     The Company, Shareholder, CTH LLC, Purchaser and Holdings are parties to the Agreement.

     The Company, Shareholder, CTH LLC, Purchaser and Holdings now wish to amend the Agreement
pursuant to Section 10.9 thereof.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties
hereto agree as follows:

     Section 1. Amendments.

          (a) The definition of “Agreement Date Salary Schedule” set forth in Section 1.1 of the
Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“Agreement Date Salary Schedule” shall mean a schedule of the base salaries in
effect as of the date hereof with respect to any Eligible Employee as of the date hereof as
set forth on Section 3.18(f) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

          (b) The definition of “Eligible Employee” set forth in Section 1.1 of the Agreement is
hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“Eligible Employee” shall mean any full time or permanent part-time employee of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries who is (a) either located at the Company’s home office
in San Rafael, California or the Company’s office[s] in Canada or who is a booth and
maintenance technician or a vice president, and who is (b) eligible to receive a payment or
benefit under the Severance Plan to be approved and adopted by the Company pursuant to
Section 6.17(a); provided that no LTIP

          (c) The definition of “Real Estate Broker” set forth in Section 1.1 of the Agreement
shall be amended to refer to Section 3.12(a)(xviii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule and to
delete any reference to Section 3.13(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. Except for the
foregoing change, the definition of “Real Estate Broker” shall not change.

          (d) The Parties have agreed to certain amendments and modifications to the form of Severance
Plan that was attached to the Agreement as Exhibit I. Accordingly, the form of Severance
Plan which the Shareholder shall cause the Company to adopt prior to Closing is attached hereto as
the revised Exhibit I to the Agreement.

          (e) Section 6.17(c) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as
follows:

     (c) At the Closing, Shareholder (and not CTH LLC, the Company or its Subsidiaries) shall
deposit in escrow an amount in cash equal to $2,722,928 (the “Severance Escrow Fund”), with
such institution acting as escrow agent as shall be acceptable to Shareholder and Purchaser and
which amount shall be held pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and an escrow agreement among
Shareholder, the Company, the escrow agent and Purchaser with respect to the Severance Escrow Fund.

          (f) Section 6.17(d) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as
follows:

(d) After the Closing and prior to the Severance Escrow Expiration Date, if any
Eligible Employee receives any payment under the Severance Plan adopted pursuant
to Section 6.17(a) during any calendar month, within fifteen (15) days
after the end of such calendar month, the Company shall deliver to the escrow
agent a statement signed by an officer of the Company or Purchaser stating (1)
that the Company has made a payment to an Eligible Employee pursuant to the
Severance Plan, (2) the severance payment amount for such Eligible Employee as set
forth on Exhibit P attached hereto1, (3) the aggregate amount
of any social security, medicare, unemployment or other payroll taxes payable by
the Company or its Subsidiaries with respect to the amount set forth in clause (2)
above, and (4) the aggregate amount paid or to be paid to such Eligible Employee
by the Company pursuant to the Severance Plan. Upon receipt of such statement,
the escrow agent shall deliver to the Company out of the Severance Escrow Fund, as
promptly as practicable, an amount equal to the sum of (i) the amount set forth in
clause (2) above plus (ii) the amount set forth in clause (3) above.

          (g) Section 7.2(i) of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following sentence after
the first sentence of the foregoing section:

 

			
	1	 	This will be identical to Exhibit C attached
to the Severance Plan.

2

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the “Capital Lease Obligations” and “Accrued Interest on
Capital Lease Obligations” set forth in Schedule 3.24 of the Company Disclosure
Schedule shall not be deemed to be Indebtedness to be paid off at the Closing by Purchaser
pursuant to this Section 7.2(i), and the provision by the Company to Purchaser of
payoff letters with respect to the “Capital Lease Obligations” and “Accrued Interest on
Capital Lease Obligations” shall not be a condition to the Closing.

          (h) Section 7.2(t) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as
follows:

     (t) CTH LLC Transactions. Prior to the Closing, (i) CTH LLC shall distribute all of
the Shares to Shareholder, (ii) after such distribution, CTH LLC shall dissolve and liquidate and
cease to exist, such that Shareholder shall, on the Closing Date and prior to the Closing, own all
of the Shares, and (iii) evidence of such transactions described in this Section 7.2(t)
shall be provided to Purchaser and Holdings.

          (i) Schedule 7.2(g) of the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule to the Agreement is hereby amended
and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

All services provided by the Company or its Subsidiaries to Syufy Enterprises, LP or its
Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) other than those that are the
subject of the Transition Services Agreement attached to the Purchase Agreement as Exhibit
F, including, without limitation, that certain Administration Agreement, dated as of April
31, 2000 between Syufy Enterprises and Century Theatres, Inc.

property: Salinas 7

     Section 2. No Other Changes. Except as expressly modified hereby, all terms,
conditions and provisions of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. This Amendment
shall be deemed to be and construed as part of the Agreement, and the Agreement shall be deemed to
be and be construed as part of this Amendment; provided, however, that in the event of any
inconsistency or conflict between the Agreement and this Amendment, the terms, conditions and
provisions of this Amendment shall govern and control.

SECTION 2. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS

          2.1 Term Loan Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Term Loan
Lenders severally agree to make term loans (each, a “Term Loan”) to the Borrower on the
Closing Date in an amount for each Term Loan Lender equal to the amount of the Term Loan Commitment
of such Lender. The Term Loans may from time to time be Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans, as
determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2
and 2.11.

          2.2 Procedure for Term Loan Borrowing. The Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent a Borrowing Notice (which Borrowing Notice must be received by the
Administrative Agent prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, at least one Business Day prior to
the anticipated Closing Date) requesting that the Term Loan Lenders make the Term Loans to be made
on the Closing Date. The Term Loans made on the Closing Date shall initially be Base Rate Loans,
and no Term Loan may be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Loan having an Interest Period
in excess of one
month prior to the date which is the earlier of (i) 60 days after the Closing Date and (ii)
the Syndication Date. Upon receipt of such Borrowing Notice the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Term Loan Lender thereof. Not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on
the Closing Date each Term Loan Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the
Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the Term Loan or Term Loans to be
made by such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall promptly make available to the Borrower the
aggregate of the amounts made

 

33

available to the Administrative Agent by the Term Loan Lenders, in
like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

          2.3 Repayment of Term Loans. (a) The Term Loan of each Term Loan Lender shall mature
in 28 consecutive quarterly installments, commencing on December 31, 2006, each of which shall be
in an amount equal to such Lender’s Term Loan Percentage multiplied by the percentage set
forth below opposite such installment of the aggregate Term Loans made on the Closing Date:

          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower shall repay all outstanding
Term Loans on August 1, 2012 if, on such date, the Indebtedness under the Senior Subordinated Notes
has not been refinanced with Indebtedness that matures no earlier than the

 

34

date which is six months
after the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date and that otherwise meets the requirements for a
refinancing permitted by Section 7.2(f) below.

          2.4 Revolving Credit Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
the Revolving Credit Lenders severally agree to make revolving credit loans (“Revolving Credit
Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period in an
aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding for each Revolving Credit Lender which, when
added to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Percentage of the L/C Obligations then outstanding does not
exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. During the Revolving Credit
Commitment Period the Borrower may use the Revolving Credit Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the
Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and
conditions hereof. The Revolving Credit Loans may from time to time be Eurodollar Loans or Base
Rate Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance
with Sections 2.5 and 2.11, provided that no Revolving Credit Loan shall be made as a
Eurodollar Loan after the day that is one month prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving
Loans made on the Closing Date shall not exceed $25,000,000.

          (b) The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans on the Revolving Credit
Termination Date.

          2.5 Procedure for Revolving Credit Borrowing. The Borrower may borrow under the
Revolving Credit Commitments on any Business Day during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period,
provided that the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Notice
(which Borrowing Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York
City time, (a) three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Eurodollar
Loans, or (b) one Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Base Rate
Loans). Any Revolving Credit Loans made on the Closing Date shall initially be Base Rate Loans.
Each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans under the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an
amount equal to (x) in the case of Base Rate Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $200,000 in
excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Revolving Credit Commitments are less than
$1,000,000, such lesser amount) and (y) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, $3,000,000 or a whole
multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Upon receipt of any such Borrowing Notice from the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender
thereof. Each Revolving Credit Lender will make its Revolving Credit Percentage of the amount
of each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans available to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Borrowing
Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such
borrowing will then be promptly made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent in like
funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

          2.6 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally
promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the appropriate Revolving Credit
Lender or Term Loan Lender, as the case may be, (i) the then unpaid principal amount of each
Revolving Credit Loan of such Revolving Credit Lender on the Revolving Credit

 

35

Termination Date (or
on such earlier date on which (x) principal payments are required by Section 2.8 or 2.10 or (y) the
Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8.1) and (ii) the principal amount of each Term
Loan of such Term Loan Lender in installments according to the amortization schedule set forth in
Section 2.3(a) (or on such earlier date on which (x) principal payments are required by Section
2.10 or 2.3(b) (y) the Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 8.1) which shall be applied
pursuant to Section 2.16. The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid
principal amount of the Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in
full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 2.13.

          (b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from
time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from
time to time under this Agreement.

          (c) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain the Register pursuant
to Section 10.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the
amount of each Loan made hereunder and any Note evidencing such Loan, the Type of such Loan and
each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and
payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the
amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each
Lender’s share thereof.

          (d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to
Section 2.6(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie
evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded;
provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to
maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the
obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by
such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          (e) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the
Borrower will promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower
evidencing any Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender,
substantially in the forms of Exhibit G-1 or G-2, respectively (a “Term Note” or

          “Revolving Credit Note”, respectively), with appropriate insertions as to date and
principal amount; provided, that delivery of Notes shall not be a condition precedent to
the occurrence of the Closing Date or the making of the Loans on the Closing Date.

          2.7 Commitment Fees, etc. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender a commitment fee (a “Commitment Fee”) for
the period from and including the Closing Date to the last day of the Revolving Credit Commitment
Period, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving
Credit Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in
arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Credit
Termination Date, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the date hereof.

 

36

          (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the
dates from time to time agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

          2.8 Termination or Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments. The Borrower shall have
the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate
the Revolving Credit Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the aggregate amount of the
Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving
Credit Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the
Revolving Credit Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit
would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount
equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Credit
Commitments then in effect.

          2.9 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay
the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (other than pursuant to Section 2.19),
upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days prior
thereto in the case of Eurodollar Loans and at least one Business Day prior thereto in the case of
Base Rate Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, whether such
prepayment is of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans, and whether such prepayment is of Eurodollar
Loans or Base Rate Loans; provided, that if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other
than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any
amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount
specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with
(except in the case of Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans) accrued interest to such
date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Term Loans and Revolving
Credit Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$200,000 in excess thereof.

          2.10 Mandatory Prepayments. (a) Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise
agree, if on any date the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Class
I Restricted Subsidiaries shall incur any Indebtedness (excluding any Indebtedness incurred in
accordance with Section 7.2), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be
applied on the date of such issuance or incurrence toward the prepayment of the Loans as set forth
in Section 2.10(e). The provisions of this Section do not constitute a consent to the incurrence
of any Indebtedness by the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries not permitted by Section 7.2.

          (b) Except as set forth in clause Section 2.10(c) below, unless the Required Prepayment
Lenders shall otherwise agree, if on any date Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower or any
of its Class I Restricted Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale, any
Sale and Leaseback Transaction or any Recovery Event then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be
delivered in respect thereof, on the date of receipt by Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the
Borrower or any of its Class I Restricted Subsidiaries of such Net Cash Proceeds, the Loans shall
be prepaid by an amount equal to the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds (excluding any amounts
subject to any such Reinvestment Notice), as set forth in

 

37

Section 2.10(e); provided, that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds that may be excluded from the
foregoing requirement pursuant to a Reinvestment Notice shall not exceed $250,000,000 in the
aggregate during the term of the Facilities and (ii) on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date the Loans
shall be prepaid by an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the
relevant Reinvestment Event, as set forth in Section 2.10(e). The provisions of this Section do
not constitute a consent to the consummation of any Disposition not permitted by Section 7.5 or any
Sale and Leaseback Transaction not permitted by Section 7.11.

          (c) Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, if on any date Holdings,
Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash
Proceeds from either (i) the sale of the Capital Stock of NCM Holdings or National CineMedia, LLC
or (ii) the payment of any NCM Recapitalization Dividend, then not later than 360 days after the
date of receipt by Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries of such Net Cash Proceeds, the Loans shall be prepaid by an amount equal to the amount
of such Net Cash Proceeds, as set forth in Section 2.10(e); provided that to the extent
that the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio for the period most recently ended prior to the
date of consummation of the relevant transaction described above in this Section 2.10(c), after
giving pro forma effect to such transaction and the application of the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom,
is less than 3.0 to 1.0, the percentage of Net Cash Proceeds required to be prepaid pursuant to
this Section 2.10(c) shall be 50%. The provisions of this Section do not constitute a consent to
the consummation of any Disposition not permitted by Section 7.5.

          (d) Unless the Required Prepayment Lenders shall otherwise agree, if, for any fiscal year of
the Borrower commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007 there shall be Excess Cash
Flow, the Borrower shall, on the relevant Excess Cash Flow Application Date, apply the ECF
Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow toward the prepayment of the Loans, if and to the extent that
such amount exceeds the amount of voluntary prepayments of the Term Loans made during such fiscal
year to the extent such voluntary prepayments are financed directly or indirectly with cash from
operations, and any such prepayment shall be applied as set forth in Section 2.10(e). Each such
prepayment shall be made on a date (an “Excess Cash Flow Application Date”) no later than
five days after the date on which the financial statements of the Borrower referred to in Section
6.1(a), for the fiscal year with respect to which such prepayment is made, are required to be
delivered to the Lenders.

          (e) Amounts to be applied as prepayments pursuant to this Section shall be applied,
first, to the prepayment of the Term Loans and second, to the prepayment of the
Revolving Credit Loans. Any such mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to
this Section 2.10 shall not result in a mandatory reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments.
Amounts prepaid in respect of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10 may not be reborrowed.

          2.11 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) Subject to Section 2.19, the Borrower
may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to Base Rate Loans by giving the
Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election. The
Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans by

 

38

giving the
Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election (which
notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no
Base Rate Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan (i) when any
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has, or the Majority
Facility Lenders have, determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions or
(ii) after the date that is one month prior to the final scheduled termination or maturity date of
such Facility. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
relevant Lender thereof.

          (b) The Borrower may elect to continue any Eurodollar Loan as such upon the expiration of the
then current Interest Period with respect thereto by giving irrevocable notice to the
Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period”
set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans,
provided that no Eurodollar Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such (i)
when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has, or the
Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have, determined in its or their sole
discretion not to permit such continuations or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the
final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility, and provided,
further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in
this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such
Loans shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring
Interest Period. Upon
receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender
thereof.

          2.12 Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions, continuations and optional
prepayments of Eurodollar Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and
be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate
principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to
$3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than 20 Eurodollar
Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

          2.13 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest
for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the
Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin in effect for such day.

          (b) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for each day on which it is outstanding at a rate
per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect for such day plus the Applicable Margin in
effect for such day.

          (c) (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation
shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such
overdue amount (to the extent legally permitted) shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is
equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant
to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% or (y) in the case of Reimbursement
Obligations, the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility
plus 2%, and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan

 

39

or Reimbursement
Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due
(whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the
relevant Facility plus 2% (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to
a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit
Facility plus 2%), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date
of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

          (d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that
interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on
demand.

          2.14 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest, fees and commissions payable
pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed,
except that, with respect to Base Rate Loans on which interest is calculated on the basis of the
Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case
may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as
practicable notify the Borrower and the
relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate
on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall
become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective.
The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders
of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

          (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the
absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver
to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining
any interest rate pursuant to Sections 2.13(a) and (b).

          2.15 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest
Period:

     (a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be
conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the
relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar
Rate for such Interest Period, or

     (b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility
Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be
determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such
Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected
Loans during such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the
relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar
Loans denominated in Dollars under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of

 

40

such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility
that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall
be continued as Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant
Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect
thereto, to Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no
further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall
the Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans.

          2.16 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the
Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee or Letter of
Credit fee, and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders, shall be made pro
rata according to the respective Term Loan Percentages or Revolving Credit Percentages, as
the case may be, of the relevant Lenders.

          (b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and
interest on the Term Loans shall be allocated among the Term Loan Lenders
holding such Term Loans pro rata based on the principal amount of such Term
Loans held by such Term Loan Lenders. The amount of each principal prepayment of the Terms Loans
shall be applied first, to the four immediately succeeding installments of such Term Loans
and, second, to the remaining installments of such Term Loans pro rata
based on the remaining outstanding principal amount of such installments. Amounts repaid or
prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

          (c) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and
interest on the Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata according to the
respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans then held by the Revolving
Credit Lenders. Each payment in respect of Reimbursement Obligations in respect of any Letter of
Credit shall be made to the Issuing Lender that issued such Letters of Credit.

          (d) The application of any payment of Loans under any Facility (including optional and
mandatory prepayments) shall be made, first, to Base Rate Loans under such Facility and,
second, to Eurodollar Loans under such Facility. Each payment of the Loans (except in the
case of Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans) shall be accompanied by accrued interest
to the date of such payment on the amount paid.

          (e) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on
account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and
shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Lenders, at the Payment Office, in Dollars
and in immediately available funds. Any payment made by the Borrower after 12:00 Noon, New York
City time, on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been on the next following Business Day.
The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in
like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans)
becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the
next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day
other than a Business Day, the maturity

 

 

 41

thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such
extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment
shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any
payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at
the then applicable rate during such extension.

          (f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to
a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such
borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent
may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If
such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing
Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with
interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period
until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A
certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing
under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share
of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three
Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover
such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the
relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower.

          (g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior
to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make
such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is
making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance
upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata
shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the
Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled
to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to
the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily
average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

          2.17 Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law
or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental
Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

          (i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to
this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Application or any Eurodollar Loan made by
it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in
respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.18 and
changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender);

 

42

          (ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other
liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit
by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not
otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or

          (iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which
such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar
Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable
hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender,
upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost
or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts
pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

          (b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement
of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by
such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding
capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made
subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s
or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect
of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have
achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or
such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to
be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such
reduction.

          (c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by
any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable
hereunder.

          (d) The Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any
amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of
such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances
giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six-month period shall be extended
to include the period of such retroactive effect. In addition, the Borrower shall not be required
to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for Eurocurrency Reserve
Requirements to the extent such compensation would duplicate compensation included in the
Eurodollar Rate pursuant to the definition thereof.

 

43

          2.18 Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free
and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future
income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings,
now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority,
excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on any
Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between such Agent or such Lender
and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision
or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from such
Agent’s or such Lender’s having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a
payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document). If any such non-excluded
taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded
Taxes”) or any Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Agent or
any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to such Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the
extent necessary to yield to such Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and
Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts
specified in this Agreement; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be
required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes
(i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d)
or (e) of this Section or (ii) that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable
to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that
such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional
amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph (a).

          (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with applicable law.

          (c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as
possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
relevant Agent or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt
received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded
Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the
Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower
shall indemnify the Agents and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that
may become payable by any Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in
this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all
other amounts payable hereunder.

          (d) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a citizen or resident of the United States of
America, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of
the United States of America (or any jurisdiction thereof), or any estate or trust that is subject
to federal income taxation regardless of the source of its income (a “Non-U.S. Lender”)
shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant,
to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either
U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender
claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code
with respect to payments of “portfolio interest” a statement substantially in the form of

 

44

Exhibit H
and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto properly completed and
duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S.
federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes
a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such
Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver
such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such
Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines
that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower
(or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose).
Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to
deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to
deliver.

          (e) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax
under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such
jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the
Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable
law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation
prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a
reduced rate, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and
deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or
submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender.

          2.19 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender
harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a)
default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar
Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after the Borrower has
given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a
prepayment or conversion of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest
Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if
any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so
borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such
failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of
a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date
of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein
(excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount
of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have
accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable
period with leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market. The Borrower shall not be required
to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than six months prior
to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation
therefor. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the
Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the

 

45

absence of manifest error. This covenant shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts
payable hereunder.

          2.20 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any
change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it
unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a)
the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such
and convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (b) such Lender’s
Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate
Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans
or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan
occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto,
the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section
2.19.

          2.21 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event
giving rise to the operation of Section 2.17, 2.18(a) or 2.20 with respect to such Lender, it will,
if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of
such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the
object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made
on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to
suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that
nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the
rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, 2.18(a) or 2.20.

          2.22 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. The Borrower shall be permitted
to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.17 or
2.18 or gives a notice of illegality pursuant to Section 2.20 or (b) defaults in its obligation to
make Loans hereunder, with a replacement lender; provided that (i) such replacement does
not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall
have taken no action under Section 2.21 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of
amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.18 or to eliminate the illegality referred to in such
notice of illegality given pursuant to Section 2.20, (iv) the replacement lender shall purchase, at
par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of
replacement, (v) the Borrower
shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.19 (as though Section 2.19 were
applicable) if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on
the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement lender, if not already a
Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender
shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6
(provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee
referred to therein), (viii) the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required
pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.18, as the case may be, in respect of any period prior to the date on
which such replacement shall be consummated, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to
be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall
have against the replaced Lender.

 

46

          2.23 Addition of Peso Subfacility. The Borrower has advised the Lenders that, after the
Closing Date, the Borrower and certain of the Revolving Credit Lenders or their Affiliates (in
their sole discretion) or other lenders selected by the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent (the “Peso Subfacility Lenders”) may wish to establish a subfacility
(the “Peso Subfacility”) whereby up to $25,000,000 of the Revolving Credit Commitments
would be made available by Peso Subfacility Lenders for revolving credit loans denominated and
funded in Pesos (“Peso Subfacility Loans”). Accordingly, at any time during the Revolving
Credit Commitment Period, the Borrower, the Peso Subfacility Lenders and the Administrative Agent
and, in the circumstances contemplated by paragraph (h) below only, all Revolving Credit Lenders
(in each case, without the consent of any other party hereto) may enter into amendments (or
amendments and restatements), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent, to this Agreement and the other relevant Loan Documents (the “Peso Subfacility
Amendments”) providing for the following:

     (a) The Peso Subfacility Amendments shall provide that each Peso Subfacility Lender
shall make available to the Borrower (or to a Subsidiary of the Borrower organized under the
laws of Mexico and designated by the Borrower) (any such Mexican Subsidiary or, as the case
may be, the Borrower, as the borrower under the Peso Subfacility, the “Peso Subfacility
Borrower”), a commitment (for each Peso Subfacility Lender, the “Peso Subfacility
Commitment” of such Peso Subfacility Lender) to make Peso Subfacility Loans during the
period specified in the Peso Subfacility Amendments (which period shall in any event end not
later than the Revolving Credit Termination Date) (the “Peso Subfacility Commitment
Period”) in an aggregate principal amount for all Peso Subfacility Lenders not exceeding
the equivalent in Pesos of $25,000,000. The Peso Subfacility Amendments shall provide that
all Peso Subfacility Loans will be payable no later than the last day of the Peso
Subfacility Commitment Period. The Peso Subfacility Amendments shall provide for such
interest rate basis or bases, applicable margins, and fees and other pricing terms
applicable to the Peso Subfacility and the Peso Subfacility Loans as shall be agreed upon by
the parties thereto.

     (b) The Peso Subfacility Amendments shall provide that the aggregate amount available
under the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Peso Subfacility, plus the
amount of any Third-Party Peso Loans, shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit
Commitments.

     (c) In the event that the Peso Subfacility Amendments provide that a Subsidiary of the
Borrower shall be the Peso Subfacility Borrower, the Peso Subfacility Amendments may provide
that the obligations of the Peso Subfacility Borrower in respect of the Peso Subfacility
Loans will be guaranteed by the Borrower and the Guarantors pursuant to the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement and such guarantees will be secured, equally and ratably with all other
Obligations, pursuant to all Security Documents, as applicable.

     (d) Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in paragraph (h) below, the
Peso Subfacility Amendments may provide that, in connection with the Peso Subfacility, the
Revolving Credit Lenders will purchase, ratably in accordance with the Revolving Credit
Commitments and Peso Subfacility Commitments, participating

 

47

interests in any such Peso
Subfacility Loan, pursuant to participation provisions substantially equivalent to those set
forth in Section 3 in respect of participating interests in Letters of Credit,
mutatis mutandis.

     (e) The Peso Subfacility Amendments may provide for the conversion to Dollars of any
amounts owing under the Peso Subfacility under such conditions and pursuant to such
conversion mechanisms as shall be set forth in the Peso Subfacility Amendments.

     (f) The Peso Subfacility Amendments may provide for amendments of such other provisions
of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, amendments providing for indemnities,
exchange rate fluctuation protection, tax gross-up provisions and other provisions in
respect of the Peso Subfacility) as the parties thereto shall reasonably determine to be
necessary or advisable to accomplish the purpose of establishing the Peso Subfacility and
causing the Peso Subfacility to be treated, to the extent practicable and applicable, as a
subfacility of the Revolving Credit Facility, benefiting from the protections of the Loan
Documents equally and ratably with, and in a manner otherwise equivalent to, the Revolving
Credit Facility.

     (g) The Peso Subfacility Amendments shall set forth, as conditions precedent to the
availability of credit under the Peso Subfacility, the delivery of such corporate records,
documents, evidence of corporate approvals, evidence of necessary consents and approvals of
Governmental Authorities and legal opinions as the parties thereto shall reasonably
determine to be necessary or advisable.

     (h) In the event that the Peso Subfacility Amendments provide for Revolving Credit
Lenders (other than the Peso Subfacility Lenders) to purchase participating interests in
amounts outstanding under the Peso Subfacility, each of the Revolving Credit Lenders shall
be a party to, or give its written consent to, the Peso Subfacility Amendments (it being
understood that each Revolving Credit Lender, in its sole discretion, may determine to
consent or withhold consent to becoming obligated to purchase participating interests in
amounts outstanding under the Peso Subfacility).

SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT

          3.1 L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender,
in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a),
agrees to issue letters of credit (the letters of credit issued on and after the Closing Date
pursuant to this Section 3, together with all Existing Letters of Credit, the “Letters of
Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the Revolving Credit
Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender;
provided, that no Issuing Lender shall issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect
to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (ii) the aggregate
amount of the Available Revolving Credit Commitments would be less than zero. Each Letter of
Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the
first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date which is five Business Days prior to the
Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term
may

 

48

provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend
beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above). All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed
to have been issued pursuant hereto and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and
governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

          (b) No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder
if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed
any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.

          3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. The Borrower may from time to time
request that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender at its
address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, with a copy to the Administrative
Agent, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents
and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may request. Upon receipt of any
Application, an Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and
other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its
customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby by issuing the
original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by
such Issuing Lender and the Borrower (but in no event shall any Issuing Lender be required to issue
any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor
and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto).
Promptly after issuance by an Issuing Lender of a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall
furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower. Each Issuing Lender shall promptly give
notice to the Administrative Agent of the issuance of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing
Lender (including the amount thereof). Upon the written request of any Revolving Credit Lender,
the Administrative Agent will, within three Business Days of such request, inform such Revolving
Credit Lender of the aggregate drawable amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding on the date of
such request.

          3.3 Fees and Other Charges. (a) The Borrower will pay a fee on the aggregate drawable
amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then
in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility, shared ratably
among the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Percentages
and payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date of such
Letters of Credit. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the relevant Issuing Lender for its own
account a fronting fee on the aggregate drawable amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued
by it at a rate per annum to be agreed upon by such Issuing Lender and the Borrower, payable
quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.

          (b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender
for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender
in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of
Credit.

          3.4 L/C Participations. (a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby
grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce each Issuing Lender to issue Letters of

 

49

Credit
hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and
purchases from each Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C
Participant’s own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving
Credit Percentage in each Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit
issued by such Issuing Lender hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender
thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Lender
that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for which such
Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender upon demand at such Issuing
Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving
Credit Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed.

          (b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to an Issuing Lender pursuant to
Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender
under any Letter of Credit is paid to such Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date
such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender on demand an amount
equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds
Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date
on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times (iii) a
fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the
denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant
pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to such Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant
within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall be
entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon
calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under
the Revolving Credit Facility. A certificate of such Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C
Participant with respect to any such amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error.

          (c) Whenever, at any time after an Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit
and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in
accordance with Section 3.4(a), such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of
Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Collateral applied
thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender
will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof;
provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing
Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return
to such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it.

          3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to reimburse each
Issuing Lender, on each date on which such Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower of the date and
amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit and paid by such Issuing Lender, for the
amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses
incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment (the amounts described in the
foregoing clauses (a) and (b) in respect of any drawing, collectively, the “Payment
Amount”). Each such payment by the Borrower of the Payment Amount shall be

 

50

made to such
Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein in lawful money of the United States of
America and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on each Payment Amount from
the date of the applicable drawing until payment in full at the rate set forth in (i) until the
second Business Day following the date of the applicable drawing, Section 2.13(b) and (ii)
thereafter, Section 2.13(c). Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an event of the
type described in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 8.1(f) shall have occurred and be continuing with
respect to the Borrower, in which case the procedures specified in Section 3.4 for funding by L/C
Participants shall apply) constitute a request by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for a
borrowing pursuant to Section 2.5 of Revolving Credit Loans as Base Rate Loans in the amount of
such drawing. The Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the first date on which a
borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans could be made, pursuant to Section 2.5, if the Administrative
Agent had received a notice of such borrowing at the time the Administrative Agent receives notice
from the relevant Issuing Lender of such drawing under such Letter of Credit.

          3.6 Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3 shall be
absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff,
counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against any Issuing
Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with
each Issuing Lender that such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s
Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the
validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents
shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or
among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which
such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any
beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for
any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or
advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or
omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender. The Borrower
agrees that any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter
of Credit issued by it or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross
negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards or care specified in the
Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not
result in any liability of such Issuing Lender to the Borrower.

          3.7 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any
Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and
amount thereof. The responsibility of the relevant Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection
with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, in addition to any payment
obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, shall be
limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of
Credit in connection with such presentment appear on their face to be in conformity with such
Letter of Credit.

          3.8 Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any
Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement or the Guarantee and

 

51

Collateral Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement or the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement,
as applicable, shall apply.

SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

          To induce the Agents and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and
issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings and the
Borrower hereby jointly and severally represent and warrant to each Agent and each Lender that:

          4.1 Financial Condition. (a) The (i) unaudited pro forma consolidated
balance sheet of the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2005 (the “Pro
Forma Balance Sheet”), and (ii) unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of
operations as at December 31, 2005, the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement
of operations as at the end of the most recent interim period for which unaudited financial
statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(c)(iii) and the unaudited pro
forma consolidated statement of operations as at the end of the twelve-month period ending
on the last day of such interim period (the statements described in this clause (ii) collectively,
the “Pro Forma Statements of Operations”), copies of which have
heretofore been furnished to each Lender, have been prepared giving effect (as if such events
had occurred (x) in the case of the Pro Forma Balance Sheet, on such date and (y) in the case of
the Pro Forma Statements of Operations, as of the first day of the applicable period) to (A) the
consummation of the Acquisition, (B) the Loans to be made on the Closing Date and the use of
proceeds thereof and (C) the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing. The
Pro Forma Balance Sheet and the Pro Forma Statements of Operations have been prepared based on the
best information available to the Parent as of the date of delivery thereof, and present fairly in
all material respects on a pro forma basis the estimated financial position of the
Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2005 and, in the case of the Pro Forma
Statements of Operations, as at the dates specified in clause (ii) above, assuming that the events
specified in the preceding sentence had actually occurred at such date.

(b) (i) The audited consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower and its
consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005 and the
related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal years
ended on such dates, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from
Deloitte & Touche LLP present fairly in all material respects the consolidated
financial condition of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such
dates respectively, and the consolidated results of its operations and its
consolidated cash flows for the respective fiscal years then ended.

     (ii) The audited restated consolidated balance sheets of the Target and its
consolidated Subsidiaries as at September 30, 2004 and September 29, 2005, and the
related restated consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal
years ended on such dates, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report
from Grant Thorton LLP, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated
financial condition of the Target and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at such dates
respectively, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated
cash flows for the respective fiscal years then ended.

 

52

     (iii) All such financial statements referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this
paragraph (b), including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared
in accordance with GAAP applied consistently to each consolidated group throughout
the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants
and disclosed therein). The Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower
and its Restricted Subsidiaries (including the Target and its Subsidiaries) do not
have any material Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities and liabilities for
taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments,
including, without limitation, any interest rate or foreign currency swap or
exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are
required to be but are not reflected in the most recent financial statements
referred to in this paragraph. During the period from December 31, 2005 to and
including the date hereof there has been no Disposition by the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries of any material part of its business or Property. During the
period from September 29, 2005 to and including the date hereof there has been no
Disposition by the Target or any of its Subsidiaries of any material part of its
business or Property.

          4.2 No Change. Since September 29, 2005 there has been no development or event that has
had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          4.3 Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate
Holdings, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the corporate
power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its Property, to lease the Property it
operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly
qualified as a foreign corporation and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where
its ownership, lease or operation of Property or the conduct of its business requires such
qualification except to the extent that the failure to do so could not, in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all
Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          4.4 Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the
corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents
to which it is a party, to consummate the Transactions (to the extent applicable) and, in the case
of the Borrower, to borrow hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate or other
action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a
party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the borrowings on the terms and conditions of
this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in
respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person (each, a “Filing”) is required
in connection with the Acquisition, the borrowings hereunder or the execution, delivery,
performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents,
except (i) Filings described in Schedule 4.4, which Filings have been obtained or made and
are in full force and effect, (ii) the Filings referred to in Section 4.19 and any other Filing
contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (iii) any antitrust Filings required
to be made to foreclose on the Collateral. Each Loan Document has been duly

 

53

executed and delivered
on behalf of each Loan Party that is a party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other
Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan
Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its
terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally
and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at
law).

          4.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder, the use of the
proceeds
thereof and the consummation of the Acquisition will not violate any Requirement of Law or any
material Contractual Obligation of the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of
any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or
any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents). No
Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          4.6 No Material Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.6, no litigation,
investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to
the knowledge of the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, or the Borrower, threatened by or
against the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or
against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan
Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) that could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          4.7 No Default. Neither the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower nor any
of its Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in
any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

          4.8 Ownership of Property; Liens. Each of the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings,
the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries has title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold
interest in, all its real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its
other Property except for such defects in title as could not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and none of such Property is subject to
any Lien except as permitted by Section 7.3.

          4.9 Intellectual Property. The Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower and
each of its Restricted Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property
necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted in all material respects. No
material claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of
any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property, nor does
the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings or the Borrower know of any valid basis for any such
claim, other than any such claim that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, the use of

 

54

Intellectual Property by
the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries does not
infringe on the rights of any Person.

          4.10 Taxes. Each of the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower and each of its
Restricted Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all Federal and other material tax returns
that are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or
on any assessments made against it or any of its Property and all other taxes, fees or other
charges imposed on it or any of its Property by any Governmental Authority, in each case prior to
delinquency (other than any the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have
been provided on the books of the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower or its
Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be); and no tax Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge
of the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings and the Borrower, no claim is being asserted, with
respect to any such tax, fee or other charge.

          4.11 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans will be used for
“purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted
terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any purpose that
violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board. If requested by any Lender or the
Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a
statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1
referred to in Regulation U.

          4.12 Labor Matters. There are no strikes or other labor disputes against the Parent,
Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pending or, to
the knowledge of the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings or the Borrower, threatened that
(individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Hours worked by and payments made to employees of the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the
Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act
(to the extent applicable) or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters
that (individually or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. All payments due from the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries on account of employee health and welfare insurance that (individually
or in the aggregate) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, if not paid,
have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate
Holdings, the Borrower or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary.

          4.13 ERISA. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.13, neither a material Reportable Event nor
an “accumulated funding deficiency” (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302
of ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation
is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan, and each Plan has complied in all material
respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. No termination of a Single Employer
Plan has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year
period. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single
Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last
annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made,

 

55

exceed
the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by a material amount.
Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal
from any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a
material liability under ERISA, and neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would
become subject to any material liability under ERISA if the Borrower or any such Commonly
Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date
most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. No such
Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent.

          4.14 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. No Loan Party is an “investment company”,
or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended. No Loan Party is subject to regulation under any Requirement of Law which
limits its ability to incur Indebtedness.

          4.15 Subsidiaries. (a) The Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 4.15(a) constitute all
the Subsidiaries of the Borrower as of the Closing Date. Schedule 4.15(a) sets forth as of
the Closing Date the name and jurisdiction of organization of each Subsidiary and, as to each
Subsidiary, the percentage of each class of Capital Stock owned by each Loan Party and whether such
Subsidiary is a Class I Restricted Subsidiary, Class II Restricted Subsidiary or an Unrestricted
Subsidiary and, in the case of each Class I Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Subsidiary is a
Wholly Owned Subsidiary and a Subsidiary Guarantor.

          (b) There are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights or other
agreements or commitments (other than stock options granted to employees or directors and
directors’ qualifying shares) of any nature relating to any Capital Stock of the Parent, Holdings,
Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary, except as disclosed on Schedule
4.15(b) or with respect to such Capital Stock owned by third parties.

          4.16 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Term Loans shall be used (i) to finance a
portion of the Acquisition, (ii) for the repayment in full of the loans outstanding under the
Existing Credit Agreement and the payment in full of any and all other amounts owing to the lenders
thereunder, (iii) for the repayment of existing Indebtedness of the Target and (iv) to pay fees and
expenses related to any of the foregoing. The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans and the
Letters of Credit shall be used for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business (it being understood that the proceeds of the
Revolving Credit Loans may not be used to finance any portion of the Acquisition).

          4.17 Environmental Matters. Other than exceptions to any of the following that could not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:

     (a) The Borrower and its Subsidiaries: (i) are, and within the period of all
applicable statutes of limitation have been, in compliance with all applicable Environmental
Laws; (ii) hold all Environmental Permits (each of which is in full force and effect)
required for any of their current operations at any property owned, leased, or

 

56

otherwise
operated by any of them; and (iii) are, and within the period of all applicable statutes of
limitation have been, in compliance with all of their Environmental Permits.

     (b) Materials of Environmental Concern are not present at, on, under, in, or about any
real property now or formerly owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, or at any other location (including, without limitation, any location to which
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has sent Materials of Environmental Concern for
re-use or recycling or for treatment, storage, or disposal) which could reasonably be
expected to (i) give rise to liability of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under any
applicable Environmental Law, or (ii) interfere with the Borrower’s or any of its
Subsidiaries’ continued operations, or (iii) impair the fair saleable value of any real
property owned or leased by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

     (c) There is no judicial, administrative, or arbitral proceeding (including any notice
of violation or alleged violation) under or relating to any Environmental Law to which the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is, or to the knowledge of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries will be, named as a party.

     (d) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written request
for information, or been notified that it is a potentially responsible party under or
relating to the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act or any similar Environmental Law, or with respect to any Materials of Environmental
Concern.

     (e) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered into or agreed to any
consent decree, order, or settlement or other agreement, or is subject to any judgment,
decree, or order or other agreement, in any judicial, administrative, arbitral, or other
forum for dispute resolution, relating to compliance with or liability under any
Environmental Law.

     (f) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has contractually assumed any
liabilities of another Person under any Environmental Law or with respect to any Material of
Environmental Concern.

          4.18 Accuracy of Information, etc. No statement or information contained in this
Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Confidential Information Memorandum or any other document,
certificate or statement furnished to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any of them, by or
on behalf of any Loan Party for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or
the other Loan Documents, contained as of the date such statement, information, document or
certificate was so furnished (or, in the case of the Confidential Information Memorandum, as of the
date of this Agreement), any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material
fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading. The
projections and pro forma financial information contained in the materials
referenced above are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of the
Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such financial
information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as

 

57

fact and that actual results
during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the projected
results set forth therein by a material amount. There is no fact known to any Loan Party that
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been expressly
disclosed herein, in the other Loan Documents, in the Confidential Information Memorandum or in any
other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Agents and the Lenders for use in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents.

          4.19 Security Documents. (a) The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is effective to
create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid
and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein. In the case of the Pledged
Stock, stock certificates representing such Pledged Stock have been delivered to the Administrative
Agent, and in the case of the other Collateral described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement,
financing statements in appropriate form have been filed in the offices specified on Schedule
4.19(a) and such other filings as are specified on Schedule 2 to the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement have been completed and the Liens created under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement
constitute fully perfected Liens in all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such
Collateral, as security for the Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement),
in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except Liens permitted by Section
7.3(a), (m), (s) and (u) and, in the case of Collateral other than Pledged Stock, other Liens
permitted by Section 7.3).

          (b) Each of the Mortgages is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable Lien on the Mortgaged Properties
described therein and proceeds thereof; and when the Mortgages are filed in the offices specified
on Schedule 4.19(b) (in the case of the Mortgages to be executed and delivered on the
Closing Date) or in the recording office designated by the Borrower (in the case of any Mortgage to
be executed and delivered pursuant to Section 6.9(b), Section 6.14 or Section 6.15), such Mortgage
shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest
of the Loan Parties in the Mortgaged Properties described therein and the proceeds thereof, as
security for the Obligations (as defined in the relevant Mortgage), in each case prior and superior
in right to any other Person (other than Persons holding Liens or other encumbrances or rights
permitted by the relevant Mortgage).

          4.20 Solvency. Each Loan Party is, and after giving effect to the Transactions and the incurrence of all
Indebtedness and obligations being incurred in connection herewith will be, Solvent.

          4.21 Senior Indebtedness. The Obligations constitute “Designated Senior Indebtedness” of
the Borrower under and as defined in the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture. In furtherance
thereof, and for avoidance of doubt, the Borrower hereby designates all “Indebtedness” (as defined
in the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture in existence on the date hereof) under this Agreement as
“Designated Senior Indebtedness” for purposes of the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture.

          4.22 Regulation H. No Mortgage encumbers improved real property which is located in an
area that has been identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development

 

58

as an area having
special flood hazards and in which flood insurance has been made available under the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968 (except any Mortgaged Properties as to which such flood insurance as required
by Regulation H has been obtained and is in full force and effect as required by this Agreement).

SECTION 5. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

          5.1 Conditions to Initial Extension of Credit. The agreement of each Lender to make the

expired without any non-consensual action (it being understood and agreed that
any consensual action in respect of any divestiture in excess of what is

and all such judgments or decrees shall not have been vacated, discharged, stayed or bonded
pending appeal within 30 days from the entry thereof; or

     (i) (i) Any of the Security Documents shall cease, for any reason (other than by reason

(ii) of paragraph (f) above with respect to the Borrower, automatically the Commitments shall
immediately terminate and the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts
owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all amounts
of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit
shall have presented the documents required thereunder) shall

 

96

immediately become due and payable,
and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default and such Event of Default is continuing, either
or both of the following actions may be taken: (i) with the consent of the Majority Revolving
Credit Facility Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Majority
Revolving Credit Facility Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower
declare the Revolving Credit Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Revolving Credit
Commitments shall immediately terminate; and (ii) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the
Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent
shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and
all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without
limitation, all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then
outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) to be due and
payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable. In the case of all
Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have occurred at the time
of an acceleration pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall at such time deposit in a cash
collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the aggregate then undrawn
and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall
be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit,
and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully
drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn
upon, all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other obligations of the
Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall have been paid in full, the balance, if
any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Borrower within ten Business Days of
such expiration (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto).

          8.2 Borrower’s Right to Cure. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
Section 8.1, in the event of any Event of Default under the covenant set forth in Section 7.1 and
until the expiration of the tenth day after the date on which financial statements are required to
be delivered with respect to the applicable fiscal quarter hereunder, the Parent may engage in any
Permitted Equity Issuance to the Permitted Investors and apply the amount of the Net Cash Proceeds
thereof to increase Consolidated EBITDA with respect to such applicable quarter; provided that such
Net Cash Proceeds applied to the cure right in this Section 8.2 (i) are actually received by the
Borrower and contributed to the common equity of the Borrower (including through capital
contribution of such Net Cash Proceeds directly or indirectly by the Parent to the Borrower) no
later than ten days after the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered with
respect to such fiscal quarter hereunder, (ii) do not increase the Applicable Amount or any other
item specified in this Agreement as being increased by the amount of any contributed equity, (iii)
are not deducted from Consolidated Senior Secured Debt in the determination of the
Consolidated Net Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and (iv) do not exceed the aggregate amount
necessary to cure such Event of Default under Section 7.1 for any applicable period. The parties
hereby acknowledge that this Section 8.2 may not be relied on for purposes of calculating any
financial ratios other than as applicable to Section 7.1 and shall not result in any adjustment to
any amounts other than the amount of the Consolidated EBITDA referred to in the immediately
preceding sentence.

 

97

          (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.2(a), (x) in each period of four fiscal
quarters, there shall be at least one fiscal quarter in which no cure set forth in Section 8.2(a)
is made and (y) in each period of eight fiscal quarters, there shall be at least four consecutive
fiscal quarters in which no cure set forth in Section 8.2(a) is made.

SECTION 9. THE AGENTS

          9.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Agents as the
agents of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each Lender
irrevocably authorizes each Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the
provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform
such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any
duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship
with any Lender, 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
any Agent.

          9.2 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to
advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible
for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable
care.

          9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent nor any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully
taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any
other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and
nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such
Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of
the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or
any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate,
report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under
or in
connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.
The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender 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 any Loan Party.

          9.4 Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate,
affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order 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, without

 

98

limitation, counsel to the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by
such Agent. The Agents may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all
purposes unless such Note shall have been transferred in accordance with Section 10.6 and all
actions required by such Section in connection with such transfer shall have been taken. Each
Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required
Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of
Lenders specified by this Agreement) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to
its satisfaction by such Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by
it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be
fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this
Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement), and
such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the
Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

          9.5 Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent shall have received
notice from a Lender, the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings or the Borrower referring to this
Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of
default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent shall receive such a notice, the
Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders or if such notice is from a Lender,
to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or
Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by
this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement);
provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such
directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem
advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

          9.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that
neither any of the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act
by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate
of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any
Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon
any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property,
financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and
made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also
represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, 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 investigation as it deems necessary to
inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other
documents expressly

 

99

required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder,
no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other
information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise),
prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into
the possession of such Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

          9.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such
(to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or any Guarantor and without limiting the obligation
of the Borrower or any Guarantor to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate
Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section
(or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated
and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure
Percentages immediately prior to such date), for, and to save each Agent harmless from and against,
any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including, without
limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any
of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under
or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the
payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable
decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence
or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and
all other amounts payable hereunder.

          9.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to,
accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though
such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to
any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and
powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as
though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its
individual capacity.

          9.9 Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon
ten days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as
Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders
shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall
(unless an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(f) with respect to the Borrower
shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the
rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall
mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former
Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated,
without any other or further act

          

 

100

or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of
the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted
appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is ten days following a retiring
Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall
nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties
of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a
successor agent as provided for above. The Syndication Agent may, at any time, by notice to the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent, resign as Syndication Agent hereunder, whereupon the duties,
rights, obligations and responsibilities of the Syndication Agent, if any, hereunder shall
automatically be assumed by, and inure to the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, without any
further act by the Syndication Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender. After any retiring
Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents.

          9.10 Authorization to Release Liens and Guarantees. The Administrative Agent is hereby
irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to effect any release of Liens or guarantee
obligations contemplated by Section 10.15.

          9.11 The Arrangers; the Syndication Agent; the Co-Documentation Agent. None of the
Arrangers, the Syndication Agent or the Co-Documentation Agents, in their respective capacities as
such, shall have any duties or responsibilities, or incur any liability, under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS

          10.1 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor any
terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the

Majority Revolving Credit Facility Lenders;

     (iv) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Majority Facility
Lenders with respect to any Facility without the written consent of all Lenders
under such Facility;

     (v) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9 or any other provision of
any Loan Document directly affecting the rights, obligations or duties of any Agent
without the consent of such Agent;

     (vi) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.16 without the consent
of each Lender directly affected thereby;

     (vii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3 without the consent of
the Issuing Lender;

     (viii) amend or modify Section 10.6 to add any additional consent requirements
necessary to effect any assignment or participation under such Section (other than
the consent of the Borrower) without the consent of each Lender;

     (ix) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.10 without the consent
of the Required Prepayment Lenders; or

     (x) amend Section 10.6(g) except in the manner set forth in the last sentence
thereof.

In addition to the amendments described above, and notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.1 to
the contrary, the Peso Subfacility Amendments may be effected in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.23.

          Any waiver, amendment, supplement or modification effected in accordance with this Section
10.1 shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the
Lenders, the Agents and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Loan
Parties, the Lenders and the Agents shall be restored to their former position and rights

 

102

hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to
be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or
Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. Any such waiver, amendment, supplement
or modification shall be effected by a written instrument signed by the parties required to sign
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section; provided, that delivery of an
executed signature page of any such instrument by facsimile transmission shall be effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.

          If the Required Lenders shall have approved any amendment which requires the consent of all of
the Lenders, the Borrower shall be permitted to replace any non-consenting Lender with another
lender, provided that, (i) the replacement lender shall purchase at par, all Loans and
other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (ii) the
Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.19 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to
such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating
thereto (as if such purchase constituted a prepayment of such Loans), (iii) such replacement
lender, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and,
with respect to the replacement of a Revolving Credit Lender, each Issuing Lender (such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld), (iv) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement
in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided
that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to
therein), (v) such replacement Lender shall consent to the proposed amendment and (vi) any such
replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender or of the replaced Lender against the
Borrower.

          For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended (or
amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent
and each Loan Party to each relevant Loan Document (x) to add one or more additional credit
facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding
thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof (collectively, the “Additional
Extensions of Credit”) to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents with the Term Loans and Revolving Extensions of Credit and the accrued interest and fees
in respect thereof and (y) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in
any determination of the Required Lenders, Required Prepayment Lenders, the Majority Facility
Lenders and Majority Revolving Facility Lenders; provided, however, that no such
amendment shall permit the Additional Extensions of Credit to share ratably with (except pursuant
to the Peso Subfacility Amendments) or with preference to the Loans in the application of mandatory
prepayments without the consent of the Required Prepayment Lenders (prior to giving effect to
clause (y)).

          10.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto
to be effective shall be in writing (including by telecopy), and, unless otherwise expressly
provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered, or three Business

          10.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on
the part of any Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the
other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and
privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and
privileges provided by law.

          10.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made
herein, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered
pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder.

          10.5 Payment of Expenses. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative
Agent and the Arrangers for all their reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the syndication of the Facilities (other than fees payable to syndicate members)
and the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification
to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection
herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements and other
charges of counsel to the Administrative Agent and the charges of Intralinks, (b) to pay or
reimburse each Lender and the Agents for all their out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, including, without
limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and disbursements
and other charges of in-house counsel) to each Lender and of counsel to the Agents, (c) to pay,
indemnify, or reimburse each Lender and the Agents for, and hold each Lender and the Agents
harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to,
or resulting from any delay caused by the Borrower in paying, Other Taxes, if any, which may be
payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or
consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment,
supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the
other Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, defend, indemnify or reimburse
each Lender, each Agent, their respective affiliates, and their respective officers, directors,
trustees, employees, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) for,
and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind
or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and
administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including,
without limitation, any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the
violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the
operations of the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or
any of the Properties and the fees and disbursements and other charges of legal counsel in
connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against the Borrower hereunder
(all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”),
provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with
respect to Indemnified Liabilities (i) to the extent

 

105

such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a
final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (ii) arising from claims asserted
by another Indemnitee against such Indemnitee. The Borrower shall have the right to undertake,
conduct and control through counsel of its own choosing (which counsel shall be acceptable to the
applicable Indemnitee acting reasonably), the conduct and settlement of claims with respect to the
related Indemnified Liabilities, and such Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Borrower in
connection therewith; provided that the Borrower shall permit such Indemnitee to
participate in such conduct and settlement through counsel chosen by such Indemnitee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its own counsel and
the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the Borrower’s cost and expense if
such Indemnitee reasonably
determines that (i) the Borrower’s counsel is not defending any claim or proceeding in a
manner reasonably acceptable to such Indemnitee or (ii) the interest of the Borrower and such
Indemnitee have become adverse in any such claim or cause of action, provided,
however, that in such event, the Borrower shall only be liable for the reasonable legal
expenses of one counsel for all such Indemnitees. If clause (ii) of the immediately preceding
sentence is applicable, at the option of the applicable Indemnitee, its attorneys shall control the
resolution of any such claim with respect to the related Indemnified Liabilities. The Borrower
shall not, without the prior written consent of each Indemnitee affected thereby, effect the
settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending
or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether
or not such Indemnitee is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such
settlement, compromise or judgment (a) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from
all liability arising out of such action or claim, (b) does not include a statement as to or an
admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnitee and (c) does
not require such Indemnitee to pay any form of consideration to any party or parties (including,
without limitation, the payment of money) in connection therewith. Without limiting the foregoing,
and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its
Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries so to waive, all
rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands,
penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature,
under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against
any Indemnitee until the date on which all Obligations (other than obligations in respect of any
Specified Hedge Agreement) have been paid in full, all Commitments have terminated or expired and
no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the
Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee for any environmental claims arising
from actions taken by such Indemnitee with respect to any Property after the exercise of remedies
by such Indemnitee with respect to such Property. All amounts due under this Section shall be
payable not later than 30 days after written demand therefor supported by customary documentation.
Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be submitted to General Counsel
(Telephone No. (972) 665-1000) (Fax No. (972) 665-1004), at the address of the Borrower set forth
in Section 10.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower
in a notice to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of
the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

          No Indemnitee or any of the other parties hereto shall be liable to any other party hereto for
any damages arising from the use by unauthorized Persons of information or other

 

106

materials sent
through electronic, telecommunications or other
information transmission systems that are
intercepted by such Persons or for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in
connection with the Facilities.

          10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower,
the Lenders, the Agents, all future holders of the Loans and their respective successors and
assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under
this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agents and each Lender.

          (b) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, in accordance with applicable law, at
any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (each, a
“Participant”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of
such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In
the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain
the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and
the Borrower and the Agents shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to
approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any
departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent
would require the consent of all Lenders pursuant to Section 10.1. The Borrower agrees that if
amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Loans are due or unpaid, or shall have been
declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each
Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right
of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the
same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender
under this Agreement, provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such
Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as
provided in Section 10.7(a) as fully as if such Participant were a Lender hereunder. The Borrower
and each Lender also agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections
2.17, 2.18 and 2.19 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding
from time to time as if such Participant were a Lender; provided that, in the case of
Section 2.18, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section, and
provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater
amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive
in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such
Participant had no such transfer occurred.

          (c) Any Lender (an “Assignor”) may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time and
from time to time assign to any Lender or any Affiliate or Related Fund thereof or, with the
consent of (i) the Administrative Agent and so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Borrower (which, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed) (provided that no such consent need be obtained with respect to any

 

107

assignment of
Term Loans, unless such assignment is to a Person that is a motion picture exhibitor or an
Affiliate or related entity of a motion picture exhibitor, in which case such assignment shall
require the consent of the Borrower), and (ii) in the case of any assignment of the Revolving
Credit Commitments, the Issuing Lenders (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), to an
additional bank, financial institution or other entity (an “Assignee”) all or any part of
its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance,
substantially in the form of Exhibit E, executed by such Assignee and such Assignor (and, where the
consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lenders is required pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, by the Borrower and such other Persons) and delivered to the
Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that no
such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender or any affiliate
or Related Fund thereof) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $5,000,000, in
the case of any assignment of Revolving Credit Commitments, and $1,000,000, in the case of any
assignment of Term Loans (other than in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests
under this Agreement), unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and,
after giving effect to such assignment, the assigning Lender (if it shall retain any Revolving
Credit Commitment or Loans) shall have Commitments and Loans aggregating at least $5,000,000, in
the case of Revolving Credit Commitments, and $1,000,000, in the case of the Term Loans. Any such
assignment need not be ratable as among the Facilities. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance
and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such
Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with Commitments
and/or Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in
such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto, except as to Sections 2.17, 2.18
and 10.5 in respect of the period prior to such effective date and Section 10.14). Notwithstanding
any provision of this Section, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment
that occurs at any time when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. For
purposes of the minimum assignment amounts set forth in this paragraph, multiple assignments to or
by two or more Related Funds shall be aggregated and for purposes of the minimum hold amounts, the
Commitments and Loans of Related Funds shall be aggregated.

          (d) The Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrower, maintain at its address
referred to in Section 10.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register
(the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the
Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower,
each Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the
owner of the Loans and any Notes evidencing such Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this
Agreement. Any assignment of any Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only
upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. Any assignment or
transfer of all or part of a Loan evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon
surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such Loan, accompanied
by a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance; thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate
principal amount shall be issued to the designated Assignee,

 

108

and the old Notes shall be returned by
the Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked “canceled.” The Register shall be available for
inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s
Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

          (e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assignor and an Assignee
(and, in any case where the consent of any other Person is required by Section 10.6(c), by each
such other Person) together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and
processing fee of $3,500 (treating multiple, simultaneous assignments by or to two or more Related
Funds as a single assignment) (except that no such registration and processing fee shall be payable
in connection with an assignment by or to a Lehman Entity), the
Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the
effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register
and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Borrower. On or prior to such effective
date, the Borrower, at its own expense, upon request, shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent (in exchange for the Revolving Credit Note and/or applicable Term Notes, as
the case may be, of the assigning Lender) a new Revolving Credit Note and/or applicable Term Notes,
as the case may be, to the order of such Assignee in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit
Commitment and/or applicable Term Loans, as the case may be, assumed or acquired by it pursuant to
such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the Assignor has retained a Revolving Credit Commitment
and/or Term Loans, as the case may be, upon request, a new Revolving Credit Note and/or Term Notes,
as the case may be, to the order of the Assignor in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit
Commitment and/or applicable Term Loans, as the case may be, retained by it hereunder. Such new
Note or Notes shall be dated the Closing Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Note or
Notes replaced thereby. In the event that the Administrative Agent has received a Revolving Credit
Note and/or a Term Note, as the case may be, from the assigning Lender, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly return to the Borrower such Note and/or Notes for cancellation.

          (f) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of
this Section concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that
such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests in Loans and Notes,
including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any
Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.

          (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting
Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such
in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower,
the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would
otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that
(i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC
elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the
Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a
Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent,
and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no
SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all
liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender).

 

109

In furtherance of the foregoing, each
party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that,
prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding
commercial paper or other indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other
Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or
liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.6(g), any SPC may (A) with notice to,
but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without
paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the
Granting Lender, or with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to any financial institutions providing
liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such
SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans, and (B) disclose on a confidential basis
any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or
provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC; provided
that non-public information with respect to the Borrower may be disclosed only with the Borrower’s
consent which will not be unreasonably withheld. This paragraph (g) may not be amended without the
written consent of the Required Lenders, the Borrower and any SPC with Loans outstanding at the
time of such proposed amendment.

          10.7 Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement provides for
payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if
any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of
the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or
involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section
8.1(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by
any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Obligations, such Benefitted Lender
shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each
such other Lender’s Obligations, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such
collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or
benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however,
that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such
Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned,
to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

          (b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall
have the right, without prior notice to the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings or the
Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings and
the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by
the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings or the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount
any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, but excluding
deposits held by the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings or the Borrower in a fiduciary
capacity for others), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any
currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at
any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch, agency or bank affiliate thereof to or for the
credit or the account of the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings or the Borrower, as the case
may be. Each Lender agrees promptly to

 

110

notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any
such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such
notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

          10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this
Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall
be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature
page of this Agreement or of a Lender Addendum by facsimile transmission shall be effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed
by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

          10.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement 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 hereof, and any such prohibition
or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision
in any other jurisdiction.

          10.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire
agreement of the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower, the Agents, the Arrangers
and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises,
undertakings, representations or warranties by the Arrangers, any Agent or any Lender relative to
the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan
Documents. This Agreement supersedes and terminates the commitment letter among the Borrower, the
Arrangers and the Administrative Agent (other than any provisions relating to obligations of the

     (b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and

proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an
inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

 

111

     (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by
mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of
mail), postage prepaid, to the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings or the Borrower, as
the case may be at its address set forth in Section 10.2 or at such other address of which
the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

     (d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in
any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction;
and

     (e) together with each Lender, each Agent and the Arrangers, waives, to the maximum
extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action
or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential
damages.

          10.13 Acknowledgments. Each of the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings and the Borrower
hereby acknowledges that:

     (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

     (b) neither the Arrangers, any Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with
or duty to the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings or the Borrower arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship
between the Arrangers, the Agents and the Lenders, on one hand, and the Parent, Holdings,
Intermediate Holdings and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith or
therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

     (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise
exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Arrangers, the Agents and
the Lenders or among the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings, the Borrower and the
Lenders.

          10.14 Confidentiality. Each of the Agents, the Lenders and the Arrangers agrees to keep
confidential all non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement
that is designated by such Loan Party as confidential; provided that nothing herein shall
prevent any Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the Arrangers, any
Agent, any other Lender or any affiliate of any thereof, (b) to any Participant or Assignee (each,
a “Transferee”) or prospective Transferee that has agreed to comply with the provisions of
this Section, (c) to any of its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other
professional advisors who will be advised of such confidentiality, (d) to any financial institution
that is a creditor of such Agent or Lender or a direct or indirect contractual counterparty of such
Agent or Lender in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long
as such creditor or contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual
counterparty has agreed to be bound by the provisions of this Section), (e) upon the request
or demand of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it, (f) in response
to any order
of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any

 

112

Requirement of Law, (g) in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (h) that has been
publicly disclosed other than in breach of this Section, (i) to the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that
requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings
issued with respect to such Lender or (j) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder
or under any other Loan Document; provided, however, with respect to clauses (e),
(f) and (g), each of the Agents and Lenders and the Arrangers agrees to give the Parent, Holdings,
Intermediate Holdings and Borrower prompt notice of any request for such confidential information
so as to permit the Parent, Holdings, Intermediate Holdings or the Borrower to seek a protective
order or similar remedy or cause such information to be accorded confidential treatment.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any party to this Agreement (and any employee,
representative, or other agent of any party to this Agreement) may disclose to any and all Persons,
without limitation of any kind, the structure and tax aspects of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) related to
such structure and tax aspects. Further, each party hereto acknowledges that it has no proprietary
rights to any tax matter or tax idea related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

          10.15 Release of Collateral and Guarantee Obligations.

     (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan
Document, upon request of the Borrower in connection with any Disposition of Property
permitted by the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote
or consent of, any Lender, any Agent or any Qualified Counterparty) take such actions as
shall be required to release its security interest in any Collateral being Disposed of in
such Disposition, and to release any guarantee obligations under any Loan Document of any
Person being Disposed of in such Disposition, to the extent necessary to permit consummation
of such Disposition in accordance with the Loan Documents.

     (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
the Borrower may request, and the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or
consent of, any Lender, any Agent or any Qualified Counterparty) grant, a release of any
specific parcel of real property Collateral if (i) (A) such release is in connection with a
grant by the Borrower or a Guarantor of additional real property Collateral of similar or
greater value (valued in accordance with Schedule 6.9; such value to be demonstrated
to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent) and (B) immediately after giving
effect to such Collateral substitution, no Default or Event of Default (including, without
limitation, under Section 6.13) shall have occurred and be continuing or (ii) such parcel
represents an adjacent parcel of real property not necessary in the business of the Borrower
or any Class I Restricted Subsidiary which has been separated from another parcel of real
property of the Borrower or a Class I Restricted Subsidiary by means of subdivision and
replatting.

     (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan
Document, when all Obligations (other than obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge
Agreement) have been paid in full, all Commitments have terminated or expired

 

113

and no Letter
of Credit shall be outstanding, upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall
(without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender, any Agent, or any Person that is a
party to any Specified Hedge Agreement) take such actions as shall be required to release
its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all guarantee obligations under any
Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding
Obligations in respect of Specified Hedge Agreements. Any such release of guarantee
obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall
be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations
guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any
Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or
conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any
substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been
made.

          10.16 Accounting Changes. In the event that any “Accounting Change” (as defined below)
shall occur and such change results in a change in the method of calculation of financial
covenants, standards or terms in this Agreement, then the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to
equitably reflect such Accounting Change with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating
the Borrower’s financial condition shall be the same after such Accounting Change as if such
Accounting Change had not been made. Until such time as such an amendment shall have been executed
and delivered by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, all financial
covenants, standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated or construed as if
such Accounting Change had not occurred. “Accounting Change” refers to any change in
accounting principles required by the promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or
opinion by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants (including the Emerging Issues Task Force thereof) or, if applicable, the SEC or in the
interpretation or application thereof by independent certified public accountants of nationally
recognized standing.

          10.17 Delivery of Lender Addenda. Each initial Lender shall become a party to this
Agreement by delivering to the Administrative Agent a Lender Addendum duly executed by such Lender,
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

          10.18 WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY
WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR
PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM

delivered by their proper and duly authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
