Section 1 Amendments.
(a) The following defined terms shall be added to Section 1.01 to the Agreement in the appropriate order:
First Amendment shall mean Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement, dated as of August 4, 2011.
First Amendment Effective Date shall mean August 4, 2011.
Lehman Loan shall mean loans made by the Lehman Lender to the Borrower; provided, that at no time following the First Amendment Effective Date shall the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Lehman Loans be greater than $0.
Original Lehman Commitment shall mean the commitment of the Lehman Lender in an amount set forth in Schedule 2.01 to the Agreement, as such Commitment may have been permanently reduced from time to time pursuant to Section 2.08 of the Agreement or modified from time to time pursuant to Section 8.04 of the Agreement, in each case prior to the First Amendment Effective Date.
Original Total Commitment shall mean the aggregate amount of the Commitments of all the Lenders, as in effect immediately prior to the First Amendment Effective Date, which such amount was $2,000,000,000.
(b) The term Total Commitment in Section 1.01 of the Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
Total Commitment shall mean, at any time, the aggregate amount of the Commitments of all the Lenders (other than the Lehman Lender) as in effect at such time (including the Incremental Commitment Increase of any Lender that becomes a Post-Increase Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 2.19). The amount of the Total Commitment as of the First Amendment Effective Date is $1,868,125,000.
(c) Section 2.05 is hereby amended by inserting the following sentence at the end of clause (a):
Amounts prepaid or repaid in respect of the Lehman Loans may not be reborrowed.
(d) Section 2.08(c) is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and replacing it with the following new Section 2.08(c) in lieu thereof:
(c) Each reduction in the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments; provided, that such pro rata reduction in Commitments shall not apply to the reduction of the Original Lehman Commitment to zero and the termination of the Original Lehman Commitment pursuant to the First Amendment, and the resulting reduction of the Original Total Commitment to the Total Commitment, in each case as effected by the First Amendment. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction of the Commitments, the Facility Fee and Utilization Fee on the amount of the Commitments so terminated or reduced, in each case accrued through the date of such termination or reduction; provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to pay to the Agent for the account of any Lender (other than the Lehman Lender) any Facility Fee or Utilization Fee on the First Amendment Effective Date.

(e) Section 2.12 is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and replacing it with the following new Section 2.12 in lieu thereof:

For purposes of determining the Available Commitments of the Lenders (other than the Lehman Lender) at any time, the LC Outstandings and Swingline Outstandings shall be deemed to have utilized the Commitments of such Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentages at such time. Each such Lender agrees that in computing such Lenders portion of any Extension of Credit to be made hereunder, the Agent may, in its discretion, round each such Lenders percentage of such Extension of Credit to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount.
(b) With respect to the Lehman Loans, each payment or prepayment of principal, each payment of interest, and each payment of the applicable Facility Fee and Utilization Fee shall be allocated pro rata among the Lehman Lender(s) in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of Lehman Loans held.
