Exhibit 10.1

May 17, 2007

Messrs.

L. Lowry Mays

Mark P. Mays, and

Randall T. Mays

200 East Basse Road

San Antonio, Texas 78209

Dear Lowry/Mark/Randall:

Reference is made to (i) the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 16, 2006, as
amended through the date hereof (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among BT Triple Crown
Merger Co., Inc., B Triple Crown FinCo., LLC, T Triple Crown FinCo., LLC, and Clear Channel
Communications Inc. (“CCU”) and (ii) the letter agreement dated November 16, 2006 between
each of you and B Triple Crown FinCo., LLC and T Triple Crown FinCo., LLC (together, the
“Parents”) as amended by that certain extension letter dated March 16, 2007 (such letter
agreement, as so amended, the “November Letter Agreement”) relating to the Merger
Agreement. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the
November Letter Agreement.

In the November Letter Agreement, the parties agreed to commence good faith negotiations with
respect to the definitive Management Agreements and to agree upon the form and terms of such
agreements within one hundred twenty days after the date of execution of the Merger Agreement. The
parties commenced and have continued good faith negotiations, but such negotiations are not yet
complete. By letter agreement dated March 17, 2007, the parties extended the period for
negotiating the Management Agreements.

CCU’s stockholder meeting for approval of the Merger Agreement has been postponed; and it is
anticipated that on or about the date hereof CCU and the other parties to the Merger Agreement will
enter into a second amendment to the Merger Agreement that would, among other things, provide CCU
stockholders a “stock election” mechanic (pursuant to which CCU stockholders would be provided an
opportunity to elect to receive, in exchange for a portion of their CCU shares, shares of a new
holding company, BT Triple Crown Holdings III, Inc., that would join the Merger Agreement and
become the parent corporation of CCU), which in turn will require (i) mailing a new proxy statement
with respect to the proposed transaction, (ii) a further postponement of the CCU stockholder
meeting for consideration of the Merger Agreement and (iii) some changes to the terms of the
Management Agreements to reflect the fact that there will be a new holding company, that stock
options, restricted stock or other management equity incentives will be issued by that new holding
company, and that (because of legal requirements that would apply in light of stock ownership that
would arise from the above-referenced stock election mechanic) the new holding company will have
shares registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The undersigned hereby agree to further amend the November Letter Agreement as follows:

 

 

     (1) the form and terms of the Management Agreements (excluding the Stockholder Agreements (as
defined below)) identified on Annex A to this letter agreement have been fully negotiated among the
parties to this letter agreement in good faith and each are attached hereto in substantially the
form to be executed by the relevant parties (including BT Triple Crown Holdings III, Inc., which
the Parents shall cause to enter into such agreements as applicable), with such other changes, if
any, as the parties may mutually agree; and, subject to the mutual agreement of the terms of the
stockholder’s agreement to be entered into by and between BT Triple Crown Holdings III, Inc., and
each of Messrs. Lowry, Mark and Randall Mays ( the “Stockholder Agreements”) shall be
executed promptly after finalization of the Stockholder Agreements;

     (2) we the Parents and each of you agree to use commercially reasonable best efforts to
negotiate and reach mutual agreement, reasonably and good faith, on the final form and terms of the
Stockholder Agreements as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, but in no event by
no later than thirty days after approval of the Merger by CCU stockholders.

Except as provided herein or as otherwise provided in the Management Agreements (excluding the
Stockholder Agreements), as amended, all other terms of the November Letter Agreement shall remain
in full force and effect as set forth therein.

     AGREEMENT, dated effective as of [CLOSING DATE], by and between BT Triple Crown Merger Co.,
Inc (“MergerSub”, together with its successors, the “Company”), BT Triple Crown Capital Holdings
III, Inc. (“Holdings”) and L. Lowry Mays (“Executive”).

     WHEREAS, Clear Channel Communications, Inc., a Texas corporation and the Executive previously
entered into that certain Employment Agreement dated as of March 10, 2005 (the “Existing
Agreement”); and

     WHEREAS, the Clear Channel Communications, Inc. has entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger dated as of November 16, 2006, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which, on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, MergerSub shall merge within and into Clear
Channel Communications, Inc., with Clear Channel Communications, Inc. surviving such merger at and
after the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and Holdings shall, on the date of
consummation of the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement, be the ultimate parent
holding company of the Company; and

     WHEREAS, the Company and the Executive desire to amend and restate the terms of the Existing
Agreement between the Company and the Executive, to be effective as of the Effective Time; and

     NOW THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the premises and the mutual covenants set forth below, the
parties hereby amend and restate the Existing Agreement effective as of the Effective Time as
follows:

     1. Employment. The Company hereby agrees to continue to employ Executive as the
Chairman Emeritus, and Executive hereby accepts such continued employment, on the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth.

     2. Term. The period of employment of Executive by the Company under this Agreement
(the “Employment Period”) shall commence on the date upon which the Effective Time occurs (the
“Effective Date”) and shall have an original term of five (5) years (the “Original Term”). The
Employment Period shall automatically be extended thereafter for successive terms of one (1) year
each. The Employment Period may be sooner terminated by either party in accordance with Section 6
of this Agreement.

     3. Position and Duties. During the Employment Period, Executive shall serve as
Chairman Emeritus of the Company and of Holdings, and shall report solely and directly to the Board
of Directors (the “Board”) of Holdings. Executive’s duties shall be limited to assisting the Board
of the Company and the Board of Holdings with the overall strategic direction of the Company, as
and to the extent requested by the Board of Holdings. Executive shall devote as much of his
working time, attention and energies during normal business hours (other than absences due to
illness or vacation) to satisfactorily perform his duties for the Company. Notwithstanding the
above, Executive shall be permitted, to the extent such activities do not substantially interfere
with the performance by Executive of his duties and responsibilities

-1-

 

hereunder or violate Section 10 hereof, to (i) manage Executive’s personal, financial and
legal affairs, (ii) serve on civic or charitable boards or committees or on the Board of Directors
of Live Nations Inc. and its committees (it being expressly understood and agreed that Executive’s
continuing to serve on any such boards and/or committees on which Executive is serving, or with
which Executive is otherwise associated, as of the Effective Date shall be deemed not to interfere
with the performance by Executive of his duties and responsibilities under this Agreement), (iii)
deliver lectures or fulfill speaking engagements; and (iv) engage in any other activity that is not
in violation of Section 10 hereof; provided such activities do not conflict with the interests of
the Company or its Affiliates or otherwise interfere (other than to a de minimis extent),
individually or in the aggregate, with the performance of the Executive’s duties hereunder.

     4. Place of Performance. The principal place of employment of Executive shall be at
the Company’s principal executive offices in San Antonio, Texas.

     5. Compensation and Related Matters.

     (a) Base Salary and Bonus. During the Employment Period, the Company shall pay
Executive a base salary at the rate of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) per
year (“Base Salary”). Executive’s Base Salary shall be paid in approximately equal
installments in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll practices. In addition to
Base Salary, Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual bonus (the “Performance
Bonus”). The amount of the Performance Bonus shall be determined by the Board of Holdings
(which may act through its Compensation Committee) in its sole discretion, provided,
however, that in any year during the Employment Period in which the Company achieves at
least eighty percent (80%) of the budgeted OIBDAN for the given year (the “Target OIBDAN”)
as set forth in the Management Plan previously presented to the Sponsor Group1
(as defined in the [___]) and consistent with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), to the extent applicable, such
Performance Bonus shall be no less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000). The Management
Plan will be subject to equitable adjustment by the Compensation Committee of Holdings to
take into account material acquisitions, dispositions and other material extraordinary
events; provided, that the parties hereto will use their reasonable best efforts to
facilitate the payment of the bonuses hereunder on a basis that is consistent with such
payment qualifying for the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) of
the Code and the regulations thereunder. If the Company does not achieve the Target OIBDAN
in any given year, the amount of the Performance Bonus, if any, shall be determined by the
Board of Holdings in its sole discretion. The Performance Bonus, if any, shall be payable
in one lump sum between January 1 and March 15 of the year following the year for which the
Performance Bonus was earned.

     (b) Expenses. The Company shall promptly reimburse Executive for all
reasonable business expenses upon the presentation of reasonably itemized statements of such
expenses, in accordance with the Company’s policies and procedures now in force or as such
policies and procedures may be modified generally with respect to senior executive officers
of the Company.

     (c)  Vacation. Executive shall be entitled to the number of weeks of paid
vacation per year that he was eligible for immediately prior to the date of this Agreement,
but in no event less than four (4) weeks annually. Unused vacation may be carried forward
from year to year. Vacation shall otherwise be governed by the policies of the Company, as
in effect from time to time. In addition to vacation, Executive shall be entitled to the
number of sick days and personal days per year that other senior executive officers of the
Company with similar tenure are entitled to under the Company’s policies.

     (d) Services Furnished. During the Employment Period, the Company shall
furnish Executive with office space, stenographic and secretarial assistance and such other
facilities and services no less favorable than what he was receiving immediately prior to
the date of this Agreement (i.e., one full-time assistant and one part-time
bookkeeper and office space for them). The Company shall also furnish office space for up
to two (2) additional people, to be designated by Executive; provided, however, that such
individuals shall not be on the Company’s payroll and shall not perform services of any kind
for the Company or any of its Affiliates and the Company shall have no liability for
federal, state or local taxes related to the performance of such individuals’ services.

     (e) Welfare, Pension and Incentive Benefit Plans. During the Employment
Period, Executive (and his spouse and dependents to the extent provided) shall be entitled
to participate in and be covered under all the welfare benefit plans or programs maintained
by the Company from time to time for the benefit of its senior executive officers,
including, without limitation, all medical, hospitalization, dental, disability, accidental
death and dismemberment and travel accident insurance plans and programs. During the
Employment Period, the Company shall provide to Executive (and his spouse and dependents to
the extent provided under the applicable plans and programs) the same type and substantially
equivalent levels of participation and employee benefits (except severance pay plans and,
except with the express consent of the Board of Holdings, incentive bonus programs other
than as explicitly set forth in Section 5(a) hereof) as are being provided to other senior
executives (and their spouses and dependents to the extent provided under the applicable
plans or programs) on the Effective Date, subject to modifications affecting all senior
executive officers.

     (f) Other Perquisites. During the Employment Period, Executive shall be
entitled to receive, in the same level and amount as received on November 16, 2006:

	 	(i)	 	the use of an automobile appropriate to his
position;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	reimbursement for the full amount of annual
dues for membership in one social dining club; and
	 
	 	(iii)	 	use of a Company-provided aircraft for
personal travel, in accordance with Company policy as in effect on
November 16, 2006; provided, however, Executive shall be entitled to
continued use of such aircraft on that same basis for ten (10) years
following the Effective Date, regardless of whether Executive remains
employed by the Company.

     6. Termination. Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated under the
following circumstances:

     (a) Death. During the Employment Period, Executive’s employment hereunder
shall terminate upon his death.

     (b) Disability. Following the Original Term, if, as a result of Executive’s
incapacity due to physical or mental illness, Executive shall have been substantially unable
to perform his duties hereunder notwithstanding the provision of reasonable accommodation
for a period of six (6) consecutive months, and within thirty (30) days after written Notice
of Termination is given after such six (6) month period Executive shall not have returned to
the substantial performance of his duties on a full-time basis, the Company shall have the
right to terminate Executive’s employment hereunder for “Disability”, and such termination
in and of itself shall not be, nor shall it be deemed to be, a breach of this Agreement.

     (c) By Executive. During the Employment Period, Executive shall have the right
to terminate his employment by providing the Company with a Notice of Termination at least
thirty (30) days prior to such termination, and such termination shall not in and of itself
be, nor shall it be deemed to be, a breach of this Agreement. In the event of termination
pursuant to this Section 6(c), the Board of the Company may elect to waive the period of
notice, or any portion thereof, and, if the Board so elects, the Company will pay Executive
his Base Salary for the initial thirty (30) days of the notice period or for any lesser
remaining portion of such period, payable in accordance with the regular payroll practices
of the Company.

     (d) By the Company For Extraordinary Cause. During the Original Term, in
addition to termination in accordance with Section 6(a) hereof, the Company shall have the
right to terminate Executive’s employment only for Extraordinary Cause, by providing
Executive with a Notice of Termination, and such termination in and of itself shall not be,
nor shall it be deemed to be, a breach of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement,
the Company shall have “Extraordinary Cause” to terminate Executive’s employment upon
Executive’s:

	 	(i)	 	conviction of a felony or other crime involving
moral turpitude; or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	willful misconduct that is materially and
demonstrably injurious to the Company.

     For purposes of this Section 6(d), no act, or failure to act, by Executive shall be considered
“willful” unless committed in bad faith and without a reasonable belief that the act or omission
was in the best interests of the Company or any entity in control of, controlled by or under common
control with the Company (“Affiliates”) thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, “Affiliates” shall
include Holdings. Extraordinary Cause shall not exist under paragraph (ii) unless and until the
Company has delivered to Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by a majority of the members
of the Board of the Company at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose (after
reasonable (but in no event less than thirty (30) days) notice to Executive and an opportunity for
Executive, together with his counsel, to be heard before the

-4-

 

Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board, Executive was guilty of the conduct
set forth in paragraph (ii) and specifying the particulars thereof in detail; provided that at
least a majority of the members of the Board of Holdings has determined prior to such meeting that
Cause exists. This Section 6(d) shall not prevent Executive from challenging in any arbitration or
court of competent jurisdiction the Board’s determination that Extraordinary Cause exists or that
Executive has failed to cure any act (or failure to act) that purportedly formed the basis for the
Board’s determination.

     (e) By the Company Following the Original Term. Following the Original Term,
the Company shall have the right to terminate Executive’s employment with or without
Extraordinary Cause by providing Executive with a Notice of Termination, and such
termination shall not in and of itself be, nor shall it be deemed to be, a breach of this
Agreement.

     7. Termination Procedure.

     (a) Notice of Termination. Any termination of Executive’s employment during
the Employment Period (other than termination pursuant to Section 6(a)) shall be
communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto in accordance with
Section 14. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice
which indicates the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and sets
forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for
termination of Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated.

     (b) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall mean (i) if Executive’s
employment is terminated by his death, the date of his death, (ii) if Executive’s employment
is terminated pursuant to Section 6(b), thirty (30) days after Notice of Termination
(provided that Executive shall not have returned to the substantial performance of his
duties on a full-time basis during such thirty (30) day period), and (iii) if Executive’s
employment is terminated for any other reason, the date on which a Notice of Termination is
given or any later date set forth in such Notice of Termination.

     8. Compensation Upon Termination. In the event Executive’s employment terminates
during the Employment Period, the Company shall provide Executive with the payments and benefits
set forth below:

     (a) Extraordinary Cause or By Executive. If Executive’s employment is
terminated by the Company for Extraordinary Cause or by Executive, the Company shall pay
Executive his Base Salary, Bonus and unused vacation pay accrued or prorated through the
Date of Termination, and shall reimburse Executive pursuant to Section 5(b) for reasonable
business expenses incurred but not paid prior to such termination of employment (together,
“Final Compensation”). The Base Salary and vacation pay components of Final Compensation
shall be paid in a lump sum as soon as practicable following the Date of Termination, but in
no event later than two and a half months following the end of the taxable year including
the Date of Termination. The Bonus component of Final Compensation shall be calculated by
multiplying the amount of the Performance Bonus Executive would have earned had he remained
employed for the full year (if any) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of
days during such year

-5-

 

that Executive was employed and the denominator of which is 365, and shall be paid at
the time bonuses for the year in which the Date of Termination occurs are paid to executives
of the Company generally, but in no event later than two and a half months following the end
of the taxable year in which the Date of Termination occurs. The Company shall have no
further obligation to Executive upon such termination under this Agreement.

     (b) Death. If Executive’s employment is terminated by his death, the Company
shall pay Final Compensation to Executive’s beneficiary, legal representatives or estate, as
the case may be, at the time and in the manner set forth in Section 8(a) hereof. The Company
shall have no further obligation to Executive upon such termination under this Agreement.

     (c) Termination By the Company Without Extraordinary Cause Following the Original
Term. If, following the Original Term, the Company terminates Executive’s employment
without Extraordinary Cause:

	 	(i)	 	the Company shall pay Executive the Final
Compensation at the time and in the manner set forth in Section 8(a)
hereof, except that Executive shall not receive the Bonus component of
Final Compensation;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	provided that Executive signs and returns to
the Company a timely and effective release of claims substantially in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Executive Release
of Claims”), the Company shall pay Executive a lump-sum cash payment
equivalent to any Base Salary and Performance Bonus to which he would
otherwise have been entitled had he remained employed for the remainder
of the then-current term. Following the Company’s receipt of a timely
and effective Release of Claims, the Company and Holdings shall execute
a release of claims in favor of Executive substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Company Release of Claims”).
Any Base Salary to which Executive is entitled to hereunder shall be
paid within ninety (90) days following the Date of Termination, and any
Performance Bonus to which Executive is entitled hereunder shall be
paid at the time bonuses for the year in which termination occurs are
paid to executives of the Company generally, but in no event later than
two and a half months following the end of the taxable year including
the Date of Termination. The Executive Release of Claims required for
this benefit creates legally binding obligations on Executive and the
Company and its Affiliates therefore advise Executive to seek the
advice of an attorney before signing it; and
	 
	 	(iii)	 	the Company shall maintain in full force and
effect, for the continued benefit of the Executive and his eligible
dependents, for a period of five (5) years following the Date of
Termination the medical and hospitalization insurance programs in which
the

-6-

 

	 	 	 	Executive and his dependents were participating immediately prior to
the Date of Termination, at the level in effect and upon
substantially the same terms and conditions (including without
limitation contributions required by Executive for such benefits) as
existed immediately prior to the Date of Termination; provided, that
if Executive or his dependents cannot continue to participate in the
Company plans and programs providing these benefits, the Company
shall arrange to provide Executive and his dependents with the
economic equivalent of such benefits which they otherwise would have
been entitled to receive under such plans and programs (the
“Continued Benefits”), provided, that such Continued Benefits shall
terminate on the date or dates Executive receives equivalent coverage
and benefits, without waiting period or pre-existing condition
limitations, under the plans and programs of a subsequent employer.
The Company shall also provide the Executive with an additional cash
payment in an amount equal to the federal, state and local taxes due
in connection with the Continued Benefits, which shall be payable to
Executive within five (5) business days following the Effective Time
(the “Gross-Up Payment”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Section 8(c)(iii), the aggregate value of the Continued
Benefits and the Gross-Up Payment shall in no event exceed Three
Million Dollars ($3,000,000) (the “Aggregate Cap”); accordingly, the
Company’s obligation to provide the Continued Benefits shall cease
once the value of the Gross-Up Payment and the Continued Benefits
that have been provided to the Executive and/or his dependents
reaches the Aggregate Cap, even if such date occurs prior to the five
(5)-year anniversary of the Date of Termination.

-7-

 

     (d) Disability Following the Original Term. If Executive’s employment is
terminated by reason of his Disability following the Original Term, the Company shall pay
Executive the Final Compensation at the time and in the manner set forth in Section 8(a)
hereof. The Company shall have no further obligation to Executive upon such termination
under this Agreement.

     (e) Timing of Payments. If at the time of Executive’s separation from service,
Executive is a “specified employee,” as hereinafter defined, any and all amounts payable
under this Section 8 in connection with such separation from service that constitute
deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of Code (“Section 409A”), as determined by the
Company in its sole discretion, and that would (but for this sentence) be payable within six
months following such separation from service, shall instead be paid on the date that
follows the date of such separation from service by six (6) months. For purposes of the
preceding sentence, “separation from service” shall be determined in a manner consistent
with subsection (a)(2)(A)(i) of Section 409A and the term “specified employee” shall mean an
individual determined by the Company to be a specified employee as defined in subsection
(a)(2)(B)(i) of Section 409A.

     9. Mitigation. Executive shall not be required to mitigate amounts payable under this
Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, and there shall be no offset against amounts
due Executive under this Agreement on account of subsequent employment except as specifically
provided herein. Additionally, amounts owed to Executive under this Agreement shall not be offset
by any claims the Company may have against Executive, and the Company’s obligation to make the
payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall
not be affected by any other circumstances, including, without limitation, any counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right which the Company may have against Executive or others.

     10. Restrictive Covenants.

     (a) Confidential Information.

	 	(i)	 	Executive acknowledges that the Company and its
Affiliates continually develop Confidential Information, that Executive
has developed and will develop Confidential Information for the Company
or its Affiliates, and that Executive has learned and will learn of
Confidential Information during the course of his employment.
Executive will comply with the policies and procedures of the Company
and its Affiliates for protecting Confidential Information. Executive
shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all
trade secrets and Confidential Information, knowledge or data relating
to the Company, its Affiliates and their businesses and investments,
which shall have been obtained by Executive during Executive’s
employment by the Company and which is not generally available public
knowledge (other than by acts of Executive in violation of this
Agreement or by any other person having an obligation of
confidentiality to the Company or any of its Affiliates). Except as

-8-

 

	 	 	 	may be required or appropriate in connection with carrying out his
duties under this Agreement, Executive shall not, without the prior
written consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required by law
or any legal process, or as is necessary in connection with any
adversarial proceeding against the Company (in which case Executive
shall use his reasonable best efforts in cooperating with the Company
in obtaining a protective order against disclosure by a court of
competent jurisdiction), use, communicate or divulge any such trade
secrets, Confidential Information, knowledge or data to anyone other
than the Company and those designated by the Company or on behalf of
the Company in the furtherance of its business. Executive
understands that this restriction shall continue to apply after his
employment terminates, regardless of the reason for such termination.
	 
	 	 	 	For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean
any and all information of the Company and its Affiliates that is
not generally known by those with whom the Company or any of its
Affiliates competes or does business, or with whom the Company or any
of its Affiliates plans to compete or do business, and any and all
information, publicly known in whole or in part or not, which, if
disclosed by the Company or any of its Affiliates, would assist in
competition against them. Confidential Information includes without
limitation such information relating to (i) the development,
research, testing, manufacturing, marketing and financial activities
of the Company and its Affiliates, (ii) the costs, sources of supply,
financial performance and strategic plans of the Company and its
Affiliates, (iii) the identity and special needs of the customers of
the Company and its Affiliates and (iv) the people and
organizations with whom the Company and its Affiliates have business
relationships and the nature and substance of those relationships.
Confidential Information also includes any information that the
Company or any of its Affiliates has received, or may receive
hereafter, belonging to customers or others with any understanding,
express or implied, that the information would not be disclosed to
others.
	 
	 	 	 	For purposes of this Agreement, “Affiliates” shall mean all persons
and entities directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or
under common control with the Company, where control may be by
management authority, contract or equity interest. For the avoidance
of doubt, “Affiliates” shall include Holdings.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	All documents, records, tapes and other media
of every kind and description relating to the business, present or
otherwise, of the Company or its Affiliates, and any copies, in whole
or in part, thereof (the “Documents”), whether or not prepared by
Executive,

-9-

 

	 	 	 	shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company and its
Affiliates. Executive shall safeguard all Documents and shall
surrender to the Company at the time his employment terminates, or at
such earlier time or times as the Board of the Company or Holdings or
its designee may specify, all Documents then in Executive’s
possession or control.

     (b) Restricted Activities. Executive hereby agrees that some restrictions on
his activities during and after his employment are necessary to protect the goodwill, trade
secrets, Confidential Information and other legitimate interests of the Company and its
Affiliates. In consideration of Executive’s employment hereunder, and the Company’s
agreement to grant Executive access to trade secrets and other Confidential Information of
the Company and its Affiliates and to their customers, and in view of the confidential
position to be held by Executive hereunder, Executive agrees as follows:

	 	(i)	 	Non-Solicitation. During the
Employment Period and during the two year period immediately following
termination of the Employment Period (the “Restricted Period”),
Executive shall not, directly or indirectly: (A) hire, solicit for
hiring or assist in any way in the hiring of any employee or
independent contractor of the Company or any of its Affiliates, or
induce or otherwise attempt to influence any employee or independent
contractor to terminate or diminish such employment or contractor
relationship or to become employed by any other radio broadcasting
station or any other entity engaged in the radio business, the
television business or in any other business in which the Company or
any of its Affiliates is engaged (which, for the avoidance of doubt,
includes without limitation the business of providing clients with
advertising opportunities through billboards, street furniture
displays, transit displays and other out-of-home advertising displays,
such as wallscapes, spectaculars and mall displays (the “Outdoor
Business”)), or (B) solicit or encourage any customer of the Company or
any of its Affiliates to terminate or diminish its relationship with
them, or seek to persuade any such customer or prospective customer to
conduct with anyone else any business or activity which such customer
or prospective customer conducts or could conduct with the Company or
any of its Affiliates. For purposes of this Agreement, an “employee”
of the Company or any of its Affiliates is any person who was such at
any time within the preceding two years; a “customer” of the Company or
any of its Affiliates is any person or entity who is or has been a
customer at any time within the preceding two years; and a “prospective
customer” is any person or entity whose business has been solicited on
behalf of the Company or any of its Affiliates at any time within the
preceding two years, other than by form letter, blanket mailing or
published advertisement.

-10-

 

	 	(ii)	 	Non-Competition. During the Restricted
Period, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, whether as owner,
partner, investor, consultant, agent, employee, co-venturer or
otherwise, compete with the Company or any of its Affiliates within the
United States or anywhere else in the world where the Company or any of
its Affiliates does business, or undertake any planning for any
business competitive with the Company or any of its Affiliates.
Specifically, but without limiting the foregoing, Executive agrees not
to engage in any manner in any activity that is directly or indirectly
competitive or potentially competitive with the business of the Company
or any of its Affiliates as conducted or under consideration at any
time during Executive’s employment, and Executive further agrees not to
work for or provide services to, in any capacity, whether as an
employee, independent contractor or otherwise, whether with or without
compensation, any person or entity that is engaged in any business that
is competitive with the business of the Company or any of its
Affiliates for which the Executive has provided services, as conducted
or in planning during his employment. For the purposes of this Section
10, the business of the Company and its Affiliates shall include the
radio and television businesses, the Outdoor Business and any other
business that was conducted or in planning during the Executive’s
employment. The foregoing, however, shall not prevent Executive’s
direct or beneficial ownership of up to five percent (5%) of the equity
securities of any entity, whether or not in the same or competing
business.

     (c) Assignment of Rights to Intellectual Property.

	 	(i)	 	Executive shall promptly and fully disclose all
Intellectual Property to the Company. Executive hereby assigns and
agrees to assign to the Company (or as otherwise directed by the
Company) Executive’s full right, title and interest in and to all
Intellectual Property. Executive agrees to execute any and all
applications for domestic and foreign patents, copyrights or other
proprietary rights and to do such other acts (including without
limitation the execution and delivery of instruments of further
assurance or confirmation) requested by the Company to assign the
Intellectual Property to the Company and to permit the Company to
enforce any patents, copyrights or other proprietary rights to the
Intellectual Property. Executive will not charge the Company for time
spent in complying with these obligations. All copyrightable works
that Executive creates shall be considered “work made for hire” and
shall, upon creation, be owned exclusively by the Company.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	For purposes of this Agreement, “Intellectual
Property” means:

-11-

 

	 	 	 	inventions, discoveries, developments, methods, processes,
compositions, works, concepts and ideas (whether or not patentable or
copyrightable or constituting trade secrets) conceived, made,
created, developed or reduced to practice by Executive (whether alone
or with others, whether or not during normal business hours or on or
off Company premises) during Executive’s employment that relate to
either the Products or any prospective activity of the Company or any
of its Affiliates or that make use of Confidential Information or
any of the equipment or facilities of the Company or any of its
Affiliates; and “Products” means all products planned, researched,
developed, tested, manufactured, sold, licensed, leased or otherwise
distributed or put into use by the Company or any of its Affiliates,
together with all services provided or planned by the Company or any
of its Affiliates, during Executive’s employment.

     (d) Conflict of Interest. Executive agrees that, during his employment with
the Company, he will not undertake any outside activity, whether or not competitive with the
business of the Company or its Affiliates, that could reasonably give rise to a conflict of
interest or otherwise interfere with his duties and obligations to the Company or any of its
Affiliates.

     (e) Modification of Covenants. The parties hereby acknowledge that the
restrictions in this Section 10 have been specifically negotiated and agreed to by the
parties hereto, and are limited only to those restrictions necessary to protect the Company
and its Affiliates from unfair competition. Executive acknowledges that he has carefully
read and considered all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the
restrictions in Section 10 hereof, and agrees without reservation that each of the
restraints contained herein is necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the
goodwill, trade secrets, Confidential Information and other legitimate interests of the
Company and its Affiliates; and that each and every one of those restraints is reasonable in
respect to subject matter, length of time and geographic area. Executive acknowledges that
the Company operates in major, medium and small-sized markets throughout the United States
and many foreign countries, that the effect of Section 10(b) may be to prevent him from
working in a competitive business after his termination of employment hereunder, and that
these restraints, individually or in the aggregate, will not prevent him from obtaining
other suitable employment during the period in which he is bound by such restraints. The
parties hereby agree that if the scope or enforceability of any provision, paragraph or
subparagraph of this Section 10 is in any way disputed at any time, and should a court find
that such restrictions are overly broad, the court shall modify and enforce the covenant to
permit its enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by law. Each provision, paragraph
and subparagraph of this Section 10 is separable from every other provision, paragraph, and
subparagraph, and constitutes a separate and distinct covenant.

     (f) Remedies. Executive hereby expressly acknowledges that any breach or
threatened breach by Executive of any of the terms set forth in Section 10 of this

-12-

 

Agreement would result in significant, irreparable and continuing injury to the
Company, the monetary value of which would be difficult to establish or measure. Therefore,
Executive agrees that, in addition to any other remedies available to it, the Company shall
be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief in a court of appropriate
jurisdiction against any breach or threatened breach, without having to post bond, as well
as the recovery of all reasonable attorney’s fees expended in enforcing its rights
hereunder.

     11. Indemnification.

     (a) General. The Company agrees that if Executive is made a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that Executive is or
was a trustee, director or officer of the Company, Holdings, or any subsidiary thereof, or
is or was serving at the request of the Company or any subsidiary as a trustee, director,
officer, member, employee or agent of another corporation or a partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, including, without limitation, service with respect to employee
benefit plans, whether or not the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an official
capacity as a trustee, director, officer, member, employee or agent while serving as a
trustee, director, officer, member, employee or agent, Executive shall be indemnified and
held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by Texas law, as the same
exists or may hereafter be amended, against all Expenses incurred or suffered by Executive
in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to Executive even if
Executive has ceased to be an officer, director, trustee or agent, or is no longer employed
by the Company, and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and administrators.

     (b) Expenses. As used in this Agreement, the term “Expenses” shall include,
without limitation, damages, losses, judgments, liabilities, fines, penalties, excise taxes,
settlements, costs, attorneys’ fees, accountants’ fees, and disbursements and costs of
attachment or similar bonds, investigations, and any expenses of establishing a right to
indemnification under this Agreement.

     (c) Enforcement. If a valid claim or request under this Agreement is not paid
by the Company or on its behalf within thirty (30) days after a written claim or request has
been received by the Company, Executive may at any time thereafter bring suit against the
Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim or request and, if successful in whole or
in part, Executive shall be further entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such
suit. All obligations for indemnification hereunder shall be subject to, and paid in
accordance with, applicable Texas law.

     (d) Partial Indemnification. If Executive is entitled under any provision of
this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of any Expenses, but
not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify
Executive for the portion of such Expenses to which Executive is entitled.

     (e) Advances of Expenses. Expenses incurred by Executive in connection with
any Proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance upon request of Executive

-13-

 

that the Company pay such Expenses; but, only in the event that Executive shall have
delivered in writing to the Company (i) an undertaking to reimburse the Company for Expenses
with respect to which Executive is not entitled to indemnification and (ii) an affirmation
of his good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the
Company has been met.

     (f) Notice of Claim. Executive shall give to the Company notice of any claim
made against him for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement. In
addition, Executive shall give the Company such information and cooperation as it may
reasonably require and as shall be within Executive’s power and at such times and places as
are mutually convenient for Executive and the Company.

     (g) Defense of Claim. With respect to any Proceeding as to which Executive
notifies the Company of the commencement thereof:

	 	(i)	 	The Company will be entitled to participate
therein at its own expense; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Except as otherwise provided below, to the
extent that it may wish, the Company will be entitled to assume the
defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Executive,
which in the Company’s sole discretion may be regular counsel to the
Company and may be counsel to other officers and directors of the
Company or any subsidiary. Executive shall also have the right to
employ his own counsel in such action, suit or proceeding if he
reasonably concludes that failure to do so would involve a conflict of
interest between the Company and Executive, and, under such
circumstances, the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of the Company.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	The Company shall not be liable to indemnify
Executive under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of
any action or claim effected without its written consent. The Company
shall not settle any action or claim in any manner which would impose
any penalty or limitation on Executive without Executive’s written
consent. Neither the Company nor Executive will unreasonably withhold
or delay their consent to any proposed settlement.

     (h) Non-exclusivity. The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses
incurred in defending a Proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this
Section 11 shall not be exclusive of any other right which Executive may have or hereafter
may acquire under any statute, provision of the declaration of trust or certificate of
incorporation or by-laws of the Company, Holdings, or any subsidiary, agreement, vote of
shareholders or disinterested directors or trustees, or otherwise.

     12. Arbitration. Except as provided for in Section 10 of this Agreement, if any
contest or dispute arises between the parties with respect to this Agreement, such contest or
dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration for resolution in San Antonio, Texas in

-14-

 

accordance with the rules and procedures of the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the
American Arbitration Association then in effect. The decision of the appointed arbitrator shall be
final and binding on both parties, and any court of competent jurisdiction may enter judgment upon
the award. The losing party shall pay all expenses relating to such arbitration, including, but
not limited to, the prevailing party’s legal fees and expenses.

     13. Successors; Binding Agreement.

     (a) Company’s Successors. No rights or obligations of the Company under this
Agreement may be assigned or transferred, except that the Company will require any successor
(whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or
substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree
to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would
be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement,
“Company” shall mean the Company as hereinabove defined and any successor to its business
and/or assets (by merger, purchase or otherwise) which executes and delivers the agreement
provided for in this Section 13 or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and
provisions of this Agreement by operation of law.

     (b) Executive’s Successors. No rights or obligations of Executive under this
Agreement may be assigned or transferred by Executive other than his right to payments or
benefits hereunder, which may be transferred only by will or the laws of descent and
distribution. Upon Executive’s death, this Agreement and all rights of Executive hereunder
shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s beneficiary or
beneficiaries, personal or legal representatives, or estate, to the extent any such person
succeeds to Executive’s interests under this Agreement. Executive shall be entitled to
select and change a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any benefit or compensation
payable hereunder following Executive’s death by giving the Company written notice thereof.
In the event of Executive’s death or a judicial determination of his incompetence, reference
in this Agreement to Executive shall be deemed, where appropriate, to refer to his
beneficiary(ies), estate or other legal representative(s). If Executive should die following
his Date of Termination while any amounts would still be payable to him hereunder if he had
continued to live, all such amounts unless otherwise provided herein shall be paid in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement to such person or persons so designated in
writing by Executive, or otherwise to his legal representatives or estate.

     14. Notice. For the purposes of this Agreement, notices, demands and all other
communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been
duly given when delivered either personally or by United States certified or registered mail,

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     AGREEMENT, dated effective as of [CLOSING DATE], by and between BT Triple Crown Merger Co.,
Inc. (“MergerSub”, together with its successors, the “Company”), BT Triple Crown Capital Holdings
III, Inc. (“Holdings”) and [Mark/Randall] Mays (“Executive”).

     WHEREAS, Clear Channel Communications, Inc., a Texas corporation and Executive previously
entered into that certain Employment Agreement dated as of March 10, 2005 (the “Existing
Agreement”); and

     WHEREAS, Clear Channel Communications, Inc. has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
dated as of November 16, 2006, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which, on the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth therein, MergerSub shall merge within and into Clear
Channel Communications, Inc., with Clear Channel Communications, Inc. surviving such merger at and
after the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and Holdings shall, on the date of
consummation of the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement, be the ultimate parent
holding company of the Company; and

     WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire to amend and restate the terms of the Existing
Agreement between the Company and Executive, to be effective as of the Effective Time.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants set forth below, the
parties hereby amend and restate the Existing Agreement effective as of the Effective Time as
follows:

     1. Employment. The Company hereby agrees to continue to employ Executive as the
[Mark: Chief Executive Officer; Randall: President], and Executive hereby accepts such continued
employment, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

     2. Term. The period of employment of Executive by the Company under this Agreement
(the “Employment Period”) shall commence on the date upon which the Effective Time occurs (the
“Effective Date”) and shall have an original term of five (5) years, and shall be automatically
extended thereafter for successive terms of one year each, unless either party provides notice to
the other at least twelve months prior to the expiration of the original or any extension term that
the Agreement is not to be extended. The Employment Period may be sooner terminated by either
party in accordance with Section 6 of this Agreement.

     3. Position and Duties. During the Employment Period, Executive shall serve as [Mark:
Chief Executive Officer; Randall: President] of the Company, and shall report solely and directly
to the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Holdings. Executive shall have those powers and duties
normally associated with the position of [Mark: Chief Executive Officer; Randall: President] of
entities comparable to the Company and such other powers and duties as may be prescribed by the
Board; provided, that such other powers and duties are consistent with Executive’s position as
[Mark: Chief Executive Officer; Randall: President.] Executive shall devote as much of his working
time, attention and energies during normal business hours (other

-1-

 

than absences due to illness or vacation) to satisfactorily perform his duties for the
Company. Notwithstanding the above, Executive shall be permitted, to the extent such activities do
not substantially interfere with the performance by Executive of his duties and responsibilities
hereunder or violate Section 11 hereof, to (i) manage Executive’s personal, financial and legal
affairs, (ii) serve on civic or charitable boards or committees or on the Board of Directors of
Live Nation Inc. and its committees (it being expressly understood and agreed that Executive’s
continuing to serve on any such boards and/or committees on which Executive is serving, or with
which Executive is otherwise associated, as of the Effective Date shall be deemed not to interfere
with the performance by Executive of his duties and responsibilities under this Agreement), and
(iii) deliver lectures or fulfill speaking engagements. During the Employment Period, for so long
as Executive remains an officer of the Company, (i) Executive shall also serve as a member of the
Board of the Company, and (ii) Executive shall also serve as [Mark: Chief Executive Officer;
Randall: President] of Holdings and as a member of the Board of Holdings.

     4. Place of Performance. The principal place of employment of Executive shall be at
the Company’s principal executive offices in San Antonio, Texas.

     5. Compensation and Related Matters.

     (a) Base Salary and Bonus. During the Employment Period, the Company shall pay
Executive a base salary at the rate of not less than [Mark: $[2006 Base salary] Randall:
$[2006 Base Salary] per year (“Base Salary”). Executive’s Base Salary shall be paid in
approximately equal installments in accordance with the Company’s customary payroll
practices. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Holdings (the “Committee”) shall
review Executive’s Base Salary for increase (but not decrease) no less frequently than
annually and consistent with the executive compensation practices and guidelines of the
Company and Holdings. If Executive’s Base Salary is increased by the Company, such
increased Base Salary shall then constitute the Base Salary for all purposes of this
Agreement. In addition to Base Salary, Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual
bonus (the “Performance Bonus”). Unless the Board of Holdings and Executive mutually agree
otherwise, the amount of the Performance Bonus shall be determined by the Board of Directors
of Holdings (which may act through its Compensation Committee) in its sole discretion,
provided, however, that in any year during the Employment Period in which the Company
achieves at least eighty percent (80%) of the budgeted OIBDAN for the given year (the
“Target OIBDAN”), as set forth in the Management Plan previously presented to the Sponsor
Group1 (as defined in the [___]) and consistent with the requirements of Section
162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), to the extent
applicable, such Performance Bonus shall be no less than [$___].2 The
Management Plan will be subject to equitable adjustment by the Compensation Committee of
Holdings to take into account material acquisitions, dispositions and other material
extraordinary events; provided, that the parties hereto will use their reasonable best
efforts to facilitate the payment of the bonuses hereunder on a basis that is consistent
with such payments qualifying for the performance-based compensation exception under Section
162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder. If the Company does not achieve the
Target OIBDAN in any given year, the amount of the Performance Bonus, if any, shall be
determined by the

 

			
	1	 	Presented on May 17, 2007.
	 
	2	 	Insert dollar amount of the bonus paid to the
Executive in respect of 2006.

-2-

 

Board of Holdings in its sole discretion. The Performance Bonus, if any, shall be
payable in one lump sum between January 1 and March 15 of the year following the year for
which the Performance Bonus was earned.

     (b) Expenses and Perquisites. The Company shall promptly reimburse Executive
for all reasonable business expenses upon the presentation of reasonably itemized statements
of such expenses, in accordance with the Company’s policies and procedures now in force or
as such policies and procedures may be modified generally with respect to senior executive
officers of the Company. In addition, during the Employment Period, Executive shall be
entitled to, at the sole expense of the Company:

	 	(i)	 	the use of an automobile appropriate to his
position and no less qualitative than the automobile provided to him
immediately prior to the date of this Agreement; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	use of a Company-provided aircraft for personal
travel, in accordance with Company policy as in effect on November 16,
2006 (the “Aircraft Benefit”).

     (c) Vacation. Executive shall be entitled to the number of weeks of paid
vacation per year that he was eligible for immediately prior to the date of this Agreement,
but in no event less than four (4) weeks annually. Unused vacation may be carried forward
from year to year. Vacation shall otherwise be governed by the policies of the Company, as
in effect from time to time. In addition to vacation, Executive shall be entitled to the
number of sick days and personal days per year that other senior executive officers of the
Company with similar tenure are entitled to under the Company’s policies.

     (d) Services Furnished. During the Employment Period, the Company shall
furnish Executive with office space, stenographic and secretarial assistance and such other
facilities and services no less favorable than what he was receiving immediately prior to
the date of this Agreement or, if better, as provided to other senior executive officers of
the Company (other than the Chairman Emeritus).

     (e) Welfare, Pension and Incentive Benefit Plans. During the Employment
Period, subject to the terms of the applicable plan documents and generally applicable
Company policies, Executive (and his spouse and dependents to the extent provided therein)
shall be entitled to participate in and be covered under all the welfare benefit plans or
programs maintained by the Company from time to time for the benefit of its senior
executives (other than benefits maintained exclusively for the Chairman Emeritus),
including, without limitation, all medical, hospitalization, dental, disability, accidental
death and dismemberment and travel accident insurance plans and programs. During the
Employment Period, the Company shall provide to Executive (and his spouse and dependents to
the extent provided under the applicable plans or programs) the same type and substantially
equivalent levels of participation and employee benefits (other than severance pay plans
and, except with the express consent of the Board of Holdings, incentive bonus programs
other than as explicitly set forth in Section 5(a) hereof) as are being provided to other
senior executives (and their spouses and dependents to the extent provided under the
applicable plans or programs) on the Effective Date, subject to modifications affecting all
senior executive officers.

-3-

 

     (f) Equity Incentive Award. At or promptly following the Effective Time, the
Company will grant Executive an equity incentive award pursuant to a new equity incentive
plan substantially in the form of the draft Clear Channel Capital III, Inc. 2007 Equity
Incentive Plan attached hereto as Exhibit A and related restricted stock and stock
option award agreements in substantially the forms attached hereto as Exhibits B
and C, respectively. Executive shall not be eligible to receive any stock
options, restricted stock or other equity of the Company or Holdings, whether under an
equity incentive plan or otherwise, except as expressly provided for in this Agreement or as
expressly authorized for him individually by the Board of Holdings.

     (g) Equity Rollover and Purchased Equity.

	 	(i)	 	Effective as of the Effective Date, Executive
will exchange [___] shares of Company common stock previously issued
to him and the currently held options to acquire shares of Company
common stock (“Old Options”) that are identified on Exhibit D,
all on the terms and subject to the conditions of a Rollover Option
Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
E-1 and the Restricted Stock Agreement substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit E-2. The total value (based on,
with respect to shares of Company common stock, the Cash Consideration
(as defined under the Merger Agreement), and with respect to the Old
Options, the excess of the Cash Consideration over the per share
exercise price) by of all of the foregoing will not exceed $10 million.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Executive may subscribe for a purchase of
$[___] in additional equity securities of the Company or of a holding
company Affiliate on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in Exhibit F.

     6. Termination. Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated during the
Employment Period under the following circumstances:

     (a) Death. Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon his death.

     (b) Disability. If, as a result of Executive’s incapacity due to physical or
mental illness, Executive shall have been substantially unable to perform his duties
hereunder notwithstanding the provision of reasonable accommodation for a period of six (6)
consecutive months, and within thirty (30) days after written Notice of Termination is given
after such six (6) month period Executive shall not have returned to the substantial
performance of his duties on a full-time basis, the Company shall have the right to
terminate Executive’s employment hereunder for “Disability”, and such termination in and of
itself shall not be, nor shall it be deemed to be, a breach of this Agreement.

     (c) Cause. The Company shall have the right to terminate Executive’s
employment for Cause by providing Executive with a written Notice of Termination, and such
termination in and of itself shall not be, nor shall it be deemed to be, a breach of this
Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean:

	 	(i)	 	Executive’s willful and continued failure to
perform his material duties with respect to the Company or its
Affiliates which, if curable, continues beyond ten business days after
a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to Executive
by the Company; or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Willful or intentional engaging by Executive in
material misconduct that causes material and demonstrable injury,
monetarily or otherwise, to the Company, the Sponsor Group (as defined
in the [___]) or any of their respective Affiliates; or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Executive’s conviction of, or a plea of nolo
contendre to, a crime constituting (A) a felony under the laws of the
United States or any state thereof; or (B) a misdemeanor involving
moral turpitude that causes material and demonstrable injury,
monetarily or otherwise, to the Company, the Sponsor Group or any of
their respective Affiliates; or
	 
	 	(iv)	 	Executive’s committing or engaging in any act
of fraud, embezzlement, theft or other act of dishonesty against the
Company or its Affiliates that causes material and demonstrable injury,
monetarily or otherwise, to the Company, the Sponsor Group or any of
their respective Affiliates; or
	 
	 	(v)	 	Executive’s breach of any provision of Section
11 hereof that causes material and demonstrable injury, monetarily or
otherwise, to the Company, the Sponsor Group or any of their respective
Affiliates.

Whether “Cause” exists shall be determined by at least a majority of the members of the Board of
the Company at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose, provided that at least a
majority of the members of the Board of Holdings has determined prior to such meeting that Cause
exists.

     (d) Good Reason. Executive may terminate his employment for “Good Reason” by
providing the Company with a written Notice of Termination. The following events, without
the written consent of Executive, shall constitute “Good Reason”:

	 	(i)	 	Reduction in Executive’s Base Salary or annual
incentive compensation opportunity, other than any isolated,
insubstantial and inadvertent failure by the Company that is not in bad
faith and is cured within ten (10) business days after Executive gives
the Company notice of such event; or
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Substantial diminution in Executive’s title,
duties and responsibilities, other than any isolated, insubstantial and
inadvertent failure by the Company that is not in bad faith and is
cured within ten (10) business days after Executive gives the Company
notice of such event; or

	 	(iii)	 	Failure by the Company to provide the Aircraft
Benefit or any material breach of its obligations to provide such
Benefit, which is other than insubstantial, inadvertent, not in bad
faith and is not repeated; or
	 
	 	(iv)	 	Transfer of Executive’s primary workplace
outside the city limits of San Antonio, Texas;

Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s provision of notice of
non-renewal of the Agreement pursuant to Section 2 hereof, alone or in combination with the
transition of Executive’s duties to another employee during the notice period, shall not
constitute Good Reason.

Executive expressly waives any rights he might otherwise have, under the Existing Agreement
or otherwise, to resign for Good Reason or otherwise receive any compensation in the nature
of severance or separation pay or benefits as a result of the transaction contemplated by
the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among BT Triple Crown Merger Co., Inc., B Triple
Crown Finco, LLC, T Triple Crown Finco, LLC and Clear Channel Communications, Inc. dated as
of November 16, 2006, as amended on April 18, 2007 and May 17, 2007 (the “Transaction”).

     (e) Without Cause. The Company shall have the right to terminate Executive’s
employment hereunder without Cause by providing Executive with a Notice of Termination at
least thirty (30) days prior to such termination, and such termination shall not in and of
itself be, nor shall it be deemed to be, a breach of this Agreement. In the event of
termination pursuant to this Section 6(e), the Board of the Company may elect to waive the
period of notice, or any portion thereof, and, if the Board so elects, the Company will pay
Executive his Base Salary for the initial thirty (30) days of the notice period or for any
lesser remaining portion of such period, payable in accordance with the regular payroll
practices of the Company.

     (f) Without Good Reason. Executive shall have the right to terminate his
employment hereunder without Good Reason by providing the Company with a Notice of
Termination at least thirty (30) days prior to such termination, and such termination shall
not in and of itself be, nor shall it be deemed to be, a breach of this Agreement. In the
event of termination pursuant to this Section 6(f), the Board of the Company may elect to
waive the period of notice, or any portion thereof, and, if the Board so elects, the Company
will pay Executive his Base Salary for the initial thirty (30) days of the notice period or
for any lesser remaining portion of such period, payable in accordance with the regular
payroll practices of the Company.

     7. Termination Procedure.

     (a) Notice of Termination. Any termination of Executive’s employment by the
Company or by Executive during the Employment Period (other than termination pursuant to
Section 6(a)) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party
hereto in accordance with Section 15. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Notice of
Termination” shall mean a notice which indicates the specific termination provision in this
Agreement relied upon, and sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and

-6-

 

circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Executive’s employment
under the provision so indicated.

     (b) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall mean (i) if Executive’s
employment is terminated by his death, the date of death, (ii) if Executive’s employment is
terminated pursuant to Section 6(b), thirty (30) days after Notice of Termination (provided
that Executive shall not have returned to the substantial performance of his duties on a
full-time basis during such thirty (30) day period), and (iii) if Executive’s employment is
terminated for any other reason, the date on which a Notice of Termination is given or any
later date set forth in such Notice of Termination.

     8. Compensation Upon Termination or During Disability. In the event Executive is
disabled or his employment terminates during the Employment Period, the Company shall provide
Executive with the payments and benefits set forth below; provided, however, that any obligation of
the Company to Executive under Section 8(a), other than for Final Compensation, is expressly
conditioned upon Executive signing and returning to the Company a timely and effective release of
claims substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (the “Executive Release of
Claims”). Following the Company’s receipt of a timely and effective Release of Claims, the Company
and Holdings shall execute a release of claims in favor of Executive substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit H (the “Company Release of Claims”). The Executive Release of
Claims required for separation benefits in accordance with Section 8(a) creates legally binding
obligations on the part of Executive, and the Company and its Affiliates therefore advise Executive
and his beneficiary or legal representative, as applicable, to seek the advice of an attorney
before signing it.

     (a) Termination By the Company Without Cause or By Executive for Good Reason.
If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Executive for
Good Reason:

	 	(i)	 	the Company shall pay to Executive his Base
Salary, Bonus and unused vacation pay accrued or prorated through the
Date of Termination, and shall reimburse Executive pursuant to Section
5(b) for reasonable business expenses incurred but not paid prior to
such termination of employment (together, “Final Compensation”). The
Base Salary and vacation components of Final Compensation shall be paid
in a lump sum as soon as practicable following the Date of Termination,
but in no event later than two and a half months following the end of
the taxable year including the Date of Termination. The Bonus
component of Final Compensation shall be calculated by multiplying the
amount of the Performance Bonus (if any) Executive would have earned
had he remained employed for the full year in which the Date of
Termination occurs by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number
of days during such year that Executive was employed and the
denominator of which is 365, and shall be paid at the times bonuses for
the year in which the Date of Termination occurs are paid to executives
of the Company generally, but in no event later than two and a half
months following the end of the taxable year in which the Date of
Termination occurs;

-7-

 

	 	(ii)	 	provided Executive signs and returns a timely
and effective Release of Claims, the Company shall pay to Executive a
lump-sum cash payment equal to three (3) times the sum of (A)
Executive’s Base Salary and (B) the Bonus paid to Executive for the
year prior to the year in which termination occurs; and
	 
	 	(iii)	 	provided Executive signs and returns a timely
and effective Release of Claims, the Company shall maintain in full
force and effect, for the continued benefit of the Executive and his
eligible dependents, for a period of three (3) years following the Date
of Termination the medical and hospitalization insurance programs in
which the Executive and his dependents were participating immediately
prior to the Date of Termination, at the level in effect and upon
substantially the same terms and conditions (including without
limitation contributions required by Executive for such benefits) as
existed immediately prior to the Date of Termination; provided, that if
Executive or his dependents cannot continue to participate in the
Company plans and programs providing these benefits, the Company shall
arrange to provide Executive and his dependents with the economic
equivalent of such benefits which they otherwise would have been
entitled to receive under such plans and programs (the “Continued
Benefits”), provided, that such Continued Benefits shall terminate on
the date or dates Executive receives equivalent coverage and benefits,
without waiting period or pre-existing condition limitations, under the
plans and programs of a subsequent employer. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Section 8(a)(iii), the aggregate value (as the
same would be determined under Section 280G of the Code) of the
Continued Benefits shall in no event exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars
($50,000) (the “Aggregate Cap”); accordingly, the Company’s obligation
to provide the Continued Benefits shall cease once such value of the
Continued Benefits that have been provided to the Executive and/or his
dependents reaches the Aggregate Cap, even if such date occurs prior to
the three (3)-year anniversary of the Date of Termination.

     (b) Termination By the Company for Cause or By Executive Without Good Reason.
If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or by Executive other than
for Good Reason, the Company shall pay Executive the Final Compensation at the time and in
the manner set forth in Section 8(a)(i) hereof. The Company shall have no further
obligation to Executive upon such termination under this Agreement.

     (c) Disability. During any period that Executive fails to perform his duties
hereunder as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness (“Disability Period”),
Executive shall continue to receive his full Base Salary set forth in Section 5(a) until his
employment is terminated pursuant to Section 6(b), and the Company may, in its discretion,
designate another individual to act in Executive’s place, and such designation shall not
constitute Good Reason. In the event Executive’s employment is terminated for

-8-

 

Disability pursuant to Section 6(b), the Company shall pay to Executive the Final
Compensation at the time and in the manner set forth in Section 8(a)(i) hereof. The Company
shall have no further obligation to Executive upon such termination under this Agreement.

     (d) Death. If Executive’s employment is terminated by his death, the Company
shall pay the Final Compensation to Executive’s beneficiary, legal representatives or
estate, as the case may be, at the time and in the manner set forth in Section 8(a)(i)
hereof. The Company shall have no further obligation to Executive upon such termination
under the Agreement.

     (e) Timing of Payments. If at the time of Executive’s separation from service,
Executive is a “specified employee,” as hereinafter defined, any and all amounts payable
under this Section 8 in connection with such separation from service that constitute
deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of Code (“Section 409A”), as determined by the
Company in its sole discretion, and that would (but for this sentence) be payable within six
months following such separation from service, shall instead be paid on the date that
follows the date of such separation from service by six (6) months. For purposes of the
preceding sentence, “separation from service” shall be determined in a manner consistent
with subsection (a)(2)(A)(i) of Section 409A and the term “specified employee” shall mean an
individual determined by the Company to be a specified employee as defined in subsection
(a)(2)(B)(i) of Section 409A.

     9. Gross-Up Payment.

	 	(i)	 	Anything in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, in the event it shall be determined that any payment,
award, benefit or distribution (or any acceleration of any payment,
award, benefit or distribution) to or for the benefit of Executive as a
result of the Transaction (the “Payments”) would be subject to the
excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (the
“Code”), or any interest or penalties are incurred by Executive with
respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such
interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the
“Excise Tax”), then the Company shall pay to Executive an additional
payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by
Executive of all taxes (including any Excise Tax) imposed upon the
Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment
equal to the sum of (x) the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments and
(y) the product of any deductions disallowed because of the inclusion
of the Gross-Up Payment in Executive’s adjusted gross income and the
highest applicable marginal rate of federal income taxation for the
calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made. For purposes
of determining the amount of the Gross-Up Payment, Executive shall be
deemed to (A) pay federal income taxes at the highest marginal rates of
federal income taxes at the highest marginal rate of taxation for the
calendar year in which the Gross-Up Payment is to be made, (B) pay
applicable state and local income taxes at the

-9-

 

	 	 	 	highest marginal rate of taxation for the calendar year in which the
Gross-Up Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in
federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such
state and local taxes and (C) have otherwise allowable deductions for
federal income tax purposes at least equal to those which could be
disallowed because of the inclusion of the Gross-Up Payment in
Executive’s adjusted gross income.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Subject to the provisions of Section 9(e)(i),
all determinations required to be made under this Section 9(e),
including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required, the amount
of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving
at such determinations, shall be made by a nationally recognized public
accounting firm that is selected by the Company (the “Accounting Firm”)
which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the
Company and Executive within fifteen (15) business days of the receipt
of notice from the Company or Executive that there has been a Payment,
or such earlier time as is requested by the Company or Executive
(collectively, the “Determination”). All fees and expenses of the
Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company, and the Company
shall enter into any reasonable agreement requested by the Accounting
Firm in connection with the performance of the services hereunder. The
Gross-Up Payment under this Section 9(e) with respect to any Payments
made to Executive shall be made to the relevant tax authorities no
later than the date on which the Excise Tax on such Payments is due to
the relevant tax authorities. If the Accounting Firm determines that
no Excise Tax is payable by Executive, it shall furnish Executive with
a written opinion to such effect, and to the effect that failure to
report the Excise Tax, if any, on Executive’s applicable federal income
tax return should not result in the imposition of a negligence or
similar penalty.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	As a result of the uncertainty in the
application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the
Determination, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not
have been made by the Company should have been made (“Underpayment”) or
Gross-Up Payments are made by the Company which should not have been
made (“Overpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be
made hereunder. In the event that Executive thereafter is required to
make payment of any Excise Tax or additional Excise Tax, the Accounting
Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred
and any such Underpayment (together with interest at the rate provided
in Section 1274(b)(2)(B) of the Code) shall be promptly paid by the
Company to or for the benefit of Executive. In the event the amount of
the Gross-Up Payment exceeds the amount necessary to reimburse
Executive for his Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the
amount of the Overpayment that has been made and any such Overpayment

-10-

 

	 	 	 	(together with interest at the rate provided in Section 1274(b)(2) of
the Code) shall be promptly paid by Executive (to the extent he has
received a refund if the applicable Excise Tax has been paid to the
Internal Revenue Service) to or for the benefit of the Company.
Executive shall cooperate, to the extent his expenses are reimbursed
by the Company, with any reasonable requests by the Company in
connection with any contest or disputes with the Internal Revenue
Service in connection with the Excise Tax.
	 
	 	(iv)	 	Executive expressly acknowledges and agrees
that the Gross-Up Payment is limited exclusively to Excise Tax that may
come due in connection with Payments to or for the benefit of Executive
as a result of the Transaction, and that Executive will not be entitled
to any Gross-Up Payments as a result of any change of control that may
occur following the Effective Date.

     10. Mitigation. Executive shall not be required to mitigate amounts payable under
this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, and there shall be no offset against
amounts due Executive under this Agreement on account of subsequent employment except as
specifically provided herein. Additionally, amounts owed to Executive under this Agreement shall
not be offset by any claims the Company may have against Executive, and the Company’s obligation to
make the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder
shall not be affected by any other circumstances, including, without limitation, any counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right which the Company may have against Executive or others.

     11. Restrictive Covenants.

     (a) Confidential Information.

	 	(i)	 	Executive acknowledges that the Company and its
Affiliates continually develop Confidential Information, that Executive
has developed and will develop Confidential Information for the Company
or its Affiliates, and that Executive has learned and will learn of
Confidential Information during the course of his employment.
Executive will comply with the policies and procedures of the Company
and its Affiliates for protecting Confidential Information. Executive
shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Company all
trade secrets and Confidential Information, knowledge or data relating
to the Company, its Affiliates and their businesses and investments,
which shall have been obtained by Executive during Executive’s
employment by the Company and which is not generally available public
knowledge (other than by acts of Executive in violation of this
Agreement or by any other person having an obligation of
confidentiality to the Company or any of its Affiliates). Except as may
be required or appropriate in connection with carrying out his duties
under this Agreement, Executive shall not, without the prior written
consent of the Company or as may otherwise be required

-11-

 

	 	 	 	by law or any legal process, or as is necessary in connection with
any adversarial proceeding against the Company (in which case
Executive shall use his reasonable best efforts in cooperating with
the Company in obtaining a protective order against disclosure by a
court of competent jurisdiction), use, communicate or divulge any
such trade secrets, Confidential Information, knowledge or data to
anyone other than the Company and those designated by the Company or
on behalf of the Company in the furtherance of its business.
Executive understands that this restriction shall continue to apply
after his employment terminates, regardless of the reason for such
termination.
	 
	 	 	 	For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean
any and all information of the Company and its Affiliates that is
not generally known by those with whom the Company or any of its
Affiliates competes or does business, or with whom the Company or any
of its Affiliates plans to compete or do business, and any and all
information, publicly known in whole or in part or not, which, if
disclosed by the Company or any of its Affiliates, would assist in
competition against them. Confidential Information includes without
limitation such information relating to (i) the development,
research, testing, manufacturing, marketing and financial activities
of the Company and its Affiliates, (ii) the costs, sources of supply,
financial performance and strategic plans of the Company and its
Affiliates, (iii) the identity and special needs of the customers of
the Company and its Affiliates and (iv) the people and
organizations with whom the Company and its Affiliates have business
relationships and the nature and substance of those relationships.
Confidential Information also includes any information that the
Company or any of its Affiliates has received, or may receive
hereafter, belonging to customers or others with any understanding,
express or implied, that the information would not be disclosed to
others.
	 
	 	 	 	For purposes of this Agreement, “Affiliates” shall mean all persons
and entities directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or
under common control with the Company, where control may be by
management authority, contract or equity interest. For the avoidance
of doubt, Affiliates includes Holdings.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	All documents, records, tapes and other media
of every kind and description relating to the business, present or
otherwise, of the Company or its Affiliates, and any copies, in whole
or in part, thereof (the “Documents”), whether or not prepared by
Executive, shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company and
its Affiliates. Executive shall safeguard all Documents and shall
surrender to the Company at the time his employment terminates, or at
such earlier time or times as the Board of the Company or

-12-

 

	 	 	 	Holdings or its designee may specify, all Documents then in
Executive’s possession or control.

     (b) Restricted Activities. Executive hereby agrees that some restrictions on
his activities during and after his employment are necessary to protect the goodwill, trade
secrets, Confidential Information and other legitimate interests of the Company and its
Affiliates. In consideration of Executive’s employment hereunder, and the Company’s
agreement to grant Executive access to trade secrets and other Confidential Information of
the Company and its Affiliates and to their customers, and in view of the confidential
position to be held by Executive hereunder, Executive agrees as follows:

	 	(i)	 	Non-Solicitation. During the
Employment Period and during the two year period immediately following
termination of the Employment Period (the “Restricted Period”),
Executive shall not, directly or indirectly: (A) hire, solicit for
hiring or assist in any way in the hiring of any employee or
independent contractor of the Company or any of its Affiliates, or
induce or otherwise attempt to influence any employee or independent
contractor to terminate or diminish such employment or contractor
relationship or to become employed by any other radio broadcasting
station or any other entity engaged in the radio business, the
television business or in any other business in which the Company or
any of its Affiliates is engaged (which, for the avoidance of doubt,
includes without limitation the business of providing clients with
advertising opportunities through billboards, street furniture
displays, transit displays and other out-of-home advertising displays,
such as wallscapes, spectaculars and mall displays (the “Outdoor
Business”)), or (B) solicit or encourage any customer of the Company or
any of its Affiliates to terminate or diminish its relationship with
them, or seek to persuade any such customer or prospective customer to
conduct with anyone else any business or activity which such customer
or prospective customer conducts or could conduct with the Company or
any of its Affiliates. For purposes of this Agreement, an “employee”
of the Company or any of its Affiliates is any person who was such at
any time within the preceding two years; a “customer” of the Company or
any of its Affiliates is any person or entity who is or has been a
customer at any time within the preceding two years; and a “prospective
customer” is any person or entity whose business has been solicited on
behalf of the Company or any of its Affiliates at any time within the
preceding two years, other than by form letter, blanket mailing or
published advertisement.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Non-Competition. During the Restricted
Period, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, whether as owner,
partner, investor, consultant, agent, employee, co-venturer or
otherwise, compete with the Company or any of its Affiliates within the
United States or anywhere else in the world where the Company or any of
its Affiliates does business, or undertake any planning for any

-13-

 

	 	 	 	business competitive with the Company or any of its Affiliates.
Specifically, but without limiting the foregoing, Executive agrees
not to engage in any manner in any activity that is directly or
indirectly competitive or potentially competitive with the business
of the Company or any of its Affiliates as conducted or under
consideration at any time during Executive’s employment, and
Executive further agrees not to work for or provide services to, in
any capacity, whether as an employee, independent contractor or
otherwise, whether with or without compensation, any person or entity
that is engaged in any business that is competitive with the business
of the Company or any of its Affiliates for which the Executive has
provided services, as conducted or in planning during his employment.
For the purposes of this Section 11, the business of the Company and
its Affiliates shall include the radio and television businesses, the
Outdoor Business and any other business that was conducted or in
planning during the Executive’s employment. The foregoing, however,
shall not prevent Executive’s direct or beneficial ownership of up to
five percent (5%) of the equity securities of any entity, whether or
not in the same or competing business.

     (c) Assignment of Rights to Intellectual Property.

	 	(i)	 	Executive shall promptly and fully disclose all
Intellectual Property to the Company. Executive hereby assigns and
agrees to assign to the Company (or as otherwise directed by the
Company) Executive’s full right, title and interest in and to all
Intellectual Property. Executive agrees to execute any and all
applications for domestic and foreign patents, copyrights or other
proprietary rights and to do such other acts (including without
limitation the execution and delivery of instruments of further
assurance or confirmation) requested by the Company to assign the
Intellectual Property to the Company and to permit the Company to
enforce any patents, copyrights or other proprietary rights to the
Intellectual Property. Executive will not charge the Company for time
spent in complying with these obligations. All copyrightable works
that Executive creates shall be considered “work made for hire” and
shall, upon creation, be owned exclusively by the Company.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	For purposes of this Agreement, “Intellectual
Property” means inventions, discoveries, developments, methods,
processes, compositions, works, concepts and ideas (whether or not
patentable or copyrightable or constituting trade secrets) conceived,
made, created, developed or reduced to practice by Executive (whether
alone or with others, whether or not during normal business hours or on
or off Company premises) during Executive’s employment that relate to
either the Products or any prospective activity of the Company or any
of its Affiliates or that

-14-

 

	 	 	 	make use of Confidential Information or any of the equipment or
facilities of the Company or any of its Affiliates; and “Products”
means all products planned, researched, developed, tested,
manufactured, sold, licensed, leased or otherwise distributed or put
into use by the Company or any of its Affiliates, together with all
services provided or planned by the Company or any of its Affiliates,
during Executive’s employment.

     (d) Conflict of Interest. Executive agrees that, during his employment with
the Company, he will not undertake any outside activity, whether or not competitive with the
business of the Company or its Affiliates, that could reasonably give rise to a conflict of
interest or otherwise interfere with his duties and obligations to the Company or any of its
Affiliates.

     (e) Modification of Covenants. The parties hereby acknowledge that the
restrictions in this Section 11 have been specifically negotiated and agreed to by the
parties hereto, and are limited only to those restrictions necessary to protect the Company
and its Affiliates from unfair competition. Executive acknowledges that he has carefully
read and considered all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the
restrictions in Section 11 hereof, and agrees without reservation that each of the
restraints contained herein is necessary for the reasonable and proper protection of the
goodwill, trade secrets, Confidential Information and other legitimate interests of the
Company and its Affiliates; and that each and every one of those restraints is reasonable in
respect to subject matter, length of time and geographic area. Executive acknowledges that
the Company operates in major, medium and small-sized markets throughout the United States
and many foreign countries, that the effect of Section 11(b) may be to prevent him from
working in a competitive business after his termination of employment hereunder, and that
these restraints, individually or in the aggregate, will not prevent him from obtaining
other suitable employment during the period in which he is bound by such restraints. The
parties hereby agree that if the scope or enforceability of any provision, paragraph or
subparagraph of this Section 11 is in any way disputed at any time, and should a court find
that such restrictions are overly broad, the court shall modify and enforce the covenant to
permit its enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by law. Each provision, paragraph
and subparagraph of this Section 11 is separable from every other provision, paragraph, and
subparagraph, and constitutes a separate and distinct covenant.

     (f) Remedies. Executive hereby expressly acknowledges that any breach or
threatened breach by Executive of any of the terms set forth in Section 11 of this Agreement
would result in significant, irreparable and continuing injury to the Company, the monetary
value of which would be difficult to establish or measure. Therefore, Executive agrees that,
in addition to any other remedies available to it, the Company shall be entitled to
preliminary and permanent injunctive relief in a court of appropriate jurisdiction against
any breach or threatened breach, without having to post bond, as well as the recovery of all
reasonable attorney’s fees expended in enforcing its rights hereunder.

-15-

 

     12. Indemnification.

     (a) General. The Company agrees that if Executive is made a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that Executive is or
was a trustee, director or officer of the Company, Holdings, or any subsidiary thereof, or
is or was serving at the request of the Company or any subsidiary as a trustee, director,
officer, member, employee or agent of another corporation or a partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, including, without limitation, service with respect to employee
benefit plans, whether or not the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an official
capacity as a trustee, director, officer, member, employee or agent while serving as a
trustee, director, officer, member, employee or agent, Executive shall be indemnified and
held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent authorized by Texas law, as the same
exists or may hereafter be amended, against all Expenses incurred or suffered by Executive
in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to Executive even if
Executive has ceased to be an officer, director, trustee or agent, or is no longer employed
by the Company, and shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and administrators.

     (b) Expenses. As used in this Agreement, the term “Expenses” shall include,
without limitation, damages, losses, judgments, liabilities, fines, penalties, excise taxes,
settlements, costs, attorneys’ fees, accountants’ fees, and disbursements and costs of
attachment or similar bonds, investigations, and any expenses of establishing a right to
indemnification under this Agreement.

     (c) Enforcement. If a valid claim or request under this Agreement is not paid
by the Company or on its behalf within thirty (30) days after a written claim or request has
been received by the Company, Executive may at any time thereafter bring suit against the
Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim or request and, if successful in whole or
in part, Executive shall be further entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such
suit. All obligations for indemnification hereunder shall be subject to, and paid in
accordance with, applicable Texas law.

     (d) Partial Indemnification. If Executive is entitled under any provision of
this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of any Expenses, but
not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify
Executive for the portion of such Expenses to which Executive is entitled.

     (e) Advances of Expenses. Expenses incurred by Executive in connection with
any Proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance upon request of Executive that the
Company pay such Expenses; but, only in the event that Executive shall have delivered in
writing to the Company (i) an undertaking to reimburse the Company for Expenses with respect
to which Executive is not entitled to indemnification and (ii) an affirmation of his good
faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company has
been met.

     (f) Notice of Claim. Executive shall give to the Company notice of any claim
made against him for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement. In
addition, Executive shall give the Company such information and

-16-

 

cooperation as it may reasonably require and as shall be within Executive’s power and
at such times and places as are mutually convenient for Executive and the Company.

     (g) Defense of Claim. With respect to any Proceeding as to which Executive
notifies the Company of the commencement thereof:

	 	(i)	 	The Company will be entitled to participate
therein at its own expense; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Except as otherwise provided below, to the
extent that it may wish, the Company will be entitled to assume the
defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Executive,
which in the Company’s sole discretion may be regular counsel to the
Company and may be counsel to other officers and directors of the
Company or any subsidiary. Executive shall also have the right to
employ his own counsel in such action, suit or proceeding if he
reasonably concludes that failure to do so would involve a conflict of
interest between the Company and Executive, and, under such
circumstances, the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of the Company.
	 
	 	(iii)	 	The Company shall not be liable to indemnify
Executive under this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of
any action or claim effected without its written consent. The Company
shall not settle any action or claim in any manner which would impose
any penalty or limitation on Executive without Executive’s written
consent. Neither the Company nor Executive will unreasonably withhold
or delay their consent to any proposed settlement.

     (h) Non-exclusivity. The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses
incurred in defending a Proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this
Section 12 shall not be exclusive of any other right which Executive may have or hereafter
may acquire under any statute, provision of the declaration of trust or certificate of
incorporation or by-laws of the Company, Holdings or any subsidiary, agreement, vote of
shareholders or disinterested directors or trustees or otherwise.

     13. Arbitration. Except as provided for in Section 11 of this Agreement, if any
contest or dispute arises between the parties with respect to this Agreement, such contest or
dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration for resolution in San Antonio, Texas in
accordance with the rules and procedures of the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the American
Arbitration Association then in effect. The decision of the appointed arbitrator shall be final and
binding on both parties, and any court of competent jurisdiction may enter judgment upon the award.
The losing party shall pay all expenses relating to such arbitration, including, but not limited
to, the prevailing party’s legal fees and expenses.

     14. Successors; Binding Agreement.

     (a) Company’s Successors. No rights or obligations of the Company under this
Agreement may be assigned or transferred, except that the Company will require any successor
(whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to

-17-

 

all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly
assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that
the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used
in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinabove defined and any successor
to its business and/or assets (by merger, purchase or otherwise) which executes and delivers
the agreement provided for in this Section 14 or which otherwise becomes bound by all the
terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law.

     (b) Executive’s Successors. No rights or obligations of Executive under this
Agreement may be assigned or transferred by Executive other than his right to payments or
benefits hereunder, which may be transferred only by will or the laws of descent and
distribution. Upon Executive’s death, this Agreement and all rights of Executive hereunder
shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s beneficiary or
beneficiaries, personal or legal representatives, or estate, to the extent any such person
succeeds to Executive’s interests under this Agreement. Executive shall be entitled to
select and change a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any benefit or compensation
payable hereunder following Executive’s death by giving the Company written notice thereof.
In the event of Executive’s death or a judicial determination of his incompetence, reference
in this Agreement to Executive shall be deemed, where appropriate, to refer to his
beneficiary(ies), estate or other legal representative(s). If Executive should die following
his Date of Termination while any amounts would still be payable to him hereunder if he had
continued to live, all such amounts unless otherwise provided herein shall be paid in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement to such person or persons so designated in
writing by Executive, or otherwise to his legal representatives or estate.

     15. Notice. For the purposes of this Agreement, notices, demands and all other
communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been
duly given when delivered either personally or by United States certified or registered mail,
return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

     16. Miscellaneous. No provisions of this Agreement may be amended, modified, or
waived unless such amendment or modification is agreed to in writing signed by Executive and by a
duly authorized officer of the Company, and such waiver is set forth in writing and signed by the
party to be charged. No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party
hereto of any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be
deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or
subsequent time. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with
respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either party which are not set forth
expressly in this Agreement. The respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall
survive Executive’s termination of employment and the termination of this Agreement to the extent
necessary for the intended preservation of such rights and obligations. The validity,
interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the
State of Texas without regard to its conflicts of law principles.

     17. Validity. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of
this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this
Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

     18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same
instrument.

     19. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties
hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein, and supersedes all prior agreements,
promises, covenants, arrangements, communications, representations or warranties, whether oral or
written, by any officer, employee or representative of any party hereto in respect of such subject
matter, including but not limited to the Existing Agreement, and excluding only any existing
obligations on the part of Executive with respect to Confidential Information, assignment of
intellectual property, non-competition and the like. Any prior agreement of the

-19-

 

parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein is hereby terminated and
cancelled.

     20. Taxes. All payments hereunder shall be subject to any required withholding of
federal, state and local taxes pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. The Company,
Holdings, Sponsor Group and Executive shall each use reasonable best efforts to minimize all taxes
that may be due in connection with any award or payment made pursuant to this Agreement, including
in connection with the Restricted Stock Award; provided, that Executive shall only be required to
use such reasonable best efforts to the extent that Executive will not be economically
disadvantaged as a result of such efforts.

     21. Noncontravention. The Company represents that the Company is not prevented from
entering into or performing this Agreement by the terms of any law, order, rule or regulation, its
by-laws or declaration of trust, or any agreement to which it is a party, other than which would
not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to enter into or perform this
Agreement.

     22. Section Headings. The section headings in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only, and they form no part of this Agreement and shall not affect its interpretation.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first above
written.

CLEAR CHANNEL

2007 EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE PLAN

1. DEFINED TERM

     Exhibit A, which is incorporated by reference, defines the terms used in the Plan and sets
forth certain operational rules related to those terms.

2. PURPOSE

     The Plan has been established to advance the interests of the Company and its Affiliates by
providing for the grant to Participants of Stock-based and other incentive Awards. Awards under
the Plan are intended to align the incentives of the Company’s executives and investors and to
improve the performance of the Company. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, Awards to
be granted under this Plan are expected to be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
B-1 or B-2; provided, that all Rollover Option Agreements shall be substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit C and all Restricted Stock Agreements shall be substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit D, in each case unless the Administrator determines otherwise.

3. ADMINISTRATION

     The Administrator has discretionary authority, subject only to the express provisions of the
Plan and the Award Agreements, to interpret the Plan; determine eligibility for and grant Awards;
determine, modify or waive the terms and conditions of any Award; prescribe forms, rules and
procedures; and otherwise do all things necessary to carry out the purposes of the Plan. In the
case of any Award intended to be eligible for the performance-based compensation exception under
Section 162(m) of the Code, the Administrator will exercise its discretion consistent with
qualifying the Award for that exception. Except as otherwise provided by the express terms of an
Award Agreement, all determinations of the Administrator made under the Plan will be conclusive and
will bind all parties.

4. LIMITS ON AWARDS UNDER THE PLAN

     (a) Number
of Shares. A maximum of ___ Shares may be delivered in satisfaction of
Awards under the Plan. The number of Shares delivered in satisfaction of Awards shall, for
purposes of the preceding sentence, be determined net of Shares (i) withheld by the Company in
payment of the exercise price of the Award or in satisfaction of tax withholding requirements with
respect to the Award, (ii) awarded under the Plan as Restricted Stock, but thereafter forfeited,
and (iii) made subject to an award that is exercised or satisfied, or that terminates or expires,
without the delivery of such shares. The limits set forth in this Section 4(a) shall be construed
to comply with Section 422 of the Code and the regulations thereunder. To the extent consistent
with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code and regulations thereunder and with other
applicable legal requirements (including applicable stock exchange requirements), Stock issued
under awards of an acquired company that are converted, replaced or adjusted in connection with the
acquisition shall not reduce the number of Shares available for Awards under the Plan.

-1-

 

     (b) Type of Shares. Stock delivered under the Plan may be authorized but unissued
Stock or previously issued Stock acquired by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. No fractional
Shares will be delivered under the Plan.

     (c) Section 162(m) Limits. The maximum number of Shares for which Stock Options may
be granted to any person in any calendar year and the maximum number of Shares subject to SARs
granted to any person in any calendar year will each be                     . The maximum number of Shares
subject to other Awards granted to any person in any calendar year will be                      Shares.
The foregoing provisions will be construed in a manner consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code.

5. ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

     The Administrator will select Participants from among those key Employees and directors of,
and consultants and advisors to, the Company or its Affiliates who, in the opinion of the
Administrator, are in a position to make a significant contribution to the success of the Company
and its Affiliates; provided, that, subject to such express exceptions, if any, as the
Administrator may establish, eligibility shall be further limited to those persons as to whom the
use of a Form S-8 registration statement is permissible. Within 10 business days following the
Closing Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement dated as of November 16, 2006, as amended, among
Clear Channel Communications, Inc. and the other parties thereto), the Company shall file a Form
S-8 registration statement with respect to all Shares available for issuance under this Plan. The
Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such Form S-8 while Awards granted
hereunder remain outstanding; provided however that nothing herein shall prevent the Company from
de-registering the Shares under the Plan if and to the extent they are no longer subject to the
reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Eligibility for ISOs is
limited to employees of the Company or of a “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” of the
Company as those terms are defined in Section 424 of the Code.

6. RULES APPLICABLE TO AWARDS

     (a) All Awards

          (1) Award Provisions. The Administrator will determine the terms of all Awards,
subject to the limitations provided herein, and shall furnish to each Participant an Award
Agreement setting forth the terms applicable to the Participant’s Award. By entering into an Award
Agreement, the Participant agrees to the terms of the Award and of the Plan, to the extent not
inconsistent with the express terms of the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Plan to the contrary, awards of an acquired company that are converted, replaced or adjusted in
connection with the acquisition may contain terms and conditions that are inconsistent with the
terms and conditions specified herein, as determined by the Administrator.

          (2) Transferability. Neither ISOs, nor, except as the Administrator otherwise
expressly provides, other Awards may be transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution, and during a Participant’s lifetime ISOs (and, except as the Administrator
otherwise expressly provides, other non-transferable Awards requiring exercise) may be
exercised only by the Participant.

-2-

 

          (3) Vesting, Etc. The Administrator may determine the time or times at which an Award
will vest or become exercisable and the terms on which an Award requiring exercise will remain
exercisable. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrator may at any time accelerate the
vesting or exercisability of an Award, regardless of any adverse or potentially adverse tax
consequences resulting from such acceleration. Unless expressly provided otherwise by the
Administrator or an Award Agreement, automatically and immediately upon the cessation of
Employment, all outstanding Restricted Stock will be forfeited and all Awards requiring exercise
will cease to be exercisable and will terminate, except that:

     (A) subject to (B) and (C) below, all Stock Options and other Awards requiring exercise
held by the Participant or the Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, immediately
prior to the cessation of the Participant’s Employment, to the extent then exercisable, will
remain exercisable for the lesser of (i) a period of 90 days or (ii) the period ending on
the latest date on which such Stock Option or SAR could have been exercised without regard
to this Section 6(a)(4), and will thereupon terminate;

     (B) all Stock Options and other Awards requiring exercise held by a Participant or the
Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, immediately prior to the termination of the
Participant’s Employment by reason of death or disability, to the extent then exercisable,
will remain exercisable for the lesser of (i) the one year period ending with the first
anniversary of the Participant’s death or disability, as the case may be, or (ii) the period
ending on the latest date on which such Stock Option or SAR could have been exercised
without regard to this Section 6(a)(3), and will thereupon terminate; and

     (C) all Stock Options and other Awards requiring exercise held by a Participant or the
Participant’s permitted transferees, if any, immediately prior to the cessation of the
Participant’s Employment will immediately terminate upon such cessation if such cessation of
Employment has resulted in connection with an act or failure to act constituting Cause.

          (4) Taxes. The Administrator will make such provision for the withholding of taxes as
it deems necessary. Except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, the Administrator may, but
need not, hold back Shares from an Award or permit a Participant to tender previously owned Shares
in satisfaction of tax withholding requirements (but not in excess of the applicable minimum
statutory withholding rate), using the Fair Market Value of Stock on the date of exercise to
determine the number of shares so withheld or tendered. 

          (5) Dividend Equivalents, Etc. Except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement,
the Administrator may provide for the payment of amounts in lieu of cash dividends or other cash
distributions with respect to Stock subject to an Award.

          (6) Rights Limited. Nothing in the Plan will be construed as giving any person the
right to continued Employment with the Company or its Affiliates, or any rights as a stockholder
except as to shares of Stock actually issued under the Plan. The loss of potential appreciation in
Awards will not constitute an element of damages in the event of termination of

-3-

 

Employment for any reason, even if the termination is in violation of an obligation of the
Company or its Affiliate to the Participant.

          (7) Section 162(m). This Section 6(a)(7) applies to any Performance Award intended to
qualify as performance-based for the purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code other than a Stock
Option or SAR. In the case of any Performance Award to which this Section 6(a)(7) applies, the
Plan and such Award will be construed to the maximum extent permitted by law in a manner consistent
with qualifying the Award for such exception. With respect to such Performance Awards, the
Administrator will pre-establish, in writing, one or more specific Performance Criteria no later
than 90 days after the commencement of the period of service to which the performance relates (or
at such earlier time as is required to qualify the Award as performance-based under Section 162(m)
of the Code). Prior to grant, vesting or payment of the Performance Award, as the case may be, the
Administrator will certify whether the applicable Performance Criteria have been attained and such
determination will be final and conclusive. No Performance Award to which this Section 6(a)(7)
applies may be granted after the first meeting of the stockholders of the Company held in [2012]
until the listed performance measures set forth in the definition of “Performance Criteria” (as
originally approved or as subsequently amended) have been resubmitted to and reapproved by the
stockholders of the Company in accordance with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code,
unless such grant is made contingent upon such approval.

          (8) Stockholders Agreement. Unless otherwise specifically provided, all Awards issued
under the Plan and all Stock issued thereunder will be subject to the Stockholders Agreement.
Except to the extent permitted by the Stockholders Agreement, no Stock issued under the Plan may be
sold or exchanged or otherwise transferred (by gift or otherwise) until the date that is three
years following an QPO.

          (9) Section 409A. Awards under the Plan are intended either to be exempt from the
rules of Section 409A of the Code or to satisfy those rules, and the Plan and such Awards shall be
construed accordingly. Granted Awards may be modified at any time, in the Administrator’s
discretion, so as to increase the likelihood of exemption from or compliance with the rules of
Section 409A of the Code, so long as such modification does not result in a reduction in value to
the applicable Participant (unless the Participant consents in writing to such modification);
provided that, to the extent the applicable Participant declines to provide such consent and the
Administrator is otherwise unable to modify an award because of such a reduction in value, the
Participant shall be solely responsible for any resulting tax liability and the Company shall
withhold as required by law.

          (10) Certain Requirements of Corporate Law. Awards shall be granted and administered
consistent with the requirements of applicable Delaware law relating to the issuance of Stock and
the consideration to be received therefor, and with the applicable requirements of Delaware, in
each case as determined by the Administrator.

     (b) Awards Requiring Exercise

          (1) Time And Manner Of Exercise. Unless the Administrator expressly provides
otherwise, an Award requiring exercise by the holder will not be deemed to have been

-4-

 

exercised until the Administrator receives a notice of exercise (in form reasonably acceptable
to the Administrator) signed by the appropriate person and accompanied by any payment required
under the Award. If the Award is exercised by any person other than the Participant, the
Administrator may require satisfactory evidence that the person exercising the Award has the right
to do so.

          (2) Exercise Price. The Administrator will determine the exercise price, if any, of
each Award to be granted that requires exercise. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise,
and in all events in the case of a Stock Option or a SAR (except as otherwise permitted pursuant to
Section 7(b)(1) hereof), the exercise price of an Award requiring exercise will not be less than
the Fair Market Value of the Stock subject to the Award, determined as of the date of grant, and in
the case of an ISO granted to a ten-percent shareholder within the meaning of Section 422(b)(6) of
the Code, the exercise price will not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock
subject to the Award, determined as of the date of grant.  Except as otherwise permitted
under Section 7, no such Award, once granted, may be repriced other than in accordance with the
applicable stockholder approval requirements of the stock exchanges or other trading systems on
which the Stock is listed or entered for trading. Fair Market Value shall be determined by the
Administrator consistent with the applicable requirements of Section 422 of the Code and Section
409A of the Code.

          (3) Payment Of Exercise Price. Except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement,
where the exercise of an Award is to be accompanied by payment, the Administrator may determine the
required or permitted forms of payment, subject to the following: (a) all payments will be by cash
or check acceptable to the Administrator, or (b) if so permitted by the Administrator, (i) through
the delivery of shares of Stock that have a fair market value equal to the exercise price, except
where payment by delivery of shares would adversely affect the Company’s results of operations
under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles or where payment by delivery of shares outstanding
for less than six months would require application of securities laws relating to profit realized
on such shares, (ii) at such time, if any, as the Stock is publicly traded, through a
broker-assisted exercise program acceptable to the Administrator, (iii) by other means acceptable
to the Administrator, or (iv) by any combination of the foregoing permissible forms of payment.
The delivery of shares in payment of the exercise price under clause (b)(i) above may be
accomplished either by actual delivery or by constructive delivery through attestation of
ownership, subject to such rules as the Administrator may prescribe.

          (4) ISOs. No ISO may be granted under the Plan after [                    , 2017], but ISOs
previously granted may extend beyond that date.

     (c) Awards Not Requiring Exercise.

     Awards of Restricted Stock and Unrestricted Stock, whether delivered outright or under Awards
of Stock Units or other Awards that do not require exercise, may be made in exchange for such
lawful consideration, including services, as the Administrator determines.

7. EFFECT OF CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

     (a) Except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement:

-5-

 

          (1) Assumption or Substitution. In the event of a Corporate Transaction in which
there is an acquiring or surviving entity, the Administrator may provide for the continuation or
assumption of some or all outstanding Awards, or for the grant of new awards in substitution
therefor, by the acquiror or survivor or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common
control with the acquiror or survivor, in each case on such terms and subject to such conditions
(including vesting or other restrictions) as the Administrator determines are appropriate. The
continuation or assumption of such Awards, to the extent applicable, shall be done on terms and
conditions consistent with Section 409A of the Code.

          (2) Acceleration or Cash-Out of Certain Awards. In the event of a Corporate
Transaction (whether or not there is an acquiring or surviving entity) in which there is no
continuation, assumption or substitution as to some or all outstanding Awards, the Administrator
may provide (unless the Administrator determines otherwise, on terms and conditions consistent with
Section 409A of the Code) for (i) treating as satisfied any vesting condition on any such Award,
(ii) the accelerated delivery of shares of Stock issuable under each such Award consisting of
Restricted Stock Units, in each case on a basis that gives the holder of the Award a reasonable
opportunity, as determined by the Administrator, following exercise of the Award or the issuance of
the shares, as the case may be, to participate as a stockholder in the Corporate Transaction or
(iii) if the Corporate Transaction is one in which holders of Stock will receive upon consummation
a payment (whether cash, non-cash or a combination of the foregoing), the Administrator may provide
for payment (a “cash-out”), with respect to some or all Awards, equal in the case of each affected
Award to the excess, if any, of (A) the fair market value of one Share (as determined by the
Administrator in its reasonable discretion) times the number of Shares subject to the Award, over
(B) the aggregate exercise price, if any, under the Award, in each case on such payment terms
(which need not be the same as the terms of payment to holders of Stock) and other terms, and
subject to such conditions, as the Administrator determines.

          (3) Termination of Awards. Except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, each
Award (unless continued, substituted, or assumed pursuant to the Section 7(a)(1)), will terminate
upon consummation of the Corporate Transaction, provided that Restricted Stock Units accelerated
pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 7(a)(2) shall be treated in the same manner as other shares of
Stock (subject to Section 7(a)(4)).

          (4) Additional Limitations. Any Share delivered pursuant to Section 7(a)(2) above
with respect to an Award may, in the discretion of the Administrator, be subject to such
restrictions, if any, as the Administrator deems appropriate to reflect any performance or other
vesting conditions to which the Award was subject prior to the Corporation Transaction and that did
not lapse in connection with the Corporate Transaction. In the case of Restricted Stock, the
Administrator may require that any amounts delivered, exchanged or otherwise paid in respect of
Stock in connection with the Corporate Transaction be placed in escrow or otherwise made subject to
such restrictions as the Administrator deems appropriate to carry out the intent of the Plan.

     (b) Changes In, Distributions With Respect To And Redemptions Of The Stock

          (1) Basic Adjustment Provisions. In the event of any stock dividend or other similar
distribution of stock or other securities of the Company, stock split or combination of

-6-

 

shares (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization, conversion, reorganization,
consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, merger, exchange of stock, redemption or repurchase
of all or part of the shares of any class of stock or any change in the capital structure of the
Company or an Affiliate or other transaction or event, the Administrator shall, as appropriate in
order to prevent enlargement or dilution of benefits intended to be made available under the Plan,
make proportionate adjustments to the maximum number of Shares that may be delivered under the Plan
under Section 4(a) and to the maximum share limits described in Section 4(c) and shall also make
appropriate, proportionate adjustments to the number and kind of shares of stock or securities
subject to Awards then outstanding or subsequently granted, any exercise prices relating to Awards
and any other provision of Awards affected by such change. Unless the Administrator determines
otherwise, any adjustments hereunder shall be done on terms and conditions consistent with Section
409A of the Code.

          (2) Certain Other Adjustments. The Administrator may also make adjustments of the
type described in paragraph (b)(1) above to take into account distributions to stockholders or any
other event, if the Administrator determines that adjustments are appropriate to avoid distortion
in the operation of the Plan and to preserve the value of Awards made hereunder, having due regard
for the qualification of ISOs under Section 422 of the Code, the requirements of Section 409A of
the Code, and for the performance-based compensation rules of Section 162(m) of the Code, where
applicable.

          (3) Continuing Application of Plan Terms. References in the Plan to Shares will be
construed to include any stock or securities resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section
7.

8. LEGAL CONDITIONS ON DELIVERY OF STOCK

     The Company shall use best efforts to ensure, prior to delivering Shares pursuant to the Plan
or removing any restriction from Shares previously delivered under the Plan, that (a) all legal
matters in connection with the issuance and delivery of such shares have been addressed and
resolved, and (b) if the outstanding Stock is at the time of delivery listed on any stock exchange
or national market system, the shares to be delivered have been listed or authorized to be listed
on such exchange or system upon official notice of issuance. Neither the Company nor any Affiliate
will be obligated to deliver any Shares pursuant to the Plan or to remove any restriction from
Shares previously delivered under the Plan until the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence
have been satisfied and all other conditions of the Award have been satisfied or waived. If the
sale of Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company may
require, as a condition to exercise of the Award, such representations or agreements as counsel for
the Company may consider reasonably appropriate to avoid violation of such Act. The Company may
require that certificates evidencing Stock issued under the Plan bear an appropriate legend
reflecting any restriction on transfer applicable to such Stock, and the Company may hold the
certificates pending lapse of the applicable restrictions.

9. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

     The Administrator may at any time or times amend the Plan or any outstanding Award

-7-

 

for any purpose which may at the time be permitted by law, and may at any time terminate the
Plan as to any future grants of Awards; provided, that except as otherwise expressly provided in
the Plan, the Administrator may not, without the Participant’s consent, alter the terms of an Award
so as to affect adversely the Participant’s rights under the Award, unless the Administrator
expressly reserved the right to do so at the time of the Award. Unless otherwise provided in the
Award, the Administrator expressly reserves the right to amend or alter the terms of any Award if
such Award or a portion thereof would be reasonably likely to be treated as a “liability award”
under guidance issued or provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). Any
amendments to the Plan shall be conditioned upon stockholder approval only to the extent, if any,
such approval is required by applicable law (including the Code and applicable stock exchange
requirements), as determined by the Administrator.

10. OTHER COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS

     The existence of the Plan or the grant of any Award will not in any way affect the right of
the Company or an Affiliate to Award a person bonuses or other compensation in addition to Awards
under the Plan.

11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

     (a) Waiver of Jury Trial. By accepting an Award under the Plan, each Participant
waives any right to a trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim concerning any rights
under the Plan and any Award, or under any amendment, waiver, consent, instrument, document or
other agreement delivered or which in the future may be delivered in connection therewith, and
agrees that any such action, proceedings or counterclaim shall be tried before a court and not
before a jury. By accepting an Award under the Plan, each Participant certifies that no officer,
representative or attorney of the Company or any Affiliate has represented, expressly or otherwise,
that the Company would not, in the event of any action, proceeding or counterclaim, seek to enforce
the foregoing waivers.

     (b) Arbitration. In the event the waiver in Section 11(a) is held to be invalid or
unenforceable, if requested by the Company, the parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any
controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Plan or any Award hereunder promptly by
negotiations between themselves or their representatives who have authority to settle the
controversy. If the matter has not been resolved within sixty (60) days of the initiation of such
procedure, the Company may require that the parties submit the controversy to arbitration by one
arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the Parties, and if no agreement can be reached within 30 days
after names of potential arbitrators have been proposed by the American Arbitration Association
(the “AAA”), then by one arbitrator having reasonable experience in corporate incentive
plans of the type provided for in this Plan and who is chosen by the AAA. The arbitration shall be
governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Section 1, et seq., and judgment upon the award
rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of
arbitration shall be Cupertino, California, or any other location mutually agreed to between the
parties. The arbitrator shall apply the law as established by decisions of the Delaware federal
and/or state courts in deciding the merits of claims and defenses under federal law or any state or
federal anti-discrimination law. The arbitrator is required to state, in writing, the reasoning on
which the award rests. Notwithstanding the

-8-

 

foregoing, this paragraph shall not preclude either party from pursuing a court action for the
sole purpose of obtaining a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction in
circumstances in which such relief is appropriate.

12. ESTABLISHMENT OF SUB-PLANS

     The Board may from time to time establish one or more sub-plans under the Plan for purposes of
satisfying applicable blue sky, securities or tax laws of various jurisdictions. The Board shall
establish such sub-plans by adopting supplements to the Plan setting forth (i) such limitations on
the Administrator’s discretion under the Plan as the Board deems necessary or desirable and (ii)
such additional terms and conditions not otherwise inconsistent with the Plan as the Board shall
deem necessary or desirable. All supplements adopted by the Board shall be deemed to be part of
the Plan, but each supplement shall apply only to Participants within the affected jurisdiction and
the Company shall not be required to provide copies of any supplement to Participants in any
jurisdiction that is not affected.

13. GOVERNING LAW

     Except as otherwise provided by the express terms of an Award Agreement, the provisions of the
Plan and of Awards under the Plan shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws
of the State of Delaware.

ownership thresholds (consistent with Section 409A of the Code) apply but any such change shall not

either case following the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the Participant’s willful
and continued failure to perform his or her material duties with respect to the Company or an
Affiliate which, if curable, continues beyond ten business days after a written demand for

intentional engaging by the Participant in material misconduct that causes material and

any of their respective affiliates; or (iii) Participant’s conviction of, or a plea of nolo
contendere to, a crime constituting (A) a felony under the laws of the United States or any state

noncompetition or nonsolicitation obligations that causes material and demonstrable injury,
monetarily or otherwise, to the Company or an Affiliate or the Investors and any of their
respective affiliates.

     “Code”: The U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as from time to time amended and in effect, or
any successor statute as from time to time in effect. For the avoidance of doubt, any reference to
any section of the Code includes reference to any regulations (including proposed or temporary
regulations) promulgated under that section and any IRS guidance thereunder.

     “Committee”: One or more committees of the Board, which, for purposes of meeting certain
requirements of Section 162(m) of Code and any regulations promulgated thereunder (including Treas.
Regs. Section 1.162-27(e)(3)), may be deemed to be any subcommittee of the Committee to which the

     “Corporate Transaction”: Any of the following: (i) Change of Control (as defined in any Award
Agreement); (ii) a consolidation, merger, or similar transaction or series of transactions with or

Investors, or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to such a person
(or such a group of persons acting in concert); or (iii) a sale by the Company or an Affiliate or
the Investors and any of their respective affiliates of Stock that results in more than 50% of the
Stock of the Company (or any resulting company after a merger) being held by a person (or group of
persons acting in concert) that does not include any member of the Investors or any of their
respective affiliates, provided, that, in each case, to the extent any amount constituting
“nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code would become payable under
an Award by reason of a Corporate Transaction, it shall become payable only if the event or
circumstances constituting the Corporate Transaction would also constitute a

-11-

 

change in the ownership or effective control of the Company, or a change in the ownership of a
substantial portion of the Company’s assets, within the meaning of subsection (a)(2)(A)(v) of
Section 409A of the Code.

     “Employee”: Any person who is employed by the Company or an Affiliate.

     “Employment”: A Participant’s employment or other service relationship with the Company and
its Affiliates. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise: A change in the capacity in which a
Participant is employed by or renders services to the Company and/or its Affiliates, whether as an
Employee, director, consultant or advisor, or a change in the entity by which the Participant is
employed or to which the Participant rendered services, will not be deemed a termination of
Employment so long as the Participant continues providing services in a capacity and to an entity
described in Section 5. If a Participant’s relationship is with an Affiliate and that entity
ceases to be an Affiliate, the Participant will be deemed to cease Employment when the entity
ceases to be an Affiliate unless the Participant transfers Employment to the Company or its
remaining Affiliates.

     “Fair Market Value”: means the fair market value of the Stock on any given date, as
determined in good faith by the Board which, (a) if the Stock is readily tradable on an established
securities market within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, shall be determined as provided
thereunder and, (b) in the event that the Stock is not readily tradable on an established
securities market within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, shall be based on a third party
appraisal that has been completed within at least twelve months prior to such determination date;
provided, that (i) if, for any Participant, since such determination, events have occurred that
would reasonably be expected to cause the fair market value determination to fail to satisfy the
safe harbor methodology for determining such value under Section 409A of the Code, or (ii) in the
event of a valuation performed upon the termination of a Participant, if the Chief Executive
Officer or President of the Company is the terminated Participant and the Participant objects to
the determination of such fair market value by the Board of Directors, then in any such event the
determination of what constitutes “fair market value” with respect to the Stock for which the
Board’s determination is being disputed will be determined by a mutually acceptable expert, whose
determination will be binding on the parties, the costs of which shall be borne by the Company.

     “Investors”: shall have the meaning set forth in the Stockholders Agreement.

     “ISO”: A Stock Option intended to be an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Code. Each option granted pursuant to the Plan will be treated as providing by
its terms that it is to be a non-incentive stock option unless, as of the date of grant, it is
expressly designated as an ISO.

     “Participant”: A person who is granted an Award under the Plan.

     “Performance Award": An Award subject to Performance Criteria. The Committee in its
discretion may grant Performance Awards that are intended to qualify for the performance-based
compensation exception under Section 162(m) of the Code and Performance Awards that are not
intended so to qualify.

-12-

 

     “Performance Criteria": Specified criteria, other than the mere continuation of Employment or
the mere passage of time, the satisfaction of which is a condition for the grant, exercisability,
vesting or full enjoyment of an Award. For purposes of Awards that are intended to qualify for the
performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) of the Code, a Performance Criterion
will mean an objectively determinable measure of performance relating to any or any combination of
the following (measured either absolutely or by reference to an index or indices and determined
either on a consolidated basis or, as the context permits, on a divisional, subsidiary, line of
business, project or geographical basis or in combinations thereof): sales; revenues; assets;
expenses; earnings before or after deduction for all or any portion of interest, taxes,
depreciation, or amortization, whether or not on a continuing operations or an aggregate or per
share basis; return on equity, investment, capital or assets; one or more operating ratios;
borrowing levels, leverage ratios or credit rating; market share; capital expenditures; cash flow;

alliances; spin-offs, split-ups and the like; reorganizations; or recapitalizations,
restructurings, financings (issuance of debt or equity) or refinancings. A Performance Criterion
and any targets with respect thereto determined by the Administrator need not be based upon an
increase, a positive or improved result or avoidance of loss. To the extent consistent with the
requirements for satisfying the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m), the
Administrator may provide in the case of any Award intended to qualify for such exception that one
or more of the Performance Criteria applicable to such Award will be adjusted in an objectively
determinable manner to reflect events (for example, but without limitation, acquisitions or
dispositions) occurring during the performance period that affect the applicable Performance
Criterion or Criteria.

     “Plan”: Clear Channel 2007 Executive Incentive Plan as from time to time amended and in
effect.

     “QPO”: An underwritten public offering and sale of common stock of the Company for cash
pursuant to an effective registration statement by the Company or any member of the Sponsor Group
(as such term is defined in the Stockholders Agreement).

restrictions under this Plan or such Award requiring that it be redelivered or offered for sale to
the Company if specified conditions are not satisfied.

     “Restricted Stock Unit”: A Stock Unit that is, or as to which the delivery of Stock or cash
in lieu of Stock is, subject to the satisfaction of specified performance or other vesting
conditions.

     “SAR”: A right entitling the holder upon exercise to receive an amount (payable in cash or
shares of Stock of equivalent value, as specified in the Award except as otherwise determined by
the Administrator) equal to the excess of the fair market value of the Shares subject to the right
over a specified amount that is not less than the fair market value of such Shares at the date of
grant.

     “Share”: a share of Stock.

-13-

 

     “Stock”: Class A Common Stock of the Company, par value $.001 per share (which shall be the

Company and certain Affiliates, stockholders and Participants.

     “Stock Option”: An option entitling the recipient to acquire Shares upon payment of the
applicable exercise price.

transfer and requirements of sale and other provisions as set forth in the Equityholders Agreement
[Subject to Review] among BT Triple Crown Capital Holdings III, Inc. and certain investors, dated

BT TRIPLE CROWN CAPITAL HOLDINGS III, INC.

Senior Executive Restricted Stock Award 

BT Triple Crown Capital Holdings III, Inc.

200 East Basse Road

San Antonio, TX 78209

Attention: [___]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned Grantee (i) acknowledges receipt of an award (the “Award”) of restricted
stock from BT Triple Crown Capital Holdings III, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), under the Company’s 2007 Executive Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), subject
to the terms set forth below and in the Plan, a copy of which Plan, as in effect on the date
hereof, is attached hereto as Exhibit A; and (ii) agrees with the Company as follows:

     1. Effective Date. This Agreement shall take effect as of [___, 2007], which
is the date of grant of the Award (the “Grant Date”). The Grantee shall be the record owner
of the Shares.

     2. Shares
Subject to Award. The Award consists of a total of
___ [shares of Class
A Common Stock of the Company, par value $.001 per share] (the “Shares”) with a Fair Market Value
on the Grant Date of $[___] per Share and $20,000,000.00 (TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS) in the aggregate.

     The Grantee’s rights to the Shares are subject to the restrictions described in this Agreement
and the Plan (which is incorporated herein by reference with the same effect as if set forth herein
in full) in addition to such other restrictions, if any, as may be imposed by law.

     3. Nontransferability of Shares. The Shares acquired by the Grantee pursuant to this
Agreement shall not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of
except as provided in the Equityholders Agreement dated as of [___, 2007] among the Grantee,
the Company, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries and certain of the Company’s Equityholders (the
“Equityholders Agreement”).

     4. Forfeiture Risk. If the Grantee’s Employment with the Company and its

 

 

subsidiaries ceases for any reason, other than death, Disability, termination of employment by
the Company without Cause, or resignation by Grantee for Good Reason, then any and all outstanding
and unvested Shares acquired by the Grantee hereunder shall be automatically and immediately
forfeited.

The Grantee hereby (i) appoints the Company as the attorney-in-fact of the Grantee to take such
actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate a transfer of the record ownership of any
such shares that are unvested and forfeited hereunder, (ii) agrees to deliver to the Company, as a
precondition to the issuance of any certificate or certificates with respect to unvested Shares
hereunder, one or more stock powers, endorsed in blank, with respect to such Shares, and (iii)
agrees to sign such other powers and take such other actions as the Company may reasonably request
to accomplish the transfer or forfeiture of any unvested Shares that are forfeited hereunder.

     5. Certificates. The Company will issue the Grantee a certificate representing the
Shares. If unvested Shares are held in book entry form at any time thereafter, the Grantee agrees
that the Company may give stop transfer instructions to the depositary, stock transfer agent or
other keeper of the Company’s stock records to ensure compliance with the provisions hereof.

     6. Vesting of Shares. Unless earlier vested pursuant to the Plan, the Shares acquired
hereunder shall vest during the Grantee’s Employment by the Company or a subsidiary thereof in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 6 and applicable provisions of the Plan, as follows:

          20% on and after [the first anniversary of the Grant Date];

          20% on and after [the second anniversary of the Grant Date];

          20% on and after [the third anniversary of the Grant Date];

          20% on and after [the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date]; and

          20% on and after [the fifth anniversary of the Grant Date].

Notwithstanding the above, 100% of the Grantee’s outstanding and unvested Shares shall vest
immediately upon the earlier to occur of (i) a Change of Control (so long as the Grantee is
employed with the Company or any subsidiary thereof) or (ii) the termination of the Grantee’s
Employment with the Company and its subsidiaries due to death, Disability, termination of
employment by the Company without Cause, or resignation by Grantee for Good Reason.

     7. Legend. Any certificates representing Shares shall contain a legend substantially
in the following form:

THE TRANSFERABILITY OF THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE
SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS (INCLUDING FORFEITURE) OF THE CLEAR CHANNEL 2007
EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE PLAN AND A RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO BETWEEN THE
REGISTERED OWNER AND BT TRIPLE

-2-

 

CROWN CAPITAL HOLDINGS III, INC. AND THE EQUITYHOLDERS AGREEMENT AMONG BT TRIPLE CROWN
CAPITAL HOLDINGS III, INC. AND CERTAIN INVESTORS DATED AS OF
    , 200     . COPIES OF
SUCH PLAN, AWARD AGREEMENT AND EQUITYHOLDERS AGREEMENT ARE ON FILE IN THE OFFICES OF CLEAR
BT TRIPLE CROWN CAPITAL HOLDINGS III, INC.

Upon the request of the Grantee, as soon as practicable following the vesting of any such Shares
the Company shall cause a certificate or certificates covering such Shares, without the aforesaid
legend, to be issued and delivered to the Grantee. If any Shares are held in book-entry form, the
Company may take such steps as it deems necessary or appropriate to record and manifest the
restrictions applicable to such Shares.

     8. Dividends, etc. The Grantee shall be entitled to (i) receive any and all dividends
or other distributions paid with respect to those vested and unvested Shares of which the Grantee
is the record owner on the record date for such dividend or other distribution, whether or not
vested at such time, in the same form and amount as any holder of Stock receives, and (ii)
[subject to the terms of the Equityholders Agreement, vote any Shares of which the Grantee is the
record owner on the record date for such vote] [subject to review of such Agreement]; provided,
however, that any property (other than cash) distributed with respect to a share of Stock (the
“Associated Share”) acquired hereunder, by reason of a stock dividend, stock split or other
similar adjustment to the Stock pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Plan, shall be subject to the
restrictions of this Agreement in the same manner and for so long as the Associated Share remains
subject to such restrictions, and shall be promptly forfeited if and when the Associated Share is
so forfeited.

     9. Sale of Vested Shares. The Grantee understands that the sale of any Share, once it
has vested, will remain subject to (i) satisfaction of applicable tax withholding requirements, if
any, with respect to the vesting or transfer of such Share; (ii) the completion of any
administrative steps (for example, but without limitation, the transfer of certificates) that the
Company may reasonably impose; (iii) applicable requirements of federal and state securities laws;
and (iv) the terms and conditions of the Equityholders Agreement to the extent that they
are then in effect.

     10. Provisions of the Plan. This Grant is subject in its entirety to the provisions
of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Plan as in effect on the
date of the grant of this Award has been furnished to the Grantee and the Grantee agrees to be
bound by the terms of the Plan and this Award. In the event of any conflict between the terms of
this Award and the Plan, the terms of this Award shall control. Notwithstanding Section 9 of the

Agreement so as to adversely affect the Participant’s rights under this Agreement.

promptly paying to the Company in cash (or by such other means as may be acceptable to the
Company in its discretion), all taxes required to be withheld in connection with such award,
vesting or payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator shall, at the election

ROLLOVER OPTION AGREEMENT

                                                Optionee:

     This Option and any securities issued upon exercise of this Option are subject to restrictions
on voting and transfer and requirements of sale and other provisions as set forth in the
Equityholders Agreement among BT Triple Crown Capital Holdings III, Inc. and certain investors,
dated as of [ ], as amended from time to time (the “Equityholders Agreement”) and the
Registration Rights and Coordination Agreement referred to therein (the “Registration Rights and
Coordination Agreement”). This Option and any securities issued upon exercise of this Option
constitute an Option and Shares, respectively, as defined in the Equityholders Agreement.

BT TRIPLE CROWN CAPITAL HOLDINGS III, INC.

NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

     This stock option agreement (the “Agreement”) is hereby entered into between BT Triple Crown
Capital Holdings III, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Optionee pursuant to
the Company’s 2007 Executive Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time (the “Plan”). For the
purpose of this Agreement, the “Grant Date” shall mean ___, 2007.

	1.	 	Grant of Option. This certificate evidences the grant by the Company on the Grant Date to
the Optionee of an option to purchase (the “Option”), in whole or in part, on the terms
provided herein and in the Plan, [shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company, par value
$.001 per share] (the “Shares”) at $[___] per Share. 1 The Option evidenced by
this certificate is not intended to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of
the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). This Option is granted in substitution of an option
(which option is hereby deemed cancelled) held by the Optionee under equity incentive plans
maintained by Clear Channel Communications, Inc. (“Rollover Option”). Except as permitted in
Section 409A Rollover Law and expressly provided in this Agreement, the terms of the Rollover
Option are deemed incorporated into this Option; it being understood, that the exercise price
and the number of shares may be adjusted as permitted under Section 409A Rollover Law. The
Option shall be subject to the terms of the plan that previously governed the Rollover Option
immediately prior to the date hereof, and to the terms of any other agreement previously
governing the Rollover Option for which this Option is substituted to the extent required by
Section 409A Rollover Law, and will also be governed by the Plan, as applicable, and the
Equityholders Agreement and Registration Rights and Coordination Agreement, in each case to
the extent consistent with Section 409A Rollover Law.

 

			
	1	 	Exercise price of the option to be reduced to
the extent permitted by law, provided that the aggregate spread on the rolled
options shall be maintained.

 

 

	2.	 	Vesting. The Option is fully vested.
	 
	3.	 	Exercise of Option. Each election to exercise this Option shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan and shall be in writing, signed by the Optionee or by his or her
executor or administrator or by the Person or Persons to whom this Option is transferred by
will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution (the “Legal Representative”), and made
pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan. In
addition to the methods of payment otherwise permitted by the Plan, the Administrator shall,
at the election of the Optionee, hold back Shares from an Award having a Fair Market Value
equal to the exercise price in payment of the Option exercise price. The latest date on which
this Option may be exercised (the “Final Exercise Date”) is the latest date upon which the
Rollover Option was exercisable, subject to earlier termination in accordance with the terms
and provisions of the Plan and this Agreement.
	 
	4.	 	Other Agreements. Optionee acknowledges and agrees that the shares received upon exercise of
this Option shall be subject to the Equityholders Agreement, the Registration Rights and
Coordination Agreement and the transfer and other restrictions, rights, and obligations set
forth in those agreements. By executing this Agreement, Optionee hereby becomes a party to
and bound by the Equityholders Agreement and by the Registration Rights and Coordination
Agreement as a Manager (as such term is defined in those agreements), without any further
action on the part of Optionee, the Company or any other person.
	 
	5.	 	Extraordinary Dividends. Notwithstanding anything set forth in the Plan to the contrary,
however, in the event of the payment of any extraordinary cash dividend on Shares (a “Special
Dividend Payment”), the Optionee shall be entitled to receive a payment in an amount equal to
the cash dividends the Optionee would have received (a “Dividend Equivalent Payment”), if the
Optionee held as a Stock holder the same number of Shares subject to the Option, which payment
shall be made at the same time as such Special Dividend Payments are made. Notwithstanding
Section 9 of the Plan, the Administrator shall not, without the Participant’s consent, alter
the terms of the Plan or the Award Agreement so as to adversely affect the Participant’s
rights under this Agreement.
	 
	6.	 	Corporate Transaction. In the event of a Corporate Transaction in which holders of Stock
will receive upon consummation a payment (whether cash, non-cash or a combination of the
foregoing), the Optionee shall be entitled to receive, in consideration for any portion of the
Award then outstanding such payment (a “cash-out”), equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the
price paid in such Corporate Transaction for one Share times the number of Shares subject to
the Award, over (B) the aggregate exercise price, if any, under the Award, in each case on
such payment terms (which shall be the same as the terms of payment to holders of Stock) and
other terms, and subject to such conditions, as are consistent with those applied to the
consideration received by holders of Stock in the transaction, as the Administrator reasonably
and in good faith determines.
	 
	7.	 	Withholding. No shares will be transferred pursuant to the exercise of this Option unless
and until the person exercising this Option shall have remitted to the Company an amount

 

 

	 	 	sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, or local withholding tax requirements, or shall
have made other arrangements satisfactory to the Company with respect to such taxes. The
Administrator will make such provision for the withholding of taxes as it deems necessary.
The Administrator shall, at the election of the Optionee, hold back shares of Stock from an
Award or permit a Optionee to tender previously owned shares of Stock in satisfaction of tax
withholding requirements (but not in excess of the applicable minimum statutory withholding
rate).
	8.	 	Nontransferability of Option. This Option is not transferable by the Optionee other than by
will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution, and, subject to the foregoing
provision, is exercisable during the Optionee’s lifetime only by the Optionee.
	 
	9.	 	Status Change. Upon the termination of the Optionee’s Employment, this Option shall continue
or terminate, as and to the extent provided in the Plan, except to the extent required under
Section 409A Rollover Law.
	 
	10.	 	Effect on Employment. Neither the grant of this Option, nor the issuance of shares upon
exercise of this Option, shall give the Optionee any right to be retained in the employ of the
Company or its Affiliates, affect the right of the Company or its Affiliates to discharge or
discipline such Optionee at any time, or affect any right of such Optionee to terminate his or
her Employment at any time.
	 
	11.	 	Provisions of the Plan. This Option is subject to the terms of the plan that previously
governed the Rollover Option immediately prior to the date hereof and to the terms of any
other agreement previously governing the Rollover Option for which this Option is substituted,
which are incorporated herein by reference, to the extent required by Section 409A Rollover
Law. The Option is also subject to the provisions of the Plan, as applicable, which are also
incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Plan as in effect on the date of the grant of
this Option has been furnished to the Optionee. By exercising all or any part of this Option,
the Optionee agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this Option. In the event of any
conflict between the terms of this Option and the Plan, between this Option and plan that
previously governed the Rollover Option immediately prior to the date hereof, or between this
Option and any other agreement previously governing the Rollover Option for which this Option
is substituted, the terms of this Option shall control, except to the extent required under
Section 409A Rollover Law. Notwithstanding Section 9 of the Plan, the Administrator shall
not, without the Participant’s consent, alter the terms of the Plan or this Agreement so as to
adversely affect the Participant’s rights under this Agreement.
	 
	12.	 	Definitions. The initially capitalized terms Optionee and Grant Date shall have the meanings
set forth on the first page of this Agreement; initially capitalized terms not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meaning provided in the Plan and the Equityholders Agreement,
and, as used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

     “Person” shall mean any individual, partnership, corporation, association, trust, joint
venture, unincorporated organization or other entity.

 

 

     “Section 409A Rollover Law” shall mean Section 409A of the Code and guidance issued
thereunder (or applicable thereto) including Treasury Regulations in respect of Section 409A
of the Code, Treasury Regulation Section 1.424-1 and any subsequent guidance under Section
409A of the Code.

	13.	 	General. For purposes of this Option and any determinations to be made by the Administrator
or Compensation Committee, as the case may be, hereunder, the determinations by the
Administrator or Compensation Committee, as the case may be, shall be binding upon the
Optionee and any transferee.

[REMAINDER OF PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]

Notwithstanding the foregoing (but subject to any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other
written agreement between the Company and the Optionee with respect to vesting and termination of

     3. Exercise of Option. Each election to exercise this Option shall be subject to the

by the Optionee for Good Reason, to the extent then vested and exercisable, will remain
exercisable for the shorter of (i) a period of 180 days or (ii) the period ending on the

the Optionee’s death or Disability, as the case may be, or (ii) the period ending on the
Final Exercise Date, and will thereupon terminate; and

     (d) any portion of this Option held by the Optionee or the Optionee’s permitted
transferees, if any, immediately prior to the cessation of the Optionee’s Employment will

connection with an act or failure to act constituting Cause.

     4. Corporate Transaction. In the event of a Corporate Transaction in which holders of
Stock will receive upon consummation a payment (whether cash, non-cash or a combination of the
foregoing), the Optionee shall be entitled to receive, in consideration for any portion of the
Award then outstanding, such payment (a “cash-out”), equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the price
paid in such Corporate Transaction for one Share times the number of Shares subject to the Award,
over (B) the aggregate exercise price, if any, under the Award, in each case on such payment terms
(which shall be the same as the terms of payment to holders of Stock) and other terms, and subject
to such conditions, as are consistent with those applied to the consideration received by holders
of Stock in the transaction, as the Administrator reasonably and in good faith determines.

exercise of this Option shall be subject to the Equityholders Agreement dated as of [___,
2007] among the Optionee, the Company, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries and certain of the
Company’s stockholders (as amended, restated or otherwise modified, the “Equityholders
Agreement”) and the transfer and other restrictions, rights, and obligations set forth therein.
By executing this Agreement, Optionee hereby becomes a party to and bound by the Equityholders
Agreement as a [Manager] (as such term is defined in the Equityholders Agreement), without any
further action on the part of Optionee, the Company or any other person.

     6. Withholding. No Shares will be transferred pursuant to the exercise of this Option
unless and until the person exercising this Option shall have remitted to the Company an amount
sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, or local withholding tax requirements, or shall have made
other arrangements satisfactory to the Company with respect to such taxes. The Administrator
shall, at the election of the Optionee, hold back Shares from an Award or permit an Optionee to
tender previously owned shares of Stock in satisfaction of tax withholding requirements (but not in
excess of the applicable minimum statutory withholding rate).

     7. Nontransferability of Option. This Option is not transferable by the Optionee
other than by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during
the Optionee’s lifetime only by the Optionee.

     8. Status Change. Upon the termination of the Optionee’s Employment, this Option
shall continue or terminate, as and to the extent provided in the Plan.

     9. Effect on Employment. Neither the grant of this Option, nor the issuance of Shares
upon exercise of this Option, shall give the Optionee any right to be retained in the employ of the
Company or its Affiliates, affect the right of the Company or its Affiliates to discharge or
discipline such Optionee at any time, or affect any right of such Optionee to terminate his or her
Employment at any time.

     10. Provisions of the Plan. This Option is subject in its entirety to the provisions
of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Plan as in effect on the
date of the grant of this Option has been furnished to the Optionee. By exercising all or any part
of this Option, the Optionee agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this Option. In the
event of any conflict between the terms of this Option and the Plan, the terms of this Option shall
control. Notwithstanding anything set forth in the Plan to the contrary, however, in the event of
the payment of any extraordinary cash dividend on Shares (a “Special Dividend Payment”), the
Optionee shall be entitled to receive (i) a payment in an amount equal to the cash dividends the
Optionee would have received (a “Dividend Equivalent Payment”), if the Optionee held as a Stock
holder the same number of Shares, as are, as of the date of such Special Dividend Payment, subject
to any vested Options hereunder, which payment shall be made at the same time as such Special

other actions, or any other compliance with the requirements of this definition cannot be
accomplished without undue delay, burden or expense by the time or times at which it would
otherwise be required by this Agreement or the Collateral Documents;

this Agreement or any Collateral Document shall be limited so as not to require the grant of
equal and ratable security to or for the benefit of the holders of any Existing Retained
Notes under the applicable Existing Retained Notes Documentation, and neither the Parent
Borrower nor any Guarantor shall be required to grant a security interest in any Collateral
if the effect of such grant would result in any obligation to grant equal and ratable
security to or for the benefit of the Holders of any Existing Retained Note.

intended Guaranty cannot be provided on or prior to the date required under Section 6.13(b)

Administrative Agent’s security interest in such intended Collateral may not be accomplished
on or prior to the date required under Section 6.13(b) (other than the pledge and perfection
of domestic assets of the Parent Borrower and the Guarantors with respect to which a lien
may be perfected solely by the filing of a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial
Code) after use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so or without undue delay, burden
or expense, then such Guaranty or Collateral shall not be required to be delivered under
Section 6.13(b) if the Parent Borrower agrees to deliver or cause to be delivered such
documents and instruments, and take or cause to be taken such other actions as may be
required to perfect such security interests, (i) in the case of any intended Guaranty,

shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of
any Alternative Currency Letter of Credit issuances. If the consents required to be obtained by
this Section with respect to an additional currency proposed by the Parent Borrower are not
obtained, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Parent Borrower.

          SECTION 1.08. Currency Equivalents Generally.

          (a) The Administrative Agent shall determine the Spot Rates as of each Revaluation Date to be
used for calculating Dollar Amounts of Credit Extensions and Outstanding Amounts denominated in
Alternative Currencies. Such Spot Rates shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and
shall be the Spot Rates employed in converting any amounts between the applicable currencies until
the next Revaluation Date to occur. Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by Loan
Parties hereunder or calculating financial ratios hereunder or except as otherwise provided herein,
the applicable amount of any currency (other than Dollars) for purposes of the Loan Documents shall
be such Dollar Amount as so determined by the Administrative Agent.

          (b) Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Borrowing, conversion, continuation or
prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or the issuance, amendment or extension of an Alternative
Currency Letter of Credit, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed
in Dollars, but such Borrowing, Eurocurrency Rate Loan or Alternative Currency Letter of Credit is
denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Alternative Currency
Equivalent of such Dollar Amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such Alternative Currency, with
0.5 of a unit being rounded upward), as determined by the Administrative Agent or the applicable
Alternative Currency L/C Issuer, as the case may be.

          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with Sections 7.01,
7.02 and 7.03 with respect to any amount of Indebtedness or Investment in a currency other than
Dollars, no Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of
exchange occurring after the time such Indebtedness or Investment is incurred; provided that, for
the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.08 shall otherwise apply to such
Sections, including with respect to determining whether any Indebtedness or Investment may be
incurred at any time under such Sections.

          (d) For purposes of determining compliance with Section 7.14 and otherwise computing the Total
Leverage Ratio and Secured Leverage Ratio, the equivalent in Dollars of any amount denominated in a
currency other than Dollars will be converted to Dollars (i) with respect to income statement
items, in a manner consistent with that used in calculating Net Income in the Parent Borrower’s
latest financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or (b) and (ii) with respect to
balance sheet items, in a manner consistent with that used in calculating balance sheet items in
the Parent Borrower’s latest financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or (b) and
will, in the case of Indebtedness, reflect the currency translation effects, determined in
accordance with GAAP, of Swap Contracts for currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable
currency in effect on the date of determination of the Dollar equivalent of such Indebtedness.

          SECTION 1.09. Change in Currency.

          (a) Each obligation of the Parent Borrower to make a payment denominated in the national
currency unit of any member state of the European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency
after the date hereof shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption (in accordance
with the EMU Legislation). If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of
accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent
with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest
in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with
effect from the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided
that if any Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Borrowing in the currency of such member state is
outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to
such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Borrowing, at the end of the then current Interest
Period.

          (b) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of
construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect
the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market
conventions or practices relating to the Euro.

          (c) Each provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable changes of
construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect
a change in currency of any other country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating
to the change in currency.

          SECTION 1.10. Pro Forma Calculations.

          (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Secured Leverage Ratio and the Total
Leverage Ratio shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section.

          (b) In the event that the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs, assumes,
guarantees, redeems, repays, retires or extinguishes any Indebtedness included in the definitions
of Consolidated Secured Debt or Consolidated Total Debt, as the case may be (in each case, other
than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility in the ordinary course of
business for working capital purposes), subsequent to the end of the Test Period for which the
Secured Leverage Ratio and the Total Leverage Ratio, as the case may be, is being calculated but
prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then
the Secured Leverage Ratio and the Total Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect
to such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, redemption, repayment, retirement or extinguishment of
Indebtedness, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period.

          (c) For purposes of calculating the Secured Leverage Ratio and the Total Leverage Ratio,
Specified Transactions that have been made by the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries during the applicable Test Period or subsequent to such Test Period and prior to or
simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made shall be
calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and the change in
Consolidated EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test
Period. If since the beginning of any such Test Period any Person that subsequently became a
Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Parent Borrower
or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any
Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section, then the
Secured Leverage Ratio and the Total Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving

-69-

 

pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such Specified Transaction occurred at the
beginning of the applicable Test Period.

          (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, when calculating the Secured Leverage Ratio and Total
Leverage Ratio for purposes of determining compliance with Section 7.14 at the end of a Test Period
(excluding determinations of compliance with such Section on a pro forma basis pursuant to Sections
2.05(b)(ii), 2.14, 6.14 and 7.04), the definition of “Applicable Rate” and Sections 2.05(b)(i) and
2.05(b)(ii), the events described in Sections 1.10(b) and 1.10(c) above that occurred subsequent to
the end of the Test Period shall not be given pro forma effect.

          (e) Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction (other than the
Transactions), the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or
accounting officer of the Parent Borrower (and may include, for the avoidance of doubt, cost
savings, operating expense reductions and synergies resulting from such Specified Transaction
(other than the Transactions) which is being given pro forma effect that have been or are expected
to be realized and shall be certified in an officers’ certificate by such responsible financial or
accounting officer delivered to the Administrative Agent); provided that (A) such amounts are
reasonably identifiable and factually supportable, (B) actions to realize such amounts are taken
within 12 months after the date of such Specified Transaction, (C) no amounts shall be added
pursuant to this clause to the extent duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise added back in
computing Consolidated EBITDA with respect to such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
calculations of the Total Leverage Ratio for purposes of the definition of “Applicable Rate” and
Section 2.05(b)(i) and 2.05(b)(ii) shall not include any cost savings, operating expense reductions
or synergies that have not been actually realized.

          SECTION 1.11. Funding Through Applicable Lending Offices. Any Lender may, by notice to the
Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower, designate an Affiliate of such Lender as its
applicable Lending Office with respect to any Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans to be
made by such Lender to any Borrower (and, for the avoidance of doubt, a Lender may designate
different applicable Lending Offices to make Loans to the Parent Borrower, on the one hand, and any
Foreign Subsidiary Revolving Borrower, on the other hand, under the same Alternative Currency
Revolving Credit Facility) or make any Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan available to any
Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loans.
In the event that a Lender designates an Affiliate of such Lender as its applicable Lending Office
for Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans to any Borrower under the Alternative Currency
Revolving Credit Facility or makes any Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan available to any
Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loans,
then all Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans and reimbursement obligations to be funded by
such Lender under the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Facility to such Borrower shall be
funded by such applicable Lending Office or foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate, as applicable,
and all payments of interest, fees, principal and other amounts payable to such Lender under the
Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Facility shall be payable to such applicable Lending Office
or foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate, as applicable. Except as provided in the immediately
preceding sentence, no designation by any Lender of an Affiliate as its applicable Lending Office
or making any Loan available to any Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate
of such Lender to make such Loans shall alter the obligation of the applicable Borrower to pay any
principal, interest, fees or other amounts hereunder.

ARTICLE II

The Commitments and Credit Extensions

          SECTION 2.01. The Loans.

          (a) The Term Borrowings. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) each
Tranche A Term Loan Lender severally agrees to make to the Parent Borrower a single loan
denominated in Dollars in an aggregate Dollar Amount equal to such Tranche A Term Loan Lender’s
Tranche A Term Loan Commitment on the Closing Date; (ii) each Tranche B Term Loan Lender severally
agrees to make to the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiary Co-Borrowers (which shall be allocated
among them ratably in accordance with the Designated Amounts) a single loan denominated in Dollars
in an aggregate Dollar Amount equal to such Tranche B Term Loan Lender’s Tranche B Term Loan
Commitment on the Closing Date; (iii) each Tranche C Term Loan Lender severally agrees to make to
the Parent Borrower a single loan denominated in Dollars in an aggregate Dollar Amount equal to
such Tranche C Term Loan Lender’s Tranche C Term Loan Commitment on the Closing Date; (iv) each
Delayed Draw 1 Term Loan Lender severally agrees to make to the Parent Borrower loans denominated
in Dollars as elected by the Parent Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02 on not more than three
occasions on any Business Day on or after the Closing Date to the Delayed Draw Term Loan 1
Commitment Termination Date in an aggregate Dollar Amount not to exceed its Delayed Draw 1 Term
Loan Commitment; provided that all proceeds of such loans shall be used to repay, redeem,
repurchase, defease or otherwise satisfy the Designated 2010 Retained Existing Notes and (v) each
Delayed Draw 2 Term Loan Lender severally agrees to make to the Parent Borrower loans denominated
in Dollars as elected by the Parent Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02 on not more than two
occasions on any Business Day after the Closing Date to the Delayed Draw Term Loan 2 Commitment
Termination Date in an aggregate Dollar Amount not to exceed its Delayed Draw 2 Term Loan
Commitment; provided that all proceeds of such loans shall be used to repay, redeem, repurchase,
defease or otherwise satisfy the Designated 2009 Retained Existing Notes. Amounts borrowed under
this Section 2.01(a) and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Term Loans may be Base Rate
Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

          (b) The Revolving Credit Borrowings. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,
(i) each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to make loans denominated in Dollars to
the Parent Borrower as elected by the Parent Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02 (each such loan, a
“Dollar Revolving Credit Loan”) from time to time, on any Business Day after the Closing Date until
the Maturity Date (provided that each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender agrees to make loans
denominated in Dollars in an aggregate amount not exceeding its Pro Rata Share of the Initial
Revolving Borrowing on the Closing Date), in an aggregate Dollar Amount not to exceed at any time
outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment; provided that after
giving effect to any Dollar Revolving Credit Borrowing, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the
Dollar Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding
Amount of all Dollar L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount
of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment; and (ii)
each Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to make loans denominated in
Dollars or an Alternative Currency to the Parent Borrower and the Foreign Subsidiary Revolving
Borrowers as elected by the relevant Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02 (each such loan, an
“Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan”) from time to time, on any Business Day after the
Closing Date until the Maturity Date, in an aggregate Dollar Amount not to exceed at any time
outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitment; provided
that after giving effect to any Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Borrowing, the aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender, plus such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Alternative Currency L/C Obligations shall
not exceed such Lender’s Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitment. Within the

-71-

 

limits of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and subject to the other terms and
conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.01(b), prepay under Section 2.05,
and reborrow under this Section 2.01(b). Dollar Revolving Credit Loans may be Base Rate Loans or
Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein, and Alternative Currency Revolving Credit
Loans (other than Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars, which may be
Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans) must be Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided
herein.

          SECTION 2.02. Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

          (a) Each Term Borrowing made after the Closing Date, each Revolving Credit Borrowing (other
than Swing Line Borrowings with respect to which this Section 2.02 shall not apply) made after the
Closing Date (or on the Closing Date in the case of an Initial Revolving Borrowing permitted under
clause (a)(ii) of the definition of “Permitted Initial Revolving Borrowing Purposes”), each
conversion of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and each
continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, shall be made upon the relevant Borrower’s irrevocable
notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be
received by the Administrative Agent (i) not later than 12:00 noon (New York, New York time)
(A) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or any conversion of Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency
Rate Loans and (B) four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or
continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, and (ii) not later
than 11:00 a.m. on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice
by any Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the
Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a
Responsible Officer of such Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal Dollar Amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of
the Dollar Amount of $500,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and
2.04(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of
$500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether
telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the relevant Borrower is requesting a Tranche A
Term Loan, a Tranche B Term Loan, a Tranche C Term Loan, a Delayed Draw 1 Term Loan, a Delayed Draw
2 Term Loan, a Dollar Revolving Credit Borrowing, an Alternative Currency Revolving Credit
Borrowing, a conversion of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, or a
continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or
continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of
Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the currency in which the Loans to be borrowed
are to be denominated, (v) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Term Loans or
Revolving Credit Loans are to be converted, (vi) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period
with respect thereto, (vii) in the case of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars, whether
such Revolving Credit Loans are being borrowed under the Dollar Revolving Credit Facility or the
Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Facility and (viii) in the case of Alternative Currency
Revolving Credit Loans, whether the borrower shall be the Parent Borrower or one of the Foreign
Subsidiary Revolving Borrowers. If the relevant Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a
Committed Loan Notice or fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation,
then the applicable Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base
Rate Loans (unless the Loan being made or continued is denominated in an Alternative Currency, in
which case it shall be made or continued as a Eurocurrency Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one
month). Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of
the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If the
relevant Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate
Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period (or fails to give
a timely notice requesting a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative
Currency), it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month. If no currency
is specified, the requested Borrowing shall

-72-

 

be in Dollars. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the date which is six months after the
Closing Date (unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent), all Eurocurrency Rate Loans may
not have an Interest Period in excess of one (1) month.

          (b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender of the amount (and currency) of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Class of
Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the relevant
Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic
conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency
described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of each Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make
the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the
Administrative Agent’s Office for the respective currency not later than 1:00 p.m., in the case of
any Loan denominated in Dollars, and not later than the Applicable Time in the case of any Loan
denominated in an Alternative Currency, in each case on the Business Day specified in the
applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is on the Closing Date, Section 4.01), the Administrative
Agent shall make all funds so received available to the relevant Borrower in like funds as received
by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the relevant Borrower on the
books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such
funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the
Administrative Agent by the relevant Borrower; provided that if, on the date the Committed Loan
Notice with respect to a Borrowing under a Revolving Credit Facility is given by any Borrower,
there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first,
to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings and second, to the relevant Borrower as provided
above.

          (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or
converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan. During the
existence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Facility Lenders may
require that no Loans under the applicable Facility may be converted to or continued as
Eurocurrency Rate Loans, and the Required Facility Lenders under the Alternative Currency Revolving
Credit Facility may require that any or all of the then outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans
denominated in an Alternative Currency be redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar
Amount thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto.

          (d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders of the
interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of
such interest rate. The determination of the Eurocurrency Rate by the Administrative Agent shall
be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding,
the Administrative Agent shall notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the
Administrative Agent’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public
announcement of such change.

          (e) After giving effect to all Term Borrowings, all Revolving Credit Borrowings, all
conversions of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and all
continuations of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more
than thirty (30) Interest Periods in effect unless otherwise agreed between the Parent Borrower and
the Administrative Agent.

          (f) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall
not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of
such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the
Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

-73-

 

          (g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date
of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s
Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made
such Pro Rata Share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in
accordance with paragraph (b) above, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the
Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available, then, to the extent that such Lender shall
not have made such Pro Rata Share available to the Administrative Agent, each of such Lender and
such Borrower severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made
available to such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at
(i) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising
such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Overnight Rate plus any administrative,
processing, or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the
foregoing. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any
amounts owing under this Section 2.02(g) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If
such Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or
an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower (to the
extent such amount is covered by interest paid by such Lender) the amount of such interest paid by
such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the
Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such
Borrowing. Any payment by a Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may
have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

          SECTION 2.03. Letters of Credit.

          (a) The Letter of Credit Commitments.

          (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A)(1) each Dollar L/C Issuer
agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in
this Section 2.03, (x) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing
Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Dollar Letters of Credit for the account
of the Parent Borrower (provided that any Dollar Letter of Credit may be for the benefit of any
Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower) and to amend or renew Dollar Letters of Credit previously issued
by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b), and (y) to honor drawings under the Dollar Letters of
Credit and (2) the Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders severally agree to participate in Dollar Letters
of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.03 and (B)(1) each Alternative Currency L/C Issuer
agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lenders
set forth in this Section 2.03, (x) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from
the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Alternative Currency Letters
of Credit denominated in Dollars or in an Alternative Currency for the account of the Parent
Borrower or any Foreign Subsidiary Revolving Borrower (provided that any Alternative Currency
Letter of Credit may be for the benefit of any Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower or any Foreign
Subsidiary Revolving Borrower) and to amend or renew Alternative Currency Letters of Credit
previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b), and (y) to honor drawings under the
Alternative Currency Letters of Credit and (2) the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lenders
severally agree to participate in Alternative Currency Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this
Section 2.03; provided that L/C Issuers shall not be obligated to make L/C Credit Extensions with
respect to Letters of Credit, and Lenders shall not be obligated to participate in Letters of
Credit if, as of the date of the applicable (I) Dollar Letter of Credit, (x) the Dollar Revolving
Credit Exposure of any Lender would exceed such Lender’s Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment or (y)
the Outstanding Amount of all Dollar L/C Obligations would exceed the Dollar L/C Sublimit and (II)
Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, (x) the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Exposure of
any Lender would exceed such Lender’s Alternative

-74-

 

Currency Revolving Credit Commitment or (y) the Outstanding Amount of all Alternative Currency
L/C Obligations would exceed the Alternative Currency L/C Sublimit; provided further that no Letter
of Credit shall be issued by any L/C Issuer the stated amount of which, when added to the
Outstanding Amount of L/C Credit Extensions with respect to such L/C Issuer, would exceed the
applicable Specified L/C Sublimit of such L/C Issuer then in effect. Each request by the Parent
Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation
by the Parent Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set
forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, the Parent Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be
fully revolving, and accordingly the Parent Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain
Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and
reimbursed.

     (ii) An L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit if:

     (A) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit
would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last renewal, unless
otherwise agreed by such L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent in their sole discretion;
or

     (B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the applicable
Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless (1) each Appropriate Lender shall have approved
such expiry date or (2) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations in respect of such
requested Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized.

     (iii) An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

     (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by
its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit,
or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any directive (whether or not having the force
of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall
prohibit, or direct that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit
generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with
respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which
such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date,
or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not
applicable on the Closing Date (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated
hereunder);

     (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such
L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally; or

     (C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer, such
Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than (i) in the case of Dollar
Letters of Credit, Dollars and (ii) in the case of Alternative Currency Letters of Credit,
Dollars or an Alternative Currency.

          (iv) An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C
Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form
under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the
proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

          (v) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Appropriate Lenders with respect to any Letters
of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each L/C Issuer shall have

-75-

 

all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article IX with
respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of
Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters
of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article IX included such L/C
Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect
to the L/C Issuers.

          (b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Renewal Letters of
Credit.

          (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of
the Parent Borrower delivered to an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the
form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer
of the Parent Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the relevant L/C
Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon at least two (2) Business Days prior
to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be; or, in each case, such
later date and time as the relevant L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole
discretion. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of
Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the relevant L/C
Issuer: (a) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a
Business Day); (b) the amount thereof; (c) the expiry date thereof; (d) the name and address of the
beneficiary thereof; (e) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing
thereunder; (f) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any
drawing thereunder; (g) the currency in which the requested Letter of Credit will be denominated
and whether such Letter of Credit shall constitute a Dollar Letter of Credit or an Alternative
Currency Letter of Credit; and (h) such other matters as the relevant L/C Issuer may reasonably
request. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such
Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the
relevant L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment
thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such
other matters as the relevant L/C Issuer may reasonably request.

          (ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the relevant L/C Issuer will
confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent
has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Parent Borrower and, if not, such
L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the relevant L/C
Issuer has received written notice from any Dollar Revolving Credit Lender, in the case of a Dollar
Letter of Credit, or any Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender, in the case of an
Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one
Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of
Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied,
then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date,
issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Parent Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary) or
enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be. Immediately upon the issuance of (x) each
Dollar Letter of Credit, each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, acquire from the relevant L/C Issuer a risk
participation in such Dollar Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Dollar
Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Dollar Letter of Credit and (y)
each Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, each Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender shall
be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, acquire from the relevant L/C
Issuer a risk participation in such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the
product of such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of
such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit.

          (iii) If the Parent Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the
relevant L/C Issuer shall agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions
(each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit
must permit the relevant L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month
period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to
the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such
twelve-month period to be agreed upon by the relevant L/C Issuer and the Parent Borrower at the
time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the relevant L/C Issuer, the
Parent Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the relevant L/C Issuer for any
such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the applicable Lenders shall
be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the relevant L/C Issuer to permit the renewal of
such Letter of Credit at any time until an expiry date not later than the applicable Letter of
Credit Expiration Date; provided that the relevant L/C Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if
(A) the relevant L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no
obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof
(by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it
has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five (5)
Business Days before the Nonrenewal Notice Date from the Administrative Agent or any Dollar
Revolving Credit Lender, in the case of a Dollar Letter of Credit, or any Alternative Currency
Revolving Letter of Credit Lender, in the case of an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, or the
Parent Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then
satisfied.

          (iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of
Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the relevant L/C
Issuer will also deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete
copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

          (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

          (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under
such Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer shall notify promptly the Parent Borrower and the
Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit denominated
in an Alternative Currency, the Parent Borrower shall reimburse the relevant Alternative Currency
L/C Issuer in such Alternative Currency, unless (A) such L/C Issuer (at its option) shall have
specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of
any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Parent Borrower shall have notified the
relevant Alternative Currency L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that
the Parent Borrower will reimburse such Alternative Currency L/C Issuer in Dollars. In the case of
any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit
denominated in an Alternative Currency, the relevant Alternative Currency L/C Issuer shall notify
the Parent Borrower of the Dollar Amount of the amount of the drawing promptly following the
determination thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the third Business Day following the date of
any payment by any L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars (including all
Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars), or the Applicable Time on the third Business Day
following the date of any payment by any L/C Issuer under an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit
to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Parent Borrower
shall reimburse such L/C Issuer in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing in the applicable
currency. If the Parent Borrower fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of
the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars or in the Dollar Amount thereof in the case of an
Alternative Currency) (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Appropriate Lender’s Pro
Rata Share thereof. In such event, (x) in the case of an Unreimbursed Amount under a Dollar Letter
of Credit, the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Dollar Revolving Credit
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and

-77-

 

(y) in the case of an Unreimbursed Amount under an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, the
Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have requested an Alternative Currency Revolving Credit
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in Dollars, in each case to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an
amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in
Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the
unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments under the applicable Revolving Credit
Facility of the Appropriate Lenders, and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other
than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately
confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the
conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

          (ii) Each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender (including any such Lender acting as an L/C Issuer)
shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the relevant Dollar L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office for
payments in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of any Unreimbursed Amount in respect of a Dollar
Letter of Credit not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the
Administrative Agent (which may be the same Business Day such notice is provided if such notice is
provided prior to 12:00 noon), whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each
Dollar Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Dollar
Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the Parent Borrower in such amount. The
Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the relevant Dollar L/C Issuer. Each
Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender (including any such Lender acting as an L/C Issuer)
shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the relevant Alternative Currency L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s
Office for payments in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of any Unreimbursed Amount in respect
of an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified
in such notice by the Administrative Agent (which may be the same Business Day such notice is
provided if such notice is provided prior to 12:00 noon), whereupon, subject to the provisions of
Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds
available shall be deemed to have made an Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base
Rate Loan in Dollars to the Parent Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit
the funds so received to the relevant Alternative Currency L/C Issuer.

          (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount in respect of a Dollar Letter of Credit that is
not fully refinanced by a Dollar Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the
conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Parent
Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the relevant Dollar L/C Issuer a Dollar L/C
Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which Dollar L/C
Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at
the Default Rate. In such event, each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Dollar L/C Issuer pursuant to
Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such Dollar L/C
Borrowing and shall constitute a Dollar L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its
participation obligation under this Section 2.03. With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount in
respect of an Alternative Currency Letter of Credit that is not fully refinanced by an Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to
have incurred from the relevant Alternative Currency L/C Issuer an Alternative Currency L/C
Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount in Dollars that is not so refinanced, which
Alternative Currency L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and
shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Alternative Currency Revolving Credit
Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Alternative Currency
L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation
in such Alternative Currency L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an Alternative

-78-

 

Currency L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under
this Section 2.03.

          (iv) Until each Appropriate Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to
this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of
Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the
account of the relevant L/C Issuer.

          (v) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances
to reimburse an L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this
Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may
have against the relevant L/C Issuer, the relevant Borrower or any other Person for any reason
whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or
condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Revolving Credit
Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to
the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the relevant Borrower of a
Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the
obligation of the Parent Borrower to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for the amount of any
payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided
herein.

          (vi) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the relevant L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to
the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), such
L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent),
on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required
to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum
equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect plus any administrative,
processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing.
A certificate of the relevant L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Credit Lender (through the
Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.

          (d) Repayment of Participations.

          (i) If, at any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has
received from any Appropriate Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in
accordance with this Section 2.03(c), the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C
Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether
directly from the Parent Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied
thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Appropriate
Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to
reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same
funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

          (ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer
pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described
in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its
discretion), each Appropriate Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such
L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon
from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per
annum equal to the applicable Overnight

-79-

 

Rate from time to time in effect. The Obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders under this
clause (d)(ii) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this
Agreement.

          (e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Parent Borrower to reimburse the relevant L/C
Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit issued by it and to repay each L/C Borrowing
shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

     (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or
any other Loan Document;

     (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the
Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any
transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such
transferee may be acting), the relevant L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in
connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of
Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

     (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of
Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any
statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the
transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such
Letter of Credit;

     (iv) any payment by the relevant L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against
presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such
Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the relevant L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit
to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for
the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to
any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in
connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;

     (v) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the
relevant Alternative Currency to the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary or in the relevant
currency markets generally;

     (vi) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any Collateral, or any release or
amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the Guaranty or any other guarantee, for
all or any of the Obligations of any Loan Party in respect of such Letter of Credit; or

     (vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of
the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party;

provided that the foregoing shall not excuse any L/C Issuer from liability to the Parent Borrower
to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to punitive or consequential damages or lost
profits, claims in respect of which are waived by the Parent Borrower to the extent permitted by
applicable Law) suffered by the Parent Borrower that are caused by acts or omissions of such L/C
Issuer constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such L/C Issuer.

          (f) Role of L/C Issuers. Each Lender and the Parent Borrower agree that, in paying any
drawing under a Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to
obtain

-80-

 

any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the
Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or
the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers,
any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any
L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith
at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any
action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) a
problem with the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or
instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Parent Borrower hereby assumes
all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any
Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the
Parent Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or
transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuers, any Agent-Related Person,
nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any L/C Issuer, shall be
liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (iii) of this
Section 2.03(f); provided that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Parent
Borrower may have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to the Parent
Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to lost profits or
punitive or consequential damages suffered by the Parent Borrower that were caused by such L/C
Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful or grossly negligent
failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a
sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of
Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each L/C Issuer may accept
documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and no L/C Issuer shall be
responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or
purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or
proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

          (g) Cash Collateral. If (i) any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Required
Lenders require the Parent Borrower to Cash Collateralize its L/C Obligations pursuant to
Section 8.02(c), (ii) an Event of Default set forth under Section 8.01(f) occurs and is continuing
or (iii) for any reason, any Letter of Credit is outstanding at the time of termination of the
Revolving Credit Commitments and a backstop letter of credit that is satisfactory to the relevant
L/C Issuer in its sole discretion is not in place, then the Parent Borrower shall Cash
Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to such
Outstanding Amount determined as of the date of such Event of Default), and shall do so not later
than 2:00 p.m. on (x) in the case of the immediately preceding clause (i) or (iii), (1) the
Business Day that the Parent Borrower receives notice thereof, if such notice is received on such
day prior to 12:00 noon or (2) if clause (1) above does not apply, the Business Day immediately
following the day that the Parent Borrower receives such notice and (y) in the case of the
immediately preceding clause (ii), the Business Day on which an Event of Default set forth under
Section 8.01(f) occurs or, if such day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately
succeeding such day. For purposes hereof, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or
deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the relevant L/C Issuer and the Appropriate
Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances (“Cash
Collateral”) pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the relevant L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the
Appropriate Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Parent Borrower
hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Revolving
Credit Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and
all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked accounts at the
Administrative Agent and may be invested in Cash Equivalents selected by the Administrative Agent
in its sole discretion. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as
Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, to
reimburse the relevant

-81-

 

 L/C Issuer. To the extent the amount of any Cash Collateral exceeds the then Outstanding
Amount of such L/C Obligations and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the excess shall be refunded to the Parent Borrower. In the case of clause (i) or (ii) above, if
such Event of Default is cured or waived and no other Event of Default is then occurring and
continuing, the amount of any Cash Collateral shall be refunded to the Parent Borrower.

          (h) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the relevant L/C
Issuer and the Parent Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall
apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for
Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the
time of issuance, shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

          (i) Letter of Credit Fees.

          (i) The Parent Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Dollar
Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share a Letter of Credit fee for each
Dollar Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement equal to (A) the Applicable Rate times
the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such Dollar Letter of Credit (whether or
not such maximum amount is then in effect under such Dollar Letter of Credit if such maximum amount
increases periodically pursuant to the terms of such Dollar Letter of Credit), minus (B) the
fronting fee set forth in Section 2.03(j) below. Such letter of credit fees shall be computed on a
quarterly basis in arrears. Such letter of credit fees shall be due and payable in Dollars on the
tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the
first such date to occur after the issuance of such Dollar Letter of Credit, on the Letter of
Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate
during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Dollar Letter of Credit shall be computed and
multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such
Applicable Rate was in effect.

          (ii) The Parent Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share a Letter of
Credit fee for each Alternative Currency Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement equal
to (A) the Applicable Rate times the daily maximum Dollar Amount then available to be drawn under
such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then in effect
under such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit if such maximum amount increases periodically
pursuant to the terms of such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit), minus (B) the fronting fee
set forth in Section 2.03(j) below. Such letter of credit fees shall be computed on a quarterly
basis in arrears. Such letter of credit fees shall be due and payable in Dollars on the tenth
Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first
such date to occur after the issuance of such Alternative Currency Letter of Credit, on the Letter
of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate
during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Alternative Currency Letter of Credit shall be
computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that
such Applicable Rate was in effect.

          (j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuers. The Parent
Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to
each Letter of Credit issued by it equal to 0.125% per annum of the daily maximum amount then
available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Such fronting fees shall be computed on a
quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fees shall be due and payable on the tenth Business Day
after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to
occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and
thereafter on demand. In addition, the Parent Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for
its own account the customary issuance,

-82-

 

presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of
such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees
and standard costs and charges are due and payable within ten (10) Business Days of demand and are
nonrefundable.

          (k) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary
in any Letter of Credit Application, in the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the
terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.

          (l) Addition of an L/C Issuer.

          (i) A Dollar Revolving Credit Lender may become an additional Dollar L/C Issuer hereunder
pursuant to a written agreement among the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Dollar
Revolving Credit Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders
of any such additional Dollar L/C Issuer.

          (ii) An Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender may become an additional Alternative
Currency L/C Issuer hereunder pursuant to a written agreement among the Parent Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender. The Administrative
Agent shall notify the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lenders of any such additional
Alternative Currency L/C Issuer.

          (iii) On the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (and on such other
dates as the Administrative Agent may request), each L/C Issuer shall provide the Administrative
Agent a list of all Letters of Credit issued by it that are outstanding at such time together with
such other information as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request.

          (m) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued
or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a
Subsidiary, the Parent Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder
for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Parent Borrower hereby acknowledges that
the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the
Parent Borrower, and that the Parent Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the
businesses of such Subsidiaries.

          SECTION 2.04. Swing Line Loans.

          (a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line
Lender agrees to make loans in Dollars (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Parent Borrower
from time to time on any Business Day (other than the Closing Date) prior to the Maturity Date in
an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit,
notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Pro Rata Share of the
Outstanding Amount of Dollar Revolving Credit Loans and Dollar L/C Obligations of the Lender acting
as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment;
provided that, after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the
Dollar Revolving Credit Loans of any other Lender, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the
Outstanding Amount of all Dollar L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the
Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Dollar Revolving Credit
Commitment then in effect. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and
conditions hereof, the Parent Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under
Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate
Loan. Swing Line Loans shall only be denominated in Dollars. Immediately upon the making of a
Swing Line Loan, each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a

-83-

 

risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s
Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

          (b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Parent Borrower’s
irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by
telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent
not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be
borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000 (and any amount in excess of $100,000 shall be an
integral multiple of $25,000), and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business
Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender
and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and
signed by a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line
Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the
Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received
such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent
(by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received
notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any
Dollar Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing
(A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations
set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the
applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date
specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the
Parent Borrower.

          (c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

          (i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on
behalf of the Parent Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so
request on its behalf), that each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount
equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such
request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan
Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard
to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but
subject to the unutilized portion of the aggregate Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments and the
conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Parent Borrower with
a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the
Administrative Agent. Each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro
Rata Share of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative
Agent in Same Day Funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s
Office for Dollar-denominated payments not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified in such
Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Dollar Revolving Credit
Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Dollar Revolving Credit Loan
that is a Base Rate Loan to the Parent Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall
remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

          (ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Dollar Revolving
Credit Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted
by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line
Lender that each of the Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant
Swing Line Loan and each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in
respect of such participation.

-84-

 

          (iii) If any Dollar Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in
Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting
through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from
the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the
Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in
effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line
Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Dollar Revolving Credit Lender pays such amount
(with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Dollar
Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant
Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any
Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii)
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

          (iv) Each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Dollar Revolving Credit Loans or
to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall
be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the
Swing Line Lender, the Parent Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the
occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or
not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation
to make Dollar Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions
set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise
impair the obligation of the Parent Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as
provided herein.

          (d) Repayment of Participations.

          (i) At any time after any Dollar Revolving Credit Lender has purchased and funded a risk
participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of
such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share of
such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of
time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received
by the Swing Line Lender.

          (ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on
any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the
circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the
Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Swing
Line Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon
from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the
applicable Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the
Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders under this clause
(d)(ii) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

          (e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for
invoicing the Parent Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Dollar Revolving
Credit Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to
refinance such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata
Share shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

-85-

 

          (f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Parent Borrower shall make all payments of
principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

          SECTION 2.05. Prepayments.

          (a) Optional.

          (i) The Borrowers may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to
time voluntarily prepay Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable, in whole or in part
without premium or penalty; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Administrative
Agent not later than 12:00 noon (New York, New York time in the case of Loans denominated in
Dollars or Applicable Time in the case of Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency) (A) three
(3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in
Dollars, (B) four (4) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans
denominated in an Alternative Currency and (C) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (2)
any partial prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a
whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; and (3) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in
a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case,
if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding (it being understood that Base Rate
Loans shall be denominated in Dollars only). Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of
such prepayment and the Class(es) and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and the payment amount
specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of its receipt of each such
notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. Any prepayment of a
Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any
additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each prepayment of principal of, and
interest on, Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans shall be made in the relevant Alternative
Currency (even if the relevant Borrower is required to convert currency to do so). Each prepayment
of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders in
accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

          (ii) The Parent Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in
whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the
Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the
prepayment, and (2) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 or a
whole multiple of $25,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then
outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the payment
amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. All Swing
Line Loans shall be denominated in Dollars only.

          (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the relevant
Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.05(a)(i) or 2.05(a)(ii) if such
prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of the applicable Facility, which refinancing
shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

          (iv) Voluntary prepayments of Term Loans shall be applied ratably to outstanding Tranche A
Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans, Tranche C Term Loans, Delayed Draw 1 Term Loans and Delayed Draw
2 Term Loans and, within each such Class, shall be applied to the remaining scheduled installments
of principal of such particular Class in a manner determined at the discretion of the Parent
Borrower and specified in the notice of prepayment.

-86-

 

          (b) Mandatory.

          (i) Within five (5) Business Days after financial statements have been (or are required
hereunder to be) delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) and the related Compliance Certificate has
been (or is required hereunder to be) delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a), the Parent Borrower
shall prepay, subject to clause (b)(vi) of this Section 2.05, an aggregate principal amount of Term
Loans (allocated among the tranches of Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(v)) equal to
(A) 50% (such percentage as it may be reduced as described below, the “ECF Percentage”) of Excess
Cash Flow, if any, for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements (commencing with the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2009) minus (B) the sum of (i) all voluntary prepayments of
Term Loans during such fiscal year and (ii) all voluntary prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans
during such fiscal year to the extent the Revolving Credit Commitments are permanently reduced by
the amount of such payments, in the case of each of the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii),
to the extent such prepayments are not funded with the proceeds of Indebtedness or anything else
other than internally generated cash flow; provided that (x) the ECF Percentage shall be 25% if the
Total Leverage Ratio for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements as set forth in the
Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a) was less than or equal to 6.0 to 1.0
and greater than 3.0 to 1.0 and (y) the ECF Percentage shall be 0% if the Total Leverage Ratio for
the fiscal year covered by such financial statements as set forth in the Compliance Certificate
delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a) was less than or equal to 3.0 to 1.0.

          (ii) (A)  If (x) the Parent Borrower or any of its wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiaries
Disposes of any property or assets (other than any Disposition of any property or assets permitted
by Section 7.05(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f)(ii), (g), (h), (i), (l), (m), (n), (p) (except as set
forth in the proviso thereof) or (q)), or (y) any Casualty Event occurs, which results in the
realization or receipt by the Parent Borrower or any of its wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiaries of
Net Cash Proceeds, or (z) the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries disposes of any
Specified Assets, in each case, the Parent Borrower shall prepay on or prior to the date which is
ten (10) Business Days after the date of the realization or receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds,
subject to clause (b)(vi) of this Section 2.05, an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans
(allocated among the tranches of Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(v)) equal to 100%
(such percentage as it may be reduced as described below, the “Disposition Prepayment Percentage”)
of all Net Cash Proceeds realized or received; provided that in the case of clause (x) only,
(I) the Disposition Prepayment Percentage shall be 75% if the Total Leverage Ratio for the Test
Period immediately preceding such Disposition or Casualty Event calculated on a pro forma basis for
such Disposition or Casualty Event in accordance with Section 1.10 as set forth in the Compliance
Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a) was less than or equal to 6.0 to 1.0 and greater
than 3.0 to 1.0 and (II) the Disposition Prepayment Percentage shall be 50% if the Total Leverage

pro forma basis for such Disposition or Casualty Event in accordance with Section 1.10 as set forth
in the Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(a) was less than or equal to 3.0
to 1.0; provided, further, that, except as provided in Section 7.05(f)(i) and (k), no prepayment
shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(ii)(A) with respect to such portion of such Net
Cash Proceeds that the Parent Borrower shall have, on or prior to such date, given written notice
to the Administrative Agent of its intent to reinvest in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(ii)(B);

          (B) With respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized or received by the Parent Borrower or any
wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiary with respect to any Disposition (other than any Disposition
specifically excluded from the application of Section 2.05(b)(ii)(A) (including, without
limitation, any Disposition of the Specified Assets)) or any Casualty Event, at the option of the
Parent Borrower, the Parent Borrower may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in
assets useful for its business within (x) eighteen (18) months following receipt of such Net Cash
Proceeds or (y) if the Parent Borrower enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such
Net Cash Proceeds within eighteen (18)

-87-

 

months following receipt thereof, within the later of (1) eighteen (18) months following
receipt thereof and (2) one hundred and eighty (180) days of the date of such legally binding
commitment; provided that if any Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so
reinvested at any time after delivery of a notice of reinvestment election, and subject to clauses
(b)(vi) and (b)(vii) of this Section 2.05, an amount equal to any such Net Cash Proceeds shall be
applied within five (5) Business Days after the Parent Borrower reasonably determines that such Net
Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested to the prepayment of the Term
Loans as set forth in this Section 2.05.

          (iii) If the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs or issues any Indebtedness
not expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.03 (other than clause (y)(i)
or clause (s) thereof) or Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, the
Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) incurs any Qualified Securitization
Financing, the Parent Borrower shall prepay, subject to clause (b)(vi) of this Section 2.05, an
aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (allocated among the tranches of Term Loans in accordance
with Section 2.05(b)(v)) equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom on or prior to
the date which is five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds.

          (iv) If the Administrative Agent notifies the Parent Borrower at any time that the Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit Exposure at such time exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate
Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect, then, within two Business Days
after receipt of such notice, the Parent Borrower shall prepay Alternative Currency Revolving Loans
and/or the Parent Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Alternative Currency L/C Obligations in an
aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Exposure as of
such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the aggregate Alternative Revolving Credit
Commitments then in effect; provided that, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(g), the Parent
Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the Alternative Currency L/C Obligations
pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(iv) unless after the prepayment in full of the Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Line Loans the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit
Exposure exceeds the aggregate Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect.
The Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time after the initial deposit of such
Cash Collateral, request that additional Cash Collateral be provided in order to protect against
the results of further exchange rate fluctuations.

          (v) Each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Sections 2.05(b)(i) and (b)(iii) shall be
applied first, ratably to outstanding Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans, Delayed Draw 1
Term Loans and Delayed Draw 2 Term Loans, and within each such Class, such prepayment shall be
applied to remaining scheduled installments of principal pursuant to Section 2.07(a) in direct
order of maturity, and second, to outstanding Tranche C Term Loans, applied to remaining scheduled
installments of principal pursuant to Section 2.07(a) of such Tranche C Term Loans in direct order
of maturity. Each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(ii) shall be applied first,
to outstanding Tranche C Term Loans, applied to remaining scheduled installments of principal
pursuant to Section 2.07(a) of such Tranche C Term Loans in direct order of maturity, and second,
ratably to outstanding Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans, Delayed Draw 1 Term Loans and
Delayed Draw 2 Term Loans, and within each such Class, such prepayment shall be applied to
remaining scheduled installments of principal pursuant to Section 2.07(a) in direct order of
maturity. Each such prepayment of Term Loans allocated in accordance with the prior sentence shall
be paid to the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of such
prepayment, subject to clause (vi) of this Section 2.05(b).

          (vi) The Parent Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory
prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) of this
Section 2.05(b) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such
notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of
the amount of

-88-

 

such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Term Lender of the
contents of the Parent Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Term Lender’s pro rata share of the
prepayment. With respect to prepayments pursuant to clause (b)(i) or (iii) above and to the extent
of Tranche A Term Loans outstanding after giving effect to such prepayment, each Tranche B Term
Loan Lender and Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender may reject all or a portion of its pro rata share of
any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Tranche B Term Loans
or Delayed Draw Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clause (i) or (iii) of this
Section 2.05(b) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative
Agent and the Parent Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) one Business Day after the
date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment.
Each Rejection Notice from a given Tranche B Term Loan Lender and Delayed Draw Term Lender shall
specify the principal amount of the mandatory repayment of Tranche B Term Loans and Delayed Draw
Term Loans, as applicable, to be rejected by such Lender. If a Tranche B Term Loan Lender or
Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent
within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal
amount of the Tranche B Term Loans or Delayed Draw Term Loans to be rejected, any such failure will
be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment. Any Declined Proceeds
shall be applied to prepay outstanding Tranche A Term Loans, applied to remaining scheduled
installments of principal pursuant to Section 2.07(a) in direct order of maturity.

          (c) Foreign Asset Sales. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.05, (i) to
the extent that Net Cash Proceeds of a Casualty Event or Disposition by a Restricted Foreign
Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment under Section 2.05(b)(ii) (a “Foreign Asset Sale”) are
prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, such
portion of the Net Cash Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans
at the times provided in this Section 2.05 but may be retained by the applicable Restricted Foreign
Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to
the United States (the Parent Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary
to promptly take all actions required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and
once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds is permitted under the applicable
local law, such repatriation will be immediately effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds
will be promptly (and in any event not later than two Business Days after such repatriation)
applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment
of the Term Loans as required pursuant to this Section 2.05 and (ii) to the extent that the Parent
Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of
any Foreign Asset Sale would have a material adverse tax consequence with respect to such Net Cash
Proceeds, the Net Cash Proceeds so affected may be retained by the applicable Restricted Foreign
Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of this clause (ii), on or before the date on which any Net
Cash Proceeds so retained would otherwise have been required to be applied to reinvestments or
prepayments pursuant to Section 2.05(b)(ii)(B), (x) the Parent Borrower applies an amount equal to
such Net Cash Proceeds to such reinvestments or prepayments as if such Net Cash Proceeds had been
received by the Parent Borrower rather than such Restricted Foreign Subsidiary, less the amount of
additional taxes that would have been payable or reserved against if such Net Cash Proceeds had
been repatriated (or, if less, the Net Cash Proceeds that would be calculated if received by such
Foreign Subsidiary) or (y) such Net Cash Proceeds are applied to the repayment of Indebtedness of a
Restricted Foreign Subsidiary.

          (d) Interest, Funding Losses, Etc. All prepayments under this Section 2.05 shall be
accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a
Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts
owing in respect of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan pursuant to Section 3.05.

          Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 2.05, so long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans is
required

-89-

 

to be made under this Section 2.05 prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, in
lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 2.05 in respect of any such Eurocurrency Rate
Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Parent Borrower may, in its sole
discretion, deposit an amount sufficient to make any such prepayment otherwise required to be made
thereunder together with accrued interest to the last day of such Interest Period into a Cash
Collateral Account until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative
Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Parent Borrower
or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with
this Section 2.05. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from
the Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the
outstanding Loans in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Section 2.05.

          SECTION 2.06. Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

          (a) Optional. The Parent Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent,
terminate the unused Commitments of any Class, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused
Commitments of any Class, in each case without premium or penalty; provided that (i) any such
notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent one (1) Business Day prior to the date of
termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of
$500,000 or any whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (iii) if, after giving effect to
any reduction of the Commitments, the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Dollar
Revolving Credit Facility, such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such
excess. Except as provided above, the amount of any such Dollar Revolving Credit Commitment
reduction shall not be applied to the Swing Line Sublimit unless otherwise specified by the Parent
Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent Borrower may rescind or postpone any notice of
termination of the Commitments if such termination would have resulted from a refinancing of the
applicable Facility, which refinancing shall not be consummated or otherwise shall be delayed.

          (b) Mandatory. The Term Commitment of each Term Lender shall be automatically and permanently
reduced to $0 (i) in the case of each Tranche A Term Loan Lender, upon the making of such Tranche A
Term Loan Lender’s Tranche A Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(i), (ii) in the case of each
Tranche B Term Loan Lender, upon the making of such Tranche B Term Loan Lender’s Tranche B Term
Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(ii), (iii) in the case of each Tranche C Term Loan Lender, upon
the making of such Tranche C Term Loan Lender’s Tranche C Term Loans pursuant to
Section 2.01(a)(iii) and (iv) in the case of each Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender, upon the earlier
of (x) the making of such Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender’s Delayed Draw Term Loans pursuant to
Section 2.01(a)(iv) in the full aggregate amount of its Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment and
(y) the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Termination Date. The Revolving Credit Commitments shall
terminate on the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facilities.

          (c) Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will
promptly notify the Appropriate Lenders of any termination or reduction of unused portions of the
Swing Line Sublimit or the unused Commitments of any Class under this Section 2.06. Upon any
reduction of unused Commitments of any Class, the Commitment of each Lender of such Class shall be
reduced by such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which such Commitments are reduced (other
than the termination of the Commitment of any Lender as provided in Section 3.07). All commitment
fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments
or Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, shall be paid on the effective
date of such termination.

          SECTION 2.07. Repayment of Loans.

          (a) Term Loans. The Parent Borrower (and, in the case of the Tranche B Term Loans, the
Subsidiary Co-Borrowers on a joint and several basis) shall repay to the Administrative Agent for
the ratable account of the Term Lenders on the dates set forth on Annex I, or if any such
date is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day, an aggregate principal
amount of the Tranche A Term Loans, the Tranche B Term Loans, the Tranche C Term Loans, the Delayed
Draw 1 Term Loans and the Delayed Draw 2 Term Loans equal to the amount set forth on
Annex I for such date (which payments shall be reduced as a result of the application of
prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.05), together in each
case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date
of such payment, and on the Maturity Date, (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Tranche A Term
Loans outstanding on such date, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all Tranche B Term Loans
outstanding on such date, (iii) the aggregate principal amount of all Tranche C Term Loans
outstanding on such date, (iv) the aggregate principal amount of all Delayed Draw 1 Term Loans
outstanding on such date and (v) the aggregate principal amount of all Delayed Draw 2 Term Loans
outstanding on such date.

          (b) Revolving Credit Loans. The Parent Borrower and, in the case of the Alternative Currency
Revolving Credit Loans, the Parent Borrower and the Foreign Subsidiary Revolving Borrowers, jointly
and severally, shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Appropriate
Lenders on the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facilities the aggregate principal amount of
all of its Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such date.

          (c) Swing Line Loans. The Parent Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the Maturity
Date for the Dollar Revolving Credit Facility.

          (d) For the avoidance of doubt, all Loans shall be repaid, whether pursuant to this
Section 2.07 or otherwise, in the currency in which they were made.

          SECTION 2.08. Interest.

          (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b), (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear
interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum
equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate plus (in the case
of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan that is an Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan of any Lender
which is lent from a Lending Office in the United Kingdom or a Participating Member State) the
Mandatory Cost; (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount
thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the
Applicable Rate and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus
the Applicable Rate for Dollar Revolving Credit Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, each
Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loan (other than an Alternative Currency Revolving Credit
Loan denominated in Dollars) shall be a Eurocurrency Rate Loan.

          (b) The Borrowers shall pay interest on past due amounts hereunder (whether principal,
interest, fees or other amounts) at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the
Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on
past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

          (c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall

-91-

 

be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before
and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

          (d) Interest on each Loan shall be payable in the currency in which each Loan was made.

          SECTION 2.09. Fees. In addition to certain fees described in Sections 2.03(i) and
(j):

     (a) Commitment Fee. With respect to each Revolving Credit Facility, the Parent
Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit
Lender for such Facility in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a commitment fee equal to
the Applicable Rate with respect to commitment fees times the actual daily amount by which
the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment for such Facility exceeds the sum of (A) the
Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans for such Facility and (B) the Outstanding
Amount of L/C Obligations for such Facility; provided that any commitment fee accrued with
respect to any of the Revolving Credit Commitments under such Facility of a Defaulting
Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid
at such time shall not be payable by the Parent Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a
Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such commitment fee shall otherwise have been
due and payable by the Parent Borrower prior to such time; provided further that no
commitment fee shall accrue on any of the Revolving Credit Commitments under any Facility of
a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. The commitment
fees for a Revolving Credit Facility shall accrue at all times from the Closing Date until
the Maturity Date, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in
Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears in Dollars on the
tenth Business Day following the last Business Day of each March, June, September and
December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the
Maturity Date for such Facility. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in
arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual
daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each
period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

     (b) The Parent Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a commitment fee for
the period from and including the first day of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Period
to the Delayed Draw Commitment Termination Date, computed at the Delayed Draw Commitment Fee
Rate on the average daily amount of the unutilized Delayed Draw Term Loan 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 Delayed Draw Commitment
Termination Date or such earlier date as the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments shall
terminate as provided herein, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing
Date.

     (c) Other Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Agents such fees as shall have been
separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees
shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever
(except as expressly agreed between the relevant Borrower and the applicable Agent).

          SECTION 2.10. Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base
Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the Administrative Agent’s “prime rate” shall be
made on the basis of a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.
All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual
days

-92-

 

elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on
the basis of a 365-day year) or, in the case of interest in respect of Loans denominated in
Alternative Currencies as to which market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with
such market practice. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made,
and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such
portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall,
subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative
Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error.

          SECTION 2.11. Evidence of Indebtedness.

          (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or
records maintained by such Lender and evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained
by the Administrative Agent, acting solely for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c),
as agent for the Borrowers, in each case in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or
records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent
manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the
interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not,
however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount
owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and
records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in
respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the
absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent,
the relevant Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a
Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts
or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if
applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

          (b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each Lender and
the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records
and, in the case of the Administrative Agent, entries in the Register, evidencing the purchases and
sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of
any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the
accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the
Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

          (c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to
Sections 2.11(a) and (b), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to
Sections 2.11(a) and (b), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due
and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to, in the case of the Register, each
Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent
or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such
account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

          SECTION 2.12. Payments Generally.

          (a) All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for
any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account
of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s

-93-

 

Office for payment and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. (except with respect to
payments in an Alternative Currency) on the date specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder in an Alternative Currency shall be made
to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is
owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day
Funds not later than the Applicable Time on the dates specified herein. If, for any reason, any
Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative
Currency, such Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Amount of the Alternative
Currency payment amount. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro
Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received
by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative
Agent (i) after 2:00 p.m. (New York, New York time), in the case of payments in Dollars, or (ii)
after the Applicable Time in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency, shall in each case be
deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall
continue to accrue.

          (b) If any payment to be made by any Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business
Day, payment shall be made, unless otherwise specified herein, on the next following Business Day,
and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

          (c) Unless the relevant Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any
payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of any
Lender or an L/C Issuer hereunder, that such Borrower will not make such payment, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has timely made such payment and may (but shall
not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to such Lender
or L/C Issuer. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative
Agent in Same Day Funds, then such Lender or L/C Issuer shall forthwith on demand repay to the
Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender or
L/C Issuer in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and
including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or L/C
Issuer to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the
applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.

          A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or any Borrower with respect to any amount
owing under this Section 2.12(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

          (d) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by
such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made
available to the relevant Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the
applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with
the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from
such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

          (e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to fund participations in
Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to
make any Loan or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve
any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation.

          (f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in
any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained
or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

-94-

 

          (g) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.03. If
the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties
under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not
specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall
not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the sum of (a) the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such
time and (b) the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations outstanding at such time, in repayment
or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender.

          SECTION 2.13. Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere
herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C
Obligations and Swing Line Loans held by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through
the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share
contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent
of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them
and/or such subparticipations in the participations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans held by
them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess
payment in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of
them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the
purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to
any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to
that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase
price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according
to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total
amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by
the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest
thereon. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender
may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment
(including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.10) with respect to such participation as
fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such
participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding
in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 and will in
each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that
purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall from and after such purchase have the
right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this
Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the
purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

          SECTION 2.14. Incremental Credit Extensions.

          (a) The Parent Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice
to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to
each of the Lenders), request (a) one or more additional tranches of term loans or, if satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent, an increase of an existing tranche of Term Loans (the “Incremental
Term Loans”), (b) one or more increases in the amount of the Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments
(each such increase, a “Dollar Revolving Commitment Increase”) or (c) one or more increases in the
amount of the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments (each such increase, an
“Alternative Currency Revolving Commitment Increase” and, together with any Dollar Revolving
Commitment Increase, a “Revolving Commitment Increase”); provided that (i) upon the effectiveness
of any Incremental

-95-

 

 Amendment referred to below, no Default or Event of Default shall exist, (ii) at the
time that any such Incremental Term Loan is made (and after giving effect thereto), no Default or
Event of Default shall exist and (iii) upon the effectiveness of any such Incremental Amendment and
at the time any such Incremental Term Loan is made (after giving effect thereto), the Parent
Borrower shall be in pro forma compliance with the covenant set forth in Section 7.14 for the Test
Period then last ended calculated on a pro forma basis for such Incremental Amendment and/or
Incremental Term Loan in accordance with Section 1.10 (and a certificate from the Chief Financial
Officer of the Parent Borrower demonstrating compliance with such Section calculated in reasonable
detail shall be provided to the Administrative Agent). Each tranche of Incremental Term Loans and
each Revolving Commitment Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than
a Dollar Amount of $100,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than a Dollar Amount of
$100,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the
next sentence). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate amount of the
Incremental Term Loans and the Revolving Commitment Increases shall not exceed the sum of (i)
$1,500,000,000 (such amount, the “Initial Incremental Amount”) plus (ii) the excess, if
any, of (x) 0.65 times Consolidated EBITDA for the Test Period then last ended prior to the date of
determination and calculated on a pro forma basis in accordance with Section 1.10 over (y) the
Initial Incremental Amount plus (iii) the aggregate amount of principal of Term Loans
prepaid pursuant to Sections 2.05(b)(i) and (iii) since the Closing Date that have not been
refinanced with Indebtedness under this Agreement. The Incremental Term Loans (a) shall rank pari
passu in right of payment and of security with the Revolving Credit Loans and the Term Loans, (b)
shall not mature earlier than the Maturity Date with respect to the Tranche B Term Loans (or the
Tranche A Term Loans in the case of any increase of the Tranche A Term Loans) and (c) shall be
treated substantially the same as the Tranche B Term Loans (in each case, including with respect to
mandatory and voluntary prepayments), provided that (i) the terms and conditions applicable to
Incremental Term Loans may be materially different from those of the Term Loans to the extent such
differences (other than interest rates and amortization schedule) are reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent and (ii) the interest rates and amortization schedule applicable to the
Incremental Term Loans shall be determined by the Parent Borrower and the lenders thereof; provided
that the Incremental Term Loans shall not have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity shorter than
that of the Tranche B Term Loans (except by virtue of amortization or prepayment of the Term Loans
prior to the time of such incurrence). Each notice from the Parent Borrower pursuant to this
Section shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term
Loans or Revolving Commitment Increases. Incremental Term Loans may be made, and Revolving
Commitment Increases may be provided, by any existing Lender (it being understood that no existing
Term Lender will have an obligation to make a portion of any Incremental Term Loan and no existing
Revolving Credit Lender will have an obligation to provide a portion of any Revolving Commitment
Increase), in each case on terms permitted in this Section 2.14 and otherwise on terms reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent, or by any other lender (any such other lender being called
an “Additional Lender”), provided that the Administrative Agent shall have consented (such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld) to such Lender’s or Additional Lender’s making such Incremental
Term Loans or providing such Revolving Commitment Increases if such consent would be required under
Section 10.07(b) for an assignment of Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, to such
Lender or Additional Lender. Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans and Revolving
Commitment Increases shall become Commitments (or in the case of a Revolving Commitment Increase to
be provided by an existing Revolving Credit Lender, an increase in such Lender’s applicable
Revolving Credit Commitment) under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental
Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents (including, without
limitation, an accession by each Additional Lender to the Loss Sharing Agreement), executed by the
Parent Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender,
if any, and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any
other Lenders or Loan Parties, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent
and the Parent Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section. The effectiveness

-96-

 

 of (and, in the case of any Incremental Amendment for an Incremental Term Loan, the
borrowing under) any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof
of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (it being understood that all references to
“the date of such Credit Extension” or similar language in such Section 4.02 shall be deemed to
refer to the effective date of such Incremental Amendment) and such other conditions as the parties
thereto shall agree. The Parent Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans and
Revolving Commitment Increases for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement; provided that
(i) to the extent the proceeds of Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Commitment Increases are
being used to refinance Retained Existing Notes, such refinancing occurs no earlier than the final
maturity date of such Retained Existing Notes, and (ii) any amount of Incremental Term Loans in
excess of the Initial Incremental Amount may only be used to refinance Existing Notes on their
final maturity date. Upon each increase in (A) the Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to
this Section 2.14, (x) each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender immediately prior to such increase will
automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Lender providing a portion
of the Dollar Revolving Commitment Increase (each a “Dollar Revolving Commitment Increase Lender”),
and each such Revolving Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be
deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Dollar Revolving Credit Lender’s participations hereunder
in outstanding Dollar Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans such that, after giving effect to each
such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate
outstanding (i) participations hereunder in Dollar Letters of Credit and (ii) participations
hereunder in Swing Line Loans held by each Dollar Revolving Credit Lender (including each such
Dollar Revolving Commitment Increase Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Dollar
Revolving Credit Commitments of all Dollar Revolving Credit Lenders represented by such Dollar
Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and (y) if, on the date of such increase,
there are any Dollar Revolving Credit Loans outstanding, such Dollar Revolving Credit Loans shall
on or prior to the effectiveness of such Dollar Revolving Commitment Increase be prepaid from the
proceeds of additional Dollar Revolving Credit Loans made hereunder (reflecting such increase in
Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on
the Dollar Revolving Credit Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance
with Section 3.05 and (B) the Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this
Section 2.14, (x) each Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender immediately prior to such
increase will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each Lender
providing a portion of the Alternative Currency Revolving Commitment Increase (each an “Alternative
Currency Revolving Commitment Increase Lender” and, together with each Dollar Revolving Commitment
Increase Lender, the “Revolving Commitment Increase Lenders”), and each such Alternative Currency
Revolving Commitment Increase Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have
assumed, a portion of such Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lender’s participations hereunder
in outstanding Alternative Currency Letters of Credit such that, after giving effect to each such
deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the aggregate outstanding
participations hereunder in Alternative Currency Letters of Credit held by each Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit Lender (including each such Alternative Currency Revolving Commitment
Increase Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Alternative Currency Revolving Credit
Commitments of all Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Lenders represented by such Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and (y) if, on the date of such
increase, there are any Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans outstanding, such Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such Alternative Currency
Revolving Commitment Increase be prepaid from the proceeds of additional Alternative Currency
Revolving Credit Loans made hereunder (reflecting such increase in Alternative Currency Revolving
Credit Commitments), which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Alternative
Currency Revolving Credit Loans being prepaid and any costs incurred by any Lender in accordance
with Section 3.05. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum
borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this
Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence.

-97-

 

          (b) This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary.

          SECTION 2.15. Designation of Foreign Subsidiary Revolving Borrower, Termination of
Designations.

          (a) The Parent Borrower may from time to time designate any Qualified Foreign Subsidiary as an
additional Foreign Subsidiary Revolving Borrower for purposes of this Agreement by delivering to
the Administrative Agent (i) written notice of election to become a Foreign Subsidiary Revolving
Borrower (an “Election to Participate”) duly executed on behalf of such Qualified Foreign
Subsidiary and the Parent Borrower, (ii) any document reasonably required by the Administrative
Agent for such Qualified Foreign Subsidiary to satisfy all requirements with respect to a Foreign
Subsidiary Revolving Borrower set forth in the definition of “Collateral and Guarantee Requirement”
and Section 6.11 (without giving effect to any grace periods), including, without limitation, legal
opinions, officer’s and secretary’s certificates and mortgages and perfection of Liens on personal
property and (iii) all documentation and other information with respect to such Subsidiary required
by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and
regulations, including without limitation the USA PATRIOT Act.

          (b) The Parent Borrower may terminate the status of any Subsidiary as a Foreign Subsidiary
Revolving Borrower for purpose of making further Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Borrowings
hereunder this Agreement by delivering to the Administrative Agent a written notice of election to
terminate such status as a Foreign Subsidiary Revolving Borrower (an “Election to Terminate”) duly
executed on behalf of such Subsidiary and the Parent Borrower; provided, at the time of such
Election to Terminate, such Subsidiary shall have no Alternative Currency Revolving Credit Loans or
Alternative Currency Letters of Credit outstanding. After the delivery of such Election to
Terminate such Subsidiary shall be relieved of its obligations under this Agreement as a Foreign
Subsidiary Revolving Borrower, but after the delivery of such Election to Terminate such Subsidiary
shall still be deemed to be a Foreign Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement and the delivery of
such an Election to Terminate shall not affect the obligations of any other Foreign Subsidiary
Revolving Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or thereafter incurred by any
other Foreign Subsidiary Revolving Borrower.

          (c) If the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining any Loan to a Foreign Subsidiary
Revolving Borrower is increased (or the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Lender or
its lending office is reduced) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, by reason of the
fact that such Foreign Subsidiary Revolving Borrower is incorporated in, or conducts business in, a
jurisdiction outside the United States, such Foreign Subsidiary Revolving Borrower shall indemnify
such Lender for such increased cost or reduction within fifteen (15) days after demand by such
Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.15(c)
any such increased costs resulting from (i) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income
or overall gross income (including branch profits), and franchise (and similar) taxes imposed in
lieu of net income taxes, by the United States or any foreign jurisdiction or any political
subdivision of either thereof under the Laws of which such Lender is organized or maintains a
lending office, (ii) reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.04(c) (as to which Section
3.04(c) shall govern) and (iii) the requirements of the Bank of England and the Financial Services
Authority or the European Central Bank reflected in the Mandatory Cost (as to which Section 3.04(a)
shall govern)). A certificate of such Lender claiming compensation under this Section 2.15(c) and
setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder in reasonable detail
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

          (d) Each Lender will promptly notify the Parent Borrower, the relevant Foreign Subsidiary
Revolving Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event or circumstance of which it has

-98-

 

knowledge that will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to Section 2.15(c). If any
Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15(c), then such Lender will, if requested by the
Parent Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another lending office for any
Loan or Letter of Credit affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that,
in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no
material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage.

ARTICLE III

Taxes, Increased Costs Protection and Illegality

          SECTION 3.01. Taxes.

          (a) Except as required by law (as determined in the good faith discretion of any applicable
withholding agent), any and all payments by any Borrower or any Guarantor to or for the account of
any Agent or any Lender (which term shall, for the avoidance of doubt, include, for the purposes of
Section 3.01, any L/C Issuer) under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without
deduction for, any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions,
assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities (including additions to
tax, penalties and interest) with respect thereto, imposed by any Governmental Authority (“Taxes”).
If a Borrower or a Guarantor or the Administrative Agent is required by law (as determined in the
good faith discretion of any applicable withholding agent) to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (as
defined below) or Other Taxes (as defined below) from or in respect of any sum payable under any
Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable by such Borrower or such Guarantor
shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01(a)), each of such Agent and such
Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made,
(ii) such Borrower or such Guarantor or the Administrative Agent shall make such deductions, (iii)
such Borrower or such Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing
authority, and (iv) within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment (or, if receipts or
evidence are not available within thirty (30) days, as soon as practicable thereafter), such
Borrower or such Guarantor shall furnish to such Agent or Lender (as the case may be) the original
or a facsimile copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other documentary evidence of
payment satisfactory to such Agent or Lender. If any Borrower or any Guarantor fails to pay any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to
any Agent or any Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, such Borrower
or such Guarantor shall indemnify such Agent and such Lender for any incremental Taxes that may
become payable by such Agent or such Lender arising out of such failure. “Indemnified Taxes”
refers to any Taxes arising from any payment made under any Loan Document excluding, in the case of
each Agent and each Lender, (i) net income Taxes imposed by a jurisdiction as a result of any
connection between such Agent or Lender and such jurisdiction other than the connection arising
from executing or entering into any Loan Document or any of the Transactions contemplated by any
Loan Document, (ii) Taxes imposed on or measured by its net income (including branch profits),
franchise (and similar) taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes, (iii) any withholding taxes to
the extent imposed at the time a Lender becomes a party hereto (or designates a new lending
office), except (x) to the extent that such Lender (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the
time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts or
indemnity payments from any Loan Party with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to Section
3.01 or (y) if such Foreign Lender is an assignee pursuant to a request by a Borrower and (iv) any
Taxes imposed as a result of the failure of any Lender to comply with either the provisions of
Section 3.01(b) or (c) (in the case of any Foreign Lender) or the provisions of Section 3.01(d) (in
the case of any U.S. Lender).

          (b) To the extent it is legally able to do so, each Agent or Lender (including an Assignee to
which a Lender assigns its interest in accordance with Section 10.07) that is not a “United States
person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (each a “Foreign Lender”) agrees to
complete and deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing
Date (or, if later, on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), an accurate,
complete and original signed copy of whichever of the following is applicable: (i) Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8BEN certifying that it is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty
to which the United States is a party that reduces or eliminates U.S. federal withholding tax on
payments of interest; (ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI certifying that the income
receivable pursuant to any Loan Document is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or
business in the United States; (iii) if the Foreign Lender (A) is not a bank described in Section
881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) is not a 10-percent shareholder described in Section 871(h)(3)(B) of
the Code, (C) has income receivable pursuant to any Loan Document that is not effectively connected
with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, and (D) is not a controlled foreign
corporation related to any Borrower within the meaning of Section 864(d) of the Code, a certificate
to that effect in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit L and an Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, certifying that the Foreign Lender is not a United States person; or
(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner of any obligation of any Borrower
or any Guarantor hereunder (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or participating
Lender granting a typical participation), duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8IMY, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, certificate in substantially the form attached hereto
as Exhibit L Form W-9 or Form W-8IMY from each beneficial owner, as applicable.

          (c) Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall, (i) promptly, to the
extent it is legally entitled to do so, submit to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent
such additional duly completed and signed copies of one or more of such forms or certificates (or
such successor forms or certificates as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United
States taxing authorities) as may then be available to secure an exemption from or reduction in the
rate of U.S. federal withholding tax (A) on or before the date that any such form, certificate or
other evidence previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete, (B) after the occurrence of a
change in the Foreign Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent form,
certificate or evidence previously delivered by it to the Parent Borrower and the Administrative
Agent, and (C) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, and (ii) promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent of
any change in the Foreign Lender’s circumstances which would modify or render invalid any
previously claimed exemption or reduction.

          (d) Each Agent or Lender that is a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code) (each a “U.S. Lender”) agrees to complete and deliver to the Parent
Borrower and the Administrative Agent an accurate, complete and original signed Internal Revenue
Service Form W-9 or successor form certifying that such Agent or Lender is not subject to United
States backup withholding tax (i) on or prior to the Closing Date (or, if later, on or prior to the
date it becomes a party to this Agreement), (ii) on or before the date that such form expires or
becomes obsolete, (iii) after the occurrence of a change in the Agent’s or Lender’s circumstances
requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Parent Borrower and
the Administrative Agent, and (iv) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the
Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent.

          (e) Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, if a Foreign Lender is subject to
U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate in excess of zero percent at the time such Lender or such
Agent first becomes a party to this Agreement, such U.S. federal withholding tax (including
additions to tax, penalties and interest imposed with respect to such U.S. federal withholding tax)
shall be considered excluded from Indemnified Taxes except to the extent the Foreign Lender’s
assignor was entitled to additional amounts or indemnity payments prior to the assignment or the
assignment was pursuant to a request

-100-

 

of a Borrower. Further, no Borrower shall be required pursuant to this Section 3.01 to pay
any additional amount to, or to indemnify, any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, with respect to
Indemnified Taxes to the extent that such Lender or such Agent becomes subject to such Indemnified
Taxes subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date such Lender or Agent becomes a party
to this Agreement) solely as a result of a change in the place of organization or place of doing
business of such Lender or Agent or a change in the Lending Office of such Lender (other than at
the written request of a Borrower to change such Lending Office).

          (f) Each Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary
taxes and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording taxes or charges or similar
levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery,
performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document
(including additions to tax, penalties and interest related thereto) excluding, in each case, such
amounts that result from an Agent or Lender’s Assignment and Assumption, grant of a Participation,
transfer or assignment to or designation of a new applicable Lending Office or other office for
receiving payments under any Loan Document (collectively, “Assignment Taxes”) to the extent such
Assignment Taxes result from a connection that the Agent or Lender has with the taxing jurisdiction
other than the connection arising out of the Loan Document or the transactions therein, except for
Assignment Taxes resulting from assignment or participation that is requested or required in
writing by the Parent Borrower (all such non-excluded taxes described in this Section 3.01(f) being
hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

          (g) If any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are directly asserted against any Agent or Lender,
such Agent or Lender may pay such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and the relevant Borrower will
promptly pay such additional amounts so that each of such Agent and such Lender receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes been asserted;
whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted; provided that if the
relevant Borrower reasonably believes that such Taxes or Other Taxes were not correctly or
reasonably asserted, each such Agent or Lender will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such
Borrower to obtain a refund of such Taxes or Other Taxes (which shall be repaid such Borrower in
accordance with Section 3.01(h)) so long as such efforts would not, in the sole good faith
determination of such Agent or Lender, result in any additional costs, expenses or risks or be
otherwise disadvantageous to it. Payments under this Section 3.01(g) shall be made within ten (10)
days after the date such Borrower receives written demand for payment from such Agent or Lender. A
certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or
the Agent (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own
behalf or on behalf of a Lender or any other Agent, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

          (h) If any Lender or Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that it is entitled to receive
a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or
additional amounts have been paid to it by any Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to receive such refund and upon receipt of any such refund
shall promptly remit such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional
amounts paid, by the relevant Borrower under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund plus any interest included in such refund by the
relevant taxing authority attributable thereto) to such Borrower, net of all reasonable out of
pocket expenses of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any
interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund); provided that each
Borrower, upon the request of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, agrees promptly to return
such refund to such party, together with any interest and penalties charged by the relevant taxing
authority, in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing
authority. Such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall provide the relevant Borrower with a
copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received
from the

-101-

 

relevant taxing authority (provided that such Lender or Agent may delete any information
therein that such Lender or Agent deems confidential in its reasonable discretion). Nothing herein
contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender or Agent to arrange its tax affairs in
whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or Agent to claim any tax refund or make
available its tax returns or any other information it reasonably deems confidential or require any
Lender to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits,
relief, remission or repayments to which it may be entitled.

          (i) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of
Section 3.01(a) or (g) with respect to such Lender it will, if requested by the relevant Borrower,
use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to legal and regulatory restrictions) to mitigate the
effect of any such event, including by designating another Lending Office for any Loan or Letter of
Credit affected by such event and by completing and delivering or filing any tax related forms
which would reduce or eliminate any amount of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes required to be
deducted or withheld or paid by the relevant Borrower; provided that such efforts are made at the
relevant Borrower’s expense and on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause
such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory
disadvantage, and provided further that nothing in this Section 3.01(i) shall affect or postpone
any of the Obligations of such Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(a) or
(g).

          SECTION 3.02. Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Law has made
it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or
its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund any Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or to
determine or charge interest rates based upon the applicable Eurocurrency Rate, then, on notice
thereof by such Lender to the Parent Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of
such Lender to make or continue any affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans
to such Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative
Agent and the Parent Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer
exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Parent Borrower may revoke any pending request for a
Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans and shall upon demand from
such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable and such Loans are
denominated in Dollars, convert all then outstanding affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such
Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender
may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or promptly, if such
Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Upon any such
prepayment or conversion, the Parent Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so
prepaid or converted and all amounts due, if any, in connection with such prepayment or conversion
under Section 3.05. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation
will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender,
otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

          SECTION 3.03. Inability To Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that by
reason of any changes affecting the applicable interbank eurodollar market adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with
respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or that the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested
Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, or that deposits are not being offered to
banks in the relevant interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and the Interest Period
of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, in each case due to circumstances arising on or after the date
hereof, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Parent Borrower and each Lender.
Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain any affected Eurocurrency Rate Loans
shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders)
revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Parent Borrower may revoke any pending
request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency

-102-

 

 Rate Loans or, failing that, in the case of Loans denominated in Dollars, will be deemed
to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount
specified therein.

          SECTION 3.04. Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on
Eurocurrency Rate Loans.

          (a) If any Lender reasonably determines that as a result of the introduction of, or any change
in, or in the interpretation of, any Law, in each case after the date hereof, there shall be any
increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining
Eurocurrency Rate Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or a reduction in the
amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for
purposes of this Section 3.04(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i)
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01, or any Taxes excluded from the definition
of Indemnified Taxes under exception (i) thereof to the extent such Taxes are imposed on or
measured by net income or profits or branch profits or franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of the
foregoing taxes) and any Taxes excluded from the definition of Indemnified Taxes under exceptions
(ii) and (iii) thereof, (ii) reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.04(c), (iii) the
requirements of the Bank of England and the Financial Services Authority or the European Central
Bank reflected in the Mandatory Cost or that does not represent the cost to such Lender of
complying with the requirements of any applicable Law in relation to its making, funding or
maintaining of Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (iv) the implementation or application of or compliance
with the “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards, a Revised
Framework” published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in June 2004 in the form
existing on the date of this Agreement (“Basel II”) or any other law or regulation which implements
Basel II (whether such implementation, application or compliance is by a government, regulator, the
Lenders or any of their Affiliates or the Agents or any of their Affiliates)), then from time to
time within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such
increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with
Section 3.06), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate
such Lender for such increased cost or reduction. At any time that any Eurocurrency Rate Loan is
affected by the circumstances described in this Section 3.04(a), the Borrowers may either (i) if
the affected Eurocurrency Rate Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel such
Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing)
thereof on the same date that the Borrowers receive any such demand from such Lender or (ii) if the
affected Eurocurrency Rate Loan is then outstanding and is denominated in Dollars, upon at least
three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert
such Eurocurrency Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan, if applicable.

          (b) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or
any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, in each case after the date hereof, or
compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of
return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of
such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital
adequacy), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the
charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the
Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrowers shall promptly pay to
such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction after receipt
of such demand.

          (c) The Borrowers shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to
maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency
funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate
Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as
determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error), and (ii) as

-103-

 

long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or
analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in
respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such
additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the
nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such
Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is
payable on such Loan, provided the Parent Borrower shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’
prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from
such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice at least fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant
Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days
from receipt of such notice.

          (d) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 3.04, then such Lender will, if
requested by the Parent Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another Lending
Office for any Loan or Letter of Credit affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made
on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending
Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided further
that nothing in this Section 3.04(d) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the
Borrowers or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a), (b) or (c).

          SECTION 3.05. Funding Losses. Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) from time to time, which demand shall set forth in reasonable detail the
basis for requesting such amount, each Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold
such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense reasonably incurred by it as a result of:

     (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurocurrency Rate Loan
on a day prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or

     (b) any failure by such Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to
make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Eurocurrency Rate Loan on the date
or in the amount notified by such Borrower;

including any loss or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) actually incurred by reason
of the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loan
or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.

          SECTION 3.06. Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation.

          (a) Any Agent or Lender claiming compensation under this Article III shall deliver a
certificate to the Parent Borrower setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it
hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount,
such Agent or Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

          (b) With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or
3.04, the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more
than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Parent
Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided that, if the circumstance giving rise
to such claim is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to
include the period of retroactive effect thereof. If any Lender requests compensation by the
Borrowers under Section 3.04, the Borrowers may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue from one Interest
Period to another Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or

-104-

 

to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans, until the event or condition giving
rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.06(c) shall
be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive
the compensation so requested.

          (c) If any Lender gives notice to the Parent Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to the
conversion of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 3.06 no longer exist
(which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when
Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall
be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such
outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto,
all Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurocurrency Rate Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata
(as to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their
respective Pro Rata Shares.

          SECTION 3.07. Replacement of Lenders Under Certain Circumstances.

          (a) If at any time (i) any Lender requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to
Section 3.01 or 3.04 as a result of any condition described in such Sections or any Lender ceases
to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.02 or
Section 3.04, (ii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or (iii) any Lender becomes a
Non-Consenting Lender, then the Parent Borrower may, on five (5) Business Days’ prior written
notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by causing such Lender to
(and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to and in accordance with Section 10.07(b)
(with the assignment fee to be paid by the Parent Borrower, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii)
only) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, with respect to clause (iii)
above, all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is
the subject of the related consent, waiver or amendment) to one or more Eligible Assignees;
provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the
Parent Borrower to find a replacement Lender or other such Person; and provided further that in the
case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the
applicable Eligible Assignees shall have agreed to the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of
the Loan Documents. No such replacement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the
Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced
Lender.

          (b) Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 3.07(a) above shall (i) execute and deliver
an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and
participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans, and (ii) deliver any Notes evidencing such
Loans to the Parent Borrower or Administrative Agent (or a lost or destroyed note indemnity in lieu
thereof). Pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or
a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and
participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans, (B) the assignee Lender shall purchase, at
par, all Loans, accrued interest, accrued fees and other amounts owing to the assigning Lender as
of the date of replacement and (C) upon such payment (regardless of whether such replaced Lender
has executed an Assignment and Assumption or delivered its Notes to the Parent Borrower or the
Administrative Agent), the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender
shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and
participations, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall
survive as to such assigning Lender.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, any Lender that acts as an L/C
Issuer may not be replaced hereunder at any time that it has any Letter of Credit outstanding

-105-

 

hereunder unless arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (including the
furnishing of a back-up standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer
reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer or the depositing of cash collateral into a cash
collateral account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C
Issuer) have been made with respect to each such outstanding Letter of Credit and the Lender that
acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms
of Section 9.09.

          (d) In the event that (i) the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested that
the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to
any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of
all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01 or all the Lenders with respect
to a certain Class or Classes of the Loans and (iii) the Required Lenders have agreed to such
consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or
amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender.”

          SECTION 3.08. Survival. All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III
shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations
hereunder.

ARTICLE IV

Conditions Precedent to Credit Extensions

          SECTION 4.01. Conditions to Initial Credit Extension. The obligation of each Lender
to make a Credit Extension hereunder on the Closing Date is subject to satisfaction of the
following conditions precedent:

          (a) The Administrative Agent’s receipt of executed counterparts of (i) this Agreement,
executed by Merger Sub and (ii) the Joinder Agreement, executed by Holdings, the Parent Borrower
and each Subsidiary Co-Borrower, each of which shall be original or facsimiles (followed promptly
by originals) unless otherwise specified, each properly executed by a Responsible Officer of the
signing Loan Party.

          (b) Prior to or substantially simultaneously with the initial Credit Extension on the Closing
Date, the Merger shall be consummated pursuant to the Merger Agreement; provided that none of the
following provisions of the Merger Agreement shall have been amended or waived in any respect
materially adverse to the Lenders without the prior written consent of the Lead Arrangers, not to
be unreasonably withheld: Sections 2.01, 2.03, 3.01, 6.01(c) (but only to the extent such
amendment or waiver would have been required if the reference therein to $100 million were replaced
with $200 million), 6.01(e), 6.01(f) (but only to the extent such amendment or waiver would have
been required if Clear Media Limited and its subsidiaries were excluded from such provision),
6.01(g), 6.01(n), 6.01(r), 6.01(t) (to the extent relating to any of the foregoing), 6.13(b), 7.01
or 7.02 (except to the extent any condition set forth therein is not satisfied solely as a result
of a breach of any of the foregoing provisions of Article VI of the Merger Agreement).

          (c) Prior to or substantially simultaneously with the initial Credit Extensions on the Closing
Date, the Equity Contribution shall have been consummated.

          Upon satisfaction of the foregoing conditions and the disbursement of the Debt Funding (as
defined in the Escrow Agreement) pursuant to Section 5(a)(i) of the Escrow Agreement, such Debt
Funding shall be deemed to constitute an initial Credit Extension hereunder. The Parent Borrower
may also obtain an Initial Revolving Borrowing permitted under clause (a)(ii) of the definition of
“Permitted

-106-

 

Initial Revolving Borrowing Purposes” by delivery to the Administrative Agent and, if
applicable, the relevant L/C Issuer of a Request for Credit Extension in accordance with the
requirements hereof. The Lenders may terminate their obligations to make Loans or other Credit
Extensions hereunder if the foregoing conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived pursuant
to Section 10.01) at or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the earliest of (i) the
twentieth Business Day following the receipt of the Requisite Shareholder Approval (as defined in
the Merger Agreement), (ii) the twentieth Business Day following the failure to obtain the
Requisite Shareholder Approval at a duly held Shareholders’ Meeting (as defined in the Merger
Agreement) after giving effect to all adjournments and postponements thereof, (iii) five Business
Days following the termination of the Merger Agreement or (iv) December 31, 2008 (the “Termination
Date”); provided, however, that if (A) the Requisite Shareholder Approval is obtained and (B) any
regulatory approval required in connection with the consummation of the Merger has not been
obtained (or has lapsed and not been renewed) or any waiting period under applicable antitrust laws
has not expired (or has restarted and such new period has not expired), then the Termination Date
shall automatically be extended until the twentieth Business Day following receipt of all such
approvals (or renewals), but in no event later than March 31, 2009. If as of the Termination Date
there is a dispute among any of the parties to the Escrow Agreement with respect to the disposition
of any Escrow Funds (as defined in the Escrow Agreement), Merger Sub may, by written notice to the
Administrative Agent, extend the Termination Date until the fifth Business Day following the final
resolution of such dispute by a court of competent jurisdiction or mutual resolution by the parties
to such dispute; provided, however, that the Termination Date with respect to any Lender shall
occur on the date such Lender withdraws its portion of the Escrow Funds pursuant to Section 5(f) of
the Escrow Agreement.

          SECTION 4.02. Conditions to Subsequent Credit Extensions. The obligation of each
Lender to honor any Request for Credit Extension after the Closing Date (other than a Committed
Loan Notice requesting only a conversion of Loans to the other Type, or a continuation of
Eurocurrency Rate Loans) is subject to the following conditions precedent:

          (a) Except in the case of borrowings of Delayed Draw Term Loans, the representations and
warranties of the Parent Borrower and each other Loan Party contained in Article V or any other
Loan Document shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such
Credit Extension; provided that, to the extent that such representations and warranties
specifically refer to an earlier date, they shall be true and correct in all material respects as
of such earlier date; provided, further that any representation and warranty that is qualified as
to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct (after
giving effect to any qualification therein) in all respects on such respective dates.

          (b) (i) Except in the case of borrowings of Delayed Draw Term Loans, no Default shall exist,
or would result from such proposed Credit Extension or from the application of the proceeds
therefrom and (ii) in the case of borrowings of Delayed Draw Term Loans, no Default under Section
8.01(a) or (j) (with respect to Parent Borrower only in the case of Section 8.01(j)) shall exist,
or would result from such proposed Credit Extension or from the application of the proceeds
therefrom.

          (c) The Administrative Agent and, if applicable, the relevant L/C Issuer or the Swing Line
Lender shall have received a Request for Credit Extension in accordance with the requirements
hereof.

          Each Request for Credit Extension (other than a Committed Loan Notice requesting only a
conversion of Loans to the other Type or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans) submitted by a
Borrower shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty that the conditions specified in
Sections 4.02(a) and (b) have been satisfied on and as of the date of the applicable Credit
Extension.

Organization Documents, (b) result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of any Lien
upon any of the property or assets of such Person or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (other than

other Loan Document constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party,

and their estimated results of operations for the period covered thereby.

liabilities or obligations of any nature, whether or not accrued, contingent or otherwise, that
would be required by GAAP to be reflected on a consolidated balance sheet (or notes thereto) of the
Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries, other than those which would not have, individually or in
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the Parent Borrower.

          (c) Since the Closing Date, there has been no event or circumstance, either individually or in

that do not materially interfere with its ability to conduct its business or to utilize such assets
for their intended purposes and Liens permitted by Section 7.01 and except where the failure to
have such title or other interest would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) each of the Parent
Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries has obtained and holds all Permits required for any
property owned, leased or otherwise operated by such Person and for the operation of each of its
businesses as presently conducted, (ii) all such Permits are in full force and effect, and each of
the Parent Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries has performed all requirements of such Permits
to the extent performance is due, (iii) no event has occurred which allows or results in, or after
notice or lapse of time would allow or result in, revocation or termination by the issuer thereof
or in any other impairment of the rights of the holder of any such Permit prior to the expiration
of any stated term; and (iv) none of such Permits contain any restrictions, either individually or
in the aggregate, that are materially burdensome to the Parent Borrower or any of the Restricted

each case, so long as the aggregate outstanding principal amount thereunder is greater than
the Threshold Amount and not otherwise required to be furnished to the Administrative Agent
pursuant to any other clause of this Section 6.02;

     (e) together with the delivery of the financial statements pursuant to
(i) Section 6.01(a), a report setting forth the information required by Section 3.03(c) of
each Security Agreement (other than the Holdings Pledge Agreement) or confirming that there
has been no change in such information since the Closing Date or the date of the last such
report, and (ii) Section 6.01(a) and Section 6.01(b) (x) a description of each event,

and the date of the last such list;

     (f) promptly, such additional information regarding the business, legal, financial or
corporate affairs of any Loan Party or any Material Subsidiary, or compliance with the terms

and

     (g) upon request by the Administrative Agent, copies of: (i) each Schedule B

-115-

 

the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. Promptly following any reasonable
request therefor by the Administrative Agent, on and after the effectiveness of the Pension
Act, copies of (i) any documents described in Section 101(k) of ERISA that Holdings, the
Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary or any of their ERISA Affiliates obtained during the last

Section 101(l) of ERISA that Holdings, the Parent Borrower, any Subsidiary or any of their
ERISA Affiliates obtained during the last twelve months with respect to any Multiemployer
Plan; provided that if such documents or notices have not been obtained or requested from
the administrator or sponsor of the applicable Multiemployer Plan upon reasonable request by
the Administrative Agent, the applicable Person shall promptly make a request for such
documents or notices from such administrator or sponsor and shall provide copies of such
documents and notices promptly after receipt thereof.

          Documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 or Section 6.02(a) or 6.02(c) may
be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date
(i) on which the Parent Borrower posts such documents, or provides a link thereto on the Parent
Borrower’s website on the Internet at the website address listed on Schedule 10.02; or
(ii) on which such documents are posted on the Parent Borrower’s behalf on IntraLinks/IntraAgency
or another relevant website, if any, to which each Lender and the Administrative Agent have access
(whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent);
provided that: (i) upon written request by the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower shall
deliver paper copies of such documents to the Administrative Agent for further distribution to each
Lender until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by the Administrative
Agent and (ii) the Parent Borrower shall notify (which may be by facsimile or electronic mail) the
Administrative Agent of the posting of any such documents or a link thereto and provide to the
Administrative Agent by electronic mail electronic versions (i.e., soft copies) of such documents.
Each Lender shall be solely responsible for timely accessing posted documents or requesting
delivery of paper copies of such documents from the Administrative Agent and maintaining its copies
of such documents.

          The Parent Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent, the Syndication
Agents and/or the Arrangers will make available to the Lenders Communications by posting such
Communications on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain
of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material
non-public information with respect to the Parent Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public
Lender”). The Parent Borrower hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to
identify that portion of the Communications that may be distributed to the Public Lenders and that
(w) all such Communications shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum,
shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by
marking Communications “PUBLIC,” the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the
Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agents, the Arrangers and the Lenders to treat such
Communications as not containing any material non-public information (although it may be sensitive
and proprietary) with respect to the Parent Borrower or its securities for purposes of United
States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Communications
constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.08); (y) all
Communications marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform
designated “Public Investor”; and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers shall be entitled
to treat any Communications that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a
portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor.” Neither the Administrative Agent nor any
of its Affiliates shall be responsible for any statement or other designation by a Loan Party
regarding whether a Communication contains or does not contain material non-public information with
respect to any of the Loan Parties or their securities nor shall the Administrative Agent or any of
its Affiliates incur any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender or any other Person for any action
taken by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates based upon such statement or
designation, including any action as a result of which

-116-

 

Restricting Information is provided to a Lender that may decide not to take access to
Restricting Information. Nothing in this Section 6.02 shall modify or limit a Lender’s obligations
under Section 10.08 with regard to Communications and the maintenance of the confidentiality of or
other treatment of Information.

          Although the Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable
security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to
time (including, as of the Closing Date, a dual firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization
System) and the Platform is secured through a single-user-per-deal authorization method whereby
each user may access the Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders and each Loan
Party acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not
necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such
distribution. In consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such
distribution and for the other consideration provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Lenders and each Loan Party hereby approves distribution
of the Approved Electronic Communications through the Platform and understands and assumes the
risks of such distribution.

          THE PLATFORM AND THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS
AVAILABLE.” NONE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OTHER MEMBER OF THE AGENT’S GROUP WARRANT THE
ACCURACY, ADEQUACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM AND
EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC
COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY
THE AGENTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM.

          Each of the Lenders and each Loan Party agree that the Administrative Agent may, but (except
as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Approved Electronic
Communications on the Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally-applicable
document retention procedures and policies.

          SECTION 6.03. Notices. Promptly after a Responsible Officer obtains actual knowledge
thereof, notify the Administrative Agent:

     (a) of the occurrence of any Default; and

     (b) of (i) any dispute, litigation, investigation or proceeding between any Loan Party
and any Governmental Authority, (ii) the commencement of, or any material development in,
any litigation or proceeding affecting any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, including pursuant
to any applicable Environmental Laws or in respect of IP Rights, the occurrence of any
noncompliance by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries with, or liability under, any
Environmental Law or Environmental Permit, or (iii) the occurrence of any ERISA Event that,
in any such case, has resulted or would reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.

          Each notice pursuant to this Section shall be accompanied by a written statement of a
Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower (x) that such notice is being delivered pursuant to
Section 6.03(a) or (b) (as applicable) and (y) setting forth details of the occurrence referred to
therein and stating what action the Parent Borrower has taken and proposes to take with respect
thereto.

-117-

 

          SECTION 6.04. Payment of Obligations. Timely pay, discharge or otherwise satisfy, as
the same shall become due and payable, all of its obligations and liabilities in respect of Taxes
imposed upon it or upon its income or profits or in respect of its property, except, in each case,
to the extent (i) any such Tax is being contested in good faith and by appropriate actions for
which appropriate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP or (ii) the failure to pay
or discharge the same would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a
Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 6.05. Preservation of Existence, Etc. (a) Preserve, renew and maintain in
full force and effect its legal existence under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization,
(b) take all reasonable action to maintain all corporate rights and privileges (including its good
standing) to the extent such concept exists in such jurisdiction and (c) maintain all other
material rights and privileges (including, without limitation, material Broadcast Licenses) except,
in the case of (a) (other than in the case of the Borrowers except to the extent expressly
permitted by Section 7.04), (b) or (c) to the extent that failure to do so would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or pursuant to a transaction permitted by Article VII.

          SECTION 6.06. Maintenance of Properties. Except if the failure to do so would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, maintain, preserve and protect all of its
material properties and equipment necessary in the operation of its business in good working order,
repair and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted and casualty or condemnation excepted and
consistent with past practice.

          SECTION 6.07. Maintenance of Insurance.

          (a) Maintain with insurance companies that the Parent Borrower believes (in the good faith
judgment of its management) are financially sound and reputable at the time the relevant coverage
is placed or renewed, insurance with respect to its properties and business against loss or damage
of the kinds customarily insured against by Persons engaged in the same or similar business, of
such types and in such amounts (after giving effect to any self-insurance reasonable and customary
for similarly situated Persons engaged in the same or similar businesses as the Parent Borrower and
the Restricted Subsidiaries) as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by such other
Persons.

          (b) If any portion of any Mortgaged Property is at any time located in an area identified by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any successor agency) as a Special Flood Hazard Area
with respect to which flood insurance has been made available under the National Flood Insurance
Act of 1968 (as now or hereafter in effect or successor act thereto), then (i) maintain, or cause
to be maintained, with a financially sound and reputable insurer, flood insurance in an amount and
otherwise sufficient to comply with all applicable rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to
the Flood Insurance Laws.

          (c) All such insurance (other than business interruption insurance) as to which the
Administrative Agent shall have reasonably requested to be so named, shall name the Administrative
Agent as loss payee and/or additional insured, as applicable; provided, however, that the naming of
the Administrative Agent as loss payee is only for the purpose of perfecting the Lien on the
Collateral granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties to the extent
required by the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement.

          SECTION 6.08. Compliance with Laws.

          (a) Comply in all material respects with the requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs,
injunctions and decrees of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or to its business or property,

-118-

 

except if the failure to comply therewith would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

          (b) (i) Operate all of the Broadcast Stations in material compliance with the Communications
Laws and the FCC’s rules, regulations and published policies promulgated thereunder and with the
terms of the Broadcast Licenses, (ii) timely file all required reports and notices with the FCC and
pay all amounts due in timely fashion on account of fees and charges to the FCC and (iii) timely
file and prosecute all applications for renewal or for extension of time with respect to all of the
FCC Authorizations, except, in each case, for any failure which would not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 6.09. Books and Records. Maintain proper books of record and account, in
which entries that are full, true and correct in all material respects and are in conformity with
GAAP consistently applied shall be made of all material financial transactions and matters
involving the assets and business of the Parent Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case
may be.

          SECTION 6.10. Inspection Rights. Permit representatives and independent contractors
of the Administrative Agent and each Lender to visit and inspect any of its properties, to examine
its corporate, financial and operating records, and make copies thereof or abstracts therefrom
(other than the records of the Board of Directors of such Loan Party or such Restricted Subsidiary)
and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its directors, officers, and independent
public accountants (subject to customary access agreements), all at the reasonable expense of the
Parent Borrower and at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as may be
reasonably desired, upon reasonable advance notice to the Parent Borrower; provided that, excluding
any such visits and inspections during the continuation of an Event of Default, only the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may exercise rights of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders under this Section 6.10 and the Administrative Agent shall not exercise such rights
more often than two (2) times during any calendar year absent the existence of an Event of Default
and only one (1) such time shall be at the Parent Borrower’s expense; provided further that when an
Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective
representatives or independent contractors) may do any of the foregoing at the expense of the
Parent Borrower at any time during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice. The
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall give the Parent Borrower the opportunity to participate
in any discussions with the Parent Borrower’s independent public accountants. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 6.10, none of the Parent Borrower or any of the Restricted
Subsidiaries will be required to disclose, permit the inspection, examination or making copies or
abstracts of, or discussion of, any document, information or other matter that (i) constitutes
non-financial trade secrets or non-financial proprietary information, (ii) in respect of which
disclosure to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or their respective representatives or
contractors) is prohibited by Law or any binding agreement or (iii) is subject to attorney-client
or similar privilege or constitutes attorney work product.

          SECTION 6.11. Covenant To Guarantee Obligations and Give Security. At the Parent
Borrower’s expense, take all action necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent
to ensure that the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement continues to be satisfied, including:

     (a) (1) upon the formation, acquisition or designation (x) by any U.S. Loan Party of
any existing or new direct or indirect wholly-owned Material Domestic Subsidiary (other than
an Excluded Subsidiary) that is a Restricted Subsidiary (for the avoidance of doubt,
including CCOH and its wholly-owned Restricted Subsidiaries which are Material Domestic
Subsidiaries but not Excluded Subsidiaries upon CCOH becoming wholly-owned by the Loan
Parties) or (y) by any U.S. Loan Party or Foreign Loan Party of any direct or indirect
wholly-owned Material Foreign Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) that is a
Restricted Subsidiary or (2) upon the

-119-

 

designation by any Loan Party of any Unrestricted Subsidiary that is a direct or
indirect wholly-owned Material Domestic Subsidiary or Material Foreign Subsidiary referred
to in the foregoing clause (x) or (y) (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) as a Restricted
Subsidiary in accordance with Section 6.14:

     (i) within 45 days after such formation, acquisition or designation, or such
longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in writing in its discretion:

     (A) (x) cause each such Restricted Subsidiary that is required to
become a Guarantor pursuant to the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to
duly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Guaranty (or
supplement thereto) and (y) cause each such Restricted Subsidiary that is
required to grant a Lien on any Collateral pursuant to the Collateral and
Guarantee Requirement to duly execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent Mortgages with respect to any Material Real Property, Guaranties,
Security Agreement Supplements, Intellectual Property Security Agreements
and other security agreements and documents, as reasonably requested by and
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
(consistent with the Mortgages, Security Agreement, Intellectual Property
Security Agreements and other security agreements in effect on the Closing
Date), in each case granting Liens required by, and subject to the
limitations and exceptions of, the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement;

     (B) cause each Loan Party that is required to pledge any Equity
Interests or intercompany note held by such Loan Party pursuant to the
Collateral and Guarantee Requirement to deliver any and all certificates
representing Equity Interests and intercompany notes (to the extent
certificated) that are required to be pledged pursuant to the Collateral and
Guarantee Requirement, accompanied by undated stock or note powers or other
appropriate instruments of transfer, indorsed in blank to the Administrative
Agent; and

     (C) take and cause such Restricted Subsidiary and each direct or
indirect parent of such Restricted Subsidiary to take whatever action
(including the recording of Mortgages, the filing of UCC financing
statements and delivery of stock and membership interest certificates) as
may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent to
vest in the Administrative Agent (or in any representative of the
Administrative Agent designated by it) valid and perfected Liens to the
extent required by the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement, and to
otherwise comply with the requirements of the Collateral and Guarantee
Requirement;

     (ii) if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, within forty-five
(45) days after such request, deliver to the Administrative Agent a signed copy of
an opinion, addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, of counsel for
the Loan Parties reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent as to such
matters set forth in this Section 6.11(a) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably
request; and

     (iii) as promptly as practicable after the request therefor by the
Administrative Agent, deliver to the Administrative Agent with respect to each
parcel of Material Real Property constituting Collateral, any existing title
reports, abstracts, surveys or environmental assessment reports, to the extent
available and in the possession or control of

-120-

 

the Parent Borrower; provided, however, that there shall be no obligation to
deliver to the Administrative Agent any existing environmental assessment report
whose disclosure to the Administrative Agent would require the consent of a Person
other than the Parent Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries, where, despite the
commercially reasonable efforts of the Parent Borrower to obtain such consent, such
consent cannot be obtained.

     (b) If after the Closing Date, the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary creates
or acquires any License Subsidiary that is a Material Subsidiary, then the Parent Borrower
shall, as soon as practicable (and in any event within 45 days (as such date may be extended
by the Administrative Agent in its discretion), designate such License Subsidiary as a
Retained Existing Notes Indenture Unrestricted Subsidiary.

     (c) If any Principal Properties Certificate required to be delivered hereunder
demonstrates that the Principal Properties Collateral Amount does not exceed the Principal
Properties Permitted Amount multiplied by 2.5, then the Parent Borrower shall cause, as soon
as practicable (and in any event within 120 days (as such date may be extended in writing by
the Administrative Agent in its discretion) after the date of delivery of such Principal
Properties Certificate) Additional Principal Properties of the Parent Borrower or any U.S.
Guarantor, as selected by the Parent Borrower, having a Fair Market Value, as determined by
the Parent Borrower (acting reasonably and in good faith), that would result in, after
giving effect to grant of a Lien thereon, the aggregate Principal Properties Collateral
Amount being at least 2.5 times the Principal Properties Permitted Amount, to be subject to
a Lien and Mortgage in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties and shall take, or cause the relevant Loan Party to take, such actions as shall be
necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to grant and perfect or record
such Lien, in each case to the extent required by, and subject to the limitations and
exceptions of, the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement and to otherwise comply with the
requirements of the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement.

     (d) If after the Closing Date, the Loan Parties acquire any asset or group of assets
with a Fair Market Value in excess of $25,000,000 (as determined by the Parent Borrower
(acting reasonably and in good faith)) the Parent Borrower shall within 45 days following
the end of the fiscal quarter in which such acquisition occurred make a determination
(acting reasonably and in good faith) as to whether such asset or group of assets
constitutes Non-Principal Property. If the Parent Borrower determines that such asset or
group of assets constitutes Non-Principal Property, the Parent Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such designation by delivery of an Additional Non-Principal
Properties Certificate determining that such Non-Principal Property constitutes Additional
Non-Principal Properties Collateral and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, the
applicable Loan Party will cause such assets to be subjected to a Lien and Mortgage, if
applicable, in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and
will take, and cause the other applicable Loan Parties to take, such actions as shall be
necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent as soon as commercially
reasonable but in no event later than 75 days following the end of the quarter in which such
acquisition occurred, unless extended by the Administrative Agent in writing in its
discretion, to grant and perfect the Liens required by, and subject to the limitations and
exceptions of, the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement and to otherwise comply with the
requirements of the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement. Any designation made by the
Parent Borrower in accordance with this paragraph (d) shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error.

     (e) If (i) the Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party Disposes of any Non-Principal
Properties Collateral with a Fair Market Value in excess of $25,000,000 as determined by the
Parent Borrower (acting reasonably and in good faith), and (ii) the Parent Borrower does not
give

-121-

 

written notice to the Administrative Agent of its intent to reinvest, in accordance
with Section 2.05(b)(ii)(B), the Net Cash Proceeds received from such Disposition in
Additional Non-Principal Properties Collateral that will be subject to a Lien and Mortgage
in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (in which case
the Parent Borrower shall take, or cause the relevant Loan Party to take, such actions as
shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to grant and perfect
or record such Lien, in each case to the extent required by, and subject to the limitations
and exceptions of, the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement and to otherwise comply with the
requirements of the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement), then, as soon as practicable (in
the reasonable judgment of the Parent Borrower) the Parent Borrower shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to (x) designate Additional Non-Principal Properties Collateral having an
equal or greater Fair Market Value, as determined by the Parent Borrower (acting reasonably
and in good faith), than the Fair Market Value of such Disposed Collateral and (y) cause
such Additional Non-Principal Properties to be subject to a Lien and Mortgage if applicable,
in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and take, or
cause the relevant Loan Party to take, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably
requested by the Administrative Agent to grant and perfect or record such Lien, in each case
to the extent required by, and subject to the limitations and exceptions of, the Collateral
and Guarantee Requirement and to otherwise comply with the requirements of the Collateral
and Guarantee Requirement.

     (f) No later than 60 days after the satisfaction of the Existing Notes Condition
(unless extended by the Administrative Agent in writing in its discretion), the Parent
Borrower shall, in each case at the Parent Borrower’s expense, cause the assets of each
Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor to be subject to a Lien and Mortgage in favor of the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and take, or cause the relevant
Loan Party to take, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent to grant and perfect or record such Lien, in each case to the extent
required by, and subject to the limitations and exceptions of, the Collateral and Guarantee
Requirement and to otherwise comply with the requirements of the Collateral and Guarantee
Requirement (it being understood and agreed that any Existing Notes that, unless the
Existing Notes Condition has been satisfied pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition
thereof, shall then be outstanding shall be permitted to be equally and ratably secured by
such assets under this clause (f) to the extent required by the term of the Retained
Existing Notes Indenture).

     (g) Not later than 60 days after the acquisition by any Foreign Loan Party of any real
or personal property with a Fair Market Value in excess of $25,000,000 as determined by the
Parent Borrower (acting reasonably and in good faith) that is required to be provided as
Collateral pursuant to the definition of “Collateral and Guarantee Requirement,” which
property would not be automatically subject to another Lien pursuant to pre-existing
Collateral Documents, cause such property to be subject to a Lien and Mortgage in favor of
the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and take, or cause the
relevant Loan Party to take, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by
the Administrative Agent to grant and perfect or record such Lien, in each case to the
extent required by, and subject to the limitations and exceptions of, the Collateral and
Guarantee Requirement and to otherwise comply with the requirements of the Collateral and
Guarantee Requirement.

     (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parent Borrower
shall not be required to (i) deliver any Mortgages or related documentation prior to the
date that is 120 days after the Closing Date, which may be extended by the Administrative
Agent in its sole discretion, or (ii) take any action or deliver any document set forth on
Schedule 6.11(h) before the

-122-

 

time limit set forth on such Schedule with respect to such action or document, any such
time limit which may be extended by the Administrative Agent acting in its sole discretion.

          SECTION 6.12. Compliance with Environmental Laws. Except, in each case, to the extent
that the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, (a) comply, and take all reasonable actions to cause any
lessees and other Persons operating or occupying its properties or facilities to comply with all
applicable Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits; (b) obtain and renew all Environmental
Permits necessary for its operations, properties and facilities; and (c) in each case to the extent
required by applicable Environmental Laws, conduct any investigation, study, sampling and testing,
and undertake any response or other corrective action necessary to investigate, remove and clean up
all Hazardous Materials at, on, under, or emanating from any of its properties and facilities, in
accordance with the requirements of all applicable Environmental Laws.

          SECTION 6.13. Further Assurances and Post-Closing Deliveries.

          (a) From time to time duly authorize, execute and deliver, or cause to be duly authorized,
executed and delivered, such additional instruments, certificates, financing statements, agreements
or documents, and take all reasonable actions (including filing UCC and other financing
statements), as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, for the purposes of perfecting the
rights of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties with respect to the
Collateral (or with respect to any additions thereto or replacements or proceeds or products
thereof or with respect to any other property or assets hereafter acquired by the Parent Borrower
or any other Loan Party which may be deemed to be part of the Collateral to the extent required by
the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement), in each case subject to the limitations and exceptions
set forth in the Collateral Documents and the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement.

          (b) Within five Business Days of the Closing Date (unless otherwise agreed between the Parent
Borrower and the Administrative Agent), the Parent Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent the following documents, each of which shall be originals or facsimiles (followed promptly by
originals) unless otherwise specified, each properly executed by a Responsible Officer of the
signing Loan Party:

     (i) executed counterparts of the Guaranty (subject to the last paragraph of the
definition of Collateral and Guarantee Requirement), executed by each U.S.
Guarantor;

     (ii) a Note executed by the relevant Borrower(s) in favor of each Lender that
has requested a Note at least two Business Days in advance of the Closing Date;

     (iii) each Collateral Document set forth on Schedule 1.01A required to
be executed on or about the Closing Date as indicated on such schedule (subject to
Section 6.11(h) and the last paragraph of the definition of “Collateral and
Guarantee Requirement”), duly executed by each Loan Party thereto, together with:

     (A) certificates, if any, representing the Pledged Equity referred to
therein accompanied by undated stock powers executed in blank; and

          SECTION 6.14. Designation of Subsidiaries. The board of directors of the Parent
Borrower may at any time designate any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any
Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that (i) immediately before and after
such designation, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) the Parent Borrower shall
be in compliance with Section 7.14 calculated on a pro forma basis for such designation in
accordance with Section 1.10 (and, as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any such
designation, the Parent Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate setting
forth in reasonable detail the calculations demonstrating satisfaction of such test) and (iii) no
Subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if, after such designation, it would be
a “Restricted Subsidiary” for the purpose of the ABL Facilities, the New Senior Notes, or any other
Junior Financing or any other Indebtedness of any Loan Party. The designation of any Subsidiary as
an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall constitute an Investment by the Parent Borrower therein at the
date of designation in an amount equal to the net book value of the Parent Borrower’s investment
therein. The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall
constitute (i) the incurrence at the time of designation of any Indebtedness or Liens of such
Subsidiary existing at such time and (ii) a return on any Investment by the Loan Parties in
Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the preceding sentence in an amount equal to the Fair Market
Value at the date of such designation of the Loan Parties’ (as applicable) Investment in such
Subsidiary.

          SECTION 6.15. Interest Rate Protection. No later than 150 days after the Closing
Date, the Parent Borrower shall incur, and for a minimum of 3 years after the Closing Date
maintain, Hedging Obligations such that, after giving effect thereto, at least 40% of the aggregate
principal amount of its consolidated funded long-term Indebtedness outstanding on the Closing Date
(excluding Revolving Credit Loans) is effectively subject to a fixed or maximum interest rate.

          SECTION 6.16. License Subsidiaries.

          (a) Use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all material Broadcast Licenses
obtained on or after the Closing Date are held at all times by one or more Retained Existing Notes
Indenture Unrestricted License Subsidiaries; provided, however, such requirement will not apply if
holding any Broadcast License in a Retained Existing Notes Indenture Unrestricted License
Subsidiary (i) is reasonably likely to have material adverse tax, operational or strategic
consequences to the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiaries (as determined in good faith by
the Parent Borrower) or (ii) requires any approval of the FCC or any other Governmental Authority
that has not been obtained (the Parent Borrower agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts to
obtain any such approval).

-124-

 

          (b) Ensure that each License Subsidiary engages only in the business of holding Broadcast
Licenses and rights and activities related thereto.

          (c) Ensure that the FCC Authorizations held by each License Subsidiary are not (i) commingled
with the property of any Borrower and any Subsidiary thereof other than another License Subsidiary
or (ii) transferred by such License Subsidiary to the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary
(other than any other License Subsidiary), except in connection with a Disposition permitted under
Section 7.05.

          (d) Ensure that no License Subsidiary has any Indebtedness or other material liabilities
except (a) liabilities arising under the Loan Documents to which it is a party and (b) trade
payables incurred in the ordinary course of business, tax liabilities incidental to ownership of
such rights and other liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business, including those in
connection with agreements necessary or desirable to operate a Broadcast Station, including
retransmission consent, affiliation, programming, syndication, time brokerage, joint sales, lease
and similar agreements.

          For purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar-denominated restriction on the

foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the
date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of
revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to extend, replace, refund,
refinance, renew or defease other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such
extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance would cause the applicable
Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate
in effect on the date of such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or
defeasance, such Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long
as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of
such Indebtedness being extended, replaced, refunded, refinanced, renewed or defeased plus the
aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in
connection with such refinancing.

          The accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value and the payment of interest in the
form of additional Indebtedness shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for
purposes of this Section 7.03. The principal amount of any non-interest bearing Indebtedness or
other discount security constituting Indebtedness at any date shall be the principal amount thereof
that would be shown on a balance sheet of the Parent Borrower dated such date prepared in
accordance with GAAP.

reasonable efforts to obtain a waiver of such requirement) and (B) the Parent Borrower shall not,
transfer or participate any interests under any CCU Term Note other than to a U.S. Loan Party.

business, to the extent attributable to the ownership or operations of the Parent
Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries;

terminated;

     (b) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued
and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan
Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other
notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Borrower;

     (c) require that the Parent Borrower Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (in an
amount equal to the then Outstanding Amount thereof); and

     (d) exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to
it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or applicable Law;

provided that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect
to any Borrower under the Debtor Relief Laws, the Commitments of each Lender and any obligation of
the L/C Issuers to make L/C Credit Extensions shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal
amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically
become due and payable, and the obligation of the Parent Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C
Obligations as aforesaid shall automatically become effective, in each case without further act of
the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

          SECTION 8.03. Application of Funds. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, after the
exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become
immediately due and payable and the L/C Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash
Collateralized as set forth in the proviso to Section 8.02), any amounts received on account of the
Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

     First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities,
expenses and other amounts (other than principal and interest, but including Attorney Costs
payable under Section 10.04 and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the
Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

-153-

 

     Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities
and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders (including
Attorney Costs payable under Section 10.04 and amounts payable under Article III), ratably
among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

     Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid
interest on the Loans and L/C Borrowings, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the
respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

     Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of
the Loans and L/C Borrowings, Hedging Obligations and Cash Management Obligations, ratably
among the Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause
Fourth held by them; provided that any proceeds from the exercise of remedies against
collateral that constitutes Specified Assets shall be allocated to repay Obligations
constituting unpaid principal of the Tranche C Term Loans prior to repayment of any other
Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and L/C Borrowings, Hedging
Obligations and Cash Management Obligations;

     Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuers, to Cash
Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of
Letters of Credit;

     Sixth, to the payment of all other Obligations of the Loan Parties that are due and
payable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date, ratably
based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to the
Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date; and

     Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in
full, to the Parent Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

Subject to Section 2.03(c), amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of
Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such
Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all
Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied
to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above and, if no Obligations remain
outstanding, to the Parent Borrower.

          SECTION 8.04. Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Article VIII, in the event that the Parent Borrower fails to comply with the requirements of
Section 7.14 as of the end of any relevant Test Period, until the date that is 10 days after the
date the financial statements with respect to such Test Period are required to be delivered
pursuant to Section 6.01, Parent shall have the right to make an equity investment in the Parent
Borrower (other than in the form of Disqualified Equity Interests) in cash or otherwise make cash
common equity contributions to the Parent Borrower (in each case, with the proceeds of any equity
investment made in Parent by the Sponsors) (the “Cure Right”), and upon receipt by the Parent
Borrower of such cash contributions (the “Cure Amount”), the Parent Borrower’s compliance with
Section 7.14 shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments:
(i) EBITDA shall be increased, solely for the purposes of determining compliance with Section 7.14,
including determining compliance with Section 7.14 as of the end of such Test Period and applicable
subsequent periods that include such fiscal quarter for which the Cure Right is exercised by an
amount equal to the Cure Amount and (ii) if, after giving effect to the foregoing calculations (but
not, for the avoidance of doubt, giving pro forma effect to any repayment of Indebtedness in
connection therewith), the requirements of Section 7.14 shall be satisfied, then the requirements
of Section 7.14

-154-

 

shall be deemed satisfied as of the end of the relevant Test Period with the same
effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable
breach or default of Section 7.14 that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) in each four fiscal quarter period
there shall be a period of at least one fiscal quarter in which the Cure Right is not exercised,
(y) the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required for purposes of complying with
Section 7.14 and (z) the Cure Amount shall be disregarded for purposes of determining compliance
with any other provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any other provision that
requires compliance with Section 7.14 on a pro forma basis).

ARTICLE IX

Administrative Agent and Other Agents

          SECTION 9.01. Appointment and Authorization of the Administrative Agent.

          (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative
Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan
Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by
the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in
any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities, except
those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any
fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with
reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express)
obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely
as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative
relationship between independent contracting parties. The provisions of this Article (other than
Sections 9.10 and 9.12) are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and
neither any Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any
of such provisions.

          (b) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit
issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each such L/C Issuer shall have all of the
benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article IX with respect to
any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued
by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit
pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this
Article IX and in the definition of “Agent-Related Person” included such L/C Issuer with respect to
such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to such L/C Issuer.

          (c) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan
Documents, and each of the Lenders (in its capacities as a Lender, Swing Line Lender (if
applicable), L/C Issuer (if applicable) and a potential Hedge Bank and/or Cash Management Bank)
hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of (and to
hold any security interest created by the Collateral Documents for and on behalf of or on trust
for) such Lender and its Affiliates for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all
Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together
with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the
Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” (and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact
appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.02 for purposes

-155-

 

 of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted
under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the
direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this
Article IX (including Section 9.07, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were
the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect
thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lenders hereby expressly authorize
the Administrative Agent to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the
Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto (including the Intercreditor
Agreement), as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the
Collateral Documents and acknowledge and agree that any such action by any Agent shall bind the
Lenders.

          SECTION 9.02. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its
duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including for purposes of holding or
enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral
Documents or of exercising any rights and remedies thereunder) by or through agents, sub-agents,
employees or attorneys-in-fact (including for the purpose of any Borrowing or payment in
Alternative Currencies) as shall be deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent (other than to a
Disqualified Institution) and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or
experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Each such sub-agent and the Affiliates
of the Administrative Agent and each such sub-agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all
provisions of this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 (as though such sub-agents were the
“Administrative Agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect
thereto. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any
agent or sub-agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or
willful misconduct (as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

          SECTION 9.03. Liability of Agents. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for
any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in
any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made
by any Loan Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any
certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any
Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the execution,
validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported
to be created under the Collateral Documents, or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other
party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related
Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire into
(i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered
hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance
of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the
occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or the perfection
or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created by the Collateral
Documents, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other
than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent, or
(vi) or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof. No
Agent-Related Person shall have any duties or obligations to any Lender or participant except those
expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Agent-Related Persons:

-156-

 

     (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of
whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

     (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby
or by the other Loan Documents that such Person is required to exercise as directed in
writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall
be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that such Person
shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel,
may expose it to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

     (c) shall not be required to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in
relation to any person on behalf of any Lender and each Lender confirms to the
Administrative Agent that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to
carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates.

          No Agent-Related Person be liable (i) to any participant or Secured Party or their Affiliates
for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders
(or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or such Person shall
believe in good faith shall be necessary under the circumstances) or (ii) in the absence of its own
gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction.

          SECTION 9.04. Reliance by the Administrative Agent.

          (a) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in
relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail
message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and
to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements
of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts
selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing
or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or
concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first
be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which
may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The
Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting,
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the
Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any
instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding
upon all the Lenders; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any
action that, in its opinion or in the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent
to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law.

          (b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.01, each
Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or
to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or
approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection
thereto.

          SECTION 9.05. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the
payment

-157-

 

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

          SECTION 9.06. Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Agents. Each Lender
acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that
no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or
review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any
representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including
whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender
represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related
Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and
other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all
applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made
its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrowers and the other
Loan Parties hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without
reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in
taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such
investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations,
property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and the other Loan
Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the
Lenders by any Agent herein, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any
Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations,
property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of
their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

          SECTION 9.07. Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated
hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Administrative Agent and each
other Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and
without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless the
Administrative Agent and each other Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified
Liabilities incurred by it; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any
Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such
Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that no action taken in accordance with the
directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be
required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful
misconduct for purposes of this Section 9.07; provided further that any obligation to indemnify an
L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 9.07 shall be limited to the Lenders of the appropriate
Facility only. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any
Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 9.07 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or
proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each
Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or
out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in
connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or
enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings

-158-

 

 or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under,
this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to
the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the
Borrowers, provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrowers’
continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. The undertaking in this Section 9.07
shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and
the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

          SECTION 9.08. Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, the
Agents may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable
withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other authority of the United States or
other jurisdiction asserts a claim that an Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to
or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the
appropriate form was not delivered or not property executed, or because such Lender failed to
notify the Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of
withholding tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent (to the
extent that the Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting or
expanding the obligation of the Borrowers to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly,
by the Agent as taxes or otherwise, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties thereto,
together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses,
whether or not such taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Government
Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by
the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

          SECTION 9.09. Agents in Their Individual Capacities.

          (a) Each Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its
capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent
and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the
context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual
capacity. Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account
of, accept deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking,
trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Loan Parties and their
respective Affiliates as though such Agent were not an Agent or an L/C Issuer hereunder and without
notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities,
any Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or any of its
Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of
such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that no Agent shall be under any obligation to
provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, each Agent shall have the same rights
and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as
though it were not an Agent or an L/C Issuer, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include each
Agent in its individual capacity.

          (b) Each Lender understands that the Person serving as Administrative Agent, acting in its
individual capacity, and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Agent’s Group”) are engaged in a wide
range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities
trading, corporate and investment banking and research) (such services and businesses are
collectively referred to in this Section 9.09 as “Activities”) and may engage in the Activities
with or on behalf of one or more of the Loan Parties or their respective Affiliates. Furthermore,
the Agent’s Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or
undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others (including the
Loan Parties and their Affiliates and including holding, for its own account or on behalf of
others, equity, debt and similar positions in the Parent Borrower, another Loan Party or their
respective Affiliates), including trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in
securities, loans or other financial products of one or more of the Loan Parties or their Affiliates.

-159-

 

 Each Lender understands and agrees that in engaging in the Activities, the Agent’s
Group may receive or otherwise obtain information concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates
(including information concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their respective
Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) which information may not be available to
any of the Lenders that are not members of the Agent’s Group. None of the Administrative Agent nor
any member of the Agent’s Group shall have any duty to disclose to any Lender or use on behalf of
the Lenders, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any information
whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any information concerning
the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of
any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party) or to account for any revenue or profits
obtained in connection with the Activities, except that the Administrative Agent shall deliver or
otherwise make available to each Lender such documents as are expressly required by any Loan
Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders.

          (c) Each Lender further understands that there may be situations where members of the Agent’s
Group or their respective customers (including the Loan Parties and their Affiliates) either now
have or may in the future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the interests of
any one or more of the Lenders (including the interests of the Lenders hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents). Each Lender agrees that no member of the Agent’s Group is or shall be
required to restrict its activities as a result of the Person serving as Administrative Agent being
a member of the Agent’s Group, and that each member of the Agent’s Group may undertake any
Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Lender. None of (i) this
Agreement nor any other Loan Document, (ii) the receipt by the Agent’s Group of information
(including Information) concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including information
concerning the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their respective Obligations hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents) nor (iii) any other matter shall give rise to any fiduciary,
equitable or contractual duties (including without limitation any duty of trust or confidence)
owing by the Administrative Agent or any member of the Agent’s Group to any Lender including any
such duty that would prevent or restrict the Agent’s Group from acting on behalf of customers
(including the Loan Parties or their Affiliates) or for its own account.

          SECTION 9.10. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as
the Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the Lenders and the Parent
Borrower. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall
appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be
consented to by the Parent Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of
Default under Section 8.01(f) (which consent of the Parent Borrower shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed). If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the
resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting
with the Lenders and the Parent Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the
acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor
agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and
the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent and/or supplemental
administrative agent, as the case may be, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment,
powers and duties as the Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this
Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no
successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty
(30) days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders
shall 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. Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor and upon the execution and filing
or recording of such financing statements, or amendments

-160-

 

thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such other instruments or
notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to (a)
continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents
or (b) otherwise ensure that the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement is satisfied, the
Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents
(if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 9.10). After the retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this
Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent.

          Any resignation by the Administrative Agent as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section
shall also constitute its resignation as an L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance
of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to
and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer
and Swing Line Lender, (ii) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from
all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and
(iii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of
Credit issued by the Administrative Agent, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or
make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer effectively to assume the
obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

          SECTION 9.11. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency
of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment,
composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent
(irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable
as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative
Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention
in such proceeding or otherwise:

     (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing
and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing
and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to
have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(i) and (j), 2.09 and 10.04) allowed
in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the
Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective
agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and
10.04.

          Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement,

-161-

 

adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to
authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such
proceeding.

          SECTION 9.12. Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably agree:

     (a) that any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under
any Loan Document shall be automatically released (i) upon termination of the Aggregate
Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (x) obligations under Secured
Hedge Agreements not yet due and payable, (y) Cash Management Obligations not yet due and
payable and (z) contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable) and the
expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit in which
the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations related thereto have been Cash Collateralized
or, if satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer in its sole discretion, for which a backstop
letter of credit is in place), (ii) at the time the property subject to such Lien is
transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any transfer permitted
hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Person other than a Loan Party (it being
understood that in the event that property that constitutes Collateral is transferred to any
Loan Party, such property shall continue to constitute Collateral under the Loan Documents),
(iii) subject to Section 10.01, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or
ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, or (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is
owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor, upon release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its
obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to clause (c) below;

     (b) to release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the
Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that
is permitted by Section 7.01(i); and

     (c) that any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations
under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of a
transaction or designation permitted hereunder; provided that no such release shall occur if
such Guarantor continues to be a guarantor in respect of the New Senior Notes, or any Junior
Financing.

          Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in
writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular
types or items of property, or to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the
Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.12. In each case as specified in this Section 9.12, the
Administrative Agent will promptly (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent
to), at the Parent Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such
documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release or subordination of
such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral
Documents, or to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in
each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.12.

          SECTION 9.13. Other Agents; Arrangers and Managers. Except as expressly provided
herein, none of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of
this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “joint bookrunner” or “joint lead
arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this
Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none
of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary
relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely,
on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in
taking or not taking action hereunder.

-162-

 

          SECTION 9.14. Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agents.

          (a) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no
violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations
or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized
that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in
particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative
Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any
of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any
other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent
is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative
agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional
individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Administrative
Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Administrative Agents”).

          (b) In the event that the Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental Administrative Agent
with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or
intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or
conveyed to the Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and
vest in such Supplemental Administrative Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to
enable such Supplemental Administrative Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with
respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every
covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or
performance thereof by such Supplemental Administrative Agent shall run to and be enforceable by
either the Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, and (ii) the provisions
of this Article IX and of Sections 10.04 and 10.05 that refer to the Administrative Agent shall
inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Administrative Agent and all references therein to the
Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent and/or such
Supplemental Administrative Agent, as the context may require.

          (c) Should any instrument in writing from any Loan Party be required by any Supplemental
Administrative Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting
in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Parent Borrower or
Holdings, as applicable, shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver
any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent. In case any
Supplemental Administrative Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting,
resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental
Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the
Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Administrative Agent.

          SECTION 9.15. Intercreditor Agreement. The Administrative Agent is authorized to
enter into the Intercreditor Agreement, and the parties hereto acknowledge that the Intercreditor
Agreement is binding upon them. Each Lender (a) hereby consents to the subordination of the Liens
on the Receivables Collateral securing the Obligations on the terms set forth in the Intercreditor
Agreement, (b) hereby agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the
provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and (c) hereby authorizes and instructs the
Administrative Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and to subject the Liens on the
Receivables Collateral securing the Obligations to the provisions thereof. The foregoing
provisions are intended as an inducement to the ABL Secured Parties (as such term is defined in the
Intercreditor Agreement) to extend credit to the borrowers under the ABL Credit Agreement and such
ABL Secured Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of such provisions and the provisions of
the Intercreditor Agreement.

-163-

 

          SECTION 9.16. Administrative Agent Dutch Claims; Dutch Secured Party Claims. With
respect to any security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the
Secured Parties which is created under any Collateral Document governed by the laws of the
Netherlands:

     (a) Each Dutch Loan Party must pay the Administrative Agent, as an independent and
separate creditor, an amount equal to each Dutch Secured Party Claim on its due date (the
“Administrative Agent Dutch Claim”).

     (b) The Administrative Agent may enforce performance of any Administrative Agent Dutch
Claim in its own name as an independent and separate right. This includes any suit,
execution, enforcement of security, recovery of guarantees and applications for and voting
in respect of any kind of insolvency proceeding.

     (c) Each Secured Party must, at the request of the Administrative Agent, perform any
act required in connection with the enforcement of any Administrative Agent Dutch Claim.
This includes joining in any proceedings as co-claimant with the Administrative Agent.

     (d) Each Dutch Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have
to require a Secured Party to join in any proceedings as co-claimant with the Administrative
Agent in respect of any Administrative Agent Dutch Claim.

     (e) (i) Discharge by a Dutch Loan Party of a Secured Party Claim will discharge the
corresponding Administrative Agent Dutch Claim in the same amount and (ii) discharge by a
Dutch Loan Party of an Administrative Agent Dutch Claim will discharge the corresponding
Secured Party Claim in the same amount.

     (f) The aggregate amount of the Administrative Agent Dutch Claims will never exceed the
aggregate amount of the Secured Party Claims.

     (g) (i) A defect affecting an Administrative Agent Dutch Claim against a Dutch Loan
Party will not affect any Secured Party Claim and (ii) a defect affecting a Secured Party
Claim against a Dutch Loan Party will not affect any Administrative Agent Dutch Claim.

          SECTION 10.01. Amendments, Etc. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no
amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than the
Intercreditor Agreement), and no consent to any departure by any Borrower or any other Loan Party
therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Required Lenders and the Parent
Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and each such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided

Lender);

-164-

 

     (b) postpone any date scheduled for, or reduce the amount of, any payment of principal

waiver of (or amendment to the terms of) any mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans shall
not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or
interest;

     (c) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest or premium specified herein on,
any Loan or L/C Borrowing, or (subject to clause (iii) of the second proviso to this

without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, it being understood
that any change to the definition of Total Leverage Ratio or Secured Leverage Ratio or in
the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest;
provided that, only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the
definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of any Borrower to pay interest at
the Default Rate;

     (d) change any provision of this Section 10.01, the definition of “Required Lenders” or

and provided further that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed

any part of whose Loans are being funded by an SPC at the time of such amendment, waiver or other
modification; and (v) the consent of Required Facility Lenders shall be required with respect to
any amendment that by its terms adversely affects the rights of Lenders under such Facility in
respect of payments hereunder in a manner different than such amendment affects other Facilities.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to
approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of
such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender (it being
understood that any Commitments or Loans held or deemed held by any Defaulting Lender shall be
excluded for a vote of the Lenders hereunder requiring any consent of the Lenders).

          No amendment or waiver of any provision of the Intercreditor Agreement shall be effective
unless consented to in writing by the Required Lenders, and each such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

          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 Parent Borrower (a)
to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of

thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the
Term Loans and the Revolving Credit Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and

Required Lenders.

          In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written
consent of the Administrative Agent, the Parent Borrower and the Lenders providing the Replacement
Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans of a

immediately prior to such refinancing, (c) the final maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall
not be prior to the final maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans and 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 (except by virtue of
amortization or prepayment of the Refinanced Term Loans prior to the time of such incurrence) 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.

          The Parent Borrower will not , directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any
consideration, to or for the benefit of any Lender for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver
or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless
such consideration is offered to be paid to all Lenders and is paid to all Lenders that consent,
waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the documents relating to such consent,
waiver or agreement.

          SECTION 10.02. Notices and Other Communications; Facsimile Copies.

delivered to the applicable address, facsimile number or electronic mail address, and all notices
and other communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to
the applicable telephone number, as follows:

     (i) if to any Borrower, any other Loan Party, the Administrative Agent, an L/C Issuer
or the Swing Line Lender, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or
telephone number specified for such Person on Schedule 10.02 or to such other
address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be

     (ii) if to any other Lender, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address
or telephone number specified in its Administrative Questionnaire or to such other address,
facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such
party in a notice to the Parent Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the
Swing Line Lender.

All such notices and other communications shall be deemed to be given or made upon the earlier to
occur of (i) actual receipt by the relevant party hereto and (ii) (A) if delivered by hand or by
courier, when signed for by or on behalf of the relevant party hereto; (B) if delivered by mail,
four (4) Business Days after deposit in the mails, postage prepaid; (C) if delivered by facsimile,
when sent and receipt has been confirmed by telephone; (D) if delivered by electronic mail (which

delivered by posting to a Platform, an Internet website or a similar telecommunication device
requiring that a user have prior access to such Platform, website or other device (to the extent
permitted by Section 10.02(d) to be delivered thereunder), when such notice, demand, request,
consent and other communication shall have been made generally available on such Platform, Internet
website or similar device to the class of Person being notified (regardless of whether any such
Person must accomplish, and whether or not any such Person shall have accomplished, any action
prior to obtaining access to such items, including registration, disclosure of contact information,
compliance with a standard user agreement or undertaking a duty of confidentiality) and such Person
has been notified in respect of such posting that a communication has been posted to the Platform;
provided that notices and other communications to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the
Swing Line Lender pursuant to Article II or Article IX shall not be effective until actually
received by such Person. In no event shall a voice mail message be effective as a notice,
communication or confirmation hereunder.

          (b) Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures. Loan Documents may be transmitted
and/or signed by facsimile or other electronic communication (i.e., TIF or PDF or other similar
communication). The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to
applicable Law, have the same force and effect as manually signed originals and shall be binding on
all Loan Parties, the Agents and the Lenders.

          (c) Reliance by Agents and Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be
entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices and Swing
Line Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower even if (i) such notices were
not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any
other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient,
varied from any confirmation thereof. Each Borrower, jointly and severally, shall indemnify each
Agent-Related Person and each Lender from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting
from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of such Borrower
in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person, as determined by a final
judgment of a court of competent

jurisdiction. All telephonic notices to the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the
Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

          (d) Notwithstanding clause (a) (unless the Administrative Agent requests that the provisions
of clause (a) be followed) and any other provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document
providing for the delivery of any Approved Electronic Communication by any other means, the Loan
Parties shall deliver all Approved Electronic Communications to the Administrative Agent by
properly transmitting such Approved Electronic Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a
format acceptable to the Administrative Agent to oploanswebadmin@citigroup.com or such
other electronic mail address (or similar means of electronic delivery) as the Administrative Agent
may notify to the Parent Borrower. Nothing in this clause (d) shall prejudice the right of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to deliver any Approved Electronic Communication to any Loan
Party in any manner authorized in this Agreement or to request that the Parent Borrower effect
delivery in such manner.

          SECTION 10.03. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or the
Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy,
power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof;
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or
privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each
other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and
privileges provided by Law.

          SECTION 10.04. Attorney Costs and Expenses. (a) The Parent Borrower agrees if the
Closing Date occurs, to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agents the
Documentation Agent and the Arrangers for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, syndication and execution of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendment, waiver, consent or other
modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated
thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, including all Attorney Costs of Cahill Gordon & Reindel llp and one
local and foreign counsel in each relevant jurisdiction, and (b) each Borrower agrees, jointly and
severally, to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for all reasonable and
documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any
rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all such costs and
expenses incurred during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief
Law, and including Attorney Costs but limited to those of one counsel to the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders (and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the event of any
actual conflict of interest, one additional counsel to the affected parties). The agreements in
this Section 10.04 shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all
other Obligations. All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be paid promptly following
receipt by the Parent Borrower of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expenses in
reasonable detail. If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts
payable by it hereunder or under any Loan Document, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan
Party by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

          SECTION 10.05. Indemnification by the Borrowers. Each Borrower shall, jointly and
severally, indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each Lender, the Arrangers and
their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees or advisors
(collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements
(including Attorney Costs, which shall be limited to Attorney Costs of one counsel to the
Administrative Agent and Arrangers and one counsel to the other Lenders (and one local counsel in
each applicable jurisdiction for each such group and, in the

-168-

 

event of any actual conflict of interest, one additional counsel to the affected parties)) of
any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against
any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the
execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other
agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby
or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment, Loan or Letter of
Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an L/C Issuer
to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection
with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), or (c) any actual
or alleged presence or Release or threat of Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, under or from
any property or facility currently or formerly owned or operated by any Borrower, any Subsidiary or
any other Loan Party, or any Environmental Liability arising out of the activities or operations of
any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or (d) any actual or prospective claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of
any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether
any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”);
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct, as determined by the final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction, of such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, member, employee, agent,
trustee or advisor of such Indemnitee or (y) a breach of any obligations under any Loan Document by
such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee, agent, trustee or advisor of such
Indemnitee as determined by the final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction. To the extent that the undertakings to indemnify and hold harmless set forth in this
Section 10.05 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any applicable
law or public policy, the Borrowers shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to
pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities
incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising
from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other
similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall any
Indemnitee or any Loan Party have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or
consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its
activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). In the
case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this
Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation,
litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, stockholders or creditors or
an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and
whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan
Documents is consummated. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be paid within 10
Business Days after written demand therefor. The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive
the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the
Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

          SECTION 10.06. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of
the Borrowers is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of
setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant
to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a
trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law
or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally
intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment
had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to
the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share

-169-

 

of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of
such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight
Rate from time to time in effect.

          SECTION 10.07. Successors and Assigns.

          (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither
Holdings nor any Borrower may, except as permitted by Section 7.04, assign or otherwise transfer
any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee, (ii) by way of participation in
accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(e), (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a
security interest subject to the restrictions of Sections 10.07(g) and 10.07(i) or (iv) to an SPC
in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(h) (and any other attempted assignment or
transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or
implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, and their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in
Section 10.07(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement; provided,
however, that the Parent Borrower (both prior to and after the consummation of the Merger)
shall be deemed to be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.

          (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign
to one or more Persons (“Assignees”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of
this Section 10.07(b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing
to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, it
being understood that the Parent Borrower shall have the right to withhold its consent if the
Parent Borrower would be required to obtain the consent of, or make a filing or registration with,
a Governmental Agency) of:

     (A) the Parent Borrower, provided that no consent of the Parent Borrower shall be
required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an
Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or, solely with respect to any Borrower, Section
8.01(f) has occurred and is continuing, any Assignee;

     (B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent
shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan to another Lender,
an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

     (C) solely in the case of any assignment under any Revolving Credit Facility under
which such Person is a Principal L/C Issuer, each Principal L/C Issuer at the time of such
assignment, provided that no consent of any Principal L/C Issuer shall be required for an
assignment to an Agent or any Affiliate thereof; and

     (D) in the case of any assignment of any of the Dollar Revolving Credit Facility, the
Swing Line Lender; provided that no consent of the Swing Line Lender shall be required for
an assignment of all or any portion of the Dollar Revolving Credit Loans to another Dollar
Revolving Credit Lender.

-170-

 

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

     (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s
Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment 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 or such
other date on which such Assignment and Assumption is effective) shall not be less than and
shall be an integral multiple of (x) a Dollar Amount of $5,000,000 (in the case of the
Revolving Credit Facilities) or (y) $1,000,000 (in the case of a Term Loan) unless each of
the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents, provided that (1) no
such consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under
Section 8.01(a) or, solely with respect to any Borrower, Section 8.01(f) 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 the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive
such processing and recordation fee in the case of any Assignment;

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

     (D) the Assignee shall comply with Section 3.01(b) and (c) or Section 3.01(d), as
applicable.

          This paragraph (b) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights
and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis.

          (c) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 10.07(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption,
the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a 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 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts
and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, and the
surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, the relevant Borrower (at its expense) shall execute
and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (c) 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 Section 10.07(e).

          (d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers,
shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption
delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and
the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans, L/C
Obligations (specifying the Unreimbursed Amounts), L/C Borrowings and amounts due under
Section 2.03, 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
Borrowers, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person

-171-

 

 whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder
for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be
available for inspection by the Parent Borrower, any Agent and, with respect to itself, any Lender,
at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

          (e) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Parent Borrower or
the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person) (each, a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s
participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain
solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii)
the Borrowers, the Agents 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 or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that
such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and
to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not,
without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification
described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to
Section 10.07(f), the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 3.01 (subject to the requirements of Section 3.01(b) and (c) or Section 3.01(d), as
applicable), 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest
by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(c). To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each
Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.10 as though it were a Lender;
provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.
Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the
principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other
obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant
Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose
name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the participation in question for all
purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

          (f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01,
3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the
participation sold to such Participant, unless, in the case of Section 3.01, the sale of the
participation to such Participant is made with the Parent Borrower’s prior written consent (not to
be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

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

          (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting
Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to
time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Parent Borrower (an “SPC”) the
option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be
obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a
commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or
otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to
make such Loan pursuant to the terms

-172-

 

hereof. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the
exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or
change the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement (including their obligations under
Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05), except, in the case of Section 3.01, the increase or change results
from a Change in Law after the SPC becomes a SPC and the grant was made with the Parent Borrower’s
prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for
any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be
liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any
amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of
record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the
Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but
without prior consent of the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a
processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to
any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public
information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or
provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

          (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (1) any Lender may in
accordance with applicable Law create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing
to it and the Note, if any, held by it and (2) any Lender that is a Fund may create a security
interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the
trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such
obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in
compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the
pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall
not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such
trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure
or otherwise.

          (j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any L/C Issuer or the Swing
Line Lender may, upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the Parent Borrower and the Lenders, resign
as an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, respectively; provided that on or prior to the
expiration of such 30-day period with respect to such resignation, the relevant L/C Issuer or the
Swing Line Lender shall have identified, in consultation with the Parent Borrower, a successor L/C
Issuer or the Swing Line Lender willing to accept its appointment as successor L/C Issuer or Swing
Line Lender, as applicable. In the event of any such resignation of an L/C Issuer or the Swing
Line Lender, the Parent Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders willing to
accept such appointment a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided that no
failure by the Parent Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the
relevant L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If an L/C Issuer resigns as an
L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect
to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer
and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make
Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If the
Swing Line Lender resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line
Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the
effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate
Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c).

          SECTION 10.08. Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain
the confidentiality of the Information, and to not use or disclose such Information, except that
Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ respective managers,
administrators, directors, officers, employees, trustees, investment advisors, partners, advisors,
agents and other representatives,

-173-

 

 including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the
Persons to whom such disclosure is made shall be informed of the confidential nature of such
Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent required by
applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (c) to any other party
to this Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement; (d) subject to an agreement to be bound by
provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.08 (or as may otherwise be reasonably
acceptable to the Parent Borrower), to any pledgee referred to in Section 10.07(g), Eligible
Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee or pledgee of or Participant
in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or to any actual or prospective party (or
its managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors
and other representatives) to any swap or derivative or similar transaction under which payments
are to be made by reference to the Borrowers and their obligations, this Agreement or payments
hereunder, any rating agency, or the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization; (e) with the
written consent of the Parent Borrower; (f) to the extent such Information becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08 or becomes available to the
Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Issuing Bank or any of their respective affiliates on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Loan Party who is not known to such Person to be
in breach of any obligation of confidentiality; (g) to any Governmental Authority, examiner,
self-regulatory authority or other regulatory authority (including the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization) regulating or purporting to regulate any
Lender; or (h) in connection with the administration of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents
or the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights
hereunder or thereunder. In addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of
this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service
providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in
connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the
Commitments, and the Credit Extensions. For the purposes of this Section 10.08, “Information”
means all information received from or on behalf of any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries or any Loan
Party’s or its Subsidiaries’ directors, officers, employees, trustees, investment advisors or
agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors, relating to Holdings, the
Borrowers or any of their subsidiaries or their respective businesses, other than any such
information that is publicly available to any Agent or any Lender prior to disclosure by any Loan
Party other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08; provided that, in the case of
information received from a Loan Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly
identified at the time of delivery as confidential or (ii) is delivered pursuant to Section 6.01,
6.02 or 6.03 hereof. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as
provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such
Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as
such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

          SECTION 10.09. Treatment of Information.

          (a) Certain of the Lenders may enter into this Agreement and take or not take action hereunder
or under the other Loan Documents on the basis of information that does not contain material
non-public information with respect to any of the Loan Parties or their securities (“Restricting
Information”). Other Lenders may enter into this Agreement and take or not take action hereunder
or under the other Loan Documents on the basis of information that may contain Restricting
Information. Each Lender acknowledges that United States federal and state securities laws
prohibit any person from purchasing or selling securities on the basis of material, non-public
information concerning the issuer of such securities or, subject to certain limited exceptions,
from communicating such information to any other Person. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any
of its Affiliates shall, by making any Communications (including Restricting Information) available
to a Lender, by participating in any conversations or other interactions with a Lender or
otherwise, make or be deemed to make any statement with regard to or otherwise

-174-

 

 warrant that any such information or Communication does or does not contain Restricting
Information nor shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates be responsible or liable in
any way for any decision a Lender may make to limit or to not limit its access to Restricting
Information. In particular, none of the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates (i) shall
have, and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates, hereby
disclaims, any duty to ascertain or inquire as to whether or not a Lender has or has not limited
its access to Restricting Information, such Lender’s policies or procedures regarding the
safeguarding of material, nonpublic information or such Lender’s compliance with applicable laws
related thereto or (ii) shall have, or incur, any liability to any Loan Party or Lender or any of
their respective Affiliates arising out of or relating to the Administrative Agent or any of its
Affiliates providing or not providing Restricting Information to any Lender.

          (b) Each Lender acknowledges that circumstances may arise that require it to refer to
Communications that might contain Restricting Information. Accordingly, each Lender agrees that it
will nominate at least one designee to receive Communications (including Restricting Information)
on its behalf and identify such designee (including such designee’s contact information) on such
Lender’s Administrative Questionnaire. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from
time to time of such Lender’s designee’s e-mail address to which notice of the availability of
Restricting Information may be sent by electronic transmission.

          (c) Each Lender acknowledges that Communications delivered hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents may contain Restricting Information and that such Communications are available to all
Lenders generally. Each Lender that elects not to take access to Restricting Information does so
voluntarily and, by such election, acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent and other
Lenders may have access to Restricting Information that is not available to such electing Lender.
None of the Administrative Agent nor any Lender with access to Restricting Information shall have
any duty to disclose such Restricting Information to such electing Lender or to use such
Restricting Information on behalf of such electing Lender, and shall not be liable for the failure
to so disclose or use, such Restricting Information.

          (d) The provisions of the foregoing clauses of this Section 10.09 are designed to assist the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Loan Parties, in complying with their respective
contractual obligations and applicable law in circumstances where certain Lenders express a desire
not to receive Restricting Information notwithstanding that certain Communications hereunder or
under the other Loan Documents or other information provided to the Lenders hereunder or thereunder
may contain Restricting Information. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates
warrants or makes any other statement with respect to the adequacy of such provisions to achieve
such purpose nor does the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates warrant or make any other
statement to the effect that an Loan Party’s or Lender’s adherence to such provisions will be
sufficient to ensure compliance by such Loan Party or Lender with its contractual obligations or
its duties under applicable law in respect of Restricting Information and each of the Lenders and
each Loan Party assumes the risks associated therewith.

          SECTION 10.10. Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided
by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and its
Affiliates and each L/C Issuer and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time,
without prior notice to any Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the
Borrowers (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries) to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing
to, such Lender and its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer and its Affiliates, as the case may be, to or
for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties and their Restricted Subsidiaries
against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates or such L/C Issuer and its
Affiliates hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now

-175-

 

or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender or Affiliate
shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such
Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the
applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no
Lender or its Affiliates and no L/C Issuer or its Affiliates shall have a right to set off and
apply any deposits held or other Indebtedness owing by such Lender or its Affiliates or such L/C
Issuer or its Affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of any Subsidiary
of a Loan Party which is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of
the Code unless such Subsidiary is not a direct or indirect subsidiary of Holdings. Each Lender
and L/C Issuer agrees promptly to notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any
such set off and application made by such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be; provided that
the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The
rights of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer under this Section 10.10 are in
addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative
Agent, such Lender and such L/C Issuer may have.

          SECTION 10.11. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents
shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the
“Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the
Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds
such unpaid principal, refunded to the relevant Borrower. In determining whether the interest
contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person
may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal
as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the
effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the
total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

          SECTION 10.12. Counterparts. This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be
executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile or electronic
transmission of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan
Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and
such other Loan Document. The Agents may also require that any such documents and signatures
delivered by facsimile or electronic transmission be confirmed by a manually signed original
thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness
of any document or signature delivered by facsimile or electronic transmission.

          SECTION 10.13. Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents,
comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and
thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event
of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the
provisions of this Agreement shall control.

          SECTION 10.14. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and
warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant
hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery
hereof and thereof, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other
Obligation (other than Secured Hedge Agreements, Cash Management Obligations and other Obligations
that are not accrued and payable) hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of
Credit (other than any Letter of Credit that has been Cash Collateralized or, if satisfactory to
the L/C Issuer in its sole discretion, for which a backstop letter of credit is in place) shall
remain outstanding.

-176-

 

          SECTION 10.15. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and
enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not
be affected or impaired thereby and the intent of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision
shall be followed as closely as legally possible. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

          SECTION 10.16. GOVERNING LAW.

          (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED THEREIN).

          (b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED
WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO
ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR
HEREAFTER ARISING, MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY
OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF SUCH STATE, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF
THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY HERETO CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE
NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS AND THE APPELLATE COURTS THEREOF. TO THE EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY
OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW
OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF
ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO
SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS IN
THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES (OTHER THAN TELEPHONE, FACSIMILE OR ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION) IN
SECTION 10.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY
PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

          SECTION 10.17. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF
ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY
CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH
RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW
EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY
HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED
BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL
COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 10.17 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF
THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

          SECTION 10.18. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall
have been executed by the Borrowers, Holdings and the Administrative Agent and the Administrative
Agent shall have been notified by each Lender, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer that each such
Lender,

-177-

 

Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, Holdings, each Agent and each Lender and their respective
successors and assigns.

          SECTION 10.19. Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any
court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency
into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal
banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other
currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of
the Borrowers in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the
“Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the
applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the
extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged
to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal
banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of
the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent
from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and
notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such
obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is
greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the
Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other
Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable Law).

          SECTION 10.20. Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute
any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party
under any of the Loan Documents or the Secured Hedge Agreements or agreements governing Cash
Management Obligations (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any
banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or
proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any
other property of any such Loan Party, without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent. The provision of this Section 10.20 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not
afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party.

          SECTION 10.21. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby
notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required
to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information
includes the name, address and tax identification number of such Loan Party and other information
that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party
in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act. This notice is given in accordance with the requirements
of the USA PATRIOT Act and is effective as to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.

          SECTION 10.22. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all
aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, each of Holdings and each Borrower acknowledges
and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that (i) the Facilities provided for
hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in
connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document)
are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Borrowers and their Affiliates, on the one
hand, and the Agents, the Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, and each Borrower is
capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions
of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment,
waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in connection with the process leading to
such transaction, each of the Agents, the Arrangers and the

-178-

 

Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent
or fiduciary, for the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or
any other Person; (iii) none of the Agents, the Arrangers or the Lenders has assumed or will assume
an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrowers with respect to any of
the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any
amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of
whether any Agent or Lender has advised or is currently advising any Borrower or any of their
Affiliates on other matters) and none of the Agents, the Arrangers or the Lenders has any
obligation to the Borrowers or any of their Affiliates with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents; (iv) the Agents, the Arrangers and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be
engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from, and may conflict
with, those of the Borrowers and their Affiliates, and none of the Agents, the Arrangers or the
Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or
fiduciary relationship; and (v) the Agents, the Arrangers and the Lenders have not provided and
will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the
transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or
of any other Loan Document) and Holdings and the Borrowers have consulted their own legal,
accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate. Each of
Holdings and each Borrower hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any
claims that it may have against the Agents, Arrangers and the Lenders with respect to any breach or
alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.

          SECTION 10.23. No Personal Liability. No past, present or future director, officer,
employee, incorporator, member, partner or stockholder of any Borrower, Holdings or any Loan Party
or any of their direct or indirect parent companies (other than the Borrowers, Holdings and any
other Loan Party) shall have any liability for any obligations of the Borrowers or the Loan Parties
under the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Guaranty, the Facilities, this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their
creation. Each Lender hereby waives and releases all such liability.

          SECTION 10.24. Limitations on Foreign Loan Parties.

          (a) Any obligation, guarantee or undertaking granted or assumed by any Loan Party incorporated
in England and Wales pursuant to this Agreement (including but not limited to Section 10.05) and
other Loan Documents shall be deemed not to be undertaken or incurred by such Loan Party to the
extent the same would constitute unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of Section 151 of
the Companies Act 1985 of England and Wales and the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall be construed accordingly. For the avoidance of doubt, this limitation does not
apply to any obligation of such Loan Party as principal debtor under the Alternative Currency
Revolving Credit Facility.

          (b) Any obligation, guarantee or undertaking granted or assumed by any Loan Party incorporated
in the Netherlands pursuant to this Agreement (including but not limited to Section 10.05) and
other Loan Documents shall be deemed not to be undertaken or incurred by such Loan Party to the
extent the same would constitute unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of Article 207(c)
or 98(c) of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code and the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall be construed accordingly. For the avoidance of doubt, this limitation does not
apply to any obligation of such Loan Party as principal debtor under the Alternative Currency
Revolving Credit Facility.

          SECTION 10.25. FCC.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents,
neither the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, nor any of their agents, will

-179-

 

take any action
pursuant to the Collateral Documents that would constitute or result in any assignment of the FCC
Authorizations or any transfer of control thereof, within the meaning of 310(d) of the
Communications Act of 1934 or other Communications Law, if such assignment of license or transfer
of control thereof would require thereunder the prior approval of the FCC, without first obtaining
such approval of the FCC.

          SECTION 10.26. Effectiveness of Merger. None of Holdings, the Parent Borrower, the
Subsidiary Co-Borrowers or the Foreign Subsidiary Revolving Borrowers shall have any rights or
obligations hereunder until the consummation of the Merger and any representations and warranties
of the Parent Borrower, the Subsidiary Co-Borrowers or the Foreign Subsidiary Revolving Borrowers
under the Loan Documents shall not become effective, and no Event of Default may occur, until such
time. Upon consummation of the Merger, and without any further action by any Person, each of
Holdings, the Parent Borrower, the Subsidiary Co-Borrowers or the Foreign Subsidiary Revolving
Borrowers hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) assumes and agrees punctually to pay, perform
and discharge when due each of the Obligations and each and every debt, covenant and agreement
incurred, made or to be paid, performed or discharged by it under the Loan Documents, (ii) agrees
to be bound by all the terms, provisions and conditions of the Loan Documents applicable to it and
(iii) agrees that it will be responsible for and deemed to have made all of its representations and
warranties set forth in the Loan Documents, whenever made or deemed to have been made.
