established by the Administrative Agent as its “prime rate” or, if the Administrative Agent
ceases to announce a rate so designated, any similar successor rate designated by the
Administrative Agent, such rate being one of the Administrative Agent’s base rates and

thereof or conversion thereto.

all the Lenders making Loans of that Tranche, or from the Swingline Lender in the case of

expenditures made in connection with the replacement or restoration of assets to the extent
financed (i) from insurance proceeds paid on account of the loss of or damage to the assets
being replaced or restored, or (ii) with proceeds from the sale or other disposition of an
asset which is replaced within 180 days from such sale or other disposition with another

Lenders’ Commitments pursuant to Section 11.2), provided that (i) all interest
payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the
date as of which the respective participation is required to be purchased and, to the extent
attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to the participant from and
after such date and (ii) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this
sentence is actually made, the purchasing Revolving Lender shall be required to pay the
Swingline Lender interest on the principal amount of participation purchased

for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would
otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the
overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the rate otherwise applicable
to Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans hereunder for each day thereafter.

            Section 2.5 Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing. The aggregate principal amount of each
Borrowing of Loans under a Tranche shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable
to such Tranche. More than one Borrowing may occur on the same date, but at no time shall there be
outstanding more than ten Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans in the aggregate.

            Section 2.6 Notice of Borrowing.

     (a) Eurodollar Loans and Base Rate Loans. Whenever the Borrower desires to incur (x)
Eurodollar Loans hereunder, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice
Office at least three Business Days prior notice of each Eurodollar Loan to be incurred
hereunder and (y) Base Rate Loans hereunder (excluding Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans
made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing), the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at
the Notice Office at least one Business Day’s prior notice of each Base Rate Loan to be
incurred hereunder, provided that (in each case) any such notice shall be deemed to have
been given on a certain day only if given before 10:00 A.M. on such day. Each such notice
(each a “Notice of Borrowing”), except as otherwise expressly provided in
Section 2.13, shall be irrevocable and shall be given by the Borrower in writing, by
telephone or by other means acceptable to the Administrative Agent, promptly confirmed in
writing, in the form of Exhibit A, appropriately completed to specify the aggregate
principal amount of the Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing, the date of such
Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), whether the Loans being incurred pursuant to such
Borrowing shall constitute Term Loans or Revolving Loans and whether the Loans being
incurred pursuant to such Borrowing are to be initially maintained as Base Rate Loans or, to
the extent permitted hereunder, Eurodollar Loans and, if Eurodollar Loans, the initial
Interest Period to be applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each
Lender which is required to make Loans of the Tranche specified in the respective Notice of
Borrowing, notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof
and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in
the Notice of Borrowing.

     (b) Swingline Loans.

     (i) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Swingline Loans hereunder, the
Borrower shall give the Swingline Lender no later than 12:00 Noon on the date that a
Swingline Loan is to be incurred, written notice or telephonic notice promptly
confirmed in writing of each Swingline Loan to be incurred hereunder. Each such
notice shall be irrevocable and specify in each

infoUSA Credit Agreement

-29-

 

case (A) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (B) the
aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans to be incurred pursuant to such
Borrowing.

     (ii) Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in
Section 2.4(d), with the Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of
any Swingline Loan, to the making of the Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in
Section 2.4(d).

     (c) Telephonic Notice. Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to
confirm in writing any telephonic notice of any Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, the
Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, may act without liability
upon the basis of telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment, as the case may be,
believed by the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, in good
faith to be from the Chairman of the Board, the President, the Chief Financial Officer, the
Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the Borrower, or from any other authorized officer
of the Borrower designated in writing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent as being
authorized to give such notices, prior to receipt of written confirmation. In each such
case, the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s or
Swingline Lender’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice of such Borrowing or
prepayment of Loans, as the case may be, absent manifest error.

            Section 2.7 Disbursement of Funds.

     (a) Time of Disbursement by Lenders to Administrative Agent. No later than 11:00 A.M.
on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing (or (x) in the case of Swingline Loans, no
later than 2:00 P.M. on the date specified pursuant to Section 2.6(b)(i) or (y) in
the case of Mandatory Borrowings, no later than 12:00 Noon on the date specified in
Section 2.4(d)), each Lender with a Commitment of the applicable Tranche will make
available its pro rata portion (determined in accordance with Section 2.10) of each
such Borrowing requested to be made on such date (or in the case of Swingline Loans, the
Swingline Lender will make available the full amount thereof). All such amounts will be
made available in Dollars and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, and the
Administrative Agent will, except in the case of Revolving Loans made pursuant to a
Mandatory Borrowing, make available to the Borrower at the Payment Office the aggregate of
the amounts so made available by the Lenders.

     (b) Assumptions regarding Funding by Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall
have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not
intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing
to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available
to the Borrower a corresponding amount.

infoUSA Credit Agreement

-30-

 

     (c) Remedies if Lender does not Fund. If a Lender fails to make available to the
Administrative Agent any amount it is required to fund, the Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender
does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand
therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall
immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent also shall be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the Borrower, as the
case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such
corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower until
the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per
annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the
first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Loans for each day
thereafter and (ii) if recovered from the Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to the
respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 2.11. Nothing in this
Section 2.7 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Loans
hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a
result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder.

            Section 2.8 Notes.

     (a) Promissory Notes Optional. The Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and
interest on, the Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced in the Register maintained by
the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.16 and shall, if requested by such
Lender, also be evidenced (i) if Term Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and
delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B, with blanks

blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each a “Revolving Note” and,
collectively, the “Revolving Notes”) and (iii) if Swingline Loans, by a promissory
note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit
D, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (the “Swingline
Note”).

     (b) Term Notes. The Term Note issued to any Term Lender shall (i) be executed by the
Borrower, (ii) be payable to such Lender or its registered assigns and be dated the Closing
Date (or, if issued after the Closing Date, be dated the date of issuance thereof), (iii) be
in a stated principal amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan of
such Lender and be payable in the outstanding principal amount of such Term Loan, (iv)
mature on the Term Loan Maturity Date,

prepayment as provided in Section 5.1, and mandatory repayment as provided in
Section 5.2, and (vii) be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents.

     (c) Revolving Notes. The Revolving Note issued to any Revolving Lender shall (i) be
executed by the Borrower, (ii) be payable to such Revolving Lender or its registered assigns
and be dated the Closing Date (or, if issued after the Closing Date, be dated the date of
the issuance thereof), (iii) be in a stated principal amount equal to the Revolving Facility
Amount of such Revolving Lender (or, if issued after the termination thereof, be in a stated
principal amount equal to the outstanding Revolving Loans of such Revolving Lender at such
time) and be payable in the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans evidenced
thereby, (iv) mature on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, (v) bear interest as provided in
Section 2.11 in respect of the Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans, as the case may
be, evidenced thereby, (vi) be subject to voluntary prepayment as provided in Section
5.1, and mandatory repayment as provided in Section 5.2, and (vii) be entitled
to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

     (d) Swingline Note. The Swingline Note issued to the Swingline Lender shall (i) be
executed by the Borrower, (ii) be payable to the Swingline Lender or its registered assigns
and be dated the Closing Date, (iii) be in a stated principal amount equal to the Maximum
Swingline Amount and be payable in the outstanding principal amount of the Swingline Loans
evidenced thereby from time to time, (iv) mature on the Swingline Expiry Date, (v) bear
interest as provided in Section 2.11 in respect of the Base Rate Loans evidenced
thereby, (vi) be subject to voluntary prepayment as provided in Section 5.1, and

benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

     (e) Records of Amounts of Loans. Each Lender will note on its internal records the
amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and will prior to any
transfer of any of its Notes endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal
amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation or any error in such
notation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans.

            Section 2.9 Conversions.

     (a) Option to Convert. The Borrower shall have the option to convert on any Business
Day all or a portion equal to at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount of the outstanding
principal amount of Loans (other than Swingline Loans which may not be converted pursuant to
this Section 2.9) made pursuant to one or more Borrowings (so long as of the same
Tranche) of one or more Types of Loans into a Borrowing (of the same Tranche) of another
Type of Loan, provided that,

infoUSA Credit Agreement

-32-

 

     (i) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.13(b), Eurodollar Loans
may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period
applicable to the Loans being converted and no such partial conversion of Eurodollar
Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of such Eurodollar Loans made
pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable
thereto,

     (ii) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, Base Rate Loans may only be
converted into Eurodollar Loans if no Default or Event of Default is in existence on
the date of the conversion, and

     (iii) no conversion pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall result in a
greater number of Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans than is permitted under Section
2.5.

     (b) Notice of Conversion. Each such conversion shall be effected by the Borrower giving
the Administrative Agent, at the Notice Office prior to 10:00 A.M. at least three Business
Days prior notice (each a “Notice of Conversion”) specifying the Loans to be so
converted, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Loans were made and, if to be
converted into Eurodollar Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto.
The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed
conversion affecting any of its Loans.

            Section 2.10 Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of Term Loans and Revolving Loans
shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Term Loan Facility Amounts or
Revolving Facility Amounts, as the case may be. It is understood that no Lender shall be
responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that
each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of
the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.

            Section 2.11 Interest.

     (a) Base Rate. The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal
amount of each Base Rate Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i)
the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such
Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 2.9 or 2.12, as
applicable, at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin
plus the Base Rate each as in effect from time to time.

     (b) Eurodollar Rate. The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid
principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the
earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the
conversion of such Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.9,
2.12 or 2.13, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall, during each
Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the
Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period.

infoUSA Credit Agreement

-33-

 

     (c) Default Rate. While an Event of Default exists, the rate otherwise applicable to
any Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) per annum in
excess of the rate otherwise in effect to such Loan, and all other overdue amounts payable
hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal
to the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate applicable to Revolving Loans maintained as
Base Rate Loans from time to time. Interest which accrues under this Section
2.11(c) shall be payable on demand.

     (d) When Interest Due and Payable. Except as set forth in subsection (c),
accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate
Loan, quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, (ii) in respect of each
Eurodollar Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case
of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month
intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, and (iii) in respect of each Loan, on
any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at maturity (whether by
acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand; provided,
however, that in the case of Base Rate Loans, interest shall not be payable pursuant
to preceding clause (iii) at the time of any repayment or prepayment thereof (but shall
otherwise be payable as provided in preceding clause (i)) unless the respective repayment or
prepayment is made either in conjunction with a permanent reduction of the Total Revolving
Facility Amount or with a repayment or prepayment in full of all outstanding Loans of the
respective Tranche.

     (e) Determination of Eurodollar Rate. Upon each Interest Determination Date, the
Administrative Agent shall determine the Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period applicable
to the respective Eurodollar Loans and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders
thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and
binding on all parties hereto.

            Section 2.12 Interest Periods. At the time the Borrower gives any Notice of Borrowing
or Notice of Conversion in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any Eurodollar Loan (in
the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 10:00 A.M. on the third
Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan (in
the case of any subsequent Interest Period), the Borrower shall have the right to elect, by giving
the Administrative Agent notice thereof, the interest period (each an “Interest Period”)
applicable to such Eurodollar Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be
a one, two, three or six month period, provided that (in each case):

     (a) all Eurodollar Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same
Interest Period;

     (b) the initial Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan shall commence on the date of
Borrowing of such Eurodollar Loan (including the date of any conversion thereto from a Base
Rate Loan) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in
respect of such Eurodollar Loan shall commence on the day on which the next preceding
Interest Period applicable thereto expires;

infoUSA Credit Agreement

-34-

 

     (c) if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan begins on a day for which there is no
numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such
Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

     (d) if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan would otherwise expire on a day which
is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business
Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan
would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after
which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the
next preceding Business Day;

     (e) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, no Interest Period may be selected at
any time when a Default or an Event of Default is then in existence;

     (f) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of any Tranche of Loans shall be
selected which extends beyond the Maturity Date for such Tranche of Loans; and

     (g) no Interest Period in respect of any Term Loan shall be selected which extends
beyond any date upon which a mandatory repayment of the Term Loans will be required to be
made under Section 5.2(a), if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans having
Interest Periods expiring after such date will be in excess of the aggregate principal
amount of the Term Loans then outstanding less the aggregate amount of such required
repayment.

If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, the
Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable
to such Eurodollar Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert
such Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current
Interest Period.

            Section 2.13 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.

     (a) Determination of Changed Circumstances. If any Lender shall have determined (which
determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all
parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by the
Administrative Agent):

     (i) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising
after the date of this Agreement affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate
and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of
Eurodollar Rate; or

infoUSA Credit Agreement

-35-

 

     (ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in
the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Eurodollar Loan
because of (A) any change since the date of this Agreement in any applicable law or
governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having
the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including
the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline
or request, such as, for example, but not limited to: (1) a change in the basis of
taxation of payment to any Lender of the principal of or interest on the Loans or
the Notes or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for changes in the rate of
tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or profits of such Lender
pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or in which its
principal office or applicable lending office is located or any subdivision thereof
or therein) or (2) a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events,
excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the
computation of the Eurodollar Rate and/or (B) other circumstances arising since the
date of this Agreement affecting such Lender, the interbank Eurodollar market or the
position of such Lender in such market; or

     (iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has
been made (A) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, (B)
impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any governmental request
(whether or not having force of law) or (C) impracticable as a result of a
contingency occurring after the date of this Agreement which materially and
adversely affects the interbank Eurodollar market;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of
clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone promptly confirmed in
writing) to the Borrower and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to the
Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall
promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause
(i) above, Eurodollar Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the
Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving
rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing
or Notice of Conversion given by the Borrower with respect to Eurodollar Loans which have
not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by the
Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall, subject to Section
2.17, pay to such Lender, upon such Lender’s written request therefor, such additional
amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest
or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to
compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or
receivable hereunder (a written

infoUSA Credit Agreement

-36-

 

notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the
basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall, absent
manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto) and (z) in
the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in
Section 2.13(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period
required by law.

     (b) Consequences of Changed Circumstances. At any time that any Eurodollar Loan is
affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.13(a)(ii) or (iii), the
Borrower may (and in the case of a Eurodollar Loan affected by the circumstances described
in Section 2.13(a)(iii) shall) either (x) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then
being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel such Borrowing by giving the
Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that the
Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 2.13(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then
outstanding, upon at least three Business Days written notice to the Administrative Agent,
require the affected Lender to convert such Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan, provided
that, if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be
treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.13(b).

     (c) Rule Change Concerning Capital Adequacy. If any Lender determines that after the
date of this Agreement the introduction of or any change in any applicable law or
governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having
the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or
administration thereof by the NAIC or any governmental authority, central bank or comparable
agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence
of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the Borrower
shall, subject to Section 2.17, pay to such Lender, upon its written demand
therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such
other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the
reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such
increase of capital. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act
reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are
reasonable, provided that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this
Section 2.13(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on
all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be
payable pursuant to this Section 2.13(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to
the Borrower, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such
additional amounts.

infoUSA Credit Agreement

            Section 2.14 Compensation. The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon its
written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for
requesting such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including
any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or
other funds required by such Lender to fund its Eurodollar Loans but excluding loss of anticipated
profits) which such Lender may sustain or be deemed to have sustained: (i) if for any reason (other
than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or
into, Eurodollar Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or
Notice of Conversion (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to
Section 2.13(a)); (ii) if any repayment (including any repayment made pursuant to
Section 5.1, Section 5.2 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to
Section 11.2) or conversion of any of its Eurodollar Loans occurs on a date which is not
the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its
Eurodollar Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower;
(iv) as a consequence of (A) any other default by the Borrower to repay its Eurodollar Loans when
required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender or (B) any election made
pursuant to Section 2.13(b).

            Section 2.15 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that on the occurrence of
any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.13(a)(ii) or (iii), Section
2.13(c), Section 3.6 or Section 5.7 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 or Letters of Credit affected by such
event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office
suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence
of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.15
shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided
in Sections 2.13, 2.9 and 5.7.

            Section 2.16 Replacement of Lenders.

     (a) Cause for Replacement; Payout. If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or
otherwise defaults in its obligations to make Loans, or if, upon the occurrence of an event
giving rise to the operation of Section 2.13(a)(ii) or (iii), Section
2.13(c), Section 3.6 or Section 5.7 with respect to any Lender, such
Lender charges to the Borrower increased costs in excess of those being generally charged by
the other Lenders, the Borrower shall have the right, if no Default or Event of Default then
exists, to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other
Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such
replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of whom shall be
required to be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that:

     (i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.16, the
Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements
pursuant to Section 13.5(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said
Section 13.5(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender) pursuant to which the
Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments, Facility
Amounts and outstanding Loans of, and in each case participations in Letters of
Credit by, the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to:

infoUSA Credit Agreement

-38-

 

     (A) the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum
of (1) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all
outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender, (2) an amount equal to all Unpaid
Drawings that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced
Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such
time, and (3) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees
owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 4.1,

     (B) the Issuing Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s
Revolving Percentage of any Unpaid Drawing (which at such time remains an
Unpaid Drawing) to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such
Replaced Lender to the Issuing Lender, and

     (C) the Swingline Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s
Revolving Percentage of any Mandatory Borrowing to the extent such amount
was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender to the Swingline Lender,
and

     (ii) all obligations of the Borrower due and owing to the Replaced Lender at
such time (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of
which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid) shall
be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.

     (b) Replacement Lender Becomes Lender. Upon the execution of the applicable Assignment
and Assumption Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (a)(i) and
(a)(ii) above and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the
Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the
Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to
constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this
Agreement (including Sections 2.13, 2.14, 3.6, 5.7,
12.6 and 13.2), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender.

            Section 2.17 Limitation on Additional Amounts. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in Section 2.13 or 3.6, unless a Lender gives notice to the
Borrower that the Borrower is obligated to pay any amount under Section 2.13 or 3.6
within 180 days after the later of (x) the date such Lender incurs the respective increased costs
or reduction in the rate of return or (y) the date such Lender has actual knowledge of its
incurrence of the respective increased costs or reduction in the rate of return, such Lender shall
only be entitled to be compensated for such amount by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13
or 3.6 to the extent the respective increased costs or reduction in the rate of return are
incurred or suffered on or after the date which occurs 180 days prior to such Lender giving notice
to the Borrower that it is obligated to pay the respective amounts pursuant to Section 2.13
or 3.6. This Section 2.17 shall have no applicability to any Section of this Agreement other than
Sections 2.13 and 3.6.

            Section 3.1 Letters of Credit.

     (a) No Existing Letters of Credit. Under the Old Credit Agreement, the Issuing Lender
issued no letters of credit for the benefit of the Companies that remain outstanding as of
the date hereof.

     (b) Requests for Letters of Credit. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set
forth herein, the Borrower may request that the Issuing Lender issue, at any time and from
time to time on and after the Closing Date and prior to the 30th day prior to the Revolving
Loan Maturity Date, for the account of the Borrower and for the benefit of (x) any holder
(or any trustee, agent or other similar representative for any such holders) of L/C
Supportable Obligations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, an irrevocable standby
letter of credit, in a form customarily used by the Issuing Lender or in such other form as
has been approved by the Issuing Lender, and (y) sellers of goods to the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries, an irrevocable trade letter of credit, in a form customarily used by the
Issuing Lender or in such other form as has been approved by the Issuing Lender (each such
letter of credit, a “Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Letters of
Credit”). All Letters of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars and shall be issued on
a sight basis only.

     (c) Commitment To Issue Letters of Credit. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions
set forth herein, the Issuing Lender agrees that it will, at any time and from time to time
on and after the Closing Date and prior to the 30th day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity
Date, following its receipt of the respective Letter of Credit Request, issue for the
account of the Borrower, one or more Letters of Credit as are permitted to remain
outstanding hereunder without giving rise to a Default or an Event of Default, provided that
the Issuing Lender shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit of the types
described above if at the time of such issuance:

     (i) any order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or arbitrator
shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Lender from issuing
such Letter of Credit or any requirement of law applicable to the Issuing Lender or
any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any
governmental authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or
request that the Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit
generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing
Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital
requirement (for which the Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder)
not in effect with respect to the Issuing

infoUSA Credit Agreement

Lender on the date hereof, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was
not applicable or in effect with respect to the Issuing Lender as of the date hereof
and which the Issuing Lender reasonably and in good faith deems material to it; or

     (ii) the Issuing Lender shall have received from the Borrower or the Required
Lenders prior to the issuance of such Letter of Credit, notice of the type described
in the second sentence of Section 3.3(b).

            Section 3.2 Maximum Letter of Credit Outstandings; Final Maturities. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,

     (a) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Stated Amount of which, when added to the
Letter of Credit Outstandings (exclusive of Unpaid Drawings which are repaid on the date of,
and prior to the issuance of, such Letter of Credit) at such time would exceed either (i)
$10,000,000 or (ii) when added to the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of all
Revolving Loans then outstanding and (B) the aggregate principal amount of all Swingline
Loans then outstanding, an amount equal to the Total Revolving Facility Amount at such time,
and

     (b) each Letter of Credit shall by its terms terminate on or before the earlier of (i)
(A) in the case of standby Letters of Credit, the date which occurs 12 months after the date
of the issuance thereof (although any such standby Letter of Credit may be extendible for
successive periods of up to 12 months, but, in each case, not beyond the third Business Day
prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, on terms acceptable to the Issuing Lender) and
(B) in the case of trade Letters of Credit, the date which occurs 180 days after the date of
issuance thereof, and (ii) 30 days prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date.

            Section 3.3 Letter of Credit Requests; Minimum Stated Amount.

     (a) Letter of Credit Requests. Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be
issued for its account, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the Issuing
Lender at least five Business Days (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Issuing
Lender) written notice thereof (including by way of facsimile). Each notice shall be in the
form of Exhibit E, appropriately completed (each a “Letter of Credit
Request”). Further, in conjunction with each Letter of Credit Request, Borrower shall
submit an application and agreement for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit in
the form from time to time in use by the Issuing Lender.

     (b) Issuance of Letters of Credit. The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be
deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower that such Letter of Credit may be
issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.2.
Unless the Issuing Lender has received notice from the Borrower or the Required Lenders
before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more

-41-

 

of the conditions specified in Articles VI or VII are not then
satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 3.2,
then the Issuing Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, issue
the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower in accordance with the
Issuing Lender’s usual and customary practices. Upon the issuance of or modification or
amendment to any standby Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the
Administrative Agent and each Participant of such issuance, modification or amendment as the
case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if a
Lender Default exists, the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue any Letter of
Credit unless the Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the
Borrower to eliminate the Issuing Lender’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters
of Credit by the Defaulting Lender or Lenders, including by cash collateralizing such
Defaulting Lender’s or Lenders’ Revolving Percentage of the Letter of Credit Outstandings.

     (c) Minimum Initial Stated Amount. The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit
shall not be less than $50,000 or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the Issuing Lender.

            Section 3.4 Letter of Credit Participations.

     (a) Sale of Participations. Immediately upon the issuance by the Issuing Lender of any
Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each
Revolving Lender, other than the Issuing Lender (each such Lender, in its capacity under
this Section 3.4, a “Participant”), and each such Participant shall be
deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the Issuing
Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent
of such Participant’s Revolving Percentage, in such Letter of Credit, each drawing or
payment made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with
respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change
in the Revolving Loan Amounts or Revolving Percentages of the Lenders pursuant to
Section 2.16 or 13.5(b), it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all
Letter of Credit Outstandings, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations
pursuant to this Section 3.4 to reflect the new Revolving Percentages of the
assignor and assignee Lender.

     (b) Issuing Lender’s Duties to Other Lenders. In determining whether to pay under any
Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall not have an obligation relative to the other
Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter
of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on
their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to
be taken by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit shall not
create for the Issuing Lender any resulting liability to the Borrower, any other Obligor,
any Lender or any other Person unless such action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross
negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable decision).

     (c) Reimbursement by Participants. If the Issuing Lender makes any payment under any
Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to the
Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.5(a), the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify
the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Participant of such failure, and
each Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Issuing Lender the amount of
such Participant’s Revolving Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars and in same
day funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies, prior to 12:00 noon on any Business
Day, any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such Participant
shall make available to the Issuing Lender in Dollars such Participant’s Revolving
Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds. If and to
the extent such Participant shall not have so made its Revolving Percentage of the amount of
such payment available to the Issuing Lender, such Participant agrees to pay to the Issuing
Lender, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from
such date until the date such amount is paid to the Issuing Lender at the overnight Federal
Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate applicable to Revolving Loans
maintained as Base Rate Loans for each day thereafter. The failure of any Participant to
make available to the Issuing Lender its Revolving Percentage of any payment under any
Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to make
available to the Issuing Lender its Revolving Percentage of any payment under any Letter of
Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Participant shall be responsible for
the failure of any other Participant to make available to the Issuing Lender such other
Participant’s Revolving Percentage of any such payment.

     (d) Reimbursement of Participants. Whenever the Issuing Lender receives a payment of a
reimbursement obligation as to which it has received any payments from the Participants
pursuant to subsection (c), the Issuing Lender shall pay to each such Participant
which has paid its Revolving Percentage thereof, in Dollars and in same day funds, an amount
equal to such Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally
funded by such Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all Participants) of the
principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the
purchase of the respective participations.

     (e) Copies of Documents. Upon the request of any Participant, the Issuing Lender shall
furnish to such Participant copies of any Letter of Credit and such other documentation as
may reasonably be requested by such Participant.

     (f) Participant’s Obligations Irrevocable. The obligations of the Participants to make
payments to the Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and
not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all
circumstances, including any of the following circumstances:

infoUSA Credit Agreement

-43-

 

     (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the
other Credit Documents;

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

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

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

     (v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

            Section 3.5 Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings.

     (a) Obligation to Repay Drawings. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Issuing Lender,
by making payment to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Payment
Office, for any payment or disbursement made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of
Credit (each such amount, so paid until reimbursed, an “Unpaid Drawing”), not later
than one Business Day following receipt by the Borrower of notice of such payment or
disbursement (provided that no such notice shall be required to be given if a Default or an
Event of Default under Section 11.1(e) shall have occurred and be continuing, in
which case the Unpaid Drawing shall be due and payable immediately without presentment,
demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower)),
with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by the Issuing Lender, to the extent not
reimbursed prior to 11:00 A.M. on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and
including the date paid or disbursed to but excluding the date the Issuing Lender was
reimbursed by the Borrower therefor at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect
from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate
Loans; provided, however, to the extent such amounts are not reimbursed
prior to 11:00 A.M. on the third Business Day following the receipt by the Borrower of
notice of such payment or disbursement or following the occurrence of a Default or an Event
of Default under Section 11.1(e), interest shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so
paid or disbursed by the Issuing Lender (and until reimbursed by the Borrower) at a rate per
annum equal to the Base Rate in effect from

infoUSA Credit Agreement

-44-

 

time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate
Loans plus 2%, with interest to be payable on demand. The Issuing Lender shall give the
Borrower prompt notice of each Drawing under any Letter of Credit; provided that the failure
to give any such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish the Borrower’s
obligations hereunder.

     (b) Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section
3.5 to reimburse the Issuing Lender with respect to drawings under Letters of Credit
(each a “Drawing”) (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and
unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim
or defense to payment which the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower may have or have
had against the beneficiary or any Lender (including in its capacity as the Issuing Lender
or as a Participant), including any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a
Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any nonapplication or
misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing; provided,
however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse the Issuing Lender
for any wrongful payment made by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit as a result of
acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the
Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable decision).

               Section 3.6 Increased Costs. If at any time after the date of this Agreement, the
introduction of or any change in any applicable law, rule, regulation, order, guideline or request
or in the interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any governmental authority
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Issuing Lender or
any Participant with any request or directive by the NAIC or by any such authority (whether or not
having the force of law), shall either

     (a) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar
requirement against letters of credit issued by the Issuing Lender or participated in by any
Participant, or

     (b) impose on the Issuing Lender or any Participant any other conditions relating,
directly or indirectly, to this Agreement or any Letter of Credit;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Issuing Lender or any
Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or reduce the amount
of any sum received or receivable by the Issuing Lender or any Participant hereunder or reduce the
rate of return on its capital with respect to Letters of Credit (except for changes in the rate of
tax on, or determined by reference to, the net income or profits of the Issuing Lender or such
Participant pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or in which its
principal office or applicable lending office is located or any subdivision thereof or therein),
then, upon the delivery of the certificate referred to below to the Borrower by the Issuing Lender
or any Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by the Issuing

infoUSA Credit Agreement

-45-

 

Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall, subject to Section
2.17, pay to the Issuing Lender or such Participant such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in the amount receivable or reduction
on the rate of return on its capital. The Issuing Lender or any Participant, upon determining that
any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 3.6, will give prompt
written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall include a certificate submitted to the
Borrower by the Issuing Lender or such Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by
the Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable
detail the basis for the calculation of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate
the Issuing Lender or such Participant. The certificate required to be delivered pursuant to this
Section 3.6 shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on the
Borrower.

connection with such occurrence with respect to letters of credit. In addition the Borrower
shall pay directly to the Issuing Lender, for its own account the customary issuance,
presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges,
relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such fees and charges are due
and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

at least one Business Day’s prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office

receives any cash proceeds from any Asset Sale, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
Agent for application to the Term Loans an amount equal to 100% of the Net Sale Proceeds
therefrom; provided that:

     (i) with respect to no more than $5,000,000 in the aggregate of cash proceeds
from Asset Sales in any fiscal year of the Borrower, the Net Sale Proceeds therefrom
shall not be required to be so applied on such date so long as no Default or Event
of Default then exists and the Borrower has delivered a certificate to the
Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that such Net Sale Proceeds
shall be used to purchase assets used or to be used in the business permitted
pursuant to Section 10.13 (including (but only to the extent permitted by
Section 10.2), the purchase of the assets or 100% of the capital stock of a
Person engaged in such businesses) within 180 days following the date of such Asset
Sale (which certificate shall set forth the estimates of the proceeds to be so
expended), and

     (ii) provided further, that if all or any portion of such Net Sale
Proceeds not required to be applied to the repayment of outstanding Term Loans are
not so reinvested within such 180-day period (or such earlier date, if any, as the
Borrower determines not to reinvest the Net Sale Proceeds from such Asset Sale as
set forth above), such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such
period (or such earlier date, as the case may be) as a mandatory repayment of
principal of outstanding Term Loans as provided in clause (i) above without regard
to the preceding proviso. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Net Sale Proceeds of up to
$7,000,000 from the sale of the Borrower’s property consisting of approximately 25.7

application to the Term Loans an amount equal to 100% of such Net Recovery Event Proceeds;
provided that:

     (i) so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, such Net Recovery
Event Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the extent
that the Borrower has delivered a certificate to the Administrative Agent on or
prior to such date stating that such Net Recovery Event Proceeds shall be used to
replace or restore any properties or assets in respect of which such Net Recovery
Event Proceeds were paid within 180 days following the date of the receipt of such
Net Recovery Event Proceeds (which certificate shall set forth the estimates of the
Net Recovery Event Proceeds to be so expended);

     (ii) if the amount of such Net Recovery Event Proceeds exceeds $2,500,000, then
the entire amount of such Net Recovery Event Proceeds (and not just the portion of
such Net Recovery Event Proceeds in excess of $2,500,000) shall be deposited with
the Administrative Agent pursuant to a cash collateral arrangement reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent whereby such proceeds shall be disbursed to
the Borrower from time to time as needed to pay actual costs incurred by the
Companies in connection with the replacement or restoration of the applicable
properties or assets (pursuant to such certification requirements as may be
reasonably required by the Administrative Agent, including certifications to the
effect that (x) no Default or Event of Default then exists and (y) the Companies
have actually incurred such costs (which certification shall be accompanied by any
paid invoices or invoices required to be paid within 5 Business Days thereafter)),
although at any time while an Event of Default exists, the Required Lenders may
direct the Administrative Agent (in which case the Administrative Agent shall, and
is hereby authorized by the Borrower to, follow said directions) to apply any or all
proceeds then on deposit in such collateral account to the repayment of Obligations
hereunder, and

     (iii) if all or any portion of such Net Recovery Event Proceeds not required to
be applied to the repayment of outstanding Term Loans pursuant to clause (i)
are not so used within 180 days after the date of the receipt of such Net Recovery
Event Proceeds (or such earlier date, if any, as the Borrower determines not to
reinvest the Net Recovery Event Proceeds relating to such Recovery Event as set
forth above), such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period
(or such earlier date, as the case may be) as a mandatory repayment of principal of
outstanding Term Loans as provided in Section 5.5.

               Section 5.5 Application of Mandatory Prepayments.

     (a) Pro Rata Application of Mandatory Prepayments. Each Mandatory Prepayment shall be
applied pro-rata to reduce the then remaining Term Loan Scheduled Repayments in the inverse
order of maturity.

     (b) Applications to Types of Loans. The Borrower may designate the Types of Loans which
are to be repaid and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings
pursuant to which made, provided that:

     (i) repayments of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an
Interest Period applicable thereto unless all Eurodollar Loans of the applicable
Tranche with Interest Periods ending on such date of required repayment and all Base
Rate Loans of the applicable Tranche have been paid in full;

     (ii) if any repayment of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing
shall reduce the outstanding Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an
amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, such Borrowing
shall be converted at the end of the then current Interest Period into a Borrowing
of Base Rate Loans; and

     (iii) each repayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied
pro rata among such Loans.

In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in this subsection (b),
the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole
discretion.

     (c) Revolving Loans. Upon the payment in full of the Term Loans, 50% of all Net Equity
Proceeds, 100% of all Net Debt Proceeds and 100% of all cash proceeds from any Asset Sale
(except as provided in Section 5.4(c)), which in each case before repayment of the
Term Loans would be required to be applied to the repayment thereof, shall be forthwith
applied to the mandatory repayment of the Revolving Loans. Concurrent with such
application, the Total Revolving Facility Amount shall be reduced by a like amount.

     (d) Maturity Date; Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, (i) all then outstanding Loans
of any Tranche shall be repaid in full on the respective Maturity Date for such Tranche of
Loans and (ii) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, all then outstanding Loans shall
be repaid in full on the date on which a Change of Control occurs.

               Section 5.6 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided
herein, all payments under this Agreement or under any Note shall be made to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto not later than

infoUSA Credit Agreement

-52-

 

11:00 A.M. on the date when due and shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds at
the Payment Office. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to
be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable at
the applicable rate during such extension.

               Section 5.7 Net Payments.

     (a) Payments Net of Taxes. All payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under any
Note will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. Except as provided in
Section 5.7(b), all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without
deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees,
assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction
or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such
payments (but excluding, except as provided in the second succeeding sentence, any tax
imposed on or measured by the net income or profits of a Lender pursuant to the laws of the
jurisdiction in which it is organized or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or
applicable lending office of such Lender is located or any subdivision thereof or therein)
and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect to such non-excluded taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges (all such non-excluded taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively
as “Taxes”). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Borrower agrees to pay the
full amount of such Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every
payment of all amounts due under this Agreement or under any Note, after withholding or
deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for
herein or in such Note. If any amounts are payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to the
preceding sentence, the Borrower agrees to reimburse each Lender, upon the written request
of such Lender, for taxes imposed on or measured by the net income or profits of such Lender
pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Lender is organized or in which the
principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located or under the laws of
any political subdivision or taxing authority of any such jurisdiction in which such Lender
is organized or in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is
located and for any withholding of taxes as such Lender shall determine are payable by, or
withheld from, such Lender, in respect of such amounts so paid to or on behalf of such
Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence and in respect of any amounts paid to or on behalf
of such Lender pursuant to this sentence. The Borrower will furnish to the Administrative
Agent within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable
law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Borrower. The Borrower
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such Lender upon its
written request, for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Lender.

     (b) IRS Forms to be Delivered by Lenders. Each Lender that is not a United States
person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income
tax purposes agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to
the Closing Date or, in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an
interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.16 or 13.5(b) (unless
the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or
transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, (i) two accurate and
complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with
respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) (or successor forms) certifying
to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States
withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note,
or (ii) if the Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code
and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect
to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) (or any successor forms) pursuant to
clause (i) above, (A) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F
(any such certificate, a “Section 5.7(b)(ii) Certificate”) and (B) two accurate and
complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (with respect to the
portfolio interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as
of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to
payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under any Note. In addition, each
Lender agrees that from time to time after the Closing Date, when a lapse in time or change
in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material
respect, such Lender will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new
accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form
W-8BEN (with respect to the benefits of any income tax treaty), Form W-8BEN (with respect to
the portfolio interest exemption) and a Section 5.7(b)(ii) Certificate, as the case
may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the
entitlement of such Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States
withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Note, or such Lender
shall immediately notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to
deliver any such Form or Certificate, in which case such Lender shall not be required to
deliver any such Form or Certificate pursuant to this Section 5.7(b).

     (c) Borrower’s Right to Withhold Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Section 5.7(a), but subject to Sections 5.7(b) and
13.5(b), (i) the Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so
by law, to deduct or withhold income or similar taxes imposed by the United States (or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, Fees or other
amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Lender which is not a United States person
(as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax
purposes to the extent that such Lender has not provided to the Borrower U.S. Internal
Revenue Service Forms that establish a complete exemption from such

deduction or withholding and (ii) the Borrower shall not be obligated pursuant to
Section 5.7(a) to gross-up payments to be made to a Lender in respect of income or
similar taxes imposed by the United States if (A) such Lender has not provided to the
Borrower the Internal Revenue Service Forms required to be provided to the Borrower pursuant
to Section 5.7(b) or (B) in the case of a payment, other than interest, to a Lender
described in Section 5.7(b)(ii), to the extent that such Forms do not establish a
complete exemption from withholding of such taxes.

     (d) Change in Tax Laws. Subject to Section 5.7 and except as set forth in
Section 13.5(b), the Borrower further agrees to pay any additional amounts and to
indemnify each Lender in the manner set forth in Section 5.7(a) (without regard to
the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in respect of any
Taxes deducted or withheld by it as described in subsection (c) as a result of any
changes that are effective after the Closing Date in any applicable law, treaty,
governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof,
relating to the deducting or withholding of such Taxes.

execution, delivery and performance of any Credit Document or (ii) the legality, validity, binding
effect or enforceability of any such Credit Document.

               Section 8.5 Financial Statements; Financial Condition; Undisclosed Liabilities;
Projections; etc.

     (a) Financial Statements of Borrower.

     (i) The audited consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower for its fiscal
years ended on December 31, 2002, 2003, and 2004 and the related audited
consolidated statements of income, cash flows and shareholders’ equity of the
Borrower for the fiscal years ended on such dates, as the case may be, copies of
which were furnished to the Lenders prior to the Closing Date, present fairly in all
material respects the consolidated financial position of the Borrower at the dates
of such balance sheets and the consolidated results of the operations of the
Borrower for the periods covered thereby. All of the foregoing financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied.

     (ii) The unaudited consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower for its fiscal
quarter ended December 31, 2005, and the related unaudited consolidated statements
of income, cash flows and shareholders’ equity of the Borrower for such fiscal
quarter, copies of which were furnished to the Lenders prior to the Closing Date,
present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the
Borrower at the date of such balance sheet and the consolidated results of the
operations of the Borrower for the period covered thereby. All of the foregoing
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently
applied.

     (iii) Since December 31, 2004, except as disclosed in the Borrower’s SEC
filings, there has been no change in the business, operations, property, assets,
liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Company that has
had, or could reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

     (b) Solvency. On and as of the Closing Date and after giving effect to all Indebtedness
(including the Loans) being incurred or assumed and Liens created by the Obligors in
connection therewith (i) the sum of the assets, at a fair valuation, of each of the Borrower
on a stand-alone basis and the Companies taken as a whole will exceed its debts; (ii) none
of the Borrower on a stand-alone basis or the Companies taken as a whole has incurred,
intends to incur, or believes that it will incur, debts

infoUSA Credit Agreement

-62-

 

beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature; and (iii) each of the Borrower on
a stand-alone basis and the Companies taken as a whole will have sufficient capital with
which to conduct its business. For purposes of this Section 8.5(b), “debt” means
any liability on a claim, and “claim” means (a) right to payment, whether or not such a
right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured,
unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured, or unsecured or (b) right to an
equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a payment, whether
or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured,
unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured. The amount of contingent liabilities
at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in the light of all the facts and
circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected
to become an actual or matured liability.

     (c) No Other Liabilities. Except as fully disclosed in the financial statements
delivered pursuant to Section 8.5(a), and, to the Borrower’s knowledge as of the
Closing Date with respect to the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section
8.5(a), there were as of the Closing Date no liabilities or obligations with respect to
any Company of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and
whether or not due) which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be
expected to be material to the Companies taken as a whole. As of the Closing Date, the
Borrower does not know of any basis for the assertion against any Company of any liability
or obligation of any nature whatsoever that is not fully disclosed in the financial
statements delivered pursuant to Section 8.5(a) which, either individually or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to be material to the Companies taken as a whole.

     (d) Projections. On and as of the Closing Date, the Projections delivered to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders prior to the Closing Date have been prepared in good
faith and are based on reasonable assumptions, and there are no statements or conclusions in
the Projections which are based upon or include information known to the Borrower to be
misleading in any material respect or which fail to take into account material information
known to the Borrower regarding the matters reported therein. On the Closing Date, the
Borrower believes that the Projections are reasonable and attainable, it being recognized by
the Lenders, however, that projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and
that the actual results during the period or periods covered by the Projections may differ
from the projected results and that the differences may be material.

               Section 8.6 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the
knowledge of the Borrower, threatened (i) with respect to any Credit Documents, (ii) with respect
to any material Indebtedness of any Company or (iii) that are, either individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

               Section 8.7 True and Complete Disclosure. All factual information (taken as a whole)
furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower in writing to the Administrative Agent or

infoUSA Credit Agreement

-63-

 

any Lender (including all information contained in the Credit Documents) for purposes of or in
connection with this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any transaction contemplated herein
or therein is, and all other such factual information (taken as a whole) hereafter furnished by or
on behalf of the Borrower in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender will be, true and
accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is dated or certified
and not incomplete by omitting to state any fact necessary to make such information (taken as a
whole) not misleading in any material respect at such time in light of the circumstances under
which such information was provided.

               Section 8.8 Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations.

     (a) Use of Proceeds. All proceeds of the Loans will be used by the Borrower (i) to
satisfy all Indebtedness other than Permitted Indebtedness, (ii) to pay fees and expenses
related to the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Credit Documents, for
working capital and Capital Expenditures, (iii) to finance Permitted Acquisitions, (iv) to
finance Restricted Payments, and (v) for other lawful corporate purposes.

     (b) Margin Regulations. No part of any Credit Event (or the proceeds thereof) will be
used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit for the purpose of purchasing
or carrying any Margin Stock. Neither the making of any Loan nor the use of the proceeds
thereof nor the occurrence of any other Credit Event will violate or be inconsistent with
the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System.

               Section 8.9 Tax Returns and Payments. Each Company has filed all federal and state
income tax returns and all other material tax returns, domestic and foreign, required to be filed
by it and has paid all taxes and assessments payable by it which have become due, except for
immaterial taxes and assessments and for those contested in good faith and adequately disclosed and
fully provided for on the financial statements of the Companies in accordance with GAAP. Each
Company has at all times paid, or has provided adequate reserves (in the good faith judgment of the
management of the applicable Person) for the payment of, all federal, state, local and foreign
income taxes applicable for all prior fiscal years and for the current fiscal year to date. There
is no action, suit, proceeding, investigation, audit, or claim now pending or, to the knowledge of
the Borrower threatened, by any authority regarding any taxes relating to any Company that either
individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability to
any Company.

               Section 8.10 Compliance with ERISA.

     (a) Domestic Plans. Schedule 2 of the Disclosure Letter sets forth, as of the Closing
Date, each Plan. Each Plan (and each related trust, insurance contract or fund) is in
compliance in all material respects with its terms and with all applicable laws, including
ERISA and the Code; each Plan (and each related trust, if any) which is intended to be
qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a determination letter from the
Internal Revenue Service to the effect that it meets the

infoUSA Credit Agreement

-64-

 

requirements of Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code, as amended through the series
of legislation commonly known as “GUST”, timely required “good-faith” amendments for the
Economic Growth and Tax Reform Reconciliation Act of 2001 have been made, and timely
application has been or will be made for a determination letter with respect to such
legislation and subsequent legislation; no Reportable Event has occurred; no Plan which is a
multiemployer plan (as defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA) is insolvent or in
reorganization; no Plan has any material Unfunded Current Liability; no Plan which is
subject to Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA has an accumulated funding
deficiency, within the meaning of such sections of the Code or ERISA, as of the close if its
most recent fiscal year ended prior to the date of the most recent Credit Event, or has
applied for or received a waiver of an accumulated funding deficiency or an extension of any
amortization period, within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 303 or 304 of
ERISA; all contributions required to be made with respect to a Plan have been timely made;
neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any material liability (including
any indirect, contingent or secondary liability) to or on account of a Plan pursuant to
Section 409, 502(i), 502(l) or 515 of ERISA, Title IV of ERISA (other than liability for
premiums payments to the PBGC, which have been paid when due) or Sections 401(a)(29), 4971
or 4975 of the Code or expects to incur any such material liability under any of the
foregoing sections with respect to any Plan; no condition exists which presents a material
risk to any Company or any ERISA Affiliate of incurring a material liability to or on
account of a Plan pursuant to the foregoing provisions of ERISA and the Code; no proceedings
have been instituted to terminate or appoint a trustee to administer any Plan which is
subject to Title IV of ERISA; no action, suit, proceeding, hearing, audit or investigation
with respect to the administration, operation or the investment of assets of any Plan (other
than routine claims for benefits) is pending or, to the Borrower’s knowledge, expected or
threatened; using actuarial assumptions and computation methods consistent with Part 1 of
subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the aggregate liabilities of the Borrower and its ERISA
Affiliates to all Plans which are multiemployer plans (as defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of
ERISA) in the event of a complete withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the most recent
fiscal year of each such Plan ended prior to the date of the most recent Credit Event, would
not exceed $500,000; and no lien imposed under the Code or ERISA on the assets of the
Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate exists or is likely to
arise on account of any Plan.

     (b) Foreign Pension Plans. Each Foreign Pension Plan is in compliance in all material
respects with its terms and with the requirements of any and all applicable laws, and has
been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities.
All material contributions required to be made with respect to a Foreign Pension Plan have
been timely made. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any
material obligation in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign
Pension Plan. The present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested)
under each Foreign Pension Plan, determined as of the end of the Borrower’s recently ended
fiscal year on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not exceed in any material
respect the current value of the assets of such Foreign Pension Plan allocable to such
benefit liabilities.

governmental bodies, domestic or foreign, in respect of the conduct of its business and the

ARTICLE XII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

          Section 12.1 Appointment. The Lenders hereby irrevocably designate Wells Fargo as
Administrative Agent (for purposes of this Article XII, the term “Administrative
 Agent” also shall include Wells Fargo in its capacity as Collateral Agent pursuant to the
Security Documents) to act as specified herein and in the other Credit Documents. Each Lender
hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of such Note shall be
deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Administrative Agent to take such action on their behalf under
the provisions of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other instruments and
agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties
hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent
by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The
Administrative Agent may perform any of their respective duties hereunder by or through its
officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates.

          Section 12.2 Nature of Duties. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Credit
Documents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, agents, employees
or affiliates shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by them hereunder or under any other
Credit Document or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by its or their gross
negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable decision). The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and
administrative in nature; the Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or
any other Credit Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or the holder of any
Note; and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, expressed or implied, is
intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in
respect of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except as expressly set forth herein or
therein.

          Section 12.3 Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the holder of each Note, to the extent it
deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the
financial condition and affairs of the Companies in connection with the making and the continuance
of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own
appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Companies and, except as expressly provided in this
Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or
on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other
information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans
or at any time or times thereafter. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any
Lender or the holder of any Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or
warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith
or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection,
collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the
financial condition of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry
concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of
this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the financial condition of the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or
Event of Default.

          Section 12.4 Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent
shall request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act or action (including
failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the
Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and the
Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by reason of so refraining. Without
limiting the foregoing, neither any Lender nor the holder of any Note shall have any right of
action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting
or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Credit Document in accordance with the
instructions of the Required Lenders.

          Section 12.5 Reliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall
be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate,
telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone
message signed, sent or made by any Person that the Administrative Agent believed to be the proper
Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Credit
Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by the
Administrative Agent.

          Section 12.6 Indemnification. To the extent the Administrative Agent (or any
affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse
and indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any affiliate thereof) in proportion to their
respective “percentage” as used in determining the Required Lenders (determined as if there were no
Defaulting Lenders) for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or
nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent (or any
affiliate thereof) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in any
way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that no
Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the
Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

          Section 12.7 The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its
obligation to make Loans, or issue or participate in Letters of Credit, under this Agreement, the
Administrative Agent shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may
exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein;
and the term “Lender,” “Required Lenders”, “holders of Notes” or any similar terms shall, unless
the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its respective
individual capacities. The Administrative Agent and

its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of
banking, investment banking, trust or other business with, or provide debt financing, equity
capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to, any Company or any Affiliate
of any Company (or any Person engaged in a similar business with any Company or any Affiliate
thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other
consideration from any Company or any Affiliate of any Company for services in connection with this
Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

          Section 12.8 Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any
Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the
assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the
Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making
such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and
binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or indorsee, as the case may be, of such
Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

          Section 12.9 Resignation by the Administrative Agent.

     (a) The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its respective
functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents at any time by giving
15 Business Days prior written notice to the Lenders. Such resignation shall take effect
upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c)
below or as otherwise provided below.

     (b) Upon any such notice of resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Required
Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder who shall be
a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Borrower which acceptance
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that the Borrower’s approval shall
not be required if an Event of Default then exists).

     (c) If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within such 15
Business Day period, the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Borrower (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that the Borrower’s consent
shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists), shall then appoint a successor
Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder until
such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as
provided above.

     (d) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or
(c) above by the 20th Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by
the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and
the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent
hereunder and/or under any other Credit
Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor
Administrative Agent as provided above.

non-appealable decision)).

To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless the Administrative Agent or
any Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any
law or public policy, the Borrower shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and
satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

          Section 13.3 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted

          Section 13.4 Notices; Distribution of Information via Electronic Means.

     (a) Use of Platform to Distribute Communications. The Administrative Agent may make any
material delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, as well as any amendments,
waivers, consents, and other written information, documents, instruments and other materials
relating to the Borrower, or any of its Subsidiaries, or any other materials or matters
relating to any Credit Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
(collectively, the “Communications”) available to the Lenders and the Issuing Lender
by posting such notices on an electronic delivery system such as IntraLinks or a
substantially similar electronic system (the “Platform”). The Borrower acknowledges
that (i) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure
and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii)
the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” and (iii) neither the Administrative
Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, completeness, timeliness,

errors in transmission, incorrect or incomplete downloading, delays in posting or delivery,
or problems accessing the Communications posted on the Platform and any liability for any

the Platform. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any

Issuing Lender agrees that an e-mail message notice to it (as provided in the next sentence)
(a “Notice”) specifying that any Communication has been posted to the Platform shall
for purposes of this Agreement constitute effective delivery to such Lender of such
information, documents or other materials comprising such Communication.

          Section 13.5 Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations.

     (a) Restrictions on Assignment by Borrower; Participants. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and
assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, the Borrower may not
assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder without the prior
written consent of the Lenders and, provided further, that, although any Lender may
transfer, assign or grant participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a
“Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of
its Loans, Notes, Facility Amounts or Commitments hereunder except as provided in
Sections 2.16 and 13.5(b)) and the transferee, assignee or participant, as
the case may be, shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder and, provided further,
that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the participant shall
have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit
Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would:

     (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit
(unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity
Date) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the
time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of
applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the
principal amount thereof (it being understood that any amendment or modification to
the financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section 13.8(a) shall not
constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or Fees payable hereunder), or
increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then
in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or
of a mandatory reduction in the

infoUSA
Credit Agreement

- 103 -

 

Total Facility Amount shall not constitute a change in the terms of such
participation, and that an increase in any Facility Amount (or the available portion
thereof) or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the
participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof),

     (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement, or

or release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors.

Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender
in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such
Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower
hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.

     (b) Assignments to Affiliates and Non-Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may:

     (i) assign all or a portion of its Loans, Notes, Facility Amounts or
Commitments (or, if the Commitments with respect to the relevant Tranche have
terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to (A) its parent company and/or any
affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent
company or to one or more Lenders or (B) in the case of any Lender that is a fund
that invests in loans, any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or
advised by the same investment advisor of such Lender or by an Affiliate of such
investment advisor, or

     (ii) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least (A)
$1,000,000 in the aggregate for the Term Loans of the assigning Lender or assigning
Lenders, or (B) $5,000,000 in the aggregate for the Revolving Facility Amount of the
assigning Lender or the Revolving Facility Amounts of the assigning Lenders, and
related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Commitments with respect to the relevant
Tranche have terminated, outstanding Obligations), to one or more Eligible
Transferees (treating any fund that invests in loans and any other fund that invests
in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such fund or by
an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single Eligible Transferee),

each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of
an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, provided that,

     (iii) upon the surrender of the relevant Notes by the assigning Lender (or,
upon such assigning Lender’s indemnifying the Borrower for any
lost Note pursuant to a customary indemnification agreement) new Notes will be
issued, at the Borrower’s expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender
upon the request of such new Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in
conformity with the requirements of Section 2.8 (with appropriate
modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Facility Amounts and/or
outstanding Loans, as the case may be,

     (iv) the consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required (such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) for any assignment to an Eligible
Transferee pursuant to clause (ii) above,

     (v) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed) shall be required for any assignment to an Eligible Transferee pursuant
to clause (ii) if and only if the assignment (A) is to an Eligible
Transferee who is not already a Lender, (B) occurs after the 30th day
following the Closing Date, (C) occurs when no Default or Event of Default exists,
and (D) is for more than $5,000,000 of Facility Amounts and related outstanding
Obligations by one Lender to an Eligible Transferee;

     (vi) the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such
assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable
assignment fee of $2,000 (only one such fee shall be payable in the event of a
simultaneous assignment to multiple assignees that are Affiliates or managed or
advised by the same investment advisor or from multiple assignors that are
Affiliates or managed or advised by the same investment advisor), and

     (vii) no such transfer or assignment will be effective until recorded by the
Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 13.16.

     (c) Effect of Assignment. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to Section
13.5(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with
respect to its assigned Commitments, Facility Amounts and outstanding Loans.

     (d) Tax Issues; Increased Costs. At the time of each assignment pursuant to Section
13.5(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder and which is not a United
States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal
income tax purposes, the respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled to
do so, provide to the Borrower the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if
applicable, a Section 5.7(b)(ii) Certificate) described in Section 5.7(b).
To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitments, Facility
Amounts and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 2.16 or Section
13.5(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under
Section 2.13, 3.6 or 5.7 from those being charged by the respective
assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay
such increased costs (although the Borrower, in accordance with and pursuant to the other
provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other
increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of
the respective assignment).

     (e) Assignments by Lenders For Collateral Purposes. Nothing in this Agreement shall
prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal
Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank
and, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, any Lender which is a fund may pledge
or assign all or any portion of its Loans and Notes to any holders of obligations owed, or
securities issued, by such Lender including to any trustee for, or any other representative
of, such holders. No pledge pursuant to this clause (e) shall release the transferor Lender
from any of its obligations hereunder. In no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve
Bank, trustee or other representative of a Lender’s creditors be considered to be a “Lender”
or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.

          Section 13.6 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender in exercising any
right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing
between any Obligor and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender or any
Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right,
power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder.
The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on
any Obligor in any case shall entitle any Obligor to any other or further notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent,
the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender to any other or further action in any
circumstances without notice or demand.

          Section 13.7 Payments Pro Rata.

     (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees
that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of the Borrower in respect
of any Obligations hereunder, it shall distribute such payment to the Lenders (other than
any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment)
pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to
which such payment was received.

     (b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether
by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff
or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the
Credit Documents, or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or
interest on, the Loans, Unpaid

Drawings, Commitment Fee or Letter of Credit Fees, of a sum which with respect to the
related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of
such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then
owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender
receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the
other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Obligor to such Lenders in
such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in such
amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered
from such Lenders, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the
extent of such recovery, but without interest.

     (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the
preceding Section 13.7(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions
of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting
Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.

          Section 13.8 Calculations; Computations; Accounting Terms.

     (a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be
made and prepared in accordance with GAAP in the United States consistently applied
throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise
disclosed in writing by the Borrower to the Lenders); provided that, except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, all computations and all definitions used in determining
compliance with Sections 10.7 through 10.9, inclusive, shall utilize
accounting principles and policies in conformity with those used to prepare the latest
audited historical financial statements of the Borrower referred to in Section
8.5(a).

     (b) If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial
ratio or requirement set forth in any Credit Document, and either the Borrower or the
Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower
shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original
intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required
Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to
be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Borrower shall
provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents
required hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or
requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP.

     (c) All computations of interest, Commitment Fee and other Fees hereunder shall be made
on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day
but excluding the last day; except that in the case of Letter of Credit Fees, the last day
shall be included) occurring in the period for which

- 107 -

 

such interest, Commitment Fee or other Fees are payable; provided that interest in
respect of Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the prime rate shall be made on the
basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, for the actual number of days
occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.

          Section 13.9 GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

     (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE
PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY
THE LAW OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA. ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF

OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF
ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS.

     (b) THE BORROWER HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH COURTS LACK
PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE BORROWER, AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM, IN ANY LEGAL
ACTION PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS BROUGHT IN

BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH

IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED
HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS WAS IN ANY WAY INVALID

COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST THE BORROWER IN ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION.

          Section 13.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the

Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

          Section 13.11 Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several sections and
subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the
meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated
unless such amendment, change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed by the
respective Obligors party thereto and the Required Lenders, provided that no such amendment,
change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent of each Lender (other than a
Defaulting Lender) (with Obligations being directly affected in the case of following
subsections (a) and (h))):

     (a) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note or extend the stated
expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, or reduce
the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection
with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce
the principal amount thereof (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the
financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section 13.8 shall not constitute a

     (b) release all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as expressly provided in
the Credit Documents) under all the Security Documents or release all or substantially all
of the Subsidiary Guarantors,

     (c) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 13.12 (except for

provided to the Term Loans and the Revolving Loans on the Closing Date),

then in effect without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers or
modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a
mandatory reduction in the Total Facility Amount shall not constitute an increase of the
Facility Amount of any Lender, and that an increase in the available portion of any Facility
Amount of any Lender shall not constitute an increase of the Facility Amount of such
Lender),

     (j) affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the

     (l) amend, change, modify or waive the provisions of Sections 5.4 or
5.5, or adversely affect the rights of Lenders participating in any Tranche
different from
those of the Lenders participating in other Tranches, unless, in any such case, such
amendment, modification or waiver shall have been consented to by the holders of (in
Dollars) more than 50% of the aggregate amount of Loans outstanding under the Tranche or
Tranches affected by such modification, or, in the case of a modification affecting the
Revolving Lenders, Revolving Lenders holding more than 50% of the aggregate Revolving
Facility Amounts (it being agreed and understood that modifications which affect all Lenders
ratably shall not be considered hereunder as affecting Lenders of any Tranche differently).

          Section 13.13 Replacement of Non-Consenting Lender. If any Lender (a
“Non-Consenting Lender”) refuses to consent to an amendment to or waiver of any Credit
Document or provision thereof, which amendment or waiver requires unanimous consent of all the
Lenders, or all the Lenders making Loans of a particular Tranche, in order to be effective, then
the Administrative Agent may or the Borrower may (but neither shall be obligated to), upon notice
to the Non-Consenting Lender (and the Administrative Agent, if applicable), require the
Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to
the restrictions contained in Section 13.5(b)) all of its interests, rights, duties and
obligations under this Agreement and the Credit Documents to an Eligible Transferee that shall
assume such obligations (which assignee may be a Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment);
provided that:

     (a) if it is an assignment at the request of the Borrower, the Borrower shall have
received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if the Commitment and
Facility Amount of a Revolving Lender are being assigned, the Issuing Lender), which consent
shall not unreasonably be withheld,

     (b) if it is an assignment at the request of the Administrative Agent and there is no
Event of Default, the Borrower shall have consented to such assignment (and if the
Commitment and Facility Amount of a Revolving Lender are being assigned, the Issuing Lender)
which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld,

     (c) the interests, rights, duties and obligations of all Non-Consenting Lenders are
similarly assigned to Eligible Transferees, and

     (d) the Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans, and participations in unreimbursed Drawings, accrued
interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the
other Credit Documents, from the Eligible Transferee (to the extent of such outstanding
principal, accrued interest and accrued fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other
amounts).

          Section 13.14 Survival of Indemnities. All indemnities set forth herein including in
Sections 2.13, 2.14, 3.6, 5.7, 12.6 and 13.2 shall
survive the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement and the Notes and the making and
repayment of the Obligations.

          Section 13.15 Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to
or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this
Section 13.15 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under
Section 2.13, 2.14, 3.6 or 5.7 from those being charged by the
respective Lender prior to such transfer, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such
increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the
type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective transfer).

          Section 13.16 Register. The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to
serve as the Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes of this Section 13.16, to maintain a
register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Facility Amounts from time to time of
each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the
principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error
in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. With
respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Facility Amounts of such Lender and the rights to the
principal of, and interest on, any Loan shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on
the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Facility
Amounts and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to
such Facility Amounts and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of
assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitment, Facility Amount or Loan shall be recorded
by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of
a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section
13.5(b). Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the
Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a
Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the
Note (if any) evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate
principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender at the
request of any such Lender. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and
against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be
imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under
this Section 13.16.

          Section 13.17 Confidentiality.

     (a) Treatment of Confidential Information. Subject to the provisions Section
13.17(b), each Lender agrees that it will use its reasonable efforts not to disclose
without the prior consent of the Borrower (other than to its employees, auditors, advisors
or counsel or to another Lender if such Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company in
its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information,
provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.17 to
the same extent as such Lender) any information with respect to the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other
Credit Document and which is

Credit Agreement

- 112 -

 

designated by the Borrower to the Lenders in writing as confidential, provided that any
Lender may disclose any such information (i) as has become generally available to the public
other than by virtue of a breach of this Section 13.17(a) by the respective Lender,
(ii) as may be required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to
any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over
such Lender or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or
similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, (iii)
as may be required or appropriate in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection
with any litigation, (iv) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling
applicable to such Lender, (v) to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (vi) to
any pledgee referred to in Section 13.5(e) or any prospective or actual transferee or
participant in connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the
Loans, Notes, Facility Amounts or Commitments or any interest therein by such Lender,
provided that such pledgee or prospective transferee agrees to be bound by the
confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 13.17, and (vii) to any direct
or indirect contractual counterparty to swap agreements with a Lender or such contractual
counterparty’s professional advisor provided that such contractual counterparty or
professional advisor agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 13.17.

     (b) Lenders’ Right to Share Information with Affiliates. The Borrower hereby
acknowledges and agrees that each Lender may share with any of its affiliates, and such
affiliates may share with such Lender any information related to the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries (including any non-public customer information regarding the creditworthiness
of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries), provided such Persons shall be subject to the
provisions of this Section 13.17 to the same extent as such Lender.

          Section 13.18 USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that
pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law
October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information
that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and
other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

          Section 13.19 Restatement of Earlier Agreement. This Agreement is executed for the
purpose of replacing and restating the Old Credit Agreement. Upon execution and delivery of this
Agreement by the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, none of the Lenders, the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall have any obligation to the other under the Old Credit
Agreement, except that the Borrower shall continue to have the obligation to pay any fees remaining
unpaid under the Old Credit Agreement that had accrued through the effective date of this
Agreement.

     (b)
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Collateral
include and no Assignor shall be deemed to have granted a security interest in, any of
Assignor’s right, title or interest in (i) any Intellectual Property (collectively, the
“Non-Assignable Intellectual Property”) to the extent that the grant of such
security interest would constitute or result in the abandonment or invalidation thereof or
the unenforceability of any right, title or interest of any Assignor therein; (ii) any
license, contract or agreement to the extent that the grant of such security interest is
prohibited by or would constitute a default under or a termination of, such license,

such grant are enforceable under applicable law (including UCC section 9-406), it being
understood that each Assignor hereby agrees to use all reasonable efforts to obtain all
requisite consent to enable Assignor to grant a security interest in such asset and, in any
event, immediately upon the ineffectiveness, lapse or termination of any such restriction,
the Collateral shall include, and Assignor shall be deemed to have granted a security
interest in, all such rights and interests as if such restriction had never been in effect;

act, require, demand, receive, compound and give acquittance for any and all moneys and claims for
moneys due or to become due to such Assignor under or arising out of the Collateral, to endorse any
checks or other instruments or orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or take any
action or institute any proceedings which the Collateral Agent may deem to be necessary or
advisable to protect the interests of the Secured Creditors, which appointment as attorney is
coupled with an interest.

to create, preserve and perfect the security interest granted by such Assignor to the
Collateral Agent hereby in respect of the Collateral will have been accomplished and the security
interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement in and to the Collateral will
create a perfected security interest therein prior to the rights of all other Persons therein and
subject to no other Liens (other than Permitted Liens) and will be entitled to all the rights,
priorities and benefits afforded by the Uniform Commercial Code or other relevant law as enacted in
any relevant jurisdiction to perfected security interests, in each case to the extent that the

a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in any relevant jurisdiction or
in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or in the United States Copyright Office.

     Section 2.2 No Liens. Such Assignor owns the Collateral purported to be owned by it
and otherwise has the rights it purports to have in each item of Collateral and, as to all
Collateral whether now existing or hereafter acquired, will continue to own or have such rights in
each item of the Collateral, in each case free and clear of any and all Liens, rights or claims of
all other Persons (other than Permitted Liens). Such Assignor shall defend the Collateral against
all claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming the same or any interest therein adverse
to the Collateral Agent.

     Section 2.3 Other Financing Statements. As of the date hereof, there is no financing
statement (or similar statement or instrument of registration under the law of any jurisdiction)
covering or purporting to cover any interest of any kind in the Collateral (other than financing
statements filed in respect of Permitted Liens), and so long as the Termination Date has not
occurred, such Assignor will not execute or authorize to be filed in any public office any
financing statement (or similar statement or instrument of registration under the law of any

filed in respect of and covering the security interests granted hereby by such Assignor or in
connection with Permitted Liens.

hereto or at such new locations as such Assignor may establish in accordance with the last sentence

continue to be, maintained at, and controlled and directed (including, without limitation, for
general accounting purposes) from, the office locations described above or such new location
established in accordance with the last sentence of this Section 2.4. No Assignor shall
establish new locations for such offices until (i) it shall have given to the Collateral Agent not

location and providing such other information in connection therewith as the Collateral Agent may
reasonably request, and (ii) with respect to such new location, it shall have taken all action

     Section 2.6 Location of Inventory and Equipment. All Inventory and Equipment held on
the date hereof by each Assignor is located at one of the locations shown on Annex C hereto
for such Assignor. Each Assignor agrees that all Inventory and Equipment now held or subsequently

Annex C hereto, or such new location as such Assignor may establish in accordance with the
last sentence of this Section 2.6. Any Assignor may establish a new location for Inventory
and Equipment only if (i) it shall have given to the Collateral Agent not less than 15 days’ prior
written notice of its intention to do so, clearly describing such new location and providing such
other information in connection therewith as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request and (ii)
with respect to such new location, it shall have taken all action reasonably satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent to maintain the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral
intended to be granted hereby at all times fully perfected and in full force and effect.

(including, without limitation, with full recourse to all assets of such Assignor) and pursuant to
and upon all the warranties, representations, covenants and agreements on the part of such Assignor
contained herein, in the other Secured Debt Agreements and otherwise in writing in connection
herewith or therewith.

     Section 2.8 Names, Trade Names; Change of Name. No Assignor has or operates in any
jurisdiction under, or in the preceding one year has had or has operated in any jurisdiction under,
any trade names, fictitious names or other names except its legal name and such other trade or

change its legal name or assume or operate in any jurisdiction under any trade, fictitious or other
name except those names listed on Annex D hereto for such Assignor and new names
established in accordance with the last sentence of this Section 2.8. No Assignor shall
assume or operate in any jurisdiction under any new trade, fictitious or other name until (i) it
shall have given to the Collateral Agent not less than 15 days’ prior written notice of its
intention to do so, clearly describing such new name and the jurisdictions in which such new name
shall be used and providing such other information in connection therewith as the Collateral Agent
may reasonably request and (ii) with respect to such new name, it shall have taken all action
reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to maintain the security interest of the Collateral
Agent in the Collateral intended to be granted hereby at all times fully perfected and in full
force and effect.

     Section 2.9 Investment Related Property. Annex H sets forth a complete list
of all Investment Related Property, including all Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts and
Commodities Accounts. Assignor has taken all actions necessary or desirable to: (a) establish the
Collateral Agent’s “control” (within the meaning of Section 9-106 of the Minnesota UCC) over any
portion of the Investment Related Property constituting Certificated Securities, Uncertificated
Securities, Securities Accounts, Securities Entitlements or Commodities Accounts; (b) establish
the Collateral Agent’s “control” (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the Minnesota UCC) over

Accounts); and (c) to deliver all Instruments to the Collateral Agent. Assignor will not
create or permit to exist any Securities Account or Deposit Account unless such Assignor shall have
executed and delivered to the Collateral Agent a Control Agreement in respect of such Securities
Account or Deposit Account, as the case may be. Such Assignor will not create or permit to exist
any Commodities Account unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise consent.

     Section 2.10 Non-Assignable Collateral. Neither the Non-Assignable Intellectual
Property nor the Non-Assignable Contracts are individually or collectively material to the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

ARTICLE III

SPECIAL PROVISIONS CONCERNING RECEIVABLES;

CONTRACT RIGHTS; INSTRUMENTS; CHATTEL PAPER

     Section 3.1 Additional Representations and Warranties. As of the time when each of
its Receivables arises, each Assignor shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such
Receivable, and all records, papers and documents relating thereto (if any) are genuine and what
they purport to be, and that all papers and documents (if any) relating thereto (i) will, to the
knowledge of such Assignor, represent the genuine legal, valid and binding obligation of the
account debtor evidencing indebtedness unpaid and owed by the respective account debtor arising out
of the performance of labor or services or the sale or lease and delivery of the inventory,
materials, equipment or merchandise listed therein, or both, and (ii) will, to the knowledge of
such Assignor, be in compliance and will conform in all material respects with all applicable
federal, state and local laws and applicable laws of any relevant foreign jurisdiction.

     Section 3.2 Maintenance of Records. Each Assignor will keep and maintain at its own
cost and expense accurate records of its Receivables and Contracts, including, but not limited to,
originals of all documentation (including each Contract) with respect thereto, records of all
payments received, all credits granted thereon, all merchandise returned and all other dealings
therewith, and such Assignor will make the same available on such Assignor’s premises to the
Collateral Agent for inspection, at such Assignor’s own cost and expense, at any and all reasonable
times upon prior notice to such Assignor. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default and at the request of the Collateral Agent, such Assignor shall, at its own cost
and expense, deliver all tangible evidence of its Receivables and Contract Rights (including,
without limitation, all documents evidencing the Receivables and all Contracts) and such books and
records to the Collateral Agent or to its representatives (copies of which evidence and books and
records may be retained by such Assignor). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default and if the Collateral Agent so directs, such Assignor shall legend, in form and
manner satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, the Receivables and the Contracts, as well as books,
records and documents (if any) of such Assignor evidencing or pertaining to such Receivables and
Contracts with an appropriate reference to the fact that such Receivables and Contracts have been
assigned to the Collateral Agent and that the Collateral Agent has a security interest therein.

     Section 3.3 Direction to Account Debtors; Contracting Parties; etc. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if the
Collateral Agent so directs any Assignor, such Assignor agrees (x) to cause all payments on account of the Receivables and
Contracts to be made directly to one or more Cash Collateral Accounts (as the Collateral Agent
shall so direct), (y) that the Collateral Agent may, at its option, directly notify the obligors
with respect to any Receivables and/or under any Contracts to make payments with respect thereto as
provided in the preceding clause (x), and (z) that the Collateral Agent may enforce collection of
any such Receivables and Contracts and may adjust, settle or compromise the amount of payment
thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Assignor. Without notice to or assent
by any Assignor, the Collateral Agent may, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, apply any or all amounts then in, or thereafter deposited in, the Cash Collateral
Accounts which application shall be effected in the manner provided in Section 7.4 of this
Agreement. The reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of collection,
whether incurred by an Assignor or the Collateral Agent, shall be borne by the relevant Assignor.
The Collateral Agent shall deliver a copy of each notice referred to in the preceding clause (y) to
the relevant Assignor, provided, that the failure by the Collateral Agent to so notify such
Assignor shall not affect the effectiveness of such notice or the other rights of the Collateral
Agent created by this Section 3.3.

     Section 3.4 Modification of Terms; etc. Except in accordance with such Assignor’s
ordinary course of business and consistent with reasonable business judgment, no Assignor shall
rescind or cancel any indebtedness evidenced by any Receivable or under any Contract, or modify any
term thereof or make any adjustment with respect thereto, or extend or renew the same, or
compromise or settle any material dispute, claim, suit or legal proceeding relating thereto, or
sell any Receivable or Contract, or interest therein, without the prior written consent of the
Collateral Agent. No Assignor will do anything to impair the rights of the Collateral Agent in the
Receivables or Contracts.

     Section 3.5 Collection. Each Assignor shall endeavor in accordance with reasonable
business practices to cause to be collected from the account debtor named in each of its
Receivables or obligor under any Contract, as and when due (including, without limitation, amounts
which are delinquent, such amounts to be collected in accordance with generally accepted lawful
collection procedures) any and all amounts owing under or on account of such Receivable or
Contract, and apply forthwith upon receipt thereof all such amounts as are so collected to the
outstanding balance of such Receivable or under such Contract, except as otherwise directed by the
Collateral Agent after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, any
Assignor may allow in the ordinary course of business as adjustments to amounts owing under its
Receivables and Contracts (i) an extension or renewal of the time or times of payment, or
settlement for less than the total unpaid balance, which such Assignor finds appropriate in
accordance with reasonable business judgment and (ii) a refund or credit due as a result of
returned or damaged merchandise or improperly performed services or for other reasons which such
Assignor finds appropriate in accordance with reasonable business judgment. The reasonable costs

designated by the Collateral Agent and there delivered to the Collateral
Agent;

     (y) store and keep any Collateral so delivered to the Collateral Agent

     (vi) license or sublicense, whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any
Marks, Patents, Copyrights or Proprietary Information included in the Collateral for
such term and on such conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall in

it being understood that each Assignor’s obligation so to deliver the Collateral is of the essence
of this Agreement and that, accordingly, upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction,
the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by such Assignor
of said obligation. By accepting the benefits of this Agreement, the Secured Creditors agree that
this Agreement may be enforced only by the action of the Collateral Agent acting upon the

     Section 7.2 Remedies; Disposition of the Collateral. If any Event of Default shall

pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof and any other Collateral whether or not so repossessed by
the Collateral Agent, may be sold, assigned, leased or otherwise disposed of under one or more
contracts or as an entirety, and without the necessity of gathering at the place of sale the
property to be sold, and in general in such manner, at such time or times, at such place or places
and on such terms as the Collateral Agent may, in compliance with any mandatory requirements of
applicable law, determine to be commercially reasonable. Any of the Collateral may be sold, leased
or otherwise disposed of, in the condition in which the same existed when taken by the Collateral
Agent or after any overhaul or repair at the expense of the relevant Assignor which the Collateral
Agent shall determine to be commercially reasonable. Any such disposition which shall be a private
sale or other private proceedings permitted by such requirements shall be made upon not less than
10 days’ prior written notice to the relevant Assignor specifying the time at which such
disposition is to be made and the intended sale price or other consideration therefor, and shall be

subject, for the 10 days after the giving of such notice, to the right of the relevant
Assignor or any nominee of such Assignor to acquire the Collateral involved at a price or for such
other consideration at least equal to the intended sale price or other consideration so specified.

not less than 10 days’ prior written notice to the relevant Assignor specifying the time and place
of such sale and, in the absence of applicable requirements of law, shall be by public auction

Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause
the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the
sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the sale may be so adjourned. To the
extent permitted by any such requirement of law, the Collateral Agent may bid for and become the
purchaser of the Collateral or any item thereof, offered for sale in accordance with this Section
without accountability to the relevant Assignor. If, under mandatory requirements of applicable
law, the Collateral Agent shall be required to make disposition of the Collateral within a period
of time which does not permit the giving of notice to the relevant Assignor as hereinabove
specified, the Collateral Agent need give such Assignor only such notice of disposition as shall be
reasonably practicable in view of such mandatory requirements of applicable law. Each Assignor
agrees to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary to
make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Collateral valid and binding and in compliance
with any and all applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any
and all courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having
jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at such Assignor’s expense.

requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights
hereunder; and

     (iii) “Secondary Obligations” shall mean all Obligations other than
Primary Obligations.

     (c) When payments to Secured Creditors are based upon their respective Pro Rata Shares,
the amounts received by such Secured Creditors hereunder shall be applied (for purposes of
making determinations under this Section 7.4 only) (i) first, to their Primary
Obligations and (ii) second, to their Secondary Obligations. If any payment to any Secured
Creditor of its Pro Rata Share of any distribution would result in overpayment to such
Secured Creditor, such excess amount shall instead be distributed in respect of the unpaid
Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, of the other Secured
Creditors, with each Secured Creditor whose Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as
the case may be, have not been paid in full to receive an amount equal to such excess amount
multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the unpaid Primary Obligations or
Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, of such Secured Creditor and the denominator of
which is the unpaid Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, of all
Secured Creditors entitled to such distribution.

     (d) Each of the Secured Creditors, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees
and acknowledges that if the Lender Creditors are to receive a distribution on account of
undrawn amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued under the Credit Agreement (which
shall only occur after all outstanding Loans and Unpaid Drawings with respect to such
Letters of Credit have been paid in full), such amounts shall be paid to the Administrative
Agent under the Credit Agreement and held by it, for the equal and ratable benefit of the
Lender Creditors, as cash security for the repayment of Obligations owing to the Lender
Creditors as such. If any amounts are held as cash security pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence, then upon the termination of all outstanding Letters of Credit, and
after the application of all such cash security to the repayment of all Obligations owing to
the Lender Creditors after giving effect to the termination of all such Letters of Credit,
if there remains any excess cash, such excess cash shall be returned by the Administrative
Agent to the Collateral Agent for distribution in accordance with Section 7.4(a)
hereof.

     (e) All payments required to be made hereunder shall be made (x) if to the Lender
Creditors, to the Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement for the account of the
Lender Creditors, and (y) if to the Other Creditors, to the trustee, paying agent or other
similar representative (each a “Representative”) for the Other Creditors or, in the
absence of such a Representative, directly to the Other Creditors.

     (f) For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with this Section
7.4, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon (i) the Administrative Agent
under the Credit Agreement and (ii) the Representative for the Other Creditors or, in the
absence of such a Representative, upon the Other Creditors for a determination (which the
Administrative Agent, each Representative for any Other Creditors and the Secured Creditors
agree (or shall agree) to provide upon request of the Collateral Agent) of the outstanding
Primary Obligations and Secondary Obligations owed to the Lender Creditors or the Other
Creditors, as the case may be. Unless it has actual knowledge (including by way of written
notice from a Lender Creditor or an Other Creditor) to the contrary, the Administrative
Agent and each Representative, in furnishing information pursuant to the preceding sentence,
and the Collateral Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Secondary
Obligations are outstanding. Unless it has actual knowledge (including by way of written
notice from an Other Creditor) to the contrary, the Collateral Agent, in acting hereunder,
shall be entitled to assume that no Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Other Hedging
Agreements are in existence.

     (g) It is understood that the Assignors shall remain jointly and severally liable to
the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the
aggregate amount of the Obligations.

          Section 7.5 Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and remedy hereby
specifically given to the Collateral Agent shall be in addition to every other right, power and
remedy specifically given under this Agreement, the other Secured Debt Agreements or now or
hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute and each and every right, power and remedy
whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time or
simultaneously and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Collateral Agent.
All such rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and the exercise or the beginning of the
exercise of one shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise any other or others. No
delay or omission of the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any such right, power or remedy and no
renewal or extension of any of the Obligations shall impair any such right, power or remedy or
shall be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.
No notice to or demand on any Assignor in any case shall entitle it to any other or further notice
or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the
Collateral Agent to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. In
the event that the Collateral Agent shall bring any suit to enforce any of its rights hereunder and
shall be entitled to judgment, then in such suit the Collateral Agent may recover reasonable
expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the amounts thereof shall be included in such
judgment.

          Section 7.6 Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Collateral Agent shall have
instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by
foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or
abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Collateral Agent, then and
in every such case the relevant Assignor, the Collateral Agent and each holder of any of the
Obligations shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the
Collateral subject to the security interest created under this Agreement, and all rights, remedies
and powers of the Collateral Agent shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.

          Section 10.8 Termination; Release

     (a) After the Termination Date, this Agreement shall terminate (provided that all
indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Section 8.1 hereof
shall survive such termination) and the Collateral Agent, at the request and expense of the
respective Assignor, will promptly execute and deliver to such Assignor a proper instrument
or instruments (including Uniform Commercial Code termination statements on form UCC-3)
acknowledging the satisfaction and termination of this Agreement, and will duly assign,
transfer and deliver to such Assignor (without recourse and without any representation or
warranty) such of the Collateral as may be in the possession of the Collateral Agent and as
has not theretofore been sold or otherwise applied or released pursuant to this Agreement.
As used in this Agreement, “Termination Date” shall mean the date upon which the
Total Commitment and all Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Other Hedging Agreements
have been terminated, no Note is outstanding (and all Loans have been repaid in full), all
Letters of Credit have been terminated and all Obligations then due and payable have been
paid in full.

     (b) In the event that any part of the Collateral is sold in connection with a sale
permitted by Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement (other than a sale to any Assignor or a
Subsidiary thereof) or otherwise released at the direction of the Required Secured Creditors
and the proceeds of such sale or sales or from such release are applied in accordance with
the provisions of the Credit Agreement, to the extent required to be so applied, such
Collateral will be sold free and clear of the Liens created by this Agreement and the
Collateral Agent, at the request and expense of the relevant Assignor, will duly and
promptly assign, transfer and deliver to such Assignor (without recourse and without any
representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as is then being (or has been) so sold or
released and as may be in the possession of the Collateral Agent and has not theretofore
been released pursuant to this Agreement.

     (c) At any time that an Assignor desires that the Collateral Agent take any action to
acknowledge or give effect to any release of Collateral pursuant to the foregoing
Section 10.8(a) or (b), such Assignor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent
a certificate signed by a senior officer of such Assignor stating that the release of the
respective Collateral is permitted pursuant to Section 10.8(a) or (b).

          Section 10.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the
same instrument. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with
each Assignor and the Collateral Agent.

          Section 10.10 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which 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.
