W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Lenders provide credit to the Borrower, and the Lenders are willing to do so on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED THAT in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS

1.1 Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the terms listed in this Section 1.1 shall have the respective meanings set forth in this Section 1.1.

“ABR”: for any day, a rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to the greatest of (a) the Base Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus ¹/2 of 1% and (c) the Eurodollar Base Rate for Eurodollar Loans with a one-month Interest Period commencing on such day plus the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans. For purposes hereof, “Base Rate” shall mean the rate of interest per annum publicly announced from time to time by the Administrative Agent as its base rate in effect at its principal office in New York City (the Base Rate not being intended to be the lowest rate of interest charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with extensions of credit to debtors). Any change in the ABR due to a change in the Base Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Eurodollar Base Rate shall be effective as of the opening of business on the effective day of such change in the Base Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Eurodollar Base Rate, respectively.

“ABR Loans”: Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the ABR.

“Act”: as defined in Section 10.16.

“Administrative Agent”: as defined in the preamble hereto.

“Agents”: the collective reference to the Syndication Agents, the Co-Documentation Agents and the Administrative Agent.

“Agreement”: as defined in the preamble hereto.

“Applicable Margin”: for any day, the applicable rate per annum set forth under the relevant column heading below, based upon the Ratings then in effect:

3	BBB+/Baa1	0.175%	1.175%
4	BBB/Baa2	0.250%	1.250%
5	BBB-/Baa3	0.450%	1.450%
6	Lower than BBB-/Baa3	0.600%	1.600%

Subject to the provisions of this paragraph regarding split ratings, changes in the Applicable Margins shall become effective on the date on which S&P and/or Moody’s changes its relevant Rating. In the event the Ratings of S&P and Moody’s are in different levels set forth in the grid above, the higher of the two Ratings (i.e., the Rating set forth in the grid above opposite the lower numerical level number) shall govern. In the event that, at any time, a Rating is not available from one of such rating agencies, the Applicable Margins shall be determined on the basis of the Rating from the other rating agency. In the event that, at any time, Ratings from each such rating agency are not available for companies generally, the Applicable Margins shall be determined on the basis of the last Rating(s) made available. In the event that, at any time, such Ratings are not available for the Borrower but are generally available for other companies, then the Applicable Margins shall be those set forth above opposite level 6.

(d) If any bank, financial institution or other entity becomes a New Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to Section 2.3(b) or any Lender’s Commitment is increased pursuant to Section 2.3(c), additional Revolving Loans made on or after the effectiveness thereof (the “Revolving Credit Re-Allocation Date”) shall be made pro rata based on the Percentages in effect on and after such Revolving Credit Re-Allocation Date (except to the extent that any such pro rata borrowings would result in any Lender making an aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans in excess of its Commitment, in which case such excess amount will be allocated to, and made by, such New Revolving Credit Lenders and/or Lenders with such increased Commitments to the extent of, and pro rata based on, their respective Commitments otherwise available for Revolving Loans), and continuations of Eurodollar Loans outstanding on such Revolving Credit Re-Allocation Date shall be effected by repayment of such Eurodollar Loans on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and the making of new Eurodollar Loans pro rata based on such new Percentages. In the event that on any such Revolving Credit Re-Allocation Date there is an unpaid principal amount of ABR Loans, the Borrower shall make prepayments thereof and borrowings of ABR Loans so that, after giving effect thereto, the ABR Loans outstanding are held pro rata based on such new Percentages.

covering such matters as are customary for transactions of this type as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, which opinions shall be substantially the same, to the extent appropriate, as the opinions rendered by counsel to the Borrower on the Effective Date and (ii) certified copies of resolutions of the board of directors of the Borrower authorizing the Borrower to borrow the Revolving Credit Offered Increase Amount.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender agrees to make a portion of the credit otherwise available to the Borrower under the Commitments from time to time on or after the Effective Date during the Commitment Period by making swingline loans (“Swingline Loans”) to the Borrower; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect (notwithstanding that the Swingline Loans outstanding at any time, when aggregated with the Swingline Lender’s other outstanding Revolving Loans, may exceed the Swingline Commitment or the Swingline Lender’s Commitment then in effect) and (ii) the Borrower shall not request, and the Swingline Lender shall not make, any Swingline Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such Swingline Loan, the aggregate amount of the Available Commitments would be less than zero. During the Commitment Period, the Borrower may use the Swingline Commitment by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Swingline Loans shall be ABR Loans only.

(b) The Borrower shall repay to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on or prior to the date that is the earlier of (i) 7 days after the date such Swingline Loan is made and (ii) the Termination Date; provided that on each date on which a Revolving Loan is borrowed, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.

2.5 Procedure for Swingline Borrowing; Refunding of Swingline Loans.

(a) Whenever the Borrower wishes to borrow Swingline Loans, it shall give the Swingline Lender irrevocable telephonic notice confirmed promptly in writing (which telephonic notice must be received by the Swingline Lender not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day during the Commitment Period). Each borrowing under the Swingline Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $100,000 or a whole multiple thereof. Not later than 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date specified in a notice in respect of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the Swingline Loan to be made by the Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the Borrower on such Borrowing Date by depositing such proceeds in the account of the Borrower with the Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date in immediately available funds.

(b) The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), on one Business Day’s notice given by the Swingline Lender no later

than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, request each Lender to make, and each Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Loan, in an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”) outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swingline Lender. Each Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office in immediately available funds, not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, one Business Day after the date of such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender for application by the Swingline Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to charge the Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative Agent (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the amount of such Refunded Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swingline Loans.

(c) If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.5(b), one of the events described in Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swingline Lender in its sole discretion, Revolving Loans may not be made as contemplated by Section 2.5(b), each Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.5(b), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swingline Loans by paying to the Swingline Lender an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such Lender’s Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding that were to have been repaid with such Revolving Loans.

(d) Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Lender such Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of the Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swingline Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swingline Lender.

(e) Each Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.5(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.5(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower or any other Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

2.6 Facility Fees, Etc.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender to the extent provided in Section 2.20) a facility fee for the period from and including the date hereof to the last day of the Commitment Period, computed at the Facility Fee Rate on the Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. In addition, if the principal amount of any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligations shall remain outstanding and unpaid after the last day of the Commitment Period, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a facility fee for the period from the last day of the Commitment Period until the date on which such amounts are repaid in full, computed at the Facility Fee Rate on such amounts, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date, commencing on the first such date after the last day of the Commitment Period.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in any written, duly executed fee agreements with the Administrative Agent and to perform any other obligations contained therein.

2.7 Termination or Reduction of Commitments; Extension of Termination Date.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Commitments then in effect.

(b) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (such notice being an “Extension Notice”) given no more frequently than once in each calendar year, on not more than two occasions, request the Lenders to consider an extension of the then applicable Termination Date to a later date, which extension shall not exceed one year in each instance. The Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit any Extension Notice to each Lender. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent whether it wishes to extend the then applicable Termination Date not later than 30 days after the date of such Extension Notice, and any such notice given by a Lender to the Administrative Agent, once given, shall be irrevocable as to such Lender. Any Lender which does not expressly notify the Administrative Agent prior to the expiration of such thirty-day period that it wishes to so extend the then applicable Termination Date shall be deemed to have rejected the Borrower’s request for extension of such Termination Date. Lenders consenting to extend the then applicable Termination Date are hereinafter referred to as “Continuing Lenders”, and Lenders declining to consent to extend such Termination Date (or Lenders deemed to have so declined) are hereinafter referred to as “Non-Extending Lenders”. If the Required Lenders have elected (in their sole and absolute discretion) to so extend the Termination Date, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of such election by the Required Lenders, and effective on the date which is 30 days after the date of such notice by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, the Termination Date shall be automatically and

immediately so extended with regard to the Continuing Lenders. No extension will be permitted hereunder without the consent of the Required Lenders. Upon the delivery of an Extension Notice and upon the extension of the Termination Date pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted on and as of the date of such Extension Notice and the effective date of such extension, as the case may be, that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation to extend the Termination Date, and each Lender may at its option, unconditionally and without cause, decline to extend the Termination Date.

(c) If the Termination Date shall have been extended in accordance with this Section, all references herein to the “Termination Date” (except with respect to any Non-Extending Lender) shall refer to the Termination Date as so extended.

(d) If any Lender shall determine (or be deemed to have determined) not to extend the Termination Date as requested by any Extension Notice given by the Borrower pursuant to this Section, the Commitment of such Non-Extending Lender (including the obligations of such Lender under Section 2.5 and 3.4 and, if such Non-Extending Lender is also an Issuing Lender, the obligation of such Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 3) shall terminate on the Termination Date without giving any effect to such proposed extension, and the Borrower shall on such date pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Non-Extending Lender, the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, such Non-Extending Lender’s Loans and outstanding Reimbursement Obligations, together with any amounts payable to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 and any and all fees or other amounts owing to such Non-Extending Lender under this Agreement (including, if such Non-Extending Lender is an Issuing Lender, such accrued fronting fees as may have been agreed between the Borrower and such Issuing Lender); provided that if the Borrower has replaced such Non-Extending Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) below then the provisions of such paragraph shall apply. The Total Commitments (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, except as hereinafter provided, the L/C Commitment) shall be reduced by the amount of the Commitment of such Non-Extending Lender to the extent the Commitment of such Non-Extending Lender has not been transferred to one or more Continuing Lenders pursuant to paragraph (e) below, provided that, if the Total Commitments, after giving effect to the reduction in the Total Commitments due to Non-Extending Lenders which are not replaced pursuant to paragraph (e) below, is less than the L/C Commitment, the L/C Commitment shall be reduced by an amount equal to such excess.

(e) A Non-Extending Lender shall be obligated, at the request of the Borrower and subject to (i) payment by the successor Lender described below to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Non-Extending Lender of the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, such Non-Extending Lender’s Loans, and (ii) payment by the Borrower to such Non-Extending Lender of any amounts payable to such Non-Extending Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 (as if the purchase of such Non-Extending Lender’s Loans constituted a prepayment thereof) and any and all fees or other amounts owing to such Non-Extending Lender under this Agreement (including, if such Non-Extending Lender is an Issuing Lender, such accrued fronting fees as may have been agreed between the Borrower and such Issuing Lender), to transfer without recourse, representation, warranty (other than a representation that such Lender has not created an adverse claim on its Loans) or expense to such Non-Extending Lender, at any time prior to the

Termination Date applicable to such Non-Extending Lender, all of such Non-Extending Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder to another financial institution or group of financial institutions nominated by the Borrower and willing to participate as a successor Lender in the place of such Non-Extending Lender; provided that, if such transferee is not already a Lender, (1) such transferee satisfies all the requirements of this Agreement, and (2) the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender that is a Continuing Lender shall have consented to such transfer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Each such transferee successor Lender shall be deemed to be a Continuing Lender hereunder in replacement of the transferor Non-Extending Lender and shall enjoy all rights and assume all obligations on the part of such Non-Extending Lender set forth in this Agreement. Each such transfer shall be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption.

(f) If the Termination Date shall have been extended in respect of Continuing Lenders in accordance with this Section, any notice of borrowing pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.5 specifying a Borrowing Date occurring after the Termination Date applicable to a Non-Extending Lender or requesting an Interest Period extending beyond such date shall (i) have no effect in respect of such Non-Extending Lender and (ii) not specify a requested aggregate principal amount exceeding the aggregate Available Commitments (calculated on the basis of the Commitments of the Continuing Lenders).

2.8 Optional Prepayments.

(a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, three Business Days prior thereto, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, one Business Day prior thereto, in the case of ABR Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans; provided, that if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.17. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans and Swingline Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Revolving Loans which shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Partial prepayments of Swingline Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple thereof.

(b) If a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender at a time when Swingline Loans are outstanding and such occurrence results in the existence of Fronting Exposure in respect of such Swingline Loans, then the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within three Business Days), prepay Loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate such Fronting Exposure arising from the existence of Swingline Loans. Except for the mandatory nature thereof, any prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.8(b) shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.8(a); provided that such prepayment may be in the amount needed to eliminate the Fronting Exposure arising from the existence of Swingline Loans.

2.9 Conversion and Continuation Options.

(a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date, provided that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no ABR Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Required Lenders have determined in their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(b) Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Required Lenders have determined in their sole discretion not to permit such continuations, and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

2.10 Limitations on Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurodollar Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than 15 Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

2.11 Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

(a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a default rate per annum equal to (x) in the

case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to ABR Loans plus 2%, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any facility fee, letter of credit fee, or any other fee payable (excluding any expenses or other indemnity) hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a default rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans plus 2%, in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.

2.12 Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to ABR Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Base Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall constitute prima facie evidence of such amounts. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower or any Lender, deliver to the Borrower or such Lender a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.11(a).

2.13 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar

Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans to Eurodollar Loans.

2.14 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments; Notes.

(a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Percentages of the Lenders.

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Lenders. Each payment in respect of Reimbursement Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit shall be made to the Issuing Lender that issued such Letters of Credit.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, Reimbursement Obligations, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 4:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders, as applicable, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of

the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans from the Borrower within 30 days after written demand therefor.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

(f) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note (a “Note”) of the Borrower evidencing any Revolving Loans of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit H, with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount; provided, that delivery of Notes shall not be a condition precedent to the occurrence of the Effective Date or the making of Loans on the Effective Date.

(g) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 3.4 or 2.14(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

2.15 Change of Law.

(a) If a Change of Law shall:

(i) subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Application or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes covered by Section 2.16 and net income taxes and franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes);

(ii) impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate, which requirements are generally applicable to advances, loans and other extensions of credit made by such Lender; or

(iii) impose on such Lender any other condition that is generally applicable to loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, within ten Business Days after its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled; provided, however, that no Lender shall be entitled to demand such compensation more than 90 days following (x) the last day of the Interest Period in respect of which such demand is made or (y) the repayment of the Loan or Swingline Loan in respect of which such demand is made, and no Issuing Lender shall be entitled to demand such compensation more than 90 days following the expiration or termination (by drawing or otherwise) of the Letter of Credit issued by it in respect of which such demand is made.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that a Change of Law shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or the capital of any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction.

(c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall constitute prima facie evidence of such costs or amounts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect not to exceed twelve months. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive for 90 days after the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts then due and payable hereunder.

2.16 Taxes.

(a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding (i) net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document) and (ii) any branch profits tax imposed by the United States. If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section or (ii) that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of any original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure.

(d) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit G and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly

executed by such Non U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver; provided, however, if any Non-U.S. Lender fails to file forms with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, with the Lender from which the related participation was purchased) on or before the date the Non-U.S. Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchased the related participation) entitling the Non-U.S. Lender to a complete exemption from United States withholding taxes at such time, such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to receive any increased payments from the Borrower with respect to United States withholding taxes under paragraph (a) of this Section, except to the extent that the Non-U.S. Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of the assignment to the Non-U.S. Lender, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to United States withholding taxes.

(e) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. 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 or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender.

(f) If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(g) The agreements in this Section shall survive for one year after the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.17 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss (other than the loss of Applicable Margin) or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive for 90 days after the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.18 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.15 or 2.16(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole but reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no unreimbursed economic disadvantage or any legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.16(a).

2.19 Replacement of Lenders. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests (on its behalf or any of its Participants) reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.16(a) or (b) becomes a Defaulting Lender, with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.18 which eliminates the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.16(a), (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.17 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.16(a), as the case may be, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

2.20 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(a) any payment of principal or other amounts (other than those described in Section 2.20(b)) received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 7 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.7), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Swingline Lender and any Issuing Lender hereunder; third, if so requested by the Swingline Lender if Swingline loans are outstanding or any Issuing Lender with a Letter of Credit outstanding or with unreimbursed drawings owing under a Letter of Credit, to be held as cash collateral in respect of such Defaulting Lender’s Percentage of such Swingline Loans and L/C Obligations; fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swingline Loan or L/C Obligations; fifth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; sixth, if so determined by the Borrower with the consent of the Administrative Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; seventh, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; eighth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and ninth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans and unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of that Defaulting Lender or participating interests of that Defaulting Lender in unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.20(a) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto;

(b) that Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive (i) any facility fee pursuant to Section 2.6(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to the sum of (1) the outstanding principal amount of Loans funded by it and (2) the principal amount of the Swingline Loans and the Percentage of L/C Obligations for which it has provided cash collateral pursuant to 2.20(a) (and the Borrower shall (x) be required to pay to the Swingline Lender and Issuing Lenders with Letters of Credit outstanding, as applicable, the amount of such fee allocable to its fronting of Extensions of Credit arising from that Defaulting Lender and (y) not be required to pay the remaining amount of such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (ii) interest on Loans and Participation Amounts funded by such Lender prior to the period in which such Lender became a Defaulting Lender or during the period in which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender;

(c) during any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.5 and Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 3.4, the Percentage of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Swingline Loans and L/C Obligations shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate outstanding Loans of that Lender and that Lender’s Percentage of L/C Obligations;

(d) if the reallocation described in paragraph (c) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to paragraph (c) above) deposit cash with the Administrative Agent as collateral to secure such Defaulting Lender’s Percentage of any outstanding L/C Obligations for so long as any such L/C Obligation are outstanding; and

(e) that Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.1.

If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender and each Issuing Lender reasonably determine in writing that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans and Participation Amounts of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.20(c)), whereupon that

Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Cash collateral held by the Administrative Agent to reduce Fronting Exposure shall be released to the applicable Lender promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 9.6)); (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess cash collateral; and (iii) the termination of the Commitment Period and the repayment in full of all outstanding Loans and L/C Obligations.

SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT

3.1 L/C Commitment.

(a) From and after the Effective Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, constitute a Letter of Credit hereunder. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue standby and commercial letters of credit; provided, however, that The Royal Bank of Scotland plc shall not be required to issue commercial letters of credit (the letters of credit issued on and after the Effective Date pursuant to this Section 3 together with the Existing Letters of Credit, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”), for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day on or after the Effective Date and during the Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided, that no Issuing Lender shall issue, amend, extend or renew any Letter of Credit (and no Existing Letter of Credit may become a Letter of Credit hereunder) if, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, extension or renewal, (i) the aggregate amount of L/C Obligations owed by the Borrower to any Issuing Lender shall exceed the amount of such Issuing Lender’s L/C Pro Rata Share of the L/C Commitment (or such higher amount agreed upon in writing between the Borrower and such Issuing Lender); provided that the L/C Obligations owed by the Borrower to the Existing Issuing Lender in respect of the Existing Letters of Credit may exceed the Existing Issuing Lender’s L/C Pro Rata Share of the L/C Commitment, (ii) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment and (iii) the aggregate amount of the Available Commitments would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date which is five Business Days prior to the Termination Date; provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above).

(b) No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue, amend, extend or renew any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance, amendment, extension or renewal would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.

(c) Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

(d) For all purposes of this Agreement, if on any date of determination, a Letter of Credit has expired by its terms but any amount may still be drawn thereunder by reason of the operation of Rule 3.14 of the ISP, such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be “outstanding” in the amount so remaining available to be drawn.

3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower may from time to time request that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may request. Concurrently with the delivery of an Application to an Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall deliver a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall provide notice of such request to the Lenders. Upon receipt of any Application, an Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by such Issuing Lender and the Borrower (but in no event shall any Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto). Promptly after issuance by an Issuing Lender of a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower. Each Issuing Lender shall promptly give notice to the Administrative Agent of the issuance of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (including the amount thereof), and shall provide a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Administrative Agent as soon as possible after the date of issuance. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by an L/C Issuer and the Borrower, when a Letter of Credit is issued (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

3.3 Fees and Other Charges.

(a) The Borrower will pay a fee on the aggregate drawable amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans, shared ratably among the Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders to the extent provided in Section 2.20) in accordance with their respective Percentages and payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the relevant Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee on the aggregate drawable amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued in an amount to be agreed between the

Borrower and such Issuing Lender, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.

(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending, renewing or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.

3.4 L/C Participations.

(a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce each Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from each Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Percentage in each Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender upon demand at such Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Lender) an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. Each L/C Participant’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant may have against the Issuing Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower or any other L/C Participant or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(b) If any amount (a “Participation Amount”) required to be paid by any L/C Participant to an Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is not paid to such Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify the L/C Participants, and each L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Lender, on demand (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Lender) an amount equal to the product of (i) such Participation Amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any Participation Amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the

Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such Participation Amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted on behalf of an Issuing Lender to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Whenever, at any time after an Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from the Administrative Agent any L/C Participant’s pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will distribute to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Participant (and thereafter the Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to such L/C Participant) its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender (and thereafter the Administrative Agent shall promptly return to such Issuing Lender) the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender.

3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender on (i) the Business Day on which the Borrower receives notice from an Issuing Lender of a draft drawn on a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender and paid by such Issuing Lender, if such notice is received on such Business Day prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, or (ii) if clause (i) above does not apply, the Business Day immediately following the day on which the Borrower receives such notice, for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment which are obligations of the Borrower hereunder (the amounts described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) in respect of any drawing, collectively, the “Payment Amount”). Each such payment shall be made to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on each Payment Amount from the date of the applicable drawing until payment in full at the rate set forth in (i) until the second Business Day following the date of the applicable drawing, Section 2.11(b) and (ii) thereafter, Section 2.11(c). Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an event of the type described in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Borrower, in which case the procedures specified in Section 3.4 for funding by L/C Participants shall apply) constitute a request by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.1 of ABR Loans (or, at the option of the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender in their sole discretion, a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.4 of Swingline Loans) in the amount of such drawing. The Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the first date on which a borrowing of Revolving Loans (or, if applicable, Swingline Loans) could be made, pursuant to Section 2.1 (or, if applicable, Section 2.4), if the Administrative Agent had received a notice of such borrowing at the time the Administrative Agent receives notice from the relevant Issuing Lender of such drawing under such Letter of Credit.

3.6 Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against any Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person; other than with respect to any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it or the related drafts or documents found in a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct or not in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York. The Borrower also agrees with each Issuing Lender that such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions which resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender as determined in a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards or care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York as determined in a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender to the Borrower.

3.7 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the relevant Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, shall be limited, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct or failure to act in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment appear on their face to be in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

3.8 Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.

3.9 Actions of Issuing Lenders. Each Issuing Lender shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by such Issuing Lender. Each Issuing Lender

shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it reasonably deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, as between the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders, each Issuing Lender shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Lenders and any future holders of a participation in any Letter of Credit.

3.10 Borrower’s Indemnification. The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, each Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent, and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees from and against any and all claims and damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which such Lender, such Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent may incur (or which may be claimed against such Lender, such Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent by any Person whatsoever) by reason of or in connection with the issuance, execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or failure to pay under any Letter of Credit or any actual or proposed use of any Letter of Credit, including, without limitation, any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which such Issuing Lender may incur by reason of or in connection with (i) the failure of any other Lender to fulfill or comply with its obligations to an Issuing Lender hereunder (but nothing herein contained shall affect any rights the Borrower may have against any Defaulting Lender) or (ii) by reason of or on account of an Issuing Lender issuing any Letter of Credit which specifies that the term “Beneficiary” included therein includes any successor by operation of law of the named Beneficiary, but which Letter of Credit does not require that any drawing by any such successor Beneficiary be accompanied by a copy of a legal document, satisfactory to such Issuing Lender, evidencing the appointment of such successor Beneficiary; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Lender, any Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (x) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Issuing Lender in determining whether a request presented under any Letter of Credit complied with the terms of such Letter of Credit and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York as determined in a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (y) such Issuing Lender’s failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit.

SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, on the Effective Date and, except as provided in Section 5.2(a), on the date of each Credit Event hereunder after the Effective Date, that:

4.1 Financial Condition. The audited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statement of operations and cash flows for the fiscal year ended on such date, reported on by Deloitte & Touche LLP, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the respective fiscal year then ended. All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved.

4.3 Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of the Borrower and its Significant Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, (b) has the corporate power and corporate authority to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other organization and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification except to the extent that the failure to so qualify could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except for any Requirements of Law being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.4 Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. The Borrower has the corporate power and corporate authority to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents and to obtain extensions of credit hereunder. The Borrower has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents and to authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the extensions of credit hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents (other than the Indenture), except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices

which have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) any consent, authorization or filing that may be required in the future the failure of which to make or obtain could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (iii) applicable regulatory requirements (including the approval of the CPUC) prior to foreclosure under the Indenture. This Agreement has been, and each other Loan Document upon execution and delivery will be, duly executed and delivered. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by (x) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, laws of general application related to the enforceability of securities secured by real estate and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law) and (y) applicable regulatory requirements (including the approval of the CPUC) prior to foreclosure under the Indenture.

4.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate in any material respect any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of the Borrower or any of its Significant Subsidiaries and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Indenture).

4.6 Litigation. (a) No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened in writing by or against the Borrower or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or against any of their material respective properties or revenues with respect to any of the Loan Documents.

(b) No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened in writing by or against the Borrower or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or against any of their material respective properties or revenues, except as disclosed in the Specified Exchange Act Filings, that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

No tax Liens have been filed against the Borrower or any of its Significant Subsidiaries other than (A) Liens for taxes which are not delinquent or (B) Liens for taxes which are being contested in good faith by

appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Borrower or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, as applicable.

4.9 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used for “buying” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any purpose that violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board.

4.10 ERISA. No Reportable Event has occurred during the five year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan, and each Plan has complied with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code, except, in each case, to the extent that any such Reportable Event or failure to comply with the applicable provisions of ERISA or the Code could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. During the five year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, there has been no (i) failure to make a required contribution to any Plan that would result in the imposition of a lien or other encumbrance or the provision of security under Section 430 of the Code or Section 303 or 4068 of ERISA, or the arising of such a lien or encumbrance; or (ii) “unpaid minimum required contribution” or “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined or otherwise set forth in Section 4971 of the Code or Part 3 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA), whether or not waived, except, in each case, to the extent that such event could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year period. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits, except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan during the five year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability under ERISA, and neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any liability under ERISA if the Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent.

4.11 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. The Borrower is not an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. On the date hereof, the Borrower is not subject to regulation under any Requirement of Law (other than (a) Regulation X of the Board and (b) Sections 817-830, and Sections 701 and 851 of the California Public Utilities Code) that limits its ability to incur Indebtedness under this Agreement.

4.12 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans, the Swingline Loans and the Letters of Credit shall be used (i) to refinance any debt outstanding under the Existing 2007 Credit Agreement and the Existing 2010 Credit Agreement, (ii) for working capital purposes and

(iii) for general corporate purposes, including commercial paper back-up and to support liquidity requirements associated with the Borrower’s energy procurement hedging activities.

4.13 Environmental Matters. Except as disclosed in the Specified Exchange Act Filings, the Borrower and its Significant Subsidiaries do not have liabilities under Environmental Laws or relating to Materials of Environmental Concern that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, there are no facts, circumstances or conditions that could reasonably be expected to give rise to such liabilities.

4.14 Regulatory Matters. Solely by virtue of the execution, delivery and performance of, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, no Lender shall be or become subject to regulation (a) under the FPA or (b) as a “public utility” or “public service corporation” or the equivalent under any Requirement of Law.

With respect to all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall at such time deposit in an interest-bearing cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit. Amounts held in such interest-bearing cash collateral account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such interest-bearing cash collateral account shall be returned to the Borrower (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto). Except as expressly provided above in this Section, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.

SECTION 9. THE AGENTS

9.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.

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

9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found

by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement (other than (in the case of the Administrative Agent only) to confirm receipt of the deliverables required pursuant to Section 5.1) or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower.

9.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

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

9.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any of its affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any of its affiliates that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates.

9.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

9.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the

same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

9.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

9.10 Co-Documentation Agents and Syndication Agents. None of the Co-Documentation Agents or the Syndication Agents shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such.

SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1. The Required Lenders and the Borrower may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Borrower hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall:

(i) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Required Lenders)) or extend the

scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (except that only the Lenders who are increasing their Commitments are required to consent to a request by the Borrower under Section 2.3 to increase the Total Commitments);

(ii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 10.1 or Section 10.6(a)(i) without the written consent of such Lender;

(iii) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders without the written consent of all Lenders;

(iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.14 related to pro rata treatment without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(v) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9 without the written consent of the Administrative Agent;

(vi) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.4 or 2.5 without the written consent of the Swingline Lender;

(vii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 5.1 without the consent of all the Lenders; or

(viii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3 or any other provision affecting the Issuing Lenders in their capacity as such without the written consent of each Issuing Lender affected thereby.

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

If the Required Lenders shall have approved any amendment which requires the consent of all of the Lenders, the Borrower shall be permitted to replace any non-consenting Lender with another financial institution, provided that, (i) the replacement financial institution shall purchase at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (ii) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.17 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto (as if such purchase constituted a prepayment of such Loans), (iii) such replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender, (iv) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred

to therein) and (v) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (i) (x) an increase or extension of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, or (y) any reduction of the amount of principal or interest owed to such Defaulting Lender (unless all non-Defaulting Lenders have agreed to a pro rata reduction) shall, in each case, require the consent of such Defaulting Lender, and (ii) a Defaulting Lender’s Percentage shall be taken into consideration along with the Percentage of non-Defaulting Lenders when voting to approve or disapprove any waiver, amendment or modification that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders.

Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Significant Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Significant Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee.

10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of the Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 10.6.

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

(A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Eligible Assignee that is an affiliate of any Lender party to this Agreement on the Effective Date or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Person;

(B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender (or an affiliate of a Lender) with a Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment;

(D) each Issuing Lender.

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Eligible Assignee that is an affiliate of any Lender party to this Agreement on the Effective Date or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000 (or, if such assignee is an Eligible Assignee that is an affiliate of a Lender, $5,000,000) unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) with respect to any Lender party to this Agreement on the Effective Date, such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of such Lender and any affiliate of such Lender that is an Eligible Assignee;

(B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, except that no such processing fee shall be payable in the case of an assignee which is an affiliate of a Lender; and

(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire.

In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans and L/C Obligations previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit in accordance with its Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.5 but shall be subject to the limitations set forth therein). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 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 Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, each Issuing Lender and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(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. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Lender, 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 Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender 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. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 10.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent to such greater payments. Any Participant that is a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless such Participant complies with Section 2.16(d).

(d) 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.

(e) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above.

(e) Such other instruments, corporate records, certificates and other documents as we have deemed necessary as a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed.

The Agreement and any Note executed and delivered by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Agreement are collectively referred to herein as the “Operative Documents.”

Opinions

Based on the foregoing, having regard for the legal considerations that we deem relevant, and subject to the qualifications, assumptions and exceptions stated herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Company (a) is validly existing and in good standing as a corporation under the laws of the State of California, (b) has the corporate power and corporate authority to execute and deliver the Operative Documents and perform its obligations thereunder and (c) has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Operative Documents.

2. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Operative Documents and its compliance with the provisions of the Operative Documents (a) will not conflict with or result in any violation of (i) the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, or (ii) assuming that the proceeds of extensions of credit will be used in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, any applicable Federal, California or New York statute or any rule or regulation issued pursuant to any applicable Federal, California or New York statute, including, without limitation, the California Public Utilities Code (“Applicable Laws”), or any order known to us issued pursuant to any Applicable Law by any Federal, California or New York court or governmental agency or body that we have in the exercise of customary professional diligence recognized as having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties (“Applicable Governmental Authority”) and (b) will not breach, result in a default under or result in the creation of any lien upon or security interest in the Company’s properties pursuant to the terms of any agreement, indenture or other instrument to which the Company is a party that will be in effect after the date hereof and has been filed pursuant to Section 601(b)(4) or Section 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K as exhibits to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, or subsequently executed agreements, indentures or other instruments that would have been included within Section 601(b)(4) or Section 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K as of the date hereof (“Contractual Obligations”).

3. No consent, approval, authorization, order, filing, registration or qualification of or with any Applicable Governmental Authority (“Governmental Action”) is required for the execution and delivery by the Company of the Operative Documents or the compliance by the Company with the provisions of the Operative Documents, except for any Governmental Actions that have been obtained, filed or made and remain in full force and effect.

4. The Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms under New York law.

5. The Company is not an “investment company” within the meaning of, and subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

6. The execution and delivery by the Company of the Operative Documents and performance of its obligations thereunder will not (i) conflict with or result in any violation of the Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 791a et. seq., as amended (“Federal Power Act”), the Natural Gas Act of 1938, 15 U.S.C. 1717 et. seq., as amended (the “Natural Gas Act”) or the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended (“PUHCA”) or (ii) require any consent, approval, authorization, order, filing, registration or qualification under the Federal Power Act, the Natural Gas Act or PUHCA.

Negative Assurance

In addition, we advise you supplementally as a matter of fact and not opinion that based solely upon certifications contained in a certificate executed by an officer of the Company, except to the extent set forth in such certificate, to our knowledge, there are no pending or overtly threatened actions or proceedings against the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries before any Applicable Governmental Authority that purport to affect the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of the Operative Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.

Assumptions, Qualifications and Exceptions

In rendering these opinions, we have, with your permission, assumed the following: (i) the authenticity of original documents and the genuineness of all signatures, and the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies and the due execution and delivery by the indicated officers of any documents submitted to us as unexecuted; (ii) the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information, representations and warranties contained in the records, documents, instruments and certificates we have reviewed; (iii) the due organization, valid existence and good standing of the parties to the Operative Documents other than the Company; (iv) the due authorization, execution and delivery of each Operative Document by each party thereto other than the Company; (v) the binding effect of the Operative Documents on, and the enforceability of the Operative Documents against, each party to the Operative Documents other than the Company; (vi) the absence of any evidence extrinsic to the provisions of the written agreements among the parties that the parties intended a meaning contrary to that expressed by those provisions; and (vii) there has not been any mutual mistake of fact, fraud, duress or undue influence. In rendering our opinion in paragraph 2 above with respect to Contractual Obligations, we have assumed that the governing law (exclusive of California or New York laws relating to conflicts of laws) of each Contractual Obligation is California or New York; and we have not reviewed the covenants in the Contractual Obligations that contain financial ratios or other similar financial restrictions, and no opinion is provided with respect thereto.

Certain Limitations and Qualifications

Whenever a statement herein is qualified by the phrases “known to us” or “to our knowledge,” it is intended to indicate that, during the course of our representation on behalf of the Company in this transaction, no information that would give us current actual knowledge of the inaccuracy of such statement has come to the attention of the attorneys presently in the firm who have rendered legal service in connection with our representation of the Company in this transaction. However, we have not undertaken any independent investigation or review to determine the accuracy of any such statement, and any limited inquiry undertaken by us during the preparation of this opinion letter should not be regarded as such an investigation or review; no inference as to our knowledge of any matters bearing on the accuracy of any such statement should be drawn from the fact of our representation on behalf of the Company in this transaction.

Our opinion in paragraph 1(a) that the Company is in good standing is based solely upon our review of the Good Standing Certificate.

Our opinions are limited to the laws of the State of California, the State of New York and the federal laws of the United States. We express no opinion as to whether the laws of any particular jurisdiction apply, and no opinion to the extent that the laws of any jurisdiction other than those identified above are applicable to the agreements or the transactions contemplated thereby. We have relied solely on a certificate executed by an officer of the Company for purposes of determining which subsequently executed agreements, indentures or other instruments would have been included within Section 601(b)(4) or Section 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K as of the date hereof as referenced in our opinion in paragraph 2 above.

Our opinion that any document is valid, binding or enforceable in accordance with its terms is qualified as to:

(a) the effect of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally (including, without limitation, the effect of statutory or other laws regarding fraudulent or preferential transfers);

(b) limitations upon indemnification and contribution rights which may be imposed by applicable law and equitable principles;

(c) the unenforceability under certain circumstances of provisions imposing penalties, forfeiture, late payment charges or an increase in interest rate upon delinquency in payment or the occurrence of any event of default;

(d) general principles of equity, regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the effect of such principles on the possible unavailability of the remedy of specific performance of an obligation, injunctive relief or the appointment of a receiver;

(e) the unenforceability under certain circumstances of provisions expressly or by implication waiving broadly or vaguely stated rights, the benefits of statutory or

Exhibits

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

Pacific and Electric Company

constitutional provisions, unknown future rights, defenses to obligations or rights granted by law, where such waivers are against public policy or prohibited by law; and

(f) the unenforceability under certain circumstances of provisions to the effect that rights or remedies are not exclusive, that every right or remedy is cumulative and may be exercised in addition to or with any other right or remedy or the election of some particular right or remedy does not preclude recourse to one or more other rights or remedies.

Use of Opinion

This opinion letter is solely for your benefit in connection with the transaction covered in the first paragraph of this opinion letter and may not be relied upon or used by, circulated, quoted or referred to, nor may copies hereof be delivered to, any other person without our prior written approval, except that copies of this opinion letter may be furnished to independent auditors and legal counsel in connection with their providing advice regarding such transaction and to appropriate regulatory authorities or pursuant to an order or legal process of any relevant governmental authority and to your permitted successors and assigns and prospective successors and assigns. We disclaim any obligation to update this opinion letter for events occurring or coming to our attention after the date hereof. At your request, we hereby consent to reliance hereon by your successors or assigns pursuant to the Agreement, on the condition and understanding that (i) this letter speaks only as of the date hereof, (ii) we have no responsibility or obligation to update this letter, to consider its applicability or correctness to other than its addressees, or to take into account changes in law, facts or any other developments of which we may later become aware, and (iii) any such reliance by a successor or assign must be actual and reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time of assignment, including any changes in law, facts or any other developments known to or reasonably knowable by the successor or assign at such time.

Very truly yours,
