ARTICLE II

THE CREDITS

     Section 2.01   Commitments . Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Loans to each Borrower requesting a Borrowing, at any time and from time to time on and after the date hereof and until the earlier of the Termination Date and the termination of the Commitment of such Lender, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not

     to exceed such Lender’s Commitment at such time, minus, in each case, the amount by which the Competitive Loans outstanding at such time shall be deemed pursuant to Section 2.14 to have utilized such Lender’s Commitment, subject , however , to the conditions that:

     (a) at no time shall the outstanding aggregate principal amount of all Loans made by all Lenders and the Swing Line Banks plus the aggregate L/C Exposure of such Lenders at such time exceed the Total Commitment;

     (b) at no time shall the outstanding aggregate principal amount of all Loans made by all Lenders to WRECO exceed $400,000,000; and

     (c) at all times the outstanding aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans made by each Lender shall equal the product of (i) the Applicable Percentage of such Lender times (ii) the outstanding aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans made pursuant to Section 2.02.

     Each Lender’s Commitment is set forth opposite its name in Schedule 2.01, or in the case of each assignee that becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 9.04 or any subsequent assignments pursuant to Section 9.04, on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.04(c).

     Within the foregoing limits, each Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow hereunder, on and after the Closing Date and prior to the Termination Date, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, on a several and not joint basis.

     Section 2.02   Loans . (a) Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a Revolving Borrowing consisting of Revolving Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments; provided , however , that the failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Loan shall not in and of itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Revolving Loan required to be made by such other Lender). Each Competitive Loan shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.19. The Loans (other than Swing Line Loans) comprising any Revolving Borrowing (other than a Swing Line Borrowing) shall be in an aggregate principal amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $25,000,000 (or an aggregate principal amount equal to the remaining balance of the available Commitments).

     (b) Each Revolving Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans, as the applicable Borrower may request pursuant to paragraph (e) hereof and each Competitive Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Eurodollar Loans or Fixed Rate Loans as the applicable Borrower may request in accordance with Section 2.19. Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not (i) affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) entitle such Lender to any amounts pursuant to Sections 2.11 or 2.12 to which amounts such Lender would not be entitled if such Lender had made such Loan itself through its domestic branch. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the

same time; provided , however , that neither Borrower shall be entitled to request any Revolving Borrowing which, if made, would result in an aggregate of more than twenty (20) separate Revolving Loans from any Lender being outstanding hereunder at any one time. For purposes of the foregoing, Revolving Loans (other than Revolving Loans which are Base Rate Loans) having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Revolving Loans.

     (c) Each Lender shall make each Loan (other than a Swing Line Loan) to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent in New York, New York, not later than 12:00 noon (or in the case of Base Rate Loans, 2:00 p.m.), New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, credit the amounts so received to the general deposit account of the applicable Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent or, if a Borrowing (other than a Swing Line Borrowing) shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders. Competitive Loans shall be made by the Lender or Lenders whose Competitive Bids therefor are accepted pursuant to Section 2.19 in the amount so accepted, and Revolving Loans shall be made by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with Section 2.14. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the time of any Revolving Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this paragraph (c) and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the applicable Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Revolving Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan as part of such Revolving Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

     (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Borrower shall be entitled to request any Revolving Borrowing with an Interest Period ending after the Termination Date.

     (e) In order to request a Revolving Borrowing, the Borrower requesting such Borrowing shall hand deliver or telecopy to the Administrative Agent a Revolving Borrowing Request in the form of Exhibit A (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days before a proposed borrowing and (b) in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the day of a proposed borrowing. Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall in each case specify (i) whether the Revolving Borrowing then being requested is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or a Base Rate Borrowing; (ii) the date of such Revolving Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and the amount thereof; and (iii) if such Revolving Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the

Interest Period with respect thereto. If no election as to the Type of Revolving Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Revolving Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.02(e) and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.

     (f) If a Fronting Bank shall not have received the payment required to be made by Weyerhaeuser pursuant to Section 2.20(e) within the time specified in such Section, such Fronting Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the L/C Disbursement and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of such L/C Disbursement and its Applicable Percentage thereof. Not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date (or, if such Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on any day, no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day), each Lender will make available the amount of its Applicable Percentage of such L/C Disbursement (it being understood that such amount shall be deemed to constitute a Base Rate Loan of such Lender and such payment shall be deemed to have reduced the L/C Exposure) in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent in New York, New York, and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Fronting Bank amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Fronting Bank any amounts received by it from Weyerhaeuser pursuant to Section 2.20(e) prior to the time that any Lender makes any payment pursuant to this paragraph (f), and any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made such payments and to the applicable Fronting Bank, as their interests may appear. If any Lender shall not have made its Applicable Percentage of such L/C Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided above, such Lender agrees to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with this paragraph to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Fronting Bank at, for the first such day, the Federal Funds Rate, and for each day thereafter, the Base Rate.

     Section 2.03   Conversion and Continuation of Loans . (a) Each Borrower shall, with respect to its respective Revolving Borrowings, have the right at any time, upon prior irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent given in the manner and at the times specified in Section 2.02(e) with respect to the Type of Revolving Borrowing into which conversion or continuation is to be made, to convert any of its Revolving Borrowings into a Revolving Borrowing of a different Type and to continue any of its Eurodollar Revolving Borrowings into a subsequent Interest Period of any permissible duration, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to the following:

     (i) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of Revolving Loans comprising the converted or continued Revolving Borrowing;

     (ii) if less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Revolving Borrowing shall be converted or continued, the aggregate principal amount of such

Revolving Borrowing converted and/or continued shall in each case not be less than the minimum amount set forth in Section 2.02;

     (iii) if a Eurodollar Borrowing is converted at any time other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the applicable Borrower shall pay any amount due pursuant to Section 2.13;

     (iv) if such Revolving Borrowing is to be converted into a Eurodollar Borrowing or if a Eurodollar Borrowing is to be continued, no Interest Period selected shall extend beyond the Termination Date;

     (v) interest accrued to the day immediately preceding each date of conversion or continuation shall be payable on each Revolving Borrowing (or part thereof) that is converted or continued concurrently with such conversion or continuation; and

     (vi) Competitive Borrowings may not be converted or continued.

         (b) Each notice given pursuant to Section 2.03(a) shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the identity and the amount of the Revolving Borrowing that the applicable Borrower requests to be converted or continued; (ii) whether such Borrowing (or any part thereof) is to be converted or continued as a Base Rate Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day); and (iv) if such Borrowing (or any part thereof) is to be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto. If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing. The Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to Section 2.03(a) and of each Lender’s portion of any converted or continued Revolving Borrowing.

         (c) If the applicable Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.03 to continue any Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.03 to convert such Eurodollar Borrowing), such Borrowing shall automatically be converted into a Base Rate Borrowing. In the event of the occurrence and continuation of a Default or an Event of Default (i) all Eurodollar Revolving Borrowings of each Borrower shall be converted into Base Rate Borrowings on the last day of the Interest Period then in effect, and (ii) no Base Rate Borrowing may be converted into a Borrowing of another Type so long as a Default or Event of Default continues to exist.

         Section 2.04   Fees . (a) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to each Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 and on the date on which the Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated as provided herein, a facility fee (each, a “ Facility Fee ,” and collectively, the “ Facility Fees ”), calculated as specified below, on the amount of the Commitment of such Lender, whether used or unused, during the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with the Closing Date or

ending with the Termination Date applicable to such Lender or any date on which the Commitment of such Lender shall be terminated). All Facility Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The Facility Fee due to each Lender shall commence to accrue on the Closing Date and shall cease to accrue on the earlier of the Termination Date applicable to such Lender and the termination of the Commitment of such Lender as provided herein, provided that, to the extent that any Lender has any Credit Exposure which remains outstanding after the Termination Date, the Facility Fee due to such Lender shall continue to accrue on such Credit Exposure and shall be payable upon demand.

     The Facility Fee for each Lender shall be calculated as a per annum rate in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Commitment hereunder and the applicable percentage specified in the table below, to be determined based upon the Ratings received from S&P and Moody’s by Weyerhaeuser:

     The Facility Fees shall change effective as of the date on which the applicable rating agency announces any change in its Ratings. In the event either S&P or Moody’s shall withdraw or suspend its Ratings, the remaining Rating announced by either S&P or Moody’s, as the case may be, shall apply. In the event neither agency shall provide a Rating, the Facility Fees shall be based on the lowest rating provided above. If the Ratings by S&P and Moody’s are split so that two consecutive Levels (as defined in the table above) apply, the higher of those Ratings shall determine the applicable percentage to calculate the Facility Fee. If the Ratings by S&P and Moody’s are split so that the applicable Levels in the table above are separated by only one intermediate Level, then such intermediate Level shall determine the applicable percentage to calculate the Facility Fee. If the Ratings by S&P and Moody’s are split so that the applicable Levels in the table above are separated by two intermediate Levels, then the intermediate Level representing one Level higher than the lowest Rating shall determine the applicable percentage to calculate the Facility Fee. The Facility Fees shall be calculated by the Administrative Agent, which calculation absent manifest error shall be final and binding on all parties.

     (b) Weyerhaeuser agrees to pay the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the administration fees (the “ Administrative Agent Fees ”) at the times and in the amounts agreed upon in the letter agreement dated as of November 8, 2006, among Weyerhaeuser, WRECO, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and the Administrative Agent.

     (c) Weyerhaeuser agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for pro rata distribution to each Lender (an “ L/C Participation Fee ”), for the period from the Closing Date until the later of the Termination Date and the date on which there ceases to be any L/C Exposure outstanding (or such earlier date as all Letters of Credit shall be canceled or expire and the Total Commitment shall be terminated), on that portion of the average daily L/C Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued for the account of Weyerhaeuser (excluding the portion

thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements), at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans from time to time in effect for the Borrower and (ii) to each Fronting Bank for its own account a fronting fee (a “ Fronting Fee ”), which shall accrue at such rate as is mutually agreed between the applicable Fronting Bank and Weyerhaeuser on the average daily amount of the L/C Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Fronting Bank for the account of Weyerhaeuser (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any L/C Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Fronting Bank for the account of Weyerhaeuser, as well as such Fronting Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. L/C Participation Fees and Fronting Fees accrued under this paragraph are payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter and on the date on which the Total Commitment shall be terminated as provided herein. All L/C Participation Fees and Fronting Fees payable under this paragraph shall be computed on the basis of the number of days actually elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days.

     (d) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for prompt distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

     Section 2.05   Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt . (a) The outstanding principal balance of (i) each Revolving Loan shall be payable on the Termination Date, (ii) each Swing Line Loan shall be payable on the earlier of the maturity date specified in the applicable Swing Line Borrowing Request (which maturity shall not be later than the seventh day after the requested date of such Borrowing) and the Termination Date, and (iii) each Competitive Loan shall be payable on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Competitive Loan and on the Termination Date. Each Loan shall bear interest from the date thereof on the outstanding principal balance thereof as set forth in Section 2.06.

     (b) Each Lender shall, and is hereby authorized by the Borrowers to, maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

     (c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

     (d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of each Borrower to repay its Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     (e) Any Lender may request that Revolving Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note, substantially in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall promptly, and in no event more than ten (10) Business Days after a request therefor, prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns). Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

     Section 2.06   Interest on Loans . (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising (i) each Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin, determined pursuant to paragraph (d) below, and (ii) Eurodollar Competitive Loan, at the Eurodollar Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus (or minus, as applicable) the Margin applicable to such Borrowing.

     (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07 the Loans comprising each Base Rate Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

     (c) Interest on each Eurodollar Loan shall, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, be payable on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and, in case of a Eurodollar Loan with an Interest Period of more than three months’ duration, each day that would have been an interest payment date for such Loan had successive Interest Periods of three months’ duration been applicable to such Loan, and on the Termination Date or any earlier date on which this Agreement is, pursuant to its terms and conditions, terminated. Interest on each Base Rate Loan shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and on the Termination Date or any earlier date on which this Agreement is, pursuant to its terms and conditions, terminated. The applicable Eurodollar Rate or Base Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Interest on each Fixed Rate Loan shall be payable on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to the Borrowing of which such Loan is a part and, in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing with an Interest Period of more than three months’ duration (unless otherwise specified in the applicable Competitive Bid Request), each day prior to the last day of such Interest Period, and any other dates that are specified in the applicable Competitive Bid Request as interest payment dates with respect to such Borrowing, and on the Termination Date or any earlier date on which this Agreement is, pursuant to its terms and conditions, terminated.

     (d) As used herein, “ Applicable Margin ” shall mean the sum of (i) the applicable percentage per annum specified in the table below, to be determined based upon the Ratings received by Weyerhaeuser from S&P and Moody’s, and (ii) the Utilization Fee. The

applicable percentage referred to in clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be determined based upon the Ratings, as follows:

     The Applicable Margin shall change effective as of the date on which the applicable rating agency announces any change in its Ratings. In the event either S&P or Moody’s shall withdraw or suspend its Ratings, the remaining Rating announced by either S&P or Moody’s, as the case may be, shall apply. In the event neither agency shall provide a Rating, the Applicable Margin shall be based on the lowest rating provided above. If the Ratings by S&P and Moody’s are split so that two consecutive Levels (as defined in the table above) apply, the higher of those Ratings shall determine the Applicable Margin. If the Ratings by S&P and Moody’s are split so that the applicable Levels in the table above are separated by only one intermediate Level, then such intermediate Level shall determine the Applicable Margin. If the Ratings by S&P and Moody’s are split so that the applicable Levels in the table above are separated by two intermediate Levels, then the intermediate Level representing one Level higher than the lowest Rating shall determine the Applicable Margin. The Applicable Margin shall be calculated by the Administrative Agent, which calculation absent manifest error shall be final and binding on all parties.

     (e) As used herein, “ Utilization Fee ” shall mean (i) with respect to any date on which the sum of (A) the Aggregate Credit Exposure plus (B) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Competitive Loans is equal to or exceeds 50% of the Total Commitment, the applicable percentage specified in the table below (the “ Applicable Utilization Fee Percentage ”), to be determined based upon the Ratings received by Weyerhaeuser from S&P and Moody’s, and (ii) at all other times, 0.000%. The applicable percentage referred to in clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be determined based upon the Ratings, as follows:

     The Applicable Utilization Fee Percentage shall change effective as of the date on which the applicable rating agency announces any change in its Ratings. In the event either S&P or Moody’s shall withdraw or suspend its Ratings, the remaining Rating announced by either S&P or Moody’s, as the case may be, shall apply. In the event neither agency shall provide a Rating, the Applicable Utilization Fee Percentage shall be based on the lowest rating provided

above. If the Ratings by S&P and Moody’s are split so that two consecutive Levels (as defined in the table above) apply, the higher of those Ratings shall determine the Applicable Utilization Fee Percentage. If the Ratings by S&P and Moody’s are split so that the applicable Levels in the table above are separated by only one intermediate Level, then such intermediate Level shall determine the Applicable Utilization Fee Percentage. If the Ratings by S&P and Moody’s are split so that the applicable Levels in the table above are separated by two intermediate Levels, then the intermediate Level representing one Level higher than the lowest Rating shall determine the Applicable Utilization Fee Percentage. The Applicable Utilization Fee Percentage shall be calculated by the Administrative Agent, which calculation absent manifest error shall be final and binding on all parties.

     (f) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each Fixed Rate Borrowing will bear interest at the Fixed Rate applicable to such Loans.

     Section 2.07   Default Interest . If a Borrower shall default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of its Loans or any other amount becoming due hereunder (other than any L/C Disbursement that has been made by a Fronting Bank and not yet due pursuant to the terms of Section 2.20(e)), whether by scheduled maturity, notice of prepayment, acceleration or otherwise, such Borrower shall on demand from time to time by the Administrative Agent pay interest, to the extent permitted by law, on such defaulted amount up to (but not including) the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable thereto at maturity or due date plus 2%.

     Section 2.08   Alternate Rate of Interest . In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Eurodollar Competitive Loan, the Lender that is required to make such Loan) shall have determined in good faith that dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Eurodollar Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market, or that the rates at which such dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Required Lenders (or, in the case of a Eurodollar Competitive Loan, the Lender that is required to make such Loan) of making or maintaining their Eurodollar Loans during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Eurodollar Competitive Loan, the Lender that is required to make such Loan) shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written notice of such determination to the Borrowers and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any request by the Borrowers for a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02 shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Borrowing, (ii) any request by the Borrowers for a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 shall be deemed to be a request for, respectively, a continuation as, or a conversion to, a Base Rate Borrowing, and (iii) any request for a Eurodollar Competitive Borrowing shall be ineffective; provided , that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice do not affect all Lenders, then requests for Eurodollar Competitive Borrowings may be made to Lenders that are not affected thereby. Each determination by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     Section 2.09   Termination and Reduction of Commitments . (a) The unused Commitments of each Lender shall be automatically terminated on the Termination Date.

     (b) Subject to Section 2.10(b), upon at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Total Commitment; provided , however , that (i) each partial reduction shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum principal amount of $25,000,000 and (ii) no such termination or reduction shall be made which would reduce the Total Commitment to an amount less than the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans and the aggregate L/C Exposure.

     (c) Subject to Section 2.18, each reduction in the Total Commitment hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction, the Facility Fees on the amount of the Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued through the date of such termination or reduction.

     Section 2.10   Prepayment . (a) Voluntary Prepayments . Except as provided in the next sentence below, each of the Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any of its respective Revolving Borrowings, in whole or in part, upon giving written notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written notice) to the Administrative Agent: (i) before 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days prior to prepayment, in the case of Eurodollar Loans and (ii) before 12:00 noon, New York City time, one Business Day prior to prepayment, in the case of Base Rate Loans; provided , however , that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $25,000,000. The Borrowers shall not have the right to prepay any Competitive Loan without the prior consent of the Lender thereof.

     (b)  Mandatory Prepayments . On the date of any termination or reduction of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.09, the Borrowers shall pay or prepay so much of their respective Borrowings as shall be necessary in order that the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding and the aggregate L/C Exposure does not exceed the Total Commitment, after giving effect to such termination or reduction.

     (c) Each notice of prepayment under paragraph (a) above shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the applicable Borrower to prepay such Borrowing (or portion thereof) by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein. All prepayments under this Section 2.10 shall be subject to Section 2.13 but otherwise without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this Section 2.10 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of payment.

     Section 2.11   Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances . (a) It is understood that the cost to each Lender (including the Administrative Agent, any Swing Line Bank and any Fronting Bank) of making or maintaining any of the Eurodollar Loans or Letters of Credit may fluctuate as a result of the applicability of reserve requirements imposed by the

Board at the ratios provided for in Regulation D. Each Borrower agrees to pay to each of such Lenders from time to time, as provided in paragraph (d) below, such amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender for the portion of the cost of making or maintaining Eurodollar Loans to such Borrower (or issuing Letters of Credit for the account of Weyerhaeuser) resulting from any such reserve requirements provided for in Regulation D as in effect on the date thereof, it being understood that the rates of interest applicable to Eurodollar Loans have been determined on the assumption that no such reserve requirements exist or will exist and that such rates do not reflect costs imposed on the Lenders in connection with such reserve requirements. It is agreed that for purposes of this paragraph (a) the Eurodollar Loans made hereunder shall be deemed to constitute Eurocurrency Liabilities as defined in Regulation D and to be subject to the reserve requirements of Regulation D without the benefit of or credit for proration, exemptions or offsets which might otherwise be available to the Lenders from time to time under Regulation D.

     (b) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if after the date of this Agreement any change in applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) shall change the basis of taxation of any payments to any Lender (including the Administrative Agent, any Swing Line Bank and any Fronting Bank) of the principal of or interest on any Eurodollar Loan or Fixed Rate Loan made by such Lender, of any payments related to the Letters of Credit or any Fees or other amounts payable hereunder (other than changes in respect of taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Lender by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office or by any political subdivision or taxing authority therein), or shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by such Lender, or shall impose on such Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement, any Eurodollar Loan or Fixed Rate Loan made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit issued by any Fronting Bank hereunder, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or Fixed Rate Loan (or issuing any Letter of Credit) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect thereof by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs actually incurred or reduction actually suffered.

     (c) If after the date hereof any Lender (including the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Banks and any Fronting Bank) shall have determined that the general applicability of any law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted pursuant to or arising out of the July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards,” or the adoption after the date hereof of any other generally applicable law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any of the foregoing or in the interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any lending office of such Lender) or any Lender’s holding company with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the

rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Loans made by such Lender pursuant hereto (or the Letters of Credit issued hereunder) to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

     (d) A certificate of a Lender (including the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Banks and any Fronting Bank) setting forth a reasonably detailed explanation of such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender (or participating banks or other entities pursuant to Section 9.04) as specified in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay each Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after the receipt of the same.

     (e) Failure on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand compensation with respect to such period or any other period; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.11 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrowers of such increased costs or reductions in accordance with paragraph (d) above and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation thereof; provided further that, if the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

     (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.11, no Lender shall demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction referred to above if it shall not be the general policy or practice of such Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements, if any (it being understood that this sentence shall not in any way limit the discretion of any Lender to waive the right to demand such compensation in any given case).

     Section 2.12   Change in Legality . (a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein contained, if any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any governmental authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender (including the Administrative Agent, any Swing Line Bank and any Fronting Bank) to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrowers and to the Administrative Agent, such Lender may:

     (i) declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lender hereunder and any request by either Borrower for a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing or a conversion to or continuation of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall, as to such

Lender only, be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

     (ii) require that all outstanding Eurodollar Revolving Loans made by it be converted into Base Rate Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Revolving Loans shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Revolving Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Revolving Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the Base Rate Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Revolving Loans.

     (b) For purposes of this Section 2.12, a notice to a Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Revolving Loan, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Eurodollar Revolving Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by such Borrower.

     Section 2.13   Indemnity . Each Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense which such Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (a) any failure by such Borrower to fulfill on the date of any borrowing or any issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, (b) any failure by such Borrower to borrow or continue any Loan hereunder or to proceed with the issuance of a Letter of Credit hereunder after irrevocable notice of such borrowing, continuation or issuance has been given pursuant to Section 2.02, 2.03, 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21, as applicable, (c) any payment, prepayment or conversion of a Eurodollar Loan required by any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise made or deemed made to or by such Borrower on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto; provided that such Borrower shall not be required to indemnify a Lender pursuant to this clause (c) for any loss or expense to the extent any such loss or expense shall have been incurred pursuant to (i) Section 2.11, 2.12 or 2.17 or (ii) Section 2.10(a) more than six months prior to the date that the applicable Lender shall have notified such Borrower of its intention to claim compensation therefor, (d) any default in payment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Loan to such Borrower or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the due date thereof, whether by scheduled maturity, acceleration, irrevocable notice of prepayment or otherwise), (e) the failure of such Borrower to borrow any Competitive Loan after accepting the Competitive Bid to make such Loan, or (f) the occurrence of any Event of Default including, in each such case, any loss or reasonable expense sustained or incurred or to be sustained or incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain such Loan or any part thereof as a Eurodollar Loan. Such loss or reasonable expense shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining the funds for the Loan being paid, prepaid, converted or not borrowed (based, in the case of a Eurodollar Loan, on the Eurodollar Rate) for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment or conversion or failure to borrow to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period for such Loan which would have commenced on the date of such failure) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would be realized by such Lender in

reemploying the funds so paid, prepaid or converted or not borrowed for such period or Interest Period, as the case may be. A certificate of any Lender setting forth a reasonably detailed explanation of any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to such Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     Section 2.14   Pro Rata Treatment . Except in the case of any Competitive Borrowing or as required under Sections 2.12 or 2.18, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the Facility Fees, each reduction of the Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to a Borrowing of any Type, shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Revolving Loans). Each payment of interest of any Competitive Borrowing shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders participating in such Borrowing in accordance with the respective amounts of accrued and unpaid interest on their outstanding Competitive Loans comprising such Borrowing. For the purpose of determining the available Commitments of the Lenders at any time, each outstanding Competitive Borrowing shall be deemed to have utilized the Commitments of the Lenders (including those Lenders that have not made Loans as part of such Competitive Borrowing) pro rata in accordance with such respective Commitments. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount.

     Section 2.15   Sharing of Setoffs . Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against a Borrower, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loans (other than (i) Competitive Loans or (ii) pursuant to Sections 2.09, 2.11 and 2.12) as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans (other than Competitive Loans) shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans (other than Competitive Loans) of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans (other than Competitive Loans) of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans (other than Competitive Loans) and participations in the Loans held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans (other than Competitive Loans) then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans (other than Competitive Loans) prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans (other than Competitive Loans) outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided , however , that, if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.15 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. Each Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan (other than a Competitive Loan) deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of

banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by such Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan (other than a Competitive Loan) directly to such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

     Section 2.16   Payments . (a) The Borrowers shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts payable with respect to the Letters of Credit or otherwise) hereunder and under any other Loan Document without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the date when due in dollars to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York, in immediately available funds.

     (b) Whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other amounts payable with respect to the Letters of Credit or otherwise) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.

     Section 2.17   Taxes . (a) Any and all payments by a Borrower hereunder shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.16, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding any income, franchise, branch profits or similar tax imposed on or measured by the net income or net profits of the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Banks, any Fronting Bank or any Lender (or any transferee or assignee that acquires a Loan (any such entity a “ Transferee ”)) by the United States or any jurisdiction under the laws of which it is organized or doing business or any political subdivision thereof (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “ Taxes ”). If either Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to the Lenders (or any Transferee), the Swing Line Banks, any Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) such Lender (or Transferee), the Swing Line Banks, any Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

     (b) In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made by such Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of or performance under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or otherwise with respect to such Borrower’s role in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “ Other Taxes ”).

     (c) Each Borrower will indemnify each Lender (or Transferee), each Swing Line Bank, each Fronting Bank and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and

Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable by such Borrower under this Section 2.17) paid by such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing Line Bank, such Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority. Each Borrower shall also indemnify each Lender (or any Transferee), each Fronting Bank and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of taxes imposed on or measured by the net income or receipts of such Lender (or any Transferee), such Swing Line Bank, such Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, as such Lender (or Transferee), such Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent shall determine are payable in respect of amounts paid by such Borrower to or on behalf of such Lender (or any Transferee), such Swing Line Bank, such Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 2.17. Such indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date any Lender (or Transferee), the Swing Line Banks, any Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor. If any Lender (or Transferee), any Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent becomes entitled to a refund of Taxes or Other Taxes for which such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing Line Bank, such Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent has received payment from a Borrower hereunder, such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing Line Bank, such Fronting Bank or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall, at the expense of such Borrower, use its reasonable efforts (consistent with internal policy, and legal and regulatory restrictions) to obtain such refund. If a Lender (or Transferee), the Swing Line Banks, a Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent receives a refund or is entitled to claim a tax credit in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes for which such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing Line Bank, such Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent has received payment from a Borrower hereunder it shall promptly notify such Borrower of such refund or credit and shall, within 30 days after receipt of a request by such Borrower (or promptly upon receipt, if such Borrower has requested application for such refund or credit pursuant hereto), repay such refund or amount of credit to such Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing Line Bank, such Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, and without interest; provided that each Borrower, upon the request of such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing Line Bank, such Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent, agrees to return such refund or amount of credit (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing Line Bank, such Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent in the event such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing Line Bank, such Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund or such credit is denied or subsequently determined to be unavailable.

          (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes withheld by either Borrower in respect of any payment to any Lender (or Transferee), the Swing Line Banks, any Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent, such Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof to the proper Governmental Authority.

          (e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section 2.17 shall survive the payment in full of the principal of and interest on all Loans made hereunder.

          (f) Each Lender (or Transferee), each Swing Line Bank or each Fronting Bank, which is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement or, in the case of a Transferee, on the date on which it becomes a Lender and in the case of any Lender, any Swing Line Bank or any Fronting Bank, on or prior to the date such Lender, such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank changes its funding office, and from time to time thereafter as requested in writing by either Borrower (but only so long thereafter as such Lender, such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank remains lawfully able to do so), shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto, including Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI and any other certificate or statement of exemption required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-4(a) or 1.1441-6(c) or any subsequent version thereof, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank establishing that any payment under the Loan Documents is (i) not subject to withholding under the Code because such payment is effectively connected with the conduct by such Lender (or Transferee) or such Fronting Bank of a trade or business in the United States, or (ii) fully or partially exempt from United States tax under a provision of an applicable tax treaty, or (iii) not subject to withholding under the portfolio interest exception under Section 881(c) of the Code (and, if such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank delivers a Form W-8BEN claiming the benefits of exemption from United States withholding tax under Section 881(c), a certificate representing that such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of either Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to either Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code). Unless the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents reasonably satisfactory to them indicating that payments hereunder are not subject to United States withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, each applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall withhold taxes from such payments at the applicable statutory rate in the case of payments to or for any Lender (or Transferee), any Swing Line Bank or any Fronting Bank organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States. If a Lender (or Transferee), a Swing Line Bank or a Fronting Bank is unable to deliver one of these forms or if the forms provided by a Lender (or Transferee) or a Fronting Bank, at the time such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank, first becomes a party to this Agreement or at the time a Lender (or Transferee), a Swing Line Bank or a Fronting Bank, changes its funding office (other than at the request of a Borrower) indicate a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank, provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such appropriate forms; provided , however , that if at the effective date of a transfer pursuant to which a Lender (or Transferee), a Swing Line Bank or a Fronting Bank becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender (or Transferee), the Swing Line Banks or the Fronting Banks assignor was entitled to payments under Section 2.17(a) in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in

Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender (or Transferee), the Swing Line Banks or the Fronting Banks, assignee on such date.

          (g) The Borrowers shall not be required to pay any additional amounts to any Lender (or Transferee), the Swing Line Banks or any Fronting Bank in respect of United States withholding tax pursuant to paragraph (a) above for any period in respect of which the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank, to comply with the provisions of paragraph (f) above unless such failure results from (i) a change in applicable law, regulation or official interpretation thereof or (ii) an amendment, modification or revocation of any applicable tax treaty or a change in official position regarding the application or interpretation thereof, in each case after the Closing Date (and, in the case of a Transferee, after the date of assignment or transfer).

          (h) Any Lender (or Transferee), any Swing Line Bank or any Fronting Bank claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with internal policy, and legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document requested by the Borrowers or to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such additional amounts which may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable determination of such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank be materially disadvantageous to such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank or require the disclosure of information that such Lender (or Transferee), such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank reasonably considers to be confidential.

(a) If any Lender (including the Administrative Agent, any Swing Line Bank or any Fronting Bank) requests compensation under Section 2.11, or if it becomes unlawful for any Lender (including the Administrative Agent, any Swing Line Bank or any Fronting Bank) to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans under Section 2.12, or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, the Administrative Agent, any Swing Line Bank, any Fronting Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Fronting Bank pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender, the Administrative Agent, such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank shall, at the request of such Borrower, use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans or for the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, the Administrative Agent, such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank, as the case may be, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.11 or 2.17 or no longer make it unlawful for such Lender, the Administrative Agent, such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank, to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans under Section 2.12, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender, the Administrative Agent, such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender, the Administrative Agent, such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank, as the case may be. The Borrowers hereby agree, jointly and severally, to pay all

reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Banks or any Fronting Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.

          (b) If any Lender or any Fronting Bank requests compensation under Section 2.11, or if it becomes unlawful for any Lender, any Swing Line Bank or any Fronting Bank to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans under Section 2.12, or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, any Swing Line Bank any Fronting Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender, any Swing Line Bank or any Fronting Bank pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender, any Swing Line Bank or any Fronting Bank defaults in its obligation to fund Loans or issue Letters of Credit hereunder, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender, such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank and the Administrative Agent, (i) require such Lender, such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (other than any outstanding Competitive Loans held by it) to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (x) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (y) such assigning Lender, Swing Line Bank or Fronting Bank shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans (other than Competitive Loans), accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (z) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.11 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments or (ii) terminate the Commitment of such Lender upon notice given to such Lender within forty-five (45) days of receipt of the notice given by the Lender; provided that such notice shall be accompanied by prepayment in full of all Loans from such Lender, including accrued interest thereon and any breakage costs, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to such Lender, without extension, conversion or continuation. A Lender, a Swing Line Bank or a Fronting Bank shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation under clause (i) above or terminate its Commitment under clause (ii) above if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender, such Swing Line Bank or such Fronting Bank or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation or termination of Commitment cease to apply.
