2.1 RFC Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, RFC may, in its sole discretion, make loans to the Company from time to time during the Facility Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which does not exceed the RFC Facility Amount. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Banks shall make loans pursuant to a Section 2.1(c) Election; provided, that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate sum of RFC Loans made by the Banks pursuant to Section 2.1(c) Elections would not exceed the Facility Amount less the RFC Facility Amount as reduced pursuant to subsection 2.4(d); provided, further, that, after giving effect thereto, the sum of the outstanding principal amount of CP Rate Loans made by RFC and any RFC Loans purchased by the Banks under the Liquidity Agreement shall not exceed the RFC Facility Amount. Notwithstanding anything herein, the aggregate principal amount of outstanding RFC Loans shall not exceed the Facility Amount. During the Facility Period the Company may use the Facility Amount by borrowing, prepaying the RFC Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The RFC Loans held by RFC will be CP Rate Loans. RFC Loans purchased from RFC by the Banks pursuant to the Liquidity Agreement, may be (i) Eurodollar Loans, (ii) Alternate Base Rate Loans or (iii) a combination thereof, as determined by the Company and notified to

the Agent in accordance with subsection 2.6. Eurodollar Loans shall be maintained by each Bank at its Eurodollar Lending Office, and Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be maintained by each Bank at its Domestic Lending Office. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a commitment by RFC to make RFC Loans to the Company.

(b) The Company may request a borrowing from RFC hereunder during the Facility Period on any Business Day other than an Excluded Day; provided that the Company shall give RFC and the Agent irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by RFC prior to 3:00 P.M., New York City time one Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date) specifying (A) the amount to be borrowed and (B) the requested Borrowing Date (which shall not be an Excluded Day); provided, that if such notice is not received prior to such deadline, RFC will use its best efforts given prevailing market conditions to fund the CP Rate Loan on the requested Borrowing Date; provided, further, that at no time shall the sum of any requested borrowing or borrowings pursuant to this subsection 2.1(b) and subsection 2.1(c) exceed the Available Facility Amount. Each borrowing hereunder shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. RFC shall notify the Company and the Agent by 11:30 A.M., New York City time, on the requested Borrowing Date if it does not intend to make the requested RFC Loan. If RFC decides to make the requested RFC Loan, RFC will make the amount thereof available to the Agent for the account of the Company at the office of the Agent set forth in subsection 9.2 prior to the close of business, New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Company in funds immediately available to the Agent. The proceeds of such RFC Loan will then be promptly made available to the Company by the Agent at such office of the Agent by crediting the account of the Company on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Agent by RFC.

(c) The Company may elect to make a borrowing (such election, a “Section 2.1(c) Election”) from the Banks hereunder during the Facility Period on any Working Day if the borrowing is of Eurodollar Loans or on any Business Day if the borrowing is of Alternate Base Rate Loans; provided that the Company shall give the Agent irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Agent (i) prior to 11:30 A.M., New York City time three Working Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and (ii) prior to 12:00 P.M., New York City time, on the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans), specifying (A) the amount to be borrowed, (B) the requested Borrowing Date, (C) whether such Loans are to be Eurodollar Loans, Alternate Base Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, and (D) if the borrowing is to be entirely or partly of Eurodollar Loans, the length of the Interest Period therefor; provided, further, that at no time shall the sum of any requested borrowing or borrowings pursuant to subsection 2.1(b) and this subsection 2.1(c) exceed the Available Facility Amount. Each borrowing hereunder shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Upon receipt of such notice from the Company, the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank thereof. Each Bank will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing pursuant to a Section 2.1(c) Election available to the Agent for the account of the Company at the office of the Agent set forth in subsection 9.2 prior to the close of business, New York City time, on such date in funds immediately available to the Agent. The proceeds of such RFC Loan will then be promptly made available to the Company by the Agent at such office of the Agent by crediting the account

of the Company on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Agent by Banks.

2.2 Repayment of RFC Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Company hereby unconditionally promises to pay to RFC or the Agent for the account of the Banks, as the case may be, the then unpaid principal amount of each RFC Loan, except CP Rate Loans, on the Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the RFC Loans become due and payable pursuant hereto). The Company hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the RFC Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in subsection 2.7. The unpaid principal amount of each CP Rate Loan will be due and payable on the applicable Settlement Dates and the Termination Date.

(b) Each of RFC and each Bank shall maintain for its own account in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Company to RFC or such Bank, as the case may be, resulting from each RFC Loan from time to time held by it, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to RFC or to such Bank from time to time under this Agreement.

(c) The Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to subsection 9.6(d), and a subaccount therein for RFC and each Bank, in which shall be recorded (i) (A) the amount of each RFC Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and each Interest Period, if applicable, thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Company to RFC and to each Bank hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder from the Company and RFC’s and each Bank’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of RFC maintained pursuant to subsection 2.2(b) and (c) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be primafacie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Company therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of RFC, any Bank or the Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Company to repay (with applicable interest) the RFC Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) The Company agrees that, upon the request to the Agent by any Bank that holds any RFC Loans after the Facility Period has expired, the Company will execute and deliver to such Bank a promissory note of the Company evidencing such loans substantially in the form of Exhibit A with appropriate insertions as to payee, date and principal amount (a “Note”).

2.3 Fees. (a) If a Wind-Down Event occurs after the Cross-Over Funding Date, the Company shall pay to the Agent, for the account of the Banks, a supplemental fee calculated as set forth below; provided that such fee shall not be payable if the Company has terminated this Agreement and repaid all outstanding RFC Loans and all other amounts owing hereunder prior to the occurrence of such Wind-Down Event. The supplemental fee is the sum, for each day from the Cross-Over Funding Date to but excluding the date on which such Wind-Down Event occurs, of an amount equal to the product of the outstanding face amount of commercial paper allocable by the CP Issuer to the funding of the RFC Loans on such day and

the margin applicable to Eurodollar Loans hereunder on such day divided by 360. “Cross-Over Funding Date” is the first day on or after the Closing Date on which the Company’s long-term unsecured indebtedness is rated less than BBB- by S&P or less than Baa3 by Moody’s. Such fee shall be payable on the fifth Business Day following the date of such Wind-Down Event.

(b) The Company agrees to pay to the Agent the other fees in the amounts, and on the dates, agreed to by the Company and the Agent in the Program Fee Letter. The Agent will distribute to the Banks their respective portions of upfront fees paid by the Company to the Agent, as agreed between the Agent and each Bank.

2.4 Termination or Changes to Facility Amount or RFC Facility Amount.

(a) The Company shall have the right, upon not less than five Business Days’ notice to the Agent and to RFC, from time to time, to reduce by an equal amount each of the Facility Amount and the RFC Facility Amount, provided that no such reduction shall be effective if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the RFC Loans made on the effective date thereof (including by way of converting such RFC Loans to Loans under the 364-Day Facility), the then outstanding principal amount of the CP Rate Loans and the outstanding principal amount of any RFC Loans purchased by the Banks under the Liquidity Agreement would exceed the RFC Facility Amount or the outstanding principal amount of the RFC Loans would exceed the Facility Amount. Any such reduction shall be in an amount of $10,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and shall reduce permanently the amount of the Facility Amount and the RFC Facility Amount.

(b) The Facility Amount shall be reduced to zero automatically on the date specified in subsection 2.5(b).

(c) This Agreement shall terminate on the date on which the Facility Amount has been reduced to zero and all amounts owing hereunder to RFC, the Banks and the Agent have been paid in full.

(d) The RFC Facility Amount shall be decreased by RFC Loans made by the Banks pursuant to a Section 2.1(c) Election and increased by the repayment of any such loans, in each case, upon written notice from the Administrative Agent to RFC (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to RFC upon such event); provided, that no such reduction shall be effective if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the RFC Loans made on the effective date thereof (including by way of converting such RFC Loans to Loans under the 364-Day Facility), the then outstanding principal amount of the CP Rate Loans and the outstanding principal amount of any RFC Loans purchased by the Banks under the Liquidity Agreement would exceed the RFC Facility Amount or the outstanding principal amount of the RFC Loans would exceed the Facility Amount.

2.5 Prepayments.

(a) The Company may at any time and from time to time, prepay the RFC Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (subject to the provisions of subsection 2.15), upon at least three Business Days’ in the case of Eurodollar Loans, upon at least two Business Days’ in the case of CP Rate Loans and upon at least one Business Day in the case of

Alternate Base Rate Loans, irrevocable notice to the Agent and RFC specifying the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of CP Rate Loans, Eurodollar Loans or Alternate Base Rate Loans or a combination thereof, and if of a combination thereof, the amount of prepayment allocable to each. Upon receipt of such notice the Agent shall promptly notify RFC and, if applicable, each Bank thereof. If such notice is given, the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with accrued interest to such date and amounts that are owing under subsection 2.15, on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000, or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and may only be made if, after giving effect thereto, subsection 2.6(d) shall not have been contravened.

(b) The Company shall prepay all outstanding RFC Loans, together with all accrued interest thereon and any amounts due pursuant to subsection 2.15 on the date that is 30 days after the date on which a Wind-Down Event occurs.

(a) CP Rate Loans may not be converted into RFC Loans of another Type except in accordance with this subsection 2.6(a), it being understood that only RFC Loans acquired by the Banks under the Liquidity Agreement may be maintained as Eurodollar Loans or Alternate Base Rate Loans hereunder.

Any portion of such Purchase constituting Yield shall be due and payable to the Banks as accrued interest on the next Settlement Date applicable to the related CP Rate Loan purchased by such Bank and shall accrue interest from the date of such Purchase until paid in full at the rate applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans.

(b) The Company may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to Alternate Base Rate Loans by giving the Agent at least two Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election (given before 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the date on which such notice is required). The Company may elect from time to time to convert Alternate Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Agent at least three Working Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election (given before 11:30 A.M., New York City time, on the date on which such notice is required). Upon receipt of such notice, the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank thereof. Promptly following the date on which such conversion is being made each Bank shall take such action as is necessary to transfer its portion of such RFC Loans to its Domestic Lending Office or its Eurodollar Lending Office, as applicable. All or any part of outstanding Eurodollar Loans and Alternate Base Rate Loans may be converted as provided herein, provided that, unless the Required Banks otherwise agree, (i) no RFC Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) partial conversions shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof, and (iii) any such conversion may only be made if, after giving effect thereto, subsection 2.6(d) shall not have been contravened.

(c) Any Eurodollar Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by compliance by the Company with the notice provisions contained in subsection 2.6(b); provided that, unless the Required Banks otherwise agree, no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but shall be automatically converted to an Alternate Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto. The Agent shall notify the Banks promptly that such automatic conversion contemplated by this subsection 2.6(c) will occur.

(d) All borrowings, conversions, payments, prepayments and selection of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the RFC Loans comprising any Eurodollar Tranche shall not be less than $10,000,000. At no time shall there be more than 10 Eurodollar Tranches.

2.7 Interest Rate and Payment Dates for RFC Loans. (a) The Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Alternate Base Rate Loans shall bear interest for each day from and including the date thereof on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) CP Rate Loans shall bear interest for each Settlement Period relating thereto at the CP Rate applicable to such Settlement Period.

(d) If all or a portion of the (i) principal amount of any RFC Loans, (ii) any interest payable thereon or (iii) any fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is 2% above the Alternate Base Rate, and any overdue interest or other amount payable hereunder shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is 2% above the Alternate Base Rate, in each case from the date of such non-payment until paid in full (after as well as before judgment). If all or a portion of the principal amount of any RFC Loans shall not be paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), each Eurodollar Loan shall, unless the Required Banks otherwise agree, be converted to an Alternate Base Rate Loan at the end of the last Interest Period with respect thereto.

(e) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date.

2.8 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest in respect of Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a (i) 365-day (or 366-day, as the case may be) year for the actual days elapsed when such Alternate Base Rate Loans are based on the Prime Rate, and (ii) a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed when based on the Base CD Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate. All other interest and fees payable hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. The Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Company and the Banks of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a RFC Loan resulting from a change in the Alternate Base Rate or the

Applicable Margin or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change in the Alternate Base Rate is announced, such Applicable Margin changes as provided herein or such change in the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective, as the case may be. The Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Company and the Banks of the effective date and the amount of each such change.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or of the CP Rate by RFC shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and the Banks in the absence of manifest error. The Agent shall, at the request of the Company, deliver to the Company a statement showing the quotations used by the Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to subsection 2.7(a).

(c) If any Reference Bank’s Commitment shall terminate (otherwise than on termination of all the Commitments), or its RFC Loans shall be assigned for any reason whatsoever, such Reference Bank shall thereupon cease to be a Reference Bank, and if, as a result of the foregoing, there shall only be one Reference Bank remaining, then the Agent (after consultation with the Company and the Banks) shall, by notice to the Company and the Banks, designate another Bank as a Reference Bank so that there shall at all times be at least two Reference Banks.

(d) Each Reference Bank shall use its best efforts to furnish quotations of rates to the Agent as contemplated hereby. If any of the Reference Banks shall be unable or otherwise fails to supply such rates to the Agent upon its request, the rate of interest shall be determined on the basis of the quotations of the remaining Reference Banks or Reference Bank.

2.9 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. In the event that:

(i) the Agent shall have determined in its reasonable judgment (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market generally, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period;

(ii) only one of the Reference Banks is able to obtain bids for its Dollar deposits for such Interest Period in the manner contemplated by the term “Eurodollar Rate”; or

(iii) the Agent shall have received notice prior to the first day of such Interest Period from Banks constituting the Required Banks that the interest rate determined pursuant to subsection 2.7(a) for such Interest Period does not accurately reflect the cost to such Banks (as conclusively certified by such Banks) of making or maintaining their affected RFC Loans during such Interest Period;

with respect to (A) proposed RFC Loans that the Company has requested the Banks make as Eurodollar Loans, (B) Eurodollar Loans that will result from the requested conversion of Alternate Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans or (C) the continuation of Eurodollar Loans beyond the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Agent shall forthwith give facsimile or telephonic notice of such determination to the Company and the

Banks at least one day prior to, as the case may be, the requested Borrowing Date for such Eurodollar Loans, the conversion date of such Eurodollar Loans or the last day of such Interest Period. If such notice is given (x) any requested Eurodollar Loans shall be made as Alternate Base Rate Loans, (y) any Alternate Base Rate Loans that were to have been converted to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as Alternate Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, to Alternate Base Rate Loans. Until the Agent has withdrawn such notice, the Company shall not have the right to convert Alternate Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans. The Agent shall withdraw such notice upon its determination that the event or events which gave rise to such notice no longer exist.

2.10 Pro Rata Borrowings and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the Company of RFC Loans pursuant to subsection 2.1(c) shall be made ratably from the Banks in accordance with their Commitment Percentages.

(b) If the Company pays less than the amount of interest due hereunder on any date, the Agent shall distribute such interest to RFC and each Bank based on the ratio that the amount of such interest then due and owing to RFC or such Bank bears to the amount then due and owing to RFC and all Banks.

(c) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Company on account of principal of the RFC Loans shall be made first to the payment in full of RFC Loans held by RFC and then to the payment in full of RFC Loans held by the Banks, pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such RFC Loans then held by the Banks.

(d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Company on account of principal, interest and fees shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made to RFC or the Agent, for the account the Banks, as the case may be, at RFC’s or the Agent’s office set forth in subsection 9.2, as applicable, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds. The Agent shall distribute any such payments it receives to the Banks promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. Any amount received by RFC later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on a Business Day will be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day and such amount shall continue to accrue interest at the applicable rate until the next Business Day.

(e) Unless the Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Bank prior to a Borrowing Date that such Bank will not make the amount which would constitute its Commitment Percentage of the borrowing of RFC Loans pursuant to subsection 2.1(c) on such date available to the Agent, the Agent may assume that such Bank has made such amount available to the Agent on such Borrowing Date, and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Company a corresponding amount. If such amount is made available to the Agent on a date after such Borrowing Date, such Bank shall pay to the Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during such period as quoted by the Agent, times (ii) the amount of such Bank’s Commitment

Percentage of such borrowing, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from and including such Borrowing Date to the date on which such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of such borrowing shall have become immediately available to the Agent and the denominator of which is 360. A certificate of the Agent submitted to any Bank with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection 2.10(e) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such Bank’s Commitment Percentage of such borrowing is not in fact made available to the Agent by such Bank within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans hereunder, on demand, from the Company.

2.11 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if after the date hereof the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Bank to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the Bank shall, within 30 Working Days after it becomes aware of such fact, notify the Company, through the Agent, of such fact, (b) the commitment of such Bank hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans or to convert Alternate Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be cancelled and (c) such Bank’s RFC Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Alternate Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods for such RFC Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. Each Bank shall take such action as may be reasonably available to it without material legal or financial disadvantage (including changing its Eurodollar Lending Office) to prevent the adoption of or any change in any such Requirement of Law from becoming applicable to it.

2.12 Requirements of Law. (a) If after the date hereof the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) after the date hereof from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:

(i) shall subject any Bank to any tax of any kind whatsoever (other than a withholding tax) with respect to this Agreement, any Note, or any Eurodollar Loans held by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Bank of principal, facility fee, interest or any other amount payable hereunder in respect of RFC Loans (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Bank);

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Bank which are not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on such Bank any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank, by any amount which such Bank reasonably deems to be material, of making, renewing or maintaining advances or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, in each case, in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Company shall promptly pay such Bank, upon its demand,

any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Bank for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything contained in this subsection 2.12(a) to the contrary, such Bank shall not be entitled to receive any amounts pursuant to this subsection 2.12(a) that it is also entitled to pursuant to subsection 2.14(a). If a Bank becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection 2.12(a), it shall, within 30 Business Days after it becomes aware of such fact, notify the Company, through the Agent, of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by such Bank, through the Agent, to the Company shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Each Bank shall take such action as may be reasonably available to it without legal or financial disadvantage (including changing its Eurodollar Lending Office) to prevent any such Requirement of Law or change from becoming applicable to it. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the outstanding RFC Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b) In the event that after the date hereof a Bank is required to maintain reserves of the type contemplated by the definition of “Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements”, such Bank may require the Company to pay, promptly after receiving notice of the amount due, additional interest on the related Eurodollar Loan of such Bank at a rate per annum determined by such Bank up to but not exceeding the excess of (i) (A) the applicable Eurodollar Rate divided by (B) one minus the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements over (ii) the applicable Eurodollar Rate. Any Bank wishing to require payment of any such additional interest on account of any of its Eurodollar Loans shall notify the Company no more than 30 Working Days after each date on which interest is payable on such Eurodollar Loan of the amount then due it under this subsection 2.12(b), in which case such additional interest on such Eurodollar Loan shall be payable to such Bank at the place indicated in such notice. Each such notification shall be accompanied by such information as the Company may reasonably request.

2.13 Capital Adequacy. If any Bank shall have determined that after the date hereof the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Bank or any corporation controlling such Bank with any request or directive after the date hereof regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or Governmental Authority, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Bank’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or its obligations under the Liquidity Agreement to a level below that which such Bank or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Bank’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount which is reasonably deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, promptly after submission by such Bank, through the Agent, to the Company of a written request therefor (such request shall include details reasonably sufficient to establish the basis for such additional amounts payable and shall be submitted to the Company within 30 Working Days after it becomes aware of such fact), the Company shall promptly pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank for such reduction. The agreements in this subsection 2.13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the Liquidity Agreement and payment of the RFC Loans and the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.14 Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Company under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority excluding, in the case of the Agent, RFC (and its beneficial owners) and each Bank, net income and franchise taxes imposed on the Agent, RFC (or its beneficial owners) or such Bank by the jurisdiction under the laws of which the Agent, RFC (or its beneficial owners) or such Bank is organized or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or by any jurisdiction in which such Bank’s Domestic Lending Office or Eurodollar Lending Office, as the case may be, is located or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings being hereinafter called “Taxes”). If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Agent, RFC or any Bank hereunder or under the Notes, the amounts so payable to the Agent, RFC or such Bank shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Agent, RFC or such Bank (after payment of all Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement and the Notes. Whenever any Taxes are payable by the Company, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Company shall send to the Agent for its own account or for the account of RFC or such Bank, as the case may be, a certified copy of any original official receipt that is received by the Company showing payment thereof (or, if no official receipt is received by the Company, a statement of the Company indicating payment thereof). If the Company fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Company shall indemnify the Agent, RFC and the Banks for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Agent, RFC or any Bank as a result of any such failure, except to the extent such failure is attributable to a failure by a Non-U.S. Bank to comply with the form delivery and notice requirements of paragraph (b) below or a breach of the representations contained in paragraph (d) below.

(b) Each of the Agent, RFC and each Bank (or Transferee) that, is not a citizen or resident of the United States of America, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States of America (or any jurisdiction thereof), or any estate or trust that is subject to federal income taxation regardless of the source of its income (in each case, a “Non-U.S. Bank”) shall deliver to the Company and the Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Bank from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Bank claiming complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Company under this Agreement. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Bank on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S. Bank shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Bank. Each Non-U.S. Bank shall promptly notify the Company at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Company (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Bank shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Bank is not legally able to deliver, provided, however, that in the

event that the failure to be able to deliver such form is not attributable to a change in law, the Company shall be relieved of the obligation to make additional payments under subsection 2.14(a) above.

(c) The agreements in subsection 2.14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the RFC Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(d) RFC represents that it is solely owned by a domestic partnership within the meaning of Code Section 7701(a)(30)(B) as of the Closing Date, and that it will remain solely owned by a domestic partnership within the meaning of Code Section 7701(a)(30)(B) or a domestic corporation within the meaning of Code Section 7701(a)(30)(C).

2.15 Indemnity. The Company agrees to indemnify RFC and each Bank and to hold RFC and each Bank harmless from any loss or expense (other than any loss of anticipated margin or profit) which RFC or such Bank may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Company in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on CP Rate Loans by RFC or any Eurodollar Loans of such Bank, (b) default by the Company in making a borrowing or conversion after the Company has given a notice of borrowing in accordance with subsection 2.1(b) or a notice of continuation or conversion pursuant to subsection 2.6, (c) default by the Company in making any prepayment after the Company has given a notice in accordance with subsection 2.6 or (d) the making of (i) a prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect and/or (ii) a prepayment of principal of a CP Rate Loan in an amount that is excess of the principal amount of Allocated Commercial Paper that is maturing on such prepayment date (“CP Excess Amount”), including, without limitation, in respect of Eurodollar Loans, any such loss or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its Eurodollar Loans hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained and in respect of CP Rate Loans, CP Breakage Costs. Any Bank claiming any amount under this subsection 2.15 shall provide calculations, in reasonable detail, of the amount of its loss or expense. This covenant shall survive termination of this Agreement and payment of the outstanding RFC Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.16 Application of Proceeds of RFC Loans. Subject to the provisions of the following sentence, the Company may use the proceeds of the RFC Loans for any lawful general corporate purpose, including acquisitions. The Company will not, directly or indirectly, apply any part of the proceeds of any such RFC Loan for the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying” any Margin Stock within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U, or to refund any indebtedness incurred for such purpose, provided that the Company may use the proceeds of RFC Loans for such purposes, if such usage does not violate Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect.

2.17 Notice of Certain Circumstances; Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances. (a) Any Bank claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to subsections 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14 or exercising its rights under subsection 2.11, shall, in accordance with the respective provisions thereof, provide notice to the Company and the Agent. Such notice to the Company and the Agent shall include details reasonably sufficient to establish the basis for such additional amounts payable or the rights to be exercised by the Bank.

(b) Any Bank claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to subsections 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14 or exercising its rights under subsection 2.11, shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document requested by the Company or to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such additional amounts which may thereafter accrue or avoid the circumstances giving rise to such exercise and would not, in the reasonable determination of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous in any material respect to such Bank.

(c) In the event that the Company shall be required to make any additional payments to any Bank pursuant to subsections 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14 or any Bank shall exercise its rights under subsection 2.11, the Company shall have the right at its own expense, upon notice to such Bank and the Agent, to require such Bank to transfer and to assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the terms of subsection 10.6) all its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to another financial institution (including any Bank) acceptable to the Agent and RFC (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) which shall assume such obligations; provided that (i) no such assignment shall conflict with any Requirement of Law and (ii) such assuming financial institution shall pay to such Bank in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the outstanding principal amount of the RFC Loans held by such Bank together with accrued interest thereon and all other amounts accrued for its account or owed to it hereunder, including, but not limited to additional amounts payable under subsections 2.11, 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14.

2.18 Regulation U. (a) If at any time the Company shall use the proceeds of any RFC Loans for the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying” any Margin Stock within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U, or to refund any indebtedness incurred for such purpose, and, after giving effect to such purchase or refund, more than 25% of the value (determined in accordance with Regulation U) of the assets subject to the restrictions of Section 7 would be represented by Margin Stock, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Agent, RFC and the Banks, and thereafter the RFC Loans made by each Bank shall at all times be treated for purposes of Regulation U as two separate extensions of credit (the “A Credit” and the “B Credit” of such Bank and, collectively, the “A Credits” and the “B Credits”), as follows:

(i) the aggregate amount of the A Credit of RFC or such Bank shall be an amount equal to such RFC or such Bank’s pro rata share (based on the amount of its Commitment Percentage) of the maximum loan value (as determined in accordance with Regulation U), of all Margin Stock Collateral; and

(ii) the aggregate amount of the B Credit of RFC or such Bank shall be an amount equal to RFC or such Bank’s pro rata share (based on the amount of its Commitment Percentage) of all RFC Loans outstanding hereunder minus such Bank’s A Credit.

In the event that any Margin Stock Collateral is acquired or sold, the amount of the A Credit of such Bank shall be adjusted (if necessary), to the extent necessary by prepayment, to an amount equal to such Bank’s pro rata share (based on the amount of its Commitment Percentage) of the

maximum loan value (determined in accordance with Regulation U) as of the date of such acquisition or sale) of the Margin Stock Collateral immediately after giving effect to such acquisition or sale. Nothing contained in this subsection 2.18 shall be deemed to permit any sale of Margin Stock Collateral in violation of any other provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Each Bank will maintain its records to identify the A Credit of such Bank and the B Credit of such Bank, and, solely for the purposes of complying with Regulation U, the A and B Credits shall be treated as separate extensions of credit. Each Bank hereby represents and warrants that the loan value of the Other Collateral is sufficient for such Bank to lend its pro rata share of the B Credit.

(c) The benefits of the indirect security in Margin Stock Collateral created by any provisions of this Agreement shall be allocated first to the benefit and security of the payment of the principal of and interest on the A Credits of the Banks and of all other amounts payable by the Company under this Agreement in connection with the A Credits (collectively, the “A Credit Amounts”) and second, only after the payment in full of the A Credit Amounts, to the benefit and security of the payment of the principal of and interest on the B Credits of the Banks and of all other amounts payable by the Company under this Agreement in connection with the B Credits (collectively, the “B Credit Amounts”). The benefits of the indirect security in Other Collateral created by any provisions of this Agreement, shall be allocated first to the benefit and security of the payment of the B Credit Amounts and second, only after the payment in full of the B Credit Amounts, to the benefit and security of the payment of the A Credit Amounts.

(d) The Company shall furnish to each Bank at the time of each acquisition and sale of Margin Stock Collateral such information and documents as the Agent or such Bank may require to determine the A and B Credits, and at any time and from time to time, such other information and documents as the Agent or such Bank may reasonably require to determine compliance with Regulation U.

(e) Each Bank shall be responsible for its own compliance with and administration of the provisions of this subsection 2.18 and Regulation U, and the Agent shall have no responsibility for any determinations or allocations made or to be made by any Bank as required by such provisions.

2.19 Purchase and Termination.

If (x) a Wind-Down Event has occurred, or (y) at any time when all of the RFC Loans are held by the Banks or no CP Rate Loans are outstanding, or (z) on or after the tenth Business Day immediately preceding the Termination Date, the Company may deliver a notice (the “CP Termination Notice”) to the Administrative Agent, RFC and the CP Issuer. Upon delivery of a CP Termination Notice and in the case of (x) and (z) of the preceding sentence, RFC shall take such action as set forth in subsection 4.13 of the Liquidity Agreement. The Company agrees to pay any amounts owing under subsection 2.15 in connection with any such purchase. Upon the delivery of the CP Termination Notice and, in the case of (x) and (z) of the first sentence of this subsection 2.19, payment of such amounts as may be due RFC pursuant to subsection 4.13 of the Liquidity Agreement, the Company shall convert the outstanding amount

of such RFC Loans into loans under the 364-Day Facility in accordance with subsection 2.1(d) thereof. Upon such conversion the Facility Amount shall be zero.

2.20 Additional Fee Payable to Downgraded Banks.

If a Bank funds a Downgrade Deposit under the Liquidity Agreement, then the Company shall pay to the Agent, for the account of such Bank, on the amount of such Downgrade Deposit from time to time, an amount per annum equal to the Applicable Margin with respect to Eurodollar Loans as an additional fee hereunder. Such fee shall be payable by the Company in arrears on the last day of each month, commencing on the first of such days to occur after such Bank funds its Downgrade Deposit and on the Termination Date.

SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

3.1 Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law, including, without limitation, HMO Regulations and Insurance Regulations, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or to comply therewith would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.2 No Legal Obstacle to Agreement; Enforceability. Neither the execution and delivery of any Loan Document, nor the making by the Company of any borrowings hereunder, nor the consummation of any transaction herein or therein referred to or contemplated hereby or thereby nor the fulfillment of the terms hereof or thereof or of any agreement or instrument referred to in this Agreement, has constituted or resulted in or will constitute or result in a breach of any Requirement of Law, including without limitation, HMO Regulations and Insurance Regulations, or any Contractual Obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or result in the creation under any agreement or instrument of any security interest, lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. No approval, authorization or other action by any Governmental Authority, including, without limitation, HMO Regulators and Insurance Regulators, or any other Person is required to be obtained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the making of any borrowing by the Company hereunder. This Agreement has been, and each other Loan Document will be, duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Company. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document when executed and delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of

creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

3.3 Litigation. Except as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 and the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for its fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and previously distributed to the Banks, as of the date hereof, there is no litigation, at law or in equity, or any proceeding before any federal, state, provincial or municipal board or other governmental or administrative agency, including without limitation, HMO Regulators and Insurance Regulators, pending or to the knowledge of the Company threatened which, after giving effect to any applicable insurance, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or which seeks to enjoin the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no judgment, decree, or order of any federal, state, provincial or municipal court, board or other governmental or administrative agency, including without limitation, HMO Regulators and Insurance Regulators, has been issued against the Company or any Subsidiary which has, or may involve, a material risk of a Material Adverse Effect. The Company does not believe that the final resolution of the matters disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 and the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for its fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and previously distributed to the Banks, will have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.4 Disclosure. Neither this Agreement nor any agreement, document, certificate or statement furnished to the Banks by the Company in connection herewith (including, without limitation, the information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries included in the Confidential Information Memorandum dated September 2003 delivered in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities hereunder) contains any untrue statement of material fact or, taken as a whole together with all other information furnished to the Banks by the Company, omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading. All pro forma financial statements made available to the Banks have been prepared in good faith based upon reasonable assumptions. There is no fact known to the Company which materially adversely affects or in the future could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the business, operations, affairs or condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, except to the extent that they may be affected by future general economic conditions.

3.5 Defaults. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation in any respect which has had, or may have, a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(a) The Annual Report of the Company on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002; and

(b) the Quarterly Reports of the Company on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003.

The financial statements included therein, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as disclosed therein). As of the date of such financial statements, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries had any known contingent liabilities of any significant amount which in accordance with GAAP are required to be referred to in said financial statements or in the notes thereto which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. During the period from December 31, 2002 to and including the date hereof, there has been no sale, transfer or other disposition by the Company or any of its consolidated Subsidiaries of any asset reflected on the balance sheet referred to above that would have been a material part of its business or property and no purchase or other acquisition of any business or property (including any capital stock of any other Person) material in relation to the consolidated financial condition of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries at December 31, 2002 other than as disclosed in Schedule VI.

3.7 Changes in Condition. Since December 31, 2002, there has been no development or event nor any prospective development or event, which has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

3.8 Assets. The Company and each Subsidiary have good and marketable title to all material assets carried on their books and reflected in the financial statements referred to in subsection 4.6 or furnished pursuant to subsection 6.4, except for assets held on Financing Leases or purchased subject to security devices providing for retention of title in the vendor, and except for assets disposed of as permitted by this Agreement.

3.9 Tax Returns. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have filed all tax returns which are required to be filed and have paid, or made adequate provision for the payment of, all taxes which have or may become due pursuant to said returns or to assessments received. All federal tax returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries through their fiscal years ended in 1999 have been audited by the Internal Revenue Service or are not subject to such audit by virtue of the expiration of the applicable period of limitations, and the results of such audits are fully reflected in the balance sheets referred to in subsection 3.6. The Company knows of no material additional assessments since said date for which adequate reserves have not been established.

3.10 Contracts, etc. Attached hereto as Schedule III is a statement of outstanding Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries for borrowed money in excess of $2,000,000 as of the date set forth therein, and a complete and correct list of all agreements, contracts, indentures, instruments, documents and amendments thereto to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which it is bound pursuant to which any such Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries is outstanding on the date hereof. Said Schedule III also includes a complete and correct list of all such Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries outstanding on the date indicated in respect of Guarantee Obligations in excess of $2,000,000 and letters of credit in excess of $2,000,000, and there have been no increases in such Indebtedness since said date other than as permitted by this Agreement.

3.11 Subsidiaries. As of the date hereof, the Company has only the Subsidiaries set forth in Schedule IV, all of the outstanding capital stock of each of which is duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and owned as set forth in said Schedule IV. Schedule IV indicates all Subsidiaries of the Company which are not Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries and the percentage ownership of the Company and its Subsidiaries in each such Subsidiary. The capital stock and securities owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries in each of the Company’s Subsidiaries are owned free and clear of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance, charge or restriction on the transfer thereof other than restrictions on transfer imposed by applicable securities laws and restrictions, liens and encumbrances outstanding on the date hereof and listed in said Schedule IV.

3.12 Burdensome Obligations. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is a party to or bound by any agreement, deed, lease or other instrument, or subject to any charter, by-law or other corporate restriction which, in the reasonable opinion of the management thereof, is so unusual or burdensome as to in the foreseeable future have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company does not presently anticipate that future expenditures of the Company and its Subsidiaries needed to meet the provisions of any federal or state statutes, orders, rules or regulations will be so burdensome as to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.13 Pension Plans. Each Plan maintained by the Company, any Subsidiary or any Control Group Person or to which any of them makes or will make contributions is in material compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary nor any Control Group Person maintains, contributes to or participates in any Plan that is a “defined benefit plan” as defined in ERISA. Neither the Company, any Subsidiary, nor any Control Group Person has since August 31, 1987 maintained, contributed to or participated in any Multiemployer Plan, with respect to which a complete withdrawal would result in any withdrawal liability. The Company and its Subsidiaries have met all of the funding standards applicable to all Plans that are not Multiemployer Plans, and there exists no event or condition which would permit the institution of proceedings to terminate any Plan that is not a Multiemployer Plan. The current value of the benefits guaranteed under Title IV of ERISA of each Plan that is not a Multiemployer Plan does not exceed the current value of such Plan’s assets allocable to such benefits.

3.14 Environmental and Public and Employee Health and Safety Matters. The Company and each Subsidiary has complied with all applicable Federal, state, and other laws, rules and regulations relating to environmental pollution or to environmental regulation or control or to public or employee health or safety, except to the extent that the failure to so comply would not be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company’s and the Subsidiaries’ facilities do not contain, and have not previously contained, any hazardous wastes, hazardous substances, hazardous materials, toxic substances or toxic pollutants regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, the Toxic Substance Control Act, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act or any other applicable law relating to environmental pollution or public or employee health and safety, in violation of any such law, or any rules or regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, except for violations that would not be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is aware of no events, conditions or circumstances involving environmental pollution or contamination or

public or employee health or safety, in each case applicable to it or its Subsidiaries, that would be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

3.15 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any RFC Loans will be used in any transaction or for any purpose which violates the provisions of Regulations T, U or X as now and from time to time hereafter in effect. If requested by any Bank or the Agent, the Company will furnish to the Agent and each Bank a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of Form FR U-1 or Form FR G-3 referred to in Regulation U.

3.16 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. The Company is not an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Except as set forth in Schedule VII, the Company is not subject to regulation under any Federal or State statute or regulation (other than Regulation X) which limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.

3.17 Solvency. Each of the Company, and the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, is Solvent.

3.18 Casualties. Neither the businesses nor the properties of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are affected by any fire, explosion, accident, strike, lockout or other material labor dispute, drought, storm, hail, earthquake, embargo, act of God or of the public enemy or other casualty (whether or not covered by insurance) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.19 Business Activity. Except as set forth in Schedule VIII, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged in any line of business that is not related to the healthcare industry other than the sale of life insurance in connection with the sale of medical insurance or other healthcare services, sale of long term care insurance, or any business or activity which is immaterial to the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

3.20 Purpose of RFC Loans. The proceeds of the RFC Loans shall be used to finance any lawful general corporate purpose, including acquisitions, provided that no part of the proceeds of any RFC Loans will be used in any transaction or for any purpose which violates the provisions of Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect.

Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries will promptly pay when due, or in conformance with customary trade terms, all other Indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations of whatever nature incident to its operations; provided, however, that any such Indebtedness, liability or obligation need not be paid if the validity or amount thereof shall currently be contested in good faith and if the Company or the Subsidiary in question shall have set aside on its books appropriate reserves in conformity with GAAP with respect thereto.

Such insurance may be subject to co-insurance, deductibility or similar clauses which, in effect, result in self-insurance of certain losses, and the Company may self-insure against such loss or damage, provided that adequate insurance reserves are maintained in connection with such self-insurance.

5.4 Financial Statements. The Company will and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain a standard modern system of accounting in which full, true and correct entries will be made of all dealings or transactions in relation to its business and affairs in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, and will furnish (or make available via the IntraLinks website) the following to the Agent (if not provided via IntraLinks, in duplicate if so requested):

The Company will furnish the Agent with copies of any request for waiver of the funding standards or extension of the amortization periods required by Sections 303 and 304 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code promptly after any such request is submitted by the Company to the Department of Labor or the Internal Revenue Service, as the case may be.

6.6 Limitation on Distributions. The Company shall not make any Distribution except that, so long as no Default exists or would exist after giving effect thereto, the Company may make a Distribution.

6.7 Transactions with Affiliates. Enter into any transaction (unless such transaction or any series of such transactions is immaterial), including, without limitation, any purchase, sale, lease or exchange of property or the rendering of any service, with any Affiliate (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) unless such transaction is otherwise permitted under this Agreement, is in the ordinary course of the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s business and is upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, than it would obtain in an arm’s length transaction.

6.8 Sale and Leaseback. Enter into any arrangement with any Person providing for the leasing by the Company or any Subsidiary of real or personal property which has been or is to be sold or transferred by the Company or such Subsidiary to such Person or to any other Person to whom funds have been or are to be advanced by such Person on the security of such property or rental obligations of the Company or such Subsidiary, unless such arrangement is upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Company or such Subsidiary than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s length transaction between an informed and willing seller or lessor under no compulsion to sell or lease and an informed and willing buyer or lessee under no compulsion to buy or lease.

Except as expressly provided above in this subsection, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived.

7.2 Annulment of Defaults. An Event of Default shall not be deemed to be in existence for any purpose of this Agreement if the Agent, with the consent of or at the direction of the Required Banks, subject to subsection 9.1, shall have waived such event in writing or stated in writing that the same has been cured to its reasonable satisfaction, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any rights of the Agent or the Banks upon the occurrence thereof.

No delay or omission on the part of RFC or any Bank in exercising any right under this Agreement or any Note or with respect to any of the RFC Obligations shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right hereunder.

No waiver or consent shall be binding upon RFC or any Bank unless it is in writing and signed by the Agent or RFC and/or such of the Banks as may be required by the provisions of this Agreement. The making of a RFC Loan during the existence of a Default shall not constitute a waiver thereof.

SECTION 8. THE AGENT

8.1 Appointment. RFC and each Bank hereby irrevocably designates and appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank as the Agent of such Person under this Agreement, and each such Person irrevocably authorizes JPMorgan Chase Bank, as the Agent for such Person, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Agent, as the case may be, by the terms of this Agreement, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with RFC or any Bank, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against the Agent.

8.2 Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

8.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) responsible in any manner to RFC or any of the Banks for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Company or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or the Notes or for any failure of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder. The Agent shall not be

under any obligation to RFC or any Bank to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Company.

8.4 Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of RFC and/or the Required Banks as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the Notes in accordance with a request of RFC or the Required Banks, as the case may be, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon RFC and all the Banks and all future holders of the Notes.

8.5 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Agent has received notice from RFC, a Bank or the Company referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to RFC and the Banks. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Banks; provided that, unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of RFC and the Banks.

8.6 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Banks. Each of RFC and each Bank expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Company, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent to RFC or to any Bank. Each of RFC and each Bank represents to the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company and made its own decision to make its RFC Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, RFC or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to

the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Company. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Banks by the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Company which may come into the possession of the Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

8.7 Indemnification. The Banks agree to indemnify the Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so), ratably according to the respective amounts of their then existing Commitments, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including without limitation at any time following the payment of the RFC Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Bank shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this subsection shall survive the payment of the RFC Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

8.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company as though the Agent were not the Agent hereunder. With respect to its RFC Loans held by it and any Note issued to it, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the terms “Bank” and “Banks” shall include the Agent in its individual capacity.

8.9 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign as Agent, upon 10 days’ notice to the Banks and RFC. If the Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement, then the Required Banks shall appoint from among the Banks a successor agent for the Banks which successor agent shall be approved by the Company and RFC, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Notes. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 8 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS

9.1 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement, any Note, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this subsection. With the written consent of the Required Banks and RFC, the

Agent and the Company may, from time to time, enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the Notes or changing in any manner the rights of the Banks or of the Company hereunder or thereunder or waiving, on such terms and conditions as the Agent may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the Notes or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (a) extend the maturity (whether as stated, by acceleration or otherwise) of any Note, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce or extend the payment of any fee payable to the Banks hereunder, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or amend, modify, waive any provision of subsection 2.10, in each case without the consent of each Bank directly affected thereby, or (b) amend, modify or waive any provision of this subsection 9.1 or reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Banks or consent to the assignment or transfer by the Company of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in each case without the written consent of all the Banks, or (c) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 8 without the written consent of the then Agent. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Banks and shall be binding upon the Company, the Banks, RFC, the Agent and all future holders of the Notes. In the case of any waiver, the Company, RFC, the Banks and the Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the outstanding Notes, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

(b) The Company will indemnify each of the Agent, RFC, the CP Issuer and the Banks and the directors, officers, managers, members and employees thereof and each Person, if any, who controls each one of the Agent, RFC, the CP Issuer and the Banks (any of the foregoing, an “Indemnified Person”) and hold each Indemnified Person harmless from and

against any and all claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation (i) all fees and disbursements of counsel (including without limitation, the allocated cost of in-house counsel) with whom an Indemnified Person may consult in connection therewith and all expenses of litigation or preparation therefore and (ii) any amounts paid or payable by any Bank pursuant to its indemnity obligations under subsection 4.8 of the Liquidity Agreement) which an Indemnified Person may incur or which may be asserted against it in connection with any litigation or investigation (whether or not such Indemnified Person is a party to such litigation or investigation) involving this Agreement, the use of any proceeds of any RFC Loans under this Agreement by the Company or any Subsidiary, any officer, director, member, manager or employee thereof, excluding litigation commenced by the Company against any of the Agent or the Banks which (i) seeks enforcement of any of the Company’s rights hereunder and (ii) is determined adversely to any of the Agent or the Banks (all such non-excluded claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided that the Company shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Person with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person.

(c) The agreements in this subsection 9.5 shall survive repayment of the RFC Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

9.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations; Purchasing Banks. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the Banks, the Agent, all future holders of the Notes and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Company may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Bank and RFC.

(b) Any Bank other than a Conduit Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any RFC Loans owing to such Bank, any Notes held by such Bank, and/or any other interests of such Bank hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Bank shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Bank shall remain the holder of any such Notes for all purposes under this Agreement, and the Company, RFC and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents. The Company agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Notes are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of offset in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and any Notes to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Bank under this Agreement or any Notes, provided that such right of offset shall be subject to the obligation of such Participant to share with the Banks, and the Banks agree to share with such Participant, as provided in subsection 9.7. The Company also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Eurodollar Loans outstanding from time to time; provided that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant

to such subsections than the transferor Bank would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Bank to such Participant had no such transfer occurred. No Participant shall be entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of or to this Agreement or any Note, unless the same is subject to clause (a) of the proviso to subsection 9.1.

(c) Any Bank other than a Conduit Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to any Bank or any Lender Affiliate thereof, and, with the consent of the Company (unless an Event of Default is continuing), RFC and the Agent (which in each case shall not be unreasonably withheld) to one or more additional banks or financial institutions (“Purchasing Banks”) all or any part of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement and the Notes pursuant to a Transfer Supplement, executed by such Purchasing Bank, such transferor Bank and the Agent (and, in the case of a Purchasing Bank that is not then a Bank or a Lender Affiliate, and subject to the other qualifiers above, by the Company and RFC) and agreement by such Purchasing Banks to be bound by the terms of this agreement including without limitation the provisions of subsection 9.15 hereof; provided, however, that (i) each such sale shall be accompanied by a corresponding simultaneous assignment of such selling Bank’s pro rata share to the Purchasing Bank of (x) its Commitment by taking such action as set forth in subsection 4.5(a) of the Liquidity Agreement and (y) its Tranche B Commitment (as defined in the 364-Day Facility) pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of subsection 10.6(d) of the 364-Day Facility and (ii) the Purchasing Bank shall be an Eligible Assignee (as defined in the Liquidity Agreement). Upon (i) such execution of such Transfer Supplement, (ii) delivery of an executed copy thereof to the Company and RFC, (iii) compliance with the assignment procedures under subsection 4.5(a) of the Liquidity Agreement and (iv) payment, if any, by such Purchasing Bank, such Purchasing Bank shall for all purposes be a Bank party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement, to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto. Such Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Bank and the resulting adjustment of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Bank under this Agreement and the Notes. Upon the consummation of any transfer to a Purchasing Bank, pursuant to this subsection 9.6(c), the transferor Bank, the Agent and the Company shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required, replacement Notes are issued to such transferor Bank and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, are issued to such Purchasing Bank, in each case in principal amounts reflecting their interests or, as appropriate, their outstanding RFC Loans as adjusted pursuant to such Transfer Supplement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign at any time to its designating Bank hereunder with the consent of RFC, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but without the consent of the Company or the Agent any or all of the RFC Loans it may have funded hereunder and pursuant to its designation agreement and without regard to the limitations set forth in the first sentence of this subsection 9.6(c); provided, that such designating Bank affirms its obligations pursuant to subsection 9.15.

(d) The Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in subsection 9.2 (a) copy of Transfer Supplement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the RFC Loans owing to, RFC and to each Bank from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be

conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Company, the Agent, RFC and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the RFC Loan recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, RFC or any Bank at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of a Transfer Supplement executed by a transferor Bank and a Purchasing Bank (and, in the case of a Purchasing Bank that is not then a Bank or an affiliate thereof, by the Company, RFC and the Agent) together with payment to the Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500, the Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Transfer Supplement (ii) on the Transfer Effective Date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to RFC, the Banks and the Company.

(f) The Company authorizes each Bank to disclose to any Participant or Purchasing Bank (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Bank’s possession concerning the Company which has been delivered to such Bank by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Bank by the Company in connection with such Bank’s credit evaluation of the Company prior to entering into this Agreement.

(g) If, pursuant to this subsection 9.6, any interest in this Agreement or any Note is transferred to a Non-U.S. Bank, the transferor Bank shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer to comply with the provisions of subsection 2.14.

(h) For the avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this subsection 9.6 concerning assignments relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including any pledge or assignment by a Bank to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.

(i) Each of the Company, each Bank and the Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Bank designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

(j) Nothing in this section is intended to modify the requirements contained in the Liquidity Agreement for replacement, addition or participation of Banks thereto.

(k) RFC may, without the consent of any party, assign the RFC Loans at any time to a Liquidity Institution pursuant to the terms of the Liquidity Agreement.

9.7 Adjustments; Set-off. Except to the extent that this Agreement provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Bank or Banks, if any Bank (a “Benefited Bank”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its RFC Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by offset, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in subsection 7.1(f), or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and collateral received by any other Bank, if any, in respect of such other Bank’s RFC Loans, or interest thereon, such Benefited Bank shall purchase for cash from the other Banks such portion of each such other Bank’s RFC Loans, or shall provide such other Banks with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Bank to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Banks; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Bank, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Company agrees that each Bank so purchasing a portion of another Bank’s RFC Loan may exercise all rights of a payment (including, without limitation, rights of offset) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Bank were the direct holder of such portion.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Banks provided by law, at any time when an Event of Default is in existence, each Bank shall have the right, without prior notice to the Company, any such notice being expressly waived by the Company to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Company hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Bank or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Company. Each Bank agrees promptly to notify the Company and the Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Bank, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

9.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Company and the Agent.

9.9 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

9.10 WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. THE COMPANY, RFC, THE AGENT AND THE BANKS EACH HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

9.11 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. The Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof; and

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts, and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same.

9.12 Confidentiality of Information. Each Bank acknowledges that some of the information furnished to such Bank pursuant to this Agreement may be received by such Bank prior to the time such information shall have been made public, and each Bank agrees that it will keep all information so furnished confidential and shall make no use of such information until it shall have become public, except (a) in connection with matters involving operations under or enforcement of this Agreement or the Notes, (b) in accordance with each Bank’s obligations under law or regulation or pursuant to subpoenas or other process to make information available to governmental or regulatory agencies and examiners or to others, (c) to each Bank’s Affiliates, employees, agents (including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors) and Transferees and prospective Transferees so long as such Persons agree to be bound by this subsection 9.12 and (d) with the prior written consent of the Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary or any contrary understanding or agreement, immediately upon commencement of discussion, any party subject to confidentiality obligations hereunder or under any other related documents (and any employee, representative or other agent of such party) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, such party’s U.S. federal tax treatment and the U.S. federal tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any agreement relating hereto relating to such party and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it related to such tax treatment and tax structure. However, no such party shall disclose any information relating to such tax treatment or tax structure to the extent nondisclosure is reasonably necessary in order to comply with applicable securities laws.

9.13 Bankruptcy Petition Against RFC. Each party to this Agreement hereby covenants and agrees that on behalf of itself and each of its affiliates, that prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding indebtedness of RFC, such party will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, RFC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States. The agreements contained in this subsection and the parties’ respective obligations hereunder shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

9.14 Special RFC Indemnity. The Company agrees to indemnify RFC and its officers, managers, members (and the direct and indirect owners of such members), employees, representatives and agents from and against all liabilities, losses, suits, costs or expenses of any

kind in any way related to the acquisition by RFC of RFC Loans (collectively, “Indemnified Amounts”), provided, however that the Company shall not have any obligations pursuant to this subsection 9.14 relating to any Indemnified Amounts resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person seeking indemnification. The Company’s liability with respect to any Indemnified Amounts with respect to income taxes shall be limited to the amount of tax (calculated based upon the highest marginal U.S. federal income tax rate for individuals and the highest marginal state and local tax rates for individuals resident in New York City), plus interest and penalties thereon, on the increase in net income of RFC as a result of, arising out of, or in any way related to or by reason of the successful assertion by any governmental authority that the Intended Characterization is inappropriate in any regard. As used herein, “Intended Characterization” means that, for all applicable state, local and federal income tax purposes, RFC’s acquisition of RFC Loans shall be treated as the acquisition by RFC of a debt instrument. This indemnity is in addition to any obligations of the Company set forth in subsection 9.5. The agreements contained in this subsection and the parties’ respective obligations hereunder shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

9.15 Limited Recourse. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that all transactions with RFC shall be without recourse of any kind to RFC. RFC shall have no obligation to pay any amounts constituting fees, reimbursement for expense or indemnities owing under this Agreement (collectively, “Expense Claims”) and such Expense Claims shall not constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code) against RFC unless and until RFC has received sufficient amounts pursuant to the CP Rate Loans to pay such Expense Claims and such amounts are not required to pay the outstanding indebtedness of RFC. The agreements contained in this section and the parties’ respective obligations hereunder shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
