SECTION 3. LOANS AND NOTES.

Section 3.1. Agreement to Make Revolving Loans. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each Bank, severally and for itself alone, agrees to make loans on a revolving basis (herein collectively called “Revolving Loans” and individually each called a “Revolving Loan”) from time to time from the date hereof until such Bank’s Termination Date in such Bank’s Percentage of such aggregate amounts as the Company may from time to time request as provided in Section 3.2; provided, that (a) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans of any Bank shall not at any time exceed the amount set forth opposite such Bank’s name on Schedule I (as reduced in accordance with Section 5.1, Section 13.4 or Section 13.8), (b) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans of all Banks shall not at any time exceed the then Aggregate Commitment and (c) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans shall not at any time exceed the aggregate outstanding principal amount of loans to the Company under the Deutsche Bank Credit Agreement at such time. Within the limits of this Section 3.1, the Company may from time to time borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

Section 3.2. Procedure for Loans.

(a) Revolving Loan Requests. The Company shall give the Agent irrevocable telephonic notice at the Notice Office (promptly confirmed in writing on the same day), not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, at least three Business Days prior to the Funding Date of each requested Revolving Loan (each of which shall, subject to Sections 4.3(b), 7.2 and 7.3, be a LIBOR Rate Loan) and the Agent shall promptly advise each Bank thereof and, if the Telerate Page is not available, request the Reference Bank to notify the Agent of its applicable rate (as contemplated in the definition of LIBOR). Each such notice to the Agent (a “Revolving Loan Request”) shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A and shall specify (i) the Funding Date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loans requested (in an amount permitted under clause (b) below), and (iii) the Loan Period therefor (subject to the limitations set forth in the definition of Loan Period).

(b) Amount and Increments of Loans. Each Revolving Loan Request shall contemplate Revolving Loans in a minimum aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000, not to exceed in the aggregate (for all requested Revolving

180-Day Credit Agreement

-12-

Loans) the amount of the Aggregate Commitment which shall be available on the Funding Date requested in such Loan Request.

(i) Not later than 1:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Funding Date of a Revolving Loan, each Bank shall, subject to this Section 3.2(c), provide the Agent at its Notice Office with immediately available funds covering such Bank’s Revolving Loan (provided, that a Bank’s obligation to provide funds to the Agent shall be deemed satisfied by such Bank’s delivery to the Agent at its Notice Office not later than 1:30 p.m., New York City time, of a SWIFT MT 202 Transfer or Federal Reserve wire confirmation number covering the proceeds of such Bank’s Revolving Loan) and the Agent shall pay over such funds to the Company not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day if the Agent shall have received the documents required under Section 10 with respect to such Revolving Loan and the other conditions precedent to the making of such Revolving Loan shall have been satisfied not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such day. If the Agent does not receive such documents or such other conditions precedent have not been satisfied prior to such time, then (A) the Agent shall not pay over such funds to the Company, (B) the Company’s Revolving Loan Request related to such Loan shall be deemed cancelled in its entirety, (C) the Company shall be liable to each Bank in accordance with Section 7.4 and (D) the Agent shall return the amount previously provided to the Agent by each Bank on the next following Business Day.

(ii) The Company agrees, notwithstanding its previous delivery of any documents required under Section 10 with respect to a particular Loan, immediately to notify the Agent of any failure by it to satisfy the conditions precedent to the making of such Loan. The Agent shall be entitled to assume, after it has received each of the documents required under Section 10 with respect to a particular Loan, that each of the conditions precedent to the making of such Loan has been satisfied absent actual knowledge to the contrary received by the Agent prior to the time of the receipt of such documents. Unless the Agent shall have notified the Banks prior to 10:30 a.m., New York City time, on the Funding Date of any Loan that the Agent has actual knowledge that the conditions precedent to the making of such Loan have not been satisfied, the Banks shall be entitled to assume that such conditions precedent have been satisfied.

(d) Repayment of Loans. If any Bank is to make a Revolving Loan hereunder on a day on which the Company is to repay (or has elected to prepay, pursuant to Section 5.2(a)) all or any part of any outstanding Revolving Loan held by such Bank, the proceeds of such new Revolving Loan shall be applied to make such repayment and only an amount equal to the positive difference, if any, between the amount being borrowed and the amount being repaid shall be requested by the Agent to be made available by such Bank to the Agent as provided in Section 3.2(c).

Section 3.3. Maturity of Loans. Each Revolving Loan made by a Bank shall mature on the last day of the Loan Period applicable to such Revolving Loan, but in no event later than the Termination Date for such Bank (or the date contemplated by Section 5.3 if the Term-Out Option is in effect).

SECTION 4. INTEREST AND FEES.

Section 4.1. Interest Rates. The Company hereby promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan for the period commencing on the Funding Date for such Loan until such Loan is paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate applicable to the Loan Period for such Loan; provided, however, that after the maturity of any Loan (whether by acceleration or otherwise), such Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days involved) equal to the Base Rate from time to time in effect (but not less than the interest rate in effect for such Loan immediately prior to maturity) plus 1% per annum; and provided, further, that any Loan that is, pursuant to Section 4.3(b), 7.2 or 7.3, made as a Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at the Base Rate from time to time in effect (or, if applicable, at the higher rate provided in the foregoing proviso).

Section 4.2. Interest Payment Dates. Except for Base Rate Loans, as to which accrued interest shall be payable on the last day of each calendar quarter and on the Termination Date (or the date contemplated by Section 5.3 if the Term-Out Option is in effect), accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on the last day of the Loan Period therefor and, with respect to each LIBOR Rate Loan with a Loan Period of six months, on the day that is three months after the first day of such Loan Period (or, if there is no day in such third month numerically corresponding to such first day of the Loan Period, on the last Business Day of such month). After the maturity of any Loan, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on demand. If any interest payment date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, such interest payment date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day and the interest paid shall cover the period of postponement (except that if the Loan is a LIBOR Rate Loan and the next succeeding Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such interest payment date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day).

Section 4.3. Setting and Notice of Loan Rates. (a) The applicable interest rate for each Loan hereunder shall be determined by the Agent and notice thereof shall be given by the Agent promptly to the Company and to each Bank. Each determination of the applicable interest rate by the Agent shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto in the absence of demonstrable error.

(b) In the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, the Reference Bank agrees to use its best efforts to notify the Agent in a timely fashion of its applicable rate after the Agent’s request (if any) therefor under Section 3.2(a) (as contemplated in the definition of LIBOR). If as to any Loan Period for any Loan the Telerate Page is not available and the Reference Bank is unable or for any reason fails to notify the Agent of its applicable rate by 11:30 a.m., New York City time, two Business Days before the Funding Date for such Loan, then the applicable LIBOR Rate shall be determined by the Agent on the basis of the rate or rates of interest at which Dollar deposits are offered by the London branch of another bank or banks selected by the Agent. If the Telerate Page is not available and Agent is unable to determine such rate or rates of such other bank(s) prior to 11:30 a.m., New York City time, two Business Days before such Funding Date, then (i) the Agent shall promptly notify the other parties thereof and (ii) at the option of the Company, the Revolving Loan Request delivered by the Company pursuant to Section 3.2(a) with respect to

180-Day Credit Agreement

-14-

such Funding Date shall be cancelled or the Revolving Loans requested in such Revolving Loan Request shall be made as Base Rate Loans.

(c) The Agent shall, upon written request of the Company or any Bank, deliver to the Company or such Bank a statement showing the computations used by the Agent in determining the interest rate applicable to any LIBOR Rate Loan.

Section 4.4. Commitment Fee. The Company agrees to pay to the Agent for the accounts of the Banks pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentages an annual commitment fee equal to 0.08% per annum of the average daily unused amount of the Aggregate Commitment. Such commitment fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year (beginning with the last Business Day of December, 2004) until the Commitments have expired or have been terminated and on the date of such expiration or termination (and, in the case of any Terminating Bank, such Bank’s Termination Date), in each case for the period then ending for which such commitment fee has not previously been paid.

Section 4.5. Structuring Fees. The Company agrees promptly to pay to the Agent for the account of each Bank such fees as have been agreed to by the Company and the Banks.

Section 4.6. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans, and commitment fees shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year; and interest on Base Rate Loans shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 365/366 day year, as the case may be. The interest rate applicable to each LIBOR Rate Loan and Base Rate Loan, and (to the extent applicable) after the maturity of any other type of Loan, the interest rate applicable to such Loan, shall change simultaneously with each change in the LIBOR Rate or the Base Rate, as applicable.

SECTION 5. REDUCTION OR TERMINATION OF THE COMMITMENTS; REPAYMENT; PREPAYMENTS.

Section 5.1. Voluntary Termination or Reduction of the Commitments. The Company may at any time on at least 5 days’ prior irrevocable notice received by the Agent (which shall promptly on the same day or on the next Business Day advise each Bank thereof) permanently reduce the amount of the Commitments (such reduction to be pro rata among the Banks according to their respective Percentages) to an amount not less than the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans. Any such reduction shall be in the amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Concurrently with any such reduction, the Company shall prepay the principal of any Loans outstanding to the extent that the aggregate amount of such Loans outstanding shall then exceed the Aggregate Commitment, as so reduced. The Company may from time to time on like irrevocable notice terminate the Commitments upon payment in full of all Loans, all interest accrued thereon, all fees and all other obligations of the Company hereunder.

180-Day Credit Agreement

Section 5.2. Prepayments.

(a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Company may voluntarily prepay Loans without premium or penalty, except as may be required pursuant to subsection (v) below, in whole or in part; provided, that (i) each voluntary prepayment under this Section 5.2(a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (ii) except for the voluntary prepayment of the aggregate amount of all Loans outstanding, no such prepayment shall result in there being less than $10,000,000 in Loans outstanding in the aggregate, and (iii) the Company shall give the Agent at its Notice Office (which shall promptly advise each Bank) not less than three Business Days’ prior notice thereof specifying the Loans to be prepaid and the date and amount of any voluntary prepayment.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments. If at any time during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the Termination Date, the Company makes a prepayment or payment under the Deutsche Bank Credit Agreement which causes the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans to exceed the aggregate outstanding principal amount of loans to the Company under the Deutsche Bank Credit Agreement at such time, the Company shall prepay the Loans in a minimum aggregate amount equal to such excess on the last day of the Loan Period for each Loan to be prepaid, in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, and on the date of such prepayment or payment, in the case of Base Rate Loans.

(c) Any prepayment made hereunder of principal of any Loan shall include accrued interest to the date of prepayment on the principal amount being prepaid, and any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be subject to the provisions of Section 7.4.

Section 5.3. Term-Out Option. The Company may, by notice to the Agent not less than 10 days prior to the then-effective Termination Date, subject to the conditions set forth below in this Section 5.3, elect to convert the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans of each Bank as of such then-effective Termination Date to a term loan of such Bank in said amount (herein collectively called “Term Loans” and individually each called a “Term Loan”). Each Term Loan shall bear interest, from and including such then-effective Termination Date until the payment thereof in full, at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case such Term Loan is a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate from time to time in effect and (y) in the case such Term Loan is a LIBOR Rate Loan, the LIBOR Rate applicable to the Loan Period for such Term Loan, and in each case shall otherwise constitute a Loan for all purposes of this Agreement. The Company agrees to repay to the Agent for account of the Banks the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans on the date 364 days after such then-effective Termination Date or, if such date is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day (and any outstanding Note shall be deemed amended accordingly). Once repaid or prepaid (other than as contemplated by Section 3.2(d)), Term Loans cannot be reborrowed. Anything in this Section 5.3 to the contrary notwithstanding, any such conversion shall be subject to the conditions precedent that (i) no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such then-effective Termination Date and (ii) the representations and warranties made by the Company in Section 8 shall be true on and as of such then-effective Termination Date with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date. Each notice of conversion delivered by the Company in accordance with this Section 5.3 shall constitute a certification by

180-Day Credit Agreement

-16-

the Company to the effect set forth in the preceding sentence (both as of the date of such notice and, unless the Company, after delivery of such notice, otherwise notifies the Agent prior to such then-effective Termination Date, as of such date). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, commitment fees contemplated by Section 4.4 shall cease to accrue after the effectiveness of the Term-Out Option.

SECTION 6. MAKING AND PRORATION OF PAYMENTS; SET-OFF; TAXES.

Section 6.1. Making of Payments. Except as provided in Section 3.2(d), payments (including those made pursuant to Section 5.1) of principal of, or interest on, the Loans and all payments of fees and any other payments required to be made by the Company to the Agent hereunder shall be made by the Company to the Agent in immediately available funds at its Payment Office not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the date due; and funds received after that hour shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent on the next following Business Day. The Agent shall promptly remit to each Bank its share (if any) of each such payment. All payments under Section 7 and all payments required to be made hereunder to any Person other than the Agent shall be made by the Company when due directly to the Persons entitled thereto in immediately available funds.

Section 6.2. Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing.

(a) Except as required pursuant to Section 7 or Section 13.8, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Loans, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the commitment fee shall be allocated pro rata among the Banks in accordance with their respective Percentages.

(b) If any Bank or other holder of a Loan shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise) on account of principal of, interest on or fees or other amounts with respect to any Loan in excess of the share of payments and other recoveries (exclusive of payments or recoveries under Section 7 or pursuant to Section 13.8) such Bank or other holder would have received if such payment had been distributed pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.2(a), such Bank or other holder shall purchase from the other Banks or holders, in a manner to be specified by the Agent, such participations in the Loans held by them as shall be necessary so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Loans shall be shared by the Banks and other holders pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentages; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Bank or holder, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

Section 6.3. Set-off. The Company agrees that the Agent, each Bank, each Assignee and each Participant has all rights of set-off and banker’s lien provided by applicable law, and the Company further agrees that at any time (i) any amount owing by the Company under this Agreement is due to any such Person or (ii) any Event of Default exists, each such

180-Day Credit Agreement

-17-

Person may apply to the payment of any amount payable hereunder any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Company then or thereafter with such Person.

Section 6.4. Taxes, etc. (a) All payments made by the Company to the Agent, any Bank, any Assignee or any Participant under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made without any set-off or counterclaim, and free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of any present or future Covered Taxes now or hereafter imposed (except to the extent that such withholding or deduction (x) is compelled by law, (y) results from the breach, by the recipient of a payment, of its agreement contained in Section 6.4(b), Section 6.4(c) or Section 6.4(e) or (z) would not be required if the representation or warranty contained in the second sentence of Section 6.4(b) were true as of the date of this Agreement, or with respect to a Bank that becomes a Bank pursuant to Section 13.4.1, Section 13.4.2 or Section 13.8, true at the time such Bank becomes a Bank hereunder). If the Company is compelled by law to make any such deductions or withholdings of any Covered Taxes it will:

(i) pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted,

(ii) except to the extent that such withholding or deduction results from the breach by the recipient of its agreement contained in Section 6.4(b), Section 6.4(c) or Section 6.4(e) or, if applicable, would not be required if the representation or warranty contained in the second sentence of Section 6.4(b) were true as of the date of this Agreement, or with respect to a Bank that becomes a Bank pursuant to Section 13.4.1, Section 13.4.2 or Section 13.8, true at the time such Bank becomes a Bank hereunder, pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amount received by the Agent, each Bank, each Assignee and each Participant after such deductions or withholdings (including any required deduction or withholding on such additional amounts) shall equal the amount such payee would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, and

(iii) promptly forward to the Agent (for delivery to such payee) an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Agent evidencing such payment to such authorities.

Moreover, if any Covered Taxes are directly asserted against the Agent, any Bank, any Assignee or any Participant, such payee may pay such Covered Taxes, and, upon receipt of an official receipt or other satisfactory documentation evidencing such payment, the Company shall promptly pay such additional amount (including, without limitation, any penalties, interest or reasonable expenses) as may be necessary in order that the net amount received by such payee after the payment of such Covered Taxes (including any Covered Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such payee would have received had no such Covered Taxes been asserted (provided, that the Agent, the Banks, and any Assignee or Participant shall use reasonable efforts, to the extent consistent with applicable laws and regulations, to minimize to the extent possible any such Covered Taxes if they can do so without material cost or legal or regulatory disadvantage). For purposes of this Section 6.4, a distribution hereunder by the Agent or any Bank to or for the account of any Bank, Assignee or Participant

180-Day Credit Agreement

-18-

shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company. The Company’s agreement under this Section 6.4 shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes or any termination of this Agreement.

(b) In consideration of, and as a condition to, the Company’s undertakings in Section 6.4(a), each Bank other than a Bank that is organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof (a “Non-U.S. Bank”) agrees to execute and deliver to the Agent at its Payment Office for delivery to the Company, before the first scheduled payment date in each year, (i) to the extent it acts for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Non-U.S. Bank under this Agreement, two original copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Forms X-0XXX, X-0XXX or W-8EXP (or any successor forms), as appropriate, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Bank, and claiming complete exemption from withholding and deduction of United States Federal Taxes, and (ii) to the extent it does not act or has ceased to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Bank under this Agreement (for example, in the case of a typical Participation by such Non-U.S. Bank), (1) for the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such Non-U.S. Bank acts for its own account, two original copies of the forms or statements required to be provided by such Non-U.S. Bank under subsection (i) of this Section 6.4(b), properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Bank and claiming complete exemption from withholding and deduction of United States Federal Taxes, and (2) for the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such Non-U.S. Bank does not act or has ceased to act for its own account, two original copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Bank, together with any information, if any, such Non-U.S. Bank chooses to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Internal Revenue Code or the regulations issued thereunder. Each Bank hereby (i) represents and warrants to the Company that, at the date of this Agreement, or at the time such Bank becomes a Bank hereunder, it is entitled to receive payments of principal and interest hereunder without deduction for or on account of any Taxes imposed by the United States of America or any political subdivision thereof, and (ii) acknowledges that in the event that after the date of this Agreement or after the date that a Bank becomes a Bank hereunder, such Bank is no longer entitled to receive payments or principal and interest hereunder without deduction for or on account of any Taxes imposed by the United States of America or any political subdivision thereof, such Bank will be subject to removal pursuant to Section 13.8 hereof.

(c) Each Non-U.S. Bank hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Non-U.S. Bank of any forms or other information pursuant to Section 6.4(b), whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence so delivered obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Non-U.S. Bank shall promptly (and in all events, prior to the next applicable payment date), deliver to the Agent at the Payment Office for delivery to the Company two original copies of any renewal, amendment or additional or successor forms, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Bank, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required by applicable law or regulation in order to (i) confirm or establish such Non-U.S. Bank’s complete exemption from withholding and deduction of United States Federal Taxes with respect to payments to such Bank under this Agreement or (ii) in the case of a change in law after the date

180-Day Credit Agreement

-19-

on which such Non-U.S. Bank became a Bank hereunder that results in a withholding or deduction of United States Federal Taxes on payments hereunder to such Non-U.S. Bank, establish the status of such Non-U.S. Bank as other than a United States person for United States Federal tax purposes and, to the extent entitled under an applicable treaty or other law, claim the benefit of a reduced rate of withholding and deduction of United States Federal Taxes with respect to any such payments under an applicable tax treaty of the United States of America, or (iii) if applicable, confirm or establish that such Non-U.S. Bank does not act for its own account with respect to any portion of any such payments.

(d) If the Company determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting a Covered Tax with respect to which the Company has paid an additional amount under this Section 6.4, the Agent and the Banks, as applicable, shall, subject to Section 6.4(f), cooperate with the Company in challenging such Covered Tax at the Company’s expense if requested by the Company (it being understood and agreed that neither the Agent nor any Bank shall have any obligation to contest, or any responsibility for contesting, any Tax). If the Agent or a Bank has actual knowledge that it is entitled to receive a refund (whether by way of a direct payment or by clearly identifiable offset to an amount otherwise owed to the relevant taxing authority) in respect of a Covered Tax with respect to which the Company has paid an additional amount under this Section 6.4, it shall promptly notify the Company of the availability of such refund (unless it was made aware of such refund by the Company) and shall, within 30 days after the receipt of a request from the Company, apply for such refund at the Company’s expense. If the Agent or any Bank receives a refund (whether by way of a direct payment or by clearly identifiable offset to an amount otherwise owed to the relevant taxing authority) of any Covered Tax with respect to which the Company has paid an additional amount under this Section 6.4 which, in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, is allocable to such payment made under this Section 6.4, the amount of such refund (together with any interest received thereon) shall be paid to the Company, but only to the extent of the additional amounts received from the Company, provided that, in the case of a Covered Tax the Company was required to deduct and withhold under this Section 6.4, the Company deducted and withheld such Covered Tax in full as and when required pursuant to this Section 6.4, provided further, that if such refund subsequently becomes unavailable or must be returned, this will be treated as a Covered Tax indemnifiable under this Section 6.4.

(e) Each Bank that is organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof (a “U.S. Bank”) agrees to execute and deliver to the Agent at the Payment Office for delivery to the Company, on or before the date of this Agreement or on or before the date such Bank becomes a Bank hereunder and on or before the date on which such Bank ceases to act for its own account with respect to the applicable portion of any sums paid or payable to such U.S. Bank and before the first scheduled payment date in each subsequent year a copy of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms) properly completed and duly executed by such U.S. Bank, and claiming that it is organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof.

(f) Nothing contained in this Section 6.4 shall require any Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Company or any other Person.

180-Day Credit Agreement

-20-

(g) Each Bank shall promptly notify the Company and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to receipt of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 6.4 and will designate a different Funding Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such amounts and will not, in such Bank’s sole discretion, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

SECTION 7. INCREASED COSTS AND SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR LIBOR RATE LOANS.

Section 7.1. Increased Costs. (a) If after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or any Funding Office of such Bank) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency,

(A) shall subject any Bank (or any Funding Office of such Bank) to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its LIBOR Rate Loans, its Notes or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Loans, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Bank (or any Funding Office of such Bank) of the principal of or interest on its LIBOR Rate Loans or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of its LIBOR Rate Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Loans (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Bank or its Funding Office imposed by any Governmental Authority of the country in which such Bank is incorporated or in which such Bank’s Funding Office is located);

(B) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any reserve included in the determination of additional interest pursuant to Section 4.1), special deposit, assessment (including any assessment for insurance of deposits) or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or any Funding Office of such Bank); or

(C) shall impose on any Bank (or any Funding Office of such Bank) any other condition affecting its LIBOR Rate Loans, its Notes or its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to (or to impose an additional cost on) such Bank (or any Funding Office of such Bank) of making or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or such Bank’s Funding Office) under this Agreement or under its Notes with respect thereto, then within 10 days after demand by such Bank (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis of such demand), the Company shall pay directly to such Bank such additional

180-Day Credit Agreement

amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or such reduction (without duplication of any amounts which have been paid or reimbursed).

(b) If, after the date hereof, any Bank shall determine that the adoption, effectiveness or phase-in of any applicable law, rule, guideline or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or any Funding Office of such Bank or any Person controlling such Bank) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Bank or any Person controlling such Bank as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Bank’s or such controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, from time to time, within 10 days after demand by such Bank (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis of such demand), the Company shall pay directly to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or such controlling Person for such reduction.

(c) Each Bank shall promptly notify the Company and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 7.1 and will designate a different Funding Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in such Bank’s sole judgment, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

Section 7.2. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If with respect to the Loan Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan:

(a) the Telerate Page is not available and the Agent is unable to determine the LIBOR Rate in accordance with Section 4.3(b) and is advised by the Reference Bank that deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to the Reference Bank in the relevant market for such Loan Period, or the Agent otherwise determines (which determination shall be binding and conclusive on all parties) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the LIBOR market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBOR Rate; or

(b) the Required Banks advise the Agent that the LIBOR Rate as determined by the Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Required Banks of maintaining or funding LIBOR Rate Loans for such Loan Period, or that the making or funding of LIBOR Rate Loans has become impracticable as a result of an event occurring after the date of this Agreement which in such Required Banks’ opinion materially affects LIBOR Rate Loans,

then (i) the Agent shall promptly notify the other parties thereof and (ii) so long as such circumstances shall continue, (A) no Bank shall be under any obligation to make any LIBOR

180-Day Credit Agreement

-22-

Rate Loan and (B) and any Loan to be made by a Bank pursuant to a Revolving Loan Request by the Company shall be made as a Base Rate Loan.

Section 7.3. Changes in Law Rendering Certain Loans Unlawful. In the event that any change in (including the adoption of any new) applicable laws or regulations, or in the interpretation of applicable laws or regulations by any Governmental Authority or other regulatory body charged with the administration thereof, should make it (or in the good faith judgment of such Bank raise a substantial question as to whether it is) unlawful for a Bank to make, maintain or fund any LIBOR Rate Loan, then (a) such Bank shall promptly notify each of the other parties hereto, (b) upon the effectiveness of such event and so long as such unlawfulness shall continue, the obligation of such Bank to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended and any Loan to be made by such Bank pursuant to a Revolving Loan Request by the Company shall be made as a Base Rate Loan, and (c) on the last day of the current Loan Period for such Bank’s LIBOR Rate Loans (or, in any event, if such Bank so requests on such earlier date as may be required by the relevant law, regulation or interpretation) such Bank’s Loans which are LIBOR Rate Loans shall cease to be maintained as LIBOR Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the Base Rate. If at any time the event giving rise to such unlawfulness shall no longer exist, then such Bank shall promptly notify the Company and the Agent.

Section 7.4. Funding Losses. The Company hereby agrees that upon demand by any Bank (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for the calculations of the amount being claimed) the Company will indemnify such Bank against any net loss or expense which such Bank may sustain or incur (including, without limitation, any net loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Bank to fund or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan), as reasonably determined by such Bank, as a result of (a) any payment or mandatory or voluntary prepayment (including, without limitation, any payment pursuant to Section 7.3 or any payment resulting from acceleration) of any LIBOR Rate Loan of such Bank on a date other than the last day of the Loan Period for such Loan or (b) any failure of the Company to borrow any Revolving Loan on the originally scheduled Funding Date specified therefor pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any failure to borrow resulting from any failure to satisfy the conditions precedent to such borrowing). For this purpose, all notices to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be irrevocable.

Section 7.5. Discretion of Banks as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary (but subject to Section 7.1(c)), each Bank shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made as if such Bank had actually funded and maintained each LIBOR Rate Loan during the Loan Period for such Loan through the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to such Loan Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the rate borne by such Loan for such Loan Period.

Section 7.6. Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival of Provisions. Determinations and statements of any Bank pursuant to this Section 7 shall be conclusive absent

180-Day Credit Agreement

The Agent shall promptly advise the Company and each Bank of any such declaration, but failure to do so shall not impair the effect of such declaration.

SECTION 12. THE AGENT.

Section 12.1. Authorization. Each Bank and the holder of each Loan or interest therein authorizes the Agent to act on behalf of such Bank or holder to the extent provided herein and in any other document or instrument delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, and to take such other action as may be reasonably incidental thereto. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.3, the Agent will take such action permitted by any agreement delivered in connection with this Agreement as may be requested in writing by the Required Banks or if required under Section 13.1, all of the Banks. The Agent shall promptly remit in immediately available funds to each Bank or other holder its share of all payments received by the Agent for the account of such Bank or holder, and shall promptly transmit to each Bank (or share with each Bank the contents of) each notice it receives from the Company pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 12.2. Indemnification. The Banks agree to indemnify the Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company), ratably according to their respective Percentages (determined at the time such indemnity is sought), from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the repayment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that no Bank shall be liable for the payment to the Agent of any portion of such actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses resulting from the Agent’s or its employees’ or agents’ gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Section 13.5 each Bank agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly

180-Day Credit Agreement

-36-

upon demand for its ratable share (determined at the time such reimbursement is sought) of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Agent in such capacity in connection with the preparation, execution or enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any amendments or supplements hereto or thereto to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Company. All obligations provided for in this Section 12.2 shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes or any termination of this Agreement.

Section 12.3. Action on Instructions of the Required Banks. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Loans), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but the Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon the written instructions from (i) the Required Banks, except for instructions which under the express provisions hereof must be received by the Agent from all Banks and (ii) in the case of such instructions, from all Banks. In no event will the Agent be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. The relationship between the Agent and the Banks is and shall be that of agent and principal only and nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute the Agent a trustee for any holder of a Loan or of a participation therein nor to impose on the Agent duties and obligations other than those expressly provided for herein.

Section 12.4. Payments. (a) The Agent shall be entitled to assume that each Bank has made its Revolving Loan available in accordance with Section 3.2(c), as applicable, unless such Bank notifies the Agent at its Notice Office prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Funding Date for such Revolving Loan that it does not intend to make such Revolving Loan available, it being understood that no such notice shall relieve such Bank of any of its obligations under this Agreement. If the Agent makes any payment to the Company on the assumption that a Bank has made the proceeds of such Revolving Loan available to the Agent but such Bank has not in fact made the proceeds of such Revolving Loan available to the Agent, such Bank shall pay to the Agent on demand an amount equal to the amount of such Bank’s Revolving Loan, together with interest thereon for each day that elapses from and including such Funding Date to but excluding the Business Day on which the proceeds of such Bank’s Revolving Loan become immediately available to the Agent at its Payment Office prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, at the Federal Funds Rate for each such day, based upon a year of 360 days. A certificate of the Agent submitted to any Bank with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 12.4(a) shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. If the proceeds of such Bank’s Revolving Loan are not made available to the Agent at its Payment Office by such Bank within three Business Days of such Funding Date, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount upon two Business Days’ demand from the Company, together with interest thereon for each day that elapses from and including such Funding Date to but excluding the Business Day on which such proceeds become immediately available to the Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder, in either case based upon a year of 360 days. Nothing in this paragraph (a) shall relieve any Bank of any obligation it may have hereunder to make any Loan or prejudice any rights which the Company may have against any Bank as a result of any default by such Bank hereunder.

180-Day Credit Agreement

-37-

(b) The Agent shall be entitled to assume that the Company has made all payments due hereunder from the Company on the due date thereof unless it receives notification prior to any such due date from the Company that the Company does not intend to make any such payment, it being understood that no such notice shall relieve the Company of any of its obligations under this Agreement. If the Agent distributes any payment to a Bank hereunder in the belief that the Company has paid to the Agent the amount thereof but the Company has not in fact paid to the Agent such amount, such Bank shall pay to the Agent on demand (which shall be made by facsimile or personal delivery) an amount equal to the amount of the payment made by the Agent to such Bank, together with interest thereon for each day that elapses from and including the date on which the Agent made such payment to but excluding the Business Day on which the amount of such payment is returned to the Agent at its Payment Office in immediately available funds prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, at the Federal Funds Rate for each such day, based upon a year of 360 days. If the amount of such payment is not returned to the Agent in immediately available funds within three Business Days after demand by the Agent, such Bank shall pay to the Agent on demand an amount calculated in the manner specified in the preceding sentence after substituting the term “Base Rate” for the term “Federal Funds Rate”. A certificate of the Agent submitted to any Bank with respect to amounts owing under this Section 12.4(b) shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

Section 12.5. Exculpation. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon advice of counsel concerning legal matters, and upon this Agreement and any Note, security agreement, schedule, certificate, statement, report, notice or other writing which it believes to be genuine or to have been presented by a proper person. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall (i) be responsible for any recitals, representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of, this Agreement, any Note or any other instrument or document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (ii) be deemed to have knowledge of an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default until after having received actual notice thereof from the Company or a Bank, (iii) be under any duty to inquire into or pass upon any of the foregoing matters, or to make any inquiry concerning the performance by the Company or any other obligor of its obligations or (iv) in any event, be liable as such for any action taken or omitted by it or them, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, the Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 12.6. Credit Investigation. Each Bank acknowledges, and shall cause each Assignee or Participant to acknowledge in its assignment or participation agreement with such Bank, that it has (i) made and will continue to make such inquiries and has taken and will take such care on its own behalf as would have been the case had the Loans been made directly by such Bank or other applicable Person to the Company without the intervention of the Agent or any other Bank and (ii) independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made and will continue to make its own credit analysis and decisions relating to this Agreement. Each Bank agrees and acknowledges, and shall cause each Assignee or Participant to agree and acknowledge in its assignment or participation agreement with such Bank, that the Agent makes no representations or warranties about the creditworthiness of the Company or any other party to

180-Day Credit Agreement

-38-

this Agreement or with respect to the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of this Agreement or any Note.

Section 12.7. Bank of Scotland and Affiliates. Bank of Scotland and any such successor and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage, and continue to engage, in any kind of business with the Company or any Affiliate thereof as if Bank of Scotland or such successor were not the Agent hereunder.

Section 12.8. Resignation. The Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Company and the Banks. In the event of any such resignation, Banks having an aggregate Percentage of more than 50% shall as promptly as practicable appoint a successor Agent from among the Banks reasonably acceptable to the Company (no such acceptance being required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Agent from among the Banks reasonably acceptable to the Company (no such acceptance being required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof or under the laws of another country which is doing business in the United States of America and having a combined capital, surplus and undivided profits of at least $1,000,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all further duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 12 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

Section 12.9. The Register; the Notes.

(a) The Agent, acting on behalf of the Company, shall maintain a register for the inscription of the names and addresses of Banks and the Commitments and Loans of each Bank from time to time (the “Register”). The Company, the Banks, and the Agent may treat each Person whose name is inscribed in the Register as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, the Agent, or any Bank at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(b) The Agent shall inscribe in the Register the Commitments and Loans from time to time of each Bank, the amount of each Bank’s participation in outstanding Loans and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Bank, the principal amount owing from time to time by the Company in respect of each Loan to each Bank of such Loans and the dates on which the Loan Period for each such Loan shall begin and end. Any such inscription shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and each Bank, absent manifest or demonstrable error; provided that failure to make any such inscription, or any error in such inscription, shall not affect any of the Company’s obligations in respect of the applicable Loans. The inscription in the Register of the principal amount owing from time to time by the Company in respect of each Loan shall constitute an unconditional and irrevocable covenant by

180-Day Credit Agreement

-39-

the Company in favor of the Person whose name is so inscribed as the Bank in respect of such Loan that the Company will make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Loan in accordance with this Agreement, make all other payments required by this Agreement to be made by it in respect of such Loan and otherwise perform all of its obligations under this Agreement in full and by the due date.

(c) Each Bank shall record on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof; provided that in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Bank’s records, the inscriptions in the Register shall govern, absent manifest or demonstrable error.

(d) If so requested by any Bank by written notice to the Company (with a copy to Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date or at any time thereafter, the Company shall execute and deliver to such Bank (and/or, if so specified in such notice, any Person who is an assignee of such Bank pursuant to Section 13.4.1 hereof) promptly after receipt of such notice, a Note, substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto.

SECTION 13. GENERAL.

Section 13.1. Waiver; Amendments. No delay on the part of the Agent, any Bank, or the holder of any Loan in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or the Notes shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Agent and by Banks having an aggregate Percentage of not less than the aggregate Percentage expressly designated herein with respect thereto or, in the absence of such designation as to any provision of this Agreement or the Notes, by the Required Banks, and then any amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No amendment, modification, waiver or consent (i) shall extend or increase the amount of the Commitments, extend the maturity of any Commitment or Loan, change the definition of “Required Banks” or “Percentage” in Section 1, amend or modify Section 4.1, or change any of the defined terms used in Section 4.1, amend or modify Section 4.4, Section 4.5, Section 4.6, Section 6.2(a), Section 11.1.1, Section 11.1.8, or this Section 13.1 or otherwise change the aggregate Percentage required to effect an amendment, modification, waiver or consent without the written consent of all Banks, (ii) shall modify or waive any of the conditions precedent specified in Section 10.1 (or Section 5.3 in connection with the exercise of the Term-Out Option) for the making of any Loan without the written consent of the Bank which is to make such Loan or (iii) shall extend the scheduled maturity or reduce the principal amount of, or rate of interest on, reduce or waive any fee hereunder or extend the due date for or waive any amount payable under, any Loan without the written consent of the holder of the Commitment or Loan adversely affected thereby.

Where the character or amount of any asset or liability or item of income or expense is required to be determined, or any consolidation or other accounting computation is required to be made, for the purpose of this Agreement, such determination or calculation shall, at any time and to the extent applicable and except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, be made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applied on a basis consistent with those in effect as at the date of the Company’s audited financial statements referred to in Section 8.4. If there should be any material change in generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America after the date hereof which materially affects the financial covenants in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree to negotiate in good faith appropriate revisions of such covenants (it being understood, however, that such covenants shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their existing terms pending the execution by the Company and the Required Banks of any such amendment).

Section 13.4. Assignments; Participations. Each Bank may assign, or sell participations in, its Loans and its Commitment to one or more other Persons in accordance with this Section 13.4 (and the Company consents to the disclosure of any information obtained by any Bank in connection herewith to any actual or prospective Assignee or Participant).

Section 13.4.1. Assignments. Any Bank may with the written consents of the Company and the Agent (which consents will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) at any time assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees (any Person to whom an assignment and delegation is made being herein called an “Assignee”) all or any fraction of such Bank’s Loans and Commitment (which assignment and delegation shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of such assigning Bank’s Loans and Commitment); each such assignment of a Bank’s Commitment shall be in the minimum amount of $10,000,000 or in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided, that any such Assignee will comply, if applicable, with the provisions contained in the first sentence of Section 6.4(b) and in Section 6.4(c), Section 6.4(d), Section 6.4(e) and Section 6.4(g) and shall be deemed to have made, on the date of the effectiveness of such assignment and delegation, the representation and warranty set forth in the second sentence of Section 6.4(b); and provided, further, that the Company and the Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such assigning Bank in connection with the interests so assigned and delegated to an Assignee until such assigning Bank and/or such Assignee shall have:

180-Day Credit Agreement

-41-

(i) given written notice of such assignment and delegation, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to such Assignee, substantially in the form of Exhibit F, to the Company and the Agent;

(ii) provided evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Agent that, as of the date of such assignment and delegation, the Company will not be required to pay any costs, fees, taxes or other amounts of any kind or nature with respect to the interest assigned in excess of those payable by the Company with respect to such interest prior to such assignment;

(iii) paid to the Agent for the account of the Agent a processing fee of $3,500; and

(iv) provided to the Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agent that the assigning Bank has complied with the provisions of the last sentence of Section 12.6.

Upon receipt of the foregoing items and the consents of the Company and the Agent, (x) the Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated to such Assignee, such Assignee shall have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder and under the other instruments and documents executed in connection herewith and (y) the assigning Bank, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated by it, shall be released from its obligations hereunder. The Agent may from time to time (and upon the request of the Company or any Bank after any change therein shall) distribute a revised Schedule I indicating any changes in the Banks party hereto or the respective Percentages of such Banks and update the Register. Within five Business Days after the Company’s receipt of notice from the Agent of the effectiveness of any such assignment and delegation, if requested by the Assignee in accordance with Section 12.9, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Agent (for delivery to the relevant Assignee) new Notes in favor of such Assignee and, if the assigning Bank has retained Loans and a Commitment hereunder and if so requested by such Bank in accordance with Section 12.9, replacement Notes in favor of the assigning Bank (such Notes to be in exchange for, but not in payment of, the Notes previously held by such assigning Bank). Each such Note shall be dated the date of the predecessor Notes. The assigning Bank shall promptly xxxx the predecessor Notes, if any, “exchanged” and deliver them to the Company. Any attempted assignment and delegation not made in accordance with this Section 13.4.1 shall be null and void.

The foregoing consent requirement shall not be applicable in the case of, and this Section 13.4.1 shall not restrict, any assignment or other transfer by any Bank of all or any portion of such Bank’s Loans or Commitment to (i) any Federal Reserve Bank (provided, that such Federal Reserve Bank shall not be considered a “Bank” for purposes of this Agreement) or (ii) any Affiliate of such Bank (provided, that the assigning or transferring Bank shall give notice of such assignment or transfer to the Agent and the Company). Further, the foregoing consent

180-Day Credit Agreement

-42-

requirement of the Company shall not be applicable if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

The Company, each Bank, and each Assignee acknowledge and agree that after receipt by the Agent of the items and consents required by this Section each Assignee shall be considered a Bank for all purposes of this Agreement (including without limitation Sections 6.4, 7.1, 7.4, 13.5 and 13.6) and by its acceptance of an assignment herein, each Assignee agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation Section 6.4).

Section 13.4.2. Participations. Any Bank may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other Persons (any such commercial bank or other Person being herein called a “Participant”) participating interests in any of its Loans, its Commitment or any other interest of such Bank hereunder; provided, however, that

(a) no participation contemplated in this Section 13.4.2 shall relieve such Bank from its Commitment or its other obligations hereunder;

(b) such Bank shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its Commitment and such other obligations hereunder and such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Company hereunder, including the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (subject to Section 13.4.2(d) below);

(c) the Company and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(d) no Participant, unless such Participant is an Affiliate of such Bank, or is itself a Bank, shall be entitled to require such Bank to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder, except that such Bank may agree with any Participant that such Bank will not, without such Participant’s consent, take any actions of the type described in the third sentence of Section 13.1;

(e) the Company shall not be required to pay any amount under Sections 4.1, 6.4 or 7.1 that is greater than the amount which the Company would have been required to pay had no participating interest been sold;

(f) no Participant may further participate any interest in any Loan (and each participation agreement shall contain a restriction to such effect);

(g) to the extent permitted by applicable law, each Participant shall be considered a Bank for purposes of Section 6.4, Section 7.1, Section 7.4, Section 13.5 and Section 13.6 and by its acceptance of a participating interest in any Loan, Commitment or any other interest of a Bank hereunder, each Participant agrees (i) that it is bound by, and agrees to deliver all documentation required under, the provisions of Section 6.2(b) and Section 6.4 as if such Participant were a Bank, and (ii) it is not entitled to any benefits

180-Day Credit Agreement

-43-

under Section 6.4 or Section 7.1 unless it is in full compliance with all requirements imposed on Banks under any of those Sections; and

(h) such Bank shall have provided to the Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agent that such Bank has complied with the provisions of the last sentence of Section 12.6.

Any Bank (a “Granting Bank”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle organized under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof (a “SPV”) of such Granting Bank, identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Bank to the Agent and the Company, the option to provide to the Company all or any part of its Loans that such Granting Bank would otherwise be obligated to make to the Company pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that (i) such SPV shall be deemed to be a Participant for purposes of this Section 13.4.2, (ii) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan, (iii) if a SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Bank shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof and (iv) the Company shall not be required to pay any amount under Sections 13.5 or 13.6 that is greater than the amount which the Company would have been required to pay had such SPV not provided the Company with any part of any Loan of such Granting Bank. The making of a Loan by a SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Bank to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Bank. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (any indemnity, liability or other payment obligation, including but not limited to any tax liabilities that occur by reason of such funding by the SPV, shall remain the obligation of the Granting Bank). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof.
