Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that (i) Crédit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank become a Lender (as defined in the Credit Agreement) under the Credit Agreement and provide a Revolving Commitment in an aggregate principal amount as set forth opposite its name on Exhibit B hereto (the “New Revolving Lender”) and (ii) certain of the Existing Lenders party hereto increase the aggregate principal amount of their Revolving Commitments in the amounts opposite their respective names on Exhibit A hereto (the “Affected Revolving Lenders”);

WHEREAS, the New Revolving Lender has agreed (on a several and not joint basis), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, to provide a Revolving Commitment in the amount set forth opposite its name on Exhibit B hereto (the “New Revolving Lender Commitment”);

WHEREAS, each Affected Revolving Lender has agreed (on a several and not joint basis), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, to increase its Revolving Commitment in the amount set forth opposite such Affected Revolving Lender’s name on Exhibit A hereto (the “Increased Existing Revolving Lender Commitments” and, together with the New Revolving Lender Commitments, the “New Revolving Commitments”);

WHEREAS, after giving effect to this Amendment, the Revolving Commitments of each Existing Lender and the New Revolving Lender (collectively, the “Lenders”) shall be as set forth on Exhibit C hereto;

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9.1(a) of the Credit Agreement, (i) an Existing Lender may increase the aggregate principal amount of its Revolving Commitment under the Credit Agreement with the prior written consent of such Existing Lender and (ii) the Required

Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Banks and the Borrower may make certain other amendments to the Credit Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Existing Lenders party hereto constituting at least the Required Lenders (the “Amendment No. 2 Required Lenders”), the Administrative Agent and the Fronting Banks, hereby consent to the amendments set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged), the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

The Credit Agreement is, effective as of the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, hereby amended to:

(a)    remove Schedule 1.1A (Revolving Commitment Amounts) and replace it in its entirety by new Schedule 1.1A attached hereto as Exhibit C;

(b)    add the following definition in alphabetical order to Section 1.1 (Defined Terms):

“Amendment No. 2 Effective Date”: means July 30, 2014.

(c)    remove the definition of “Total Revolving Commitments” and replace it in its entirety with the below:

“Total Revolving Commitments”: at any time, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments then in effect. The Total Revolving Commitments on the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date are $1,500,000,000.

Section 2.    Consent to Amendments. Pursuant to Section 9.1(a) of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Banks, the Borrower and each Required Amendment No. 2 Lender hereby consent to this Amendment, including, without limitation, the New Revolving Commitments, the amendments set forth in Section 1 hereof and the New Revolving Lender becoming a “Lender” under the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.

Section 4.    Reallocation. On the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, the Borrower shall, in coordination with the Administrative Agent, repay outstanding Revolving Loans of the Existing Lenders that are not Affected Revolving Lenders, and incur additional Revolving Loans from the Affected Revolving Lenders and the New Revolving Lender to the extent necessary so that all of the Lenders participate in each outstanding Borrowing of Revolving Loans pro rata on the basis of their respective Revolving Commitments (after giving effect to any increase in the Total Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Amendment).
