts to designate a different Applicable Lending Office for the Loans of such Bank affected by such event if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole discretion of such Bank, be disadvantageous to the Bank or contrary to its policies. Each Bank will furnish the Borrower with a certificate (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) setting forth the basis and amount of each request by such Bank for compensation under this Section 6.1(a). If any Bank requests compensation from the Borrower under this Section 6.1(a), the Borrower may, by notice to such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Bank to make additional Loans of the type with respect to which such compensation is requested until the Regulatory Change giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 6.4 hereof shall be applicable).

(b) Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1, in the event that, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Bank either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Bank which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans or Money Market Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Bank which includes Eurodollar Loans or Money Market Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets which it may hold, then, if such Bank so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Bank to make Loans of such type hereunder shall be suspended until the date such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 6.4 shall be applicable).

(c) Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1 (but without duplication), the Borrower shall pay directly to each Bank from time to time within thirty (30) days of any request such amounts as such Bank may determine after the date hereof to be necessary to compensate such Bank for any costs which it determines are attributable to the maintenance by it or any of its affiliates pursuant to any Regulatory Change of capital or liquidity requirements in respect of its Loans hereunder or its obligation to make Loans

hereunder (such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to any reduction in return on assets or equity of such Bank to a level below that which it could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change). Each Bank will notify the Borrower if it is entitled to compensation pursuant to this Section 6.1(c) as promptly as practicable; provided, that failure or delay on the part of any Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 6.1(c) shall not constitute a waiver of such Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Bank for such costs if such Bank obtained knowledge of such costs more than 180 days prior to the date that such Bank notifies the Borrower of such costs; provided, further, that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such costs is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. Each Bank will furnish the Borrower with a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request by such Bank for compensation under this Section 6.1(c).

(d) Determinations and allocations by any Bank for purposes of this Section 6.1 of the effect of any Regulatory Change pursuant to Sections 6.1(a) or (b), or the effect of capital or liquidity maintained pursuant to Section 6.1(c), on its costs of making or maintaining Loans or on amounts received or receivable by it in respect of Loans, and of the additional amounts required to compensate such Bank in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis.

6.2 Limitation on Types of Loans. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of any interest rate for any Eurodollar Loans or any Money Market LIBOR Loans for any Interest Period therefor:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of “LIBOR” in Section 1 hereof are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities or that adequate and fair means do not otherwise exist for purposes of determining the rate of interest for such Loans as provided in this Agreement; or

(b) the Required Banks (or any Bank that has outstanding a Money Market Quote with respect to a Money Market LIBOR Loan) determine (which determination shall be conclusive) and notify the Administrative Agent that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of “LIBOR” in Section 1 hereof upon the basis of which the rate of interest for such Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined do not accurately reflect the cost to the Banks of making or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower and each Bank prompt notice thereof, and so long as such condition remains in effect, the Banks (or such Bank with an outstanding Money Market Quote, as the case may be) shall be under no obligation to make Loans of such type.

6.3 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful, or any Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Bank or its Applicable Lending Office to (a) honor its obligation to make Eurodollar Loans or Money Market Loans hereunder, or (b) maintain Eurodollar Loans or Money Market Loans hereunder, then such Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy to the

Administrative Agent) and such Bank’s obligation to make Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Bank may again make and maintain Eurodollar Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 6.4 shall be applicable), and such Bank shall no longer be obligated to make any Money Market Loans that it has offered to make.

6.4 Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Bank to make Eurodollar Loans or Money Market Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Sections 6.1 or 6.3 (loans of such type being herein called “Affected Loans” and such type being herein called the “Affected Type”), all Loans (other than Money Market Loans) which would otherwise be made by such Bank as Loans of the Affected Type shall be made instead as Base Rate Loans and, if an event referred to in Sections 6.1(b) or 6.3 has occurred and such Bank so requests by notice to the Borrower with a copy to the Administrative Agent, all Affected Loans of such Bank then outstanding shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto or if required by applicable law on such earlier date specified by such Bank in such notice and, to the extent that Affected Loans are so made (or converted), all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Bank’s Affected Loans shall be applied instead to such Loans.

6.5 Compensation. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank upon the request of such Bank through the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as shall compensate such Bank for any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Bank as a result of:

(a) any payment, prepayment or conversion (in each case, whether voluntary or involuntary) of a Eurodollar Loan or a Money Market Loan made by such Bank on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan; or

(b) any failure by the Borrower to borrow or prepay a Eurodollar Loan or Money Market Loan to be made by such Bank on the date for such borrowing or prepayment specified in the relevant notice of borrowing or prepayment under Sections 2.3 or 5.5;

such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount so paid, prepaid or converted or not borrowed or prepaid for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment or conversion or failure to borrow or prepay to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow or prepay, the Interest Period for such Loan which would have commenced on the date of such failure to borrow or prepay) at the applicable rate of interest for such Loan provided for herein over (y) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Bank) such Bank would have paid on eurodollar deposits of amounts comparable to the principal amount so paid, prepaid or converted or not borrowed or prepaid and maturities comparable to the period from the date of such payment, prepayment or conversion or failure to borrow or prepay to the date described in (x) above placed with it by leading banks in the London interbank market (if such Loan is a Eurodollar Loan or a Money Market LIBOR Loan) or the United States secondary certificate of deposit market (if such Loan is a Money Market Absolute Rate Loan) for Dollar deposits of leading banks in amounts comparable to such principal amount and with maturities comparable to such period (as reasonably determined by such Bank). A determination by such Bank as to the amounts payable to it pursuant to the foregoing shall be conclusive so long as made reasonably and in good faith and without manifest error.

6.6 Replacement Banks. (a) So long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower may, at any time, replace any Bank that has requested compensation from the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.1 or 6.7 hereof, or whose obligation to make additional Eurodollar or Money Market Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 6.1(b) or 6.3 hereof, or any Bank that is a Defaulting Bank (any such Bank being herein called an “Affected Bank”) by giving not less than 10 Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify such Affected Bank and each other Bank) that it intends to replace such Affected Bank with one or more other lenders (including any Bank) selected by the Borrower and acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which shall not unreasonably withhold its consent). The method (whether by assignment or otherwise) of and documentation for such replacement shall be either a Transfer Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit I or otherwise acceptable to the Affected Bank and the Administrative Agent (which shall not unreasonably withhold their consent and shall cooperate with the Borrower in effecting such replacement). Upon the effective date of any replacement under this Section 6.6(a) (and as a condition thereto), the Borrower shall, or shall cause the replacement lender(s) to, pay to the Affected Bank being replaced any amounts owing to such Affected Bank hereunder (including, without limitation, interest, Facility Fees, compensation and additional amounts under this Section 6, in each case accrued to the effective date of such replacement), whereupon each replacement lender shall become a “Bank” for all purposes of this Agreement having a Commitment in the amount of such Affected Bank’s Commitment assumed by it, and such Commitment of the Affected Bank being replaced shall be terminated upon such effective date and all of such Affected Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall terminate (provided that the obligations of the Borrower under Sections 6.1, 6.5, 6.7 and 13.3 hereof to such Affected Bank shall survive such replacement as provided in Section 13.6).

(b) So long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if at any time a Bank, together with its Affiliates, holds more than 15% of the total Commitments and/or Loans (any such Bank, together with its Affiliates, an “Excess Bank” and such amount in excess of 15% of the total Commitments and/or Loans, the “Excess Amount”), the Borrower may request that the Excess Bank assign the Excess Amount to one or more Non-Excess Banks so that after giving effect to such assignment the assignor Bank is no longer an Excess Bank and the assignee Banks are not Excess Banks. A “Non-Excess Bank” means a lender (including any Bank) selected by the Borrower and, in the case of a lender that is not an existing Bank, acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which shall not unreasonably withhold its consent). The method of and documentation for such assignment shall be a Transfer Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit I. Upon the effective date of any assignment under this Section 6.6(b) (and as a condition thereto), the Borrower shall cause the Non-Excess Bank to, assume, in the case of Commitments, and pay, in the case of Loans to the Excess Bank its portion of the Excess Amounts so being assigned (including interest, Facility Fees, compensation and additional amounts under this Section 6, in each case accrued to the effective date of such assignment). In the case of a lender that was not a Bank prior to the assignment, such lender shall become a “Bank” for all purposes of this Agreement having a Commitment in the amount of the Commitment assumed by it, and such Commitment of the Excess Bank being assigned shall be terminated upon such effective date.

6.7 Taxes. (a) Except as expressly provided in Section 6.7(b), all payments (whether of principal, interest, fees, reimbursements or otherwise) by the Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any present or future tax, levy, impost or any other similar charge and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto (“Taxes”), if any, now or hereafter imposed by the United States government or any taxing authority thereof other than (i) income or franchise taxes imposed on (or measured by) net income or net earnings by any such tax authority, (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.5(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts and other similar amounts, “Non-Excluded Taxes”). In the event that any Non-Excluded Taxes are required by law to be deducted or withheld from any payments by the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on the date of each such payment, such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by Administrative Agent and the Banks after such deduction or withholding shall equal the amounts which would have been received if such deduction or withholding were not required, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to pay such additional amounts to any Non-U.S. Bank unless such Bank complies with the provisions of clause (b) below. The Borrower shall confirm that all applicable Non-Excluded Taxes, if any, imposed on this Agreement and the Notes or transactions hereunder shall have been properly and legally paid by it to the appropriate taxing authorities by sending official tax receipts or notarized copies of such receipts to the Administrative Agent within 30 days after payment of any applicable Non-Excluded Taxes. For purposes of this Section 6.7, the term “law” shall include FATCA.

(b) With respect to each Bank and SPC (including each Purchasing Bank that becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.5(c)) which is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States (a “Non-U.S. Bank”), on or prior to the first date on which such Bank becomes a party to this Agreement, each such Bank shall provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with the Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN or Form W-8 ECI or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto certifying as to such Bank’s status for purposes of determining exemption from United States withholding taxes with respect to all payments to be made to such Bank hereunder. In addition, each Bank that is a United States person under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “U.S. Bank”), on or prior to the date of its execution of this Agreement in the case of each U.S. Bank listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank in the case of each other Bank (including, without limitation, a Purchasing Bank that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.5), shall provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with its Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto certifying as to such U.S. Bank’s status for purposes of determining exemption from United States withholding taxes with respect to all payments to be made to such U.S. Bank hereunder. If a payment (whether of principal, interest, fees, reimbursements or otherwise) by the Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if the applicable Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Bank shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the

Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Bank has complied with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 6.7(b), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Each Non-U.S. Bank or U.S. Bank, as the case may be, shall from time to time thereafter for so long as such Non-U.S. Bank or U.S. Bank, as the case may be, is legally entitled to do so promptly deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent all such forms required pursuant to this Section 6.7(b) upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by it. Unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, have received such forms and such other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower indicating that payments hereunder are not subject to United States withholding tax, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall withhold taxes from such payments at the applicable statutory rate in the case of payments to or for any Non-U.S. Bank or U.S. Bank, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.7, the Borrower shall be obligated to gross-up any payments to any Bank or Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, a Purchasing Bank that is an assignee or a transferee of an interest under this Agreement or a successor Administrative Agent) in the manner set forth in Section 6.7(a) in respect of the sum of (i) any amounts deducted or withheld by it pursuant to this Section 6.7(b) as a result of changes after the date on which such Bank or Administrative Agent became a party hereto in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, order, or interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of taxes and (ii) in the case of a Purchasing Bank or successor Administrative Agent, the amount to which its assignor or predecessor was entitled under this Section 6.7, provided, however, that the amount payable pursuant to clause (ii) shall not exceed the actual amount of Non-Excluded Taxes actually imposed with respect to payments to such Purchasing Bank or successor Administrative Agent; and provided, further that the Borrower may set off against such amounts any penalties and interest arising out of a Bank’s failure to timely provide any form requested to be provided pursuant to this Section 6.7(b) within 30 days of such Bank’s receipt of the Borrower’s written request for such form.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify each Bank and the Administrative Agent on an after-tax basis for the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes imposed on or with respect to amounts payable under this Agreement or the Notes, paid by such Bank or Administrative Agent and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom. Payment of this indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Bank or Administrative Agent makes a written demand therefor. Such written demand shall include a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the type and amount of such Non-Excluded Taxes. Any such certificate submitted in good faith by such Bank or Administrative Agent to the Borrower shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties.

(d) If any Bank determines in its sole discretion that it has actually received or realized any refund of tax, any reduction of, or credit against, its tax liabilities or otherwise recovered any amount in connection with any deduction or withholding, or payment of any additional amount, by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 6.7 or Section 13.3, such Bank shall

reimburse the Borrower an amount that the Bank shall, in its sole discretion, determine is equal to the net benefit, after tax, and net of all expenses incurred by the Bank in connection with such refund which was actually obtained by the Bank as a consequence of such refund, reduction, credit or recovery; provided, that nothing in this clause (d) shall require any Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems to be confidential). The Borrower shall return such amount to the Bank in the event that the Bank is required to repay such refund of tax or is not entitled to such reduction of, or credit against, its tax liabilities.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and shall not by reason of this Agreement be a trustee for any Bank. No other Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities under this Agreement. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Agent shall be responsible to the Banks for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties of any Person (other than the Administrative Agent or any Agent) contained in this Agreement, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other document referred to or provided for herein or for any failure by the Borrower to perform any of its obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact but shall not be answerable, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact who are not its own employees and who are selected by it with reasonable care. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable or responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

12.2 Reliance by Agents. The Administrative Agent and each of the Agents shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telex, telecopier, e-mail or any electronic message) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent or any of the Agents. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder in accordance with instructions signed by the Required Banks, and such instructions of the Required Banks and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Banks.

12.3 Defaults. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a Default (other than the non-payment of principal of or interest on Loans) unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Bank or the Borrower specifying such Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Banks (and shall give each Bank prompt notice of each such non-payment and the Borrower). The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 12.7) take such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed by the Required Banks, provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Banks; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any such action which it determines to be contrary to law.

With respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it, BTMU and each Bank which is also an Agent, in its capacity as a Bank hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as an Agent, and the term “Bank” or “Banks” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include such Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and each of the other Agents and its affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Bank) accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Borrower (and any of its Affiliates or its Subsidiaries) as if it were not acting as Administrative Agent or Agent, and the Administrative Agent and each of the other Agents may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Banks.

The Banks agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Auction Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under Section 13.3, but without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under said Section 13.3), ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of the Loans made by the Banks (or, if no Loans are at the time outstanding, ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments), for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or any other Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses which the Borrower is obligated to pay under Section 13.3 but excluding, unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Bank shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

12.7 Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of the Administrative Agent hereunder the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder unless it shall be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it for reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

Upon any such resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent and, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, with the consent of the Borrower (which may not be unreasonably withheld). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent and, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, with the consent of the Borrower (which may not be unreasonably withheld), which shall be a bank having capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000 and organized under the laws of any country (or any political subdivision thereof) that is a member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 12 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as an Administrative Agent.

(b) So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, the Borrower may substitute the Administrative Agent at any time, upon 30 days’ written notice to the Banks and the Administrative Agent, notifying them of the substitution and nominating a proposed successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Bank having capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000 and organized under the laws of any country (or any political subdivision thereof) that is a member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (any such Bank, a “Qualified Successor”). Upon the consent of the Required Banks to the appointment of such nominee and acceptance by such nominee of its appointment (or, if later, the thirtieth day after the Borrower’s delivery of such notice), such nominee shall become the successor Administrative Agent. If no Qualified Successor shall have been so nominated by the Borrower (or, if any prior nominee is not so consented to by the Required Banks, nominated by the Borrower after its giving of notice of substitution) and consented to by the Required Banks and shall have accepted appointment as successor Administrative Agent within 30 days after the Borrower’s giving of notice of substitution, then the Borrower may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Qualified Successor (each Bank, by its becoming a Bank, hereby authorizing the Borrower to take such action on its behalf); provided, however, that if the Borrower, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, appoints a successor Administrative Agent without the consent of the Required Banks, then the Required Banks may, by giving notice within 45 days thereafter, replace such successor Administrative Agent with a new Administrative Agent that shall be a Qualified Successor upon 30 days notice to the Borrower and to the successor Administrative Agent appointed by the Borrower. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the substituted Administrative Agent, and the substituted Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any substituted Administrative Agent’s substitution hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 12 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as an Administrative Agent.

incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) the Credit Documents, the use of the proceeds thereof, or any related transaction or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto, and to reimburse each Indemnified Party promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing, provided that the foregoing indemnity and reimbursement obligations will not, as to any Indemnified Party, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses to the extent they are found in a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Party as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

13.4 Amendments and Waivers. (a) Any provision of any Credit Document to which the Banks are a party may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrower and the Required Banks (and, if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent are affected thereby, by the Administrative Agent); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by all the Banks, (i) increase or decrease the Commitment of any Bank (except for a ratable decrease in the Commitments of all Banks and except pursuant to Section 13.5(c)) or subject any Bank to any additional obligation, (ii) forgive or reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder, (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder or for any termination of any Commitment, (iv) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Notes, or the number of Banks which shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any action under this Section or any other provision of this Agreement, (v) amend the definition of “Required Banks,” (vi) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 13.4, (vii) extend the Commitment Termination Date, (viii) amend or waive any provisions in Section 5.2 or 5.7 or (ix) consent to any release or termination of the HMC Support Agreement.

(b) No Defaulting Banks shall have the right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent, except that in the case of an amendment, waiver or consent that has the effect of (a) increasing the Commitment of such Defaulting Bank, (b) reducing the principal amount of any Loans, interest or fees payable to such Defaulting Bank, (c) postponing the scheduled date of payment of any principal, interest or fees or reducing the amount of, waiving or excusing any such payment, or postponing the scheduled date of the expiration of the Commitment of such Defaulting Bank, (d) changing the application of payments, the pro rata sharing provisions and the provisions with respect of the termination or reduction of Commitments, or (e) amending this paragraph, such Defaulting Bank shall have the right to approve or disapprove such amendment, waiver or consent to the same extent as if such Defaulting Bank were not a Defaulting Bank.

13.5 Successors and Assigns; Participations; Assignments.

(a) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Banks, the Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Notes and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or

transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Bank. No Bank may participate, assign or sell any of its Credit Exposure (as defined in clause (b) below) except as required by operation of law, in connection with the mergers or consolidation of any Bank or as provided in this Section 13.5.

(b) Participations. Any Bank may at any time sell to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Bank, any Note held by such Bank, any Commitment of such Bank and any other interest of such Bank under the Credit Documents (in respect of any such Bank, its “Credit Exposure”). Notwithstanding any such sale by a Bank of participating interests to a Participant, such Bank’s rights and obligations under the Credit Documents shall remain unchanged, such Bank shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Bank shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under this Agreement (except as expressly provided below), and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under the Credit Documents. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 6; provided that the transferor Bank and the Participant, together, shall not be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such Section than the transferor Bank would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participating interest transferred by such transferor Bank to such Participant had no such transfer occurred. Each Bank agrees that any agreement between such Bank and any such Participant in respect of such participating interest shall not restrict such Bank’s right to agree to any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to this Agreement or any Credit Document, except where the result of any of the foregoing would be to extend the maturity of any Loan or Commitment or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest and fees thereon or reduce the principal amount thereof. Each Bank that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Credit Exposure or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Bank shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any the Credit Exposure or other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Credit Exposure or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Bank shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(c) Assignments to Purchasing Banks. Any Bank may in the ordinary course of its business and in compliance with applicable law, and having given at least ten (10) Business Days’ notice to, and received the consent of, the Administrative Agent and (to the extent required under clause (ii) below) the Borrower, assign to one or more banks, other institutions or special purpose funding vehicles (“Purchasing Banks”) all or any part of its Credit Exposure pursuant to a supplement to this Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto (a “Transfer Supplement”), executed by such Purchasing Bank and such transferor Bank; provided, that any

assignment to any Person other than a Bank or an Affiliate of the assignor of less than all of its Credit Exposure shall be in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000. Upon (i) such execution of such Transfer Supplement, (ii) consent by the Administrative Agent thereto (which may not be unreasonably withheld) and, if no Event of Default shall then be continuing, consent by the Borrower thereto (which may not be unreasonably withheld) provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 7 Business Days after having received notice thereof, (iii) delivery of an executed copy thereof to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, (iv) payment by such Purchasing Bank to such transferor Bank of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Bank and such Purchasing Bank, and (v) payment to the Administrative Agent of the assignment fee set forth in clause 4 of such Transfer Supplement, such transferor Bank shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment and such Purchasing Bank shall for all purposes be a Bank party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto, and no further consent or action by the Borrower, the Banks or the Agents shall be required. Such Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement and Schedule 1 to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Bank as a Bank and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments, if any, arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Bank of all or a portion of the Credit Exposure of such transferor Bank. Promptly after the consummation of any transfer to a Purchasing Bank pursuant hereto, the transferor Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that a replacement Note (if requested) is issued to such transferor Bank and a new Note (if requested) is issued to such Purchasing Bank, in each case in principal amounts reflecting such transfer and, if applicable, in exchange for the Notes issued to such transferor Bank prior to such assignment. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Transfer Supplement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks (including the Purchasing Banks), and the Credit Exposures of, and principal amounts (and stated interest, Interest Periods, applicable terms (if any), and types) of the Credit Exposures owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Disclosure of Information. The Borrower authorizes each Bank to disclose to any Participant or Purchasing Bank (each, a “Transferee”), any prospective Transferee, any direct, indirect, actual or prospective counterparty (and its advisor) to any swap, derivative or securitization transaction related to the obligations under this Agreement, or any credit insurance provider relating to the Borrower and its obligations, any and all financial and other information in such Bank’s possession concerning the Borrower which has been delivered to such Bank by the Borrower pursuant to any Credit Document or which has been delivered to such Bank by the Borrower in connection with such Bank’s credit evaluation of the Borrower prior to entering into this Agreement; provided, that any other information relating to the Borrower, HMC or any Subsidiary which was delivered by any such Person to any Bank on a confidential basis and which is identified as confidential may not be disclosed to any Transferee

which is not an Affiliate of the transferor Bank without the prior consent of the Borrower (which may not be unreasonably withheld). Each Bank agrees to, and agrees to cause its Affiliates and their respective employees, officers, directors, counsel (including outside counsel), accountants (including independent auditors) and any other advisors referred to in clause (i)(x) below to agree to (i) maintain the confidentiality of all such information delivered to it by the Borrower, HMC or any Subsidiary in accordance with its customary practices regarding such information on substantially the terms of the confidentiality obligations binding on such Bank under this paragraph (d), provided, that any Bank may disclose any information in its possession (x) to any of its Affiliates or its and their respective employees, officers, directors, counsel (including outside counsel), accountants (including independent auditors), and any other advisors on a need-to-know basis, (y) pursuant to any legal process or any request by any Governmental Authority or regulatory agency having jurisdiction over such Bank or its Affiliates, or (z) as may be required to defend against or prosecute any claim in connection with this Agreement or any transaction hereunder, and (ii) not deliver any such information to a Transferee, unless such Transferee agrees, in writing to maintain such confidentiality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document, the parties (and each employee, representative, or other agent of the parties) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and any facts that may be relevant to the tax structure of the transaction, provided, however, that no party (and no employee, representative, or other agent thereof) shall disclose any other information that is not relevant to understanding the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents (including the identity of any party and any information that could lead another to determine the identity of any party), or any other information to the extent that such disclosure could result in a violation of any federal or state securities law.

(e) Assignments to Federal Reserve Banks or Central Banks. Notwithstanding any other language in this Agreement, any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its Notes to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank or Governmental Authority having authority over such Bank as collateral in accordance with Regulation A and the applicable operating circular of such Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank or Governmental Authority having authority over such Bank.

(f) Assignments to SPCs. Notwithstanding any other language in this Agreement, any Bank (a “Granting Bank”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”) of such Granting Bank, identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Bank to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Bank would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.3, provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment to make any Loan by any SPC and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan or fund any other obligation required to be funded by it hereunder, the Granting Bank shall be obligated to make such Loan or fund such obligation pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall satisfy the obligation of the Granting Bank to make Loans to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by the Granting Bank. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any payment under this Agreement for which a Bank would otherwise be liable, for so long as, and to the extent, the related Granting Bank makes such payment. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in

full of all outstanding senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or similar proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof in connection with any obligations of any such SPC under the Credit Documents. Each Bank designating any SPC hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such SPC during such period of forbearance. Such indemnity shall survive the repayment of all obligations under the Credit Documents and the termination of the Commitments. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.5(f) any SPC may with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign as collateral security all or a portion of its right to payment of any Loan to its Granting Bank or to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit facilities to or for the account of such SPC to fund the Loans made by such SPC or to support the securities (if any) issued by such SPC to fund such Loans. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower agrees that it will not use the proceeds of any Loan made by a Bank which is funded through an SPC to be used to purchase or carry Margin Stock if such Bank (i) notifies the Borrower that its Loan will be funded through an SPC and (ii) requests the Borrower prior to the Effective Date not to use the proceeds of its Loan for such purpose. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary other than Section 6.7, (i) no additional costs shall be incurred by or assessed to the Borrower as a result of any Loan made by an SPC hereunder, (ii) the Borrower shall not be responsible for any increased costs of any SPC or provider of credit or liquidity support in connection therewith or for any dealer or other fees and (iii) no SPC, liquidity or credit provider or other Person shall be entitled to exercise or control any consent or voting rights of the related Granting Bank hereunder.

13.6 Survival. The obligations of the Borrower with respect to Sections 6.1, 6.5, 6.7 and 13.3 hereof shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the Commitments.

13.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

13.8 Severability; Headings Descriptive. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The headings of the several Sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

13.9 Domicile of Loans. Each Bank may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any branch office, subsidiary or Affiliate of such Bank.

13.10 Limitation of Liability. No claim may be made by the Borrower or any other Person against any Agent or any Bank or the Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents of any of them for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and the Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

13.11 Treatment of Certain Information. The Borrower (a) acknowledges that services may be offered or provided to it (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by each Bank or by one or more of their respective subsidiaries or Affiliates and (b) acknowledges that information delivered to each Bank by the Borrower may be provided to each such subsidiary and Affiliate.

13.12 Usury. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required to the extent that receipt thereof would be contrary to provisions of law applicable to a Bank or SPC limiting rates of interest which may be charged or collected by such Bank.

13.13 Submission to Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Venue. Each of the parties hereto 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 City for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the parties hereto hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such courts lack jurisdiction over such party, and agrees not to plead or claim, in any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any Note brought in any of the aforesaid courts, that any such court lacks jurisdiction over such party. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the service of process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to such party, at its address for notices referred to in Section 13.2, such service to become effective 10 days after such mailing. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives any objection to such service of process and further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any action or proceeding commenced hereunder or under any Note that service of process was in any way invalid or ineffective. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the other Agents, or any Bank to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other party hereto in any other jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto 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.

13.14 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

13.15 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE NOTES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001, as amended)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and the other Credit Parties and other information that will allow such Bank to identify the Borrower and the other Credit Parties in accordance with the Act.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the day and year first above written.

March 7, 2014

Page 4

opinion, and, except for the review of those documents, have not conducted any: (i) investigation or examination of factual matters; (ii) investigation or examination of the title to, or nature or extent of, any real or personal property, or inspection of any such property; or (iii) docket or other search of the records of any court, administrative tribunal, recording or filing office, or other public entity.

(b) In rendering this opinion, we have assumed: (i) the genuineness of all signatures (if any) on all documents reviewed by us; (ii) that the Credit Documents have been or will be duly authorized, executed, and delivered by and on behalf of the parties thereto (other than AHFC); (iii) that the copies of the Credit Documents and the Company Documents provided to us are complete and correct copies which conform to authentic original documents, and contain the entire agreement of the parties thereto, that there are no other documents or oral agreements or other circumstances that would in any way alter the provisions of the Credit Documents and/or the Company Documents, and that there has not been any mutual mistake of fact or misunderstanding, fraud, duress or undue influence with respect thereto; (iv) that each natural person executing or who has executed the Credit Documents or the Company Documents is or was competent to do so; and (v) the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of all certificates on which we have relied, and that any such certificates dated as of an earlier date are still accurate as of the date hereof.

remedies without notice or opportunity for hearing or correction; penalties, forfeitures, late payment charges or penalties, increased interest rates upon default, liquidated damages, prepayment charges and acceleration of future amounts due (other than principal) without appropriate discount to present value; attorneys’ fees and other enforcement expenses, to the extent inconsistent with law; indemnity, release, limitations upon liability or exculpation of a party with respect to its own wrongful or negligent acts, or otherwise contrary to public policy or prohibited by law; cumulation, election or non-exclusivity of remedies, or non-waiver of remedies by a failure or delay of exercise; time being of the essence; integration and ineffectiveness of oral modifications; survival of terms, provisions or agreements after termination of an agreement or satisfaction of obligations; waiver or relinquishment, except to the extent explicitly allowed by law, of (i) defenses, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, marshaling rights or rights to damages; (ii) broadly or vaguely stated rights; (iii) unknown future rights or defenses; or (iv) the benefits of statutory, regulatory, constitutional or other rights granted or duties imposed by law, where any of the foregoing is contrary to public policy or otherwise prohibited, limited or made unenforceable by law.

3.4 We express no opinion with respect to covenants, to the extent they are construed to be independent obligations, the breach of which could give rise to a cause of action for damages, as distinguished from conditions precedent to the occurrence of an event of default that would permit any Bank to exercise its default remedies.

3.5 The conclusive effect of certain statements, acknowledgments or recitals contained in any document.

3.6 Limitations to reflect the fact that an enforceability of remedies opinion means only that some remedies are available under the agreement in question, and not necessarily that every provision in the agreement will be enforced by a court in all circumstances.

3.7 We express no opinion as to the effect or enforceability as to any provision involving consent to or establishment of jurisdiction and/or venue or stipulations with respect thereto (except to the extent that such provision is made enforceable by New York General Obligations Law Section 5-1402, as applied by a New York state court or a federal court sitting in New York and applying New York choice of forum principles), mandatory arbitration, consent to or waiver of service of process or establishment of a method therefor, waiver of the right to attack or appeal a judgment, the irrevocable appointment of an agent for service of process, the establishment of measures of proof or waiver of jury trial.

3.11 We note that, under the laws of the State of New York, the remedies available in the State of New York for the enforcement of the Credit Documents could be affected by any failure of any Bank not organized in New York (i) to become authorized, under Article 13 of the New York Business Corporation Law, to do business in the State of New York or (ii) to become authorized, under Article 5 of the New York Banking law, to transact business in New York as a foreign banking corporation.

March 7, 2014

To:	The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd.,

as Administrative Agent,

and the Banks party to the Credit Agreements (as defined below)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Re: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.

Keep Well Agreement in relation to

the $3,500,000,000 Five-Year Credit Agreement and the $3,500,000,000 364-Day Credit

Agreement of American Honda Finance Corporation

We refer to (i) the $3,500,000,000 Five-Year Credit Agreement and (ii) the $3,500,000,000 364-Day Credit Agreement, each dated as of March 7, 2014, to be entered into by American Honda Finance Corporation (“AHFC”), as borrower, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., as Administrative Agent, and the other Banks party thereto (the “Credit Agreements”).

Pursuant to Section 7.1(g) of each Credit Agreement, we have been requested by AHFC to deliver a legal opinion addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Banks on certain legal matters relating to that certain keepwell agreement dated September 9, 2005 (the “Keep Well Agreement”) entered into between Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (“HMC”) and AHFC.

We have acted as Japanese legal counsel for HMC in connection with the Keep Well Agreement.

In connection therewith, we have examined the following::

(1)

a copy of the Keep Well Agreement;

(2)

certified copies of the Articles of Incorporation and the Regulations of the Board of Directors of HMC;

(3)

a certified copy of the official certificate of all matters recorded in the Commercial Register (genzai jikou zembu shoumeisho) of HMC; and

(4)

a certified extract copy of the minutes of the meeting of the Board of Directors of HMC held on July 27, 2005 authorizing the execution of the Keep Well Agreement.

The documents set forth above are hereinafter referred to as “Relevant Documents”. Unless otherwise defined herein, or unless the context otherwise requires, all terms used herein shall have the meanings defined in the Credit Agreements.

We have also examined such certificates and corporate documents of HMC and such other matters, documents and records and considered such questions of law, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purpose of rendering the opinion hereinafter set forth.

For the purposes of rendering this opinion, we have assumed without independently verifying:

(A)

the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all seal impressions and signatures on the Relevant Documents (other than that of HMC on the Keep Well Agreement), and the authenticity and completeness of the Relevant Documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to complete original documents of the Relevant Documents submitted to us as copies, having relied as to factual matters upon such documents; and that the Relevant Documents are, where appropriate, executed in the form or substantially in the form of the copies examined by us;

(B)

that at all times relevant to the opinions expressed herein, AHFC has been validly existing and in good standing (where such concept is recognized) and had and has full power and authority (corporate or otherwise) to execute, deliver and perform the Keep Well Agreement; and

(C)

that the execution, delivery and performance of the Keep Well Agreement by AHFC have been duly authorized by all its necessary corporate actions and do not contravene its constitutional documents or any law, rule, or regulation applicable to AHFC; and that the Keep Well Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by AHFC.

On the basis of the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set out below, we are of the opinion that:

1.	HMC is a corporation validly existing under the laws of Japan and has full power and authority (corporate and otherwise) to own its properties and to conduct its business as presently conducted.

HMC has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into the Keepwell Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder. The Keep Well Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by HMC and constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of HMC, enforceable against HMC in accordance with its terms under the laws of Japan, and the indebtedness to be incurred by AHFC under the Credit Agreements have been specifically confirmed by HMC in writing to be “Debt” of AHFC (as such term is referred to in the Keep Well Agreement).

No authorization, approval, consent, exemption or license from, or registration with, any governmental authority of Japan (collectively, “Governmental Approvals”) is required as a condition to the validity of, or for the execution and delivery of, the Keep Well Agreement or for the performance by HMC of its obligations thereunder.

The execution, delivery and performance by HMC of its obligations under the Keep Well Agreement will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any Japanese law, regulation, rule, order or judgment or under any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or the Regulations of the Board of Directors of HMC, or any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other material agreement or instrument known to us to which HMC is a party or by which HMC is bound or to which any of the material property or assets of HMC is subject.

5.	The payment obligations of HMC which may arise under the Keep Well Agreement are at least pari passu in priority of payment with all unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of HMC and all indemnities or other like obligations relating to such indebtedness.

6.	A Japanese court may render a judgment in any foreign currency to enforce obligations of HMC that are payable in such currency.

Under the Japanese Civil Code, the holders of any “Debt” (as such term is referred to in the Keep Well Agreement) have a mechanism for procuring the enforcement of the Keep Well Agreement against HMC, in that, if such holders need to protect their rights as creditors of AHFC, including in the event of bankruptcy of AHFC, they may procure the enforcement of the Keep Well Agreement in accordance with its terms directly or, in the event of bankruptcy of AHFC, through the appropriate insolvency officer or trustee in bankruptcy of AHFC.

The foregoing opinions are subject to the following qualifications.

(i)

This opinion letter is strictly limited to the matters stated herein and may not be read as extending by implication to any matters not specifically referred to herein.

(ii)

We are attorneys licensed to practice law in Japan and have acted in such capacity and we do not purport to be expert as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than Japan; accordingly, the opinions expressed above are limited to Japanese law and based on the assumption that the Keep Well Agreement constitutes valid and legally binding obligations of HMC enforceable against HMC in accordance with its terms under the laws of the State of New York, by which it is expressly governed, and we neither express nor imply any view or opinion with regard to the requirements of any jurisdiction other than Japan.

(iii)

In this opinion letter, Japanese legal concepts are expressed in English terms and not in their original Japanese terms. The concepts concerned may not be identical to the concepts described by the equivalent English terms as they exist under the laws of other jurisdictions. We do not render any opinion as to how judges qualified in a foreign jurisdiction would interpret Japanese legal concepts or expressions.

(iv)

The above opinions do not cover any matters relating to tax law.

(v)

The legality, validity, binding nature and enforceability of the Keep Well Agreement may be limited by the application of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganisation, civil rehabilitation, fraudulent conveyance and other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights, powers, privileges, remedies and/or interests of creditors generally.

(vi)

The legality, validity, binding nature and enforceability of the Keep Well Agreement are subject to and may be limited by statutes of limitation, court procedures and the full discretion of the courts to consider the public order and good morals doctrine as provided in Article 90 of the Civil Code, general principles of good faith and sincerity and the obligation to act in a reasonable manner as provided in Article 1, Paragraph 2 of the Civil Code, the abuse of rights doctrine as provided in Article 1, Paragraph 3 of the Civil Code and the public order and good morals doctrine as provided in Article 42 of the General Law concerning Application of Laws.

(vii)

Japanese courts may not give full effect to an indemnity for legal costs.

(viii)

We express no opinion with respect to the availability of specific performance or injunctive relief or any other provisional remedy. For the purpose of this opinion letter, an obligation is “enforceable” against the obligor if the obligee is at least entitled to a judgment of a Japanese court which orders that obligor to pay to the obligee compensation for damages suffered by the obligee as a result of the obligor’s breach of such obligation.

OPINION OF SPECIAL NEW YORK COUNSEL

TO THE BORROWER

See attached.

[Xxxxxx & Bird LLP Letterhead]

March 7, 2014

The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., as

Administrative Agent, the other Agents and the Banks party to

the Credit Agreements referred to below

Re:

American Honda Finance Corporation (“AHFC” or the “Company”) -the $3,500,000,000 Five-Year Credit Agreement and the $3,500,000,000 364-Day Credit Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as New York counsel to AHFC in connection with the $3,500,000,000 Five-Year Credit Agreement (the “Five-Year Credit Agreement”), and the 364-Day $3,500,000,000 Credit Agreement (the “364-Day Credit Agreement”, together with the Five-Year Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”), each dated as of the date hereof by and among The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., as administrative agent and lender (the “Agent”), the various financial institutions party thereto and the other parties thereto. Capitalized terms used in this opinion shall have the definitions given to them in the Credit Agreements unless otherwise defined in this opinion or unless the context otherwise requires. This opinion is furnished pursuant to Section 7.1(f) of the Credit Agreements.

We have examined the following documents:

(a)

the Credit Agreements,

(b)

[Promissory Notes payable to each of the Banks listed on Exhibit A attached hereto with respect to Committed Loans, dated March 7, 2014 (collectively, the “Committed Loan Notes”)]; and

(c)

[Promissory Notes payable to each of the Banks listed on Exhibit A attached hereto with respect to Money Market Loans, dated March 7, 2014 (collectively, the “Money Market Notes” and, together with the Committed Loan Notes, the “Notes,” and together with the Credit Agreements and the Notes, the “Credit Documents”)].

We have also examined certificates of public officials, corporate documents and records and other certificates, and made other investigations as we have deemed necessary. For purposes of the opinions set forth below, and with respect to which documents are material

agreements of the Company, we have relied solely on a certificate from an officer of the Company, a copy of which certificate is attached hereto, and we have not made any other independent investigation.

As to any facts relevant to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied without independent investigation upon certificates and oral or written statements and representations of public officials, and of officers and other representatives of the Company, and we have assumed as true the representations and warranties of each party to the Credit Documents as set forth therein, and in each case as set forth in various officer’s certificates delivered concurrently herewith. Except as expressly set forth in this opinion letter, we have not undertaken any independent investigation (including, without limitation, conducting any review, search or investigation of any public files, records or dockets) to determine the existence or absence of the facts that are material to our opinions, and no inference as to our knowledge concerning such facts should be drawn from our reliance on the representations of the Company and others in connection with the preparation and delivery of this letter.

We have assumed, for purposes of the opinions expressed below:

(i) The truth and accuracy of (a) all certificates, documents and records supplied to us or the Agent by the Credit Parties, (b) the representations and warranties of the Credit Parties in the Credit Documents to which they are a party with respect to the factual matters set forth in the Credit Documents, and (c) all certificates of public officials.

(ii)(a) The legal capacity of all natural persons, (b) the genuineness of all signatures, (c) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and (d) the conformity to original documents to all documents submitted to us as copies and the authenticity of the originals of such copies.

(iii) That the Credit Documents are the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the parties to such documents other than the Company.

(iv) The due authorization, execution and delivery of the Credit Documents by all of the parties thereto and that each of the parties thereto has the corporate power to execute, deliver and perform each of its obligations under each Credit Document to which it is a party.

(v) That the Company is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of California.

Based upon the foregoing and our examination of questions of law we have deemed necessary or appropriate, and subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth below, it is our opinion that:

1. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Credit Documents do not, and the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Credit Documents to which it is a party will not, result in any violation of the Applicable Laws of the State of New

York applicable to the Company. “Applicable Laws” shall mean those laws, rules and regulations which in our experience a lawyer practicing in the State of New York exercising customary professional diligence would reasonably recognize as being generally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Credit Documents, without our having made any special investigation as to the applicability of any specific law, rule or regulation.

2. No authorization, approval, consent, order or decree of any court or governmental authority or agency of the State of New York is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of any Credit Document to which it is a party except as such may be required under the blue sky laws of New York in connection with the offer and sale of the Notes, as to which we express no opinion.

3. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Credit Documents to which it is a party will not violate or result in a material breach of any of the terms of or constitute a material default under or (except as contemplated in the Credit Documents) result in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance on any property or assets of the Company, pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other agreement relating to borrowed money described on Schedules A, to this opinion letter (collectively, the “Material Agreements”). As to those Material Agreements which by their terms are or may be governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than New York, we assume that such Material Agreements are governed by the law of New York for purposes of the opinion expressed in this paragraph. In addition, we exclude from the scope of such opinion any potential violation of financial covenants contained in such Material Agreements.

Our opinions are subject to the following additional qualifications:

Our opinions are limited to the laws of the State of New York.

The foregoing opinions are rendered as of the date hereof and we make no undertaking and expressly disclaim any duty to supplement or update any such opinion, if, after the date hereof, facts or circumstances come to our attention or changes in the law occur which could affect such opinion.

This opinion is being delivered to you in connection with the transactions evidenced by the Credit Documents. Each addressee of this opinion, and each Bank from time to time becoming a party to each of the Credit Agreements may rely upon this opinion in connection with those transactions. No person may rely upon this opinion for any other purpose. This opinion may not be relied upon by any other person, firm, corporation, partnership.


Very truly yours,
