“Affiliate” means, with respect to a specified Person, another Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with the Person specified.

Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, respectively. As used in this definition, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Adjusted LIBO Rate” means, as of any day, an interest rate per annum equal to (a) the LIBO Rate multiplied by (b) the Statutory Reserve Rate.

“LIBO Rate” means, as of any day, the rate appearing on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or on any successor or substitute page of such Service, or any successor to or substitute for such Service, providing rate quotations comparable to those currently provided on such page of such Service, as determined by the Administrative Agent from time to time for purposes of providing quotations of interest rates applicable to dollar deposits in the London interbank market) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such day as the rate for dollar deposits with a one month maturity.

“Statutory Reserve Rate” means a fraction (expressed as a decimal), the numerator of which is the number one and the denominator of which is the number one minus the aggregate of the maximum reserve percentages (including any marginal, special, emergency or supplemental reserves) expressed as a decimal established by the Board to which the Administrative Agent is subject for eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency Liabilities” in Regulation D of the Board). Such reserve percentages shall include those imposed pursuant to such Regulation D.

If the Commitments have terminated or expired, the Applicable Percentages shall be determined based upon the Commitments most recently in effect, giving effect to any assignments and to any Lender’s status as a Defaulting Lender at the time of determination.

“Applicable Rate” means, for any day, with respect to any Fixed Rate Loan or with respect to the facility fees payable hereunder, as the case may be, the applicable rate per annum set forth below under the caption “Fixed Spread” or “Facility Fee Rate”, as the case may be, based upon the higher of the ratings by S&P and Moody’s, respectively, applicable on such date to the Index Debt. In the event the ratings for the Index Debt fall within different ratings categories, the Applicable Rate shall be based on the higher of such ratings if there is only one category difference between such ratings.

Each change in the Applicable Rate shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system of Moody’s or S&P shall change, or if either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Rate shall be determined by reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.

(iv) the date, which may not extend past the Maturity Date, on which the Competitive Loan will become fully due and payable (such date applicable to a Competitive Loan, herein, its “Competitive Loan Maturity Date” and when establishing such date for a Set Rate Loan, the Borrower shall select a date so the period during which such Competitive Loan is outstanding shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”);

(v) the Available Currency to be applicable to such Borrowing (provided that Variable Rate Borrowings may only be denominated in dollars); and

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 16

case of a Variable Rate Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the proposed date of the Competitive Borrowing; provided that (i) the failure of the Borrower to give such notice shall be deemed to be a rejection of each Competitive Bid, (ii) the Borrower shall not accept a Competitive Bid made at a particular Competitive Bid Rate if the Borrower rejects a Competitive Bid made at a lower Competitive Bid Rate, (iii) the aggregate amount of the Competitive Bids accepted by the Borrower shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the requested Competitive Borrowing specified in the related Competitive Bid Request, and (iv) to the extent necessary to comply with clause (iii) above, the Borrower may accept Competitive Bids at the same Competitive Bid Rate in part, which acceptance, in the case of multiple Competitive Bids at such Competitive Bid Rate, shall be made pro rata in accordance with the amount of each such Competitive Bid. A notice given by the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph shall be irrevocable and once notified of the acceptance of its bid under this paragraph, each successful bidder will thereupon become bound, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to make the Competitive Loan in respect of which its Competitive Bid has been accepted; provided that the obligations of such Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Competitive Loans as required.

Section 2.05. Swingline Loans.

(a) Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make advances to the Borrower in the applicable Available Currency requested from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in: (i) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent principal amount of Swingline Loans exceeding $50,000,000, (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Exposures exceeding the total Commitments; (iii) any Lender’s Revolving Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Commitment and (iv) the Outstanding Credit exceeding the total Commitments; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a dollar Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding dollar Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

(b) Request for Swingline Borrowings. To request a dollar Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy), not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. To request a Swingline Loan denominated in an Available Currency other than dollars, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy), not later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day), the amount of the requested Swingline Loan, the Available Currency with which such Swingline Loan will be denominated and if such Swingline Loan will accrue interest at a Fixed Rate, the Interest Period applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to the general deposit account of the Borrower with the Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e), by remittance through the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 17

date of such Swingline Loan. With respect to the payment of any amount denominated in Euros, the Swingline Lender shall not be liable to the Borrower or any of the Lenders in any way whatsoever for any delay, or the consequences of any delay, in the crediting to any account of any amount required by this Agreement to be paid by the Swingline Lender in Euros if the Swingline Lender shall have taken all relevant steps to achieve, on the date required by this Agreement, the payment of such amount in Euros and in immediately available, freely transferable, cleared funds to the account with the bank in the principal financial center in the participating member state of the European Union which the Borrower shall have specified for such purpose. “All relevant steps” means all such steps as may be prescribed from time to time by the regulations or operating procedures of such clearing or settlement system as the Swingline Lender may from time to time determine for the purpose of clearing and settling payments of Euros.

(c) Lender Participation in Swingline Loans. The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans then outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Lenders will participate and the Available Currency in which such Swingline Loans are denominated. Promptly upon receipt of notice under this paragraph, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, three Business Days after the date of receipt of such notice with respect to Major Currency Swingline Loans and on the date of the receipt of such notice with respect to other Swingline Loans, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of: (A) the amount of any applicable Major Currency Swingline Loan or Loans in the currency in which such Loan or Loans is denominated and (B) the Dollar Equivalent amount of any other Swingline Loan or Loans in dollars. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of the applicable currency in immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender and shall be made by the Borrower: (A) if payment is made with respect to a Major Currency Swingline Loan, in the currency in which such Loan is denominated and (B) with respect to other Swingline Loans, in dollars and in the Dollar Equivalent amount of the applicable Swingline Loan. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

Section 2.06. Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of letters of credit for its own account or the account of one of its Subsidiaries, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, any Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the currency in which such Letter of Credit is to be issued, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension: (i) the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the total Commitments, (ii) no Lender’s Revolving Exposures shall exceed such Lender’s Commitment; (iii) the Outstanding Credit shall not exceed the total Commitments; and (iv) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $250,000,000.

(c) Expiration Date; Cash Collateralization. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date up to thirteen months after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, up to thirteen months after such renewal or extension) (provided that any Letter of Credit may provide for the renewal thereof for additional up to thirteen month periods not to extend past the date in clause (ii) below) and (ii) the date five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided that the expiration date of a Letter of Credit may extend beyond the date referenced in clause (ii) above if the Borrower has on the date of its issuance: (A) posted cash collateral to the Administrative Agent in an amount in the applicable currency in which the related Letter of Credit is issued and in immediate available funds equal to the amount of the related LC Exposure plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (any cash collateral provided to secure any LC Exposure is herein referred to as the “Cash Collateral”) in accordance with Section 2.06(i), (B) delivered a backstop Letter of Credit to the Administrative Agent in such amount or (C) otherwise entered into alternative arrangement with respect to securing the LC Exposure applicable to such Letter of Credit, in each case on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. If the Borrower is required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (c) with respect to a Letter of Credit, such Cash Collateral (to the extent not applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Lender as provided in Section 2.06(i)) shall be returned to the Borrower after the expiry date applicable to such Letter of Credit (as such date may be extended by any period required by Rule 3.14 of ISP).

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof and on the date hereof with respect to Letters of Credit listed on Schedule 1.01 hereto) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank that issued the Letter of Credit hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 19

Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing and with respect to each Letter of Credit, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay in dollars and immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent amount of each LC Disbursement made by the applicable Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount in the applicable currency in which such Letter of Credit is issued the amount of such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is payable in an Available Currency, the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Sections 2.03, 2.04 or 2.05, as applicable, that such payment be financed with a Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent amount thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent in dollars its Applicable Percentage of the Dollar Equivalent amount of such payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the applicable Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Borrowings as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement. To the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank in respect to an LC Disbursement, then all payments by the Borrower thereafter with respect to its reimbursement obligations relating to such LC Disbursement shall be in dollars and in the Dollar Equivalent amount thereof.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 20

inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the applicable Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. An Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(e) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse an Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Cash Collateralization Upon an Event of Default. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing more than 50% of the total LC Exposure) may demand the deposit of Cash Collateral pursuant to this paragraph in an amount in the currencies in which the related Letters of Credit are issued and in immediate available funds equal to the amount of the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Cash Collateral provided by the Borrower shall be deposited in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders. Each deposit of Cash Collateral shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, deposits of Cash Collateral shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time. If the Borrower is required to provide Cash Collateral hereunder as a result of the

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 21

occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(j) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

Section 2.07. Funding of Borrowings.

(a) By the Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Revolving Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders and in the Available Currency requested. The Administrative Agent will make such Revolving Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent or by wire transfer, automated clearing house debit or interbank transfer to such other account, accounts or Persons designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank.

(b) Borrowings Assumed Made. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed time of any Revolving Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Revolving Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

Section 2.08. Interest Elections.

(a) Interest Options. Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Competitive Borrowings or dollar Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) Interest Election Request. To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 22

resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.

(c) Contents of Election Request. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Fixed Rate Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Fixed Rate Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing. If any such Interest Election Request requests a Fixed Rate Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of seven days’ duration. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Fixed Rate Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing or if such Borrowing is a Fixed Rate Borrowing, continued as a Fixed Rate Borrowing with an Interest Period of seven days’ duration.

(d) Limitations on Interest Election Requests. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Fixed Rate Borrowing (except Fixed Rate Borrowings denominated in any Available Currency other than dollars may be continued as Fixed Rate Borrowings with Interest Periods of seven days’ duration) and (ii) unless repaid, each dollar denominated Fixed Rate Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. A Borrowing denominated in one Available Currency may not be converted into another Available Currency.

Section 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise agree: (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000; (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the sum of the Outstanding Credit would exceed the total Commitments; and (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent termination or reduction of the commitment of the Swingline Lender to make Swingline Loans, such commitment of the Swingline Lender would equal or exceed the total Commitments. The Borrower may at any time terminate,

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 23

or from time to time reduce, the commitment of the Swingline Lender to make Swingline Loans; provided that (i) each reduction of such commitment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce such commitment if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Swingline Loans, the aggregate Swingline Exposure would exceed the such commitment. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments or the commitment of the Swingline Lender under this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments and the commitment of the Swingline Lender delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments and the commitment of the Swingline Lender shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages; provided that if no Loans and no LC Disbursements are at the time outstanding, the Borrower shall have the right to allocate the amount of the reduction of the Commitments to one or more Lenders as it shall determine in its discretion. Any termination of the Commitments (under the terms of this Section or pursuant to Article VI) shall automatically terminate the commitment of the Swingline Lender to make Swingline Loans.

Section 2.10. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) Promise to Repay. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan of such Lender on the Maturity Date, (ii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan that is not denominated in dollars on the Maturity Date in the applicable Available Currency, (iii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each dollar Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least two Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made (provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing or a dollar Competitive Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay all dollar Swingline Loans then outstanding) and (iv) with respect to each Competitive Borrowing, to the Administrative Agent for the account of each applicable Lender that has made the applicable Competitive Borrowing, the then unpaid principal amount of such Competitive Borrowing on it Competitive Loan Maturity Date.

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

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

(d) Records Prima Facie Evidence. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 24

maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Promissory Notes. Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 8.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

Section 2.11. Prepayment of Loans.

(a) Optional Prepayment. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section.

(b) Mandatory Prepayment; Mark to Market of Available Currencies. As of the date of the delivery of each compliance certificate under Section 5.03(c) and as of the date of each Borrowing and each issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall calculate the Dollar Equivalent amount of the Revolving Exposures and, if applicable, the Dollar Equivalent amount of each Competitive Loan. The Administrative Agent may also at any time and from time to time calculate the Dollar Equivalent amount of the Revolving Exposures and the Competitive Loans. The Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower written notice of any such calculation. If as a result of any such calculation by the Borrower or by the Administrative Agent or if as of any other date:

(i) the Outstanding Credit exceeds the total Commitments then within five (5) Business Days after the date of such calculation (or in the case of the calculation by the Agent, after the written notice is given to the Borrower), the Borrower shall prepay Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to such excess, with such amount so paid to be applied to the Loans in the following order, until each is paid in full: dollar Swingline Loans, ABR Loans, Variable Rate Loans, Fixed Rate Loans and Set Rate Loans; or

(ii) the Swingline Exposures exceeds the total commitments of the Swingline Lender to make Swingline Loans, then within five (5) Business Days after the date of such calculation (or in the case of the calculation by the Agent, after the written notice is given to the Borrower), the Borrower shall prepay the applicable Swingline Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

(c) Selection of Borrowings to be Prepaid. Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section.

(d) Notice of Prepayment. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Fixed Rate Borrowing or Set Rate Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, and (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, any dollar Swingline Borrowings or any Variable Rate Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that, if a notice of optional prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly following receipt of any such notice (other than a notice relating solely to Swingline Loans), the

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 25

Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders (or with respect to Competitive Borrowings, the applicable Lenders) of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing (other than a Competitive Borrowing) shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.

Section 2.12. Fees.

(a) Facility Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates; provided that, if such Lender continues to hold any Outstanding Credit after its Commitment terminates, then such facility fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Lender’s Outstanding Credit from and including the date on which its Commitments terminates to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to hold any Outstanding Credit. Accrued facility fees shall be payable in arrears on the date which is thirty days following the last day of each March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof; provided that any facility fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. All facility fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate as interest on Fixed Rate Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure. Participation fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the thirtieth day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within thirty days after demand. All participation fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Bank the following fees applicable to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank: (i) a drawing fee equal to $100 upon each drawing made under such Letters of Credit on the date of such drawing; (ii) an issuance fee equal to $300 upon each issuance of each such Letter of Credit payable on the date of issuance; (iii) a renewal fee of $100 upon each renewal of each such Letter of Credit payable prior to the renewal of such Letter of Credit; and (iv) a fronting fee in an amount agreed upon by the Borrower and the applicable Issuing Bank and calculated on the face amount of each Letter of Credit, which shall be payable quarterly in arrears to such Issuing Bank for its own account on the same date as the participation fee is payable hereunder unless otherwise agreed with the applicable Issuing Bank.

(c) Agent Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(d) Payment of Fees. All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in dollars and in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 26

fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of facility fees and participation fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.13. Interest.

(a) ABR Borrowings. The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate.

(b) Fixed Rate Borrowings. The Loans comprising each Fixed Rate Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan denominated in a currency other than dollars but excluding each dollar Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Fixed Rate for the Interest Period and Available Currency in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) Dollar Swingline Loans. Dollar Swingline Loans shall bear interest each day at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus 1.50%.

(d) Competitive Loans. The Loans comprising each Competitive Borrowing shall bear interest at the applicable Competitive Bid Rate accepted for such Borrowing in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.04.

(e) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(f) Payment of Interest. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that: (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan or a non–dollar denominated Swingline Loan prior to the end of the Revolving Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Fixed Rate Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. Interest on Loans the principal amount of which is denominated in an Available Currency, shall be paid in that Available Currency.

(g) Computation of Interest. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Fixed Rate or Federal Funds Effective Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.14. Unavailability, Illegality, Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a) Unavailability. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Fixed Rate Borrowing:

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 27

(i) deposits of the applicable Available Currency in the principal amounts of the Fixed Rate Loan comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the market utilized to determine the applicable Fixed Rate or

(ii) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Fixed Rate for such Interest Period; or

(iii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders (or, with respect to Fixed Rate Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender) that the Fixed Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Fixed Rate Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Fixed Rate Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR dollar Borrowing or, if requested under the Swingline, as a Federal Funds Effective Rate dollar Borrowing.

(b) Change in Legality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Fixed Rate Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Fixed Rate Loan (including, without limitation, as a result of a restriction on an Available Currency), then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, such Lender may:

(i) declare that the applicable Fixed Rate Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lender hereunder, whereupon any request for such a Fixed Rate Borrowing shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for a dollar Loan (accruing interest as an ABR Loan, or if it is a Swingline Loan, as a Federal Funds Effective Rate Loan) unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn (any Lender delivering such a declaration hereby agreeing to withdraw such declaration promptly upon determining that such event of illegality no longer exists); and

(ii) require that all outstanding Fixed Rate Loans affected by the illegality made by it be either (A), if such Loans are dollar Loans, converted to ABR Revolving Loans or dollar Swingline Loans, in which event all such Fixed Rate Loans shall be automatically converted as of the effective date of such notice as provided below, or (B) repaid if such Fixed Rate Loan is denominated in any other Available Currency.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clauses (i) or (ii) above of this paragraph (b), all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to repay the affected Fixed Rate Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Fixed Rate Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Fixed Rate Loans. For purposes of this Section, a notice by any Lender shall be effective as to each Fixed Rate Loan, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Fixed Rate Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt.

(c) Unavailability of Foreign Currency Loans. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Loan denominated in a currency other than dollars or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 28

respect to any such Loan or in the event that there shall occur any material adverse change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls which would in the opinion of the Administrative Agent make it impracticable for Loans to be denominated in a currency other than dollars, then, by written notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent may:

(i) declare that such Loans will not thereafter be made, whereupon any request for such a Borrowing in a currency other than dollars shall be deemed a request for a dollar Borrowing unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn (the Administrative Agent agreeing to withdraw such declaration promptly upon determining that the applicable event or condition no longer exists); and

(ii) require that all outstanding Loans so affected be repaid.

Section 2.15. Increased Costs.

(a) Additional Costs. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (including any marginal, special, emergency or supplemental reserves established by the Board or any other reserves imposed pursuant to Regulation D of the Board) or any Issuing Bank; or

(ii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London or other interbank market utilized to determine the Fixed Rate or any Set Rate any other condition affecting this Agreement, any Fixed Rate Loans or any Set Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Fixed Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or maintaining any Set Rate Loans or to increase the cost to such Lender or the applicable Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Adequacy. If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificate. A certificate of a Lender or a Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty days after receipt thereof.

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 29

(d) Limit on Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 60 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 60–day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. If, following any demand by any Lender or any Issuing Bank under this Section, the item for which such demand was made is changed to reduce or eliminate the effect on the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall promptly so inform the Borrower and equitable reduce any amounts thereafter payable by the Borrower under this Section.

Section 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Fixed Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto or (b) the payment of any Set Rate Loan other than on the corresponding Competitive Loan Maturity Date, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall reimburse each applicable Lender on demand for the loss incurred or to be incurred by such Lender in the reemployment of the funds released by such prepayment. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.17. Taxes.

(a) Gross–Up. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) Tax Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within thirty days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) Receipt. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 30

(d) Foreign Lender. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

(e) FATCA. If a payment made to a Lender hereunder would be subject to United States Federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

Section 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Payments.

(a) Payments. The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices designated for such purpose by notice to the Borrower, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 8.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in the Available Currency herein specified.

(b) Application of Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c) Sharing of Payments; Limit on Set-off. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 31

Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Lender agrees that it will not exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim in an amount in excess of the Loans and other obligations owed directly to such Lender hereunder and in furtherance of the foregoing, any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may not exercise against the Borrower rights of set–off and counterclaim with respect to such participation.

(d) Payments Assumed Made. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or an Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

Section 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Mitigation Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of a Lender. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-consenting Lender (as defined below in this section), then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 8.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 32

participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in future compensation or payments under the applicable Section. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. In the event that (i) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent have requested the Lenders to consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of this Agreement or to agree to any other modification thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or other modification in question requires the agreement of all Lenders and (iii) the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or other modification, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or other modification shall be deemed a “Non-consenting Lender”. In addition, each Rejecting Lender (as defined in the definition of the term Maturity Date) shall be a Non-consenting Lender hereunder.

Section 2.20. Increase of Commitments. By written notice sent to the Administrative Agent (which the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to the Lenders), the Borrower may at any time and from time to time request an increase of the aggregate amount of the Commitments by an aggregate amount equal to any integral multiple of $5,000,000; provided that (i) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (ii) the aggregate amount of the Commitments shall not have been reduced, nor shall the Borrower have given notice of any such reduction under Section 2.09; (iii) the total amount of all Commitments shall not be increased to an aggregate amount that would exceed $800,000,000; and (iv) the Commitment of a Lender shall not be increased without the consent of such Lender. If one or more of the Lenders is not increasing its Commitment, then, with notice to the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders, another one or more financial institutions, each as approved by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (a “New Lender”), may commit to provide an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the requested increase that will not be provided by the existing Lenders (the “Increase Amount”); provided, that the Commitment of each New Lender shall be at least $5,000,000. Upon receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent to the Lenders and the Borrower that the Lenders, or sufficient Lenders and New Lenders, have agreed to commit to an aggregate amount equal to the Increase Amount, then: provided that no Default exists at such time or after giving effect to the requested increase, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders willing to increase their respective Commitments and the New Lenders (if any) shall execute and deliver an Increased Commitment Supplement (herein so called) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “C”. If all existing Lenders shall not have provided their pro rata portion of the requested Increase Amount, the Revolving Loans will not be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Applicable Percentages determined hereunder. To remedy the foregoing, on the date of the effectiveness of the Increased Commitment Supplement, the Lenders shall make advances among themselves so that after giving effect thereto the Revolving Loans will be held by the Lenders, pro rata in accordance with the Applicable Percentages hereunder. The advances so made by each Lender whose Applicable Percentage has increased as a result of the changes to the Commitments shall be deemed to be a purchase of a corresponding amount of the Revolving Loans of the Lender or Lenders whose Applicable Percentages have decreased. The advances made under this Section shall be Loans of the same Type as those previously held by the Lender or Lenders whose Applicable Percentages have decreased unless or until the Borrower shall have selected an alternative interest rate to apply thereto under the terms of this Agreement. All advances made under this Section shall be made through the Administrative Agent.

Section 2.21. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(c) Participation Exposure. if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) Reallocation. All or any part of such Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at such time;

(ii) Payment and Cash Collateralization. if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, provide Cash Collateral to secure such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.06(i) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) Suspension of Letter of Credit Fee. if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.21(c), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized by the Borrower; and

(iv) Issuing Banks Entitled to Fees. if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to Section 2.21(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks (pro rata based on the respective L/C Exposure directly held by each Issuing Bank) until such LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated;

(d) Suspension of Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit. so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower, and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.21(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and

(e) Setoff Against Defaulting Lender. any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(c) but excluding Section 2.19(b)) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 34

(f) Remedy of Defaulting Lender Status. In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

Letters of Credit will be issued only to support transactions of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business.

Section 5.16. Other Revolving Agreements. Will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, enter into any revolving credit agreement, unless, concurrent with entering into such revolving credit agreement,

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 42

the Borrower agrees to amend this Agreement (or amend any such revolving credit agreement in such manner) in order to cause the terms and provisions of this Agreement to be substantially similar to and not less favorable to the Lenders than such new or amended revolving credit agreement.

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 43

(g) any judgment, writ or warrant of attachment or of any similar process in an uninsured amount in excess of $50,000,000 in any single proceeding or series of related proceedings shall be entered or filed against the Borrower or any Subsidiary or against any property or assets of either and remains unpaid, unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days (provided that no Lender shall be required to make any Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to consider issuing new Letters of Credit or renewing existing Letters of Credit during such sixty (60) day period). As used in paragraphs (f) and (g) of this Article VI, the term “Subsidiary” shall be limited to those Subsidiaries, standing alone or in the aggregate, whose capital surplus and retained earnings (“Net Worth”) on an unconsolidated basis are at that time equal to 10% or more of the consolidated Net Worth of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries;

ARTICLE VII.

The Administrative Agent

Each of the Lenders and each of the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the “Administrative Agent” hereunder on its behalf and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise pursuant to a written direction provided to the Administrative Agent by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 8.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 8.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub–agents who are appointed by the Administrative Agent and are Affiliates of the

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 45

Agent or approved by the Borrower. The Administrative Agent and any such sub–agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub–agent and to the Related Parties of each Administrative Agent and any such sub–agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 8.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub–agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

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

Certain of the Lenders and/or their Affiliates may have been designated as “co-syndication agents”, “documentation agent”, “joint bookrunners” and “joint lead arrangers” hereunder in recognition of the level of each of their Commitments. No such Lender or Affiliate (other than JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as the Administrative Agent) is an agent for the Lenders or the Borrower and no such Lender nor any such Affiliates (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have any obligation hereunder other than those existing in its capacity as a Lender. Without limiting the foregoing, no such Lender nor any of its Affiliates shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Lender or the Borrower.

Section 8.02. Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No Waiver. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Amendment. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, (x) pursuant to an Increased Commitment Supplement executed in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.20 which only needs to be signed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders increasing or providing new Commitments thereunder if the Increased Commitment Supplement does not increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments to an amount in excess of $800,000,000 and (y) in any circumstance other than as described in clause (x), pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without

(d) Demand Obligations. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than thirty days after written demand therefor.

Section 8.04. Successors and Assigns.

(a) Benefit and Binding Effect.

(b) Assignments.

(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

(A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment by a Lender: (1) to one of its own Affiliates; (2) if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to any other Lender; or (3) if an Event of Default under clauses (a), (e) or (f) of Article VI has occurred and is continuing, to any assignee; and

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 49

respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under clauses (a), (e) or (f) of Article VI has occurred and is continuing;

Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 8.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(c), 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 8.03(c) or such Lender or assignee is otherwise a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon.

(c) Participations. Any Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of the Borrower but without the consent of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, provided that (A) no consent of the Borrower shall be required for a participation by a Lender: (1) to one of its own Affiliates; (2) to any agency, department, board, governmental body or subdivision of the United States of America; (3) if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to any other Lender; or (4) if an Event of Default under clauses (a), (e) or (f) of Article VI has occurred and is continuing, to any party; (B) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (C) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (D) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

(d) Pledge. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 8.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 8.03 and Article VII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. ORAL AGREEMENTS OR COMMITMENTS TO LOAN MONEY, EXTEND CREDIT OR TO FOREBEAR FROM ENFORCING REPAYMENT OF A DEBT INCLUDING PROMISES TO EXTEND OR RENEW SUCH DEBT ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE. TO PROTECT THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE SWINGLINE LENDER, EACH ISSUING BANK AND EACH LENDER FROM MISUNDERSTANDING OR DISAPPOINTMENT, ANY AGREEMENTS REACHED COVERING SUCH MATTERS ARE CONTAINED IN THIS WRITING, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY SEPARATE LETTER AGREEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO FEES PAYABLE TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT WHICH

This Agreement, the other Loan Document and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic communication shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 8.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 8.08. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the applicable law pertaining in the State of New York, other than those conflict of law provisions that would defer to the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. This governing law election has been made by the parties in reliance (at least in part) on Section 5–1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York, as amended (as and to the extent applicable), and other applicable law.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 8.12. Maximum Interest Rate.

(a) No interest rate specified in any Loan Document shall at any time exceed the Maximum Rate. If at any time the interest rate (the “Contract Rate”) for any obligation under the Loan Documents shall exceed the Maximum Rate, thereby causing the interest accruing on such obligation to be limited to the Maximum Rate, then any subsequent reduction in the Contract Rate for such obligation shall not reduce the rate of interest on such obligation below the Maximum Rate until the aggregate amount of interest accrued on such obligation equals the aggregate amount of interest which would have accrued on such obligation if the Contract Rate for such obligation had at all times been in effect. As used herein, the term “Maximum Rate” means, at any time with respect to any Lender, the maximum rate of nonusurious interest under applicable law that such Lender may charge Borrower. The Maximum Rate shall be calculated in a manner that takes into account any and all fees, payments, and other charges contracted for, charged, or received in connection with the Loan Documents that constitute interest under applicable law. Each change in any interest rate provided for herein based upon the Maximum Rate resulting from a change in the Maximum Rate shall take effect without notice to Borrower at the time of such change in the Maximum Rate.

(b) No provision of any Loan Document shall require the payment or the collection of interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. If any excess of interest in such respect is hereby provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided, in any Loan Document or otherwise in connection with this loan transaction, the provisions of this Section shall govern and prevail and neither Borrower nor the sureties, guarantors, successors, or assigns of Borrower shall be obligated to pay the excess amount of such interest or any other excess sum paid for the use, forbearance, or detention of sums loaned pursuant hereto. In the event any Lender ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such sum, such amount which would be in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable law shall be applied as a payment and reduction of the principal of the obligations outstanding hereunder, and, if the principal of the obligations outstanding hereunder has been paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to the Borrower.

Section 8.13. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107–56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information

CREDIT AGREEMENT, Page 53

that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

Section 8.14. Recording of Conversations. Each Issuing Bank may electronically record telephone conversations between itself and the Borrower solely for the limited purpose of establishing the terms and conditions regarding each Letter of Credit and each party agrees that such recordings may be submitted in evidence to a court or in a proceeding only when the terms of a Letter of Credit are at issue.

Section 8.15. Issuing Bank Funds. Each Issuing Bank agrees that any payments under the Letters of Credit issued by it will be made with the Issuing Bank’s own funds and not with funds of the Borrower; in no event shall any such payment be made from or in reliance upon funds of any other Person. The Borrower’s reimbursement obligations under Section 2.06(e) shall not arise with respect to a Letter of Credit until payment has actually been made by the Issuing Bank in connection with the drawing or demand for payment under the Letter of Credit.

Section 8.16. Payment of Available Currency. This is a loan transaction in which the specification of the applicable Available Currency is of the essence, and the stipulated currency shall in each instance be the currency of account and payment in all instances. A payment obligation in one currency hereunder (the “Original Currency”) shall not be discharged by an amount paid in another currency (the “Other Currency”), whether pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any Other Currency or in another place except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by a party hereto of the full amount of the Original Currency payable to such party. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender under any Loan Document (in this Section 8.16 called an “Entitled Person”) shall be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Entitled Person of any sum due hereunder in the Other Currency such Entitled Person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Original Currency with the amount of the Other Currency; and the Borrower, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify such Entitled Person against, and to pay such Entitled Person on demand, in the Original Currency, the amount (if any) by which the sum originally due to such Entitled Person in the Original Currency hereunder exceeds the amount of the Other Currency so purchased.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE BORROWER

August 19, 2011

To the Lenders and the Administrative

Agent Referred to Below

c/o JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as

Administrative Agent

2200 Ross Avenue, Third Floor

Dallas, Texas 75201

Dear Sirs:

I refer to the Credit Agreement dated as of August 19, 2011 (the “Credit Agreement”), among Leggett & Platt, Incorporated, a Missouri corporation (the “Borrower”), the banks and other financial institutions identified therein as Lenders, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein with the same meanings.

As Senior Vice President and General Counsel of the Borrower, I have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates or statements of public officials and officers of the Borrower and other documents, records and instruments and have conducted such other investigations of fact and law as I have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion. I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal competence and capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of documents submitted to me as originals and the conformity with authentic original documents of all documents submitted to me as copies.

When relevant facts were not independently established, I have relied without independent investigation as to matters of fact upon statements of governmental officials and upon representations made in or pursuant to the Loan Documents and certificates and statements of appropriate representatives of the Borrower.

Upon the basis of the foregoing and subject to the limitation of this letter, I am of the opinion that:

1. The Borrower is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Missouri.

2. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents are within the Borrower’s corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action. The Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

EXHIBIT B, Page 1

3. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by the Borrower (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority with respect to the Borrower, except such as may be required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (b) will not violate any law or regulation applicable to the Borrower or the charter, by–laws or other organizational documents of the Borrower or any order of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Borrower, (c) to the best of my actual knowledge, will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon the Borrower or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower, and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower.

4. Except as disclosed in Borrower’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed August 4, 2011, there are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the best of my actual knowledge, overtly threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (a) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect or (b) that involve the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.

5. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940.

For the purposes of this opinion, I have assumed that you are lawfully organized and existing banking associations, having all requisite power and authority and having taken all corporate or other action necessary to execute and deliver the instruments to which you are a party and to effect the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents. I have also assumed that you have duly executed the Credit Agreement and that the Credit Agreement is a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of yours.

My opinion expressed in paragraph 1 above, to the extent it relates to the legal existence and good standing of the Company in Missouri, is based solely on a confirmation of good standing obtained from the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Missouri and is limited accordingly.

I express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision in any of the Loan Documents purporting or attempting to (A) confer exclusive jurisdiction and/or venue upon certain courts or otherwise waive the defenses of forum non conveniens or improper venue or (B) confer subject matter jurisdiction on a court not having independent grounds therefore or (C) modify or waive the requirements for effective service of process for any action that may be brought or (D) waive the right of the Borrower and any other person to a trial by jury or (E) provide that remedies are cumulative or that decisions by a party are conclusive or (F) modify or waive the rights to notice, legal defenses, statutes of limitations or other benefits that cannot be waived under applicable law.

I am a member of the bar of the State of Missouri and the foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the State of Missouri and the Federal laws of the United States of America. For purposes of the opinion expressed in paragraph 2 above, we have assumed with your consent that the laws of the State of New York do not differ from the laws of Missouri in any manner that would render such opinion incorrect. This opinion is rendered solely to you in connection with the above matter. This opinion may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose or relied upon by any other Person (other than your successors and assigns as Lenders and Persons that acquire participations in your Loans) without my prior written consent.

EXHIBIT B, Page 2

I am a stockholder and full-time employee and officer of the Borrower.

Very truly yours,
