THE FACILITY

2.1 The Facility.

From the Effective Date until the Termination Date, each Bank severally agrees to make Ratable Loans to the Borrower from time to time in amounts not to exceed in the aggregate at any one time outstanding, the amount of its Commitment.

(i) Each Bank may, in its sole discretion and not subject to the amount of its Commitment, make bids to make Competitive Bid Loans to the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.3.

(ii) In no event may the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Advances (including both the Ratable Advances and the Competitive Bid Advances) exceed the Commitments.

(iii) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and re-borrow within the limits of each Bank’s Commitment at any time prior to the Termination Date.

2.2 Ratable Advances.

2.2.1 General. Each Ratable Advance hereunder shall consist of borrowings made from the several Banks ratably in proportion to the amounts of their respective Commitments. For so long as any Competitive Bid Advances are outstanding, the aggregate outstanding amount of Competitive Bid Advances shall reduce each Bank’s Commitment ratably in the proportion such Bank’s Commitment bears to the Commitments regardless of which Bank or Banks make such Competitive Bid Advances. No Bank shall be obligated to make a Loan hereunder if the aggregate principal amount of such Bank’s Ratable Loans outstanding would exceed its Commitment. Upon the request of any Bank made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Bank (through the Administrative Agent) a Ratable Note, which shall evidence such Bank’s Ratable Advances.

2.2.2 Ratable Advance Rate Options. The Ratable Advances may be Floating Rate Advances or Eurodollar Ratable Advances, or a combination thereof, selected by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.2.3, and as converted or continued in accordance with Section 2.2.4; provided, that no Advance may mature after the Termination Date.

2.2.3 Method of Selecting Rate Options and Interest Periods for Ratable Advances. The Borrower shall select the Rate Option and, if applicable, Interest Period applicable to each Ratable Advance from time to time. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (a “Ratable Borrowing Notice”) not later than 8:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) (a) on the Business Day of the Borrowing Date of each Floating Rate Advance, and (b) three Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each Eurodollar Ratable Advance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Ratable Borrowing Notice for a Floating Rate Advance may be given not later than 15 minutes after the time which the Borrower is required to reject one or more bids offered in connection with an Absolute Rate Auction pursuant to Section 2.3.6 and a Ratable Borrowing Notice for a Eurodollar Ratable Advance may be given not later than 15 minutes after the time the Borrower is required to reject one or more bids offered in connection with a Eurodollar Auction pursuant to Section 2.3.6. A Ratable Borrowing Notice shall specify:

(a) the Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, of such Ratable Advance;

(b) the aggregate amount of such Ratable Advance;

(d) in the case of each Fixed Rate Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto (which may not end after the Termination Date). If the Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period in a Ratable Borrowing Notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.

2.2.4 Conversion and Continuation Elections.

(a) The Borrower may, upon irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.2.4(b): (i) elect, as of any Business Day, in the case of a Floating Rate Advance, or as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, in the case of a Eurodollar Ratable Advance, to convert such Advance into an Advance bearing interest based on another Rate Option; or (ii) elect, as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, to continue a Eurodollar Ratable Advance or Floating Rate Advance having an Interest Period expiring on such day; except, that during the existence of a Default or Unmatured Default, the Borrower may not elect to have any Advance converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Ratable Advance unless the Majority Banks consent thereto. All conversions and continuations of Advances shall be made ratably according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans with respect to which the notice was given held by each Bank.

(b) The Borrower shall deliver a notice of conversion/continuation in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) to be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 8:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) (i) on the Business Day preceding the Conversion/Continuation Date if the Advance is to be converted into or continued as a Floating Rate Advance, and (ii) three Business Days before the Conversion/Continuation Date if the Advance is to be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Ratable Advance; specifying:

(i) the Conversion/Continuation Date, which shall be a Business Day, of such Ratable Advance;

(ii) the aggregate amount of such Ratable Advance to be converted or continued;

(iii) the Rate Option for such Ratable Advance resulting from the conversion or continuation; and

(iv) in the case of each Fixed Rate Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto (which may not end after the Termination Date).

(c) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Eurodollar Ratable Advance, the Borrower has failed to select timely a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Advance, or if any Default or Unmatured Default then exists, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Advance into a Floating Rate Advance effective as of the expiration date of such Interest Period.

2.3 Competitive Bid Advances.

2.3.1 Competitive Bid Option. In addition to Ratable Advances pursuant to Section 2.2, but subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including any limitations as to the maximum aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Advances), the Borrower may, as set forth in this Section 2.3, request the Banks, prior to the Termination Date, to make offers to make Competitive Bid Advances to the Borrower. Each Bank 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 this Section 2.3. Upon the request of any Bank made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Bank (through the Administrative Agent) a Competitive Bid Note, which shall evidence such Bank’s Competitive Bid Advances.

2.3.2 Competitive Bid Quote Request.

Each Competitive Bid Quote Request shall be in Dollars in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 (and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof). A Competitive Bid Quote Request that does not conform substantially to the format of Exhibit B hereto shall be rejected, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of such rejection by telecopy.

2.3.3 Invitation for Competitive Bid Quotes.

Subject to Articles IV and VIII, 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.

(b) Each Competitive Bid Quote shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto and shall in any case specify:

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

2.3.5 Notice to Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of the terms (i) of any Competitive Bid Quote submitted by a Bank that is in accordance with Section 2.3.4, and (ii) of any Competitive Bid Quote that is in accordance with Section 2.3.4 and amends, modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Competitive Bid Quote submitted by such Bank 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 Eurodollar Bid Rates or Absolute Rates, as the case may be, so offered.

In the case of acceptance, such notice (a “Competitive Bid Borrowing Notice”) shall specify the aggregate principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted. The Borrower may accept any Competitive Bid Quote in whole or in part (subject to the terms of Section 2.3.4(b)(iv)); provided, that:

Interest on all Floating Rate Advances (including Floating Rate Advances determined by reference to the Eurodollar Base Rate) calculated on the basis of the Base Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed. Interest on all other Advances shall be calculated for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed, which results in a higher yield to the payee thereof than a method based on a year of 365 or 366 days. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to 11:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal or interest on an Advance 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.

2.5.8 Method of Payment. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff, without prejudice to Borrower’s right to later assert any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement and in the following sentence, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Banks to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) on the date when due and shall be applied (i) first, ratably among the Banks with respect to any principal and interest due in connection with Ratable Advances, (ii) second, after all amounts described in clause (i) have been satisfied, ratably among those Banks for whom any payment of principal and interest is due in connection with any Competitive Bid Advances, and (iii) third, after all amounts described in clauses (i) and (ii) have been satisfied, ratably to any other Obligations then due to the Banks. If such payment is received by the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. (San Francisco time) such delivery to the Banks shall be made on the same day and if received thereafter shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to charge the account of the Borrower held at Bank of America for each payment of principal, interest and fees owing by the Borrower as it becomes due hereunder.

2.5.9 Notes; Telephonic Notices; Designation of Borrower. Each Bank is hereby authorized to record on the schedule attached to each of its Notes, or otherwise record in accordance with its usual practice, the date and amount of each of its Loans of the type evidenced by such Note; provided, however, that any failure to so record shall not affect the Borrower’s Obligations under this Agreement or any Note. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Banks and the Administrative Agent to extend, continue and convert Advances, effect Rate Option selections and submit Competitive Bid Quotes based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Administrative Agent or any Bank in good faith believes to be an authorized officer or an officer, employee or agent of the Borrower designated by an authorized officer. The Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written or telecopy confirmation of each telephonic notice signed by an authorized officer. If the written or telecopy confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Banks, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Banks shall govern absent manifest error.

2.5.10 Notification of Advances, Interest Rates and Prepayments. The Administrative Agent will notify each Bank of the contents of each Ratable Borrowing Notice, Notice of Conversion/Continuation (or automatic conversion pursuant to Section 2.2.4(c)), and payment notice received by it hereunder promptly and in any event (provided such items were timely received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower) before the close of business on the same Business Day of receipt thereof (or, in the case of borrowing notices with respect to Floating Rate Advances, within one hour of receipt thereof). The Administrative Agent will notify each Bank of the interest rate applicable to each Fixed Rate Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Bank prompt notice of each change in the Base Rate in respect of any outstanding Floating Rate Advance.

2.5.11 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Borrower or any Bank has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrower or such Bank, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower or such Bank, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then:

(i) if the Borrower failed to make such payment, each Bank shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Bank in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the interest rate applicable to Floating Rate Loans; and

(ii) if any Bank failed to make such payment, such Bank shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing. If such Bank pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Bank’s Ratable Loan or Competitive Bid Loan, as the case may be, included in the applicable Advance. If such Bank does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Advance. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Bank from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Bank as a result of any default by such Bank hereunder.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Bank or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.5.11 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

2.5.12 Cancellation. The Borrower may, at any time after the Effective Date, upon not less than five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate or permanently reduce the Commitments in whole, or in a minimum aggregate amount of $10,000,000 (and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof); unless, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of Loans made on the effective date thereof, the then-outstanding principal amount of the Loans would exceed the amount of the combined Commitments then in effect. All accrued commitment fees to, but not including, the effective date of any reduction or termination of Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such reduction or termination. Once the Commitments are reduced in accordance with this Section, they may not be increased.

2.5.13 Lending Offices. Each Bank may from time to time, by written or telecopy notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, change its Lending Office and for whose account Loan payments are to be made.

2.6 Extension of Termination Date.

2.6.1 Requests for Extension. The Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Banks) not later than 45 days prior to each of the second anniversary hereof and the third anniversary hereof (each, a “Loan Anniversary”), request that each Bank extend such Bank’s Termination Date for an additional one year from the Termination Date then in effect hereunder (the “Existing Termination Date”); provided, that in no event shall the Termination Date be extended beyond November 1, 2018.

2.6.2 Bank Elections to Extend. Each Bank, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given not later than the date (the “Notice Date”) that is 10 Business Days after receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent of the Borrower’s request for an extension advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Bank agrees to such extension and each Bank that determines not to so extend its Termination Date (a “Non-Extending Bank”) shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Notice Date) and any Bank that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Bank. The election of any Bank to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Bank to so agree.

2.6.3 Notification by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of each Bank’s determination under this Section no later than the date 30 days prior to the applicable Loan Anniversary (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day).

2.6.4 Additional Banks. If (and only if) the Majority Banks have agreed to extend their Termination Date, the Borrower shall have the right on or before the Existing Termination Date to replace each Non-Extending Bank with, and add as “Banks” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an “Additional Bank”) as provided in Section 3.7, each of which Additional Banks shall have entered into an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Additional Bank shall, effective as of the Existing Termination Date, undertake a Commitment (and, if any such Additional Bank is already a Bank, its Commitment shall be in addition to such Bank’s Commitment hereunder on such date).

2.6.5 Minimum Extension Requirement. If (and only if) the Majority Banks have agreed so to extend their Termination Date immediately prior to the applicable Loan Anniversary, then, the Termination Date of each Extending Bank and of each Additional Bank shall be extended to the date falling one year after the Existing Termination Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Termination Date as so extended shall be the next preceding Business Day) and, as of the Existing Termination Date, each Additional Bank shall become a “Bank” for all purposes of this Agreement.

2.6.6 Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the extension of the Termination Date pursuant to this Section shall not be effective with respect to any Bank unless:

(i) no Unmatured Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such extension and after giving effect thereto;

(ii) the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects (except, if a qualifier relating to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or a similar concept applies to any representation or warranty, such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date of such extension and after giving effect thereto, as though made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date);

(iii) since the date of the financial statements most recently delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 6.1(a), no event, circumstance or development shall have occurred that constitutes, has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and

(iv) on the Termination Date of each Non-Extending Bank, the Borrower shall repay to each such Non-Extending Bank any Loans at the time owing to it (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.4).

2.6.7 Updated Schedule 3. Promptly after each such extension, the Administrative Agent shall prepare and deliver to each remaining Bank an updated Schedule 3 to this Agreement, listing the Banks, Commitments and Commitment percentages after giving effect to such extension.

2.6.8 Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 8.2 or 12.2 to the contrary.

2.7 Increase in Commitments.

2.7.1 Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Banks), the Borrower may from time to time request an increase in the Commitments by an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $500,000,000; provided that any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000,000. At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Bank is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Banks).

2.7.2 Bank Elections to Increase. Each Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its pro rata share of such requested increase. Any Bank not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment.

2.7.3 Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Banks. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Bank of the Banks’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Banks pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.

2.7.4 Effective Date and Allocations. If the Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Banks of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.

2.7.5 Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Bank) signed by a responsible officer of the Borrower (x) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the board of directors of the Borrower approving or consenting to such increase, and (y) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects (except, if a qualifier relating to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or a similar concept applies to any representation or warranty, such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the Increase Effective Date, as though made on and as of such date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date), and (B) no Unmatured Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Increase Effective Date and after giving effect thereto. The Borrower shall prepay any Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.4) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Loans ratable with any revised pro rata shares arising from any nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Section.

2.7.6 Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 8.2 or 12.2 to the contrary.

2.8 Defaulting Banks.

2.8.1 Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank, then, until such time as that Bank is no longer a Defaulting Bank, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(a) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Bank’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 8.2.

(b) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Bank (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8.1 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Bank pursuant to Section 12.1), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Bank to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Unmatured Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Bank has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Bank to fund Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Bank against that Defaulting Bank as a result of that Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Unmatured Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Bank as a result of that Defaulting Bank’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to that Defaulting Bank or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which that Defaulting Bank has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Banks on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of that Defaulting Bank. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Bank that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Bank pursuant to this Section 2.8.1(b) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Bank, and each Bank irrevocably consents hereto.

(c) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Bank shall be entitled to receive any facility fee pursuant to Section 2.4.3 for any period during which that Bank is a Defaulting Bank only to extent allocable to the Outstanding Amount of the Loans funded by it (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay the remaining amount of such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Bank).

2.8.2 Defaulting Bank Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Bank should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Bank, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Bank will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Banks or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Ratable Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Banks in accordance with their pro rata shares, whereupon that Bank will cease to be a Defaulting Bank; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Bank was a Defaulting Bank; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Bank to Bank will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Bank’s having been a Defaulting Bank.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

3.1 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by the Borrower to each Bank or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any Indemnified Taxes. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay all Other Taxes.

(b) If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Bank or the Administrative Agent, then:

(i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that, after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), such Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, receives and retains an amount equal to the sum it would have received and retained had no such deductions or withholdings been made;

(ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and withholdings;

(iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Law; and

(iv) the Borrower shall also pay to each Bank or the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank, at the time interest is paid, Further Taxes in the amount that the respective Bank specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield the Bank would have received if such Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes had not been imposed.

(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Bank and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Other Taxes, and (iii) Further Taxes in the amount that the respective Bank specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield the Bank would have received if such Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes had not been imposed, and any liability (including penalties, interest, additions to tax and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date the Bank or the Administrative Agent makes written demand therefor.

(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment by the Borrower of Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes or Further Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to each Bank or the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of payment satisfactory to such Bank or the Administrative Agent.

(e) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a), (b) or (c) of this Section, each Bank shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Borrower or the Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Bank to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Bank to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.10. Each Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Bank under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.1(e). The Borrower shall also, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within twenty (20) days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Bank for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required pursuant to this Section 3.1(e).

3.2 Yield Protection. If, after the date hereof, because of the enactment of, or any change in, any Law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any interpretation thereof (provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued), which

(a) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank in respect of Fixed Rate Advances (other than reserves and assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to Fixed Rate Advances), or

(b) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Bank of making, funding or maintaining Fixed Rate Advances or reduces any amount receivable by any Bank in connection with loans, or requires any Bank to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of loans held or interest received by it, by an amount deemed material by such Bank, or

(c) affects the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by any Bank or any corporation controlling any Bank and such Bank determines the amount of capital required is increased by or based upon the existence of this Agreement or its obligation to make Loans hereunder or of commitments of this type,

then, within 15 days of demand by such Bank through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall pay such Bank that portion of such increased expense incurred (including, in the case of Section 3.2(c), any reduction in the rate of return on capital to an amount below that which it could have achieved but for such law, rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive and after taking into account such Bank’s policies as to capital adequacy) or reduction in an amount received which such Bank determines is attributable to making, funding and maintaining its Loans and its Commitment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Bank fails to make a claim within 90 days after it becomes, or ought reasonably to have become, aware of any event giving rise to a claim under this Section 3.2, then such Bank shall be entitled to make any claim under this Section 3.2 only in respect of any amounts due under this Section 3.2 that are attributable to the period following the 90th day preceding the day upon which the Bank makes such claim.

3.3 Availability of Rate Options. If any Bank determines that maintenance of any of its Fixed Rate Loans, or Floating Rate Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Base Rate, at a suitable Lending Office would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive, whether or not having the force of law, such Bank shall so notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of the affected Rate Option (and, if such notice asserts the illegality of such Bank making or maintaining Floating Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Base Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Floating Rate Loans of such Bank shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Base Rate component of the Base Rate) and require any Fixed Rate Advances outstanding under the affected Rate Option to be repaid; or if any Bank determines that (i) deposits of a type or maturity appropriate to match fund Fixed Rate Advances or Floating Rate Advances whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Base Rate are not available, the Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of the affected Rate Option with respect to any Fixed Rate Advances and the utilization of the Eurodollar Base Rate component in determining the Base Rate with respect to any Floating Rate Advances, in each case made after the date of any such determination, or (ii) a Rate Option does not accurately reflect the cost of making a Fixed Rate Advance at such Rate Option, such Bank shall so notify the Administrative Agent and then the Administrative Agent shall suspend the availability of the affected Rate Option with respect to any Fixed Rate Advances made after the date of any such determination.

3.4 Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a Fixed Rate Advance occurs, whether made by the Borrower or by a Bank or other assignee in connection with an assignment pursuant to Section 3.7, on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment, automatic conversion or otherwise, or the Borrower requests a Fixed Rate Advance, or the continuation or conversion of an Advance as or to a Fixed Rate Advance, or the Borrower does not borrow, continue or convert such Fixed Rate Advance on the date specified by the Borrower except by reason of default by the Banks, the Borrower will indemnify each Bank for any loss or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain the Fixed Rate Advance.

3.5 Regulation D Compensation. Each Bank may through the Administrative Agent request the Borrower to pay and upon such request the Borrower shall pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest on the Borrower’s Eurodollar Ratable Loans, additional interest on such Loans at a rate per annum determined by such Bank up to but not exceeding the excess of (i) (A) the Eurodollar Base Rate divided by (B) one minus the Reserve Requirement with respect to Eurocurrency liabilities (as defined in Regulation D) over (ii) the Eurodollar Base Rate. Any Bank wishing to require payment of such additional interest (x) shall so notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in which case such additional interest on the Eurodollar Ratable Loans of such Bank shall be payable to such Bank at the place indicated in such notice with respect to each Interest Period commencing at least five Business Days after the giving of such notice, and (y) shall notify the Borrower at least five Business Days prior to each date on which interest is payable on the Eurodollar Ratable Loans of the amount then due it under this Section.

3.6 Bank Statements; Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each Bank shall designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to its Fixed Rate Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Bank under Section 3.1 or 3.2 or to avoid the unavailability of a Rate Option under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not prohibited by applicable legal and regulatory restrictions and not disadvantageous to such Bank as determined in its sole discretion. Each Bank shall deliver to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent a written statement of such Bank as to the amount due, if any, under Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.4, simultaneously with making a request for payment under said Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.4. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Bank 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 Bank 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 for such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrower of the written statement. The Obligations of the Borrower under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.4 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

3.7 Removal of Banks. If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make or continue any Loans as, or convert Loans to, Eurodollar Ratable Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 3.3, (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 3.1 or 3.2, or (iii) any Bank is a Defaulting Bank, the Borrower may elect to remove such Bank as a Bank hereunder or, at Borrower’s sole expense, to require such Bank to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and the consents required by, Section 13.1), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations; provided, that (A) the Borrower notifies such Bank through the Administrative Agent of such election at least five Business Days before any date fixed for a borrowing, (B) (x) in the case of a removal, the Borrower promptly repays all outstanding Obligations to such removed Bank or (y) in the case of an assignment and delegation, such Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and other Obligations payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (C) no Default or Unmatured Default exists. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of a notice of removal of a Bank in accordance herewith, the Commitment of such Bank shall terminate. Subject to Section 10.7(b), nothing in this Section 3.7 shall limit Borrower’s right to recover from a Defaulting Bank Borrower’s loss, liability, expense or damage caused by such Defaulting Bank’s failure to perform its funding obligations under this Agreement.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The Borrower represents and warrants to the Banks that:

5.1 Corporate Existence. The Borrower is a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the State of Oregon and is duly qualified 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, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on the Borrower or any Subsidiary or the Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s articles of incorporation or bylaws or the provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its property, is bound, or conflict with or constitute a default thereunder, 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 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.

5.4 Financial Statements. The May 31, 2011 and the August 31, 2011 consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and Subsidiaries heretofore delivered to the Banks were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect on the date such statements were prepared and fairly present the consolidated financial condition and operations of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries at such date and the consolidated results of their operations for the period then ended.

5.5 Taxes. The Borrower and the Subsidiaries have filed all United States federal tax returns and all other United States and foreign 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 Subsidiary, except such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided. The United States income tax returns of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries have been audited by the Internal Revenue Service through the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009. No tax liens have been filed and no claims are being asserted with respect to any such taxes. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries in respect of any taxes or other governmental charges are adequate.

5.6 [Reserved.].

5.7 Subsidiaries. Schedule 1 hereto contains an accurate list of the Subsidiaries of the Borrower, setting forth their respective jurisdictions of incorporation or organization, as of May 31, 2011, as filed as Exhibit 21 to the Borrower’s Annual Report to the SEC on Form 10-K for the Fiscal year ended May 31, 2011. All of the Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 1 are directly or indirectly wholly-owned by the Borrower. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock or ownership interests of such Subsidiaries have been duly authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. Each Subsidiary is duly organized or formed and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and is duly qualified and has all requisite power and authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted.

5.8 ERISA. There are no material Unfunded Liabilities. 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 terminate any Plan.

5.9 Accuracy of Information. No information, exhibit or report furnished by the Borrower or any Subsidiary to the Administrative Agent or to any Bank in connection with the negotiation of, or compliance with, the Loan Documents contained any material misstatement of fact or omitted to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading.

5.10 Regulation U. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary owns any margin stock (as defined in Regulation U).

5.11 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 reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) any agreement or instrument evidencing or governing Indebtedness.

5.12 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 properties where failure to comply could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.13 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 title, free of all Liens other than those permitted by Section 6.15, to all of the properties and assets reflected in the financial statements as owned by them.

5.14 Post-Retirement Benefits. The amount of the present value of the expected cost of post-retirement medical and insurance benefits payable by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to their employees and former employees, as estimated by the Borrower in accordance with reasonable procedures and assumptions, is not material to the financial condition of the Borrower.

5.15 Environmental and Safety and Health Matters. To the best of the knowledge of the Borrower, the Borrower and each Subsidiary are in compliance with all Environmental Laws and Occupational and Health Laws where failure to comply would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the ability of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has received notice of any claims that any of them is not in compliance in all material respects with the Environmental Laws where failure to comply would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the ability of the Borrower to perform its Obligations.

(g) Such other information (including non-financial information) as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request.

Documents required to be delivered pursuant to clauses (a), (b), (d) and (e) of this Section 6.1 (to the extent any such documents are included in materials otherwise filed with the SEC) 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 at www.nikebiz.com; or (ii) on which such documents are posted on the Borrower’s behalf on IntraLinks/IntraAgency or another relevant website, if any, to which each Bank and the Administrative Agent have access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent); provided, that: (i) the Borrower shall deliver paper copies of such documents to the Administrative Agent or any Bank that requests the Borrower to deliver such paper copies until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by the Administrative Agent or such Bank and (ii) the Borrower shall notify (which may be by facsimile or electronic mail) the Administrative Agent and each Bank of the posting of any such documents and provide to the Administrative Agent by electronic mail electronic versions (i.e., soft copies) of such documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in every instance the Borrower shall be required to provide paper copies of the Compliance Certificates required by Section 6.1(c) to the Administrative Agent and each of the Banks. Except for such Compliance Certificates, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to request the delivery or to maintain 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 for delivery, and each Bank 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 Co-Arrangers will make available to the Banks 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 Banks may be “public-side” Banks (i.e. Banks that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public Bank”). The Borrower hereby agrees that (i) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Banks 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; (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Co-Arrangers and the Banks 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 (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information (as defined in Section 10.12), they shall be treated as set forth in such Section 10.12); (iii) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor”; and (iv) the Administrative Agent and each Co-Arranger shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to mark any Borrower Materials “PUBLIC”.

6.2 Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will, and the Borrower will cause each Subsidiary to, use the proceeds of the Advances for working capital purposes and general corporate purposes; provided, that the proceeds of the Advances shall not be used for the direct financing of an Unfriendly Acquisition, a bid to make an Unfriendly Acquisition or any steps preliminary to an Unfriendly Acquisition or a bid to make an Unfriendly Acquisition. The Borrower will not, nor will the Borrower permit any Subsidiary to, use any of the proceeds of the Loans to purchase or carry any “margin stock” (as defined in Regulations U and X) or to extend credit to any person to purchase or carry any margin stock, or extend credit to any person for any of the aforesaid purposes.

6.3 Notice of Default. The Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, give prompt notice in writing to the Administrative Agent and Banks of (a) the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default, (b) any other development, financial, legal or otherwise, which the Borrower reasonably expects will have a Material Adverse Effect or would materially adversely affect the ability of the Borrower to repay the Obligations, and (c) receipt of any notice that the operations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary are not in compliance with requirements of any applicable Environmental Law or any Occupational Safety and Health Law where failure to comply would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the ability of the Borrower to perform its Obligations hereunder, or receipt of notice that any properties or assets of the Borrower or any Subsidiary are subject to an Environmental Lien securing obligations in excess of $20,000,000. As used herein, “Environmental Lien” means a Lien in favor of any Governmental Authority for (i) any liability under any Environmental Law, or (ii) damages arising from or costs incurred by such Governmental Authority in response to a spillage, disposal or release into the environment of any hazardous or toxic substance.

6.5 Taxes.

The use of such permits and other governmental approvals, patents, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, technology, know-how and processes by the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person.

6.9 Inspection. Subject to Section 10.12 hereof and upon reasonable notice, the Borrower will, and will cause each Material Subsidiary to, permit the Administrative Agent or any Bank, by their respective representatives and agents, to inspect any of the properties, corporate books and financial records of the Borrower and each Material Subsidiary, to examine and make copies of the books of accounts and other financial records of the Borrower and each Material Subsidiary, and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Borrower and each Material Subsidiary with, and to be advised as to the same by, their respective officers at such reasonable times and intervals as the Administrative Agent or any Bank may designate.

ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

8.1 Acceleration. If any Default described in Section 7.5 or 7.6 occurs, the obligations of the Banks to make Loans to the Borrower hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations of the Borrower shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Bank. If any other Default occurs, the Majority Banks may terminate the Commitments of the Banks, or declare the Obligations of the Borrower to be due and payable, or both, whereupon such Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives.

If, within 14 days after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the Commitments of the Banks as a result of any Default (other than any Default as described in Section 7.5, 7.6, 7.7 or 7.10) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, the Majority Banks (in their sole discretion) shall so direct the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.

8.2 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Majority Banks and the Borrower and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(a) waive any condition set forth in Section 4.1 without the written consent of each Bank;

(b) extend or increase the Commitment of any Bank (except reinstatement of any Commitment in accordance with Section 8.1) without the written consent of such Bank;

(c) postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to the Banks (or any of them) hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Bank directly affected thereby;

(d) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or change the manner of computation of any financial ratio (including any change in any applicable defined term) used in determining the Applicable Margin or Applicable Facility Fee Rate, as the case may be, that would result in a reduction of any interest rate on any Loan or any fee payable hereunder without the written consent of each Bank directly affected thereby;

(e) change Section 2.5.8 or Section 12.2 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Bank; or

(f) change any provision of this Section or the definition of “Majority Banks” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Banks required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Bank;

provided, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Banks required above, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and provided, further, that the Fee Letters may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Bank shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Banks or each affected Bank may be effected with the consent of the applicable Banks other than Defaulting Banks), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Bank may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Bank and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Banks or each affected Bank that by its terms affects any Defaulting Bank more adversely than other affected Banks shall require the consent of such Defaulting Bank.

8.3 Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Banks 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 Banks and the Administrative Agent 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 Banks until the Obligations have been paid in full.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

10.1 Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Bank, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Bank or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Bank may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Unmatured Default at the time of any Loan or Commitment, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

10.2 Governmental Regulation. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no Bank shall be obligated to extend credit to the Borrower in violation of any limitation or prohibition provided by any applicable statute or regulation.

10.3 Taxes. Any taxes (excluding income taxes) or other similar assessments or charges payable or ruled payable by any Governmental Authority in respect of the Loan Documents shall be paid by the Borrower, together with interest and penalties, if any.

10.4 Headings. Section headings in the Loan Documents are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the provisions of the Loan Documents.

10.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided, that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Banks in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

10.6 Several Obligations. The obligations of the Banks hereunder to make Ratable Loans are several and not joint. No Bank shall be the partner or agent of any other (except to the extent to which the Administrative Agent is authorized to act as such). The failure of any Bank to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Bank from any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns.

10.7 Expenses; Indemnification.

(a) The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification requested by the Borrower of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby are consummated); provided that all costs and expenses incurred in connection with any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification requested by the Administrative Agent or a Bank of the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be paid by the Administrative Agent or such Bank (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses incurred by the Borrower) (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all Attorney Costs, and (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and each Bank for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement, or preservation of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any “workout” or restructuring in respect of the Obligations and during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law), including all Attorney Costs. The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all search, filing, recording, title insurance and appraisal charges and fees and taxes related thereto, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the cost of independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by the Administrative Agent or any Bank. All amounts due under this Section 10.7 shall be payable within ten Business Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations.

(b) Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Administrative Agent-Related Person, each Bank and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment or Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, or (c) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding by third parties relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, subject to Oregon Revised Statutes § 20.096. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks, electronic telecommunications, or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall any Indemnitee have any liability for any indirect, consequential or punitive damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). All amounts due under this Section 10.7 shall be payable within ten Business Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

10.8 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 Banks.

10.9 Accounting.

(a) Except as provided to the contrary herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted and all accounting determinations hereunder shall be made in accordance with Agreement Accounting Principles. The Borrower will not make any change in its fiscal year or in the Agreement Accounting Principles.

(b) If at any time any change in Agreement Accounting Principles would 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 Agreement Accounting Principles (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with Agreement Accounting Principles prior to such change therein and (ii) the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in Agreement Accounting Principles.

10.10 Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which the Borrower is a party that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions thereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.10, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Banks shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

10.11 Nonliability of Banks. The relationship between the Borrower and the Banks and the Administrative Agent with respect to this Agreement shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Bank shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower with respect to this Agreement. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Bank undertakes under this Agreement 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.

10.12 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Banks 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 who are involved with the lending facility contemplated by this Agreement (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 regulatory authority (including any bank examiner or 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 hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (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 any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Bank pursuant to Section 2.7 or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its professional advisor) 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 (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Bank on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For 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 or any Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided, that in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified in writing 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.

10.13 CHOICE OF LAW. THE 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 OREGON BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS.

10.14 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR OREGON STATE COURT SITTING IN PORTLAND, OREGON IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF ANY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY BANK TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE BORROWER IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

10.15 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH BANK HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED THEREUNDER.

10.16 OREGON LEGAL NOTICE. UNDER OREGON LAW, MOST AGREEMENTS, PROMISES AND COMMITMENTS MADE BY US CONCERNING LOANS AND OTHER CREDIT EXTENSIONS WHICH ARE NOT FOR PERSONAL, FAMILY OR HOUSEHOLD PURPOSES OR SECURED SOLELY BY THE BORROWER’S RESIDENCE MUST BE IN WRITING, EXPRESS CONSIDERATION AND BE SIGNED BY US TO BE ENFORCEABLE. THE TERM “US” MEANS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE BANKS.

10.17 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart.

10.18 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the credit facility provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) constitute arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and other agents party hereto, on the other hand, and the Borrower is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, the Administrative Agent and each of the other agents party hereto is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (iii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any other agent party hereto has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or any other agent party hereto has advised or is currently advising the Borrower or any of its Affiliates on other matters) and neither the Administrative Agent nor any other agent party hereto has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; (iv) the Administrative Agent and the other agents party hereto and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any such other agent has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) each of the Administrative Agent and the other agents party hereto has not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. The Borrower hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent and each other agent party hereto with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.

10.19 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Bank that is subject hereto and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Bank) 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 Bank or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with such Act.

ARTICLE XI

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

11.1 Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent. Each Bank hereby irrevocably, subject to Section 11.9, appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Bank or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

11.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

11.3 Liability of Administrative Agent. No Administrative Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Bank or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower, or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Administrative Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Bank or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates thereof.

11.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Banks as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Majority Banks (or such greater number of Banks as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Banks.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.1, each Bank that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Bank prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

11.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Bank or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Banks of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as may be directed by the Majority Banks in accordance with Article VIII; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Banks.

11.6 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent. Each Bank acknowledges that no Administrative Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of Borrower and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Administrative Agent-Related Person to any Bank as to any matter, including whether Administrative Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Bank represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Bank also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Banks by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower or any of its Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Administrative Agent-Related Person.

11.7 Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Banks shall indemnify upon demand each Administrative Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Administrative Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Bank shall be liable for the payment to any Administrative Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Administrative Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Majority Banks shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Bank shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

11.8 Administrative Agent in Individual Capacity. Bank of America and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with Borrower and its Affiliates as though Bank of America were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Banks. The Banks acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America or its Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrower or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, Bank of America shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Bank” and “Banks” include Bank of America in its individual capacity.

11.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Majority Banks shall, resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Banks. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Majority Banks shall appoint from among the Banks a successor administrative agent for the Banks, which successor administrative agent shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of a Default (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Banks and the Borrower, a successor administrative agent from among the Banks. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XI and Section 10.7 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Banks shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Majority Banks appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

11.10 Foreign Banks.

(a) Each Bank that is a “foreign corporation, partnership or trust” within the meaning of the Code and that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party with respect to payments hereunder or under any Loan Documents shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, prior to receipt of any payment subject to withholding under the Code (or after accepting an assignment of an interest herein), two duly signed completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such Person and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Person by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Person by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or such other evidence satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such Person is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding tax. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Person shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so, (a) promptly submit to the Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from or reduction of, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Person by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, (b) promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (c) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws that the Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Person. If such Person, to the extent it may lawfully do so, fails to deliver the above forms or other documentation, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Person an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code, without reduction. If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold any tax or other amount from payments made in respect of such Person, such Person shall indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) of the Administrative Agent.

(b) If a payment made to a Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Bank 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 Bank shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Bank has complied with such Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 11.10(b), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(c) The obligations of the Banks under this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

11.11 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Banks and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel, and all other amounts due the Banks and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.4 and 10.7 allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.4 and 10.7.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Bank or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Bank in any such proceeding.

11.12 Other Agents; Co-Lead Arrangers. None of the Persons identified in this Agreement as a “Syndication Agent,” “Co-Documentation Agent” or “Co-Arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Banks as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Bank. Each Bank acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

ARTICLE XII

SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS

12.1 Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Banks provided by law, if the Borrower becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any Default occurs and is continuing, each Bank is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being waived by the Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Bank to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all Obligations owing to such Bank, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Bank shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured; provided that, in the event that any Defaulting Bank shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Bank from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Banks, and (b) the Defaulting Bank shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Bank as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Bank agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Bank; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

12.2 Ratable Payments. If any Bank, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Loans in a greater proportion than that received by any other Bank (except as specifically contemplated by the terms of this Agreement), such Bank agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Loans held by the other Banks so that after such purchase each Bank will hold its ratable proportion of Loans. If any Bank, 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 set off, such Bank agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Banks 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. Nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Bank to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the Borrower other than the Obligations. The provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds from the existence of a Defaulting Bank).

ARTICLE XIII

13.1 Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Bank and no Bank may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section or (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). 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, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Any Bank may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Bank's Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund with respect to a Bank, no minimum amount need be assigned and (B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) 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 or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $10,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to rights and obligations in respect of Competitive Bid Loans; (iii) no consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition (A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) shall be required unless (1) a Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof, and (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Bank, an Affiliate of a Bank or an Approved Fund with respect to a Bank; (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment (the assignee, if it is not a Bank, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a completed administrative questionnaire in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent); (v) no such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries; (vi) to any Defaulting Bank or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Bank hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (vi); and (vii) no such assignment shall be made to a natural person. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Bank hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Bank, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Bank to the Administrative Agent or any Bank hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Bank hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of the foregoing sentence, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Bank for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder, if not already a party hereto, shall become a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement, and the assigning Bank 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 Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 10.7 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Bank. Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a participation in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Bank as a Defaulting Bank. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Any Bank may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Bank or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries ) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Bank's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided, that (i) such Bank's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Bank sells such a participation shall provide that such Bank 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 Bank will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 8.2 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.4, and shall be bound by the obligations set forth in Section 3.6, to the same extent as if it were a Bank and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.1 as though it were a Bank, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.2 as though it were a Bank.

(e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1 or 3.4 than the applicable Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower's prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Bank if it were a Bank shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.1 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 11.10 as though it were a Bank.

(f) Each Bank that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an 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 Bank 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, 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, 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 Bank shall treat each Person 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.

(g) Any Bank may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Bank, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or central bank with jurisdiction over such Bank; provided, that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Bank from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Bank as a party hereto.

(h) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures and Global and National Commerce Act or any state Laws based on or substantially similar to the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(i) As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Eligible Assignee” means any Person that meets the requirements to be an assignee under Section 13.1(b)(iii), (v) and (vi) (subject to such consents, if any, as may be required under Section 13.1(b)(iii)).

“Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is (or will be) engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business.

“Approved Fund” means any Fund that is administered or managed by (a) a Bank, (b) an Affiliate of a Bank or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Bank.

FORM OF

BORROWER COUNSEL OPINION

November 1, 2011

To the Administrative Agent and Banks who are parties to the

Credit Agreement described below:

Re: Opinion of Counsel

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am the Global Governance Counsel for NIKE, Inc., an Oregon corporation (the “Borrower”). In that capacity, I provide this Opinion Letter in connection with the Credit Agreement dated as of even date herewith among the Borrower, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the Banks named therein, providing for loans in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $1,000,000,000 at any one time outstanding, and the Ratable Notes and Competitive Bid Notes executed in connection therewith (collectively, the “Agreement”). Capitalized terms used in this Opinion Letter are defined as set forth in the Agreement or the Accord (see below).

This Opinion Letter is governed by, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, the Legal Opinion Accord (the “Accord”) of the ABA Section of Business Law (1991). As a consequence, it is subject to a number of qualifications, exceptions, definitions, limitations on coverage and other limitations, all as more particularly described in the Accord, and this Opinion Letter should be read in conjunction therewith. The Law covered by the opinions expressed herein is limited to the Federal Laws of the United States and the Law of the State of Oregon. This Opinion Letter is limited to matters about which I possess Actual Knowledge.

Based on and subject to the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

1. The Agreement is enforceable against the Borrower.

2. Execution and delivery by the Borrower of, and performance of its agreements in, the Agreement do not (i) violate its Constituent Documents, (ii) breach or result in a default under any existing obligation of the Borrower, or result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien, under any contract filed by the Borrower with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or (iii) breach or otherwise violate any existing obligation of the Borrower under any Court Order.

3. Execution and delivery by the Borrower of, and performance by the Borrower of its agreements in, the Agreement do not violate applicable provisions of statutory law or regulation.
