[EXHIBIT H TO CREDIT AGREEMENT]

Form of Subordination Provisions¹

Section 1. Subordination (a) General. Each holder of Subordinated Debt (each, a “Holder”) agrees that any payment of principal of or interest in respect of the Subordinated Debt (“Subordinated Debt Payment”) is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Section 1, to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Debt, whether outstanding on the date of this Agreement or incurred thereafter, and that the subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by the holders of such Senior Debt.

(b) Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy. Upon any distribution to creditors of Borrower in a liquidation or dissolution of Borrower or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to Borrower or its property, an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshaling of Borrower’s assets and liabilities, the holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of Senior Debt before the Holders will be entitled to receive any Subordinated Debt Payments, and until all Senior Debt is paid in full in cash, any distribution to which the Holders would be entitled but for these subordination provisions shall be made to the holders of Senior Debt.

(c) Default On Designated Senior Debt. Borrower shall not make any Subordinated Debt Payments if (i) a default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Designated Senior Debt occurs and is continuing beyond any applicable period of grace in the indenture, agreement or other document governing the Designated Senior Debt (a “payment default”) or (ii) any other default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Designated Senior Debt that permits holders thereunder as to which such default relates to accelerate its maturity without further notice (except such notice as may be required to effect such acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace periods (a “nonpayment default”). The restriction on payments of Subordinated Debt Payments shall cease to apply (a) in the case of a payment default, upon the date on which such default is cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist or such Designated Senior Debt shall have been discharged or paid in full in cash and (b) in case of a nonpayment default, the date on which such nonpayment default is cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist.

(d) When Subordinated Debt Payment Must Be Paid Over. If a Subordinated Debt Payment is made to Holders that because of this Section 1 should not have been made to them, the Holders who receive the Subordinated Debt Payment shall hold it in trust for holders of Senior Debt and pay it over to them as their interests may appear.

A-1

(e) Reliance by Holders of Senior Debt on Subordination Provisions. Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Debt, whether such Senior Debt was created or acquired before or after the date hereof, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Debt and such holder of such Senior Debt shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Debt. The holders of Senior Debt may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Holders, without incurring any liability or responsibility to the Holders, and without impairing the rights of holders of Senior Debt under these subordination provisions, do any of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Debt or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Debt is outstanding or secured; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Debt; (iii) release any person liable in any manner for the payment of Senior Debt; or (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against Borrower and any other person.

“Debt Securities” means all obligations of the Borrower in respect of the debt securities issued pursuant to that certain Indenture, dated as of August 24, 1994 between the Borrower and Harris Trust Company of California, as trustee, as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.

“Designated Senior Debt” means all obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement (including without limitation all payments of interest of and principal on the loans) dated as of May 25, 2011 among the Borrower, the lenders party thereto from time to time and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, as the same may be amended, modified or refinanced from time to time.

“Senior Debt” means any Debt incurred by the Borrower in the form of one or more series of debentures, notes, loans or other similar evidences of indebtedness which is intended to be senior in right of payment in respect of the Subordinated Debt and which is expressly designated in writing as “Senior Debt”, including without limitation the Designated Senior Debt, the Unsubordinated Debt and the Debt Securities.

“Unsubordinated Debt” means all obligations of the Borrower in respect of the unsubordinated debt securities issued pursuant to that certain Indenture, dated as of June 8, 2011 between the Borrower and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.
