ARTICLE II

THE CREDITS

Section 2.01. Extensions of Credit.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Advances, at any time and from time to time until the Termination Date, to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed such Lender’s Commitment minus an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage multiplied by the Outstanding Credits at such time.

(b) At no time shall the Outstanding Credits exceed the aggregate Commitments. The Borrower agrees to prepay Advances (subject to payment of the breakage fee required pursuant to Section 9.05(b)(ii)), satisfy reimbursement obligations and/or deposit funds in the Cash Collateral Account in respect of undrawn Letters of Credit to the extent required to ensure compliance with this provision at all times.

(d) Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 2.12(a), and reborrow Advances hereunder, on and after the date hereof and prior to the Termination Date, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein.

Section 2.02. Advances.

(a) Each Advance (other than Swingline Advances, which shall be made by the Swingline Lender in accordance with Section 2.03) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Advances made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Advance shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Advance required to be made by such other Lender). The Advances (other than Swingline Advances) comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 (or an aggregate principal amount equal to the remaining balance of the available Commitments).

(b) Each Borrowing (other than with respect to Swingline Advances) shall be comprised entirely of Eurodollar Advances or Base Rate Advances, as the Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03. Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Advance by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Advance; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Advance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Subject to Section 2.01(c), Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time.

(c) Each Lender shall make each Advance to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent in New York, New York, not later than 12:00 noon, and the Administrative Agent shall, by 2:00 P.M., credit the amounts so received to the account or accounts specified from time to time in one or more notices delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this subsection (c) and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that

such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower (without waiving any claim against such Lender for such Lender’s failure to make such portion available) severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate; provided, however, that should both the Borrower and such Lender repay the Administrative Agent in accordance with this sentence, the Administrative Agent will forthwith return the amount in excess of the portion due to it under this sentence to the Borrower. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 2.03. Borrowing and Conversion Procedures; Swingline Advances.

(a) In order to request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Borrowing Request (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 10:00 A.M. three Business Days before such Borrowing, and (b) in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing or a Swingline Advance, not later than 10:00 A.M. on the Business Day of such Borrowing. Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall in each case specify (i) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to comprise Eurodollar Advances or Base Rate Advances or will consist of a Swingline Advance; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and the amount thereof; and (iii) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto, which shall not end after the Termination Date. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Each Swingline Advance shall be made and maintained as a Base Rate Advance at all times.

(b) The Borrower may on any Business Day, by delivering a notice of conversion (a “Notice of Conversion”) to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 A.M. on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion, and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.09 and 2.13, Convert any Borrowing of one Type or for one Interest Period into a Borrowing of another Type or for another Interest Period (other than Swingline Advances); provided, however, that any Conversion of any Eurodollar Borrowing shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period. Each such Notice of Conversion shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit I hereto and shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Borrowings to be Converted, (iii) if such Conversion will result in a Eurodollar Borrowing, the duration of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Borrowing, and (iv) the aggregate amount of Borrowings proposed to be Converted. If the Borrower shall not have provided a Notice of Conversion with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing on or prior to 10:00 A.M. on the third Business Day prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, in the case of a Conversion to or in respect of Eurodollar Advances, or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the third Business Day prior to the last day of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing, the Administrative Agent will

forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders and such Borrowing will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Borrowing.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Borrowing shall be requested or Converted if the Interest Period with respect thereto would end after the Termination Date. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing or Conversion.

(d) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Swingline Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, may in its sole discretion make Swingline Advances to the Borrower from time to time from on or after the date hereof through, but not including, the Termination Date; provided, that the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline Outstandings (after giving effect to any amount requested), shall not exceed the Swingline Commitment, and that the Outstanding Credits of any Lender (after giving effect to any amount requested) shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment; and provided further, that the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swingline Advance to refinance any outstanding Swingline Advance. Each Swingline Advance shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000 (except that any such Swingline Advance may be in the aggregate amount of the unused Swingline Commitment). The Borrower shall repay to the Swingline Lender the outstanding principal amount of all Swingline Advances on the earlier of (i) 10 Business Days after the date a Swingline Advance is made and (ii) the Termination Date. Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Advances, in each case under this Section 2.03.

(e) Swingline Advances shall be refunded by the Lenders on demand by the Swingline Lender. Such refundings shall be made by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages and shall thereafter be reflected as Advances of the Lenders on the books and records of the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall fund its Commitment Percentage of Advances required to repay Swingline Advances outstanding upon demand by the Swingline Lender but in no event later than 1:00 P.M. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the next succeeding Business Day after such demand is made. No Lender’s obligation to fund its Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Advance shall be affected by any other Lender’s failure to fund its Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Advance, nor shall any Lender’s Commitment Percentage be increased as a result of any such failure of any other Lender to fund its Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Advance.

(f) The Borrower shall pay to the Swingline Lender on demand, the outstanding principal amount of all Swingline Advances to the extent amounts received from the Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Swingline Advances requested or required to be refunded. In addition, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to charge any account maintained by the Borrower with the Swingline Lender (up to the amount available therein) in order to immediately pay the Swingline Lender the outstanding principal amount of such Swingline Advances to the extent amounts received from the Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding principal amount of the Swingline Advances requested or required to be refunded. If any portion of any such amount paid to the Swingline Lender shall be recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower from the Swingline Lender in bankruptcy or

otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (unless the amounts so recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower pertain to a Swingline Advance extended after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default of which the Administrative Agent has received notice in the manner required pursuant to Section 5.01(b) and which such Event of Default has not been waived in accordance with Section 9.08).

(g) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to refund Swingline Advances (other than Swingline Advances extended after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default of which the Administrative Agent has received notice in the manner required pursuant to Section 5.01(b) and which such Event of Default has not been waived in accordance with Section 9.08) in accordance with the terms of this Section is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article III. Further, each Lender agrees and acknowledges that if prior to the refunding of any outstanding Swingline Advance pursuant to this Section, any event described in Section 7.01(e) or (f) shall have occurred, each Lender will, on the date the applicable Advance would have been made, purchase an undivided participating interest in such Swingline Advance to be refunded in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount of such Swingline Advance. Each Lender will immediately transfer to the Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation, and upon receipt of such amount the Swingline Lender will deliver to such Lender a certificate evidencing such participation dated the date of receipt of such funds and for such amount. Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Lender such Lender’s participating interest in a Swingline Advance, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded).

Section 2.04. Letters of Credit.

(a) Upon the written request of the Borrower and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, an LC Bank, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, shall issue Letters of Credit hereunder for the account of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that the Borrower shall be the account party for the purposes of this Agreement and shall have the reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued in a form acceptable to the issuing LC Bank. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued (or the stated maturity thereof extended or terms thereof modified or amended) on not less than two Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Borrower and the applicable LC Bank) prior notice thereof by delivery of (x) a Request for Issuance of a Letter of Credit and (y) a Letter of Credit Application to such LC Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly forward copies thereof to the Lenders). Each such Request for Issuance shall specify (i) the date (which shall be a Business Day) of issuance of such Letter of Credit (or the date of effectiveness of such extension, modification or amendment) and the stated expiry date thereof (which shall be no later than the earliest to occur of (x) one year after the date of issuance (or later, with the consent of the applicable LC Bank, subject to the limitation in clause (y) below) and (y) the fifth Business Day preceding the Termination Date; provided, that Auto-Extension Letters of Credit will be permitted, subject to the limitation in clause (y) above

and subsection (b) below), (ii) the proposed stated amount of such Letter of Credit, (iii) the name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (iv) a statement of drawing conditions applicable to such Letter of Credit, and if such request for issuance relates to an amendment or modification of a Letter of Credit, it shall be accompanied by the consent of the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit thereto. Each Request for Issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be irrevocable unless modified or rescinded by the Borrower not less than one Business Day prior to the proposed date of issuance (or effectiveness) specified therein. Unless the applicable LC Bank has received written notice from any Lender or the Administrative Agent, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment specified in such Request for Issuance, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Section 3.01 or 3.02 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the applicable LC Bank shall, not later than 12:00 noon on such requested date, issue (or extend, amend or modify) such Letter of Credit and provide notice and a copy thereof to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, in each case in accordance with the LC Bank’s usual and customary business practices. The Administrative Agent shall furnish (i) to each Lender, a copy of such notice and (ii) to each Lender that may so request, a copy of such Letter of Credit. The LC Bank shall provide to the Administrative Agent, on a monthly basis, a list of the amounts and expiration dates of all undrawn Letters of Credit, a copy of which list the Administrative Agent shall furnish to each Lender that may so request. No Letter of Credit shall be amended or modified after issuance (i) other than in accordance with its terms, which terms permit reductions by the beneficiary by delivery of a certificate attached to such Letter of Credit, or (ii) without the prior written consent of the Borrower, which consent may be sent by telecopy.

(b) If the Borrower so requests in any Request for Issuance or Letter of Credit Application, the applicable LC Bank shall issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such LC Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by such LC Bank, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such LC Bank for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such LC Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the day that is five Business Days prior to the Termination Date then in effect (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next preceding Business Day); provided, however, that such LC Bank shall not permit any such extension if (A) such LC Bank has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.04(a) or (d) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the Administrative Agent that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(c) If the Borrower so requests in any Request for Issuance or Letter of Credit Application, the applicable LC Bank may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that permits the automatic reinstatement of all or a portion of the stated amount thereof after any drawing thereunder (each, an “Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit”). Unless otherwise

directed by such LC Bank, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such LC Bank to permit such reinstatement. Once an Auto-Reinstatement Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such LC Bank to reinstate all or a portion of the stated amount thereof in accordance with the provisions of such Letter of Credit; provided, however, that such LC Bank shall not permit any such reinstatement if such LC Bank has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to reinstate such Letter of Credit under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of the first sentence of Section 2.04(d) or otherwise).

(d) No Letter of Credit shall be requested, issued, extended or reinstated hereunder if, after the issuance, extension or reinstatement thereof, (i) the LC Outstandings would exceed the LC Committed Amount, (ii) the Outstanding Credits would exceed the aggregate Commitments or (iii) the LC Outstandings with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by any LC Bank would exceed the Fronting Commitment of such LC Bank. No LC Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such LC Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, (B) any law applicable to such LC Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such LC Bank shall prohibit, or request that such LC Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such LC Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such LC Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Original Agreement Date, or shall impose upon such LC Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable on the Original Agreement Date and that such LC Bank in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it, (C) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such LC Bank or (D) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such LC Bank has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of cash collateral, satisfactory to such LC Bank (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such LC Bank’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 9.15(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other LC Outstandings as to which such LC Bank has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

(e) The Borrower hereby agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable LC Bank, no later than the second Business Day following demand made by such LC Bank or the Administrative Agent, on and after the date on which such LC Bank shall pay any amount under any Letter of Credit issued by it, a sum equal to the amount so paid plus interest on such amount from the date so paid by such LC Bank until repayment to such LC Bank in full at a fluctuating interest rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Advances plus, if any amount paid by such LC Bank under a Letter of Credit is not reimbursed by the Borrower on or prior to the date when due under this clause (e) (whether with the proceeds of Advances or otherwise), 2%.

(f) If the Borrower shall not have reimbursed the LC Bank for any Unreimbursed LC Disbursement by 10:00 A.M. on the second Business Day following demand for payment by an LC Bank or the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (e) above, then, unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent otherwise, the LC Bank shall promptly

deliver notice of such failure to reimburse to the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower shall be deemed to have delivered to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Request for a Borrowing to be made on such date comprising Base Rate Advances in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Unreimbursed LC Disbursement. The Administrative Agent shall deliver prompt notice of such Borrowing Request to the Lenders, and each Lender shall make the Advance to be made by it in connection with such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.02(c); provided, however, the proceeds of such Advances shall be credited solely to the account of the applicable LC Bank in order to reimburse such LC Bank for such Unreimbursed LC Disbursement. If and to the extent that any Lender shall have funded its participation in such Unreimbursed LC Disbursement pursuant to subsection (h) below prior to the time that such Lender is required to fund its Advance under this subsection (f) pursuant to a Borrowing made to reimburse the LC Bank for such Unreimbursed LC Disbursement, then such participation interest shall be deemed to be such Lender’s Advance made as part of such Borrowing, and such Lender shall have no further obligation to fund an Advance as part of such Borrowing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection (f), if the conditions precedent to Extensions of Credit in Section 3.02 are not satisfied on the date the Borrowing Request described above is deemed to be given by the Borrower, then amounts funded by the Lenders under this subsection (f) will not constitute Advances hereunder but will constitute participations purchased by the Lenders in the applicable Unreimbursed LC Disbursement pursuant to subsection (h) below.

(g) Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit by an LC Bank, such LC Bank hereby sells and transfers to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such LC Bank, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage in and to such Letter of Credit, including the obligations of such LC Bank under and in respect thereof and the Borrower’s reimbursement and other obligations in respect thereof, whether now existing or hereafter arising.

(h) Each Lender, upon issuance of a Letter of Credit, shall be deemed to have purchased without recourse a risk participation from the applicable LC Bank in such Letter of Credit and the rights and obligations arising thereunder, in each case in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the obligations under such Letter of Credit, and shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and be obligated to pay to the applicable LC Bank therefor and discharge when due, its Commitment Percentage of the obligations arising under such Letter of Credit. Without limiting the scope and nature of each Lender’s participation in any Letter of Credit, if an LC Bank shall not have been reimbursed in full for any payment made by such LC Bank under any Letter of Credit on the date of such payment, such LC Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such non-reimbursement and the amount thereof. Upon receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Bank an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Unreimbursed LC Disbursement, plus interest on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from the date of such payment by such LC Bank to the date of payment to such LC Bank by such Lender. All such payments by each Lender shall be made in United States dollars and in same day funds not later than 3:00 P.M. on the later to occur of (A) the Business Day immediately following the date of such payment by such LC Bank and (B) the Business Day on which such Lender shall have received notice of such non-reimbursement; provided, however, that if such notice is received by

such Lender later than 11:00 A.M. on such Business Day, such payment shall be payable on the next Business Day. Each Lender agrees that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. If a Lender shall have paid to such LC Bank its ratable portion of any Unreimbursed LC Disbursement, together with all interest thereon required by the second sentence of this subsection (h), such Lender shall be entitled to receive its ratable share of all interest paid by the Borrower in respect of such Unreimbursed LC Disbursement. If such Lender shall have made such payment to such LC Bank, but without all such interest thereon required by the second sentence of this subsection (h), such Lender shall be entitled to receive its ratable share of the interest paid by the Borrower in respect of such Unreimbursed LC Disbursement only from the date it shall have paid all interest required by the second sentence of this subsection (h).

(i) The failure of any Lender to make any payment to an LC Bank in accordance with subsection (f) or (h) above shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make payment, but neither such LC Bank nor any Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make such payment. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment to an LC Bank in accordance with subsection (f) or (h) above, then such Lender shall pay to such LC Bank forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day until the date such amount is repaid to such LC Bank at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall in any way limit, waive or otherwise reduce any claims that any party hereto may have against any non-performing Lender.

(j) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment to an LC Bank in accordance with subsection (f) or (h) above, then, in addition to other rights and remedies that such LC Bank may have, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, at the request of such LC Bank, to withhold and to apply to the payment of such amounts owing by such Lender to such LC Bank and any related interest, that portion of any payment received by the Administrative Agent that would otherwise be payable to such Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, if any Lender shall fail to make any payment to an LC Bank in accordance with subsection (f) or (h) above, and such failure shall continue for five Business Days following written notice of such failure from such LC Bank to such Lender, such LC Bank may acquire, or transfer to a third party acceptable to the Borrower, such acceptance, not to be unreasonably withheld, in exchange for the sum or sums due from such Lender, such Lender’s interest in the related Unreimbursed LC Disbursement and all other rights of such Lender hereunder in respect thereof, without, however, relieving such Lender from any liability for damages, costs and expenses suffered by such LC Bank as a result of such failure, and prior to such transfer, such LC Bank shall be deemed, for purposes of Section 2.15 and Article VII hereof, to be a Lender hereunder owed an Advance in an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount due and payable by such Lender to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Bank pursuant to subsection (f) or (h) above. The purchaser of any such interest shall be deemed to have acquired an interest senior to the interest of such Lender and shall be entitled to receive all subsequent payments that such LC Bank or the Administrative Agent would otherwise have made hereunder to such Lender in respect of such interest.

(k) The payment obligations of the Borrower under Section 2.04(e) in respect of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid

strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto or to such Letter of Credit;

(ii) any amendment or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, the terms of this Agreement or such Letter of Credit;

(iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary, or any transferee, of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for which any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated thereby or by such Letter of Credit, or any unrelated transaction;

(iv) any statement or any other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(v) payment in good faith by an LC Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(vi) any failure to issue a Letter of Credit (or any amendment thereto) in accordance with the specifications set forth by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.04(a), provided that the Borrower may cause such a Letter of Credit (or such amendment) to be replaced or rescinded if (A) it provides written notice to the applicable LC Bank (which shall promptly forward copies to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders) of any discrepancy from such specifications within three Business Days after the Borrower shall have received a copy of such Letter of Credit (or such amendment), (B) such discrepancy is material and consequential, and (C) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit consents in writing to such replacement or revocation;

(vii) any claim or potential claim for breach of warranty by the applicable LC Bank, the Lenders or the Borrower against the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit;

(viii) any action or inaction taken or not taken by an LC Bank or any of its correspondents in connection with any Letter of Credit or any sight draft, certificate or other document presented pursuant thereto, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, in good faith and in conformity with applicable law.

(l) Without limiting any other provision of this Section 2.04, for purposes of this Section 2.04 each LC Bank and any of its respective correspondents:

(i) may rely upon any oral, telephonic, telegraphic, facsimile, electronic, written or other communication believed in good faith to have been authorized by the Borrower, whether or not given or signed by an authorized person of the Borrower;

(ii) shall not be responsible for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any message, advice or document in connection with a Letter of Credit, whether transmitted by courier or facsimile, or for errors in interpretation of technical terms or in translation (and such LC Bank and its correspondents may transmit Letter of Credit terms without translating them), other than those errors resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct of such LC Bank or such correspondent, as the case may be, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction;

(iii) shall not be responsible, absent the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such LC Bank or its correspondents, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, for verifying the identity or authority of any signer of, or the form, accuracy, genuineness, falsification or legal effect of, any draft, certificate or other document presented under any Letter of Credit if such draft, certificate or other document on its face appears to be in order;

(iv) shall not be responsible for any acts or omissions by, or the solvency of, the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other person or entity having any role in any transaction underlying such Letter of Credit;

(v) may accept or pay as complying with the terms and conditions of any Letter of Credit, any draft, certificate or other document appearing on its face (i) substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, (ii) to be signed or presented by, or issued to any successor of, the beneficiary or any other person required or authorized by such Letter of Credit to sign or present any sight draft, certificate or other document under such Letter of Credit, including any administrator, executor, personal representative, trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, liquidator, receiver, or successor by merger or consolidation, or any other person or entity purporting to act as the representative of or in place of any of the foregoing, or (iii) to have been signed, presented or issued after a change of name of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit;

(vi) may disregard any discrepancies known to it in any Letter of Credit that do not reduce, in the good faith judgment of such LC Bank or its correspondents, the value of the performance to the Borrower by the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit in any transaction underlying such Letter of Credit;

(vii) shall not be responsible for the effectiveness or suitability of any Letter of Credit with respect to the Borrower’s purpose in requesting such Letter of Credit;

(viii) shall not be liable to the Borrower for any consequential or special damages, or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any goods or other property subject to or underlying any Letter of Credit;

(ix) absent any gross negligence or willful misconduct on part of such LC Bank or its correspondents, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether pursuant to court order, to settle or compromise any claim wrongfully dishonored, or otherwise, and shall be

entitled to reimbursement of amounts paid under such Letter of Credit to the same extent as if such presentation had been honored initially; and

(x) may pay amounts owed to any paying or negotiating bank (designated or permitted by the terms of any Letter of Credit) claiming that it rightfully honored, under the laws or practices of the place where it is located, any sight draft, certificate or other document presented under any Letter of Credit.

None of the circumstances described in this Section 2.04(l) shall subject such LC Bank or any of its correspondents to any liability to the Borrower.

(m) The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit. Neither the Administrative Agent, any LC Bank, the Lenders nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be liable or responsible for (i) the use that may be made of such Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee thereof in connection therewith; (ii) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (iii) payment by any LC Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to such Letter of Credit; or (iv) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under a Letter of Credit, except that the Borrower shall have the right to bring suit against the applicable LC Bank, and the applicable LC Bank shall be liable to the Borrower, to the extent of any direct, as opposed to consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower that the Borrower proves were caused by the applicable LC Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, including the applicable LC Bank’s willful failure to make timely payment under such Letter of Credit following the presentation to it by the beneficiary thereof of a draft and accompanying certificate(s) that strictly comply with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, any LC Bank may accept sight drafts and accompanying certificates presented under the Letter of Credit issued by such LC Bank that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and payment against such documents shall not constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence by such LC Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be obligated to indemnify the LC Bank for damages caused by any LC Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(n) The Borrower acknowledges that the rights and obligations of the applicable LC Bank under any Letter of Credit are independent of the existence, performance or nonperformance of any contract or arrangement underlying such Letter of Credit. The applicable LC Bank may, without incurring any liability to the Borrower or impairing its entitlement to reimbursement under this Agreement, honor any Letter of Credit despite notice from the Borrower of, and without any duty to inquire into, any defense to payment or any adverse claims or other rights against the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit or any other person. The applicable LC Bank shall have no duty to request or require the presentation of any document, including any default certificate, not required to be presented under the terms and conditions of any Letter

of Credit. The applicable LC Bank shall have no duty to seek any waiver of discrepancies from the Borrower, nor any duty to grant any waiver of discrepancies that the Borrower approves or requests. The applicable LC Bank shall have no duty to extend the expiration date or term of any Letter of Credit or, except as provided under Section 2.04(k)(vi), to issue a replacement letter of credit on or before the expiration date of such Letter of Credit or the end of such term. The applicable LC Bank shall not be liable to the Borrower under this Section 2.04(n) for any action or inaction by it, unless such action or inaction results from such LC Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(o) Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable LC Bank and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit, provided that, if the Borrower wishes to opt out of Rule 3.14 of the ISP for a Letter of Credit, the Borrower must so request in the Request for Issuance and Letter of Credit Application for such Letter of Credit, and provided further that, if the applicable LC Bank is not so instructed, then Rule 3.14 of the ISP shall be deemed to apply to such Letter of Credit, and such Letter of Credit shall be deemed outstanding as indicated in the last sentence of the definition of “LC Outstandings”.

Section 2.05. Fees

(a) Facility Fee. In consideration of the Commitments being made available by the Lenders, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders, a facility fee equal to the Facility Fee Rate in effect from time to time multiplied by the aggregate amount of the Commitments from time to time (regardless of usage), payable in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December during the term of such Lender’s Commitment and on the Termination Date.

(b) Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a letter of credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”), at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin with respect to Eurodollar Advances on the daily average amount of each such Lender’s Commitment Percentage multiplied by the LC Outstandings, from the date hereof until the later to occur of the Termination Date and the date on which no Letters of Credit in which such Lender is obligated to participate are outstanding, payable in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December during the term of such Lender’s Commitment, and on such later date.

(c) Additional Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, and to the Arrangers, for their own respective accounts, such other fees as are required to be paid to it under the Fee Letters. The Borrower shall pay to each LC Bank, for its own account, such other fees relating to the issuance of Letters of Credit as have been or may from time to time be agreed between them.

(d) Nonrefundable; Basis for Calculation. Once paid, none of the facility fees, the Letter of Credit Fees or other fees provided for in this Section 2.05 shall be refundable under any circumstances. All fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days.

Section 2.06. Repayment of Advances; Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a) The outstanding principal balance of each Advance, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable on the Termination Date.

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

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

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 2.06 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Advances and interest thereon in accordance with their terms.

(e) Any Lender may request that its Advances be evidenced by a Note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to the order of such Lender. Thereafter, the Advances evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to Section 9.04, except to the extent that any such Lender or assignee subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Advances once again be evidenced as described in subsections (a) and (b) above.

Section 2.07. Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (d) below and Sections 2.08, 2.09 and 2.13, the Advances comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days), at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.08, the Advances comprising each Swingline Advance shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365/366 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Advances.

(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08, the Advances comprising each Base Rate Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed

over a year of 365/366 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(d) Interest on each Advance shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable to such Advance except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

(e) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender any costs actually incurred by such Lender in connection with making or maintaining Extensions of Credit hereunder that are attributable to such Lender’s compliance with regulations of the Board requiring the maintenance of reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency Liabilities. Such costs shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender in the form of additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Advance of such Lender, from the date such Advance is made until such principal amount is paid in full, at an interest rate per annum equal at all times to the remainder obtained by subtracting (i) the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period for such Advance from (ii) the rate obtained by dividing such Eurodollar Rate by a percentage equal to 100% minus the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage of such Lender for such Interest Period, payable on each Interest Payment Date for such Advance. Such additional interest shall be determined by such Lender and notified to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, provided, that failure to so notify the Borrower shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to request and receive additional interest under this subsection (d). A certificate as to the amount of such additional interest, submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Each Lender claiming any additional interest payable pursuant to this subsection shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such additional interest that may thereafter be due and payable and would not, in the good faith determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

Section 2.08. Default Interest.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.04(e), if and for so long as an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Advance outstanding hereunder shall bear interest at the rate otherwise applicable to such Advance plus 2%. Without limiting the foregoing, if the Borrower shall default in the payment of any amount becoming due hereunder (other than the principal amount of any Advance), whether by scheduled maturity, notice of prepayment, acceleration or otherwise, the Borrower shall on demand from time to time from the Administrative Agent pay interest, to the extent permitted by law, on such defaulted amount up to (but not including) the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) at a rate per annum (computed as provided in Section 2.07(c)) equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Advances plus 2%.

Section 2.09. Alternate Rate of Interest.

In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing the Administrative Agent shall have determined (i) that dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Eurodollar Advances comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market or (ii) that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give telecopy notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination under clause (i) or (ii) above, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (x) any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Borrowing and (y) each Eurodollar Advance then outstanding will automatically, on the last day of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance. In the event the Majority Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the rates at which dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining Eurodollar Advances during any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of such notice and until the Majority Lenders shall have advised the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Borrowing and (B) each Eurodollar Advance then outstanding will automatically, on the last day of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance. Each determination by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be made in good faith and shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the Administrative Agent shall, upon request, provide to the Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination.

Section 2.10. Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a) The Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Termination Date.

(b) Upon at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Commitments; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction of the Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000, (ii) no such termination or reduction shall be made that would reduce the aggregate Commitments to an amount (A) less than the Outstanding Credits on the date of such termination or reduction (after giving effect to Section 2.11(b)) or (B) less than $25,000,000, unless the result of such termination or reduction referred to in this clause (B) is to reduce the aggregate Commitments to $0 and (iii) the definition of “LC Committed Amount” set forth in Section 1.01 shall be deemed amended to reflect an LC Committed Amount equal to the aggregate Commitments following such reduction. The Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) and of each Lender’s portion of any such termination or reduction of the aggregate Commitments.

(c) Each reduction in the Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. Once terminated, a Commitment

may not be reinstated. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction of the Commitments, the fees payable on the Commitments under Section 2.05 so terminated or reduced accrued through the date of such termination or reduction.

Section 2.11. Prepayment.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon giving telecopy notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by telecopy) to the Administrative Agent: (i) before 10:00 A.M. three Business Days prior to prepayment, in the case of Eurodollar Advances, and (ii) before 10:00 A.M. one Business Day prior to prepayment, in the case of Base Rate Advances; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000.

(b) If at any time (i) the aggregate Outstanding Credits exceed the aggregate Commitments or (ii) the aggregate LC Outstandings exceed the LC Committed Amount, the Borrower shall pay or prepay so much of the Borrowings and/or deposit funds in the Cash Collateral Account in respect of undrawn Letters of Credit outstanding on such date, as applicable, as shall be necessary in order that the Outstanding Credits will not exceed the Commitments and the LC Outstandings will not exceed the LC Committed Amount.

(c) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing (or portion thereof) by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein. All prepayments under this Section 2.11 shall be subject to Section 9.05(b) but otherwise without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this Section 2.11 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of payment.

Section 2.12. Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if after the Original Agreement Date the enactment of any new law or regulation, or any change in applicable existing law or regulation, or in the interpretation or administration of the foregoing by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law), including, without limitation, all requests, rules, guidelines or directives in connection with the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender hereunder (except for changes in respect of (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (iii) Connection Income Taxes), or shall result in the imposition, modification or applicability of any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender, or shall result in the imposition on any Lender or the London interbank market of any other condition affecting this Agreement, such Lender’s Commitment or any Extension of Credit made by such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Extension of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum

received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed in good faith by such Lender to be material, then the Borrower shall, upon receipt of the notice and certificate provided for in Section 2.12(c), promptly pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption after the Original Agreement Date of any law, rule, regulation or guideline promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States financial regulatory authorities or the adoption after the Original Agreement Date of any other law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any of the foregoing or in the interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any lending office of such Lender) or any Lender’s holding company 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 the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, such Lender’s Commitment or the Extensions of Credit made by such Lender pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed in good faith by such Lender to be material, then from time to time such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for any such reduction suffered will be paid by the Borrower to such Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.12(b) shall apply to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy issued in connection with the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy.

(c) A certificate of each Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company as specified in subsection (a) or (b) above, as the case may be, and containing an explanation in reasonable detail of the manner in which such amount or amounts shall have been determined, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay each Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same. Each Lender shall give prompt notice to the Borrower of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the Original Agreement Date, that it has determined will require compensation by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.12. If any such law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition described in this Section 2.12 shall later be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or inapplicable to the Borrower or such Lender, such Lender shall promptly refund to the Borrower any amounts previously paid by the Borrower to such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12.

(d) Failure on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand compensation with

respect to such period or any other period; provided that such Lender shall not be entitled to demand compensation hereunder if such demand is made more than 90 days following the later of such Lender’s incurrence or sufferance thereof and such Lender’s actual knowledge of the event giving rise to such Lender’s rights under this Section. The protection of this Section shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition that shall have occurred or been imposed.

(e) Each Lender agrees that it will designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender.

Section 2.13. Change in Legality.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the introduction of, or any change in, any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Advance or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Advance, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, such Lender may:

(i) declare that Eurodollar Advances will not thereafter be made by such Lender hereunder, whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for a Base Rate Advance unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn (any Lender delivering such a declaration hereby agreeing to withdraw such declaration promptly upon determining that such event of illegality no longer exists); and

(ii) require that all outstanding Eurodollar Advances made by it be Converted to Base Rate Advances, in which event all such Eurodollar Advances shall be automatically Converted to Base Rate Advances as of the effective date of such notice as provided in subsection (b) below.

Prior to any Lender giving notice to the Borrower under this Section 2.13, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office, if such change would avoid such event of illegality and would not, in the sole reasonable determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Advances that would have been made by such Lender or the Converted Eurodollar Advances of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the Base Rate Advances made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the Conversion of, such Eurodollar Advances.

(b) For purposes of this Section 2.13, a notice by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Advance, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Eurodollar Advance; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt.

Section 2.14. Pro Rata Treatment.

Except as required under Section 2.07(e), 2.12, 2.13, 2.17 or 9.15, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Advances, each payment of facility fees and Letter of Credit Fees, each reduction of the Commitments and each Conversion of any Advance by the Borrower shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective Outstanding Credits of the Lenders); provided further, that the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender). For purposes of determining the available or used Commitments at any time, the LC Outstandings shall be deemed to have utilized the Commitments of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with an extension of the Termination Date described in the last proviso in the first sentence of Section 9.08(b), this Agreement may provide for an increase in or otherwise different fees, margins and other amounts payable to the extending Lenders relative to the amounts payable to Lenders that do not consent to the extension.

Section 2.15. Sharing of Setoffs.

Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Extension of Credit, in any case as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Extensions of Credit shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Extensions of Credit of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Extensions of Credit of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Extensions of Credit and participations in the Extensions of Credit held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Extensions of Credit then outstanding as the principal amount of its Extensions of Credit prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Extensions of Credit outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that, (i) if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.15 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest and (ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (y) the application of cash collateral provided for in Section 7.02, or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as

consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Commitment, including pursuant to Section 2.18. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in an Extension of Credit deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made an Extension of Credit in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.16. Payments.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing, any fees, any reimbursements in respect of Letters of Credit that have been paid by any Lender or other amounts) hereunder without setoff, counterclaim, defense, recoupment or other deduction from an account in the United States not later than 12:00 noon on the date when due in dollars to the Administrative Agent at its offices specified in Section 9.01, in immediately available funds.

(b) Whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing, any fees, any reimbursements in respect of Letters of Credit that have been paid by any Lender or other amounts) hereunder shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, if applicable.

Section 2.17. Taxes.

(a) For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Lender” includes any LC Bank and the Swingline Lender.

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

(c) The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or

paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection (e).

(f) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.17(g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,

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

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

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

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

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-2 or Exhibit K-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to 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 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 Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of the Amendment and Restatement Agreement.

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

(h) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed

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

(i) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

Section 2.18. Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances.

In the event that any Lender shall have delivered a notice or certificate pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.13, or the Borrower shall be required to make additional payments to any Lender under Section 2.09 or 2.17, or any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, or any Lender shall not consent to an amendment that requires the consent of such Lender and to which the Majority Lenders have consented, the Borrower shall have the right, at its own expense, upon notice to such Lender, to require such Lender to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04) all such Lender’s interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents including without limitation in all interests in outstanding Letters of Credit, to another Eligible Assignee identified by the Borrower and approved by the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each LC Bank to the extent required for assignments under Section 9.04(b), which financial institution shall assume such obligations of such Lender for consideration equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Lender’s Advances, and if satisfactory arrangements are made for the payment to such Lender of interest and fees accrued hereunder to the date of such transfer and all other amounts payable hereunder to such Lender on or prior to the date of such transfer, including, without limitation, amounts payable under Section 9.05(b); provided that (i) no such assignment shall conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any Governmental Authority, (ii) the assignee or the Borrower, as the case may be, shall pay to the assignor in immediately available funds on or prior to the date of such assignment the principal of and interest accrued to the date of payment on the Extensions of Credit made by such assignor hereunder and all other amounts accrued for its account or owed to it hereunder and (iii), if the assignee is not a Lender prior to such assignment, the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent an administrative fee of $3,500 on or prior to the date of such assignment.

(vi) promptly upon becoming aware of the institution of any steps by Exelon or any other Person to terminate any Plan, or the failure to make a required contribution to any Plan if such failure is sufficient to give rise to a lien under Section 430(k) of the Code, or the taking of any action with respect to a Plan which could result in the requirement that the Borrower or Exelon furnish a bond or other security to the PBGC or such Plan, or the occurrence of any event with respect to any Plan which could result in the incurrence by the Borrower, Exelon or any other member of the Controlled Group of any material liability, fine or penalty, notice thereof and a statement of an authorized officer of Exelon as to the action the Borrower, Exelon or such member of the Controlled Group proposes to take with respect thereto;

Each Loan Party may provide information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 5.01(b) and all other notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any communication that (i) relates to a request for an Extension of Credit, (ii) relates to the payment of any amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor or any reduction of the Commitments, (iii) provides notice of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default, or (iv) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to any Extension of Credit hereunder (any non-excluded communication described above, a “Communication”), electronically (including by posting such documents, or providing a link thereto, on Exelon’s Internet website). Any document readily available on-line through the “Electronic Date Gathering Analysis and Retrieval” system (or any successor system thereof) maintained by the Securities and Exchange Commission (or any succeeding Governmental Authority), shall be deemed to have been furnished to the Administrative Agent for purposes of this Section 5.01(b) when the Borrower sends to the Administrative Agent notice

(which may be by electronic mail) that such documents are so available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Loan Party agrees that, to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, it will continue to provide “hard copies” of Communications to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable.

Each Loan Party further agrees that the Administrative Agent may make Communications available to the Lenders by posting such Communications on Intralinks or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT DOES NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY COMMUNICATION OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN ANY COMMUNICATION. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH ANY COMMUNICATION OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF SUCH LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH DAMAGES ARE FOUND IN A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF THE PLATFORM OR THE BORROWER’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET.

Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that a Communication has been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such Communication to such Lender for purposes of this Agreement. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time of the e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent and (ii) that such notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

(c) Control of Purchased Bonds. So long as any Bond Letter of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower shall remain outstanding, cause each Bond purchased with the proceeds of such Bond Letter of Credit to be subject to the Lien of an applicable Pledge Agreement or otherwise registered in the name of the applicable LC Bank, the Administrative Agent or any nominee of such LC Bank or of the Administrative Agent pending the remarketing of such Bonds pursuant to the applicable Remarketing Agreement and the other applicable Related Documents; provided that such LC Bank and the Administrative Agent agree that in the event such Bonds are remarketed, such Bonds or certificates of indebtedness shall be released and delivered to the Trustee.

(d) any defense based upon an election of remedies by any Credit Party, unless the same would excuse performance by the Borrower under the Credit Documents; and

Section 6.06. Limitation of Guaranty.

Any term or provision of this Guaranty or any other Credit Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount for which Exelon shall be liable hereunder shall not exceed the maximum amount for which Exelon can be liable without rendering this Guaranty subject to avoidance under applicable requirements of law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer (including the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act and Section 548 of title 11 of the United States Code or any applicable provisions of comparable requirements of law).

If any drawings then outstanding or thereafter made are not reimbursed in full immediately upon demand or, in the case of subsequent drawings, upon being made, then, in any

such event, the Administrative Agent may, and, upon the Borrower’s request, shall, apply the amounts then on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account, in such priority as the Administrative Agent shall elect, toward the payment in full of any or all of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder as and when such obligations shall become due and payable.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 8.01. Appointment and Authority.

Each Lender and LC Bank hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Except as expressly set forth in Section 8.06, the provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the XX Xxxxx, and the Borrower and Exelon shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

Section 8.02. Rights as a Lender.

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Exelon, the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 8.03. Exculpatory Provisions.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Credit Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law; and

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.08 and 7.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Unmatured Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Unmatured Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by Exelon, the Borrower, a Lender or an LC Bank.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Unmatured Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

Section 8.04. Reliance by Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or

other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Advance, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an LC Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or LC Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or LC Bank prior to the making of such Advance or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Exelon or the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 8.05. Delegation of Duties.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

Section 8.06. Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the XX Xxxxx and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States that is acceptable to the Borrower as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders (and accepted by the Borrower) and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the XX Xxxxx, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each LC Bank directly, until such time as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent

shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Section 8.07. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

Each Lender and LC Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each of the Lenders and XX Xxxxx also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 8.08. No Other Duties, Etc.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) none of the Joint Lead Arrangers and Book Runners, Co-Syndication Agents or Co-Documentation Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an LC Bank hereunder, and (ii) none of the Joint Lead Arrangers and Book Runners, Co-Syndication Agents or Co-Documentation Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary duty to any Lender.

(including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Extensions of Credit at the time owing to it under such Commitment); provided, however, that (i) the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each LC Bank (in each case, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and, in the case of the Borrower, 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 five Business Days after having received notice of such proposed assignment) shall be required unless such assignment is pursuant to Section 9.04(h), (ii) the consent of the LC Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding), (iii) the consent of the Borrower is not required for any assignment by a Lender to its Affiliate, (iv) the consent of the Borrower is not required upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (v) the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of such Trade Date) shall be in a minimum amount of the lesser of the amount of such Lender’s then remaining Commitment and $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and Administrative Agent (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld), provided, however that in the case of an assignment (A) of the entire remaining amount of the Lender’s Commitment and the Outstanding Credits at the time owing to it or (B) to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned, (vi) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (vii) no such assignment shall be made to the Borrower, any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or to a natural person, and (viii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, and the assignor or assignee under each such assignment shall pay to the Administrative Agent an administrative fee of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such administrative fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the assignee shall acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Advances and funded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Advances in accordance with its Commitment Percentage, the amounts of which the Administrative Agent shall notify such assignee. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to Section 9.04(e), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, which effective date shall be at least five Business Days after the execution thereof unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent (the Borrower to be given reasonable notice of any shorter period), (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party to

this Agreement (but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12 and 9.05 afforded to such Lender prior to its assignment as well as to any fees accrued for its account hereunder and not yet paid)). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with provision (b)(viii) of this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (f) of this Section.

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignor and such assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received copies of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.03 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) 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 Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and the principal amount of Outstanding Credits (and stated interest) owing to, each Lender 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 Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the processing and recordation fee referred to in subsection (b) above and, if required, the written consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent to such

assignment, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Assumption and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register.

(f) Each Lender may without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or entities (other than the Borrower, the Borrower’s Affiliates, the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, a Defaulting Lender or any natural person) in all or a portion of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Outstanding Credits owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties to this Agreement for the performance of such obligations, (iii) each participating bank or other entity shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 2.12 and 9.05 and of the tax provision contained in Section 2.17 to the same extent as if it were the selling Lender (and limited to the amount that could have been claimed by the selling Lender had it continued to hold the interest of such participating bank or other entity, unless the sale of the participation is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent), except that all claims made pursuant to such Sections shall be made through such selling Lender, (iv) if a participant would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender, such participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such participant and such participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.17(f) as though it were a Lender, and (v) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such selling Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers (x) decreasing any fees payable hereunder or the amount of principal of, or the rate at which interest is payable on, the Outstanding Credits, (y) extending any principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Outstanding Credits or (z) extending the Commitments). Such participations shall not create any “security” (as the word “security” is defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the Borrower. Each Lender 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 participating bank or other entity and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participating bank or other entity’s interest in the Outstanding Credits or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participating bank or other entity or any information relating to a participating bank or other entity ‘s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit 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 Lender 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.

(g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to any Loan Party furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of such Loan Party; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of any such information.

(h) Any Lender may at any time pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge shall release any Lender from its obligations hereunder or substitute any such Bank for such Lender as a party hereto. In order to facilitate such an assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank, the Borrower shall, at the request of the assigning Lender, duly execute and deliver to the assigning Lender a promissory note or notes evidencing the Advances made to the Borrower by the assigning Lender hereunder.

Section 9.05. Expenses; Indemnity.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one outside counsel for the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (and, to the extent necessary, one additional local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction), in connection with entering into this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby contemplated are consummated), and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel, incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, any LC Bank or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with the Credit Documents or in connection with the Extensions of Credit made hereunder.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender against any actual loss, calculated in accordance with the next sentence that such Lender may incur as a consequence of (i) any failure by the Borrower to borrow or to Convert any Eurodollar Advance hereunder (including as a result of the Borrower’s failure to fulfill any of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III) after irrevocable notice of such borrowing or Conversion has been given pursuant to Section 2.03, (ii) any payment or prepayment of a Eurodollar Advance by the Borrower made or deemed made on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, including as a result of an Event of Default, (iii) any default in payment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Eurodollar Advance or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the due date thereof, whether by scheduled maturity or otherwise), or (iv) any assignment of a Eurodollar Advance made at the request of the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18 on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, including, in each such case, any loss or reasonable expense incurred or to be incurred by such Lender in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, or with respect to commitments made or obligations undertaken with third parties, to effect or maintain any Advance hereunder or any part thereof as a Eurodollar Advance. Such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining the funds for the Advance being paid, prepaid, not borrowed or Converted or assigned (assumed to be the Eurodollar Rate applicable

thereto) for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, failure to borrow or Convert or assignment to the last day of the Interest Period for such Extension of Credit (or, in the case of a failure to borrow or Convert the Interest Period for such Extension of Credit that would have commenced on the date of such failure) over (ii) the amount of interest at the Eurodollar Rate for the relevant remaining interest period (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would be realized by such Lender in re-employing the funds so paid, prepaid, not borrowed or Converted or assigned for such period or Interest Period, as the case may be, but excluding any anticipated profit. This Section 9.05(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, the XX Xxxxx, each Lender, each of their Affiliates (including, in the case of Bank of America, Banc of America Securities LLC) and the directors, officers, employees, advisors, attorneys-in-fact and agents of the foregoing (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all actual losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and expenses, incurred by any Indemnitee arising out of (i) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Extensions of Credit, (iii) any documentary taxes, assessments or charges made by any Governmental Authority by reason of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, (iv) the utilization, storage, disposal, treatment, generation, transportation, release or ownership of any Hazardous Substance (A) at, upon, or under any property of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or (B) by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates at any time and in any place, or (v) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, including any of the foregoing arising from the negligence, whether sole or concurrent, on the part of any Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee; provided, further, that the Borrower agrees that it will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary to, without the prior written consent of each Indemnitee named in such settlement as set forth below (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification could be sought under the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.05(c) (whether or not any Indemnitee is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding), if such settlement, compromise or consent includes any statement as to an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnitee or involves any payment of money or other value by any Indemnitee or any injunctive relief or factual findings or stipulations binding on any Indemnitee.

(d) The provisions of this Section shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the termination of the Commitments, the repayment of any of the Outstanding Credits, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable on written demand therefor.

(e) Ten Business Days prior to the date on which any amount or amounts due under this Section are payable in accordance with a demand from a Lender or the Administrative Agent for such amount or amounts, such Lender or the Administrative Agent will cause to be delivered to the Borrower a certificate, which shall be conclusive absent manifest error, setting forth any amount or amounts that such person is entitled to receive pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section and containing an explanation in reasonable detail of the manner in which such amount or amounts shall have been determined.

(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, none of the parties hereto shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee or any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to actual or direct damages) arising out of, in connection with or as a result of, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the transactions contemplated herein or therein, any Extension of Credit or the use of proceeds thereof.

(a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of

any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by subsection (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) No provision of this Agreement may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower, Exelon and the Majority Lenders (but only when notice thereof is delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 9.01) or the Administrative Agent with the consent or at the direction of the Majority Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Outstanding Credit, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Outstanding Credit (other than pursuant to an amendment to or waiver of Section 2.08), without the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (ii) increase the Commitment of any Lender, decrease the fees owing to any Lender (except pursuant to Section 9.14) or postpone the payment of any fee owing to any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) amend, waive or modify the provisions of Section 2.14, Section 2.15 or Section 9.04(h), the provisions of this Section or the definition of the “Majority Lenders”, without the prior written consent of each Lender, (iv) release or permit the transfer of the obligations of any Loan Party hereunder (including Exelon’s obligations under Article VI) without the prior written consent of each Lender, except as permitted by Section 5.02(b) or (v) change the definition of LC Committed Amount without the prior written consent of the applicable LC Bank (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided further, however, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the LC Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the LC Bank, as the case may be, provided, further that this Agreement may be amended and restated without the consent of any Lender, any LC Bank, or the Administrative Agent if, upon giving effect to such amendment and restatement, such Lender, LC Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall no longer be a party to this Agreement (as so amended and restated) or have any Commitment or other obligation hereunder and shall have been paid in full all amounts payable hereunder to such Lender, such LC Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be; provided, further, that (i) the Termination Date with respect to any Lender’s Commitment may be extended with only the consent of the Lenders agreeing to such extension with respect to such Lender’s Commitment, and (ii) any amendment to this Agreement to effectuate such extension, including the creation of separate tranches of Commitments with extended Termination Dates with different pricing and other terms, may be made with the consent of the Majority Lenders. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section shall bind any assignee of its rights and interests hereunder.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any

amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

Section 9.09. ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING THE SCHEDULES AND EXHIBITS HERETO), THE NOTES, THE LETTERS OF CREDIT AND THE FEE LETTER (COLLECTIVELY, THE “AGREEMENT DOCUMENTS”) REPRESENT THE ENTIRE CONTRACT AMONG THE PARTIES RELATIVE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF. ANY PREVIOUS AGREEMENT, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, AMONG THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR THEREOF IS SUPERSEDED BY THE AGREEMENT DOCUMENTS. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR THE FEE LETTERS, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, IS INTENDED TO CONFER UPON ANY PARTY OTHER THAN THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO ANY RIGHTS, REMEDIES, OBLIGATIONS OR LIABILITIES UNDER OR BY REASON OF THE AGREEMENT DOCUMENTS.

Section 9.10. Severability.

In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.10, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, any LC Bank or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

Section 9.11. Execution in Counterparts; Integration.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject mater hereof.

Section 9.12. Headings.

Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Section 9.13. Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) Each Loan Party, the Administrative Agent, each LC Bank, the Swingline Lender and each Lender hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any Federal court, to the extent permitted by law, of the United States of America sitting in the borough of Manhattan in New York City or, if such Federal court is not available due to lack of jurisdiction, any New York State court sitting in the borough of Manhattan in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Federal Court, to the extent permitted by law, or in such New York State court. Each Loan Party, the Administrative Agent, each LC Bank, the Swingline Lender and each Lender each agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Subject to the foregoing and to subsection (b) below, nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party thereto may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against any other party thereto in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Each Loan Party, the Administrative Agent, each LC Bank, the Swingline Lender and each Lender each hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or thereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any New York State or Federal court. Each Loan Party, the Administrative Agent, each LC Bank, the Swingline Lender and each Lender each hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c) EACH LOAN PARTY, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE SWINGLINE LENDER, EACH LENDER AND EACH LC BANK EACH HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED ON THIS AGREEMENT, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF ANY LOAN PARTY. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS, THE XX XXXXX AND THE LOAN PARTIES ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 9.14. Confidentiality; USA PATRIOT Act.

(a) The Administrative Agent, each LC Bank, the Swingline Lender and each Lender shall hold in confidence all non-public, confidential or proprietary information, memoranda, or extracts (collectively, “Information”) furnished to the Administrative Agent, such LC Bank, the Swingline Lender and such Lender (directly or through the Administrative Agent) by each Loan Party under this Agreement or in connection with the negotiation thereof; provided that the Administrative Agent, such LC Bank, the Swingline Lender and such Lender may disclose any such Information (i) (A) to its directors, officers, employees, agents, auditors, attorneys, consultants and advisors and, (B) to the extent necessary for the administration of this Agreement, to its Affiliates and the directors, officers and employees of its Affiliates, (ii) to any regulatory or supervisory authority having authority to examine the Administrative Agent, such LC Bank, the Swingline Lender, such Lender or such Lender’s Affiliates, (iii) as required by any legal or governmental process or otherwise by law (with such Lender providing details, to the extent permitted by law, to such Loan Party of the Information disclosed pursuant to this clause (iii)), (iv) to any Person to which the Administrative Agent, such LC Bank, the Swingline Lender or such Lender sells or proposes to sell an assignment or a participation in its Outstanding Credits hereunder, if such other Person agrees for the benefit of such Loan Party to comply with the provisions of this Section and (v) to the extent that such Information shall be publicly available or shall have become known to the Administrative Agent, such LC Bank, the Swingline Lender or such Lender independently of any disclosure by such Loan Party under this Agreement or in connection with the negotiation thereof. The Administrative Agent, any LC Bank, the Swingline Lender and any Lender disclosing Information pursuant to clause (i) or (iv) of this Section 9.13 will take reasonable steps to ensure that the persons receiving such Information pursuant to such Sections will hold the same in confidence in accordance with this Section 9.13. To the extent possible, the Administrative Agent, any LC Bank, the Swingline Lender and any Lender disclosing Information pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this Section 9.13 will take reasonable steps to ensure that the persons receiving such Information pursuant to such Sections will hold the same in confidence in accordance with this Section 9.13.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may disclose the provisions of this Agreement and the amounts, maturities and interest rates of its Outstanding Credits to any purchaser or potential purchaser of such Lender’s interest in any Outstanding Credits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each party hereto shall not be limited from disclosing the US tax treatment or US tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Loan Party that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Act. Each Loan Party shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (made through the Administrative Agent), provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender (made through the Administrative Agent) reasonably requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act.

Section 9.15. Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 9.08(c).

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.06), 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 that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the XX Xxxxx or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the XX Xxxxx or Swingline Lender, to be held in the Cash Collateral Account, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 7.02, for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swingline Advance or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in the Cash Collateral Account, and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Advances under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the XX Xxxxx or Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any LC Bank or Swingline Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advance or Unreimbursed LC Disbursement in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Advance or Unreimbursed LC Disbursement was made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of, and Unreimbursed LC Disbursements owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of, or Unreimbursed LC Disbursements owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral

pursuant to this Section 9.14(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Facility Fee in respect of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitments not utilized by Advances or any Letter of Credit Fee pursuant to Section 2.05 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Advances pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.04, the Commitment Percentage of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Advances shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the sum of the Outstanding Credits, Swingline Outstandings and LC Outstandings of that Lender.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the XX Xxxxx agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Advances to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Commitment Percentages (without giving effect to Section 9.14(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 9.16. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document), each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the

Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between such Loan Party and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) such Loan Party has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) such Loan Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Credit Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent, each Arranger and each Lender each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for such Loan Party or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger or Lender has any obligation to such Loan Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of such Loan Party and its Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger or Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to such Loan Party or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Loan Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

Section 9.17. Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents.

The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
