Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”. The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall”. Unless the context requires otherwise (a) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein), (b) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns, (c) the words “herein”, “hereof” and

1.4. Exchange Rates. (a) Not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Exchange Rate Date on which there are any Loans denominated in a Qualified Foreign Global Currency or as Alternative Currency Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall (i) determine the Exchange Rate as of such Exchange Rate Date to be used for calculating the Dollar Equivalent amounts of each currency in which a Global Revolving Loan, Alternative Currency Letter of Credit or unreimbursed LC Disbursement is denominated and (ii) give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders. The Exchange Rates so determined shall remain effective until the next succeeding Exchange Rate Date and shall (other than for the purpose of converting into Dollars, under Sections 2A.5, 2A.6, 2A.8, 2A.9 and the obligations of the Borrowers and the Domestic Revolving Lenders in respect of LC Disbursements that have not been reimbursed when due) be the Exchange Rates employed in converting any amounts between the applicable currencies pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Exchange Rate Date, the Administrative Agent shall (i) determine the Global Revolving Exposure or the Alternative Currency LC Exposure, as the case may be, on such date (after giving effect to any Global Revolving Loans to be made or any Alternative Currency Letters of Credit to be issued, renewed, extended or terminated in connection with such determination) and (ii) notify the Borrower and, if applicable, each Issuing Lender of the results of such determination.

1.5. Currency Conversion.

(b) If a change in any currency of a country occurs, this Agreement shall be amended (and each party hereto agrees to enter into any supplemental agreement necessary to effect any such amendment) to the extent that the Administrative Agent specifies to be necessary to reflect the change in currency and to put the Lenders in the same position, so far as possible, that they would have been in if no change in currency had occurred.

-36-

1.6. Convertible Debt Accounting Guidance; Changes in GAAP. Notwithstanding any provision contained in the Credit Agreement to the contrary, solely for purposes of calculating any financial covenant required hereunder, such calculation shall ignore the application of the Convertible Debt Accounting Guidance, if and to the extent otherwise applicable to Borrower’s financial statements. If at any time any material change in GAAP would materially affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either the Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders (which shall not be unreasonably withheld)); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders an explanation of the impact of such change in reasonable detail satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE II.

THE CREDIT

2.1. Commitments; Reduction or Increase in Aggregate Commitment; Adjustment of Commitment.

(a) Commitment to Lend. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender in the applicable Facility severally and not jointly agrees (i) to make Domestic Revolving Loans in Dollars to the Parent Borrower or any Qualified Borrower from time to time prior to the Facility Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in such Lender’s Domestic Revolving Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Domestic Revolving Commitment, or the Total Domestic Exposure plus the amount of all outstanding Competitive Bid Loans exceeding the aggregate amount of the Domestic Revolving Commitment, and (ii) to make Global Revolving Loans in Dollars to Parent Borrower or any Qualified Borrower or in one or more Qualified Global Currencies (as specified in the Borrowing Requests with respect thereto) to the Parent Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary that is a Qualified Borrower from time to time prior to the Facility Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in such Lender’s Global Revolving Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Global Revolving Commitment or the Total Global Exposure exceeding the aggregate amount of the Global Revolving Commitment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Lenders be obligated to make a Competitive Bid Loan to a Foreign Subsidiary or a Loan in any currency other than Dollars to Parent Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary. The Borrowings may be ratable Floating Rate Borrowings (but only Loans in Dollars can be Floating Rate Borrowings), ratable Eurocurrency Borrowings or non-pro rata Competitive Bid Loans. This Facility is a revolving credit facility and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Borrower may request Borrowings hereunder, repay such Borrowings and reborrow Borrowings at any time prior to the Facility Termination Date.

(b) Loans to Qualified Borrowers. Subject to limitations set forth above with respect to which Borrowers can request certain types of Loans, a Qualified Borrower

-37-

shall have the right to request Borrowings, subject to all of the same terms and conditions as are applicable to the Parent Borrower provided that DDR gives Administrative Agent thirty (30) days prior notice of its intention to have a Qualified Borrower, other than DDRPR. Following receipt of such a notice, Administrative Agent agrees to promptly notify the Lenders of Borrower’s intention to have an additional Qualified Borrower. As a condition to any initial Borrowing to a Qualified Borrower (including DDRPR) such Qualified Borrower shall have executed and delivered a Qualified Borrower Note to Administrative Agent for the benefit of each of the Lenders, and Parent Borrower shall have executed and delivered a Qualified Borrower Guaranty relating to amounts to be borrowed by such Qualified Borrower, and Administrative Agent shall have received the items specified in Schedule 5 attached hereto with respect to such Qualified Borrower. If an initial Borrowing is requested by a Qualified Borrower, the Credit Agreement shall be deemed modified such that at any place where the term “Borrower” currently appears, such provision shall be modified to also include and apply to any such Qualified Borrower, as the context may require, and any reference to a “Note” shall include and apply to any Qualified Borrower Note, as the context may require.

Following the giving of any notice designating a Qualified Borrower, if such designation obligates the Administrative Agent or any Lender to comply with “know your customer” or similar identification procedures in circumstances where the necessary information is not already available to it, the Borrower shall, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, supply such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in order for the Administrative Agent or such Lender to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with the results of all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations.

If DDR shall designate as a Qualified Borrower hereunder any Subsidiary not organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or Puerto Rico, any Lender may, with notice to the Administrative Agent and DDR, fulfill its Commitment by causing an Affiliate of such Lender to act as the Lender in respect of such Qualified Borrower (and such Lender shall, to the extent of Borrowings made to and participations in Facility Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Qualified Borrower, be deemed for all purposes hereof to have pro tanto assigned such Borrowings and participations to such Affiliate) provided that either such Affiliate is a permitted assignee pursuant to Section 12.3 or such Lender is not released from its funding obligations if such Affiliate fails to fund.

To the extent that any Lender may not legally lend to, establish credit for the account of and/or do any business whatsoever with a designated Qualified Borrower that is a Foreign Subsidiary, directly or through an Affiliate of such Lender, such Lender shall so notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing. With respect to each such affected Lender, the Borrower shall, effective on or before the date that such Qualified Borrower shall have the right to borrow hereunder, either (A) notify the Administrative Agent and such affected Lender that the Commitments of such Lender shall be assigned to another Lender pursuant to Section 12.3 or terminated; provided that such affected Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding

-38-

principal of its Loans and/or Letter of Credit reimbursement obligations, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower or the relevant Qualified Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), or (B) cancel its request to designate such Subsidiary as a “Qualified Borrower” hereunder.

(c) Termination of Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Commitments of any Class in their entirety or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Commitments of any Class provided that no such termination or reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any payments of Borrowings made on the effective date thereof, the Total Domestic Exposure plus Competitive Bid Loans then outstanding would exceed the remaining aggregate Domestic Revolving Commitments or the Total Global Exposure to exceed the remaining aggregate Global Revolving Commitments, subject to the provisions of the following grammatical paragraph. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof and shall reduce permanently the Domestic Revolving Commitments or Global Revolving Commitments. Any such reduction shall reduce the Commitments of all of the Lenders ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments for that Class. The Administrative Agent shall promptly forward to the Lenders any notice of termination or reduction of the Commitments for any Class.

(d) Increase of Commitments. The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent on up to four (4) occasions during the period from the Closing Date to the Facility Termination Date, request incremental Commitments in an amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of $500,000,000 from one or more additional Lenders (which may include any existing Lender) willing to provide such incremental Commitments in their own discretion. The Administrative Agent and/or its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts, with the assistance of the Borrower, to arrange a syndicate of Lenders willing to hold the requested incremental Commitments. If Lenders are willing to provide such Incremental Commitments, the Domestic Revolving Commitments and/or the Global Revolving Commitments may be increased from time to time by the addition of a new Lender or the increase of the Commitment of an existing Lender with the consent of only the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the new or existing Lender providing such additional Commitment so long as the Aggregate Commitment does not exceed $1,250,000,000 less any voluntary reductions after the Closing Date pursuant to this Section 2.1. Nothing in this Section 2.1 shall constitute or be deemed to constitute an agreement by any Lender to increase its Commitments hereunder. Such increases shall be evidenced by the execution and delivery of an Amendment Regarding Increase in the form of Exhibit K attached hereto by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the new Lender or existing Lender providing such additional Commitment, a copy of which shall be forwarded to each Lender by the Administrative Agent promptly after execution thereof. On the effective date of each such increase in the Domestic Revolving Commitments or Global Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall cause the new or existing Lenders providing such increase to hold its or their pro rata share of all ratable Borrowings outstanding at the close of business on such day for such

-39-

Class, by either funding more than its or their pro rata share of new ratable Borrowings made on such date or purchasing shares of outstanding ratable Loans held by the other Lenders or a combination thereof. The Lenders agree to cooperate in any required sale and purchase of outstanding ratable Borrowings to achieve such result. The Borrower agrees to pay all fees associated with the increase in the Aggregate Commitment including any amounts due under Section 3.4 in connection with any reallocation of Eurocurrency Borrowings. In no event will such new or existing Lenders providing the increase be required to fund or purchase a portion of any Competitive Bid Loan to comply with this Section on such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no incremental Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.1 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 shall be satisfied and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower as to the board resolutions evidencing authority for such incremental Commitment and as to any changes to the formation documents of the Borrower since the Closing Date, and (iii) the Borrower shall be in pro forma compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 6.18 after giving effect to the Loans to be made on such date pursuant to such incremental Commitments and the application of the proceeds therefrom as if made and applied on such date.

(e) Adjustment of Commitments. Each party hereto agrees that so long as the total Commitment of a Lender stays the same and the sum of the Domestic Revolving Commitments and the Global Revolving Commitments does not exceed the Aggregate Commitment, the Domestic Revolving Commitment and the Global Revolving Commitment of such Lender can be changed with the consent of only the Borrower, Administrative Agent, and the affected Lender, and upon any such change, Schedule 1 shall be deemed modified to reflect such change and the Domestic Revolving Commitment amount and Global Revolving Commitment amount set forth in the definitions thereof shall be further deemed amended to reflect such change.

2.2. Loans and Borrowings. (a) Each Loan (other than a Competitive Bid Loan) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder.

(b) Subject to Section 3.3, (i) each Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be comprised entirely of Floating Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans as the relevant Borrower may request in accordance herewith and (ii) each Borrowing denominated in a Qualified Foreign Global Currency shall be comprised entirely of Eurocurrency Loans. Each Competitive Bid Loan shall be deemed outstanding under the Domestic Revolving Facility. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurocurrency Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the relevant Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

-40-

(c) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is not less than $1,000,000. At the time that each Floating Rate Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is not less than $1,000,000; provided that (i) a Floating Rate Borrowing under the Domestic Revolving Facility may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the aggregate Domestic Revolving Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2A.5 and (ii) a Floating Rate Borrowing in Dollars under the Global Revolving Facility may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the unused balance of the aggregate Global Revolving Commitments. No more than 20 Eurocurrency Borrowings may be outstanding at any one time under the Facilities.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, a Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Facility Termination Date.

2.3. Requests for Borrowings. To request a Revolving Borrowing, the relevant Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time (or if the request is a Borrowing in a Qualified Global Currency other than Dollars, delivered to the London Administrative Office, 11:00 a.m., London time), three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of a Floating Rate Borrowing, not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that any such notice of a Floating Rate Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2A.5 may be given not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.2: (i) the Borrower requesting such Borrowing; (ii) the Class and Type of the requested Borrowing; (iii) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing; (iv) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day; (v) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto; (vi) the location and number of the relevant Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.10; and (vii) the currency of such Borrowing (which shall be in Dollars in the case of Domestic Revolving Loans and Competitive Bid Loans, and otherwise shall be in a Qualified Global Currency). If no election as to the currency of a Global Revolving Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be denominated in Dollars. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be a Floating Rate Borrowing if denominated in Dollars or a Eurocurrency Borrowing if denominated in a Qualified Foreign Global Currency. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing, then the relevant Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each relevant Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

-41-

2.4. Applicable Margins. Each of the ABR Applicable Margin and the LIBOR Applicable Margin to be used in calculating the interest rate applicable to different Types of Borrowings and the Facility Fee Rate to be used in calculating the Facility Fee shall vary from time to time in accordance with the higher of Borrower’s then applicable Moody’s debt rating and S&P’s debt rating unless one of such two ratings is more than one rating category lower than the other, in which case the Applicable Margins and the Facility Fee Rate shall be based on the rating category which is in between such two ratings (or if there is more than one rating category in between the two ratings, the higher rating category in between the two ratings shall apply). The Applicable Margins shall be adjusted effective on the next Business Day following any change in Borrower’s Moody’s debt rating and/or S&P’s debt rating, as the case may be. The applicable debt ratings, the Applicable Margins and Facility Fee Rate are set forth in the following table:


S&P Rating	Moody’s Rating	LIBOR Applicable Margin			ABR Applicable Margin			Facility Fee Rate
A- or higher	A3 or higher		0.875	%		0	%		0.125	%
BBB+	Baa1		0.925	%		0	%		0.15	%
BBB	Baa2		1.00	%		0	%		0.20	%
BBB-	Baa3		1.20	%		0.20	%		0.25	%
Less than BBB-	Less than Baa3		1.55	%		0.55	%		0.30	%

In the event that either of S&P or Moody’s shall discontinue their ratings of the REIT industry or the Borrower, the Borrower may seek a debt rating from another substitute rating agency reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. For the period from the date of such discontinuance until the date the Borrower receives a debt rating from such new rating agency, the single rating from S&P or Moody’s, as the case may be, shall be used to determine the Applicable Margin and the Facility Fee Rate. If both S&P and Moody’s shall discontinue their ratings of the REIT industry or the Borrower, the Applicable Margin to be used for the calculation of interest on Borrowings hereunder shall be the highest Applicable Margin for each Type and the Facility Fee to be used for the calculation of the Facility Fee shall be the highest rate shown above.

If a rating agency downgrade or discontinuance results in an increase in the ABR Applicable Margin or the LIBOR Applicable Margin or in the Facility Fee Rate and if such increase is reversed and the affected Applicable Margin or Facility Fee Rate is restored within ninety (90) days thereafter, at Borrower’s request, Borrower shall receive a credit against interest next due the Lenders equal to (i) interest accrued at the differential between such Applicable Margins plus (ii) the differential in the Facility Fees accruing from time to time during such period of downgrade or discontinuance.

If a rating agency upgrade results in decrease in the ABR Applicable Margin or the LIBOR Applicable Margin or in the Facility Fee Rate and if such upgrade is reversed and the affected Applicable Margin or Facility Fee Rate is restored within ninety (90) days thereafter, Borrower shall be required to pay an amount to the Lenders equal to the interest differential on the Borrowings and the differential on the Facility Fees during such period of upgrade.

-42-

2.5. Final Principal Payment. Any outstanding Borrowings and all other unpaid Obligations shall be paid in full by the Borrower on the Facility Termination Date.

2.6. Facility Fee. Subject to Section 2.27(a), the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) calculated for each day after the Closing Date through the Facility Termination Date at a per annum rate equal to the Facility Fee Rate in effect for such day (converted to a per diem rate) times the Aggregate Commitment as of such day. The Facility Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter hereafter beginning June 30, 2015 (for the period from the Closing Date through June 30, 2015) and continuing on the last day of each calendar quarter thereafter, with any accrued and unpaid Facility Fee due and payable on the Facility Termination Date (for the period from the first day of the quarter during which the Facility Termination Date occurs through the Facility Termination Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, all accrued Facility Fees shall be payable on the effective date of any reduction in the Aggregate Commitment or any termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder.

2.7. Other Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay all fees payable to the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers pursuant to the Borrower’s letter agreements with (a) Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, dated March 17, 2015, and (b) JPMorgan Chase Bank and JPMorgan Securities LLC, dated March 24, 2015. The Borrower shall also pay the fee due to the Administrative Agent in connection with certain Competitive Bid Loans as provided in Section 2.22 hereof.

2.8. Principal Payments. (a) The Borrower may from time to time pay, without penalty or premium, all or any part of outstanding Floating Rate Borrowings without prior notice to the Administrative Agent. A Fixed Rate Borrowing may be paid on the last day of the applicable Interest Period or, if and only if the Borrower pays any amounts due to the Lenders under Sections 3.4 and 3.5 as a result of such prepayment, on a day prior to such last day. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Borrower have the right to prepay a Competitive Bid Loan without the consent of the applicable Competitive Bid Lender.

(b) If on any Exchange Rate Date relating to the Global Revolving Facility, the Total Global Exposure exceeds 105% of the total Global Revolving Commitments, the Parent Borrower shall, without notice or demand, within three Business Days after such Exchange Rate Date, prepay (or cause the relevant Qualified Borrower to prepay) Global Revolving Loans in an aggregate amount such that, after giving effect thereto, the Total Global Exposure does not exceed the total Global Revolving Commitments. If on any Exchange Rate Date relating to the Domestic Revolving Facility, the Total Domestic Exposure plus the amount of all outstanding Competitive Bid Loans exceeds 105% of the aggregate Domestic Revolving Commitments, the Parent Borrower shall, without notice or demand, within three Business Days after such Exchange Rate Date, prepay Borrowings or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2A.9 in an aggregate amount such that, after giving effect thereto, the Total Domestic Exposure plus the amount of all outstanding Competitive Bid Loans does not exceed the aggregate Domestic Revolving Commitments.

-43-

2.9. Funding of Borrowings. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders, in immediately available funds, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, in the case of fundings to an account in New York City, or 2:00 p.m., local time, in the case of fundings to an account in another jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the relevant Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account designated by such Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request, which account must be in the name of such Borrower provided that Floating Rate Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2A.5 shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Lender.

2.10. Interest Elections.

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, a Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. A Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Borrower may not (i) elect to convert the currency in which any Loans are denominated, (ii) elect to convert Qualified Foreign Global Currency Loans from Eurocurrency Loans to Floating Rate Loans, (iii) elect an Interest Period for Eurocurrency Loans that does not comply with Section 2.2(d), (iv) elect to convert any Floating Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Loans that would result in the number of Eurocurrency Borrowings exceeding the maximum number of Eurocurrency Borrowings permitted under Section 2.2(c), or (v) elect an Interest Period for Eurocurrency Loans unless the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Eurocurrency Loans (including any Eurocurrency Loans made to such Borrower in the same currency on the date that such Interest Period is to begin) to which such Interest Period will apply complies with the requirements as to minimum principal amount set forth in Section 2.2(c).

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section (an “Interest Election Request”), a Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.3 if such Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (hereinafter referred to as a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”).

-44-

(c) Each telephonic and written Conversion/Continuation Notice shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.2 and paragraph (a) of this Section: (i) the Borrowing to which such Conversion/Continuation Notice applies; (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Conversion/Continuation Notice, which shall be a Business Day; (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Floating Rate Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election. If any such Conversion/Continuation Notice requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the relevant Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise each relevant Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the relevant Borrower fails to deliver a timely Conversion/Continuation Notice with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a Floating Rate Borrowing. If the relevant Borrower fails to deliver a timely Conversion/Continuation Notice with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Qualified Foreign Global Currency prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall automatically continue as a Eurocurrency Loan having an Interest Period of one month.

2.11. Changes in Interest Rate, Etc. Each Floating Rate Borrowing shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Borrowing is made or is converted from a Fixed Rate Borrowing into a Floating Rate Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.10 to but excluding the date it becomes due or is converted into a Fixed Rate Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate for such day. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Borrowing maintained as a Floating Rate Borrowing will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each Fixed Rate Borrowing shall bear interest from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to such Fixed Rate Borrowing.

2.12. Rates Applicable After Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.9 or 2.10, during the continuance of a Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that (i) no Borrowing denominated in Dollars may be made as, converted into or continued as a Fixed Rate Borrowing, (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to a Floating Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (iii) no Borrowing denominated in a Qualified Foreign Global Currency having an Interest Period in excess of one month may be made or continued. During the continuance of a Default the Required Lenders

-45-

may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that (i) each Fixed Rate Borrowing shall bear interest for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period at the rate otherwise applicable to such Interest Period plus 2% per annum and (ii) each Floating Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate otherwise applicable to the Floating Rate Borrowing plus 2% per annum.

2.13. Method of Payment.

(i) All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the New York Administrative office for payments in Dollars, and at the London Administrative Office for payments in currencies other than Dollars, or at any other Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, by 1:00 p.m. New York time (or if the payment is made to the London Administrative Office, 3:00 p.m. London time) on the date when due and shall be applied ratably by the Administrative Agent among the Lenders in the Domestic Revolving Facility or Global Revolving Facility, as the case may be. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, each such payment (other than principal of and interest on Qualified Global Currency Loans and LC Disbursements denominated in an Alternative Currency, which shall be made in the applicable Qualified Global Currency or, except as otherwise specified in Section 2A.5, Alternative Currency, as the case may be) shall be made in Dollars.

(ii) As provided elsewhere herein, all Lenders’ interests in the Borrowings and the Loan Documents shall be ratable undivided interests and none of such Lenders’ interests shall have priority over the others. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender or amount to be applied or paid by the Administrative Agent to any Lender shall be paid promptly (on the same day as received by the Administrative Agent if received prior to 1:00 p.m. New York time or 1:00 p.m. London time, as applicable, and otherwise on the next Business Day) by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender. Payments received by the Administrative Agent but not timely funded to the Lenders shall bear interest payable by the Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Effective Rate from the date due until the date paid. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge the account of the Borrower maintained with JPMorgan Chase Bank for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder.

(iii) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.9, 2.20, 2A.5, 2A.6(b) or 10.8, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof,

-46-

(A) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (B) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any such unsatisfied obligations of such Lender under any such Section or any contingent reimbursement obligations of such Lender with respect to then outstanding Letters of Credit until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, in the case of each of clauses (A) and (B) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

2.14. Notes; Telephonic Notices. Each Lender is hereby authorized to record the principal amount of each of its Loans and each repayment on the schedule attached to its Note, provided, however, that the failure to so record shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations under such Note. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Borrowings, effect selections of Types of Borrowings and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any Authorized Officer. The Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation, if such confirmation is requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall govern absent manifest error.

2.15. Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued on each Borrowing (other than Competitive Bid Loans) shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the date hereof, at maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and upon any termination of the Aggregate Commitment in its entirety under Section 2.1 hereof. Interest accrued on each Competitive Bid Loan shall be payable on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Competitive Bid Loan (or, if such Interest Period is in excess of three months, on the 90^th day of such Interest Period) or any earlier date on which such Competitive Bid Loan is repaid, at maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and upon any termination of the Aggregate Commitment in its entirety under Section 2.1 hereof. Interest and Facility Fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year, except interest on loans made in Sterling or bearing interest at the CDOR Rate shall be computed on the basis of a 365 day year. Interest shall be payable for the day a Borrowing is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to noon (local time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on a Borrowing shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

2.16. Notification of Borrowings, Interest Rates and Prepayments. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Borrowing Request, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and repayment notice received by it hereunder not later than the close of business on the Business Day such notice is received by the Administrative Agent (or such earlier time as is required by Section 2.3). The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Fixed Rate Borrowing promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.

-47-

2.17. Lending Installations. Subject to Section 3.6, each Lender may book its Loans at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Notes shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, designate a Lending Installation through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made.

2.18. Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the time at which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in the applicable currency in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of payment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day or (ii) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan. If such Lender so repays such amount and interest thereon to the Administrative Agent within one Business Day after such demand, all interest accruing on the Loan not funded by such Lender during such period shall be payable to such Lender when received from the Borrower.

2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.1 or Section 3.2, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.5, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If (w) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.1 or Section 3.2, or (x) the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.5, or (y) any Lender becomes Defaulting Lender, or (z) any Lender has refused

-48-

to consent to any proposed amendment, modification, waiver, termination or consent with respect to any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that, pursuant to Section 8.2, requires the consent of all Lenders or each Lender affected thereby and with respect to which Lenders constituting the Required Lenders have consented to such proposed amendment, modification, waiver, termination or consent, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 12.3), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5) and obligations under the Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Lenders), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) subject to the Borrower’s rights with respect to Defaulting Lenders under Section 2.27, such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Facility Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.1 or Section 3.2 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.5, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, and (iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender’s refusal to consent to a proposed amendment, modification, waiver, termination or consent, the assignee shall approve the proposed amendment, modification, waiver, termination or consent. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

2.20. [Reserved].

2.21. Competitive Bid Loans.

(a) Competitive Bid Option. In addition to ratable Borrowings pursuant to Section 2.3, but subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation the limitation set forth in Section 2.1 as to the maximum amount of all outstanding Borrowings, including Competitive Bid Loans), the Borrower may, as set forth in Sections 2.22 or 2.23, request the Lenders, prior to the Facility Termination Date, to make offers to make Competitive Bid Loans to the Borrower. Each Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, make such offers and the Borrower may, but shall have no obligation to, accept any such offers in the manner set forth in Section 2.22 or Section 2.23, as the case may be. Competitive Bid Loans shall be evidenced by the Competitive Bid Notes. Borrower shall not have the right to request a Competitive Bid Loan at any time that a Default exists. If Borrower elects to have Administrative Agent administer the Competitive Bid Loan process, the procedures set forth in Section 2.22 shall apply. If Borrower elects to administer the Competitive Bid Loan process itself, the procedures set forth in Section 2.23 shall apply.

-49-

(b) General Terms. Any Competitive Bid Loan shall not reduce the Commitment of the Lender making such Competitive Bid Loan, and each such Lender shall continue to be obligated to fund its full share of all pro rata Borrowings under the Domestic Revolving Facility or Global Revolving Facility as the case may be. In no event can the aggregate amount of all Competitive Bid Loans at any time exceed fifty percent (50%) of the then Aggregate Commitment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.10, Competitive Bid Loans may not be continued or converted and, if not repaid at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, shall (subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement) be replaced by new Competitive Bid Loans made in accordance with Section 2.22 or Section 2.23 or by ratable Borrowings in accordance with Section 2.3.

(c) Funding of Competitive Bid Loans. Each Lender that is to make a Competitive Bid Loan shall, before 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of such Competitive Bid Loan specified in the notice received from the Borrower make available the amount of such Competitive Bid Loan to the Administrative Agent. If such Lender also has an outstanding Competitive Bid Loan that is payable on such date, the Borrower agrees that such Lender may fund only the net increase, if any, in such new Competitive Bid Loan over the principal balance of such outstanding Competitive Bid Loan and such outstanding Competitive Bid Loan shall be deemed advanced by the Lender to the Borrower on the terms of the new Competitive Bid Loan. Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions to disbursement and after receipt of such funds, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address.

2.22. Agent Administered Competitive Bid Loans.

(a) Competitive Bid Quote Request. When the Borrower wishes to request offers to make Competitive Bid Loans under this Section 2.22, it shall transmit to the Administrative Agent by telecopy a Competitive Bid Quote Request substantially in the form of Exhibit I-1 hereto so as to be received no later than (i) 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at least five Business Days prior to the Borrowing Date proposed therein, in the case of a request for a Competitive LIBOR Margin or (ii) 10:00 a.m. (New York time) at least one Business Day prior to the Borrowing Date proposed therein, in the case of a request for an Absolute Rate specifying:

(i) the proposed Borrowing Date for the proposed Competitive Bid Loan,

(ii) the requested aggregate principal amount of such Competitive Bid Loan which shall be at least $5,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $1,000,000,

(iii) whether the Competitive Bid Quotes requested are to set forth a Competitive LIBOR Margin or an Absolute Rate, or both, and

(iv) the LIBOR Interest Period, if a Competitive LIBOR Margin is requested, or the Absolute Interest Period, if an Absolute Rate is requested.

-50-

The Borrower may request offers to make Competitive Bid Loans for more than one (but not more than five) Interest Periods in a single Competitive Bid Quote Request. A Competitive Bid Quote Request that does not conform substantially to the form of Exhibit I-1 hereto shall be rejected, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of such rejection by telecopy.

(b) Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes. Promptly and in any event before the close of business on the same Business Day of receipt of a Competitive Bid Quote Request that is not rejected pursuant to Section 2.22(a), the Administrative Agent shall send to each of the Lenders by telecopy an Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2 hereto, which shall constitute an invitation by the Borrower to each Lender to submit Competitive Bid Quotes offering to make the Competitive Bid Loans to which such Competitive Bid Quote Request relates in accordance with this Section 2.22.

(i) Each Lender may, in its sole discretion, submit a Competitive Bid Quote containing an offer or offers to make Competitive Bid Loans in response to any Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes. Each Competitive Bid Quote must comply with the requirements of this Section 2.22(c) and must be submitted to the Administrative Agent by telecopy at its offices not later than (a) 3:00 p.m. (New York time) at least four Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date, in the case of a request for a Competitive LIBOR Margin or (b) 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the proposed Borrowing Date, in the case of a request for an Absolute Rate (or, in either case upon reasonable prior notice to the Lenders, such other time and date as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree); provided that Competitive Bid Quotes submitted by JPMorgan Chase Bank may only be submitted if the Administrative Agent or JPMorgan Chase Bank notifies the Borrower of the terms of the offer or offers contained therein no later than 30 minutes prior to the latest time at which the relevant Competitive Bid Quotes must be submitted by the other Lenders. Subject to the Borrower’s compliance with all other conditions to disbursement herein, any Competitive Bid Quote so made shall be irrevocable except with the written consent of the Administrative Agent given on the instructions of the Borrower.

(ii) Each Competitive Bid Quote shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit I-3 hereto and shall in any case specify:

(A) the proposed Borrowing Date, which shall be the same as that set forth in the applicable Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes,

(B) the principal amount of the Competitive Bid Loan for which each such offer is being made, which principal amount (1) may be greater than, less than or equal to the Commitment of the quoting Lender, (2) must be at least $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000, and (3) may not exceed the principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans for which offers are requested,

-51-

(D) the minimum amount, if any, of the Competitive Bid Loan which may be accepted by the Borrower, and

(E) the identity of the quoting Lender, provided that such Competitive Bid Loan may be funded by such Lender’s Designated Lender as provided in Section 2.22(h), regardless of whether that is specified in the Competitive Bid Quote.

(iii) The Administrative Agent shall reject any Competitive Bid Quote that:

(A) is not substantially in the form of Exhibit I-3 hereto or does not specify all of the information required by Section 2.22(c)(ii),

(B) contains qualifying, conditional or similar language, other than any such language contained in Exhibit I-3 hereto,

(C) proposes terms other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes, or

(D) arrives after the time set forth in Section 2.22(c)(i).

If any Competitive Bid Quote shall be rejected pursuant to this Section 2.22(c)(iii), then the Administrative Agent shall notify the relevant Lender of such rejection as soon as practical.

(d) Notice to Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of the terms (i) of any Competitive Bid Quote submitted by a Lender that is in accordance with Section 2.22(c) and (ii) of any Competitive Bid Quote that amends, modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Competitive Bid Quote submitted by such Lender with respect to the same Competitive Bid Quote Request. Any such subsequent Competitive Bid Quote shall be disregarded by the Administrative Agent unless such subsequent Competitive Bid Quote specifically states that it is submitted solely to correct a manifest error in such former Competitive Bid Quote. The Administrative Agent’s notice to the Borrower shall specify the aggregate principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans for which offers have been received for each Interest Period specified in the related Competitive Bid Quote Request and the respective principal amounts and Competitive LIBOR Margins or Absolute Rate, as the case may be, so offered.

(e) Acceptance and Notice by Borrower. Not later than (i) 7:00 p.m. (New York time) at least four Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date in the case

-52-

of a request for a Competitive LIBOR Margin or (ii) 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the proposed Borrowing Date, in the case of a request for an Absolute Rate (or, in either case upon reasonable prior notice to the Lenders, such other time and date as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of its acceptance or rejection of the offers so submitted to it pursuant to Section 2.22(d); provided, however, that the failure by the Borrower to give such notice to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be a rejection of all such offers. In the case of acceptance, such notice (a “Competitive Bid Borrowing Request”) shall specify the aggregate principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted and the applicable interest rate. The Administrative Agent shall immediately advise the Lenders making the accepted offers of the contents of the Competitive Bid Borrowing Request. The Borrower may accept any Competitive Bid Quote in whole or in part (subject to the terms of Section 2.22(c)(iii)); provided that:

(i) the aggregate principal amount of all Competitive Bid Loans to be disbursed on a given Borrowing Date may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Competitive Bid Quote Request,

(ii) acceptance of offers may only be made on the basis of ascending Competitive LIBOR Margins or Absolute Rates, as the case may be, and

(iii) the Borrower may not accept any offer that is described in Section 2.22(c)(iii) or that otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this Agreement.

(f) Allocation by Administrative Agent. If offers are made by two or more Lenders with the same Competitive LIBOR Margins or Absolute Rates, as the case may be, for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which offers are accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such Lenders as nearly as possible (in such multiples, not greater than $1,000,000, as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate) in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of such offers provided, however, that no Lender shall be allocated any Competitive Bid Loan which is less than the minimum amount which such Lender has indicated that it is willing to accept. Allocations by the Administrative Agent of the amounts of Competitive Bid Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall promptly, but in any event on the same Business Day, notify each Lender of its receipt of a Competitive Bid Borrowing Request and the principal amounts of the Competitive Bid Loans allocated to each participating Lender.

(g) Administrative Fee. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent an administration fee of $2,500 for each Competitive Bid Quote Request regardless of whether or not Borrower borrows such Competitive Bid Loan. Such administration fees, if not paid at the time of the applicable Competitive Bid Quote Request shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first Business Day of each month and on the Facility Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the Aggregate Commitment shall terminate or be cancelled).

(h) Designated Lenders. A Lender may designate its Designated Lender to fund a Competitive Bid Loan on its behalf as described in Section 2.22(c)(ii)(e). Any Designated Lender which funds a Competitive Bid Loan shall on and after the time of such funding become the obligee under such Competitive Bid Loan and be entitled to receive payments thereof when due. No Lender shall be relieved of its obligation to fund a Competitive Bid Loan, and no Designated Lender shall assume such obligation, prior to the time such Competitive Bid Loan is funded.

2.23. Bid Loans Administered by Borrower.

(a) Competitive Bid Quote Request. When the Borrower wishes to request offers to make Competitive Bid Loans under this Section 2.23, it shall transmit to the Lenders and Administrative Agent by telecopy an Invitation for Competitive Bid Quote substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 hereto so as to be received no later than (i) 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at least four Business Days prior to the Borrowing Date proposed therein, in the case of a request for a Competitive LIBOR Margin or (ii) 10:00 a.m. (New York time) at least one Business Day prior to the Borrowing Date proposed therein, in the case of a request for an Absolute Rate specifying:

(i) the proposed Borrowing Date for the proposed Competitive Bid Loan,

(ii) the requested aggregate principal amount of such Competitive Bid Loan which shall be at least $5,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $1,000,000,

(iii) whether the Competitive Bid Quotes requested are to set forth a Competitive LIBOR Margin or an Absolute Rate, or both, and

(iv) the LIBOR Interest Period, if a Competitive LIBOR Margin is requested, or the Absolute Interest Period, if an Absolute Rate is requested.

The Borrower may request offers to make Competitive Bid Loans for more than one (but not more than five) Interest Periods in a single Competitive Bid Quote.

(b) Submission and Contents of Competitive Bid Quotes.

-54-

as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree). Subject to the Borrower’s compliance with all other conditions to disbursement herein, any Competitive Bid Quote so made shall be irrevocable except with the written consent of the Administrative Agent given on the instructions of the Borrower.

(ii) Each Competitive Bid Quote shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit J-2 hereto and shall in any case specify:

(A) the proposed Borrowing Date, which shall be the same as that set forth in the applicable Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes,

(D) the minimum amount, if any, of the Competitive Bid Loan which may be accepted by the Borrower, and

(E) the identity of the quoting Lender, provided that such Competitive Bid Loan may be funded by such Lender’s Designated Lender as provided in Section 2.23(e), regardless of whether that is specified in the Competitive Bid Quote.

(iii) The Borrower shall reject any Competitive Bid Quote that:

(A) is not substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 hereto or does not specify all of the information required by Section 2.23(b)(ii),

(B) contains qualifying, conditional or similar language, other than any such language contained in Exhibit J-2 hereto,

(C) proposes terms other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes, or

(D) arrives after the time set forth in Section 2.23(b)(i).

If any Competitive Bid Quote shall be rejected pursuant to this Section 2.23(b)(iii), then the Borrower shall notify the relevant Lender of such rejection as soon as practical.

(c) Acceptance and Notice by Borrower. Not later than (i) 3:00 p.m. (New York time) at least three Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date in the case of a request for a Competitive LIBOR Margin or (ii) 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the

-55-

proposed Borrowing Date, in the case of a request for an Absolute Rate (or, in either case upon reasonable prior notice to the Lenders, such other time and date as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree), the Borrower shall notify the Lenders and Administrative Agent of its acceptance or rejection of the offers submitted to it pursuant to Section 2.23(b); provided, however, that the failure by the Borrower to give such notice to the Lenders and Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be a rejection of all such offers. In the case of acceptance, such notice to each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall specify the aggregate principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted and the applicable interest rate. The Borrower may accept any Competitive Bid Quote in whole or in part (subject to the terms of Section 2.23(b)(iii)); provided that:

(i) the aggregate principal amount of all Competitive Bid Loans to be disbursed on a given Borrowing Date may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Invitation for Competitive Bid Quote,

(ii) acceptance of offers may only be made on the basis of ascending Competitive LIBOR Margins or Absolute Rates, as the case may be, and

(iii) the Borrower may not accept any offer that is described in Section 2.23(b)(iii) or that otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this Agreement.

(d) Allocation by Borrower. If offers are made by two or more Lenders with the same Competitive LIBOR Margins or Absolute Rates, as the case may be, for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which offers are accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal amount of Competitive Bid Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be allocated by the Borrower among such Lenders as nearly as possible (in such multiples, not greater than $1,000,000, as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate) in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of such offers provided, however, that no Lender shall be allocated any Competitive Bid Loan which is less than the minimum amount which such Lender has indicated that it is willing to accept. Allocations by the Borrower of the amounts of Competitive Bid Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(e) Designated Lenders. A Lender may designate its Designated Lender to fund a Competitive Bid Loan on its behalf as described in Section 2.23(b)(ii)(e). Any Designated Lender which funds a Competitive Bid Loan shall on and after the time of such funding become the obligee under such Competitive Bid Loan and be entitled to receive payments thereof when due. No Lender shall be relieved of its obligation to fund a Competitive Bid Loan, and no Designated Lender shall assume such obligation, prior to the time such Competitive Bid Loan is funded.

2.24. Application of Moneys Received. All moneys collected or received by the Administrative Agent on account of the Facility directly or indirectly, shall be applied in the following order of priority, subject to Section 2.13(iii) and Section 2.27:

(i) to the payment of all reasonable costs incurred in the collection of such moneys of which the Administrative Agent shall have given notice to the Borrower;

-56-

(ii) to the reimbursement of any yield protection due to any of the Lenders in accordance with Section 3.1;

(iii) to the payment of any fee due pursuant to Section 2A.8(b) in connection with the issuance of a Facility Letter of Credit to the Issuing Lender, to the payment of the Facility Fee to the Lenders, if then due, and to the payment of all fees to the Administrative Agent;

(iv) first to interest and the Facility Letter of Credit Fee then due to the 1Lenders until paid in full and then to principal for all Lenders (i) as allocated by the Borrower (unless a Default exists) among the Facilities and between Competitive Bid Loans and ratable Borrowings (the amount allocated to ratable Borrowings under either of the Facilities to be distributed in accordance with the applicable pro rata shares of the outstanding amounts of the Lenders for the applicable Facility) or (ii) if a Default exists, in accordance with the respective Funded Percentages of the Lenders until principal is paid in full, each Lender’s share of such payment to be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Classes and Types of Loans owed to such Lender and then to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account until the full amount of LC Exposures is on deposit therein; and

(v) any other sums due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents.

2.25. Usury. This Agreement and each Note and Competitive Bid Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject any Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the interest rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

2.26. Special Provisions Regarding Foreign Currency Loans.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event, automatically (and without the taking of any action) (i) all then outstanding Eurocurrency Borrowings denominated in a currency other than Dollars shall be automatically converted into Floating Rate

-57-

Borrowings denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Eurocurrency Borrowings on the date such Sharing Event first occurred, which Loans denominated in Dollars (1) shall thereafter continue to be deemed to be Floating Rate Borrowings and (2) unless the Sharing Event resulted solely from a termination of the Commitments, shall be immediately due and payable on the date such Sharing Event has occurred) and (ii) unless the Sharing Event resulted solely from a termination of the Commitments, all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owing with respect to such Loans shall be immediately due and payable in Dollars, using the Dollar Equivalent of such accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts.

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event, and after giving effect to any automatic conversion pursuant to Section 2.26(a), each Lender shall (and hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to) purchase and sell (in each case in Dollars) undivided participating interests in all such Loans outstanding so that each Lender shall have a share of such outstanding Loans equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate Domestic Revolving Commitments, and aggregate Global Revolving Commitments (provided that if such purchase of a participating interest would increase the Lender’s Revolving Exposure to an amount greater than its Revolving Commitment then the amount of the participation it would be required to purchase would be reduced by such excess amount). Upon any such occurrence, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender and shall specify the amount of Dollars required from such Lender in order to effect the purchases and sales by the various Lenders of participating interests in the amounts required above (together with accrued interest with respect to the period for the last interest payment date through the date of the Sharing Event plus any additional amounts payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section in respect of such accrued but unpaid interest); provided, in the event that a Sharing Event shall have occurred, each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, automatically and without request, such participating interests. Promptly upon receipt of such request, each 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 Lenders in such amounts as are needed to effect the purchases and sales of participations as provided above. Promptly following receipt thereof, each Lender which has sold participations in any of its Loans (through the Administrative Agent) will deliver to each 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 Lender shall be calculated on a net basis, giving effect to both the sales and purchases of participations by the various Lenders as required above.

(c) Upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event all amounts from time to time accruing with respect to, and all amounts from time to time payable on account of, any outstanding Eurocurrency Borrowings initially denominated in a Qualified Foreign Global Currency (including, without limitation, any interest and other amounts which were accrued but unpaid on the date of such purchase) shall be payable in Dollars as if such Eurocurrency Borrowing had originally been made in Dollars.

-58-

(d) If any amount required to be paid by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.26(b) is not paid to the Administrative Agent within one (1) Business Day following the date upon which such Lender receives notice from the Administrative Agent of the amount of its participations required to be purchased pursuant to Section 2.26(b), such 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 Lender for the purchase of its participations multiplied by (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date of request for payment to 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 Lender pursuant to Section 2.26(b) is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent within three (3) Business Days following the date upon which such 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 Lender on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such request date at the rate per annum applicable to Floating Rate Borrowings. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts payable by any Lender pursuant to this Section shall be conclusive and binding.

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

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, upon any purchase of participations as required above, each Lender which has purchased such participations shall be entitled to receive from the Borrower any increased costs and indemnities directly from the Borrower to the same extent as if it were the direct Lender as opposed to a participant therein. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event and after giving effect to the requirements of this Section, increased Taxes may be owing by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.5, which Taxes shall be paid (to the extent provided in Section 3.5 by the Borrower, without any claim that the increased Taxes are not payable because same resulted from the participations effected as otherwise required by this Section.

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

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unused portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.6, and fees shall continue to accrue on the

-59-

used portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.6, but shall not be payable to such Defaulting Lender by the Borrower until such Defaulting Lender ceases to be a Defaulting Lender, if ever;

(b) the Commitment and Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or Required Facility Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 8.2); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification that increases the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender, forgives all or any portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or interest thereon owing to a Defaulting Lender, reduces the Applicable Margin on the underlying interest rate owing to a Defaulting Lender or extends the Facility Termination Date shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

(i) so long as no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing, all or any part of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within three Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Lender only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2A.9 and Section 8.1 for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees, and such fees shall not accrue, to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2A.8 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2A.8(a) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ reallocated Percentages; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any other

-60-

Lender hereunder, all facility fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2A.8(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Lender until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.27(c), and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.27(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Issuing Lender has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted or will default in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders or the Issuing Lender shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the Issuing Lender to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

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

2.28. Extension of Facility Termination Date. The Borrower shall have two options (each, an “Extension Option”) to extend the then applicable Facility Termination Date for a period of six (6) months per extension (for a total extension of one (1) year). Subject to the conditions set forth below, the Borrower may exercise an Extension Option by delivering a written notice to Administrative Agent (who shall provide such notice, promptly upon receipt, to each of the Lenders) not more than one hundred twenty (120) days and not less than thirty (30) days prior to the then applicable Facility Termination Date (a “Notice to Extend”), stating that the Borrower has elected to extend the Facility Termination Date for six (6) months. The Borrower’s right to exercise each Extension Option shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) there shall exist no Default or Unmatured Default on both the date the Borrower delivers the Notice to Extend to the Administrative Agent and on the then applicable scheduled Facility Termination Date, (ii) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent for the

-61-

account of each Lender for each extension an extension fee equal to 0.075% of such Lender’s percentage share of the Aggregate Commitment simultaneously with delivery of the Notice to Extend, (iii) the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in Article V shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date the Borrower delivers the Notice to Extend and the applicable Facility Termination Date; provided that any representation or warranty that is qualified as to “materiality”, Material Adverse Effect or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects on such date and any such representation or warranty that is stated to relate solely to an earlier date shall be true and correct on and as of such earlier date, and (iv) the Borrower shall be in compliance with the covenants contained in Article VI, as evidenced by a certificate from the Borrower of the sort required by Section 6.1(v) (based on financial results for the most recent calendar quarter for which the Borrower is required to report financial results).

ARTICLE IIA

THE LETTER OF CREDIT SUBFACILITY

2A.1 Obligation to Issue. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Borrower herein set forth, each Issuing Lender hereby agrees to issue for the account of the Borrower, one or more Facility Letters of Credit in accordance with this Article 2A, from time to time during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the fifth Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, any Issuing Lender relating to any Facility Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuing Lenders shall have no obligation hereunder to issue, and shall not issue, any Facility Letter of Credit the proceeds of which would be made available to any Person (i) to fund any activity or business of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any country or territory that, at the time of such funding, is the subject to any Sanctions or (ii) in any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions by any party to this Agreement.

2A.2 Types and Amounts. The Issuing Lender shall not:

(i) issue any Facility Letter of Credit if the aggregate maximum amount then available for drawing under Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, after giving effect to the Facility Letter of Credit requested hereunder, shall exceed any limit imposed by law or regulation upon such Issuing Lender;

(ii) issue any Facility Letter of Credit if, after giving effect thereto, the LC Exposure of any Issuing Lender would exceed its Letter of Credit Commitment at such time;

(iii) issue any Facility Letter of Credit if, after giving effect thereto, the LC Exposure would exceed $50,000,000 or the Total Domestic Exposure plus the amount of all outstanding Competitive Bid Loans would exceed the aggregate Domestic Revolving Commitments;

-62-

(iv) issue any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit if it has determined that it is unlawful to fund obligations in the Alternative Currency in which it is denominated, or

(v) issue any Facility Letter of Credit having an expiration date, or containing automatic extension provisions to extend such date, to a date which is later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Facility Termination Date (subject to the provisions set forth below).

Notwithstanding the foregoing conditions contained in 2.A. 2(v) above, a Facility Letter of Credit may have an expiration date that is up to two (2) years after the maturity of the Facility provided that not later than forty-five (45) days prior to such maturity, Borrower provides cash or other collateral acceptable to all Lenders in the full amount available to be drawn (using the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of any Alternative Currency Letters of Credit) under all Facility Letters of Credit with expiration dates after the maturity date of the Facility. Any such collateral shall be held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

2A.3 Conditions. In addition to being subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in Section 4.2 hereof, the obligation of the Issuing Lender to issue any Facility Letter of Credit is subject to the satisfaction in full of the following conditions:

(i) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Issuing Lender at such times and in such manner as the Issuing Lender may reasonably prescribe such documents and materials as may be reasonably required pursuant to the terms of the proposed Facility Letter of Credit (it being understood that if any inconsistency exists between such documents and the Loan Documents, the terms of the Loan Documents shall control) and the proposed Facility Letter of Credit shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender as to form and content; and

(ii) as of the date of issuance, no order, judgment or decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental authority shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Lender from issuing the requested Facility Letter of Credit and no law, rule or regulation applicable to the Issuing Lender and no request or derivative (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Lender shall prohibit or request that the Issuing Lender refrain from the issuance of Letters of Credit generally or the issuance of the requested Facility Letter of Credit in particular.

2A.4 Procedure for Issuance of Facility Letters of Credit.

(a) Borrower shall give the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of any requested issuance of a Facility Letter of Credit under this Agreement (a “Letter of Credit Request”) (except that, in lieu of such written notice, the Borrower may give the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent telephonic notice of such request if confirmed in writing by delivery to the Issuing

-63-

Lenders and the Administrative Agent immediately of a telecopy of the written notice required hereunder; such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify:

(i) the identity of the Issuing Lender selected to issue the Facility Letter of Credit requested (it being agreed that the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Facility Letters of Credit to be issued by the Issuing Lenders on a proportionate basis in accordance with their proportionate share of the Letter of Credit Commitments); and

(ii) the stated amount of the Facility Letter of Credit requested (which stated amount shall not be less than $50,000); and

(iii) the effective date (which day shall be a Business Day) of issuance of such requested Facility Letter of Credit (the “Issuance Date”); and

(iv) the date on which such requested Facility Letter of Credit is to expire (which date shall be a Business Day and shall in no event be later than the latest permissible date pursuant to Section 2A.2; and

(v) the purpose for which such Facility Letter of Credit is to be issued; and

(vi) the full name and the address of the Person for whose benefit the requested Facility Letter of Credit is to be issued; and

(vii) whether an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit is being requested and, if so, in which Alternative Currency, provided that if no Alternative Currency is requested, the Facility Letter of Credit shall be issued in Dollars.

(b) At the time such request is made, the Borrower shall also provide the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender with a copy of the form of the Facility Letter of Credit that the Borrower is requesting be issued, which shall be subject to the approval of the Issuing Lender and Administrative Agent. Such notice, to be effective, must be received by such Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the last Business Day on which notice can be given under this Section 2A.4(a). Following receipt of such notice and prior to the issuance of the requested Facility Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall calculate the Dollar Equivalent of such Facility Letter of Credit and shall notify the Parent Borrower, the relevant Borrower and the applicable Issuing Lender of the amount of the Total Domestic Exposure after giving effect to (i) the issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit, (ii) the issuance or expiration of any other Facility Letter of Credit that is to be issued or will expire prior to the requested date of issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit and (iii) the borrowing or repayment of any Domestic Revolving Loans that (based upon notices delivered to the Administrative Agent by the Parent Borrower) are to be borrowed or repaid prior to the requested date of issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit. A Facility Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Facility Letter of Credit the Parent Borrower and the relevant Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure

-64-

shall not exceed $50,000,000, and (ii) the Total Domestic Exposure plus the amount of all outstanding Competitive Bid Loans shall not exceed the aggregate Domestic Revolving Commitments. A Facility Letter of Credit shall not be issued, extended or renewed if the Issuing Lender has received written notice from the Administrative Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of such requested issuance, extension or renewal, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Section 4.2 shall not be satisfied. Administrative Agent shall promptly give a copy of the Letter of Credit Request to the other Lenders.

(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article IIA and provided that the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.2 hereof have been satisfied, such Issuing Lender shall, on the Issuance Date, issue a Facility Letter of Credit on behalf of the Borrower in accordance with the Letter of Credit Request and the Issuing Lender’s usual and customary business practices unless the Issuing Lender has actually received (i) written notice from the Borrower specifically revoking the Letter of Credit Request with respect to such Facility Letter of Credit, (ii) written notice from a Lender, which complies with the provisions of Section 2A.6(a), or (iii) written or telephonic notice from the Administrative Agent stating that the issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit would violate Section 2A.2.

(d) The Issuing Lender shall give the Administrative Agent and the Borrower written notice, or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, of the issuance of a Facility Letter of Credit (the “Issuance Notice”) and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give a copy of the Issuance Notice to the other Lenders.

(e) The Issuing Lender shall not extend or amend any Facility Letter of Credit unless the requirements of this Section 2A.4 are met as though a new Facility Letter of Credit was being requested and issued.

2A.5 Reimbursement Obligations; Duties of Issuing Lender.

(a) If the applicable Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Facility Letter of Credit, the relevant Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement in Dollars, or (subject to the two immediately succeeding sentences) the applicable Alternative Currency, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, as applicable, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if such Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, as applicable, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by such Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, as applicable, on the Business Day immediately following the day that such Borrower receives such notice; provided that, in the case of any LC Disbursement made in Dollars, the relevant Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.3 or 2.4 that such payment be financed in Dollars with a Floating Rate Borrowing under the Domestic Revolving Facility in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, such Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Floating Rate Borrowing. If the

-65-

relevant Borrower’s reimbursement of, or obligation to reimburse, any amounts in any Alternative Currency would subject the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Lender or any Lender to any stamp duty, ad valorem charge or similar tax that would not be payable if such reimbursement were made or required to be made in Dollars, such Borrower shall, at its option, either (x) pay the amount of any such tax requested by the Administrative Agent, the relevant Issuing Lender or Lender or (y) reimburse each LC Disbursement made in such Alternative Currency in Dollars, in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the applicable Exchange Rate on the date such LC Disbursement is made, of such LC Disbursement. If the relevant Borrower fails to make such payment when due, then (i) if such payment relates to an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, automatically and with no further action required, such Borrower’s obligation to reimburse the applicable LC Disbursement shall be permanently converted into an obligation to reimburse the Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the Exchange Rates on the date when such payment was due, of such LC Disbursement and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Issuing Lender and each other Domestic Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the Dollar Equivalent thereof (if such LC Disbursement relates to an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit), the payment then due from such Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Domestic Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars its Percentage of the payment then due from the relevant Borrower (determined as provided in clause (i) above, if such payment relates to an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit), in the same manner as provided in Section 2.6 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.10 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Domestic Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Lender in Dollars the amounts so received by it from the Domestic Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from any Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Lender or, to the extent that Domestic Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Lender, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Lender as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Domestic Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any Issuing Lender for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Floating Rate Domestic Revolving Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve any Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(b) If an Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the relevant Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made (in the local time where the LC Disbursement is made regardless of when such reimbursement is due under Section 2A.5(a)), the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that such Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Floating Rate Borrowings; provided that, if such Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section, then Section 2.12 shall apply; provided further that, in the case of an LC Disbursement made under an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, the amount of interest due with respect thereto shall (i) in the case of any LC Disbursement that is

-66-

reimbursed on or before the Business Day immediately succeeding such LC Disbursement, (A) be payable in the applicable Alternative Currency and (B) if not reimbursed on the date of such LC Disbursement, bear interest at a rate equal to the rate reasonably determined by the applicable Issuing Lender to be the cost to such Issuing Lender of funding such LC Disbursement plus the Applicable Margin applicable to Eurocurrency Revolving Loans at such time and (ii) in the case of any LC Disbursement that is reimbursed after the Business Day immediately succeeding such LC Disbursement (A) be payable in Dollars, (B) accrue on the Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the Exchange Rates on the date such LC Disbursement was made, of such LC Disbursement and (C) bear interest at the rate per annum then applicable to Floating Rate Revolving Loans, subject to Section 2.12. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Domestic Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 2A.5 to reimburse such Issuing Lender shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

2A.6 Participation.

(a) Immediately upon issuance by the Issuing Lender of any Facility Letter of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2A.4, each Domestic Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Issuing Lender, without recourse, representation or warranty, an undivided interest and participation equal to such Lender’s Percentage in such Facility Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, all obligations of the Borrower with respect thereto) and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto (using the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of any Alternative Currency Letters of Credit); provided that a Facility Letter of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender shall not be deemed to be a Facility Letter of Credit for purposes of this Section 2A.6 if the Issuing Lender shall have received written notice from any Lender on or before the Business Day prior to the date of its issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions contained in Section 2A.2 is not then satisfied, and in the event the Issuing Lender receives such a notice it shall have no further obligation to issue any Facility Letter of Credit until such notice is withdrawn by that Lender or the Issuing Lender receives a notice from the Administrative Agent that such condition has been effectively waived in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Each Domestic Revolving Lender’s obligation to make further Domestic Revolving Loans to the Borrower (other than any payments such Lender is required to make under subparagraph (b) below) or issue any letters of credit on behalf of Borrower shall be reduced by such Lender’s Percentage of each Facility Letter of Credit outstanding.

(b) In the event that the Issuing Lender makes any payment under any Facility Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2A.7 hereof, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Domestic Revolving Lender of such failure, and each Domestic Revolving Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender the amount of such Lender’s Percentage of (i) each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Lender in

-67-

Dollars and (ii) the Dollar Equivalent, using the Exchange Rates on the date such payment is required, of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Lender in an Alternative Currency and, in each case, not reimbursed by the relevant Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to such Borrower for any reason (or, if such reimbursement payment was refunded in an Alternative Currency, the Dollar Equivalent thereof using the Exchange Rates on the date of such refund). The failure of any Domestic Revolving Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Issuing Lender its Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any such payment shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender its Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any payment on the date such payment is to be made, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent its Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of any payment on the date such payment is to be made.

(c) Whenever the Issuing Lender receives a payment on account of a Reimbursement Obligation, including any interest thereon, the Issuing Lender shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Lender which has funded its participating interest therein, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage thereof.

(d) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, an Issuing Lender shall furnish to the Administrative Agent or such Lender copies of any Facility Letter of Credit to which that Issuing Lender is party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent or such Lender.

(e) The obligations of a Lender to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Issuing Lender with respect to a Facility Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, set-off, qualification or exception whatsoever other than a failure of any such Issuing Lender to comply with the terms of this Agreement relating to the issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances.

2A.7 Payment of Reimbursement Obligations.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations, interest and other amounts payable to such Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Facility Letter of Credit when due in accordance with Section 2A.5(a) above, and the Borrower’s obligation to reimburse in accordance with Section 2A.5(a) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against any Issuing Lender or any other Person, 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 Loan Documents, or any term or provision therein;

-68-

(ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Facility Letter of Credit or any transferee of any Facility Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Facility Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between the Borrower and the beneficiary named in any Facility Letter of Credit);

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

(iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents;

(v) the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default;

(vi) payment by the Issuing Lender under a Facility Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Facility Letter of Credit; or

(vii) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Lender, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Facility Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Facility Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Lender from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Lender’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Facility Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction),

-69-

the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Facility Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Facility Letter of Credit.

(b) In the event any payment by the Borrower received by the Issuing Lender with respect to a Facility Letter of Credit and distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders on account of their participations is thereafter set aside, avoided or recovered from the Issuing Lender in connection with any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or bankruptcy proceeding, each Lender which received such distribution shall, upon demand by the Issuing Lender, contribute such Lender’s Percentage of the amount set aside, avoided or recovered together with interest at the rate required to be paid by the Issuing Lender upon the amount required to be repaid by the Issuing Lender.

2A.8 Compensation for Facility Letters of Credit.

(a) Subject to Section 2.27, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the Domestic Revolving Lenders, based upon such Lenders’ respective Percentages, a per annum fee (the “Facility Letter of Credit Fee”) with respect to the face amount of each Facility Letter of Credit (taking into account any reductions from time to time) that is equal to the LIBOR Applicable Margin. The Facility Letter of Credit Fee relating to any Facility Letter of Credit shall be due and payable in arrears in equal installments on each Payment Date and, to the extent any such fees are then due and unpaid, on the Facility Termination Date. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit such Facility Letter of Credit Fees, when paid, to the other Domestic Revolving Lenders in accordance with their Percentages thereof. The fee due in connection with a Facility Letter of Credit issued in an Alternative Currency shall be calculated by multiplying (x) the average daily balance of each Alternative Currency Letter of Credit (expressed in the currency in which such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit is denominated) by (y) the Exchange Rate for each such Alternative Currency in effect on the last Business Day of such period or by such other reasonable method that the Administrative Agent deems appropriate.

(b) The Issuing Lender also shall have the right to receive solely for its own account an issuance fee of 0.125% of the face amount of each Facility Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, payable by the Borrower on the Issuance Date for each such Facility Letter of Credit. The Issuing Lender shall also be entitled to receive its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and the Issuing Lender’s standard charges of issuing, amending and servicing Facility Letters of Credit and processing draws thereunder. The Borrower shall pay such issuance fee and other amounts when due to the Issuing Lender.

2A.9 Letter of Credit Collateral Account. The Borrower hereby agrees that it will, from the time a deposit is required pursuant to Section 8.1, Section 2A.2, Section 2.8(b) or

-70-

Section 2.27(c) until Obligations are satisfied and all Facility Letters of Credit have expired or been terminated, maintain a special collateral account (the “Letter of Credit Collateral Account”) at the Administrative Agent’s office at the address specified pursuant to Article XIII, in the name of the Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Domestic Revolving Lenders, and in which the Borrower shall have no interest other than as set forth in Section 8.1. Such Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be funded to the extent required by Section 8.1, Section 2A.2, Section 2.8(b) or Section 2.27(c). In addition to the foregoing, the Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders, a properly perfected security interest in and lien on the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, any cash or other funds, notes, certificates of deposit and other instruments that may hereafter be on deposit in such account, any certificates or instruments from time to time evidencing or representing the Letter of Credit Account, all interest, dividends and other property distributed in respect of or in exchange for the foregoing, and the proceeds thereof (the “Letter of Credit Collateral”), all to secure the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Borrower agrees that it will not (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any interest in the Letter of Credit Collateral or (ii) create or permit to exist any lien, security interest or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Letter of Credit Collateral, except for the security interest created by this Section 2A.9.

2A.10 Conversion. In the event that the Loans become immediately due and payable on any date pursuant to Article VIII, all amounts (i) that a Borrower is at the time or thereafter becomes required to reimburse or otherwise pay to the Administrative Agent in respect of LC Disbursements made under any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit (other than amounts in respect of which such Borrower has deposited cash collateral pursuant to this Agreement, if such cash collateral was deposited in the applicable Alternative Currency to the extent so deposited or applied), (ii) that the Domestic Revolving Lenders are at the time or thereafter become required to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent is at the time or thereafter becomes required to distribute to the applicable Issuing Lender pursuant to 2A.5 in respect of unreimbursed LC Disbursements made under any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit and (iii) of each Domestic Revolving Lender’s participation in any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit under which an LC Disbursement has been made shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into the Dollar Equivalent, calculated using the Exchange Rates on such date (or in the case of any LC Disbursement made after such date, on the date such LC Disbursement is made), of such amounts. On and after such conversion, all amounts accruing and owed to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Lender or any Lender in respect of the Obligations described in this paragraph shall accrue and be payable in Dollars at the rates otherwise applicable hereunder.

ARTICLE III.

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

3.1. Increased Costs. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Fixed Rate) or the Issuing Lender;

-71-

(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Facility Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

(iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, continuing, converting or maintaining any Fixed Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Lender or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Facility Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuing Lender or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, the Issuing Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

3.2. Capital Adequacy. If any Lender or the Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity ratios or requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Facility Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Facility Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the

-72-

Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

3.3. Availability of Types of Borrowings. (a) If any Lender in good faith determines that maintenance of any of its Fixed Rate Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive, whether or not having the force of law, the Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of the affected Type of Borrowing and require any Fixed Rate Borrowings of the affected Type to be repaid, provided that if the Borrower is required to so repay a Fixed Rate Borrowing, the Borrower may concurrently with such repayment borrow from the Lenders, in the amount of such repayment, a Loan bearing interest at the Alternate Base Rate.

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

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Base Rate or the LIBOR Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders (or, in the case of a Eurocurrency Competitive Bid Loan, the Lender that is required to make such Loan) that the LIBOR Base Rate or the LIBOR Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be

-73-

ineffective, (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Floating Rate Borrowing and (iii) any request by the Borrower for a Eurocurrency Competitive Bid Borrowing shall be ineffective; provided that (A) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice do not affect all the Lenders, then requests by the Borrower for Eurocurrency Competitive Bid Borrowings may be made to Lenders that are not affected thereby and (B) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted.

3.4. Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a ratable Fixed Rate Borrowing or a Competitive Bid Loan occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a ratable Fixed Rate Borrowing or a Competitive Bid Loan is not made, or is not continued, converted or prepaid, in the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders or as a result of unavailability pursuant to Section 3.3, or the assignment of a ratable Fixed Rate Borrowing or a Competitive Bid Loan pursuant to Section 2.19 shall occur on a date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost (only if and to the extent that a Lender requests such indemnification from the Borrower) incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain the ratable Fixed Rate Borrowing or Competitive Bid Loan, as the case may be, and shall pay all such losses or costs within fifteen (15) days after written demand therefor. Without limitation of any losses arising from changes in the Fixed Rate adverse to the Lenders, in no event will the administrative fee payable by the Borrower as a result of such early payment or failure to make an advance exceed $250 per contract occurrence per Lender (such amount shall be payable only if and to the extent that a Lender requests such an administrative fee from the Borrower) to be billed by the Administrative Agent ten (10) Business Days following quarter-end along with breakage costs. Only if and to the extent that a Lender requests breakage costs from the Borrower, breakage costs for the Eurocurrency Borrowings shall be determined by the Administrative Agent on behalf of that Lender by multiplying the amount prepaid by the amount, if any, by which (x) a LIBOR-based rate for a term quoted on Page LIBOR 01 of the Reuters screen and closest to (but at least as long as) the remaining duration of the Interest Period as the case may be for the principal sum being prepaid, and for an amount comparable to such principal sum, is less than (y) the LIBOR Base Rate in effect for the principal sum being so prepaid, immediately prior to the prepayment of such sum, all as determined as of the date of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the LIBOR Rate break funding. Nothing in this Section 3.4 shall authorize the prepayment of a Competitive Bid Loan prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period.

3.5. Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has

-74-

been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.5) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.

(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.5, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.2 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly

-75-

completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.5(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person:

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 (or successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or successor form), establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or successor form), establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

-76-

(2) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming that its extension of credit will generate U.S. effectively connected income, executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form);

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or successor form); or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY (or successor form), accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form), IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9 (or successor form), and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the

-77-

Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.5 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.5), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.5 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.5 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(i) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 3.5, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Lender and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

-78-

(j) FATCA Acknowledgement. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed upon FATCA, from and after the effective date of this Agreement, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorized the Administrative Agent to treat) the Loans and this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

3.6. Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Fixed Rate Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.5 or to avoid the unavailability of Fixed Rate Borrowings under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 or 3.5. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Fixed Rate Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Fixed Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Fixed Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrower of such written statement. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

3.7. Change in Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, after the date hereof, (a) any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Issuing Lender to issue Facility Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, or any Global Revolving Lender to make Global Revolving Loans denominated in a Qualified Foreign Global Currency, or (b) there shall have occurred any change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions (including the imposition of or any change in exchange controls) or currency exchange rates that would make it impracticable for any Issuing Lender to issue Facility Letters of Credit denominated in such Alternative Currency for the account of a Borrower, or any Global Revolving Lender to make Global Revolving Loans denominated in a Qualified Foreign Global Currency, then by prompt written notice thereof to the Parent Borrower and to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist), (i) such Issuing Lender may declare that Facility Letters of Credit will not thereafter be issued by it in the affected Alternative Currency or Alternative Currencies, whereupon the affected Alternative Currency or Alternative Currencies shall be deemed (for the duration of such declaration) not to constitute an Alternative Currency for purposes of the issuance of Facility Letters of Credit by such Issuing Lender, (ii) such Global Revolving Lender may declare that Global Revolving Loans will not thereafter be made by it in the affected Qualified Foreign Global Currency or Qualified Foreign Global Currencies, whereupon the affected Qualified Global Currency or Qualified Foreign Global Currencies shall be deemed (for the duration of such declaration) not to constitute a Qualified Foreign Global Currency for purposes of the making of Global Revolving Loans by such Global Revolving Lender.

ARTICLE V.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that:

5.1. Existence. DDR is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Ohio, with its principal place of business in Beachwood, Ohio and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation, properly licensed (if required), in good standing and has all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted, except where the failure to be so qualified, licensed and in good standing and to have the requisite authority would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Qualified Borrower is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its state of organization, properly licensed (if required) in good standing, and has requisite authority to conduct its businesses in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted except where the failure to be qualified, licensed and in good standing and to have the requisite authority would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of Borrower’s Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and has all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted.

5.2. Authorization and Validity. The Borrower has the corporate power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Loan Documents and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by proper corporate proceedings, and the Loan Documents constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

5.3. No Conflict; Government Consent. Neither the execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Loan Documents, nor the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions thereof will violate any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s articles of incorporation or by-laws, or the provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its Property, is bound, or conflict with or constitute a default thereunder, except where such violation, conflict or default would not have a Material Adverse Effect, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien in, of or on the Property of the Borrower or a Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, instrument or agreement. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, is required to authorize, or is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of, or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of, any of the Loan Documents other than the filing of a copy of this Agreement, or the filing of information concerning this Agreement, with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

-82-

5.4. Financial Statements; Material Adverse Change. All consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries heretofore or hereafter delivered to the Lenders were prepared in accordance with GAAP in effect on the preparation date of such statements and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial condition and operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries at such date and the consolidated results of their operations for the period then ended, subject, in the case of interim financial statements, to normal and customary year-end adjustments. Since December 31, 2014, there was no change in the business, properties, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.5. Taxes. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all United States federal tax returns and all other tax returns which are required to be filed and have paid all taxes due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries except such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided. No tax liens have been filed and remain outstanding for amounts in excess of $250,000. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in respect of any taxes or other governmental charges are adequate.

5.6. Litigation and Guarantee Obligations. Except as set forth on Schedule 3 hereto or as set forth in written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, there is no litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation, proceeding or inquiry pending or, to the knowledge of any of their officers, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Notwithstanding the disclosure of the litigation identified on Schedule 3 or in a notice to Administrative Agent, unless such disclosure has been approved by the Required Lenders, the Borrower, based on consultation with its counsel, represents that the Borrower is unlikely to suffer any material adverse result in such litigation that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower has no material contingent obligations not provided for or disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 6.1 or as set forth in written notices to the Administrative Agent given from time to time after the Closing Date on or about the date such material contingent obligations are incurred.

5.7. ERISA. The Unfunded Liabilities of all Single Employer Plans do not in the aggregate exceed $1,000,000. Neither the Borrower nor any other member of the Controlled Group has incurred, or is reasonably expected to incur, any withdrawal liability to Multiemployer Plans in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate. Each Plan complies in all material respects with all applicable requirements of law and regulations, no Reportable Event has occurred with respect to any Plan, neither the Borrower nor any other members of the Controlled Group has withdrawn from any Plan or initiated steps to do so, and no steps have been taken to reorganize or terminate any Plan.

All factual information heretofore or contemporaneously furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent or any Lender for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby is, and all other such factual information hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent or any Lender will be, to the knowledge of Borrower, true and accurate (taken as a whole) on the date as of

-83-

which such information is dated or certified and not incomplete by omitting to state any material fact necessary to make such information (taken as a whole) not misleading in light of the circumstances and purposes for which such information was provided at such time.

5.9. Regulation U. The Borrower has not used the proceeds of any Borrowing to buy or carry any margin stock (as defined in Regulation U) in violation of the terms of this Agreement. The Borrower is not engaged, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U), or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock.

5.10. Material Agreements. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any charter or other corporate restriction which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in (i) any agreement to which it is a party, which default could have a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) any agreement or instrument evidencing or governing Indebtedness, which default would constitute a Default hereunder.

5.11. Compliance With Laws. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have complied with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof, having jurisdiction over the conduct of their respective businesses or the ownership of their respective Property, except for any non-compliance which would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has received any notice to the effect that its operations are not in material compliance with any of the requirements of applicable federal, state and local environmental, health and safety statutes and regulations or the subject of any federal or state investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a release of any toxic or hazardous waste or substance into the environment, which non-compliance or remedial action could have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.12. Ownership of Properties. Except as set forth on Schedule 2 hereto, on the date of this Agreement, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries will have good and marketable title, free of all Liens other than those permitted by Section 6.15, to all of the Property and assets reflected in the financial statements as owned by it.

5.13. Investment Company Act. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

5.14. Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions. The Borrower has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance in all material respects by the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions, and the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective officers and employees and to the knowledge of the Borrower its directors and agents, are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions in all material respects. None of (a) the Borrower, any Subsidiary or, to the knowledge of the Borrower or such Subsidiary, any of their respective directors, officers or employees, or (b) to the knowledge of

-84-

the Borrower, any agent of the Borrower or any Subsidiary that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from the credit facility established hereby, is a Sanctioned Person. No Borrowing or Facility Letter of Credit, use of proceeds or other transaction contemplated by this Agreement will violate any Anti-Corruption Law or applicable Sanctions.

5.15. Solvency.

(i) Immediately after the Closing Date and immediately following the making of each Loan and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of such Loans, (a) the fair value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, at a fair valuation, will exceed the debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; (b) the present fair saleable value of the Property of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis on their debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (c) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be able to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (d) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted after the date hereof.

(ii) The Borrower does not intend to, or to permit any of its Subsidiaries to, and does not believe that it or any of its Subsidiaries will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, taking into account the timing of and amounts of cash to be received by it or any such Subsidiary and the timing of the amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its Indebtedness or the Indebtedness of any such Subsidiary.

5.16. Insurance. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries carry insurance on their Projects with financially sound and reputable insurance companies, in such amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks as are customarily carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar Projects in localities where the Borrower and its Subsidiaries operate, including, without limitation:

5.18. Environmental Matters. Each of the following representations and warranties is true and correct on and as of the Closing Date except to the extent that the facts and circumstances giving rise to any such failure to be so true and correct, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:

Documents required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 6.1(i), (ii), (iii), (vii) or (viii) (to the extent any such documents are included in materials otherwise filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission) may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date (i) on which the Borrower posts such documents, or provides a link thereto, on the Borrower’s website on the Internet at the website address listed in Article XIII; or (ii) on which such documents are posted on the Borrower’s behalf on an Internet or intranet website, if any, to which each Lender and the Administrative Agent have access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent). The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to request the delivery of or to maintain paper copies of the documents referred to above, and in any event shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance by the Borrower with any such request by a Lender for delivery, and each Lender shall be solely responsible for requesting delivery to it or maintaining its copies of such documents.

The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent and/or the Joint Lead Arrangers will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrower hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws; (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Side Information;” and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers shall treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Side Information.”

making of Passive Non-Real Estate Investments. The Borrower will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary to, use any of the proceeds of the Borrowings and Facility Letters of Credit to purchase or carry any “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation U) if such usage could constitute a violation of Regulation U by any Lender. The Borrower will not request any Borrowing or Facility Letter of Credit, and the Borrower shall not use, and shall procure that its Subsidiaries and its or their respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall not use, the proceeds of any Borrowing or Facility Letter of Credit (A) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (B) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, to the extent such activities, businesses or transactions would be prohibited by Sanctions if conducted by a corporation incorporated in the United States, or (C) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions applicable to any party hereto.

The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees or awards to which they may be subject, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Borrower will not reorganize itself under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America or any state thereof.

(b) Without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, the Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of their respective Properties or Projects if a Default has occurred and is continuing.

-91-

(c) The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders prior written notice of the sale, transfer or other disposition of an Unencumbered Asset in a single transaction for consideration in excess of $400,000,000. In addition, simultaneously with delivery of any such notice, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the Borrower’s chief financial officer or chief accounting officer certifying that the Borrower is in compliance in all material respects with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and would be in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.18 on a pro-forma basis using the most recent quarterly financial statements then available and after giving effect to the proposed transaction (or will be after making the required prepayments described in the next paragraph), along with a certification that the Borrower has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances that would make any such information inaccurate, incomplete or otherwise misleading in any material respect.

To the extent such proposed transaction would result in a failure to comply with the covenants set forth herein, the Borrower shall apply the proceeds of such transaction (together with such additional amounts as may be required), to prepay the Obligations in an amount equal to that which would be required to reduce the Obligations so that Borrower will be in compliance with the covenants set forth herein upon the consummation of the contemplated transaction.

(ii) Liens imposed by law, such as carriers’, warehousemen’s and mechanics’ liens and other similar liens arising in the ordinary course of business which secure payment of obligations not more than 60 days past due or which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves shall have been set aside on its books;

(iii) Liens arising out of pledges or deposits under workers’ compensation laws, unemployment insurance, old age pensions, or other social security or retirement benefits, or similar legislation;

-92-

(iv) Easements, restrictions and such other encumbrances or charges against real property as are of a nature generally existing with respect to properties of a similar character and which do not in any material way affect the marketability of the same or interfere with the use thereof in the business of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries; and

(v) Liens other than Liens described in subsections (i) through (iv) above arising in connection with any Indebtedness permitted hereunder to the extent such Liens will not result in a Default in any of Borrower’s covenants herein.

(ii) the sum of (x) Consolidated Secured Indebtedness minus (y) Restricted Cash Collateral with respect to Consolidated Secured Indebtedness to exceed thirty-five percent (35%) of Consolidated Market Value; provided that such ratio may exceed 35% but shall not exceed 40% for up to four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters following a Major Acquisition;

(iii) the Value of Unencumbered Assets to be less than 1.67 times the sum of (x) Consolidated Unsecured Indebtedness minus (y) Restricted Cash Collateral with respect to Consolidated Unsecured Indebtedness; provided that such ratio may be less than 1.67 to 1.00 but shall not be less than 1.55 to 1.00 for up to four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters following a Major Acquisition;

The aggregate amount of such members of the Consolidated Group and Investment Affiliates’ pro rata share of all such Nonrecourse Indebtedness encumbering or attributable to all such Projects excluded from calculations to determine compliance with the above financial covenants shall not exceed $300,000,000.

(c) Defend, indemnify and hold harmless Administrative Agent and each Lender, and their respective officers and directors, from and against any claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature known or unknown, contingent or otherwise, arising out of, or in any way relating to the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under any Environmental Laws applicable to the operations of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or the Projects, or any orders, requirements or demands of Governmental Authorities related thereto, including, without limitation, attorney’s and consultant’s fees, investigation and laboratory fees, response costs, court costs and litigation expenses, except to the extent that any of the foregoing arise out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification therefor.

ARTICLE VIII.

ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

8.1. Acceleration. If any Default described in Section 7.7 or 7.8 occurs with respect to the Borrower, the Commitments and all other obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and of the Issuing Lender to issue Facility Letters of Credit hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender and without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives. If any other Default occurs, the Required Lenders, at any time prior to the date that such Default has been fully cured, may terminate or suspend the Commitments and all other obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and to issue Facility Letters of Credit, whereupon (in the case of termination) the Commitments and such other obligations of the Lenders shall terminate, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon if the Required Lenders elected to accelerate (i) the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives and (ii) if any automatic or optional acceleration has occurred, the Administrative Agent, as directed by the Required Lenders (or if no such direction is given within 30 days after a request for direction, as the Administrative Agent deems in the best interests of the Lenders, in its sole discretion), shall use its good faith efforts to collect, including without limitation, by filing and diligently pursuing judicial action, all amounts owed by the Borrower under the Loan Documents.

In addition to the foregoing, following the occurrence of a Default and so long as any Facility Letter of Credit has not been fully drawn and has not been cancelled or expired by its terms, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account cash in an amount equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon provided that (i) the portions of such amount attributable to undrawn Alternative Currency Letters of Credit or LC Disbursements in an Alternative Currency that the Borrowers are not late in reimbursing shall be deposited in the applicable Alternative Currencies in the actual amounts of such undrawn Letters of Credit and LC Disbursements and (ii) the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such

-98-

deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Default with respect to any Borrower described in Section 7.7 or 7.8. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Alternative Currency LC Exposure shall be calculated using the Exchange Rates on the date notice demanding cash collateralization is delivered to a Borrower. Each Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.8(b) and Section 2.27(c). Each such deposit pursuant to this paragraph or pursuant to Section 2.8(b) or Section 2.27(c) shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of each Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the relevant Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the Reimbursement Obligations of the relevant Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Domestic Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing at least 51% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of such Borrower under this Agreement. If a Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of a Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower within three Business Days after all Defaults have been cured or waived. If a Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.8(b) or Section 2.27(c), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower as and to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, such Borrower would remain in compliance with Section 2.8(b) or Section 2.27(c), as applicable, and no Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The Borrower shall have no control over funds in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, which funds will be invested by the Administrative Agent from time to time under the Facility Letters of Credit. Such funds, if any, remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account following the payment of all Obligations in full shall, unless the Administrative Agent is otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, be promptly paid over to the Borrower.

If, after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder or to issue Facility Letters of Credit as a result of any Default (other than any Default as described in Section 7.7 or 7.8 with respect to the Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, all of the Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.

8.2. Amendments. Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII and the right of the Borrower, solely with the agreement of the Administrative Agent and such new banks or existing Lenders as may provide new or increased Commitments, to increase the Aggregate Commitment as described in Section 2.1 above, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower may enter into written agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of amending, modifying or waiving any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrower hereunder

-99-

or waiving any Default or any provision hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (and no such amendment or waiver shall be effective except pursuant to an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders); provided however, that no such supplemental agreement or waiver shall, without the consent in writing of all Lenders affected thereby:

(i) Extend the Facility Termination Date or forgive all or any portion of the principal amount of any Loan or accrued interest thereon or the Facility Fee, reduce the Applicable Margins or any accepted Absolute Rate (or modify any definition herein which would have the effect of reducing the Applicable Margins or any accepted Absolute Rate) or the underlying interest rate options or extend the time of payment of any such principal, interest or Facility Fees.

(ii) Subject to releases given in accordance with Section 9.17, release DDR from its guarantee of the obligations of Qualified Borrowers or release any Subsidiary Guarantor (other than a Subsidiary Guarantor that has liquidated all of its assets and applied all of the proceeds of such liquidation in accordance with its organizational documents) from the Subsidiary Guaranty or any other future guarantor (other than a Subsidiary Guarantor that has liquidated all of its assets and applied all of the proceeds of such liquidation in accordance with its organizational documents) from any liability it may undertake with respect to the Obligations.

(iii) Reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders or Required Facility Lenders, as applicable, or change any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder.

(iv) Increase the Aggregate Commitment beyond $1,250,000,000.

(v) Permit the Borrower to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement.

(vi) Amend Sections 2.3, 2.13(ii), 2.24, 8.1, 8.2, 11.1 or 11.2.

No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, including Section 2.27, shall be effective without the written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be. No amendment, modification or waiver affecting the application of payments among the Facilities shall be effective without the consent of the Required Facility Lenders in respect of each of the Facilities adversely affected thereby. Each Lender which has been designated a Designated Lender may act on behalf of such Designated Lender with respect to any rights of such Designated Lender to grant or withhold any consent hereunder to the fullest extent it has been so delegated to act by such Designated Lender pursuant to its Designation Agreement.

-100-

8.3. Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.2, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

ARTICLE IX.

-102-

the Borrower or its equity holders, Affiliates, creditors or any other third Person and whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (y) the material breach by such Indemnitee of its express obligations under this Agreement pursuant to a claim initiated by the Borrower or (z) any disputes solely among Indemnitees and not arising out of any act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates (other than (A) any proceeding against any Indemnitee solely in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender, Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent, lead arranger, bookrunner or any other similar role with respect to the credit facility evidenced by this Agreement or (B) arising as a result of an act or omission by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates). This Section 9.7(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lenders under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lenders, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lenders in their capacity as such.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby, any Loan or Facility Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this clause (d) shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

9.8. Numbers of Documents. All statements, notices, closing documents, and requests hereunder shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent with sufficient counterparts so that the Administrative Agent may furnish one to each of the Lenders.

-103-

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

9.11. Nonliability of Lenders. The relationship between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Lenders, the Issuing Lender, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Administrative Agent, on the other, shall be solely that of borrower and lender. None of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, any Joint Lead Arranger or any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower, and the Borrower acknowledges that each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower. None of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, any Joint Lead Arranger or any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to review or inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s business or operations.

9.12. CHOICE OF LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN THOSE CONTAINING A CONTRARY EXPRESS CHOICE OF LAW PROVISION) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (AND NOT THE LAW OF CONFLICTS) OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS.

9.13. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. (a) EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE OR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE (I) ANY PARTY HERETO FROM BRINGING ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION FOR THE RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, (II) IF ALL SUCH NEW YORK COURTS DECLINE JURISDICTION OVER ANY PERSON, OR DECLINE (OR, IN THE CASE OF THE FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT, LACK) JURISDICTION OVER ANY SUBJECT MATTER OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING, ANY PARTY HERETO FROM BRINGING A LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH

-104-

RESPECT THERETO IN ANOTHER COURT HAVING JURISDICTION AND (III) IN THE EVENT A LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO OR INVOLVING ANY OF ITS ASSETS OR PROPERTY IN ANOTHER COURT (WITHOUT ANY COLLUSIVE ASSISTANCE BY SUCH PARTY OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR AFFILIATES), SUCH PARTY FROM ASSERTING A CLAIM OR DEFENSE (INCLUDING ANY CLAIM OR DEFENSE THAT THIS SECTION 9.13 WOULD OTHERWISE REQUIRE TO BE ASSERTED IN A LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN A NEW YORK COURT) IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

(b) EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LEGALLY AND EFFECTIVELY DO SO, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

(c) EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 13.1. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

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

9.15. No Bankruptcy Proceedings. Each of the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent agrees that it will not institute against any Designated Lender or join any other Person in instituting against any Designated Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy of similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Designated Lender.

-105-

9.16. Judgment Currency. (a) The Borrowers’ obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to make payments in a specified 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 a 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 Loan Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan 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 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 Business Day immediately preceding the date 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 of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.

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

9.17. Release of Subsidiary Guaranties. If a Subsidiary has delivered a Subsidiary Guaranty, Borrower may at any time request a release of such Subsidiary Guaranty. If there is no Default or Unmatured Default, and Borrower would still be in compliance with all covenants if such Subsidiary were not a Subsidiary Guarantor, then Administrative Agent shall deliver within ten (10) Business Days a release of such Subsidiary Guarantor without the consent of any Lender.

ARTICLE X.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

-106-

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

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 8.2), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 8.2) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Unmatured Default or Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

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

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the

-107-

preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor (which successor shall be consented to by the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required if a Default has occurred and is continuing). If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.7 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person, remove such Person as Administrative Agent and appoint a successor, which appointment shall, provided no Unmatured Default or Default exists, be consented to by the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective on the Removal Effective Date in accordance with such notice and (1) the removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section; provided, further that such Lenders so acting directly shall be and be deemed to be protected by all indemnities and other provisions herein for the benefit and protection of the Administrative Agent as if each such Lender were itself the Administrative Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the extensions of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and letters of credit and not investments in a business enterprise or securities. Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender shall, independently and without reliance upon the

-108-

Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a Lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder.

ARTICLE XI.

SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS

11.1. Setoff. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if the Borrower becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any Default occurs, any and all deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or account of the Borrower may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender at any time prior to the date that such Default has been fully cured, whether or not the Obligations, or any part hereof, shall then be due, subject to Section 11.2.

11.2. Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Loans (other than payments received pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.4) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Loans held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable proportion of Loans. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their Loans. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.

ARTICLE XII.

BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

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

-109-

assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Lender that issues any Facility Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in Section 12.2) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

12.2. Participations. Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lenders, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”), other than an Ineligible Institution, in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 8.2 that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 3.5 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Sections 3.5(f) and (g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.5(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender and the information and documentation required under Section 3.5(g) will be delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.3; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.19 as if it were an assignee under Section 12.3; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.5, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.19 with respect to any Participant. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Facility Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Facility Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person

-110-

whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

12.3. Assignments. (a) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Persons (other than an Ineligible Institution) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment, participations in Facility Letters of Credit and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(i) the Borrower, provided that, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; provided, further that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if a Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee (but, in each case, the assignor or assignee shall send notice of such assignment to the Borrower);

(ii) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) with a Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(iii) each Issuing Lender, if such Person’s obligation to participate in Facility Letters of Credit would be increased by such assignment.

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

(i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;

(iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (x) an Assignment and Assumption or (y) to the extent

-111-

applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants), together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and

(iv) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its related parties or its securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

For the purposes of Section 12.2 and this Section 12.3, the term “Ineligible Institution” have the following meanings:

“Ineligible Institution” means (a) a natural person, (b) a Defaulting Lender or its parent company, (c) a company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person or relative(s) thereof or (d) the Borrower or any of its Affiliates.

(c) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5 and 9.7). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.3 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.2.

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Issuing Lender and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

-112-

(e) Upon its receipt of (x) a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants), the assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in this Section 12.3 and any written consent to such assignment required by this Section 12.3, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

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

12.5. Dissemination of Information. The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or assignee or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, subject to Section 12.6.

12.6. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any

-113-

Issuing Lender or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower and other than information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

12.7. USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act. Any Lender may request additional information with respect to any Qualified Borrower in connection with such Lender’s “Know your customer” procedures.

12.8. Co-Agents: Lead Managers; No Fiduciary Relationship. None of the Lenders identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “documentation agent,” “syndication agent,” “managing agent”, “co-agent” or “joint arranger/joint book manager” shall have the right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders so identified as a “documentation agent,” “syndication agent,” “managing agent,” “co-agent” or “joint arranger/joint book manager” shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of Lenders so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. In addition to the foregoing, the Borrower agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and each of the Lenders identified on the facing page or the signature page hereof as a “documentation agent,” “syndication agent,” “managing agent, “co-agent” or “joint arranger/joint book manager” and their Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, or any Lenders so identified as a “documentation agent,” “syndication agent,” “managing agent,” “co-agent” or “joint arranger/joint book manager” or their Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications.

FORM OF QUALIFIED BORROWER GUARANTY

This Guaranty is made as of April 23, 2015 by DDR Corp., an Ohio corporation (“Guarantor), to and for the benefit of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (“Administrative Agent”) for itself and the lenders under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “Lenders”).

RECITALS

A. Guarantor has requested that the Lenders make a revolving credit facility available to Borrower in an aggregate principal amount of $750,000,000, subject to increase to up to $1,250,000,000 (the “Facility”).

B. The Lenders have agreed to make available the Facility to Borrower pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of even date herewith, between Guarantor, as Borrower, DDR PR Ventures LLC, S.E., a Delaware limited liability company, Administrative Agent, and the Lenders named therein (as amended, modified or restated from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

C. The Credit Agreement allows, among other things, for Qualified Borrowers to request Borrowings under the Facility provided, among other things, that Guarantor execute and deliver this Guaranty. Each Qualified Borrower from time to time will execute and deliver to the Lenders promissory notes as evidence of such Qualified Borrower’s indebtedness to each such Lender with respect to the Facility (the promissory notes described above, together with any amendments or allonges thereto, or restatements, replacements or renewals thereof, and/or new promissory notes to new Lenders under the Credit Agreement, are collectively referred to herein as the “Notes”).

D. Each Qualified Borrower is directly or indirectly wholly owned by Guarantor.

AGREEMENTS

NOW, THEREFORE, Guarantor, in consideration of the matters described in the foregoing Recitals, which Recitals are incorporated herein and made a part hereof, and for other good and valuable consideration, hereby agrees as follows:

1. Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably guaranties to each of the Lenders:

(a) the full and prompt payment of the principal of and interest on the Notes when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, and the prompt payment of all sums which may now be or may hereafter become due and owing from each Qualified Borrower under the Notes, the Credit Agreement, and the other Loan Documents;

M-11

(b) the payment of all Enforcement Costs (as hereinafter defined in Paragraph 7 hereof); and

(c) the full, complete, and punctual observance, performance, and satisfaction of all of the obligations, duties, covenants, and agreements of each Qualified Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents.

All amounts due, debts, liabilities, and payment obligations described in subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph 1 are referred to herein as the “Facility Indebtedness.” All obligations described in subparagraph (c) of this Paragraph 1 are referred to herein as the “Obligations.”

2. In the event of any default by a Qualified Borrower in making payment of the Facility Indebtedness, or in performance of the Obligations, as aforesaid, in each case beyond the expiration of any applicable grace period, Guarantor agrees, on demand by the Administrative Agent or the holder of a Note, to pay all the Facility Indebtedness and to perform all the Obligations as are then or thereafter become due and owing or are to be performed under the terms of the Notes, the Credit Agreement, and the other Loan Documents. All references to Borrower in this Guaranty shall refer to each Qualified Borrower.

3. Guarantor does hereby waive (i) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and any and all notices and demands of every kind which may be required to be given by any statute, rule or law, (ii) any defense, right of set-off or other claim which Guarantor may have against Borrower or which Guarantor or Borrower may have against the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or the holder of a Note, (iii) presentment for payment, demand for payment (other than as provided for in Paragraph 2 above), notice of nonpayment (other than as provided for in Paragraph 2 above) or dishonor, protest and notice of protest, diligence in collection and any and all formalities which otherwise might be legally required to charge Guarantor with liability, (iv) any failure by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to inform Guarantor of any facts the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may now or hereafter know about Borrower, the Facility, or the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have no duty so to inform and that Guarantor is fully responsible for being and remaining informed by Borrower of all circumstances bearing on the existence or creation, or the risk of nonpayment of the Facility Indebtedness or the risk of nonperformance of the Obligations, and (v) any and all right to cause a marshalling of assets of Borrower or any other action by any court or governmental body with respect thereto, or to cause the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to proceed against any other security given to a Lender in connection with the Facility Indebtedness or the Obligations. Credit may be granted or continued from time to time by the Lenders to Borrower without notice to or authorization from Guarantor, regardless of the financial or other condition of Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no obligation to disclose or discuss with Guarantor the Lenders’ assessment of the financial condition of Borrower. Guarantor acknowledges that no representations of any kind whatsoever have been made by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to Guarantor. No modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Guaranty shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent and the Lenders except as expressly set forth in a

M-22

writing duly signed and delivered on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Guarantor further agrees that any exculpatory language contained in the Credit Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents shall in no event apply to this Guaranty, and will not prevent the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from proceeding against Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty.

4. Guarantor further agrees that Guarantor’s liability as guarantor shall in no way be impaired by any renewals or extensions which may be made from time to time, with or without the knowledge or consent of Guarantor of the time for payment of interest or principal under a Note or by any forbearance or delay in collecting interest or principal under a Note, or by any waiver by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Documents, or by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders’ failure or election not to pursue any other remedies they may have against Borrower, or by any change or modification in a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Documents, or by the acceptance by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of any security or any increase, substitution or change therein, or by the release by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of any security or any withdrawal thereof or decrease therein, or by the application of payments received from any source to the payment of any obligation other than the Facility Indebtedness, even though a Lender might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the Facility Indebtedness, it being the intent hereof that Guarantor shall remain liable as principal for payment of the Facility Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations until all indebtedness has been paid in full and the other terms, covenants and conditions of the Credit Agreement, and other Loan Documents and this Guaranty have been performed, notwithstanding any act or thing which might otherwise operate as a legal or equitable discharge of a surety. Guarantor further understands and agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may at any time enter into agreements with Borrower to amend and modify a Note, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any thereof, and may waive or release any provision or provisions of a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document and, with reference to such instruments, may make and enter into any such agreement or agreements as the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower may deem proper and desirable, without in any manner impairing this Guaranty or any of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders’ rights hereunder or any of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.

5. This is an absolute, unconditional, complete, present and continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection. Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be joint and several with any and all other guarantees given in connection with the Facility from time to time. Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty may be enforced by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral, if any, given in connection herewith or with a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents or by or resorting to any other guaranties, and Guarantor hereby waives the right to require the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to join Borrower in any action brought hereunder or to commence any action against or obtain any judgment against Borrower or to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained herein or otherwise shall prevent the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from pursuing concurrently or successively all rights and remedies available to them at law and/or in equity or under a Note, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents, and the exercise of any of their rights or the completion of any of their remedies shall not constitute a discharge of any of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, it being the purpose and intent of

M-33

Guarantor that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be primary, absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances whatsoever. Neither Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by any impairment, modification, change, release or limitation of the liability of Borrower under a Note, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or by reason of Borrower’s bankruptcy or by reason of any creditor or bankruptcy proceeding instituted by or against Borrower. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective and be deemed to have continued in existence or be reinstated (as the case may be) if at any time payment of all or any part of any sum payable pursuant to a Note, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document is rescinded or otherwise required to be returned by the payee upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the payor, all as though such payment to such Lender had not been made, regardless of whether such Lender contested the order requiring the return of such payment. The obligations of Guarantor pursuant to the preceding sentence shall survive any termination, cancellation, or release of this Guaranty.

6. This Guaranty shall be assignable by a Lender to any assignee of all or a portion of such Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents made in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

7. If: (i) this Guaranty, a Note, or any of the Loan Documents are placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or is collected through any legal proceeding; (ii) an attorney is retained to represent the Administrative Agent or any Lender in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or other proceedings affecting creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Guaranty, a Note, the Credit Agreement, or any Loan Document; (iii) an attorney is retained to enforce any of the other Loan Documents or to provide advice or other representation with respect to the Loan Documents in connection with an enforcement action or potential enforcement action; or (iv) an attorney is retained to represent the Administrative Agent or any Lender in any other legal proceedings whatsoever in connection with this Guaranty, a Note, the Credit Agreement, any of the Loan Documents, or any property subject thereto (other than any action or proceeding brought by any Lender or participant against the Administrative Agent alleging a breach by the Administrative Agent of its duties under the Loan Documents), then Guarantor shall pay to the Administrative Agent or such Lender upon demand all reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, court costs, filing fees and all other costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (all of which are referred to herein as “Enforcement Costs”), in addition to all other amounts due hereunder.

8. The parties hereto intend that each provision in this Guaranty comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions. However, if any provision or provisions, or if any portion of any provision or provisions, in this Guaranty is found by a court of law to be in violation of any applicable local, state or federal ordinance, statute, law, administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, and if such court should declare such portion, provision or provisions of this Guaranty to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written, then it is the intent of all parties hereto that such portion, provision or provisions shall be given force to the fullest possible extent that they are legal, valid and enforceable, that the remainder of this Guaranty shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable portion, provision or provisions were not contained therein, and that the rights, obligations and interest of the Administrative Agent and the Lender or the holder of a Note under the remainder of this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect.

M-44

9. Any indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor now or hereafter existing is hereby subordinated to the Facility Indebtedness. Guarantor will not seek, accept, or retain for Guarantor’s own account, any payment from Borrower on account of such subordinated debt at any time when a Default exists under the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents, and any such payments to Guarantor made while any Default then exists under the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents on account of such subordinated debt shall be collected and received by Guarantor in trust for the Lenders and shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders on account of the Facility Indebtedness without impairing or releasing the obligations of Guarantor hereunder.

10. Guarantor hereby subordinates to the Facility Indebtedness any and all claims and rights, including, without limitation, subrogation rights, contribution rights, reimbursement rights and set-off rights, which Guarantor may have against Borrower arising from a payment made by Guarantor under this Guaranty and agree that, until the entire Facility Indebtedness is paid in full, not to assert or take advantage of any subrogation rights of Guarantor or the Lenders or any right of Guarantor or the Lenders to proceed against (i) Borrower for reimbursement, or (ii) any other guarantor or any collateral security or guaranty or right of offset held by the Lenders for the payment of the Facility Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations, nor shall Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from Borrower or any other guarantor in respect of payments made by Guarantor hereunder. It is expressly understood that the agreements of Guarantor set forth above constitute additional and cumulative benefits given to the Lenders for their security and as an inducement for their extension of credit to Borrower.

11. Any amounts received by a Lender from any source on account of any indebtedness may be applied by such Lender toward the payment of such indebtedness, and in such order of application, as a Lender may from time to time elect.

12. Guarantor hereby submits to personal jurisdiction in the State of New York for the enforcement of this Guaranty and waives any and all personal rights to object to such jurisdiction for the purposes of litigation to enforce this Guaranty. Guarantor hereby consents to the jurisdiction of either the Courts of the State of New York located in New York County, New York, or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, in any action, suit, or proceeding which the Administrative Agent or a Lender may at any time wish to file in connection with this Guaranty or any related matter. Guarantor hereby agrees that an action, suit, or proceeding to enforce this Guaranty may be brought in any state or federal court in the State of New York and hereby waives any objection which Guarantor may have to the laying of the venue of any such action, suit, or proceeding in any such court; provided, however, that the provisions of this Paragraph shall not be deemed to preclude the Administrative Agent or a Lender from filing any such action, suit, or proceeding in any other appropriate forum.

13. All notices and other communications provided to any party hereto under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be in writing or by telex or by facsimile and addressed or delivered to such party at its address set forth below or at such other address as may be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties.
