          AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of February 20, 2007, by and among
METROPCS WIRELESS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the several banks and
other financial institutions or entities from time to time parties to this Agreement (the
“Lenders”), BEAR, STEARNS & CO. INC. (“Bear”), as sole lead arranger (in such
capacity, the “Lead Arranger”) and joint book runner, BEAR STEARNS CORPORATE LENDING INC.,
as syndication agent (in such capacity, the “Syndication Agent”), MERRILL LYNCH, PIERCE,
FENNER & SMITH INCORPORATED (“ML”), as joint book runner, BANC OF AMERICA SECURITIES LLC
(“BAS”), as joint book runner, BEAR STEARNS CORPORATE LENDING INC., as administrative agent
(in such capacity and together with its successors in such capacity, the “Administrative
Agent”) and Bank of America, N.A., as issuing lender (in such capacity and together with its
successors in such capacity, the “Issuing Lender”). Bear, ML and BAS are collectively
referred to herein as the “Joint Book Runners”.

          WHEREAS, on November 3, 2006 the Borrower, certain of the Lenders, and Bear Stearns Corporate
Lending Inc., as administrative agent, among others, entered into a Credit Agreement (the
“Original Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which (a) certain of the Lenders thereunder
agreed to extend credit to the Borrower on a revolving credit basis, in the aggregate principal
amount of up to One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) and (b) certain of the Lenders
thereunder (the “Original Term Lenders”) made term loans to the Borrower on the Closing
Date in an aggregate principal amount of One Billion Six Hundred Million Dollars ($1,600,000,000),
of which One Billion Five Hundred Ninety Six Million Dollars ($1,596,000,000) is outstanding on the
Restatement Date (the “Original Term Loans”).

          WHEREAS, the Borrower desires that certain of the Lenders and the other parties hereto agree
to amend and restate the Original Credit Agreement in its entirety to: (i) establish Term Loans to
be extended hereunder and (ii) make certain other changes as more fully set forth herein, which
amendment and restatement shall become effective upon the Restatement Date.

          WHEREAS, pursuant to the final paragraph of Section 11.1 of the Original Credit Agreement and
pursuant to the signatures of the Lenders on their signature pages or Addenda hereto, as
applicable, constituting at least the Required Lenders, the Lenders have authorized the
Administrative Agent to execute this Agreement.

          WHEREAS, the Borrower shall deliver notices to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the
terms of Section 4.1 of the Credit Agreement stating the Borrower’s intent to optionally prepay the
Original Terms Loans outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement, contingent upon the
Borrower’s receipt (or deemed receipt) of the proceeds of the Tranche B Term Loans on the
Restatement Date.

          WHEREAS, the Original Term Lenders party hereto have agreed to extend Tranche B Term Loans
hereunder in the amounts of their respective Tranche B Term Commitments in accordance with Section
2.1, the proceeds of which shall be deemed to optionally prepay the Original Term Loans of such
Original Term Lenders on the Restatement Date.

 

 

          WHEREAS, it is the intent of the parties hereto that this Agreement not constitute a novation
of the obligations and liabilities of the parties under the Original Credit Agreement and that this
Agreement amend and restate in its entirety the Original Credit Agreement.

          NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS

          1.1. Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the terms listed in this Section 1.1 shall
have the respective meanings set forth in this Section 1.1.

          “Acquisition”: a transaction or multiple transactions in which any entity acquires or
proposes to acquire by purchase or otherwise all of the capital stock of any Person, more than 50%
of the total voting power of shares of stock to vote in elections of Persons or any Person having
the power to direct or cause the direction of management and policies thereof, all or substantially
all of the assets of any Person, or any division of any Person, or any “business” as defined for
purposes of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act.

          “Addendum”: an instrument, substantially in the form of Exhibit I, by which a
Revolving Lender became a party to this Agreement on the Closing Date, or by which a Tranche B Term
Lender becomes a party to this Agreement as of the Restatement Date.

          “Adjustment Date”: as defined in the Pricing Grid.

          “Administrative Agent”: as defined in the preamble to this Agreement.

          “Affiliate”: as applied to any Person, any other Person directly or indirectly
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, that Person. For the purposes of this
definition, “control” (including, with correlative meanings, the terms “controlling”, “controlled
by” and “under common control with”), as applied to any Person, means the possession, directly or
indirectly, of the power (i) to vote 20% or more of the Capital Stock having ordinary voting power
for the election of directors of such Person or (ii) to direct or cause the direction of the
management and policies of that Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities or by
contract or otherwise; provided that Bear Stearns Corporate Lending Inc. and its Affiliates shall
not be deemed (by reason of ownership of any Capital Stock) to be an Affiliate of the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries.

          “Agents”: the collective reference to the Syndication Agent, the Joint Book Runners,
the Lead Arranger and the Administrative Agent, which term shall include, for the purposes of
Section 10 only, the Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender.

          “Aggregate Exposure”: with respect to any Lender at any time, an amount equal to the
sum of (a) with respect to Term Loans, (i) until the Restatement Date, the aggregate amount of such
Lender’s Tranche B Term Commitments at such time and (ii) thereafter, the aggregate then unpaid principal amount of such Lender’s Term Loans and (b) the amount of such

2

 

Lender’s Revolving Commitment then in effect or, if the Revolving Commitments have been terminated,
the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Extensions of Credit then outstanding.

          “Aggregate Exposure Percentage”: with respect to any Lender at any time, the ratio
(expressed as a percentage) of such Lender’s Aggregate Exposure at such time to the Aggregate
Exposure of all Lenders at such time.

          “Agreement”: this Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time.

          “Applicable Margin”: for each Type of Loan, the rate per annum set forth under the
relevant column heading below:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Eurodollar Loans	 	Base Rate Loans
	Revolving Loans
	 	 	2.500	%	 	 	1.500	%
	Swingline Loans
	 	 	N/A	 	 	 	1.500	%
	Term Loans (other than Other Term
Loans)
	 	 	2.250	%	 	 	1.250	%

          ; provided, that, on and after the first Adjustment Date (as defined in the Pricing Grid)
after the Closing Date, when no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the
Applicable Margin with respect to Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans will be determined pursuant
to the Pricing Grid.

          “Applicable Reserve Requirement”: at any time for any Eurodollar Loan, the maximum
rate, expressed as a decimal, at which reserves (including, without limitation, any basic marginal,
special, supplemental, emergency or other reserves) are required to be maintained with respect
thereto against “Eurocurrency liabilities” (as such term is defined in Regulation D) under
regulations issued from time to time by the Board or other applicable banking regulator. Without
limiting the effect of the foregoing, the Applicable Reserve Requirement shall reflect any other
reserves required to be maintained by member banks with respect to (i) any category of liabilities
which includes deposits by reference to which the applicable Eurodollar Rate or any other interest
rate of a Eurodollar Loan is to be determined, or (ii) any category of extensions of credit or
other assets which include Eurodollar Loans. A Eurodollar Loan shall be deemed to constitute
Eurocurrency liabilities and as such shall be deemed subject to reserve requirements without
benefits of credit for proration, exceptions or offsets that may be available from time to time to
the applicable Lender. The rate of interest on Eurodollar Loans shall be adjusted automatically on
and as of the effective date of any change in the Applicable Reserve Requirement.

          “Application”: an application, in such form as the Issuing Lender may specify from
time to time, requesting the Issuing Lender to issue a Letter of Credit.

          “Approved Fund”: (a) a CLO and (b) with respect to any Lender that is a fund that
invests in commercial loans, any other fund that invests in commercial loans and is managed

3

 

or advised by the same investment advisor as such Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment
advisor.

          “Asset Acquisition” means: (a) an Investment by the Borrower or any of its
Consolidated Subsidiaries in any other Person pursuant to which such Person shall become a
Consolidated Subsidiary of the Borrower or shall be merged into or consolidated with the Borrower
or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries but only if (x) such Person’s primary business would be
permitted under this Agreement if it were a business of the Borrower or any of its Consolidated
Subsidiaries and (y) the financial condition and results of operations of such Person are not
already consolidated with those of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries immediately prior
to such Investment, or (b) an acquisition by the Borrower or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries
of the property and assets of any Person other than the Borrower or any of its Consolidated
Subsidiaries that constitute all or substantially all of a division, operating unit or line of
business of such Person but only (x) if the property and assets so acquired constitute a business
that would be permitted under this Agreement if it were a business of the Borrower or any of its
Consolidated Subsidiaries and (y) the financial condition and results of operations of such Person
are not already consolidated with those of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries
immediately prior to such acquisition.

SECTION 2. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF

TERM COMMITMENTS; INCREMENTAL FACILITIES

          2.1. Term Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof:

          (a) Each Tranche B Term Lender severally agrees to make (or be deemed to have made) a term
loan to the Borrower in Dollars (each, a “Tranche B Term Loan”) on the Restatement Date in
the amount of the Tranche B Term Commitment of such Tranche B Term Lender. The Term Loans may from
time to time be Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to
the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 4.3.

          (b) Each of the Continuing Lenders agrees that the Original Term Loans made by such Continuing
Lender under the Original Credit Agreement shall remain outstanding on and after the Restatement
Date as Tranche B Term Loans made pursuant to this Agreement, and shall be deemed to constitute
Tranche B Term Loans made in satisfaction of its obligation to make Tranche B Term Loans on the
Restatement Date in accordance with Section 2.1(a) in an amount equal to the amount of such
Original Term Loans. Such Original Term Loans shall on and after the Restatement Date have all of
the rights and benefits of Tranche B Term Loans as set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all such Tranche B Term Loans deemed
so made hereunder on the Restatement Date pursuant to this Section 2.1 that are Eurodollar Loans
will have initial Interest Periods ending on the same dates as the Interest Periods applicable on
the Restatement Date to the Original Term Loans of such Continuing Lenders.

          2.2. Procedure for Tranche B Term Loan Borrowing.

          (a) Not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Restatement Date each Tranche B Term
Lender that is not a Continuing Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the
Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the Tranche B Term Loan to be made
by such Tranche B Term Lender. The Administrative
Agent shall promptly make available to the Borrower on the Restatement Date, by wire transfer
of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by the Borrower, the
aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Tranche B Term Lenders
in immediately available funds.

          (b) On the Restatement Date, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
definition of Interest Periods, Interest Periods with respect to the Tranche B

40

 

Term Loans shall be
as follows: (i) Tranche B Term Loans shall be made, or deemed made, as Eurodollar Loans in an
amount equal to the amount of the Original Term Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans (such
Tranche B Term Loans to correspond in amount to Original Term Loans of a given Interest Period),
(ii) Interest Periods for the Tranche B Term Loans described in clause (i) above shall end on the
same dates as the Interest Periods applicable for the corresponding Original Term Loans described
in clause (i) above, and the Eurodollar Rates applicable to such Tranche B Term Loans during such
Interest Periods shall be the same as those applicable to such Original Term Loans, (iii) Tranche B
Term Loans shall be made or deemed made as Base Rate Loans in amount equal to the amount of
Original Term Loans then outstanding as Base Rate Loan, and (iv) Borrower will not be required to
make any payments under Section 4.11 of the Original Credit Agreement to Original Term Lenders that
become Tranche B Term Lenders in connection with the exchange of their Original Term Loans for
Tranche B Term Loans, except to the extent that any Tranche B Term Lender’s Tranche B Term Loans
are less than such Tranche B Term Lender’s Original Term Loans (such amount, a “Non-Renewed
Tranche B Term Loan”), in which case the Borrower shall be required to make payments under
Section 4.11 of the Original Credit Agreement to each applicable Tranche B Term Lender based on the
amount of such Tranche B Term Lender’s Non-Renewed Tranche B Term Loan.

          2.3. Repayment of Term Loans. The Tranche B Term Loan of each Tranche B Lender shall
mature in 27 consecutive quarterly installments, commencing on March 31, 2007, each of which shall
be in an amount equal to (a) such Lender’s Tranche B Term Percentage multiplied by the initial
aggregate principal amount of the Original Term Loans multiplied by (b) 0.25%, with the remainder
due on the Term Loan Maturity Date, each such installment being subject to any reduction pursuant
to Section 4.2(c). In the event that any Incremental Term Loans (including Other Term Loans) are
made, the Incremental Term Loan of each Incremental Lender shall not amortize unless specifically
stated in an Incremental Commitment Agreement.

          2.4. Increase in Commitments. (a) The Borrower may request (in writing) Incremental
Commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed, in the aggregate, $750,000,000, in increments of
no less than $75,000,000 (or such lesser amount if the remaining available Incremental Commitment
pursuant to this Section 2.4 is less than $75,000,000) at any one time, from one or more
Incremental Lenders (approved by the Administrative Agent if such Incremental Lender is not already
a Revolving Lender and is to be a Revolving Lender after the effective date of the applicable
Incremental Commitment Agreement) willing to provide such Incremental Commitments. Requests for
such Incremental Commitments may be, at the Borrower’s option,
for Incremental Revolving Loans (at any time prior to the Revolving Termination Date) and/or
Incremental Term Loans. In the event the Borrower shall request Incremental Term Loans, such
request shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Term Loans being requested, (ii) the date
on which such Incremental Term Loans are requested to be made, (iii) any requested differences
between the Incremental Term Loans and the existing Term Loans (which shall not be effective until
set forth in an executed Incremental Commitment Agreement executed by the Group Members and each
applicable Incremental Lender), provided, that in any event (A) the Weighted Average Life to
Maturity of all Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to
Maturity of the Tranche B Term Loans at the time of the borrowing of such Incremental Term Loan,
and (B) the Maturity Date of any

41

 

Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the final maturity
of the Tranche B Term Loans, and (iv) whether such Incremental Term Loans are to have the same
interest rate margin as the Tranche B Term Loans or whether such Incremental Term Loans are to
have a different interest rate margin than the Tranche B Term Loans (“Other Term Loans”);
provided, that, if the interest rate margin in respect of any Other Term Loan exceeds the
Applicable Margin for the Tranche B Term Loans (it being understood that any such increase may take
the form of original issue discount (“OID”), with OID being equated to the interest rates
in a manner determined by the Administrative Agent based on an assumed four-year life to maturity),
such Applicable Margin shall be increased so that the interest rate margin in respect of such Other
Term Loan (giving effect to any OID issued in connection with such Other Term Loan) is no higher
than the Applicable Margin for the Tranche B Term Loans. All Incremental Term Loans (including
Other Term Loans) shall be made on substantially identical terms as the Tranche B Term Loans,
except as set forth in any applicable Incremental Commitment Agreement, and, in the case of Other
Term Loans, with respect to the interest rate margin applicable thereto. No Agent or Lender shall
be obligated to deliver or fund any Incremental Commitment. The Borrower may borrow under the
Incremental Commitments only five times during the term of this Agreement.

          (b) No Incremental Commitment shall be effective unless the Borrower delivers to the
Administrative Agent an Incremental Commitment Agreement executed and delivered by the Loan Parties
and the proposed Incremental Lenders and such other documentation relating thereto as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably request. Each Incremental Commitment Agreement shall, upon due
execution, constitute a Loan Document and, to the extent set forth therein, an amendment of this
Agreement, and such amendment shall be effective when and as set forth therein and need not be
executed, delivered or consented to by any other Agent or Lender. In addition, each of the parties
hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Commitment Agreements, this
Agreement shall be amended automatically to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to
reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Term Loans. Any such amendment may be
memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent with the Borrower’s consent (not to be
unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto.

          (c) The terms and provisions of any Incremental Revolving Loans shall be identical to the
Revolving Loans. On any date on which Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments are effected, subject
to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions in this Section 2.4, (i) each of the Revolving
Lenders shall assign to each of the Incremental Lenders with an Incremental Revolving Loan
Commitment, and each of the Incremental Lenders shall purchase from each of the Revolving Lenders,
at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued
interest), such interests in the Revolving Loans outstanding on such date as shall be
necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving
Loans will be held by existing Revolving Lenders and Incremental Lenders ratably in accordance with
their Revolving Loan Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such Incremental Revolving
Loan Commitments to the existing Revolving Loan Commitments, (ii) each Incremental Revolving Loan
Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Loan Commitment and each Incremental
Revolving Loan made thereunder shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan and (iii) each
Incremental Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment
and all matters relating thereto.

42

 

          (d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender whenever any Incremental
Commitment becomes effective.

          (e) No Incremental Commitment Agreement shall become effective unless the Administrative Agent
has received (i) a certificate executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower to the effect that
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) such additional Security
Documents, legal opinions, board resolutions, certificates and other documentation as may be
required by such Incremental Commitment Agreement or reasonably requested by the Administrative
Agent.

          (f) Each Incremental Commitment Agreement shall contain representations and warranties by the
Borrower substantially in the form of those made by the Borrower in this Agreement, except for any
exceptions, disclosures or modifications reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the
Borrower and the Incremental Lender(s) making a Loan pursuant to such Incremental Commitment
Agreement.

requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or (b) one Business Day prior to the
requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Base Rate Loans) (provided that any such notice of a
borrowing of Base Rate Loans to finance payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.5 may be
given not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the date of the proposed borrowing),
specifying (i) the amount and Type of Revolving Loans to be borrowed, (ii) the requested

$1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Revolving Commitments
are less than $1,000,000, such lesser amount) and (y) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, $5,000,000
or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided, that (x) the Swingline Lender may
request, on behalf of the Borrower, borrowings under the Revolving Commitments that are Base Rate
Loans in other amounts pursuant to Section 3.4 and (y) borrowings of Base Rate Loans pursuant to
Section 3.11 shall not be subject to the foregoing minimum amounts. Upon receipt of any such
notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender
thereof. Each Revolving Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing
available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Funding Office prior
to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds
immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to
the Borrower on such Borrowing Date by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the
Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the
Administrative Agent by the Revolving Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative
Agent.

          3.3. Swingline Commitment.

          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender agrees to make a portion
of the credit otherwise available to the Borrower under the Revolving Commitments from time to time
during the Revolving Commitment Period by making swing line loans (“Swingline Loans”) to
the Borrower; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at
any time shall not exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect (notwithstanding that the
Swingline Loans outstanding at any time, when aggregated with the Swingline Lender’s other
outstanding Revolving Loans hereunder, may exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect) and (ii)
the Borrower shall not request, and the Swingline Lender shall not make, any Swingline Loan if,
after giving effect to the making of such Swingline Loan, the aggregate amount of the Available
Revolving Commitments would be less than zero. During the Revolving Commitment Period, the
Borrower may use the Swingline Commitment by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance
with the terms and conditions hereof. Swingline Loans shall be Base Rate Loans only.

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

          3.4. Procedure for Swingline Borrowing; Refunding of Swingline Loans.

          (a) Whenever the Borrower desires that the Swingline Lender make Swingline Loans it shall give
the Swingline Lender irrevocable telephonic notice confirmed promptly in writing (which telephonic
notice must be received by the Swingline Lender not later
than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date), specifying (i) the amount
to be borrowed and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day during the
Revolving Commitment Period). Each borrowing under the Swingline Commitment shall be in an amount
equal to $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Not later than 3:00 P.M., New
York City time, on the Borrowing Date specified in a notice in respect of Swingline Loans, the
Swingline Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at

44

 

the Funding Office an amount
in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the Swingline Loan to be made by the
Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan
available to the Borrower on such Borrowing Date by depositing such proceeds in the account of the
Borrower with the Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date in immediately available funds.

          (b) The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute
discretion may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lender to
act on its behalf), on one Business Day’s notice given by the Swingline Lender no later than 12:00
Noon, New York City time, request each Revolving Lender to make, and each Revolving Lender hereby
agrees to make, a Revolving Loan, in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving
Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”)
outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swingline Lender. Each Revolving Lender shall
make the amount of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office
in immediately available funds, not later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, one Business Day
after the date of such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately made
available by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender for application by the Swingline
Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the
Swingline Lender to charge the Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative Agent (up to the amount
available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the amount of such Refunded Swingline
Loans to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full
such Refunded Swingline Loans.

          (c) If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section
3.4(b), one of the events described in Section 9(f) or 9(g) shall have occurred and be continuing
with respect to the Borrower or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swingline Lender in
its sole discretion, Revolving Loans may not be made as contemplated by Section 3.4(b), each
Revolving Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made pursuant to the
notice referred to in Section 3.4(b) (the “Refunding Date”), purchase for cash an undivided
participating interest in the then outstanding Swingline Loans by paying to the Swingline Lender an
amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such Revolving Lender’s
Revolving Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline
Loans then outstanding that were to have been repaid with such Revolving Loans.

          (d) Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Revolving Lender
such Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account
of the Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swingline
Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the
period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in
the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such
Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to
pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided, however, that in the
event that such payment received by the Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving
Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the
Swingline Lender.

45

 

          (e) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 3.4(b) and to
purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 3.4(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment,
defense or other right that such Revolving Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swingline
Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or
continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other
conditions specified in Section 6; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or
otherwise) of the Borrower; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the
Borrower, any other Group Member or any other Revolving Lender; or (v) any other circumstance,
happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

          3.5. Commitment Fees, etc.

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

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

          (c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Lead Arranger the fees in the amounts and on the dates
previously agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Lead Arranger.

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

          3.7. L/C Commitment.

          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender, in reliance on the
agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in Section 3.10(a), agrees to issue letters of
credit (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day during the
Revolving Commitment Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing
Lender; provided that the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if,
after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C

46

 

Commitment or
(ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero. Each
Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars, (ii) have a face amount of at least $5,000
(unless otherwise agreed by the Issuing Lender) and (iii) expire no later than the earlier of (x)
the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date that is five Business Days prior to
the Revolving Termination Date, provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide
for the auto extension thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend
beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above). On the Restatement Date, the Existing Letters of
Credit will automatically, without any action of any Person, be deemed to be Letters of Credit
issued hereunder for the account of the Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents.

          (b) The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit
hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant
to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.

          (c) The Issuing Lender shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

               (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by
its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of
Credit, or any Governmental Requirement 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 any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense
which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the Issuing Lender in good faith
deems material to it; or

               (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the
Issuing Lender applicable to all letters of credit issued by the Issuing Lender.

          3.8. Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. The Borrower may from time to time
request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuing Lender at its
address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, with a copy to the Administrative
Agent, completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents
and other papers and information as the Issuing Lender may request. Upon receipt of any
Application, the Issuing Lender will notify
the Administrative Agent of the amount, the beneficiary and the requested expiration of the
requested Letter of Credit, and upon receipt of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that
after giving effect to the requested issuance, the Available Revolving Commitments would not be
less than zero, the Issuing Lender will process such Application delivered to it in connection
therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit
requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of
Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor) by issuing
the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to
by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of
Credit to the Borrower

47

 

(with a copy to the Administrative Agent) promptly following the issuance
thereof. The Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in
turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including
the amount thereof).

          3.9. Fees and Other Charges.

          (a) The Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent a fee on all outstanding Letters of
Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar
Loans under the Revolving Facility, shared ratably among the Revolving Lenders and payable
quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In addition, the
Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee on the undrawn and
unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit as agreed by the Borrower and the Issuing Lender, payable
quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the Issuance Date. Any fees paid for
Existing Letters of Credit will automatically, without any action by any Person, be deemed paid for
Letters of Credit issued hereunder.

          (b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender
for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender
in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of
Credit; provided, however, that no costs or expenses shall be payable for conversion of the
Existing Letters of Credit to Letters of Credit issued hereunder.

          3.10. L/C Participations.

          (a) The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant,
and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant
irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender,
on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an
undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage in the Issuing Lender’s
obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the
amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally
and irrevocably agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit
for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the
Administrative Agent upon demand of the Issuing Lender an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s
Revolving Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed.
The Administrative Agent shall promptly forward such amounts to the Issuing Lender.

          (b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.10(a) in respect of any unreimbursed
portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the
date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times
(ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date
such payment is required to the date on which such payment

48

 

is immediately available to the Issuing
Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such
period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C
Participant pursuant to Section 3.10(a) is not made available to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date
such payment is due, the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on
demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum
applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Facility. A certificate of the Issuing Lender
submitted to any L/C Participant (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts
owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

          (c) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit
and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in
accordance with Section 3.10(a), the Administrative Agent receives any payment related to such
Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral
applied thereto by the Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the
Administrative Agent, will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share
thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by Administrative
Agent, shall be required to be returned by the Administrative Agent, such L/C Participant shall
return to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender the portion thereof
previously distributed by the Administrative Agent.

          3.11. Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the
Issuing Lender on the Business Day next succeeding the Business Day on which the Issuing Lender
notifies the Borrower of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit and
paid by the Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees,
charges or other actual out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in
connection with such payment. Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing Lender at its address
for notices referred to herein in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be
payable on any such amounts from the date on which the relevant draft is paid until payment in full
at the rate set forth in (i) until the Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant
notice, Section 4.5(b) and (ii)
thereafter, Section 4.5(c). Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an event of
the type described in Section 9(f) or 9(g) shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the
procedures specified in Section 3.10 for funding by L/C Participants shall apply) constitute a
request by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing pursuant to Section 3.2 of Base
Rate Loans (or, at the option of the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender in their sole
discretion, a borrowing pursuant to Section 3.4 of Swingline Loans) in the amount of such drawing.
The Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the first date on which a borrowing of
Revolving Loans (or, if applicable, Swingline Loans) could be made, pursuant to Section 3.2 or, if
applicable, Section 3.4), if the Administrative Agent had received a notice of such borrowing at
the time the Administrative Agent receives notice from the Issuing Lender of such drawing under
such Letter of Credit.

          3.12. Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under Section 3.11 shall be absolute
and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or
defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against the

49

 

Issuing Lender, any
beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with the Issuing
Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement
Obligations under Section 3.11 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or
genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact
prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any
beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be
transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of
Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission,
interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however
transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a
final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees that any action
taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the
related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and
in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of
New York, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing
Lender to the Borrower.

          3.13. Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any
Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower in
connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to
any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining
that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with
such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

          3.14. Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is
inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.

SECTION 4. GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

          4.1. Optional Prepayments.

          (a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans in whole or in part,
without premium or penalty, except as otherwise provided in the first sentence of Section 4.1(b),
(“Optional Prepayment”) upon notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than
12:00 Noon, New York City time, three Business Days prior thereto in the case of Eurodollar Loans
and no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, one Business Day prior thereto in the case of
Base Rate Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the
prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans; provided, that if a Eurodollar Loan is
prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower
shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.11. Upon receipt of any such notice the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. Partial prepayments of
Term Loans and Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole
multiple thereof. Partial prepayments of

50

 

Swingline Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount
of $100,000 or a whole multiple thereof.

          (b) Each Optional Prepayment in respect of the Tranche B Term Loans on or after the
Restatement Date but prior to the first anniversary of the Restatement Date shall be accompanied by
a prepayment premium equal to 1% of the principal amount of such Optional Prepayment. No
prepayment premium shall be payable with respect to any Optional Prepayment on or after the first
anniversary of the Restatement Date.

          4.2. Mandatory Offers to Prepay . (a) If any Indebtedness (other than Excluded
Indebtedness) shall be issued or incurred by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor, Borrower
shall make an offer pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 4.2(d) to prepay the Term Loans in
an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Indebtedness and such prepayment shall be
applied as set forth in Section 4.2(c) toward the prepayment of the Term Loans within ten Business
Days after receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds.

          (b) If on any date the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall receive Net Cash Proceeds
from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in
respect thereof, such Borrower shall make an offer pursuant to the terms set forth in Section
4.2(d) to prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset
Sale or Recovery Event and such prepayment shall be applied as set forth in Section 4.2(c) toward
the prepayment of the Term Loans within ten Business Days after receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds;
provided, that, on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an
amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment
Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 4.2(c).

          (c) Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to Section 4.2 shall be
applied to the prepayment of the principal amount of the Term Loans ratably between the Tranche B
Term Loans and the Incremental Term Loans based on the outstanding principal amounts thereof at
such time. The application of any prepayment pursuant to Section 4.2 shall be made, first,
to Base Rate Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans. Each prepayment of the Term Loans
under Section 4.2 shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the
amount prepaid. Each prepayment of the Term Loans shall be applied ratably to the respective
remaining installments thereof.

          (d) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event Borrower is
required to make any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 4.2(a) or (b) (a “Waivable
Mandatory Prepayment”) of the Term Loans, not less than three Business Days prior to the date
(the “Required Prepayment Date”) on which the Borrower is required to make such Waivable
Mandatory Prepayment, the Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of the amount (or its good
faith estimate thereof) of such prepayment, and the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter
notify each Lender holding an outstanding Term Loan of the amount of such Lender’s pro rata share
of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment and of such Lender’s option to refuse such amount. Each such
Lender may exercise such option by giving written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent of its election to do so on or before the first Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment
Date (it being understood that any Lender which does not

51

 

notify the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent of its election to exercise such option on or before the first Business Day prior to the
Required Prepayment Date shall be deemed to have elected, as of such date, not to exercise such
option).

          (e) Concurrently with any prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Sections 4.2(a) and (b),
the Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer
demonstrating the calculation of the amount of the applicable Net Cash Proceeds. In the event that
the Borrower shall subsequently determine that the actual amount received exceeded the amount set
forth in such certificate, the Borrower shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the Term
Loans in an amount equal to such excess, and the Borrower shall concurrently therewith deliver to
Administrative Agent a certificate of an Authorized Officer demonstrating the derivation of such
excess.

          (f) Upon its receipt of the proceeds of the Tranche B Term Loans, the Borrower, in accordance
with its voluntary election delivered to the Administrative Agent in connection with the
Refinancing, shall apply such proceeds, together with other funds if necessary, in an amount
sufficient to (i) prepay in full the Original Term Loans that are not being deemed converted into
or exchanged for Tranche B Term Loans, (ii) pay all accrued and unpaid interest and fees, if any,
on all Non-Renewed Tranche B Term Loans and all Original Term Loans held by Original Term Lenders
that are not Continuing Lenders, (iii) pay to each Original Term Lender that is not a Continuing
Lender all amounts then due and owing as a result of the prepayment of such Original Term Lender’s
Original Term Loans and (iv) pay all other
Obligations then due and owing to the Original Term Lenders that are not Continuing Lenders,
in their capacity as such, under the Original Credit Agreement.

          4.3. Conversion and Continuation Options.

          (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to Base Rate Loans by
giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 11:00 A.M.,
New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date, provided that any
such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with
respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar
Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than
11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which
notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no Base
Rate Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Majority Facility
Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit
such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
each relevant Lender thereof.

          (b) Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current
Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the
Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest
Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to
such Loans, provided that no Eurodollar Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such
when any

52

 

Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the
Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole
discretion not to permit such continuations, and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail
to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not
permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to Base
Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice
the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

          4.4. Limitations on Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurodollar Loans hereunder and all
selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such
elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the
Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $5,000,000 or a whole
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than ten Eurodollar Tranches shall be
outstanding at any one time.

          4.5. Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period
with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus
the Applicable Margin; provided, that Other Term Loans that are Eurodollar Loans shall bear
interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to
the Eurodollar Rate determined for such date plus the interest rate margin applicable thereto.

          (b) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus
the Applicable Margin; provided, that Other Term Loans that are Base Rate Loans shall bear interest
at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the interest rate margin applicable thereto.

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

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

53

 

          4.6. Computation of Interest and Fees.

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

          (b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the
absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver
to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining
any interest rate pursuant to Section 4.5.

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

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

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

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the
relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar
Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period
shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been
converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as Base
Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted,
on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has
been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility
shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans under
the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans.

          4.8. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

          (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on
account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the

54

 

Commitments of the Lenders shall be made
pro rata according to the respective Tranche B Term Percentages, Incremental Term
Percentages or Revolving Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders.

          (b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and
interest on the Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal
amounts of Tranche B Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans then held by the relevant Lenders
(except as otherwise provided in Section 4.2(f)). Amounts repaid or prepaid on account of the Term
Loans may not be reborrowed.

          (c) Each payment (including each payment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and
interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective
outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders.

          (d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on
account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and
shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in
immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the
Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than
payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such
payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan
becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended
to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such
payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately
preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the
preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such
extension.

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

55

 

Facility, on demand, from the Borrower. In addition to the
rights described above, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall make available to the
Borrower all or any portion of the Term Loans of any Lender and such Lender shall fail to make
available to the Administrative Agent a corresponding amount by 5:00 P.M. New York City time within
one Business Day of extension of credit, the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall be
entitled to immediately and without further action on the part of such Lender register a transfer
of such Lender’s Term Loans to a replacement Lender, which shall be the Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent agrees to purchase any such Term Loans at par and in accordance with Section
11.6 (other than the requirement for the signature of the defaulting Lender on the Assignment and
Assumption in connection with such transfer). In addition to any other remedies
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may have against such defaulting Lender, the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover from such defaulting Lender the difference (if
positive) between par and the amount for which it is able to sell such purchased Term Loans in the
secondary market.

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

          4.9. Requirements of Law.

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

          (i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this
Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Application or any Eurodollar Loan made by it (except
for Non-Excluded Taxes and Taxes on the net income of such Lenders), or change the basis of
taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes
covered by Section 4.10 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such
Lender);

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

56

 

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

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

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

          (c) A certificate, accompanied by such supporting information as Borrower may reasonably
request, as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to
the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Borrower shall not
be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than six
months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim
compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a
retroactive effect, then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of such
retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Term Loans and all other amounts payable
hereunder.

          4.10. Taxes.

          (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of,
and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or
other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter
imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net
income taxes, franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) and other similar Taxes imposed
on any Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between such Agent or such
Lender and the jurisdiction of the

57

 

Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely
from such Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received
a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document). If any such non-excluded
taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded
Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Agent or any
Lender
hereunder, the amounts so payable to such Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the
extent necessary to yield to such Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and
Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts
specified in this Agreement, provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to increase
any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are
attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d) or (e) of
this Section or (ii) that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such
Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such
Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts
from the Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph.

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

          (c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as
possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for
the account of the relevant Agent or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original
official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay
any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (after receipt of notice that such Non-Excluded Taxes or
Other Taxes are due) when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the
Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower
shall indemnify the Agents and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that
may become payable by any Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure, except to the extent
such failure results from any Agent’s or Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

          (d) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30)
of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall
have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI,
or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under
Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement
substantially in the form of Exhibit H and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or
successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete
exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S.
Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any
Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In
addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or
invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall
promptly notify the Borrower

58

 

at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to
provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification
adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of
this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this
paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

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

          (f) If any Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion,
that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 4.10, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the
extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section
4.10 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any
interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund) within ten (10)
Business Days of such determination; provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of such Agent or
such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or
other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Agent or such Lender in the
event such Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.
This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Agent or any Lender to make available its tax
returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the
Borrower or any other Person .

          (g) The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and
the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

          4.11. Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender
harmless from any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a)
default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar
Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from
Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last
day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification shall include an amount equal
to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so
prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such
prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue

59

 

to the last day of such Interest
Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would
have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for
such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any)
over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such
Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on
deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A
certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any
Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

          4.12. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event
giving rise to the operation of Section 4.9 or 4.10(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if
requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such
Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of
avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in
the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no
economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section
shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender
pursuant to Section 4.9 or 4.10(a).

          4.13. Replacement of Lenders. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that
(a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.9, 4.10(a) or 4.15 or (b)
defaults in its obligation to make Loans hereunder, with a replacement financial institution;
provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law and is an Eligible
Assignee, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such
replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under
Section 4.12 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section
4.9 or 4.10(a), (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and
other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the
Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 4.11 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to
such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating
thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Revolving Lender and if it
is to be a Revolving Lender upon such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in
accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to
pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (viii) until such time as such
replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required
pursuant to Section 4.9 or 4.10(a), as the case may be, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be
deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender
shall have against the replaced Lender.

          4.14. Evidence of Debt.

          (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each

60

 

Loan of such Lender from
time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from
time to time under this Agreement.

          (b) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain the Register pursuant
to Section 11.6(b), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the
amount of each Loan made hereunder and any Note evidencing such Loan, the Type of such Loan and
each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and
payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the
amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each
Lender’s share thereof.

          (c) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to
Section 4.14(a) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie
evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded absent
manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to
maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the
obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by
such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          (d) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the
Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing any
Term Loans, Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender, substantially
in the form of Exhibit G-1, G-2 or G-3, respectively, with appropriate insertions as to date and
principal amount.

          4.15. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any
change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it
unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a)
the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such
and convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (b) such Lender’s
Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate
Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans
or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan
occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto,
the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section
4.11.

SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

          To induce the Agents and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans (other
than Incremental Term Loans) and issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, the Borrower hereby
represents and warrants to each Agent and each Lender that:

          5.1. Financial Condition.

          (a) The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet of Superholdings and its
Consolidated Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2006 (including the notes thereto) (the “Pro Forma
Balance Sheet”), a copy of which has heretofore been made available to each

61

 

Lender, has been
prepared giving effect (as if such events had occurred on such date) to (i) the consummation of the
Restructuring, (ii) the Loans made on the Closing Date and the Senior Notes issued on the Closing
Date and the use of proceeds thereof and (iii) the payment of fees and expenses in connection with
the foregoing. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet has been prepared based on the best information
available to Superholdings as of the date of delivery thereof, and presents fairly in all material
respects on a pro forma basis the estimated financial position of Superholdings and its
Consolidated Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2006, assuming that the events specified in the preceding
sentence had actually occurred at such date.

          (b) The audited consolidated balance sheet of Superholdings as of December 31, 2005, and the
consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income and stockholders’ equity for the fiscal
year ended on such date, reported on by and accompanied by unqualified reports from Deloitte &
Touche LLP, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of
Superholdings as of such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated
cash flows for the fiscal year then ended. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of
Superholdings as of June 30, 2006, and the related unaudited condensed consolidated statements of
income and comprehensive income and cash flows for the six-month period ended on such date, present
fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of Superholdings as of such
date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the
six-month period then ended (subject to normal year end audit adjustments). All such financial
statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance
with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the
aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein). As of the Closing Date, giving effect
to the Transactions (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) and the issuance of the Senior
Notes, no Group Member had any material Guarantee Obligations (other than Guarantee Obligations
arising under or in connection with the Original Credit Agreement or the Senior Notes), contingent
liabilities and liabilities for taxes, or any long term leases or unusual forward or long term
commitments, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other
obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the most recent financial
statements referred to in this paragraph. During the period from June 30, 2006 to and including
the Restatement Date there has been no Disposition by the Borrower of any material part of its
business or property.

          5.2. No Change. Since June 30, 2006, there has been no event, development or circumstance

own its assets and to carry on its business as now conducted, and is qualified to do business in,
and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except where
failure to have such power, authority, licenses, authorizations, consents, approvals and
qualifications could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set

applicable to it or its Property and all agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its
Property, and possesses all licenses, permits, franchises, exemptions, approvals and other

without limitation, any action required to be taken by any class of directors of the Borrower,
whether interested or disinterested, in order to ensure the due authorization of the Transactions).
Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered by each Group Member thereto and
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Group Member enforceable in accordance
with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other
laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless
of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. The Transactions do not require any
consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental
Authority or any other third Person (including shareholders, or any class of directors, whether
interested or disinterested, of the Borrower or any other person), nor is any such consent,
approval, registration, filing or other action necessary for the validity or enforceability of any
Loan Document or the consummation of the Transactions, except (i) such as have been obtained or
made and are in full force and effect, (ii) those third party approvals or consents listed on
Schedule 5.4 which, if not made or obtained, would not cause a Default or Event of Default
hereunder, (iii) such consents, approvals, registrations, filings or other actions, other than
those specified in clause (iv) below, the absence of which or failure to obtain, could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) to the extent that the exercise of
certain of the rights, powers, privileges and remedies of the Agents or the Lenders may constitute
a de jure or de facto voluntary or involuntary assignment of an FCC license or a voluntary or
involuntary transfer of de jure or de facto control of the holder of any such FCC license, the
FCC’s prior consent thereto, and (v) the licenses issued by the FCC pursuant to the Auction 66
Acquisition have not yet been issued via a Final Order.

          5.5. No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, the issuance of the Letters of Credit and the borrowings hereunder and the use of
the proceeds thereof (a) will not violate any applicable law, regulation or any order of any
Governmental Authority (except for any violation that could not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect) or the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of any
Group Member, (b) will not violate or result in a default under any Material Contractual Obligation
binding upon any Group Member or its Properties, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any
payment to be made by such Group Member (except for any of the foregoing that could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect) and (c) will not result in the creation or
imposition of any Lien on any Property of any Group Member (other than Liens securing the
Obligations hereunder).

          5.6. Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.6, there are no actions, suits,
investigations or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against
or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened in writing against or affecting any Group Member
(i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination

63

 

that, if adversely
determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material
Adverse Effect or (ii) that involve any Loan Document or the Transactions.

          5.7. No Default. No Group Member is in default under or with respect to any of its
Material Contractual Obligations in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a

its Properties which constitute real property and good title to all its personal Properties, in
each case, (i) free and clear of all Liens except Liens permitted by Section 8.3 or (ii) where the
exceptions to such title should not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          (b) All material leases and agreements necessary for the conduct of the business of each Group
Member are valid and subsisting, in full force and effect, and there exists no default or event or
circumstance which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would give rise to a
default under any such lease or leases and which could reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect.

          (c) The rights and Properties presently owned, leased or licensed by each Group Member
including, without limitation, all easements and rights of way, include all rights and Properties
necessary to permit such Group Member to conduct its business in all respects in the same manner as
its business has been conducted prior to the date hereof, except where the failure to have such
rights and Properties could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (d) None of the Group Members or any of their respective Properties or assets are subject to
any Liens other than Liens permitted by Section 8.3, and such Liens as do not materially interfere
with such Group Member’s ability to conduct its business and, in the aggregate, as could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          5.9. Intellectual Property. Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.9, each Group Member owns, or
is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other Intellectual Property
material to its business, and, to the extent the Group Member holds title to such Intellectual
Property, the use thereof by such Group Member does not infringe upon the rights of any other

the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          5.10. Taxes. Each Group Member has timely filed or caused to be filed all federal and other

Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and for which such Group Member has set aside on its books adequate
reserves in accordance with GAAP or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so could not
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The

64

 

charges, accruals and reserves
on the books of the Group Members in respect of Taxes and other governmental charges are, in the
reasonable opinion of the Borrower, adequate. As of the Restatement Date, no Tax Lien has been
filed and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no claim is being asserted with respect to any such
Tax. As of each date this representation is made after the Restatement Date, no Tax Lien has been
filed and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no claim is being asserted with respect to any such
Tax, in each case that does not constitute an Excepted Lien.

immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of

Plan is, and has been, maintained in compliance with ERISA and, where applicable, the Code.

          (c) To the best knowledge of the Borrower no act, omission or transaction has occurred which
could reasonably be expected to result in imposition on any Group Member or any ERISA Affiliate

to such benefit liabilities by any amount in excess of $10,000,000. The term “actuarial present
value of the benefit liabilities” shall have the meaning specified in section 4041 of ERISA. No

Confidential Information
Memorandum but subject to the qualifications, limitations, exceptions and assumptions set forth
therein) furnished by or on behalf of any Group Member to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or
any of their Affiliates in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document (as modified or supplemented by
other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any

financial statements present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition
of Superholdings as at the dates of such financial statements; provided, further, that with respect

Pledged Stock, Liens described in clauses (a), (i) and (j) of the definition of Excepted Liens).

          (b) Each of the Mortgages is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable Lien on the Mortgaged Properties
described therein and proceeds thereof, and when the Mortgages are filed in the offices specified
on Schedule 5.19(b), each such Mortgage shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security
interest in, all right, title and interest of the Group Members in the Mortgaged Properties and the
proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations (as defined in the relevant Mortgage), in each
case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except Liens permitted by Section 8.3). As

maintained, operated and developed in a good and workmanlike manner

68

 

and in conformity with all
Governmental Requirements and in conformity with the provisions of all leases, subleases or other
contracts to which they are bound. All material improvements, fixtures and equipment owned in
whole or in part by any Group Member that are necessary to conduct normal operations (ordinary wear
and tear excepted) are being maintained in a state adequate to conduct normal operations, and with
respect to such of the foregoing which are operated by such Group Member, in a manner consistent
with such Group Member’s past practices (other than those the failure of which to maintain in
accordance with this Section 5.21 could not reasonably be expect to have a Material Adverse
Effect).

or an “affiliate” of a “holding company” or of a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company,” or a

          The Borrower hereby agrees that, so long as the Commitments remain in effect, any Letter of

the Borrower shall and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to:

          7.1. Financial Statements. Furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender (except for
those documents or other information posted to Intralinks by the Administrative Agent):

          (a) Annual Financial Statements. As soon as available, but in any event in accordance
with then applicable law and not later than 90 days after the end of each Fiscal Year of
Superholdings commencing with the year ended December 31, 2006, Superholdings’ and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries’ audited consolidated balance sheet and related statements of income and comprehensive
income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows as of the end of and for such year, setting forth in
each case in comparative form the figures for the previous Fiscal Year, all reported on by Deloitte
& Touche LLP or other independent public accountants of recognized national standing (without a
“going concern” or like qualification or exception and without any qualification or exception as to
the scope of such audit) to the effect that such consolidated financial statements present fairly
in all material respects the financial condition and results of operations of Superholdings and its
Consolidated Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP consistently applied
(except as approved by the Superholdings’ accountants and disclosed therein).

          (b) Quarterly Financial Statements. As soon as available, but in any event in
accordance with then applicable law and not later than 45 days after the end of each of the first
three Fiscal Quarters of each Fiscal Year of Superholdings commencing with the quarter ending March
31, 2007, in each case, Superholdings’ and its Consolidated Subsidiaries’ consolidated balance

          (c) Statements of Reconciliation after Change in Accounting Principles. If, as a
result of any change in accounting principles and policies from those used in the preparation of
the audited financial statements of Superholdings for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2005, the
consolidated financial statements of Superholdings and its Consolidated Subsidiaries delivered
pursuant to Section 7.1(a) or 7.1(b) will differ in any material respect from the consolidated
financial statements that would have been delivered pursuant to such subdivisions had no such
change in accounting principles and policies been made, then, together with the first

Administrative Agent.

          (d) Reporting Company. Notwithstanding the requirements of Sections 7.1(a) through

to Sections 7.1(a), (b) and (d), if the combined operations of Superholdings and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries, excluding the operations of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries and
excluding Cash and Cash Equivalents, would, if held by a single Subsidiary of the Borrower,
constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Borrower, then the quarterly and annual financial
information required by the preceding paragraphs will include a reasonably detailed presentation,

the financial condition and results of operations of Superholdings and its other Consolidated

with any covenant calculation set forth in Section 8.18 is in accordance with the definition of New
Market Losses.

Year of the Borrower, a detailed consolidated budget for the following Fiscal Year on a Fiscal
Quarter basis (including a projected consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries as of the end of the following Fiscal Year, the related consolidated statements of
projected cash flow, projected changes in financial position and projected income and a description
of the underlying assumptions applicable thereto), and, as soon as available,
significant revisions, if any, of such budget and projections with respect to such Fiscal Year

74

 

(collectively, the “Projections”), which Projections shall in each case be accompanied by a
certificate of an Authorized Officer stating that such Projections are based on reasonable
estimates, information and assumptions and that such Authorized Officer has no reason to believe
that such Projections are incorrect or misleading in any material respect.

of the nature disclosed by the Borrower in the Confidential Information Memorandum (which shall
include, without limitation, revenues, service revenues, ARPU, CPU, CPGA, adjusted EBITDA,
subscriber counts, penetration, churn, covered POPS and capital expenditures), provided that this
clause (c) shall not apply, and the Borrower need not comply with this clause (c), at any time that
Superholdings, Holdings or the Borrower is then a reporting company under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended; provided further, however, if the combined operations of Superholdings and
its Consolidated Subsidiaries, excluding the operations of the Borrower and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries and excluding Cash and Cash Equivalents, would, if held by a single Subsidiary of the
Borrower, constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Borrower, then the quarterly and annual
financial information required by the preceding paragraphs will include a reasonably detailed
presentation of the narrative discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of
operations of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition
and results of operations of Superholdings and its other Consolidated Subsidiaries; provided,
further, that the requirements of this paragraph shall not apply if Superholdings or Holdings files

applicable) at any time outstanding not to exceed $50,000,000;

          (k) Indebtedness secured by Liens permitted by clauses (i) and (j) of the definition of

or improvement of property, plant or equipment or the Capital Stock of any Person owning such
assets used in the business of the Borrower or any of Subsidiary Guarantor, in an aggregate
principal amount, including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to renew, refund,
refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (m), not
to exceed the greater of (a) $150,000,000 and (b) 3.0% of the Consolidated Total Assets of the
Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries on the date such Indebtedness in incurred, at any time
outstanding;

          (n) additional secured Indebtedness (it being understood that once such Indebtedness is
properly incurred pursuant to this clause it shall at all times thereafter be permitted to exist
pursuant to this clause) of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor, so long as at the time of
incurrence (assuming all Revolving Commitments are fully funded) the Consolidated Senior Secured
Leverage Ratio for the Borrower’s most recently ended four Fiscal Quarters for which internal
financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional secured
Indebtedness is incurred would be in accordance with, and as set forth in, the applicable
Compliance Certificate, has been no greater than the ratio set forth in Section 8.18(a) for such
period as if such covenant were at the time of incurrence in effect, determined on a pro forma
basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if such additional
secured Indebtedness had been incurred at the beginning of such
four-Fiscal Quarter period; provided that if such Indebtedness is secured by Liens that are
pari passu with those in favor of the Secured Parties, such Indebtedness must be incurred pursuant
to Section 2.4 hereof; provided further, that if such Indebtedness is secured by Liens that are
junior to those in favor of the Secured Parties, such Indebtedness shall (1) have a greater
Weighted Average Life to Maturity than the Tranche B Term Loans, (2) not mature prior to the Term
Loan Maturity Date, (3) have covenants less restrictive than those set forth herein (taken as a
whole), and (4) be subject to an intercreditor agreement to be entered into by the Administrative
Agent and the agent or other representative for the holders of such Indebtedness, reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the Administrative Agent;

          (o) additional unsecured Indebtedness (it being understood that once such Indebtedness is
properly incurred pursuant to this clause it shall at all times thereafter be permitted to exist
pursuant to this clause) of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor so long as at the time of
incurrence (assuming all Revolving Commitments are fully funded), the Consolidated Total Leverage
Ratio for the Borrower’s most recently ended four Fiscal Quarters for which internal financial
statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional unsecured
Indebtedness is incurred would be in accordance with, and as set forth in, the applicable
Compliance Certificate, has been no greater than the ratio set forth in Section 8.18(b) for such
period as if such covenant were at the time of incurrence in effect determined on a pro forma basis
(including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if such

83

 

additional unsecured
Indebtedness had been incurred at the beginning of such four-Fiscal Quarter period; and

          (p) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used
to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness (other than
intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted to be incurred under clauses (i), (j), (k), (n), (o)
or (p) of this Section 8.2.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 8.2, in the event that an item of proposed
Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories described in the clauses above,
or is otherwise entitled to be incurred pursuant to this Section, the Borrower will be permitted to
classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a
portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section. The accrual
of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on
any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, and the payment of
dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified
Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section;
provided, in each such case, that the amount thereof is included in Consolidated Interest Expense
as accrued. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the maximum amount of
Indebtedness that the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may incur pursuant to this Section shall
not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency
values. The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be: (i) the accreted value
of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount; (ii) in
respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on assets of a Group Member, the lesser
of (A) the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination and (B) the amount of the
Indebtedness of the other Person; and (iii) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case
of any other Indebtedness.

          8.3. Liens. Create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon any of its property,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired, except for:

          (a) Liens securing the Obligations under the Loan Documents; and

          (b) Excepted Liens.

          8.4. Fundamental Changes. Merge into or with or consolidate with any other Person, or
sell, lease or otherwise dispose of (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions) all
or substantially all of the Property of the Group Members, taken as a whole, to any other Person
(any such transaction, a “consolidation”), provided that any Subsidiary may participate in a
consolidation, merger, sale or otherwise with the Borrower (provided that the Borrower shall be the
continuing or surviving Person or the Person that acquires the Property in question) or with any
Person (provided that the continuing or surviving Person or Person that acquires the Property in
question is a Subsidiary Guarantor or becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor under Section 7.10).

          8.5. Disposition of Property. Sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all
or substantially all of its properties or assets (with the consideration received for

84

 

such
properties or assets at least equal to the Fair Market Value thereof), to another Person, except:

          (a) to the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor (or a Person that becomes a Subsidiary
Guarantor immediately following such sale, assignment or transfer);

          (b) Asset Sales and sales of Capital Stock so long as the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset
Sale or sale of Capital Stock are applied in accordance with Section 4.2(b); and

          (c) Property described in clauses (i)-(viii) of the definition of Asset Sale.

          provided, that:

          (i) with respect to any Asset Sale or series of related Asset Sales involving aggregate
consideration in excess of $10,000,000, the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent a
resolution of the Borrower’s or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor’s board of directors (or
similar governing body) set forth in an officers’ certificate certifying that such Asset
Sale has been approved by the Borrower’s or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor’s board of
directors (or similar governing body); and

          (ii) with respect to any Asset Sale or series of related Asset Sales involving
aggregate consideration in excess of $50,000,000, the approval of the board of directors (or
similar governing body) required by clause (i) above must be based on an opinion or
appraisal from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment
banking firm of recognized standing.

          8.6. Restricted Payments. Permit any Restricted Payment, except that:

          (a) so long as (i) no Default has occurred or is continuing or would result from such
Restricted Payment, (ii) after giving effect to such Restricted Payment, the Borrower would be
permitted to incur an additional dollar of Indebtedness under Section 8.2(o), (iii) after giving
effect to such Restricted Payment, the Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio for the
Borrower’s most recently ended four Fiscal Quarter period would have been no greater than the ratio
set forth in Section 8.18(a) for such period, determined on a Pro Forma Basis as if such Restricted
Payment had been made at the beginning of such period, and (iv) such Restricted Payment, together
with all other Restricted Payments (excluding Restricted Payments made pursuant to Sections
8.6(b)(2), (3), (4), (6), (7), (8), (9) and (11)) since the beginning of the most recent Fiscal
Quarter of the Borrower commencing after the Closing Date, is less than the Restricted Payment Cap,
then the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may make Restricted Payments.

          (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.6(a), so long as no Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom, the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries may make, do, take or otherwise effectuate the following actions:

          (1) the payment of any dividend or the consummation of any irrevocable
redemption within 60 days after the date of declaration of the dividend or giving of
the redemption notice, as the case may be, if at the date of declaration

85

 

or notice,
the dividend or redemption payment would have complied with the provisions of this
Agreement;

          (2) make any Restricted Payment out of the Net Cash Proceeds from the
substantially concurrent sale of Capital Stock to Holdings by the Borrower or from
the substantially concurrent contribution by Holdings of capital to the Borrower in
respect of its Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock); provided that the
amount of any such Net Cash Proceeds that are utilized for any such Restricted
Payment shall be excluded from clause (B) of the definition of Restricted Payment
Cap;

          (3) the defeasance, redemption, repurchase, retirement or other acquisition of
the Senior Notes or any Subordinated Indebtedness with the Net Cash Proceeds from a
substantially concurrent incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness; provided
that the amount of any such Net Cash Proceeds that are utilized for any such
defeasance, redemption, repurchase, retirement or other acquisition of Indebtedness
will be excluded from clause (B) of the definition of Restricted Payment Cap;

          (4) the payment of any dividend (or, in the case of any partnership or limited
liability company, any similar distribution) by any Subsidiary of the Borrower to
the holders of its Capital Stock on a pro rata basis;

          (5) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of
any Capital Stock of any Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary
Guarantor held by any current or former officer, director or employee of any
Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower pursuant to any equity
subscription agreement, stock option agreement, shareholders’ agreement or similar
agreement; provided that the aggregate price paid for all such repurchased,
redeemed, acquired or retired Capital Stock shall not exceed $5,000,000 in any
twelve-month period;

          (6) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement of Capital
Stock deemed to occur upon the exercise or exchange of stock options, warrants or
other similar rights to the extent such Capital Stock represent a portion of the
exercise or exchange price of those stock options, and the repurchase, redemption or
other acquisition or retirement of Capital Stock made in lieu of withholding taxes
resulting from the exercise or exchange of stock options, warrants or other similar
rights;

          (7) the declaration and payment of regularly scheduled or accrued dividends to
holders of any class or series of Disqualified Stock of any Subsidiary of the
Borrower, or any class or series of preferred stock of a Subsidiary of the Borrower,
in each case issued after the Closing Date, so long as the Consolidated Total
Leverage Ratio for the Borrower’s most recently ended four-Fiscal Quarters for which
internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which
such dividend payment is made would in accordance with, and as

86

 

set forth in, the
applicable Compliance Certificate, have been no greater than the ratio set forth in
Section 8.18(b) for such period, assuming such ratio were required to be tested for
such period, determined on a pro forma basis, as if such dividend payment had been
made at the beginning of such four-Fiscal Quarter period;

          (8) Permitted Payments to any Parent;

          (9) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of

          The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the Fair Market Value on the
date of the Restricted Payment of the assets or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by
the Borrower or its Subsidiaries pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The Fair Market Value of any
assets or securities that are required to be valued by this Section 8.6 will be determined as
follows:

               (i) with respect to any Restricted Payment or series of related Restricted Payments
involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10,000,000, a resolution of the Borrower’s
or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor’s board of directors (or similar governing body) set
forth in an officers’ certificate certifying that such Restricted Payment has been approved
by the Borrower’s or the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor’s board of directors (or similar
governing body); and

               (ii) with respect to any Restricted Payment or series of related Restricted Payments
involving aggregate consideration in excess of $50,000,000, the approval of the board of

Agreement, Royal Street Security Agreement or Royal Street Pledge Agreement without the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent; (b) any of the material terms of the Senior Notes or
any Subordinated Indebtedness or any related documents providing for the subordination thereof
(other than any such amendment, modification, waiver or other change that (i) would extend the

without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

          8.8. Transactions with Affiliates. Enter into any transaction, including, without
limitation, any purchase, sale, lease or exchange of Property or the rendering of any service, with
any Affiliate unless such transactions are otherwise not prohibited by this Agreement and are upon
fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to it than it would obtain in a comparable arm’s length
transaction with a Person not an Affiliate (it being understood that transactions with any
Affiliate involving the transfer of Property (including sale-leaseback transactions) at book value
shall be deemed to be fair and reasonable). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the following

made shall have granted to the Borrower or the Subsidiary making such Investment a sole
first priority Lien on substantially all of its assets (except (x) as may be limited by a
Requirement of Law or (y) for Other Approved Liens));

     (7) any Permitted Investments or Restricted Payments that do not violate the provisions
of this Agreement; and

     (8) any contracts, agreements or understandings existing as of the Closing Date and

effect on the Closing Date.

          8.9. Sales and Leasebacks. Except for sale and leaseback transactions with consideration of
less than $20,000,000 in the aggregate for all such transactions, enter into any arrangement with

the Borrower or the Subsidiary making such Investment a sole first priority Lien on substantially
all of its assets (except (x) as may be limited by a Requirement of Law or (y) for Other Approved
Liens))) providing for the leasing by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of Property that has been or
is to be sold or transferred by the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor to such Person or to any
other Person to whom funds have been or are to be advanced by such Person on the security of such
property or rental obligations of the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor.

another floating rate or otherwise) with respect to any interest-bearing liability or investment of
the Borrower or any Subsidiary, (c) any Eurodollar cap purchased with respect to any Eurodollar
Loan, and (d) Hedge Agreements required pursuant to Section 7.9.

create, incur or permit any Lien upon any of its Property (other than Liens permitted by Section
8.3), (ii) any Subsidiary of the Borrower from paying dividends or making distributions, loans or

notice to other Persons in connection with the paying of dividends or the making of distributions
or (iii) the ability of any Subsidiary to transfer any of its assets to the Borrower or any other
Subsidiary; provided, however, that the preceding restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or

similar contracts as they
affect any Property or Lien subject to a lease or license, (c) the Senior Note Indenture, (d)
agreements or instruments governing Excluded Indebtedness and Capital Stock and any amendments,
restatements, modifications, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or
refinancings of these agreements or instruments permitted hereunder; provided that the amendments,
restatements, modifications, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or
refinancings are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend,
other payment and asset transfer restrictions than those contained in those agreements or
instruments on the Closing Date,

89

 

(e) applicable law, rule, regulation or order, (f) any instrument
governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such Indebtedness
or Capital Stock was incurred or issued in connection with or in contemplation of such
acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties

without having been stayed, dismissed, bonded or discharged; or

          (g) Voluntary Bankruptcy; Appointment of Receiver, etc. (i) Any Loan Party shall have

similar process involving in the aggregate at any time an amount in excess of

94

 

$10,000,000 (in
either case to the extent not adequately covered by insurance as to which a solvent and
unaffiliated insurance company has acknowledged coverage) shall be entered or filed against any
Loan Party or any of their respective assets and shall remain undischarged, unpaid, unvacated,
unappealed, unbonded or unstayed for a period of forty-five days (or in any event later than five
days prior to the date of any proposed sale thereunder); or

          (i) Dissolution. Any order, judgment or decree shall be entered against any Group

Agreement, in each case beyond the period of grace, if any, provided in such Specified Hedge
Agreement; or (iii) defaults in the observance or performance of any other agreement or condition
relating to any such Specified Hedge Agreement, or any other event shall occur or condition exist,
the effect of which default or other event or condition is to cause, or to permit the holder or
beneficiary of such Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holder or beneficiary) to
cause, after the giving of notice if required or the elapse of any grace period, a liquidation,
acceleration or early termination of such Specified Hedge Agreement; provided, that a default,
event or condition described in clause (i) or (ii) of this paragraph (n) shall not at any time
constitute an Event of Default unless, at such time, one or more defaults,

95

 

events or conditions of
the type described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph (n) shall have occurred and be
continuing under Specified Hedge Agreements which have an outstanding principal amount of
Indebtedness thereunder which exceeds $10,000,000;

then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in paragraph (f) or
(g) above as to the Borrower, automatically the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the
Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the
beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required
thereunder) shall immediately become due and payable, and (B) if such event is any other Event of
Default, either or both of the following actions may be taken: (i) with the consent of the
Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the
Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower declare the Revolving Commitments to be
terminated forthwith, whereupon the Revolving Commitments shall immediately terminate; and (ii)
with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the
Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans
hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents (including all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of
the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) to
be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable. With
respect to all Letters of Credit with respect to which presentment for honor shall not have
occurred at the time of an acceleration pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall at such time
deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the
aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit. Amounts held in such cash
collateral account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn
under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall
have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other obligations of the
Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and any Specified Hedge Agreements. After
all such
Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations shall
have been satisfied and all other obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents and any Specified Hedge Agreements shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in
such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Borrower (or such other Person as may be
lawfully entitled thereto). Except as expressly provided above in this Section, presentment,
demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.

SECTION 10. THE AGENTS

          10.1. Appointment. Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) hereby
irrevocably designates and appoints each Agent as the agent of such Lender (and, if applicable,
each other Secured Party) under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender
irrevocably authorizes such Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the
provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform
such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this

96

 

Agreement, no Agent shall have any
duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship
with any Lender or other Secured Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities,
duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
otherwise exist against any Agent.

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

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

          10.4. Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate,
affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or
conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the
proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the
Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. The Administrative
Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a
written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the
Administrative Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any
action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or
concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it
deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any
and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take
any such action. The Agents shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from
acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the
Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and

97

 

such request and any
action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all
future holders of the Loans and all other Secured Parties.

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

          10.6. Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other
Secured Party) expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates have made any representations or
warranties to it and that
no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or
any Affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any
Agent to any Lender or any other Secured Party. Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other
Secured Party) also represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon
any Agent or any other Lender or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the
business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan
Parties and their Affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into
this Agreement or any Specified Hedge Agreement. Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other
Secured Party) also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or
any other Lender (or any other Secured Party), and based on such documents and information as it
shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and
decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any
Specified Hedge Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as
to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the
Loan Parties and their Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly
required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative
Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or any other Secured Party
with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition
(financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a
Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

          10.7. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such
(to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower
to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the
date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if

98

 

indemnification is sought after
the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in
full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such
date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time
(whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against
such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the
other Loan Documents, any Specified Hedge Agreement or any documents contemplated by or referred to
herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted
by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be
liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and
nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment
of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

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

          10.9. Successor Administrative Agent and Issuing Lender. (a) The Administrative Agent may
resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 Business Days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If
the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent
for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 9(a) or
Section 9(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to
approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon
such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent,
and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment
and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative
Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former
Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no
successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 10 Business
Days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative
Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall assume and
perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the
Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. The Syndication Agent may, at
any time, by notice to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, resign as Syndication Agent
hereunder, whereupon the duties, rights, obligations and responsibilities of the Syndication Agent
hereunder shall automatically be assumed by, and inure to the benefit of, the Administrative Agent,
without any further act by the Syndication Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender. After
any

99

 

retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this
Section 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it
was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

          (b) The Borrower shall be permitted to replace the then existing Issuing Lender (the
“Departing Issuing Lender”) upon 10 Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent and
the Departing Issuing Lender (or such shorter time as the Departing Issuing Lender may agree) if
the Departing Issuing Lender requests reimbursement under Section 3.7(c) or otherwise declines to
issue a Letter of Credit pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.7(c). The Borrower shall select
from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Lender, subject to approval by such successor Issuing
Lender and by the Administrative Agent (the approval of the Administrative Agent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor Issuing Lender shall succeed to the
rights, powers and duties of the Departing Issuing Lender, and the term “Issuing Lender” shall mean
such successor Issuing Lender effective upon such appointment and approval, and (subject to the
final two sentences of this Section 10.9(b) the Departing Issuing
Lender’s rights, powers and duties as Issuing Lender shall be terminated, without any other or
further act or deed on the part of such Departing Issuing Lender or any of the parties to this
Agreement or any holders of the Loans. Any Letter of Credit issued by the Departing Issuing Lender
and outstanding on the effective date of the appointment and approval of the successor Issuing
Lender shall remain an outstanding L/C Obligation. The provisions of the Loan Documents shall
inure to the benefit of the Departing Issuing Lender for so long as any Letter of Credit issued by
the Departing Issuing Lender remains outstanding.

          10.10. Agents Generally. Except as expressly set forth herein, no Agent shall have any
duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such.

          10.11. The Lead Arranger. The Lead Arranger, in its capacity as such, shall have no duties
or responsibilities, and shall incur no liability, under this Agreement and other Loan Documents.

SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS

          11.1. Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any
terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 11.1. The Required Lenders and each Group Member party to the relevant
Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent
and each Group Member party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into
written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the
purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any
manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Group Members hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on
such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be,
may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that, in
addition, no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) forgive the
principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, extend the scheduled
date of any amortization payment in respect of any Term Loan, reduce the stated rate of any
interest or

100

 

fee payable hereunder (except (x) in connection with any waiver of the applicability of
any post-default increase in interest rates, which waiver shall be effective with the consent of
the Majority Facility Lenders of each adversely affected Facility and (y) that any amendment or
modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants in this Agreement shall not
constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i)) or extend
the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of
any Lender’s Revolving Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly
affected thereby; (ii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 11.1
without the written consent of such Lender; (iii) reduce any percentage specified in the definition
of Required Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or substantially
all of the Collateral (except as expressly provided by Section 11.14(b)), release all or
substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their obligations under the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement or modify the provisions of Section 11.6, in each case without the written
consent of all Lenders; (iv) amend, modify or waive any condition precedent to any extension of
credit under the Revolving Facility set forth in Section 6.2 (including in connection with any
waiver of an existing Default or Event of Default) without the written consent of the Majority
Facility Lenders with respect to the Revolving Facility; (v) amend, modify or waive any provision
of Section 4.8 without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby; (vi) reduce
the amount of Net Cash Proceeds required to be applied to prepay Loans under this Agreement without
the written consent of the Majority Facility Lenders with respect to each Facility; (vii) reduce
the percentage specified in the definition of Majority Facility Lenders with respect to any
Facility without the written consent of all Lenders under such Facility; (viii) amend, modify or
waive any provision of Section 10 without the written consent of each Agent adversely affected
thereby; (ix) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3.3 or 3.4 without the written
consent of the Swingline Lender; (x) amend, modify or waive any provision of Sections 3.7 to 3.14
without the written consent of the Issuing Lender; (xi) amend, modify or waive (A) any Loan
Document so as to alter the ratable treatment of the Borrower Hedge Agreement Obligations and the
Borrower Credit Agreement Obligations or (B) the definition of “Qualified Counterparty,” “Specified
Hedge Agreement,” “Obligations,” “Borrower Obligations,” or “Borrower Hedge Agreement Obligations”,
in each case in a manner adverse to any Qualified Counterparty with Obligations then outstanding
without the written consent of any such Qualified Counterparty. Any such waiver and any such
amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be
binding upon the Group Members, the Lenders, the Agents and all future holders of the Loans. In
the case of any waiver, the Group Members, the Lenders and the Agents shall be restored to their
former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event
of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend
to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.
If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination requiring the
consent of all Lenders, the consent of Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other
Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained
being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the Administrative Agent
is not a Non-Consenting Lender, the Administrative Agent or a Person reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent or such Person agrees to consent to the proposed
amendment, modification, waiver or termination for which such Non-

101

 

Consenting Lender’s consent has
not been obtained) shall have the right to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lenders, and such
Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, sell and
assign to the Administrative Agent or such Person, all of the Term Loans of such Non-Consenting
Lenders for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Term Loans held by such Non-Consenting
Lenders and all accrued interest and fees (including any related processing and/or recordation
fees) with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated
pursuant to an executed Assignment and Assumption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, technical and
conforming modifications to each Loan Document may be made with the consent (not to be unreasonably
withheld) of the Administrative Agent and each Group Member that is a party thereto to the extent
necessary to
integrate any Incremental Term Loans (including Other Term Loans) on substantially identical
terms as the Tranche B Term Loans, except, in the case of Other Term Loans, with respect to the
interest rate margin applicable thereto.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with
the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (a) to add
one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit
from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof
(collectively, the “Additional Extensions of Credit”) to share ratably in the benefits of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and Revolving Extensions of Credit
and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders
holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders; provided, that no such
amendment shall permit the Additional Extensions of Credit to share ratably with or with preference
to the Term Loans in the application of mandatory prepayments without the consent of the Required
Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consent of the Required Lenders shall not be required
to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.4.

          In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written
consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant
Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans
(“Refinanced Term Loans”) with a replacement “B” term loan tranche hereunder
(“Replacement Term Loans”), provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such
Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term
Loans, (b) the interest rate margin for such Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than the
weighted average interest rate margin for such Refinanced Term Loans, (c) the weighted average life
to maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the weighted average life to
maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing and (d) all other terms
applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to
the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced Term
Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any
period after the latest final maturity of the Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such
refinancing. Any refinancing of the Term Loans as described above shall be subject to the
prepayment provisions of Section 4.1.

          11.2. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto

          11.3. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on
the part of any Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the
other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of

the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and
privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and

103

 

          11.4. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made

          11.5. Payment of Expenses and Taxes. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse each Agent
for all its reasonable and actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or
therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel to such Agent and
filing and recording fees and expenses, with statements with respect to the foregoing to be
submitted to the Borrower prior to the Restatement Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the
Restatement Date) and from time to time thereafter on a quarterly basis or such other periodic
basis as such Agent shall deem appropriate, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender and Agent for all
its actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or
preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other
documents, including the fees and disbursements of outside counsel to each Lender and of counsel to
such Agent, (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and Agent harmless from, any and all
recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay
in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, that may be payable or determined to be payable
in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the
transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or
consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other
documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and Agent and their respective officers,
directors, employees, Affiliates, trustees, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an
“Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and
administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including
any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of,
noncompliance with or liability under, or remedial actions required or reasonably necessary
pursuant to, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of any Group Member or any of the
Properties or the unauthorized use by Persons of information or other materials sent through
electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems that are intercepted by
such Persons and the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel in connection with claims,
actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any Group Member under any Loan Document (all the
foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided, that
the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified
Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable
decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by
applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and
hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any
other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities,

104

 

settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to
Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee.
All amounts due under this Section 11.5 shall be payable not later than 10 Business Days after
written demand therefor. Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 11.5 shall be
submitted to the Borrower, at the address of the Borrower
set forth in Section 11.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated
by the Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section
11.5 shall survive repayment of the Term Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

          11.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

          (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any
affiliate of the Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may
not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without
such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights
or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.

     (b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may
assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of
its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

               (A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an (x)
assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Person, (y) any assignment by the
Administrative Agent (or its affiliates) or (z) any assignment of Term Loans; and

               (B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent
shall be required for (x) an assignment to an Assignee that is a Lender, an affiliate of a
Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender immediately prior to giving effect to
such assignment, except in the case of an assignment of a Revolving Commitment to an
Assignee that does not already have a Revolving Commitment,(y) any assignment by the
Administrative Agent (or its affiliates) or (z) any assignment of Term Loans; and

               (C) in the case of any assignment of a Revolving Commitment, the Issuing Lender.

          (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

               (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s
Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount

105

 

of the Commitments or Loans of the
assigning Lender subject to each such assignment
(determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such
assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000
unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that
(1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its
Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

               (B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of
$3,500, provided that only one such fee shall be payable in respect of contemporaneous
assignments to or from related Approved Funds;

               (C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent an administrative questionnaire; and

               (D) in the case of an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliated CLO, the assigning Lender
shall retain the sole right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, provided that the Assignment and
Assumption between such Lender and such CLO may provide that such Lender will not, without
the consent of such CLO, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires
the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second
sentence of Section 11.1 and (2) directly affects such CLO.

          (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below,
from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee
thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement,
and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in
the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall
continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.9, 4.10(a), 4.11 and 11.5). Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does
not comply with this Section 11.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale
by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
paragraph (c) of this Section.

          (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower,
shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to
it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the
Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to each Lender
pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the
Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in
the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a

106

 

Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the
contrary.

          (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an
assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire
(unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation
fee referred to in paragraph (b)(ii) of this Section, and any written consent to such
assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept
such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register.
No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded
in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

     (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (a “Participant”) in
all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all
or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the other Lenders shall continue
to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the
consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires
the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second
sentence of Section 11.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph
(c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 4.9, 4.10(a) or 4.11 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had
acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the
extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section
11.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section
11.7(a) as though it were a Lender.

          (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section
4.9 or 4.10(a) than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect
to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such
Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. Any Participant that is a
Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.10(a) unless such
Participant complies with Section 4.10(d).

          (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or
assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any
such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or

107

 

assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder
or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

          (e) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue
Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph
(d) above.

          (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it
may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 11.6(b). The
Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute
against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state
bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest
maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender
designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party
hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a
proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

          11.7. Adjustments; Set-off.

          (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated
to a particular Lender or as provided in Section 4.2(f), if any Lender (a “Benefited
Lender”) shall, at any time after the Loans and other amounts payable hereunder shall
immediately become due and payable pursuant to Section 9, receive any payment of all or part of the
Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or
involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section
9(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any
other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefited
Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of
the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the
benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the
excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however,
that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such
Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned,
to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

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

108

 

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

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

          11.9. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition
or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition
or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision
in any other jurisdiction.

          11.10. Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire
agreement of the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and
thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Agent or any
Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the
other Loan Documents.

          11.11. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

          11.12. Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. The Borrower, each Agent and each Lender hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally:

          (a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement
of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the
State of New York, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and
appellate courts from any thereof;

          (b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any
objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any
such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to
plead or claim the same;

          (c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing
a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage
prepaid, to the Borrower, at its address set forth in Section 11.2 or at such other address of
which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

109

 

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

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

          11.13. Acknowledgments. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

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

          (b) no Agent or Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Borrower arising out
of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship
between the Agents and Lenders, on one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection
herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

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

          11.14. Releases of Guarantees and Liens.

          (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document,
the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Secured Party (without
requirement of notice to or consent of any Secured Party except as expressly required by Section
11.1) to take any action requested by the Borrower having the effect of releasing any Collateral or
guarantee obligations, and the Administrative Agent shall take any such action requested by the
Borrower in a timely manner, (i) to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction
not prohibited by any Loan Document or that has been consented to in accordance with Section 11.1
or (ii) under the circumstances described in paragraph (b) below.

          (b) At such time as the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and the other Obligations (other
than obligations under or in respect of Hedge Agreements and other contingent Obligations) shall
have been paid in full (or cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent), the Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding and,
except as otherwise agreed by the affected Qualified Counterparties, the net termination liability
under or in respect of, and other amounts due and payable under, Specified Hedge Agreements at such
time shall have been paid in full or secured by a collateral arrangement satisfactory to the
Qualified Counterparty in its reasonable discretion, the Collateral shall be released from the
Liens created by the Security Documents, and the Security Documents and all obligations (other than
those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Group
Member under the Security Documents shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or
performance of any act by any Person.

110

 

          11.15. Confidentiality. (a) Each Lender shall hold all non-public information regarding
Superholdings and its Subsidiaries and their businesses identified as such by the Borrower and
obtained by such Lender pursuant to the requirements hereof in accordance with such Lender’s
customary procedures for handling confidential information of such nature, it being understood and
agreed by the Borrower that, in any event, a Lender may make (i) disclosures of such information to
Affiliates of such Lender and to their agents and advisors (and to other persons authorized by a
Lender or Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures
otherwise made in accordance with this Section 11.15) on a need to know basis, (ii) disclosures of
such information reasonably required by any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or
participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation by such
Lender of any Loans or any participations therein, (iii) disclosure to any rating agency when
required by it, provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in
writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Group
Members received by it from any of the Agents or any Lender, (iv) disclosure necessary in
connection with the defense of any action, suit or investigation brought against a Lender,
provided, that such Lender shall make reasonable efforts to provide the Borrower with notice of
such disclosure request so that the Borrower may seek a protective order or other appropriate
remedy, and (v) disclosures required or requested by any governmental or regulatory agency or
representative thereof, and self-regulatory organization or representative thereof, or by the NAIC
or pursuant to legal or judicial process; provided, unless specifically prohibited by applicable
law or court order, each Lender shall make reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower of any request
by any governmental agency or representative thereof or any self-regulatory organization or
