1. Definitions. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.

2. Amendments to Definitions.

(a) Applicable Margin. The definition of “Applicable Margin” is hereby deleted and the following substituted therefor:

Applicable Margin” means, prior to the Adjustment Date, with respect to each Loan, the respective percentages per annum


determined, at any time, based on the range into which the Total Debt Ratio then falls, in accordance with the table set forth below:

 

Total Debt Ratio

   Applicable Margin for
Euro-Dollar Loans
(% per annum)
   

Applicable Margin for
Base Rate Loans

(% per annum)

 

less than 35%

   0.85 %   0.0 %

From and after the Adjustment Date, the Applicable Margin with respect to each Loan shall mean the respective percentages per annum determined, at any time, based on the range into which the Borrower’s Credit Rating (if any) then falls, in accordance with the table set forth below. Any change in the Borrower’s Credit Rating shall be effective immediately as of the date on which any of the Rating Agencies announces a change in the Borrower’s Credit Rating or the date on which the Borrower (or, as applicable, the General Partner) has no credit rating, whichever is applicable. In the event that the Borrower (or, as applicable, the General Partner) receives two (2) credit ratings that are not equivalent, the Applicable Margin shall be determined by the higher of such two (2) credit ratings. In the event that Borrower (or, as applicable, the General Partner) receives more than two (2) credit ratings and such credit ratings are not equivalent, the Applicable Margin shall be determined by the lower of the two (2) highest ratings, provided that each of said two (2) highest ratings shall be Investment Grade Ratings and at least one of which shall be an Investment Grade Rating from S&P or Moody’s. In the event that such two ratings are more than one rating apart, the Applicable Margin will be

 

2


determined based on the rating which is one rating above the lower of the two ratings.

(i) prior to the Adjustment Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments, an unused fee equal to (x) .20% per annum if the Outstanding Balance is less than 33% of the then outstanding aggregate Commitments, or (y) .15% per annum if the Outstanding Balance is equal to or greater than 33% of the then outstanding aggregate Commitments, calculated upon the weighted average daily Commitments less the Outstanding Balance,

7


event that the Borrower’s (or the General Partner’s) Credit Rating is such that the Rating Agencies’ ratings are split between a higher and a lower rating, the applicable percentage per annum shall be based upon the higher of such two (2) Credit Ratings. In the event that Borrower (or, as applicable, the General Partner) receives more than two (2) credit ratings and such credit ratings are not equivalent, the applicable fee shall be determined by the lower of the two (2) highest ratings, provided that each of said two (2) highest ratings shall be Investment Grade Ratings and at least one of which shall be an Investment Grade Rating from S&P or Moody’s. In the event that such two ratings are more than one rating apart, the Applicable Margin will be determined based on the rating which is one rating above the lower of the two ratings.

Subject to the limitations set forth herein, any amounts repaid in respect of Swingline Loans may be reborrowed.

7. Interest Rate Protection. Section 5.15 is hereby deleted.

8. Financial Covenants.

SECTION 9.15. Optional Increase in Commitments. At any time prior to the date that is forty-two (42) months after the date of this Agreement, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, the Borrower may, if it so elects, increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments (subject to proviso (b) in the next sentence), either by designating a Qualified Institution not theretofore a Bank to become a Bank (such designation to be effective only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) and/or by agreeing with an existing Bank or Banks that such Bank’s Commitment shall be increased. Upon execution and delivery by the Borrower and such Bank or other financial institution of an instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, such existing Bank shall

 

9


have a Commitment as therein set forth or such Qualified Institution shall become a Bank with a Commitment as therein set forth and all the rights and obligations of a Bank with such a Commitment hereunder; provided that:

(a) the Borrower shall provide prompt notice of such increase to the Administrative Agent, who shall promptly notify the Banks; and

(b) the amount of such increase, together with all other increases in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 9.15 since the date of this Agreement, does not cause the Loan Amount to exceed $650,000,000.

Upon any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 9.15, within five Business Days (in the case of any Base Rate Loans then outstanding) or at the end of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto (in the case of any Euro-Dollar Loans then outstanding), as applicable, each Bank’s pro rata share shall be recalculated to reflect such increase in the Commitments and the outstanding principal balance of the Loans shall be reallocated among the Banks such that the outstanding principal amount of Loans owed to each Bank shall be equal to such Bank’s pro rata share (as recalculated). All payments, repayments and other disbursements of funds by the Administrative Agent to Banks shall thereupon and, at all times thereafter be made in accordance with each Bank’s recalculated pro rata share. For purposes hereof, “Qualified Institution” means a Bank, or one or more banks, finance companies, insurance or other financial institutions which (i) (A) has (or, in the case of a bank which is a subsidiary, such bank’s parent has) a rating of its senior debt obligations of not less than Baa-1 by Moody’s or a comparable rating by a rating agency acceptable to the Administrative Agent and (B) has total assets in excess of Ten Billion Dollars ($10,000,000,000), or (ii) is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

11. Effective Date. This Amendment shall become effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of counterparts hereof signed by the Borrower and the Required Banks (as defined in the Credit Agreement) together with each Bank that is

 

10


not already a party to the Credit Agreement (the date of such receipt being deemed the “Effective Date”).

12. Representations and Warranties. Borrower hereby represents and warrants that as of the Effective Date, all the representations and warranties set forth in the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby (other than representations and warranties which expressly speak as of a different date), are true and complete in all material respects.

13. Entire Agreement. This Amendment, together with a fee letter, dated as of even date herewith, among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., constitutes the entire and final agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no other agreements, understandings, undertakings, representations or warranties among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof except as set forth herein.

14. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

15. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Amendment by signing any such counterpart.

16. Headings, Etc. Section or other headings contained in this Amendment are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Amendment.

17. No Further Modifications. Except as modified herein, all of the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, as modified hereby, shall remain in full force and effect and, as modified hereby, the Borrower confirms and ratifies all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Credit Agreement in all respects.
