MORGAN SECURITIES INC. and BANC OF AMERICA SECURITIES LLC, as Lead Arrangers and Book Running Managers (all capitalized terms used herein and defined in Section 11 are used herein as therein defined).

W I T N E S S E T H:

          WHEREAS, subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lenders are willing to make available to the Borrowers the respective credit facilities provided for herein;

          NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:

          SECTION 1. Amount and Terms of Credit.

          1.01 The Commitments. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein (including, on and after the initial Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Date, in Section 1.19), (x) each RL Lender severally agrees, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Credit Period for the respective Dollar Revolving Loan Borrower, to make a revolving loan or revolving loans in Dollars to such Dollar Revolving Loan Borrower (each, a “Dollar Revolving Loan” and, collectively, the “Dollar Revolving Loans”) and (y) each Alternate Currency RL Lender with an Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment relating to a given Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche severally agrees, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Credit Period for the respective Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Borrower, to make a revolving loan or revolving loans to such Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Borrower under such Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche in the respective Available Currency elected by such Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Borrower (each, an “Alternate Currency Revolving Loan” and, collectively, the “Alternate Currency Revolving Loans”) (with the revolving loans made to the various Borrowers pursuant to this Section 1.01(a) being herein called a “Revolving Loan” and, collectively, the “Revolving Loans”), which Revolving Loans:

     (i) shall, in the case of Dollar Revolving Loans, at the option of the respective Dollar Revolving Loan Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, provided that except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all Dollar Revolving Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall be of the same Type;

     (ii) shall, in the case of Alternate Currency Revolving Loans, be made and maintained in the respective Available Currency elected by the respective Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Borrower, provided that all Canadian Dollar Revolving Loans shall, at the option of the respective Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Borrower, be made by each Alternate Currency RL Lender with a Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment either by means of (x) Canadian Prime Rate Loans in Canadian Dollars or (y) the creation and discount of Bankers’ Acceptances in Canadian Dollars on the terms and conditions provided for herein and in Schedule III hereto (the terms and conditions of which shall be deemed incorporated by reference into this Agreement);

     (iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof; provided that Revolving Loans incurred and repaid by Starwood REIT may not be reborrowed;

     (iv) shall not, in the case of Alternate Currency Revolving Loans made under a given Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche by any Alternate Currency RL Lender, be made at any time if, at the time of making any such Alternate Currency Revolving Loans and after giving effect thereto, the Individual Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment Credit Exposure of such Alternate Currency RL Lender relating to such Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche would exceed the Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment of such Alternate Currency RL Lender relating to such Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche at such time;

     (v) shall not, in the case of Alternate Currency Revolving Loans made in a given Other Permitted LIBOR-Based Alternate Currency, be made at any time if, at the time of making any such Alternate Currency Revolving Loans and after giving effect thereto, the Aggregate Other Permitted LIBOR-Based Alternate Currency Revolving Credit Exposure relating to such Other Permitted LIBOR-Based Alternate Currency would exceed $35,000,000 at such time;

     (vi) shall not, in the case of Alternate Currency Revolving Loans, be made at any time if, after giving effect thereto, the Aggregate Alternate Currency Credit Exposure would exceed $500,000,000 at such time;

     (vii) shall not, in the case of all Revolving Loans, be made at any time if, after giving effect thereto, (x) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time or (y) the Individual Revolving Credit Exposure of any RL Lender would exceed its Revolving Loan Commitment as then in effect; and

     (viii) shall not, in the case of Dollar Revolving Loans made to Starwood REIT, be made at any time if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of all Dollar Revolving Loans made to Starwood REIT would exceed the Starwood REIT Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Limit.

          (b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make, from time to time on and after the Initial Borrowing Date and

prior to the Swingline Expiry Date, a revolving loan or revolving loans (each, a “Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) to the Corporation, which Swingline Loans (i) shall be made and maintained in Dollars, (ii) shall be made and maintained as Base Rate Loans, (iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof, (iv) shall not be made (or be required to be made) on any date if, after giving effect thereto, (x) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitment as then in effect or (y) the Individual Revolving Credit Exposure of any RL Lender would exceed its Revolving Loan Commitment as then in effect, and (v) shall not exceed in aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding, the Maximum Swingline Amount. The Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swingline Loans at a time when a Lender Default exists unless the Swingline Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it to eliminate the Swingline Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s or Lenders’ participation in such Swingline Loans, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s or Lenders’ Dollar Percentage of the outstanding Swingline Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 1.01(b), the Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan after it has received written notice from any Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders stating that a Default or an Event of Default exists and is continuing until such time as the Swingline Lender shall have received written notice (i) of rescission of all such notices from the party or parties originally delivering such notice, (ii) of the waiver of such Default or Event of Default by the Required Lenders or (iii) that the Administrative Agent in good faith believes such Default or Event of Default has ceased to exist.

          (c) On any Business Day, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, give notice to the Lenders that its outstanding Swingline Loans shall be funded with a Borrowing of Dollar Revolving Loans by the Corporation (provided that such notice shall be deemed to have been automatically given upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 10.05 or upon the exercise of any of the remedies provided in the last paragraph of Section 10). In such case, a Borrowing (or Borrowings) of Dollar Revolving Loans by the Corporation constituting Base Rate Loans (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by all RL Lenders (without giving effect to any reductions thereto pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 10) pro rata based on each Lender’s Dollar Percentage or, if a Sharing Event then exists, pro rata based on each RL Lender’s RL Percentage (in each case determined on such date, but before giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 10) and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly to the Swingline Lender to repay the Swingline Lender for such outstanding Swingline Loans. Each RL Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make Dollar Revolving Loans upon one Business Day’s notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified in writing by the Swingline Lender notwithstanding (i) that the amount of any Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the Minimum Borrowing Amount otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 6 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing and (v) the amount of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time. If any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Corporation), then each such RL Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have

occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Corporation on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such participations in the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause such RL Lenders to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective Dollar Percentages or, if a Sharing Event exists on the date otherwise required above, pro rata based upon their respective RL Percentages (in each case determined before giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 10), provided that (x) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date as of which the respective participation is required to be purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to the participant from and after such date and (y) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing RL Lender shall be required to pay the Swingline Lender interest on the principal amount of the participation purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the respective participation would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first day and at the rate otherwise applicable to Dollar Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans hereunder for each day thereafter.

          (d) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees that any Borrower (other than Starwood REIT) may, in accordance with the procedures established pursuant to Section 1.04, incur a loan or loans (each, a “Competitive Bid Loan” and, collectively, the “Competitive Bid Loans”), denominated in an Available Currency requested by such Borrower, pursuant to a Competitive Bid Borrowing at any time and from time to time on and after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the date which is the Business Day preceding the date which is 30 days prior to the Maturity Date, provided that (i) no Competitive Bid Loan may be made if, after giving effect thereto, the Aggregate Alternate Currency Credit Exposure would exceed $500,000,000 and (ii) no Competitive Bid Loan may be made if, after giving effect thereto, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitment as then in effect. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 1.04 and 6, Competitive Bid Loans may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof.

          1.02 Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing. The aggregate principal amount (or Face Amount, as applicable) of each Borrowing of Loans shall not be less than the respective Minimum Borrowing Amount for the respective Type and Tranche of Loans to be made or maintained pursuant to the respective Borrowing; provided that Mandatory Borrowings shall be made in the amounts required by Section 1.01(c). More than one Borrowing may occur on the same date, but at no time shall there be outstanding more than (i) ten Borrowings of Dollar Revolving Loans maintained as Eurodollar Loans, and (ii) five Borrowings of Alternate Currency Revolving Loans under a given Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche maintained as Euro Rate Loans and/or Bankers’ Acceptance Loans (or, in the case of Other Permitted LIBOR-Based Alternate Currency Revolving Loans incurred in a given Other Permitted LIBOR-Based Alternate Currency, five Borrowings of such Other Permitted LIBOR-Based Alternate Currency Revolving Loans incurred in such Other Permitted LIBOR-Based Alternate Currency).

          1.03 Notice of Borrowing. (a) Whenever a Borrower desires to incur Loans hereunder (excluding (w) Borrowings of Swingline Loans, (x) Borrowings of Revolving Loans incurred pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing, (y) Borrowings of Competitive Bid Loans and (z) Borrowings of Canadian Prime Rate Loans to the extent resulting from automatic conversions of Bankers’ Acceptance Loans as provided in clause (i) of Schedule III), it shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office at least one Business Day’s prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Base Rate Loan or Canadian Prime Rate Loan and at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Euro Rate Loan or Bankers’ Acceptance Loan to be incurred hereunder, provided that any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on a certain day only if given before 12:00 Noon (New York time) on such day. Each such written notice or written confirmation of telephonic notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 1.11, shall be irrevocable and shall be given by the respective Borrower in the form of Exhibit A, appropriately completed to specify (i) the name of such Borrower, (ii) the purpose of such Borrowing, (iii) the aggregate principal amount (or Face Amount, as the case may be) of the Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing (stated in the relevant Available Currency), (iv) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (v) in the case of Dollar Revolving Loans, whether the Dollar Revolving Loans being incurred pursuant to such Borrowing are to be initially maintained as Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, (vi) in the case of Canadian Dollar Revolving Loans, whether the Canadian Dollar Revolving Loans being made pursuant to such Borrowing are to be initially maintained as Canadian Prime Rate Loans or Bankers’ Acceptance Loans and, if Bankers’ Acceptance Loans, the term thereof (which shall comply with the requirements of clause (a) of Schedule III), (vii) in the case of Euro Rate Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, and (viii) in the case of Alternate Currency Revolving Loans, the specific Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche pursuant to which such Alternate Currency Revolving Loans are to be incurred. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender which is required to make Revolving Loans, notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.

          (b) (i) Whenever the Corporation desires to incur Swingline Loans hereunder, it shall give the Swingline Lender not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the date (or, in the case of any Swingline Loan to be incurred on the last Business Day of a calendar quarter, at least one Business Day prior to the date) that a Swingline Loan is to be incurred, written notice or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing of each Swingline Loan to be incurred hereunder. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and specify in each case (A) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (B) the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing.

          (ii) Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 1.01(c), with the Corporation irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of the Mandatory Borrowings by it as set forth in Section 1.01(c).

          (c) Without in any way limiting the obligation of any Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender (in the case of a Borrowing of Swingline Loans) or the respective Issuing Bank (in the case of issuances of Letters of Credit), as the case may be, may act without liability

upon the basis of such telephonic notice, believed by the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of such Borrower (or of the Corporation) prior to receipt of written confirmation. In each such case, each Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s, the Swingline Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice.

          1.04 Competitive Bid Borrowings. (a) Whenever a Borrower desires to incur a Competitive Bid Borrowing, it shall deliver to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York time), at least three Business Days prior to the date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, a written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit B (each, a “Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing”), such notice to specify in each case (i) the date (which shall be a Business Day) of the proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing (stated in the relevant Available Currency), which shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, (iii) the maturity date (each, a “Competitive Bid Loan Maturity Date”) for repayment of each Competitive Bid Loan to be made as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing (which maturity date may not be earlier than seven days after the date of such Competitive Bid Borrowing or later than 360 days after the date of such Competitive Bid Borrowing (but in no event later than the thirtieth day preceding the Maturity Date)), (iv) the interest payment date or dates relating thereto (which shall be at least every three months in the case of maturities in excess of three months), and (v) any other terms to be applicable to such Competitive Bid Borrowing (although all Competitive Bid Borrowings shall be required to be made, and maintained, in an Available Currency). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bidder RL Lender of each such request for a Competitive Bid Borrowing received by it from a Borrower by transmitting (by way of facsimile) to each such Bidder RL Lender a copy of the related Notice of Competitive Bid Borrowing.

          (b) Each Bidder RL Lender shall, if in its sole discretion it elects to do so, irrevocably offer to make one or more Competitive Bid Loans to the respective Borrower as part of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing at a rate or rates of interest specified by such Bidder RL Lender in its sole discretion and determined by such Bidder RL Lender independently of each other Bidder RL Lender, by notifying the Administrative Agent in writing (which notice shall be promptly distributed to the respective Borrower, provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be liable to any Bidder RL Lender or to the respective Borrower for failure to distribute any such notice to the respective Borrower unless such failure resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Administrative Agent (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction)), before 10:00 A.M. (New York time) on the date (the “Reply Date”) which is two Business Days before the date of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing, of the minimum amount, if any, and maximum amount of each Competitive Bid Loan which such Bidder RL Lender would be willing to make as part of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing (which amounts may, subject to the proviso to the first sentence of Section 1.01(d), exceed such RL Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment (and any relevant Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment)), and the rate or rates of interest therefor; provided that if the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Bidder RL Lender shall, in its sole discretion, elect to make any such offer, it shall notify the respective Borrower in writing of such offer before 9:30 A.M. (New York time) on the Reply Date. If any Bidder RL Lender shall elect not to make such an offer, such Bidder RL Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, before

10:00 A.M. (New York time) on the Reply Date, and such Bidder RL Lender shall not be obligated to, and shall not, make any Competitive Bid Loan as part of such Competitive Bid Borrowing; provided that the failure by any Bidder RL Lender to give such notice shall not cause such Bidder RL Lender to be obligated to, and such Bidder RL Lender shall not, make any Competitive Bid Loan as part of such proposed Competitive Bid Borrowing.

Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower a corresponding amount.

At the time it gives any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any Euro Rate Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such Euro Rate Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), the respective Borrower shall have the right to elect, by giving the Administrative Agent notice thereof, the interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) applicable to such Euro Rate Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of such Borrower, be (x) a one, two, three or six month period or, if agreed to by each Lender participating in a Borrowing of such Euro Rate Loan, a one-week period or (y) in the case of a Borrowing of Dollar Revolving Loans, a one-year period if (but only if) agreed to by each Lender participating in such Borrowing, provided that:

     (i) all Euro Rate Loans comprising a single Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period;

     (ii) the initial Interest Period for any Borrowing of Euro Rate Loans shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including, in the case of Dollar Revolving Loans, the date of any conversion thereto from a Dollar Revolving Loan of a different Type) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Borrowing of Euro

Rate Loans shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires;

     (iii) if any Interest Period for a Euro Rate Loan begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

     (iv) if any Interest Period for a Euro Rate Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a Euro Rate Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

     (v) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, no Interest Period may be selected at any time when any Event of Default is in existence; and

     (vi) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of Euro Rate Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the Maturity Date.

          Prior to the termination of any Interest Period applicable to Alternate Currency Revolving Loans, the respective Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Borrower may, at its option, designate that the respective Borrowing subject thereto be split into more than one Borrowing (for purposes of electing multiple Interest Periods to be subsequently applicable thereto), so long as each such Borrowing resulting from the action taken pursuant to this sentence meets the relevant Minimum Borrowing Amount. If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of Euro Rate Loans, the respective Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Euro Rate Loans as provided above, such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected (x) if Eurodollar Loans, to convert such Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans and (y) if Alternate Currency Revolving Loans, to select a one-month Interest Period for such Alternate Currency Revolving Loans, in either case effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

          1.11 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc. (a) If any Lender (or, with respect to clauses (i) and (iv) below, the Administrative Agent) shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):

     (i) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the Effective Date affecting the applicable interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of the respective Euro Rate; or

     (ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Euro Rate Loan because of (x) any change arising after the Effective Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction

of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, for example, but not limited to: (A) a change in the basis of taxation of payment to any Lender of the principal of or interest on the Notes or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or profits of such Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or in which its principal office or applicable lending office is located or any subdivision thereof or therein) or (B) a change in official reserve requirements (except to the extent covered by Section 1.11(d) in respect of Alternate Currency Revolving Loans or included in the computation of the Eurodollar Rate) or any special deposit, assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or its applicable lending office) and/or (y) other circumstances since the Effective Date affecting the applicable interbank market; or

     (iii) at any time after the Effective Date, that the making or continuance of any Euro Rate Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, (y) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any governmental request (whether or not having the force of law) or (z) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the date of this Agreement which materially and adversely affects the applicable interbank market; or

     (iv) at any time that any Alternate Currency is not available in sufficient amounts to fund any Borrowing of Alternate Currency Revolving Loans requested pursuant to Section 1.01;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) or (iv) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone promptly confirmed in writing) to the respective Borrower and, except in the case of clauses (i) and (iv) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (w) in the case of clause (i) above, (A) if Eurodollar Loans are so affected, Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the respective Dollar Revolving Loan Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion given by the respective Dollar Revolving Loan Borrower with respect to Eurodollar Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by the respective Dollar Revolving Loan Borrower, and (B) if any Alternate Currency Revolving Loan is so affected, the relevant Euro Rate shall be determined on the basis provided in the proviso appearing in the definition of the relevant Euro Rate, (x) in the case of clause (ii) above, the respective Borrower shall pay to such Lender, upon its written request therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the respective Borrower by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto), (y) in the case of clause (iii) above, the respective Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 1.11(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law and (z) in the case of clause (iv) above, Alternate Currency Revolving

Loans (exclusive of Alternate Currency Revolving Loans which have theretofore been funded) shall no longer be available in the respective Alternate Currency or Alternate Currencies until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing given by any Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Borrower with respect to such Alternate Currency Revolving Loans which have not been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the respective Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Borrower.

          (b) At any time that any Euro Rate Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 1.11(a)(ii) or (iii), the respective Borrower may (and in the case of a Euro Rate Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 1.11(a)(iii) shall) either (x) if the affected Euro Rate Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel the respective Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that such Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or the Administrative Agent or (y) if the affected Euro Rate Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, (A) in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, request the affected Lender to convert such Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan (which conversion, in the case of the circumstances described in Section 1.11(a)(iii), shall occur no later than the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan (or such earlier date as shall be required by applicable law)) and (B) in the case of an Alternate Currency Revolving Loan, repay such Alternate Currency Revolving Loan in full; provided that (i) if the circumstances described in Section 1.11(a)(iii) apply to any Alternate Currency Revolving Loan, the respective Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Borrower may, in lieu of taking the actions described above, maintain such Alternate Currency Revolving Loan outstanding, in which case the applicable Euro Rate shall be determined on the basis provided in the proviso appearing in the definition of the relevant Euro Rate, unless the maintenance of such Alternate Currency Revolving Loan outstanding on such basis would not stop the conditions described in Section 1.11(a)(iii) from existing (in which case the actions described above, without giving effect to the proviso, shall be required to be taken) and (ii) if more than one Lender is affected at any time as described above in this clause (b), then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 1.11(b).

          (c) If at any time after the Effective Date any Lender determines that the introduction of or any change (which introduction or change shall have occurred after the Effective Date) in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) or any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the Corporation agrees to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are

reasonable, provided that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 1.11(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 1.11(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Corporation, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts.

          (d) If any Lender shall in good faith determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto) at any time that such Lender is required to maintain reserves (including, without limitation, any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserves required by applicable law) which have been established by any Federal, state, local or foreign court or governmental agency, authority, instrumentality or regulatory body with jurisdiction over such Lender (including any branch, Affiliate or funding office thereof) in respect of any Euro Rate Loans or any category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on any Euro Rate Loan is determined or any category of extensions of credit or other assets which includes loans of the same or similar type as any Euro Rate Loans, then, unless such reserves are already being charged for pursuant to Section 1.11(a)(ii), such Lender shall promptly notify the respective Borrower or Borrowers in writing specifying the additional amounts required to indemnify such Lender against the cost of maintaining such reserves (such written notice to provide in reasonable detail a computation of such additional amounts) and the respective Borrower or Borrowers shall, and shall be obligated to, pay to such Lender such specified amounts as additional interest at the time that the respective Borrower or Borrowers are otherwise required to pay interest in respect of such Euro Rate Loans or, if later, on written demand therefor by such Lender.

          1.12 Compensation. The respective Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Euro Rate Loans, but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, Euro Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion (whether or not rescinded or deemed rescinded pursuant to Section 1.11(a) or (b)); (ii) if any repayment (including any repayment made pursuant to Section 4.01 or 4.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 10) or conversion of any Euro Rate Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii) if any repayment (including any repayment made pursuant to Section 4.01 or 4.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 10) of any Bankers’ Acceptance Loan occurs on a date which is not the maturity date of the respective Bankers’ Acceptance; (iv) if any prepayment of any Euro Rate Loans or Bankers’ Acceptance Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the respective Borrower; or (v) as a consequence of (x) any other default by the respective Borrower to repay its Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender, (y) any election made pursuant to Section 1.11(b) or (z) the replacement of any Lender pursuant to Section 1.14.

          1.13 Lending Offices; Changes Thereto. (a) Each Lender may at any time or from time to time designate, by written notice to the Administrative Agent to the extent not

already reflected on Schedule II, one or more lending offices (which, for this purpose, may include Affiliates of the respective Lender) for the various Loans made, and Letters of Credit participated in, by such Lender (including by designating a separate lending office (or Affiliate) to act as such with respect to Dollar Loans and Dollar Letter of Credit Outstandings versus Alternate Currency Loans and Alternate Currency Letter of Credit Outstandings); provided that, for designations made after the Initial Borrowing Date, to the extent such designation shall result in increased costs under Section 1.11, 2.06 or 4.04 in excess of those which would be charged in the absence of the designation of a different lending office (including a different Affiliate of the respective Lender), then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such excess increased costs (although the Borrowers, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay the costs which would apply in the absence of such designation and any subsequent increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective designation). Each lending office and Affiliate of any Lender designated as provided above shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, be treated in the same manner as the respective Lender (and shall be entitled to all indemnities and similar provisions in respect of its acting as such hereunder).

          (b) Each Lender agrees that on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 1.11(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 1.11(c), Section 1.11(d), Section 2.06 or Section 4.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the applicable Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer (as determined in such Lender’s sole discretion) no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 1.13 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 1.11, 2.06 and 4.04.

          1.14 Replacement of Lenders. (x) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (y) upon the occurrence of an event giving rise to the operation of Section 1.11(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 1.11(c), Section 1.11(d), Section 2.06 or Section 4.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to any Borrower increased costs in excess of those being generally charged by the other Lenders or (z) in the case of the refusal by a Lender to consent to proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b), the Corporation shall have the right, if no Event of Default and no Specified Default will exist immediately after giving effect to such replacement, to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of whom shall be required to be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and each Lender which at the time of such replacement is an Issuing Bank with respect to one or more outstanding Letters of Credit; provided that:

Agreements pursuant to Section 13.04(b) (and shall pay all fees payable pursuant to said Section 13.04(b)) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments (and related Sub-Commitments) and outstanding Loans of, and in each case participations in Letters of Credit by, the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (x) the Replaced Lender in respect thereof amounts (in the respective currencies in which such obligations are denominated) equal to the sum of (I) the principal of (including, without limitation, the Face Amount of Bankers’ Acceptance Loans), and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender, (II) all Unpaid Drawings that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (III) all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, (y) each Issuing Bank an amount (in the relevant Applicable Currency) equal to such Replaced Lender’s Dollar Percentage and/or relevant Alternate Currency RL Percentage, as applicable, of any Unpaid Drawing (which at such time remains an Unpaid Drawing) to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender to such Issuing Bank and (z) the Swingline Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s Dollar Percentage of any Mandatory Borrowing to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender; and

     (ii) all Obligations of the Borrowers due and owing to the Replaced Lender at such time (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.

          Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreements, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, recordation of the assignment on the Register by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.15 and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the respective Borrower, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 1.11, 1.12, 1.16, 2.06, 4.04, 12.06 and 13.01), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender. In connection with any replacement of Lenders pursuant to, and as contemplated by, this Section 1.14, each of the Borrowers (other than the Corporation) hereby irrevocably authorizes the Corporation to take all necessary action, in the name of the various Borrowers, as described above in this Section 1.14 in order to effect the replacement of the respective Lender or Lenders in accordance with the preceding provisions of this Section 1.14.

          1.15 Bankers’ Acceptance Provisions.

Without prejudice and in addition to any method of conversion or rounding prescribed by any relevant EMU Legislation, (i) each reference in this Agreement to a minimum amount (or an integral multiple thereof) in Pounds Sterling shall be replaced by a reference to such reasonably comparable and convenient amount (or an integral multiple thereof) in Euros as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify and (ii) except as expressly provided in this Section 1.16, this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the introduction of or changeover to Euros in the United Kingdom, provided that this Section 1.16 shall not reduce or increase any actual or contingent liability arising under this Agreement.

          1.17 Special Provisions Regarding RL Lenders, Alternate Currency Revolving Loans and Alternate Currency Letters of Credit. (a) On any date the Corporation may, at its option, permanently reduce or terminate the Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments relating to one or more of the Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranches by written notice to the Administrative Agent to such effect (specifying the aggregate amount of reductions to various Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments relating to each such Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche); provided that (i) no such reduction shall be made in an amount which would cause the sum of (x) the Dollar Equivalent of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount or Face Amount, as the case may be, of all Alternate Currency Revolving Loans under a given Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche plus (y) all Alternate Currency Letter of Credit Outstandings relating to Alternate Currency Letters of Credit issued under the respective Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche, to exceed the aggregate Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments of the Alternate Currency RL Lenders in respect of such Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche (after giving effect to the respective reduction pursuant to this Section 1.17(a)), (ii) each reduction pursuant to this clause (a) shall apply pro rata to reduce the Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments of the various Alternate Currency RL Lenders in respect of such Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche (based upon the relative amounts of such Sub-Commitments), and (iii) except to the extent the reduction to the Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments pursuant to this Section 1.17(a) is accompanied by a like reduction to the amount of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to Section 3.02, the amount of each RL Lender’s reduction to its Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments pursuant to this clause (a) shall result in a like increase to its Non-Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment.

          (b) On the fifth Business Day after the occurrence of a Sharing Event, automatically (and without the taking of any action) (x) all then outstanding Alternate Currency Revolving Loans incurred by, and all Unpaid Drawings in respect of Alternate Currency Letters of Credit issued for the account of, each Borrower shall be automatically converted into Dollar Revolving Loans maintained in, or Unpaid Drawings owing in, Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount or Face Amount, as the case may be, of the respective Alternate Currency Revolving Loans or Unpaid Drawings, as the case may be, on the date such Sharing Event first occurred), which Dollar Revolving Loans or Unpaid Drawings shall (i) continue to be owed by the respective Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Borrower obligated to repay or reimburse the respective Alternate Currency Revolving Loan or Unpaid Drawing prior to such conversion and (ii) at all times thereafter be deemed to be Base Rate Loans, and (y) all principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owing with respect to such Revolving Loans and Unpaid Drawings (as so converted) shall be immediately due and payable in Dollars (taking the Dollar Equivalent of the principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts of the Alternate Currency Revolving Loans or Unpaid Drawings so converted). The occurrence of any conversion as provided above in this Section 1.17(b) shall be deemed to constitute, for purposes of Section 1.12, a prepayment of Alternate Currency Revolving Loans before the last day of any Interest Period relating thereto.

          (c) On the date of the occurrence of a Sharing Event, each RL Lender shall (and hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to) purchase and sell for cash (in each case in Dollars) undivided participating interests in the Revolving Loans outstanding to each Borrower in such amounts so that each RL Lender shall have a share of the outstanding Revolving Loans then owing by each Borrower equal to its RL Percentage thereof. Upon any such occurrence, the Administrative Agent shall notify each RL Lender and shall specify the amount of Dollars required from such RL Lender in order to effect the purchases and sales by the various RL Lenders of participating interests in the amounts required above (together with accrued interest with respect to the period from the last interest payment date through the date of the Sharing Event plus any additional amounts payable by the respective Borrower pursuant to Section 4.04 hereof in respect of such accrued but unpaid interest); provided that each RL Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, automatically and without request, such participating interests. The foregoing purchases shall be accomplished through purchases and sales of participations in the relevant obligations as required above, and each RL Lender hereby agrees, at the request of the Administrative Agent, to enter into customary participation agreements approved by the Administrative Agent to effect the foregoing. Promptly upon receipt of such request, each RL Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (in immediately available funds in Dollars) the net amounts as specified by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver the amounts so received to the various RL Lenders in such amounts as are needed to effect the purchases and sales of participations as provided above. Promptly following receipt thereof, each RL Lender which has sold participations in any of its Revolving Loans (through the Administrative Agent) will deliver to each RL Lender (through the Administrative Agent) which has so purchased a participating interest a participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount. It is understood that the amount of funds delivered by each RL Lender shall be calculated on a net basis, giving effect to both the sales and purchases of participations by the various RL Lenders as required above.

          (d) Upon, and after, the occurrence of a Sharing Event (i) no further Credit Events shall be made or shall occur, (ii) all amounts from time to time accruing with respect to, and all amounts from time to time payable on account of, Alternate Currency Revolving Loans (including, without limitation, any interest and other amounts which were accrued but unpaid on the date of such Sharing Event) shall be payable in Dollars (taking the Dollar Equivalents of all such amounts on the date of the occurrence of the respective Sharing Event, with all calculations after such Sharing Event being made as if the respective such Alternate Currency Revolving Loan had originally been made in Dollars) and shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant RL Lenders (or their affiliates) which made such Revolving Loans or are participating therein and (iii) the Revolving Loan Commitments (and the Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments and Non-Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments) of the RL Lenders shall be automatically terminated. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, the failure of any RL Lender to purchase its participating interests in any extensions of credit upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event shall not relieve any other RL Lender of its obligation hereunder to purchase its participating interests in a timely manner, but no RL Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other RL Lender to purchase the participating interest to be purchased by such other RL Lender on any date.

          (e) If any amount required to be paid by any RL Lender pursuant to Section 1.17(c) is not paid to the Administrative Agent within one Business Day following the date upon which such RL Lender receives notice from the Administrative Agent of the amount of its participations required to be purchased pursuant to said Section 1.17(c), such RL Lender shall also pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the amount so required to be paid by such RL Lender for the purchase of its participations multiplied by (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate, during the period from and including the date of request for payment to but excluding the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Administrative Agent multiplied by (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that elapsed during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any RL Lender pursuant to Section 1.17(c) is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent within three Business Days following the date upon which such RL Lender receives notice from the Administrative Agent as to the amount of participations required to be purchased by it, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover from such RL Lender on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such request date at the rate per annum applicable to Dollar Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any RL Lender with respect to any amounts payable under this Section 1.17 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Amounts payable by any RL Lender pursuant to this Section 1.17 shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant RL Lenders; provided that, if the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion) has elected to fund on behalf of such RL Lender the amounts owing to such RL Lenders, then the amounts shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for its own account.

          (f) Whenever, at any time after the relevant RL Lenders have received from any RL Lenders purchases of participations in any Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 1.17, the various RL Lenders receive any payment on account thereof, such RL Lenders will distribute to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the various RL Lenders participating therein, such RL Lenders’ participating interests in such amounts (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such participations were

outstanding) in like funds as received; provided, however, that if such payment received by any RL Lenders is required to be returned, the RL Lenders who received previous distributions in respect of their participating interests therein will return to the respective RL Lenders any portion thereof previously so distributed to them in like funds as such payment is required to be returned by the respective RL Lenders.

          (g) Each RL Lender’s obligation to purchase participating interests pursuant to this Section 1.17 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance including, without limitation, (a) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such RL Lender may have against any other RL Lender, the relevant Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (b) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default, (c) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Borrower or any other Person, (d) any breach of this Agreement by any Borrower or any Lender or any other Person, or (e) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

          (h) All determinations by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 1.17 shall be made by it in accordance with the provisions herein and with the intent being to equitably share the credit risk for all Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit hereunder in accordance with the provisions hereof. Absent manifest error, all determinations by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be binding on the Borrowers and each of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any Borrower or any Lender hereunder for any determinations made by it hereunder (other than any determination as to the existence of a Sharing Event), except to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

          (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, upon any purchase of participations as required above in this Section 1.17 or, after the occurrence of a Sharing Event, pursuant to Section 1.01(c) or 2.04, (i) each RL Lender which has purchased such participations shall be entitled to receive from the relevant Borrower any increased costs and indemnities (including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 1.11, 1.12, 1.16, 2.06 and 4.04) directly from such Borrower to the same extent as if such RL Lender which has purchased such participations were the direct Lender as opposed to a participant therein, which increased costs shall be calculated without regard to Section 1.13, Section 13.04(a) or the last sentence of Section 13.04(b) and (ii) each RL Lender which has sold such participations shall be entitled to receive from the relevant Borrower indemnification from and against any and all taxes imposed as a result of the sale of the participations pursuant to this Section 1.17. The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that, upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event and after giving effect to the requirements of this Section 1.17, increased Taxes may be owing by them pursuant to Section 4.04, which Taxes shall be paid (to the extent provided in Section 4.04) by the respective Borrowers, without any claim that the increased Taxes are not payable because same resulted from the participations effected as otherwise required by this Section 1.17.

          1.18 Special Provisions Applicable to the Total Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that (i) the Total Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment,

shall be fixed on a quarterly basis in accordance with this Section; (ii) in no event shall the Total Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment exceed the sum of the Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments of the various Alternate Currency RL Lenders relating to Canadian Dollars as then in effect (after giving effect to any reductions or increases to such Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments from time to time, including pursuant to Sections 1.17, 1.18(b), 1.19, 3.02, 3.03, 10 and/or 13.12(e) or (f)); (iii) in no event shall the Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment for any Alternate Currency RL Lender exceed the amount set forth opposite such Alternate Currency RL Lender’s name in Schedule I-B directly below the column entitled “Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment,” as the same may be (x) reduced from time to time pursuant to Sections 1.17, 1.18(b), 3.02, 3.03, 10 and/or 13.12(f), (y) increased from time to time pursuant to Sections 1.19 and/or 13.12(e) or (z) further adjusted from time to time as a result of assignments to or from such Lender pursuant to Section 1.14 or 13.04(b); (iv) at no time shall any Borrower be permitted to request an extension of credit pursuant to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment (whether in the form of Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans or Competitive Bid Loans or Letter of Credit Outstandings) and no such credit shall be made available if, after giving effect thereto, the sum of the aggregate principal amount (taking the Dollar Equivalent of the principal amount of Alternate Currency Revolving Loans made available in currencies other than Dollars and Canadian Dollars) of outstanding Revolving Loans (excluding for this purpose Canadian Dollar Revolving Loans), Swingline Loans and Competitive Bid Loans (taking the Dollar Equivalent of the principal amount of Alternate Currency Competitive Bid Loans) and the amount of Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Letter of Credit Outstandings relating to Alternate Currency Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars) at such time would exceed an amount equal to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment as then in effect less the Total Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment as then in effect; (v) at no time shall any Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Borrower be permitted to request an extension of credit in the form of Canadian Dollar Revolving Loans or Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars if, after giving effect thereto, the sum of (x) the aggregate principal (and Face Amount, as applicable) of outstanding Canadian Dollar Revolving Loans (for this purpose, using the Dollar Equivalent of the principal and/or Face Amount, as appropriate, of Canadian Dollar Revolving Loans) plus (y) the amount of Alternate Currency Letter of Credit Outstandings relating to Alternate Currency Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, would at any time exceed the Total Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment; and (vi) the Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment for any Alternate Currency RL Lender at any time shall be an amount equal to its pro rata share of the Total Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment at such time determined on the basis of the Alternate Currency RL Percentages of the various Alternate Currency RL Lenders in respect of such Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche.

          (b) The Corporation, not more than 30 days and not less than 5 Business Days prior to the last day of each calendar quarter, shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent either (x) requesting an adjustment effective as of the first Business Day of the immediately following calendar quarter (each such date, an “Adjustment Date”) to the amount of the Total Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment; or (y) confirming that there will be no adjustments to the amount available under the Total Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment; provided that (i) no reduction to the amount of the Total Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment may be made if, after giving effect to any such reduction, the Total Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment would be less than the sum of (x) the

aggregate Face Amount of all Bankers’ Acceptance Loans and the principal amount of all Canadian Prime Rate Loans (for this purpose, using the Dollar Equivalent of the Face Amounts or principal amounts thereof) then outstanding (other than any such Canadian Dollar Revolving Loans which will be repaid in full on or before the respective Adjustment Date) plus (y) the amount of Alternate Currency Letter of Credit Outstandings relating to Alternate Currencies denominated in Canadian Dollars; and (ii) the failure by the Corporation to deliver any such written notice (or the delivery by the Corporation of any such notice which does not comply with the requirements contained in this Section) to the Administrative Agent within the period required above will be deemed to be delivery by the Corporation to the Administrative Agent of a written notice that there will be no adjustment to the Total Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment. If any adjustment is made on an Adjustment Date as described in this Section, then on the respective Adjustment Date all repayments and/or cash collateralizations required by this Section and Section 4.02(a) shall be made on such date to the extent required as a result of such adjustments and in manner provided in Section 4.02.

          (c) In connection with any loans, repayments and/or cash collateralizations made as a result of adjustments to the Total Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment and the Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment for any Alternate Currency RL Lender as requested above, then, so long as arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent are made for the repayment of all amounts which will be due on the respective Adjustment Date as a result thereof, loans shall be permitted to be requested by the Borrowers as a result of any change in the amount of the Total Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments on such date (subject to satisfaction of the other terms and conditions of this Agreements), so long as arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent are made so that, by the time required by Section 4.03, all payments will be made by the Borrowers on such Adjustment Date as a result of any change in the amount of the Total Canadian Dollar Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment, on such date. It is understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any Lender if the payments contemplated above in this Section are not actually made on the Adjustment Date, and that any failure to make the payments required to be made on an Adjustment Date pursuant to this Section or Section 4.02(a) shall constitute an Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01.

          1.19 Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments. (a) So long as the Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Requirements are satisfied at the time of the delivery of the request referred to below, the Corporation shall have the right at any time and from time to time and upon at least 5 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, to request on one or more occasions that one or more Lenders (and/or one or more other Persons which will become Lenders as provided below) provide Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments (and related Incremental Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments with respect to one or more Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranches) and, subject to the applicable terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, make Revolving Loans pursuant thereto; it being understood and agreed, however, that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment (or a related Incremental Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment) as a result of any such request by the Corporation, (ii) until such time, if any, as (x) such Lender has agreed in its sole discretion to provide an Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment (and any related Incremental Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment) and executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Revolving

Loan Commitment Agreement in respect thereof as provided in clause (b) of this Section 1.19 and (y) the other conditions set forth in Section 1.19(b) shall have been satisfied, such Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Revolving Loans in excess of its Revolving Loan Commitment (or any Alternate Currency Revolving Loans under a given Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche in excess of its Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment relating to such Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche), in each case as in effect prior to giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment (and any related Incremental Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment) provided pursuant to this Section 1.19, (iii) any Lender (or, in the circumstances contemplated by clause (vii) below, any other Person which will qualify as an Eligible Transferee) may so provide an Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment (and any related Incremental Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment) without the consent of any other Lender (other than the Administrative Agent in the circumstances contemplated by the definition of Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Requirements), (iv) each provision of Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments (and any related Incremental Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment) on a given date pursuant to this Section 1.19 shall be in a minimum aggregate amount (for all Lenders (including, in the circumstances contemplated by clause (vii) below, Eligible Transferees who will become Lenders)) of at least $10,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (v) the aggregate amount of all Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments permitted to be provided pursuant to this Section 1.19 shall not exceed $400,000,000, (vi) the aggregate amount of all Incremental Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments permitted to be provided pursuant to this Section 1.19, when combined with any and all increases pursuant to Section 13.12(e) to Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments relating to each Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche in excess of the relevant Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment Sub-Limit (for this purposes, determined without regard to the proviso in the definition thereof) for the respective Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche, shall not exceed $150,000,000, (vii) if after the Corporation has requested the then existing Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders) to provide Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments (and related Incremental Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments, if applicable) pursuant to this Section 1.19, the Corporation has not received Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments (and related Incremental Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments, if applicable) in an aggregate amount equal to that amount of the Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments (and related Incremental Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments, if applicable) which the Corporation desires to obtain pursuant to such request (as set forth in the notice provided by the Corporation as provided below), then the Corporation may request Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments (and related Incremental Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments, if applicable) from Persons reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank which would qualify as Eligible Transferees hereunder in an aggregate amount equal to such deficiency, in any such case on terms which are no more favorable to such Eligible Transferee in any respect than the terms offered to the Lenders, provided that any such Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments (and any related Incremental Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments) provided by any such Eligible Transferee which is not already a Lender shall be in a minimum amount ( for such Eligible Transferee) of at least $5,000,000 and (viii) all actions taken by the Corporation (and any Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Borrower) pursuant to this Section 1.19 shall be done in coordination with the Administrative Agent.

          (b) In connection with the Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments (and any related Incremental Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments) to be provided pursuant to this Section 1.19, (i) the Corporation, any relevant Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Borrower (in the case of any Incremental Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments to be provided pursuant to this Section 1.19), the Administrative Agent and each such Lender or other Eligible Transferee (each, an “Incremental RL Lender”) which agrees to provide an Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment (and any related Incremental Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit L (appropriately completed), with the effectiveness of such Incremental RL Lender’s Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment (and any related Incremental Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments) to occur upon delivery of such Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement to the Administrative Agent, the payment of any fees required in connection therewith (including, without limitation, any agreed upon up-front or arrangement fees owing to the Administrative Agent) and the satisfaction of the other conditions in this Section 1.19(b) to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Requirements and any other conditions precedent agreed to by the Corporation that may be set forth in the respective Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement shall have been satisfied, and (iii) the Corporation shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an opinion or opinions, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, from counsel to the Credit Parties reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and dated such date, covering such of the matters set forth in the opinions of counsel delivered to the Administrative Agent on the Initial Borrowing Date pursuant to Section 5.02 as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, and such other matters as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement, and at such time (i) the Total Revolving Loan Commitment under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments, (ii) the Total Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the aggregate amount of any Incremental Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments made available under the respective Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement, (iii) each Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment of the respective Incremental RL Lender relating to any relevant Incremental Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment made available under the respective Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the amount of such Incremental Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment, (iv) Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect the revised Revolving Loan Commitments (and related Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments, if applicable) of the affected Lenders and (v) to the extent requested by any Incremental RL Lender, the relevant Notes will be issued at the Corporation’s expense, to such Incremental RL Lender, to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 1.06 (with appropriate modification) to the extent needed to reflect the increases to the Revolving Loan Commitments (and any related Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments) of such Incremental RL Lender contemplated hereby.

          (c) In connection with any provision of Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 1.19, the Lenders and the Borrowers hereby agree that,

notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) the relevant Borrowers shall, in coordination with the Administrative Agent, (x) repay outstanding Dollar Revolving Loans and/or Alternate Currency Revolving Loans under certain Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranches owing to certain RL Lenders, and incur additional Dollar Revolving Loans and/or Alternate Currency Revolving Loans under certain Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranches from certain other RL Lenders (including the Incremental RL Lenders) or (y) take such other actions as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent (including by requiring new Dollar Revolving Loans or Alternate Currency Revolving Loans pursuant to a given Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche to be incurred and added to then outstanding Borrowings of the respective such Loans, even though as a result thereof such new Loans (to the extent required to be maintained as Euro Rate Loans) may have a shorter Interest Period than the then outstanding Borrowings of the respective such Loans), in each case to the extent necessary so that (I) all of the RL Lenders effectively participate in each outstanding Borrowing of Dollar Revolving Loans pro rata on the basis of their Dollar Percentages (determined after giving effect to any increase in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment (and any increase in the Non-Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments and the Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments of the Incremental RL Lenders) pursuant to this Section 1.19) and (II) all Alternate Currency RL Lenders with a given Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment effectively participate in each outstanding Borrowing of Alternate Currency Revolving Loans under the related Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche pro rata on the basis of their Alternate Currency RL Percentages relating to such Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche (determined after giving effect to any increase in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment (and any increase in the Non-Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments and the Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments of the Incremental RL Lenders) pursuant to this Section 1.19), (ii) the Corporation shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the respective RL Lenders any costs of the type referred to in Section 1.12 in connection with any repayment and/or Borrowing required pursuant to preceding clause (i) and (iii) to the extent Dollar Revolving Loans or Alternate Currency Revolving Loans pursuant to a given Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche are to be so incurred or added to the then outstanding Borrowings of the respective such Loans which are maintained as Euro Rate Loans, the Lenders that have made such Loans shall be entitled to receive from the Borrowers such amounts, as reasonably determined by the respective Lenders, to compensate them for funding the various Revolving Loans during an existing Interest Period (rather than at the beginning of the respective Interest Period, based upon rates then applicable thereto). In coordinating the actions to be taken pursuant to this Section 1.19(c), the Administrative Agent shall act with an eye towards minimizing (but no express obligation to minimize) costs to the Borrowers. All determinations by any Lender pursuant to clause (iii) of the second preceding sentence shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

          SECTION 2. Letters of Credit.

          2.01 Letters of Credit. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, any Dollar Revolving Loan Borrower (other than Starwood REIT) (in the case of any Dollar Letter of Credit) and any Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Borrower (in the case of any Alternate Currency Letter of Credit) may request that any Issuing Bank issue, at any time and from time to time on and after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the tenth Business Day prior to the Maturity Date (or the 30th day prior to the Maturity Date in the case of Trade Letters

of Credit), for the account of such Account Party and for the benefit of (x) any holder (or any trustee, agent or other similar representative for any such holders) of L/C Supportable Obligations of such Account Party or any of its Subsidiaries, an irrevocable sight standby letter of credit, in a form customarily used by such Issuing Bank or in such other form as has been approved by such Issuing Bank (each such standby letter of credit, a “Standby Letter of Credit”) in support of such L/C Supportable Obligations and (y) sellers of goods, materials and services used in the ordinary course of business of such Account Party or any of its Subsidiaries an irrevocable sight commercial letter of credit in a form customarily used by such Issuing Bank or in such other form as has been approved by such Issuing Bank (each such commercial letter of credit, a “Trade Letter of Credit,” and each such Trade Letter of Credit and each Standby Letter of Credit, a “Letter of Credit”) in support of commercial transactions of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries. Each Letter of Credit shall constitute either (x) a Dollar Letter of Credit, in which case such Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars and shall be issued for the account of a Dollar Revolving Loan Borrower (other than Starwood REIT) or (y) an Alternate Currency Letter of Credit, in which case such Letter of Credit shall be denominated in an Alternate Currency and shall be issued for the account of an Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Borrower.

          (b) Each Issuing Bank hereby agrees that it will (subject to the terms and conditions contained herein), at any time and from time to time on and after the Initial Borrowing Date and prior to the tenth Business Day prior to the Maturity Date (or the 30th day prior to the Maturity Date in the case of Trade Letters of Credit), following its receipt of the respective Letter of Credit Request, issue for the account of the respective Account Party, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, one or more Letters of Credit (x) in the case of Standby Letters of Credit, in support of such L/C Supportable Obligations of such Account Party or any of its Subsidiaries as are permitted to remain outstanding without giving rise to a Default or an Event of Default and (y) in the case of Trade Letters of Credit, in support of sellers of goods or materials used in the ordinary course of business of such Account Party or any of its Subsidiaries as referenced in Section 2.01(a), provided that the respective Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit of the types described above if at the time of such issuance:

     (i) any order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit or any requirement of law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the date hereof, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable, in effect or known to such Issuing Bank as of the date hereof and which such Issuing Bank reasonably and in good faith deems material to it; or

     (ii) such Issuing Bank shall have received a Stop Issue Notice from the Administrative Agent prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit.

          (c) Schedule 2.01(c) hereto contains a description of all letters of credit issued pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement and outstanding on the Effective Date (and setting forth, with respect to each such letter of credit, (i) the name of the issuing lender, (ii) the letter of credit number, (iii) the name(s) of the account party or account parties, (iv) the stated amount (which shall be in U.S. Dollars), (v) the name of the beneficiary, (vi) the expiry date and (vii) whether such letter of credit constitutes a standby letter of credit or a trade letter of credit). Each such letter of credit, including any extension or renewal thereof (each, as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof, an “Existing Letter of Credit”) shall constitute a “Letter of Credit”, a “Dollar Letter of Credit” and a “Standby Letter of Credit” or a “Trade Letter of Credit”, as the case may be, for all purposes of this Agreement, issued, for purposes of Section 2.05(a), on the Initial Borrowing Date. Any Lender hereunder which has issued an Existing Letter of Credit shall constitute an “Issuing Bank” for all purposes of this Agreement.

          2.02 Maximum Letter of Credit Outstandings; Final Maturities; etc. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time, would exceed $400,000,000, (ii) no Alternate Currency Letter of Credit shall be issued if, after giving effect thereto, the Aggregate Alternate Currency Credit Exposure would exceed $500,000,000 at such time, (iii) no Alternate Currency Letter of Credit denominated in a given Other Permitted LIBOR-Based Alternate Currency shall be issued if, after giving effect thereto, the Aggregate Other Permitted LIBOR-Based Alternate Currency Revolving Credit Exposure with respect to such Other Permitted LIBOR-Based Alternate Currency would exceed $35,000,000 at such time, (iv) no Letter of Credit shall be issued if, after giving effect thereto, (x) the Individual Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender would exceed its Revolving Loan Commitment as then in effect or (y) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitment as then in effect, (v) no Alternative Currency Letter of Credit denominated in a given Alternate Currency and issued under a given Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche shall be issued if, after giving effect thereto, the Individual Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment Credit Exposure of any Alternate Currency RL Lender with an Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment relating to such Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche would exceed such Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment of such Alternate Currency RL Lender at such time, and (vi) each Letter of Credit shall by its terms terminate (A) in the case of Standby Letters of Credit, on or before the earlier of (x) the date which occurs 12 months after the date of the issuance thereof (although any such Standby Letter of Credit may be extendible for successive periods of up to 12 months, but not beyond the tenth Business Day prior to the Maturity Date, on terms acceptable to the Issuing Bank thereof) and (y) the tenth Business Day prior to the Maturity Date and (B) in the case of Trade Letters of Credit, on or before the earlier of (x) the date which occurs 180 days after the date of issuance thereof and (y) 30 days prior to the Maturity Date and (v) the Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall be no less than $100,000 (or, in the case of an Alternate Currency Letter of Credit, the Dollar Equivalent thereof), or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the respective Issuing Bank.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Lender Default exists, an Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue any Letters of Credit requested to be issued by it unless such Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Corporation to eliminate

such Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit of the Defaulting Lender or Lenders, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s or Lenders’ RL Percentage of the Letter of Credit Outstandings.

          2.03 Letter of Credit Requests; Notices of Issuance. (a) Whenever an Account Party desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account, such Account Party shall give the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Bank written notice thereof prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York time) at least five Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the respective Issuing Bank) prior to the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day). Each notice shall be in the form of Exhibit D (each, a “Letter of Credit Request”).

          (b) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the respective Account Party that (i) such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 2.02 and (ii) all of the applicable conditions set forth in Sections 5 and 6 shall be met at the time of such issuance. Unless the respective Issuing Bank has received notice from the Administrative Agent, whether on its own initiative or at the direction of the Required Lenders, before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions specified in Section 5 are not satisfied on the Initial Borrowing Date or Section 6 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 2.02 (any such notice, a “Stop Issue Notice”) , then such Issuing Bank may issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the respective Account Party in accordance with such Issuing Bank’s usual and customary practices. Upon the issuance of or amendment to any Standby Letter of Credit, the respective Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the respective Account Party, in writing, of such issuance or amendment, and such notification shall be accompanied by a copy of the issued Standby Letter of Credit or amendment thereto. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall notify the RL Lenders, in writing, of such issuance or amendment, as the case may be, and if so requested by any RL Lender, the Administrative Agent shall provide such RL Lender with a copy of the Standby Letter of Credit so issued or such amendment, as the case may be. For Trade Letters of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank (other than the Administrative Agent), such Issuing Bank will send to the Administrative Agent by facsimile transmission, promptly on the first Business Day of each week, the daily aggregate Stated Amount of Trade Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank and outstanding during the preceding week. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each RL Lender, after each calendar month end and upon each payment of the Letter of Credit Fee, a report setting forth for the relevant period the daily aggregate Stated Amount of all outstanding Trade Letters of Credit during such period.

          2.04 Letter of Credit Participations. (a) Immediately upon the issuance by the respective Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to (i) in the case of a Dollar Letter of Credit, each RL Lender (other than such Issuing Bank) and (ii) in the case of an Alternate Currency Letter of Credit, each Alternate Currency RL Lender (other than an Issuing Bank) with an Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment relating to the respective Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche under which such Alternate Currency Letter of Credit was issued (each such Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit, in its capacity under this Section 2.04, a “Participant”), and each such Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, in

a percentage equal to (x) in the case of a Dollar Letter of Credit, such Participant’s Dollar Percentage or (y) in the case of an Alternate Currency Letter of Credit, such Participant’s relevant Alternate Currency RL Percentage, in such Dollar Letter of Credit or Alternate Currency Letter of Credit, as the case may be, each drawing or payment made thereunder and the obligations of the respective Account Party under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any guaranty pertaining thereto (although Letter of Credit Fees shall be paid directly to the Administrative Agent for the account of the RL Lenders or the relevant Alternate Currency RL Lenders as provided in Section 3.01(b) and the Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any Facing Fees with respect to any such Letters of Credit); provided that, upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event, the participations described above shall be automatically adjusted so that each RL Lender shall have a participation in all then outstanding Letters of Credit (whether a Dollar Letter of Credit or an Alternate Currency Letter of Credit), and related obligations as described above, in a percentage equal to its RL Percentage (which adjustments shall occur concurrently with the adjustments described in Section 1.17). Upon any change in the Revolving Loan Commitments, Non-Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments, Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments, Dollar Percentages or relevant Alternate Currency RL Percentages of the RL Lenders pursuant to this Agreement (or in the circumstances provided in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, the RL Percentages of the RL Lenders pursuant to this Agreement), it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 2.04 to reflect the new Dollar Percentages or relevant Alternate Currency RL Percentages or, in the circumstances described in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, the RL Percentages of the various RL Lenders.

          (b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the respective Issuing Bank shall have no obligation relative to the Participants or any other Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), shall not create for such Issuing Bank any resulting liability to any Account Party, any other Credit Party, any Lender or any other Person.

          (c) If any Issuing Bank makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the respective Account Party shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.05(a), such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Participant of such failure, and each Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such Issuing Bank the amount of such Participant’s Dollar Percentage (in the case of a Dollar Letter of Credit) or relevant Alternate Currency RL Percentage (in the case of an Alternate Currency Letter of Credit) (or, after the occurrence of a Sharing Event, its RL Percentage) of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars (or, in the case of an Alternate Currency Letter of Credit, at any time prior to the occurrence of a Sharing Event, the Alternate Currency in which such Alternate Currency Letter of Credit is denominated) and in same day funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies, prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York time) on any Business Day, any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such Participant shall make

available to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such Issuing Bank, in Dollars (or, in the case of an Alternate Currency Letter of Credit, at any time prior to the occurrence of a Sharing Event, the Alternate Currency in which such Alternate Currency Letter of Credit is denominated), such Participant’s Dollar Percentage (in the case of a Dollar Letter of Credit) or relevant Alternate Currency RL Percentage (in the case of an Alternate Currency Letter of Credit) (or, after the occurrence of a Sharing Event, its RL Percentage) of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds; provided, however, that no Participant shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such Issuing Bank its Dollar Percentage (in the case of a Dollar Letter of Credit) or relevant Alternate Currency RL Percentage (in the case of an Alternate Currency Letter of Credit) (or, after the occurrence of a Sharing Event, its RL Percentage) of such unreimbursed amount for any wrongful payment made by such Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). If and to the extent such Participant shall not have so made its Dollar Percentage (in the case of a Dollar Letter of Credit) or Alternate Currency RL Percentage (in the case of an Alternate Currency Letter of Credit) (or, after the occurrence of a Sharing Event, its RL Percentage) of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such Issuing Bank, such Participant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such Issuing Bank, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such Issuing Bank at (x) in the case of Dollar Letters of Credit and, after the occurrence of a Sharing Event, other amounts owing in Dollars, the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate applicable to Dollar Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans hereunder for each day thereafter and (y) in the case of Alternate Currency Letters of Credit denominated in a given Alternate Currency at any time prior to the occurrence of a Sharing Event, the relevant Euro Rate (as determined on the basis provided in the proviso appearing in the definition of the relevant Euro Rate) for the first three days and the interest rate applicable to Alternate Currency Revolving Loans denominated in such Alternate Currency for each day thereafter). The failure of any Participant to make available to such Issuing Bank its Dollar Percentage (in the case of a Dollar Letter of Credit) or relevant Alternate Currency RL Percentage (in the case of an Alternate Currency Letter of Credit) (or, after the occurrence of a Sharing Event, its RL Percentage) of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to such Issuing Bank its Dollar Percentage (in the case of a Dollar Letter of Credit) or relevant Alternate Currency RL Percentage (in the case of an Alternate Currency Letter of Credit) (or, after the occurrence of a Sharing Event, its RL Percentage) of any unreimbursed payment with respect to a Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such Issuing Bank such other Participant’s Dollar Percentage or relevant Alternate Currency RL Percentage (or, after the occurrence of a Sharing Event, its RL Percentage), as applicable, of any such payment.

          (d) Whenever any Issuing Bank receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it has received any payments from the Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, such Issuing Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of each Participant which has paid its Dollar Percentage (in the case of a Dollar Letter of Credit) or relevant Alternate Currency RL Percentage (in the case of an Alternate Currency Letter of

Credit) (or, after the occurrence of a Sharing Event, its RL Percentage) thereof, in Dollars (or, in the case of an Alternate Currency Letter of Credit, at any time prior to the occurrence of a Sharing Event, the Alternate Currency in which such Alternate Currency Letter of Credit is denominated) and in same day funds, an amount equal to such Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations. The payment required to be made by the respective Issuing Bank to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made on the day the respective payment of a reimbursement is received by such Issuing Bank (if payment was actually received by such Issuing Bank prior to 12:00 Noon (local time in the city in which such payments are to be made)).

          (e) The obligations of the Participants to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of each Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever (except as otherwise provided in the proviso to the second sentence of Section 2.04(c)) and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:

     (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents;

     (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), any Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Participant, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between any Credit Party or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Credit Party and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

     (iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

     (iv) the surrender or impairment of any guaranty for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; or

     (v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

          2.05 Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings. (a) Each Account Party hereby agrees to reimburse the respective Issuing Bank, by making payment in Dollars (or, in the case of a reimbursement under an Alternate Currency Letter of Credit, at any time prior to the occurrence of a Sharing Event, the Alternate Currency in which such Alternate Currency Letter of Credit is denominated) and in immediately available funds directly to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office for the benefit of such Issuing Bank, for any payment or disbursement (in the case of any such payment or disbursement under any Alternate Currency Letter of

Credit which is unpaid on the date of the occurrence of a Sharing Event, or which payments or disbursements are made thereafter, taking the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the respective payment or disbursement made in the respective Alternate Currency in which such Alternate Currency Letter of Credit is denominated as such Dollar Equivalent is determined on the first date upon which the respective Sharing Event occurs or, if later, the date upon which the respective payment or disbursement is made) made by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit issued by it for the account of the respective Account Party (with each such amount so paid, until reimbursed, an “Unpaid Drawing”), not later than the Business Day after the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank notifies the respective Account Party of such payment or disbursement, with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Bank, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 2:00 P.M. (New York time), on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but excluding the date such Issuing Bank is reimbursed by the respective Account Party therefor at a rate per annum which shall be (x) in the case of Dollar Letters of Credit and other amounts owing in Dollars after the occurrence of a Sharing Event, the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Dollar Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans as in effect from time to time and (y) in the case of Alternate Currency Letters of Credit denominated in a given Alternate Currency for periods occurring prior to the occurrence of a Sharing Event, the relevant Euro Rate (as determined on the basis provided in the proviso appearing in the definition of the relevant Euro Rate) in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Alternate Currency Revolving Loans as in effect from time to time plus any Mandatory Costs, provided, however, to the extent such amounts are not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) on the third Business Day following the receipt of notice by the respective Account Party from the Administrative Agent or the respective Issuing Bank of such payment or disbursement or upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 10.05, interest shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Bank (and until reimbursed by the respective Account Party) at a rate per annum which shall be (x) in the case of Dollar Letters of Credit and other amounts owing in Dollars after the occurrence of a Sharing Event, the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Dollar Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans as in effect from time to time plus 2% and (y) in the case of Alternate Currency Letters of Credit denominated in a given Alternate Currency for periods occurring prior to the occurrence of a Sharing Event, the relevant Euro Rate (as determined on the basis provided in the proviso appearing in the definition of the relevant Euro Rate) in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Alternate Currency Revolving Loans as in effect from time to time plus any Mandatory Costs plus 2%, in each such case, with interest to be payable on demand, provided further, that it is understood and agreed that the notice referred to above in this clause (a) and in the immediately preceding proviso shall not be required to be given if a Default or an Event of Default under Section 10.05 shall have occurred and be continuing (in which case the Unpaid Drawings shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by each Account Party) and shall bear interest at the rate provided in the foregoing proviso). The respective Issuing Bank shall give the respective Account Party and the Administrative Agent (if not the Issuing Bank under the respective Letter of Credit) prompt written notice of each Drawing under any Letter of Credit, provided that the failure to give any such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish the respective Account Party’s obligations hereunder.

          (b) The obligations of each Account Party under this Section 2.05 to reimburse the respective Issuing Bank with respect to Unpaid Drawings (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the respective Account Party may have or have had against any Lender (including in its capacity as issuer of the Letter of Credit or as Participant), including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit (each, a “Drawing”) to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any nonapplication or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing; provided that the respective Issuing Bank shall be responsible for any damages (excluding consequential damages) to the respective Account Party for its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) in connection with drawings made under a Letter of Credit which did not comply or conform to the terms of the respective Letter of Credit.

          2.06 Increased Costs. If at any time after the Effective Date, the introduction of or any change in any applicable law, rule, regulation, order, guideline or request or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Issuing Bank or any Participant with any request or directive by any such authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall either (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by any Issuing Bank or participated in by any Participant, or (ii) impose on any Issuing Bank or any Participant any other conditions relating, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Issuing Bank or any Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Issuing Bank or any Participant hereunder or reduce the rate of return on its capital with respect to Letters of Credit (except for changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or profits or franchise taxes based on net income of such Issuing Bank or such Participant pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or in which its principal office or applicable lending office is located or any subdivision thereof or therein), then, upon written demand to the respective Account Party by such Issuing Bank or any Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Bank or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), the respective Account Party shall pay to such Issuing Bank or such Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in the amount receivable or reduction on the rate of return on its capital. Any Issuing Bank or any Participant, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.06, will give prompt written notice thereof to the respective Account Party, which notice shall include a certificate submitted to the respective Account Party by such Issuing Bank or such Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Bank or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Bank or such Participant. The certificate required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on the respective Account Party.

          SECTION 3. Fees; Reductions of Commitment.

           3.01  Fees (a) The Corporation agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars for distribution to each Non-Defaulting Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) for the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Maturity Date (or such earlier date as the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall have been terminated), computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin (as in effect from time to time) on the daily Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender.

          (e) At the time of the incurrence of each Bankers’ Acceptance Loan, Acceptance Fees shall be paid by the respective Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Borrower as required by, and in accordance with, clause (g) of Schedule III.

Upon at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the Corporation shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, without premium or penalty, to terminate or partially reduce the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment; provided that any partial reduction pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be in an amount of at least $5,000,000 or, if greater, in integral multiples of $5,000,000 thereof. Each reduction to the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall apply to reduce the Revolving Loan Commitments of the various RL Lenders pro rata based on their respective RL Percentages. At the time of each reduction to the Revolving Loan Commitment of any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.02, the Corporation shall specify the amount of such reduction to apply to the various Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments of such Lender and to the

-44-

Non-Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment of such Lender (the sum of which must equal the reduction to the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender); provided that all Lenders with Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments relating to a given Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche shall be treated in a consistent fashion (i.e., with no reductions, or with proportionate reductions, to their respective Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments) at the time of any reduction to the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section 3.02. In the absence of a designation by the Corporation pursuant to this Section 3.02, the amount of any reduction to the Revolving Loan Commitment of any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall apply (i) first, to reduce the Non-Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment of the respective Lender and (ii) second, to the extent in excess thereof, to reduce the Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments of such Lender in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the respective amounts of the Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments of such Lender as then in effect).

          3.03 Mandatory Reduction of Commitments. (a) In addition to any other mandatory commitment reductions pursuant to this Section 3.03, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment (and the Revolving Loan Commitment, each Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment and the Non-Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety on the earlier of (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, the date on which a Change of Control occurs.

          (b) Each reduction to the Total Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to this Section 3.03 shall be applied proportionately to reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment of each RL Lender.

          (b) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) agrees to deliver to the Corporation and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Effective Date, or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 1.14 or 13.04 (unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) (or successor forms) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note, or (ii) if the Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E (any such certificate, a “Section 4.04(b)(ii) Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under any Note. In addition, each Lender agrees that from time to time after the Effective Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, it will deliver to the Corporation and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to the benefits of any income tax treaty), or Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and a Section 4.04(b)(ii) Certificate, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Note, or it shall immediately notify the Corporation and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such Form or Certificate in which case such Lender shall not be required to deliver any such Form or Certificate pursuant to this Section 4.04(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 4.04(a), but subject to the last sentence of Section 13.04(b) and the immediately succeeding sentence, (x) each Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold income or similar taxes imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, fees or other amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Lender which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes to the extent that such Lender has not provided to the Corporation U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms that establish a complete

-51-

exemption from such deduction or withholding and (y) the Borrowers shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 4.04(a) hereof to gross-up payments to be made to a Lender in respect of income or similar taxes imposed by the United States if (I) such Lender has not provided to the Corporation the U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms required to be provided to the Corporation pursuant to this Section 4.04(b) or (II) in the case of a payment, other than interest, to a Lender described in clause (ii) above, to the extent that such forms do not establish a complete exemption from withholding of such taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Section 4.04 and except as set forth in Section 13.04(b), each Borrower agrees to pay additional amounts and to indemnify each Lender in the manner set forth in Section 4.04(a) (without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in respect of any amounts deducted or withheld by it as described in the immediately preceding sentence (x) as a result of any changes that are effective after the Effective Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of income or similar Taxes or (y) as a result of the purchase of a participation as required by Section 1.17 following the occurrence of a Sharing Event.

          (c) Each Lender shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions and subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to file any certificate or document or to furnish any information as reasonably requested by the respective Borrower pursuant to any applicable treaty, law or regulation if the making of such filing or the furnishing of such information would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any additional amounts payable by the respective Borrower and would not, in the sole discretion of such Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender.

          7.03 Financial Statements; Financial Condition; Undisclosed Liabilities; Projections; etc. (a) The consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, filed with the SEC as part of the Corporation’s annual report on Form 10-K, fairly present in all material respects the consolidated results of operations of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries for the respective Fiscal Years ended on such dates, and the consolidated financial position of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries as at the dates of such balance sheets. Furthermore, the consolidated financial statements of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, as at September 30, 2005 and for the nine-month period ended on such date, filed with the SEC as part of the Corporation’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q, fairly present in all material respects the consolidated results of operations of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries for the nine-month

period ended on such date, and the consolidated financial position of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries at the date of such balance sheet. All such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the September 30, 2005 financial statements.

          (b) Since December 31, 2004 (but, for this purpose, assuming that the Transaction had been consummated on such date), nothing has occurred that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

          (c) On and as of the Initial Borrowing Date, after giving effect to the Transaction and to all Indebtedness (including the Loans) being incurred or assumed and Liens created by the Credit Parties in connection therewith, (a) the sum of the assets, at a fair valuation, of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole and each Borrower on a stand-alone basis will exceed their or its respective debts; (b) the Corporation and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole and each Borrower on a stand-alone basis have or has not incurred and do or does not intend to incur, and do or does not believe that they or it will incur, debts beyond their or its ability to pay such debts as such debts mature; and (c) the Corporation and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole and each Borrower on a stand-alone basis will have sufficient capital with which to conduct their or its respective businesses. For purposes of this Section 7.03(c), “debt” means any liability on a claim, and “claim” means (i) right to payment, whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured, or unsecured or (ii) right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured.

          (d) Except as disclosed in the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.03(a) and the Indebtedness incurred in connection with the Transaction, there were as of the Initial Borrowing Date no liabilities or obligations with respect to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether or not due) which, either individually or in aggregate, has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the Initial Borrowing Date, no Borrower knows of any basis for the assertion against it or any of its Subsidiaries of any liability or obligation of any nature whatsoever that is not disclosed in the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.03(a) which, either individually or in the aggregate, has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (e) On and as of the Initial Borrowing Date, the Projections have been prepared in good faith and are based on reasonable assumptions under the then known facts and circumstances, and there are no statements or conclusions in any of the Projections which are based upon or include information known to any Borrower to be misleading in any material respect or which knowingly fail to take into account material information regarding the matters reported therein; it being understood, however, that nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation that the results forecasted in such Projections will in fact be achieved. On the Initial Borrowing Date, each Borrower believes that the Projections are reasonable and attainable based upon the then known facts and circumstances, it being understood that nothing contained herein

shall constitute a representation that the results forecasted in such Projections will in fact be achieved.

          7.04 Litigation. There are no pending or, to the best knowledge of any Borrower, threatened actions, investigations or proceedings affecting the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries or any other Credit Party, or any of their respective Assets or revenues before any court, Governmental Authority or arbitrator, that in the aggregate have had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. The performance of any action by any Credit Party required or contemplated by any of the Documents is not, to the best knowledge of each Borrower, restrained or enjoined (either temporarily, preliminarily or permanently), and, to the best knowledge of each Borrower, no material adverse condition has been imposed by any Governmental Authority or arbitrator upon any of the foregoing transactions contemplated by the aforementioned documents.

          7.05 True and Complete Disclosure. All factual information (other than the Projections, which are covered in Section 7.03(e)) (taken as a whole) furnished by any Credit Party in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including, without limitation, all information contained in the Documents and the Bank Information Memorandum), is, and all other such factual information (taken as a whole) hereafter furnished by or on behalf of any Credit Party in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender will be, true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is dated or certified and not incomplete by omitting to state any fact necessary to make such information (taken as a whole) not misleading in any material respect at such time in light of the circumstances under which such information was provided.

          7.06 Use of Proceeds. (a) The proceeds of Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and Competitive Bid Loans incurred by the respective Borrower will be used (x) to finance the Transaction and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith and (y) for such Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ general corporate and working capital purposes; provided, however, that Revolving Loans incurred by Starwood REIT will be used solely for purposes and transactions contemplated by the Host Transaction or to directly or indirectly (by way of intercompany loans and/or contributions to Subsidiaries) to defease Starwood REIT’s and its Subsidiaries’ share of the outstanding indebtedness (the “CMBS Debt”) under that certain Loan Agreement, dated as January 27, 1999, among the various Subsidiaries of the Corporation named therein and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. d/b/a Lehman Capital, a division of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (as amended, modified and/or supplemented from time to time, the “CMBS Loan Agreement”).

          (b) Neither the making of any Loan nor the use of the proceeds thereof nor the occurrence of any other Credit Event will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of Regulation T, U or X.

          (c) At the time of each Credit Event occurring on or after the Initial Borrowing Date, not more than 25% of the value of the assets of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole will constitute Margin Stock.

          7.07 Taxes. All federal, state, local and foreign tax returns, reports and statements (collectively, the “Tax Returns”) required to be filed by the Corporation and its Subsidiaries or any Tax Affiliate thereof have been filed with the appropriate governmental agencies in all jurisdictions in which such Tax Returns are required to be filed. All such Tax Returns are true and correct in all material respects, and all taxes, charges and other impositions due and payable have been timely paid prior to the date on which any fine, penalty, interest, late charge or loss may be added thereto for non-payment thereof, except where contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings if (i) adequate reserves therefor have been established on the books of the Corporation, such Subsidiary or such Tax Affiliate in conformity with GAAP and (ii) all such non-payments in the aggregate have, and will have, no Material Adverse Effect. Proper and accurate amounts have been withheld by the Corporation and each of its Subsidiaries and Tax Affiliates from their respective employees for all periods in full and complete compliance with the tax, social security and unemployment withholding provisions of applicable federal, state, local and foreign law and such withholdings have been timely paid to the respective Governmental Authorities. Except as otherwise disclosed on Schedule 7.07, none of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or Tax Affiliates has (i) executed or filed with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service any agreement or other document extending, or having the effect of extending, the period for assessment or collection of any charges; (ii) agreed or been requested to make any adjustment under Section 481(a) of the Code by reason of a change in accounting method or otherwise; or (iii) any obligation under any written tax sharing agreement.

owned or operated by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) to cause any Real Property owned or operated by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to be subject to any restrictions imposed by Environmental Laws on the nature of the use or the transferability of such Real Property by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any applicable Environmental Law.

rights or remedies provided herein or in the other Credit Documents, or (b) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials in the air, surface water or groundwater or on the surface or subsurface of any Real Property at any time owned or operated by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the generation, storage, transportation, handling, disposal or Release of Hazardous Materials at any Real Property, whether or not owned or operated by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the non-compliance of any Real Property with foreign, federal, state and local laws, regulations, and ordinances (including applicable permits thereunder) applicable to any Real Property, or any Environmental Claim asserted against, in connection with or arising from, any Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any Real Property at any time owned or operated by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, including, in each case, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and other consultants incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding (but excluding any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses of an Indemnified Person, to the extent incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless any Agent or any Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrowers shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

          (b) To the full extent permitted by applicable law, no Borrower shall assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or incidental damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

          13.02 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized (to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Credit Party or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of such Credit Party to such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section 13.06(b), and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not such Lender

-129-

shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured.

          13.04 Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, that no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder or under any Credit Document without the prior written consent of the Agents and all the Lenders (except that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Corporation and any other Dollar Revolving Loan Borrower may assign or transfer its rights hereunder and under the other Credit Documents to which it is a party in connection with a merger or consolidation with or into another Person as contemplated by (and in accordance with the requirements of) Section 9.02) and, provided further, that, although any Lender may transfer or grant participations in its rights hereunder to any Eligible Transferee, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Revolving Loan Commitments and/or outstanding Loans hereunder except as provided in Section 13.04(b)) and the participant shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder and, provided further, that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note, or the scheduled expiration date of any Letter of Credit in which such participant is participating, beyond the Maturity Date, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or Fees thereon or reduce the principal amount thereof (except to the extent repaid in cash) (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section 13.07(a) or (b) shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i), so long as the primary purpose of the respective amendments or modifications to the financial definitions was not to reduce the interest or Fees payable hereunder), or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in any Commitment shall not constitute

-130-

a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (except that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Corporation and any other Dollar Revolving Loan Borrower may assign or transfer its rights hereunder in connection with a merger or consolidation with or into another Person as contemplated by (and in accordance with the requirements of) Section 9.02) and (iii) release any DRLB Guarantor from its Guaranty (unless such DRLB Guarantor ceases to be a Dollar Revolving Loan Borrower in accordance with Section 13.12(d)) or, except in accordance with the terms of the Sheraton Guaranty, release Sheraton from the Sheraton Guaranty (it being understood, however, that the assumption by another Person of any DLRB Guarantor’s or Sheraton’s obligations under the relevant Guaranty in connection with a merger or consolidation of such DLRB Guarantor or Sheraton, as the case may be, with such other Person as contemplated by (and in accordance with the requirements of) Section 9.02 shall not be construed to be a release of such DRLB Guarantor or Sheraton, as the case may be, from its Guaranty). In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and the Borrowers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and all amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may (x) assign all or a portion of its Commitments and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Commitments with respect to the relevant Tranche have terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to an Eligible Transferee which is (i) (a) its parent company and/or any affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company or (b) to one or more Lenders or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans, any other fund that invests in bank loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor, provided that in respect of any assignment pursuant to preceding clauses (i) and (ii) of less than $5,000,000 in the aggregate of such Lender’s Commitments and related outstanding Obligations, at the time of any such assignment the Lender shall provide the Administrative Agent with the name of a single entity to receive all notices under this Agreement on behalf of such assigning Lender and its affiliates, or (y) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least $5,000,000 in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning Lenders, of such Commitments and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Commitments with respect to the relevant Tranche have terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees, each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, provided that, (i) the assignment by any Lender of its Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments (or any portion thereof) shall constitute the assignment of a like amount of such Lender’s (or its respective Affiliate’s) Revolving Loan Commitment, (ii) any assignment of all or any portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment of any Lender shall be required to be accompanied by the assignment of all or such portions of the Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments and/or Non-Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment of such Lender (or its respective Affiliate) as is equal, in the

aggregate, to the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment being so assigned, (iii) any assignment of all or any portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Revolving Loan Commitment has terminated, any assignment of Obligations originally extended pursuant to the Revolving Loan Commitments) shall be made on a basis such that the respective assignee participates in Revolving Loans, and in Letter of Credit Outstandings, in accordance with the Revolving Loan Commitment (and Sub-Commitments described above) so assigned (or if the Revolving Loan Commitment has terminated, on the same basis as participated in by the Lenders with Revolving Loan Commitments (and Sub-Commitments described above) prior to the termination thereof), (iv) at such time Schedules I-A and, if applicable, I-B shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments and, if applicable, Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, (v) upon the surrender of the relevant Notes by the assigning Lender (or, upon such assigning Lender’s indemnifying the respective Borrower for any lost Note pursuant to a customary indemnification agreement) new Notes will be issued, at the Borrowers’ expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender upon the request of such new Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 1.06 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments (and Sub-Commitments), (vi) the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required in connection with any assignment to an Eligible Transferee pursuant to clause (y) above, (vii) any assignment of all or any portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment of any Lender (or, if the Revolving Loan Commitment has terminated, any assignment which would include participations in outstanding Letters of Credit and/or obligations to fund Mandatory Borrowings) shall require the consent of the Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (viii) at any time when no Specified Default or Event of Default is in existence, the approval of the Corporation shall be required (except with respect to assignments pursuant to clause (x) above), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (ix) the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500, and (x) promptly after such assignment, the Borrowers shall have received from the Administrative Agent notice of any such assignment and of the identity, nationality and applicable lending office of any such Eligible Transferee that is not a United States Person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), together with the copy of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement relating thereto and, provided further, that such transfer or assignment will not be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 13.15 hereof. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments and related Obligations. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder and which is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax purposes, the respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, provide to the Corporation the U.S. Internal Revenue Forms (and, if applicable a Section 4.04(b)(ii) Certificate) described Section 4.04 (b). To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitments and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 1.14 or this Section 13.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 1.11, 1.16(b), 2.06 or 4.04 in excess of those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such excess increased costs (although the Borrowers, in

-132-

accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay the costs which are not in excess of those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment and any subsequent increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment).

          (c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Notes or Loans to a trustee in support of its obligations to such trustee and others. No pledge pursuant to this clause (c) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

          13.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between any Borrower or any other Credit Party and any Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which any Agent or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of any Agent or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

          13.06 Payments Pro Rata. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of any Borrower in respect of any Obligations hereunder, it shall distribute such payment to the Lenders (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

          (b) Except to the extent that this Agreement provides for payments to be allocated to the Lenders under a particular Tranche or with particular Obligations, if any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans or the other Obligations owing to it, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 10.05, or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans or the other Obligations owing to such other Lender, or interest thereon, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lender a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans and/or other Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender,

such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of preceding Sections 13.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which (x) require differing payments to be made with respect to the various Tranches of Loans or (y) prohibit payments in respect of any Tranche of Loans.

          13.07 Calculations; Computations. (a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by the Borrowers to the Lenders).

          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clause (a) of this Section 13.07, except as expressly otherwise provided herein, all calculations determining the “Applicable Margins”, compliance with Section 9 and the financial terms as used herein shall be made in accordance with GAAP.

          (c) All computations of interest, Facility Fees and other Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (or 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, in the case of interest on Base Rate Loans and Canadian Prime Rate Loans) for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest, Facility Fees or other Fees are payable.

          (d) For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever any interest or fee under this Agreement is calculated using a rate based on a year of 360 days or 365 days, as the case may be, the rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the applicable rate based on a year of 360 days or 365 days, as the case may be, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest or fee is payable (or compounded) ends, and (z) divided by 360 or 365, as the case may be; (ii) the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement; and (iii) the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields.

          13.08 GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS (EXCEPT, IN THE CASE OF OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS, AS SPECIFICALLY OTHERWISE PROVIDED THEREIN) AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE HOLDER OF ANY NOTE TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST ANY BORROWER IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

          (b) EACH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF THE AFORESAID ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE (a) ABOVE AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

such Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment (or Sub-Commitment) of any Lender, and that an increase in the available portion of any Commitment (or sub-commitment) of any Lender shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment (or Sub-Commitment) of such Lender), (w) without the consent of each Issuing Bank, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2 or alter its rights or obligations with respect to Letters of Credit, (x) without the consent of each Swingline Lender, alter its rights or obligations with respect to Swingline Loans, or (y) without the consent of the respective Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 12 or any other provision as same relates to the rights or obligations of such Agent.

Any removal of a Person as an Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Borrower shall have no effect on any obligations of such Person as an Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Borrower hereunder in respect of Obligations previously incurred by it hereunder or with respect to any of the indemnities set forth herein (including, without limitation, in Sections 1.11, 1.12, 1.16(b), 2.06, 4.04, 12.06 and 13.01), which shall survive the removal of such Person as an Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Borrower.

Upon the satisfaction of such provisions, such Person shall constitute a Dollar Revolving Loan Borrower and a Borrower party to this Agreement, without any further actions taken by any Persons.

Furthermore, the Corporation may, at any time and from time to time, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, remove any Dollar Revolving Loan Borrower (other than itself) as a Dollar Revolving Loan Borrower on a prospective basis; provided that at the time of such removal there are no outstanding Dollar Revolving Loans owing to such Dollar Revolving Loan Borrower, and all other amounts then due and payable by such Dollar Revolving Loan Borrower have been paid in full. Any removal of a Person as a Dollar Revolving Loan Borrower shall have no effect on any obligations of such Person as a Dollar Revolving Loan Borrower hereunder in respect of Obligations previously incurred by it hereunder or with respect to any of the indemnities set forth herein (including, without limitation, in Sections 1.11, 1.12, 1.16(b), 2.06, 4.04, 12.06 and 13.01), which shall survive the removal of such Person as a Dollar Revolving Loan Borrower; provided, however, that, in the case of the removal of Starwood REIT as a Dollar Revolving Loan Borrower as provided above at the time of the consummation of the Host Transaction (and the repayment in full of all Dollar Revolving Loans, and the payment of all accrued interest thereon, by Starwood REIT), Starwood REIT shall be released and discharged from all of its Obligations under this Agreement.

          (e) From time to time after the Effective Date, with the consent of the Corporation and the Administrative Agent, any RL Lender may agree (in its sole discretion) to re-allocate all or a portion of the Non-Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment of such RL Lender as an Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment of such RL Lender relating to a given Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche, in any such case pursuant to a written agreement entered into, and executed by, the respective RL Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Corporation and each other relevant Borrower in form and substance satisfactory to such parties (each, an “Sub-Commitment Re-Allocation Agreement”); provided that (x) the Non-Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment of the respective Lender shall be decreased by the amount of any increase in an Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment effected pursuant to the respective Sub-Commitment Re-Allocation Agreement, (y) arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent shall be made so that, after giving effect to the adjustment to the respective Lender’s Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment, such Lender participates in all then outstanding extensions of credit on the same basis as it would otherwise have so participated if it had originally had Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments and a related Non-Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment as same will be in effect after giving effect to the changes contemplated by this clause (e) (including arrangements of the type described in the second sentence of Section 13.12(f) below) and (z) without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, no increase to any Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment of any Lender relating to a given Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche shall be made pursuant to this clause (e) if, immediately after giving effect thereto, (1) the aggregate amount of Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitments of all RL Lenders relating to such Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche would exceed the relevant Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment Sub-Limit for such Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Tranche or (2) the Total Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment would exceed the lesser of (I) $1,225,000,000 and (II) the Total Revolving Loan Commitment as then in effect.

          (f) From time to time after the Effective Date, if one or more Alternate Currency RL Lenders desires to reduce the amount of its Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Sub-Commitment with respect to one or more Alternate Currencies, then the respective Alternate

-138-

-139-

of Section 1.19, enter into an Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement, provided that after the execution and delivery by the Corporation, any other relevant Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each such Incremental RL Lender of such Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement, such Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement may thereafter only be modified in accordance with the requirements of clause (a) through (f) above of this Section 13.12 and (ii) the Corporation, any other relevant Borrower, the Administrative Agent and any Alternate Currency RL Lender may, in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.12(e), enter into a Sub-Commitment Re-Allocation Agreement, provided that after the execution and delivery thereof, such Sub-Commitment Re-Allocation Agreement may thereafter only be modified in accordance with the requirements of clause (a) through (f) above of this Section 13.12.

          13.13 Survival. All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Sections 1.11, 1.12, 1.16(b), 2.06, 4.04, 12.06 and 13.01 shall survive the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Credit Documents and the making and repayment of the Obligations (it being understood and agreed that all such indemnities shall also survive as to any Lender that has assigned all of its obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 13.04(b) with respect to the period of time in which such Lender was a “Lender” hereunder).

          13.14 Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section 13.14 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 1.11, 1.12, 1.16(b), 2.06 or 4.04 in excess of those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such excess increased costs (although the Borrowers, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay the costs which would apply in the absence of such designation and any subsequent increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective transfer).

          13.15 Register. Each Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as such Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes of this Section 13.15, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the respective Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitments of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitments shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitments and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 13.04(b). Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of

-140-

assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note, if any, evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall, if requested, be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender. The registration of any provision of Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to Section 1.19 shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance of the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement. Coincident with the delivery of such Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment Agreement for acceptance and registration of the provision of an Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment, or as soon thereafter as practicable, new Revolving Notes shall be issued to the respective Incremental RL Lender at the request of such Incremental RL Lender. Each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 13.15.

          13.16 Judgment Currency. (a) The Credit Parties’ obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents to make payments in the respective Applicable Currency (the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent or the respective Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents. If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Credit Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made, at the Alternate Currency Equivalent or the Dollar Equivalent thereof, as the case may be, and, in the case of other currencies, the rate of exchange (as quoted by the Administrative Agent or if the Administrative Agent does not quote a rate of exchange on such currency, by a known dealer in such currency designated by the Administrative Agent) determined, in each case, as of the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).

          (b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the Borrowers covenant and agree to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate or exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

          (c) For purposes of determining the Alternate Currency Equivalent or the Dollar Equivalent or any other rate of exchange for this Section, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.

          13.17 Confidentiality. (a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 13.17, each Lender agrees that it will use its reasonable best efforts not to disclose without the prior consent of the Corporation (other than to its employees, officers, directors, auditors, advisors or counsel or to another Lender if the Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information, provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.17 to the same extent as such Lender) any information with respect to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, provided that any Lender may disclose any such information (a) as has become generally available to the public other than by virtue of a breach of this Section by such Lender, (b) to the extent such information was legally in possession of such Lender prior to its receipt from or on behalf of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries and was from a source not known to such Lender to be (x) bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Corporation or (y) otherwise prohibited from transmitting such information to such Lender by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation, (c) such information becomes available to such Lender from a source other than the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries and such source is not known to such Lender to be (x) bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Corporation or (y) otherwise prohibited from transmitting such information to such Lender by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation, (d) as may be required or reasonably appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to, or in response to a request from, any municipal, state or Federal governmental or regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or to the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the NAIC or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, (e) as may be required or reasonably appropriate in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (f) in order to comply with any Requirement of Law applicable to such Lender, (g) to any Agent or any other Lender, (h) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparties in swap agreements or such contractual counterparties’ professional advisors; provided that such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees in writing to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of the Lenders thereunder, and (i) to any prospective or actual transferee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Notes or Commitments or any interest therein by such Lender, provided that such prospective transferee shall have agreed to be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.17(a).

          (b) Each of the Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that each Lender may, in connection with the Transaction or the participation of such Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, share with any of its affiliates any information related to the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any nonpublic customer information regarding the creditworthiness of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.17 to the same extent as such Lender).

          13.18 Patriot Act Each Lender subject to the USA PATRIOT ACT (Title 111 of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower and the other Credit Parties and other information that

-142-

will allow such Lender to identify each Borrower and the other Credit Parties in accordance with the Act.

          13.19 Post-Closing Matters Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Foreign Subsidiaries of the Corporation (other than Starwood Canada) which are obligees with respect to Intercompany Debt shall not be required to execute and deliver the Subordination Agreement as otherwise required by Section 5.06(b) until the date occurring 45 days after the Initial Borrowing Date (or such later date as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion). All provisions of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including, without limitation, all conditions precedent, representations, warranties, covenants, events of default and other agreements herein and therein) shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to effect the foregoing (and to permit the taking of the actions described above within the time period required above, rather than as otherwise provided in the Credit Documents); provided that to the extent any representation and warranty would not be true because the foregoing actions were not taken on the Initial Borrowing Date, the respective representation and warranty shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects at the time the respective action is taken (or was required to be taken) in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.19. The acceptance of the benefits of each Credit Event shall constitute a covenant and agreement by each Credit Agreement Party to each of the Lenders that the actions required pursuant to this Section 13.19 will be, or have been, taken within the relevant time period referred to above in this Section 13.19 and that, at such time, all representations and warranties contained in this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall then be true and correct without any modification pursuant to this Section 13.19. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the failure to take any of the actions required above, within the relevant time period required above, shall give rise to an immediate Event of Default pursuant to this Agreement.

          SECTION 14. DRL Borrower Guaranty.

          14.01 The Guaranty. In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder and to induce the Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates to enter into Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements, and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by each DRLB Guarantor from the proceeds of the Loans, the issuance of the Letters of Credit and the entering into of Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging Agreements, each DRLB Guarantor hereby agrees with the Lenders as follows: each DRLB Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of any and all of its Relevant Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors. If any or all of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations of any DRLB Guarantor to the Guaranteed Creditors becomes due and payable hereunder, each DRLB Guarantor unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand, together with any and all expenses which may be incurred by the Guaranteed Creditors in collecting any of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations. This DRL Borrower Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. This DRL Borrower Guaranty is a continuing one and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. If claim is ever made upon any

-143-

Guaranteed Creditor for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including any Relevant Guaranteed Party), then and in such event the respective DRLB Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon such DRLB Guarantor, notwithstanding any revocation of this DRL Borrower Guaranty or any other instrument evidencing any liability of any Relevant Guaranteed Party, and each DRLB Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee.

          14.02 Bankruptcy. Additionally, each DRLB Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment of any and all of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors whether or not due or payable by any Relevant Guaranteed Party upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 10.05, and unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand.

          14.03 Nature of Liability. The liability of each DRLB Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and independent of any guaranty of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations whether executed by such DRLB Guarantor, any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of each DRLB Guarantor hereunder is not affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by any Relevant Guaranteed Party or any other party, or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations, or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by any Relevant Guaranteed Party, or (e) any payment made to the Guaranteed Creditors on the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations which any such Guaranteed Creditor repays to any Relevant Guaranteed Party pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each DRLB Guarantor waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, or (f) any action or inaction of the type described in Section 14.05, or (g) the lack of validity or enforceability of any Credit Document or any other instrument relating thereto.

          14.04 Independent Obligation. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations shall affect, impair or be a defense to this DRL Borrower Guaranty, and this DRL Borrower Guaranty shall be primary, absolute and unconditional notwithstanding the occurrence of any event or the existence of any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or a defense available to, a surety or guarantor except indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each DRLB Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any Relevant Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any DRLB Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any Relevant Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party and whether or not any Relevant Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party

-144-

be joined in any such action or actions. Each DRLB Guarantor waives, to the full extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by any Relevant Guaranteed Party or other circumstance that operates to toll any statute of limitations as to such Relevant Guaranteed Party shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to the relevant DRLB Guarantor.

          14.05 Authorization. Each DRLB Guarantor authorizes the Guaranteed Creditors without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:

     (a) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and this DRLB Guarantor Guaranty shall apply to the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed, increased or altered;

     (b) take and hold security for the payment of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations and sell, exchange, release, impair, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset thereagainst;

     (c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any Relevant Guaranteed Party or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

     (d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, any Relevant Guaranteed Party or other obligors;

     (e) settle or compromise any of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Relevant Guaranteed Party to their respective creditors other than the Guaranteed Creditors;

     (f) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of any Relevant Guaranteed Party to the Guaranteed Creditors regardless of what liability or liabilities of such Relevant Guaranteed Party remain unpaid;

     (g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Agreement, any other Credit Document, any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Other Hedging Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein or therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement, any other Credit Document, any Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Other Hedging Agreement or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or

     (h) take any other action that would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of, or a defense available to, such DRLB Guarantor from its liabilities under this DRL Borrower Guaranty.

          14.06 Reliance. It is not necessary for the Guaranteed Creditors to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Relevant Guaranteed Party or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Relevant Guaranteed Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

          14.07 Subordination. Any of the indebtedness of any Relevant Guaranteed Party now or hereafter owing to any DRLB Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations of such Relevant Guaranteed Party owing to the Guaranteed Creditors; and if the Administrative Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such indebtedness of such Relevant Guaranteed Party to such DRLB Guarantor shall be collected, enforced and received by such DRLB Guarantor in trust for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Guaranteed Creditors on account of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations of such Relevant Guaranteed Party to the Guaranteed Creditors, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of any DRLB Guarantor under the other provisions of this DRL Borrower Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by any DRLB Guarantor of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any of the indebtedness of any Relevant Guaranteed Party to such DRLB Guarantor, such DRLB Guarantor shall mark such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each DRLB Guarantor hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors that it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this DRL Borrower Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all Relevant Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.

          14.08 Waiver. (a) Each DRLB Guarantor waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require any Guaranteed Creditor to (i) proceed against any other Relevant Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Relevant Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in any Guaranteed Creditor’s power whatsoever. Each DRLB Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Relevant Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, other than indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations, based on or arising out of the disability of any Relevant Guaranteed Party, any other guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Relevant Guaranteed Party other than indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations. The Guaranteed Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Guaranteed Creditors may have against any Relevant Guaranteed Party or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any DRLB Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Each DRLB Guarantor

-146-

waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such DRLB Guarantor against any Relevant Guaranteed Party or any other party or any security.

          (b) Each DRLB Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this DRL Borrower Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Relevant Guaranteed Obligations. Each DRLB Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Relevant Guaranteed Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which such DRLB Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Guaranteed Creditors shall have no duty to advise any DRLB Guarantor of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.

          (c) Until such time as the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash, each DRLB Guarantor hereby waives all rights of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this DRL Borrower Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) to the claims of the Guaranteed Creditors against any Relevant Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor of the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations and all contractual, statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from any Relevant Guaranteed Party or any other guarantor which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this DRL Borrower Guaranty.

          (d) Each DRLB Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that if any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

          14.09 Payments. All payments made by a DRLB Guarantor pursuant to this Section 14 shall be made in the respective Applicable Currency in which the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations are then due and payable (giving effect, in the circumstances contemplated by Section 1.17, to any conversion occurring pursuant thereto). All payments made by a DRLB Guarantor pursuant to this Section 14 will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, and shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 4.03, 4.04 and 13.16.

          14.10 Consent to Additional Obligations. Each DLRB Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement various Dollar Revolving Loan Borrowers and Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Borrowers may become party to the Credit Agreement from time to time and incur Loans and other Obligations thereunder and (ii) all Obligations of each Dollar Revolving Loan Borrower and each Alternate Currency Revolving Loan Borrower under the Credit Agreement shall be fully guaranteed hereunder (and constitute Relevant Guaranteed Obligations of such DLRB Guarantor) and no consent of such DLRB Guarantor shall be required to effect the same.

          14.11 Fraudulent Conveyance Limitation. Each DLRB Guarantor (other than the Corporation) hereby confirms that it is its intention that this DRL Borrower Guaranty not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or any similar Federal, state or foreign law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, each DLRB Guarantor (other than the Corporation) hereby irrevocably agrees that its Relevant Guaranteed Obligations shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other (contingent or otherwise) liabilities of such DLRB Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, result in its Relevant Guaranteed Obligations in respect of such maximum amount not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance; it being understood that in no event shall the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations of the Corporation be limited pursuant to the provisions of this Section 14.10 as the Corporation is the direct or indirect parent of each of the other DRLB Guarantors and, accordingly, is obtaining direct benefits from all extensions of credit to the DLRB Guarantors. Any limitation on the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations of any DLRB Guarantor resulting from the application of the provisions of this Section 14.10 shall have no effect on the Relevant Guaranteed Obligations of any other DLRB Guarantor or the Obligations of any other Credit Party (under its Guaranty), which (in each case) shall be determined as if there were no such limitation, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused their duly authorized officers to execute and deliver this Agreement as of the date first above written.
